Chapter 1250 Huge Risk

At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the lobby of the Star Hotel. What was very distinctive was that most of them were an old man accompanied by one or two young people.

Moreover, these young people were somewhat respectful to the old men, standing straight behind them and not speaking.

But these old men and some middle-aged people gathered together and started discussing with each other. Many people frowned, and many shook their heads and sighed.

The voice of their discussion was not too low, it was louder than normal speech, so some passing guests could hear clearly.

"Old Zhao, why don't we just go up there? There are so many people, is it possible that they can keep us out?"

The speaker's name is Jin Dazhong. He has a loud voice. He is over 60 years old and his hair is still very dark. He maintains it well. He is also the head of a top Sichuan restaurant. He specializes in private Sichuan cuisine and is quite popular in Chengdu. Have a reputation.

The person called Lao Zhao is Zhao Youde, who still has some prestige in the Sichuan cuisine world. He is older than Jin Dazhong, already in his 70s, and his hair is obviously much whiter.

However, Zhao Youde has many disciples, many of whom are working as chefs in five-star hotels, and many even open their own shops outside. His industry status is naturally much higher than that of Jin Dazhong.

After hearing Jin Dazhong's words, Zhao Youde pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, everyone heard the other party clearly rejecting it on the phone just now.

It would be a bit rude for us to rush over here so rashly. If we go up together like this, it will leave a very bad impression on the other party.

And now that he has disturbed other people's banquets, let alone talking about things, it will probably be difficult for them to meet him in the future! "

Mr. Zhao's words immediately won the approval of many people, but there were also some people who shook their heads. It was obvious that these people were very impatient.

"Mr. Zhao, you don't know something. You have also seen the photos posted in this circle of friends. There are three dishes in them that were my master's specialty dishes back then. It is a pity that they were not passed down.

It was not easy to see this again, and it instantly ignited my dream for many years, allowing me to comfort my master's spirit in heaven. Where can I find such an opportunity? "

This anxious looking person is close to 50 years old. I don't know if it's because of his fatness. The reflection of the hall from the top of his head is relatively strong.

His words were quickly rebutted by a nodding person next to him: "I mean, Old Tang? Your words are a bit too high-sounding, right?

If you haven't learned the skills from your master, how can you expect others to teach you so easily?
That's your excuse. If I were Master Chu, I would definitely ignore you. What age are we in now? Can such an excuse still deceive people?

You obviously want to steal from me. After you learn these three dishes, your restaurant business will be better, right? "

After Tang Tianming was criticized, he obviously felt a little uncomfortable. This clearly exposed his true inner thoughts, but naturally he would not admit it.

"Fuck you, am I that unbearable?
These dishes are the essence of our Sichuan cuisine back then. As chefs of Sichuan cuisine, we must make our own contribution to the development of the industry.

There is such a good promotion opportunity now, isn't that the purpose of your coming here? "

Seeing Tang Tianming making jokes, it was obvious that he was secretly changing the concept, which made Master Cheng Qiansong, who had just criticized him, show more disdain on his lips.

Dang even retorted directly: "I'm different from you. I'm here to visit sincerely. I'm not as radical as you. Don't you want to rush in right now?"

If this offends the other party, and if it causes us to suffer together, then don't blame me for speaking harshly. "

"You are the one who is radical. I will not be as reckless as you. Just do it directly."

Tang Tianming's face was obviously a little red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or just offended. He looked a little angry.

However, the quarrel between the two people was immediately interrupted by Zhao Youde: "Okay, stop arguing. We came here to discuss with Master Chu. What are we doing in such a noisy manner? This will make people think that we are not only disrespectful. , and very uneducated!"

Zhao Laode was highly respected, so his words were naturally able to calm down the situation, which made Tang Tianming and Cheng Qiansong immediately roll their eyes at each other and stop talking.

But it’s not a problem to just wait like this. Naturally, someone made a suggestion: “Mr. Zhao, it’s not a problem to just wait like this?

And now the other party’s attitude is unclear, and we don’t know if he is willing to cooperate with us? "

"Yes, yes, according to the estimates in the photos in this circle of friends, the other party must be able to cook more than these dishes. If the other party can cook all the dishes we know, how can we continue to discuss this cooperation?"

