When Melina said this, the old chef Liu Yishou asked Cheng Xiaofan in surprise, "Mr. Cheng, Miss Mary told me you are a divine doctor. I didn't expect you to be a chef too!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "My being a chef is entirely due to my gluttonous nature since childhood. When it comes to food, I like to make it myself."
"Perhaps it's practice makes perfect. Over time, I've learned some cooking methods and can make some dishes that earn praise!"
Liu Yishou chuckled, "Mr. Cheng, you are too humble. From just smelling the aroma and identifying the Ten-Great Nourishing Soup earlier, I knew you held a certain status in the culinary world!"
"Chinatown holds a Chinese culinary competition every five years. Participants are Chinese chefs from all over the world. The winner gains immense fame, Mr. Cheng, you mustn't miss it!"
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and really wanted Tang Guoxing to come and participate.
But!
The competition was scheduled for tomorrow, so it was too late to have him come over.
Cheng Xiaofan truly did not want to miss this opportunity, as it was a good chance to promote the food products of Zhuxi Village.
Currently, the village committee company group of Zhuxi Village, with the efforts of his own Bai Nv Shen, had launched a series of local specialty food products.
For example, drunken chicken, honey steamed cakes, roasted osmanthus fish, hand-torn immortal fish, casual meatballs, glutinous rice lobster meat, and so on.
These food items were vacuum-sealed and had a shelf life of at least six months.
Most importantly, these specialty delicacies could be eaten directly from the bag, and their freshness was no less than that of freshly prepared dishes. They could be enjoyed as snacks or as part of a meal.
Furthermore, each of these developed delicacies contained a certain amount of spiritual energy, making them truly unique and impossible to replicate anywhere.
Even if someone tried to counterfeit them, customers would immediately taste the vast difference!
As soon as Liu Yishou finished speaking, Cheng Xiaofan immediately said, "Alright, I'll head to Chinatown tomorrow to take a look. If it's convenient, I'll casually take home the championship!"
Judging by his tone, it was clear that if he participated in the Chinatown chef competition, the championship would be his.
Melina was immediately overjoyed and said, "Darling, I believe you will definitely win this competition."
She had tasted Chinese dishes made by Cheng Xiaofan a few days ago and was naturally confident in him.
At the same time, what made Melina happiest was that with this opportunity, she could finally be with Cheng Xiaofan tonight.
Liu Yishou chuckled, "Mr. Cheng, this competition has an age limit, restricted to between twenty and forty years old. This is intended to introduce the younger generation of chefs!"
"As far as I know, this competition has also invited the venerable Mr. Liu Tingshu, a prominent figure in the Chinese culinary world, who will be on the judging panel!"
"At the same time, Mr. Miller, a famous pro-China figure in the United States and one of the Chinese food connoisseurs, has agreed to attend and judge tomorrow."
"With both of them present, the value of this grand competition is quite high!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "If I participate, it would be best if Mr. Liu Tingshu and Mr. Miller could recuse themselves from judging!"
Liu Yishou asked in surprise, "Why?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Liu Tingshu once suffered from anorexia. A dish of mine cured his illness. Now, we've become sworn friends!"
"Ah, so it was you who cured Elder Liu's anorexia with your food!"
Liu Yishou slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Mr. Cheng, I understand. Your name is Cheng Xiaofan. I've heard about this for a long time and have always wanted to meet this culinary divine doctor when I had the chance!"
"I never expected to meet you here, my name is Liu!"
Having said that, he bowed deeply to Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Master Liu, you showing such great respect to a junior like me is too much. Actually, curing Liu Tingshu's anorexia with food was just a coincidence!"
Liu Yishou replied, "Even coincidence requires skill."
"Mr. Cheng, what is your relationship with this Mr. Miller you mentioned?"
Before Cheng Xiaofan could explain, Melina quickly hugged his arm with both hands and said with a radiant smile, "Mr. Miller is my father. Cheng Xiaofan is my close boyfriend. What relationship do you think he has with my father?"
"This..." Liu Yishou was instantly speechless.
This Mr. Cheng was truly remarkable, having captured the daughter of a pillar of the US Congress.
Wait!
Something felt off!
He seemed to recall that the young man who saved Elder Liu already had a girlfriend.
It was said that if it weren't for Cheng Xiaofan already having a girlfriend, Elder Liu would have wanted to marry his own precious granddaughter to him from the provincial capital.
However!
For someone as capable as Cheng Xiaofan, having one girlfriend domestically and three or four mistresses abroad didn't seem to be a big deal.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but cup his hands towards Melina and said, "My dear lady, it's my fault for being blind. I never expected you to be Mr. Miller's daughter!"
Mary smiled and said, "Melina and I are good friends. She has always been low-key and dislikes revealing that she is Mr. Miller's daughter in front of outsiders."
"If it weren't for Mr. Cheng today, she wouldn't have easily revealed her identity."
She then introduced Liu Yishou, "Melina majors in physics and is quite renowned in the scientific community. Not long ago, she was invited to China to attend a conference where she met Mr. Cheng."
"It can be said that they fell in love at first sight and are a match made in heaven!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan almost cried out in injustice.
Damn it!
When did I fall in love with Melina at first sight?
When making up a story, at least there should be some basis in fact!
If this reached the ears of his Bai Nv Shen back home, he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
"Hahaha..."
Unexpectedly, Liu Yishou seized the opportunity and said, "Miss Mary is right. When I first saw Mr. Cheng and Miss Melina, they truly had a husband-and-wife look!"
Cheng Xiaofan was speechless!
How did this old fellow bring up a husband-and-wife look?
"Master Liu, you say that Melina and I have a husband-and-wife look. From what aspect do you see it?" Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but retort.
"This..."
Liu Yishou, living up to his experience, immediately replied, "I'm looking at it from the perspective of quantum entanglement. For example, your meeting with Miss Melina in China and falling in love at first sight, this indicates that it was already destined."
"Don't talk about results or causes. In short, quantum entanglement is a very profound field of study. It encompasses the relationships between people, all of which are entangled, leading to a result for you."
"And within this result, destiny has already revealed your marital bond!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan's mind was a muddle.
Can the theory of quantum entanglement be explained like this?
