Chapter 108: The Owner of the Hotel
March 28, 528 at 11:00 a.m
"What do you want me to do?" Hongying asked Li Tong rhetorically.
Li Tong said: "I want you to find the family that may be your sister." β
"Does Mrs. Dream think that Mr. Dream attaches too much importance to the Celestial Star and neglects you and your daughter? I think you can rest assured, Tianxing is not Menglou's biological daughter after all, and he can't put the treasure on an irrelevant person. What do you have to worry about? β
Li Tong looked at his daughter worriedly: "My daughter has no talent for learning magic, and she has nothing extraordinary. Of course I'm worried about my daughter's future. β
"Don't you want to ask your daughter what she wants? Maybe something will happen? β
Li Tong pondered for a while: "Originally, like Meng Lou, I thought it would be okay to let my daughter marry into a good aristocratic family in the future. But now everyone is about the same, and the slightly better people have basically chosen their fiancΓ©es, I just hope that Menglou can put more effort into our daughter. β
"Don't you want to make yourself a good man among the old aristocracy? Why don't you choose to let someone else slap you? β
"Our Li family is just a distant relative of the former queen, and now we are just barely among the old nobles. Who's going to slap me? β
Hongying whispered to Li Tong, "Can't Mrs. Dream see it now?" Now it is risky to be a judge paladin, the number of places is small, and it depends on relationships to enter the system. Most people today are talking about doing business. Do you know how many people want to buy shares in my Rose Hotel? β
"Is your hotel profitable?"
"The point is not to make money, the point is that my partner is His Royal Highness the Prince."
Li Tong's eyes gradually changed when he looked at Hongying.
Hongying smiled at Li Tong, "Mrs. Meng, I actually want to ask you for a favor." In return, I will give you and your daughter a total of 1% of the shares, which is not much now, but it is also my little care. β
Li Tong's eyes flashed: "Miss Xiangri, what do you need me to help with?" β
"Tell me all the details about the celestial star, where he got it from, his name before coming to the dream house, and preferably with accurate evidence. As soon as you have news, you will hand it over to the front desk of the hotel. In two days, when the equestrian competition is over, I will take the time to send you the contract. β
"After all these years, I don't think I can get the evidence so quickly." Li Tong was a little embarrassed.
"Are you rejecting me?" Hong Ying stared at Li Tong.
Li Tong panicked: "Okay, I know." Li Tong nodded to Hongying and turned to leave.
Hongying looked at Li Tong and said, "That's right, Mrs. Meng." β
Li Tong jumped and turned to look at Hongying.
Hongying put her finger to her lips: "Be sure to keep it a secret. I'll continue to ask you for help in the future. β
Li Tong nodded and left.
Xiang Risong walked over: "I see you have been talking for a long time, what have you talked about?" β
"It's nothing, just let her look into something."
"Li Tong just listens to you?" Xiang Risong looked in Li Tong's direction suspiciously.
Hongying put the empty cup in her hand in the dirty bowl under the bar: "The eldest lady who has never seen much of the world since she was a pampered child, and she still looks stupid and sweet." No matter how willful she is, if you treat her a little better, she will be happy. Be fierce to her, and she will be afraid. β
"This Li Tong is so easy to handle?" Mukaimatsu took a sip of juice.
Hongying looked around and said, "Li Tong told me Menglou's biggest secret so directly, it seems that Li Tong is already in a state of extreme distrust of Menglou." β
"What did you give her?"
"One percent of the shares."
"Why? Can't you make this money yourself? Why give it to her? β
"This war is coming, and the risk score is spread."
Xiang Risong ate the pastry on the table: "You sold the shares?" β
"Fendi is 30 percent, I am 40 percent, Marshall is 20 percent, and 10 percent is in the hands of the other twenty."
"I didn't expect Marshall to have 20 percent of the shares."
"Originally, we were going to be a restaurant, but Fendi fancy several good locations that are suitable for hotels, so we handed over the hotel management to Marshall." Hongying picked up the pastry and took a bite, then put it down with a frown, "Who made these?" β
Xiang Risong looked at Hongying with a disgusted expression, then silently put down the pastry in his hand and said, "What's wrong?" β
"This strawberry is so sour, haven't you noticed?"
"Isn't it normal for strawberries to be sour occasionally?"
"But the pastry you're eating right now that has been processed by a pastry chef shouldn't be too sour. Otherwise, you just eat strawberries. β
"I think you just don't like sour strawberries. No one likes something too sour, and you will find it exciting and refreshing to take a bite, but you won't be able to eat it for long. β
Xiang Risong took the second and third bites, and then Xiang Risong felt that his teeth were a little unbearable.
Xiang Himatsu left the remaining half of the pastry on the table: "Okay, you're right. β
"I'm starting to worry a little about today's luncheon today."
"Why don't you go and see?"
