"No problem. It's good that you came early today. I will have enough time to introduce her to the basics. Are you going to stay as I teach her?" The Japanese chef asked He Haotian.
"Nah, I'll leave her here. Meina asked me to buy her some souvenirs. I'll pick her up by afternoon so her husband wouldn't worry about her whereabouts," the man replied as he stood up and removed the lint on his coat. "Will you be fine, Xin'er?"
"I'm a big girl now, Uncle. Now, shoo…" Lu Xinyi waved her hand, gesturing her mentor to go. "Also, don't forget to buy me some sweets on your way, Uncle!" she called out just before the man disappeared from her sight.
Turning to the foreign chef, Lu Xinyi beamed a smile.
"Chef, let's start. Shall we?"
