CHAPTER 756: CHAPTER 758: IT IS SAID THAT THIS PERSON’S TONGUE IS UNMATCHED
Soon, Chef Wu, having been tidied up, was brought up again.
Li Fuyou was still sitting there, eyes closed, leisurely tapping on the table with his fingers in a rhythmic manner, the sound of tapping echoing continuously in the room.
"Young Master," Amo called out to remind him.
"Mm," Li Fuyou nodded, opened his eyes, and looked at Chef Wu. He pushed the paper and ink forward on the table and spoke slowly, "Chef Wu, here’s the writing material. Please take the trouble to write down the dishes."
Chef Wu’s eyes were full of unwillingness, but he had to obey, so he walked up to the table, sat down, picked up the brush, and began to write.
Li Fuyou was very pleased with Chef Wu’s performance; the corners of his mouth carried a sinister smile, and his eyes were extremely sharp. It wasn’t going to be easy for Dongfeng Restaurant to collapse.
After a while, Chef Wu stopped writing.
Amo presented the list of dishes written by Chef Wu, and upon receiving it, Li Fuyou’s brows furrowed tightly, and his face looked extremely unpleasant. He flung the recipes onto Chef Wu’s face and said coldly, "Chef Wu, are you playing games with me? With more than a hundred dishes at Yuelai Restaurant, you only wrote down these few?"
Looking at the scattered papers on the floor, totaling at most thirty, could a chef only know this handful of dishes?
Despite having the papers slapped on his face, Chef Wu did not get angry. Instead, he picked up the dishes he had written and then said, "Young Master Li, you are overestimating me. Yuelai Restaurant doesn’t have just one chef. There are many chefs, and each one only manages a few dishes. I never had the chance to get involved with the other dishes. These thirty dishes are precisely the ones I was responsible for at Yuelai Restaurant."
Li Fuyou hadn’t expected the Chu Family’s young master to be so meticulous in his thinking. It wouldn’t be easy to demand all the recipes from Yuelai Restaurant, but having these thirty dishes should help them persevere for a while, especially since some of them were the new dishes recently introduced by Yuelai Restaurant.
He spoke fiercely, "You’d better be telling the truth, or else you will regret it."
"Young Master Li, every word I say is true," Chef Wu assured.
Li Fuyou’s gaze was piercing as he then asked, "The new dishes at Yuelai Restaurant, who is behind them?"
"I don’t know about that, but it’s said that person’s taste is exceptional. As long as he has tasted a dish, he can discern every ingredient used in it. Yuelai Restaurant has been able to create so many new dishes because of him. It’s said that this person is currently traveling around, tasting dishes from different places."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed through Li Fuyou’s eyes. There was actually such an incredible person in the world. If this person were to join Dongfeng Restaurant...
Feeling there was nothing more to ask, Li Fuyou then gave Amo a look, and Amo took Chef Wu away.
After a while, Amo returned, and Li Fuyou said, "Let Chef Wu take over the kitchen in Dongfeng Restaurant in the county tomorrow. I want to see how good his culinary skills really are."
"Yes, Young Master. What about the other taverns in town..." Amo voiced his question.
Li Fuyou gave a slight smile, "First send down the dishes, let them try making them. In a few days, once the chefs in the county restaurant have learned them, they can go teach the others."
Amo nodded and continued to ask, "Young Master, should we capture more chefs?"
"No need," Li Fuyou’s lips curled up slightly. How would the Chu Family’s young master react if he found out the chefs had run off to their place?
"No matter how many people are sent, they must find the person Chef Wu mentioned."
"Yes, Young Master."
