Chapter 202: Luxurious Lineup

Huang Shengli and Zheng Da, who were originally sitting in the opposite private room eating gossip, were just dragged in for an interview.

Qin Huai wasn't idle either. He originally wanted to go to the kitchen to see if there was any staff meal to eat, but before eating the staff meal, he had to send a message to Chen Gong to apologize to Chen Gong.

With the plot developing to this point, who still remembered that Qin Huai's original plan today was to let Chen Gong taste the dishes?

Qin Huai hadn't even seen Chen Gong today.

Qin Huai began to edit the message.

Qin Huai: Assistant Chen, I'm really sorry, there were too many unexpected situations today. Originally, I should have talked to you about the dim sum you ate after you finished eating, but as a result, I didn't even see your face. Were you satisfied with the meal at noon today? Are there any dim sums you like? When are you going to Hangzhou, do you still have time to come over for a meal tomorrow noon?

Chen Gong didn't reply to the message.

But the door of private room 777 next door opened.

Chen Gong walked out of private room 777 in a formal suit and said with a smile: "Master Qin, I know you are busy and have been staying in the private room without leaving. Just now I heard you talking outside, thinking you had important business, so I didn't come out to disturb you. If you have time now, we can talk now."

Qin Huai was stunned.

Qin Huai wanted to scratch his head a bit, but still restrained himself. He followed Chen Gong into the private room and found that Ouyang was also in the private room.

Ouyang was even sitting at the dining table with a bowl of Chen Pi tea in front of him.

Not brother, you didn't eat from noon until now, did you?

Ouyang gave Qin Huai a look that said, don't worry, I've already blown everything I should blow for you.

Qin Huai:?

Qin Huai sat down carefully, Chen Gong switched to work mode, and his smile became business-like.

"Master Qin, your situation and the price of the catering have already been told to me by your friend just now."

Qin Huai:... What price of catering?

Has he ever done catering?

If coming to Huang Ji counts as catering, it wouldn't be Ouyang's turn to tell Chen Gong the price; the menu is clearly marked.

"You previously customized a batch of high-end dough Guo'er for Chen Yingjun's property company, and the unit price was 288 each." Chen Gong said.

"This is a local acquaintance price. Our Han Zong wants to invite you to A City, outside the province, the price will definitely go up, I understand this market."

"And just now I also overheard a few words of gossip from the waiter at the door. It's Mr. Xu Cheng who came, right?"

"Do you know Xu Cheng?" Qin Huai was a bit surprised.

He only knew who Xu Cheng was a while ago. Chen Gong is just an assistant to the president of a listed company, and also a life assistant. In theory, he wouldn't pay attention to a food critic.

Could it be that Chen Gong is Xu Cheng's fan?

Does his paranoid core hide a love for food?

"Of course, Boss Xu is a friend of our Han Zong." Chen Gong nodded, "Our Han Zong knew about you from Boss Xu. To be honest, before finding you, our Han Zong also contacted the heads of several well-known restaurants, asking if their head chefs could do catering."

"Our Han Zong is in A City, so the birthday banquet must also be held in A City. There are no too well-known restaurants in A City, so we can only invite masters from other places to come over for catering."

"Only the Eight-Treasure House in Beiping accepted the invitation, and other restaurants declined."

"Actually, we also contacted Huang Ji, but Master Huang Shengli's waist doesn't seem to be very good."

"Master Pei Shenghua from Chengfang Ju has this intention, but he has to go abroad for exchange in mid-March and can't spare the time, so he recommended his good friend Zang Mu to us. Master Zang said there is no problem and is willing to cooperate with Master Tong Deyan from the Eight-Treasure House."

"The only problem is that these two masters are pure savory dish masters and are not proficient in pastry dishes. Master Zang suggested that our Han Zong come back to find a pastry chef who is proficient in pastry dishes to be responsible for the dim sum at the birthday banquet. After all, the dim sum at the birthday banquet can be said to be more important than the dim sum at the wedding banquet in a sense."

