"Xiaoling, long time no see. Everyone, how are you eating?"
Du Shaojie quickly adjusted his mentality and greeted the customers in the private room with a smile.
Jiang Xiaoling responded and then introduced everyone.
This Annie is from Hong Kong, a typical rich girl. She likes to do things spontaneously, and has nothing to do with the words "lady".
"Chef Du, your dishes are very delicious, and you are so handsome. Can we be friends?"
Annie spoke recklessly despite Jiang Xiaoling's dissuasion.
Du Shaojie smiled and nodded, saying that all friends are welcome to dine in the restaurant again in the future. He was not interested in having anything to do with such a "rich girl", but he seemed polite on the surface.
After staying for a while, he said goodbye.
Annie was well prepared. She took out her camera immediately and took a few photos with Du Shaojie before sitting down with satisfaction.
Jiang Xiaoling sent Du Shaojie out the door and said a little embarrassedly:
"Brother Du, Annie is just like that, she doesn't have any bad intentions, please don't mind."
"Why should I mind? It's okay. I won't talk to you more today, I'll call you later when I'm free."
Jiang Xiaoling is Xiaomei's classmate. She used to come to her house for dinner, and Du Shaojie had a good impression of her.
Since she went to work in Hong Kong, the two haven't seen each other for a long time. He gave Jiang Xiaoling a business card and said he would contact her when he was free.
Then, he left the restaurant.
The private room returned to its original atmosphere. Annie and others would not take this little thing to heart. They were just chasing stars in the face of the legend of the mainland catering industry, not wanting to pick up handsome guys, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Jiang Xiaoling grew up in a different environment from them, so it was difficult for her to understand each other's thoughts.
But this disagreement would not affect the friendship between the few people.
"Xiaoling, are you familiar with Chef Du? Alas, I don't know if I will have the chance to eat his dishes in the future. How should I live in the future?"
Annie's eyes kept glancing at Jiang Xiaoling, but Jiang Xiaoling never answered.
Jiang Xiaoling felt that she was very familiar with Du Shaojie, but her face was not enough to let him cook for her personally. Who is he? A catering giant, a cooking technician, a master of Sichuan cuisine, she didn't have the ability to ask him to do anything.
Annie noticed this and stopped talking, and the few of them quickly opened a private room.
Du Shaojie forgot about the previous things when he returned home. A beautiful girl was not enough to make him obsessed. After taking a shower, he reviewed the dishes he made today, and suddenly had a different feeling in his heart.
He felt that he was getting closer and closer to breaking through the ceiling, but he couldn't tell when he would break through.
At this time, the phone rang, and he walked over to answer it. The call was from Xiaomei. She said that Wang Yuxiu went to her place in the afternoon and would not go back tonight. She would stay at her house for one night.
"Hmm? Is there something going on over there?"
Du Shaojie felt very strange. Wang Yuxiu would go to her eldest daughter's house for dinner from time to time, but she never stayed overnight there.
Did anything special happen today?
"Nothing big, you will soon have a nephew."
Xiaomei said with a smile, saying that she was pregnant, so she asked her mother to stay.
Du Shaojie was also very happy. It was a good thing for the family to have a large population. No wonder Wang Yuxiu stayed there tonight.
"Congratulations, congratulations. Then let her stay with you more. If you want to come back, I will send someone to pick her up."
Du Shaojie hung up the phone, and then suddenly thought of Liang Meiqin. He didn't know why she hadn't made any movement?
Then he called Meiqin, and the two chatted for more than half an hour before ending the call.
In the next period of time, Du Shaojie would go to various stores of [Xichuan Restaurant] from time to time to cook in person. The customers on the reservation list were ecstatic, and the number of people queuing increased again.
Du Shaojie showed a rare diligence in recent years. Every time he made a move, there were at least three tables, and sometimes there were even five or six tables.
However, he also knew that this state could not be sustained. If he achieved a breakthrough, he would settle down for a few days. If he could not break through as soon as possible, he would also settle down for a few days
. Therefore, he did not cook much himself.
This day happened to be the chef's open day. After Du Shaojie cooked three tables of dishes, he pressed the pause button. No one could say when he would reappear. It might be soon or it might be several years.
Of course, people who have a way may not need to wait so long.
"Mr. Du, why haven't you called me for a long time?"
In the morning.
Du Shaojie was about to go out when he suddenly received a call from Lin Zhiyuan.
"Leader, you are being unreasonable. You are so busy all day long, how can I have the nerve to disturb you?"
"So, according to you, I am wrong? Never mind, let's not talk about this. I have something I want to ask you for help."
"What is it? Please tell me."
"Haha, how dare I tell you, Chef Du? I really need your help. Do you know Mr. An Yifeng from Hong Kong? He will come to Guangzhou for an inspection soon, and I would like to invite him for dinner.
Mr. An's ancestral home is in Sichuan Province, and he especially likes Sichuan cuisine. I would like to trouble you to cook a few dishes yourself. If the other party is happy to invest here, you will have done me a great favor."
