Mrs. Gao was shocked when she heard Ye Chui's words, and said angrily: "Mr. Ye, what do you mean by this?"
"That's what I mean. I admire Master Jiang's cooking skills. Since her Lahongzhuang has been taken back by you and has no place to go, is there anything wrong with me helping her invest in opening a Maoxuewang store?" Ye Chui said with a smile. He looked at Jiang Yuemei, "Master Jiang, what do you think?"
"Going back to China?" Jiang Yuemei's eyes were a little empty, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.
"Jiang Yuemei is from Chinatown!" Mrs. Gao screamed, "She is a chef in Chinatown and property of Chinatown. You are not qualified to take her away!"
After the ban on meat was lifted in Chinatown, many lost Chinese recipes were carried forward here. Although Chinatowns around the world have a population of only a few million, the food culture is prosperous, with a nine-star chef and four eight-star chefs - you have to know that the highest chef in the whole of China is only a seven-star chef.
Jiang Yuemei is an eight-star chef.
The value of her identity lies not only in that she is the head chef and owner of Lahongzhuang, but also in that she is an eight-star chef.
But now Ye Cui actually wants her to go back to China
How could Mrs. Gao not be angry
However, Jiang Yuemei became even angrier after hearing her words. This fat aunt who always looked kind glared at Madam Gao coldly: "Madam Gao, it's my freedom to go wherever I want. You have no right to control me!"
Well, maybe she was originally a little hesitant about following Ye Chui to China, but after hearing what Mrs. Gao said, Jiang Yuemei made up her mind.
Lahongzhuang was the result of her hard work for more than ten years, but now it was taken back by Mrs. Gao by directly mortgaging the debts, just to win the game. Mrs. Gao's behavior had already hurt her heart, and Mrs. Gao's words made it seem as if she was being treated as Chinatown's property and belongings, which made her even more disgusted.
Do you really think that she has a good temper just because she is fat
Then Jiang Yuemei smiled and looked at Ye Chui: "I was born in China when I was young. I came to the United States with my family when I was sixteen. In fact, I have wanted to go back for a long time. My husband is no longer with us. I couldn't let go of Lahongzhuang at first, but now I have nothing to worry about. It's good to return to my roots."
Jiang Yuemei said this, obviously she has made up her mind.
Han Yuyan, Li Xiuyun and others were all excited. Ye Chui really won back an eight-star chef...
Eight-star chefs are already among the world's most famous chefs. The significance of having an eight-star chef return to China with them is far more precious and impactful than winning this competition.
Ye Chui was very happy and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, when the matter in Chinatown is settled, I will open a Maoxuewang restaurant for you in Huaxia. I believe that under your leadership, this dish will surely flourish."
"No, we can't do this..." Mrs. Gao shouted hurriedly, "You are shamelessly plagiarizing!"
"Madam Gao." Ye Chui's face suddenly turned cold as he looked at the old but cruel man. "You just said that the maoxuewang and lahong that I made are not the same thing. If they are not the same thing, how can there be any plagiarism? You just admitted it directly. Haha, I admit defeat in this game."
Madam Gao's lips trembled. She, Huang Yiyuan, Lin Li and others were all thinking in their hearts: Who among us is playing rogue
Huang Yiyuan stood up at this time and said to Ye Chui coldly: "So, Master Ye, you have admitted defeat in this challenge? Haha, it seems that Master Ye, your journey to challenge Chinatown alone will come to an end here."
Ye Chui looked at Huang Yiyuan as if he was a fool. "That's it? Haha, why stop here? I'm not here to challenge Chinatown, do I have to win one game before challenging the next one? Next time I'll challenge you Lin Jiabao."
"this… "
Huang Yiyuan was speechless. Ye Chui did not set a rule that he had to win one game before moving on to the next one. He just challenged the seven representative dishes of Chinatown one by one according to the distance...
Besides, the most important thing for Ye Chui to challenge Chinatown is not to win, but to make Chinatown understand that Chinatown cuisine originated from China. He just wants to prove this point, which is more important than winning or losing. And now, the chef of Lahongzhuang is going to follow Ye Chui to China. It is like returning to one's roots. Whether from Ye Chui's perspective or from Chinatown's perspective, Ye Chu has won and cannot win anymore.
Madam Gao, Huang Yiyuan, and Lin Li all had frustrated expressions on their faces. They were so concerned about winning or losing the challenge that they forgot Ye Chui's original purpose. They forced Jiang Yuemei to win the game, but ended up making things worse... It was so stupid that it couldn't be more stupid.
Ye Chui nominally lost this challenge, but no one felt that he really lost.
Lahongzhuang was silent for a moment.
Mrs. Gao's indescribable cold voice rang out: "Well, Mr. Ye, you won beautifully this time, and we are convinced. But Master Ye, you have won four games now, and there are three games left. I want to see if you can keep winning."
