Chapter 198 Luxury Lineup

Huang Shengli and Zheng Da were originally sitting in opposite compartments eating melon, but they were slipped in for an interview.

Qin Huai was not idle either. He originally wanted to go to the kitchen to see if there was any staff meal, but before eating the staff meal, he had to send a message to Chen Gong to say sorry to him.

The plot has developed to this point. Does anyone still remember that Qin Huai's original plan today was to let Chen Gong taste the dishes?

Qin Huai didn't even see Chen Gong today.

Qin Huai began to edit the message.

Qin Huai: Assistant Chen, I'm really sorry. We encountered too many emergencies today. Originally, I was supposed to wait for you to finish your meal and tell you about the snacks you had, but now I haven’t even seen you in person. Are you satisfied with your lunch today? Do you have a favorite snack? When will you go to Hangzhou? Do you still have time to come over for a meal at noon tomorrow?

Chen Gong did not reply.

But the door to the 777 box next door opened.

Chen Gong walked out of the 777 box in formal clothes and said with a smile: "Master Qin, I know you are busy and have been staying in the box. I just heard you talking outside and thought you were busy, so I didn't come out to disturb you. If you If you have time now, we can chat now.”

Qin Huai was stunned.

Qin Huai wanted to scratch his head, but he restrained himself. He followed Chen Gong into the box and found that Ouyang was also in the box.

Ouyang even sat at the dining table with a bowl of tangerine peel tea in front of him.

No, buddy, you didn’t eat from lunch until now, right?

Ouyang gave Qin Huai a look that said, "Don't worry, I've done everything you need to do."

Qin Huai:?

Qin Huai sat down carefully, Chen Gong switched to work mode, and his smile became businesslike.

"Master Qin, your friend has just told me about your situation and the price of catering."

Qin Huai: ...What's the price of catering?

Has he ever had a meal out?

If you come to Huangji as a caterer, it's not Ouyang's turn to tell Chen Gong the price. The prices are clearly marked on the menu.

"You have previously customized a batch of high-end noodles for Mr. Chen Yingjun's property company. The unit price is 288 each." Chen Gong said.

"This is the local acquaintance price. We always ask you to go to city A. If you go to other provinces, the price will definitely go up. I understand this market."

"And just now I eavesdropped on the waiter's chat at the door. Mr. Xu Cheng is here, right?"

"Do you know Xu Cheng?" Qin Huai was a little surprised.

He only found out who Xu Cheng was some time ago. Chen Gong was just an assistant to the president of a listed company, and he was also a life assistant. In theory, he would not pay attention to a food critic.

Is Chen Gong a fan of Xu Cheng?

Hidden beneath his paranoid core is a love for food?

"Of course, Mr. Xu is a friend of our Mr. Han." Chen Gong nodded, "Our Mr. Han knew about you from Mr. Xu. To be honest, before looking for you, our Mr. Han also contacted several well-known restaurants. The person in charge, ask their chef if they can cater.”

"We, Mr. Han, are in City A, so of course the birthday party must be held in City A. There are no well-known restaurants in City A, so we can only invite chefs from other places to come over and have catering."

"Only Babao Zhai in Peiping accepted the invitation, while other restaurants declined."

"Actually, we have contacted Huang Ji, but Master Huang Shengli seems to have a bad waist."

"Master Pei Shenghua from Chengfangju had this intention, but he had to go abroad for exchanges in mid-March and could not find time, so he recommended his friend Zang Mu to us. Master Zang said there was no problem and he was willing to work with Master Tong Deyan from Babaozhai cooperate."

"The only problem is that these two chefs are both pure red case chefs and are not proficient in white cases. Master Zang suggested that we, Mr. Han, find a white case chef who is proficient in white cases to be responsible for the snacks at the birthday banquet. After all, it is a birthday The snacks at the banquet are in a sense more important than the snacks at the wedding banquet.”

