Chapter 251: Great Disappointment

Inside the restaurant of the TECO family.

Spacious kitchen.

The original chefs got out of the way one after another, letting Lao Liu swagger in with his group of apprentices.

Anyway, Lao Liu's current style is very much like a chef.

I don't know, I thought it was the executive chef of a five-star hotel.

"Come!" He changed his clothes.

On the side, the apprentice of the natural and organic spirit stepped forward to help him put on the chef's uniform.

"Chef Liu, the menu is here." The owner of TECO's family personally delivered the menu, and then stood at the door full of anticipation, wanting to watch Chef Liu's performance later.

Chef Liu naturally has the idea of showing off to the new owner.

"Come on, give me work." He shouted.

Suddenly, a group of apprentices performed their duties and began to work in all corners of the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, the proprietress of the TECO restaurant also walked over, stood beside the boss, and looked at the busy kitchen together.

"How?" She asked with a smile.

"The people I poached, there can still be mistakes, look at this posture." The boss of the TECO family praised loudly, "And if you look outside, just by poaching the chef team, how many customers have followed." โ€

He was quite proud.

The proprietress thought the same thing, and was very proud.

"By the way, you have to take good care of this Chef Liu, don't be poached by others." The proprietress repeatedly emphasized.

"Don't worry, he is absolutely satisfied with the treatment I gave and the authority." The boss said quite confidently.

Inside the kitchen.

As usual at Haiqin Restaurant, Chef Liu is handy and produces quickly.

How it was done before, how it is still done now.

After a while, the first course came out.

The owner at the door couldn't wait for a long time, so he came in to serve the food in person, and by the way, he experienced the feeling of being praised by the diners later.

It's also a coincidence, this dish happened to be ordered by the guest next door.

"Come on, please slow down." He sent the food with a smile on his face, and he was not in a hurry to leave, ready to wait for the reaction of the guests.

"Okay, it's still the same dish." When the guests waiting for the dishes saw the dishes delivered, they didn't wait to eat them, so they first praised themselves.

After all, it looks like and smells the same as before.

I guess after eating it in your mouth, the taste will not change.

As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks a little impatiently, ready to relive the familiar taste.

Entrance of the dish.

The boss on the side waited expectantly.

However, this guest suddenly frowned, "No! โ€

"Huh?" The boss on the side was caught off guard. "Is there something wrong with the dish?"

"No, no, no." The diner chewed and shook his head repeatedly, his expression quite distressed, "Why don't you feel that way anymore?" โ€

To be honest, they used to love the food there at Haiqin Restaurant.

It's not that the taste of the dishes is delicious, in fact, there are many flaws and deficiencies in each dish, but the difference is that every dish there, when eaten in the mouth, has a familiar intimacy from the depths of memory.

This feeling is enough for them to tolerate the shortcomings of all dishes.

But what about the moment? The dish didn't taste that familiar intimacy, and naturally there were only various flaws left.

Aside from that feeling, this dish is also a mediocre work.

"Are you mistaken, can you try it again?" The boss stood aside and continued to ask tentatively.

The diners didn't believe it either, so they tried to eat a few more chopsticks.

It's disappointing that that feeling is really gone, that intimacy, that familiarity. If the dish they are looking forward to is just this mediocre work, then they would rather not come, rather not eat it.

He had no choice but to finish eating silently, then get up to settle the bill and leave.

The boss looked at the back of the diner full of doubts, and naturally all kinds of doubts swirled in his mind.

Gradually, more dishes were sent out by the kitchen.

After a while, the lobby was suddenly filled with questions one after another.

"What's going on? Does this dish taste wrong? โ€

"It's too salty... And this dish, it's really a failure, are you sure it's really the chef from the Haiqin Restaurant next door? โ€

In fact, the cuisine has never changed.

Just take away the aura of that layer of BUFF, the shortcomings of these dishes are instantly exposed, and the diners who were originally extremely tolerant are finally difficult to tolerate.

All of a sudden, the lobby was filled with this kind of sound.

The boss and the proprietress of the TECO family looked at each other, puzzled.

"Did you just come to our restaurant and have to get familiar with a new environment?"

