Chapter 2141: Poaching ideas

The red and s.h.i.+ny sea cuc.u.mber slices looked appetizing. Not only the color, but the angle of the curves was almost the same. Those with OCD would definitely feel good looking at them. It was definitely not a coincidence that they were bent in the same direction, leader Zhao thought.
“This head chef Yuan really has an obsessive-compulsive disorder.” However, as leader Zhao had a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, it was really comfortable to look at.
Leader Zhao subconsciously lowered his movements. He only picked up a piece of sea cuc.u.mber and put it into his mouth.
It had a soft and sticky texture and was a little chewy when he bit into it. With the sound of “ka Chi, ka Chi”, and the rich juice inside after biting it, along with the rich taste of the sea, the rich meat, and the umami of the seafood, it was extremely delicious.
Leader Zhao nodded as he ate. It was obviously to his taste. His hands didn’t stop moving and launched a full attack on the sea cuc.u.mbers.
Gao Fei watched for a while and found that the sea cuc.u.mbers were gradually decreasing. He swallowed his saliva secretly. This was the only inconvenience of eating with the leader and Wu Hai. The former was hard to s.n.a.t.c.h, while the latter was hard to s.n.a.t.c.h.
Gao Fei had ordered two dishes today, the Yalang Bagua chicken and the beef pilaf. They were the specialties of two different ethnic groups, one of the ancient Yi and the other of the Dai.
As soon as he lowered his head, he smelled a very special scent, like the fragrance of weeds mixed with soil, making him feel like he was in nature.
Following the smell, he saw a very distinctive color of the beef salad. It was a light green bowl. The food inside was emerald green, but there were also bits of yellow in it. However, the yellow seemed to have faded and looked a little dry.
“As expected of boss Yuan. The taste alone is so authentic. This bitter taste seems to be even more authentic than the one made by head chef Yan Shan. I wonder how it tastes?” Gao Fei stared at Niu Salian.
The head chef Yan Shan He was talking about was a chef of the Dai people, and they had met by chance. The two of them had once had an exchange. He had made a dish of braised sea cuc.u.mber with scallions for the other party, and the other party had made him this beef sauté.
When he first ate it, to be honest, even though Gao Fei could be considered a famous chef, he almost couldn’t bring himself to eat it when he smelled it. He tried it in the spirit of a chef, only to realize that it was just like someone’s first time eating a durian. He really felt that it was good the moment he ate it.
At the very least, Gao Fei felt that the beef fillet was pretty good. Head chef Yan Shan’s beef fillet was also very tasty and left a deep impression on him.
Suppressing the scattered thoughts in his mind, Gao Fei picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful, putting it directly into his mouth. An overwhelming taste immediately rushed down his throat, and after the extremely bitter and spicy taste swept through his throat, the storm continued to sweep through his stomach.
Just now, he had felt a little frustrated because he couldn’t eat swallows in the sea. Now that he had a spoonful of beef, he suddenly felt refreshed, just like the advertis.e.m.e.nt slogan “heart-penetrating coldness, heart flying.”
“As expected, the taste has improved. Even the bitter water’s processing seems to be very brilliant. I can’t think of how it was processed for the time being.” Gao Fei could not figure out anything even after carefully examining it.
There wasn’t a lot of bull salamander, just one bowl. Although it was a big bowl of three taels, it couldn’t withstand Gao Fei’s fast hand speed and was quickly finished.
After finis.h.i.+ng the beef, he naturally turned his eyes to the remaining dishes.
“How come it’s different from head chef Kosen ‘s?” Gao Fei had indeed never eaten it before, but he had seen Kosen do it once during an exchange.
His eyes stopped on the nightw.a.n.g Eight Trigram chicken. In fact, this dish was quite simple. The dish itself was to cut the chicken into eight pieces and look at the trigrams of the chicken head, chicken wings, and chicken feet.
This dish had already been lost in the Yi people. Now, the only thing that appeared was to remove the chicken head, wings, and legs and stew the chicken. That was how Kosen cooked it.
