Peerless Young Master
Chapter 14 Conflicts Begin to Appear
"Mr. Zhao has come out of retirement"
In Qingfeng City, a piece of news that came out of nowhere instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The streets and alleys seemed to be ignited by an invisible force, with crowds of people surging and talking.
"After so many years, I never thought I would see Mr. Zhao come out of seclusion in my lifetime. I thought he would never come out again and would stay in Manchun Garden forever."
"I didn't expect the Lin family to be able to invite Mr. Zhao to take charge. Now the Lin's Restaurant is going to rise and dominate Longque Street."
"I heard that the person who came this time was not Mr. Zhao, but his disciple, Han San. Perhaps the Lin family didn't offer conditions that would impress Mr. Zhao."
As Lin Ruolin spread the news that Mr. Zhao had returned from retirement, the restaurant's business became popular again, with a constant stream of people coming and going.
And most of these were directed at Mr. Zhao.
Speaking of Mr. Zhao, he is one of the best chefs in the culinary world. There are not many people in Qingfeng City who don’t know his name.
Especially the pair of superb craftsmanship. People who tasted it in the early years all praised it highly, saying it was truly a delicacy.
The only place that can compare with it is Zhenxiulou.
However, later on, Mr. Zhao retired from the culinary industry because he was too old and unable to continue his career. He bought Manchun Garden as his retirement home.
At that time, many people felt sorry when they heard the news.
Unexpectedly, after many years, Mr. Zhao came out again.
Countless diners came to Lin's Restaurant, wanting to taste the delicious food that made them miss and intoxicated them again.
Although they did not taste Mr. Zhao's cooking, but were his apprentices, they still praised his authentic skills. In time, he would surely be considered a great chef.
"Master Han is worthy of being Master Zhao's first disciple. This one move has attracted so many customers. With him in charge, the restaurant is finally stable."
Looking at the packed first floor with diners feasting heartily, Uncle Wang was also quite moved.
If you want your restaurant business to be good, you need a reliable chef.
Lin Ruolin also nodded: "Although this time he is using the name of Mr. Zhao, Han San's cooking skills are indeed impeccable. The business of this restaurant will gradually improve."
As expected, he is Mr. Zhao.
Even if he is just an apprentice, his skills can be so amazing.
This made Lin Ruolin even more curious about Mr. Zhao's craftsmanship. If he could do it himself, the restaurant would definitely be able to reach a higher level.
This made her even more determined that no matter what the cost, she would let Mr. Zhao come to the restaurant to be the chef himself.
At this moment, a man with dark skin, a strong body and slight sweat on his forehead walked out, holding a palm teapot in his hand.
This person is Han San.
Seeing that the eldest lady was there, he said with a hint of pride: "Miss, I hope my cooking skills did not disappoint you."
"Master Han's cooking skills are naturally impeccable. The large number of customers is the best answer," Lin Ruolin smiled faintly.
"I'm not exaggerating, but throughout Qingfeng City, there are only a handful of people who can surpass me in cooking skills. With me in charge, Miss, rest assured.
"Who cares about Qingchun Restaurant? It's no match for me. It will close down sooner or later." Han San patted his chest, holding his head high, as if everything was under his control.
Lin Ruolin also smiled slightly: "Then the restaurant will have to trouble Chef Han in the future. I also believe that it won't be long before Chef Han's cooking skills will become even better and he will become a master as great as Mr. Zhao."
"I dare not even think about that. It would be enough if I could have 70% of my mentor's skills," Han San said with a smile on his face.
"Chef Han, why did you stop making roast duck?"
When I went out to do some business, I didn't see the roast duck oven placed at the door when I came back. After asking around, I found out that Han San didn't allow it to be there.
This made Li Xuan frown slightly. This was a good idea he came up with to deal with Qingchun Restaurant.
With hot pot and roast duck as two trump cards, it is hard for the business to fail.
"I'm in charge of the kitchen, why should I say hello to you?"
Han San still felt a little uncomfortable with Li Xuan, mainly because he was scared by the roast duck. He had never eaten such delicious duck before, and he was afraid.
"Chef Han, roast duck is a good way to attract customers, why don't you sell it?" Lin Ruolin was also a little surprised. Obviously, she didn't know about this matter.
"Miss, this roast duck is indeed delicious, but you will get sick of it if you eat too much, which affects your appetite. It is also complicated and troublesome to make. Except for him, none of us know how to use the iron bucket," Han San said with a little dissatisfaction.
"If you don't know how, I can teach you. This is a good way to make money." Li Xuan's face darkened. He glanced around and found that there were not many people eating hot pot.
"Humph"
Han San’s face turned unfriendly, and he clenched the teapot in his hand: “When I was doing this business, you didn’t even know where it was, so I needed you to teach me;
I don't know where he got this thing from, but he really thinks he can beat me."
