Seeing Cao Kang speechless and looking dumbfounded by Ye Chui's words, and even Lin Wei standing beside Ye Chui to speak for him, Cao Xiong's face turned a little gloomy. He felt that his son was really disappointing. Not only because Cao Kang didn't get the upper hand over Ye Chu verbally, but also because he had instigated his son to pursue Lin Wei during this period of time. As a result, a kebab vendor now weighs more than his son in Lin Wei's eyes. What on earth had his son done in the past few days
Lin Zhengdao, on the other hand, had an expression of watching a good show. He had a good impression of Ye Chui as soon as they met. This good impression was not only because of his daughter, but also because of Ye Chui's calm demeanor in such occasions - who could remain so calm when being harassed by Cao Xiong and Cao Kang, father and son? Not to mention that Ye Chui was also very witty. He easily resolved Cao Kang's sarcasm with his words and did not forget to retort.
At this moment, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and the person who walked in was Yang Yong, the restaurant manager of Wan Lai Fu. Several beautiful waiters wearing ancient cheongsam were following him with dishes. The dishes that had just been ordered in the box were ready, and he delivered them personally.
Yang Yong would naturally not come in person for ordinary diners, but Lin Zhengdao and Cao Xiong were both big customers, so his waist was bent as much as it could be, with a flattering smile on his face, and then... he saw Ye Chui sitting safely at the table.
Yang Yong's brain suddenly short-circuited. He hadn't noticed Ye Chui leaving the kitchen just now, and he didn't know that Ye Chui had come to this private room. He couldn't help but point his finger at Ye Chui, hesitating, "You... you... "
"Manager Yang, how come you know this young man?" Cao Xiong had sharp eyes and immediately asked with a smile, his eyes showing some ill intentions.
A smile appeared on Lin Zhengdao's face: It seems that another round of confrontation has begun. I wonder how Ye Chui will resolve it
"I know him, this..." Yang Yong's brain was still confused. Just imagine, he just saw Ye Chui demonstrating his excellent cooking skills in the kitchen, and he was confident that he would entertain Mr. Han on behalf of Tian Xiaodu. Now he saw him sitting with two distinguished guests with a calm face. He didn't look like an ordinary person at all. So after Yang Yong's brain turned a few corners, he came to a self-righteous conclusion: Could this Ye Chui be of great origin
Of course, Cao Xiong's obviously malicious expression at this moment made him feel a little strange, but it was true that Ye Chui was sitting at the table with these two big shots to eat, so Yang Yong felt that his guess should be reliable.
He was also a very smart man, and he put on a smile again on his face: "Mr. Ye Chui just showed off his unique skills in the kitchen. I am not being rude. Mr. Ye Chui, please don't mind."
"It's okay. I don't hold grudges." Ye Chui was also amused. It was obvious that Cao Xiong was planning to use Yang Yong to mock him, but it was obvious that Yang Yong's cooperation was not good enough and he didn't understand Cao Xiong's meaning at all.
Yang Yong chuckled and quickly asked the waiter to bring the prepared dishes, which were all Wan Lai Fu's signature dishes, but most of them were vegetarian. After all, the ban on meat had been lifted not long ago, and even in these big hotels, there were not many meat dishes that could be served, and most of them were simple "braised pork" and "stewed pork". These dishes were originally sweet and delicious, but they were a little worse than the famous dish spicy chicken. Lin Wei, the little greedy cat, was not attracted by the dishes on the table. Her attention was all on the plate of spicy chicken.
After preparing a table of dishes, Yang Yong was about to leave, but Cao Xiong stopped him and asked with a sneer, "I just heard from Brother Ye Chui that you planned to let him stay in Wan Lai Fu to work, but Brother Ye Chui refused?"
This is what Ye Chui said just now, and Cao Xiong and Cao Kang subconsciously regarded it as bragging. Now Cao Xiong brought it up deliberately, which means he wanted to make it clear in front of Ye Chui and embarrass Ye Chui.
But Yang Yong didn't know that Cao Xiong's original intention was not understood at all. He thought that Cao Xiong was calling for an explanation - Ye Chui is an excellent cook, a great god. Can your small temple Wan Lai Fu afford to support him
Yang Yong said with a flattering smile, "Oh, I was blind just now. Mr. Ye Chui is a great cook. We at Wanlaifu are qualified to let him stay here. I just proposed that Mr. Ye Chui stay and work at Wanlaifu, but Mr. Ye Chui must have refused. This is as it should be."
