"This year, Man Han Lou has won the championship of the Spring Banquet, and it is well deserved. In the end, it received 103 votes, which reached one-fifth of the votes of the Spring Banquet judges. This is a record that has never been achieved. Even Jing Jia Lou, which has won the championship for three consecutive years, only received 78 votes at most. It can be said that Man Han Lou has created history. Mr. Ye Chui, you are also famous in China and are known as the best chef in China. Mr. Ye Chui, who has received these two honors, is only 18 years old this year. I wonder if Mr. Ye can tell us the secret of your success?"
"There is no secret. If there is anything to say, it's just that I like cooking and I happened to get some recipes, that's all."
"It seems that Mr. Ye Chui is very modest. We all know that cooking is not just about liking it and having a recipe. Talent is the most important thing. Now the Internet has called you a young chef. Your fame has surpassed all the stars and singers. You are hailed as the hope for the rise of Chinese food culture."
"I am flattered, but I would be happy if I could contribute a little to the domestic food culture."
"After the Spring Banquet won the championship, the Manhan Building has been upgraded from a five-star hotel to a six-star hotel. What do you have to say about this, Mr. Ye Chui?"
"The success of Manhanlou is inseparable from the joint efforts of all the chefs in the hotel. Of course, I hope that a six-star hotel is not the end of Manhanlou. Since everyone has given this hotel the honor of being the best hotel in China, I certainly hope that the star rating of the best hotel in China will be higher and become the world's top hotel."
"I believe Mr. Ye Chui's hope is also the hope of all of us Chinese. There is another question I really want to know. Now the Internet is going crazy about Shenghuayuan being closed down by the food police after the Spring Banquet, and the owner Gao Yuesheng being detained. The eight-star chef who was previously reported to have joined Shenghuayuan is a chef from Chinatown. He joined Shenghuayuan to participate in the Spring Banquet for a secret. Mr. Ye Chui, what do you think about this?"
"I can't say much about that."
"Oh, let me change the question. Chinatown cuisine is now very popular in the world, even surpassing the fame of Chinese cuisine. What do you think of this situation, Mr. Ye Chui?"
"After all, Chinatown cuisine is derived from Chinese cuisine. It has only been developed for a short century and is not yet fully developed. The current prosperity of Chinatown cuisine is only due to certain foreign environments, but it does not mean that their cuisine is really good. I have decided to go to the United States in the near future to experience the charm of Chinatown in person."
"So, Mr. Ye Chui, you have such a plan? I believe your trip to Chinatown will be very exciting. I will wait and see."
…
On TV, an interview program is being broadcasted by China Channel One. The guests interviewed on this program have always been big names in various fields. Ye Chui is the first chef to be interviewed on this program.
The LCD TV was hung on the wall of Ye Chui's office. Ye Chui was sitting on his office chair watching the show. Han Yuyan was sitting on the armrest of the office chair with great interest, holding a snack snatched from little Wang Shiyu in his hand, watching the show with great interest.
However, the screen suddenly went black at this moment, and it turned out that Ye Chui used the remote control to turn off the TV screen.
“Master…” Han Yuyan suddenly jumped up and looked at Ye Chui.
"Don't watch it. The rest are just some random questions. There's nothing interesting to watch." Ye Chui said awkwardly. In fact, the host then asked some questions about relationships and some gossip on the Internet, such as Ye Chui and Han Lao's granddaughter are in love, and he has a close relationship with Lin Zhengdao's daughter. These topics are obviously not suitable for Ye Chui and Han Yuyan to watch together...
Han Yuyan was still unhappy, wondering if his master would say anything bad about him in the next interview.
Well, I must watch the replay online...
She suddenly thought of something, so she smiled and said to Ye Chui, "By the way, Master, I received a call from a TV station this morning. They want you to be a guest and interview you. Do you want to go?"
"Please help me reject them." Ye Chui shook his head. In his previous life, chefs were not so popular. He wanted more stars than stars. It had only been a week since the Spring Banquet ended, but he had already received no less than twenty interview invitations. In the end, Ye Chui chose the invitation from the most well-known Channel One, and rejected all other TV stations.
When Han Yuyan heard Ye Chui say this, he said "oh" and nodded.
It was almost noon. Ye Chui stood up and stretched, ready to go into the hotel to take a look. Han Yuyan followed Ye Chui and suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Master, you are going to Chinatown, which you have never been to before. When are you leaving?"
"Let's wait for a while, until the business of Manhanlou stabilizes..." Ye Chui said with a smile, "Besides, if we go to challenge Chinatown, we must have some understanding of the situation in Chinatown, right? I have asked Xing Sen to help me prepare and collect information about Chinatown."
