Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Chapter 142: Warm-hearted (2)

He could only be at ease with his own people.

Qi Sheng immediately dropped 25 million to turn Chef Yu into one of his own loyal employees.

And just like that, the way Yu Huachuan looked at Qi Sheng was instantly filled with immense respect.

"You’ll continue to manage the restaurant. Go get the sous-chef."

Qi Sheng considered that as the head chef, Yu Huachuan’s role was more symbolic, primarily serving important guests.

The daily menu was almost always prepared by the sous-chef.

The sous-chef’s skill level would directly impact the restaurant’s reputation.

Soon, Yu Huachuan brought in a tall and sturdy chef.

"Boss, this is my apprentice, Zhou Yang. He’s been learning from me for five years. His skills are... passable."

Though Yu Huachuan said that, he was actually very pleased with Zhou Yang.

"Hello, Boss!"

Brought by his master to meet the new boss, Zhou Yang was so nervous his back was soaked with sweat.

"Don’t be so nervous. I’m not going to eat you. Your master says you’re a good cook, so how about you make us one of your specialty dishes to try?"

Qi Sheng smiled, calming the nervous Zhou Yang as he turned him into an Expert Level talent.

Now, his culinary skills were no less than his master’s.

"Yes, Boss!"

Zhou Yang didn’t know what was happening.

Just looking at the young, handsome boss in front of him made him feel an involuntary, deep-seated respect.

As Yu Huachuan’s prized apprentice, Zhou Yang had learned seventy to eighty percent of his master’s craft.

Closing the remaining gap would require years of patient, steady effort, like water dripping through stone.

Yu Huachuan himself had studied under several famous chefs for eight years and then worked at Zifei for over a decade.

Only then had he acquired his own exquisite culinary skills.

But there was still a significant gap between him and the Master Level.

Yu Huachuan’s biggest dream was to break through that barrier and become a true master in the world of Sichuan cuisine.

After a while, Zhou Yang finished making his specialty dish.

"Boss, please have a taste. This is my best dish, Hand-Peeled Sancha Lake Shrimp with Qingxi Tribute Pepper. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

Zhou Yang walked in carrying a plate, looking full of confidence.

"You brat, since when did you get so cocky?"

Yu Huachuan knew Zhou Yang’s personality well. The young man was rarely as conceited as he was today.

’Yes, conceited.’

As far as Yu Huachuan was concerned, Zhou Yang’s cooking was bound to be riddled with flaws in the eyes of an expert like Qi Sheng.

Anticipating that the boss might get angry, Yu Huachuan prepared to swallow his pride and plead on his apprentice’s behalf.

"You all have a taste, too."

Smiling, Qi Sheng beckoned to his three little ones and Yu Huachuan, then took the first bite.

The ingredients for this dish also used lake shrimp from Sancha Lake.

Paired with Qingxi Tribute Pepper from Hanyuan, it was intensely fragrant, with a smooth, tingling spice that was utterly refreshing.

Served with a pomegranate sorbet, the mouthfeel was even more complex.

"Wow, this is delicious!"

Du Xinxin, ever the foodie, couldn’t resist giving Zhou Yang a thumbs-up in approval.

"Thank you, Boss’s wife."

Zhou Yang quickly bowed to show his respect.

"Oh!"
