Huang Yiyuan and Jim were both stunned, with their worldviews completely reset.
Of course, Jim had already guessed about this situation. Shengdefu's Tang's Shredded Pork was recognized by Ye Chui as a famous Chinese dish, Beijing-style Shredded Pork with Sauce. And when Han Yuyan came out of the kitchen just now, he shouted, "Why did he bring out a plate of shredded pork with fish flavor?" This is enough to explain the problem.
Jim was mentally prepared, but it was still a little hard for him to accept it.
But the current situation is unacceptable but must be accepted.
"Oh, right." Ye Chui thought for a moment and continued, "In fact, the fish-flavored pork shreds here are not a perfect version. There are still some flaws and some ingredients are missing."
"What is it!?" Huang Yiyuan and Jim asked almost in unison.
"Fungus fungus." Ye Chui continued with a smile, "You only need a little bit of the dried fungus that has been soaked in water. Besides enhancing the flavor, the black color of the fungus matches the red color of the whole dish, which can make the appearance of the dish more perfect. Of course, the most important thing is that it will taste better."
Huang Yiyuan and Jim remained silent, but they were thinking about the feasibility of this approach. To outsiders, their silence seemed more like they had nothing to say and were completely convinced by Ye Chui.
For a dish to become the representative dish of Chinatown, it is the result of a long period of accumulation, involves many factors, and even requires human operation. It is a kind of business.
Having a signature dish will be very helpful for the reputation of the restaurant. In fact, in many ways, the Man Han Banquet dishes in Man Han Building can surpass Fish-flavored Shredded Pork or Mapo Tofu in many aspects of pure deliciousness. However, these dishes are not well-known now, or they are not well-known individually. Only when they are put together and called the Man Han Banquet do they become known to all Chinese people. This is because they lack the accumulation of time.
Fish-flavored shredded pork, Mapo tofu, Laobian dumplings, Maoxuewang and even General Tso's chicken, although these are extremely delicious dishes in the Chinese cuisine system, they are by no means the most delicious dishes. They can become famous in Chinatown because of the accumulation of time and the painstaking efforts of these people.
But now, they have to admit that all they have done has only added to the reputation of Chinese cuisine.
Regarding the independence of Chinatown cuisine, Huang Yiyuan's will was stronger than Lin Li, Peng Song and others, but now they have lost, and they have to face the fact: admit that Chinatown's origin is inherited from China.
They should admit it, but Huang Yiyuan didn't want to admit it.
Jim lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Huang Yiyuan's face flashed with anger, and he lowered his voice and said, "Ye Chui, don't think that I will admit that Shengdefu belongs to Huaxia like everyone else, and Wang's shredded pork belongs to Huaxia cuisine. I will never admit it even if I die!"
Ye Chui sneered, "Mr. Huang, this is not a question of whether you will admit defeat or not. I have already won, and the BBC Food Channel will later broadcast news about the similarities between Hua Xia Fish-fried Shredded Radish and Wang's Shredded Pork. Even if you refuse to admit it, Sheng De Fu will eventually be labeled as a Chinese cuisine. You know, you can't stop this."
Perhaps this fact was too infuriating, or perhaps Ye Chui's current appearance was too irritating, Huang Yiyuan's face flushed red, and he clenched his fists tightly, looking like he would rush up to fight with Ye Chui at any time.
Jim hurriedly and quietly pulled Huang Yiyuan's arm.
Han Yuyan showed a vigilant expression on his face and moved closer to Ye Chui.
At this moment, Han Yuyan suddenly thought of something and her eyes suddenly widened.
"Master, I seem to know why He Chengqing went crazy." As she said this, Sister Han looked at Jim with an unhappy look.
"What's wrong?" Ye Cui looked at his second disciple.
“The glass of water.”
"water?"
Han Yuyan nodded: "When I received a call from the senior brother telling me that the fish was fried with shredded radish, I casually put the glass of water on the coffee table. Later, when I went back, the glass of water was empty. Someone drank the glass of water. He Chengqing was sitting around the coffee table at the time. I think He Chengqing must have drunk the glass of water..."
As he said these words, Han Yuyan looked at Jim with an increasingly hostile look.
That glass of water was originally given to them by Jim. If He Chengqing went crazy because of drinking that glass of water, then if they drank the water, they would also go crazy, and naturally the game could not go on.
Thinking about how Han Yuyan and Ye Chui had both put the cup of water to their lips and almost drank it, they both felt a chill at the same time.
Although Han Yuyan's words were not loud, at least the people around him heard them.
Jim was stunned, but his face was a little confused.
Mrs. Gao's body was shocked. She finally understood why He Chengqing went crazy...
