Although the waiter's tone was flattering, his words were not very pleasant and even sounded decisive.
Duan Kuo didn't even need to ask Zhao Huanyu about his wishes, he just waved his hand and said: "No, the competition will be in three days. What's the point of a competition at this time?"
He had a sullen face when he spoke and looked very unhappy.
The waiter was a little afraid of him, but thinking of his boss's instructions, he still said: "Master Duan, my boss said that as long as this girl is willing to give it a try, this meal will belong to our restaurant."
"Heh, you mean that this young master can't afford these few taels of money for food?"
Duan Kuo slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table and said coldly: "Let your shopkeeper come to see me!"
Zhao Huanyu had just arrived, and he was already tired from traveling in the car. He had planned to go to the inn to sleep after eating, but who knew that this restaurant was in such a hurry that he rushed to see him.
The waiter quickly went to find the shopkeeper. Knowing that Duan Kuo was angry, the shopkeeper was a little scared, but he still said responsibly: "Don't be angry, Mr. Duan. I just want to know about this girl's cooking skills. Our family
Everyone has eaten at the restaurant, especially this girl who has just eaten my food and knows something about my cook, but we don’t know her at all, so for the sake of fairness, I would like to ask Mr. Duan to show your respect!"
According to the shopkeeper, their request seems not excessive.
Duan Kuo hid his secrets quite deeply. The owner of Zuixian Restaurant in the county town has always been a mysterious existence, so everyone didn't know who made the new dishes constantly introduced in the restaurant, and naturally they would not think of Zhao Huanyu.
On the body.
Because of this, they knew nothing about Zhao Huanyu.
Ever since they learned about this gourmet food competition, many people have been secretly watching Duan Kuo's whereabouts. Duan Kuo did not deliberately hide the fact that Zhao Huanyu was the cook, so he checked it out for sure.
When they first knew that the other party was just a little girl, everyone was disdainful, but they also felt that to be appreciated by Duan Kuo, she must not be an ordinary person. After thinking about it, they decided to find someone to compete with to see their strength first.
.
Of course, the reason why they suddenly cared so much about the cook Duan Kuo hired was because of Duan Kuo's sudden decision to take charge of the family.
The second generation ancestor, who used to be a street person who only knew how to eat, drink, have fun, play with cats and walk dogs, suddenly took over the family business and became a joke in the eyes of everyone.
Yes, it's a joke. They feel that Duan Kuo is definitely a loser. Within a month, the Duan family's business will definitely have major problems.
But what is unexpected is that after Duan Kuo took over his family's business, in just a few days, he changed the people in each shop and even posted notices explaining what the replaced people had done.
, was not fired without reason.
At this moment, everyone couldn't sit still. They didn't expect Duan Kuo to have such ability. For a moment, no one dared to underestimate Duan Kuo.
Furthermore, I don’t dare to underestimate the female cook Zhao Huanyu who allows Duan Kuo to come and pick her up in person.
Duan Kuo finally looked at Zhao Huanyu and asked her opinion: "What do you think?"
"I can do either," Zhao Huanyu continued casually, "But I just came here and I'm very tired. Let's compete tomorrow, anytime."
Duan Kuo looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Do you have any comments?"
"No no!"
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, as long as they agreed to test the waters, he had no objection at all.
"Okay, let's do it at noon tomorrow."
Duan Kuo waved his hand and sent the shopkeeper away.
Duan Kuo originally wanted to ask Zhao Huanyu what she planned to do tomorrow, but he felt that she would definitely not tell him, so he stopped thinking.
After dinner, send Zhao Huanyu to the inn to sleep.
Originally, Duan Kuo wanted to take the man home directly, but Zhao Huanyu was unwilling. Thinking of the three women in his family made him upset, so it was better not to cause bad luck.
Zhao Huanyu had a good sleep in the inn. When she woke up, she felt refreshed and went for a walk on the street.
When she came to see Duan Hong before, Duan Kuo took her around. She was quite familiar with the county, and she arrived at a grain store with ease.
After careful selection, she bought a bag of Hui Hui beans (also known as peas today).
After returning to the inn, she borrowed someone else's grindstone and started working in the backyard of the inn. In order to avoid anyone damaging it, after grinding and filtering, she put it in a basin and brought it to her room to use in the competition tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Duan Kuo sent a boy to pick her up and take her to the inn where she stayed yesterday. She quickly brought the starch she had made.
When they arrived at the inn, Zhao Huanyu looked at the large group of men in front of her and her eyes widened.
Are there so many chefs in this restaurant going to compete?
Seeing Duan Kuo sitting not far away, she hurriedly ran over and asked, "What's going on?"
"What else could it be? As long as you want to compete with the chef from Hongming Restaurant, the chefs from other restaurants don't want to miss this opportunity, so let's come together."
Duan Kuo sneered, thinking that these people were really interesting. They had an idea on his head but they didn't inform him in advance. He was feeling angry.
Zhao Huanyu didn't expect that the opponent would be so unreasonable. What's the difference between this and an early game?
Just as he was talking, the shopkeeper of Hongming Restaurant came again, this time his face turned into a rotten chrysanthemum smile, even more flattering than yesterday: "Master Duan, Miss Zhao, the cooks from other restaurants also want to compete with the girl, Xiao
The person made the decision and agreed. But don’t worry, Miss Zhao, you only need to cook one dish for everyone to see, no need to add any vegetables!"
The shopkeeper must have received benefits from other restaurants, otherwise how could he be so kind?
Duan Kuo was really angry this time. He looked at the shopkeeper of Hongminglou with a half-smile and said, "Okay, you can be my master as long as you want. Who are you, this young master?"
This Hongming Building is not his family's business, and he has no friendship with the shopkeeper. This person makes decisions without permission and is so confident. I really don't trust him.
Only then did the shopkeeper think that he had made Duan Kuo unhappy. He originally thought that it would not hinder Zhao Huanyu in any way, it was just a matter of adding a few more cooks, and they would not have any objections, so he accepted the money sent by other restaurants.
Unexpectedly, he got into trouble with himself.
"Master Duan, you are the one who makes your own decisions. Otherwise, will you let them go back?"
After reacting, the shopkeeper immediately expressed his sincerity, but what he didn't know was that not everyone could give him a second chance.
"late."
Duan Kuo stood up and walked out. Zhao Huanyu and Wu Gui both followed. The shopkeeper chased him out and said, "Mr. Duan, with so many people watching, does the girl next to you not want to compete or does she not dare to compete?"
The shopkeeper wanted to break the jar and use aggressive tactics against them.
