On the same day, Orlens stayed and chose to sleep in Zheng Ke's bedroom.

Orlens was not on a whim, but before the exam, he lived with Zheng Ke and concentrated on guiding Zheng Ke, which made Zheng Ke very moved.

At first, Zheng Ke just wanted Orlens to give him a little guidance, at most every day to guide or do auxiliary training. didn't expect Orlens to choose to live with him so simply.

"Thank you so much. ”

Zheng Ke didn't know how many times he thanked him, but he still felt that it was still not enough.

Let a former three-star chef guide him wholeheartedly, this kind of treatment is really not something that can be enjoyed by any person.

Although on the surface, Zheng Ke can ask about the content related to the cooking performance whether Orlens will go back or not, Zheng Ke knows that the meaning between the two is completely different.

Living together meant that Zheng Ke could ask Orlens as much as he could about cooking, even how he would open a restaurant after graduation, rather than simply asking about cooking performances — if he wanted to learn more about the experience, he had to have enough communication. If the two of them didn't live together, Zheng Ke wouldn't have had these opportunities.

"Nothing, I just want to see how far you can go. And, perhaps, I can get some answers from you. Orlens sat across from Zheng Ke and said softly.

"What's the answer?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.

"Your Chinese cuisine is excellent, and I agree with your cuisine. But to my surprise, your Western cuisine has also improved very quickly, and I wonder if there is anyone who can make Chinese cuisine and French cuisine reach the same level, and you may be the most promising person I know to do so. ”

Zheng Ke smiled lightly, he had thought about what Orlens said, but because he hadn't done it yet, he didn't explain it.

"It's just a pity that you're in France...... Such a good Chinese dish is really wasted. Orlens sighed.

"There will be no waste. ”

Zheng Ke knew the meaning of Orens's words, but this was also one of the reasons why he chose Lanji in the first place, one day in the future, he must open a star-rated restaurant of Chinese cuisine in Paris, so that Paris, and even foreigners who come to Paris for tourism, can also taste authentic Chinese cuisine.

"Won't it be wasted?" Orlens was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zheng Ke in surprise, "You don't want to say that you want to open a Huaxia restaurant in Paris, or do you want to go back to Huaxia?"

"Teacher, if I want to go back to Huaxia, I will go to the East. Zheng Ke shook his head slightly, and said in a firm tone, "Although it's not now, I still want to wait until I have enough strength to open a Chinese restaurant in Paris." ”

"Samsung's?"

At first, Orlens thought he had misheard, but after figuring out the logic, he vaguely guessed Zheng Ke's thoughts.

"Isn't it every chef's dream to have a three-star restaurant?" said Zheng Ke with a smile.

"Huh, really?" Orlens blinked, paused for four or five seconds, and then laughed again, "Okay...... Good...... If you don't even have a dream, what kind of young person is you?"

Zheng Ke scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "Am I a little arrogant?"

"Of course not, I also want to see what a three-star Chinese restaurant in Paris will look like. It's really interesting to think about it. Orlens narrowed his eyes.

Zheng Ke shook his head helplessly.

Hearing Orlens say this, Zheng Ke still felt a lot of pressure.

"Okay, I made a decision!"

After pondering for half a minute, Orlens suddenly spoke, and the defenseless Zheng Ke was taken aback.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

Orlens chuckled and looked at Zheng Ke, "I decided that if you can achieve a satisfactory result, I will consider helping you run the restaurant." ”

"Huh?" Zheng Ke looked at the smile on Orens' face, thinking that he had misheard, "Wait, teacher, are you mistaken?"

"Of course not, you don't want to open a three-star restaurant in Paris?" asked Orens.

Zheng Ke nodded, "That's right." ”

"Listen, if you can meet all four conditions I said at the same time, I can give up my job at Lanji and help you run the restaurant for a while until you find a suitable successor. ”

Zheng Ke became interested, and hurriedly asked, "What conditions?" ”

"The first condition is that I will only consider helping you after five years after you officially run the restaurant. Because the chef is too young to be stable, I have to wait for you to calm down. The second condition is that you have at least one three-star western restaurant, which represents your culinary potential. Moreover, since you chose Lanji, you also have this idea, right?"

"Hmm. Zheng Ke agreed with Orens' statement.

"Third, if you want to have a star Chinese restaurant, I have to see your persistence in Huaxia cuisine and let me see your hope of achieving your goals. Fourth, all of this has to be done in 10 years, and I don't want to wait endlessly. ”

Orens' conditions are not harsh. If Zheng Ke couldn't do this, there would be no need for him to stay in Paris anymore.

But—

"Teacher, I want to know the reason - why are you helping me?" asked Zheng Ke.

He couldn't understand why Orlens had made this decision.

"You know what I've been through, right?" Orlens asked.

Zheng Ke nodded, saying that it was definitely a lie not to know, but that kind of experience, no matter who it was, would not make people want to recall.

"I still remember my experience as a three-star chef vividly. After that, I was disheartened, and I spent a few years in Lanji and taught several good students, but I have to admit that you and Catherine are the two most talented students I have ever taught. Seeing you fighting the field, the blood in my body also boiled. It's just that compared to the beginning, only my experience has been retained, but my cooking skills have dropped a lot, and at least let me be the head chef of a three-star restaurant, which may be more than enough.

"But any chef's dream, their dream is to own a three-star restaurant. Even now, I still have such a dream - if you can open a star-rated Chinese restaurant, I may also have the confidence to open a restaurant again. Even if I help you for a few years, I still have time to chase my dreams. You just think this is the last wish of an old man, right?"

Although Orlens could open a restaurant right now, there was still a strong resistance to that experience, which made him unable to make a decision.

"What, teacher, you're still young!" Zheng Ke looked at Orlens in front of him, probably about forty years old.

"What if I go 10 years from now? I'll be 52 years old, and the chances of becoming a three-star chef are slim, but I think the success rate is even greater than opening a Chinese restaurant in Paris. A smile crossed Orens' face.

"Teacher, since you say so, I will definitely open a three-star restaurant within ten years, and let a Chinese restaurant be recognized by Paris - at least a star restaurant. Zheng Ke said in a resolute tone.

"Hope your dreams come true. Orlens bowed slightly, his eyes narrowed.
