Lu Bing is a five-star chef, and he just obtained this year. In his opinion, this is the greatest achievement of his life. It is very difficult for a chef to move up one star, just like a chef competition in Hainan.
More than 30 five-star chefs compete, and finally the top three are selected to become six-star chefs. This means that it is undoubtedly very difficult to stand out among five-star chefs. Many people are stuck at the five-star level all their lives and cannot advance.
Therefore, Tian Xiaodu, who participated in the five-star chef competition this year and finally won the first place and advanced to the six-star chef, can be said to be Lu Bing's idol. He is very familiar with this fat man who is only 30 years old, so he recognized at a glance that the person who walked in from outside the restaurant was Tian Xiaodu.
Of course, at this moment, Tian Xiaodu didn't look like a distinguished six-star chef who won the first place in the cooking competition. Instead, he looked more like a nanny-like family man—he was carrying a large backpack, holding Wang Shiyu's cartoon schoolbag in his arms, sweating profusely, and holding a bunch of plastic bags in his hands. At this moment, he was saying to Wang Shiyu with a bit of doting: "Xiaoyu, how many times did I tell you on the plane not to run around when you get to Yanjing? Why didn't you listen? What if something happens? You kid!"
Wang Shiyu was held by Ye Chui's hand, and her face was full of pride: "Yanjing is so big, and our hotel is also so big."
Tian Xiaodu looked at the big hotel again. The hotel was being renovated at the moment. There was no trace of grandeur or wealth, but the size of the hall was clearly visible. It was at least twice as big as Wan Lai Fu, where Tian Xiaodu used to be the head chef. Even Tian Xiaodu was a little surprised by such a hotel.
He looked at Ye Chui with some surprise and said, "Master, how much is the monthly rent for a place like this? Can we keep it open?"
"Don't worry about the rent." Ye Chui smiled and shook his head, "I am the owner of this hotel now. This place belongs completely to us."
“What? This…” Tian Xiaodu’s eyes widened.
Little Wang Shiyu looked up at Ye Chui with her innocent face: "Brother, did you rob a bank?"
Ye Chui rubbed Wang Shiyu's head with a little sweat: "It was bought for me by Lin Bofu..." After a pause, Ye Chui said rather embarrassedly, "He said it was Weiwei's dowry."
Tian Xiaodu: “…”
Quiet:"… "
Fan Hong and Lu Bing were shocked again. When they saw Ye Chui renovating the hotel, Fan Hong thought that Ye Chui had persuaded Peng Shun to rent the hotel. Now they knew that he already owned the hotel completely, and... this hotel was bought for him by his girlfriend's father, as a dowry for his daughter...
This immediately made Fan Hong and Lu Bing feel envious and jealous. It was great to have a beautiful, rich and white girlfriend...
However, Ye Chui obviously didn't think this was something worth showing off. He even had a bitter smile on his face and continued to say to Tian Xiaodu, "Anyway, this will be our hotel from now on. Come on, I'll take you to have a look. The yard at the back is being renovated and you can move in in a month. By then, An Jing and Xiao Yu can live here."
An Jing and Wang Shiyu immediately became excited.
"Master, what about Xiaoyu's home-cooked dishes..." Tian Xiaodu thought for a moment and asked. The small restaurant had been open for half a year and he had already developed some feelings for it.
"Don't worry, I have Xiaoyu's home-cooked meals taken care of." Ye Chui said with a smile. Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei would definitely not mind running this small restaurant.
Ye Chui was chatting and completely ignored Fan Hong and Lu Bing. At this time, Tian Xiaodu suddenly thought of something and pointed at Fan Hong, Lu Bing and Ye Chui and said, "Master, who are these two people?"
When Fan Hong saw Tian Xiaodu noticed him, he immediately laughed dryly, walked over and shook hands with Tian Xiaodu regardless of whether he was willing or not, and said with a smile: "Master Tian, right? Hello, my last name is Fan, Fan Hong, and I am also a member of the catering industry..." After saying this, he changed his tone and said, "Master Tian's name is well-known to me..."
"Stop it." Tian Xiaodu pointed at Lu Bing next to him, "You only recognized me when he mentioned my name just now. I heard everything."
"… "
Fan Hong sweated for a moment, but he was also very smart, and immediately continued: "Ha, I have heard of Master Tian's name a long time ago, but I just didn't recognize him... Master Tian, if you join Mr. Ye's restaurant, I wonder how much your salary is?"
"Salary?" Tian Xiaodu was stunned. "I haven't thought about this. Master, how much salary are you going to give me?"
Ye Chui thought for a moment and said, "Our restaurant has just opened. We need to work hard. How about 8,000 a month?"
—Other six-star chefs start from a minimum of 80,000 a month. After all, there are only a few such chefs in the whole of China.
Upon hearing Ye Chui's offer, Fan Hong and Lu Bing were stunned. This really didn't take a six-star chef seriously!
