Reborn – Super Chef

Chapter 157: The Japanese way

Views:

Yanhao Iijima's kimono was particularly eye-catching and eye-catching, so as soon as he left the hotel lobby, Ye Chui saw Yanhao Iijima not far away, and Zhang Huabin walking beside him, and the two of them soon saw Ye Chui.

These two people were also watching the competition at the scene just now. Knowing that Ye Chui won the Judges Award obviously made them even more unhappy - after all, Ye Chui's position as a judge was originally supposed to belong to Iijima Yanhao. From the perspective of some people, it was as if Ye Chui had snatched the award that originally belonged to him.

The expression on Iijima Yanhao's face was extremely angry, and he walked straight towards Ye Chui.

Seeing him coming, Han Yuyan, who was worthy of being Ye Chui's close combat fighter, immediately stood up.

Ye Chui patted her shoulder and told her to stay calm, saying that this Japanese man would never dare to hit anyone in broad daylight.

"Mr. Ye Chui, I heard before that you Chinese have to use backdoors and bribes to do everything. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do." Iijima Yanhao said in stiff Chinese with a cold face. His words were directed at the fact that Ye Chui replaced him as a judge, and he also vaguely implied that Ye Chui was able to win this award by cheating through the backdoor.

Hearing him say this, Ye Chui immediately laughed: "Mr. Iijima, I heard that you Japanese people are always punctual and trustworthy in everything, and like to follow the upright Bushido spirit. I believed it at first, but now I don't believe it at all."

—Ye Chui's words were naturally meant to mock Iijima Yanhao for being late for his previous job as a judge, not being punctual and not keeping his promise, and not being happy about someone replacing him as a judge, so he came over to sourly accuse Ye Chui, which was not at all fair and upright.

Iijima Yanhao: "..."

Seeing Iijima Yanhao's face flushed red but he couldn't say a word, Han Yuyan, Dong Youyou, An Jing and Lin Wei all had relieved expressions on their faces. Seeing that Ye Chui could choke Iijima Yanhao speechless with just one sentence, they were naturally indescribably proud.

Ye Cui was too lazy to waste time talking to this Japanese man, so he planned to leave with a few girls.

Iijima Yanhao hurriedly continued, "Mr. Ye Chui, my Japanese sushi restaurant will be opening in the next two days. I hope you can come and taste it then."

"Opening in the next two days?" Ye Chui was slightly stunned. Yanhao Iijima was a Japanese chef invited by Zhang Huabin. The Japanese sushi restaurant he mentioned was naturally the Japanese restaurant Zhang Huabin was going to open next to Hainan Chicken Rice in the food court. Now the three shops on the left side of Hainan Chicken Rice have already been renovated. Since Yanhao Iijima has come to Hainan, China, it is natural that he will open in the next two days.

Ye Chui smiled. Iijima Yanhao invited Ye Chui to taste the sushi he was about to open, which was obviously a provocation. He smiled disapprovingly: "Okay, but I have to wait until I have time."

After saying this, Ye Chui walked away with the girls.

"Mr. Iijima, why are you so angry with this guy?" Zhang Huabin came to Iijima Yanhao with some confusion, "Once our sushi restaurant opens, the reputation of his Hainanese chicken rice will definitely plummet, and it won't be worth our attention at all."

"Baka!" Yanhao Iijima glared at Zhang Huabin with a cold face, "Boss Zhang, you'd better not underestimate this young man. I heard you say before I came here that the Hainanese chicken rice business was extremely bad before, but after this young man joined the restaurant, the Hainanese chicken rice business began to pick up in just one week. Doesn't this prove something?"

"This... This only shows that he is lucky..." Zhang Huabin said hurriedly.

"Humph, we Yamato people never believe in luck. This kid just won the judges' award, so he must have some outstanding qualities." Iijima Yanhao adjusted his kimono and continued, "So when our Japanese sushi restaurant opens in the next two days, we must do what you Chinese people call a good deal..."

"Mr. Iijima. It's a good start..." Zhang Huabin reminded hurriedly.

"… That's right, good luck to the opening!" Iijima Yanhao's face turned red quietly, and he continued to pretend that nothing had happened, "Boss Zhang. Have you found all the girls I asked you to find before? I want to make our sushi restaurant a sensation according to our Japanese style!"

Ye Chui and a few girls were not in a hurry to go back. It was a rare opportunity for them to come out, so they naturally wanted to have a good time traveling around. This was also their main purpose of going to Hainan.

Dong Youyou took the initiative to act as a tour guide. She first took them to the mountaintop park for a tour. Ye Chui had been to this place in his previous life. However, the two worlds seemed to be similar. The beautiful scenery of being surrounded by the sea on three sides and green mountains all year round was very similar. Han Yuyan also took out the digital camera that he had prepared before. This camera was placed together with the luggage, so it was spared from being lost by Sister Han.

It goes without saying that you can use your camera to take pictures along the way.

It was already around five or six in the afternoon when they returned to the food court that day, and Dong Youyou was surprised to see people waiting outside the restaurant. It was the first time since the restaurant opened that she saw people waiting outside so eagerly because they wanted to eat her Hainanese chicken rice.

At this time, Ye Cui took out his cell phone and called Tian Xiaodu.

"The topic for the second game has been announced, right?" Ye Chui asked with a smile. He was still very concerned about his apprentice's cooking competition.

"It's Dongshan lamb." Tian Xiaodu explained, "We need to use Dongshan lamb to make a delicacy, and then three professional gourmets will come to rate it."

"Dongshan lamb is one of Hainan's four famous dishes. It has a thin skin and thick jerky, and is tender and sweet on the inside. Most importantly, it doesn't have the mutton smell of ordinary lamb." Ye Chui thought for a moment and said with a smile.

