This night, Chef Zheng's face turned ugly.

Of the more than 300 squirrel fish he had prepared tonight, there were nearly thirty left.

Although there are occasional cases like this, it is really rare to have so many left at one time.

What he feared came true.

The hot sale of Xiaowan's buns really had a great impact on his dishes.

He knows why.

For those customers who are rich in money and generous, a few dollars and two handfuls of silver will not be taken into their eyes, and they will not give up their favorite squirrel fish because they order Xiaowan buns.

But for those guests who are shy in their pockets, they will have a little consideration when ordering, and since they have ordered the expensive Xiaowan buns, they have to give up the squirrel fish, which is not cheap, and replace it with other cheap dishes.

This is an inevitable result.

Chef Zheng had already expected this.

But that's not what Chef Cheng wants.

When it comes to his money, he can't sit idly by.

But what could he do?

Dong Xiaowan can't afford to offend, after all, she is a celebrity in Qin Lou.

Find a way to get Derpy away?

That's really the way to go!

Chef Zheng has already seen that the reason why Xiaowan buns are selling so well does have a lot to do with Derpy.

He is not only Dong Xiaowan's right-hand man, but even Dong Xiaowan listens to his ideas.

While the steward still regarded him as a new, inconsequential kitchen boy, it shouldn't take much effort to get him away.

However, Chef Zheng also has some scruples, that is, he is a little confused about the relationship between the kitchen manager and Derpy.

For example, tonight, after Derpy finished steaming the buns, he was called away by the kitchen steward.

Thinking of this, Chef Zheng suddenly had a terrible thought.

This Derpy can't be a spy planted by the steward to find out my squirrel fish secret recipe, right?

Quite possibly!

Derpy is already testing today!

Maybe the kitchen manager called Derpy away to ask about the progress!

The more Chef Zheng thought about it, the more scared he became.

He knew that Qin Lou had actually been thinking about his secret recipe for a long time, and even made a proposal to buy the secret recipe with a lot of money.

He knows why.

Because Qin Lou was worried, once he jumped ship and went to another house, Qin Lou would lose this signature dish that could attract guests!

But Chef Zheng is not stupid.

Squirrel fish is his housekeeping skill, as long as this dish is not leaked, then he will not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life, how can he sell the secret recipe to Qin Lou?

......

Chef Zheng thought about it a lot at once.

If Derpy is really a spy sent by Qin Lou, then he has to be careful, this Derpy may not be what he can kick if he wants!

But anyway, you have to think of a way, don't you?

Why don't you bypass the kitchen steward and test Mother Wu?

Chef Zheng quickly made up his mind.

At this time, Ivan didn't know that because of the series of accidents caused by his arrival in Qin Tower, someone began to make trouble for him.

Back to reality, he still has some trouble.

He found that in the process of brushing copies, his mobile phone and WeChat were almost blown up by Li Xiangling.

"Ivan, you have a long face, you should leave me behind, do you really not want to deal with me?"

"If you give a happy word, if you want to divide it, just say it, I will fulfill you!"

"???Don't pretend to be asleep!!"

......

"Ivan, you didn't even answer my phone, do you want to be angry with me?"

......

"Ivan, I'm really disappointed in you!!"

......

Ivan looked at the missed calls again, and there were more than a dozen.

This woman is crazy and even calls in the middle of the night!

He looked at the time, and the WeChat bombardment basically started in the early hours of the morning, followed by phone calls, and then WeChat, and lasted until more than one o'clock in the morning.

It's a pity that he was already on a mission by then.

In order to avoid harassing his neighbors, he also deliberately put his mobile phone on silent.

Now he's a little confused.

Since Li Xiangling actually looks down on herself in her bones, what does she mean now?

If you want to break up, just say it, why do you have to say so much and make so many calls?

Could it be that you really treat me as a chicken rib, and it's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless?

Alas, a headache!

Ivan was a little at a loss for what to do with the relationship.

To be honest, as long as Li Xiangling is a little more serious about the relationship between the two, he has the urge to marry her.

Even if the two disagree on many aspects.

Ivan knew that for a poor worker like him, who had no house or car, a good love could only be a luxury, let alone an ideal marriage.

That's how cruel society is.

Speaking of which, Li Xiangling's conditions are really not bad, in terms of education, appearance, figure, work, and income, they can all be regarded as middle and upper-level, except for the average family background, Ivan is not picky in all other aspects.

It's a pity that she didn't have the idea of marrying him at all.

In that case, is it necessary to spend any longer?

Alas, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Forget it, don't think about it yet.

For Ivan, the important thing now is the task.

He still has a lot of work to do in order to complete the task.

The first is the beating of Dong Xiaowan and the mandarin ducks.

This is likely to be a very crucial part of the mission to save the celebrity chef, and failure in this link may lead to all his efforts being in vain.

According to Dong Xiaowan's meaning, he was ready to arrange a meeting between him and Mao Xiang.

This side is not easy to touch.

The other party is one of the four great talents in the late Ming Dynasty, whether it is family background or knowledge, it is far from being comparable to him, if the preparation is not done sufficiently, he may not only return in vain, but also may be humiliated.

You'll have to take the time to do some more research.

It is not only about the adventure, but also about the culinary skills.

After many failed experiments, Ivan has realized that he was lucky enough to try out a first-class crystal shrimp dumpling today, and it was definitely a dog shit luck.

It can only be said that he has barely figured out a correct path in the study of culinary arts, but it is not enough to become a master chef.

The biggest disadvantage lies in his accumulation of culinary knowledge, such as the mastery of ingredient knowledge, the matching skills between different ingredients, the handling and cooking skills of different ingredients, etc.

In this regard, he is not even a starter.

He once again called up his rank profile:

【Host Chef Level Details】

Ingredient Knowledge: Beginner (19/100)

Knife Level: Beginner (39/100)

Cooking Technique: Beginner (8/100)

Culinary Knowledge: Beginner (12/100)

Looking at the poor knowledge of ingredients and cooking techniques, Ivan knew that his path to mastery still had a long way to go, and what he had to do now was to sink down solidly and use various channels to slowly make up for his shortcomings.

And now all he can use is the Internet.

With a sigh, he turned on his computer again, ready to use the rest of the night to make up for it.
