Chapter 27: Poison poison poison (3)
That sharp voice came from a youth’s mouth. It was shrill and fine, just like the voice of a girl. However, because it was like this, it was enough for the people who heard this voice to be aware that the person talking was in an exceptionally angry mood. At this moment in the Zhenxiu Institute No. 3 male dormitory building room 304, six male students were sitting upright and still. They each occupied a corner of the room, confronting and guarding against each other.
“Ah. You yourself asked this question. It’s just like you’re splashing dirty water onto other people?” A slightly rough voice sounded from a youth in the room. The owner of this voice was sitting on the bed, his expression cold. He was rapidly flipping a knife in his hand.
“Then are you saying it wasn’t you? If us four had a problem, wouldn’t this directly benefit you getting the best grades? Previously I had always thought that even though you were a little arrogant, your character was still okay. However it now seems that you deeply concealed your true colours! Seeing that we were taken away today, you must have secretly felt very pleased and happy right? However, you didn’t expect that Teacher Yin would actually speak up for us. Just you wait. Wait for the police to thoroughly investigate this matter. At that time, your plan will all be unravelled!” That sharp voice continued to talk. However, this time his words directly infuriated the youth sitting on the bed.
“Although I had no hope for your IQ before, I really didn’t expect that you would be stupid to this degree.” Lu Ming flipped the small knife in his hand, looking at the youth who was accusing him and said: “I admit that my cooking skills are not as good as Song Tian Tian or Liang Zhi Hao. However, aren’t you being a little two subjective towards me? In this semester, there is a cooking exam every week. Up till now, there have been a total of eight exams over the past two months. I have come third six times. Where did you get the confidence to think that you are more outstanding than me? It’s just that you and Wang Si Si’s soup also had problems, so you thought you could rise up? Song Ze, you should cook some pig brains to supplement yourself.”
When Song Ze heard this, he was practically about to go mad. He directly stood up wanting to throw a punch, but was held back by two other male students who lived in this dorm room. Liang Zhi Hao also lived in this room. He clucked his tongue and looked at Lu Ming and Song Ze. As a dormitory head, he felt that he had a little headache. “Can you two not constantly fight? Hasn’t today’s matter affected you enough? We are all in the same dormitory and have lived together for more than four years. Even if our relationship is not that good, we can still understand each other’s personalities right? I believe that Lu Ming is definitely not that kind of person. Song Ze, even if you suffered an unexpected misfortune today, you still shouldn’t suspect Lu Ming.”
When Lu Ming and Song Ze heard Liang Zhi Hao say this, they respectively snorted. Song Ze glared at Lu Ming: “For the sake of Zhi Hao’s request, I won’t bother with you.”
Lu Ming wasn’t speaking as he looked at the little knife in his hand. His big brother had said that that person was an idiot who only grew in height and did not grow his brain. That guy didn’t every realise what the situation around him was like and just anxiously started to bite at others. Ultimately, the first dead cannon fodder would definitely be him. If this matter was really because of Lu Ming, then his brain must have been wedged between a door so that he would think of such a dangerous method that did not in the least bit benefit himself. Simply put, it was to harm others without benefiting oneself.
Lu Ming then glanced at the good youth Liang Zhi Hao. He also rolled his eyes and climbed into bed to sleep.
Liang Zhi Hao massaged his eyebrows. He was thinking that tomorrow he should bring along Song Ze, Song Tian Tian and Wang Si Si together to go to the hospital and visit their teachers and the board member. After all, even if there was video evidence that they were basically innocent, these few teachers and the board member still had misfortune because of them.
The next day, Liang Zhi Hao told this thought to the other three people. They felt that visiting the teachers was what they ought to do. Hence they each respectively made two dimsum dishes and carried them to the hospital. Although it was only two dimsum dishes each, they were not giving them to an ordinary person to eat. The other three teachers were not a problem, but these four students couldn’t help but put in 120,000 points worth of effort to cook for that poison tongued Ren Zhu. He was really quite picky and not easy to deal with. If their well-wishing dishes were obviously lacking in flavour, don’t mention being criticised one-sidedly for this visit, when Teacher Ren comes back, they would definitely be miserable and tragic.
