Chapter 153: Invitation and Challenge (II)
"Oh, you say." Fang Yu returned to his poker face, and said in his heart that it was indeed a purpose.
"I want to invite you to be my personal chef, I don't know what you think, Boss Fang." After going around in a circle, Gu Zhennan finally said his purpose.
"Private chef?" Fang Yu didn't expect this Gu Dashao to make such a request.
"Yes, three days a week, you don't need to be responsible for the rest of the time, the monthly salary is 20,000, and it will be increased with my business trip, how about it?"
Gu Zhennan felt that his proposal was very sincere, considering the ratio between working hours and income, this is definitely the value of a first-class chef in China.
Fang Yu shrugged: "Thank you, I'm not interested." ”
"Why do you feel that the salary is low? The 50,000 is already the standard for star chefs in the Culinary Association. ”
Gu Zhennan raised the price again, and he was determined to win Fang Yu, not only because of Fang Yu's outstanding cooking skills, but also to create an opportunity to have dinner with Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao likes Fang Yu's food so much, so Gu Zhennan wants to ask Fang Yu to make a table of delicious food for her and give her a sweet surprise.
"I'm sorry, I'm really not interested."
Gu Zhennan's abacus played very loudly, but unfortunately Fang Yu still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt.
Gu Zhennan was not discouraged: "Boss Fang, I really invited you sincerely, do you think the salary is not appropriate?" If you can supply this level of ingredients for a long time, you can pay for it, so do it. ”
Fang Yu stopped what he was doing, looked at Gu Zhennan and said seriously: "I also answer very sincerely, thank you for your kindness, I don't have the idea of becoming a private chef, it's not a matter of money." ”
"What's the problem with that? You name it, and we can solve it together. Gu Zhennan still does not give up, he believes that all problems can be solved through negotiations and transactions.
I didn't expect this Gu Zhennan to be so difficult, Fang Yu had a little headache, he was most afraid of this kind of smiling face, but he forced him to do what he didn't want to do, he couldn't beat and scold, but it was really annoying.
"Okay, I'll think about it again, and now I still have to work, thank you." In desperation, Fang Yu had no choice but to use the word "drag".
Gu Zhennan knew that this matter could not be pushed too hard, after all, it was not to invite a chef to catch a strong man, and it still needed to be voluntary. However, he was confident in his conditions, and believed that Fang Yu would finally agree after weighing it.
Gu Zhennan took out a business card and put it on Fang Yu's counter, "Okay, please think about it carefully and call me if you think about it." ”
Fang Yu said noncommittally "um", Gu Zhennan didn't care, his father Gu Jianguo had taught him before, as long as he could achieve his goal, he didn't have to care too much about the small character of his subordinates.
Not long after Gu Zhennan left, Luo Qi came in a hurry, and asked Fang Yu anxiously as soon as they met:
"Why did you agree to a cooking duel with the heirs of the Tang family?"
"Huh?" Fang Yu was stunned when he heard this, he had been busy making Qingfeng rice just now, when did he agree to a showdown with Ma Hao's cooking skills.
Luo Qi looked at Fang Yu with a look of surprise on his face, and asked suspiciously, "Don't you know yourself?" ”
"What should I know?" Fang Yu asked rhetorically.
Luo Qi stroked her hair, revealing her forehead covered with fine sweat:
"Someone in several venues near the food hall is handing out leaflets, saying that tomorrow, the heirs of the soup family cuisine will have a cooking duel with the inventor of chicken bean curd, and the loser will agree to the winner on one condition."
Luo Qi paused for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you really want to compete with other people's cooking skills at the exhibition?" ”
"I did make a bet with Ma Hao before, but there was no such thing as a cooking duel." Fang Yu told the truth, things were very wrong, and the smell of conspiracy was too strong.
At this time, a man wearing the uniform of Shuxianglou squeezed over from the crowd, holding an antique apricot yellow poster in his hand.
"Boss Fang, the contemptible surname is Chu, and I am the manager of Shuxiang Building, and I will give you a war letter on behalf of Chef Ma Hao."
