Chapter 60 Chef Lu’s Craftsmanship

After Yue Ning finished speaking, he looked at Cui Jiachang again: "Uncle Cui, she is your mistress, your pet. If a pet bites someone, the biggest responsibility lies with the owner. It is her owner who failed to manage her well."

Yue Ning turned around and saw Cui Huiyi's face was pale. She pulled Cui Huiyi and said, "Sister Huiyi, a guest is coming. We won't delay Huihuang's business."

A few tourists walked in at the door, but when they saw that it was deserted inside, they walked out again.

Yue Ning pulled Cui Huiyi out, and Yu Wanmei's voice behind them said, "Didn't you say it doesn't matter? We are all for our own benefit."

Yue Ning turned around and stared at the woman with a venomous gaze. She had always told herself not to hate and just live a good life. Today, this woman brought back the anger she had when she poked the photo with a ballpoint pen in her childhood.

Yu Wanmei felt uneasy when she looked at her, and took a step back. Yue Ning retracted his gaze and smiled at Cui Jiachang: "Uncle Cui?"

Cui Jiachang slapped Yu Wanmei in the face with his backhand: "Don't cause trouble for me again."

There was a crisp sound of slapping, and Yu Wanmei's head tilted to the side. Yue Ning saw fear in the eyes of the boy next to him and took a step back.

Useless thing. Worse than her brother in her previous life. In her previous life, when her parents came to ask for money, her brother dared to bark at her. This? Seeing her own mother being beaten, this is her reaction?

Yue Ning sneered: "It's too late."

After saying that, she pulled Cui Huiyi downstairs and out of the brilliant door.

Cui Huiyi's hands were cold and her palms were damp. It was estimated that Cui Huiyi couldn't drive now. Yue Ning asked, "Sister, can we go for a walk on the beach?"

"Um."

The two walked on the beach, and Yue Ning asked, "No matter how much you quarrel with your father, do you still think he is your father? You never thought that in order to snatch Li De, your father heard that Yu Wanmei colluded with Lin Lekang and wanted to wait until the soy sauce chicken noodles were on the market before exposing Li De's use of borax. His first thought was not that if he did that, he would go to jail. Instead, he actually listened to that woman and asked Lin Lekang to call the TV station?"

"I don't care how vicious that woman is. But my dad..." Cui Huiyi couldn't continue. Her emotions were not stable.

"Putting aside the father-daughter relationship, do you think it's strange that your father did this?" Yue Ning asked her.

Cui Huiyi stopped and looked at Yue Ning and shook her head.

"That's it. Since you know he's capable of doing this, why are you still sad? Just stop thinking of him as your father. He's really not your father. He's just the father of that boy."

Just like your parents in your previous life, it is actually very difficult to accept that your parents have no love for you.

Cui Huiyi cried and said, "You don't understand..."

"How could I not understand? That woman is the one who abandoned me and my dad. Otherwise, why do you think she kept looking at me when she was in Beijing?" Yue Ning said with a chuckle.

Cui Huiyi looked at Yue Ning with tears in her eyes. Yue Ning shrugged: "That's right! Your father wants to send you to prison, and my mother wants to destroy me. Your father wants to establish virtue, and my mother thinks that I want to take revenge on her because I hate her, so I cooperate with you. In fact, who is she? Is she worth my energy?"

"Ningning!" Cui Huiyi took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "What about you?"

"I recognized her in Beijing, and I warned her privately, and also warned your father. I don't want my grandfather to know that the woman who killed my father lived with him and received his help." Yue Ning smiled and said, "Do you remember what I said?"

"I remember all the things you said, but I don't know which ones?"

"Master Zhang from the food factory said that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but she is the kind of person who doesn't even let her own daughter go. Your father is the same. Don't have any more illusions about them." Yue Ning went with her.

Cui Huiyi looked at the sea and said, "They are forcing us to take revenge step by step."

"How can this be called revenge? This is called defense." Yue Ning said.

Cui Huiyi took a deep breath to calm herself down. She sighed and said, "Do you know why he is so anxious to sell Huihuang recently?"

"Um?"

"Cui Ji's sales have not been smooth, so he wanted to open up the market with low-price promotions. It was quite effective at the beginning, but he had a lot of inventory, which put him under financial pressure. He also owed a lot of money to suppliers and couldn't afford to spend so much on Huihuang. He had to get rid of Huihuang and focus on Cui Ji." Cui Huiyi said, "So, he turned his attention to Lide."

"Sister, if there is a problem with Cui Ji, and your father still holds so many shares in Lide, I think you need to pay attention. Your father has ideas about Lide, don't others envy Lide? Outsiders won't think about the shares in your sisters' hands, but they will think about the shares in your father's hands. What if the other party secretly buys Cui Ji's stocks at a low price, and makes your father sell Cui Ji by acquiring controlling rights, but the target is Lide? Will your father give up Cui Ji or Lide?" Yue Ning asked Cui Huiyi.

In her previous life, Yue Ning had encountered equity disputes. Ning Shaola was backstabbed when it went public. One of the reasons was that an investor in the B round of financing encountered financial problems himself. In order to protect his main business, he sold Ning Shaola’s equity. The new shareholders came in and started to make decisions, and even wanted to drive her, the founder, away. She was caught in a dilemma at that time.

"I... I'll think of a way. I don't have that much money, but I can ask friends for help. Someone will come to Lide anyway. It's better to find someone I can trust and who also trusts me." Cui Huiyi nodded heavily.

After all, she is Cui Huiyi, a person with wisdom. Yue Ning saw that she had fully recovered and was ready to fight. Yue Ning pulled her hand and said, "Sister, I'm hungry."

Cui Huiyi laughed, looked into the distance, and said, "How about I take you to Chef Lu's Yulongxuan for dinner?"

