Chapter 313: The Delusional King of the Entertainment Industry 15

Lu Che nodded slightly.

Before long, the middle-aged man carried the ingredients into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Bai Rui couldn’t help feeling a little puzzled.

Her family was in the catering business, so she naturally knew something about the famous chefs in the industry. If she remembered correctly, that middle-aged man was Wang Chuan, a fairly renowned master of Zhejiang cuisine.

Why had Lu Che invited him directly to his home?

……

At this time, Lu Che’s manager sat down and sighed.

“I went to so much trouble to get Master Wang here. If his cooking still doesn’t suit your taste, I really won’t know what to do.”

Originally, he had been envious of Lu Che for having a tongue naturally suited to becoming a gourmet.

But after learning that Lu Che couldn’t eat properly precisely because his taste buds were too sensitive, he wasn’t envious at all anymore.

Lu Che nodded faintly.

Bai Rui, however, tilted her head and looked at Lu Che.

It doesn’t suit his taste?

Is Lu Che extremely picky about food?

……

Half an hour later, several dishes were served.

“Come, have a taste. These are a few of my specialties,” Wang Chuan said to Lu Che with a smile.

Although the manager had told him that Lu Che had exceptionally sensitive taste buds, Wang Chuan was still very confident in his signature dishes.

Lu Che nodded.

The next moment, he picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of West Lake vinegar fish.

As soon as the fish entered his mouth, Lu Che almost immediately determined the method Wang Chuan had used to prepare it.

Then he put down his chopsticks.

“There’s a little too much soy sauce in the sauce. It covers up the freshness of the fish.”

Hearing this, Wang Chuan’s expression turned unpleasant.

His West Lake vinegar fish was renowned. How could he possibly have used too much soy sauce?

Could Lu Che be deliberately picking faults with him?

If Lu Che hadn’t offered a high enough price this time, he wouldn’t have come all the way here to cook for him personally.

……

Lu Che proceeded to comment on each of the other dishes as well, and he wasn’t particularly satisfied with any of them.

After hearing his evaluations, Wang Chuan finally couldn’t hold back his anger.

“Every food critic who’s tried my West Lake vinegar fish has praised it, yet you keep picking at everything! Could your tongue really be more discerning than those food critics? If you don’t want to eat, then don’t! I’m not taking this job anymore. I can’t serve someone like you!”

With that, he stormed out.

Seeing this, the manager hurried after him to apologize.

Lu Che, meanwhile, expressionlessly put down his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Bai Rui couldn’t help walking over and rubbing herself against his leg.

A short while later, the manager returned.

“Lu Che, seriously. Even if you weren’t satisfied, you didn’t have to say it to his face!”

After saying this, he picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of fish into his mouth. Then he narrowed his eyes.

“This fish is really delicious. It practically melts in your mouth.”

Hearing this, Lu Che glanced at him.

“That’s why you’re getting fatter and fatter.”

At these words, the manager’s hand holding the chopsticks froze.

“You can’t make personal attacks like that! Isn’t it because I’m afraid of wasting food? Who told you not to eat it? I really don’t know how your tongue works.”

Bai Rui finally understood what was going on.

So Lu Che’s taste buds were simply too sensitive, and he usually couldn’t even eat properly?

For a moment, Bai Rui couldn’t help feeling heartbroken for him.

No wonder he’s always so thin. It turns out he hasn’t been eating properly!

……

While Lu Che was struggling even to eat a proper meal, Tang Wan and Li Qing were currently feasting at a restaurant.

The two of them had previously been tightening their belts to save on rent. Now that Tang Wan had suddenly become famous overnight, there was naturally no longer any need to worry about the rent.

Thinking about how they hadn’t been able to eat much meat for more than half a year, Li Qing immediately took Tang Wan out for a good meal after signing two productions that morning.

As for Tang Wan’s figure?

To hell with it!

Eat until we’re full first!
