Chapter 551
"Mapo Tofu!"

Under Chu Yunfeng's questioning, Master Zhu gave an answer that surprised him very much.

"sure?"

Seemingly grasping something key, Chu Yunfeng relaxed his frown and asked again.

"Of course I'm sure. Hu Yue and I have gone there twice. We looked over the menu over and over and took photos. The only dish missing is Mapo Tofu."

An angry look appeared on Guo Kui's face. No matter who was targeted and provoked like this, he was not in a good mood.

"Since you went to eat, tell me how the taste compares to us?"

Chu Yunfeng asked about the most critical point. No matter how favorable your price is or how exquisite your dishes look, the key is still the taste.

"This
You may not believe it, but I am not destroying my own prestige. This taste is indeed better than ours.

But this doesn’t mean that we can’t make that taste. To put it bluntly, it just means that the cost is higher. "

Guo Kui's words made Chu Yunfeng keenly realize that Fujiwara Saburo was demonstrating against the stars regardless of cost. What is the meaning behind this?
"It's true. Their outstanding taste is only due to the high cost of ingredients, and the tableware also costs a lot of money.

It's not that we can't do this, it's just a gimmick. "

Master Zhu couldn't figure out what the other party meant by killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself by a thousand and a half. Did he really think that he could defeat the stars like this?

“The cost of their ingredients will go up by at least two levels, and the selling price will be reduced by [-]%. This is a completely loss-making business.

But now their popularity has been snatched away by them. How about we also try lowering the price? "

The only way Mu Qing can think of now is to lower the price to see if she can bring back the popularity a little bit.

"It's useless. Since they can make such a strategy regardless of the cost, as long as you lower the price here, the other side will immediately lower it, and it may be even worse than you."

Wu Ma was the first to speak out against it. This price reduction is a war of attrition. If the situation is evenly matched, doing so can be a temporary solution.

But now that the opponent has made it clear that he wants to fight you with real swords and guns, it would be unwise to just charge at you like this.

"This trick is too insidious. No matter what we do, we are very passive. We really feel like we have no way to start."

Hu Yue was also very angry. Since Guo Kui and Master Zhu came, the business of this hotel has been booming, and the atmosphere in the back kitchen is completely different from before.

Especially getting along with Guo Kui was very pleasant. When they had nothing to do, they would drink some wine together and listen to Chu Yunfeng's past embarrassing stories. They lived a very comfortable life.

“I think the biggest question is, how do they know how to cook all the dishes in our hotel, including Madam Wu’s signature dishes and Master Zhu’s two specialties?
This is simply too weird, right? "

Chu Yunfeng's thinking was different from everyone else's. How could it be so easy to completely copy all the dishes in a hotel?

It would be fair to say that only a few or a dozen dishes were copied, but this was completely "copied", which is a bit scary.

Especially Wu Ma's signature dishes, which are her master's specialty. Now I think only Wu Ma is the only one who knows how to cook them. How did she learn this?
Even Master Zhu's signature dish of Bai An, which is always on the bottom of the box, was "tragic". This is also Master Zhu's exclusive secret skill, which cannot be learned by people outside the sect.

"That's not clear. Back then, my master passed these specialty dishes to three people: me, Mu Qing's mother, and my senior sister.

Although the senior sister is abroad, it is impossible for these dishes to be spread. "

Wu's mother frowned when she mentioned this. She had been thinking about this before and how the other party learned these dishes.

“My two dishes are secrets that are not passed down within the family, so the master only passed them down to me, and the other brothers are extremely envious.

It's impossible to leak this, and you can't learn these two dishes just by watching them. If you don't know the secrets, making them will be ridiculous.

But not only did the other party do it, but his technique was even better than mine. This is why I have never been able to figure it out. "

Master Zhu discussed this matter with Ma Wu for a long time, but they never had a clue. In the end, Master Zhu even wondered whether he was talking in his sleep or was caused by sleepwalking.

"Since they are all secrets that are not passed on, and the other party can still learn from them, this is the crux of the problem. Then he has exposed a problem."

Chu Yunfeng caught something unusual from various signs, and could only judge it through reverse thinking.

"what is the problem?"

"What did you think of?"

Wu Ma and Master Zhu asked quickly, especially Master Zhu, who seemed very excited and grabbed Chu Yunfeng's hand with great strength without even noticing it.

"The problem probably isn't with you, but with the master's generation. Something happened that you don't know about."

Chu Yunfeng quickly pulled his hand out. Master Zhu's hand was too strong and he couldn't bear it.

"That's impossible. This is our sect's unique secret skill. The master can't pass it on to anyone other than his own disciples. Absolutely not."

Master Zhu immediately rejected Chu Yunfeng's idea. He knew his master very well and there was no possibility of it being leaked.

"I don't know how to do it here either. The master prefers us three female apprentices. He only taught us these dishes and also told us not to teach them to others privately.

Even if it is to be spread externally, it must be done after the three of them have unanimously tested each other's character.

How could the master pass on such strict conditions easily, so the situation you mentioned is simply impossible. "

Wu Ma also refuted Chu Yunfeng's whimsical ideas, but the information she revealed made Chu Yunfeng feel touched.

I was really touched that Wu Ma did not follow such a strict teacher's order, but was willing to teach it directly to me.

It's a pity that I saw how to make it at the time, but because my cooking skills were too low, I didn't learn it. I have to say it's a bit regretful.

There is a certain basis for Chu Yunfeng to have such a judgment.

The president-elect revealed some information to Mr. Li last time, letting him know a little bit about the inside story of that year. Maybe these dishes were leaked back then.

Wu Ma and Master Zhu probably didn't know about this, and their master probably didn't tell them either.

Just when Chu Yunfeng was about to tell Wu Ma and Master Zhu about this incident, Mu Qing suddenly asked: "President Hou, why are you here?"