However, Yuan Zhou’s cooking method was obviously different. Nevertheless, Gao Fei subconsciously felt that this was the most authentic one. Urged by the fragrance, he didn’t have time to think about it. One word was to eat!
In fact, when everyone had etiquette, most people were willing to follow it. Just like master chef Restaurant, there were only some small whispers at most. It was not as noisy as other restaurants, but it was more quiet.
This was also the reason why public etiquette was maintained by everyone. In front of real food, it was relatively quiet.
However, their manner of eating was a little … As soon as the good food was served, everyone couldn’t wait to stuff it into their mouths immediately. The old customer even had to be alert of Wu Hai beside him.
Now that he had the furry bear, the only benefit was that he didn’t have to worry about the crow beasts evolving and s.n.a.t.c.hing food.
“Isn’t this portion too little?” Leader Zhao’s chopsticks missed, and the plate that was as clean as new showed that the food had been finished.
Leader Zhao didn’t even miss the scallions that were stir-fried in sea cuc.u.mbers. He ate them one bite at a time and felt very refreshed.
“It’s indeed a little too little. I feel like it’s gone after not eating much. ” Secretary Fang agreed in a low voice.
The main thing was that he didn’t feel full at all. The only difference from before was that there were two more empty plates.
“Actually, it’s not a small amount. It’s just that head chef Yuan’s dishes are too delicious. The portion in my restaurant can’t be compared to this.” Gao Fei wanted to say that it was too little, but his conscience wouldn’t allow it.
“It’s indeed delicious. Unfortunately, it seems that we have to change our plan completely. There’s only one head chef Yuan, so we can’t cut him in half.” Leader Zhao looked at the empty spot again and said.
Before he came, leader Zhao was really smug. He just wanted to learn from his experience and then go back to increase the GDP of Lu province. There was Taoxi road in Chengdu. In the future, when talking about Lu province, there might be Lixi road or guaxi road.
Unfortunately, his dream was beautiful, but reality was cruel. But then again, could he poach head chef Yuan to Lu province?
He heard that boss Yuan was alone, and then … The more leader Zhao thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible.
“What do you think are the chances of inviting head chef Yuan to open a restaurant in Lu province?” Leader Zhao suddenly asked.
“Cough, cough, cough …” Gao Fei, who was drinking water, almost choked from the shock. Even Secretary Fang almost lost his balance.
“Leader, I think that regardless of whether head chef Yuan agrees to it or not, we might not be able to leave Chengdu.” Secretary Fang purposely said in a low voice.
Which family had such a precious treasure that they couldn’t take a good look at? how could the Chengdu government let the chicken that laid golden eggs be taken away? if someone wanted to steal someone’s daughter, they would definitely break the hoe.
“Let’s think about it carefully. ” Leader Zhao continued to ponder.
“Are you guys full?” Leader Zhao asked.
Gao Fei and Secretary Fang touched their empty stomachs at the same time, a little embarra.s.sed to speak. They had to be more reserved when their leader was treating them.
Leader Zhao saw their actions and knew what they meant. He said directly,”Since we’re already here, we have to eat our fill. Let’s each order one more dish and rice. We should be full.”
Even though his heart ached, leader Zhao couldn’t possibly let the people who followed him out not eat their fill. If he himself wasn’t full, Gao Fei and Secretary Fang would definitely not be full either since they were younger.
Upon hearing leader Zhao’s words, Gao Fei and Secretary Fang’s eyes lit up and they said in unison,””Thank you, leader.”
Leader Zhao waved his hand and beckoned for su Ruoyan to come over. Everyone chose a dish and ordered it. As for the rice, they could only order egg fried rice to make do.
After the meal, although he didn’t feel full, he was still 80 – 90% full. After the meal, leader Zhao looked regretfully at Yuan Zhou leaving with his people and also made some s.p.a.ce for others. After all, there were still many people in the line.
