Chapter 2 Stir-frying

"Chen'er, tell me how to deal with it." Old Man Ye had the heart to test Ye Chen, so he changed to a comfortable position and sat down.

"At present, the most tricky thing is the Ye Family Restaurant, and my opinion is to close its doors." Ye Chen's tone was calm and affirmative, showing that he was calm and unhurried, and there was a sense of indifference on his body that should not be at this age.

"Alas". Old Man Ye sighed slightly, thinking that a child is a child, and there should not be much hope.

Obviously, Old Man Ye didn't agree with what Ye Chen said, but he didn't want to dampen Ye Chen's enthusiasm, after all, this was the first suggestion Ye Chen made, but the old man thought that Ye Chen's idea was indeed not a good idea.

As soon as he heard that he was going to close down, Manager Wu was anxious, he knew that if this was the case, the Ye family would have liquidity problems in less than half a month.

"Young family master, don't do it, the Ye family restaurant is very important to the Ye family, it can't be closed, it can't be closed."

Looking at Manager Wu's eager expression and Old Man Ye's disappointed eyes, Ye Chen understood that they didn't trust him, but Ye Chen was not discouraged by this, but was full of confidence.

Where is Ye Chen's confidence? It is because he is a traverser, and because he is the vice president of a large group in the future.

The vice president of a large group, often lingering on the hotel table, although the group does not operate a hotel, but business trips, entertainment, etc., for the restaurant management and food culture around the world, the wine culture is quite understanding and research.

The study of food culture and wine culture is not because of hobbies, but because of the need to socialize, and Ye Chen's socializers are all CEOs and officials, who are frequent guests at the wine table all year round, and it is necessary to chat about some high-end, local food and wine.

"Grandpa, the Chen family used this method to slander our Ye family restaurant, it is impossible to admit it, and it can't be explained if you don't admit it, and the explanation can only get darker and darker, so you can only let the Chen family take the initiative to quit, no longer make trouble, and without the 'bitter master' who makes trouble, this matter will subside in a few days."

"Alas, it's easy to say, how long has the Chen family been thinking about it, how can it be easy to give up?" Old Man Ye thought about it for a while, and felt that it was what Ye Chen said, but the Ye family restaurant couldn't be closed, and if it was closed, it would fall into the trap of the Chen family, so that they didn't have to continue to make trouble at all.

"Grandpa, we just need to treat the other side in the way of others, plus our restaurant is closed, then the Chen family must retreat, so that we have a buffer time, and we can arrange to deal with the Chen family's next move."

Old Man Ye's face was full of doubts, and he still didn't know Ye Chen's plan, so he said, "Chen'er will talk about it in detail."

Ye Chen nodded, thought for a while and said: "We also get some people to pretend to eat the things of the Chen family restaurant and get sick, gather in front of the Chen family restaurant, plus our restaurant is closed, then the Chen family will retreat, and then the two very important points, if the next two points are done, then this matter will be solved."

"Oh, which two".

"The first is to spread the news, our grievances with the Chen family, so that everyone knows that it is not our Ye family restaurant that has a problem, but the Chen family deliberately finding fault; The second point is to announce that the closure of the Ye Family Restaurant is to renovate and launch new dishes, and when it opens, invite everyone to taste it, so that this crisis will be solved, and my Ye Family Restaurant can also use this to make a name for itself."

What Ye Chen said is not unreasonable, first of all, restaurants can only be consumed by rich families, these people have a huge network, and they soon know about the Ye family and the Chen family, if the Ye family reopens and can be recognized by them, then the influence of the Chen family on the Ye family restaurant will pass.

"Redecorate? Introducing a new menu? It's easier said than done, unless you can get a master chef." Old Man Ye knew that the so-called master chef could not be found at all, because the chef was a cheap business, and even if he did, his reputation was not obvious, and there was nowhere to find it.

"Grandpa, you don't need a master chef at all, our chef can, grandpa, please listen to me in detail."

So Ye Chen told Mr. Ye about the operation of the restaurant in the later generations, from the box to the service, inside and out, and told Mr. Ye about stir-frying.

Old Man Ye and Manager Wu, who listened, were stunned.

"Is this stir-fry really as delicious as you say?"

Ye Chen smiled, thinking that stir-fried dishes still needed to rise in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the dishes at this time were mainly cooked with tripods, although some of them were also very delicious, but most of them were not as delicious as stir-fried dishes.

The dish will be fragrant when it is fried, there will be various methods, there will be various collocations, and it will be full of color and flavor.

It's useless to say more, Ye Chen plans to use facts to prove that the stir-fry is delicious, although Old Man Ye will still be skeptical, but in the end he still chooses to believe Ye Chen and do what Ye Chen says.

After Ye Chen left, he went to prepare the cooking utensils, the wok needed to be made, and the stove also had to be new, fortunately, it was not a time-consuming thing, and it could be completed within two days.

Early the next morning, the Ye family restaurant was still surrounded by a group of people, claiming to ask for an explanation.

However, the Ye Family Restaurant is closed, but an announcement was posted: The Ye Family Restaurant will be renovated and new dishes will be launched when it reopens, so stay tuned.