"I guess it's okay to adapt all at once, and I guess I'll have to give some time."

The two of them discussed in a low voice, and had to give a reluctant explanation first.

As time passed, a sound of loss echoed throughout the hall.

The two of them finally couldn't sit still.

"Chef Liu." Outside the kitchen, the boss of the TECO family beckoned.

"What's wrong?" Lao Liu still looked like a chef, and walked out loud. "You should be quite satisfied with the food, right?"

"It's not." The restaurant owner's face was complicated, "That... You and your apprentices, can you adapt as soon as possible, this outside guest doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the food. โ€

After all, he is a chef who has been recruited with a lot of money, and he is not good at talking about it right away.

Just said it quite tactfully.

"How can it be that you are not satisfied with the food?" Lao Liu's eyes widened slightly, "Mr. Luo, I just came, don't you want to give me eye medicine, right?" โ€

"No, no, no, it doesn't mean that." The boss shook his head and gritted his teeth again, "Forget it, it's okay, you're busy." โ€

"It was supposed to be, what could it be?" Lao Liu was dissatisfied, turned around and walked straight into the kitchen.

In the lobby, the proprietor and lady of the store looked at the dishes on several tables without moving a few chopsticks, and their eyes were a little gloomy.

"No, no, it shouldn't be like this."

"By the way, I'll taste it." The boss looked at a table of dishes that had barely moved, thought about it, and asked for chopsticks, so he went down and tasted them.

The dish just ate it.

Suddenly, a heavy smell of oil came to my mouth.

"How?" The proprietress on the side asked.

"It's really not good, that's the level of a roadside stall." The boss frowned and said, "This Lao Liu, won't he be here to sabotage, right?" At this level, is it completely nonsense! โ€

"Look again, look again, watch and see." The proprietress took a deep breath, "Just like you said, you may not have adapted yet, give some time to get used to it, maybe it will be different?" Right? โ€

"I do, but the guests outside don't." The boss frowned, "Those dishes with a few chopsticks, do you expect people to come back next time?" In terms of the level of that dish, not to mention attracting customers, even our original production is not as good, isn't this smashing our own signboard! โ€

Although their TECO dishes cannot be said to be amazing, they are authentic in taste and have always been famous for their reputation.

But this is the case...

Inexplicably, he was a little uneasy in his heart.

But now, I can only comfort myself with the reason that I still need to adapt.

The two of them stood in the hall, looking out at the diners frowning and eating, and their hearts were beating gongs and drums.

ยทยท

On the other side, the chefs of Haiqin Restaurant are finally in place.

As the chefs dressed in Four Seasons chef suits walk through the lobby and head straight to the back of the kitchen.

The diners in the lobby were all surprised and discussed.

"It's... A chef at Four Seasons? โ€

"What's the origin of the owner of this hotel? Can you bring in a chef from Four Seasons? โ€

In the back kitchen, several Four Seasons chefs stood in a row, wearing white chef hats and uniforms.

"Zhang Dong is good."

"It's been a hard time for you these two days." Zhang Yang nodded with a smile and said a few words of encouragement.

Moments later, in the kitchen, several people took over.

"Chef of the Four Seasons Hotel, where did you find your son?" Zhang Zhaohai walked out with an incredulous face.

The son said that he could arrange for a chef, but he really didn't know where he came from.

Who would have thought that it would be the chef of several five-star hotels that came up directly.

The sign of the Four Seasons Hotel is invincible, okay?

"Dad, don't worry about it, anyway, the people you recruit here will be able to work normally when the time comes, and a few chefs from my side will take over for the time being to ensure that our restaurant is foolproof." Zhang Yang smiled.

After a while, the dishes were presented in an orderly manner and delivered to the various tables in the lobby box.

BUFF and craftsmanship from Four Seasons chefs.

It was as if everyone had enjoyed a feast.

Many of the diners who stayed behind congratulated themselves on their firmness at the critical moment, and at the same time couldn't wait to show off and share with others.

In the Haiqin Restaurant, there is a lot of fun.

Outside the door, the guests who had just left the venue and threw themselves into the TECO restaurant next door were leaving TECO in great disappointment.