"That's right. We can only take advantage of this juncture when the other party has not yet restored a large number of dishes and negotiate the terms of exchange for the dishes. Otherwise, we might not have a chance in the future?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I think too. We only have a few signature dishes that we are good at. If we can exchange a few of them, it would be a profit. It's better than not being able to exchange even one, right?"

As soon as this topic was brought up, it immediately made everyone present feel uneasy, and everyone basically had the same opinion, that is, to exchange food for food.

He exchanged his own specialty dishes for dishes that Chu Yunfeng didn't know how to cook. According to everyone's predictions, Chu Yunfeng would most likely agree.

After all, they are all people who have been in the culinary industry for so many years. Who doesn’t have one or two top-notch dishes?

If you really don’t have one or two unique skills, how can you gain a foothold in the culinary industry and continue to maintain the restaurant?

So everyone is very confident, and they all rush over after hearing the wind. There are not many opportunities like this. It depends on who can talk to Chu Yunfeng first, then the benefits will be the greatest.

But what everyone didn't expect was that so many people came at once. Basically everyone knew each other, and many of them were industry celebrities, which made it much more difficult.

Everyone present naturally has Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts. What if Chu Yunfeng doesn't have many dishes on hand and all of them are divided up by some top masters?
So they are naturally restraining each other at this moment. Otherwise, according to the current situation, if there were few people, they would have already touched each other. How could they still be waiting here in the hall?
It doesn't matter if you wait, more and more people are coming.

Chefs from Tiantian Restaurant, Craftsmanship Ancient Sichuan Cuisine, Qingjiang Garden, Qilin Hotel, Shudu Restaurant, Image Restaurant, Furong Restaurant, Bashu Hotel, Jincui Tianxiang and other hotels are in place.

These are among the best Sichuan restaurants in Chengdu, and among the chefs who are arriving one after another, they are basically the first and second chefs in the back kitchen.

These are the mainstays of the restaurant, and many people didn't even have time to change into their chef uniforms when they came over. Some even had chef hats on their heads, which shows how anxious they were to rush here.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, you are really very fast. Is your sense of smell better than a dog's nose?"

The speaker was another more prestigious master in Sichuan cuisine, Fan Zhendong!

As a chef who has been retired for more than 40 years, he was bored at home, so he returned to the kitchen and continued to accept his disciples.

There were three young people following him, and they were obviously restless.

Zhao Youde didn't seem to be angry at all when he was greeted in such a special way. He immediately replied with a smile: "I think your nose seems to be about the same. It's just that your legs and feet are a little different. You usually eat more pig's trotters to make up for it." Just make up for it!”

After exchanging words, the two of them started to laugh, which made the masters who followed them also purse their lips and nod and laugh.

"What's the situation now? What's the attitude of the other party?"

Since so many people have come here smelling the fishy smell, everyone's purpose has actually been made public, and no one will be stupid enough to ask you why you are here.

And Zhao Youde didn't need to answer Fan Zhendong's words, so naturally the people next to him started complaining.

"The situation upstairs is not clear yet. I called the people above just now, but no one answered the phone!"

"Not only did they not answer the phone, but someone also turned off their mobile phones. I don't know what the situation is at this scene."

"We've been staying here in the lobby since we came, and now that the other party doesn't speak, it's hard for us to go up!"

The current situation is like this. It doesn't seem to be good, and it makes people who come later feel a little uneasy.

"Why don't we send a representative up first to have a look?

I am most familiar with Xingchen and have eaten here several times. How about I go up and ask everyone? "

Fan Zhendong's words didn't sound like much at first, but many people at the scene immediately showed disdain. This old guy is really thick-skinned.

Jin Dazhong was naturally the first to object, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hey, Mr. Fan, I didn't expect you to be so kind?
However, we appreciate this kindness. Out of respect for the seniors, and in order to prevent a respected person like you from running errands, let me do this little thing for you, okay? "

puff~!

Jin Dazhong's sharp words immediately made the people gathered unable to bear it any longer, and many people couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that Jin Dazhong directly pointed out his plan, and even scolded him calmly, there were no curse words in these words, making it difficult for him to refute, so he could only pour his resentment into his stomach. swallow.

