Chapter 169 Chef Xu is confident again
"Master Xu, please feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know."

Chef Xu was very satisfied with Sha Zhu's attitude, "There is a chef named Wang in your courtyard, right?"

"Master Wang?"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then he realized, "You are talking about Wang Jianye, right?"

Chef Xu nodded and asked knowingly, "You are all from the same courtyard, so you should be familiar with each other, right?"

"Of course, I have a good relationship with Brother Wang."

Sha Zhu was showing off his relationship with Wang Jianye, feeling very proud of it.

"This is great."

Chef Xu pretended to be very happy because he had already found out all this before looking for Sha Zhu. Otherwise, why would he invite Sha Zhu to work in Cuihua Building?

"Recently I heard that Fengze Garden has a very talented chef named Wang, I think his name is Wang Jianye. Although he is very talented, in Fengze Garden, which is full of experts, his cooking skills are definitely not the best, and his status is definitely not the highest.

There is an old saying that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. No matter how talented Master Wang is, he still has to look at other people's faces in Fengze Garden. But when he came to our Cuihua Building, I am willing to give him my position as the head chef. From now on, he will be the boss in the kitchen of our Cuihua Building and no longer have to look at other people's faces...

And Master He, you also know the situation of our Cuihualou. It is a big restaurant that is the top of Shandong cuisine in the whole city. Fengzeyuan is slightly better than us, but the gap is not big. If Master Wang is willing to come to our Fengzeyuan, I believe that with his talent, he will definitely lead us to a higher level, and it is just a matter of time before we surpass Fengzeyuan!"

Chef Xu explained clearly why he wanted to recruit Wang Jianye, and then continued, "So, Master He, I would like to ask you to persuade Master Wang when you go back. We at Cuihua Restaurant sincerely want to hire him. As long as he comes, I will give him the position of head chef. I will keep my word!
And as long as Master Wang is persuaded by you and comes to our Cuihualou, our boss will give Master He a big red envelope, definitely not less than fifty yuan! Master He, what do you think?"

"I...I'll go back and tell them, but I'm not sure if Brother Wang is willing to come."

Shazhu scratched his head.

As long as he doesn't come into contact with Qin Huairu, his brain will be very sharp.

Hearing what Chef Xu said, he suddenly understood why Manager Zhang of Cuihualou had personally invited him to work in Cuihualou. It turned out that he was not impressed by his cooking skills, but had other purposes. Shazhu was immediately disappointed.

After work.

Sha Zhu did not go back to Nanluoguxiang directly, but came to the courtyard house at No. 11 Qianmen, Wang Jianye's new house.

When he entered the gate of the courtyard, he happened to meet Cai Quanwu who had just got off work. When he saw his expressionless face, which was exactly the same as his father He Daqing's, Sha Zhu's fists felt itchy.

"Brother Cai."

Sha Zhu greeted him awkwardly. He just wanted to fight with the other party.

But in the end, he still held back. It was definitely not because he was cowardly or couldn't beat the other person.

But he realized that this was not Baocheng, and this man was not his father He Daqing.

"Hey, you are that someone... He Yuzhu, right?"

Cai Quanwu recognized him. Not long ago, this kid came to the courtyard and when he saw him, he immediately identified himself as his father He Daqing and wanted to fight him. However, he was naturally no match for this weakling and was completely subdued by him.

"Yes, it's me. Brother Cai, do you know that my brother Wang is back from get off work?"

"I saw him back." Cai Quanwu nodded.

Sha Zhu thanked him, then walked through the gate and came to the door of Wang Jianye's house.

Tuk-tuk-tuk~
After knocking on the door a few times, Wang Jianye opened the door and saw that the person coming was Sha Zhu. He was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

After entering the house, Sha Zhu told Wang Jianye in detail what Chef Xu of Cuihua Tower had asked him to do.

"Oh, I see. You are here to lobby for them." Hearing Wang Jianye's words, Sha Zhu said quickly, "Brother Wang, I don't mean that. I came to you just to tell you about this. It's up to you whether you go or not."

"Of course, I don't recommend you to go there, Brother Wang. After all, the people in Cuihua Tower are very calculating. In order to make me their lobbyist, a manager specially invited me to work there and gave me such good treatment. I know myself well and I don't deserve it at all." Sha Zhu added.

"Is that so? Then I'll ask you to reply to my message. I'm doing well in Fengze Garden and have no plans to move to Cuihualou. Even if I'm the head chef, it's useless."

Wang Jianye shook his head.

"Got it, Brother Wang. I'll tell them about this when I get to Cuihua Tower tomorrow."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Wang Jianye with envy, "Brother Wang, you are really amazing now. You are just a second-class chef, but Cuihualou would rather give you the head chef in order to poach you. In all these years in our Forty-Nine City, when has there ever been such a thing?"

Wang Jianye smiled but said nothing.

It seems that this kid Shazhu doesn’t know that I have become the head chef, and this news has not spread out yet.

However, Wang Jianye had no intention of telling Sha Zhu, so he decided to keep it a secret as long as possible.

Otherwise, Sha Zhu might not be able to keep the secret, and would tell everyone else when he returned to the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang.

……

Cuihua Tower.

"Master Xu, ever since Fengze Garden came out with fried double crispy food that's even better than what we make at Cuihualou the day before yesterday, a lot of our business has been taken away. We've obviously made less money in the past few days... What can you do now?"

When Manager Zhang knew that Chef Xu had arrived, he came over and asked anxiously.

Some time ago, Cuihualou launched a dish of deep-fried double crispy food, but Fengzeyuan couldn’t make this dish, so it attracted a group of customers to Cuihualou to try this dish.

But the day before yesterday, Fengzeyuan also made this fried double crispy dish, and it tasted even better than Cuihualou's.

Now, the guests who were attracted here before were attracted back to Fengze Garden.

This made Manager Zhang happy for only two days, but he became sad again.

"I went to see my master whenever I had time this month. I learned a dish from him. It was a dish that my master had spent more than five years pondering and researching. He finally created it and taught it to me, his apprentice. Only my master and I know how to make it in this world."

Chef Xu shook off the frustration he had felt in the past few days and became very confident.

Manager Zhang saw this and asked hurriedly, "How does this dish taste?"

"I'll make it for you to try and you'll know."

Soon, Chef Xu prepared the dish.

Manager Zhang looked at the good appearance and couldn't wait to taste it. His eyes lit up immediately, "Master Xu, your dish is really delicious!"

Chef Xu said as a matter of course, "Of course, after all, this dish was created by my master after more than five years of research. It must be delicious."

His master was a state banquet chef, so his cooking level was naturally very high. In addition, he had more than 50 years of cooking experience and was extremely experienced, so he created a delicious dish in his later years.

"So if Master Xu and your master know how to make this dish, then if our Cuihua Restaurant lists this dish as a signature dish, they at Fengze Garden will definitely not be able to make it!"

Manager Zhang was very happy after he understood the situation. Now Cuihualou could continue to compete with Fengzeyuan.

Chef Xu was full of confidence, "I don't believe that Fengzeyuan can learn this dish!"
