Chapter 288: Start
When everyone walked all the way, there were many voices saying hello in the crowd:
"Hello, Mr. Luo."
"Long time no see, Mr. Hong."
""
Regarding their greeting, Luo Sheng and the others nodded slightly, but did not respond enthusiastically.
Because most of the people who greeted them didn't know each other, and even if they did, they were all of a lower level than them.
Those media also picked up their cameras one after another and took many photos of Luo Sheng and others.
In the eyes of everyone.
Luo Sheng and the others were invited to sit down at the VIP seats, accompanied by the store manager and Lu Chao.
But within two minutes, another group of people came to the door.
There were five people in total, and the leader was a middle-aged man who was a little bald and wore glasses.
When the store manager saw the person coming, his expression changed, and he hurriedly greeted him with Lu Chao.
"Boss." The store manager walked to the front and greeted warmly.
The bald man is Niu Xuebo, the owner of the restaurant. He owns several properties in Xiangjiang and is also in the business circle.
At this time, Niu Xuebo nodded slightly when he heard the store manager's greeting.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Feng, Mr. Ren, Mr. Huang, let's sit inside."
Niu Xuebo smiled at the four middle-aged people beside him, and walked straight to the seat on the inner side.
Luo Sheng, who had come before, and several other chefs stood up to say hello upon seeing this.
For them, a boss like Niu Xuebo is a rich man, and it is always good to know more.
Niu Xuebo and others shook hands with them and sat beside them.
"Chef Luo." After sitting down, Niu Xuebo said with a smile: "I'm going to open a restaurant in Beihuan. If Chef Luo is interested, you can come and work with me. I guarantee that your benefits will be better than now. .”
"Thank you, Boss Niu, for your kindness." Luo Sheng said with a smile, "It's just that my contract hasn't expired yet.
My apprentice Lu Chao also got my true biography, Mr. Niu, you can rest assured that you can take charge of cooking skills, and leave the opportunity for promotion and salary increase to him. "
These words made Lu Chao's whole face blush.
"Hahaha." Niu Xuebo smiled and said: "Chef Lu is of course a talent, I will not let him go, Aislin Restaurant needs him, Chef Lu, today is also an opportunity, and he will perform well later , I will give you a raise."
"Thank you boss!" Lu Chao thanked excitedly.
At this time, Mr. Li beside Niu Xuebo opened his mouth. He looked at the people beside Luo Sheng and said, "Brother Niu, don't keep staring at Chef Luo. The people next to him are also famous chefs. An Chef, how did you think about what I told you last time?"
"Thank you Mr. Li for your love. I can resign at the end of this month, and I will have to take care of Mr. Li at that time." Chef An replied with his hands clasped.
"Huh? It's all small things."
""
Everyone chatted with each other here.
Among the dozens of people sitting on the left side, they were also whispering to each other.
Those present who knew the people sitting on the stage were all talking about their origins, saying:
"Look at the man with slightly longer hair. He is Mr. Li. He has opened two companies and is worth hundreds of millions."
"So amazing? Damn, I thought it was a cooking competition between two small restaurants. I didn't expect it to be so big!"
"Small restaurant? Let me tell you, the owner of this restaurant, Boss Niu, is in the catering industry and earns a lot of money. He is a rich man! The bosses next to him are all his friends, just for his sake. Yes, or do you think that as the boss, you just come here casually?"
""
There was a commotion on the field for five minutes. The store manager saw that the time was coming to ten o'clock, so he asked Niu Xuebo. After he nodded, the store manager walked to the center of the two kitchen tables, took the microphone, and said:
"It's ten o'clock, and the person from the cute casual restaurant hasn't come yet, so maybe he's scared."
"Whether they come or not, we have to show our attitude here. Aislin restaurant was established five years ago and has always had an excellent reputation. It has been on various food shows and is famous in Xiangjiang. The assessment is a two-star restaurant, and this year, we will upgrade to a Michelin three-star restaurant."
"This time, I will also talk to you about the grievances between my Aislin Restaurant and Mengmeng's Casual Restaurant."
"The cute casual restaurant opened nearly a month ago. It is said that the owner is a foreigner. It's okay to come to Xiangjiang to make money. After all, it is a business. It is understandable, but your unscrupulous publicity and shameless hype, this That's a little too much!"
"An unknown trustee was found to wantonly raise the grade of their restaurant, saying that the food there exceeds the Michelin three-star standard, so I'm sorry, has he seen what the Michelin brand looks like? Seriously. , Their behavior can be regarded as fraud!"
"That's why Lu Chao, the head chef of Aislin's restaurant, decided to challenge them to make their ugly faces public!"
As soon as he spoke, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and several media outlets kept recording, listening to his one-sided words made everyone's hearts tilt towards them.
"All right."
About thirty seconds later, the store manager spoke again, and he said, "Let me introduce the judges this time."
