Class Teacher System-Chapter 28: Poison poison poison (4)
Chapter 28: Poison poison poison (4)
Since Liang Zhi Hao also made shrimp dumplings, they couldn’t help but compare all the details. When Liang Zhi Hao’s shrimp dumplings, which were originally still considered to be fairly good, were put together against Chef Yin’s shrimp dumplings, they instantly paled in comparison. Just from the colour and fragrance, they could already clearly tell that there was a big difference. As for the taste, Teacher Ren beamed as he picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it into his mouth. After eating it, his smile became bigger.
Liang Zhi Hao felt that he had suffered a heavy blow. Just from seeing Ren Zhu’s expression, he could tell how big of a gap was between him and this top class star chef.
Yin Feng looked at Ren Zhu’s beaming smile. His face was full of joy and satisfaction as he ate the shrimp dumplings and seafood congee he made for him. When Yin Feng entered the room, his cold appearance unconsciously softened a lot and his gaze also unknowingly carried a smiling expression. He then looked at the four dejected students next to Ren Zhu and in a decent mood, he pointed out:
“The reason why the school offered a taste evaluation class was to let you all clearly understand what was lacking in your dishes. Just a moment ago, what Teacher Ren said was the points that each of you were most deficient in. Although you usually have a teacher to teach you culinary skills and question you about your techniques, ultimately the dishes that each chef make still need to be sampled by others. In this aspect, even if you are a top rated star chef, you still might not be able to compared with naturally gifted taste tasters.”
“So, that’s why a profession such as a food connoisseur exists.” With a cold and handsome face,Yin Feng started his teaching mode. He then pointed at Ren Zhu, who was still in the middle of eating, and said: “This is a natural taste tester. Being criticised by him is also not a loss.”
Consequently, the four students who received a blow all repeatedly nodded. They turned their heads and once again looked at Teacher Ren with gazes that seemed like they would emit a green beam. No matter how thick his skin was, Teacher Ren still felt a little uncomfortable under their stares. He coughed and drank a mouthful of seafood soup, then saying: “Don’t hope that next time you will still have this kind of opportunity. I have already said that I would give you a discount today, seeing that you all conscientiously came to visit me. However, next time it will be 10,000 yuan per taste. This is the lowest price.”
Thus, Song Tian Tian, whose family was the richest, lowered her head and silently calculated her allowance. She discovered that she would need to save up about two months worth of pocket money to be able to buy an opportunity for Ren Zhu to taste her dishes. Her expression immediately looked as though she was weeping. On the other hand, Song Ze’s two eyes were opened wide like a goldfish and said: “God! You’re eating for free and still want to take money! A food connoisseur is actually the best profession right?!”
The others all silently agreed in their hearts and nodded. When Teacher Ren saw that their expressions were like this, he coldly snorted. He then put down his chopsticks and looked at Song Ze. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗻𝐞𝘁
Song Ze was a little scared from this stare and couldn’t help retreating two steps: “What?”
Teacher Ren looked at him and said: “Beef noodle soup, oatmeal milk porridge, homemade cod hamburger, loose corn.”
Song Ze’s eyes widened: “God! Teacher Ren, you said everything that I ate for lunch!”
Even though Ren Zhu was sitting on the bed, he still revealed an arrogant smile as though he were a tyrant looking down on others: “So, I can be a top class food connoisseur, whereas you can only be a bear child.”
Song Ze flushed when he heard these words of ridicule. The other people in the room also revealed looks of amazement and admiration. It should be noted that they put all their energy into the kitchen every day. Their bodies were covered with at least ten different kinds of smells and yet Teacher Ren could actually accurately point out what Song Ze had for lunch. This sense of smell was simply sharp to the extreme.
At this moment, Wei Yi Liu was particularly smug as he shook his head: “Isn’t my uncle powerful? He had once also relied on this to help a grandfather in the same building find his lost dog! His nose is simply more sensitive than a dog’s! Aiyo! Uncle!”
Teacher Ren revealed a devilish smile: “Shut up.”
