At that moment, Han Cai was stunned, unable to react. Before, whatever guests wanted, the restaurant would serve. But now, someone suddenly wanted to order rice with toppings, and she felt a bit at a loss.
Moreover, when Chen Yu had participated in the culinary competition, he was indeed known for his Sichuan cuisine. If the restaurant didn’t offer rice with toppings, it would be rather awkward.
“Of course, we have it! What would you like to have?” Chen Yu hurried out of the kitchen.
The restaurant was only operating at about half its capacity, with a small part of the kitchen always idle.
Even though they had set up an area specifically for delivery riders, the two-story dining hall was often empty.
Therefore, Chen Yu had to think about expanding the business within the restaurant.
Rice with toppings might be a good option.
Furthermore, this tour group didn’t seem to take much interest in the braised dishes, even though the fragrance had filled the entire restaurant; they remained indifferent.
“I’ll have a Kung Pao chicken over rice!”
“Can you make a ‘Three Earthly Bounties’ over rice?”
“Is Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish possible?”
“How about sea cucumber sautéed with scallions?”
…
The members of this tour group appeared to be from different places, each speaking with a distinct accent, continuously calling out dish names.
Normally, when traveling, people look to try the local specialties, yet these people were ordering dishes from their own home regions. find more stories on mv|lempyr
Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is a Huaiyang cuisine dish, while ‘Three Earthly Bounties’ and sea cucumber sautéed with scallions are representative of Shandong cuisine.
Besides these, the group also ordered several Sichuan and Hunan dishes.
Such a complex assortment severely tested the skills of a chef.
After all, only a top-level chef could manage to switch between the major cuisines.
Even Li Gang and Ning Kai were somewhat troubled.
But Chen Yu didn’t say much; after taking note of the dishes requested, he went back to the kitchen.
He quickly wrote out a list and sent Tong Ya off to the market.
Then he fired up the wok and started cooking with the ingredients set aside for the staff meals.
It took less than ten minutes for Tong Ya to return to the restaurant.
Han Cai and Liu Tong quickly went out to help bring the ingredients back to the kitchen.
This time, Chen Yu showed off his cooking skills in front of Ning Kai and Li Gang once again.
Six stoves and six big pots were in action at once, with cooking techniques changing constantly between them.
Before long, more than a dozen dishes were served on the tour group’s table.
“I didn’t expect this restaurant’s chef to actually be able to cook authentic dishes from our hometowns.”
“Too impressive, worthy of being a master who has challenged an international culinary god.”
…
From their words, one could tell that they seemed to have come here to test Chen Yu specifically.
Afterward, they were completely conquered by Chen Yu’s dishes.

Imperial Capital, Qingquan Mountain Film and TV Base.
Fang Yuan’s face was gloomy as she took the call.
“Yuan Sister, my brothers were caught trying to help you, and now he has taken all the blame upon himself. You’ve got to spend some money, break some cash to get him out, right?”
Grinding her teeth, Fang Yuan didn’t know what to say.
If the two on the other end of the phone turned against her and ratted her out, that would undoubtedly become a blemish in her acting career.
“Speak up! How much money do you want?”
