Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu objectively expressed his feelings to Mr. Ye: "Their cooking skills are not bad. If we want to win, we must first try our best, and secondly, we must make a good plan."

Mr. Ye felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the first sentence, but after hearing the rest, he regained some confidence.

"Boss Li, do you think we have a chance to win?"

"Yes." Li Yu affirmed, "We have to trust the cook."

Even without her help, the dishes they cooked were recognized by the people of Beizhou Prefecture, which showed that they were quite capable.

Sitting down and drinking a sip of tea, Li Yu said, "I forgot to ask this morning, besides the six-on-six competition, have the other rules of this competition been decided?"

Mr. Ye shook his head: "Not yet, but when the competition was agreed upon, it was said that the names would be submitted in the morning of the day before the competition, and the rules would be released in the afternoon. By then, we will know who will compete with whom, and we will also know what ingredients both sides will use in the competition."

Li Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. She took two steps inside the house and said thoughtfully, "If we knew the ingredients, it would be much easier."

In this way, even if the cook doesn't know how to cook, she can stay up late to set the menu and teach them how to cook.

Things were simpler than she thought.

Then the next step is to determine the candidate.

Mr. Ye has already selected several people. Li Yu looked at the list and felt that there was no problem.

All the chefs who came to Beizhou Prefecture had been taught by her. Their skills were all about the same, and it was impossible to choose the best or the worst.

"Sir, please hand in the list tomorrow. When the list of ingredients comes out in the afternoon, immediately send someone to buy the ingredients. No, tomorrow morning, sir, send someone to buy all the ingredients that can be bought in Beizhou Prefecture. In order to win, those restaurants may do something tricky in advance so that we can't buy ingredients in the afternoon." Li Yu reminded.

Mr. Ye thought what she said was right and agreed immediately.

"Also, the restaurant can be open tomorrow morning and noon, but don't receive any guests in the afternoon. I will go to the restaurant early tomorrow afternoon, and once the list of ingredients comes out, we will start deciding on the menu and learning how to cook."

Mr. Ye: "I'll listen to you, Boss Li."

The next day.

After breakfast, Li Yu had nothing to do in the morning, so he strolled slowly on the street.

The competition between Jinyulou and Wanghailou restaurants is undoubtedly the biggest event in the city in recent days, and many people on the street are talking about it.

Li Yushun listened to some of it and found that although most people thought Jinyulou was good, they did not think that Jinyulou could beat the three restaurants.

Li Yu could understand their thoughts. Indeed, Wanghailou, Zhuyunju and Yipinju were all big restaurants in Beizhou Prefecture, with foundations, means and technology. No matter how powerful Jinyulou was, it was just an outside restaurant with a weak foundation, and it had to fight one against three. In this case, it was really hard to say what the result would be.

At noon, Li Yu pretended to be a guest and went to Jinyu Tower for lunch.

After all the other guests left, she quickly went to the kitchen to meet the cooks.

Most of the cooks here are women. When they see her, they stop what they are doing and come forward to talk. Last year, Li Yu taught them how to cook in Hujiazhuang. It can be said that Li Yu is their nominal master. The good business of Jinyulou is mostly due to Li Yu. With Li Yu's arrival, they almost have a backbone. In other words, they are not so panicked.

Li Yu knew exactly what they were thinking, and responded to them one by one with a smile.

same moment.

In the largest private room on the second floor of Beizhou Yipinju.

The managers of ten restaurants sat together and chatted and laughed.

"Have you seen the list that Beizhou Prefecture brought over? I took a look before I came here, and it was all women's names. Haha, let me tell you, women are the most vulnerable to being scared. During the competition tomorrow, if you say a few harsh words, those women will be scared out of their wits, and they will definitely not be able to cook."

"That's true. The competition site is not their kitchen. I don't believe those women can remain calm in front of the people of the whole city."

"As women, they should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. But they have to go to the store to cook. I don't know what they are thinking."

"Who cares what they think? Anyway, Jinyulou is just dreaming about fighting us. After tomorrow, they will definitely get out of Beizhou Prefecture."

Several restaurant managers talked enthusiastically, obviously believing that they would definitely win.

The manager of Wanghai Tower was not so reassured. "Don't look down on women. Don't forget that many people have praised the dishes of Jinyu Tower recently. Moreover, the ingredients for this competition were known in advance, so they had one night to prepare."

The steward of Yipinju sneered: "What can you do in one night? Don't worry, our chef has decades of skills."

The steward of Zhuyunju agreed: "Half of the ingredients this time are uncommon. Those women probably haven't seen them before, let alone cooked them, so we don't have to worry at all."

The manager of Wanghai Tower thought the same and felt relieved.

At 5:45 p.m., the rules were announced at the entrance of the Beizhou Chamber of Commerce.

Because there are many restaurants involved, the head of the Chamber of Commerce in Beizhou Prefecture acts as a middleman and is responsible for formulating the rules.

Many people watched.

As the manager of Jinyulou, Mr. Ye stood together with the managers of the other three restaurants.

The rules include the competition time, competition location, competition regulations, competition objects, and finally the ingredients needed for the competition.

When Mr. Ye heard the first four items, he didn't think anything of it until the last one.

Among the ingredients for the competition, there were actually two kinds of seafood.

Sea cucumber and scallops.

As the prince's man, he had naturally eaten and seen it, but had Boss Li and those chefs seen it?

Mr. Ye doesn't know.

It doesn’t matter if those chefs haven’t seen it, but I’m afraid that Boss Li hasn’t seen it either, which would be terrible.

It is too late to go to Beijing to ask the chef who knows these ingredients.

In addition to these two, there is another uncommon thing - cheese.

Mr. Ye clenched his fists, and after the Chamber of Commerce people read out the rules, he stood up and questioned the ingredients.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the manager of a restaurant standing in the crowd stepped forward and asked, "Manager Ye, do you think you can't win? If that's the case, why don't you just give up and admit defeat."

"Yes, if you can't win, just admit defeat and leave Beizhou Prefecture. But I didn't expect that the chef of Jinyulou didn't know the ingredients. It's really funny. He doesn't know how to cook with the ingredients?" The manager of another restaurant echoed.

These words were really harsh. Mr. Ye wanted to refute them, but his peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of Li Yu who was standing in the crowd.

Li Yu gestured to him that it was all right.

Mr. Ye: “…”

Boss Li seems to be confident.

There were still people making sarcastic remarks below, but Mr. Ye ignored them this time. He looked at the managers of the three restaurants participating in the competition and said, "We at Jinyulou will not admit defeat."
