Food Tycoon

Two years later, all the first batch of apprentices that Haixuan took in were graduates. Famous teachers gave rise to high-ranking apprentices, all of whom could be independent. Haixuan assigned them to various branches of Haibawang as head chefs, and he and Yu Lu worked as shopkeepers. I plan to spend half a year traveling around the mountains and rivers, exploring local delicacies, collecting ingredients, delving into recipes, visiting branches in various places, learning about the cooking skills of the chefs in the branches, and investigating where we can open branches.In the remaining half a year, he will come back to sit in the Sea Overlord, and train new apprentices by the way.It is conceivable that the days to come will be as moist as possible.

The first stop they set off was the capital. Yu Luchang had never been to the capital before, so he didn't know what it was like. He also heard that the roast duck here is very famous. He wanted to come and try it. Is it better than their Overlord Duck? .

It happened that Haibawang's third branch in the capital was about to open, and the two came over to attend the opening ceremony.This is the first Haibawang officially settled in the capital. The first two Haibawangs are all modified from the original Haijixian, so they cannot be regarded as the original Haibawang.

If the people in the capital are really rich, as long as the service is good and the food is delicious, they won’t have to worry about making money. For a high-end Y restaurant like Haibawang, customers still flow in like a stream of water. There are always no empty seats, and advance reservations are required. It's okay, if you decide to go to dinner on the spur of the moment, it will be difficult to get a vacant seat.The two restaurants here are completely cash cows. As the owner, it is natural to come to visit and express condolences in person to express the importance to the branch.

Yu Lu sat in the business class of the plane: "It's only two hours, let's take the economy class." The business class is half as expensive as the economy class.

Haixuan leaned on the back of the chair: "The economy class is too narrow, and it doesn't cost much to sit and feel aggrieved."

Yu Lu said: "Let's take the high-speed rail when we go back. I heard that the high-speed rail is also very fast, and you can enjoy the scenery on the way. Anan just took the high-speed rail, and it will only take a few hours."

Yu Nan is also in Beijing now, not to attend the opening ceremony of the branch, but to accompany his girlfriend to Beijing to play. I heard that his girlfriend Xiao Liang is coming to attend some kind of meeting.The little girl is really promising, and all the meetings are held in Beijing.

Haixuan said: "Yes, we will eat along the way."

Hearing this, Yu Lu couldn't help grinning happily. He could foresee that he would gain a lot of meat after eating all the way.

Haixuan asked again: "What flavor do you want to eat, I will arrange the itinerary."

Yu Lu thought for a while: "Actually, I want to try it. The Goubuli in J City is quite famous, so it must be delicious. Want to eat it?"

"Come on, even if the dog doesn't care, it still tastes good?" Haixuan didn't think so.

Yu Lu couldn't help laughing: "Don't say that, no matter what, it's been famous for so many years, I'm sorry if I don't try it."

Hai Xuan said indifferently: "It's up to you. Where else do you want to go?"

"We've arrived in the capital, let's go to the grassland and eat roast lamb." Yu Lu has always been yearning for the scenery beyond the Great Wall, and now that he has the opportunity, he must go and see it.

"Why don't you just run a little further west and eat Dapanji?" Haixuan suggested.

Yu Lu scratched his forehead: "Go so far to eat big plate chicken? Next time?" He was still mentally prepared, it was too far away.

Haixuan touched his chin: "I heard that the cold water fish in Kanas Lake tastes very good. I want to try it. The lake water is steamed without adding salt. It must be very delicious. Eat all the fresh fish in the world, and we will not be in vain for our Haibawang name."

Yu Lu saw him talking more and more outrageously: "You might as well bring up a water monster and cook it in soy sauce."

Haixuan squinted at him: "The braised water monster may not be able to do it. I can boil you in the lake first, and then roast you by the lake. Do you believe it?"

Yu Lu noticed that this guy's eyes were like hooks, and couldn't help but feel hot on his face, so he spat at him lightly: "Don't be ashamed!"