That cup of water went around and around, and finally fell into He Chengqing's mouth. Is this... karma
"That kind of medicine!" Jim suddenly thought of the pills He Chengqing gave him before the game. The kind of medicine that can stimulate the nerves and make people become supermen in an instant, the stimulants used by chefs. Thinking of He Chengqing's condition, doesn't he look like a person who has taken an overdose of drugs and gone crazy
He understood something and immediately looked around, looking coldly at the long-haired waiter who had brought him the glass of water.
The waiter was standing not far away, his face pale and trembling slightly.
She knew what was going on with He Chengqing before Han Yuyan. In fact, she was standing in the distance and watching when He Chengqing drank the glass of water. She was quite surprised at that time and didn't understand why the glass of water she handed to Jim was in He Chengqing's hand. Then when He Chengqing went crazy, she vaguely realized the seriousness of what she had done.
Now, meeting Jim's cold gaze, the last bit of her defense finally collapsed. She hurried over with a sad face and said with regret, "I'm sorry... I... I didn't expect this... This was all Madam Gao asked me to do. She asked me to give the glass of water to Chef Jim... She said this glass of water is good for you, I... I didn't think too much about it."
So, everyone's eyes turned to Mrs. Gao at the same time.
Mrs. Gao was over sixty years old. Unlike old man Han who was strong and old, she looked very weak, skinny, with wrinkles all over her face and gray hair. Just now, He Chengqing went crazy and pushed her to the ground, which almost took her life, making her look extremely embarrassed.
When she met everyone's gaze, panic showed on her face for a moment, but then she regained her composure.
"Yes, that glass of water was for Jim," Mrs. Gao admitted.
There were cameras filming the scene, so the reason why He Chengqing went crazy could be easily found out. Anyone who was not a fool could trace the cause back to Mrs. Gao, so she simply admitted it, and she was not afraid to admit it at all.
"Why do you have to do this?" Huang Yiyuan growled with great anger on his face. Jim almost drank the glass of water. Seeing He Chengqing going crazy, he shuddered in his heart. If it was Jim who went crazy...
"That medicine was given to me by He Chengqing." Mrs. Gao continued.
So everyone fell silent.
This... Is this the so-called karma
Ye Chui thought this cycle was very interesting, but he was very unhappy because he and Han Yuyan had almost drunk the glass of water. He said coldly: "No matter who gave you the medicine, you are the mastermind of this matter. This cannot be changed. You have to pay the price for what you did."
"No, I'll be fine." Madam Gao sneered and looked at Ye Chui, "He Chengqing is from Food King Enterprise."
"So what?" Ye Cui asked puzzledly.
"She is a failure in her work and has been abandoned by Food King Enterprise." Madam Gao continued in a cold and ruthless voice, "And my value is far higher than Food King Enterprise, so Food King Enterprise will not let anything happen to me. No matter how much harm He Chengqing suffers, I will be safe in the end. Food King Enterprise has the power to do that."
Ye Chui once met with Andrew from Food King Enterprise. At that time, Andrew said that as long as Ye Chui joined them, he could deal with He Chengqing at will.
In their eyes, He Chengqing is just a chess piece, a chess piece that can be discarded at will.
Understanding this fact, Ye Chui took a deep breath at the ruthlessness of Food King Enterprise, and at the same time, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness for He Chengqing...
No matter what you do, you need to find a good organization...
At this moment, Huang Yiyuan suddenly woke up from a dream and thought of something, and asked in surprise: "Mrs. Gao, what is your relationship with Food King Enterprise!?"
Neither Huang Yiyuan, Jim, nor even Lin Li and Peng Song knew about the connection between Mrs. Gao and Food King Enterprise.
But there was one person who had known all this for a long time. Jiang Yuemei, who had been silent from the beginning, stood up at this time. She sighed and continued, "Mrs. Gao has an agreement with Food King Enterprise. If Chinatown cuisine becomes independent, Mrs. Gao will represent Chinatown and join Food King Enterprise. At that time, Chinatown cuisine will be a part of Food King Enterprise. This was a plan that was determined eight years ago when Food King Enterprise was first established. I accidentally learned about this three years ago."
She looked at Madam Gao with a bit of helplessness on her face: "Madam Gao, I told you to take care of yourself, but what you did today was too much."
Mrs. Gao remained indifferent.
Jim and Huang Yiyuan were both furious. Only then did they realize that their desire to attend the Spring Banquet in order to gain an opportunity for Chinatown cuisine to be independent had actually been hiding a huge conspiracy.
The independence of Chinatown cuisine is just a way to help the Food King Corporation.
And Mrs. Gao is the conspirator, promoter and beneficiary behind the scenes!
"Mrs. Gao, I want to challenge your Wangfu Noodle House with Ye Chui!" After a few seconds of silence, Jim spoke in a cold voice. (~^~)
