"This Ye Chui is just a teenager, but he actually did such a thing, setting up a ring and challenging all the chefs in China with a full banquet as the stakes. Hey, he actually did such a thing to get himself killed. It seems that I have overestimated him before." Jim, who was also wearing a bathrobe, wiped his wet hair with a towel and sat down next to He Chengqing, with one hand on He Chengqing's shoulder affectionately. "The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This is an old saying in your China. Ye Chui's cooking skills may be ranked among the top chefs in China, but if he is so ostentatious, he will definitely arouse public anger. He is finished."
"He brought this upon himself." He Chengqing said coldly, "But this alone is not enough to offset what he did to my brother. This is only the first step. Step by step, I will make him fall into the abyss with no end in sight and he will never have a chance to turn over again!"
The reason why Bai Qiusong made things difficult for Ye Chui was because of He Chengqing, who was behind the scenes. She got some leverage over Bai Qiusong and used it to threaten Bai Qiusong to do things for her.
"So what are you going to do next?" Jim asked curiously, looking at the woman beside him with a vicious face.
"I will find someone to challenge him and bet on the pork recipes in his Manchu Han Banquet. I will take away all the pork dishes in the Manchu Han Banquet before the Spring Banquet is held. Then I will see what he is going to do at the Spring Banquet!" He Chengqing said coldly.
Ye Chui's cooking skills are so good because of the Manchu-Han Banquet. For a chef, the Manchu-Han Banquet is like a peerless secret manual for a martial arts master. As long as one can get the Manchu-Han Banquet, he can be called a super chef - this is something that He Chengqing and many others have recognized.
When Ye Chui competed with others using the Manchu Han Banquet, he would make the other party sign a confidentiality agreement and then teach them the recipe before the competition. Since the dishes were cooked according to the recipe, there would not be any difficulty. Those famous chefs were just like the peerless masters in martial arts novels, as long as they were given the recipe, they could immediately make delicious dishes.
What makes Ye Chui superior to other chefs is that he has a recipe. If this condition is taken away, what will he be
Jim suddenly thought of the competition with Ye Chui in the suburban villa. He still couldn't forget that bowl of sad and ecstatic rice. He even had some regrets that he couldn't eat such delicious food...
At this moment, he looked at He Chengqing with a vicious look on his face as if he was about to do something to Ye Chui, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, is Ye Chu's cooking skills really only because of the Manchu Han Banquet recipe
His cooking skills...seems to be more than just recipes.
However, Jim did not say these words to He Chengqing. He sneered. This woman did not know his real purpose. His goal was to win the Spring Banquet. As long as he could win the Spring Banquet, he did not care about other things. No matter what, any obstruction that He Chengqing made to Ye Chui before the Spring Banquet would be beneficial to him...
…
"Master, you are now a hot topic on the Internet. It seems that everyone is talking about you." After the restaurant closed in the evening, Ye Chui wanted to say goodnight to An Jing Wang Shiyu, but found An Xiaoxiao lying in front of the computer desk in the room surfing the Internet. When she saw Ye Chui, she quickly pointed at the screen and said, "Look, almost every food forum and food blog is talking about you. Master, you are famous. You can make a living by this even if you don't run a restaurant in the future."
"What do you know, little brat?" Ye Chui said, rolling his eyes.
"Tsk, I know about this, it's called hype. When I was a beggar, I met a beautiful sister who wanted to attract the media's attention. She dressed up shabby and played guitar on the street. She also told people that she was a bankrupt rich second generation. She immediately attracted a lot of attention." An Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Guess what she is like now? She became a frequent guest on TV shows because of this incident. Some people even released records and made movies for her."
"Brother is not deliberately hyping it up, right?" Little Wang Shiyu came close to Ye Chui, looked up at him with her sleepy face and said.
Ye Chui smiled and rubbed Wang Shiyu's head: "Of course it's not hype, it's just that the current sensation is a little beyond my expectation."
Ye Chui has become a hot topic on the Internet. Most of the comments about him are arrogant and tend to be on the negative side. After all, it is difficult for a seventeen-year-old boy to have a good impression of him by suddenly standing up and saying that he would challenge all the chefs in China with a full banquet. After the interview program "Food Online" was broadcast, Han Yuyan has been paying attention to the comments on the Internet and reported them to Ye Chui. Ye Chui is fully aware of all of this.
But he doesn't care much. It's the Internet. He believes that these comments will change direction soon.
"Then Master, are you afraid of being challenged by other chefs?" An Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yes, yes, brother, will you be defeated by others, and then our whole family will have to follow the young lady to become beggars?" Wang Shiyu asked Ye Chui in a baby voice.
