Shi Yaoguang thought for a moment, then shook her head denying, "No, I was just joking with Brother Li."
As she spoke, she jokingly added, "After all these years since the founding of the country, how can there still be an Imperial Chef?"
Upon reflection, the elders agreed with her logic and didn't ponder any further.
But as for Li Yebai...
Initially, when Shi Yaoguang mentioned it herself, he didn't think anything of it.
Now that she had denied it, Li Yebai began to feel that her culinary skills were extraordinary.
Shi Yaoguang had no intention of arguing with him about whether her cooking was good or not.
After finishing with the Phoenix in her hands, she wrapped it in cling film, said goodbye to the elders, and left.
Once outside the small shop, Li Yebai couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up.
"Not bad at all, Yaoguang. Brother has truly not misjudged you!"
Shi Yaoguang tilted her head, "What do you mean by that, Brother Li?"
