Chapter 520 Peng Yusheng’s Pride
“…Oh no, that’s not right. It shouldn’t be called letting her in. Rather, I knew I was not as good as her, so I took the initiative to admit defeat.”
Peng Yusheng said this to Boss Shen in a very relaxed and calm tone.
But he didn't care at all that these words would blow Boss Shen's heart into pieces, like ruins.
Boss Shen's head was buzzing and he was stuttering: "It's fake... Senior Peng, you really don't have to go to this extent to maintain the prestige of the Chefs Association!"
He just couldn't believe what Peng Yusheng said.
So Peng Yusheng asked him back: "Do you think I can really ignore the opinions of many chefs for a little profit and even destroy the Chinese catering industry?"
Boss Shen was speechless.
Of course he wanted to answer 'yes'.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
Boss Shen has admired Peng Yusheng for many years. Peng Yusheng has always been his idol and goal.
If even the idol collapsed, then what was the point of all his efforts over the years? Boss Shen seemed to calm down a little.
"So, Senior Peng, do you really think she's better than you?"
Peng Yusheng chuckled.
The former number one on the celebrity chef list has his own pride.
Therefore, he said confidently:
"About the same."
This is shocking enough!
Boss Shen took a breath and was about to say something.
Peng Yusheng followed up with:
“…But it was just my peak period.”
He said, with a rare hint of loneliness in his tone.
"Xiao Shen, you should know that aging is an enemy we can never defeat. As we age, as chefs, our sense of taste deteriorates and our movements become slower. Although this gap can be made up with experience, we have to admit that at my age, I have long passed the peak period and golden age of a chef."
Boss Shen felt sad when he heard this:
"But Master Peng, I tasted your cooking not long ago, and it's clear that you're still as skilled as ever. You definitely can't lose to those chefs who are 40 or 50 years old!"
Peng Yusheng smiled and said, "Yes, chefs in their 40s and 50s are generally recognized as the peak period of a chef's career, both in terms of skills and experience. But how old is Nanzhi? She is less than 30 years old. But her skills and experience are not inferior to mine. It's like two intersecting lines. We may be at the same point now, but every day after now, she is on the rise, while I am on the decline. Perhaps, this time I can shamelessly continue to occupy the first place on the celebrity chef list, but the celebrity chef list is re-elected every four years, and I don't want to hear others say that I am unworthy of the position and that I am taking advantage of my age in the next two days. Xiao Shen, I am Peng Yusheng, and I have my pride."
These words can be said to be from the bottom of my heart.
Boss Shen was speechless for a long time.
He was sad about the passing of the master Peng Yusheng, and at the same time he couldn't believe the sudden emergence of Nanzhi.
“…Is she really that powerful?”
Boss Shen couldn't help but ask.
Peng Yusheng sighed: "Have you ever eaten the dishes she cooked?"
Of course Boss Shen didn’t.
Peng Yusheng then proposed:
"That's perfect. I've booked two tables at Nanfeng Tower tonight. You can call the friends you invited over. I think nothing can convince people more than the taste of the dishes. Craftsmanship will never lie, right?"
"……indeed."
When Nanfeng Tower opened in the evening, Boss Shen and his friends who were preparing to protest arrived at Nanfeng Tower at the agreed time.
Of course, many of them didn't want to come at first, thinking that Nanfenglou was unlucky and that they would be aiding the enemy by coming here, which was absolutely not allowed! It was not until Boss Shen said that Peng Yusheng was treating them that they changed their minds.
After all, like Boss Shen, many people here are loyal followers of Peng Yusheng.
The idol is in front of me, so I have to go.
When they arrived at the street where Nanfeng Tower was located, they saw that the street was jammed with cars at the entrance, the sidewalks and the roadside were filled with people, and there were many vendors who had seen the business opportunity and set up stalls here.
Even for them, the car couldn't move once it arrived nearby. In order not to miss the agreed time, Boss Shen and his group had to get out of the car and walk.
I also got closer to the lively crowd.
They were stunned by such a grand occasion.
Someone blurted out:
"Why are these people lining up at the restaurant? Aren't they here to watch some celebrity's concert?"
The flow of people was so terrifying that they even saw police officers dispatched to maintain order at the scene.
Someone sneered immediately:
"Isn't that the same idea? I heard that this store is recording some kind of variety show with many big stars. Even my wife is following it every day. That's why we admire their methods! Old men like us can never fool these capitalists!"
Soon others followed suit.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, Boss Shen did not speak.
He just looked quietly at the sign of Nanfeng Tower hanging high above the crowd.
It is like a lonely moon hanging high in the sky, so cold and proud, and untainted by the dust of the world.
So... what Senior Peng Yusheng said, was it true? We have arrived at Nanfeng Tower.
Except for Boss Shen, the voices of complaints from the few people were also decreasing.
There is no other reason.
It was someone who cursed Nanzhi in a low voice while walking in the crowd.
As a result, a little girl nearby heard it, glared at him and asked who he was scolding.
The man, who was usually strong and sturdy from swinging iron pots, was speechless in front of the little girl who was less than 1.6 meters tall, and his arrogance was completely suppressed.
People traveling with me all laughed when they saw this, but their bodies honestly chose to lower their voices or complain inwardly.
They are all afraid of being beaten.
They finally squeezed to the entrance of Nanfeng Tower, where there were people standing there to maintain order, so they naturally stopped them.
Boss Shen quickly stepped forward and said that they had made a reservation in advance.
The other party quickly confirmed the information: "Yes, that's right, Mr. Shen, please come in."
The other party stepped aside and politely invited Boss Shen and his group to come in.
The people who were queuing next to them or who were not even qualified to queue all cast envious glances at Boss Shen and his group.
Boss Shen and the others didn't think there was anything wrong at first.
Until I was surrounded by countless gazes.
It was as if it was a great fortune for them to pass through the crowd and step into Nanfeng Tower...
At this moment, the middle-aged man's vanity reached its peak!
Ah, bah, bah, bah!
What's going on!
Aren’t they irreconcilable with Nanfeng Tower and Nanzhi?
How can we forget the most important thing just for such a small gain?
The group quickly suppressed their inappropriate thoughts and walked into Nanfeng Tower with stern faces and aggressive expressions.