Wei Yi Liu instantly trembled and quickly shut his mouth.
Yin Feng looked at this scene and didn’t know why he felt that this was like déjà vu. He couldn’t help but feel happy and delighted.
Afterwards, Wei Yi Liu and Liang Zhi Hao’s group of four left. After all, the students would always feel a certain pressure when staying together with a teacher. Since they had already accomplished their purpose for visiting and the time wasn’t early, they decided to go back.
When they left, they might have unintentionally forgotten their classmate Lu Ming who had been sitting in the corner from the start. When only three people were left in the hospital room, Chef Yin looked at the gloomy youth who stubbornly refused to leave and raised his eyebrows: “What are you doing here?”
Lu Ming clenched his teeth and didn’t say anything. However, his two eyes were staring straight at Ren Zhu.
Seeing his expression, Ren Zhu quickly searched his mind for all the information related to Lu Ming. Sure enough, he then found a piece of information that made him want to spit on his predecessor in disdain.
“En, put the food box here. I will tell you how it tastes tomorrow.”
Because there was a third person present, Ren Zhu didn’t have a way to say his words more clearly, and Lu Ming also knew that at this moment, he shouldn’t open the food box. All his hope was put onto Ren Zhu. Even if his investment had no return, he still wanted to walk down this road.
“Alright. Then I’ll trouble Teacher.” Lu Ming’s voice was dark and gloomy. After saying this, he quietly left.
After he left, Yin Feng frowned and looked at Ren Zhu: “What’s wrong with this student? Is he asking you for something?” After saying this, Yin Feng seemed like he thought of something and said: “Health Centre Chef Song’s apprentice qualifications?”
Ren Zhu couldn’t help but pause in the middle of eating pudding. He sighed and felt at a loss as he glanced at Yin Feng. He thought that although this person had an iceberg face and seemed like he didn’t care about anything, how come he was exactly the same as Ning Xun? In any situation, he would be able to immediately grasp the key points. Let’s not mention that Ning Xun had studied psychology, but did this person only study cooking?
When Yin Feng saw that Ren Zhu was only wordlessly looking at him, he knew that his guess was correct. He first looked disapprovingly at the food box and after a long while, he couldn’t help saying: “He’s called Lu Ming? His performance in the entire seventh grade is pretty good, especially in the area of health dishes. He has research them a lot. If you want to recommend him, then I have nothing much to say about it. However…… he has such a gloomy temperament. When you face him, you should be more mindful so that you won’t suffer any losses.”
Ren Zhu originally thought that this iceberg chef who disliked him would directly criticise his teacher’s morals. After waiting a long time for his reply, this chef unexpectedly only told him to be careful? Ren Zhu raised his head and attentively looked at this person’s pair of eyes. He then suddenly laughed: “Rest assured. Having experienced this life or death calamity, I feel that as a person I should be happy and also have a sincere heart. In the future, I won’t receive any more monetary gifts. Regarding Lu Ming’s matter. I will properly deal with it later on.”
When Yin Feng heard these words, he was naturally happy. However, he was still not particularly at ease regarding Teacher Ren’s promise. After all, this person had selfishly thought of nothing but personal gain before. He still needed to wait and see if he truly understood his wrongs and corrected himself. If he really did……
Chef Yin set a target reward: “If you can really properly handle this matter, then I’ll make you seven treasured culinary delicacies.”
Ren Zhu was wandering what these seven treasured culinary delicacies were and his eyes suddenly lit up: “You must keep your promise. These dishes must be expensive.”
Chef Yin felt that Ren Zhu currently looked very pleasing to the eye. He couldn’t continue to let himself indulge in looking at him and moved his eyes away, nodding: “I’ll naturally keep my promise.” He then shifted the topic: “When are you getting discharged from the hospital?”
Ren Zhu smiled: “I can get discharged tomorrow. Fortunately with my tongue and nose, I was poisoned the lightest. Tomorrow, as long as there’s no big issues with the examination, I can simply leave.”
