Chapter 50: Not Easy to Fooled



Zhong Wanshan was originally depressed by Ye Baien's words, but now he became excited again: "Then can we put the Nine Dragon Pearls on sale?"

Just by imagining it, he could see himself sitting in a pile of money and counting it. It must be so cool!

"Of course you can. Those people's tongues are as stupid as yours, so they definitely can't taste the difference." Ye Baien said.

Zhong Wanshan looked at Ye Baien awkwardly, but in his heart he wanted to beat Ye Baien up.

It’s amazing to have tasted the original one. He thinks the one Xiao Ding and the others are eating is also delicious.

When Zhong Wanshan and his companions came out of the house with smiles on their faces, Master Zheng knew that he had failed. Xie Yunjiao's position in Zhong Wanshan's heart had risen sharply, and she was about to replace him.

"Congratulations to the boss for finding a new dish."

Master Zheng couldn't even force a smile and could only say this to Zhong Wanshan in a stiff tone.

"This isn't just a new dish; it's a long-lost classic! As soon as we release it, our Yue Man Lou will be flooded with customers!"

Zhong Wanshan suddenly thought of something and his face became serious: "Someone just asked the butcher to deliver some old beef. Find out who is behind this.

If you find out, you will be kicked out immediately and not allowed to stay."

"Master, I understand."

Master Zheng's face turned pale, luckily he found a scapegoat.

Even if that person is really caught, he will not give him up.

"Old Zheng." Zhong Wanshan suddenly called out.

Master Zheng walked over in a panic, with a lot on his mind.

He always felt that Zhong Wanshan came to see him at this time, and it was not a good thing.

"You will still be in charge of the big kitchen, but you don't have to worry about Xie Yunjiao. In the future, they will be able to decide what ingredients they need and who they need to hire." Zhong Wanshan said.

Master Zheng looked in Xie Yunjiao's direction with a complicated expression. Xie Yunjiao seemed to have expected him to look at her and smiled at him.

You are such a good person, Xie Yunjiao. He was on high alert and didn't want Xie Yunjiao to get ahead of him.

As a result, he set up his own kitchen and became the chef.

"I see," Master Zheng suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhong Wanshan expectantly. "Boss, the position of head chef has been vacant for a long time. I wonder if I can work harder for Yue Man Lou?"

He hadn't said it clearly before, so Zhong Wanshan could just play dumb.

But he said it so clearly this time, he didn't believe Zhong Wanshan could continue to play dumb.

Xie Yunjiao is already the head chef, so there is no reason for him to be the second chef.

"I've already told the people in Beijing. The main reason is that our restaurant hasn't been doing well recently, and the higher-ups think it's the chef's fault.

Although I have repeatedly stressed that this has nothing to do with you, the higher-ups still don't believe me. They say they need to investigate further.

But don't worry, I think you still have the best chance. Work hard, I'm confident in you."

Master Zheng pretended to be grateful and thanked Zhong Wanshan, but he hated Zhong Wanshan in his heart.

He could arrange another title for Xie Yunjiao to be the chef, so why couldn't he arrange it for him? He just didn't want to give it to him.

"Butler Zhong, please keep an eye on Master Zheng for the time being," Zhong Wanshan said with a serious expression as he left the kitchen. "I suspect he has second thoughts."

Although the wrong meat delivered today seemed to have nothing to do with Master Zheng, Master Zheng was the one who most wanted Xie Yunjiao and the others to fail in Yuemanlou.

He suspected that all this was arranged by Master Zheng.

Xie Yunjiao had just brought her two apprentices to perform well in front of Zhong Wanshan, and she wanted to take the opportunity to ask Zhong Wanshan to give her an advance on her salary. Because the weather was getting colder, she wanted to quickly find a craftsman to renovate her house.

As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she learned that Zhong Wanshan had already left, so she had to chase him to Qian's house again.

It's not that she can't discuss it with Butler Zhong, but Butler Zhong is an upright person and doesn't know how to adapt. I'm afraid he won't be willing to let her advance her monthly salary.

So she could only blame Zhong Wanshan for the idea.

When I rushed all the way to Qian's house, I saw that Qian Wanshan had someone buy a lot of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

"I didn't expect you like this so much, Boss."

"It's not that I like to eat it, but my daughter has loved it ever since she had the sugar-roasted chestnuts that Butler Zhong bought for her. But lately, she hasn't been able to taste that flavor anymore. She had people search all over Qinghe Town, and these are the last few that still have them. I hope she can find one that suits her taste."

Xie Yunjiao looked at Butler Zhong. He clearly knew that it was her who made the sugar-roasted chestnuts, so why didn't he tell her?

A glimmer of light flashed in Butler Zhong's eyes. He stiffly turned his head slightly and did not look at Xie Yunjiao.

He knew what Xie Yunjiao was thinking.

He didn't want to tell Zhong Wanshan that Xie Yunjiao could make sugar-roasted chestnuts because Xie Yunjiao had already occupied a place in Yuemanlou with the Nine Dragon Pearls.

He didn't want Xie Yunjiao to take advantage of the sugar-roasted chestnuts to get further.

But Xie Yunjiao came looking for him again, and he couldn't hide it anymore.

He had to think carefully about how to explain to the master without making him too angry.

"Maybe the boss and Butler Zhong don't know, but I can actually make sugar-roasted chestnuts. I just don't know if the taste suits the young lady's taste." Xie Yunjiao said.

Butler Zhong looked at Xie Yunjiao in surprise. He didn't expect that Xie Yunjiao didn't tell him what she knew.

But he was not too grateful to Xie Yunjiao because he felt that Xie Yunjiao was too goal-oriented.

It seemed as if everything was under her control, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Oh?" Zhong Wanshan seemed interested. "Why don't you try it? I have everything in my house except chestnuts."

"What a coincidence, I have it in my bamboo basket." Xie Yunjiao said.

In fact, there was nothing in her bamboo basket, but there was something in her space.

She found that as long as she put things in the space, their quality could be preserved, so she put the extra chestnuts in the space, thinking that when she had time, she would take them out, fry them, and sell them in town.

But she has been very busy recently, so the matter has been put on hold.

I didn’t expect those chestnuts could be put to good use.

"What are you waiting for? Go quickly." Zhong Wanshan said.

"Master, you seem to trust Xie Yunjiao very much, even though you have only known each other for a short time." Butler Zhong said.

He wanted to remind Zhong Wanshan that Xie Yunjiao's background was unknown and she knew so many things, so he had to be careful.

"It's okay, she's just doing something harmless."

Zhong Wanshan is not so easy to fool.

Zhong Huaishuang tasted the chestnuts bought by the servants again, but still couldn't get the taste she wanted. She lay listlessly on the table, feeling depressed.

"Why is it so hard to find something I like to eat? Xiaohuan, are you sure all the sugar-roasted chestnuts in town are here?"