Although Dongshan lamb is one of the four famous dishes, in fact, this dish more precisely refers to the ingredients. Dongshan lamb is produced in Dongshanling, Wanning, Hainan. The unique natural ecological environment has created a unique meat taste. Of course, it is not easy to cook this kind of lamb perfectly. Ordinary lamb cooking methods will definitely not work.

Ye Chui continued to say to Tian Xiaodu: "The taste of Dongshan lamb is a little different from ordinary lamb. If you want to make this dish well, you should first taste the flavor of this kind of lamb carefully, and make a suitable dish according to the ingredients."

"Yes, Master, I understand." Tian Xiaodu said seriously.

"Oh right..." Ye Chui thought of something and continued to talk to Tian Xiaodu, "You and Dong Qian won't get into any trouble together, right? Don't forget what kind of person your wife is."

Tian Xiaodu smiled bitterly and said, "Master, don't you know me? I won't do that kind of thing. Even if Dong Qian takes the initiative to seduce me, I will never be tempted... Besides, isn't she not tempting me?"

—Tian Xiaodu said the first half of the sentence firmly and sincerely, but the second half seemed a bit sour…

"Do you still expect her to seduce you and then you reject her?" Ye Chui said with some sweat on his face. He hung up the phone.

In the next few days, Tian Xiaodu began to devote himself to the test questions of the second game, while Ye Chui worked hard to improve the business of Hainanese chicken rice - this was actually not difficult, after all, this was a tourist city, and there were only a limited number of regular customers. Most of the customers were visiting the food court for the first time, so as long as the dishes were good, it would be easy to attract tourists.

Ye Chui is also constantly researching better ways to cook Hainanese chicken rice.

"Try it this time. How does it taste? I changed the ingredients a little bit. It should taste smoother."

It was morning time and the restaurant was relatively quiet. Ye Chui placed the freshly-cooked boiled Wenchang chicken in the middle of the table, along with some dipping sauce.

Dong Youyou, Lin Wei, Han Yuyan and An Jing were sitting around the dining table. When they heard Ye Chui's words, they immediately picked up a few pieces and dipped them in the sauce and put them into their mouths.

"It's delicious." Lin Wei showed an expression of enjoyment.

"Brother. That's great." An Jing also said with a smile.

Han Yuyan had already picked up the second piece. She said in confusion, "Master, the Hainanese chicken rice you made is already the most delicious. Why are you still not satisfied? I think what you made this time is no different from the last time."

"Yes, Ye Chui, the Hainanese chicken rice you make now is already top-notch, why are you still not satisfied?" Dong Youyou said puzzledly. She picked up a piece of chicken and looked at the tender and delicious chicken nugget with a look of confusion on her face. "I think our Hainanese chicken rice is much better than the food in other restaurants now."

Listening to the four girls' praise, Ye Chui was not happy. After all, the four girls were not professional gourmets, so they could not give him fair advice. The taste of Hainanese chicken rice was not at the top level, at least it was still a little different from the ultimate taste that Ye Chui expected.

But he couldn't find out what the difference was.

"Ye Cui. Is there anything imperfect about this dish?" Lin Wei couldn't help but ask when she saw Ye Cui's thoughtful look.

Ye Chui smiled and said, "I always feel like something is missing."

In his previous life, Hainanese chicken rice was a big regret for Ye Chui. When Ye Chui was still a teenager, he had eaten an extremely delicious Hainanese chicken rice, and that taste has always remained in his heart. It can't be dispersed for a long time - he misses that taste, of course, not because of the different mood when eating delicious food, but it is true that the Hainanese chicken rice he ate at that time has an indescribable beauty.

Unfortunately, after he became a great chef, he could no longer find that lost delicious taste.

"I'll try to modify the recipe again." Ye Chui said thoughtfully. Hainanese chicken rice is actually very simple to cook. The control of the heat is very important, and these are absolutely no problem for Ye Chui. He can do every step to the extreme, but why is there a difference in taste? Is it because of the ingredients? But the chicken he used is obviously the most suitable Wenchang chicken for Hainanese chicken rice.

While I was thinking about this question, I suddenly saw little Wang Shiyu running in from outside, jumping and skipping, with the camera hanging around her neck swinging in front of her chest.

Ever since they went out for fun two days ago and Han Yuyan took out the digital camera he had prepared, Wang Shiyu seemed to have suddenly found something fun. She became interested in photography and wanted to take pictures of everything she saw.

Kittens and puppies, tourists eating, and so on.

Last night, she took her camera and ran to the bathroom to take photos. Han Yuyan and Lin Wei were taking a bath in the bathroom at that time. It was said that they took photos of something amazing, but Ye Chui naturally had no chance to see it...

Seeing Wang Shiyu running back from outside with a happy face, Ye Chui smiled and waved to the little girl: "Xiaoyu, let me see what you filmed today."

"Brother, I took a lot of interesting photos today!" Wang Shiyu's face was full of excitement, and she happily handed the digital camera to Ye Chui.

Ye Chui wondered if this little thing had taken a picture of some cute little animal

Thinking of this, Ye Chui opened the viewfinder lens and began to look through the photos one by one.

Then Ye Chui's expression stiffened involuntarily - there were pictures of beautiful women in bikinis, hot and sexy, standing on the street in gorgeous clothes, and countless tourists couldn't help but stare at them...

Of course, it was impossible for Wang Shiyu to take beautiful and moving photos, but at least she could let Ye Chui see clearly that the photos were taken at the food street outside his Hainanese Chicken Rice.

Ye Chui realized something, and hurriedly put down his camera and walked outside the hotel. The Japanese restaurant next door was opening today, and in order to get a good start, they directly found a few bikini beauties to attract business... (~^~)
