Yi Lianfan recalled how he felt the soup could be smoother when he had sampled it earlier. She was spot on that he had added too many lotus seeds.
"I will take note," replied Yi Lianfan.
Huo Yao nodded her head. She glanced at the dishes on the table and asked him. "Were you the one who made all these dishes?"
"Uh huh. How did they taste?" asked Yi Lianfan again.
Huo Yao gave him a thumbs up. "You are a talented chef."
Even though these were common dishes and the amount of herbs required were already standardized, each chef's cooking tasted different. Yi Lianfan's food had a great texture.
Huo Xiang pursed his lips sulkily. What talent? Was it not just cooking?
He conveniently forgot that he had found them to be delicious when he ate them earlier.
Yi Lianfan looked proud as usual. Among his generation in his clan, he was already the most talented chef, so he was naturally pleased to hear Huo Yao's comments.