But Tian Xiaodu nodded with a nonchalant smile: "Okay, it's much higher than the price you gave me before, Master."
Fan Hong: “…”
Lu Bing: “…”
He didn't care at all!
Moreover, Tian Xiaodu worked under Ye Chui before, and his salary was even lower than eight thousand
Fan Hong couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his face twitched, and he forced a smile: "Master Tian... Can I offer you a salary of 50,000 yuan?"
Tian Xiaodu finally understood Fan Hong's intention. His fat face turned cold and he said angrily, "Mr. Fan, what do you mean by this? I'm a six-star chef and you're offering me a salary of 50,000 yuan? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Fan Hong was shocked again. Ye Chui will offer you 8,000 yuan. Was this fat guy taught math by the physical education teacher
Fan Hong's face continued to twitch as he said, "Fifty thousand yuan is six times more than eight thousand..."
"That's working under a master. How can it be the same as you?" Tian Xiaodu said with a look of contempt.
"Master?" Fan Hong and Lu Bing realized that Tian Xiaodu had always called Ye Chui "Master". A six-star chef called a teenager "Master"... This was really unbelievable. Fan Hong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then Master Tian, name a price, any amount is fine."
"I'm sorry." Tian Xiaodu refused directly, "The opportunity to work here is priceless."
After he finished speaking, he was no longer in the mood to say anything more to Fan Hong. He looked at Ye Chui and said, "Master, I want to see the kitchen here."
"Then let's go." Ye Chui nodded with a smile, and then looked at Fan Hong and Lu Bing with a faint smile, "You two, the hotel is being renovated. If you want to visit, feel free to do so, but I hope you don't disturb the decorators working here."
After finishing speaking, Ye Chui took Wang Shiyu, An Jing and Tian Xiaodu to the hotel kitchen. Fan Hong and Lu Bing stood in the hall as if petrified, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
"What's going on? How can the first place winner of the chef competition be so devoted to Ye Chui?" Lu Bing said in shock. He suddenly thought of something. "I remember that Mr. Han was a judge in the Hainan competition. Maybe Mr. Han was indebted to Tian Xiaodu, and Mr. Han and Ye Chui have such a close relationship, so Tian Xiaodu is so good to Ye Chui!"
Lu Bing also watched the Hainan competition through TV broadcast. Ye Chui was in the limelight at that time. However, several months have passed and Lu Bing has long forgotten about Ye Chui. If he continues to review the video footage of that time, he will definitely understand how great Ye Chui is.
"So that's how it is. He's really a lucky guy. There are so many benefits to being on good terms with Old Han." Fan Hong also thought that Tian Xiaodu was so devoted to Ye Chu because of Old Han. He walked out of the restaurant with an angry look on his face.
Lu Bing hurriedly followed him: "Mr. Fan, what's going on now?"
"What do you think?" Fan Hong said coldly, "This Ye Chui is just a teenager of 17 or 18 years old, how can I be afraid of him? He is just being arrogant because he has someone backing him up. Humph, since I can't get Hong Lou... then I will open a new restaurant. I don't believe that the advanced restaurant management concepts that I, Fan Hong, learned from abroad will be worse than his!"
"Mr. Fan, you want to..."
"I'm going to open a new restaurant on this street and compete with him for business!" Fan Hong said coldly, his eyes full of malice.
"But they have a six-star chef..." Lu Bing looked worried.
"What are you afraid of? Didn't the Hainan chef competition produce three six-star chefs? I've inquired about it before, and the other two haven't joined the hotel yet. Among them, Qin Yiyue's level is not worse than Tian Xiaodu. I'll contact the other two right now. As long as I offer a high enough price, I can definitely attract them!"
As Fan Hong said this, he saw that Lu Bing looked unhappy. If those two joined Fan Hong's new restaurant, then the position of head chef that Fan Hong promised to Lu Bing would definitely be lost...
Fan Hong patted Lu Bing on the shoulder again: "Master Lu, don't worry, even if you are not the head chef, I will give you enough benefits, at least not less than the head chef!"
"That... okay." Lu Bing reluctantly agreed, "But those two six-star chefs are hard to find. Their contact information is not public."
"What's so difficult about this? I must find them, even if it costs me a lot of connections!" Fan Hong, who had already arrived on the street, turned his head and glanced at the Honglou Hotel building grimly, "As long as I win them over, I don't think you, Ye Chui, have the qualifications to fight me!"
…
Inside the hotel kitchen.
"Oh, by the way, I think it's time to call Dong Qian and Qin Yiyue to come and take a look here."
Ye Cui suddenly thought of this, so he took out his cell phone from his pocket, found Dong Qian and Qin Yiyue’s phone numbers, and dialed them.
During the Hainan chef competition, Ye Chui had already promised them that when Ye Chui's restaurant opened, they would come and join Ye Chui's restaurant...
The three newly promoted six-star chefs are all from Man Han Lou! (~^~)
