Food Tycoon

Yu Lu never thought that Jin Nanshan was willing to accept him as an apprentice. He felt that if he wanted to accept an apprentice, it should be an apprentice with a talent like Haixuan.

Jin Nanshan accepted Haixuan as an apprentice instead of Lulu, because Haixuan received relatively systematic professional training since he was a child. He already had his own experience and achievements in cooking, and he almost formed a system of his own. I don't have much to teach him.I had chatted with Yu Lu before, and found that this young man's thinking was very suitable for him, and he should be a very down-to-earth person.The fish porridge he made is tender and delicate, with a pleasant fragrance, and he has a good grasp of the knife and fire. He has only learned cooking for less than a year, and he already has such a level, which shows that he is also very talented. Shanghai Xuan wanted to recommend him, and Jin Nanshan agreed to accept him as his apprentice.

Qin Weibin looked at his master and then at Yu Lu, with jealousy and dissatisfaction in his eyes. When he went to see his master as an apprentice, he worked for him for a whole year before he got his approval.Now that this little junior brother is getting started, it is almost effortless to get started, so I have to train this kid well so that he can clearly understand his identity.

Jin Nanshan drank the porridge, and then began to ask about Yu Lu's situation: "Your name is Yu Lu, right? Are you working under Boy Hai?"

Hai Xuan laughed: "Old Jin, I work under Yu Lu. He is my boss and I am his chef."

Jin Nanshan looked at Haixuan in surprise, and Yu Lu quickly said: "No, no, the restaurant was opened by me and Ah Hai. He is the chef, and I learned cooking from him."

Jin Nanshan asked Haixuan somewhat unexpectedly: "Where's your grandfather's shop?"

Haixuan said: "I don't care, my uncle is taking care of it. I plan to start my own business. In the future, we will run our Haibawang restaurant like your restaurant back then. People will never forget it when they mention it."

When Jin Nanshan heard Haixuan say this, he smiled very happily: "It's good for young people to have their own ideas. Unfortunately, no one took over my shop and closed it." This is probably the most regrettable thing for a late hero , the great cause that he was most proud of back then ended sadly because there was no successor, and was gradually forgotten by the world.

Qin Weibin said: "Master, didn't I help you continue to open your store? Now this Nanshan Guild Hall is also yours. How can it be considered closed?"

Jin Nanshan waved his hand: "This is your store, not my original store. Our business philosophy is different. I sell vegetables, and you sell services. You sell those fake things all day long. If you continue like this, it will close sooner or later! "

Qin Weibin was trained by the master in front of the newly recruited younger brother again, and he felt a little unhappy: "My business philosophy is not wrong. In what age, people not only pay attention to filling their stomachs, but also pay more attention to spiritual enjoyment."

"Enjoy the fart, you come to the restaurant to eat, and your tongue isn't satisfied, so what enjoyment are you talking about?" Jin Nanshan criticized unceremoniously.

Qin Weibin said: "The food in our guild hall is not unpalatable. Although it has not reached the level of your master, it is not inferior to the level of other restaurants. Ah Hua and Ah Fu are both technicians, and there are a large number of senior chefs..."

"The technicians can't eat, have you ever eaten the food they cook?" Jin Nanshan said.

Qin Weibin said: "Of course I ate it, their level is definitely above the middle level."

Jin Nanshan said: "If you don't say hello to them, go over temporarily and check the food they cook, and you will know the true level of your club. See if I have deliberately belittled their ability and level."

Qin Weibin stopped talking.

Jin Nanshan said again: "Don't attribute the poor business of the guild hall to the economic downturn. Now there are restaurants that make money everywhere. Boy Yu, Boy Hai, tell me how much money your restaurant makes a month?"

Neither Yu Lu nor Haixuan expected that Jin Nanshan would ask this question, do you want to tell them the truth?They looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, and then laughed awkwardly.

Jin Nanshan also felt that his question was too direct, so he said, "Then tell me about the business conditions of your store."

