Chapter 1242 I won't tell you

"I understand, but what he said about the banquet is on your side."

There was no need to hide it from Mr. Li. Chu Yunfeng didn't know if Mr. Li wanted to mention this matter at this time, so he just lightly dropped the topic.

And since the meaning of what Old Li said just now is obvious, he must have come here to deal with this matter. This has already shown his attitude, otherwise why would he come here?
Hearing Chu Yunfeng's curious tone, Mr. Li chuckled and said, "I knew you couldn't help but ask, I guess you have guessed a little bit now.

Then I will give you a rough outline so that you can have some idea. "

hiss~!

Chu Yunfeng had never found that his curiosity was as strong as now, but Mu Qing had already packed it up and poked her arm with her finger, indicating that she could pass.

However, when Chu Yunfeng raised his hand with a slightly serious expression and asked Mu Qing to wait a moment, Mu Qing became extremely curious.

What happened, how could Chu Yunfeng, who was usually calm, change his appearance?

"You say!"

You can't talk nonsense at this time, just wait for the old man to clear up your doubts!

Mr. Li sighed slightly on the other end of the phone, and then he could roughly hear him taking a sip of tea, and then he slowly said: "Before you talk about this, please tell me what Mr. Wan told me. your?

Did he say how many Man-Han banquet dishes he would have on hand? "

???

Didn't you agree to clear up the doubts first? Are you a bit ungrateful in martial arts?

After much discussion, Chu Yunfeng also knew that this call would not be completed in a short while, so he turned around and walked into Mu Qing's office and sat directly on the sofa.

Mu Qing frowned and sat down as well, continuing to stare curiously at Chu Yunfeng who was on the phone.

"There are 36 dishes in total, but he is not alone, there are several other seniors, they have a total of 36 dishes!"

Chu Yunfeng did not doubt that he was there, and directly told him what Wan Lao told him, but he immediately heard "Bah" from Lao Li.

what's the situation?
Before Chu Yunfeng could react, Mr. Li immediately began to scorn fiercely: "Don't listen to that old man Wan's nonsense, how could they only know 36 dishes, so they can just fool you.

Hum~!This is also the reason why I left him alone in the first place, trying to play sloppy with me, he is not qualified enough for old man Wan! "

A crescent shape suddenly appeared at the corner of Chu Yunfeng's mouth. Emotions are all human essence. It seems that he was too shocked by this incident just now and did not think about it deeply.

"How many dishes do you know here?

Wan Lao said that what he learned is that the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet has more than [-] dishes. Is this true or false? "

There was a rare opportunity for verification, and Chu Yunfeng would definitely not let it go. As soon as he asked this question, Mu Qing, who was sitting next to him, immediately opened his mouth and stared at him in disbelief with his eyes wide open. he.

Full Manchu?

Chengdu version?

Isn't this a joke?
Mu Qing is very aware of the size of the four words "Manchu and Han Banquet". In today's catering industry, as long as there is a gimmick that is inherited, it can attract a large number of diners to come and check in.

And if there really is a Chengdu version of this Manchu-Han banquet, you can imagine what kind of craze it will cause once it is launched?
"real or fake?"

Mu Qing also pointed to the mobile phone and Chu Yunfeng and asked softly, while Chu Yunfeng made a gesture to ask her to wait and listened carefully to Mr. Li's answer.

"Haha, this old man Wan's news is quite accurate. There were indeed more than [-] dishes back then, but unfortunately not so many have been handed down.

I’ll tell you the details when I get to the hotel! "

hiss~!

No, when Chu Yunfeng heard this, he knew that Mr. Li was going to hang up the phone right away. This old man was also a master with no martial ethics. What about Wan Lao just now?

Are you embarrassed to be so appetizing?

"No, Mr. Li, this."

Before Chu Yunfeng could continue to ask, the sound of "beep, beep, beep" came from the phone.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly?"

Seeing the depressed look on Chu Yunfeng's face after the call was hung up, Mu Qing quickly pushed him with her elbow. The pregnant woman was at least many times more curious than usual.

He knew that this woman would ask questions, so Chu Yunfeng told her everything that happened before, leaving Mu Qing stunned.

"Oh my god, isn't this incredible?

I have never heard that there is a Chengdu version of this Manchu-Han banquet?

So according to Mr. Li, Wan Lao and the others must have more than 36 dishes on hand, and they must be ready to bargain with you and Mr. Li.

Didn't Wan Lao also say that there are a total of 108 recorded dishes in the Man-Han Banquet. Excluding those whose ingredients are insured and some lost ones, they should probably be able to cook half of the dishes.

