Food Circle Plug-in Emperor

On the day Liu Yongping arrived at the store, it happened to be Saturday, and the business of Maxima was busy, and the staff in the front hall and back kitchen were busy and orderly.

The back kitchen sifted around, and finally decided to send Zhang Jiaxin to take Zhu Wan to the hotel to meet Liu Yongping.

Dong Juntian originally planned to go there in person, but he was caught in a temporary accident in the store, so he could only be one step behind and asked Zhang Jiaxin and others to pick up the person first, and then he arrived later.

Although Zhang Jiaxin's cooking skills are mediocre, he has an extremely kind personality and gives people a very good impression.

He picked up Liu Yongping, his mentor and apprentice, and drove directly from the hotel to the Maxima Hotel.

Along the way, Zhang Jiaxin couldn't help expressing his admiration for Liu Yongping.

He originally gave people the impression that he was very honest and straightforward, and the credibility of what he said was naturally a few notches higher.

When Liu Yongping met enthusiastic fans, his attitude was gentle and he didn't put on airs at all. Instead, he chatted with Zhang Jiaxin about cooking knowledge.

Although the age gap between the two is very large, and the gap in identity is not small, but because of the speculative chat, they are very harmonious.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the restaurant, Liu Yongping suddenly asked, "By the way, Xiao Zhang, has Fu Yu and Fu Fu arrived at the restaurant today?"

As soon as Zhang Jiaxin heard Liu Yongping asked about Fu Yu, he hurriedly said truthfully: "Liu Chef, Fu Fu is at work today. In fact, when he heard that you were coming, he also wanted to greet you in person, but the business in the store is too busy during this time." , and he has to be in charge of the baking area, so I really can't do without it!"

Liu Yongping nodded, not displeased by it.

On the contrary, he appreciates those who are responsible for their work.

Halfway through the drive, I received a call from Dong Juntian. He and Yao Shi were already waiting at the entrance of the hotel.

It was a big event for Liu Yongping to come to the store, after all, with his identity, he still had a relatively large influence.

After getting out of the car, I saw the grand Rainbow Gate, and Dong Juntian standing at the gate with an earnest smile on his face.

Liu Yongping's brows were stretched, and the corners of his mouth were raised.

Dong Juntian looked very much like his father, standing in front of the hotel like this, seemed to completely overlap with the image of an old friend in memory.

Liu Yongping's heart warmed, and the smile on his face deepened a bit.

Dong Juntian strode forward and greeted warmly: "Uncle Liu, you have worked hard all the way, I have already prepared the box, shall we go in now?"

When Liu Yongping heard this, he quickly smiled and said, "No hurry, we ate at the hotel. I heard that the restaurant has been expanded? Just come over and have a look around."

The main purpose of Liu Yongping's visit this time is to take a look at the restaurant left by his old friend, and to see how Dong Juntian is doing now.

I was very pleased to hear that Dong Juntian bought the Daewoo Shopping Center next to Chollima years ago and rebuilt the hotel to a larger scale.

Back then, Liu Yongping and Mr. Dong both started their businesses by setting up stalls by the river.

They also started as a seafood stir-fry. Later, one specialized in river fish banquets, while the other developed into seafood banquets.

In the past few decades, they have created a lot of family business.

However, in comparison, Liu Yongping must have developed better. Let alone the branches that have spread almost all over the country, his own fame and prestige alone have already become a myth in the industry.

Liu Yongping is willing to take a look at the store, Dong Juntian is naturally looking forward to it, if he can get a few words of advice from him in terms of decoration or restaurant management and operation, it will benefit a lot.

Dong Juntian responded positively: "That's great, Uncle Liu, let me show you around the restaurant!"

Liu Yongping nodded, looking forward to it in his heart: "Okay, let's go, I just happened to see how the store has changed over the years."

A group of people walked and chatted.

Liu Yongping has a very close relationship with Mr. Dong. In the past, when his old friend was still alive, whenever he came to Bei'an, he would definitely go to Qianlima for a meal and a good get-together.

Because he knew in advance that the Maxima store had been expanded and refurbished, after entering the store, Liu Yongping looked at the interior decoration that was almost the same as what he remembered, and couldn't help being a little stunned: "Is this still the same?"

This sentence immediately made everyone blush!

