Chapter 156 - Chapter 156 - 156 Fish Fillet (2/2)
Moreover, the house Chen Yu now lives in was the one he had flipped and sold.
Even though he hadn’t lived there for a long time, it was still his home.
“Okay, I’ll definitely visit when I’m free!”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Yu drove straight back to Shuiyue No.1.
The next morning at six o’clock, when Chen Yu arrived at the shop, it was as crowded as usual, packed with people.
However, there were noticeably more people today than before.
When they saw Chen Yu, they rushed up to him as if they had seen a superstar.
“Mr. Chen, yesterday at Tianfu Small Street, you prepared a long-lost secret dish. Are you an expert in this area?”
“According to Chef Jin, that is a family heirloom recipe of theirs, even he doesn’t know the essence of it, but you managed to make it. Could that mean you are suspected of stealing someone else’s family recipe?”
…
Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown, these people’s questions had the professionalism of reporters, but what they held in their hands were equipment belonging to various self-media.
One look and he knew these were unscrupulous self-media looking for traffic.
Chen Yu didn’t want to say much to them, he simply went straight into the shop.
Chu Hong saw Chen Yu come in and hurriedly greeted him.
“Brother Yu, these people came early in the morning, very annoying. Some have even accused us of stealing others’ recipes. The three chefs are also quite upset.”
Chen Yu turned his head to look at the kitchen and noticed Wang Qingshan, Ning Kai, and Li Gang fuming as they tossed pots and pans around.
“It’s fine, let them talk. The reputation of our shop stands firm, it’s not something they can ruin with a few words.”
Chu Hong nodded, looked angrily at the door for a moment, and then went to attend to the customers.
Without saying much more, Chen Yu rolled up his sleeves and went straight to the kitchen.
“Chefs, do we have plenty of fish in today’s delivered ingredients?”
Wang Qingshan glanced at the water tank beside him: “It’s okay, what’s up? Are we featuring fish today?”
Chen Yu nodded: “Something like that. It’s just a plain old fish fillet! I’ll need the three of you to go out and buy some more fish; we might not have enough.”
With that, Chen Yu began to seamlessly wield his knife like flowing water.
It wasn’t long before a large number of golden, crispy fish fillets were served out.
The aroma that spread in that moment attracted the customers in the shop to gather around.
“It smells so good, what is this?”
Chen Yu chuckled: “This is the legendary ‘Five Dragons Leaping to the Golden Palace’, but to me, it’s just an ordinary fish fillet, five yuan a piece. If you like it, line up here!”
With those words, the entire shop suddenly buzzed with excitement, and a long line formed before long.
Actually, Chen Yu had noticed when he arrived that those so-called self-media might have been invited by the people from Tianfu Small Street.
Yesterday, he had only conquered Chef Jin and the diners of the day, not the capital behind the scene.
The incident yesterday could help them create a wave of traffic for Tianfu Small Street, but it would also plummet their reputation.
From then on, the dish ‘Five Dragons Leaping to the Golden Palace’ would probably have to be removed from their signboard.
In order to minimize losses, they invited a multitude of self-media to maliciously smear Chen Yu.
Since they had struck first, Chen Yu had no intention of being polite and directly introduced the so-called fish fillet to his shop!
