The Imperial Concubine Chef - C128
could understand why someone had sent a challenge to the chef in the tavern. After Su Xinyu was dressed, he left the room. Hu Ya was ready. Upon seeing the young master, he hurriedly asked, “Young master, do you know what’s going on?”
Su Xinyu shook his head: “I just woke up, what do I know? However, this is quite strange. You didn’t give Master Sun a written challenge, and now you actually want to compete with me? ”
Hu Ya said in disdain, “They were courting death. Young master, your culinary skills are even better than Master Sun! ”
Su Xinyu laughed: “Bullsh * t. My craftsmanship is indeed not bad, but Master Sun is clearly better. The bad breath has got to be fixed.
The two of them went to the side hall in the front courtyard. Seeing that the person who came was the building’s waiter, Hu Ya asked first: “What written challenge did you get this early in the morning?”
When he saw the little mister and his boss, he quickly bowed and said, “Boss, Grandpa Hu, a letter fell out of the door just as I was unloading the door plate. I can’t read, so I went to ask Master Mu. Master Mu said this is a written challenge and asked me to come over quickly and report a letter to you. They said that the time on stage was rather tight. ” As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his bosom.
Hu Ya took the envelope and handed it over to Su Xinyu. Su Xinyu opened her eyes, her eyebrows raised slightly, but there was no worry, and instead a smile. “Hu Ya was confused. Young master, what’s the situation? Don’t laugh. I’m dying of anxiety here. ”
Su Xinyu handed the letter over. See for yourself. ”
Even after reading, Hu Ya was not as magnanimous as Su Xinyu. This was going too far! How can you still laugh! ”
Su Xinyu really did not care. You won’t let him die? Of course I’m happy to talk so much about our opportunity to advertise. Gain some money. Go back and tell Master Sun that they don’t need to worry. I won’t be going to the store today. Hu Zi, in a while, follow me. I will have Uncle Fu support your account for one day. “In a while, you will follow me to the Leisure Manor.”
Hu Ya was very anxious, “Young Master, what right do you have to go to their place! This is clearly a trap for you! Do they blame us for our food when their own business is not good? “I’ve heard it all. This Leisure Manor’s boss has already told people about us before. One look and I can tell that he has no good intentions!”
Su Xinyu said calmly, “He naturally has no good intentions. But this does not affect us to make good use of it. Don’t worry. Just listen to me later. ”
After hearing what the young master said, Hu Ya did not say anything else. After all, the one who made the decision was his master.
After getting the money, he quickly went back, and Su Wenlan came over. Just now, Auntie Yun had already reported the matter to her, so she naturally had to worry about his daughter. “Come over and ask, Su Xinyu did not conceal anything. It was a written challenge from the owner of the Leisure Manor. However, it did not say what the competition was. I’ll check it out in the morning. You don’t have to worry about this, Mother. It was just a competition of culinary arts. You should be confident of that. What’s more, they could send a written challenge, which meant that they wouldn’t use underhanded methods right now. And I appreciate that they didn’t ask anyone to write a book after they opened the store, nor did they intend to publicly influence the business. As for his unwillingness to accept this, there was naturally a reason for it. I’ll go and convince him. ”
Su Wenlan’s brows were still locked together, “Even though you said that, why would the other party do things that they aren’t prepared for? Let’s not talk about winning or losing first. There must be a bottom line to what kind of chips we have. ”
Su Xinyu nodded: “Yes. It was natural. This Yuxiang Restaurant is the basis for us to settle down, and no one can let me throw caution to the wind. ”
This Leisure Manor was one of the big restaurants in the Haian City. The owner’s surname was Wu, and the shopkeeper’s surname was Li. It couldn’t be said that he was number one within the Haian City, or at least his family could be considered one of the top three. Speaking of which, Leisure Manor was not the closest to the Yuxiang Restaurant. The Yuxiang Restaurant was on the east side of the street while the Leisure Manor was on the west. The Central Street was extremely large, and was the most bustling place in the entire coastal city. It would take at least two hours to walk in a straight line between the two restaurants. No matter how fragrant the food on Yuxiang Restaurant was, it would not drift that far away. Furthermore, the Leisure Manor was an old name, Su Xinyu did not believe that his own business would affect it too much.
But it was not realistic to say that it didn’t affect him at all. The restaurant’s business was different from other restaurants. If he ate in his house today, he would not eat in another house. It was the only choice for a particular meal. Therefore, the competition was indeed fierce. But there was no reason to purposefully stop doing business for the sake of not wanting to compete. And who wouldn’t want to do the best in business? Su Xinyu had never planned to do such a low-key business in the first place. It was inevitable that she would go overboard if she made a lot of money, so she could understand their feelings and actions.
Without affecting her mood for breakfast, Su Xinyu took Hu Ya directly to the Leisure Manor after she had eaten his fill.
The Leisure Manor had also opened the door early today. Everyone looked outside nervously. Yesterday, they sent a written challenge in the middle of the night, and they didn’t know if their Yuxiang Restaurant’s owner would be able to come. Although they did not feel that they were in the wrong, to the shop assistant, it was still better to avoid trouble.
