Lin Jie understood Liu Hui's meaning, lowered his eyes and replied, "I'll try."
"Well, do your best, I won't treat you unfairly." Liu Hui patted Lin Jie's shoulder and said.
Lin Jie's eyes darkened. He could only try. Taochuanfang's dishes usually had special sauce recipes, and he didn't know if he could create the flavor. He could only roughly guess what ingredients, spices, and condiments were involved. He couldn't guarantee the final flavor, but he just hoped it wouldn't be too different.
-------------------------------------
A few days later, Shikefang also launched a series of cold dishes, and the price was lower than Taochuanfang, so many diners came to try it.
"Give me a serving of cold chicken feet and a spicy beef tendon." The diners shouted.
"I want a plate of Fuqi Feipian and braised duck wings." Other diners also shouted.
"Okay, I'll serve it to you right away." Xiao Li shouted excitedly.
Xiao Li hurried to the kitchen to bring out the dishes, not noticing Lin Jie's gloomy look at all.
"Everyone, please enjoy your meal!" Xiao Li had just put down his food plate and had not yet walked away when he heard a curse from beside him.
"Bah, what is this? It's so disgusting, it can't even be compared with the one from Taochuanfang." The diner next to him spat out the food in his mouth.
The other tables that had just received their dishes also tasted some, and their faces immediately changed color, shouting: "What is this? Is it sour? Is it spicy? It's not numbing enough, and there is no flavor at all?"
Someone at another table also started shouting, "These braised duck wings don't taste good at all. They don't seem to be cooked at all, and there's blood inside when you bite into them."
“It’s so unpalatable~”
"Taochuanfang's is still the best. The taste is amazing. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so cheap." Someone said regretfully.
"Yeah, it's true that cheap things don't taste good! It turns out that although the boxed lunches and steamed rice here taste a little worse than Taochuanfang, they are still tasted okay. I thought the cold dish would be similar, but I didn't expect it to be so unpalatable~" The diner next to him immediately agreed.
"Yeah, this is a scam, give your money back!" someone shouted angrily.
"Yes! Give me your money back! How can I eat something so disgusting?"
All the people who came to eat the cold dishes gathered together and started to make a fuss. The whole restaurant was now in a tense atmosphere.
Liu Hui had no choice but to return the money.
The diners who got their money back felt relieved and left one after another. "Let's go to Taochuanfang to eat."
"Yes, next time I will go to Taochuanfang and never try to save money again." The diners echoed.
Liu Hui rushed into the kitchen and roared at Lin Jie with a sullen face: "What's going on? How could this happen? Why is the taste of your food so different? Didn't you learn it at Taochuanfang?"
Lin Jie's face turned pale, and he said embarrassedly: "I tried my best, but I haven't learned this before." In the past few days, he has been trying various recipes, but he still can't make the taste of Taochuanfang.
Liu Hui pointed at Lin Jie, his fingers trembling constantly, and his voice stammered with anger: "You...you..." He was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, and finally left in anger.