"Our Han Zong and Boss Xu are friends. He originally wanted to ask Boss Xu which pastry dim sum chefs in the country are willing to do this kind of catering, and heard Mr. Xu mention that you are a very excellent pastry dim sum chef who wants to go to Shancheng to taste your skills."

"That's why I came to look for you."

"I have already tasted your skills at noon today, there is no problem at all, and being responsible for the birthday banquet is definitely more than enough. You are also the one who agreed most readily among all the chefs I contacted!"

"Master Qin, don't worry, in terms of price, our Han Zong is absolutely sincere and will definitely give you 20% higher than the highest market price!"

"Won't let you suffer!"

Qin Huai has already expressed that he felt the sincerity of Han Zong Guishan, whom he had never met before. It was too sufficient, too sufficient.

He could also guess that Chen Gong saying such a long string of words to him was to show Han Zong's importance to the birthday banquet and hint that he should go all out.

Mentioning the names of the few people above was to show the luxurious lineup of the birthday banquet chef.

But Qin Huai wanted to ask, besides Pei Shenghua, who are the people mentioned just now?

He knew Pei Shenghua, Pei Xing's distant cousin, a high-ranking chef in the Famous Chef Record.

But this one wasn't invited.

Who are Tong Deyan and Zang Mu who were invited?

Qin Huai felt that he had to flip through the Famous Chef Record again when he went back. There were quite a few Chinese chefs ranked after 30th in the Famous Chef Record, especially those between 30th and 60th. Last time, he focused on who the top few were, glanced at the middle, and stared at Huang Shengli and Huang Jia's rankings. He was also a bit puzzled why there was no Zheng Da, asked who the master of Does Zhi Wei Ju was, and really didn't pay much attention to others.

Must study carefully who Tong Deyan and Zang Mu are when going back.

These two are colleagues at the birthday banquet in March, related to whether Chen Gong's branch mission can be completed, and whether his boss Han Guishan can shine at the birthday banquet.

Chen Gong was so sincere, Qin Huai felt that he had to improve his sincerity too.

"Assistant Chen, can you still eat?" Qin Huai asked.

Chen Gong:?

"Actually, there is one more dim sum you didn't eat at noon."

20 seconds later, Qin Huai called Dong Shi, asking Dong Shi to pick two of the remaining Guo'er in the back kitchen and steam them, and let the waiter send them to private room 777.

Dong Shi didn't react to who was in private room 777 at the first moment, still thinking it was the interview private room, and blurted out whether Xu Cheng would be full and go to the hospital to wash his stomach.

It seemed that Qin Huai wasn't the only one who saw that Xu Cheng was full today.

Five minutes later, the Guo'er was sent up.

Chen Gong only took one bite and hurriedly went outside the door to make a phone call. Qin Huai listened quietly for two sentences. Chen Gong was probably calling Han Zong Guishan to report the situation, using very impassioned words, saying that Han Zong must come over to taste the dim sum in person when he has time, it is very delicious, not a wasted trip, and Han Zong will definitely like it.

Well, a loyal and good assistant.

Ouyang was hiccuping while eating Guo'er on the side. Qin Huai glanced at his unpromising appearance and patted his hand to signal him to stop eating.

Otherwise, it won't be Xu Cheng going to the hospital to wash his stomach, but you, Ouyang, going to the hospital to wash your stomach.

"How did you think of coming to Suzhou to play? When are you going back? Isn't the neighborhood committee busy recently?" Busy for a whole noon, Qin Huai finally had time to ask the three questions he most wanted to ask Ouyang.

Ouyang stubbornly took the last bite of Guo'er, packed the rest into a packing box and squeezed it together with the apple dough Guo'er, and said: "I resigned."

Qin Huai: "Do your parents know? Are you sure your parents won't beat you to death when you go back this time?"

"My parents agreed. When they let me work at Hongjie's, they were afraid that I would spend money and become a prodigal son. Am I that kind of person? After a few years of reform... tempering, my parents have already seen my golden and sincere heart, and feel that I don't need to go deep into the grassroots anymore, and can start a business again to regain everything I lost!" Ouyang said impassionedly.

"Keep your voice down, they are interviewing next door."

