Dare to cook

Chapter 352 Song Ziliang Arrested

October this autumn, the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There was a heavy rain in Shencheng.

On this day, Yao Yu came to the Lu family to pay homage.

It was pouring and raining non-stop.

In the room, Lu Tao and Yao Yu sat and talked with each other, playing chess while talking.

"In less than a year, you have opened seven stores in a row. You have taken a big step." Lu Tao stepped on a cannon on Yao Yu's chessboard.

"It won't work if we don't open more branches. Of the [-] chefs on the Yushi list, nearly one-tenth of them have joined Yushi. If we don't open two more branches, we won't be able to pay our wages in the future."

As Yao Yu said, he left Che Baping 5, and killed Lu Tao with a backhand.

Lu Tao glanced at the chessboard and said with a smile:

"You boy, you are a good boy even if you get cheap."

"When Chen Jingtang founded the Luming Group, he only managed to recruit a few chefs from the Jade Food List after a lot of hard work."

"When you first started your business, you got one-tenth of the active Jade Food List in your bag. Your start is much better than that of Chen Jingtang."

"The times are different. When Chen Jingtang founded Luming Group, Internet companies had just started. At that time, no matter how big the restaurant was, it was difficult for it to be famous all over the country." Yao Yu said with a smile, "The reputation is not big enough, so recruiting people is naturally difficult. Not as convenient as it is now.”

Is it just because the times are different?

Lu Tao looked at Yao Yu, smiled and said, "What are you going to do next? Will you continue to open a branch?"

Yao Yu shook his head and said:
"No, at least in the next three to two years, no more branches will be opened."

"My current idea is to stabilize Yushi's current basic base, and then reserve kitchen talents. When the existing team has made sufficient progress, I will consider other things."

"It seems that you really want to build a catering company that can challenge Luming Group." Lu Tao said with emotion, "Young people, it doesn't matter if they are motivated. Just pay attention to the balance between work and rest."

The Zhunweng and his son-in-law continued to chat and play chess, and not long after, Lu Chenyu, who was cooking in the kitchen, came in and called them to eat.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Yuan and Yu Shi's business is extremely busy, but the bosses on both sides chose to take a day off.

Lu Tao and Lu Huaiwei stayed at home today, and Mu Shaoran brought a lot of ingredients to Lu's house this morning to prepare dishes.As for Lu Yuan, there are naturally other famous chefs in town.

After a year of tempering, Mu Shaoran has become more mature.

Now his cooking skills have been able to steadily rank among the top 150 on the Jade Food Ranking. With just two more years of hard work and training, his name will definitely be on the top ten on the Jade Food Ranking and the candidate list for the national cooking team in the future.

Anyway, he is Lu Tao's closed disciple, and his future is definitely not bad.

However, if you have to compare it with Yao Manzi, it would be a bit discouraging.

Yao Yu has become a name that young chefs don't want to mention in the culinary circle.

No matter how good a cook is, as long as he is compared with Yao Manzi, he is nothing.

Mu Shaoran's current mentality is very Buddhist.

He has already learned to automatically block words such as "Yao Yu", "Yao Manzi", "Captain of the National Kitchen", "Double World Champion".

It seems that as long as you don't pay attention and don't compete for dominance, you won't suffer a psychological blow.

This kind of thinking cannot be said to be wrong.

After all, no one likes to make things difficult for themselves.

However, Lu Tao is not satisfied with Mu Shaoran's personal status of burying himself in his studies and not wanting to communicate with his peers.

He knew that Mu Shaoran's talent was not inferior to Qin Ming, Yu Mengdong, Zhu Xingchen and others.

What Mu Shaoran lacks is mainly experience, and the lack of experience of being "rubbed" by masters of the same age to teach him how to behave.That's why his growth rate is relatively slow, unlike Yao Yu, Ling Zhaochi, Shen Qiuming and other animals who grow by leaps and bounds at every turn, soaring into the sky.

Based on this idea, Lu Tao suddenly said to Mu Shaoran after having the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet: "Shaoran, from tomorrow onwards, you don't want to go to Lu Garden."

What? !
Mu Shaoran was a little confused and didn't understand what Lu Tao meant.

Could it be that he should be expelled from the division?

But he has always been very good.Since Yao Yu made a big splash in the famous contest last year, he didn't dare to think about his senior sister anymore.

The bewildered Mu Shaoran was thinking wildly, when Lu Tao said again:
"Lu Yuan's dishes can teach you everything you can teach you. If you want to be a good cook, you have to learn from others. It's useless if you always stay in Lu Yuan to practice the dishes you have mastered. Starting tomorrow, you will go to Yu Shi does things."

