"You didn't tell me to dip in osmanthus honey just now!" Ge Yunzhang complained dissatisfiedly, then picked up a piece of shredded sweet potato and dipped some osmanthus honey into his mouth.

"You don't like sweets, and it will be even sweeter if you dip it in sweet-scented osmanthus honey, so I didn't tell you."

Unexpectedly, Ge Yunzhang said after eating shredded sweet potatoes dipped in sweet-scented osmanthus honey, "It's a bit sweet, but these two flavors blend together, just right, very good."

Although Ke Hanxue is very confident in her cooking skills, she heard that Ge Yunzhang had such a high evaluation of sweets, and she didn't know how much water was in them, so she automatically ignored his opinion and said to Nie Jianzhong: "Uncle Jianzhong, You try it."

Nie Jianzhong picked up a shredded sweet potato, dipped it in sweet-scented osmanthus honey and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he was full of praise: "Well, it's good, it's good! It's sweet but not greasy, and it's crispy, but what material is this thing made of? "

"Uncle Jianzhong, can't you taste it?" Ke Hanxue asked with her lips curled up.

Nie Jianzhong thought for a while, and said, "The taste is somewhat familiar, but I really can't guess what material it is made of."

"It's sweet potatoes!" Ke Hanxue announced the answer.

what? !

"Is it made of sweet potatoes?!" Nie Jianzhong was dumbfounded. Where did the sweet potatoes come from in the restaurant?
"That's right, the real name of this thing is Candied Sweet Potatoes, but I gave it a new name called 'Inexhaustible Birds Returning to Nest'!"

"No, young mistress, if the guests find out that it's made of sweet potatoes, I'm worried..."

Nie Jian showed hesitation. With such a nice name for such a cheap thing, plus this dish, if no one reminds him, there should be no customers who would dare to think about sweet potatoes, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, just ten thousand. One, if it is really known that the restaurant uses sweet potatoes for cooking, wouldn't that be a blow to its own brand?
"Uncle Jianzhong, this 'Birds with Thousands of Threads Returning to Their Nests' is not the main dish, so I classify it as a dessert. I believe no one will be stupid enough to make a fuss about desserts." Ge Yunzhang said firmly.

Although they didn't say it clearly, several people have already started to be wary of the "Ke Ying Men Restaurant" opposite.

Nie Jianzhong thought about it, yes!If people want to attack them, they will definitely look for the pain points of the restaurant to attack, such as bacon and tonic wine.

Thinking of this, Nie Jianzhong felt relieved.

but--

"My lord, the restaurant opposite is also open for twelve hours."

Hearing this, Ke Hanxue frowned: "Is this the rhythm they want to fight against us?"

There are still a few big restaurants in this county, but their "Fulin Restaurant" is the only restaurant that is open all night, and the "Keyingmen Restaurant" on the opposite side comes to buy a lot of bacon and tonic wine as soon as they come, and they also steal their dishes. Now It was open all night again, obviously aimed at them.

"Don't worry, just wait and see."

As soon as Ge Yunzhang finished speaking, an apprentice from the big kitchen ran over in a panic.

"My lord, Young Mistress, Shopkeeper Nie, something is wrong!"

"Why are you so panicked?" Shopkeeper Nie frowned and asked them, how many times he had warned them that there was no need to make a big fuss.

"Master Nie, Chef Zhao, Chef Yu, and Chef Su packed up and left!" the apprentice wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, looking very anxious.

"Gone? Where did you go?" Nie Jianzhong didn't realize it for a moment. Chef Zhao is the chef in charge of the evening shift, and Chef Yu and Chef Su are the chefs in charge of the day shift. What happened to leave together?But why didn't they come to ask for leave in advance?
Seeing the apprentice's face full of bewilderment, Ge Yunzhang and Ke Hanxue looked at each other, their faces becoming serious.

"He was... poached by the high price from the opposite restaurant!" The apprentice's face turned pale, and the three chefs of the restaurant had all left. What should they do?

"What did you say?!"

Nie Jianzhong's complexion changed. He, who has always acted calmly, was no longer calm now. He grabbed the apprentice's collar tightly, with a face full of disbelief.

Those three chefs were hired by my son from other places at a high price, so how could they just leave?

This is definitely not true!
Nie Jianzhong couldn't believe it, nor was he willing to believe it.

At this time, a waiter in the lobby also rushed into the small kitchen: "Shopkeeper Nie, the guests outside are rushing to serve the food, and they are about to make a fuss!"

"I'm going to bring these three bastards back!" Nie Jianzhong almost got angry, and walked out angrily.

Ge Yunzhang frowned, pulled Nie Jianzhong back, and persuaded: "Uncle Jianzhong, even if you go there, you may not be able to call these people back. The most urgent thing is to explain the guests outside first. You can deal with it first. I will come The kitchen is going to make arrangements."

"My lord... hey!" Nie Jianzhong also knew that there was no time for him to waste now, so he sighed and said, "My lord, I'm going to appease the guests."

"Aren't there two sous chefs in the kitchen? They're gone too?" Ge Yunzhang and Ke Hanxue asked the apprentice as they walked towards the big kitchen.

The apprentice followed closely behind the two of them, and replied in a low voice: "Young master, the assistant chef has not left."

Ge Yunzhang nodded, indicating that he knew.

As soon as they walked into the big kitchen, two sous chefs, eight or nine apprentices, and two handymen stood side by side.

Ge Yunzhang frowned again, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing, didn't you hear the guests outside rushing to serve the food? You two—"

Ge Yunzhang pointed to the two men dressed as sous chefs standing in front and said, "Get on the stove and cook, hurry up!"

After Ge Yunzhang finished his orders, he saw that the two sous chefs didn't move at all, with nervous expressions on their faces.

Ke Hanxue was very puzzled. It stands to reason that the chef is gone, and they should be happy to have this opportunity as sous chefs. They can't wait to show their skills on the stove, but why do they seem so embarrassed?
"You also want to imitate some of the chefs and leave the restaurant, don't you?!" Seeing the two sous chefs not moving, Ge Yunzhang was also angry at this moment.

"My lord, we didn't intend to leave the restaurant!" The two sous chefs said with mournful faces. They dragged their families here because of the good treatment in the restaurant. If they really left the restaurant, what would they do to support their family? young or old?

"Since you don't want to leave, why don't you go to the stove, don't you know that the pot is blowing up outside?" Ge Yunzhang's tone became better.

"Young master, although we are the sous chefs of the restaurant, we have never cooked some of the restaurant's signature dishes. We are afraid... afraid that we may not be able to make them well."

The older sous chef murmured, and the other younger sous chef also looked panic-stricken. Both of them were worried that their boss would fire them when they heard this, but they didn't dare to hide it, because They really can't cook the restaurant's signature dishes.

After hearing his words, both Ge Yunzhang and Ke Hanxue were stunned.