It's just that they don't know how many steps Mr. Li will do, so according to their guess, it should be about half, which should be about 40 steps.

That’s why I don’t dare to say too much about the dishes I can cook, lest I feel passive when talking about cooperation, so these 36 dishes are a very appropriate number.

If the price is less, if Mr. Li has more dishes, he may not be willing to cooperate. Is this strategy of asking for advice really appropriate? "

Mu Qing's analysis was so clear and concise that Chu Yunfeng suddenly became enlightened. Just now, his mind was still a little lost, and his cerebral cortex could not stop being excited.

This also caused me to be a little unable to think properly about the series of words Wan Lao just said. Are there many details hidden in them?
"There should be no problem with your analysis. It seems that Wan Lao is really prepared this time. After Li Lao arrives, the two of them will definitely have some testing."

Chu Yunfeng gave Mu Qing a thumbs up, and she immediately covered her mouth and started laughing. It seemed that Chef Chu was not calm sometimes, which was rare.

"Then how many dishes do you think Mr. Li can cook?"

This question is the key, so Mu Qing asked Chu Yunfeng curiously, wondering if he could guess it?
After all, the one who knows Mr. Li best is Chu Yunfeng.

But Chu Yunfeng shook his head and said: "I don't know, I think there are probably more than a dozen dishes, and the rest of the dishes should be able to be restored.

I guess there are thirty or forty dishes, right? "

Although it is now understood that although Mr. Li was still young at that time, his talent was not limited. Since Master Lan did not avoid him when cooking, he must be able to learn a few dishes.

I just don’t know if Mr. Li has remembered the rest of the dishes after seeing them, or if he has left notes or something. That would be a big surprise.

After hearing Chu Yunfeng's uncertain words, Mu Qing could not tell what the final outcome of the matter would be, but she could only know the final details after Mr. Li arrived.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet Wan Lao, and get to know his disciple, Zhao Tianhao. This is a very good young man. Wanjia cuisine should be able to flourish in his hands."

Chu Yunfeng spoke highly of Zhao Tianhao, which also surprised Mu Qing. After all, Chu Yunfeng generally didn't like others to speak highly of him.

And he even gave the words "carry forward", which meant that he was very optimistic about Zhao Tianhao's cooking skills, which also made Mu Qing a little curious.

"Okay, then let's get to know him and see if he is as good as you said?

By the way, did you say hello to the kitchen? You have to send some snacks, right? "

Seeing that Mu Qing was a little suspicious of her state today, Chu Yunfeng immediately stretched out his hand and started to scratch the itch: "I told you before, it's just right to go there now."

The most unbearable thing was the itching. Mu Qing immediately began to beg for mercy: "Okay, okay, I just mentioned it casually. I know that you, Chef Chu, are the best!"

After quickly slapping away the extended hand, Mu Qing took Chu Yunfeng's hand and started walking towards the private room.

"Who is here? You two have to entertain yourself?"

The dining cart that Guo Kui pushed over was just in time, and he happened to see the two of them walking towards each other affectionately, which made his curiosity begin to explode.

"How about the head of Wanjia Cuisine in the capital and his disciples? Do you want to meet them?"

After saying that, Chu Yunfeng pulled Guo Kui and prepared to walk in together. At this moment, Guo Kui quickly pushed his hand away and immediately took two steps back.

"Wanjiacai? That old man Wan?"

Forget it, forget it, I still have some dishes to finish in the kitchen, so hurry up. The next few dishes are still waiting for you to come back to cook, so hurry up? "

Guo Kui backed away as he spoke, as if there was a big terror in front of him, running away very fast.

Seeing Guo Kui running away, Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing both laughed. If this was just a young chef, Guo Kui would definitely follow.

But once there are people like old men around, Guo Kui and Hu Yue don't like to get involved, because they know that these old men have many rules and like to "give lessons" to young people.

Often it goes on forever and makes people uncomfortable, so naturally they don't like to participate in such occasions.

Except for Mr. Li, because he will not say a word to you at all. It is not easy for you to watch him cook his dishes. This is also an important reason why Guo Kui and Hu Yue like Mr. Li.

After opening the door, she saw Wan Lao and Zhao Tianhao sitting there drinking tea and talking in a low voice. Mu Qing immediately smiled and said: "Hello Wan Lao!
You came here without saying anything in advance so that I could prepare some special snacks of our hotel for you. Please don't mind if the hospitality is not good enough? "

Facing Mu Qing, Wan Lao also showed a very friendly scene: "Haha, I have long heard that Xingchen has a very capable female manager, and it turned out to be the case today when I saw it. This little Chu is so lucky!"