"You can cook whatever Yao Yu asks you to do, and learn if you don't know how to cook."

"No problem?" Lu Tao said, the last sentence was to ask Yao Yu.

There is no reason to push the coolies sent to the door.

Yao Yu was stunned, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Lu, I promise to hand over the heaviest burden of the kitchen to Mu Shaoran, and definitely let him get the most exercise."

When Mu Shaoran heard the words, he felt a strong malice enveloped him.

He couldn't help swallowing, and said, "Master, can I refuse? I really can't bear to leave you!"

In the end, Mu Shaoran's opinion was ignored by Huali.

He had no choice but to report to Yushi Main Store the next day as if he were mourning for his wife.

And Yao Yu didn't let him down, he made him do this and that early in the morning, helping an unfamiliar chef the whole time, preparing some dishes that he seldom cooks.

In the few days when he first arrived at Yushi, Mu Shaoran was more tired than 007's working dog.

However, Yao Yu wasn't trying to trick him on purpose, but to make him familiar with the kitchen work of Yushi as soon as possible.

Yao Yu understood what Lu Tao was thinking.

For Mu Shaoran, the environment in Lu Yuan was a bit too comfortable.

There are many famous chefs in Lu Yuan, but those who are more powerful than Mu Shaoran are all older than him.People of the same age as Mu Shaoran are basically assistant cooks and assistant chefs, and they cannot defeat Mu Shaoran even if they are tied together.

The only Lu Chenyu who is close to Mu Shaoran's age is much higher than him.

If Mu Shaoran always compares with Lu Chenyu, he can only be pushed to the ground and kicked wildly, and it will not be able to improve the competition.

But if Mu Shaoran was thrown into Yu Shi, the situation would be quite different.

Yushi's staff are all young chefs, and one kitchen is equipped with five or six Yushibang chefs.

In this environment, chefs of the same age will have a strong sense of competition. Even for the sake of face, no one wants to be the one at the bottom.

Mu Shaoran was thrown into this kind of competitive environment, so he could only work hard, which could further stimulate his self-motivation and subjective initiative.

It was precisely based on this consideration that Lu Tao decided to throw his closed disciple to Yao Yu for training.

After being "taken care of" by Yao Yu for more than a month, Mu Shaoran lost seven or eight catties, but his spirit was better than before.

Time flies and it’s the end of the year.

When the new year was approaching, Song Ziliang who had stolen Tang Ying's large fortune was finally arrested.

It turned out that Song Ziliang was a professional liar who was very good at self-packaging, and all his resume and work experience were forged.

Before Tang Ying, he had cheated money and seduced many people.

However, because the amount of money involved in the previous actions was not large, and Song Ziliang used the method of "peaceful breakup" to get rid of those former victims, so he was not investigated.

But Tang Ying was different this time.

Song Ziliang didn't expect to meet such a wealthy fat sheep, so he took the risk and made a big one.

Then immediately flew to Russia to hide.

It was precisely because Song Ziliang ran away too fast and too early that it took the police more than half a year to arrest him after filing the case.

Today, not much of the illegal gains he took away from Tang Ying has been squandered.

All that awaits him is a harsh trial in court and a prison sentence.

On the day Song Ziliang was tried in court, Yao Yu, Tang Ying, Liu Yiran and others were all sitting in the auditorium and witnessed him being brought to justice.

Liu Yiran was a little puzzled, she didn't understand why Song Ziliang didn't want to live a good life with Tang Ying.

Even if he was a liar at the beginning, Tang Ying wanted money and good looks, wouldn't it be enough to impress Song Ziliang to stay with him?
Regarding this point, Yao Yu has a clear understanding.

He knew that Tang Ying actually had a temper that didn't rub the sand in her eyes, and paper couldn't contain fire.

Song Ziliang's intellectual family history and background are all forged, and it is impossible to hide it for a long time.Even if he is really talented, he will have a day of failure.

If he just waited and waited, Song Ziliang would definitely be beaten.

That's why he didn't do anything, and simply did something big.

After Song Ziliang was arrested, Tang Ying's knots were also untied.

This ending actually embarrasses Tang Ying.

No one knew what Tang Ying's mood was like.Yao Yu also won't investigate.

Over the past year, Yao Manzi has achieved a double harvest in career and love.

Yu Shi's business has always been booming, and his emotional relationship with Lu Chenyu is getting closer.

Looking at it, the two had already decided to get married on February 2 years ago.

But at this time, an accident happened to Lu Chenyu's family...
