When they arrived outside a presidential suite in the hotel, Liu Yi was welcomed into the suite by a middle-aged white man with a face full of stubble.
The other party was his business partner, Douglas.
As soon as he entered, he heard a young man video-chatting with a blond woman. “Liz, you have to believe me. All that publicity in Chinatown is fake. Chinese food really isn’t that good. The food made by their best Chinese chef is too different from what I make.”
“Liu, I’m sorry. Lasda is too full of himself.” Douglas apologized, but he was clearly smiling.
For someone like him who dealt in food materials, his son’s identity as a three-star Michelin master was a big plus.
After all, there were only a few Michelin three-star masters in the world.
And defeating the most powerful Chinese chef could also increase their reputation. It was also beneficial.
After all, Liu Yi had personally found the most powerful Chinese chef and said it himself.
Liu Yi frowned and said, “Douglas, this is nothing. However, before you leave, I want to treat you to another delicious meal tomorrow.”
Douglas smiled. “Your enthusiasm is hard to refuse, Liu. I’ll look forward to tomorrow’s delicacies.”
After Liu Yi informed Douglas, he left the hotel again.
After Liu Yi left, Lasda smiled and said, “Father, it seems that your Chinese friend is indignant about his previous failure and thinks that a Chinese chef can defeat my culinary skills. He has found another chef, right?”
Douglas nodded. “I’m not stupid. Naturally, I saw what Liu was up to. Then tomorrow, I’ll show your skills and make Liu give up completely.”
“Don’t worry!” Lasda said with a smile. “After all, there are only about 10 three-star Michelin masters like me in the world.”
…
The next day.
Liu Yi made arrangements for the company in the morning and went to the Lanhui Hotel to pick up Douglas and Lasda. Then, he spent some time at Qinglin Villa.
The car stopped.
Liu Yi got out of the car with Douglas and Lasda.
As soon as Lasda got out of the car, he made a strange surprised sound. “This seems to be a scenic spot. Uncle Liu, the delicacies you mentioned can’t be in this scenic spot, right? Then I might be disappointed.”
“Real gourmet restaurants never appear in scenic spots. Besides, scenic spots are not a good environment to eat in. Scenic spots have always been the first place to exclude top-notch Western food.”
“Red wine, steak, foie gras sauce, booths, candlelight, light music… The environment, the taste, the wine, the mood. For a good restaurant and good food, nothing is missing. It’s the essence of food that has to have it all.”
Liu Yi did not refute. It was true that Western food was more stylish, but they were also a group of barbarians pretending to be gentlemen. Moreover, after being tricked by Old Yang, he was in no position to refute now.
Old Yang’s son’s face was about to swell from being slapped.
He believed this old fool.
In the original hall of Qinglin Villa.
Master Lin looked at the wild goods, bass, and loach in front of him and said nervously, “Boss, that’s a three-star Michelin master. You won’t ask me to cook this meal, right? I can’t do it. You have to do it yourself.”
After knowing that he was going to cook for a Michelin three-star master today and educate him, he did not want to ruin the villa’s reputation.
After all, he was a three-star Michelin master. Although Chinese and Western chefs had always not gotten along, as long as he reached world-class culinary skills, he was really not someone a chef like him could compare to.
He knew his limits.
“Master Lin, you have to believe in yourself. What kind of culinary skills does he have?” Qin Lin was not worried at all.
Since Liu Yi could come looking for him for help, it meant that the culinary skills of a Michelin three-star master would not be better than the dishes made by Master Lin with Tasty +2 ingredients.
After all, Liu Yi had eaten Master Lin’s Supreme Set meal before. He must have a comparison in his heart.
If Master Lin could not compare to the other party, Liu Yi would not have thought of looking for them.
As they were talking, Liu Yi arrived and walked in with two foreigners.
Douglas followed Liu Yi into the hall with his son, Lasda. He frowned at his surroundings. His first thought was that this place was too lousy.
Lasda frowned, but said boldly, “This doesn’t even look like a restaurant. Is there really any good food in a place like this? If the standards of good food are so low, doesn’t that make anyone a chef?”
Most importantly, he said this in Chinese that he was not familiar with. Qin Lin and Master Lin could hear the contempt and provocation.
They both frowned at Lasda.
Master Lin whispered, “Boss, this foreign young man is too arrogant.”
“President Qin.” Liu Yi hurriedly walked to Qin Lin’s side and said, “I want to entertain Mr. Douglas and his son, Lasda. Sorry to trouble you.”
