Probably because the business was relatively good, the food was not served quickly. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the fish and meat lion head was served first.

There were six in total, Qin Xiangyang and Wen Ya tasted them first.

It has a soft texture in the mouth, and it does taste like fish, but it seems to be pork mixed with fish.

"It's very delicious!" Wen Ya praised: "It's not the same style as the ones made at home."

Qin Xiangyang felt that Wen Ya was right. The ones she made were just not in the same style. They were different in taste, but this fish and meat lion head dish was definitely up to standard and tasted pretty good.

Next was the shredded wild rice bran pork, a home-cooked dish that Qin Xiangyang couldn’t tell the difference from Wen Ya’s, and finally the Dongpo Pork and Squirrel Mandarin Fish.

Qin Xiangyang prefers Dongpo meat, which is crispy in the mouth, fat but not greasy, and very good, while Wen Ya thinks the squirrel mandarin fish is more delicious, sweet and sour, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

The two of them were halfway through eating when the phone Qin Xiangyang placed on the table rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?"

"Hello, hello, are you Mr. Qin?"

"Well, I am."

"Hello, I am Huang Bingtao, the manager of Tianshan Pavilion. You have just taken over Tianshan Pavilion Hotel. Do you want to come and take a look?"

"Well, I'm at...table 25."

"You, you are already here, right? Are you in the lobby? I will go find you right now! Just wait!"

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, less than a minute later, a man with a Chinese character in a suit walked over quickly. He took a breath, and then asked with some surprise: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Qin?"

"Well, hello, I'm Qin Xiangyang." Qin Xiangyang nodded.

"Mr. Qin, why didn't you call me when you came over? I'll arrange a private room for you and your girlfriend." Huang Bingtao was secretly surprised by Mr. Qin's youth and said with a smile.

"No need to go to such trouble, I'll just come over for lunch. How about I call you after I finish eating?" Qin Xiangyang didn't want to get up to talk about business in the middle of the meal.

Huang Bingtao patted his forehead and said apologetically: "Look at me, okay, I won't disturb your meal!"

With that said, Huang Bingtao left quickly. Before leaving, he said something to the waiter on the side, probably asking her to entertain the guests at this table.

Probably the gossip spread very quickly, and very quickly, the waiter who had just ordered Qin Xiangyang came over with some anxiety and poured water for the two of them, and then said bravely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, just now, because of this

I'm too busy, so..."

So I couldn't give Mr. Qin a good introduction.

Qin Xiangyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and comforted him: "I know, and I don't blame you. It's normal to be busy. Just go and do your work and don't worry about us."

"Hey, okay, thank you, Mr. Qin!" The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and felt that Mr. Qin was really easy to talk to. Then he bowed quickly and left quickly.

The two of them were finally able to eat quietly, of course, under the watch of the waiter. This feeling of being watched made Wen Ya feel a little weird.

After finally finishing their meal, the two of them had just wiped their mouths and drank some water. Huang Bingtao received the summons and came over: "Mr. Qin, did you two enjoy your meal?"

"Well, not bad." Qin Xiangyang stood up and said, "Let's go and have a chat."

"It'll be quick, don't waste any time." Then he turned to Wen Ya and winked.

Wen Ya smiled helplessly. There was no need to rush to the zoo. Of course, business was more important.

"Okay, Mr. Qin, please come this way." Huang Bingtao led the two of them through the kitchen and then arrived at an office.

"Mr. Qin, this is the former office of Mr. Zhang. Can you see if there is anything that needs to be changed? I will rearrange it for you." Huang Bingtao said diligently.

"No, that's it." Qin Xiangyang nodded, since he doesn't come here often anyway, and introduced: "This is Wen Ya, my secretary."

"Hey, hello, Secretary Wen!" Huang Bingtao said quickly.

Damn it, I didn’t expect that I’m not the boss’s son?

No, no, it’s not right to be so beautiful and carry it with you!

Well, the boss still knows how to play.

"Hello, Manager Huang." Wen Ya smiled and nodded.

"Your store will be merged into the Xiangyang Group in the future. For the handover, you can go to the sixth floor of Qianshan Building on working days and find Liu Yike. She is my assistant." Qin Xiangyang said.

"Okay, okay, I've written it down!" Huang Bingtao nodded quickly. This is a big boss who actually owns a group!

"There's nothing else going on. The restaurant is running well and the food tastes good. There are just a few waiters. Why don't you hire more?" Qin Xiangyang asked: "Is there a lot of customers like today?"

"Because the passenger flow may be less in normal times, there seems to be a shortage of manpower on weekends. Don't worry, I will recruit more people soon." Huang Bingtao said awkwardly.

Qin Xiangyang nodded: "There's nothing else to do. By the way, your chef here is very skilled and I want to keep him."

Hearing this, Huang Bingtao's face suddenly felt bitter.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xiangyang asked strangely: "Is the chef leaving?"

Huang Bingtao sighed and said: "Indeed, I am about to report this to you."

