When he heard An Xiaoxiao tell him that she was fired, even though Ye Chui had seen a lot of storms and was calm and composed even when provoked by Gao Yuesheng and Jim, he was stunned for a moment.
He stood in front of An Xiaoxiao blankly and confirmed, "Fired?"
An Xiaoxiao became even more nervous. She clutched the hem of her clothes with both hands and said in a low voice with a worried look on her face: "Actually, you can't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame the teacher. I was sleeping well in class, but he insisted on waking me up, so I accidentally blew a book on his face..."
Ye Chui: "…It's wrong to sleep in class."
"You can't blame me for this." An Xiaoxiao said righteously, "It's because the teacher's lectures were too boring. I couldn't understand them at all, and I fell asleep without realizing it..."
Ye Chui: “…”
He was a man who had seen a lot of things and was not surprised by anything. But now he felt that he could not calm down in a short time. After a while, Ye Chui reached out to pat An Xiaoxiao's shoulder and told her what the class was about. As a result, his action obviously caused many people to misunderstand. Han Yuyan hugged Ye Chui from behind and said, "Master, calm down and don't hit Xiaoxiao..."
The fat man Tian Xiaodu suddenly appeared from nowhere, and hurriedly stopped An Xiaoxiao behind him. He said to Ye Chui, "Master, if you have something to say, please talk to him nicely instead of hitting him. Xiaoxiao has never lived in a normal environment since he was a child. It is understandable that he is unfamiliar with the atmosphere of the class and feels a little repulsive. I will find a way to talk to the principal of his school..."
An Xiaoxiao also hid behind Tian Xiaodu, looking like a frightened little rabbit, and said pitifully: "Master, I won't dare to do it again..."
Although it was afternoon, there were still several tables of guests sitting in the hall. They were all watching the master-disciple ethical drama performed by Ye Chui and his three apprentices with curiosity.
Ye Chui was sweating profusely: "I didn't mean to hit anyone, why did you do that? Da Yu, let go, you're strangling me so hard that I can't breathe..."
"Oh." Han Yuyan released her arms around Ye Chui, but she still stood nervously beside him, in case he suddenly went berserk and hit someone.
Ye Chui rolled his eyes, then glared at Tian Xiaodu and said, "Why are you so protective of Xiao Xiao? Why didn't I realize that you were so close to Xiao Xiao before?"
Tian Xiaodu smiled a little embarrassedly: "You don't know Xiaoyu, she specifically asked me to help her this afternoon, otherwise she would not be nice to me in the future..."
Ye Chui: “…”
An Xiaoxiao came out from behind Tian Xiaodu and continued to pull Ye Chui's sleeve pitifully: "Master, you are not angry with me anymore, right?"
Ye Chui stretched out his hand and ruffled An Xiaoxiao's fluffy short hair: "Forget it this time, but don't do it next time. How many times have I told you before entering the school, can the teacher just hit you casually?"
"This is what Xiaoyu said, teachers are the enemies of students..." An Xiaoxiao said underestimated.
"... In the future, don't discuss these things with Xiaoyu. Be careful not to be led astray by her. Learn more from An Jing and Weiwei in this regard." Ye Chui stared at An Xiaoxiao with some sweat, then glanced at Tian Xiaodu, "You and your sister-in-law should take care of Xiaoyu in the future. If she continues like this, she will definitely become a bad girl."
Tian Xiaodu laughed: "Actually, I think it's pretty good." Seeing that Ye Chui looked unhappy, he hurriedly said, "What should we do next about this little thing?"
"She must finish high school." Ye Chui was very determined about this. "I'll talk to the principal of their school later."
"If you can't do it, ask my grandfather for help. With my grandfather's name, other people will more or less give him face." Han Yuyan also said on the side. Seeing that Ye Chui was finally no longer angry, the elder sister was relieved. She pulled An Xiaoxiao to her side and whispered to An Xiaoxiao: "Tell me about what happened today later. Why did you smear the teacher's face with textbooks? I always wanted to do this when I was in school..."
Ye Chui glared at Han Yuyan, but Han Yuyan was not afraid of Ye Chui. He smiled and ran away with An Xiaoxiao.
"..." Ye Cui couldn't help but sweating again.
Tian Xiaodu then asked him about the sky-high priced pig. Ye Chui smiled and told him what happened today. He learned that Ye Chui had a cooking competition with Shenghuayuan, and Ye Chui made the opponent admit defeat without even tasting the opponent's dish. Tian Xiaodu felt proud of it, but also a little disappointed. He regretted not going over with Ye Chui and Han Yuyan to take a look today.
The restaurant was extremely busy, but only at noon and in the evening. The rest of the time was quite leisurely. The kitchen assistants could prepare the dishes that needed to be prepared, and the head chefs such as Tian Xiaodu, Dong Qian, and Qin Yiyue could relax. Ye Chui discussed the spring banquet with them. In fact, Ye Chui had already decided on what dishes to prepare for the banquet, and the discussion at this time was just to describe the styles of these dishes to them.
