"Hey, Ye Chui, what do you want to do with my sister?"
After the phone was connected, it was not Dong Qian who answered the phone, but Dong Youyou. The girl shouted in a somewhat shrill voice: "How dare you. You haven't contacted me for a long time. I'm busy here helping you take care of the business of four restaurants."
The beautiful and sexy figure of Dong Youyou emerged in Ye Chui's mind... Unfortunately, this girl is a lesbian. Ye Chui smiled and asked, "How are the four restaurants over there now?"
"Hehe, business is so good, almost everyone who travels to Sanya, Hainan, comes to our restaurant first. We have the most authentic of Hainan's four famous dishes!" Dong Youyou was indescribably proud. The Hainan chicken rice restaurant she ran before had terrible business, with the number of customers in a month not as many as the number of customers in a day now. It was hard to describe how proud she was.
Ye Chui was very satisfied with the result and continued to ask, "Where is your sister?"
"She is taking a shower. Why are you calling my sister, Ye Chui?" Dong Youyou asked curiously.
"If you have time, you and your sister can come to Yanjing." Ye Chui said with a smile, "She promised me before that she would come to work in my big hotel. Now that the hotel is settled, since she is a chef here, it is natural for her to come here and take a look."
Hearing Ye Chui's words, Dong Youyou seemed a little unhappy: "It's so hard to be with my sister... Ye Chui, is your restaurant big? If it's not big, I won't let my sister go to work with you!"
"Haha, you'll know if it's big or not if you come here and take a look." Ye Chui said with a smile, "Don't worry, I guarantee that he will be a good match for your sister."
"Okay then." Dong Youyou laughed, "Whether we are a good match or not is up to me. Now is the peak tourist season. When work gets easier, I will go to Yanjing with my sister. You have to entertain us well then."
"Don't worry, I'm sure." After telling Dong Youyou the address of the hotel, Ye Chui ended the call with Dong Youyou.
Then he called Qin Yiyue again.
This time, it took a full half minute for Qin Yiyue to answer the call: "Hello, Mr. Ye Chui."
"Qin Yiyue, why did you take so long to answer the phone?" Ye Cui asked curiously.
"I seldom use my cell phone often, so I didn't expect anyone to call me." Qin Yiyue said in a somewhat dull voice, with a bit of apology. He became a six-star chef, so many people must have been looking for him recently. However, only a limited number of people knew his cell phone number, and Ye Chui was one of them.
"Where are you now?" Ye Chui continued to ask.
"I'm in a small restaurant in Lin County, Wangzhou. Mr. Ye Chui, what's the matter with you calling me?" Qin Yiyue asked patiently.
"It's like this, I've already found a big hotel here, and it will be open for business within two months. Would you like to come and take a look?" Ye Chui asked with a smile.
Qin Yiyue was silent for a moment: "Okay, but I have to wait a month."
"That doesn't matter." Ye Chui said with a smile, "But what are you doing in Wangzhou?"
"Working." Qin Yiyue spoke indirectly, "There is a small restaurant here that makes very special buns. I want to learn the craft of making this kind of buns..." After a pause, Qin Yiyue said in a rare joking tone, "Are you surprised?"
"No." Ye Chui said seriously, "As a six-star chef, you are willing to work in a small restaurant in order to learn the skills. I admire your behavior."
In order to improve their cooking skills, they don’t care whether the restaurant they work for is big enough. Only such chefs can truly master the best cooking skills.
Qin Yiyue was silent for a while, not knowing whether he was moved by Ye Chui's words. After a moment, his words came over: "I will come to find you in a month."
"Okay, that's it." Ye Cui said with a smile, told Qin Yiyue the address of the hotel and ended the call.
At this moment, Ye Chui was staying in the hotel's kitchen. Tian Xiaodu was looking at the kitchen. Seeing that Ye Chui had finished his call, he walked over with satisfaction and said, "Master, the kitchen here is bigger than Wan Laifu's restaurant. It's very good."
"Well, I will renovate this place. Since there are three chefs in the hotel, you, Dong Qian and Qin Yiyue, I plan to divide the kitchen into three parts, and find three kitchen helpers for each of you. I think this will be enough." Ye Chui said with a smile. He had already thought of this. If a large hotel wants to operate normally, there must be at least ten chefs.
Honglou had ten chefs before, so twelve chefs is not too many for Ye Chui's big hotel. However, it is not easy to find chefs who are qualified to help Tian Xiaodu and others in the kitchen, so some effort needs to be put in this regard.
Tian Xiaodu nodded: "I think this method is very good."
"In addition, I have decided to divide the hall outside into three parts. The three of you will be responsible for one part each."
Ye Chui continued to talk about his idea: "Our hotel mainly serves Manchu and Han banquets. There are six types of Manchu and Han banquets, namely, the banquet for relatives and vassals, the banquet for retaining ministers, the banquet for the longevity of the emperor, the banquet for the nine hundred, the banquet for the thousand elders, and the festival banquet. The nine hundred banquet and the banquet for the thousand elders are too large for the hotel to host, and the festival banquet is linked to the festival and has seasonal restrictions, so these three banquets can be omitted. As for the banquet for relatives and vassals, the banquet for retaining ministers, and the banquet for the longevity of the emperor, they are three different styles of Manchu and Han banquets. The three of you can choose one each."
