C9 I Come to the Restaurant to Introduce a New Dish
"... According to the official release of the film crew, "Three Fool's Hit Hollywood"... They were planning to kill Qing in three days for their cinematography. It would take about a month for the filming crew director to tell reporters in an interview that they would try their best to get the movie "Three Fool's Hollywood" online at the beginning of next month to meet with a large number of fans in various cinemas around the world …
"... Everyone knows that Hollywood is the world's film center, where restaurants, hotels, restaurants are plentiful, and there is an uncountable number of snacks. But yesterday a strange restaurant appeared in Hollywood... "
As the host's words faded, the scene on the news changed. The restaurant that appeared on the screen was precisely the restaurant that he had come to. Lots of patient nurses and doctors lined up outside the restaurant.
"Beli, why is this scene so familiar on the news? I seem to have seen it somewhere before." In a restaurant somewhere in England, an American man of forty-five was eating dinner and watching news reports on television.
"Dad, you're really forgetful!" A blonde woman replied with a smile, "We already have nine restaurants in Hollywood. Dad, didn't you say last month that you would open the tenth one in Hollywood?"
"Belis, you mean this place..." Only when the American man heard his daughter's words did he remember. No wonder he felt that this place was familiar. The scene on the news was exactly where he wanted to open the tenth restaurant in Hollywood!
However, that didn't seem right! He clearly remembered that place. There was only one Tang Clan restaurant, right? Could it be that the Tang Sect restaurant had closed down or been transferred to someone else?
Thinking of this, the man asked his daughter, Beli, what he was thinking about.
Hearing her father's question, Beli replied, "Father, the Tang Clan's restaurant hasn't gone bankrupt, and it hasn't been transferred over to anyone else …"
"So that's how it is!" After listening to his daughter's reply, the American man realized that the Tangmen Restaurant had now become the restaurant that Zhen came to. The owner of the restaurant was a young man. This young man was the son of the Tang Sect.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" When she saw that her father hadn't spoken for a long time, she asked.
"How about this! I'm going to stay in England and do business. You can go back to the States tomorrow. "After you return to the United States, think of a way to go to Zhen's restaurant and secretly investigate the boss who came to our restaurant …"
"Dad, you're being too careful!" She was very shocked after hearing her father's words. She didn't think her father would actually watch a piece of news and want her to be a spy in his restaurant.
"Belise, our tenth restaurant in Hollywood is just across the street from the restaurant that Zhen came to. "You saw the news just now. Our competitors are very strong, so if we don't know anything about them, then we …"
"Dad, we are from the Orris Family of the United States, and you are actually afraid of a small family like me coming to our restaurant? If the family's uncles were to know about this, who knows what they would say about you. "
"The market is like a battlefield, what do you know, little girl? The clan has so many businesses, I don't care how my other uncles manage them, I don't care. However, since your grandfather had given the family's dining hall to your father to manage, I definitely won't let your grandfather down again … "And that restaurant, I plan to leave it for you to manage …"
"Alright!" Beli covered her ears with her hands and made a face at her father, saying, "You adults really have a lot of reasons, alright!?" I'll listen to you. I'll go back to Hollywood tomorrow. Oh, by the way, Daddy, can I make a small request? "
"Speak!" What do you want? "
"That restaurant is still in the process of being renovated. Have you decided on a name yet?" After seeing her father nod, she continued, "My name is Beli, since you want me to manage that restaurant, why don't I choose this one!"
"Fine, since the restaurant is being managed by you, you can have whatever restaurant you want."
"Yes, thank you, Father."
… ….
Tang Zhen didn't know that his own son had come to the restaurant and was being watched by members of the Orlese family. Even if he did, he wouldn't be afraid because he had the God of Cooking's system.
"Guo Guo, eat slower." Tang Zhen came out from the kitchen with two bowls of vegetable beef porridge. He placed one bowl in front of Tang Guoguo. Looking at Tang Guoguo happily eating her vegetable beef porridge, Tang Zhen felt from the bottom of his heart that this was the happiest thing in his life.
"Alright, I understand, dad."
Tang Zhen grabbed the towel on the table and gently wiped away the congee from the corner of Tang Guo's mouth as he happily smiled.
A new day, a new beginning.
Not long after Tang Guo finished eating, the ingredients that Tang Zhen had bought arrived. Tang Zhen came to settle the balance of the money for Aunt Pang and also made a vegetable beef porridge for her to take back.
After Tang Zhen finished preparing all the ingredients, I came to the dining room to open the restaurant normally.
The customers that lined up today were the same as yesterday's. And today, Lin Shenglong brought his daughter, Little Sister Lin, to the restaurant with him.
"Everyone, line up. Today, I came to the restaurant to introduce a new dish. Can everyone guess what kind of delicacy this new dish is? If my answer is correct, I will reward him with a free taste of new delicacies. "
Tang Zhen did not enter the kitchen. Instead, he stood in front of everyone and loudly announced that he had released two new dishes today.
"I guess it's meat. It must have something to do with meat."
"I don't think so …"
"I think that the new dish must be related to porridge..."
"..."
"... The aunt in front … "It's definitely not porridge. Boss Tang owns a restaurant, not a porridge restaurant. If all the restaurants sell porridge, then what kind of restaurant would he open …"
"... According to my experience, Boss Tang would never make porridge again … I venture to guess, the recent Hollywood trend of eating dragon meat, a lot of restaurants and hotels have started to launch their dishes. "
"Uncle, what you said makes sense. The meat of the dragon is definitely related to the new dish that Boss Tang launched..."
When the guests heard Tang Zhen's words, they all started whispering to each other.
Tang Zhen came to look at the chattering crowd. He did not shake his head to say no, nor did he nod his head, much less give any hints. Tang Zhen came to know that the term "dragon meat" did not refer to the distant divine beast, the Five Clawed Golden Dragon, that we often see on television.
