Food customizer.

Zhang Maolin's work in the association, as other colleagues often say in a joking way, is: eating and drinking for free and traveling around the world!

His task is to eat. With his years of experience in eating and drinking for free, he compiled food books from various regions within the association based on the different dishes made by different restaurants in different regions.

At the same time, based on the work content, we will occasionally evaluate the various dishes launched by new and old restaurants in order to promote the development of Chinese cuisine.

So the final results of other people may depend on various objective conditions, but Mao Lin is different. The evaluation results he gives are completely subjective.

In other words, Mao Lin’s outcome will most likely affect the final result.

As everyone waited anxiously, Mr. Mao Lin seemed to be struggling for a long time and finally made a difficult decision.

"Then I'll speak frankly."

"In terms of the quality and taste of the dishes, I would undoubtedly prefer Boss Su's delicious food to the company, but of course there is a prerequisite!"

No one interrupted at this time, and everyone was still quietly waiting for Zhang Maolin's judgment.

Except for one person.

Li Wenkui nudged He Shuting and whispered again, "Excuse me. Can you take a few more at once?"

He Shuting couldn't help but frown slightly.

I was thinking, the people from the association are giving their reviews, why are you still eating here? Can't you wait until they finish speaking before eating?

She completely overlooked one thing.

If Li Wenkui hadn't proposed it first, I'm afraid everyone would still be eating like crazy and no one would have time to comment.

But since the customer had a request, He Shuting couldn't say anything.

And what Li Wenkui said was right. It would be better to bring a few more at once to avoid running around and disturbing others to listen to what they are saying.

He Shuting brought four servings at a time, placed them in front of Li Wenkui, and continued to listen carefully to Zhang Maolin's comments.

"The premise is that all dishes must be cooked by Boss Su himself! If this cannot be done, then with all due respect, the quality of Delicious's dishes should be comparable to that of the State Guesthouse."

Li Wenkui listened while eating.

I thought to myself, Mr. Mao Lin, although he is shameless when eating, he is quite capable when it comes to serious matters.

Isn’t it Boss Su who is running Delicious now?

Of course, it doesn’t mean that other chefs are not good, but in comparison, the only advantage of Delicious is Boss Su!

Well, chicken wings are really delicious. The key is that they are not difficult to eat. You can just suck on them and eat a chicken wing. It’s so delicious!

While talking, Li Wenkui ate three chicken wings in a row. The fat and tender taste not only did not make him feel choked, but he felt that the more he ate, the more he wanted to eat!

Looking at the last chicken wing, he counted on his fingers and thought that Boss Su still had at least three or four bowls. As long as he could get Zhang Maolin to continue the conversation, he would still have food to eat!

Li Wenkui immediately asked, "Mr. Mao Lin, who do you support more?"

Zhang Maolin knew that he couldn't avoid talking about this matter in the end, but he still made a very embarrassed expression on his face, "Hey! It would be great if you two families could reconcile."

Su Chen pondered to himself.

neutralize?

How can this be resolved? The State Guesthouse is located in Beijing, and we can’t move their Building No. 3 here.

Then I can only go there and cook by myself.

This won’t work.

Delicious is my foundation. The banquet hall has such a huge investment. Plus, these old friends trust me. I can't just quit and run away at this time.

But Su Chen did not express his opinion and just continued to listen to what others said.

Zhang Maolin sighed regretfully several times, looking like he was acting, and then continued, "But... this banquet is not a simple banquet, but a food-themed exchange meeting. In view of this direction, I personally recommend Delicious to come to the company."

call.

One could almost hear everyone present heaving a sigh of relief when Zhang Maolin said this.

Li Wenkui looked indifferent.

If he was still a little unconvinced before coming here, then after tasting the four dishes and one soup made by Boss Su, Li Wenkui felt that he really had nothing to say.

The main feature of Huaiyang cuisine itself is that it does not have any obvious characteristics, but it tries to cater to the tastes of guests from multiple angles as much as possible.

But Su Chen can make such dishes have his own characteristics, especially this chicken wing!

"Miss, please take a look at how much Boss Su has left and bring it all to me."