Ye Chui sweatdropped at first, then smiled faintly: "If they were afraid, Manhan Building wouldn't be open. Don't worry, there won't be any problems. If I want to win, I have to see if they have the ability first."
"Brother, I believe in you." An Jing said with a smile, her face full of confidence in Ye Chui.
Ye Chui smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's late, you should go to bed."
After leaving An Jing Wang Shiyu's room, Ye Chui walked into the study room that was converted from the main house. In the study room, Han Yuyan and Lin Wei were also guarding their computers, tapping on the keyboard with angry expressions on their faces. Ye Chui smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing?"
"Are you arguing with those people online? They're going too far!" Han Yuyan glanced at Ye Chui and continued to look at the laptop screen, his face puffed up a little. "They said you were the same as those who deliberately hyped themselves up, saying that you said those things in the interview just for fame. It really pissed me off."
"Yes, it's really infuriating. Some people's words are particularly rude!" Lin Wei put the notebook directly in front of Ye Chui, pointed at a message on a post and said to Ye Chui, "Look, they are too much."
Ye Chui scanned the comments after the post. This post was a pinned post on a famous domestic food forum. The content of the post was what Ye Chui said on Food Online. There were more than two thousand comments now, and most of them thought that Ye Chui was just trying to attract attention.
"Is it so great to have a full banquet? This kid named Ye Chui thinks too highly of himself."
"Hey, I think this guy is courting death. He's betting on a full banquet. I want to see how he loses everything."
"The reason why our Chinese food culture is not good is because we don't have a recipe. If there was a recipe, Ye Chui would never be a match for those great chefs. I think he overestimates himself."
“Hype, this is hype!”
"I want to see how he ends up!"
"I've paid attention to Ye Chui before, and I thought he was a pretty good chef. I didn't expect him to say something like this. I'm really disappointed!"
…
In the vast army of critics, the rebuttals of Lin Wei and Han Yuyan seemed insignificant, and often when they left messages saying good things about Ye Chui, they would immediately cause controversy. The two girls had been arguing about this matter for the whole night, and Ye Chui glanced at the messages and smiled calmly. He closed his notebook with a snap and said with a smile: "The Internet is such a place, and what I did does make people feel like hype when they hear it suddenly. Why are you angry with them? Just let the facts speak for themselves when the time comes."
"But reading these comments is so infuriating." Han Yuyan continued with some annoyance.
"They will all shut up then." Ye Chui said with a smile, reaching out to close the notebook in front of Han Yuyan. "It's almost eleven o'clock. You two should go to bed quickly. You have to get up early to work tomorrow."
Ye Chui persuaded them a few more times before Han Yuyan and Lin Wei reluctantly put down their computers and went back to their bedrooms. Ye Chui thought about it, then sat down in front of the computer and started browsing the news about himself.
It was impossible to say that he didn't care at all, but Ye Cui was able to remain completely calm when looking at those messages full of contempt. He soon thought of a consequence that this matter might bring: after this challenge was over, Ye Cui would probably become the most famous chef in China.
"When I challenge Chinatown as the most famous chef in China, it should cause a sensation in the whole world, right?" Thinking of this, Ye Chui couldn't help laughing. "My behavior will attract the attention of the whole world. By then, Chinatown will no longer have a chance to turn things around. It should just honestly admit that it is a branch of Chinese food culture."
Ye Chui was not too worried about the upcoming challenge. In his previous life, he earned his reputation as the God of Cookery by fighting his way through blood and gore. However, in this world, Chinese chefs were still somewhat declining, and no chef better than him had appeared yet!
Ye Chui's speech on Food Online caused a series of effects. The most direct effect was that Manhanlou's business suddenly became popular. Ye Chui's behavior was indeed similar to hype, which greatly increased Manhanlou's popularity. Many people wanted to try Manhanlou's full banquet. The next morning, the orders received by Manhanlou began to skyrocket. The popularity even exceeded when it first opened.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the first chef to challenge appeared.
"I am Zheng Yun, the head chef of Yanjing Shixiang Garden."
The visitor was a middle-aged man in his forties. Shixiangyuan is a six-star hotel, and Zheng Yun is also a six-star chef. After meeting Ye Chui, he directly told him the purpose of his visit: "I have always been very interested in the braised pork in red sauce in the Manchu-Han Banquet, so I want to challenge this dish. Please give me the recipe of this dish, Master Ye. In half a month, I will use this dish to compete with you, Master Ye!" (~^~)
