Jim is the head chef of the Shengdefu Hotel and an eight-star chef. Not long ago, he represented the hospital in Chinatown and joined Shenghuayuan to participate in the spring banquet, trying to prove on his own that Chinatown cuisine has surpassed Chinese cuisine.
As a result, he met Ye Chui and was beaten badly.
After that, he was detained by China's food police for a period of time because of his involvement in this incident, and then he returned to the United States.
But after he came back, he never showed up again and his mood has been unstable. Huang Yiyuan, who is also a chef at Shengdefu Hotel, is very worried about him. Because since he came back from China, Jim has been locking himself in a kitchen. All he does every day is cook, cook, and cook. Sometimes he even sleeps in the kitchen at night, as if he was possessed by a demon.
Jim is only in his thirties this year, but he has already become an eight-star chef. This kind of talent may seem very scary to many people. In China, Tian Xiaodu, Dong Qian, and Qin Yiyue, who became five-star chefs at the age of thirty, are already praised for their outstanding cooking skills. Even in the international food industry, their talents are top-notch.
But Jim is even more amazing. In his thirties, he is already an eight-star chef.
Eight stars. There is not a single eight-star chef in the whole of China!
Many people regard Jim as a genius. However, only Jim knows, and Huang Yiyuan knows, that Jim is not a genius. He just works too hard and squeezes his entire life into the kitchen.
Huang Yiyuan still remembers that when he was 25 years old and reached the age to take the test for the Level 4 chef certificate, in order to obtain the Level 4 chef certificate, Jim hid in the kitchen for a whole week without coming out. He devoted his entire life to cooking.
In the past month, his level of madness has even surpassed that of before.
In the entire Chinatown, no one can understand Ye Chui's horror better than him, and no one can understand better than him what kind of disaster Ye Chui's arrival will bring to Chinatown, so he needs to make himself stronger in the short term!
At this moment, when Lin Jia Bao was officially defeated and became the fifth restaurant challenged and defeated by Ye Chui, Jim appeared in the lobby of Lin Jia Bao's restaurant.
His image is very different from before. His hair has grown a little long after not being taken care of for a month, and is casually braided. The beard on his face is probably not shaved for a long time, and is a little untidy. His current look does not appear sloppy, but gives off a sense of vicissitudes of life.
Jim walked into the restaurant, and he seemed to have already predicted the result of today's competition - Zhang Jiahui was also an eight-star chef, but Ye Chui's terrifyingness was beyond his reach. He understood that he was the only one who could summarize Ye Chui's trip to Chinatown!
"Oh, our restaurant is closed today. Could you please leave?" The first person to notice Jim was a waiter in the hotel, who hurried over to stop him.
The cooking competition was so important that there were actually only a few close people present, and even there were only a few media reporters. This was something Lin Li had specifically instructed, in order to control the influence of the media on the results of the competition as much as possible.
Jim frowned and wanted to call Huang Yiyuan to come over to help.
At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "He is the chef of Shengdefu, let him stay."
The person who spoke was He Chengqing. Perhaps because he was sitting in the corner, He Chengqing was the first one to see Jim who walked in.
At first she didn't recognize Jim, but after a while she realized that this person was Jim with whom she had had physical contact. In addition to being surprised, He Chengqing felt the completely different aura of Jim now. After he returned from China in failure more than a month ago, he was depressed and frustrated for a while, which made He Chengqing indescribably disappointed, but at this time, that feeling on him had disappeared!
Become full of confidence!
"Chef Jim!?" The waiter was immediately awakened. A thirty-year-old eight-star chef, this reputation is quite amazing. There are only a few eight-star chefs at the Tangren level, and Jim is the best among them.
After being surprised for a moment, the waiter's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he smiled: "Master Jim, why are you here? I... I'll go inform the boss right away."
"No thanks." Jim shook his head and looked towards the competition venue in front of him. "I just came to take a look."
The waiter immediately retreated tactfully.
Jim looked at He Chengqing again, his eyes calm.
Huang Yiyuan mentioned to him some of He Chengqing's attitudes these days, as if she was using him as a tool, but... Jim didn't care. In fact, since he returned to China with He Chengqing and attended the Spring Banquet arranged by her, Jim knew that their relationship was one of mutual use. As for the physical relationship...
Instead, it is just an insignificant embellishment and no one takes it seriously.
"Are you... okay now?" He Chengqing asked Jim hesitantly.
Jim nodded. "Very good."
