Chapter 531: Chapter Five Hundred Thirty-One: A Mess

Hearing this, Zhang Dadan laughed. This kind of medicinal diet is very particular. But, because of this, can we sell it at a good price?

Zhang Dadan thought repeatedly and said, “Otherwise, I’ll help you keep an eye on the fire. In any case, I also want to cook the medicinal diet and helping you should be no problem!”

“Still no! This chicken soup still has several flavors. You don’t know the amount and how much you can burn.” Hu Linsheng refused again.

At this moment, Zhang Dadan noticed a small pot in the stove, containing some supplements such as ginseng, cordyceps, and deer antler.

Thinking about preparing this kind of diet is really not that simple. You can’t expect others to give up their efforts for the sake of your career, right?

“Okay, you stay!” Zhang Dadan had no choice but to completely compromise. Anyway, as long as there is a little defense, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Hu Linsheng smelled the words, felt relieved, and thought that the hours of his work hadn’t been wasted after all.

But the other chefs were unhappy. Why should we stay? This is falling into discrimination. We can never agree.

“I’m also looking after the fire!” The chef glanced at his boldness, and his energy wasn’t enough.

Before Zhang Dadan could respond, Sunx Liancheng was already unhappy and scolded, “What kind of nonsense are you joining?”

The chefs, who were originally going to fight against discrimination, saw Sunx Liancheng get angry, and quickly nodded, bowed, and slipped away.

After the chef left, Zhang Dadan stared at Sunx Liancheng and asked, “Why did you stay?”

Zhang Dadan saw Hu Linsheng misunderstood his meaning, then he foolishly laughed and said, “My kidneys are very good. Thank you for your concern!”

“Amount? That is… I lost my voice. I hope Mr. Zhang is not surprised.” Hu Linsheng noticed Zhang Dadan’s embarrassment and quickly apologized.

His meaningful expression made Zhang Dadan even more speechless. I wondered whether I should explain to him, how should I explain it?

Can’t you give him a show? Reluctantly, Zhang Dadan had to circumvent the topic and temporarily returned to the renal deficiency claim.

“Mr. Hu, what I just told you, I hope you can seriously consider it!” Zhang Dadan said solemnly.

When Hu Linsheng saw the serious expression on his face, he didn’t bother with renal deficiency but fell into a dilemma.

As a chef, a medicinal diet chef, Hu Linsheng had certain ambitions, otherwise, he would not position himself as an artist.

But the bleak reality forced him to yield to life. After all, he also wanted to eat and support his wife and children!

Finding such a job with a monthly salary of 30,000, Hu Linsheng inadvertantly soothed his heart and extinguished his enthusiasm.

As the master said, although it seems better than ordinary chefs, it is destined to become a private chef.

This is the high cost of making medicinal diets, which most hotels can’t afford. And making medicinal diets, the time is too long, even high-end restaurants can’t let guests wait for a long time.

Therefore, although he had the ambition to spread the medicinal diet nationwide, he was powerless and could only yield to the rich as a private chef.

Regarding Zhang Dadan’s proposal, was he not tempted? It must be very tempting, but he didn’t dare to take risks easily.

If the restaurant itself is not making money, or if it suddenly goes bankrupt, would he have to stop looking for a job again?

“Mr. Zhang, how long has your restaurant been open? How big is it?” Hu Linsheng asked cautiously.

Zhang Dadan wanted to look after the medicinal pot and absentmindedly should’ve said, “For half a year.” I don’t know the specific size. Anyway, we need to open a branch in our county.

Small… half a year? Dude, are you kidding? Or did I get it wrong?

A restaurant that has only been open for half a year, you want me to work there? Dude, do you know the cost of making medicinal diets?

Not to mention that cordyceps chicken is the simplest and cheapest medicinal diet, which requires a lot of time and cost. What can your store afford to buy?

Hu Linsheng felt Zhang Dadan had some wishful thinking, shakily nodding with tears.

Zhang Dadan was boiling the medicine and noticed Hu Linsheng’s silence. He unknowingly put down his work, walked a few steps forward, and asked, “Mr. Hu, is something wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking?”

Hu Linsheng looked up and asked him, “Say what? Mr. Zhang, you are a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. You should know that many tonic medicines are very expensive.”

“Moreover, most of them require nutritional medicine, so the cost of medicinal diets is very high, and your hotel has only been open for half a year, can you afford it?”

Zhang Dadan laughed sneeringly, not blaming Hu Linsheng. Who could hear about a restaurant that’s only been open for half a year and not have this attitude?

After all, the growth rate of Jiji far exceeds the normal speed of the catering industry!

A regular restaurant wouldn’t be able to accumulate regular customers in two or three years, would it? How much balance can it have?

“Well, when you have time, give me a call. I’ll take you to our hotel for a visit. How about it?” Zhang Dadan knew talking couldn’t easily persuade anyone.

Seeing Zhang Dadan eager for talent, Hu Linsheng was a bit distracted. Was he trying to deceive him, or was he genuinely convinced by his medicinal diet?

“So… okay, when I have time, I’ll call!” Although Hu Linsheng was still full of doubts, he didn’t bluntly refuse Zhang Dadan.

While they were talking, the sound of burning suddenly came from Dadan’s pot along with a pungent smell.

Although Hu Linsheng was just making a medicinal diet, he knew some traditional Chinese medicine, and that the tang tousong was overcooked and ruined.

He knew a pot of medicine, once boiled, would lose its efficacy. He promptly reminded Zhang Dadan, “Mr. Zhang… your medicine… your medicine…”

Zhang Dadan heard his anxious voice but wasn’t very careful. He just turned back and glanced.

His indifferent attitude made Hu Linsheng more curious. Wasn’t this Dadan a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner? When he saw the medicine burning, how could he be indifferent?

“Mr. Zhang, is your medicine… okay?” Hu Linsheng couldn’t care less. He stared at Dadan’s medicinal pot and curiously asked.

For ordinary people, when boiling medicine to this point, most of the medicinal materials in the pot would have turned into a pile of waste residue, completely useless.

Using advanced techniques, he added two magical herbs to the medicinal pot.

These two herbs, sourced from the Jade Screen Fairyland farm, were refined universal medicines, and they were indispensable auxiliary medicines!

The so-called auxiliary medicines themselves have no medicinal value and do not affect the efficacy of the elixir pills. Their magic lies in coagulation.

With these two herbs, even if the herbal pot is over-exercised for a long time, it will not lose its efficacy but will speed up the coagulation of dan pills.

Zhang Dadan is now boiling the medicine, but it’s some common herbs, not for strengthening repair effects and has no ability to resurrect from death, so it naturally doesn’t need to be boiled too long or use these two herbs.

But who would have thought, in the Sun Family’s kitchen, he would encounter trouble spreading the medicinal diet.

In order to make the elixir pills earlier, Zhang Dadan added these two herbs to increase the heat.

“No harm… My way of decocting medicines is different from others and will not affect the efficacy.” Zhang Dadan explained to Hu Linsheng.
