Chapter 208: Digging the Foot of the Wall
The duel between the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets and the Eight Treasures Banquet finally ended in an equal split, and this incident suddenly became the head of the top ten Internet hot search gangs of the month, and the matter of the North and South chefs competing on the same stage has also become the biggest talking point of the Chinese people after tea and dinner during this period of time.
After winning the title of King of Southern Kitchen, Gu Xingzhi's worth was guaranteed, and countless calls came into Gu Xingzhi's mobile phone that day, and Wu Ming was wondering, how did this Gu Xingzhi's number leak out.
Among these calls, some invited Gu Xingzhi to do a talk show, some asked Gu Xingzhi to give a lecture to teach skills, and of course, there were also some messages that came to dig up the wall.
However, for this information, Gu Xingzhi was very calm, and just threw his mobile phone aside: "It's really a poor move in the city and no one asks, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, when I retired, who asked me half a sentence, and when I sat and ate empty, who cared about me for half a point." Now they all popped up. ”
Wu Ming smiled: "Chef Gu, I see that the conditions sent by someone are not bad, why don't you talk about it." ”
Gu Xingzhi smiled: "Okay, you don't have to test me, my Gu Xingzhi's career can only be continued by relying on the boss, I am not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, in this life, I only follow you." ”
When the group returned to the urban area of Panlong City, they held a very grand welcome ceremony in the Xiangwen Hall, and the other chefs who had doubts about Gu Xingzhi before, and even doubted Gu Xingzhi's level, were accepted this time.
What are you kidding, the opponent is Jing Wenqing! He is the only heir of the Manchu and Han Dynasty in the world today, and he can use the Eight Treasures Banquet to fight against him, and he can even divide the equals, such a legendary figure can only be used to worship.
The welcome banquet was very grand, and Lu Fei'er also took the opportunity to take people and stir it up, seeing that Gu Xingzhi had changed from a yesterday's yellow flower that gradually faded out of the industry to a hot star again.
But on the opening day, Wu Ming encountered an incident.
On this day, when everyone was celebrating in the Xiangwen Hall, Wu Ming suddenly found that Gu Xingzhi's mobile phone was ringing constantly, so he helped Gu Xingzhi pick up the mobile phone, and the moment he picked it up, he found that the number displayed on it looked a little familiar.
Wu Ming tried to search on his mobile phone, and found that the call was from Feng Long.
Wu Ming was taken aback, Feng Long, this guy, contacting Gu Xingzhi at this time, must be nothing good.
However, out of trust in Gu Xingzhi, Wu Ming didn't say anything, but put the phone back casually, and continued to celebrate Gu Xingzhi's success with everyone.
Nan Chef Wang personally sat in the restaurant, and the Xiangwen Hall became a hot restaurant for a while, and the guests who Wu Ming could only invite by Du Yutong before, from officials to some showbiz stars, and even local entrepreneurs, came one after another.
But after these people came, they all felt that this restaurant had undergone some inconspicuous changes, and the former Xiangwen Hall was extremely luxurious, so that these people could experience the luxurious feeling that was completely different from other restaurants.
But now the Xiangwen Pavilion has a hint of back-to-basics, in addition, the price of dishes has also been significantly reduced, which is only a little higher than the working consumption, even if it is really a working-class person, you can bring your family to experience it once you grit your teeth.
Although the income of the whole restaurant has declined from the flow of a single restaurant, Wu Ming is very clear that if it goes on like this, the Xiangwen Museum will definitely have the conditions to play and open a chain.
On this day, Wu Ming was looking at the restaurant when he saw Gu Xingzhi suddenly receive a phone call, and then he told the kitchen and left the restaurant.
Wu Ming felt a little strange, Gu Xingzhi had no relatives and no reason in the local area, and his only relative was his daughter Gu Xiaowan, and now Gu Xiaowan was still in his own home, taking care of it by himself, and treating Gu Xiaowan, why did Gu Xingzhi receive a phone call and leave so mysteriously.
Wu Ming felt very strange, so he asked someone: "Has Chef Gu been going out a lot lately?"
"Oh......" Xiao Cai rang for a moment and did not speak.