"Forget it, I'll offend them like this, maybe the pastry is just a mistake, after all, fruit is really not easy to grasp the scale." Red Ying shrugged her shoulders and took a knife in front of the strawberry cake area, cutting a triangular cake into four small triangles.
Xiang Risong nodded: "This is a good way, not everyone can endure it until the last bite." β
"The main thing is to avoid waste. If you like to eat sour, you can take more, and if you don't like to eat, one bite is enough. β
12:00
King Billy and his parade of flowers returned, and the old and new nobles stood outside the palace to greet them.
King Billy is at the front, followed by the Royal Family, the Councillors, and the Magic King. The old and new aristocrats were the last to enter.
The feast is on, and the dishes are served. King Billy frowned after taking the first bite. Fendi immediately took a bite and found that the taste was definitely not acceptable to his father.
King Billy asked aloud, "Who is in charge of the luncheon?" β
Ma Jia Wenzhu and Ma Jia Wen Yi stood up: "Your Royal Highness, it's us. β
"How can the chef of the palace be at this level?" Billy was furious.
Ma Jia Wenzhu explained: "The previous chefs were also chefs at the Rose Restaurant. β
Jin Lily raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, the few trained cooks were all injured during the war and could not cook. So only the rest of the chef can be used. β
King Billy slapped the table: "There aren't a few good chefs in my Rose Kingdom?" Then go and get me the people who trained them. β
Jin Lily hesitated a little: "This ......"
"What's wrong? Also hurt? β
Hongying took a sip of the soup in front of her, and then silently put down the spoon. Xiang Risong looked at Hongying: "Is it really hard to eat?" β
Hongying whispered, "It tastes weird, it can't be made by my students." It can't be that many people were hurt. β
"It won't be because their prices are too high, and the Ma Jia brothers can't afford it." Himatsu said jokingly.
"The councillors are definitely funded. So you think the Ma Jia brothers deliberately found cheap cooks to make these luncheons? No wonder these are cheap ingredients. I don't think they thought the gap would be so obvious. Hongying pursed her lips.
Siwei Alice said: "I remember that Hongying also served as the head chef of our college restaurant, and they all said that Hongying's cooking skills are good, why don't you open our eyes?" β
Melili suddenly laughed: "It turns out that the people of the Xiang Ri family have also worked as chefs." β
Everyone looked at Hongying in unison.
Hongying leaned back in her chair and looked at Princess Melily, then at King Billy, "That's right, I've been a chef, and I'm a chef now, you're used to eating my students' cooking, I don't think you can eat other people's food." β
Melili pouted, "What kind of attitude do you have?" β
Hongying stood up: "Your Highness, do you need to prepare this luncheon again?" β
"Of course, I will never eat such an unpalatable thing at this king's luncheon."
"Call the manager first, you should know why this is happening, I have to prepare a luncheon for everyone, wait for me for half an hour." Red Ying winked at Fendi.
Fendi called out the manager, who knelt tremblingly in front of the king.
Fendi looked at the unfamiliar manager in front of him: "Who are you, the original manager?" β
"I turned out to be the owner of a restaurant, and two days ago, two, the judge, and the lord, came to us and said that the Rose Restaurant needed us to be managers and chefs, so we came." The manager stammered.
"So none of the staff at the Rose Restaurant are the same people." Fendi looked at the Ma Jia brothers, "Why did you do this?" β
"Your Royal Highness, because we couldn't find the original cooks, and then we inquired about them all injured, so we found other chefs." Ma Jia Wen Yi's eyes rolled rapidly.
Fendi touched her forehead: "Didn't you check beforehand, don't you know that I have been managing the Rose Restaurant all along?" You guys are stealing beams and pillars in the middle, don't you think I won't know? I'll give you a little power, and you'll do this kind of thing? All the chefs at Rose Restaurant have been trained by Hongying and screened layer by layer. The owner of this kind of small restaurant can't even recognize the more expensive ingredients, and you let them come to make such an important luncheon as your father. β
Many nobles ate a few bites of the food on the table out of curiosity, and each showed ugly expressions.
However, there are also aristocrats who have never eaten at the Rose Restaurant and eat at home, and they don't seem to have a particularly big opinion about these meals.
Ying Xing and Meng Tianxing spit it out immediately after taking a bite, and Ying Xing complained: "There is really no way to compare this with what Hongying did." β
Yingchuan Liu looked at Yingxing in surprise: "When did your mouth become so bad?" Yingchuan Liu took a bite and spit it out: "This, there is no taste at all." β
"Brother Ma Jia is also a person who has seen the world no matter how he says, how can he find such a chef, can they cook?"
"That's right."
"We've all come to eat at the Rose Restaurant, it's really delicious, but I didn't expect them to be taught by Miss Xiangri."
Those aristocrats who didn't know Hongying's cooking skills all felt that the reaction of the others was too great. Even the Ma Jia brothers didn't understand why they were discovered.
The Ma Jia brothers think that the chefs are all the same, as long as the food is cooked. Didn't know that food could be even tastier.
