The boss is a man around forty years old. Although he's a chef, he doesn't look overweight at all; in fact, he's somewhat refined, which is very unusual for a chef.
The boss was also very curious. Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei call out to him, he walked over, and Ling Zhenfei handed him a cigarette. They both lit it and started smoking.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Boss, your skills are impressive. Where did you learn them?"
The boss laughed and said, "They are passed down through the family with a bit of my own research. As long as the customers say the food is good, that's all that matters."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Not bad, so it's inherited. Your store's rent must not be cheap, right?"
The boss was taken aback and said, "Yes, the rent just keeps increasing. My little shop is really struggling. What do you do?"
"Looking at your attire, you must be quite successful. Why are you asking about these things?"
