Chapter Twenty-Six: The Brave Win When They Meet on a Narrow Road

Yue Yao didn't do it himself since the first day of tasting, and only assisted in exercising them from the side. The chefs recruited have certain basic skills and can get started quickly. They also admire Yueyao's culinary innovation, so although there are also old chefs who have been in the industry for decades, they don't rely on the old and sell the old, and the whole chef team respects and learns from each other.

On the third day of the trial operation, Yue Yao listened to a familiar guest talk about that the Piaoxiangju on Weihua Street actually had the same dishes as the Spring Breeze Proud Building, although the taste was different, but it was not far away.

Yue Yao was a little surprised, did she encounter commercial espionage before it officially opened?

If there is a ghost in the restaurant, you must find him out as soon as possible. During the trial operation, in fact, many processes were not in place, and Yueyao was still busy with the opening, so he sent Xu Wei and Yan'er to Piaoxiangju to verify the authenticity of this matter.

Yan'er is half a chef and a gourmet, she has a very bad mouth, and non-food can't enter her mouth. She cooks by herself on weekdays, and she is also very familiar with the accessories, so whenever she has tasted the dishes, she can basically clearly say the ingredients in them.

Piaoxiangju added a new dish to the signature dish on this day - the full moon is good. They didn't even change their names, let alone the ingredients. Except for the lack of seasonings specially prepared by Yueyao, the matching amount of other auxiliary materials is not bad at all.

Xu Wei and the others immediately reported the situation to Yue Yao when they came back.

The leakage of the dish is not strange, as long as you have eaten in the Spring Breeze Proud Building, you can make something similar if you have the heart. However, when it comes to the matching and dosage of auxiliary materials, it can be grasped so accurately, which must be an internal ghost.

There are not many people who can get access to the recipes, except for the people who run the shopkeeper's book, and the search scope is narrowed down all of a sudden. During the trial operation of the Spring Breeze Building, if it is a large-scale investigation, it will inevitably shake people's hearts and make everyone panic. This is a crucial stage in which we must not act rashly, lest we derail the ways of others.

It is imperative to catch the inner ghost, but it is also important for the restaurant to unite as one. So now you can't show a suspicious posture and investigate it, Yue Yao decided to do it privately.

Yue Yao can basically rule out Xu Wei and Yan'er in the kitchen, so there are two fewer suspects. She assigned them tasks, Xu Wei was the head chef, and she got along with other chefs for a long time, so she was responsible for keeping an eye on their movements; Yan'er is in charge of logistics, responsible for the purchase of ingredients and other work, she has some communication with the kitchen to wash the dishes, the procurement of dishes, and other miscellaneous work, she is careful, and it is best for her to watch them.

Since someone was arranged to pay attention to the movements of everyone in the kitchen, Yue Yao also made a set of plans. She didn't know when the next time this ghost would commit a crime, but as long as he was in one day, it was like a time bomb, and it was impossible to guarantee when he would explode on the spot. So, Yue Yao decided to lure him out.

Yue Yao changed the recipe of Coral Pan Dragon Meal and handed it to Xu Wei to help him act in a play.

Coral Pan Dragon Meal is the signature dish of the Spring Breeze Proud Building. Each chef in the restaurant is responsible for a signature dish, and Xu Wei is in charge of this one. This is the best dish sold in the restaurant, Yue Yao thought, that inner ghost must be eager to get this recipe.

During the trial operation, the restaurant had relatively short business hours and closed at the end of the day. Sending off the last table of guests, the restaurant began to put the finishing touches on the daily routine.

Xu Wei observed the rest of the chefs in the past few days and didn't find any problems, Yue Yao thought about it and asked him to stop staring and start acting tonight.

In the kitchen, only Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu were left.

Aunt Liu has only been here for a long time, and she is not very familiar with her work, and she is slow to do things. After Aunt Zhang finished cleaning her area, she said hello to Aunt Liu and went home through the back door.

After a while, someone on the other side of the lobby shouted to the kitchen, "Is there anyone else?" in the lobby, and Aunt Liu immediately swallowed her breath, and then the sound of the lock came after a while, and it seemed that Aunt Liu was left alone in the whole restaurant.

Aunt Liu quietly looked into the lobby and found that it was dark under the cover of night, she turned around and quietly took out a recipe she had just picked up on the stove. She flipped through the pages and found that the first two pages were written about the practice of coral dragon food. She was pleasantly surprised, but also slightly uneasy.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the lobby, and as soon as Aunt Liu hid the recipe in her arms, she saw Xu Wei push open the door and walk in with a look of urgency, he was a little surprised: "Aunt Liu, you haven't left yet?" ”

Aunt Liu smiled kindly and said, "Isn't this a thing that hasn't been done yet?" As he spoke, he buried himself in cleaning up again.

Xu Wei expressed his understanding, nodded to Aunt Liu, and began to rummage through the kitchen to find things.

"What's wrong? Looking for something, what's missing? Aunt Liu asked with concern.

Catch the inner ghost

Xu Wei replied while looking for it: "Recipe." After rummaging through the cupboards, he turned back and said, "I just got home and realized that I didn't bring the recipe back, so I hurried back to find it." The competition in the restaurant is fierce, and if the opponent gets it, it will be terrible, and the owner will definitely fire me. In the end, he thought silently, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he only felt that he had to find it, "Aunt Liu, did you see it when you were cleaning tonight?" ”

Aunt Liu silently clenched the broom in her hand, and her face was also very anxious for Xu Wei: "I didn't see it here." As he spoke, he smiled again, and the fat on his face trembled, "I can't recognize it even if I see it, and I don't know how to read." ”

Xu Wei patted his head and thought about it, and suddenly felt a little annoyed: "I am in a hurry to go to the doctor." I'll look for it at the counter. ”

"Okay. I'll help you find it when I'm done cleaning it. Aunt Liu immediately set off to get busy, and after cleaning up, she began to rummage around.

Aunt Liu carefully touched the recipe in her arms, and the little uneasiness and doubt in her heart gradually faded. Although there is no news inside the restaurant, the signature dishes that are exactly the same as those of Piaoxiangju and Chunfeng Proudly Mansion will definitely be discovered, so the owner will definitely be suspicious.

She asked herself that she was well hidden, so there was nothing to worry about, but what if this was a temptation? Looking at Xu Wei's anxious appearance just now, he couldn't fake it at all, it seemed that he really accidentally fell off.

Then Aunt Liu turned out the small book, books and other bound paper pages to Xu Wei, he shook his head in frustration after reading it, she comforted lamely: "There are still some places in the kitchen that I haven't seen, I'll look for it again." ”

Xu Wei seemed to have determined that the recipe was missing, and said with a bitter face: "The restaurant is so big, but it's almost all searched, and there is still none." ”

Aunt Liu thought to herself, she couldn't take the recipe away, once Xu Wei couldn't find it today and tell the owner tomorrow, then the matter would be a big problem. She looked upstairs and proposed, "Have you looked for it above?" ”
