“Xiaoyu, the mushroom sauce you sent is incredible!

The chefs in the store all tried it and couldn’t stop praising it…” Zhou Dong boasted endlessly.

Seeing Zhou Dong so excited, Wu Xiaoyu knew that setting up a factory to make mushroom sauce was going to be profitable, and quickly interrupted him, saying:

“With the unanimous praise from the chefs, I feel relieved halfway.

But I wonder if the general public will accept it.”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Dong stopped his excitement and asked, a bit puzzled.

Wu Xiaoyu explained, “Isn’t there a saying, ‘Whether it’s a mule or a horse, let’s take it out for a walk.’ So I thought…

could we experiment with it in the store?”

Only then did Zhou Dong realize, “I was wondering what the big deal was.

You spoke so mysteriously, it’s just a matter of promoting it in the store first!

I’ve already arranged it for you, try the dishes on the table.”

Wu Xiaoyu then picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish.

As soon as he put it in his mouth, he felt a rich and savory flavor.

“This fish?”

Zhou Dong glanced at him and made a condescending expression, saying, “The chef added some mushroom sauce when preparing the fish, which made the freshness of the fish even more intense!”

After hearing his explanation, Wu Xiaoyu took his chopsticks and poked the fish a few more times, and indeed found pieces of mushrooms.

The mushroom sauce with the fish should be regarded as a perfect match, right?

Wu Xiaoyu carefully examined the other dishes and found traces of mushroom sauce in all of them.

After tasting them one by one, he indeed felt that these dishes were more delicious than before.

“It’s really good!

It seems like I have found another way to make money!” Wu Xiaoyu said smugly.

Zhou Dong interrupted his daydream and said, “I’ve already asked the chefs to add mushroom sauce to several signature dishes.

As for whether it can be accepted by ordinary diners, we will soon find out!”

If the mushroom sauce could be accepted by ordinary diners, it would naturally be a joyful event.

But if they couldn’t accept it, wouldn’t it ruin the restaurant’s reputation?

Wouldn’t that be too risky?

Wu Xiaoyu hesitantly said, “Zhou Dong, my idea was to first add the mushroom sauce to some ordinary dishes for everyone to try.

Isn’t it a bit risky to directly add the mushrooms to the signature dishes?”

Zhou Dong didn’t mind, laughing heartily, “In my opinion, if this mushroom sauce can be accepted by you and me and can receive unanimous praise from the chefs, then there will definitely be no problems!”

“Do you think the ordinary diners’ taste buds are more particular than the chefs’?

You’re being too cautious.

Why don’t I take you downstairs to see the diners’ reactions?”

With that, the two got up and prepared to go downstairs to find out.

Just as they left the private room and were walking in the corridor on the second floor, Zhou Dong found Wu Xiaoyu’s parents dining downstairs.

He couldn’t help complaining, “Really, why didn’t you bring Uncle and Aunt to the private room?”

Wu Xiaoyu smiled without speaking.

The two of them went downstairs, and just as Zhou Dong was about to rush over to greet Wu Xiaoyu’s parents, he was stopped by Wu Xiaoyu.

“It’s not too late to go over in a bit.

Let’s first see the diners’ opinions on the mushroom sauce.” Wu Xiaoyu said as he waved to call a waiter.

Wu Xiaoyu instructed the waiter, “Find a few regular diners and ask for their opinions on today’s braised grass carp.”

The waiter responded and walked towards a few tables of regular diners.

Wu Xiaoyu then pulled Zhou Dong and sat down at an empty table.

Zhou Dong seemed to be a bit puzzled and dissatisfied with Wu Xiaoyu’s actions.

After a long silence, he finally said, “Wouldn’t it be better to greet your parents first?”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu smiled, then nodded towards his parents’ direction, indicating for Zhou Dong to observe carefully.

Zhou Dong glanced a few times but couldn’t see anything unusual.

He stared at Wu Xiaoyu, wondering what explanation he would give.

Seeing Zhou Dong still hadn’t figured it out, Wu Xiaoyu shook his head and explained, “Look, what are my parents and the table next to them doing?”

What are they doing?

Of course, they are eating, right?

Zhou Dong became even more puzzled and looked over again, carefully observing.

He noticed that beside each table stood a waiter, and the two waiters were constantly writing and drawing in their notepads.

“Stop beating around the bush!

What’s going on?”

“My parents are competing with others.

If we go over now, won’t we interrupt their…

ahem!”

Zhou Dong then realized that the two tables seemed to be constantly ordering more dishes.

What were they competing about?

How did Xiaoyu find out?

Wu Xiaoyu didn’t see it, he heard it.

With his current hearing, as long as he wanted to listen, he could hear a pin drop within a kilometer.

Just now, when Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong came downstairs, he heard the guests at the table next to his parents speaking unkindly:

“From his accent, he’s a country bumpkin, yet he comes to this restaurant to show off?

Let’s see what they’ll use to pay the bill later!

Maybe they’ll have to pawn the clothes they’re wearing, but that won’t be much either!”

The waiter, Little Hui, wanted to rebuke the rude guests but was stopped by Wu Youliang.

He calmly said, “Another order of Dongpo Pork, Braised Grass Carp, Return of the Hundred Birds, and Kung Pao Chicken!”

The guests at the neighboring table listened to his ordering while flipping through the menu.

When he finished ordering again, their faces darkened instantly.

Just those four dishes alone would cost nearly two thousand yuan!

What kind of person is this old man?

Although dressed decently, his voice sounded like a poor farmer!

Is this a competition?

The host at the neighboring table, seeing Wu Youliang acting so arrogantly, became even more dissatisfied and irritably flipped through the menu, saying to the waiter beside him, “Order the same dishes as the neighboring table, and add four servings of abalone!”

Several companions, seeing his generosity, eagerly chimed in: “I wonder if these hillbillies have ever seen abalone.”

“One serving of abalone costs 866 yuan; it’s not something anyone can afford to eat!”

The group saw that Wu Youliang remained silent and thought he was defeated, becoming increasingly arrogant and mocking:

“Hey!

Those country folks love to show off.

They can’t afford it, but they still want to order!

They might cancel the order when nobody’s looking!”

“Exactly!

I despise these paupers pretending to be rich.

Clearly poor as beggars, yet still wanting to compete with others!”

The group’s sarcastic remarks successfully angered Wang Aifeng.

She originally didn’t want to engage with them, but the more she tolerated, the more arrogant they became.

In her son’s restaurant, how could she let these people get the upper hand?
