Lu Songhe was stunned, unable to understand why Ye Yan said that.

Doesn’t this indirectly prove that there is nothing wrong with the royal dishes?

Those customers will feel more at ease when eating, right?

Cao Erbao smiled proudly: "Hahaha...Boss Ye, you're too kind! We can't help it, our royal cuisine recipes are more sophisticated, and our chef's cooking skills are even better. We truly deserve your praise!"

"But unfortunately, due to the impact of the Royal Cuisine, your Imperial Soup business has plummeted. I feel very guilty!"

"How about this, if you can't continue, I can go to great lengths to acquire the Imperial Soup Restaurant and open it as a branch of Royal Cuisine!"

Ye Yan responded with a faint smile.

"Don't worry about that. Imperial Soup Shop isn't closing down yet! After all, our core competitiveness is still medical skills!"

"With Zhongshengtang as our support, we will never be short of customers!"

"By the way, I'd like to ask, are the medicinal herbs used in your royal cuisine all top-grade, high-quality ones?"

Cao Erbao responded without hesitation.

"of course!"

The quality of Chinese medicinal materials is divided into many grades.

The best ones are top-grade quality goods, which are of course not cheap.

The imperial soup used in the past was made of top-grade quality goods, so we were confident when facing those distinguished guests.

Ye Yan frowned: "But when I tasted it just now, I felt that the quality of your medicinal materials... is a little bit off!"

"Boss Cao, you haven't been cheated, have you?"

Cao Erbao subconsciously glanced at the chef, Wang Huai'en, who was watching the fun not far away.

He hired this chef from another place at a high price and he is known as the Kitchen God of Central Plains.

Wang Huai'en felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look Cao Erbao in the eye.

Cao Erbao immediately understood: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! The ingredients used in our royal cuisine are absolutely the best!"

"On the contrary, your imperial soup, the same medicinal food, is not as effective as ours. Who knows what they use..."

Ye Yan suddenly stood up and pretended to leave.

"Whether the ingredients are of the highest quality or not, who can tell if they're genuine or not just by talking about it?"

"I've just reported this to the relevant authorities, and they'll be here to check later! I'm sure they'll be able to clear your name!"

Cao Erbao glared and almost burst into curses.

But he couldn't tell the truth in front of so many people, so he could only swallow his anger.

"Second Master, I have nothing to fear from my own shadow! If you have the guts, feel free to investigate!"

"I'm just worried that some people might have pink eye and are reporting maliciously!"

Ye Yan sneered, shook his head, and without saying anything else, he took Lu Songhe away.

Ye Yan's move of using the same method against the opponent worked.

The customers who were originally watching the fun couldn't help but feel confused.

"Could it be that the ingredients used in the royal cuisine are really inferior?"

"Their dishes are no cheaper than the Imperial Soup! And the Imperial Soup is under the supervision of Dr. Lu, so it's definitely more trustworthy!"

"That's not true. The Royal Cuisine still tastes better! They all use the same medicinal recipe, so of course I'll choose the one that tastes better!"

"But what if it tastes better because the herbs used are inferior and lack the medicinal taste? I'm tired of all the delicacies from land and sea. I just want to be healthy!"

"Then who can explain why the royal food is more effective? Is there something fishy going on?"

Ye Yan was not in a hurry to prove himself.

Instead, it plants the seeds of doubt in the minds of customers.

Cao Erbao's expression became increasingly ugly, and he immediately winked at Wang Huai'en, signaling him to go to the office.

"Tell me, what's going on? Didn't I tell you not to cut corners?"

Wang Huai'en smiled awkwardly and said, "Boss, I'm not deliberately cutting corners! The smell of these top-grade medicinal herbs is so strong that it's hard to mask it even with spices!"

"As you know, we add a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers to our medicinal food. If we add the medicinal taste of traditional Chinese medicine, we can only deceive customers by making the dishes spicy!"

Cao Erbao's face turned even darker.

"Bullshit! Keep quibbling!"

"I know you have a habit of lining your own pockets! As the old saying goes, if the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested!"

"But I absolutely cannot allow anyone to find fault with the medicinal ingredients! Otherwise, how can we compete with the Imperial Soup?"

Wang Huai'en is indeed a great cook and once won the championship in the Daxia Cooking Competition.

Such a famous chef will receive good treatment no matter which big hotel he works in or whether he works as a private chef for a powerful family.

But Wang Huai'en has the habit of "lining his own pockets".

No matter where I work, I always use the excuse of personally selecting the ingredients to take the purchasing power into my own hands.

What’s more, he does it very covertly, so even if the ingredients are replaced with inferior ones, diners won’t be able to tell.

But this time, he met a tough guy!

As the two were talking, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Boss, someone from the Quality Supervision Bureau is here, and they want to inspect our medicinal food!"