Yu Lu thought for a while: "The occupancy rate of our store is above 150%."

Jin Nanshan looked at Qin Weibin with contempt: "What about the attendance rate in your store, is it [-]%?"

Qin Weibin said: "The profit margin of each store is different. My place is high-end and high-consumption."

"Don't lie to yourself. If this continues, you will lose [-]% of your customers. Don't deal with those fake ones. You'd better cook the food honestly, so as to survive. I've eaten well, Yu Xiaozi and Hai Go for a walk with me, boy, and help me bring Zhaocai." Jin Nanshan put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up slowly, and Yu Lu quickly reached out to support him.

He was still thinking about who was recruiting money, so Jin Nanshan yelled: "Zhaocai." There was a dog barking outside, and Yu Lu realized that it was the big black dog tied outside.

Yu Lu looked at the big-eared black dog: "Master, is this a fortune?"

Zhang Yiwei laughed with a "poof", such a mighty Labrador actually has such a silly name.

Jin Nanshan said: "Yes, I will help me walk the dog every day in the future, and it will go out for at least an hour a day."

Yu Lu looked at Zhaocai, then turned his head to look at Haixuan, bared his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it fierce?" Zhaocai is a pure black Labrador, except for two slightly different brown eyes, it is not at all I can't see its expression clearly, which makes people unpredictable.

"Labrador is a very smart dog. If you treat it well, it can feel it." Haixuan knows dogs very well. He saw that Zhaocai is a very docile and smart dog, so he walked over and pinched the dog's ears , patted it on the head, then untied its chain, and handed it to Yu Lu, "Cultivate more relationships with it."

Zhaocai was unchained, walked to the foot of Jin Nanshan and sniffed, rubbed his leg with his body, Jin Nanshan patted Zhaocai's head: "Yes, Zhaocai is very smart, usually no one is with me, It’s the only one that stays with me. Yu boy, you can change the traction for it.”

Yu Lu Yiyan did it, he also had dogs before, but they were all native dogs, they were never tied, and they let them run around, unlike this pet dog, who had to play with it every day.Yu Lu remembered Jin Nanshan's words again, that he had to cook for him for two months. If he went to their place, that would be fine, and it would be convenient for him to live in his own home, or arrange to live in Yingxu Hotel, but if If you don't go here, don't you want to stay here?Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at Haixuan, wondering if he had noticed this.

Zhang Yiwei liked dogs very much, so he helped Yu Lu walk the dog together.Zhaocai was trapped in a quilt for a day, and now that he was free, he was very excited. He spread his limbs and ran wildly. It was very big and weighed at least fifty or sixty kilograms. Can't help but be dragged by it to trot all the way to keep up with its footsteps, Zhang Yiwei laughed happily beside him.

Haixuan walked slowly with Jin Nanshan at the back: "Old Jin, it's not usually your walk that attracts money."

Jin Nanshan said: "Where can I walk it, the security guard Ah Quan helped me walk it."

"Elder Jin will go back with us, or let Yu Lu stay here?" Haixuan is most concerned about this question, whether he and Yu Lu will live apart in the future.

Jin Nanshan said: "Let Boy Yu stay with me for a while, I'll check his character and temper first, and then talk about other things."

Haixuan said: "There is nothing to say about Yu Lu's character and temper. Mr. Jin, do you know how I met him? I survived an accident, got injured, and was saved by him... "Then Haixuan told about the meeting and acquaintance between himself and Yu Lu, and about Yu Lu's debt to his deceased father to drag his younger brother and nephew.

Jin Nanshan nodded: "No wonder you opened a shop in a small place like xx. I said that no matter how much you want to start your own business, you won't go there. In this way, he is still a responsible person."

"Absolutely. He is a very down-to-earth and talented person, otherwise I would not recommend him." Haixuan looked at Yu Lu who was dragged by Zhaocai and was helpless, and a smile spread into his eyes.

Jin Nanshan said: "I thought you would learn from me by yourself, but I didn't expect to recommend him."