"Then... are you sure?" He Chengqing continued to ask, with a gleam in her eyes. She would definitely be punished by her superiors at Food King Enterprise for her failure today, but... if Jim could defeat Ye Chui and put an end to this farce of a one-on-one duel with Chinatown, then perhaps the punishment she would receive would be reduced
Jim knew what He Chengqing was asking about, so he smiled and said, "Why do you think I came here?"
After saying this, he walked over.
…
Ye Chui's mutton pot got full marks without any suspense. The most important thing was that Lin Li surrendered early. The fifth match of Ye Chui's challenge against Chinatown officially came to an end. Today's challenge ended here, but many people still had joy and excitement on their faces - of course, this did not include Huang Yiyuan and Mrs. Gao.
Lin Li was also smiling at the moment. He was so happy even after losing the game. This expression naturally made people feel disgusted. However... As a businessman, if he doesn't have a thick skin, how can he survive
Lin Li didn't feel shy at all, instead he felt proud of it.
He said to Ye Chui sincerely, "We at Lin's Pot are convinced by Master Ye's cooking skills. From today on, we at Lin's Pot will promote Chinese cuisine and will never get involved in the independence of Chinatown cuisine. Chinese cuisine is well-deserved of its reputation, and we are honored to be a part of it."
"Haha, I also admire Boss Lin's open-mindedness." Ye Chui said with a smile.
As a traveling reporter, Li Xiuyun naturally would not miss this scene. Although he is a media reporter, he carries a portable camera with him to collect materials. At this moment, he directly recorded this scene completely. This scene can be directly put on the official website of Food Weekly, which will definitely excite the Chinese people.
At the same time, it can also serve as evidence to restrict Lin Li.
Huang Yiyuan and Mrs. Gao's faces were indescribably cold.
Mrs. Gao seemed unable to remain calm any longer, and Huang Yiyuan's eyes were filled with blood.
Lin Li turned a blind eye and was in a good mood. What's wrong with losing the game
Four representative restaurants in Chinatown have already lost before, so it’s not shameful.
So what if two recipes cost a million
In the future, the reputation of Lin's Lamb Pot will definitely rise to a higher level. Moreover, what he bought today were Ye Chui's two perfect recipes. Ye Chui used these recipes to win his signature dish. He bought Ye Chui's recipes as a promotional advertisement. In the future, the dishes of his Lin's Lamb Pot will be more delicious than before. The business will be even better in the future...
Seeing Lin Li so happy, Ye Chui couldn't help but smile. With a sly smile, he leaned close to Lin Li's ear and whispered, "Boss Lin, there's something I forgot to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Lin Li was stunned.
"Regarding the mutton stew... The method of stewing is actually a very general one. The method I told you about before is applicable to all kinds of soups, which can be mutton stew, of course, beef stew, pork stew, chicken stew and even radish stew. Oh, one more thing, the recipe I made and sold to you today is mutton stew in clear soup. Strictly speaking, there are also mutton stew with angelica, mutton stew with radish, mutton stew with codonopsis, etc. Of course, these are not within the scope of the recipe I sold to you."
Lin Li: “…”
He immediately felt cheated...
“You… you…” Was Lin Li still as excited as before? His face couldn’t help but twitch again.
"Haha." Ye Chui smiled faintly and patted Lin Li's shoulder. "Do you still want these recipes? If you do, the price is negotiable. Five hundred thousand each, I'll give you a 10% discount, how about four hundred and eighty thousand?"
Lin Li: “…”
"Oh, there's more." Ye Chui thought of something and said to him, "When will you give me the one million Chinese Yuan you paid for my recipe?"
Lin Li: “…”
Anyway, an internationally renowned gourmet is staying here, so Ye Chui doesn't have to worry about Lin Li refusing to pay him. If he doesn't pay, he will cook Ye Chui's dishes, and he won't be able to keep his restaurant open.
Ye Chui smiled again and ignored Lin Li who was completely dumbfounded. He looked at the gourmets. It was already noon and he wanted to treat them to a meal.
But before he could say anything, Jim suddenly came over.
Jim's appearance attracted many people's attention.
"Jim, you... why are you here?" Huang Yiyuan rushed over.
"Uncle Huang." Jim greeted Huang Yiyuan, then looked at Ye Chui with an indescribable determination in his eyes: "Mr. Ye Chui, I now formally challenge you on behalf of Sheng Defu!"
"Okay." Ye Chui smiled.
"I can give you three days to rest," Jim continued.
"Haha, these gourmets are very pressed for time. Three days is too much time. We don't need that long." Ye Chui smiled and shook his head, "Three hours will be enough."
The fifth game just ended. In three hours, the sixth cooking challenge will begin! (~^~)
