Chapter 373 Hostility
Yongnian Building, kitchen.

Everyone is working, but everyone is distracted.

Even the air was impetuous and the atmosphere was particularly weird.

Someone suddenly shouted excitedly:
"They were scolded!"

After blurting out the words, he became aware of the atmosphere around him and instantly became depressed.

The oldest man sitting on the chair against the wall is Song Lin, the head chef of the Yongnianlou branch, who is in charge of the entire kitchen.

Song Lin's name sounds elegant, but he has never been a good-tempered person. All his disciples have been scolded.

But now, he said nothing, just puffed on his cigarette in the corner and sighed sadly.

Seeing that he didn't get angry, the other chefs and apprentices couldn't help but whisper:

"Are we really going to do a variety show? Why do we have to do all this fancy stuff in our nice restaurant?"

"I saw netizens say they were worried about damaging our reputation. I'm worried too, haha."

"It was a spur of the moment decision."

"Didn't the Master protest?"

"What do you think?"

"We can't keep going like this. The restaurant is filled with smoke and foul smells!"

"..."

In fact, the more established and famous a restaurant is, the higher the status of the chef.

After all, what can support a restaurant in the long run is nothing else but the taste itself.

The chef is the one who controls the taste.

So generally speaking, the chef sitting at the position of head chef has no fear at all when talking to the manager who manages the entire branch, and he is on equal footing with him.

If the matter of filming a variety show had been brought up by someone else in the store, Song Lin would have started scolding him a long time ago. With his mouth, he could have scolded that person to death!

However, this decision was not made by manager Wang Yong alone, but by Wang De, the top person in charge of the entire Yongnian Building.

Song Lin didn't dare to say a word to Wang De.

Who made Wang De the eldest son of Master Song Lin and also the senior brother from whom Song Lin started learning cooking?

Song Lin started to be an apprentice when he was a teenager. Forty years have passed. Song Lin can be said to be taught by Wang De and he has never dared to disobey him.

"...That's enough! What are you arguing about? The sky isn't falling! Just keep doing your work!"

After Song Lin finished scolding, he put his hands behind his back and walked out of the kitchen.

In the face of his majesty, the chefs below shrank their heads like quails and dared not refute.

When he left, even louder discussions broke out:

"Master must be very unhappy!"

"Master is also struggling. After all, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the boss. It is because our Yongnianlou has not been doing well in business recently."

"Yes, there are so many new restaurants in Yanjing City now, including internet celebrity restaurants and molecular cuisine restaurants. There are so many new things to try! Our restaurant always uses the same old recipes. How can we keep eating there?"

"That's right. Last time, a customer asked me if we had any new dishes recently, saying that he was tired of the old ones."

"Not only are they tired of eating, but some old customers also say that our dishes don't taste as good as before. Could it be that the recipe..."

"Hum! Keep your voice down! Are you tired of living and dare to mention that recipe in the store?"

"Ohhhh, I'll shut up!"

"..."

As the head chef, Song Lin is well aware of the restlessness of his subordinates.

Chef is a traditional industry, and Yongnianlou has always adhered to tradition. They are not very accepting of internet celebrities, variety show shootings and the like.

The current situation is there, if we don't change it, we will be washed away by the tide of the times. ... Song Lin understands all these principles.

But it didn't stop him from feeling depressed.

Because what he saw was not only a small filming, but also the fact that Yongnian Building was in a difficult situation and was struggling to get off the ground.

If that person hadn't left... Ugh! What was he thinking! How could he still be obsessed with a traitor?

Song Lin shook his head, trying to get rid of the messy memories from his mind.

When he lowered his head, he happened to meet a pair of deep, dark eyes downstairs.

Eyes that look familiar.
-
"Zhizhi, what are you looking at?"

Fu Chao walked towards Nanzhi.

Nanzhi shook her head and said it was nothing, then looked away as if nothing had happened.

At this time, they had just been led into Yongnian Building through the back door by Manager Wang Yong.

Why not go through the front door?

Because it is still early, there are still customers dining in the restaurant and have not left.

If all of them, such a huge group of people, came in, they would definitely attract a lot of attention.

It would be even more troublesome if some minor disturbance was caused by recognizing their identities.

Therefore, considering many aspects, it is better to go through the back door and visit areas that guests cannot reach.

Yongnian Building, which occupies an antique building on a popular street in Yanjing, has a huge interior space.

It has three floors in total, which appear to be connected by old wooden stairs, but there is actually an elevator hidden deep in the corridor. It is a combination of new technology and retro structure.

Currently, the first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are private rooms.

The kitchen in Yongnian Building is extremely large and occupies more than one floor, but is distributed on the third floor.

The kitchen is divided into hot dish area, cold dish area and pastry area, and there is even a special area for food processing. It can be said to be very professional.

Wang Yong stood outside the kitchen and introduced everyone, but did not invite Nanzhi and the others in.

He said, "The kitchen is the most important part of our Yongnian Building. Except for the chefs and waiters who are responsible for serving the dishes, other employees are not allowed to enter. So we won't go in for a visit for now. You can take a look after we finish get off work in the evening or before we start work tomorrow morning. This is a special treatment I give you! No other employees have it! Oh, by the way, avoid the head chef in the kitchen..."

"Avoid who?"

A vicissitudes of life voice suddenly came from the stairs.

Nanzhi and other guests looked towards the person who came.

The other party was Song Lin.

He was wearing a white chef's uniform and a tall hat. His skin was dark and wrinkled, and his mouth was tightly pursed. You could tell at a glance that he was not an easy person to get along with.

Nanzhi and others, who were originally talking and laughing, suddenly became quiet.

Even the children clung to the adults' legs, a little afraid of the new grandpa.

The only difference was that Nan Yi was standing in a different place, in front of Nan Zhi.

It seemed as if it was ready to rush out to protect Nanzhi at any time.

Song Lin happened to catch a glimpse of Nan Yi, and his expression became dazed for a moment, as if he saw some memory from the past...

"Master Song, why are you here?"

Although Wang Yong is a manager, he still respects Song Lin.

Wang Yong is Wang De’s nephew, and Wang De is Song Lin’s senior brother.

Considering the seniority, Song Lin is also Wang Yong's elder, so he has to be respectful.

Song Lin came back to his senses, snorted indifferently, and then looked at Nanzhi and others:
"Manager Wang, won't you introduce me to him?"

Wang Yong laughed dryly and thought to himself that it was troublesome.
