Chapter 140: Rivalry
Wu Xiaoyu came to the second floor and found Zhou Dong, but before he could speak, he was excitedly grabbed by him.
"Xiaoyu, this mushroom sauce you sent is really amazing! After several chefs in the store tasted it, they were all full of praise...... "Zhou Dong boasted about it.
When Wu Xiaoyu saw his excited appearance, he knew that he should have something to earn by setting up a factory to make mushroom sauce, so he hurriedly interrupted him and said:
"Received unanimous praise from the chefs, and half of my hanging heart was put down, but I don't know if the general public can accept it?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Dong asked with a slight puzzlement after stopping his excitement.
Wu Xiaoyu explained: "Isn't there such a saying? It's a mule and a horse comes out for a walk. So I thought...... Can you experiment with it in this shop?"
Zhou Dong suddenly realized: "What should I do? What I said is so mysterious, isn't it just to promote it in the store first! I have already arranged it for you, you can taste the dishes on the table." ”
Wu Xiaoyu picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the dish, and as soon as he put it in his mouth, he noticed a strong fresh fragrance.
"This fish?"
Zhou Dong glanced at him, made a rare and strange expression, and said: "When making this fish, the chef added some mushroom sauce to it to make the umami of the fish even stronger!"
After listening to his explanation, Wu Xiaoyu used chopsticks to pick up the fish a few more times, and sure enough, he found the particles of shiitake mushrooms.
Wu Xiaoyu carefully observed several other dishes, and also found the shadow of mushroom sauce, and after tasting them one by one, he really felt that these dishes were more delicious than before.
"It's really good! It seems that buddy is going to have another way to make money!" Wu Xiaoyu said complacently.
Zhou Dong interrupted his speculation, and then said: "I have asked the chef in the store to add mushroom sauce to several signature dishes, as for whether it can be accepted by ordinary diners, we will soon know!"
If these mushroom sauces can be accepted by ordinary diners, they will naturally be happy, but if they can't accept them, won't they smash the signboard in the store?
Isn't that a bit of a disadvantage?
Wu Xiaoyu said with some hesitation: "Zhou Dong, I mean, first add mushroom sauce to some ordinary dishes, and give everyone a try, is it a bit risky for you to add mushrooms directly to the signature dish?"
Zhou Dong didn't care, and laughed heartily: "Actually, if you want me to say, if this mushroom sauce can be accepted by you and me, and can be unanimously praised by the chefs, there will definitely be no problem!"
"Are the ordinary diners pickier on their tongues than the chefs? You're a little too cautious, why don't I take you down and see how the diners react?"
With that, the two got up and prepared to go downstairs to find out.
As soon as he left the box and walked in the corridor on the second floor, Zhou Dong found Wu Xiaoyu's parents who were dining downstairs, and couldn't help complaining: "Really, why don't you bring your uncle and them to the box?"
Wu Xiaoyu smiled but did not speak.
When the two came downstairs, Zhou Dong was about to run over and say hello to Wu Youliang and his wife, but was stopped by Wu Xiaoyu.
"It's not too late to wait a while, let's see what the diners think of this mushroom sauce first!" Wu Xiaoyu said, beckoning a waiter.
Wu Xiaoyu instructed the waiter: "How many tables of regulars can you find and ask them what they think of today's yellow braised grass carp?"
The waiter responded and walked towards a few tables of regulars, while Wu Xiaoyu pulled Zhou Dong and sat down on the vacant seat.
Zhou Dong seemed to be a little puzzled and dissatisfied with Wu Xiaoyu's actions, his face was a little unpleasant, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Isn't it okay for us to go over and say hello to your parents first?"
When Wu Xiaoyu heard this, she smiled, and then lowered her head in the direction of her parents, and motioned for Zhou Dong to take a closer look.
Zhou Dong glanced at it briefly, but he didn't see anything unusual, and stared at Wu Xiaoyu puzzled, seeing how he explained.
Wu Xiaoyu saw that he hadn't seen it through, so he shook his head and explained, "Look, what are my parents doing at the table next to them?"
What are you doing? Of course, you came to the restaurant to eat?
Zhou Dong became more and more puzzled, but he looked over again, observed carefully, and found that there were famous waiters standing next to the two tables, and the two waiters kept writing and drawing in their notebooks.
"Don't buy it! What the hell is going on?"
"My parents are fighting with people, didn't we disturb them when we went over...... Ahem!"
Only then did Zhou Dong realize that the two tables seemed to be ordering food non-stop, what kind of comparison was this?
Wu Xiaoyu naturally didn't see it, he heard it. With his current ear strength, as long as he wants to hear, within a radius of one kilometer, if a needle falls on the ground, he can hear it.
As soon as he came downstairs with Zhou Dong, he heard the guests at the table next to his parents say in a bad voice:
"Listening to this accent, it's a country bun, and you can also come to this store to set up a score? See what they will pay for a while! Don't bet the clothes on your body here, it won't be much!"
The waiter Xiaohui wanted to admonish the impolite guests at this table, but was stopped by Wu Youliang, and only heard him say lightly:
"Another Dongpo elbow, a yellow braised grass carp, a hundred birds returning to the nest, and a kung pao chicken!"
A few people at the next table, while listening to him order, flipped through the menu, and when he finished ordering again, these people's faces suddenly darkened, just these four dishes cost nearly two thousand yuan!
Who the hell is this old man? Although he is dressed like a dog, he is a broken peasant when he hears this!
Seeing Wu Youliang so arrogant, the person who was entertaining at the next table became more and more resentful, and turned over the cooking book irritably, and said to the waiter next to him: "Give me a portion of the dishes ordered at the adjacent table, and then have four cups of abalone!"
Seeing that he was so generous, several companions also helped: "I don't know if you have ever seen abalone in these buns?"
"This cup of abalone is eight hundred and sixty-six, not everyone can afford to eat!"
Seeing that Wu Youliang stopped talking, several people thought that he was defeated, and ridiculed more and more rampantly:
"Hey! Those rural people just love to put pens and can't afford to eat things, but they just want to order them! It is estimated that after a while, while people are not paying attention, they will have to find a waiter to cancel them!"
"That's it! I look down on this kind of poor ghost with a swollen face and a fat man! Obviously poor like a beggar, and if you are not convinced, you have to compare with others!"
The cynicism of these people successfully angered Wang Aifeng, she originally didn't want to pay attention to this group of people, but the more humble she was, the more rampant the other party became.
In his own son's shop, can he still let these people have the upper hand?
