"It's all my fault that I'm getting blinder the more I live." Li Jianbang waved his hand, looked around everyone, and sighed: "I've caused you to suffer with me. I've lost a lot over the years, right?"

"Old Li, you don't like to listen to what you said." The middle-aged woman stood up slowly, "If you hadn't organized everyone to build this food street back then, how could we buy a house, a car, and go out for a trip now? Of course, the loss must have been a little loss, but that was all the money I made with you before. I guess I could lose another five or six years, haha."

"This is right. When the food street was in its glory, everyone made a lot of money. Now they lose money, which is not worth mentioning." Another middle-aged man with gray hair smiled and said, "And everyone is willing to stay. Even if the food street is really at the point where it must be demolished, we all don't regret it."

"right!"

"Well said!"

Everyone applauded.

…

Chen Chong was infected by their voices and his mood became aroused. He used to think that the decline of the food street was due to poor management and insufficient funds, but he did not expect that such a secret was hidden in the middle.

Perhaps for Li Jianbang, what else is worth nostalgic about in the food street today? Maybe it is these unyielding old guys.

However, at this point, Chen Chong finally understood why Li Jianbang always raised himself without any trace. It turned out that he wanted to help Fatty Li.

Perhaps before coming, Fatty Li had already told everyone about his conflicts with him some time ago.

"Oh, I want to give some advice to Boss Li, but my cooking skills are not confident." Zhao Si secretly angered.

Everyone could see that the restaurant owner who had just joined the food street really wanted to do something.

Just at this moment, Chen Chong felt that Youdao looked at him. Without thinking, it must be Li Jianbang beside him.

"Old Li, you've made a good move." Chen Chong spread his hands.

"Brother Chen, I'm also doing this for your own good. Everyone is neighbors. It's better to resolve enemies than to make them. What a big deal. You'll be satisfied if Fatty Li comes to the door to apologize at the age of apologies?" Li Jianbang patted the former's shoulder meaningfully, "To be honest, if he can't pass, the team competition will be completely out of the blue. By then, my agreement with the board of directors will become a joke. I don't care, mainly... Look at my old friends, how can I bear to let them suffer."

Chen Chong did not answer the conversation.

When Li Jianbang saw that there was a show, he continued to speak, "I guess you must have not read the information given to you by the girl? To be honest, the team competition is about team cooperation. If no one sincerely helps you, no matter how culinary skills are, they will be destined to be futile."

"General?" Chen Chong suddenly smiled.

"Give your army." Li Jianbang nodded seriously and then added: "No matter how famous you are in the future, I will not keep you. Just leave some hope for the food street."

Chen Chong knew very well that Li Jianbang was actually very worried that he would leave with mercy and despair like Du Wenlong and others. This so-called hope was to leave a name in the food street, such as a branch that was in name only.

But that is the future, who can make it clear?

What Chen Chong can guarantee is that he will never be an ungrateful person, or even... it may not be necessary to take root in this.

"Then you will lose 100,000 yuan." Chen Chong said with a smile.

"It's okay, you're not short of money." Li Jianbang waved his hand and coughed twice.

The room suddenly became quiet, and then he saw Fatty Li standing up while twisting his body. He then walked around the person who was sitting down and personally dispersed a cigarette for Chen Chong, and said with a smile: "Boss Chen, I used to be a little-minded, so don't take it to your heart."

A simple sentence made Chen Chong's cheeks a little hot. After all, the other party is not young, so it is not easy to say such words.

"Forget it, let's not mention it." He took the cigarette with both hands and wrote off the grudge.

"Okay." Fatty Li laughed in a muffled voice. To be honest, because of Chen Chong some time ago, his restaurant almost couldn't continue to operate, but later as the other party's business got better and better, he gradually realized that this was just a dark night before dawn. As long as he calmed down, everything would improve.

Isn’t this the case these two days? When Chen Chong’s business is good enough, all the restaurants around him will benefit, and even begin to surpass the past.

"It's fine if it's fine." Li Jianbang was naturally happy to see this scene, quickly broke the awkward atmosphere and said with a smile: "Boy Chen, tell me a solution to help Fat Li pass tomorrow's review."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Chong with a fiery gaze and waited for the following text. However, after waiting, the latter still didn't say anything, as if he was hesitating.

