Uncle Hua caught on, too. After the teens left, he headed back to the kitchen to whip up another dish, then served it personally as a token of gratitude.
He stood by the side of the table and made to bow, but Li Du held him up and said, "Uncle Hua, there's no need for the formalities. Actually, I need your help with something. Here's the thing: I'm planning to get married in a while but I haven't found a wedding caterer yet."
Uncle Hua understood what Li Du was trying to get at. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Boss Li, I don't think I'm good enough for that."
Li Du responded, "There's absolutely no need for you to be modest. I've tried these dishes and they're great. The dishes you would have to prepare will be for foreigners and I'm certain there's no better candidate than you."
Old Hua was relieved after hearing what Li Du said. "Alright, since the boss thinks I can do it, I'll stop saying otherwise."
