gourmet restaurant

Chapter 164
Jiang Yang didn't speak, just looked at Jiang's face quietly.Wen Tongming's appearance must have encountered something, but he was not easy to ask, and he had no position to ask.

Wen Tongming drank the wine in one gulp after another, as if he wanted to anesthetize himself with alcohol.

After a long time, under the influence of alcohol, Wen Tongming said: "I have not been a genius since I was a child. My grandfather once said that my talent in cooking is very poor."

Jiang Yang glanced at him sideways, not quite understanding what Wen Tongming said. After all, he has always been said to be a genius, and no one said that his talent is not good.

Wen Tongming didn't know what Jiang Yang was thinking, otherwise he would be killed.

"Fortunately, although a chef needs talent, but talent is not enough, and one can become a good chef with hard work.

I thought I could become a chef like my grandpa if I worked hard enough.But today's game made me understand that hard work without talent is just a joke. "Wen Tongming said.

"I have seen a very powerful chef, but he was also not very talented. It was almost a joke in the chef circle. But relying on his hard work and diligence, he finally became a blockbuster in the first-level chef exam, surpassing his former senior brothers and becoming a chef. A first-class chef!" Jiang Yang said, telling the story of Qiu Yuan that he heard at the beginning.

"Really? Then he is very lucky!" Wen Tongming said.

"In this world, there are always people who have no talent but succeed through hard work." Jiang Yang said.

Wen Tongming took a sip of wine and said, "Thank you!"

"No, I'm just telling the truth," Jiang Yang said.

"Thank you anyway!" Wen Tongming said.

"It's getting late, you should go back quickly! As long as you persevere, you will definitely become a great chef in the future," Jiang Yang said.

Wen Tongming laughed at himself and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have a chance!"

Jiang Yang was taken aback, and asked, "How come there is no chance?"

Wen Tongming pursed his lips, hesitant to speak, as if he had some scruples.

Jiang Yang smiled and said: "It's okay, if you can't say it, you don't say it. But as long as you have the heart, you can't have a chance."

Wen Tongming lowered his head, suddenly relaxed, and said, "Actually, there is nothing to hide. It all started with my grandfather's illness..."

……

"You... what are you doing?" Wen Tongming looked at the person in front of him angrily.

"What are you doing? We're just here to visit the old man." A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes smiled slightly.

"Bah! You are uneasy and kind, don't think I don't know!" Wen Tongming looked at them angrily and said.

"Xiao Ming!" Wen Tongming's mother called out.

"Everyone, this is a ward, the old man needs to rest!" Wen Tongming's father stood up and said.

"Of course we don't dare to disturb the cleanliness of the old man, but..." The middle-aged man approached Wen Tongming's father and said softly, "The old man's illness needs a lot of money, right?" After finishing speaking, he took his subordinates and left without stopping.

Wen Tongming's father clenched his fists instantly, but he was still rational and restrained his impulse.

"Shameless!" Wen Tongming said angrily.

His father glanced at him and said, "Isn't your shop open today?"

"Grandpa is sick, so he's not in the mood to open a shop." Wen Tongming said.

"Nonsense! Since you decided to become a chef, you can't give up because of these things, and your grandfather doesn't want you not to open a shop because of him. Besides, there are us here, and it's not your turn!" Wen Tongming's father said.

"But..." Wen Tongming was about to speak, but was interrupted by his father: "Go back!"

Wen Tong looked at his father firmly, seeing his father's resolute expression, he said unwillingly: "Okay!"

Outside the door, Wen Tongming was unwilling to leave like this, and suddenly heard someone talking at the door, he moved his ears closer to listen.

"Why did you let Xiao Ming go back? It's not like you don't know the relationship between him and his grandfather." The mother said.

"Oh~ how could I not know, it's just...he's young and impulsive, so I'm afraid something bad will happen to him here." Father sighed.

"Bad thing? What's wrong?" Wen Tongming's mother asked in confusion.

"Well, for the sake of his grandfather's medical expenses, I'm afraid I can only give them those things. Although it is a disadvantage, no one is important. If Xiao Ming stays here, I'm afraid he will act badly at that time." Father explained.

"Medical expenses? Don't you still have savings at home? Isn't it enough?" Wen Tongming's mother was surprised.

"Since they mentioned it, it means that they will definitely use other methods. Although I don't know what it is, I dare not gamble with the old man's life!" Wen Tongming's father said.

"How dare they...?" his mother exclaimed.

"How dare you? They all insisted on this, so why not dare?" Wen Tongming's father sneered.

When Wen Tongming heard this, anger suddenly rose in his heart. He almost rushed in to question his father, but he held back in the end.

He knew that it wasn't his father who made this decision, it was just a last resort.

He left the hospital in a daze, not knowing how he got back, his thoughts were in a mess.

The next day, Wen Tongming got up to look for that person. He would never allow his grandfather's hard work to be taken away like this!

What Wen Tongming went to was a catering company with several restaurants under its banner, which were well-known in the mountain city after all.

Their fame is not so much about their cooking skills or dishes, but about their disgraceful methods and behaviors.

However, they did not do anything illegal, so it is naturally impossible to sanction them with legal weapons.However, their company is very unpopular in the mountain city catering circle.

"Hey, isn't this Chef Xiao Wen? What brought you here?" The man in the suit yesterday said with a smile.

"Hmph! Xue Lei, don't do this." Wen Tongming snorted coldly.

"Oh? Then what is Chef Wen's business with me?" Xue Lei put away his smile and said.

"Come and gamble with you!" Wen Tongming said in a deep voice.

"Oh? It's interesting, it's so interesting. Tell me, what is the gambling method?" Xue Lei sized Wen Tongming up and suddenly smiled.

"In the exchange competition in a few days, if I win the top three, then you give up my grandfather's recipe, otherwise, I will offer it with both hands!" Wen Tongming said solemnly.

"Hehe, why should I agree to you? If my prediction is correct, this recipe will be in my pocket sooner or later!" Xue Lei smiled slightly.

Wen Tongming's face changed. He overheard his father's intention yesterday, and he planned to give this recipe to Xue Lei.As for the conditions, he did not know.

"If I don't agree, you don't even want to get the recipe!" Wen Tongming said fiercely.

"You don't care about your grandfather?" Xue Lei laughed.

Wen Tongming didn't know how to answer for a while, of course he couldn't ignore his grandfather, but once he said this, wouldn't it be in the middle of his heart?

"My grandfather wouldn't want his recipes to fall into your hands!" Wen Tongming said.

Xue Lei's face changed. In fact, what Wen Tongming said was right. They had thought about buying Wen Jinping's recipes a long time ago, but they were repeatedly rejected.

As Wen Tongming said, if Wen Jinping wanted to give it, he would have already given it.This situation will not happen today.

"Hmph! Don't forget, I have a 'handle' in my hand!" Xue Lei said in a deep voice.

"Don't deceive yourself, if your so-called 'hack' is useful, I'm afraid you won't wait until now." Wen Jinping sneered.

Xue Lei's face changed, he really had no good solution.Now, taking advantage of Wen Jinping's illness and being hospitalized, he wanted to use some tricks to force Wen Jinping's son to hand over the recipes, but he didn't expect Wen Jinping's grandson to be so difficult!

"The bet can be accepted, but...the conditions have to be changed..." Xue Lei said in a deep voice.

"Yes, you say it is!" Wen Tongming gritted his teeth and said.
