"According to what you mean, my current fame and status are all thanks to you. If I don't do what you say, then everything I have now may be lost at any time. Is that what you mean?" Ye Chui said to the person on the other end of the phone with a sneer.
The other side was silent for a moment, probably knowing that he had spoken too harshly, but after a moment, he still said coldly: "That's right, no matter how good you are, you are just a chef, and the Gourmet Association is specifically responsible for chefs. Do you believe that we can ruin your reputation at any time and make you worthless?"
This is a naked threat.
Ye Chui sneered again with disdain: "I don't know what your status is in the Gourmet Association, and whether what you said can represent the will of the entire Gourmet Association, but your words make me very unhappy. Do you want my reputation to plummet and become worthless? Then go ahead and do it. I didn't intend to make a big fuss about the two-star chef certification assessment, but now I am going to make a big fuss. You threaten me? I want to see how you can threaten me!"
After saying these words coldly, Ye Chui simply hung up the phone.
Ye Cui has never been a person who is afraid of threats, not to mention that those people in the Gourmet Association who want to threaten him must have their own capital.
Just as Mr. Han said, Ye Chui is now riding on the trend of the revival of Chinese food culture. With this trend in mind, people from the Food Association are nothing at all.
Although Ye Cui had not originally intended to make things so awkward, he had no fear now that things had come to this.
"Master, what's wrong?" Han Yuyan, who was standing next to him, saw that Ye Chui's expression seemed unhappy, so he walked over and asked in surprise.
"Nothing, I just received a phone call that I didn't know what to do." Ye Chui smiled and looked at the shop next to him that was only a dozen square meters. "This place seems a bit too small to be used as a restaurant. It's not suitable to be a noodle shop."
He was checking out the forty-three hotels with Han Yuyan. These hotels were now about to begin renovation, but the decoration style of each hotel still needed Ye Chui's final confirmation, and the operating models of some hotels also needed to be modified.
For example, this small shop in front of us. Originally, Ye Chui planned to turn this into a noodle shop selling wonton noodles, but now it seems that the place is obviously too small and not enough.
"Then Master, what kind of restaurant do you think is suitable to open here?" Han Yuyan was walking back and forth in the small shop, looking around the space.
Ye Chui thought about it. His eyes lit up: "Why not open a porridge shop?"
"Porridge shop?" Han Yuyan was stunned.
"Yes, it's a store that specializes in selling various kinds of porridge." Ye Chui explained with a smile.
Han Yuyan replied, "Of course I know what a porridge shop is, but Master, isn't the purpose of opening a restaurant to promote Chinese cuisine? The food sold in the restaurant must be something that other people don't sell. A porridge shop... isn't it too ordinary? There are almost porridge shops everywhere now, and it's too boring."
"The porridge shop I'm talking about is certainly not an ordinary porridge shop." Ye Chui said with a smile, "The porridge sold in the porridge shop is certainly not the porridge sold in ordinary porridge shops."
Han Yuyan was a little confused and asked, "Is there anything special about the porridge?"
"Of course." Ye Chui smiled and explained, "Nowadays, people usually use cereals to make porridge, and rarely put meat into the porridge. We can start from this aspect to make a unique meat porridge. For example, the preserved egg and lean meat porridge that you and Xiaoyu Anjing like to drink very much is one kind, and there are many similar porridges. For example, mixed vegetable and lean meat porridge, scallop and shrimp porridge, mushroom chicken porridge, chicken and coriander porridge, wolfberry spinach and pork liver porridge, these are all nutritious and delicious porridges."
Han Yuyan heard Ye Chui talking about so many delicious porridges, and said with some surprise on his face: "It turns out that there are so many ways to cook porridge. I have only heard of the preserved egg and lean meat porridge you cooked before. It's a pity. Master, you must cook all these porridges for me to eat."
"Haha. Okay, then let's change this small shop into a porridge shop. The porridge shop doesn't need to be too big, and there can be a small kitchen inside for making porridge. Put a counter in the front, and the remaining space can be used to place two or three tables, and then a small porridge shop will be ready." Ye Chui continued with a smile.
"Yes, Master, let me write these words down first." Han Yuyan hurriedly opened the notebook he carried with him and wrote down Ye Chui's requirements for the decoration of the hotel. These will become suggestions for the hotel's formal decoration. Of course, recording Ye Chui's important matters should have been the job of Ye Chui's secretary, Tang Shanshan, but this morning, this funny guy ate too many lettuce buns made by Qin Yiyue in one go because they were so delicious, and he was seriously unwell, so this job was handed over to Han Yuyan to complete...
After looking at this small shop, the two of them prepared to leave and go to the big shop next door, which was now also owned by Ye Chui.
