Chapter 326: They Are All Meatballs, Why Hurt Each Other Over Them?

“Wait. What did you mean just now, Mr. Li?” Liu Ruoyu was a little surprised.

“It’s what it literally means. You just go and prepare,” Li Li said earnestly.

“But didn’t you tell Manager Niu just now that you would serve the Red Wine Flame Steak in the evening?” Liu Ruoyu asked meticulously.

She didn’t want Li Li to compete against Yuan Zhou face to face. Niu Li had told her once that they came to open the restaurant because of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, therefore it was the best option to take evasive actions.

“What? You don’t agree?” Li Li knitted his brows and turned to look at Liu Ruoyu.

“Executive Chef Li, I don’t mean that. It’s just that Manager Liu will come again in the evening.” Liu Ruoyu said cautiously.

“I know what I should do. You just need to go and prepare.” Li Li stood up and left Liu Ruoyu there alone.

No matter what, he had shares in the restaurant and could be considered as one of the bosses. Therefore, he need not follow anyone’s orders though he might follow some advice.

Seeing Li Li say so, Liu Ruoyu naturally didn’t dare to disobey him. She answered with a nod and meanwhile asked with an inquiring tone, “Do we need to tell Manager Niu about that?”

“It’s up to you. I’m going to prepare now.” Li Li didn’t really care about that. It was his freedom to do what he wanted to.

“Alright. Mr. Li, I’m going to arrange the kitchen range for this evening first and then tell Manager Niu about your decision.” Liu Ruoyu said matter-of-factly.

“Um.” Li Li nodded the head. After he tidied up his apron, he walked toward the kitchen.

Only until he walked away did Liu Ruoyu let out a sigh of relief and then mutter with a low voice, “What will Sister Niu think of that?”

However, that was not what she needed to worry about. The most important thing for now was to prepare the kitchen range.

That’s right. Li Li decided to make the Swedish Meatball on site this time to increase some fun and visual enjoyment.

“Head chef, what dish will you prepare in the evening?” The plump and happy main chef walked to him and asked eagerly.

“Swedish Meatballs. Go to prepare some beef shank, the kind without tendons, and a piece of pork shoulder for me,” Li Li said naturally.

“Ok. Good job, head chef. How can we lose to a tiny restaurant?” The plump chief chef balled his fist and then said earnestly.

“Of course. Go and prepare now.” Li Li likewise nodded the head confidently.

For this war that as devoid of any smokescreens, Li Li never believed that he would lose. He had his own pride and hence selected the same dish to accept the battle.

In his opinion, Yuan Zhou choosing to serve the new dish today was a declaration of war against him.

Out of the self-respect and pride, he would accept the battle and would further chose the same dish to fight back. This was the pride of Li Li.

After lunch time ended, Yuan Zhou walked to the entrance and looked toward the new restaurant. When he saw there weren’t many people outside the western restaurant, he returned to his restaurant with an aloof manner.

Having closed the door, Yuan Zhou grinned, “There’s definitely no way out for this guy.”

After all, the current imposing manner of the western restaurant had greatly diminished compared the one on the opening ceremony.

Yuan Zhou was very clear about his actual strength while the other party seemed to be not. They surprisingly opened the restaurant on the same day when he served this new dish. The consequences of not understanding his abilities was that they would be severely defeated.

Then, Yuan Zhou went back to the second floor to wash up and get some rest. Practicing in the past few days had consumed much of Yuan Zhou’s vigor.

Time passed quickly. The night fell quickly. Yuan Zhou’s business time was fixed while Li Li’s wasn’t.

Therefore, the business time of the western restaurant commenced earlier. Hence, there were still many people that went inside and have a look curiously.
