Episode 248 Conversation
Jieli didn't expect it at all, she thought that she couldn't eat the "grilled lamb chops with garlic and red wine basil sauce" in front of her, but when the plate in front of her was empty, she came to her senses, it turned out that she had eaten a whole plate, and she still had a feeling of unfinished.
The young chef ...... That's amazing......
Jieli looked up at Zheng Ke in front of the table, and was surprised in her heart.
"You've stabilized in Lanji now, right?" Luo Meng picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth gently, looking at Zheng Ke in front of him with a chuckle on his face.
Zheng Ke bowed slightly, "Fortunately, after a few months of study, there should be an acceptable position among the eight people now, right?"
After all, in the second exam, I only took the fourth place...... However, in the end, when you get your graduation certificate, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Zheng Ke thought silently.
"Do you have confidence in graduating from Blue Academy?" asked Romon curiously.
"Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be pointless for me to come to Paris from Japan?" Zheng Ke asked rhetorically.
"yes. The corners of Romong's mouth turned up, "Or, let's talk about one thing." β
"What's the matter?" Zheng Ke looked at Luo Meng in confusion, not knowing what Luo Meng was thinking.
"Do you have anything else to do now?" Romon asked.
"Now, you're the last guest, and I'll be ready for tomorrow's dish later. Zheng Ke said casually.
"That's right...... Can you spare an hour...... No, half an hour? I have something to talk to you about alone. Romon said.
"And me?" Zheng Ke frowned and looked at Luo Meng in confusion, he didn't know what Luo Meng would do if he looked for him.
"Don't worry, it's just a few casual words. Romon chuckled.
Zheng Ke is not a fool, in order to talk a few words, does he need to go to such great lengths?
But if Zheng Ke didn't sit down and talk to Luo Meng, he wouldn't know his thoughts.
"Where are you talking?" Zheng Ke asked rhetorically.
"We went out for a cup of tea. Romon said seriously.
"That'...... Wait for me a little bit, I'll go change my clothes. β
"No problem. β
Zheng Ke returned to the lounge, changed his clothes after taking a shower, and walked out of the restaurant, only to find that Jieli had left, leaving Romon alone in the previous seat.
"Okay?"
"Hmm. Zheng Ke nodded, "What about Madame?"
He went back first. Romon got up from his seat, "I know there's a nice teahouse nearby, shall we go over first?"
Zheng Ke said hello to Absolon, and followed Luo Meng out of the "Land of Tranquility".
The teahouse that Luo Meng said, Zheng Ke also knows. It's called "Spring Tea Garden", and in the nearby area, it is a slightly more high-grade teahouse. But it still can't be compared to those places in the city center.
The two of them found a private room, each ordered a pot of tea and desserts, and after the waiter brought the refreshments, Zheng Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, Mr. Romone, may I ask you what's the matter?"
Romon poured a cup of tea and took a sip gently, "You came to France from Japan, are you still used to life?"
Zheng Ke nodded slightly, "Fortunately, although there are some differences, I am a student, and these difficulties can still be overcome." β
"Oh, you didn't just come to Paris to be a student of Lanji, right?" asked Romon rhetorically.
Zheng Ke frowned slightly, not quite understanding the meaning of Luo Meng's words.
"Here's my guess, it may not be quite right, if there is any offense, please forgive me. Romon said softly.
Zheng Ke nodded slightly, he wanted to know what Luo Meng had seen.
"Although Lanji is very famous internationally, it is not the best choice for you, first of all, you are not French or European, and the best cuisine is not Western food, so it is not wise for you to deliberately come from Japan. Compared to the blue horizon, the east and the far moon are more suitable for you. After all, the dish you are good at is Chinese cuisine, which is in line with the Oriental Academy, and you studied in Yuanyue for the past two years, and you should already have a certain reputation in Japan, from this aspect, Yuanyue is also a good choice.
"But you gave up on these two best choices in favor of Lanji, and in recent months, you have made great strides in Western cuisine. There can only be one explanation for a person who is good at Chinese cuisine to learn French cuisine and gain something, that you want to stay in France, or even in Paris. I'm not bad at reasoning, right?"
Zheng Ke picked up the teacup and took a sip of water gently. He really didn't expect that Romon would think so much.
However, Zheng Ke also agreed with Luo Meng's analysis, there is always a reason why he does so many illogical things. If you think about it, you'll get the ideal answer.
"Yes, but Mr. Luo Meng, why do you care so much about my business?" Zheng Ke looked at Luo Meng in confusion.
Luo Meng's old face flushed, and after thinking carefully about Zheng Ke, he began to look for a way to persuade Zheng Ke, so he understood the general situation of Zheng Ke in the recent period.
Luo Meng can only know these things by himself, and if Zheng Ke is allowed to peek into his mind, it will backfire.
"Ahem, let's fall in love. Moreover, we have a good relationship. Romon said with a shy face.
Zheng Ke nodded slightly, this is true, especially before the qualifying round, he didn't spend less money on his own dishes.
"As a senior, I feel that there are some things that I still need to remind you. Romon suddenly said.
Zheng Ke also sat up straight and looked at Luo Meng intently.
"Now that you've come to Paris, your goal should be to open a star-studded restaurant in Paris, right?" asked RomΓ³n.
Zheng Ke did not deny it.
If you come to Paris and don't want to open a star-rated restaurant, it's really no different from salted fish.
Wait a minute......
Zheng Ke suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, Mr. Romon ......" Zheng Ke interrupted Romong.
"Huh?" Luo Meng looked at Zheng Ke puzzled.
"You don't want me to sign up for your training class, do you? I don't have that much money!" Zheng Ke shook his head again and again.
Hundreds of thousands of euros are also a lot of burden for him.
At present, he has no capital, and at the same time, he does not want to go to any training courses.
"Huh?"
Luo Meng blinked and looked at Zheng Ke incredulously, what is this?
"Of course not. I'm thinking about the rest of your life. Luo Meng immediately denied Zheng Ke's words, and his tone was so sincere that Zheng Ke was a little confused.
"For the sake of my life?" Zheng Ke frowned, feeling a kind of doubt.
