Chapter 292: Chapter 169: Good Intentions Gone Awry (Part 2)

"Dad, the new head chef Qi Sheng found is amazing! He’s the executive chef from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Guangzhou!"

Tao Siyao’s smug expression made Tao Ronghui and Xu Huifang roar with laughter.

"But it’s true! What’s so funny?"

Tao Siyao muttered under her breath. Seeing that Qi Sheng was also laughing, she shot him a playful glare.

"You... if you were even a tenth as composed as Ah Sheng, your mother and I would be secretly overjoyed."

Tao Ronghui looked at his daughter, who never seemed to grow up, and shook his head with a helpless sigh.

"Yaoyao has a great personality. I like it a lot."

Seeing his little princess pouting, Qi Sheng immediately smiled and complimented her.

"Love you~!"

Tao Siyao instantly perked up again and even made a finger heart at Qi Sheng.

"This girl..."

Tao Ronghui couldn’t be bothered to lecture Tao Siyao anymore.

’After all, his daughter is a great catch herself.’

’Even if she broke up with a great catch like Qi Sheng, she’d have no shortage of other suitors.’

Soon, the kitchen began sending out a steady stream of dishes.

"This plating... it’s really something."

As a local magnate, Tao Ronghui had lost count of his visits to famous, high-end restaurants.

The plating of the dishes before him was, at the very least, at the level of a restaurant costing 500+ per person.

"Dad, hurry up and try it! Is it as good as Jinsha Hall?"

Tao Siyao was even more anxious than Qi Sheng, desperate for her father’s approval.

"Huh?"

Tao Ronghui picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the first dish—a deep-sea scampi tartare—and was instantly blown away.

"This dish... it’s incredible!"

Tao Ronghui savored it, analyzing the dish with his seasoned palate.

"They must have used deep-sea scampi from New Zealand, diced and mixed with lemon and pickled scallion."

"Spot on!"

Qi Sheng gave Tao Ronghui a thumbs-up.

He had gotten the ingredients almost perfectly right.

’He’s definitely a true connoisseur.’

"Tsk, this chef’s skills are indeed impressive. Among all the Cantonese chefs whose food I’ve tried, he would rank in the top five."

Having tried only one dish, Tao Ronghui was still being conservative with his praise.

"Only top five?"

Tao Siyao pouted, displeased.

"This girl... I’ve only had one dish. How can I give such high praise so easily?"

Tao Ronghui shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Uncle, please try this fish maw soup."

Qi Sheng deliberately omitted the other ingredients, curious to see how many Tao Ronghui could identify.

"Whoa, this soup is something else!"

Just from smelling the aroma, Tao Ronghui’s anticipation was already building.

"Hmm... is that dried scallop, sea conch, and wild ginger lily in here?"

After a few more careful sips, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Clear but not bland, rich but not salty. This chef is a master of soups. The addition of the wild ginger lily is a masterstroke—it adds an instant floral fragrance. Okay, now he’s in my top three."