"We, Mr. Han, are friends with Mr. Xu. He originally wanted to ask Mr. Xu which Bai'an dim sum chefs in the country are willing to provide this kind of catering. Then he heard Mr. Xu mention that you are an excellent Bai'an dim sum chef. Let’s go to Shanshi to try your craft.”

"That's why I came to find you."

"I have tasted your craftsmanship at noon, and there is no problem. It is definitely more than enough to be responsible for the birthday banquet. You are also the most cheerful one among the many chefs I contacted!"

"Master Qin, don't worry. We, Mr. Han, are absolutely sincere in terms of price. We will give you a 20% increase from the highest price in the market!"

"I won't let you suffer!"

Qin Huai had already expressed that he felt the sincerity of Chen Gong, the boss of Han Guishan whom he had never met before. It was too much and too much.

He could also guess that Chen Gong said such a long list of words to him to show that Mr. Han attached great importance to the birthday party and to hint that he would go all out.

The above names are mentioned to highlight the luxurious lineup of chefs at the birthday banquet.

But Qin Huai wants to ask, apart from Pei Shenghua, who are the people mentioned just now?

He knew that Pei Shenghua was Pei Xing's distant cousin, a famous chef and a high-ranking chef.

But this person was not invited.

Who are Tong Deyan and Zang Mu invited?

Qin Huai felt that he should look through the celebrity chef directory again when he went back. After the 30 celebrity chefs were listed, there were a lot of Chinese chefs in the 30s to 60s. Last time, he focused on who was in the top few, and glanced in the middle, staring at the rankings of Huang Shengli and Huang Jia. He was also a little confused why Zheng Da was not there, and asked who the master chef of Zhiweiju was. , other people really didn’t pay much attention.

You have to do some research on who Tong Deyan and Zang Mu are when you get back.

These two are colleagues at the birthday party in March. It is related to whether Chen Gong's side mission can be completed and whether his boss Han Guishan can shine at the birthday party.

Chen Gong was so sincere, Qin Huai felt that he had to improve his sincerity.

"Assistant Chen, can you still eat?" Qin Huai asked.

Chen Gong:?

"Actually, there is another snack you didn't eat for lunch."

20 seconds later, Qin Huai called Dong Shi and asked Dong Shi to steam two of the few fruits left in the kitchen and have the waiter deliver them to the 777 box.

Dong Shi didn't realize who was in the 777 box at the first time. He thought it was an interview box and blurted out whether Xu Cheng would be exhausted if he ate like this and had to go to the hospital for gastric lavage.

It seemed that Qin Huai was not the only one to notice that Xu Cheng was full today.

Five minutes later, the fruit was delivered.

Chen Gong only took one bite and hurriedly went to the door to make a phone call. Qin Huai listened quietly for a few words. Chen Gong was probably calling Han Guishan to report the situation. The words he used were very radical. When you go to Han Guishan, you must come and taste the dim sum in person. It's very delicious and well worth the trip. Mr. Han will definitely like it.

Yes, a good and loyal assistant.

Ouyang was burping and eating fruit. Qin Huai took one look at his useless look and patted his hand to signal him not to eat.

Otherwise, it won’t be Xu Cheng who goes to the hospital for gastric lavage, but you, Ouyang, who will go to the hospital for gastric lavage.

"Why do you want to come to Suzhou? When will you go back? Isn't the neighborhood committee busy recently?" After being busy for a whole noon, Qin Huai finally had time to ask the three questions he wanted to ask Ouyang the most.

Ouyang stubbornly took the last bite of the fruit, put the rest into the packing box and squeezed it with the apple noodles, and said: "I resigned."

Qin Huai: "Do your parents know? Are you sure your parents won't beat you to death when you go back this time?"

"My parents agreed. When they let me work at Sister Hong's place, they were afraid that I would become a prodigal son by spending too much time and alcohol. Are you that kind of person? After several years of reform and hard work, my parents have seen that I am as honest as gold. In my heart, I feel that I no longer need to go to the grassroots level and can start a business again to regain everything I have lost!" Ouyang said impassionedly.