Qin Xiangyang frowned. The core of a restaurant is the chef. This is a big problem, so he asked: "Why are you leaving? Someone is poaching?"

"No." Huang Bingtao said, "It's a long story."

"In the early days, Mr. Zhang actually wanted to do high-end cuisine. This restaurant was also aimed at high-end people, so he spent a lot of money to invite this chef."

"This chef's surname is also Huang, and his name is Huang Guoqing. He is a native of Sioux City. He has done state banquets for a period of time, and his level is quite high. He is especially good at Su Bang cuisine."

"Mr. Zhang was full of confidence at the time, but he found that business in the high-end market was not doing well and kept losing money, so he changed the target customers to ordinary consumers two months ago."

"Although the business is booming, Chef Huang is not happy because he wants to cook fine dishes. As you know, most talented people are a little stubborn and pursue different things. He feels that this kind of batch

Cooking is a kind of torture for him, which is different from what he promised at the beginning, so he has to resign."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Mr. Zhang only kept him for these two months after trying hard. Now he is actually just giving advice, and the rest are other chefs.

At the end of the month, when his contract expires, he is ready to leave."

"Perhaps Mr. Zhang was also frustrated, probably because of this reason, so he turned around and sold the hotel."

After hearing this, Qin Xiangyang suddenly realized, no wonder this dish tastes so good. With the guidance of the chef of the state banquet, he suddenly looked forward to it. How delicious would it be if the chef cooked it himself?

So, Qin Xiangyang said: "That's an easy solution. Wouldn't it be nice to go back to the way we were before and be a high-end private chef?"

Huang Bingtao smiled bitterly: "But you may not make any money that way."

"I'm curious, why can't you make money? Aren't there a lot of rich people in Suzhou?" Qin Xiangyang asked strangely.

"The main reason is that the cost is too high. The chef's annual salary starts at one million, plus the water and electricity labor of this store. Although there is business, the profit has never been increased." Huang Bingtao explained.

"Okay, I understand, you go ask Chef Huang to come over and talk about it." Qin Xiangyang nodded, he is not afraid of losing money, as long as it tastes good.

"Okay." Huang Bingtao responded and went to the kitchen.

Soon, he came over with an old man who was over fifty years old. Huang Guoqing's facial features were slumped, he didn't look very good-looking, and he gave people an unsmiling and fierce look.

"Chef Huang, this is the new Mr. Qin." Huang Bingtao introduced.

Huang Guoqing glanced at Qin Xiangyang, nodded, and gave no special response.

Qin Xiangyang was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Chef Huang, I plan to restore this Tianshan Pavilion to its original high-end private kitchen. Can you stay here?"

"If you don't stay, you'll be breaking your promise again!" Huang Guoqing seemed to have a very bad temper. He didn't know if he remembered the unpleasantness he had with Mr. Zhang at that time and turned his back.

"Hey, this Mr. Qin is not Mr. Zhang. He is right about what he said. Moreover, he is the helmsman of the Xiangyang Group. He is not comparable to Mr. Zhang. Do you think he can deceive you?" Huang Bingtao has no idea what Qin Xiangyang is like.

person, but this does not prevent him from bragging with known information.

But this bragging is probably true.

Qin Xiangyang nodded and said: "That's right, my positioning of this hotel is not about profit, so you don't have to worry about me going back on my word in the future. Moreover, if I really go back on my word, you can just leave. This is completely fine."

Write it in the terms.”

Huang Guoqing pondered for a moment, and then said: "That's okay, but I will only cook one table of dishes a day from now on."

"Hey, how can that work?" Huang Bingtao was anxious. This chef is his signature. If he only cooks one table of dishes a day, wouldn't he lose more?

"If it doesn't work, I won't do it." Huang Guoqing said bluntly, and he was extremely upright.

"It's really not possible." Qin Xiangyang said.

Huang Guoqing sneered and prepared to leave.

But Qin Xiangyang said with a smile: "Only cooking one table of dishes every day is only the first condition. The second condition is that the dishes every day are completely according to your ideas. Customers are not allowed to order. Whatever you do, the customers will do it."

What to eat, I think it should be like this!"

Since what Chef Huang needs is not a shoddy running table, but a higher pursuit, then this condition must be able to impress him!

Sure enough, Huang Guoqing raised his eyes for the first time, looked directly at Qin Xiangyang, and said in surprise: "Is what you said true?"

Huang Bingtao was a little dumbfounded. Mr. Qin didn't follow the routine. There was only one table every day, and customers were not allowed to order. Would anyone be willing to come over and eat?

"Of course, it can also be written into the contract." Qin Xiangyang nodded: "You can rest assured about this."

"Okay, if you say so, I will agree." Huang Guoqing nodded. Indeed, this condition was very attractive to him, and he even thought that he could reduce his salary a little.

At his level, he no longer cares about money. He wants to research more novel, more unique, and better-tasting dishes. If this is the case, he will not only have enough time to research and develop, but also intuitively understand
