When su Ruoyan announced the start of lunchtime, the customers began to rush into the store like hungry wolves and tigers. If it wasn’t for the limited capacity of the store, everyone would have wanted to go in and have a look.
As one of the eight major cuisines, min province had always been a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. The composition and formation of its food culture had been integrated with the food culture of other places, forming a unique cuisines with open characteristics.
In addition, Sha County snacks had taken over the world. Almost every province and city had traces of them. The response to the new dishes of Fujian cuisine was very warm. After all, they were very familiar with each other.
This was also why everyone thought they were familiar with each other. In addition to the many dishes from their own province, there were also many Sha County snacks. People naturally paid more attention to the things they were familiar with.
Therefore, there were a lot of people who came to eat today. Even if they knew that they wouldn’t be able to eat, they still wanted to take a look or simply planned to kill time on Taoxi road for the whole afternoon and wait for the arrival of dinner time.
As for where to have lunch, Li Li’s Western restaurant was naturally the first choice. Except for master chef Restaurant, which didn’t need to look at the signboard and the entrance, most people actually had to look at the environment and the entrance when eating. The decoration was exquisite and gorgeous. At first sight, it was very expensive. Naturally, it became the first choice of many people.
Li Li looked at the door where people were coming in continuously and then looked at the crowded Yuan Zhou’s side and sighed with emotion,”If only head chef Yuan could serve new dishes every day. I would definitely have a great harvest every day.”
Li Li was already very calm now. In the beginning, he even looked down on Yuan Zhou because of his culinary skills. He felt that even if Chinese food was good, Western food was definitely not as good as his.
It wasn’t that he looked down on Chinese food, but for Li Li, who had been influenced by Western food, it was normal for him to look down on Chinese food.
After the Sweden meatball dish, Li Li had already given up such a ridiculous idea, because Yuan Zhou had given him a vivid and vivid lesson, showing all the aspects of China, which had a long history, that were brilliant and worthy of being studied and respected.
In the past, Li Li was like a frog sitting at the bottom of a well. All he could see was the size of a square inch. After he jumped out of the well, he found the sky was so blue and so vast. The International chefs he was familiar with would also come here to exchange pointers with Yuan Zhou from time to time. All of these had broadened his horizons.
From then on, Li Li became one of Yuan Zhou’s die-hard fans. The evidence was the longevity memorial tablet that had been maintained for three incense sticks a day.
The feeling of winning while lying down was really addictive. Therefore, apart from offering incense to thank Yuan Zhou every day, Li Li also had another thought, which was to pray that Yuan Zhou would offer new incense every once in a while. In that case, his restaurant’s business would definitely boom and the year-end sales report would definitely be the best one in the company. Just thinking about it made him wake up with a smile, because it meant that his bonus and dividends would be multiplied several times. No one didn’t like small money, let alone a lot of small money.
......
“It seems like I have to burn more incense for head chef Yuan today.” Li Li made up his mind.
Looking at the restaurant that was almost full, Li Li quickly returned to the kitchen and started to get busy. Like Yuan Zhou, he would fully immerse himself in the kitchen once he entered and no longer care about other things.
Li Cheng also came to eat today. He didn’t know whether he was lucky or not. When he came again after several years, he encountered the time when Yuan Zhou served the new dishes. There were a lot of people here.
If it wasn’t for the fact that this small restaurant was special to him, he would have turned around and left when he saw so many people. It didn’t matter where he ate.
“I didn’t expect that after so many years, boss Yuan’s restaurant has become more and more prosperous. There are so many people here.” Li Cheng muttered.
Compared to the lively scene when he treated Zhang Chao to a meal a few years ago, the current situation paled in comparison.
The streets of Li Cheng looked different from before, and of course, Li Cheng himself was also different.
Li Bancheng had become more and more mature and introverted in the past. He was almost 30 years old, and he had not only grown in age but also in his experience. In the past, no matter how sophisticated he was, he still had the impulsiveness unique to young people. However, the current li Bancheng was like a piece of well-polished and gentle Jade, exuding wisdom from the inside out.
If Zhang Chao saw Li Cheng like this now, he would really not dare to recognize him.
He couldn’t explain it. Anyway, Li Cheng just came back from the foreign market after several years. The first thing he wanted to do was to come here for a meal. He didn’t know whether it was because he had treated Zhang Chao here or because of the taste of the food here. Anyway, he couldn’t explain it clearly.
Li Cheng still remembered the rules here, so he didn’t let his Secretary line up but came in person.
Standing in the line, Li Cheng’s whole temperament had changed, but he was still wearing an exquisite suit and small accessories. He still exuded an air of “I’m very expensive” from head to toe. Some things would never change no matter how much they changed. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the saying that “it’s easy to change a country but hard to change a nature”.
“It’s noisier here than before. I wonder if the taste will be as good as before. ” Li Cheng frowned a little.
To be honest, he had been eating Western food a lot, especially in the past few years when he was abroad. Most of the time, he preferred a quiet environment. However, even if people paid attention to Taoxi road, it was too crowded and naturally noisy.
Looking around, Li Cheng suddenly saw several familiar figures in the team. The one in front of him could be noticed at first glance. It was Jiang Changxi who was dressed exquisitely and had a strong aura. He also recognized manager Shi who was not far behind him.
Not to mention that there were several business partners. Everyone noticed that they just nodded to each other and didn’t have the intention to chat with each other at all. Li Cheng didn’t know whether it was an illusion or not, but he always felt that everyone’s expression was mixed with expectation and anxiety.
It was quite common for ordinary people, but it felt a little strange for the big shots at his level. Anyway, Li Cheng thought that maybe he had eaten too much Western food and his brain wasn’t working well. He always felt that he was out of place since he came to Taoxi road, which made him unable to maintain his usual calm and self-control.
When it was finally his turn to go in, Li Cheng had already stood there for an hour. If he didn’t feel that he had been waiting for so long and it was not in line with his habit to leave directly, he really wouldn’t be able to line up for such a long time. It was such a waste of time. He could even talk about a business with this time.
When Li Cheng’s patience was running out, he finally walked into the restaurant and found that there were more seats than before, but the overall area was still the same. Seeing that there was only one seat left at the last table by the bar counter, he could only walk over and sit down.
“It seems that boss Yuan has many more dishes now.”
Li Cheng looked at the menu that was as thick as a dictionary in front of him and compared it with the previous white pages of the menu. It was obvious which one was more and which one was less.
At this time, Li Cheng became a little more interested, even his slightly impetuous mind felt a little eased.