"Keep your voice down, there's an interview next door."

"Oh." Ouyang continued to drink tangerine peel tea.

"You want to start a business again?" Qin Huai immediately grasped the key point, "How are you going to start a business this time? Are you going to continue to be in the catering industry?"

If Ouyang nodded and said yes, Qin Huai felt that he should persuade him.

As a professional breakfast seller, Qin Huai felt that Ouyang was not suitable for catering at all.

It is true that a standard Internet celebrity restaurant like Fish Hot Pot Restaurant will be dead end if it does not do marketing. But for someone like Ouyang to die and lose 6.6 million yuan directly, the fish hotpot restaurant cannot be entirely blamed.

Ouyang's taste is so strange.

He has the most basic aesthetics of mankind, but he also has his own unique taste. He can taste A-grade fruits in the morning, and squat in the duck pen to drink duck soup in the lower level. He likes to eat fermented wine steamed buns, and he likes to eat elm bark steamed buns even more.

It’s really hard not to lose money in the catering industry with such strange flavors.

Qin Huai thinks that Luoluo has a higher chance of making money by opening a restaurant than Ouyang. At least Luoluo's taste is normal. At most, she prefers meat. At worst, she mainly sells meat dishes.

"Of course! You have to stand up wherever you fall. Of course I have to make back the money I lost in the catering industry!"

"I think you should be cautious..."

"My dad has already bought the shop for me. It's right next to the convenience store opposite Yunzhong Canteen!"

"Consider... next door to a convenience store? I remember that the store is very small, so there's no way to dine in, right?"

"Who said we need to dine in? I open a herbal tea shop, selling hand-made lemon tea!"

Qin Huai:…

Herbal tea, I'm sorry for you, I will no longer sell lemon tea with other herbal teas.

Qin Huai swallowed his complaints and unexpectedly felt that this entrepreneurial path was not bad. After all, Ouyang's hand-made lemon tea skills were obvious to all.

The lemon tea he made tasted better than Qin Luo's.

Great strength.

Moreover, the milk tea shop is a small business, and buying a shop near Yunzhong Canteen is a sure-fire way to make a profit. Ouyang may not lose money this time he starts a business again.

"When is your cool...hand-made lemon tea shop going to open?"

"New Year's Day!"

Qin Huai: ...I sell the best-selling hand-made lemon tea in summer in the middle of winter. I’ll pay you to death!

.

After Chen Gong made a phone call with his boss to report the situation, he returned to the box and told Qin Huai that his boss Han Guishan expected to have snacks in half a month.

The specific salary may not be determined until their boss has eaten in person. 50% of the deposit will be paid on the day the contract is signed, and the remaining 50% will be paid after the birthday party is completed.

Qin Huai didn't think there was any problem.

Seeing that Qin Huai and Ouyang obviously still wanted to talk alone, Chen Gong stopped staying in the box and continued to disturb them. He said that he still had work to deal with and left first, carrying the packing box and leaving.

Qin Huai continued to ask Ouyang why he came to Suzhou this time.

Ouyang's answer was also very sincere and straightforward. He swindled some money from his parents and planned to come over to eat, drink and have fun until the end of the year on the pretext of inspecting a handmade lemon tea shop in Suzhou.

As for what to eat, drink and have fun, Ouyang currently plans to eat Huang Ji for half a month and then ask his parents for money.

Huang Ji’s food prices are really too expensive.

Qin Huai saw that Ouyang planned to become a Huangji VIP within a month. Thinking that the house he was renting now was a two-bedroom apartment and Qin Luo had to wait until January 19th for the holiday, he simply suggested that Ouyang live with him first.

Live here first, while looking for a short-term rental nearby, and move out before Qin Luo comes.

Ouyang immediately said that he was a good brother, how did you know that I had this intention?

Then he took the packing box back to the hotel to pack his luggage without looking back, without even asking Qin Huai where he was staying.

Qin Huai: 6

Qin Huai waited in the box until the interview with Xu Cheng was over.

