Chapter 89 Who are you?
"What did you say? These dishes are his own creations? How is that possible?" Lin Cong couldn't believe it. "Isn't he an internet celebrity?"
"I'm an internet celebrity who likes to cook and set up stalls." Mo Qingyan no longer cares about the fact that she is always regarded as an internet celebrity.
Logically speaking, he is indeed an Internet celebrity now.
"But these dishes are not created by me. I just made them first in this world."
Mo Qingyan didn't dare to claim that these dishes were her own creation.
Because these dishes were the achievements of those chefs and gourmets in the world before him.
He is just a porter of these dishes.
However, no one else understood what Mo Qingyan meant.
I just thought he was being modest.
"How is this possible! Are you a state banquet-level chef?" Lin Cong really found it unbelievable. This was a Lizhou Banquet!
How could Lizhou Banquet use someone else's dish as its signature dish?
Isn't that a joke?
What’s more, this is a celebrity dish being used as a signature dish.
Unless, Mo Qingyan is a state banquet-level chef.
But, is there any state banquet-level chef who has so much free time to be a live-streaming internet celebrity?
State banquet-level chefs are basically either in competitions or on their way to competitions.
"No, I'm just an ordinary spendthrift. Oh, to be more precise, an internet celebrity spendthrift."
Mo Qingyan's understanding of her current positioning is very accurate.
What the hell is this internet celebrity prodigal son?
Just now, he felt pain on the left side of his face.
Now, the right side of my face hurts too.
Is this Mo Qingyan here specifically to defeat him?
Lin Cong once again understood why Wanchuan and the others looked at him strangely just now.
Good man, today he was slapped in the face again and again by Mo Qingyan.
This is such a shame.
Even though Mo Qingyan and the others stopped laughing at him, Lin Cong knew that they must be laughing at him in their hearts.
No, absolutely not.
He must save his face.
Lin Cong originally thought that today would be the day for him to show off his skills and step on Gao Moqi in various ways to show off.
Unexpectedly, he didn't step on Gao Moqi, but was stepped on twice by Mo Qingyan.
He had to get back his face today no matter what.
Therefore, Lin Cong could only change the subject again and said, "Well, everyone, pick up your chopsticks. Otherwise, the food will get cold."
"Can we finally eat? I thought you ordered all these dishes for Miss Guo. I won't even touch them!" Mo Qingyan could of course see that Lin Cong wanted to please Guo Ying.
But, if you want to please him, just try to please him, but don't use Gao Moqi or him as a stepping stone!
There were all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule towards them.
Mo Qingyan originally didn't intend to pay attention to him.
But Lin Cong just had to provoke them.
As soon as Mo Qingyan said this, Lin Cong felt embarrassed again.
Guo Ying didn't feel embarrassed. After all, this was entirely Lin Cong's wishful thinking.
Guo Ying didn't have that intention towards Lin Cong.
Guo Ying came here only for Gao Moqi.
As for whether Lin Cong was embarrassed or not, it had nothing to do with her.
However, Guo Ying also seemed to have found a topic to chat with Gao Moqi.
"Gao Moqi, try these dishes and see if there is any difference between them and what Mr. Mo made?"
Gao Moqi glanced at the dishes on the table and said, "I have never eaten his cooking, so I can't compare the two."
Guo Ying continued, "Then try the dishes made by the chefs here and see how many points you can give them. Next week, a big client will come to our company. Our boss asked me to choose a place for the reception, and I want to choose Lizhou Banquet. So, I want you to help me evaluate the dishes here."
In fact, no matter how many points Gao Moqi gave to these dishes, Guo Ying still needed to come to Lizhou Banquet to entertain customers.
Because Lizhou Banquet is the highest-level restaurant in H City.
To entertain this important client, of course we can only choose Lizhou Banquet.
So, in fact, Guo Ying had already booked a good seat at Lizhou Banquet a week ago.
