"Spicy Chicken?" Upon hearing the name, Tian Xiaodu savored it carefully and nodded vigorously. "It's appropriate! It's indeed appropriate. This dish combines the flavors of chili peppers and fried chicken. Although the process is simple, the taste is incomparably outstanding. It is definitely a delicacy that has been developed over several years. This is an ancient recipe that has been lost. It really lives up to its reputation."
Ye Chui nodded: "That's right."
The restaurant manager Yang Yong picked up his chopsticks right after Tian Xiaodu. He picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. His originally hesitant expression immediately turned into surprise. He himself was not a chef, so naturally he could not taste all the flavors of Tian Xiaodu, but the deliciousness of this dish was something he had never tasted before.
Spicy food can arouse people's appetite, and this spicy chicken makes the chicken spicy to the extreme. Just smelling the smell makes you want to eat it. How can you stop after taking a bite? He showed a greedy look, and his chopsticks kept moving, and he couldn't wait to pick up the food.
The third person to pick up the chopsticks was Fang Tao. Fang Tao was somewhat surprised by the taste of the spicy chicken, but he still didn't care in his heart. Tian Xiaodu's expression of enjoying the food so much that he was about to cry made him feel that it was a bit exaggerated. When he put a piece of meat into his mouth, he was thinking something like "What's the big deal about this? It's just fried chicken nuggets."
However, when the meat entered his mouth, the spicy taste spread on his taste buds, and Fang Tao's eyes suddenly widened. The thought that came to his mind was: It turns out that chicken can be cooked so deliciously!
No wonder Tian Xiaodu cried after eating it.
But then he was slightly shocked and looked at Ye Chui with surprise, only to see that Ye Chui had a calm and confident expression, as if he had no doubt about the sensation that his dish could cause. This made Fang Tao suddenly feel frustrated. It seemed that Ye Chui was only seventeen or eighteen years old. How could such a young man have such ability
The other chefs were attracted by the taste, and seeing the reactions of Tian Xiaodu, Fang Tao and Yang Yong, they became even more impatient and desperately wanted to taste the dish themselves. They were almost on the verge of a fight. Where was the contempt they had for Ye Chu before
The plate of spicy chicken was quickly divided up. Some people who didn't get to eat it looked resentful and looked at Ye Chui eagerly...
At this point, Ye Chui knew that he had shown off his real skills, so he smiled and asked Yang Yong: "Manager Yang, what do you think of my dish?"
“Delicious, very delicious!”
Yang Yong ate the most of the dish. His mouth was full of oil and his forehead was covered with sweat - it was because of the spiciness. He took out a towel to wipe his forehead and said to Ye Chui with a smile, "If Mr. Han eats this dish in a few days, he will definitely be satisfied. Haha, not bad, not bad. Now that we have your signature dish, our Wan Lai Fu will definitely become more famous in the future."
Hearing what Yang Yong said, Ye Chui couldn't help but frowned, wondering if Manager Yang had misunderstood something. From what he said, it seemed that this dish of his was already Wan Lai Fu's
So Ye Chui said, "Wait a minute... Manager Yang, did I say I wanted to give this dish to Wan Laifu?"
"You will work at Wanlai Fu in the future. This dish is of course our Wanlai Fu's signature dish. At worst, I can treat you like a chef." Yang Yong said as a matter of course.
Ye Chui was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Tian Xiaodu. When did he say he wanted to work at Wan Lai Fu
In fact, when Tian Xiaodu contacted Yang Yong this morning, he only said that he wanted Yang Yong to come over to watch someone demonstrate his cooking skills and make a chicken dish, but he did not say what the purpose of the visit was. This caused Yang Yong to misunderstanding, thinking that Tian Xiaodu was going to use the back door to get someone into the kitchen.
Tian Xiaodu hurriedly explained a few words to Yang Yong.
Yang Yong was shocked when he heard this: "So that's what's going on?" But after a moment's thought, he made a decision. He turned to look at Ye Chui and said, "Mr. Ye Chui, although you were not originally qualified to work at Wan Lai Fu, based on your performance just now, I will make an exception and hire you. Of course, you still have to start as an ordinary chef in the kitchen."
"… "
Ye Chui couldn't help but roll his eyes. Is the job in Wan Lai Fu's kitchen so valuable? What a chef earns here in a month is not as much as what he earns from selling grilled lamb skewers.
Yang Yong obviously thought that if he put forward this condition, Ye Chui would cry and beg to work here... Ye Chui patiently explained: "Manager Yang, I'm afraid you misunderstood. I have no interest in Wan Lai Fu. As Xiao Du said just now, I just want to show my ability. I will entertain Mr. Han in a few days. Of course, this will be charged. In addition, if you are interested in the dish I just made, I don't mind selling you the recipe."