Therefore, each person was carrying two dishes. They had pondered for an entire morning, and then with fear and trepidation, they earnestly cooked until the afternoon. When they had finally completed their dishes, it was already four in the afternoon. Just when they were about to leave, Lu Ming unexpectedly also carried a very exquisite food box and followed behind them. Accompanying him was that Wei Yi Liu. The two people’s destination seemed to be very obvious.
“We are going to visit the teacher. Teacher Ren is Yi Liu’s uncle. It’s normal for him to go and visit. But why on earth are you, this completely unrelated person, also following along? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?” As soon as Song Ze saw Lu Ming, he couldn’t help but want to explode. Beside him, Liang Zhi Hao powerlessly sighed. In his heart, he prayed that this Lu Ming wouldn’t directly curse back.
However, praying had no fucking use. Although Lu Ming did not directly say anything, his gaze and facial expression clearly displayed his disdain. This kind of appearance, even if Song Tian Tian had a gentle and lively temperament and Liang Zhi Hao was acknowledged by everyone to be a reliable class leader with a good character, they both still felt this to be a little unbearable.
Song Ze immediately rushed up, but was stopped by Wei Yi Liu: “Ai, Song Ze! We are all students from the same class. Don’t be agitated ah! That is fruit pudding in your hands right? This dish is what people fear breaking the most ah! We are going to visit the teacher. If other people won’t say it then I will. You should all know my uncle’s character and temperament right? He is not only a picky beauty, but also a famous extremely picky food connoisseur. You think that after you start fighting here, you can still let my uncle see your pudding?”
These words directly poked at Song Ze’s weak spot. He thought of that teacher who was simultaneously the head of the year and also the evaluation course teacher. His appearance was handsome, each and every move was very graceful, and from the outside he did not look to have any flaws, but he was incomparably picky and had a nasty temper. In the end, Song Ze finally pulled back. Alright! I’ll wait until we come back before I get even with this Lu Ming again!
Perhaps it was because Teacher Ren’s reputation was too big that everyone was well behaved the entire way. While sitting on the bus, even the people around them who saw that they were Zhenxiu Institute talented students continued to praise them. However, when everyone entered the hospital, they were still quite nervous. They also didn’t know who was the first to propose this idea, but the six youths in the end had unanimously decided to pay Teacher Ren a visit. They dawdled until 5:30 before they carefully knocked on the door of Ren Zhu’s single person VIP room.
“Come in.”
Ren Zhu’s cool voice came over.
Forced to be the leader, Wei Yi Liu pushed open the door and revealed a smile as though he was currying favour: “Uncle, we came to visit you!”
Ren Zhu was sitting beside the bed. He raised his eyebrows and put down the book in his hands. Looking at the six youthful students crowded at the door, he suddenly smiled: “Oh. You still know to take the initiative to come and see me. You finally have some conscience.”
Wei Yi Liu saw his uncle’s smile and his courage immediately sky rocketed, bringing the classmates in one after another: “Aiya. Uncle ah. Us seventh year class 3 students have always had a lot of conscience ah! If it weren’t because Zhi Hao and the others were interrogated yesterday, they would have definitely come to see you. However, today is also not too late. They have also each made some dimsum dishes for you to try. It just happens to be afternoon tea time. Uncle, give them a taste and evaluate them!”
Thanks to Wei Yi Liu’s buffer, Liang Zhi Hao and the other three could finally relax a little. Lu Ming then automatically found a chair to sit down, using his actions to indicate that he wasn’t in the same group as them.
In the hospital room, the six students all had different expressions on their faces. However, the one that Ren Zhu first took note of was actually Lu Ming who was the furthest away from him. Perhaps it was because his skills had upgraded, or because he had lived a long life in his previous lifetime? In short, the moment he saw this child, he knew that this youngster had some issues. This child was also shrouded in a very dark aura. However, it was different from Zhou Lai’s. Zhou Lai’s gloominess was directed at himself, whereas this child’s gloom was in fact directed at other people.