"Indeed, it is indecent in broad daylight. In order not to be indecent, I plan to settle this matter in the room tonight." When Hai Xuan said this, he stuck out his tongue and licked the finger on the corner of his lips. Looking sharp, Yu Lu could feel an electric current rushing from the groin along the spine to the top of the head, his scalp was numb, and he quickly turned his face away from him, his face became hotter.

Hai Xuan raised the corners of his lips and smiled charmingly.

When they arrived in the capital, they first stayed in the hotel. Yu Nan and Liang Yue lived in the same hotel, and Yu Nan helped them book their rooms.When they arrived at the hotel, Yu Nan wasn't there. His little girlfriend was out with friends, and he went to protect the flowers.

Yu Lu and Haixuan rested in the hotel for half a day. Before it got dark, Haixuan dragged Yu Lu to do something indecent. First boil it, then braise it in brown sauce, making full use of the time and not wasting it at all.Yu Lu ran all the way, and when he arrived, he fell in love with each other again, and soon fell into a dark and sweet dream.

In the evening, Yu Lu was awakened by Yu Nan's phone call: "Brother, didn't you mean to invite us to dinner? We are all waiting for you downstairs."

Yu Lu quickly got out of Haixuan's arms, wiped his face, shook his head, to wake himself up: "Oh, good. I'll come down right away."

Hai Xuan raised his leg and rubbed his foot on Lu's waist: "Sleep?"

Yu Lu raised his hand and slapped him on the leg: "Don't make trouble, get up, Anan and his friends are waiting for us to go down for dinner."

Hai Xuan yawned big, rubbed his eyes and sat up with his upper body propped up: "Oh."

When they went down, Yu Nan was being teased and teased by a group of chattering girls.Seeing Yu Lu and Haixuan coming out of the elevator, Liang Yue quickly called out, "Here he is, the Lord is here. Brother Lu, Brother Hai!" She stretched out her hand and waved towards Yu Lu.

A group of girls who were chattering just now all quieted down, staring at Yu Lu and Haixuan with eyes as bright as searchlights, with surprise and astonishment in their eyes.

Yu Lu was a little puzzled by the eyes of these people, why they were staring at the meat like a hungry wolf, he nodded to Liang Yue: "Xiao Liang."

Liang Yue introduced to everyone with a smile: "These are Yu Nan's two elder brothers, Brother Lu and Brother Hai. Brother wants to treat us to a big meal, isn’t there too many of us?”

"Not much. Hello!" Yu Lu contacted Yu Nan when he first arrived. Yu Nan was visiting the museum with Liang Yue and her friends, and said that he planned to invite them to Haibawang for dinner at night, so Yu Lu said he was coming please.

Several girls reached out to shake hands with Yu Lu Haixuan: "Hello! Thank you!"

Yu Lu shook hands with everyone, Haixuan stood outside the crowd, put his hands in his trouser pockets, coolly neither spoke nor stretched out his hands, just nodded slightly as a greeting, he looked at Yu Lu and those people He said hello and said, "I'll call the car at the door first."

The girls didn't feel embarrassed by Haixuan's cold reception. Seeing Haixuan turned away, they covered their mouths with their hands and chattered at his back.Yu Lu vaguely heard words such as "so cool" and "overbearing president", raised his eyebrows, turned to look at his younger brother, Yu Nan shrugged his shoulders, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, beauties, let's go."

The taxi went straight to the nearest Haibawang. This Haibawang opened on the busiest commercial street. The rent here is expensive, the cost is high, and the consumption is naturally not low, but the location is good and the reputation is good, so the customers are like clouds. The crowd is like a city.

The manager of the branch store knew that the boss would come to give instructions in person, so he reserved a seat early, otherwise he would have to sit and drink tea and wait like the customers outside.

After entering Haibawang, a well-trained waiter came up to receive him immediately: "Excuse me, have you made a reservation?"

Yu Lu nodded: "It's booked."

"Excuse me, what is the table number sir?" The waiter continued to smile.

Yu Lu paused for a moment: "Wait a minute." He took out his mobile phone and called the store manager.