After Ye Chui said this, the whole kitchen suddenly became quiet, because these words were too shocking. Not to mention that Ye Chui actually called Tian Xiaodu by name, the most important thing was that he actually planned to entertain Han Lao in person? This spicy chicken was indeed of superb quality, but even so, they still felt that Ye Chui's proposal was too arrogant.
Tian Xiaodu said to Yang Yong at the right time: "Manager Yang, I think Brother Ye Chu is fully qualified. Just this spicy chicken is enough to prove his extraordinary cooking skills."
Yang Yong knew that Tian Xiaodu was usually very conceited about being a chef, but he was so flattering to Ye Chui at this time. It seemed that this guy was really someone important. The most important thing was that the spicy chicken was absolutely delicious. Yang Yong had originally made a wishful calculation. If Ye Chui worked here, wouldn't this spicy chicken naturally become Wan Lai Fu's? But now he found that he was not interested in working here at all, so Yang Yong tentatively asked Ye Chui: "Then... How much do you plan to sell this spicy chicken recipe for?"
Ye Chui smiled faintly and said the price he had already thought of: "One hundred thousand."
"What!?" Yang Yong was so shocked by the number that his heart almost jumped out.
But this is not the end. Ye Chui continued, "As for the meal we will be serving to Mr. Han in a few days, I promise I can prepare a chicken feast that will satisfy Mr. Han, but I will also charge him 100,000 yuan for this meal."
"Another hundred thousand?" Yang Yong's face trembled. The menu plus the chicken dinner cost two hundred thousand. Not to mention whether the menu was worth the price, a table of dishes cost one hundred thousand. Even a five-star chef like Tian Xiaodu doesn't get such treatment!
The good impression that the other chefs in the kitchen had for Ye Chui suddenly disappeared, and they felt that Ye Chui was asking for an exorbitant price and was too ungrateful.
Tian Xiaodu's reaction was not that big, because he felt that Ye Chui was really worth the price - if Ye Chui had told him this price last night, he might have been unhappy, but after eating Ye Chui's spicy chicken just now, he felt that the price was not expensive at all.
"It's too expensive. You're not famous at all. A wild chef costs 100,000 yuan to cook a meal? Are you kidding me? That doesn't make sense!" Yang Yong said to Ye Chui with a mocking look on his face.
"Will Mr. Han, the one you are going to entertain, care about the chef's reputation?" Ye Chui retorted.
Yang Yong was speechless. Indeed, the title of chef did not mean much in front of Mr. Han. Even if the dishes made by a world-renowned chef were not to his taste, he would still point at the other person's nose and curse. This was all true.
"How about this..." Ye Chui smiled and suggested, "I can charge for the meal for Mr. Han later. If he is not satisfied, I won't charge a penny. How do you think?"
"You talk nicely, but if we fail to satisfy Mr. Han, it will damage the reputation of our Wan Lai Fu. Who will be responsible for this loss?" Yang Yong retorted.
"I can vouch for Brother Ye Chui!" Tian Xiaodu suddenly interrupted, patting his chest, "If Brother Ye Chui can't satisfy Mr. Han, then Manager Yang, you can just push the responsibility onto me. At worst, I can give up my title as a five-star chef."
“Master, you…” Fang Tao didn’t expect his master to be so determined, and hurriedly tried to stop him.
"I have made up my mind." Tian Xiaodu interrupted Fang Tao coldly.
Tian Xiaodu is a five-star chef, and he is also famous throughout the country. If Ye Chu messes up, it is indeed feasible for him to take responsibility. Yang Yong did not expect Tian Xiaodu to make this promise. He thought about it and felt that it would work. If Ye Chu messes up, it is Tian Xiaodu who loses face, but if Ye Chu does not mess up, it is Wan Laifu's face that will be lost. This is beneficial and harmless, so he nodded: "Okay, it's settled. As for the recipe of the spicy chicken..."
"One hundred thousand yuan. If you want it, I'll give it to you now. Otherwise, forget it. There's no negotiation."
Ye Chui said with a smile that if the recipe could be sold, then he would sell it, but if it couldn't be sold, he wouldn't force it.
But if you want to sell it, you need 100,000 yuan.
The flesh on Yang Yong's face twitched again. One hundred thousand yuan to buy a recipe, in fact, this is not such a shocking deal in this era. After all, the era of gourmet food is revived, and recipes, especially such ancient recipes, are very valuable. But to spend one hundred thousand yuan to buy a recipe from an unknown person like Ye Chui, Yang Yong felt the pain in his heart.
While Yang Yong was hesitating, a clear voice suddenly rang out at the kitchen door: "What's the smell of this dish? It smells so good."
Hearing this voice, Ye Chui couldn't help but move.
Isn’t this the voice of that greedy little cat Lin Wei