"I'm so disappointed, how can it be completely different from what I ate at Haiqin Restaurant, I'm sure it's really the chef from Haiqin Restaurant."

"What about us, boss?"

They returned to the front of Haiqin Restaurant to pick up the car, and suddenly stopped and saw the guests walking out of the door.

The voices of the guests reached their ears one after another.

"It's so delicious, the skills of the chef of the Four Seasons Hotel are really extraordinary, I heard that it was called by the little boss's own relationship."

"It's delicious, it's the same feeling as before, and the dish itself is even more impeccable."

With a satisfied smile on everyone's face, they walked into the distance.

In the same place, the guests who had just walked out of the TECO house looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.

They stood outside the door, looking in through the door.

In the lobby, the crowd was full of people, just as the first store in Haiqin Restaurant was as prosperous as the original.

"What's the situation?"

"The chef is gone, and someone has recruited a batch of better ones?"

"I really shouldn't go."

At this time, most people still have something to do in the afternoon, and their stomachs can't eat for the time being, but there are still a few gourmets who don't stop until they reach their goal, so they simply walk into Haiqin Restaurant again, ready to taste it again.

A few days is fast enough to witness a lot of things.

On the side of Haiqin Restaurant, Zhang Zhaohai's newly recruited chefs are finally in place, and on the good day of the National Day, the Dongyuan Road store of Haiqin Restaurant was also officially opened.

On the opening day, the flower basket was full of flowers, and Zhang Zhaohai's relatives and friends, far and near, who had made friends in the past, and those who had made friends after the development, came to the door to add icing on the cake and cheer for the opening.

The two of them were flushed.

Not only because the second store has officially opened, but also because of the trial opening these days, business is still booming.

After Lao Liu's gang left, the restaurant business was not affected, but became more and more prosperous, and it faintly became the most popular restaurant on Dongyuan Road.

Zhang Zhaohai finally understood that the business of his restaurant was good, not because of individual chefs.

So what is the reason?

Presumably, it may really be blessed by God, and the ancestors have accumulated virtue.

On the other hand, TECO's restaurant is really getting better these days.

Inside the restaurant:

The boss's face was cloudy, and there was a fire in his heart.

These days, he also sees the continued prosperity of the next door, and he is slapping him in the face every day.

"Chef Liu, you may be very busy today, please do your best with these apprentices." The boss walked into the kitchen and spoke.

"Mr. Luo, you haven't seen our performance these days, it's hard enough, right?" Lao Liu said disapprerovitically, "By the way, after this busy time, I have to take a few days off to rest and rest, and these apprentices of mine will be fine for a few days." โ€

"Let's talk about it." The restaurant owner frowned and said.

Hard?

These days, not to mention attracting the guests of the original Haiqin Restaurant, even the old customers on their side are quite opinionated.

Because the dishes in the restaurant are not even up to the previous level, many old customers are quite disappointed, and they don't know how much they have lost these days.

However, he still had a trace of illusion in his heart, and felt that there was time to adapt.

Toward noon, he walked out the door to greet his guests.

By the way, look at the courtyard next door, and your eyes are full of envy.

"Which store on Dongyuan Road can match this kind of business?" He muttered to himself.

I don't know how long it took, a pitch-black Mercedes-Benz S stopped at the door.

He hurriedly put on a smile on his face and greeted him.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, you are here, welcome." He stepped forward with a smile.

The car door in front of him opened, and a middle-aged man with a dignified bearing stepped out of the car, nodded and walked over.

"Lao Luo, it's still the same at noon, the guests I'm going to entertain today are very important, I know that your food has always been my appetite, don't drop the chain for me today." The man said.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, it's definitely on me." The boss of the TECO family patted his chest and reassured.

"Hmm." The man nodded and walked straight into the box.

At noon, TECO's family finally started to get busy.

After all, it is a holiday, and the business must have more bonuses than before, and it is much better.

The store was also quite full.

In the kitchen, it was busy, and from time to time there was the shouting of Chef Liu.

One dish after another, constantly being produced, was delivered to the tables of one guest after another.

"I'll come to this private room." The boss made a special explanation, took the food, and walked straight to one of the boxes.