Haixuan said: "He learns the same as me, but in comparison, he is more like a blank sheet of paper, and should be more suitable for Mr. Jin's appetite."

"Then he can stay after you finish the game. I am just lonely, old man. It's good to have someone to talk with." Jin Nanshan said.

Haixuan still wants to lobby: "Elder Jin can't go to xx, so he can live in our house. There are also Yu Lu's younger siblings and nephews, so we can bring Zhaocai there. The whole family is very lively, and the house is right by the sea. , doesn’t Mr. Jin want to go for a walk by the beach every day?”

Jin Nanshan glanced at Haixuan with a smile: "You live with them?"

Haixuan let out a cheer: "You said that I'm a loner, how boring it is to live by myself, they all regard me as a family member, living together is lively and warm, how nice it is."

Jin Nanshan smiled and said nothing.

Haixuan still spared no effort: "Don't you want to enjoy family happiness, Mr. Jin?"

This point hit Jin Nanshan's heart. The old man has lived for nearly 90 years, and the most regrettable thing is that he cannot have children and grandchildren around his knees. However, he still said calmly, "Don't worry, there will be time to go."

Haixuan knew that he could only do this, and the next step would depend on Yu Lu's performance and the old man's wishes.

After walking the dog and coming back from a walk, the evening game also started. Yu Lu went to watch the game with his master, but Haixuan said he had something to do, so he didn't go with them.

Haixuan went to look for Qin Weibin. He clearly felt Qin Weibin's dissatisfaction and hostility today. He felt that it was necessary to resolve the conflict as much as possible. He suffers, and if you make him a stumbling block, you will be beyond your reach.

When Qin Weibin saw Haixuan, he said coldly, "I'm not free, please go back."

Hai Xuan smiled and said, "Boss Qin doesn't need to be so indifferent to us. We are not your enemies, and we are not even competitors now."

Qin Weibin snorted coldly: "I'm not a competitor now, what about the future?"

Hai Xuan said with a smile: "I can't guarantee the future. If we really become competitors, we will each rely on our own ability. But I can guarantee that Yu Lu will never use the name of Jin Lao to promote business , you can rest assured about this. And how Lao Jin's property was arranged at the beginning, and how it will be arranged in the future, Yu Lu will not get involved."

Qin Weibin said: "You have the final say on his affairs?"

Hai Xuan nodded: "This is what he asked me to convey. What we need is Lao Jin's culinary skills. The old man regrets that no one can take good care of his craftsmanship. You and I are considered craftsmen, so we should understand this feeling .Now that he is willing to teach, shouldn't we fulfill the old man's wish?"

Qin Weibin did not speak, because Jin Nanshan lamented to him more than once that he had no successors.He also knows that he has not completely passed on the master's craftsmanship, let alone carried it forward, but he does not feel that it is his own responsibility. .He felt that he hadn't done a good job, so he went to find someone to inherit it.But now that the master has recruited an apprentice, he finds that he is not so open-minded. He is worried that this junior apprentice will steal his limelight, take away his job, and divide the property that originally belonged to him.

Haixuan said: "I understand your worry about competition from the same family, but before that, Boss Qin should be more concerned about how to survive the competition with other restaurants. If I guess right, the Nanshan Club should be operating at a loss .”

Qin Weibin didn't say a word. The Nanshan clubhouse has been losing money year after year. He is holding on for the sake of face: "Then how do you think I should stop the loss?"

Haixuan said: "Either stop going out of business for rectification, re-open, or transform. When you are a restaurant, you must pay attention to the kitchen and not deal with it sloppily. If the first meal you eat here is too hard to bite Goose, marinade that is too salty to eat, will you come again?"

Qin Weibin didn't speak, and it took a long time before he said coldly: "Can you guarantee that Yu Lu will not take any property from my master?"

Haixuan said: "We don't need money, houses and other roads. We will earn them."

Qin Weibin said: "Why do you guarantee him?"

Haixuan looked at him and said, "Do you know Haijixian?"

