Mr. Han is a world-renowned gourmet, so his ability to appreciate a dish is naturally the most authoritative. If he says that Fang Tao's dish is pig food, then his dish is really as unpalatable as pig food - in fact, if he had eaten Fang Tao's eggplant and dried fish on a normal day, Mr. Han might have given it a thumbs up, after all, the classic recipe was there. But now, with Ye Chui's excellent recipe in front of him, this eggplant and dried fish dish has been left far behind.
Even after giving a long scolding, Mr. Han hurriedly grabbed a glass of water from the coffee table and rinsed his mouth, as if there was some unpleasant taste in his mouth.
Fang Tao's heart sank immediately. If he asked Mr. Han to taste the food, a compliment would make him soar to the sky, but if he was scolded by him as pig food... he would probably not be able to make a living in the chef industry anymore.
But this was far from the most fatal thing for Fang Tao, because he saw Han Yuyan walked up to Old Han and said to him, "Grandpa, this dish was made by Master Fang Tao who secretly copied Master's recipe."
"What?" Old Han's eyes widened immediately and he looked around. "Who is Fang Tao? He copied the recipe? How could he do such a shameless thing!"
Fang Tao's face was pale, but at this moment he had to bite the bullet and say to Mr. Han: "Mr. Han, this dish may just happen to be the same as Mr. Ye Chui's dish, but this dish was really inspired by Feng Jie's description of eggplant fish in Dream of the Red Chamber. How can this be considered plagiarism..."
"fart!"
Before Fang Tao could finish his words, Mr. Han interrupted him rudely: "Inspiration from Dream of the Red Chamber? Do you think I'm illiterate? The description of eggplant fish in Dream of the Red Chamber is very vague, but your dish even has the same ingredients as Ye Chui's dish. You say it's a coincidence? Who would believe that! I can tell which dish was plagiarized from which! I thought this dish was made by the fat guy over there (referring to Tian Xiaodu). With his level, he shouldn't have made the dish so unpalatable. I didn't expect it to be you. Humph, it's okay to steal the recipe, but you even made the dish so unpalatable. You are not worthy of being a chef!"
Fang Tao's face was covered with cold sweat. He moved his lips but could not say a word. He knew that he would not be able to escape today. However, the torture that awaited him was far from enough. At this moment, the two chefs who had helped him suddenly came in with a few dishes. "Brother Fang, these Jun Le Xiang's signature dishes are ready!"
The two men had no idea what was happening on the field. They prepared the dishes according to Fang Tao's instructions and served them up at this moment.
This made Fang Tao's body tremble again, and he almost fainted. Wang Jianhua, the boss of Jun Le Xiang who had been able to stay out of it, also became equally grim - this dish was copied from Ye Chui, and they slightly modified the cooking method. Ordinary people might not be able to taste the difference, but how could they fool Mr. Han
Wang Jianhua quickly stood up and said to the two chefs who were serving the dishes, "With Mr. Ye Chui's Imperial Eggplant Dried Fish, how dare we make a fool of ourselves with our dishes? Hurry and take them away! Don't embarrass yourself here!"
When the two chefs saw their boss speaking, they were stunned for a moment and hurriedly took the dishes and were about to leave, but at this time, Mr. Han suddenly shouted, "Wait."
"Mr. Han, these dishes are far inferior to those of Mr. Ye. How dare I fiddle with them here?" Wang Jianhua said hurriedly with a smile.
But Mr. Han's eyes narrowed. He pointed at the two chefs who were about to leave and said, "You decide whether it tastes good or not. Bring these dishes here so I can see them first."
"This..." Wang Jianhua's forehead was already sweating. He glared at Fang Tao fiercely and could only grit his teeth and waved to the two chefs, asking them to bring a few dishes to the coffee table next to him. He introduced: "This is a new dish we just developed in our restaurant. This one is called Steamed Chicken with Foreign Wine, this one is called Assorted Chicken Plate, this one is called Chicken and Mushroom Stew, and this one is called Fragrant Shredded Chicken."