The shops in the Food City District can be divided into three categories: large, medium and small. The larger shops can cover an area of more than 100 square meters, the medium shops are between 50 and 100 square meters, and the small shops are less than 50 square meters.
Such restaurants are actually not that big. After all, this is a food city, and it is unlikely that there will be super-large restaurants like Manhan Building. If the hotels are rated with stars, they will not exceed three stars at most.
The restaurant that Ye Chui was planning to use as a porridge shop was a small shop, but there were two and three other shops next door and opposite, which belonged to Ye Chui, and these shops were all large-scale.
"The shop next door can open a Sichuan restaurant." Ye Chui said to Han Yuyan as he walked outside. Coincidentally, when Ye Chui and Han Yuyan walked out of the small shop, someone walked out of a shop opposite. This person turned out to be an acquaintance - Andrew!
Andrew from Food King Enterprises!
At this moment, Andrew was obviously also looking at shops. There was a man in a suit beside him who was enthusiastically recommending something to him. When he looked up, he suddenly saw Ye Chui and Han Yuyan standing across the street.
Andrew was also stunned for a moment, then he looked at the small and even somewhat pitiful shop behind Ye Chui, and then a sneer appeared on his face. He waved to the man in a suit beside him, then walked across the street and walked towards Ye Chui with a cold expression.
"Why is he here too?" Han Yuyan had already seen Andrew approaching, and his awareness as a gold medal fighter suddenly awakened, and he quietly took a step towards Ye Chui.
Ye Chui rolled his eyes and patted Han Yuyan on the shoulder: "It's okay, there's no way he's going to mess around here."
During the trip to Chinatown, Andrew was taken away for investigation as a criminal suspect due to the sudden death of Mrs. Gao. However, judging from his appearance now, the matter should have been resolved. His appearance here now represents a very clear signal that Food King Enterprises is also preparing to open a restaurant in China Food City.
"Mr. Ye." Andrew greeted Ye Chui in stiff Chinese, "I didn't expect that we would meet here again. This is really fate."
"Yes, it's fate." Ye Chui said with a faint smile, pointing to the large store opposite, "Why, Mr. Andrew, are you planning to open a restaurant here too?"
"That's right." Andrew nodded proudly, "Our Food King Enterprise bought five shops in Huaxia Food City in one go and plans to open five restaurants, and I am now the person in charge of this project."
As he said this, Andrew took another look at the small shop that Ye Chui and Han Yuyan had just walked out of. "It seems that Mr. Ye is also planning to open a restaurant here? Is this small shop the one you are planning to buy? To be frank, is this shop too small? If you have any financial problems, Mr. Ye, we at Food King Enterprise don't mind helping you."
Ye Chui is the number one chef in China and has recently been touted as the God of Food, but does this mean that he is rich
Andrew knew a lot about Ye Chui. He knew that Ye Chui's Man Han Lou had only been open for a few months, and that it would cost at least 50 million to open the entire restaurant. Adding the salaries of the six-star, five-star, and four-star chefs in Man Han Lou, Andrew concluded that Ye Chu was already very tight on funds.
Of course, he also knew about the relationship between Ye Chui and the two wealthy men, Han Lao and Lin Zhengdao. However, as a person who had lived in a capitalist country since childhood, it was hard for him to believe that the two wealthy men would provide financial support to Ye Chui just because of some personal connections.
They didn't even believe that Ye Chui would be so charming that the two wealthy men would continue to invest huge amounts of money in him.
So after seeing Ye Chui and Han Yuyan coming out of that small shop, he thought that Ye Chui couldn't afford a big shop and could only buy a small shop like this. After all, a large shop in the food city would cost at least more than three million, and a smaller one would cost hundreds of thousands. With Ye Chui's current situation, he could probably only buy a small shop, right
Ye Chui certainly understood the contempt in Andrew's words, so he smiled coldly and continued, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Andrew, but I think it's unnecessary."
"You're welcome, Mr. Ye." Andrew continued.
"I'm not being polite, it's really unnecessary." Ye Chui pointed to the left side of the shop that Andrew valued, and then pointed to the right side of the shop, "These two shops are mine." He pointed to the big shop next to the small shop behind him and continued, "This shop is also mine - Mr. Andrew, you are really polite, deliberately opening a shop in the middle of my shop."
Andrew: “…”
Ye Chui thought of something, and turned to ask Han Yuyan: "By the way, Dayu, it seems that all the shops here were bought by your grandfather. Why didn't he buy this one in the middle?"
"Grandpa said that the Feng Shui here is not good." Han Yuyan understood and immediately continued, "Opening a restaurant here will definitely lose money and bring bad luck." (~^~)