"Chef Han, don't be angry. Li Xuan didn't mean that. He is also thinking about the restaurant's business." Lin Ruolin stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.
"Miss, you don't know that what he came up with was just for the sake of novelty. Once the hype dies down, it will be useless. I usually look down on these unconventional things.
To be a chef, you need to do odd jobs for three years, wait in the kitchen for three years, work in the kitchen for five years and be the cook for ten years. Only in this way can you become a qualified chef.
Every dish I make is carefully crafted, and I live up to my conscience. I don’t just think about making money and ignore reputation.”
Han San glanced at Li Xuan out of the corner of his eye, his eyes full of hostility and vigilance.
If hot pot and roast duck continue to be sold in the restaurant, who will know about his hard work and craftsmanship?
How can you ensure your position as the best in the restaurant?
Besides, he himself looked down on people like Li Xuan who took shortcuts.
It is a disgrace for a man to become a son-in-law.
The same is true for cooking.
You can't call it delicious if you don't put in twenty efforts.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
"What do you know? The only way is to build up our reputation first. If you take it slow like this, the restaurant would have changed its name long ago." Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his face as cold as frost.
Han San's eyes grew colder, and he stared at Li Xuan with a sharp gaze: "Let me tell you, a true chef, every spoonful of salt and every drop of oil carries with it the respect for the ingredients and the ultimate pursuit of taste.
If those fancy things of yours were really useful, why did the young lady spend so much money to invite me here?"
Li Xuan didn't want to pay attention to this stupid yet stubborn person, and said to Lin Ruolin: "Ruolin, there is still one day until the date we agreed with Tai Shugong.
If we cannot revive the restaurant as quickly as possible, we cannot afford the consequences."
"Having my master here is the greatest fame," Han San said disdainfully.
Lin Ruolin frowned. What both of them said made sense, which made it difficult for her to make a decision.
"Miss, you are the one in charge, just tell me straight, today it's either me or him, or it's either him or me." Han San also became stubborn.
"Master Han, don't be like this. The son-in-law is just a little worried about the restaurant. He is not trying to be mean to you." Uncle Wang didn't expect things to get to this point.
"I'm the chef, so naturally the kitchen staff has to obey me. If you go out and ask around, you'll find that that restaurant isn't like that.
It's just a shabby restaurant, you really take yourself seriously, if the master hadn't said so, I wouldn't want to come" With that, Han San was furious and prepared to leave.
Chef Han
Lin Ruolin's expression changed, and she quickly spoke up to persuade him, "Chef Han, don't bother with business. You are the chef and Master Zhao's apprentice, so your cooking skills are naturally impeccable.
Since you are in charge of cooking, the kitchen will naturally listen to you."
Hearing this, Han San's expression finally relaxed: "That's almost right."
"Ruolin..."
Before Li Xuan could speak, Lin Ruolin continued, "Master Han, it's a busy time now, and you have to be in charge of the kitchen."
"Don't worry, Miss, business will definitely be good with me here."
Han San was extremely sure. Before leaving, he glanced at Li Xuan with a smug smile on his face.
It seems to be saying, you little bastard, you want to fight with me, but don’t you know your own weight?
"Li Xuan, I know you are angry and blame me for not considering you." After Han San left, Lin Ruolin prepared to explain.
"I'm not angry, but we don't have time," Li Xuan sighed.
"It is precisely because we don't have time that we have to tie Mr. Zhao tightly to the restaurant. As long as Mr. Zhao is here, there will be a constant stream of people coming to the restaurant to eat.
By then, the restaurant business will naturally improve.
And I can also use this as an excuse to persuade my great uncle and other branches."
"You still don't believe me," Li Xuan said in a dull tone.
How could he not see that Lin Ruolin just didn't believe he had the ability to revive the restaurant and win the bet with his great uncle.
Of course, he also understood that people of this era had a kind of obsession with craftsmanship, and that was time.
The longer it takes, the better the craftsmanship.
Just as Han San said just now, without having worked as an apprentice for more than ten years, how can he call himself a qualified master?
How to convince others?
"It's not that I don't believe it, but the restaurant needs Mr. Zhao, and the Lin family needs Mr. Zhao." Lin Ruolin was worried that Li Xuan would misunderstand: "Li Xuan, you know the crisis we are facing, and you should understand why I do this."
"That's all, it's just a little more complicated."
The matter has been settled, there is no point in worrying about it.
There is only one day left, and it is difficult to win the agreement.
If the great uncle is really unreasonable, Mr. Zhao's reputation alone will not be enough to control the situation.
Unless the other party actually shows up in person and promises in front of everyone to be the chef in the restaurant, the possibility is very slim.
After all, Great Uncle is not a fool. If he deliberately makes trouble, they will definitely be in big trouble.
Li Xuan's black and white eyes moved a few times, his gaze slightly fixed, as if he had made up his mind.
