Chapter 1216 - 125 Participants (Fourth Round)
She laughed, Lin Yuan said, "Shopkeeper Xiao need not worry. I’m just giving everyone an advance notice. I’m not as easygoing as Young Master Xia. Being a business person, naturally, I hope that my restaurant’s business soars. And what’s the most important thing for a restaurant? Correct, delicious food is the most important factor in retaining customers. If the servers attract customers with their enthusiasm but there’s no tasty food to keep them there, wouldn’t that be futile?"
What Lin Yuan talked about was basic knowledge, known to anyone who truly worked in a restaurant. However, it was clear that there were some chefs slacking off.
As soon as she finished speaking, a leading chef standing at the front showed a look of disdain and pouted his lips high, as if he was mumbling something to himself.
Lin Yuan didn’t pay him any attention, but she had already taken note of this person in her heart.
Across the grand hall’s corridor, she happened to see a tree in the backyard, full of plum blossoms in full bloom, although it was already at the end of the flowering phase and the blossoms would soon fall.
Changing her train of thought, Lin Yuan pointed at the tree full of plum blossoms and said with a smile, "Just right, today let’s see what skills our master chefs have. Do you see the plum blossoms outside? I’ll use these plum blossoms as the theme, and I’d like each of the master chefs to make me a specialty dish. Don’t ask me what dish to make or how to make it, my only requirement is that it must relate to the plum blossoms. In two hours, I’ll be here waiting for all of you."
After finishing, she spread her hands, raised her eyebrows high, and made a welcoming gesture.
Dishes related to plum blossoms? The six master chefs all furrowed their brows and muttered to themselves. However, because Lin Yuan had mentioned earlier that there might be layoffs among them, none of them voiced their thoughts, as this was a matter that affected whether they could continue to stay here; this was not to be taken lightly.
