A moment later, Xiao Chen came out of the kitchen with a plate and placed it in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man only glanced at one dish before his eyes widened. He stared blankly at the plate of Egg-Fried Rice for a long time before he slowly said,""Boss, did you cook it yourself?"
"Do you see anyone else in this shop besides me?”Xiao Chen shrugged.
"This is amazing, this is amazing. Just this perfect rice wrapped in eggs alone is worth this price.”The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Chen seriously. He found it hard to believe that this kind of Egg-Fried Rice was made by this young man.
"Yo, you know your stuff."
Xiao Chen looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the spoon at the side very seriously and gently dug a small mouthful of Egg-Fried Rice into his mouth. Then, his eyes lit up and he took a small piece of omelet.
"Amazing, really amazing." The omelet melted in his mouth. Not only was it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but the flavor of the egg completely bloomed in his mouth. Although the seasoning was used sparingly, it just happened to play the finishing touch, further deepening the taste of the egg.
Xiao Chen stood to the side and watched the uncle eat with a smile. For a chef, being able to see others taste his food and praise it was the best reward for the chef.
To Xiao Chen's surprise, the uncle took out a pocket camera from his pocket and began to take pictures of the fried rice on the plate. After taking pictures, he could no longer control his appetite and began to swallow the rice like crazy. He even choked and rolled his eyes without stopping for a moment.
In the end, Xiao Chen couldn't stand it anymore. He went to get a cup of water that he had just boiled and handed it to the uncle."Take a sip."
The uncle gave Xiao Chen a thumbs up and quickly drank all the water in his glass. Fortunately, Xiao Chen had opened the lid of the bottle before. Otherwise, the uncle would have been hospitalized.
The uncle wiped his mouth and stared at Xiao Chen. He opened his mouth a few times, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
"If you want to eat, then order another serving. You shouldn't be short of money, right?”Xiao Chen smiled as he looked at the big gold ring on the other party's finger.
The middle-aged man shook his head." It's delicious. Try it a little. Otherwise, you'll get tired of your taste buds."”
"Hmm, I didn't know you were a professional foodie.”Xiao Chen teased with a smile. It was better to meet a customer who knew how to eat than a foodie who only knew how to eat. After all, there were many people who knew how to eat, but not many people who knew how to eat.
"Which cuisine does this master specialize in?”After the meal, the uncle didn't even call him boss anymore. Instead, he called him master.
Xiao Chen waved his hand." I don't deserve to be called Master. Uncle, you're much older than me, so don't hold me back. If you don't specialize in cuisines, you can basically know all eight major cuisines."”
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be good at learning? Boss, judging from the completion rate of your Egg-Fried Rice, you don't seem like such an impetuous person.”The uncle had no choice but to address Xiao Chen as 'boss' again. However, he didn't understand what Xiao Chen meant by knowing all eight cuisines.
"Would you believe me if I said I was a genius and that I was proficient in all eight cuisines?”Xiao Chen yawned and asked.
"I believe you. I believe you even if you say you're an old monster who has a good way of maintaining your health.”The middle-aged man replied seriously.
Xiao Chen's mouth twitched a little. He didn't know how to answer.
"Boss, I think you should be a capable person. How about I discuss something with you?”The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Chen mysteriously and whispered.
"Speak." Xiao Chen asked curiously.
The middle-aged man was delighted to hear that. He then glanced at the empty restaurant and said,""Boss, this is the first day of business, right?”
"Yes, I just opened it." Xiao Chen nodded.
"Your price is so high. There won't be many people coming to support you, right?”The uncle continued to ask.
"Yes, there isn't." Xiao Chen replied again.
"Then do you want your restaurant to become a star restaurant and you to become a star chef?”The middle-aged man spoke to Xiao Chen in an extremely bewitching tone.
Xiao Chen, who had been smiling and cooperating with the uncle, suddenly turned cold.""Not interested. Get lost."
"Ah?" The middle-aged man was stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Chen to change his attitude so quickly.
"Get lost. I have no interest in the entertainment industry, and I have no thoughts about variety shows or talent shows.”Xiao Chen said with a gloomy face.
The uncle was not angry at Xiao Chen's resistance. Instead, he nodded in agreement and said,""I knew hermit experts would have such a temper. However, I'm looking for people like you.”
"Hehe, I don't believe you can persuade me.”A mocking smile hung on Xiao Chen's lips. Even the system had not persuaded him to join the entertainment industry. He did not believe that such an ordinary person could do it.
"Free publicity for your shop, so that your shop is full every day.”
"Not interested. I'm too tired."
"On the show, I'll make you a celebrity chef.”
"As you said before, my answer was not decisive enough.”
"I asked you to teach a few delicate female celebrities, cultivate their culinary skills, and insult and punish them.”
"Am I that kind of person?"
"As long as you agree to the program recording, the 100,000 yuan appearance fee will be directly transferred to your card.”
"Haha."
The uncle was stunned by Xiao Chen's lack of reaction. He had visited several small restaurants like Xiao Chen's, but they had very good chefs. Few people could resist the first two conditions.
If he could name the third condition, then he would name the second one. Although the other party was not interested, as long as he mentioned the fourth condition, the other party would definitely agree to participate in the recording. After all, there was nothing more tempting than a hundred thousand yuan in real money.
However, he had clearly underestimated Xiao Chen's horizons. In Xiao Chen's Master Craftsman level cooking inheritance, a million yuan appearance fee was nothing to a chef of his level, let alone a hundred thousand yuan.
Moreover, the other party was from the entertainment industry. He wanted him to participate in a variety show. These two points alone were enough for Xiao Chen to kick the other party out.
"Pay up and leave. Otherwise, I'll personally kick you out.”Xiao Chen looked at the uncle, who seemed to be the director of the variety show, and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
The middle-aged man sighed, took out a hundred yuan, and placed it on the table. At the same time, he left a business card."I'll definitely come back. If you change your mind, remember to call me.”
"Hehe, scram!"