King Billy looked at Brother Ma Jia angrily but helplessly: "Don't tell me that you have never eaten out again?" β
Brother Ma Jia nodded and handed over the remaining extra funds: "We thought that the chefs were all the same, so there was no need to spend so much money. So we want to save that money. Your Royal Highness, I beg your forgiveness. β
King Billy shook his head, "Originally, the purpose of the luncheon was to taste some delicious food together and enjoy the pleasure of the food. Since there are people who have not experienced delicious food, let's enjoy the food today. β
Melili muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it just cooking, is it necessary to hold the red screen so high?" How unpalatable it can be. β
"You'll find out if you try it yourself." Fendi didn't bother to bother with Melilli.
Melili hadn't eaten it yet, and she felt wrong just by smelling it: "It smells weird, and the meat is so fishy." β
The manager knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, and Fendi patted the manager on the back: "You go and call people to remove all these dishes, and then go to the back kitchen to see if the chef needs help." If you and your people dare to flee, you are finished, do you hear? β
"Yes, I see." The manager left the banquet hall and called the chef out.
The cooks, dressed in dirty and oily chef suits, removed all the food from the table. The nobles avoided them with all sorts of disgust. The chef was reluctant to throw away the food, so he put it on the table in the other private room.
After waiting anxiously for half an hour, Hongying finally came out in a chef's uniform.
"I'll let the waiters serve the food in order, but I'll have to keep an eye on it in the back kitchen, and if I need an introduction, I'll let Prince Fendi, who knows a lot about food, introduce it."
Fendi looked at Hongying: "I'm coming?" β
"As you know, these are mostly the staples of Rose. I've got to get busy, I'll leave it to you. β
Hongying sat in the back while directing the chefs who had changed into clean and tidy clothes to deliver each dish to everyone in order.
King Billy can see the high taste of the red screen when he looks at the plating, so that the picturesque plating brings a good feeling visually for the first time.
Hongying's cuisine saves everyone's taste buds, and those who have not tasted Hongying's cooking are like opening the door to a new world.
The meal is over, and Hongying walks out in her exclusive chef's uniform.
Hongying looked at King Billy: "Your Royal Highness, are you still satisfied with today's luncheon?" β
The king nodded, unable to speak. Hongying looked at him like this, knowing that he spoke: "Hongying, there is really a big gap between your students and you, I ate the food you cooked today, I think my tongue can't leave you anymore." β
Fendi said: "Father, there are really too few talents in the catering industry now, I think we should let Hongying continue to teach students, and let the delicious food be passed on." β
King Billy nodded: "That's right, this king will make Hongying the royal chef." Because of you, my luncheon will be so successful. Billy looked at Brother Ma Jia: "Wenzhu, Wenyu, what do you think of Hongying's cooking?" β
Brother Ma Jia burst into tears: "It's the first time we've eaten such delicious food, and we underestimated the profession of chef." Hongying, you can make these simple foods so delicious, the cooking is really meaningful, I feel like my heart is warm. β
Hongying smiled: "It's not as exaggerated as you say." I just cook with my heart, and I hope that everyone can enjoy it when they are fine. Regarding those people in the back kitchen, does His Highness have any plans? β
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll forgive them this time." His Royal Highness looked at Hongying and smiled.
Fendi watched with some surprise as the king easily bypassed them.
Hongying turned and walked to the box where they had gathered, watching them eat the food they had made.
Hongying said, "These foods are cold, I'll help you warm them up." β
They bowed their heads and said, "No, just eat like this." β
"Anyway, it's not bad for a while, I'll help you warm it up." Hongying snatched the tasteless food from their hands and walked into the kitchen.
After Hongying's adjustments, those meals were completely different.
The cooks didn't notice it, but after taking a bite, they realized: "How did this taste become ......?"
"How's it going?"
"It's getting better." The cooks gulped down those.
Hongying smiled: "Slow down, your amount of food is really big." β
One chef said, "After the war, our old restaurant was destroyed, so we had to find a random restaurant to run errands as a cook." β
"Would you like to learn how to cook with me, if you do a good job, I can keep you, and you don't have to worry about work." Hongying proposed.
"Really? Are you really willing to teach us? β
"Of course."
"But why? It takes a lot of effort to teach us, and it is better to hire a chef who is already very good at cooking. β
Hongying smiled: "It's okay for me, but if you don't want to, I won't force you." β
"We do, very willingly. But we don't have the money to learn. β
"You don't have to give me money, I need some odd jobs at the Rose Hotel, if you want, you can help me during the day, and I'll teach you how to cook at night. Eat and live. β
"Eat and stay?" The cooks' eyes lit up.
"That's right!" Hongying nodded.
The cooks looked at each other and hesitated: "This, we ...... this"
The manager reluctantly raised his hand and asked, "I, can I also be together?" β
Hongying counted the number of people: "There are eight of you in total, follow me directly in a while." β
"Thank you to the owner! Thank you owner! β
