Chapter 587: Chapter 588: The Imperial Palace’s Royal Chef

"Guibao, we will be in the Capital soon. Will you let me take you for some lamb hotpot?" Gu Tingyun gently coaxed.

This trip was primarily for a Math competition, and they could only stay in the Capital for a few days after the contest was over. There would be no time to take a jaunt to Dalian.

After National Day, there would be no extended holidays. A trip to Dalian will have to wait until the winter vacation.

Helian Qiao had no idea about these constraints, so she changed her request, "I also want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was her most satisfying dish aside from goldfish!

Gu Tingyun, however, did not immediately agree, "Guibao, I have to go back and ask if grandpa can reserve a table for National Day."

He couldn’t make any promises to Guibao about uncertain matters. If he made a promise and then couldn’t make it happen, Guibao would be heartbroken!

"I will ask grandpa Li myself." Helian Qiao lifted her small chin, looking self-satisfied.

Grandpa Li will definitely make it for her!

Grandpa Li is the chef who makes Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. He really likes the innocent and adorable Guibao. He personally promised her that he would make it whenever Guibao visits.

A young man sitting nearby listening to this conversation was puzzled, "Why do we have to reserve in advance for a meal?"

It’s just Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, right?!

He had tried it; good-tasting indeed, and the preparation and ingredients are complex, but is it really necessary to reserve so many days in advance, not knowing if it is possible?!

What a hassle!

The handsome uncle asked, "Young lady, the Grandpa Li you mentioned, is he Master Li from the Siheyuan courtyard?"

"Yes!" Helian Qiao blinked and nodded in response.

Does the uncle know Grandpa Li too?

The handsome uncle chuckled lightly and warmly said, "Well, that makes sense. Master Li used to be the chef in charge of the Imperial Palace. Now that he is older, he can only serve one table a day. With many wanting to eat his food, you usually need to reserve at least one month in advance, and even then, it might not be possible."

Given the tone this young lady took while talking, she sounded very familiar with Master Li.

It seemed that these two children were not from ordinary families.

The naive young man was stupefied: ...

He swallowed his saliva, a chef for the emperor!??!

Such culinary skills must be extraordinary!

Never even mind reserving one month in advance, even a year would be worth the taste!

"Guibao, it’s time to wash up." Gu Tingyun packed up the Five-Men Chess after finishing a game. He took out a towel, toothbrush, and cup neatly packed in a bag, stood up, and gently called out to Guibao.

"Okay!"

Helian Qiao was immediately in a good mood thinking about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and jumped out of bed cheerfully, grabbing her shoes. She took Gu Tingyun’s hand and skipped away.

The two of them quickly came back after finishing their wash-up. The handsome uncle took his towel and toothbrush from his bag, intending to wash up as well.

At both ends of each train carriage, there was a washroom with only two spots. If there were too many people, you would have to wait in line.

The young man brought a toothbrush, "Uncle, I’ll go with you!"

He felt that he got along quite well with the uncle.

Helian Qiao took off her shoes, reached out to grab the guardrails of the top bunk, and stepped on the lower bunk to easily clamber up on her own.

Since there were no strangers here in the soft sleeper compartment, Gu Tingyun didn’t stop her.

After Helian Qiao laid down, she said, "Gu Tingyun, I’m going to sleep."

"Sleep then."

With that, she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Her red lips slightly puckered, her small cheeks blushing and possessing an innocent and natural cuteness.