Fang Yu glanced at him, but didn't go to take the battle book.
"Boss Fang, this is a battle letter for you, please take it." Manager Chu didn't pay attention to Fang Yu when he saw it, and he didn't reach out to take the battle book, so he held the apricot yellow text sticker directly in front of Fang Yu.
Fang Yu frowned, shook his head and said, "Take this war letter back, and tell Ma Hao to stop playing tricks." ”
"Boss Fang, aren't you afraid?" Seeing that Fang Yu so decisively refused to accept Ma Hao's battle letter, Manager Chu immediately resorted to radical tactics.
Fang Yu snorted disdainfully and said, "You said the opposite, it should be your Chef Ma who is afraid." It must have been that today's situation was too unexpected for him, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to challenge me and want to take a desperate gamble. ”
Listening to Fang Yu's explanation of Ma Hao's predicament and intentions, Manager Chu Hao did not panic and retorted:
"I have heard for a long time that Boss Fang's cooking skills are outstanding, but I didn't expect that his tongue is more powerful than his cooking skills. What is the strength of Chef Ma, Boss Fang, you know it in your heart, and the grand occasion in front of the booth of Shuxianglou yesterday is a clear proof. I remember that Boss Fang's booth was never open yesterday. ”
"Oh, since Ma Hao is so powerful, why is he suddenly snubbed today."
"Chef Ma has always been humble and generous, yesterday he felt that the cold pot fish was too popular, and inadvertently robbed a lot of business from his peers, so he deliberately collected a little bit of skill today. Boss Fang can have such a good business today, but in fact, Chef Ma deliberately gave in. ”
Manager Chu was full of nonsense, his face was unashamed, and he said it with emotion, just like the real thing.
"Hey, according to what you say, then I should still thank Ma Hao?" Fang Yu couldn't help but be amused by Manager Chu's shamelessness.
Manager Chu waved his hand lightly: "Thank you is no need, as long as Boss Fang can understand Chef Ma's hard work and accept this battle letter." ”
Fang Yu sighed, he had seen people shameless, but he had never seen shamelessness like this. It's no wonder that my roommates used to say that "people are shameless, the world is invincible", but today I have seen it.
Fang Yu felt that it was not interesting to go around the bend with this guy again, so he asked directly: "Your joke is quite funny, but I still don't understand why I should accept Ma Hao's challenge." ”
Manager Chu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Boss Fang, you don't have to be so nervous. Chef Ma just felt that he was very disturbed by the other colleagues in the food hall because of his bet with you in the past two days. Anyway, in the past two days, both sides have won each other, even if it is a one-to-one draw, on the last day, Chef Ma wants to decide the winner or loser through a culinary duel. In this way, it will not affect the normal business of other peers, but also attract more popularity for the food hall, benefiting others and yourself, so why not do it. ”
"Well said." Fang Yu gave Manager Chu a few applause, "In this way, if I don't accept Ma Hao's challenge, it will seem a little selfish." ”
Boss Fang said seriously. It's just that this matter has been reported to the organizing committee of the exhibition. The organising committee is very supportive of this event and is ready to make the culinary duel between you and Chef Ma a a highlight and highlight before the closing of this year's Expo.
At present, as far as I know, tomorrow Shudu TV will send someone to record the whole process, and our Shuxianglou also invited the famous network anchor Mu Xueqi to broadcast the whole process. Boss Fang, this cooking duel will be very beneficial to you whether you win or lose, you don't want to live up to Chef Ma's hard work. ”
What Manager Chu said was sincere, and he looked like he was all thinking about you.
Fang Yu took a deep breath and laughed: "It's really hard for you Chef Ma, you have thought so carefully about all aspects." Come to think of it, Du Gongzi has been busy with his support for most of the day today. ”
Manager Chu said quietly: "Boss Fang is really good at telling jokes, our Director Du is..."
"Needless to say." Fang Yu interrupted Manager Chu's defense, and slapped the battle book in Manager Chu's hand, "If you want to fight, then fight." I only hope that tomorrow Mahao will not regret it. ”