"Oh." Ouyang continued to drink Chen Pi tea to fill the gaps.

"You want to start a business again?" Qin Huai grabbed the point at once, "How are you going to start a business this time? You wouldn't want to continue in the catering industry, would you?"

If Ouyang nodded and said yes, Qin Huai felt that he should persuade him.

As a professional breakfast seller, Qin Huai felt that Ouyang was not suitable for catering at all.

Admittedly, for a standard internet-famous shop like a fish hot pot shop, if you don't do marketing, it must be a dead end. But dying like Ouyang, losing 6.6 million directly, can't all be blamed on the fish hot pot shop.

Ouyang's taste is too strange.

He has the most basic aesthetics of human beings, but he also has his own unique taste. He can appreciate A-grade Guo'er, and he can squat in the duck pen to drink duck soup. He loves fermented rice steamed buns, and he loves elm bark steamed buns even more.

Doing the catering industry with such a strange taste, it is really hard not to lose money.

Qin Huai felt that the probability of Did Luo Luo opening a restaurant and making money was higher than Ouyang's. At most, Did Luo Luo's taste was normal, and she just loved eating meat, so she could just sell meat dishes.

"Of course! Where you fall, you must stand up from where you fall. What I lost in the catering industry, I must earn back from the catering industry!"

"I think you should still be cautious..."

"My dad has already bought the shop for me, right next to the convenience store opposite the Yunzhong Academy!"

"Consider... next to the convenience store? I remember that shop is very small, can't dine in, right?"

"Who said I want to dine in? I'm opening a herbal tea shop, mainly selling hand-beaten lemon tea!"

Qin Huai:...

Herbal tea, I'm sorry, I will never sell hand-beaten lemon tea and other herbal teas together again.

Qin Huai forcibly swallowed the complaints in his heart, unexpectedly feeling that this entrepreneurial path was not bad. After all, Ouyang's hand-beaten lemon tea skills were obvious to all.

The lemon tea he beat was better than what Qin Luo beat.

Strong strength.

And the milk tea shop is a small business. Buying a shop in the location near the Yunzhong Academy is a steady and profitable thing in itself. This time Ouyang starting a business again might really not lose money.

"When do you plan to open your herbal... hand-beaten lemon tea shop?"

"The first day of the Lunar New Year!"

Qin Huai:... Selling hand-beaten lemon tea, which has the best sales in summer, in the middle of winter, you will lose money to death!

After Chen Gong finished reporting the situation to his boss, he returned to the private room and told Qin Huai that his boss Han Guishan expected to eat dim sum in half a month.

The specific salary might have to wait until their boss tastes it in person before it can be decided. 50% of the deposit will be paid on the day the contract is signed, and the remaining 50% will be paid after the birthday banquet is completed.

Qin Huai felt there was no problem at all.

Seeing that Qin Huai and Ouyang obviously still had things to talk about alone, Chen Gong didn't stay in the private room to continue disturbing them, saying that he still had work to deal with and left first, carrying the packing box.

Qin Huai continued to ask Ouyang why he came to Suzhou this time.

Ouyang's answer was also very sincere and straightforward. He cheated a sum of money from his parents, and under the pretext of inspecting the hand-beaten lemon tea shop in Suzhou, he prepared to eat, drink, and play here until the end of the year.

As for specifically eating, drinking, and playing what, Ouyang currently plans to eat at Huang Ji for more than half a month, and then ask his parents for money.

Huang Ji's dish prices are really too expensive.

Qin Huai saw that Ouyang had the intention of eating into a Huang Ji VIP in a month, thinking that the house he rented now was a two-bedroom apartment, and Qin Luo still had to wait until January 19th to have a holiday, so he simply suggested letting Ouyang live with him first.

Live first, and at the same time find a short-term rental house nearby, and move out before Qin Luo comes.

Ouyang immediately expressed that good brother, how did you know I had this intention.

Then he returned to the hotel to pack his luggage without looking back, not even asking where Qin Huai lived specifically.

Qin Huai: 6

Qin Huai waited in the private room until the interview on Xu Cheng's side ended.

