My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1211 - 1217 Very Proud

So the next day, Mr. Gao stepped out of his house, beaming with joy, having arrived half an hour earlier than the time he had agreed with Duo’er.

"Mr. Gao, please wait a moment, I’ll serve you some tea."

Ji Xiang greeted him politely.

"No need for these formalities, just hurry up and bring out that girl. I’m in a rush to get to the kitchen."

Mr. Gao waved his hand, a hint of impatience on his face.

Ji Xiang nodded, "I’ll go and get Madam right away."

As for Mr. Gao’s reaction, she didn’t find it strange at all. If he acted like a normal person, would he have gotten the nickname Gao Dian?

Soon, Qiao Duo’er came downstairs, holding a stack of papers in her hand.

"Here are the recipes for eight dishes. That’s all I can help you with, can Chef Gao manage the rest?"

Qiao Duo’er’s raised eyebrows carried a hint of provocation; it was clearly a challenge.

Typically, Mr. Gao fell for this tactic, and after flipping through them briefly, he said, "Are you looking down on me? Just you wait, I’ll have them ready by tonight!"

The recipes on the paper were vague, but they were not too difficult for him.

"Then I’ll look forward to it." Qiao Duo’er smiled slightly, feeling as if she had found a treasure.

Ji Xiang still couldn’t believe it: "I’ve heard that Mr. Gao is hard to please, but to me, he seems quite easy-going."

He didn’t put on any airs at all, nor did he order people around.

"That’s called appealing to his interests." Qiao Duo’er was quite proud.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a gourmet dish in Chinese cuisine involving ingredients like dried scallops, abalone, sea cucumber, tendons, shiitake mushrooms, among others, each ingredient prepared separately and then slow-cooked in broth and yellow wine, making the process quite intricate.

If it weren’t for Mr. Gao, she wouldn’t want to go through all this trouble.

In the evening, a table of people sat in a private room having already gone through two pots of tea, yet there was no sign of any dishes being served.

Lu Kejun couldn’t help but complain, "Duo’er, is this wild chef you hired up to the task? Should I talk to my father and have him arrange a couple of Imperial Chefs for you?"

Those who could work in the Imperial Kitchen were no ordinary folks, skilled and varied, definitely able to meet Duo’er’s expectations.

"You couldn’t even handle it, Imperial Chefs would just be adequate to assist me." Mr. Gao was very annoyed.

It was the first time he had seen someone so disrespectful towards him.

Lu Kejun snorted, "I thought you knew how picky this miss is, scared you’re hiding in the kitchen, not daring to come out."

"Can’t be bothered to argue with you."

Mr. Gao signaled to the waiter behind him to bring the dishes out, some of which needed to be eaten hot, or else they would lose their flavor.

After tasting a bite, Lu Kejun felt humbled today because the food was indeed very good.

"Just a bit worse than the Imperial Chef." Lu Kejun felt he must stubbornly stick to his guns.

After all, the Imperial Chef stayed in the Palace, and nobody else knew.

Mr. Gao rolled his eyes, "Then don’t eat!"

Who complains about the food and still eats it voraciously?

It was clear who was lying!

Lu Kejun stuffed another piece of meat into her mouth, "I will eat, just to spite you!"

"Mom, it tastes even better than yours!" Tangyuan gave a thumbs up.

"Kids know how to talk sweet. I’ll go cook a couple more dishes."

Mr. Gao, like a peacock spreading its feathers, threw a defiant look at Lu Kejun before leaving.

"Vengeful old geezer, careful I might poison you!"

Qiao Duo’er quickly intervened, "I’m counting on him to make money. If you kill him, I won’t be able to afford your dowry later."

"Then forget it."

Lu Kejun decided to be magnanimous this time; otherwise, without a dowry, her own daughter would be the one to suffer.