Asking Gao Moqi to help taste and score the dishes was just an excuse Guo Ying made up to chat with Gao Moqi.
This reason is the most suitable.
After all, Gao Moqi is a gourmet by profession.
Although Gao Moqi also knew Guo Ying, to be honest, he was not familiar with Guo Ying at all.
What's more, the person who knows these dishes best is Mo Qingyan herself.
Therefore, Gao Moqi said directly: "You shouldn't ask me this evaluation. You should ask the first person who cooked these dishes."
Gao Moqi turned his head and looked at Mo Qingyan, "What do you think?"
Mo Qingyan blinked. What did he think?
The girl asked you to give her evaluation, and you want me to do it?
Although Mo Qingyan has never been in a relationship, from the time Gao Moqi came in until now, Guo Ying has glanced at Gao Moqi from time to time.
It is obvious that she is interested in Gao Moqi.
Now Guo Ying was just looking for an excuse to chat with Gao Moqi, but Gao Moqi just threw her to him.
What kind of person is this Gao Moqi?
However, Mo Qingyan couldn't say it out loud, so she could only say to Gao Moqi: "It's true that I made this dish first. But when it comes to professionalism, of course it has to be done by a great gourmet like you. After all, professional things should be done by professionals, right?"
Since Mo Qingyan said so, Gao Moqi couldn't refuse.
Said: "Then let's go together, that's better."
In Gao Moqi's opinion, the dish was created by Mo Qingyan.
Therefore, the evaluation given by Mo Qingyan is also very important.
After all, he is the creator and knows best what these dishes should taste like.
Hearing that Gao Moqi agreed, Guo Ying couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Then Mo Qingyan said to the others, "Come on, everyone come and try it and give Miss Guo some advice."
"Yes, yes, yes. Come on, let's eat together."
Lin Cong saw that he had been shouting for a long time but no one had picked up their chopsticks. As a result, as soon as Mo Qingyan shouted, Wan Chuan and others couldn't wait to start eating.
Lin Cong, who was used to being the center of attention, suddenly began to feel increasingly angry.
What's going on with this group of people.
He was the one who treated us to this meal, right? Why do all of them listen to Mo Qingyan so much?
No, he must take back the dominant position.
Gao Moqi quickly tasted the dishes.
Mo Qingyan also tasted those dishes.
They both put down their chopsticks almost at the same time.
"Do you want to speak first, or should I?" Mo Qingyan asked Gao Moqi.
Gao Moqi said: "Together."
"Okay, let's go together."
Mo Qingyan pointed at the vegetable meatball soup and then looked at Gao Moqi.
They both spoke at the same time.
"80 points."
"80 points."
Mo Qingyan: "The meatballs were not hand-beaten for long enough, so they lack elasticity. The shrimp meat was not processed well enough, so the fishy smell was a bit strong."
Gao Moqi: "The soup took too long to cook, and there was too much MSG in it. The vegetables were a little overripe."
"The taste of this vegetable meatball soup is very different from the one I made." Mo Qingyan did not add any MSG when making this vegetable meatball soup.
The flavor of the whole soup depends entirely on the meatballs and vegetables.
The addition of MSG to this vegetable meatball soup changed the taste of the entire soup.
Ordinary people with less sensitive taste buds may not be able to eat it.
However, Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi's tongues are both very sensitive.
Therefore, almost all the shortcomings of this soup were discovered.
Then, the next dish will be fried lychee meatballs.
Compared with the vegetable meatball soup, the most important thing about fried lychee meatballs is the cooking time.
When making these meatballs, they were a little off when I was beating them by hand.
The way the shrimp was processed was not sophisticated enough.
But fortunately, I was able to control the heat very well when frying it.
Therefore, it tastes better than vegetable meatball soup.
"85 points."
"85 points."
Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi gave the same score again.
Then came the steamed vermicelli with garlic sauce that Guo Ying had been hesitant about just now.
However, after taking a bite, Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi couldn't help but frown.
"75 points."
"70 points."
