I Am A Gourmet: Just Eight And You Want Me To Start A Roadside Stall? - Chapter 130
Chapter 130 Yang Chun Noodles
“How can that be!”
Xu Le and Lu Yuxi, who were on both ends of the call, were at a loss at the same time.
Lu Yuxi hurriedly took a tissue to wipe the tears off Xu Tian’s face and laughed.
“Don’t think too much…”
Xu Le, who was on the other end of the call, sighed helplessly.
He frowned and tried to comfort his sister.
“Tiantian, don’t be afraid.
Dad and Mom have just gone to study.
It’s the same as you going to kindergarten.
They’ll be back after some time.
”
Xu Tian’s eyes were red from crying.
There were beads of water on her long eyelashes and mist in her grape-like eyes.
She asked softly, “Brother, really?”
“MMhmm.
”
“Of course it’s true! When has your brother ever lied to you?” Lu Yuxi immediately chimed in.
After coaxing Xu Tian to calm down, she reached out to hang up the phone and said, “Come back and take care of Tiantian after your filming.
She hasn’t been in a good mood recently and misses her parents.
”
“Alright, got it.
” After hanging up the phone, Xu Le was still frowning.
He leaned against the seat and looked at the night scenery outside.
Smelling the perfume in the car, he thought, “It’s really Alex’s style of perfume.
” “What’s wrong? Who called you?”
Alex suddenly turned around and asked.
Xu Le glanced at the words on his phone screen and guessed that it was the interview contents.
He said, “My sister, it’s nothing serious.
She just misses me and wants me to go back quickly.
”
.
.
.
“Oh, that’s pretty good.
”
Alex looked up again and said with envy, “Your parents are both chefs and went to France to further their studies.
Will your sister follow the same path in the future?”
“Ah, she’s still in kindergarten.
Who knows what will happen in the future?”
Xu Le answered casually.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the headquarters of ‘KL’.
When he looked up, the huge signboard showed the exaggerated expressions of two artists.
The interpreter took a look and explained in a low voice, “It’s a scandalous news.
It seems to be an affair scandal.
KL has always been like this.
It only cares about viewership and not their reputation.
Be careful later.
Don’t let them dig a trap for you.

“Sure.
”
Xu Le looked at the back view of Alex and was brought to the interview room by the staff.
A quarrel broke out outside, and Alex’s voice was especially loud.
However, Xu Le could not understand any of the Thai language that they were using
“What are they arguing about?”
“I think it’s because they brought you here without notice, so the questions and procedures of the interview have not been sorted out yet.
”
The moment the interpreter finished speaking, a smiling staff member walked in and said in fluent Chinese, “Sorry to keep you waiting.
”
Then, he looked at Xu Le and was slightly stunned.
He said in surprise, “You’re so young? Wow! It can’t be real!”
Xu Le replied calmly, “Since I’m sitting here, of course it’s real.
”
The next question he asked was about how Xu Le had become a chef and his opinion of his title as a culinary genius.
Although he looked like a nine-year-old child, his thinking was meticulous and his answers were flawless, perfectly avoiding the traps they dug.
After all the questions were answered, Xu Le heaved a sigh of relief.
The translator sitting beside him finally relaxed.
When the staff member left, she could not help but say, “They did not make things difficult for you.
Is it because you are a child?”.
Xu Le gave her a puzzled look.
The interpreter lowered her voice and said, “KL likes to create controversial and eye-catching topics.
Sometimes, it can even cause public controversy.
It seems that the editor-in-chief is taking good care of you.
”
“Alex?” Xu Le stood up and stretched his legs.
“Then I really have to thank him.
”
After the interview, the staff members who had stayed behind at KL headquarters finally got off work.
The entire floor was brightly lit, and a few women were sitting at the computer desks eating instant noodles and chatting.
Xu Le couldn’t understand what they were talking about, but he didn’t think it was anything good, because the translator’s expression darkened.
“What’s wrong?” “They said that you might be putting on a show.
You pulled strings to join the programme to increase your reputation.
You’re too young and definitely don’t know how to cook… Tsk, they’re too short-sighted.
” The translator complained angrily.
At this moment, Alex, who was carrying a cup of instant noodles, walked over.
He smiled happily and said, “It’s quite late.
You must be tired.
Do you want to go back or should I book a hotel for you?”
“You’re a boss, yet is that all you eat?”
“Hahaha.
” Alex produced a self-mocking laugh.
“You think too highly of me.
I’m just an employee.
I can’t wait any longer for takeout, so I’ll just make do with a bite.
”
He was the best at observing people’s expressions.
When he saw Xu Le raise his eyebrows, he immediately went along with the flow and said, “There’s a small kitchen in the company, but everyone has basically never used anything except the microwave.
I don’t know if there are any ingredients, why don’t we trouble the little Master Chef to cook something?”
“Sure.
”
Xu Le agreed readily.
They took the elevator to a rest area on the 13th floor.
They walked further in and saw a very small L-shaped kitchen through the black invisible door.
Fortunately, the kitchen was well-equipped with cooking utensils.
There was a refrigerator, oven, and other basic equipment beside it.
Xu Le looked around and felt a little disappointed.
Apart from a bag of unopened noodles in the drawer, there was not a single piece of fresh vegetables.
As the saying goes, a skilled wife cannot cook without rice.
He scratched his earlobe and looked troubled.
This was completely within Alex’s expectations.
He felt quite helpless that he couldn’t eat the food cooked by a top-notch chef.
He shrugged and said, “See, I told you that they don’t use anything except the microwave.
No one prepared any ingredients…”
“I found these two ingredients.
” Xu Le opened a bag of dried prawn and found a jar containing lard.
He said, “It’s enough.
There are also condiments that can be used.
Can you count the number of people? I can prepare supper for all of them.
”
Alex took a bite of the instant noodles and asked in surprise, “You’re going to prepare something with just these?”
Won’t it look too pathetic? What if the workers laugh at you?
However, he didn’t finish the second half of his sentence.
Instead, he said gently, “What can these three things be used to make?”
“Yang Chun noodles.
”
Xu Le rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands.
“Yang Chun noodles is also called bald noodles.
It means that there are no side ingredients in the dish.
”