Qin Weibin nodded: "I have heard of it." When it comes to Haijixian, there are not many people who love to eat it, let alone people in the industry.Moreover, Haijixian is preparing to go public recently, and the media has reported it more than once.

Haixuan said: "Haijixian was founded by my grandfather. I am the largest shareholder of Haijixian. Yu Lu is my savior. Do you think what I say is reliable?"

Qin Weibin looked at Haixuan, nodded after a while, "Okay, remember what you said today." No wonder Master asked about his grandfather's shop at that time, it seems that Master already knew that Haixuan was Haihong's grandson .

Haixuan said: "In the next time, Yu Lu will take care of Mr. Jin here, so please take care of him."

After Haixuan came out from Qin Weibin, he went directly to the arena to find his way. Before the competition reached the judge stage, Jin Nanshan got impatient and went back to rest.Haixuan dragged Yu Lu back, and spent time with him on the bed in the hotel, hugging him and never wanting to let go.

Yu Lu said: "Why are you hugging me all the time? You don't let me watch the game. I want to know how the game is going tonight."

Hai Xuan pressed him down, hugged his waist tightly, and rubbed his nose against his neck: "Don't look, no one will surpass your man."

"What an egomaniac." Yu Lu laughed, "You should let me take a bath anyway, I walked the dog today and my whole body is sweating."

"Let's go wash together."

Yu Lu smiled: "Why are you so clingy like Ah Bing today?"

"Because we will be separated in two days." Haixuan hung on the road like a koala, and said sullenly.

Yu Lu couldn't laugh anymore: "Master doesn't want to go back with us?"

Haixuan said: "I persuaded you, but it's useless. He insists on testing you. You have to work harder and take the old man over as soon as possible."

Yu Lu became nervous: "What's the test for me?"

"Don't be nervous, just be yourself. The older generation pays more attention to character when accepting apprentices, so just be careful." Haixuan patted his back.

Yu Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I have to go home first and tell my brothers and sisters?"

"No, I'll just explain to them. I'm afraid you'll go back, so I don't want you to come here. I'll come and find you when I'm free. I'll drive very quickly."

"I'm not at home. You are the only one to worry about in the store. You must be very tired. Don't drive here all the time. It's not safe." Although Yu Lu also wanted to see Haixuan, he was more worried about Haixuan's safety.

"I come here once in a while, not every day."

The two entered the bathroom, Yu Lu wanted to take off his clothes, Haixuan stopped him: "Don't move, I will help you today."

Yu Lu had no choice but to stop and look at Haixuan. Haixuan helped him take off his clothes, knelt down again, helped him unbutton his jeans, and took off his underwear. He leaned over and kissed the little bird lying quietly in the grass.Yu Lu quickly stretched out his hands to cover it: "No, I haven't washed it yet."

"Not dirty." Haixuan's voice was a little hoarse. He stood up, took off his clothes, turned on the faucet, and let the warm water gently pour down from the top of his head. He gently rubbed Yu Lu's hair with his hands, "It's a little long, tomorrow Go get a haircut."

Yu Lu closed his eyes: "Let's go together."

"it is good."

Haixuan squeezed the shampoo on the road, and massaged it for him with his five fingers, just like his grandma washed his hair when he was a child.A strange feeling surged up in Yu Lu's heart. He was being treated with incomparable tenderness and love by Haixuan. His heart was so soft that it turned into a puddle of water. He felt the love in his heart surge out and soon submerged the top of his head.He slid his throat, stretched out his hand, touched the waist of the man opposite him, stretched out his hand to wrap it around, hugged him tightly, and pressed his body against him.

Haixuan's hands paused, he rubbed his cheek against Yu Lu's bubbly hair, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Yu Lu was afraid that the soap bubbles would flow into his eyes, so he kept his eyes closed all the time. His vision was pitch black. There was only this man's body in the world for him to cling to. He said, "I'll wash your hair for you in a while."

Haixuan moved his hands again: "Okay."