This time, the score given by Mo Qingyan was 5 points higher than that given by Gao Moqi.
This surprised Mo Qingyan a little.
He looked at Gao Moqi in confusion.
Gao Moqi said: "The meat of the crab in this dish is not fresh enough. That's why the garlic flavor is so strong. It is to cover up the fishy smell of the crab."
Mo Qingyan nodded, he also figured this out.
Although the quality of the meat of □□ is obviously not as good as the meat of the □□ that Mo Qingyan bought last time.
But, in fact, the difference is not that big.
At least, it’s a vibrant red.
It’s just that the garlic flavor of this dish is too strong.
There was too much minced garlic, which covered up the fishy smell.
However, it also conceals the freshness of □□.
Moreover, because the garlic flavor is too strong, even the vermicelli tastes very pungent.
"These dishes are not made by state banquet level chefs." Mo Qingyan has come into contact with state banquet level chefs.
He knew the level of state banquet chefs.
A state banquet-level chef would never make so many low-level mistakes.
"Well, it's definitely not Mr. Gong's cooking." Gao Moqi knew the resident state banquet chef of the Lizhou Banquet.
Of course, I also have a good understanding of the cooking skills of this state banquet-level chef.
"Isn't this a dish made by a state banquet-level chef?" Guo Ying was stunned.
She actually ate the meatball vegetable soup and thought it tasted pretty good.
Unexpectedly, Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi found so many shortcomings.
Moreover, both of them said with such certainty that the cooking skills were not of the state banquet level.
Mo Qingyan said: "To be precise, the state-level chef may have only prepared one of the steps for these dishes. The other steps should have been handed over to other chefs to complete."
"For example, this dish of fried lychee meatballs. The heat is controlled very accurately, so the step of frying the meatballs should have been done by that state-class chef."
After saying that, Mo Qingyan looked at Gao Moqi: "Am I right, Judge Gao?"
"Yeah." Gao Moqi nodded in agreement.
Mo Qingyan put down her chopsticks, picked up the water cup beside her, took a big sip of warm water, and slightly suppressed the garlic taste in her mouth.
Mo Qingyan said to Guo Ying, "Miss Guo, I'm sorry, I was too arrogant just now. I didn't expect that this dish was not made by a state-level chef. The garlic flavor of this dish is a bit too strong. So, I think it may not be suitable for you to eat."
"It's okay, you didn't cook this dish. You certainly can't know exactly how strong the garlic flavor is in this dish." Guo Ying was still frightened at this time.
Although she can accept a little garlic smell, if the garlic smell is too strong, she will probably vomit.
If she blurts out the words in such an occasion, her image will be ruined.
However, Mo Qingyan cannot be blamed for this matter.
After all, he didn't cook this dish.
He had not tasted the dish in advance, so he had no control over its taste.
That's also normal.
However, Lin Cong, who was standing by, saw Mo Qingyan fall over.
Suddenly, the matter started to get out of hand.
"Mr. Mo, this is your fault. You yourself are not sure about the taste of this dish. How could you just give advice to Miss Guo so casually? What if Miss Guo has any problems after eating it? Will you be responsible?"
Mo Qingyan didn't want to indulge him, and said directly and bluntly: "Just now, you were the one who asked Miss Guo to eat this dish first, right? In front of so many people, you kept shouting for Miss Guo to eat this dish, why didn't you ask in advance if Miss Guo could eat garlic?"
"If Miss Guo doesn't eat it, it will seem like she doesn't respect you, her old classmate. If she eats it, she will feel bad. It's you who put Miss Guo on the fire, not me. So, if something really happens, you will be the one who should be held responsible, not me."
Wanchuan and others have long disliked Lin Cong.
Ever since Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi arrived, Lin Cong has been targeting them in a sarcastic manner.
Forget about Gao Moqi. Except for Guo Ying, the other people present didn't actually have a good relationship with him.
Therefore, even if he was targeted by Lin Cong.
I guess no one will meddle in other people's business.