This bastard, let himself lose such a big face in front of everyone, the key is that everyone is deadlocked here now, can't find a breakthrough?
Mr. Zhao also shook his head helplessly and said: "Everyone, please wait for a moment. If you rush up, you may offend the other party, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

After the banquet is over, we can go there together. It will definitely be better! "

I have no choice but to wait here. Otherwise, is there any other better way?
In the hall at this time, there were not only people from the culinary field, but also several reporters. These were all invited by the cultural celebrities in the banquet hall.

Compared with these chefs in the Sichuan cuisine world, it is even more difficult for reporters to go upstairs directly. Everyone knows that Chu Yunfeng has refused to be interviewed during this period. It is difficult to catch up with him, let alone know his specific whereabouts. .

When I first received the news, I was almost too excited to go for a ten-kilometer run down the street, but soon I became depressed. The other person on the phone said that the other party didn't agree and told me to wait.

Normally, no one would come to surround Chu Yunfeng around Xingchen because they were afraid that if they pissed him off, they would be blacklisted by him. Then it would be even harder to pay attention to news about him in the future.

I originally planned to go up with these people in the cooking world, but they are not stupid and are afraid of being too rash, so I can only wait here for the opportunity.

However, no one would be stupid enough to share this precious interview opportunity with colleagues. Fortunately, the people in the culinary industry seemed not to be familiar with the reporters, and no one called them.

There were only three or five reporters present, and everyone was patiently waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime moment. They were just frustrated that the banquet upstairs could not be finished.
After receiving the message, Mu Qing told Chu Yunfeng about the situation in the hall and reminded him that more and more people would come later, which naturally made Chu Yunfeng shake his head.

"It's pretty much what I expected, but I told Bell just now that we'll evacuate soon and take a flight to Sanya tonight without delaying the wedding photos tomorrow and the day after.

If we really stay here, it might be delayed for a few days. Our wedding will probably be affected by then, but we can't let this disrupt our plans! "

Not only the wedding, but also the opening of the museum. On the second day of the opening, Chu Yunfeng was going to the capital to participate in the national team training. Everything was very busy.

But Mu Qing said worriedly: "What about this matter downstairs?
They were able to catch up so quickly. This request must not be that simple. It's not a problem to hide all the time, right?
And this also involves the subsequent development of Sichuan cuisine, don’t you have any ideas? "

Chu Yunfeng understood the hidden meaning of Mu Qing's words. Chu Yunfeng could also roughly guess the purpose of the people downstairs who came so quickly. They must want to exchange dishes.

If he agrees, his future status in the industry will definitely be unparalleled. After a long time, it is not impossible to become the leader of the entire industry.

But there are also great potential risks here, that is, people are greedy, and exchanging dishes will bring great hidden dangers and troubles.

Everyone's understanding of dishes will be different. In the other person's mind, his or her dish is exquisite and invincible. Is it okay to exchange this dish for two or even three dishes?

What's more, it's not impossible to directly propose to exchange five things. If you don't agree to this, you may be regarded as aloof by the other party, and even talk about yourself behind your back and speak ill of yourself.

Even after the exchange, the other party would complain that he had suffered a loss, and then maintained this view and attitude for many years, and would talk about it to everyone.

All these things combined will definitely have the opposite effect on your reputation, and it is possible that you will eventually become a bad person on the street.

So as long as you are not stupid, you will definitely not agree to the demands of these people!

Besides, with more than a month of recovery experience, can these old Sichuan dishes still be able to recover on their own?

The only key is time, but do you lack time?
Since you can do it yourself, why would you take such a big risk to cooperate with these people?

Among the people currently staying in the Star Hotel, there is only one person who can make me want to cooperate, and that is Wan Lao!
It just depends on what Mr. Li wants. After the banquet is over, there will be results naturally.

So in response to Mu Qing's question, Chu Yunfeng replied with a smile: "Am I that stupid?"

puff~!

Mu Qing immediately covered her mouth and laughed. Since Chu Yunfeng had seen through the risks involved, there was no need to remind him anymore.

The two of them pushed the small car carrying the wedding invitation and slowly walked into the hall. As soon as they entered, they saw all the eyes in the hall staring at them.
