Chapter 1181: Request for battle
When Zheng You said this, everyone present, including the two guild leaders, agreed.
There were other young chefs who said humorously,""Head chef Zheng's words are reasonable. Otherwise, he would be like the People's Congress representative, who represented us chefs for no reason."
"You can't call yourself the God of Cooking so easily." One of the men with a short beard nodded and said.
"Indeed. I don't think head chef Yuan knows anything about the cuisines of your province. How can he be called the master chef?"
"Head chef Yuan is young and vigorous. Maybe he just didn't think about it. He can just change it."
"He's indeed a little younger. I heard that he's only twenty-five this year."
"A 25-year-old master chef is indeed young, hahaha."
Everyone began to speak one after another.
Most of the chefs had some opinions about the name of the restaurant chosen by Yuan Zhou. However, they didn't have any opinions about Yuan Zhou himself. After all, people were more tolerant of people with real skills.
However, they all thought that Yuan Zhou should change the name of the restaurant. Hearing such a compliment, a smile appeared on Zheng You's face. Then, he raised his head to look at Deng Xuan and Lin Yun and said again,""Guild leaders, what does elder Liu think?"
"Who asked you to be so F * cking arrogant? you have to change the name of the store that was just hung up. Let's see if you can still be arrogant." Zheng You was smiling, but he was cursing in his heart.
The expression on Zheng You's face was very certain that the two guild leaders and Liu Xi would stand up for him, so he looked at the three of them with great confidence.
Actually, what he thought was true. However, just as Deng Xuan was about to speak, he was interrupted by Liu Xi.
Liu Xi furrowed his brows, and the wrinkles on his face bulged. He immediately said,""How do you know that head chef Yuan Zhou doesn't know much about the cuisines of your province?"
"You've seen it before?" Liu Xi asked again without waiting for Zheng You to speak.
Zheng You's heart skipped a beat, but he continued without changing his expression.""The menu of head chef Yuan's restaurant can be found on the internet. I've looked through it carefully. There are indeed no dishes from your province on the menu."
"And not a single one." Zheng You said with certainty.
"You're quite free. " Liu Xi said in a composed manner.
Liu Xi was experienced and knew what Zheng You was trying to do. However, he was not in the mood to cooperate.
After all, he was famous for cherishing talents. Although he was not a chef of his own cuisine, he had such great skills at such a young age. It was not bad to cherish them a little.
As such, Liu Xi had the intention of suppressing Zheng You. At the same time, he was also reminding the two guild leaders not to stand out.
"As a chef, I'm always eager to know other people's signature dishes. I hope I can learn more skills." Zheng You took advantage of the situation and did not seem to have heard Liu Xi's words. Instead, he boasted.
Hearing Zheng You's words, Liu Xi did not say anything more, but he frowned. After all, if he said too much, he was afraid that the young chef sitting there would have an opinion. After all, he was an old chef in your province.
On the other hand, Deng Xuan and Lin Yun were deep in thought and had no intention of speaking.
"I heard that head chef Yuan is also a very strict person. Only the dishes that he is good at and confident in will appear on his menu. Now that his menu doesn't have the dishes from your province, I can't say that he doesn't know how to cook them. It should be that they are not as good as Sichuan cuisine." When Zheng You said this, he turned his head and looked at all the chefs present.
"I've also heard of this rule. " The man with the short beard nodded in affirmation.
"That's right, but I heard that there was a seafood Alliance that challenged him last time. Head chef Yuan defeated dozens of restaurants in one go." Someone said hesitantly.
"How can those shrimp soldiers and crab generals be called a challenge? I can beat them down with one hand." A chef immediately said disdainfully.
"You don't know the inside story. I heard that the seafood Alliance is blocking head chef Yuan's business, so head chef Yuan accepted their challenge. Otherwise, how could they have the qualifications to challenge head chef Yuan?"
"But we can't be careless." The conservative faction shook their heads.
Seeing that everyone was almost done with their discussion, Zheng You stood up again and spoke with a gentle expression.
"Everyone, we're not here to compete with head chef Yuan. We're just giving him a kind reminder. The relationship between the three provinces has always been good, so we can't hurt it." Zheng You said with a smile.
"What are you guys thinking? we're just reminding you that the shop sign is wrong. We're not going to compete in cooking skills." The man with the short beard said in a bad mood.
"Haha, you're thinking too much."
"It's good to remind you. Head chef Zheng is right. Our relationship with Yun province has always been good. "
Hearing Zheng You's words, even the Conservatives smiled and nodded in agreement.
Yuan Zhou was now equivalent to a strategic weapon. Even if he didn't do anything, he couldn't be ignored and was even attached great importance to.
"I wonder what the two guild leaders think." Zheng You turned to look at Deng Xuan and Lin Yun.
This time, Zheng You avoided Liu Xi and did not ask him. After all, his attitude just now had made it clear.
"We shouldn't be the ones to remind them. After all, Zhang Yan from Sichuan cuisine is in Chengdu, and our Chairman, Chairman Zhou, is also in Chengdu." Deng Xuan started to smooth things over.
Originally, he would always stay in the capital. But ever since Zhou Shijie discovered Yuan Zhou's restaurant, he had been staying in his office in Chengdu and doing most of the work.
"Yes, I am." Lin Yun nodded.
"We're suspected of overstepping our boundaries. It's not appropriate. " Deng Xuan said slowly.
"Then we're being represented just like that?" Zheng You had an anxious look on his face, and his tone became stiff.
"You can't say that," Deng Xuan said in disagreement.
"Then What do you mean, President?" Zheng You asked.
Deng Xuan looked at Zheng You and then at the young chef who was slightly dissatisfied. Then, he laughed and said,""This head chef Yuan is a chef from the younger generation just like you guys. It's definitely inappropriate for us, the older generation, to do something like this."
As soon as Deng Xuan said that, the chefs present reacted and understood what he meant.
"Guild leader's words make sense. If we suddenly interfere, it would seem like we're bullying the weak."
"Indeed. Then what should we do? just let him hang there?"
"I don't feel very comfortable."
"Exactly. We've been studying expensive dishes for our entire lives, but we've never said that we'll put such a signboard on it."
Then, the young chefs in the restaurant began to be dissatisfied with Yuan Zhou.
"We admit that your Sichuan cuisine is indeed very good, but you can't just hang the signboard of the master chef to mislead others. That's not looking down on us." This was the thought of all the young chefs present.
Seeing that the time was right, Zheng You spoke again,""The president is right. How about I represent the younger generation of your province to challenge head chef Yuan?"
Zheng You's words made everyone look at him.
"Since he has put up this signboard, let's compete based on your province's cuisines. If head chef Yuan wins, I will have nothing to say and will acknowledge the signboard of master chef Restaurant." Zheng You continued.
That's right. This was Zheng You's purpose. He wanted to defeat Yuan Zhou with the cuisines that he was good at and then use Yuan Zhou's current reputation as a stepping stone to get to the top.
As Marx said, once there was an appropriate profit, capital would be bold. With a 50% profit ... With a 300% profit, it would dare to commit any crime, even taking the risk of hanging its head.
If he defeated Yuan Zhou once, he would get more than 300% profit, not to mention that it was not illegal. No wonder the people who challenged Yuan Zhou would come one after another.
"Why did you have to hang the title God of Cookery?" Zheng You's face was solemn as he thought to himself.