Su Xinyu had also grown a little now, but she was not even 1.5 metres tall. Hu Ya, on the other hand, was already close to 1.7 meters, and did not appear to be much shorter in front of this group of people. The key was that Su Xinyu’s aura was not low. In her previous life, she had been born with a good upbringing, and he had graduated from a famous university. After graduation, she helped her family manage a famous private restaurant. Naturally, there would be more experiences than others to help her calm down. This is also why, over the years, no matter who she was dealing with, no matter if she was a girl or an old girl, or if she showed up as a man or a woman, they didn’t treat her like a child.
“I am Su Xinyu, and am here to meet your boss.” Politeness, Su Xinyu had to be there. Regardless of how unreasonable or whether the other party was provoking her, she would not allow her weakness to fall into her hands.
Upon seeing that it really was the little boss of the Yuxiang Restaurant, the laborer from the Leisurely Pavilion hurriedly went back to report to Manager Li. Manager Li was already in the shop, when he heard Su Xinyu, he immediately came out to welcome him. Little Boss Su! My great pleasure to meet you all at once, please do so at once! ”
Su Xinyu smiled and nodded: “I presume it is Manager Li? This junior pays his respects to you. ”
There was a saying that it was hard to hit a smiling person with a punch, not to mention that they were provoking him online, while he accepted the challenge later. He was even able to call himself a junior with a calm heart and a smile.
The two of them entered the restaurant. The restaurant was not open for business, so there were no customers. The two of them sat in the main hall and chatted.
Su Xinyu did not speak first, but smiled and drank a mouthful of the tea that the waiter brought over. She was somewhat gratified with the taste of the tea.
Seeing that Su Xinyu did not say anything after she entered, Manager Li had no choice but to explain himself. “Little Boss Su, I invited you over this time. I was thinking that our Haian City hasn’t had any excitement in a long time, so I decided to organize a culinary competition with the other restaurants. That’s why I wanted to invite Little Boss Su to come over for a discussion.”
These words were completely different from what was written on the written challenge. “But Su Xinyu did not point it out.” Oh? What kind of competition was this? What’s the bargaining chip? ”
“This Manager Li can’t say for himself.” This matter would have to wait for the other bosses to gather together before they could discuss it. I’m just a grocer. I can’t make decisions about these things. My boss will arrive very soon. I’ll have to trouble Little Boss Su to wait for a moment. ”
When Boss Wu arrived, a second cup of tea was already placed in front of Su Xinyu. Seeing Su Xinyu, Wu Li frowned slightly. He had previously inquired about the background of the Yuxiang Restaurant. He knew that the owner was a twelve-year-old child. Furthermore, it was said that the child’s cooking skills were outstanding. The shop’s secret recipes that were overflowing with fragrance were all from the hands of the child, the chef. But he didn’t think so. Even if Su Family were not controlled by an adult male, for an orphan widow to suddenly set up a stall and open such a big restaurant, she definitely had to have some sort of backing. Thus, in the “declaration of war”, he invited the boss of Yuxiang Restaurant. Furthermore, the name Su Xinyu was not written on it. But in reality, he thought, or perhaps, he wanted to draw attention to who the real owner of this business, Su Family, was. After all, they had the reputation of idling around in the village and were definitely not easy to deal with. The person behind that should not let a child step in.
However, the result was beyond his expectations. “Is it that the person behind the scenes is unwilling to reveal himself and let this child have his way? Or is this really the child’s own ability?” “Boss Su is truly young.”
This Boss Wu was actually young as well. Here, men did not necessarily need to have beards, but there were some who valued him, and this was the case for this Boss Wu. “In the end, you can still tell that you are not older than thirty years old due to the proper maintenance.” Compared to Uncle Wu, this little nephew doesn’t dare be worthy of this praise. ”
“…” When Boss Wu heard this, he knew that this little baby was not easy to mess with. “His name is Qian He, but he won’t allow it.” I believe Manager Li has already told you the reason why I invited you here. ”
Su Xinyu nodded: “Indeed. However, this nephew really wants to know how this competition will be conducted. I hope Uncle Wu can enlighten me. ”
“I don’t dare to say anything. He just wanted to get Boss Su to come over to discuss it. Even though your Yuxiang Restaurant is a new shop, in a short period of time, it has already been made known to everyone. Therefore, this culinary competition naturally can’t miss your share. Including you and me, there are six other restaurants that are participating at the same time. Each of the eight restaurants is producing two chefs.
Su Xinyu was still smiling: “Then, what do you want to compete for?”
The Boss Wu answered directly: “We eight families can discuss this together. But I have an idea of my own. ”
Su Xinyu nodded: “Go ahead.”
Boss Wu squinted his eyes: “I heard that Boss Su is also a top tier craftsman, I wonder if you would be interested in going up on stage for a try?”
Su Xinyu agreed at that time, but the way he responded was a little different, “If every boss wants to compete with the master, then this junior naturally cannot decline. It wasn’t good for everyone to stretch out their hands, but for this nephew to shrink back at such a young age, that didn’t make sense. “Don’t worry Uncle Wu, although this nephew is still young, I still need some face.” The meaning behind his words was that if both of you are not going up yet let a child like me go up, then that would be too shameless.