That is to say, Hollywood's most recent dragon meat feast is just another snake meat feast.
Snakes in China, the folk name, is also called "land dragon", there are "land dragon" of course there are "sky dragon". The so-called "Sky Dragon" was actually a centipede.
As Tang Zhen listened to the discussion of the customers, he thought to himself that once his level is high enough to open the system's Merchant Shop, he would definitely be able to make a true appearance at the Dragon Meat Meal.
Although Tang Zhen was only a 1-star Human Chef, and was unable to enter the system's Merchant Shop to purchase the noble ingredients inside, but he was still able to understand from the system that there were a lot of ingredients sold in the system's Merchant Shop.
There were beasts that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, swam in the water, and even went extinct. There were even giant creatures such as dinosaurs or even ancient creatures that only existed in legends.
When Tang Zhen learned about the ingredients from the system, he was already salivating. Unfortunately, he was only a 1-star Human Chef, so he was still unable to open up the system's Merchant Shop.
The System told Tang Zhen that if he wanted to open up the system's Merchant Shop, then he must reach 4-star Human Chef as soon as possible.
"Guo Guo, do you know what your father's new delicacy is today?" Lin Shenglong's daughter, Little Sister Lin was twelve years old, six years older than Tang Guoguo. While the others weren't paying attention, Little Sister Lin quietly approached Tang Guoguo.
"Porridge, tofu porridge, egg porridge, and vegetable fish porridge." Hearing Little Sister Lin's question, Tang Guoguo let out a baby voice. Although this voice was very soft, because the two of them were too close, Little Sister Lin could still hear it clearly.
When Little Sister Lin heard Tang Guo's answer that she wanted to know, she immediately retreated far away from Tang Guo. She didn't want anyone to notice her and say she cheated.
"Boss Tang, can you give me a hint?"
"That's right! That's right! "This uncle is right. Boss Tang, please give me a hint!"
"If there's no hint, how do you expect us to guess?"
"..."
"Alright!" Seeing that all the guests wanted him to give a hint, Tang Zhen smiled and said, "Then I'll give a hint to everyone!" "Actually, today's new dish is related to us coming to the restaurant."
"This …"
"Boss Tang, what kind of reminder is this …"
"Boss Tang, did you say that this notice was not that much different from before?"
"..."
"I got it. It must be related to the congee." A twenty-something year old girl thought deeply for a moment before she looked up at Tang Zhen and asked, "Boss Tang, do you think I'm right?" This girl was wearing a nurse's uniform. Clearly, she was a nurse.
"Everyone says that this isn't a hint, so let me give you another hint!" Tang Zhen smiled at the nurse who was in her twenties. He did not nod and say "yes" nor did he shake his head to say "no".
Tang Zhen took two steps forward and sat down in a chair. He looked at the customers waiting in line and directly said, "The new dishes that I came to the restaurant for today are often eaten by Chinese people, and most of the ingredients in China come from rural areas …"
"I know, Old Boss Tang. It must be porridge, right?" When Tang Zhen had just finished speaking, a few of the guests immediately gave their answers. Tang Zhen looked over and saw that the people who answered correctly were an American couple. They looked like a couple.
There was also a little black ego, and the rest were all Chinese with the same black hair and yellow skin as Tang Zhen.
"I'm guessing it must be a dish related to chickens..."
"... It was a pig. "Although I've never been to China, but my grandfather has been there before. My grandfather once mentioned to me that there are a lot of pig farmers in rural China, so I'm guessing that Boss Tang's new dish today must be related to pork!"
"Yes!" Right! Right! It must be pork... "
"Yes!" Right! Right! "Judging from the words of this young lad, it must be something related to pork, this is definitely true..."
There were a few Americans and Englishmen who wanted to say it was porridge, but when they heard someone say it was pork and had moved out to China, they changed their minds.
"... "I think Boss Tang's new dish should be dog meat." A Malaysian woman gave a different answer from most people: "I have a cousin who is Chinese. When I was young, I went to my cousin's hometown. "My cousin's family is called Lin Guangxi..."
After hearing the Malaysian woman's last words, Tang Zhen could not help but laugh. He then looked at the Malaysian woman and said, "Lady, you must be talking about Gui Lin of Guangxi, right?"
"Yes!" Right! That's right, Boss Tang is quite knowledgeable, my cousin's hometown is called Guangxi Guilin. "I heard that Gui Lin is very famous. There is a saying in China that describes Gui Lin as a world under the heavens."
"Gui Lin A the Heavens." Tang Zhen couldn't help but give this Malaysian woman a slight smack on her head.
"Yes. Guangxi Guilin is not only good mountain, good water, good breath. Furthermore, every family there has a lot of dogs, because they have a Dog Meat Festival. Every year, when the Dog Meat Festival arrives, the dog meat on the street can be eaten however you want, no money … "
"From what this lady has said, the Chinese people must be very fond of dog meat. "It seems that Boss Tang's new dish is definitely related to dog meat!"
The discussion among the guests lasted for an unknown amount of time before it finally divided into three groups. A group of people called it dog meat, a group called it pork, and a group called it porridge. Ten of the eighteen were Chinese, an American couple, an African black guy, a German old man, three British women, and an Italian girl.
The Italian girl was the first twenty-something-year-old nurse to say "congee".
"Everyone has decided on the answer. Is there no need to change it?" When Tang Zhen came to see that the guests had all quieted down, he stood up from his seat and walked to the front of the group of guests and called out to them.
"Boss Tang, go ahead!"
"Boss Tang, what's the answer?"
"Boss Tang, we've chosen. We won't change the answer anymore."
"Boss Tang, just say it!" "What is your new dish today?"