He Shuting didn't have time to think about anything else. Her eyes were fixed on Zhang Maolin and the others. She walked over almost subconsciously. This time, she directly put the remaining five chicken wings on a square plate and placed it in front of Li Wenkui.

"Hehe." Li Wenkui looked at the chicken wings in front of him, picked them up and put them in his mouth with satisfaction.

How can it be so delicious?

It would be nice if I could eat it every day!

Zhang Maolin didn't finish his words, "So I must recommend Delicious to the company, but I have another request."

When talking about business, Zhang Maolin was still very serious. It must be said that this old man was very clear-headed and knew what he was doing. His eyes passed over the crowd and fell on Li Wenkui.

"Mr. Li, I have a request, that..." Before Zhang Maolin started to speak, he saw that there were a dozen small bowls placed in front of Li Wenkui.

This is outrageous!

He even forgot what he was going to say. He looked at Su Chen in disbelief and asked, "Wen Kui, why do you eat so much by yourself?"

Li Wenkui had already eaten three of the chicken wings that had just been served.

It's not that he eats fast, but the chicken wings made by Su Chen really seem to be tailor-made for "eating". You can eat one in one bite, and there is no need to use the "gnawing" technique at all.

Simply perfect.

If Zhang Maolin hadn't questioned him, Li Wenkui himself wouldn't have realized that he had eaten so many in such a short time.

But he didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Oh! You can eat so much, but I can't eat more? When you go out to eat, you have to eat enough, right, Boss Wasu?"

Su Chen didn't respond.

This is none of your business.

Zhang Maolin acted very annoyed, thinking that he had eaten too much just now. "Then you can't... Hey, hey, hey, forget it! I mean, I have an unreasonable request."

"If, let's just say if! If, in the end, the right to host the event falls to Boss Su, I personally strongly suggest that Boss Li's service team come here to help. Of course, these are just my personal suggestions. As for how to do it in the end, it's up to you two."

Zhang Maolin knew that with Su Chen's personality, it was impossible for him to join the State Guesthouse to complete his banquet.

The banquet hall of Delicious is just okay, but the service team is a little lacking.

Although the girls are all good-looking, this service does not just require good looks. The key is to have the awareness.

The staff members under Li Wenkui have all undergone years of training, and they are very familiar with the precautions and etiquette required when receiving guests, and even when receiving guests from different countries.

These things are delicious and not available now.

Maybe in the future, but it’s not quite there yet.

Li Wenkui pursed his lips and frowned in silence for a moment, "Well, let's talk about this when we have concrete results."

"We should wait until we get the result. Can you give up the chicken wings you can't finish? We haven't even eaten much yet!"

Seeing Zhang Maolin so anxious and angry, Li Wenkui felt so happy.

You were grunting while eating meat just now, but now you don’t feel comfortable after eating so few chicken wings, right?

“No, that won’t work. I don’t feel very full.” Under Zhang Maolin’s gaze, Li Wenkui picked up the big and small dumplings with chopsticks and put them into his mouth all at once.

Then he gently pushed it over and spit the bone directly into the bowl.

Chewing the plump, tender and meaty chicken wings, "Hey, I haven't eaten so much in one meal for a long time."

Mao Lin's face darkened, thinking, if you eat Boss Su's fried rice, you probably won't be able to leave here, right?

But I felt something was not right.

We were apparently having a good meal just now, but why did they suddenly start talking about business? And then Mr. Li ate so much for no apparent reason, almost half of the chicken wings were eaten by him!

Zhang Maolin reviewed the situation carefully in his mind.

Who brought up this topic?

It’s none other than Li Wenkui.

Who remains silent after this is brought up?

Everyone spoke, except Li Wenkui!

so?

Zhang Maolin looked at Li Wenkui who was chatting with Boss Su.

My goodness, this old guy is usually honest, but I didn’t expect him to be so scheming?

I have been running the Maolin catering business for so many years, but one day I would be tricked by someone?

Zhang Maolin looked reluctantly at the bone china bowl in front of him and the shiny chicken wing bones inside, "I don't know when I'll be able to eat such plump chicken wings next time."

Since lunch has been eaten.