Dong Juntian smiled awkwardly, while Yao Shi sighed silently in his heart.

After all, it's still a joke!

Dong Juntian hurriedly explained: "The Daewoo shopping mall next to it was sold last fall. The decoration of that half has been completed and it is now in normal operation, but the construction of this half can only wait until the weather is warmer."

"This is how I think about it. Now that we are catching up with Kaijiang, the store's business is picking up. It's best to wait until April, when the off-season begins. The construction will not have much impact on the store's business."

One sentence made Yao Shi raise his eyebrows slightly.

Dong Juntian is usually quite smooth, but today he obviously performed exceptionally well.

The reason why this half of the store has not started construction is not at all considering whether the business is good or bad, but because it is arguing with the previous construction party and wants to lower the price.

Moreover, the business in the store has obviously declined after the next year. Dong Juntian also feels sorry for the large sum of money for the decoration, thinking that he can delay it for a while, and if something happens to the store, he will have the turnover funds.

After all, even if the family is big and the business is big, buying a shopping mall with all the money suddenly, from the purchase to the investment in decoration, it is a huge expense.

Although it is not impossible to afford the money, Dong Juntian is really uneasy when he sees that most of the deposit is gone. The stinginess in his bones comes out, and he wants to delay until the second half of the year to get back some of the capital first. Besides.

However, how could it be possible to publicize such inner thoughts.

What Dong Juntian said was very beautiful, at least Liu Yongping obviously agreed with it after hearing it.

Liu Yongping said with a smile: "It's right to think about it. The decoration should indeed be arranged in the off-season, and when the weather gets warmer, the doors and windows can be opened for ventilation."

Others think so!

Only Yao Shi's expression was calm, but when his eyes swept over Liu Yongping, he became obviously agitated again.

This is Chef Liu!

Even his master was full of praise back then.

It was thanks to Dong Juntian that he was able to meet the real person this time. Thinking about it this way, the unhappiness in his heart was completely relieved.

Yao Shi is a businessman. When he saw Liu Yongping in business, he was thinking about how to win Liu Yongping's favor. He found an opportunity to communicate with him about the Kaijiang Banquet's cooking skills and dish matching settings.

Bei'an is close to the river, and every year Kaijiang is a hot month for seafood.

Keeping to such a favorable time and place, doesn't that mean watching a large sum of money jump from one's own face into other people's pockets!

The others didn't have so much thought. They all stared at Liu Yongping after hearing about it.

At this time, everyone in the back kitchen also heard that Liu Yongping had come to the store, and hurriedly put down what they were doing, and Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu went to the front hall in person.

Before Zhao Meng left, he deliberately called Fu Yu along.

Gu Yunwu looked around at the people under him, and there was no one who could take him with him.

After all, Fu Yu was the chef in charge, while the rest on his side were just handy workers.

But anyway, the representative who picked him up was Zhang Jiaxin from his side, and he barely managed to win the game.

Liu Yongping took a stroll around the front hall. There was not much change in the old store, except that the original ordering area and front desk were removed.

The decoration of the newly expanded half is very elegant. In fact, when the two sides cross, it is inevitable that there will be a sudden sense of disharmony. However, it is easy to ignore that the decoration is not completed.

When the group turned to the front desk, Yao Shi caught sight of Zhao Meng and the others rushing over from the back kitchen, so he called out, "Chef Liu, these are the chefs from our back kitchen."

Liu Yongping followed Yao Shi's gestures and recognized Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu who were walking in front.

The Iron Triangle lineup of Maxima's back kitchen was something that Mr. Dong often talked about when he was still there.

Yao Shi's ability and culinary skills are obvious to all, and Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu did not give in too much.

Usually listened to a lot, Liu Yongping was very impressed with these three people.

Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu hurried forward and greeted Liu Yongping warmly.

After Liu Yongping shook hands with them one by one, his eyes fell on Fu Yu who followed him.

After seeing Fu Yu himself, even Liu Yongping had already seen him in the video, but at this moment he still had a feeling of light in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yu himself was younger and more handsome than he looked in the video, and he was very tall. Standing there in a neat chef uniform, it was impossible to ignore.

Liu Yongping took a step forward, passed Zhao Meng who was standing in front, stretched out his hand to Fu Yu, and greeted Fu Yu, "How are you, Chef Fu!"

Fu Yu was immediately flattered that Liu Yongping would know him?