But Mo Qingyan is different.
Do you think that these second-generations are just craving for the delicious food made by Mo Qingyan?
Wrong.
What they coveted was Mo Qingyan's money.
If they could please Mo Qingyan, they would be holding on to a golden thigh.
After all, they all saw Mo Qingyan's wasteful behavior of spending money like water in the live broadcast room.
Mo Qingyan could easily spend more than 100 million in less than a month.
That proves that he has at least several billion in liquid funds.
Billions of liquid funds!
Even a company worth tens of billions of dollars cannot come up with so much liquid funds.
The most important thing is, Mo Qingyan is a spendthrift!
I didn’t realize that Gao Moqi had only known him for a short time.
Did Mo Qingyan just give him a Huayi watch worth several million?
What's more, what Lin Cong said to Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi before coming here was actually seen by everyone present in the live broadcast room.
Therefore, they actually already knew what kind of person Lin Cong was.
However, for the sake of their own interests, everyone pretended to be ignorant and agreed with Lin Cong.
However, now there appears Mo Qingyan whose financial resources are even greater than Lin Cong.
Of course everyone tried to please Mo Qingyan.
Therefore, Wanchuan and others immediately followed Mo Qingyan's lead.
"Yes, Lin Cong, you just kept asking Miss Guo to eat. You didn't even ask her if she could eat."
"Luckily, Brother Mo found out and gave Miss Guo a way out. Otherwise, Miss Guo would have been forced to eat this dish by you."
"Lin Cong, didn't you say that you have a good relationship with School Beauty Guo? School Beauty Guo doesn't eat garlic, and you didn't even know that?"
"Lin Cong, this is where you are wrong."
…
Faced with everyone's criticism, Lin Cong's face turned red.
He didn't expect that these people were just flattering him and asking him to lead them to make a fortune.
After just a short while, he actually started to join others in attacking him.
Lin Cong had no way to refute what they said.
Because he himself realized that he was too eager for quick success and was too eager to please Guo Ying.
At this time, the audience in Mo Qingyan's live broadcast room couldn't help but join in criticizing Lin Cong.
"Is Lin Cong mentally ill? He has been targeting our Brother Mo and Judge Gao."
"Who can't see that he likes that school beauty Guo! If you want to pursue school beauty Guo, then just do it yourself. Why are you targeting our Brother Mo and Judge Gao?"
"Because that school beauty Guo seems to like Judge Gao. Look carefully, that school beauty Guo's eyes have always been on Judge Gao."
"Good fellow, so that's why Lin Cong targeted the judge so much? Then our brother Mo was innocently implicated, wasn't he?"
"What are you afraid of? Is our Brother Mo the kind of person who will be bullied by others? Have you seen Brother Mo suffer a loss?"
"Haha, that's right. From what I've seen, Lin Cong is just a clown. He's always been slapped in the face by our Brother Mo."
"He was the one who organized this game, and he also paid for the meal. As a result, almost everyone present sided with our Brother Mo. This Lin Cong must be pissed to death."
…
At this moment, Lin Cong was so angry that he almost exploded.
However, he could not fall out with Wanchuan and others.
Just one Wanchuan.
Although their family backgrounds are not as good as his.
However, Lin Cong did not dare to offend all of them easily.
After all, if there were enough ants, they could kill an elephant, not to mention that his Lin family was not even an elephant!
Just then, the door of the private room opened.
Two waiters came in with two bottles of red wine.
"Ladies and gentlemen, your drinks are here."
Lin Cong was shocked when he saw the red wine brought by the waiter.
He quickly asked, "Did you make a mistake? The red wine I ordered was not these two bottles!"
The red wine Lin Cong ordered were two bottles of medium-quality red wine.
Although it is a medium-quality red wine, the price is still around 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.
However, the red wine served by these two waiters was high-end red wine worth millions.
That's why Lin Cong asked them if the wine was sent to the wrong person.
