Chapter 227: Don't Offend This Master

Cao Yushu felt a lump in his throat and was struck by a great blow!

So, all the things his parents had told him such as “height is not a problem,” “my son is already very tall,” and “I am very satisfied with this height” were false, merely words of comfort.

Cao Yushu said expressionlessly, “Dad, I’ve grown taller, it’s your son, no mistake.”

Cao Jinhai had been locked up in the inner kitchen of Juxian Pavilion to learn cooking, refusing any customers’ orders, studying recipes day and night without sleep, and had not come back for half a month already.

He had been growing taller by the day, growing 1cm each day. Now, in the blink of an eye, he had shot up to 1.8 meters, becoming a strapping young man.

The few girls who had previously mocked him as a “dead shorty cripple” blushed and hastily fled as soon as they saw him.

Previously, Cao Yushu had never thought he could really grow taller, but now that it had finally happened, suddenly he felt as though his entire life had become fulfilled.

His mom really missed his dad, so he sneaked some free time to slip into Juxian Pavilion. As soon as he entered, he smelled something delicious and couldn’t resist eating the last small bok choy.

Cao Yushu couldn’t help but praise, “Dad, your half-month of cooking practice wasn’t in vain; your skills have soared. The bok choy you just cooked was quite tasty, not greasy at all and very crisp.”@@novelbin@@

Cao Yushu was a bit embarrassed, “Can you make another dish for me? I want to take it back for mom to eat.”

Cao Jinhai, still somewhat dumbfounded, stared at his son who was now a head taller than him and wouldn’t stop chattering.

His son had grown taller?

Previously, when he got the recipes from Bai Chuwei, he thought Bai Chuwei’s ultimate goal was to see him and pass on the recipes, but he really did grow!

He had heard before that just 1cm was grown, which wouldn’t be too noticeable by itself, but now it was different, nearly 20cm had been added, towering a full head above him, impossible to ignore.

Growth hormones didn’t even work this fast!

But when he heard his son’s request, Cao Jinhai immediately refused without a second thought, “No!”

Cao Yushu was somewhat speechless, “Dad, aren’t you being too stingy? It’s just a plate of stir-fried bok choy.”

“What do you know, you?”

Cao Jinhai was extremely agitated, muttering to himself, “It seems there’s still some fragrant pork in the bag, I could use this pork to make lard ahead of time…”

He had a momentous task at hand and didn’t have time to stir-fry bok choy for Cao Yushu.

“Hurry up and go, I’m busy. Okay, I know you’ve grown taller, stop showing off, I’m not envious and I won’t be going to Miss Bai for acupuncture either.” Cao Jinhai pushed Cao Yushu towards the outside.

Now that he had the recipes, he was completely satisfied. Whether he grew taller or not didn’t matter anymore; he had been short for over forty years anyway.

Besides, his son had already grown so tall, any guilt he might have felt about passing on short genes had already dissipated.

“Dad, dad, don’t push me!” Cao Yushu called out as he was pushed out of the inner kitchen.

In that moment, a figure swiftly passed by, brazenly barging into the kitchen!

The person grabbed a cucumber that an apprentice had not yet had time to put away, eyes gleaming, and blurted out, “Spiritual Energy fruits and vegetables!”

Cao Jinhai’s face darkened as he strode forward and grabbed the other end of the cucumber, “May I ask who you are? This is the inner kitchen, customers are not allowed in!”

Cao Jinhai’s expression turned stormy, clouds gathering on his face, seeming ready to erupt in anger.

The pursuing restaurant manager came up looking gloomy, whispering in Cao Jinhai’s ear, “Chef Cao, please don’t offend this master. He is the Hermit of Hengshan!”