When Xu Cheng heard that Huang Ji was having a wedding banquet in the evening and that Huang Shengli was going to cook a three-head banquet himself, he was originally very excited and wanted to stay for a meal.

However, I ate too much at noon and afternoon tea.

I just couldn’t eat it.

If you have a three-head banquet in the evening, you are not disobeying the doctor's advice, but you are going to the hospital to see the doctor.

Xu Cheng could only regretfully decline.

Huang Shengli noticed Xu Cheng's regret and immediately said that his waist was already strong and he would return to Huang Ji's kitchen in the near future. If Xu Cheng was interested in staying in Gusu for a few more days, he would give Xu Cheng alone in two days. Make a three-head banquet.

There are also some pretty good restaurants here in Suzhou.

Of course, Huang Shengli still suggested that Xu Cheng come to Huangji more often these days. There are a lot of dim sums that Qin Huai knows but is not proficient in. If Xu Cheng is interested in seeing them, Qin Huai can show them to Xu Cheng in the next few days.

Xu Cheng didn't take Huang Shengli's Amway to heart. In his opinion, the number of snacks displayed by Qin Huai today was enough.

Qin Huai is in his 20s, and he was born in an orphanage. Even if he started learning dim sum from his mother's womb, it is already amazing that he can master these dim sum skills in more than 20 years.

However, Xu Cheng also saw Huang Shengli's cherishment of talents and knew that Huang Shengli wanted to try more of Qin Huai's snacks and write more in food reviews to make Qin Huai famous.

Xu Cheng nodded in agreement, saying that he would stay in Gusu for a few more days and try Qinhuai's dim sum.

Even if the snacks are really mediocre, he will try his best to encourage them. After all, talents are rare.

In this way, Huang Ji's chaotic, rich and exciting day ended with Qin Huai still not eating the staff meal. He took Ouyang, who had returned with his suitcase, to put his luggage at home, and then took him to the bone setting shop to have his bones set and eat some fruit.

By the way, Qin Huai didn't get the evening staff meal either.

For the wedding banquet in the evening, the kitchen was already busy when Huang Shengli and Zheng Da were being interviewed, and Huang Jia directly ordered takeout lunches.

Because the quantity was large, the takeout was delivered very late. When the takeout arrived, Qin Huai was eating fruit in the bone setting shop.

So Qin Huai and Ouyang went home to order takeout in the evening, and Ouyang paid for it.

Eat spicy hotpot.

Just when the two of them were sitting at the dining table, playing with their mobile phones and eating spicy hotpot, Ouyang suddenly stared at his mobile phone and asked nonchalantly: "Is "Zhiwei" famous?"

"Did Assistant Chen tell you?" Qin Huai asked.

Ouyang stuffed a mouthful of kelp shreds and nodded: "I've just talked about a little bit. I just searched the Internet again. The restaurants recommended by "Zhiwei" are all very expensive, especially those from abroad. Compared with them, Huang Ji's dishes are still reasonably priced. Cheap.”

"Did you not calculate the exchange rate? Foreign restaurants are all expensive." Qin Huai buried his head in eating spicy hotpot.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

"My poor life has really changed me. When I graduated from college, I didn't think these things were expensive at all. Now whenever I see the unit price of this level, my first reaction is that the merchants are crazy for money." Ouyang shed tears. Tears of bankruptcy.

"When will your interview with "Zhiwei" be released? I'll buy a few copies then."

"Early to mid-January, probably." Qin Huai said.

Ouyang was silent.

Qin Huai looked up and found Ouyang looking thoughtful, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering if Zhiwei is so famous, will the owners of our Yunzhong community and office workers in nearby office buildings buy it?"

"If they bought it, wouldn't they know that you are now in Wong Kee and that the dim sum has become more delicious?"

"Uncle Xu and the others are so free, will they come over for dinner?"

Qin Huai:…

At this moment, Qin Huai only had two words in his heart.

It's over.