"Kid Chen, actually, I think your classic casserole chestnut chicken that has not yet been released can be taught to Fat Li for use, and there is absolutely no problem." Li Jianbang's words were amazing.

"What? Boss Chen has launched a new dish? This is a big deal."

"Yes, I think every time Boss Chen launches a new dish, the business will surge a lot."

…

Everyone was talking.

"I think it's not good." Chen Chong shook his head.

Li Jianbang's face was suffocated and thought to himself that he was in a mess. It was natural that others had prepared this dish for so long that it was impossible for him to teach others. This was equivalent to shooting himself in the foot.

"If it really doesn't work, just teach him all the dishes you have. Although I don't know which dish those two old guys tasted at your place, it's better than nothing." Li Jianbang said gritting his teeth.

"Old Li, that's someone else's personal recipe. I think no dish is suitable." The middle-aged woman said slowly, and at the same time she winked at Fat Li without any trace.

Behind each dish is the chef's hard work and sweat. Who would like to tell others, especially this dull fat man.

Fatty Li suddenly realized and quickly spoke, "Boss Chen, if you are worried about the leak of the recipe, Fatty Li, I, can swore in front of everyone. No matter which dish you taught me, I will only make it once in my life and will never go back on my word!"

"Okay!" Someone clapped his hands and started to cheer.

Everyone was waiting for Chen Chong's answer, but saw that the latter still shook his head. Even Zhao Si wanted to say a few words to Fatty Li, Chen Chong suddenly said: "Either casserole chestnut chicken or existing dishes are suitable for you. Because for chefs, it would be so uncomfortable to know but not to use it?"

"What do you mean?" Li Jianbang asked in confusion.

"I'll teach you how to make an ingredient." Chen Chong said with a smile.

"Prepare...ingredients? Not finished dishes?" Everyone was even more puzzled.

"It's not a finished dish." Chen Chong replied with certainty, "However, I don't need any promises from you. As long as you can learn and use them casually, as for how to use them, that's your business."

"This..." Fatty Li scratched his head and turned his gaze to Li Jianbang for help.

"You stupid guy, aren't you happy to thank Xiao Chen?" Li Jianbang was so angry that he was itchy. Since others dared to make this suggestion, he would definitely be sure!

Moreover, he didn't say anything explicitly, because he vaguely felt that this might be a great opportunity Chen Chong gave to Fatty Li!

"Oh, thank you, thank you." Fatty Li quickly did it, but his heart was still full of doubts, and he had no idea what the ingredients could be used for.

"You don't have to worry. If you use this ingredient well, it will definitely have miraculous effects." Chen Chong smiled slightly.

The so-called "institutional people are confused and the bystanders are clear", and others can completely feel strong confidence from Chen Chong's smile, which shows that the mysterious ingredient is absolutely extraordinary.

But they also understood that the other party could not teach everyone this kind of thing, so they did not put forward any words of "common observation" to avoid embarrassing everyone.

"Then when will we start?" Fatty Li scratched his head and laughed.

"Uh...it's afternoon. When the business is over at noon, you can come to my restaurant to find me." Chen Chong looked at the time, it was already half past eleven.

"Your restaurant?" Fatty Li's face was not very good-looking, and the horror scene of that night appeared uncontrollably in his mind.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Chen Chong's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.

"No, nothing, I will arrive on time." Fatty Li swallowed, not daring to say anything.

"Then let it be, everyone should be busy." Li Jianbang stopped all his voice, "I hope our food street can break through the siege this time, and under the leadership of Boss Chen, he will be a blow to the ungrateful wolf in the Food City, which can also solve our depression over the years!"

The last two words of his are very heavy and full of power.

"good!"

Everyone applauded again and then left the teahouse in groups of three or three.

"You're so optimistic about me?" Chen Chong suddenly turned around and asked after everyone left.

Li Jianbang did not give a positive answer, but just took Chen Chong to the window and pointed to the growing crowd at the end of the street, "Look, it's so lively."
