Volume 1 Chapter 91 Secret Seasoning

Fang Dehai also tried it and found it to be a mere facade with little substance.

"Go and call those five chefs to me." Fang Dehai said in a deep voice to the manager of the head office.

"yes."

The manager of the head office turned around and hurried to the kitchen to call for help.

After a while, five men in white chef uniforms walked in, led by a short, fat, middle-aged chef in his forties.

"Mr. Fang, you are here for us." The middle-aged chef said respectfully.

"Master Gao, why do the dishes you make taste so different from those made by famous chefs?" Fang Dehai asked straight to the point.

"That's impossible. We all do it this way in the famous chef restaurant." Master Gao frowned.

The other four chefs did not have as good a mental state as him. Facing the scrutinizing eyes of the managers of the big restaurants and restaurants in Binhai, they already felt guilty. After being asked this question, they felt even more guilty and did not dare to raise their heads.

Fang Dehai has lived for so many years, if he still can't see that there is cat pee in it, he would be a fool.

He stared at Master Gao with eyes like those of a jackal, tiger or leopard, and his tone became fierce.

"All of you here are the heads of high-end restaurants and hotels in Binhai, and you are the leaders in the catering industry. Are the dishes you make the same as those of famous chefs? Don't we know the difference?"

"Master Gao, I advise you not to try to be clever, otherwise you will suffer the consequences. If you offend us, you will have no place to make a living in Binhai."

"So, think it over before answering. What we want is the truth!"

After hearing this, Master Gao also became nervous and began to sweat on his forehead. He thought he could get away with it and enjoy his high salary without any worries, but he never expected that these big bosses were all shrewd and could not be deceived at all.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Xiaoru was more anxious than anyone else, eager to squeeze out the famous chef. She slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Master Gao, please speak."

"I've already told you that I can't fool you."

"I should never have quit my job as a chef."

The four chefs advised Master Gao that some of them regretted quitting their jobs as celebrity chefs because they could not resist the temptation of money. In fact, the salaries that the celebrity chefs gave them were already quite high, but they were just not satisfied.

Master Gao was sweating profusely. After hesitating for a while, he sighed heavily and said, "It's... it's a problem with the seasoning."

Seasoning?

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking: Does every famous chef add special seasoning to every dish?

"Go on, speak clearly!"

Fang Dehai's face was frighteningly gloomy, and he felt like a fool.

Master Gao smiled bitterly: "In fact, the cooking methods of famous chefs are similar to those of other restaurants. The only difference is that each dish needs to be paired with a secret seasoning."

"The secret seasoning formula is only known to Boss Li himself. The seasoning we saw was a completely mashed paste. It is difficult to know what the original ingredients are and what the proportions of the various ingredients are. Without the secret seasoning, the dishes would lack soul."

So that's how it is!

What a great Li Tian! He had actually already grasped the vital point firmly in his own hands.

It's not that simple. It seems that they had anticipated that they would poach famous chefs, so they kept this trick in reserve.

That’s it. Without the secret seasoning, the dishes will only look similar, but the taste will be worlds apart. How can we compete with famous chefs? Are we just going to watch them eat up all the catering cakes at Binhai?

"Where did Li Tian get that secret seasoning?" Lin Hanwen asked.

Yes, yes, yes!

The secret seasoning is the key. As long as you know the recipe of the secret seasoning, everything will be fine.

Everyone gathered their energy and looked at Master Gao.

Master Gao said: "Boss Li said that these secret seasonings were invented by him when he was cooking..."

"Bullshit, a loser like him, how could he figure it out on his own? What a joke!" Lin Xiaoru looked down on Li Tian from the bottom of her heart and could not accept Li Tian's excellence.

"That kid is not even 30 years old, how could he have such talent?"

"I think the secret seasoning might be passed down from ancestors. We should go to that guy's hometown and ask. Maybe someone there knows the secret."

"That makes sense. Let's send some people to visit that kid's hometown."

Everyone nodded and talked to each other.

Lin Hanwen put the cup back on the table. "There's no need to go to such lengths. Just ask the Market Administration to intervene. The Binhai catering market is showing signs of a monopoly. The Market Administration has every reason to intervene."

Lin Xiaoru was overjoyed: "My brother is right. The Market Administration asked him to share the secret seasoning formula. If Li Tian dares not to listen, we will just shut him down."

Fang Dehai slapped his thigh and said, "This is a good idea. There is an old saying: The people do not fight with the officials, and the poor do not fight with the rich. Facing the pressure from the Market Administration Bureau, will that little bastard Li Tian hand over the secret seasoning formula or continue to keep it to himself? This is a problem. If he doesn't hand it over, the Market Administration Bureau will always find a way to punish the famous chef. If he hands it over, the famous chef will lose his core competitiveness."

"But isn't this just robbing by force? Will the Market Administration help us?" Someone raised his doubts.

"Who said we took it by force? Can't we just pay for his recipe?"

Fang Dehai smiled proudly and said, "Also, you may not know this, but these two are siblings from the Lin family. I don't need to explain how important the Lin family's say is in Binhai. The Market Administration will definitely help us."

When they heard him introduce Lin Hanwen and Lin Xiaoru, everyone present was surprised, then stood up and bowed to the Lin brothers and sisters.

"It turned out to be Mr. and Ms. Lin. I didn't recognize them just now. I am really ashamed. I would like to apologize here."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry that I failed to recognize Mr. Lin and Miss Lin. I'll punish myself with a drink."

Facing these compliments, Lin Xiaoru enjoyed it very much: "No problem, no problem."

"With Master Lin and Miss Lin here, we are much more confident."

Fang Dehai felt reassured. With so many big shots gathered together and the Lin family supporting them, a small famous chef would not be able to make any waves.