Not long after, the store manager came out to greet him in person: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Hai, you are welcome to guide the work, this way please."

It was the first time for the waiter to see her two bosses. She had heard that the two bosses were young, but she didn't expect to be so handsome. She immediately followed the boss as if she had picked up a treasure. I can personally serve the handsome boss!Go back and show off to other colleagues.

The little girls who came with Liang Yue were a little excited, and a more impatient girl pulled Liang Yue's elbow: "Is this shop opened by your boyfriend's?"

Liang Yue shook his head and said: "No, it was opened by his brother and his brother's boyfriend, and he has no share." Liang Yue made this point very clearly. Lu and Haixuan worked hard with their own hands. They brought Yu Nan the advantages and convenience of life, and the starting point in the future will be higher, but if you say that they are the masters of Haibawang, that is not enough. After all, brothers are not father and son. .

"They started a business together, so much love! It looks like a perfect match." A girl had small bubbles of surprise in her eyes.

They entered the box under the leadership of the store manager, everyone sat down and began to order, the store manager began to recommend the signature dishes in the store, Haixuan moved his hand, and stopped the store manager: "Let the girls choose by themselves. You’re welcome, just order whatever you fancy.”

The girls each ordered a dish they wanted, and Yu Lu ordered a few more signature dishes recommended by the store manager.After ordering the dishes, Haixuan went out with the store manager. Yu Lu wanted to follow, but Haixuan stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder: "I'll go, you stay here to chat with everyone."

Yu Lu nodded his head and stopped moving.Haixuan's aura was too strong. When he was around, the girls didn't dare to speak boldly. Once he left, everyone let go and started chatting.

Yu Lu asked Liang Yue, "What meeting are you here for?"

Liang Yue said: "We participated in the [-]th anniversary celebration of the website. These friends are all Internet authors, and they are writing articles like me." Liang Yue did not intend to hide his writing. If you are a male lover, you can't look down on her writing Tanmei.

Yu Lu looked at Liang Yue and admired: "So you are all writers?"

The girls all laughed, waved their hands and said, "It's not a writer, they are all internet writers."

"It's amazing, it's amazing. Your website should be doing well, and you're also holding an anniversary celebration." Yu Lu has always respected scholars, let alone people who can write books. In his heart, he is a writer. Unexpectedly, Anan I found a writer girlfriend, and the cultural level of their family has been rising steadily.

Liang Yue said: "Of course it's good. Our website has published a lot of classics. Our Xiaoyou's novels have also sold film and television copyrights. Recently, we are planning to shoot a TV series. The actors are all popular stars." a girl.

Everyone said: "Yes, yes, Xiaoyou is amazing, she is a role model for all of us."

The girl named Xiaoyou giggled, and said modestly, "Actually, I'm just lucky."

Yu Lu smiled and said, "It's really amazing, it's amazing. When the filming is finished, tell me to watch it."

Xiaoyou quickly waved his hand: "Don't, I feel that acquaintances are embarrassed to read my things, and I always feel that what I write is very naive."

Everyone laughed and brought this topic to the past.

While they were chatting, the waiter brought up the food, but Haixuan hadn't appeared yet, Yu Lu thought he should have something to do, so Yu Lu greeted everyone to eat: "You're all starving, let's eat."

Liang Yue said, "Where's Brother Hai?"

Yu Lu glanced at the door: "He should have something else to do, let's eat first."

The first dish served was white-cut chicken.These girls are from all over the country, and most of them have never eaten white-cut chicken. Looking at the neatly stacked chicken with no sauce, they are a little afraid to put down their chopsticks.

Liang Yue said: "Hurry up and eat it, this is white-cut chicken." She took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, and everyone saw that the severed bone marrow was still slightly red, so they hesitated even more.

Seeing that they were not moving, Liang Yue took a piece and put it in the small right bowl: "It's really delicious, try it if you don't believe me."

Yu Nan also took a bite, and said pleasantly, "Brother Hai made this?"