"Hmm?" Seeing the dishes served, Ye Chui was suddenly stunned. Although these dishes had been changed to some extent, how could they be hidden from Ye Chui's eyes? The expression on his face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Fang Tao with some indifference.
Mr. Han had already picked up the bamboo chopsticks and tasted a few bites of the dishes one by one.
"Mr. Han, these dishes were provided by Chef Fang Tao after he joined our restaurant. What do you think?" Wang Jianhua continued, his words directly putting the responsibility onto Fang Tao.
“Shameless!”
Old Han threw his chopsticks onto the table. "What's this foreign wine drunken steamed chicken? This is clearly the Shaoxing drunken chicken made by Ye Chui. This chicken and mushroom stew is chicken stewed with mushrooms. This assorted chicken dish is Dong'an chicken. This fragrant shredded chicken is Hongzi shredded chicken and cucumber! These are all plagiarized recipes from Ye Chui, and he even changed the method to be clever. How stupid, how vulgar, how can he not even plagiarize!"
Following Mr. Han’s words, there was an uproar in the living room again. It turned out that the dishes in Jun Le Xiang were also copied from Ye Chui!
No one doubted that Mr. Han would make mistakes. His reputation as a gourmet was not undeserved.
"This, this..." Wang Jianhua's forehead was dripping with sweat. If there was no authority like Mr. Han here today, he could have said that these dishes were recipes he bought himself, but now that Mr. Han said that this was plagiarism, who would dare to question it? He hurriedly explained, "I... I didn't know that these dishes were originally plagiarized from Ye Chui. A few days ago, Cao Kang came to me with these recipes, and I didn't know the details of these dishes... If I knew that this was a plagiarized recipe, I would never use it!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Tao again. Fang Tao had already completely panicked. He wanted to argue and refute, but found that he couldn't say anything at all.
"Plagiarizing recipes, and doing it repeatedly, is a very serious behavior." At this time, a calm middle-aged man said in a voice. The speaker was a bald man in his fifties. He walked out from the guests next to him and said, "Fang Tao, your behavior is very serious. As the president of the Xizhou City Food Association, I will now cancel your chef certificate, and you will not be eligible to obtain a chef certificate in the future!"
The middle-aged man's name is Tao Jianen. As the president of the Food Association, he is naturally qualified to revoke Fang Tao's chef license.
"What!?" Fang Tao's body trembled when he heard these words. Cancel his chef license forever? He had nothing but cooking skills. If his chef license was revoked, what would he do in the future
At this moment, he suddenly thought of Tian Xiaodu, who was a five-star chef and now Ye Chui's apprentice. If he pleaded for mercy, there might be a chance! Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Tian Xiaodu with a miserable face, and begged with tears in his voice, "Master, Master, please help me..."
When Tian Xiaodu saw Fang Tao's miserable state, he couldn't help but show a trace of pity in his eyes, but then he shook his head and said to Fang Tao: "You have brought all this upon yourself. I can't help you."
"Master..."
"Don't call me Master. We have already severed our master-disciple relationship. You said so yourself." Tian Xiaodu turned his head to the side.
"What are you still doing here?" Old Han was very focused on food. What he hated most was people like Fang Tao who took advantage of others' recipes and claimed them for themselves. He glared at Fang Tao and snorted, "Get lost now!"
Fang Tao was frightened, trembling all over, and walked out in despair. He originally thought that he would soar to the sky today, and even thought that the position of chef of Jun Le Xiang was in his pocket. But in the blink of an eye, all of this was gone, and he was completely thrown into the abyss of invincibility...
Seeing him leave in a panic, many people in the living room did not feel sorry. Just as Tian Xiaodu said, all of this was his own fault and he could only blame himself.
A lot of things happened at Wu Haimei's birthday party today, but it was obvious that things were not over yet.
After Fang Tao was kicked out, Cao Kang and He Chengfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. All the blame was borne by Fang Tao, so they might be able to escape this disaster. However, Ye Chui obviously did not intend to let it go.
Ye Chui showed a cold smile, and suddenly said to Cao Kang with a smile: "Master Cao, it seems that you brought Fang Tao here?"