After Yu Lu's hair was washed, Haixuan squatted down, and Yu Lu knelt behind him to help him wash his hair. Haixuan only felt the electric current flow from Yu Lu's fingertips through his scalp to his heart. I understand why Yu Lu washes his hair for him. It's not that no one has washed his hair for him before, but it's the first time his lover has done this for him. This feeling makes him feel sweeter and more satisfying than making love.He said hoarsely, "I will wash your hair every day from now on, as long as we are together."

Yu Lu gently grabbed Haixuan's scalp, let his short hair brush between his fingers, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay."

In Haixuan's plan, tonight should be from the bathroom to the bed, and from the bed to the bathroom, so as to relieve the pain of parting they are about to face. However, because of the gentleness of washing their hair, he actually felt They were extremely satisfied, so the two of them didn't do anything in the end, they just hugged each other, their limbs intertwined and hugged each other and fell asleep, as if making love would destroy this beautiful feeling.

The deepest love does not come from physical pleasure, but from the connection of soul.Before going to sleep, Haixuan thought vaguely that he suddenly felt that their love had sublimated.

Waking up the next morning, Haixuan found that the sharp weapon of his morning erection was pressing against another warm body, and his desires were all awakened along with it. Thinking of the sublimation before going to bed last night, he couldn't help but hook up. The corners of his lips began to rise, the love after sublimation needs more physical pleasure to prove right or wrong, so he turned over and lay down on Lu, and started to do things that he didn't do last night.

Yu Lu woke up after being harassed by him, his rested body was easily stirred up, and his rationality still remained: "Don't make trouble, I have to go to the game today." However, this will to protest compared to the raging desire , It was simply too powerless and thin, and in the next second, it was swept away and sank into the abyss of desire. There were only soft kisses and rapid panting sounds in the room, and the room was full of beauty.

When they arrived at the venue, the first round of competition in the morning was almost over, the judges were commenting, and Mr. Jin was still sitting by the side of the studio watching the competition.Seeing the two of them, he frowned and said, "Too lazy!"

Yu Lu was so ashamed that he left such a bad impression on Master on the first day.Haixuan said without changing his face: "Old Jin, we didn't sleep in late, Yu Lu and I went shopping in the city and familiarized ourselves with the market, so Yu Lu can buy vegetables for you to cook."

Jin Nanshan's face softened a little: "I get all my usual dishes directly from the store, so I don't need to buy them."

Yu Lu hurriedly said: "I will be responsible for the master's food in the future." He also wants to eat, so he can't take advantage of the club. The master taught him that he doesn't charge tuition fees, and he should be responsible for the food.

Jin Nanshan glanced at him without any objection: "Then I'll leave it to you. You can move to my place tonight, and you can tidy up one of the rooms yourself."

Haixuan quickly said: "Old Jin, why don't you just move in after the competition is over, there will be a team competition tomorrow, and it will be easier for us to communicate together."

Jin Nanshan nodded: "Alright."

The scores on the second day were much higher than those on the first day, and there were many more players who scored 90 points, but still no one surpassed Haixuan's score, and one of them almost caught up with the score of 94.5 points, compared Haixuan was 0.1 points lower.Yu Lu felt that if Haixuan played today, his score should be even higher.

After the individual competition ended, the organizing committee awarded prizes to the top ten winners, and Haixuan will take the first place in the city to participate in the semi-finals in the province.However, the chefs from the host Nanshan Guild Hall failed to qualify. Although the judges' scores were taken care of, they lost the qualification for the individual competition. Qin Weibin decided that he would personally participate in the next team competition and try his best to recover the honor he just lost.

The results of the individual competition belong to individuals, and they can participate in the evaluation of the top ten famous chefs.The results of the team competition represent the participating units and participate in the evaluation of the top [-] famous yam restaurants.The two are not in conflict.Of course, if the personal performance is good, it will naturally win honors for the participating units.

The lottery for the team competition was drawn by Yu Lu after the awards for the individual competition. He got the number 66, a very auspicious number.Everything is waiting for the start of the game.