But after being surprised, he hurriedly said humbly: "Chef Liu, you're welcome, just call me Xiaofu."

Liu Yongping shook his head. Facing Fu Yu, he couldn't call out "Little Fu". After all, his culinary skills are on display there. Liu Yongping also intends to exchange ideas with him when he comes here, so it's natural in his heart Treat Fu Yu as a person of the same level.

Regardless of how surprised Dong Juntian, Yao Shi and others were when they saw the scene before them.

Anyway, Liu Yongping finally saw Fu Yu, and immediately pulled him enthusiastically.

When he was brought into the private room, Liu Yongping even invited Fu Yu to sit with him, and even ignored the others, and chatted with Fu Yu about cooking operations.

Liu Yongping really pretended to be talking, and wanted to find someone to communicate with.

Fu Yu's level has improved now, and when discussing cooking issues with Liu Yongping, he can also talk freely and express his insights!

While exchanging ideas, the two kept giving each other points in their hearts, and the chat was very speculative!

Dong Juntian, Yao Shi and others who were sitting at the same table did not understand until now that Liu Yongping happened to come to Qianlima to visit his old friend because he watched Fu Yu's previous work in the cooking video contest held by the Provincial Food Association. Son, so I also met Fu Yu by the way, and chatted with him about cooking.

Right now, Liu Yongping and Fu Yu were chatting happily, the others could only stare wide-eyed, suppressing the surprise in their hearts, they turned their heads and arranged for the dishes to greet Liu Yongping's apprentice.

Compared to the others, Yao Shi couldn't hide his surprise. Seeing that Fu Yu and Liu Yongping both looked like they hated seeing each other late, he was almost happy.

He was worrying about how to catch Liu Yongping's thread, but Fu Yu directly grasped the end of the thread firmly in his hand.

If one's luck is good, then Fu Yu is the most prosperous person this year.

Yao Shi was determined, and focused on the topic discussed by Liu Yongping and Fu Yu.

At first, he was just curious and wanted to listen to something.

But listening to it, I also invested in it unconsciously, and exchanged a few words with relish from time to time.

The others were collectively silent, Zhang Jiaxin and Zhu Wan were close, but Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu listened with gusto.

This is like discourse.

Two masters in the tribulation stage were discussing the Dao, and a few young monks in the Qi training stage were comprehending at the same place.

Everywhere is profound.

Yao Shi's mind was fixed, and he focused on the topic discussed by Liu Yongping and Fu Yu.

At first, he was just curious and wanted to listen to something.

But listening to it, I also invested in it unconsciously, and exchanged a few words with relish from time to time.

But at this moment, Zhu Wan was lucky enough to sit with him in the corner, listening to the two of them quietly, and finally understood that when he asked Liu Yuqing in the baking area, what was Fu Yu's strongest? That sentence: "Fu Chu is very good in every aspect."

Now he finally realized that it wasn't the so-called beauty in the eye of the beholder, but that Fu Yu was really strong!

People have already been able to tell Liu Yongping in front of him that your cooking method is not good, the attention to details is wrong, and how to improve here.

And Liu Yongping took it very seriously, he originally planned to come over and have a good exchange with Fu Yu.

In terms of some detailed operations, he even thought about discussing it with Fu Yu.

However, as the communication deepened, the atmosphere seemed a little strange!

I don't know if Liu Yongping got excited and was too excited during the conversation, or if Fu Yu met a master and started to learn from each other, he got a little bit over the top.

Or maybe the topic is too appropriate and the atmosphere is too hot.

Anyway, the originally harmonious atmosphere of communication between the two, along with the constant rebuttals and arguments, has unknowingly developed into a state of tension!

The two of you spoke to each other, arguing emotionally!

The audience members unknowingly raised their hearts, for fear that the two would fight again without saying a word!

If he really made a move, it would become a big joke!

Dong Juntian anxiously winked at Yao Shi who was sitting opposite!

If he really made a move, he must be held back. Xiao Fu is still young, so it's okay if he gets hit twice!

Liu Yongping is different!

We must protect Liu Yongping at critical moments!

This person cannot afford to be offended!

Yao Shi raised his brows. Anyway, he was sitting next to Fu Yu, and something really happened. It would be a big deal to protect people behind him, how could he let his own people suffer!