The day turned into evening in a blink of an eye. Han Yuyan found the phone number of the principal of An Xiaoxiao's school. Ye Chui called the principal himself, but the principal was obviously very disappointed with An Xiaoxiao and euphemistically claimed that An Xiaoxiao was not suitable to study in their school. After all, Ye Chui did not have enough prestige in this regard, so it seemed that he had to seek help from Mr. Han.
In the evening, a guest suddenly visited the Manhan Building.
"Ms. Sheng?" Ye Chui was a little surprised when he saw the elegant middle-aged woman who appeared in the hotel lobby. "Why are you here?"
Sheng Qiuyue, whom Ye Chui had met at a suburban villa today, suddenly came to Manhan Building. She is the owner of Jingjialou, which has been shining at the Spring Banquet for three consecutive years and has been hailed as "the No. 1 Restaurant in China". Ye Chu also has a very good impression of her, but he doesn't know why she suddenly visited Manhan Building.
"Hello, Boss Ye. As a colleague in the hotel, I have long wanted to visit Manhanlou." Sheng Qiuyue's voice was filled with a sense of elegance. She smiled and said to Ye Chui, "The original owner of Honglou, Peng Hong, was also an acquaintance of mine. After he transferred Honglou to Boss Ye, I thought it was going to decline. I didn't expect it to have a new look now. It's a cause for celebration. It seems that Manhanlou will be the number one hotel in China in the future."
There was some politeness in these words, but it made people feel indescribably comfortable. Ye Chui smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Ms. Sheng, but I wonder why you came here today?"
"Boss Ye, can we find a quieter place?" Sheng Qiuyue suggested.
"Of course, Ms. Sheng, please follow me to the box upstairs."
Ye Chui knew that Sheng Qiuyue must have come here for something important, so he took her to a private room upstairs. Sheng Qiuyue did not rush to say anything, but ordered a few dishes first. After all, she ran a restaurant and was a pioneer in China's catering industry. She was also quite knowledgeable about the Manchu-Han banquet. She smiled and ordered several light dishes such as Buddha's Hand Golden Roll, Polygonum Multiflorum Cubes and Chicken, and Pearl Tofu.
Soon, the dishes were served. Ye Chui smiled and said, "Ms. Sheng, I would like to thank you for your help today. Do you like these dishes?"
Sheng Qiuyue did not refuse and used chopsticks to pick up a piece of diced Polygonum multiflorum and chicken and put it into her mouth. This diced Polygonum multiflorum and chicken is a simple and common medicinal cuisine. The main ingredients are Polygonum multiflorum and chicken. The combination of the two ingredients brings out the best in each other and has many magical effects, which can be used as a medical aid. After tasting a bite of the chicken, Sheng Qiuyue nodded with satisfaction: "The chicken tastes very delicious, and it is mixed with the sweet and bitter taste of Polygonum multiflorum. The taste is extraordinary. This dish is a classic dish in the Manchu-Han Banquet. We in Jingjialou have also tried to make it, but the taste is not as authentic as this one. Boss Ye, your Manchu-Han Banquet is indeed worthy of its name."
"As long as Ms. Sheng finds it delicious, that's fine." Ye Chui nodded with a smile and continued the previous topic, "Ms. Sheng, what exactly brought you here this time?"
Sheng Qiuyue put down her chopsticks, looked at Ye Chui and said, "Mr. Ye, what do you think of Jim, the new eight-star chef at Shenghuayuan?"
"Jim? His cooking skills are indeed very good. With his help, Shenghuayuan will naturally shine at this spring banquet." Ye Chui said strangely, "But, Ms. Sheng, this is definitely not what you want to talk about, right?"
Sheng Qiuyue nodded: "What I want to say is that he is a Chinese chef. I have already asked Boss Gao about this today. He is very confident in Jim and thinks that Jim joined his Shenghuayuan just to promote Chinese cuisine, but I don't think so."
Ye Chui thought of Jim's performance today and frowned, "Does he have ulterior motives? I can see that he is very proud of Chinatown cuisine, but lacks sufficient respect for Chinese cuisine."
"That's right. Actually, when Jim just joined Shenghuayuan, Boss Gao invited me to dine at Shenghuayuan. I met Jim at that time, and I felt that his intention was not simple. Nowadays, there are many disputes between Chinese cuisine and Chinatown cuisine. Chinese food culture has a long history. Although Chinatown cuisine is inherited from Chinese cuisine, it has now become a world of its own. This is a fact. After that, I asked someone to help me investigate this Jim, and then I found out that his purpose of coming to China this time was indeed not simple." Sheng Qiuyue said cautiously.
Ye Chui asked curiously: "What is his purpose?"
"There are now ten recognized cuisines in the world: French, Italian, American, Japanese, Southeast Asian, Greek, Korean, German, and Mexican. Of course, Chinese cuisine is one of them, and it has been certified by the International Food Center." Sheng Qiuyue continued, "Among them, Chinese cuisine is the most declining because of the recipe gap. Chinatown cuisine, which is inherited from Chinese cuisine, has a higher reputation than Chinese cuisine, so the chefs in Chinatown want to distance themselves from Chinese cuisine and certify it as the eleventh cuisine in the world!"