"I see." Han Yuyan nodded, and then continued with a smile: "But recently our Manhanlou business has been really good. Because of our performance at the Spring Banquet, we are now the most well-known restaurant in the country. Moreover, after the Spring Banquet, the pig intestines, pig tongues, pig trotters and other things that were originally thrown away are now regarded as delicious ingredients. I heard that there is a big market for them now."
Things like pig intestines, pig tongues, and pig trotters are originally delicious ingredients. The whole pig banquet that Ye Chui prepared for Chunyan also played a certain enlightening role, making everyone understand that these things are treasures.
This is also what Ye Chuilei sees, increasing the diversity of ingredients.
"Master, our hotel's daily turnover has exceeded 400,000 in the past two days, and reservations have been scheduled for half a month later..." Han Yuyan continued to say proudly beside Ye Chui. The hotel was so popular, and she, as the hotel manager, also felt a sense of accomplishment.
The two of them came downstairs while talking. The lobby outside was crowded with people. It was already noon, the time for people to eat. Every seat was packed with people. That was not all. There were still a bunch of people queuing at the door...
As soon as Ye Chui came down, An Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat off her forehead and rushed to Ye Chui to complain: "Master, there are too many people. It's so annoying. Let's hire a few people to drive them out of the door. If they refuse to leave, we can beat them up. We can also raise a few black clams and tie them to the door to bite whoever they catch. The restaurant business is so good, are we going to let people live..."
Ye Chui: “…”
Han Yuyan: “…”
I've never heard of a restaurant hiring thugs to beat people up because there were too many customers...
Ye Chui rubbed An Xiaoxiao's head vigorously and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You are not needed here. Go play with Xiaoyu and the others."
"It's okay, I can help." An Xiaoxiao immediately said in a very sensible manner. Today is the end of the semester and several girls are at home.
Ye Chui was deeply relieved to hear An Xiaoxiao's words...
Then Han Yuyan said, "Xiaoxiao, you are staying here because you don't want to do your homework, right? Have you done your homework? You have to hand it in for school tomorrow."
An Xiaoxiao's face immediately turned bitter: "The homework is very difficult..."
"..." Ye Chui rolled her eyes in annoyance. It turned out that her little apprentice was helping here just because he didn't want to do his homework. She patted Han Yuyan's back and said, "If you don't know how to do it, you can ask Weiwei quietly. You must finish your homework. Go ahead. Lunch will be served later."
"Oh..." An Xiaoxiao had no choice but to nod gloomily, then turned and walked away.
Ye Chui and Han Yuyan smiled at each other, and then looked at the crowded lobby of the restaurant. Suddenly, they couldn't help but sigh like An Xiaoxiao: With such good business, is there any chance of survival for people...
Just when Ye Chui was about to go to the backyard to check on Lin Wei and the others, a quarrel suddenly came from the direction of the hotel's entrance. Ye Chui frowned, looked over curiously, and found that one of the two parties in the dispute was the hotel's head waiter Pan Qingguo, and the other was two guests, one of whom was a foreigner with a big belly.
The foreigner was looking around the hotel with a haughty look on his face, and the one who was arguing with Pan Qingguo was a middle-aged Chinese man who came with the foreigner.
Seeing this, Ye Chui immediately walked over curiously, and Han Yuyan also hurriedly followed Ye Chui.
"What's wrong?" Ye Cui asked curiously.
"Boss." Pan Qingguo saw Ye Chui coming over and hurriedly said to Ye Chui, "These two guests don't want to queue and don't have a reservation. They insist that we help them arrange seats and also want a private room. Boss, what do you think..."
"Hello, Boss Ye Chui." The middle-aged man hurriedly walked to Ye Chui's side and said, "I am a director of the Gourmet Association. My name is Qi Huaidong. This is a gourmet from the United States, Mr. Channing Tatum. Mr. Channing is very interested in the Man Han Banquet at Man Han Restaurant. Boss Ye, please help us arrange a private room."
Qi Huaidong said this in a matter-of-fact tone.
And Channing Tatum also showed a very cold and arrogant expression, and it seemed that he had no intention of getting to know Ye Chui. He just curled his lips at Ye Chu indifferently, which was considered a greeting.
Ye Chui won the reputation of China's No. 1 Restaurant, China's No. 1 Chef, and Young God Chef, but this fame is only domestic after all. Channing Tatum, as a foreign gourmet, does not seem to be impressed by Ye Chui's fame and does not have enough respect for him.
In this case, Ye Chui naturally smiled faintly, and then said to Qi Huaidong politely: "I'm sorry, the seats and private rooms in the hotel are full. If you didn't make a reservation in advance, please go to the outside to queue up first..." (~^~)