"Okay!" Yue Ning said excitedly.

Some people's wishful thinking is so annoying.

Her popularity has not diminished in the past few days. This Chef Lu is jealous of her traffic and puts on airs. From the beginning, she meant that she could only be his apprentice. He also complained that she was ignorant and did not come to him. Yesterday, he said: "It's okay if you want to learn from me. Since you are my direct disciple, you can't just have a title. You have to follow me seriously and learn well for two years before you can really become my apprentice."

Speaking of dinner, Miss Su has been busy recently, and Cai Zhiyuan couldn't arrange her schedule. Among these people, Yue Ning wanted to thank Miss Su the most, but Cai Zhiyuan was so stubborn that he insisted on having Chef Lu come over to make fun of him. Cai Zhiyuan went to ask Chef Lu to come, and Chef Lu thought he wanted to learn from Cai Zhiyuan.

Why not go and see what the plating he is so proud of looks like?

Although the two restaurants were not far away, Cui Huiyi was too lazy to turn around and drive over. Chef Lu's Yulongxuan was a Chinese restaurant in a high-end hotel.

The restaurant is on the third floor of the hotel, and the sea view is a must. The interior decoration is not as magnificent as the splendid one. At this time, the occupancy rate in the hall is about 80%. For lunch on a weekday, this is not a central business district like Central, so this occupancy rate is really good.

There were no seats with sea view left, so Cui Huiyi asked for a four-person booth by the window. Yue Ning opened the leather-covered menu, which contained a beautifully printed menu. The pictures were indeed beautiful, but the presentation was not as exquisite as that of the dishes.

Isn’t this just a normal French meal presentation?

The waiter came over and waited for Yue Ning to order. Yue Ning was still flipping through the menu when she heard the waiter say, "Miss Yue, this traditional braised abalone is very good. It's authentic Japanese Jipin abalone."

“Okay.” I listened to the advice, ate my fill, and decided to try their signature dish for the first time!

"Your glass-skinned roast duck is very good. Our crispy-skinned pigeon is also good. Would you like to try it?" asked the waiter.

As Yue Ning started out as a roast meat chef, he certainly couldn't refuse this and nodded.

"And this Iberian ham fried with bird's nest and snow crab meat is also our restaurant's signature dish!"

This? Spanish ham is indeed delicious, but Yue Ning still prefers Jinhua ham, which is more mature, or Nuodeng ham from Yunnan. Yue Ning also likes innovation, so he is a little curious about what it tastes like when bird's nest, snow crab and ham are fried together?

Yue Ning nodded: "Okay!"

"And this bamboo fungus pigeon soup."

I already have crispy squab, but you also recommend pigeon soup?

Yue Ning looked at the picture and didn't find any pigeon meat. Instead, there were some colorful balls inside. She asked, "What is this?"

"Pigeon eggs and pigeon meatballs."

Yue Ning was a little skeptical. Was this dish really delicious? Since people recommended it, why not try it?

The waiter recommended a shrimp ball, which had a white and tender shrimp ball on an orange-red jelly base and was adorned with orange-red salmon caviar. Is this okay?

Finally, I suggested that she order some stir-fried Chinese cabbage.

Without vegetables, the meal would not taste good.

After the waiter finished recommending, Yue Ning knew from his past life that these dishes were not enough to fill his stomach, so he flipped over and saw that there was a barbecue pork rice and said, "Add another barbecue pork fried rice."

"Ms. Yue is an insider after all. This barbecued pork fried rice is the most expensive fried rice in Hong Kong."

How could it not be expensive? A serving of fried rice like this costs 188.

This is a good thing! The restaurant's pricing at least shows one thing: if you sell your carrots for 180 yuan, there will definitely be people who want them.

Yue Ning ordered the food and closed the menu.

Cui Huiyi turned the topic back to Huihuang: "What do you think of this restaurant?"

"It strengthens my confidence in taking over Huihuang. Since this is known as the most expensive restaurant in Hong Kong." Yue Ning looked around and said, "From the perspective of luxury and layout, I prefer Huihuang. The location is also good."

"When my sister was running it, Huihuang had better business than this place. After that woman got involved, this place just happened to open. Chef Lu participated in programs in the name of a professional and was often active in front of the public. The impression given to the public was that his dishes were high-end. Everyone thought he was the authentic one, and Huihuang gradually declined. Of course, the salary of Chef Huihuang was not as good as here. With the good chefs coming, Huihuang declined even more." Cui Huiyi asked her, "By the way, if you take over Huihuang, Baohualou will not have enough chefs. Huihuang has chefs, but their level... let's not talk about it."

Yue Ning smiled: "Then I have to eat the food here first. The chefs from Huihuang came here because the mistress intervened and the eldest lady of Huihuang quit. These people are willing to return to Huihuang. Of course I don't mind using them again!"

In addition, Yue Ning did not tell Cui Huiyi that she also had Yuecheng Fuyunlou. She also wanted to cooperate with the hotel where Li Xinrong worked for this training program. These two days, Li Xinrong saw the clip of Lu Jinyong wanting to take her as his apprentice, and called to say that he wanted to learn how to arrange dishes, and then find an opportunity to make Lu Jinyong admit defeat with conviction.

Yue Ning told him not to get so angry. She originally thought that Baohualou was in need of a chef, so why not let his apprentices come to learn. But then she changed her mind. Baohualou is a restaurant in the market, known for its taste. Uncle Rong's hotel is also one of the most luxurious hotels in Macau. The chefs may not be willing to come to Baohualou. Besides, the dishes in Baohualou are exquisitely presented, so it would be a waste. If they come, they will have no chance to learn. What if I take over Huihuang? This path is feasible.

The first crispy pigeon dish came...