Wu Ming's face sank immediately: "Xiao Cai, what is the situation? ”
Xiao Cai followed Wu Ming out of the door with a worried face, Wu Ming pulled Xiao Cai into a corner where no one was, frowned and asked, "If you have anything to tell me, tell me honestly, don't force me to sit down and make you unhappy." ”
Xiao Cai was still too young after all, and was frightened by Wu Mingyi, so he immediately said everything: "Chef Gu seems to be a little restless these days, and it seems that he often has some mysterious phone calls to contact him. But boss, Chef Gu's personality must be no problem, please believe him. ”
"That's not your business. Wu Ming said: "Just do your own thing." ”
After speaking, Wu Ming called Bai Bin, and after telling Gu Xingzhi about the recent situation, Bai Bin also felt a little strange: "This thing is a bit abnormal, but I think it's okay, don't worry too much, maybe it's Chef Gu who has some personal matters to deal with." ”
"There's something private to hide from me. Wu Ming was a little angry: "I'm not the stupid boy I used to be now, don't look at me helping him before, in case someone hands him an olive branch, the conditions are many times better than what I gave, I don't believe that this king of southern chefs is not impressed." ”
"You're so black-bellied now. Bai Bin sighed and said: "But I don't think so, you will know if you think about it, Gu Xingzhi's career, before I met you, to be honest, was already ruined."
But now Gu Xingzhi has found his second spring, in addition, his daughter now has to rely on you to help treat her illness, besides, you helped Gu Xingzhi win the title of King of Southern Kitchen, and the treatment you gave, to be honest, I don't think anyone can give higher treatment. ”
Hearing Bai Bin say this, Wu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt a little wrong.
This afternoon, Wu Ming stayed in the interrogation hall all the time, wanting to wait until Gu Xingzhi came back, and the two of them had an open and honest talk, but the strange thing was that Gu Xingzhi did not come back until the evening.
Wu Ming finally got a little anxious, so he simply took out his mobile phone to call Gu Xingzhi, and after calling, he found that Gu Xingzhi had turned off his phone.
Wu Ming was a little worried, so he hurriedly contacted Huang Xiaomao in the village, and asked Huang Xiaomao to quietly go to his house to have a look to see if Gu Xingzhi's daughter Gu Xiaowan was still there.
A few minutes later, Huang Xiaomao called over and told Wu Ming that Gu Xiaowan was fine now, but the suspicion in Wu Ming's heart became thick, and then he called Gu Xingzhi again, but the phone was never turned on.
Finally, when it was almost time to close, the shopkeeper had closed the door and started cleaning, but at this time, he heard someone outside using a key to open the door.
The person who can have the key to the Xiangwen Hall, except for the managers here, is Wu Ming and Gu Xingzhi, Wu Ming quickly stood up and walked to the door, and saw Gu Xingzhi covering his face and slowly opening the door.
Wu Ming was taken aback, and quickly opened the door, although Gu Xingzhi was trying his best to cover his face, Wu Ming still found that Gu Xingzhi's face was swollen several times, and it looked like he had been beaten.
Wu Ming was shocked: "What's the situation?Chef Gu, what's going on with your face?"
"I ...... It's okay......" Gu Xingzhi said: "I fell while walking." ”
Wu Ming didn't believe it at all: "Tell me honestly, what the hell is going on? Was it beaten? Who did it?"
Gu Xingzhi was still flickering, and Wu Ming finally became anxious: "Damn! Gu Xingzhi What do you mean, you are working here with me now, you are my person, if anyone bullies you, Lao Tzu is the first to disagree, you tell me......"
"Okay, okay, I'm just afraid of your reflection, so I don't want to tell you...... Actually, it's ......" Gu Xingzhi thought for a while: "It's all a small matter, I've solved it, I don't want to cause trouble anymore, Wu Ming, I beg you, just let this matter pass." ”
Wu Ming snorted: "Your face has made people beat into a pig's head, it's still a trivial matter, I, Wu Ming, have never bullied people since my debut, but I have never been bullied, if you are beaten by someone, I don't care, it is a signboard to smash me Wu Ming." ”
Finally, after experiencing Wu Ming's repeated Cui Wen, Gu Xingzhi finally told the truth: "During this time, Feng Guozhen has been contacting me, and he asked me to work in his hotel, but I didn't agree. ”
Wu Ming was furious: "Feng Guozhen, this little rabbit cub seems to have not let me clean up enough, and he still dares to harass my people!"
"Wu Ming, don't be angry. Gu Xingzhi said: "I think Feng Guozhen, this kid, that is, he went to the doctor in a hurry, and the things that his father told him to do were all done by him, and now he has no status at all in the Feng family, and now he is arranged to manage a hotel, which is basically equivalent to being distributed in disguise."
He now knows that I have won the title of King of South Chef, and he wants to poach me, and when he called before, I have clearly refused, but ......"
Speaking of this, Gu Xingzhi gritted his teeth, looking very unwilling, and Wu Ming immediately noticed that something was abnormal.
"Chef Gu, but what? You tell me the truth, I can help you. Wu Ming said.
Gu Xingzhi sighed: "He told me that the current Panlong City is the world of their Feng family, and you have no way to compete with their family, if I don't agree to him, he will attack my girl Xiaowan." ”
Wu Ming understands now, Feng Guozhen, this kid is really completely shameless now.