Yu Lu was a little surprised, so he picked up a piece and tasted it. Not to mention, it was really Haixuan's handicraft. It turned out that he went to the kitchen to cook and couldn't stay idle: "He really did it."

Liang Yue didn't let his friends pick it up anymore, and quickly put his head down to eat, and said while eating, "I won't give in to you, Brother Hai's cooking skills may only be eaten once in a lifetime."

Xiaoyou took the lead to take a bite of the chicken, and then his eyes lit up: "Wow, it's really delicious, smooth and tender, refreshing and delicious, not greasy at all, hurry up and try it all."

Hearing what she said, the other girls quickly stretched out their chopsticks to pick it up.Before the second dish was served, the plates of white-cut chicken had been swept away. Everyone was still full of satisfaction and couldn't help licking their mouths: "I didn't expect it to be really not greasy at all, and it was so delicious. This is steamed directly Ready to eat?"

Yu Lu said: "Kill the chicken, then soak it in boiling water for about 15 minutes, let it cool, cut it into pieces, and add the sauce. This should be free-range grass chicken. It is less than a year old and very tender. This kind of chicken is perfect for white-cut chicken."

Liang Yue said: "The main reason is that Brother Hai is good at cooking. I have eaten a lot of white-cut chicken, but they are not as delicious as Haibawang. Brother Lu will teach me how to cook in the future."

Yu Lu said with a smile, "Of course you're willing to learn." This girl is quite virtuous, if my younger brother marries to be his wife, he will be able to go out of the hall and into the kitchen.

After the second dish was served, Haixuan hadn't come yet, so Yu Lu couldn't sit still: "You guys eat first, I'll go and have a look too."

After Yu Lu went out, the girls in the room all chattered: "The relationship between the two of them is really good."

"That's right, that's right, Brother Hai even cooks for Brother Lu himself."

"Xiao Yue, you really have the blessings of taste and eyes. I can go along with you. Yu Nan, do you have any brothers or sisters in your family?" A lively and playful girl asked.

Yu Nan smiled and said, "I also have a second elder brother and two younger sisters."

"Is your second brother married?" the girl asked quickly.

Yu Nan said, "My nephew is seven years old."

"Aha, not bad, not bad, she is a young lady, Hua Hua, you can go to Yu Nan's house as a child bride, and wait for the young lady to grow up." A girl booed.

Hua Hua glared at her friend: "I don't need to be a child bride-in-law, doesn't Yu Nan still have two younger sisters, he and his brother are both good-looking, and the younger sister is definitely not bad, I want to be his sister-in-law!"

Yu Nan Fu smiled helplessly, the girls of this group of heavy-mouthed girls.

"Just save yourself, Yu Nan was the first to disagree."

Yu Nan quickly stated his position: "I have no disagreement, if my sister is willing."

"Look, Yu Nan must be the most enlightened brother."

Yu Nan had no choice but to be open-minded, his own brother found a boyfriend, if he didn't accept it, he would lose his brother.

Yu Lu went out of the box, found the kitchen, and knocked on the door. The waiter at the delivery window spoke with a strong northern accent: "This is the kitchen, outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Yu Lu said, "I'm looking for your store manager."

The other party looked at Yu Lu nervously: "What's the matter?" He thought he came to complain to the store manager.

Yu Lu had no choice but to say, "I'm looking for Mr. Hai."

The other party said: "Please wait a moment." The person who knew Mr. Hai was in the kitchen must not be an outsider, because apart from the shop assistant, no customers knew that the boss was coming.

After a while, the store manager came to open the door in person: "Mr. Yu, are you here too?"

Now is the peak time for dinner, the kitchen is in full swing, dozens of masters are doing their own thing, and the sound of pots and pans is clashing one after another.Yu Lu saw Haixuan at a glance. He was watching a chef cook. The store manager rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Boss Hai is instructing our chef to cook."

Yu Lu nodded and walked towards Haixuan: "Why don't you go to eat?"

Haixuan turned his head and saw him, his serious expression softened: "Why are you here?"