For those who make trouble, the Ye family doesn't want to deal with it at all.

At the same time, the Chen family's restaurant was also surrounded by a group of "diners", who also said that they had a stomachache after eating the things of the Chen family's restaurant, and they wanted to find an explanation from the Chen family.

Of course, the Chen family understood what was going on, and hurriedly reported it to the head of the Chen family.

The head of the Chen family, named Chen Ming, is a middle-aged man in his forties, with neatly combed hair on his forehead, and a shrewdness in his eyes, often stroking his beard and smiling evilly, which makes people feel sinister.

At this time, Chen Ming was listening to the report of his subordinates and already knew the actions of the Ye family.

"Dad, the Ye family also learns from us and surrounds our Chen family restaurant, what are we going to do."

If Ye Chen was here, he would definitely recognize it, this was Chen Qi, the young master of the Chen family who beat him.

"Haha, the Ye family can only come up with this kind of little trick, this time it is not only my Chen family that we have to deal with, we can afford it, the Ye family can't afford it, since the Ye family restaurant has been closed, there is no need to continue to make trouble."

"Dad, won't this be too cheap for the Ye family."

"Hmph, cheap, in order to bring down the Ye family, our Chen family has made a bloody investment, this time not only will the Ye family perish, but the property of the Ye family is also our Chen family." After speaking, Chen Ming showed that signature evil smile again.

"Then when the time comes, I will let the young master of the Ye family, Ye Chen, live better than die, and dare to rob me of a woman!" After speaking, Chen Qi's face was full of ruthlessness, Lao Tzu is not an old man, and his son is not a good stubble.

Ye Chen didn't know the plans of the Chen family and his son, and he didn't have time to care about it so much, he had a lot to do now, arranging the decoration of the restaurant, guiding the blacksmith to build a wok, transforming the stove, and very importantly, collecting ingredients.

During this period, many ingredients were not discovered, and some things were known to be edible, but they were not delicious when cooked, but they were stir-fried and delicious.

In two days, a lot of ingredients were collected, the pot was built, the stove was transformed, and the next step was to cook.

"Incense, really fragrant".

"Yes, the young master doesn't know what to cook in it, it's too fragrant."

"Lao Wang, your saliva is dripping."

"Hmph, Lao Liu, aren't you too."

..

Ye Chen was cooking in the kitchen, except for the one who lit the fire and the one who started the fire, the other cooks and subordinates were waiting outside the kitchen.

The fragrance of Ye Chen's stir-fry came out, and people gathered outside the kitchen to smell the fragrance.

Except for a few of the cooked dishes, most of them are not very fragrant, let alone fragrant.

Although Ye Chen is not a chef, it is no problem to cook some home-cooked food.

After a while, a few delicate side dishes came up.

"Grandpa, you eat slowly, eat slowly".

"Uh-huh"

"Manager Wu, there is no need to worry."

"Uh-huh"

The answer to Ye Chen was still "uh-huh" twice, because both of their mouths were stuffed with vegetables.

Both of them are usually serious people, but they didn't expect to sacrifice their image for the sake of food.

The two of them are now alive like children seeing food, gobbling up, regardless of their image.

Ye Chen watched from the sidelines, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he already knew that stir-fried food had conquered the people of the Han Dynasty, and through promotion, it would soon become popular throughout the Han Dynasty and be sought after by the upper class of the Han Dynasty.

At present, the Ye family's restaurant has begun to be renovated, and when the decoration is completed, it will launch delicious stir-fried dishes.

Of course, during the renovation period, a series of training is still needed for the Ye family's cooks.

It's not difficult to learn how to stir-fry, but it's not so easy to be able to make a variety of dishes.

The combination of ingredients, the mastery of heat, the production and use of seasonings, etc., all need to be studied.

Simply Ye Chen can teach some dishes, many delicacies Ye Chen has eaten, and he has also simply understood the method, as long as he teaches it to professional chefs and lets them study it well, as long as he is not afraid of waste, just try it a few more times.

Old Man Ye and Steward Wu finally couldn't eat it, and they patted their stomachs and exclaimed.

"Grandpa, how's it going, isn't it amazing".

"Uh-huh, awesome, awesome." Although Old Man Ye didn't know what it meant, he still said while wiping the oil on his mouth.

"Manager Wu, according to your estimates, if our Ye Family Restaurant launches this stir-fried dish, will it be very popular?"

Ye Chen was full of confidence, and he knew the result just now when he saw Steward Wu's appearance, but he just asked more.

"Young master, it must be a big seller, I'm thinking about the popularity of our Ye family restaurant." Mr. Wu smiled with satisfaction.

"Alas". After listening to Manager Wu's words, Old Man Ye did not laugh, but frowned, looking worried.

"Grandpa, what's wrong".

"The decoration of the Ye family restaurant will take half a month, but now the Ye family can no longer support it, and the cash will be in a hurry and the funds will be broken."

Old Man Ye's words made the whole house fall silent, yes, although stir-frying will be on fire and will bring huge profits to the Ye family, however, all the industries of the Ye family have been blocked, and they are about to fall into a crisis.
