Little Jing wasn't able to wait for the ice cream because the Elder Princess wanted to know the conclusion of his discussion with Xia Chunyu and got someone to call him back.
The next day at work, the entire Heavenly Residence was buzzing when Ye Jiayao showed the token she received yesterday.
The staff was amazed that Li Yao has already achieved so much and he has even yet to join the culinary competition. Being a chef of the imperial kitchen, especially for someone so young and new, was not an easy feat. The only way to even qualify there was ranking high in the culinary competition. Even the low-level helpers would still need to pass the imperial kitchen's strict and rigorous test and would have to wait about 10 years to match with an imperial chef.
Everyone knew that Brother Yao was very skillful but the speed of his rise was a little scary. He practically did it overnight!
