So, seeing that Ge Yong didn't even bother to eat and was pulling Zhang Shou to ask questions endlessly, and that several eunuchs who had taken the serving plates from the waiter downstairs were walking upstairs, neither advancing nor retreating, she finally stood up and went forward in person.
Just now, she glanced at the dishes and remembered her previous topic that overly emphasized simplicity. She felt that Zhang Shou's sudden additional topic was just right. Otherwise, if she had put a table full of cheap and delicious snacks according to her request, it would certainly earn her a good reputation, but the old gentlemen and nobles present would not think so.
So, thinking of helping Zhang Shou out of the predicament, she came to Ge Yong and said with a smile: "Grand Master Ge, the chefs downstairs have worked hard to prepare the dishes and sent them up. Do you think... "
Disliking Princess Yongping's overly gentle attitude, Zhu Ying jumped up and pressed Ge Yong's shoulder and shouted, "Grandpa Ge, today is Mingyue's, A Shou's and my birthday. Can you please give A Shou a day off? At worst, you can order him to write down all these things clearly for you within a few days!"
“How many days does it take to write all this?”
Ge Yong laughed immediately: "Xiao Yingying, do you know how complicated these things are? When Zhang Shou was explaining it to us just now, he still had to think about how to say it. It is enough to show that this involves a lot of messy things. If he really wants to write it, it will not be like the previous things. It will not be completed in ten days or half a month!" He can't finish it in a year or two!
Seeing Zhu Ying interrupting and Princess Yongping trying to persuade him, Zhang Shou quickly took the opportunity to say, "There are some things I haven't thought about yet, so I use this as a topic to stimulate discussion. This is not to embarrass the students, but to see their ideas. Of course, we need the help of the teacher and the two gentlemen. But Yingying is right, today is the imperial chef selection competition, don't turn it into a discussion meeting."
Seeing this, Qi Jingshan joked, "That's right, this is a grand gathering of chefs. Old Ge, don't let down the hard work of those chefs."
Following him, Chu Ying snorted, "Zhang Shou, you actually wasted your precious time on eating, and you never hide the fact that you are a foodie. Your talent is totally wasted! You accepted so many students last year, but now none of them are staying in Jiuzhang Hall. You have sent them all to do odd jobs everywhere. What the hell!"
Ge Yong could scold Zhang Shou himself, but he could never criticize others, so he immediately forgot the topic they were arguing about and slammed the table.
"Didn't you say before that I was a full man who didn't know the hunger of a hungry man? I see you are talking without any worries now! Most of the students in Jiuzhang Hall are poor students. If they don't have a proper job, who will support them in the future? You? If you pat your chest now, I will send all of my people to your home for you to support!"
