Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 506: Chapter 507 Li Fugui, Let’s Open a Restaurant Together Li Fugui was also fascinated with cooking and, when his skills were questioned, he didn’t say a word before picking up the remaining ingredients Chu Lian had brought and began to remake the dish ’Wealth Fills the Hall.’

Although he had never made this dish before, he had tasted it, and he didn’t know why, but when he hadn’t been focused on cooking before, he hadn’t paid much attention. Recently, as he started delving into cooking, he discovered that he could discern the precise cooking time and the exact amount of ingredients used in a dish.

This made cooking much easier for him, and that’s why he was able to prepare a decent meal for everyone in such a short time.

Li Fugui’s skilled movements shocked Chu Lian once again. Could he actually make ’Wealth Fills the Hall’?

”Have you made this dish before?” Chu Lian asked, puzzled.

”I haven’t.”

”...” If he hadn’t made it before, then what was with those practiced movements?

Moments later, Li Fugui’s ’Wealth Fills the Hall’ was ready, and everyone eagerly grabbed spoons, impatient to taste Li Fugui’s version of the dish.

Wang Xiangxiang spoke excitedly, ”This is the taste, Li Fugui, you’re amazing.”

Hearing Wang Xiangxiang’s words, Chu Lian clenched his fists. He just lost like this, and he found it hard to believe. So, he picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful, and the moment it hit his mouth, he admitted he was completely defeated.

It turned out that being a chef wasn’t so easy after all, and talent was very important. He was utterly convinced.

Xiaoxiao was also astonished by Li Fugui’s culinary skills. She never expected that Li Fugui, who used to be incapable of anything, could be so talented in cooking. When he first said he wanted to become a chef, she had laughed at him.

Now, it seemed that the one who should have been laughed at was herself. He could be a rough diamond, simply yet to be discovered by someone.

Merchant’s eyes are always unique, and Chu Lian’s gaze now carried an additional layer of calculation, ”Li Fugui, how did you know what was lacking in my dish?”

”I don’t know, I just probably know after tasting it.”

”What if you were given a new dish, could you tell the ingredients just by tasting?”

”As long as I have tasted the ingredients before, I probably could.”

Li Fugui’s answer left everyone present in awe. Was Li Fugui’s tongue even human? How could it be so extraordinary, capable of discerning the ingredients in a dish?

Wang Xiangxiang said excitedly, ”Li Fugui, your talent is wasted here. Let’s partner up and start our own restaurant and beat Dongfeng or Yuelai Restaurants.”

It had to be said, Wang Xiangxiang was also astute. She recognized Li Fugui’s potential, and she knew that if she started a restaurant with him, it would surely be a success. Moreover, her goal was to beat Dongfeng Restaurant, which was something Li Fugui had probably dreamed of defeating.

Upon hearing this, Chu Lian was once again unsettled. How did this willful woman manage to be involved in everything? She was a fabric seller, what did she have to do with their venture?

Wang Xiangxiang continued to probe, ”Li Fugui, what do you think about my proposal?”

Li Fugui hesitated. Starting a restaurant was great, but that would mean he could only stay in this County, and he wouldn’t be able to go out and search for Xiaotian.

Although defeating Dongfeng Restaurant was his long-cherished dream, when compared to finding Xiaotian, he still hoped to locate Xiaotian more.

Seeing Li Fugui not answering, as if he was struggling with the decision, the astute Wang Xiangxiang could guess what he was worried about. So, she spoke up, ”Li Fugui, let’s open the restaurant in another County. Now you should agree, right, huh?”