Of the seven major restaurants in Chinatown, Ye Chui has now won the first four, leaving three restaurants, namely Lin Li's Lin Jia Bao, Sheng De Fu where Huang Yiyuan works, and Mrs. Gao's Wang Fu Noodle House.
Lin Li then said to Ye Chui, "The next restaurant that Master Ye is going to challenge is our Lin Family Pot. I don't know how Master Ye is going to handle this challenge, so please leave your thoughts."
In Ye Chui's opinion, the previous restaurants, including Peng Song, were not very enthusiastic about the independence of Chinatown. Lin Li, Huang Yiyuan, and Mrs. Gao were obviously more focused on the independence of Chinatown cuisine and were the backbone of the Chinatown food industry. Moreover, unlike Chen Tian and Shen Zhongda, these people were not the kind who would easily admit defeat and be convinced by Ye Chui's virtue. Therefore, to challenge these three restaurants, a more direct culinary challenge would be needed - in short, these three restaurants required Ye Chui to crush them directly.
So Ye Chui smiled and said, "I am now formally proposing a cooking challenge to Boss Lin, and I am contacting professional gourmets from the International Gourmet Association to be the judges. How about setting the time in a week?"
Inviting gourmets to be judges in the cooking competition represents a formal cooking competition and will be watched by the International Gourmet Association.
Of course, in order to promote the prosperity of food in this era of food, there are now countless chef competitions and cooking competitions around the world. The International Gourmet Association has even set up a department dedicated to cooking competitions, inviting gourmets from the International Gourmet Association to be judges, which means that the competition will become more formal and fair.
It would also take time to contact the gourmets from the International Gourmet Association, so Ye Chui set the time for a week later, which also allowed time to prepare for the cooking challenge.
Lin Li exchanged glances with Huang Yiyuan and Madam Gao, then nodded: "Okay, we at Lin's Pot have accepted this challenge. I will be waiting for Master Ye's visit at Lin's Pot in a week."
The fifth challenge was thus decided.
Ye Chui smiled and bowed to Madam Gao, Huang Yiyuan, and Lin Li, then prepared to take his men away - unlike when he came, when he left, Shen Zhongda and Jiang Yuemei were also added to the team.
At this time, Madam Gao called Jiang Yuemei again and said coldly, "Should you leave the secret recipe of Lahong behind before you leave?"
"Of course." Jiang Yuemei walked up to Mrs. Gao. The secret recipe was a secret, so of course she couldn't tell it directly in front of everyone. She leaned close to Mrs. Gao's ear and whispered, "The spicy red tofu is actually made from... duck blood."
"What?" Mrs. Gao was stunned when she heard this extremely simple answer.
"If you add salt to duck blood and leave it for a while, it will coagulate into tofu-like shape, and this is the spicy red ingredient," Jiang Yuemei continued.
After Lahong became popular in Chinatown, many people thought that this ingredient was processed with duck meat. After all, this ingredient has a strong duck meat flavor. Maybe it contains some profound cooking secrets, or even some unique preparation methods. But the result is so simple, it is just simple duck blood...
Of course, knowing that it is duck blood does not mean that the glory of Lahong can be restored. After more than ten years of development, Lahong has been deeply connected with Jiang Yuemei. Turning this simple ingredient into a delicious dish requires sophisticated cooking skills. Without Jiang Yuemei's Lahong, it is bound to decline.
Mrs. Gao suddenly became more aware of this after hearing that the so-called spicy red was actually just duck blood.
The golden signboard of Lahongzhuang will be of no value in her hands!
"Yuemei!" Madam Gao's expression suddenly softened. "The debt you owe me can be written off, but please continue to stay in Lahong Manor."
Jiang Yuemei showed a trace of disdain on her fat face: "Mrs. Gao, I am very grateful for your care over the years, but... I am already old, and I have long wanted to go back to the place where I was born."
"You...how can you be like this? You are so ungrateful! Are you worthy of your cooking skills?" Mrs. Gao said angrily.
"Is it worthy of my cooking skills? Haha, in fact, what really attracted me was Master Ye's Maoxuewang. I was convinced by his cooking skills. It was for this dish that I really made up my mind." Jiang Yuemei said calmly, "As for being ungrateful? I don't owe Chinatown anything. I feel at ease."
Having said this, Jiang Yuemei turned around and prepared to leave.
But she thought of something, so she turned to Mrs. Gao and said, "There is one more thing I want to remind you. Maybe Lin Li and Huang Yiyuan didn't realize that you were colluding with Food King Enterprise, but I know it... Mrs. Gao, you are already very old, don't shoot yourself in the foot."
Mrs. Gao's expression suddenly changed drastically.
Jiang Yuemei had no more regrets and left Lahongzhuang with Ye Chui and others.
The fifth match between Ye Chui and Chinatown has officially ended. (~^~)