After placing the snacks from the dining cart on the table, Mu Qing immediately replied: "You always give me awards, isn't this your favorite student Tianhao?

I heard Chu Yunfeng say that his talent is very good, and he got your true inheritance, so he will be able to stand alone in the future! "

Hearing Mu Qing praise him so much, and also knowing his evaluation from Chu Yunfeng, Zhao Tianhao became a little shy: "Uh~! Not bad, not bad!"

The next step was to continue the pleasantries, but Chu Yunfeng, the chef, still had a lot of things to do, so he asked Wan Lao and Zhao Tianhao to rest here for a while, and he would inform them during the dinner.

Zhao Tianhao, on the other hand, was a little anxious. Didn't his master just ask Chu Yunfeng to ask Mr. Li's opinion?
Why don't you mention it now?
"Brother Chu, this is Mr. Li."

Seeing Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing stand up, Zhao Tianhao couldn't wait to ask more questions, but as soon as he mentioned it, he was immediately interrupted by Wan Lao.

After sighing secretly in his heart, Wan Lao said with a smile: "Okay, then we'll see you at the dinner!"

After Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing walked out of the private room, Wan Lao's smiling face immediately disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression.

"Who asked you to interrupt?"

This harsh attitude made Zhao Tianhao feel very unnatural. Did he make any mistake just now?
Can’t Mr. Li’s answer be asked?

Seeing that although Zhao Tianhao lowered his head, his face showed dissatisfaction, which made Wan Lao even more angry: "I didn't even ask you what you have to ask?

Since Chu Yunfeng didn't say anything, does it mean that the other party was waiting for me to ask?
The most feared thing in this negotiation is that one party is anxious. As long as one party is anxious, the other party will definitely take advantage of it. This is a taboo when negotiating important contracts. Do you understand? "

"I, I'm just that." Zhao Tianhao felt a little wronged, but Wan Lao continued and sighed again.

"You, you are still too young, learn more, see how calm Chu Yunfeng is, you are still far behind him!"

After all, he is his most beloved disciple, and Wan Lao is reluctant to scold him too much, just to let him learn.

Zhao Tianhao did not dare to reply, but said silently in his heart: "Do you still need to say this? What level is Brother Chu now? Can I catch up?"

After returning to the kitchen, as soon as he walked in, he saw Wu Ma and Master Zhu waiting for him at the door.

Chu Yunfeng immediately understood something, and it was probably the result of Guo's big mouth propaganda again!

Sure enough, Wu Ma immediately asked: "Is the head of Wanjia Cuisine here?"

Master Zhu also asked curiously: "Wan Lao?"

"Yes, it's Wan Lao. Do you know him?"

What Chu Yunfeng didn't expect was that Wu Ma and Master Zhu would be interested in Wan Lao, so he immediately asked back.

Wu Ma immediately replied: "I don't know, but Wanjia Cuisine was quite famous back then. It was also one of the best private restaurants in the capital."

Master Zhu asked with a hint of suspicion: "Didn't you only invite Zhao Tianhao? Why did Wan Lao come with you?"

Good guy, it turns out that I smelled the "smell", and I also know that Wan Lao is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface. These are all human essences!

Indeed, how can people like Wan Lao and Li Lao run around on weekdays?
And if they can appear in the same place, it will definitely have a special meaning. It is estimated that only people like Wu Ma and Master Zhu can be so well-connected.

Chu Yunfeng didn't dare to neglect these two curious babies, so he leaned his head over and prepared to tell them in a low voice.

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's appearance, the two of them immediately knew that there must be something important, so they quickly lowered their heads.

"Have you ever heard of the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han Banquet?"

Chu Yunfeng suppressed a smile in his heart and prepared to leave after saying this, leaving Wu Ma and Master Zhu curious for a while.

Sure enough, Master Zhu suddenly raised his head, stared at Chu Yunfeng in shock, and then shook his head, making Chu Yunfeng chuckle secretly in his heart.

He was about to appreciate the wonderful expression on Wu Ma's face, but to Chu Yunfeng's surprise, she replied calmly: "I've heard of it, what's the matter?"

hiss~!

This time it was Chu Yunfeng's turn to be dumbfounded and curious, and immediately asked with a confused tone: "Have you heard of it? Where did you hear it?"

What Chu Yunfeng didn't expect was that his appetite would be whetted by Wu's mother, because she turned around and left, leaving a critical message: "I won't tell you."