Even through the phone line, Lin Zhiyuan kept smiling.
He would not use his status to pressure Du Shaojie, nor did he dare to, so he could only ask as a friend.
Du Shaojie certainly knew An Yifeng. Although this old man was very low-key, he had great power in Hong Kong. The other party had the title of "Department Store King" and also owned a large amount of real estate and land in a prosperous area, which should not be underestimated.
"Okay, if you have decided, call me in advance."
He did not refuse. Lin Zhiyuan had helped him a lot, so he had to give him this face.
Besides, he never rejected cooking, nor did he think that cooking in person would be inferior, but it depended on his mood.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Lin Zhiyuan was very happy and hung up the phone immediately.
Du Shaojie did not take it seriously. It was just a small effort. But whether he admitted it or not, the dishes he cooked had become a de facto "scarce resource". Two
days later.
Lin Zhiyuan called, and Du Shaojie asked [Xichuan Restaurant] to prepare the ingredients in advance. Some of the dishes he planned to cook were not on the menu of the restaurant, but it was not a big deal.
In the evening.
Lin Zhiyuan and An Yifeng came to the restaurant together, along with some other people accompanying them.
An Yifeng was supported by a beautiful girl. If Du Shaojie were here, he would recognize her. This girl was Annie, whom he had met once before.
Annie was An Yifeng's granddaughter and his most beloved junior.
After the store manager settled Lin Zhiyuan and others, he notified the kitchen. Du Shaojie began to cook. Four cold dishes and twelve hot dishes were served one after another. An Yifeng picked up the chopsticks and tasted the [Daqian Dry-fried Fish], and couldn't help but exclaimed in praise.
"This dish is really authentic!"
"Right, Grandpa, I'm not bragging."
Annie hurriedly praised herself. She had eaten the dishes made by Du Shaojie and was conquered by his craftsmanship at the time. Later, she recommended it to the old man.
An Yifeng mentioned it to Lin Zhiyuan with a try-it attitude. After tasting it today, the dishes made by Chef Du are very extraordinary and worthy of the title of [Master of Sichuan Cuisine].
"Mr. An, Mr. Du is not only a well-known chef, but also a giant in the mainland catering industry. He owns many famous brands. It is not easy to eat the dishes he cooks."
Lin Zhiyuan responded with a smile, and also pointed out Du Shaojie's identity.
An Yifeng didn't know about this, but after hearing this, he knew that the banquet arranged by others was not simple.
He immediately expressed his gratitude to Lin Zhiyuan and hoped to meet this Mr. Du, the chef.
This was not an excessive request. Lin Zhiyuan immediately called the store manager and asked him to invite Du Shaojie over.
Du Shaojie didn't leave after cooking. He was afraid that Lin Zhiyuan would have something urgent to do, and it would not be good for him to be away. When the manager came over and said something, he got up and went to the private room.
Since he decided to do Lin Zhiyuan a favor, he had to do it well.
Du Shaojie walked into the private room and saw Annie at a glance, and then he was stunned for a moment. But he quickly came back to his senses, smiled and nodded to everyone.
"Mr. Du, let me introduce you."
Lin Zhiyuan introduced the two parties. Du Shaojie not only greeted An Yifeng, but also politely toasted him a glass of wine.
After all, the other party's age is there, even if it is out of courtesy, he should be the active party.
An Yifeng has a good impression of Du Shaojie, who is young, promising, handsome, and most importantly, very polite. However, this occasion is not right. After the two parties exchanged business cards, Du Shaojie said goodbye and left.
Everyone was happy with the meal. Today, they would definitely not talk about business, but according to An Yifeng's judgment, Lin Zhiyuan had a high probability of the other party investing in Yangcheng.
Afterwards, Lin Zhiyuan called Du Shaojie to express his gratitude.
Du Shaojie didn't care. It was just a small matter, and then he threw it out of his mind.
After a few days, he still saw the news about An Yifeng on the news. Mr. An and the city held a signing ceremony and said that they would invest 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in the local area.
He didn't look at it carefully, nor did he care much, but just knew that it happened.
After An Yifeng finalized the investment project, he held a cocktail party at the "White Swan" to thank friends from all walks of life.
Du Shaojie didn't expect that he also received an invitation. That night, he took Luo Qin to the cocktail party.
There were many guests today. When Du Shaojie arrived at the door, a waiter checked the invitation and then took them in.
"I will greet this guest personally, you go and do your work."
At this time, Annie, who was dressed in a formal dress, saw Du Shaojie and walked over quickly.
She sent the waiter away and personally led Du Shaojie forward, constantly greeting other guests as she walked.
Du Shaojie felt that Annie was indeed a lady now, with decent manners and words, and was very polite to everyone. She
was completely different from the straightforwardness when they first met.
People often have multiple faces, which is not surprising. (End of this chapter)
