Getting kicked out
It seems that there are people who are kicking the gym.
When he saw that there was a show, Chu Yunmeng clapped his hands and sat down behind the screen calmly.
"Such a small restaurant can be said to be the best in Yingdu? Where does it leave the big restaurants in Deyuelou?"
The sneering middle-aged man was full of doubts: "What a country bumpkin I have never met before."
"You?!" Butcher Hu always had a bad temper. When he heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
After "you, you" for a long time, I finally thought of the reason: "In my heart, this Yunmengju is the best restaurant in Yingdu. What does it have to do with you if I say mine? I even said evil words!"
This statement was reasonable and immediately attracted the approval of many people around him, and there were endless voices of indignation.
"Yes, everyone's preference is their own business. Why are you so angry for no reason?"
"Could it be that you were sent by another restaurant to cause trouble?"
"Yes, it must be so!"
"Hey, isn't this the shopkeeper Wu from Deyuelou?" Some sharp-eyed people recognized it, and some immediately laughed out loud: "Could it be that I can't compare to Yunmengju in the way of food, so I'm here to talk nonsense?!"
The whole room burst into laughter.
When Chu Yunmeng heard this, he knew that if the conversation continued, Yunmengju would be provoked by the enemy for no reason.
So he quickly stepped out of the screen and bowed to the man called Shopkeeper Wu:
"It turns out to be the shopkeeper Wu of Deyue Tower. I'm glad to meet you. It was just a regular customer who praised Yunmengju out of personal preference. Please don't take it too seriously. After all, Deyue Tower is one of the best in Yingdu in terms of scale and reputation. In Deyue Tower
In the eyes of regular customers, Deyuelou is the best restaurant in Yingdu."
Who would have thought that the other party had a recalcitrant temper, and without giving Chu Yunmeng a good look, he threw up his sleeves and left.
"Thank you for your love, but please don't mention it in front of others in the future. There are mountains outside the mountains, and the little Yunmengju can't afford to offend the big Buddha. I hope my fellow villagers will forgive me.
"
After saying that, Chu Yunmeng served another side dish for free to every diner present. In a corner where she couldn't see, another diner couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
She thought that would be the end of it, but somewhere she didn't know, things were not as she thought.
A few days later, shopkeeper Wu, who came to "kick the restaurant" last time, sent a letter of challenge again, inviting Yunmengju to participate in the cooking competition in half a month.
After receiving the letter of challenge, Chu Yunmeng hesitated for a long time.
This is indeed an opportunity for Yunmengju to further become famous. But does Yunmengju need such an opportunity to become famous?
If you want to compete, you will naturally have to show your face. When your background is unknown and your situation is unclear, there are bound to be risks.
But if you give up this opportunity and slowly run a small restaurant by yourself, when will you be able to touch the truth?
If you don't care about your own life experience and the truth behind it, there is actually nothing wrong with just opening a small restaurant and living your own small life.
After all, it is warm and loving, and you can get the greatest sense of satisfaction. If you reveal your own life experience and the complicated relationships behind it, you may never be able to live such a warm and peaceful life in your life.
But, can I really tolerate a blank slate in the past? If that were the case, wouldn't it have been easier if I just walked away from Gongshu Yao?
Furthermore, can you really live a peaceful life if you continue to operate like this? Chu Yunmeng, who had originally tilted the balance in his heart, suddenly questioned in his heart.
It has only been more than three months since Yunmengju became famous. It has not grown in scale, but there is already invisible hostility hidden around it.
If we are just satisfied with the status quo and stop there, will those enemies hiding in the dark try their best to annex Yunmengju?
If you have an enemy, can you really protect yourself as a businesswoman running a small Yunmengju?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunmeng finally made up her mind to accept the challenge. After understanding the rules, she quickly responded.
But she didn't plan to come forward on her own. After learning from her for more than a month, Wu Gu had already mastered Yunmengju's dishes, and he no longer had any pressure to deal with most diners in this era.
This is why Yunmengju's business is getting better and better, and she can still be busy without hiring a chef.
And with his talent for grains, Chu Yunmeng often teaches him once, and he can completely grasp the essence of it, and he is very independent on how to bring out the maximum charm of the ingredients.
What I lack a little bit is the experience in controlling the heat.
In view of this, Chu Yunmeng strengthened his training on grains in the following days.
In addition to letting him be responsible for cooking the dishes required for Yunmengju's daily operations, Chu Yunmeng also ordered Wu Gu to be responsible for lighting the fire every time he cooked.
Ah Yue, who was originally responsible for helping in the kitchen, was given full command by him. Chu Yunmeng no longer directed the lighting of the fire, but only supervised from the side.
In addition, Chu Yunmeng also set aside an hour every day to teach him to practice the selected dishes for the competition.
However, because the selected dishes and ingredients are either not yet in season, or are not popular in this era and are very rare, so the first seven days were basically spent on practicing the ability to make soup with grains and make base ingredients.
Chu Yunmeng learned that several of the largest restaurants in Yingdu, such as Deyuelou and Zhaixing Pavilion, competed in a distance competition every year.
Often after your family introduces a type of elaborate noodles or dishes, the other family will respond with another table of noodles or dishes, but it is rare to compete openly in public.
I don’t know what kind of stimulation Master Wu received this time. He actually asked to cook three dishes in front of all the diners in Yingdu. The dishes will be selected by the diners in Yingdu to determine the winner.
And besides Yunmengju, no other families were invited to participate, obviously they came specifically for Yunmengju.
Putting aside other factors, Chu Yunmeng was actually very happy about Deyuelou being such a "kick" who gave Yunmengju a lot of face.
After all, one is a large restaurant that has been operating for many years, and the other is a restaurant that has only been famous for a few months. The two cannot be compared in terms of scale or the number of regular customers.
This invitation to the competition, to a certain extent, actually gave Yunmengju an opportunity for free publicity.
But she was not carried away by the joy and made thorough preparations in advance.
In order to make the competition fairer, Chu Yunmeng responded to the challenge while also making several requests.
One is that the judges must select people who are reputable or have high prestige and credibility; the other is that the selection rules need to be clarified in advance to avoid disputes on the spot; the third is that soup base or other seasonings are allowed to be prepared in advance.
The third request was, firstly, because the soup base used by Chu Yunmeng for the competition was very heavy; secondly, he did not want Chu Yunmeng’s exclusive recipe and method to be leaked.
Deyuelou quickly agreed to the first two requests. The two parties agreed to select five county magnates and five ordinary civilians with high prestige and reputation as judges. The judges must be approved by the judging panel and the competition.
But for the third one, it took a long time.
