Dare to cook

Chapter 94 The Uninvited Guest

When Lu Yufeng heard that Yao Yu was willing to be the chef of the exchange meeting, he was immediately overjoyed and said quickly:

"The Tonglin International Tourism Exchange will start on June [-]th and end on the [-]th. It will last for three days, but it is actually only two and a half days."

"During this period, there is not much kitchen work for the exchange meeting, as long as the meals for more than 300 people are prepared on time."

"However, within those three days, the dishes of each meal cannot be repeated. Moreover, if you are willing to take over the job, you must report the proposed menu to us within a week."

Yao Yu heard the words and said, "This is no problem. How about the cost?"

Lu Yufeng said:

"Well, our company quoted you 12 yuan. In three days, including your travel expenses to Tonglin, we will pay you a total of 12 yuan."

Earning 12 yuan in three days is completely worth the income of a working family for half a year.

Yao Yu, who is in the current price range, only has a monthly salary of 5 yuan + performance commission in Renhe Pavilion.

However, when Yao Yu heard the offer, he shook his head:
"Too few. If I were to be the chef during the exchange meeting, I would have to bring my team along. Otherwise, a meal for 300 people would not be possible."

"Even if you find another chef in Tonglin to assist me, it's useless. People who are not mine can't cook the dishes I ordered at all."

Lu Yufeng asked: "Then what do you think is the right amount of remuneration?"

"20!" Yao Yu said flatly.

"This is too high! Our company cannot accept this price."

"If your company really knows me, you should know that my previous charging standard started at 30."

Yao Yu said lightly,

"20 is just my current charging price. If this price is unacceptable, you should hire someone else."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yufeng hesitated for a moment before saying:
"I can't decide on this price, please wait a moment, I have to ask our leader for instructions."

After speaking, Lu Yufeng got up and went to the side to make a phone call.

Yao Yu glanced at Lu Yufeng, his heart was very calm, as stable as an old dog.

He knew very well that if he was willing to hire a famous chef to take charge of the catering exchange meeting, the specifications would definitely not be small.

Yuanzhi Public Relations approached him, and most likely they also planned to use his fame to promote the exchange meeting.

Inviting famous chefs to be responsible for the catering during the exchange meeting is actually the same as some big companies inviting celebrities to support the scene during the annual meeting.

In this world, the influence of a first-class celebrity chef is no less than that of ordinary film and television stars.

Moreover, Yuanzhi Public Relations did not come sooner or later, but it happened when he had just won the first place in the Shencheng competition area.

In terms of popularity alone, the popularity of many veteran chefs on the Kirin List may not be as popular as Yao Yu.

Once Yao Yu wins the championship and returns to the Jade Food List, the appearance fee of Yu's madman will not be just 30 to [-] yuan.

Yuan Zhi PR's decision did not meet Yao Yu's expectations.

The offer of 20 is still within their psychological expectations.

Soon, Lu Yufeng came back after making the phone call and said:
"Our company agrees. If you have no other questions, you can sign the contract today."

Yao Yu nodded upon hearing this.

Then I chatted with Lu Yufeng about the details of the contract.

After everything was settled, the two agreed to sign the contract at a nearby coffee shop in the afternoon.

……

After finalizing a deal, Yao Yu left Renhe Hall and headed for Lu Garden.

When Yao Yu arrived at Lu Yuan, it was the peak dining period.

Today is the day when Lu Huaiwei inspects Lu Yuan's kitchen.

As the founder of Lu Garden, the 66-year-old Lu Huaiwei has already retired to the second line and handed over the daily affairs of Lu Garden to Lu Tao.

However, how can someone who has been a chef all his life really live in leisure?
Although Lu Huaiwei seldom cooks in Lu Garden.But every ten days or so, he would go back to Lu Yuan to have a look.

Moreover, Lu Huaiwei specially chooses a time when the kitchen is busy to inspect the work.

Because at this time, it is easiest to see whether a chef is cooking with his heart.

Yao Yu parked the car, entered Lu Garden, and walked towards the back kitchen.

When approaching the back kitchen, Yao Yu ran into Mu Shaoran who was walking from Lu Yuan's backyard.

When Mu Shaoran saw Yao Yu, he showed a strange smile: "You are here. My master and old man are not in the back kitchen right now."

"Then where are they?" Yao Yu asked, startled.

Mu Shaoran smiled and didn't answer, but let Yao Yu follow him into the back kitchen to carry two baskets of ingredients, and then led him to the backyard.

The backyard of Lu Garden is full of elegant scenery of Jiangnan gardens.

In this garden, Lu Garden divided a total of ten private courtyards into luxurious boxes.

In addition to the ten single-family courtyards, there is also a small courtyard in Lu Yuan's backyard that is never open to the public.

That small courtyard was Lu Huaiwei's resting place in Lu Yuan before, and it was also Lu Yuan's cooking classroom.

Whenever Lu Huaiwei wants to teach Lu's disciples unique dishes, this small courtyard will be used.

Yao Yu followed Mu Shaoran into this small courtyard, only to find that besides the three generations of the Lu family's grandparents, there were also two uninvited guests.

Of the two uninvited guests, one is young and unrestrained, the other is old and steady.

The elder Yao Yu didn't know him. He was chatting happily with Lu Tao, and there was an air of wealth and wealth in his gestures and gestures.

As for the young one, Yao Yu recognized it immediately.

Ling Zhaochi? !

How could this product appear here?

Yao Yu looked at the butter boy who was chatting endlessly with Lu Chenyu in the courtyard, and suddenly understood why Mu Shaoran was smiling so weirdly just now.

Compared with Mu Shaoran, Ling Zhaochi, who has a baby face and has been crazily pursuing Lu Chenyu, is a Chihuahua who catches and bites anyone, and is extremely cruel.

In the past three years, many of the opposite sex who appeared around Lu Chenyu have been bullied by Ling Zhaochi.

When Yao Yu saw Ling Zhaochi, Ling Zhaochi also saw Yao Yu.

Suddenly, Ling Zhaochi's face quickly turned cold as if he had seen his enemy: "Yao Yu! What are you doing in Lu Yuan?"

Today, Yao Yu and Ling Zhaochi met for the first time.

The two had never crossed paths before and had no enmity.

But because of Lu Chenyu's relationship, after Ling Zhaochi was so angry that Yao Yu threw out a sky-high price invitation to fight in Wanghai Tower that day, the two of them were considered to have formed a bond.

Facing Ling Zhaochi's questioning, Yao Yu rolled his eyes and was too lazy to answer.

He walked into the yard and greeted Lu Huaiwei with a smile: "Grandpa Lu, are you okay?"

The gray-haired Lu Huaiwei was wearing a big mandarin jacket and looked at Yao Yu with a smile: "Xiao Yu, I haven't seen you for many years, but the longer you grow, the more energetic you become."

Yao Yu had very little contact with Lu Huaiwei. The last time they met was at an exchange meeting five years ago.

At this time, Lu Tao also smiled and said:

"Come on, Yao Yu, let me introduce you. This is Ling Zhaochi's father, Ling Yuzhu. As for the Ling Zhaochi next to him, you must know him."