After glancing at Lu Ming, Ren Zhu took back his line of sight and looked at the four students in front of him. At a glance, anyone could tell that these four students were good children. Amongst them, Liang Zhi Hao seemed very calm and gentle. In comparison, Song Tian Tian and Wang Si Si were a little more lively. And Song Ze…… this little rascal.
“Don’t you all know that in order to have me evaluate a dish, you need to at least pay my appearance fee?” When Teacher Ren saw such adorable children again, his mood was good and he couldn’t help but tease them.
As expected, the four students opposite him froze. Ren Zhu then laughed: “Alright. Today I’ll give you all a special discount. Seeing that you are all sincere and earnest, I won’t take your money. Serve the dishes.”
Afterwards, Song Tian Tian was a little dumbfounded as she smiled: “Teacher Ren. Just then when you said that, I couldn’t help but want to fish out my money!” Beside her, Song Ze and Liang Zhi Hao both nodded in sorrow. Teacher Ren couldn’t help but question himself. Did he accidentally trigger the obedience skill?
Very quickly, Liang Zhi Hao and the others put their dimsum dishes onto the table.
The so called dimsum snack had the 'sweet feeling' kind of meaning. Therefore, regardless of how the dimsum was made, it should make people feel happy and pleasant. Ordinary machine manufactured dimsum do not give this kind of beautiful feeling. Occasionally eating it to satisfy one’s hunger was fine, but regarding this big foodie, that kind of dimsum was the most unacceptable. And regarding Ren Zhu’s requirements for dimsum, he was even more of a freak.
“Oh. Fruit pudding? Who taught you these knife skills? You carved a beautiful apple peony into a Chinese rose. Are you preparing to repeat the knife techniques course this semester? The heat control when you cooked this pudding is not adequate, the sweetness is too high, and it is not soft enough. Ze, you just did a good job in blending in the milk. Fortunately you only prepared this small cup. Otherwise, I can only let you finish this yourself.” When Song Ze heard these words, he flushed with embarrassment while in his heart, he also noted down the mistakes he made.
“Oh. Is this osmanthus cake? I remember that it’s currently spring? Why did you use osmanthus? For this season, why not make a peach blossom cake? You can at least be considered to be diligent. The shape is also acceptable. However, the ingredients are not the freshest, nor the most suitable. How can you still make a good dish? The season is what a chef should pay attention to the most. Tian Tian ah, you should be a little more mindful.” Song Tian Tian retreated in defeat and nodded repeatedly.
“En, peach crisps…… they’re quite normal. They don’t have any special characteristics. I don’t have anything to say about them. Si Si ah, you should think about it. Although the teacher only teaches one kind of method for the recipe, the flavour will be different for each person. A minute difference can completely change the flavour. Being unable to make people remember the flavour is a chef’s biggest shortcoming.” Wang Si Si wished that she could take back her peach crisps and demolish them.
Finally, Ren Zhu saw the shrimp dumplings that Liang Zhi Hao made. He reached out and directly picked one up, stuffing it into his mouth. He nodded his head and then frowned. Under Liang Zhi Hao’s nervous gaze, he said: “This is considered pretty good. Originally, I was going to praise you. It a pity that you had to clash with a great god today. I smell some even more delicious food, your dish can no longer enter my eyes.”
Liang Zhi Hao and the others were still wondering which great god he clashed with when Ren Zhu directly raised his head and looked towards the door: “Eavesdropping for so long. Teacher Yin, you can come in and rest.”
As a result, the people in the room all simultaneously looked towards the door. Chef Yin, who had indeed been eavesdropping for a long while, felt that his body was a little stiff. However, he quickly regained his iceberg face and calmly entered the room. He glanced at Liang Zhi Hao’s shrimp dumplings and pursed his lips, putting his own food box onto the table. Opening it, a plate of beautifully sophisticated crystal shrimp dumplings shone before the students’ eyes.
