Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"what?"

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment and still didn't understand the situation.

Song Dingsheng explained:

"Some veteran chefs think your recipes, such as using oyster sauce and MSG in cooking, shouldn't be used. After all, they've never seen it before. If you do that, it might affect the restaurant's reputation."

"But there are some young chefs who are willing to trust your recipes, so they try them and directly beat those old chefs."

Hearing this, Qin Ming's face was full of black lines.

Is there a debate between new and old when it comes to cooking?

"and then?"

Song Dingsheng shrugged helplessly and said:

"Then the old chefs realized they were wrong and admitted it verbally, but they were still holding a grudge. They argued openly and covertly with the young people all day long."

New dishes like Qin Ming’s incorporate new seasonings and have diverse styles.

In this rather old-fashioned era where one has to be an apprentice for more than ten years to learn cooking, it is naturally a bit unconventional.

This naturally aroused the chefs' suspicion.

Especially these old chefs, they were even more unwilling to accept it and thought it was nonsense.

But the reality was not what they thought. Qin Ming's recipe was not only good, but also sold out quickly.

Now all the old chefs who were proud of their seniority were embarrassed.

"Let's go in and have a look."

It just so happens that today is the first day, so they closed early.

Qin Ming took this opportunity and wanted to go in and persuade them in the usual way.

But as soon as I walked into the kitchen at the back, I saw several older chefs arguing with someone.

"A bunch of little brats, you don't know shit. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice!"

"No matter how much salt I've eaten, I haven't seen you sell more dishes."

"That's right, it's not as good as what we can make with His Highness's recipes."

Several young chefs were also dissatisfied.

Both sides are like powder kegs, ready to explode at any moment.

"Stop arguing, your highness is here."

Song Dingsheng stepped forward and stopped them from arguing.

When several old chefs saw Qin Ming show up, they walked straight up to him as if they had agreed.

The head chef named Wu Sanshao said:

"Your Highness, we are not used to this environment, so we should not stay here any longer."

As they spoke, they also turned their attention to the young people in the distance.

"It's not about adapting to the environment, or are you not used to working with them?"

Qin Ming glanced at the scene and quickly understood what they meant.

This group of chefs who are taking advantage of their seniority are actually threatening me!

This means that only one group of people can stay!

Either they leave, or this group of young people leave.

"It's definitely not comfortable to be with them."

Several chefs with more experience did not hide anything and nodded directly.

"Why is this necessary?"

Song Dingsheng was confused and pulled Wu Sanshao to the corner to talk.

He specially recruited this group of chefs, and each of them is very skilled.

If he left like this, it would definitely be a huge loss for the restaurant.

But this group of people seemed determined to make Qin Ming make a choice.

Wu Sanshao also shook off Song Dingsheng and stood upright in front of Qin Ming with his arms folded across his chest.

They all seemed very confident, thinking that Qin Ming would definitely keep them after comparing their qualifications.

Qin Ming glanced at the young chefs squatting in the distance with their fists clenched, and finally made a decision.

"Okay, go ahead if you want to."

"What!?"

Now it was the turn of the old chefs to be shocked!

Wu Sanshao widened his eyes and questioned Qin Ming:

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to keep them?"

"Didn't Lord Song tell you about our qualifications?"

"How ridiculous! Lingnan Restaurant has no respect for talent at all!"

At the end, they were even a little angry.

Facing the questioning of Wu Sanshao and others, Qin Ming said coldly:

"Everyone, what the restaurant needs are people who can work together, not people who take advantage of their seniority and break the rules!"

"Today, you first objected to the recipe, then took the initiative to stir up trouble, and scolded me all day. Now that I am here, you dare to take advantage of your seniority and force me to drive them away?"

"Do you really think that people with seniority can do whatever they want? Sorry, this won't work with me!"

Everything Qin Ming said was true, making it difficult for Wu Sanshao and the others to refute it.

"Okay, this is settled. You don't have to come here starting tomorrow."

Qin Ming waved his hand and ignored them.

Song Dingsheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

If the person running the restaurant doesn’t even have his subordinates obeying him, then what’s the point of running the restaurant!

What Qin Ming said is actually correct.

"Your Highness, you are right. Since there is no room for us here, we will take our leave!"

Wu Sanshao and the others exchanged glances. They were extremely dissatisfied, but they did not dare to yell at Qin Ming.

I had to leave in shame.

However, judging from the attitude they displayed before leaving, it was obvious that they did not want to let the matter go.

After the few people left, Song Dingsheng called a few young chefs to Qin Ming.

He pulled one of the honest and simple men and introduced him to Qin Ming:

"Your Highness, this is Chef Yi. He went against all odds and made many of your recipes today."

A group of men...

Just by hearing the name Qin Mingguang, you know that he is a good cook.

Walking forward and patting their shoulders, Qin Ming said to them:

"Everyone, don't worry about what happened before. Just do your job well, and I will not treat you unfairly."

"As for these recipes, I'm actually not finished yet. There are still some big dishes. Once you are familiar with them, I will write them for you and use them as our signature dishes!"

"Really? Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone was extremely excited when they heard this.

Signature dishes are the secrets of many restaurants.

Many masters do it behind closed doors and do not allow anyone to watch.

Sometimes, once you have learned something, you can go out and work on your own.

This is why many people may not learn anything even after being apprentices for half their lives.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, just handed it over to them directly.

This naturally made Yi and his colleagues very grateful and full of anticipation.

"Okay, let's all go back and rest. We'll continue tomorrow."

Qin Ming picked up a red envelope and handed it to Yi the cook, asking him to share it with his brothers.

Then we waited for the restaurant to open the next day.

Because they had just started running the restaurant, Qin Ming and Song Dingsheng agreed to come to Lingnan Restaurant as soon as it was light in the morning.

He brought people to fetch the ingredients needed for today from the farmhouse and sent them all to the kitchen.

While sitting here to catch his breath and drink tea, Song Dingsheng suddenly tugged at Qin Ming's clothes.

"Your Highness, something bad seems to have happened. Look who that is."

Qin Ming turned around and found Wu Sanshao, with a sinister look on his face, entering the reception building across the street with a few chefs who had been driven away by Qin Ming yesterday!

This traitorous bastard has found a new owner, who is a competitor of Lingnan Restaurant!