"This gentleman is the famous entrepreneur Mr. Niu! This is the famous entrepreneur Mr. Li"
"I think everyone has heard of this guy. He is the famous chef Luo Sheng, the eldest disciple of Wang Long, one of our Chef Gods in Xiangjiang. His understanding and comprehension of food is more than enough to be a judge. The gentleman next to him is Chef An. "
After some introduction, there were bursts of warm applause on the field.
"Right now, it's 10:01. If the other side doesn't come at 10:30, then this match will end with the victory of Aislin's restaurant. At that time, I hope that the media reporters present can report truthfully."
The store manager glanced at the time and talked eloquently:
"Of course, they may have inquired about my social status and chef's level in Aislin's restaurant, or they may be afraid. It's understandable. After all, they are new here. We promise that as long as they can make a report , then we will not pursue it anymore, we will no longer argue, catering is for everyone, and we only hope to seek truth from facts.”
Seeing the impromptu performance of the store manager, Niu Xuebo nodded secretly, thinking that this person was selected very well at the beginning, and his ability to handle affairs is quite good.
It's just that before the words were finished, a group of people hurried into the restaurant again.
At first, the people on the back side exclaimed, but gradually, their eyes all focused on the past.
in people's eyes.
A group of more than a dozen men in black suits and ties took the lead in the front. After opening the door, several men in black suits stood beside the door inside and outside the restaurant.
Their standing posture is straight and upright, giving people the impression that they are extremely effective bodyguards.
Being able to equip these bodyguards also shows that the person who came here has a background.
Even Niu Xuebo and the others looked curiously at him, they wouldn't bring so many bodyguards with their wealth.
‘Could it be that a certain big shot came to see the excitement? '
This thought arose in everyone's mind.
However, when a group of seven or eight people walked in from the back, seeing that cute little girl, the corner of the store manager's mouth trembled slightly.
Cute casual restaurant!
Come on, come on, what are you doing so exaggeratedly?
Zhang Han and Zi Yan walked in the front, Zi Yan still wore the same clothes, white short sleeves, red shorts and sneakers, but wearing a peaked cap and big toad glasses, while Zhang Han was dressed in beige casual clothes, which was different from usual What's more, Zhang Han also wears a toad mirror, which is a couple style with Zi Yan. Mengmeng in Zhang Han's arms is tied into a ponytail. She looks at the people in the restaurant with big clear eyes, looking around curiously. .
Behind them, Zhao Feng followed closely, followed by Zhang Li, Zhou Fei, Luo Qing and Li Anna.
After Zhang Han and others walked in, Ah Hu and the crowd standing by the door also followed behind, walked to the left front side of the venue and sat down, occupying a place to themselves.
At this time, another five or six media personnel entered the restaurant. They were friends that Li Anna had found.
Seeing their posture, the field was silent, and no one was talking.
"cough."
Niu Xuebo came to his senses and coughed lightly to remind the store manager to receive guests.
This ostentation obviously has a background, many friends and many paths, no matter what, I have to invite him to the judges' seat to sit down and chat!
However, the manager's words made Niu Xuebo's facial muscles tremble.
Gudoo!
The store manager swallowed, his tone weakened by eight points, looked at the crowd entering, and said: "Uh, this, welcome, everyone in the cute casual restaurant, since people have arrived, can this game start? "
"Let's start." Zi Yan said very coldly.
Zi Yan's aura is full, and she said this as if she had become the one who gave the order. The store manager nodded several times after hearing the words, and said:
"Okay, let's start! Let the chefs of both sides come on stage."
"Go." Zi Yan glanced at Zhang Han and said.
"Yeah." Zhang Han nodded, got up and walked up.
At this time, Mengmeng, who was beside Ziyan, pouted and said, "Come on, Papa."
This made Zhang Han turn around and smile, and he could even feel the smile in his eyes under the sunglasses.
Zhang Han walked to the field and stood next to the store manager.
As for Lu Chao, he walked to the other side, and he glanced up and down at Zhang Han, with disdain in his eyes.
It's funny to find a random group of people to fill the scene. In his opinion, the boss in front of him has just arrived, how could there be such a pomp?
He knew it was fake without even thinking about it.
‘When you lose, let’s see how you pretend! '
A sneer hung on the corner of Lu Chao's mouth.
"Next, the two who will be competing will introduce themselves," the store manager's face straightened.
Before the words were finished, Zhang Han interrupted: "Don't waste my time, just start."
Zhang Han's indifferent tone to outsiders made people feel naked contempt.
This made Niu Xuebo on the back frown slightly.
Isn't it a bit embarrassing to come here to compete so arrogantly?
Even if you have a little money, don't forget where this is! If you know that a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, it's a bit unreasonable for you to come from outside and still have such an attitude
So his voice also faded, and said: "Then start directly, our time is also very precious."
"Ah, yes, yes." The shop manager hurriedly nodded upon hearing this, and said, "I announce the start of this competition!"
