C503 A celebratory feast of joy and sorrow (1/2)
In fact, there was a price to be paid for any choice made in this world. That would depend on whether the person who made the choice was willing to pay such a price.
In Xue Changkong's opinion, closing down the guests was the most reasonable way to reduce the consumption loss of the Golden Jade Temple. But Ye Qian's angle was completely different from Xue Changkong's. The moment the Golden Jade Mansion closed its doors to thank the guests, it would mean that the other side had succeeded in their underhanded schemes. The Golden Jade Mansion had admitted defeat.
In the future, even if the entire Jin Yu Hall produced new dishes and used a new chef, the result would still be the same. Those people would still think of the same method to poach your chef, because this method had been tried repeatedly.
Therefore, what Ye Qian had to do now was to absolutely not let them succeed. If they succeeded the first time, there would be a second time and there would be endless trouble in the future.
This time, Ye Qian wanted to make sure that these people who were hiding in the dark didn't pry into their hearts. He could only slap their faces and tell them that the method of poaching the chef was useless. If that happened, they wouldn't use the same method anymore.
It was lunch time in the Linhai sky. It was the time for lunch.
The originally quiet Golden Jade Temple suddenly became crowded when Xue Changkong opened the huge and bright signboard. These customers did not know what was happening in the Golden Jade Temple. They only knew that the food was very tasty, but that was enough.
In the kitchen, Ye Qian personally went up to battle and wore the clothes of a chef. The kitchen knife in his hand flew up and down, showing off in front of the young chefs. Ye Qian was not only cooking, he was also establishing his might.
The young chefs who looked down upon Ye Qian had never seen such a thing before. The big boss was not only rich, but his culinary skills were exquisite as well. Right now, other than admiring Ye Qian, they also admired him.
Not long later, five new dishes were placed on the clean kitchen stove.
Ye Qian turned his head and smiled at Li Yuan: ”Did you see it clearly?”
Li Yuan felt helpless as he shook his head and said, ”Sorry, Boss, I, I didn't see it clearly!”
Ye Qian did not blame them, and only laughed: ”It doesn't matter if you don't see clearly, you can see it a hundred times today. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and once in a hundred times. I think even a fool would be able to learn these few dishes! ”
Ye Qian was cooking and teaching in the kitchen.
On the other side, Xue Changkong rushed into the kitchen with a busy face.
”Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye …”
Xue Changkong's face was very anxious, but just as he stepped into the kitchen, an enticing aroma wafted into his nose. The fragrance of these dishes was simply too overwhelming.
Xue Changkong had forgotten about everything else in an instant, and he kept sniffing the air, arriving in front of Ye Qian after he had smelled the scent.
However, Xue Changkong seemed to have already forgotten why he came in, his eyes stared straight at the five new dishes on the kitchen counter.
Seeing these five dishes, Xue Changkong's stomach unconsciously started to revolt. Xue Changkong had been cooking for a long time already, so they did not take it too far to say that he was delicious food.
However, in all these years, Xue Changkong had never seen a dish that was as sparkling and translucent as this one. To be honest, the five dishes that Ye Qian had taken action today were of an even higher grade than the five dishes from before. The alluring fragrance was completely top-notch, especially the lifelike appearance of the dishes.
Looking at Xue Changkong beside him whose mouth was filled with saliva, Ye Qian joked and laughed: ”Manager Xue, you came at quite a good time, I've just finished, how about it? Do you want to try it?!”
Xue Changkong had an embarrassed look on his face. He wanted to reject his, but he truly couldn't resist the allure of such delicious food. Just by smelling it, his saliva was all over the floor. Therefore, Xue Changkong could only look up at Ye Qian secretly: ”Young Master Ye, is this possible?”
”Of course you can. The dishes are made for people to eat, aren't they?”
Hearing Ye Qian's words, Xue Changkong did not put on airs anymore, and directly picked up the chopsticks by his side, wolfing down the food. As he ate, Xue Changkong yelled out, ”Delicious, delicious, too delicious!” As he spoke, Xue Changkong's tears flowed down.
Ye Qian watched from the side with a smile that was not a smile. In fact, Xue Changkong was not the first one to reveal such an expression. Ye Qian vaguely remembered that when he tried these few dishes, the first one to reveal such an expression was that old man. However, this had happened a long, long time ago.
Seeing Xue Changkong eating all by himself with his mouth full of dripping oil, the seven to eight young chefs gulped as well, their faces filled with envy.
Ye Qian shook the big pot with one hand and laughed: ”Oh, Li Yuan, the few of you don't have to stand around. Just by looking at it, one wouldn't be able to tell what the result would be. The chef's sense of taste was also very important. ”Even if you haven't eaten any before, you still wouldn't be able to make such a taste no matter how delicious the food is.”
Li Yuan and the other cooks were different from Xue Changkong. They did not bother with Ye Qian at all, and went up to him as if he was a normal tiger.
”Don't rob, don't rob!”
”I'll go, save some for me, save some for me!”