Yin Feng nodded his head. He thought about that board member Ma who was still unconscious and then clicked his tongue. Even if the board member became a vegetative person, it was better than him dying. Otherwise, this situation would very likely cause harm to Zhenxiu Institute’s reputation. “I have class tomorrow.”
Ren Zhu initially didn’t quite understand, and then he exclaimed: “Oh. That’s fine. I can go back myself. It’s just washing clean the stomach. It’s not like I have a broken leg. You don’t need to come and pick me up.”
Yin Feng pursed his lips. He had only said that he had classes tomorrow. He didn’t plan to come and pick him up! “Tomorrow, remember to buy ingredients. I will wait for you in my classroom at 5:30.”
After saying this, Yin Feng simply left. At this moment, this chef was perplexed by a very formidable issue — clearly, the two times when he came over, he initially felt dislike and even enmity towards Ren Zhu. However, why was it that every time when he left, he would unconsciously change his attitude, and furthermore do the things that he previously wouldn’t do?!
Driving his Benz, Chef Yin’s expression was cold and grave. He believed that his brain was’t wedged between a door and that it was very normal. The person who had problems was definitely that guy lying on the hospital bed. He was perhaps…… a fox-spirit who confuses the human heart!
And at this moment, the said fox-spirit was currently lying on the bed, thinking about how to resolve Lu Ming’s matter.
It should be mentioned that this was also the slander of his predecessor.
It wasn’t that there was no justification for Lu Ming’s gloominess. That child originally had a very happy family. His father was a chef who was ranked 98th on the star chef list. Although his ranking wasn’t high, but considering that the star chef list was effective worldwide, this immediately increased his status. He also had a beautiful mother and an older brother who was gifted in Western cuisine. As the youngest member of the family, he was pampered. However, a car accident directly shattered this family. Lu Ming’s father Lu Cheng Shan and his mother died on the spot. His older brother also broke a leg and injured both hands because of the accident.
For a chef, a broken leg was not a big issue. Even if they limped as they walked, it would still not affect them when cooking. However, a person’s hands were a different matter. Hands were simply regarded as the most valuable asset. It was said that every chef on the star chef list would buy insurance for their hands. The biggest amount was greater than ten million yuan, and might have even passed a hundred million. They didn’t know whether it was true in the end. However, just from this aspect, one could make out how important the hands were for a chef.
Lu Ming’s brother, Lu Xiao, had injured both of his hands. His left hand was crushed and fractured, while his right hand had nerve damage. This was practically equivalent to a disaster that cut short his road to becoming a chef. It directly destroyed Lu Xiao’s spirit. As for Lu Ming, in these difficult times, he shows his strong resilience and ability to adapt.
He was practically single-handedly holding up his family. Going to school, looking after his brother and handling his parents’ funeral arrangement, he simply did them all himself. After this, in order to let his previously optimistic and cheerful brother to once again pull himself together, he started to seek medical advice to let his brother have surgery. However, even if he used his winter vacation to search for the best surgeon, the specialist also expressed that even if he performed surgery on his brother’s hands, it would not be easy to rehabilitate. However, if his brother properly took care of his body, the surgery success rate would be a lot higher.
It was exactly during this period when Ren Zhu met Lu Ming. This guy who sought for nothing but personal gain then said: “If you can give me 500,000 yuan and additionally place in the top three of the grade every time, I will recommend you to Chef Song of the Health Centre.”
Consequently, this was why there was the situation in which Lu Ming brought over a food box today.
Ren Zhu got off the bed and opened the food box that Lu Ming brought over. Seeing the bank notes inside that were packed to the brim, he then deeply sighed.
“This goddamn evil bastard!” He cursed at his predecessor.
It was about time he went and visited Lu Ming’s home. He would use the money to smack Lu Xiao awake and then give him a proper lesson. Thinking of Lu Ming’s behaviour this semester, Teacher Ren felt that it was honestly quite likely for this child to turn into a poisoner. Just based on this child’s temperament and degree of misfortune, in addition to Ren Zhu’s predecessor’s actions, if this child could still be walking down the right path, then he would really have to admire his willpower.