"We've all eaten, but we haven't seen you here yet," Yu Lu said.

Haixuan said: "I'll just check the kitchen and wait for this dish to be fried." He turned his head and said to the chef just now, "Now put salt and pepper, and it can be served. By the way, less salt."

The chef put the dishes on the plate, Haixuan picked up the salt and pepper shrimp, and said to Lu, "Let's go."

The chef who was frying salt and pepper shrimp just now raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The boss stared at him cooking, and almost couldn't even lift the pot and spoon.

Yu Lu smiled: "You're still staring at him for frying."

Haixuan said: "Although every chef has his own cooking style, but seeing some of their obvious mistakes, I still can't help but want to say. The seafood in the north is much more delicious than the seafood in our side. But northerners tend to have a heavy taste, they like to cook with soy sauce rather than steamed and boiled, which covers up the original umami taste of the food, which is a pity."

Yu Lu said: "It can't be helped, just do as the Romans do, KFC comes to China, it still needs to improve the taste."

The store manager caught up: "Boss Yu, Boss Hai, I'll make arrangements later, how about inviting you to give a lecture to the chefs in the kitchen?"

Hai Xuan said: "You don't need to make it so serious, it's okay to have a tea party, just chat casually."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." The store manager nodded repeatedly.

Haixuan and Yu Lu left the kitchen and returned to the private room. Everyone was eating happily and chatting happily.

Yu Lu said with a smile: "What are you talking about, so happy."

Liang Yue suppressed a smile and said, "Xiaoyou said that she wants to be a child bride for Ah Bing in your family. She likes Haibawang's food so much."

Yu Lu laughed: "Welcome, our Ah Bing is very naughty right now, and needs to be disciplined by someone."

Xiao You blushed, and protested: "You guys with dirty thoughts, when did I say that I would be a child bride for Mrs. Xiao Zheng!"

"You said it clearly yourself, but you don't admit it again." Huahua teased her.

Xiaoyou coughed: "Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, there are new dishes coming up, hurry up and eat."

Huahua sighed and said, "It would be great if Uncle Guan invited all of us to Haibawang for dinner tomorrow."

"Come on, Guan San is such a stingy person, you still want to eat the Overlord's meal, it's fine if he doesn't eat the Overlord's meal!" Xiaoyou said.

Liang Yue said: "I don't expect him to invite us to eat Haibawang. Let's use the money saved for dinner to change to a server. Yesterday on the phone, it was drawn 504 again."

Huahua clenched her fists and said: "When I become a domineering president, I'll buy it, and then I will replace all the servers with new ones, and those scumbags with bad skills and bad skills Replace the cute ones, 歘, 歘, and 歘, keep the cute ones for fun, and invite a few technical experts to fix the loopholes and do a good job of preventing theft. Don't let others treat our backstage as a back garden Just go in and out as you like, and I'll be Consummated!"

The girls all laughed.

Yu Lu didn't know what they were talking about. He probably complained about the bad website.

Liang Yue turned his face to Haixuan and Yu Lu, and said with a smile: "Brother Hai, Brother Lu, are you interested in running a website? Buy our website, and it's very profitable. I really can't bear the fact that the website is so turbulent." I don’t know any other domineering presidents, so I can only pin my hopes on you.”

Hai Xuan didn't raise his eyelids: "Not interested."

Yu Nan said: "The website is so bad, you can change it."

The girls said in unison: "No change!"

"You don't understand, it's actually very good." Liang Yue said suddenly.

Several other girls despised her: "We don't change because we have nowhere to go." Hey, Jinjiang's Danmei family is the only one.

Yu Nan said: "Forget it then, when I become the president in the future, I will let you play with the acquisition."

"Wow, Liang Yue, you are so happy!" The girls all yelled.

A few young people made a fuss, Haixuan peeled the prawns for Yu Lu as if nothing had happened, and put them on a plate: "Eat it."

Yu Lu picked up the shrimp and put it in his mouth: "Well, the shrimp in the north are indeed fresher!"