—These words were full of compliments to Ye Chui, which made Ye Chui feel a little embarrassed.
The veins on Cao Xiong's forehead bulged quietly. He was a frequent visitor of Wan Lai Fu. Yang Yong was usually smart, but why was he so stupid today? Not only did he misunderstand what he meant, but he also wanted to flatter him - unfortunately, he just flattered the horse's hoof.
Cao Kang was annoyed about the humiliation he had just suffered. He rolled his eyes and snorted coldly before starting to attack. He showed a surprised expression and asked Yang Yong, "Ye Chui just said that he sold this dish to you for 100,000 yuan. Is that true?"
The recipe for spicy chicken was indeed sold for 100,000 yuan. Yang Yong subconsciously replied, "Yes, I spent 100,000 yuan to buy the recipe for spicy chicken. This will become our Wan Lai Fu's signature dish in the future."
"It's actually true!" Cao Kang was surprised. Just now he thought that Lin Wei deliberately colluded with Ye Chui to anger him. He gritted his teeth and said, "This recipe actually sold for 100,000 yuan. Are you confused?"
"ah!?"
Yang Yong was a little confused. He didn't understand why Cao Kang was angry. He felt a little strange. However, as a restaurant manager, the most important thing for him was to understand the thoughts of the diners. He thought, could it be that Cao Kang said that because he thought the recipe was too cheap? That's right, it must be like that! He had just offended Ye Chui in the kitchen. Cao Kang must be seeking justice for Ye Chui...
Thinking of this, Yang Yong hesitated and said, "Then... I'll pay 120,000 for this recipe?"
Cao Kang: “…”
He was stupid again.
In fact, it couldn't be blamed on Yang Yong's lack of cooperation. The main reason was that Ye Chui's previous performance in the kitchen was not like that of an ordinary person. In addition, when he suddenly saw Ye Chui sitting with these bigwigs, he thought that Ye Chui's background was also very extraordinary. With this preconceived idea, he inevitably completely misinterpreted Cao Kang's meaning.
Ye Chui couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect Yang Yong to give him such a face. He smiled and said, "Since we agreed on 100,000 yuan, don't change the price."
"No, that won't do. This spicy chicken is delicious and worth the money. I just felt that 100,000 yuan was a bit of an insult to this dish. Mr. Ye Chui, please don't refuse again." Yang Yong said hurriedly. His expression, as if he wished that Ye Chui could earn tens of thousands more yuan from him, really made people feel happy...
Ye Chui then suppressed his laughter and nodded: "If that's the case, then okay."
Cao Kang didn't expect Yang Yong to "cooperate" with Ye Chui so much. He angrily retorted, "So what if there is a recipe? Can Ye Chui really make the essence of this dish?"
This was meant to mock Ye Chui for only having the ancient recipe and selling it for 100,000 yuan. What was so great about that? However, Yang Yong had a different meaning in his ears. When Ye Chui was about to cook in the kitchen, Yang Yong had said something similar. Now Cao Kang was obviously criticizing his attitude at the time, so he quickly put on a smile and said, "Mr. Ye Chui certainly has more than just a recipe. I'm not exaggerating that he's a great cook. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him to help entertain Mr. Han in a few days, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Cao Kang, but even Lin Zhengdao who was planning to watch the show, and the usually calm Cao Xiong were a little alarmed. They knew Old Han, and this old man was famous for his picky mouth. They also knew that Old Han would come to Xizhou in a few days. By then, the chef might be scolded by this old man. But now Yang Yong told them that the one who would entertain Old Han would be this young man who was only about seventeen or eighteen years old
"Ye Chui, is what Manager Yang said true?" Lin Zhengdao couldn't help but ask Ye Chui.
Ye Chui nodded calmly: "That's right."
"This..." Lin Zhengdao, who had been watching a show from the beginning, was really shocked by Ye Chui this time. He couldn't help but look at Ye Chui carefully again. He looked like an ordinary boy, but this ordinariness revealed a bit of extraordinaryness: he was about to entertain Mr. Han in person, which would make any chef feel proud or nervous, but Ye Chui didn't seem to care about it at all - he was smiling and explaining to Lin Wei how to make the spicy chicken dish.
Cao Kang's face had turned grey and black. If Ye Chu's retort to him before was just a normal attack, then this was definitely a fatal blow...