"Master, do you want the three of us to compete with each other?" Tian Xiaodu asked with a smile.
Ye Chui smiled and said, "Why, are you scared?"
"How could that be?" Tian Xiaodu also said with a smile, "I have received the true teachings from my master."
"Haha, it's good that you are confident. The competition will probably be fierce then." Ye Chui also said with a smile. The three types of banquets have their own advantages. Competing with each other can not only increase the diversity of the restaurant's dishes, but also greatly improve the cooking skills of the three people. This can be regarded as a contribution made by Ye Chui to the Chinese food culture.
While Ye Chui was talking to Tian Xiaodu, Su Xin had already taken An Jing and Wang Shiyu to the courtyard at the back to have a look. The two were very satisfied with the courtyard. At this time, Wang Shiyu jumped over and said to Ye Chui, "Brother, the courtyard is so big, bigger than the one we lived in when we were in the orphanage. There is also a big locust tree over there. Brother, can you help me build a swing under it?"
"Okay, of course it's fine as long as you like it." Ye Chui touched Wang Shiyu's little head lovingly, and then looked at An Jing again.
An Jing smiled and nodded: "Brother, this place is great. I never thought that one day we could live in a house like this."
"Well, your life will only get better and better in the future." Ye Cui said with a smile.
"Brother, I'm hungry." Wang Shiyu took Ye Chui's hand and said, "Hurry up and make me something delicious. What I miss most during this period is your cooking skills."
Tian Xiaodu glared at him and said, "What do you mean by that? Are the things I made for you during this period not delicious?"
"It's delicious." Wang Shiyu said, "It's delicious, but not as delicious as my brother's."
"..." Tian Xiaodu rolled his eyes. This little thing...
Ye Chui smiled and told Tian Xiaodu and Wang Shiyu to wait quietly at the dining table in the hall, while he went to the kitchen to busy himself.
After a while, Lin Wei and Meng Gang, who were assigned by Ye Chui to deposit money in the bank, came back. As soon as they came back, the girl complained to Ye Chui that it was too troublesome to queue up in the bank to fill out forms and watch the bank clerk count the money. This complaint made Meng Gang next to him speechless - rich girls are different. If it was him who had to deposit so much money into his account, he would be willing to do it no matter how troublesome it was...
Seeing that An Jing and Wang Shiyu had arrived, Lin Wei was naturally indescribably happy. The girls chattered non-stop. After dinner at noon, Lin Wei even volunteered to take An Jing and Wang Shiyu to Yanjing for a stroll. An Jing and Wang Shiyu were naturally happy, and the three of them went out happily.
In the afternoon, Ye Chui and Tian Xiaodu stayed in the hotel, staring at the hotel's decoration. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Han Yuyan's sister suddenly came.
"Senior brother, so you are here. Why didn't you tell me you came to Yanjing?" Han Yuyan complained a little after seeing Tian Xiaodu. Although this sister usually had a cold look on her face towards others, that was actually a protective color. She was still very enthusiastic when she met people close to her, and she obviously treated senior brother Tian Xiaodu as a relative.
"Just arrived at noon." Tian Xiaodu said with a smile.
"Dayu, aren't you supposed to stay with Mr. Han for the next two days? How come you have time to come here?" Ye Cui asked curiously.
"Hey, of course it's a good thing." Han Yuyan pointed at a group of people who were walking in from outside the restaurant and said, "Grandpa contacted a kitchenware supplier that is very famous both at home and abroad, and they are here to help you install the kitchenware."
The kitchen utensils in Honglou Hotel are all half-new, but since the new hotel has opened, the kitchen utensils must naturally be replaced with brand new ones. At the beginning, Mr. Han promised to take charge of the decoration issues, so he naturally would not neglect the installation of the kitchen utensils.
Ye Chui was very happy to see this, but among these people, a skinny old man suddenly walked in front of Ye Chui.
"Hello?" Ye Cui noticed that this old man didn't seem to be in the same group as those kitchenware merchants.
"Hello, Mr. Ye." The skinny old man greeted with a smile, "I am Cleaver Zhang. The best cleaver in China is made by me. Mr. Ye, since you want to open a restaurant, a good cleaver is essential."
"Um?"
Ye Chui was stunned. Is this a salesperson for kitchen knives
"Master." Han Yuyan hurriedly leaned close to Ye Chui's ear and whispered, "This Kitchen Knife Zhang is a very powerful man. The kitchen knives he makes are world-famous. Almost all high-end restaurants in China have kitchen knives made by him. When I was contacting these kitchenware merchants, I happened to meet him. He heard that you were going to open a restaurant, so he followed you."
"Oh? He's actually so famous." Ye Chui immediately became interested. (~^~)