One of the male waiters said, "You are right, sir. These two bottles of red wine are given to you by our boss."
"A gift?" Lin Cong suddenly remembered that his father seemed to know Li Li, the owner of Lizhou Banquet.
Therefore, I wondered if it was because Li Li knew I was coming.
That's why I sent this red wine to myself.
Yes, that must be it.
Li Li must have known that I was coming to dinner today, so he gave me these two bottles of red wine worth millions.
Therefore, Lin Cong, who had just been speechless and had a swollen face from being beaten by everyone, suddenly recovered with full health.
He smiled and said hypocritically, "Oh, Uncle Li is really polite. We are just having a casual meal. Why did he send us these two bottles of million-level red wine?"
"Lin Cong, do you know the owner of this Lizhou Banquet?" Wan Chuan listened to the waiter's words, and then heard Lin Cong actually call the owner of this Lizhou Banquet Uncle Li. Very surprised.
You know, the boss of Lizhou Banquet is a top figure in their H city.
Although he only has one restaurant business in H City, which is Lizhou Banquet.
However, no one in H City dared to underestimate him.
Because Li Li, the owner of Lizhou Banquet, is from a big family in Shangjing.
The people from the big families in Shangjing are not people that their families in H City can afford to offend.
Lin Cong pretended to be innocent and said, "Didn't I tell you? My dad and Uncle Li are friends. This private room was reserved for me by Uncle Li himself. I really didn't expect that Uncle Li would be so polite. He actually sent me such an expensive red wine."
Although he said that, Lin Cong couldn't hide the pride on his face.
Hearing that Lin Cong's father was actually friends with Li Li, even Guo Ying couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on her face.
You know, Li Li has always been a loner in H City and has never had a good relationship with any family.
And now, Li Li actually personally delivered two bottles of million-level red wine to Lin Cong.
This is obviously meant to give face and support to Li Cong.
Looking at the surprised eyes of Wanchuan and others, he felt that he was fine again.
He continued, "It's a pity that Uncle Li is very busy today, otherwise I could have a drink with him."
Unexpectedly, the waiter next to him said, "Sir, our boss will come over in person in a moment."
"Oh? Really?" Lin Cong was immediately delighted after hearing this, "Why is Uncle Li so polite!"
Li Li, the boss of Lizhou Banquet, is coming here in person?
Wanchuan and others looked at each other.
Isn't Li Li giving too much face to Lin Cong's father?
Unexpectedly, Lin Cong had just finished speaking.
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked in with two waiters.
When Lin Cong saw the person coming, he immediately stood up in ecstasy.
He quickly walked over and shook the person's hand.
"Uncle Li, why did you come here in person?"
The person who came was the owner of Lizhou Banquet, Li Li.
Lin Cong's father had some friendship with Li Li. Therefore, Lin Cong was able to request a private room here based on the pretentiousness of his father and Li Li.
Otherwise, if you want a private room at Lizhou Banquet, you have to make a reservation one week in advance.
However, Lin Cong did not know that his father and Li Li had such a deep friendship.
After Li Li knew that he was here, he actually came to support him in person.
When Li Li saw Lin Cong, he was slightly stunned. Before he could speak, Lin Cong immediately turned around and introduced him to Mo Qingyan and others with a proud look on his face: "Let me introduce you, this is Uncle Li, he is the owner of Lizhou Banquet."
The pride on Lin Cong's face was overflowing.
He felt that at this moment he had finally found a hint of spring breeze. It was really painful to be slapped in the face by Mo Qingyan just now.
After the introduction, Lin Cong turned around and said to Li Li: "Uncle Li, you don't have to be so polite. It's ok for you to send me two bottles of such expensive red wine. You even took time out of your busy schedule to come here for me."
Unexpectedly, Li Li looked puzzled and asked, "I'm giving you red wine and rushing over for you? Excuse me, young man, who are you?"
When Lin Cong heard what he said, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Mo Qingyan and others were also surprised after hearing what Li Li said.
