Chapter 553 of the text takes a different path
In Lin Qianyi's opinion, if you can invite Chef Xia's brother, at least you can open a branch first, although the new store that opens is unlikely to provide Lingcai, the signature dish of Tianmeilou, in a short period of time, but at least it can be regarded as a small step forward in the development of the restaurant.
It's just that, to her surprise, Chef Xia directly rejected her idea: "I'm sorry Boss Lin, I'm afraid I have to refuse this request." ”
"Why?" Lin Qianyi said in surprise.
Chef Xia said: "Boss Lin, you also know my temper, I don't want to do this kind of thing of asking people to do things. Besides, even if I am willing to pull down this face and beg others, but there is no ingredient like Lingcai, which every chef dreams of, do you think that my brothers and sisters will come all the way from the capital to you? Not everyone is willing to give up their life in the capital like me and come to Jiangbei to work hard. ”
After listening to Chef Xia, Lin Qianyi was immediately silent, because she knew that what Chef Xia said was right, she was lucky to be able to invite Chef Xia at the beginning, and at that time, Chef Xia happened to have a conflict with a manager in the restaurant where she was located, which made her seize the opportunity and invite him to come to Jiangbei for development. Without this opportunity, she would not have had the opportunity to talk about Chef Xia.
Seeing Lin Qianyi nodded, Chef Xia spread his hands, and finally concluded: "So, Boss Lin, the idea that you want to develop and expand Tianmei Building is good, but please don't be in a hurry, you are still young and have time, why are you in such a hurry to open a branch?"
When Lin Qianyi heard this, she didn't say anything, but was silent.
Wang Xiaochuan on the side also felt very helpless when he saw this, to be honest, he was actually more inclined to Chef Xia's statement, and he also felt that Lin Qianyi wanted to expand Tianmei Building, but he was actually stimulated by himself and made a wrong decision.
But he didn't want to see Lin Qianyi sad, since he agreed to her, he still hoped to come up with a way to solve the current difficulties.
At this moment, Wang Xiaochuan suddenly heard a chef next to him whisper: "Alas, if there is anything similar to spiritual vegetables, this branch is not impossible to open?"
...... something like a spiritual vessel?
Wang Xiaochuan pondered for a while, and then, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a good way to perfectly solve Lin Qianyi's troubles!
This method was also inspired by the chef's self-talk just now, although he really couldn't expand the production of spiritual vegetables in a short period of time, it didn't mean that he couldn't come up with something similar to spiritual vegetables.
And in that little time just now, Wang Xiaochuan had already thought of an idea, that is, to use ordinary ingredients to make a perfect dish similar to a spiritual dish in a certain way!
In Wang Xiaochuan's view, the reason why the spiritual vegetables he cultivated are delicious is entirely because these ingredients absorb the spiritual energy in the water of Wangjiagou Lingtan Lake in the process of cultivation.
And this solution, Wang Xiaochuan just thought about it for a while and got the answer.
Speaking of this answer, I also have to mention the fact that Wang Xiaochuan used medicinal herbs to make cultivation pills in the past to replace spirit stones.
In fact, there is such a thing as reiki in all things in heaven and earth, but there are more auras in some things and less in some things.
Among the objects that are unexpected except for spirit stones, the spiritual energy content in the herbs can be said to be relatively large.
Therefore, as long as the method is right, the aura in the herbs can be transferred into the dishes during cooking, so as to make a delicious taste that is not weaker than the spiritual vegetables.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaochuan already had a comprehensive plan.
He immediately said to Lin Qianyi, who was frowning, "Sister Qianyi, I seem to have thought of a way!"
Then, he said that he planned to use ordinary ingredients and herbs to make dishes that were not weaker than spiritual vegetables.
"Xiaochuan, can this really be done?" Lin Qianyi asked with some skepticism and some surprise.
"I haven't done it yet, but I'm 70% sure. Wang Xiaochuan nodded.
Hearing this, Lin Qianyi immediately overjoyed, she knew Wang Xiaochuan, and knew that the other party rarely said big words, since he said that he was seventy percent sure, then he must be seventy percent sure.
In contrast, the chefs on the side were deeply skeptical of Wang Xiaochuan's words.
Especially that Chef Xia, I don't know why, after hearing Wang Xiaochuan's words, his face turned pale.
Then, he suddenly slapped the coffee table and said angrily: "Boss Wang, please don't continue to talk about it!"
Wang Xiaochuan looked at Chef Xia who suddenly changed his face in some surprise, with an inexplicable expression.
But he didn't know that what he said just now actually really made Chef Xia feel a little insulted.
In fact, since this Xia chef saw the magical ingredient of Lingcai, he has been conducting culinary research in private, wanting to use ordinary ingredients to make delicious dishes comparable to Lingcai like the protagonist.
It's just that even with Chef Xia's mastery, he has never been able to grasp the essentials and cannot succeed.
Therefore, after he heard Wang Xiaochuan say that he was seventy percent sure that he could make a delicacy comparable to spiritual vegetables, he immediately became furious. In his opinion, Wang Xiaochuan's ability to cultivate spiritual vegetables is indeed very powerful, but growing vegetables and cooking vegetables are completely unrelated things.
He admires Wang Xiaochuan's ability to grow vegetables and do business, but cooking is not growing vegetables, nor is it doing business, cooking is a skill that takes time to accumulate, even if Wang Xiaochuan is really talented in this area, because he is too young, so his cooking skills are absolutely impossible to be high, let alone come up with a way that even he can't think of, using ordinary ingredients to make delicious food that is comparable to Lingcai.
Therefore, he felt that Wang Xiaochuan's words were an insult to those chefs who have been reborn in cooking for most of their lives.
"Mr. Wang, are you all three-year-olds? Your method will never succeed! Don't you know that your opening of your mouth is an insult to those of us who have been studying cooking all the time!"
Wang Xiaochuan never expected Chef Xia's reaction to be so intense, and thought that he had misunderstood something, so he hurriedly said: "Chef Xia, you misunderstood, what I said is true!"
"You still say?!" Chef Xia suddenly became a little angry, and shouted angrily: "Mr. Wang, even if you are my boss, I will not allow you to insult the craft of cooking, today you either apologize for what you just said, or I will resign!"
After that, he also threw his chef's hat on the coffee table and glared angrily at Wang Xiaochuan.