The final evaluation results are roughly available, and the next step is to wait for the association to hold a meeting to discuss the final results.

Ling Shuyu arranged for the guests to rest in the hotel on the top floor.

Li Wenkui stayed at the end and watched everyone leave the kitchen. He turned around and said, "Boss Su, can I ask you a question?"

Su Chen was just about to tidy up the kitchen.

"what?"

Li Wenkui raised his hand, then put it down again, and asked in confusion, "Is there any special benefit in wearing such a formal suit when cooking?"

Forehead?

This was not the first time that Su Chen was asked this question, but it was the first time that he heard someone ask this question. He did not expect that Li Wenkui, who was already quite old, would use such trendy words.

"It's not that there's any bonus, but don't you think this is cool?"

Li Wenkui thought of many answers, but this was the only one he hadn't thought of.

You cook in a suit just to look cool?

It’s like when a certain star was on a show and the host asked him: Why did you come to participate in this show?

The artist then said, didn’t you invite me here?

It's so embarrassing and scalp-numbing.

Li Wenkui left the kitchen embarrassedly and hurriedly followed everyone into the elevator.

After simply cleaning the kitchen, the rest of the cleaning was left to Aunt Fang.

As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, Su Chen was immediately dragged by Cui Yufen to the lounge on the 19th floor.

After entering the room, he found that almost all the old employees of Delicious were gathered here. When they saw Su Chen coming in, everyone stood up immediately.

"Hey, what are you doing? Aren't you working today?" Su Chen joked in a relaxed tone.

Now the company basically adopts a laissez-faire system.

Except for Liu Shengnan and others who earn salary and commission from annual income, basically all the income of other people comes from commission.

For example, the home-cooked meals on the third floor and the snacks on the fourth floor.

Basically, the more you sell, the more everyone earns, and even the famous dishes on the fifth and sixth floors are all based on commissions.

Even in the Mingcai restaurant, the owner Su Chen actually did not make much money. The bulk of the profits were taken away by several national chefs, and the remaining small portion of profits remained in the company.

Under this system, it would be more accurate to say that Su Chen is working for everyone rather than working for Su Chen.

Anyway, to use Zhang Yi’s words, since joining Delicious, I never felt like I was working for someone else, I felt like I was my own boss!

"Xiao Su, what do you think about today's incident? Do you think we can get the right to host this event?" Lu Yongliang was obviously nervous when he spoke.

Wang Zhijun also said, "Yes, boss, I heard what those two comrades from the association said, and I feel that our advantage is not that great!"

"Nonsense! People have said that the advantage of our company is the boss himself. By then, we will all be kitchen helpers!" said Liu Guochu.

Cui Yufen sighed, "It doesn't matter whether I help in the kitchen or not. As long as the dishes are cooked well, what's wrong with helping in the kitchen? The problem now is that we really have no advantage. If it weren't for the theme of food exchange this time, this kind of thing would never have happened to our company!"

Su Chen moved his neck.

In order to prepare these four dishes and one soup, I slept on the recliner for too long, and my body felt a little stiff.

"Teacher Wang, you have a good relationship with Mr. Mao Lin. Can you help me ask him later? How many days will it take for the result to come out?"

Wang Zhijun raised his eyelids. "No need to ask. I asked when we went to the hotel just now. Three days. After they go back, one of them will analyze the data, and the other will report to the leader for a meeting. It will take at least three days to get the results."

Three days?

Su Chen nodded slightly, "Everyone should just do what they need to do. At this point, many things are no longer within our control. Isn't it okay to just wait for the results to come out?"

"But." Lu Yongliang wanted to say something but was interrupted by Cui Yufen.

"Xiao Su is right. We can't change the result even if we are anxious. Now that things have come to this, we just need to wait quietly for the result!"

Su Chen waved his hand, "You guys chat, I'm a little tired, I'm going to go back and rest first."

Leave the lounge and return to the office.

Su Chen fell onto the recliner, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

"It seems there is a chance."

The association's membership mechanism is that you can actively refresh it once after 0: every day.

There are still three days left before the final results are announced.

"What if I become a first-level member within these three days?"

A strange idea suddenly popped up in Su Chen's mind.
