"Is that why you keep pestering me?" Ye Chui was stunned when he heard Tian Xiaodu's words. He was sure that Tian Xiaodu had nothing to do with Cao Kang. But he couldn't figure it out. Tian Xiaodu was a famous chef after all. What kind of guest did he want to entertain that forced him to be like this these days? Ye Chui couldn't help asking, "Is that guest a bit picky?"
"More than just bragging?" Tian Xiaodu said with a wry smile, "He is a famous gourmet in the food industry, his name is Han Xi, also known as Mr. Han. He will come to Xizhou City to discuss business in a while. The manager of our restaurant has tried every means to use his connections to invite him to have a meal with us - this leaves me with a big problem. If he enjoys the meal, then our Wan Lai Fu will definitely become more famous. But if he doesn't, his words can reduce our business by half. Do you think I can be less anxious these two days?"
"Does this person like to eat chicken?" Ye Chui asked with interest.
"That's right. Mr. Han is over 90 years old this year. When he was a teenager, there was no 'vegetarian movement' yet. Meat dishes were thriving at that time, and he was particularly fond of chicken. Now, after 80 years, the ban on meat has been lifted. It is said that he has traveled all over the country in the past two years, trying to find the flavors he had eaten as a teenager, but none of them satisfied him." Tian Xiaodu explained.
Since the vegetarian movement, animals have been poisonous and a biochemical catastrophe has occurred on Earth. The impact of this disaster on culture, especially culinary culture, has been devastating. People once believed that meat could no longer be eaten, causing most meat recipes to be lost, and even those that were left were incomplete. Mr. Han happened to have experienced the era before the vegetarian movement and tasted the pinnacle of meat cuisine. After eighty years, the original delicacy may have been "deified" in his heart. How could it be so easy to satisfy the taste of a gourmet like him
Of course, this is not a problem for Ye Chui.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid just a plate of chicken won't be enough." Ye Chui said thoughtfully as he pushed the tricycle.
"So that dish is called Da Pan Ji? The name is easy to understand..." Tian Xiaodu sighed first, then asked curiously, "The taste of this Da Pan Ji is already very delicious. I tried to copy it several times but failed. This is enough to show that this dish is also of high quality. Why, is it that this dish still can't satisfy Mr. Han?"
"How should I know this?" Ye Chui rolled his eyes. "I don't know that Mr. Han, but since the dishes are to be tasted by such a gourmet, the big plate of chicken seems too common. If you want to satisfy his taste buds, it would be better to serve some more exquisite and famous dishes."
"Are there any other dishes with chicken?" Hearing Ye Chui say this, Tian Xiaodu couldn't wait to ask.
The big plate chicken had already impressed him greatly, but now it seemed that this little brother actually knew other chicken dishes
Ye Chui was deep in thought at this time. When he heard what Tian Xiaodu said, he answered casually, "Of course there are, such as steamed chicken with rice flour, wonton chicken, pepper chicken, spicy chicken, shredded chicken, lotus leaf chicken, mouth-watering chicken, Wenchang chicken, and boiled chicken... Hey, why don't you leave?"
Tian Xiaodu was so shocked that he felt like he was struck by lightning. How could he even move
He had never heard of any of the dishes Ye Chui mentioned, but he had a vague feeling that they were once famous dishes. Ye Chui just casually mentioned them as if they were a joke, which made him look at Ye Chui with even more surprise. He took a few quick steps and came to Ye Chui: "You... How do you know so many recipes? Could it be... Could it be that you..."
Ye Chui thought to himself, could it be that Tian Xiaodu is doubting that he is not from this world
But it turned out that Ye Chui was worrying too much. Tian Xiaodu asked in surprise, "Do you have the recipes for those lost ancient dishes?"
The ban on meat has been lifted, and the era of gourmet food has revived. What is the most valuable thing in the world now
Naturally, they are the recipes that represent the crystallization of hundreds and thousands of years of culinary culture!
Ye Chui was slightly stunned when he heard what Tian Xiaodu said, then he smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have seen the lost recipes of ancient dishes, but these are my family heirlooms and cannot be seen by others."
"I understand." Tian Xiaodu nodded hurriedly, and then said with great envy, "This is a treasure of Chinese food culture that has been around for thousands of years. How wonderful it would be if it could see the light of day again one day?"
"Haha, that day won't be far away." Ye Chui said meaningfully.
As they talked, they came to Ye Chui's neighborhood. Tian Xiaodu said to Ye Chui with a flattering look on his face: "Little brother, can you sell me a recipe?"
"Of course you can, but..." Ye Chui had already thought it through, and he suggested to Tian Xiaodu, "But I have a suggestion. I wonder if you would like to hear it."
"What proposal? Tell me." Tian Xiaodu said hurriedly.
"I will entertain Mr. Han." Ye Chui said with a smile, "Since he is a gourmet, he must have a big appetite. How can just one dish be enough? I can prepare a sumptuous chicken dinner for him, which will definitely make him reminisce about his youth."
Tian Xiaodu was stunned by Ye Chui's proposal. A kid who was only seventeen or eighteen years old and selling grilled lamb skewers actually proposed to replace himself, a five-star chef, to entertain the gourmet
If this had been said before tonight, Tian Xiaodu would have just walked away. But now, after being shocked, he suddenly felt that this was a reliable thing. He said thoughtfully, "I have to discuss this with our manager. After all, this represents Wan Laifu's reputation."
"It doesn't matter. I can make a special trip to Wan Lai Fu tomorrow and personally cook a chicken dish for your manager to taste." Ye Chui said with a smile, "If my dish can't impress him, then this proposal will naturally be invalidated."
Ye Chui's words clearly showed his extreme confidence.
Tian Xiaodu nodded vigorously: "Then let's put it this way, I'll get someone to pick you up tomorrow!" He paused, thinking of something, and then asked, "But your help is not free, right?"
“Of course it’s not free.”
Ye Chui chuckled - he was actually hoping to make some extra money from this. His lamb kebab business was booming right now, but his monthly income was no more than 30,000 yuan at most. He calculated that if he wanted to open a decent restaurant, he would need at least 100,000 yuan, and it would take another half a year to save up enough. This great opportunity might allow him to open the restaurant in advance, and he could also quickly move to a better place to live - it's uncomfortable to live in a small 40-square-meter house with his two sisters now, right
"Then what is your charging standard?" Tian Xiaodu continued to ask.
"Let's talk about this tomorrow. I'll make the dishes and let you taste them before we decide the price."
Ye Cui said cunningly, if he said now that he wanted tens of thousands of dollars, it would definitely scare people, right
You will feel confident when you speak up tomorrow when you have shown your true abilities.
Of course, Ye Chui himself did not think that it was excessive to charge tens of thousands of yuan for a table of food. After all, he was the God of Food in his previous life, so it was normal for him to spend "a thousand gold coins for one dish". Tens of thousands of yuan for a table of food was already a good discount, right
Considering that I am still unknown, I will give it to them at a bargain price.
