After all, there was only one plate of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, which was not enough for the chefs to share. Especially after they had tasted it, they were amazed by its delicious taste. They all ate it voraciously, and the whole dish was finished in less than two minutes.
The chefs looked at the empty plates that were almost licked clean of oil, and put down their chopsticks with a sense of unsatisfied satisfaction.
"Oh! Little Boss! You've made me suffer! After eating this dish of yours, how can I eat anything else for lunch?"
Chef Guo sighed, then rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, considering how loyal and dedicated I am, can you bear to let me go hungry at noon? How about you make me another plate at noon?"
"Don't worry, as long as you make me a plate of this Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea every day, I, Xiao Guo, will be yours from now on!"
Yu Wuwei's face darkened upon hearing this, and he cursed, "Get lost! I'm a normal person, I don't want you even if you give it to me for free!"
The laughter and scolding caused the other chefs to burst into laughter, but the taste in their mouths was still lingering and they could not forget it for the time being.
After some banter, Yu Wuwei got down to business: "Chefs, what do you think of my Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea dish?"
The chefs rolled their eyes. "Need I ask? It's absolutely delicious! Can't you see how we're all licking the oil off our plates?"
Yu Wuwei also felt that this question was a bit of a blatant show-off, so without waiting for them to speak, he continued, "How do you think it compares to the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix?"
Although he asked several people, he was still looking at the head chef Guo Liren. After all, he was the only one in the kitchen who could make "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
Chef Lao Guo also took the lead and said, "I'm not trying to flatter anyone, Lao Guo. I'm just speaking the truth. Young Boss, your Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is indeed much better than a Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. I can say it's better than anything I've ever eaten in my life!"
This evaluation of Master Guo is indeed very high. Although his cooking skills are limited and the best he can make is "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", he is a great chef after all, with more than 30 years of cooking experience. He has eaten countless expensive dishes and many famous dishes in five-star hotels.
If he felt that Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea was better than any other dish he had ever eaten, then Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea must be indeed delicious.
Yu Wuwei nodded after hearing this, and then said, "I've decided to make this dish the finale of our restaurant. Okay. Chefs, what do you think?"
“!!!”
Several chefs took a deep breath, shocked by the price.
"Young Boss, your prices are a bit too high! With a restaurant this size, how many customers can afford it?"
"Yes, this price is equivalent to half a year's salary for an average person. Not many people can afford it!"
Several chefs felt that the price was too high. Although the taste was indeed worth the money, it also depended on the actual customer base of their restaurant, right?
Yu Wuwei shook his head and said, "Since the taste is worth the price, we can't sell it cheaply. The exquisite Bai Niao Chao Feng is priced at 6888. In comparison, Ba Xian Guo Hai is not particularly expensive."
"And since it's the finale, it's naturally not something that people can easily afford. I don't plan on selling too many of these Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. After all, this is our restaurant's trump card."
"Besides, I'm adding a new dish, not raising the price of the original one. Even if no one buys it, it's still the same as it is now, right? If someone buys it, we'll make a profit, and if no one buys, we won't lose out!"
After hearing this, the chefs thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true.
This is a new dish I added, and it doesn't conflict with the existing ones. At most, no one bought it. Isn't that the same situation as now? We haven't lost anything. We can just treat the finale as a decoration and not put it on the shelf!
There was no stupid person among the few people. After thinking about it for a while, they understood it and nodded, saying it was feasible.
"Okay!" Seeing everyone agree, Yu Wuwei immediately made the decision: "From today on, our restaurant will be serving a new signature dish, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. The price is set per plate, and..."
Yu Wuwei paused for a moment, then continued, "And it's sold in limited quantities, only three plates a day!"
Yu Wuwei's order was quickly conveyed to the ears of all the restaurant staff, and they all began to get busy, printing menus, posting promotional slogans, and placing various advertisements until the restaurant officially opened for business.
Not long after opening, the restaurant welcomed many customers.
As soon as he walked in and saw Yu Wuwei behind the counter, he came over to say hello: "Hey, brave little boss Yu, I'm here again. What you did yesterday was really beautiful. You really made us Linhang people proud!"
"I was wondering if that good young man who did a good deed yesterday without leaving his name was Boss Xiao Yu! Well done, I'll order two more dishes today!"
"Is this yesterday's unsung hero, Boss Xiao Yu? I finally see him in person! Just for you, Boss Yu, I'll be a regular at this restaurant from now on!"
"It's really Boss Xiao Yu. He's just as handsome as in yesterday's video. Boss Xiao Yu, please give me an autograph!"
…
Looking at so many enthusiastic customers, Yu Wuwei became restless.
Damn it, which bastard exposed me? How can I live like this?
Unable to handle this group of enthusiastic people, Yu Wuwei whispered to Cai Zhenxiang that he would call him upstairs if he needed anything. Then, without caring about the unanimous gazes of the customers, he ran upstairs in shame!
"Hey, why did Boss Xiao Yu leave? You haven't signed for me yet..."
"Ah, this restaurant has another signature dish!"
"Uh, where is it? What's the finale dish? Let me see, let me see!"
Upon hearing that new dishes were being served, the diners' attention finally shifted away from the unknown hero, Boss Xiao Yu, who bravely did good deeds without leaving his name. After all, they came here mainly to eat.
After checking the menu, the first line of the first page was blinded by the bright golden words:
The signature dish of our restaurant is "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", priced at RMB per plate, and limited to three plates per day.
"Oh my god!" The customers counted the four 8s after the 1 and cursed in unison.
"What kind of dish is this that's so expensive? It costs so much, nearly 20,000! Even if I sell myself, I still can't afford it!"
"That's right. Few people could afford the premium Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix for 6888 before, and now your grand finale has tripled its price. You must be crazy about money!"
"Little boss, are you feeling proud now after doing a good deed yesterday? Do you dare to charge more?"
…
As the outstanding chef expected, once the price was announced, no one could afford it. Even if someone could afford it, they would have to consider whether it was worth spending nearly 20,000 yuan.
However, the restaurant staff didn't care much about it. They didn't expect this dish to be a big hit, so they just treated it as a decoration and served it the same as usual.