Hearing that Huang Ji had a wedding banquet in the evening and Huang Shengli was going to cook the Three-Head Banquet in person, Xu Cheng was originally very tempted to stay and eat a meal.

Unfortunately, he ate too much at noon and afternoon tea.

Really couldn't eat anymore.

Eating the Three-Head Banquet again in the evening was not about not listening to the doctor's advice, but about going to the hospital to see a doctor.

Xu Cheng could only regretfully decline.

Huang Shengli saw Xu Cheng's regret and immediately expressed that his waist had healed, and he would return to take charge of the Huang Ji back kitchen in a few days. If Xu Cheng was interested in staying in Suzhou for a few more days, he would make a separate table of Three-Head Banquet for Xu Cheng in two days.

There were also some not-bad restaurants in Suzhou.

Of course, Huang Shengli still suggested that Xu Cheng come to Huang Ji more these days. There were a huge number of dim sums that Qin Huai could make but wasn't proficient in. If Xu Cheng was interested in seeing them, Qin Huai could also show them to Xu Cheng well these days.

Xu Cheng didn't take Huang Shengli's recommendation to heart. In his view, the number of dim sums Qin Huai showed today was already enough.

Qin Huai was only in his 20s, and was born in a welfare home. Even if he started learning dim sum from his mother's womb, it was already very amazing to be able to practice and master these dim sums in 20 years.

However, Xu Cheng also saw Huang Shengli's love for talent, knowing that Huang Shengli wanted him to taste more dim sums made by Qin Huai, so that he could write more in the food review and make Qin Huai famous.

Xu Cheng nodded and agreed, saying that he would stay in Suzhou for a few more days to taste Qin Huai's dim sum.

Even if the dim sum was really very average, he would try his best to encourage it. After all, talent was hard to come by.

In this way, Huang Ji's chaotic, rich, and wonderful day ended with Qin Huai still not eating the staff meal, taking Ouyang, who had finished packing and brought his suitcase back, to his home to put his luggage, and then leading him to the bone-setting shop for bone-setting and eating fruit by the way.

By the way, Qin Huai also didn't eat the staff meal in the evening.

For the wedding banquet in the evening, the back kitchen was already busy when Huang Shengli and Zheng Da were being interviewed, and Huang Jia directly ordered boxed lunch takeout.

Because the quantity was very large, the delivery time of the takeout was also very late. When the takeout arrived, Qin Huai was already eating fruit in the bone-setting shop.

So in the evening, Qin Huai ordered takeout at home with Ouyang, and Ouyang paid.

Eating spicy hot pot.

Just when the two were sitting at the dining table, playing with their mobile phones while eating spicy hot pot, Ouyang suddenly stared at the mobile phone and asked without beginning or end: "Is "Zhi Wei" very famous?"

"Did Assistant Chen tell you?" Qin Huai asked.

Ouyang stuffed a mouthful of kelp shreds, nodded: "Probably told me a little bit. I just searched online again, the restaurants recommended by "Zhi Wei" are super expensive, especially those abroad. Huang Ji's dish prices are actually affordable compared to them."

"Did you not calculate the exchange rate? Restaurants abroad are all expensive." Qin Huai buried his head in eating spicy hot pot.

"Oh oh, almost forgot."

"It's really poor life that changed me. When I graduated from university, I didn't think these things were expensive at all. Now as long as I see this level of unit price, my first reaction is that the merchant is crazy about money." Ouyang shed the tears of bankruptcy.

"When will the "Zhi Wei" that interviewed you come out? I'll go buy a few copies then."

"Early to mid-January." Qin Huai said.

Ouyang didn't speak again.

Qin Huai looked up, found Ouyang was in deep thought, and asked: "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that since Zhi Wei is so famous, will anyone buy it among the owners of our Yunzhong community and the office workers in the nearby office buildings."

"If they bought it, wouldn't they know that you are now at Huang Ji, and the dim sum has become more delicious?"

"Are Grandpa Xu and the others so idle, will they also come over to eat?"

Qin Huai:...

At this moment, there were only two words in Qin Huai's heart.

Finished.
