Chapter 986: Chapter 982: Becoming the Head Chef

Chen Yang nodded, "It’s definitely a lot better than Lin Hui’s place. Looks like this trip was worth it."

Chen Yang specifically wanted to try the wild mountain beef this time to get a sense of its taste, making it easier for the upcoming restaurant opening.

Now, savoring such delicious wild mountain beef, he felt quite satisfied.

"Miss, can you bring the rest of the dishes faster? One by one isn’t enough for us to eat." Chen Yang looked at the empty bowls and said.

While Yang Ruoxi complimented the taste with Chen Yang, the woman from the restaurant had been overhearing from the side.

"Haha, alright, customer, I’ll go to the kitchen and urge them to speed up the serving." The woman nodded with a smile and then continued to the kitchen.

Chen Yang drank his beverage while waiting for the woman to serve the dishes.

After urging once, the speed of serving the other dishes improved a bit.

Chen Yang and the three ladies enjoyed their meal even more.

After eating for about half an hour, all four were quite satisfied having tried all the dishes.

After finishing six or seven dishes, they were all full, but still felt a sense of wanting more.

Because the flavors of these dishes were truly unique, none of them had ever tasted such special beef before.

"Chen Yang, how’s the place I recommended, pretty good, right?" Yang Ruoxi said somewhat proudly.

Chen Yang leaned back in his chair, patted his full stomach, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it was quite good! Thanks to you, I’ll foot the bill this time."

"Haha, then I won’t stand on ceremony!"

Yang Ruoxi immediately agreed with a laugh.

Chen Yang shook his head with a smile and said no more.

After resting in the chair for about ten minutes, he stood up.

"It’s getting late, I’ll go to the backyard to pay the bill."

After speaking to the three ladies, Chen Yang turned around and left his seat, heading for the backyard.

This restaurant is a typical rural house, its layout similar to Yang Caiyun’s river fish restaurant.

The front hall is the restaurant, and the back hall is the kitchen.

As soon as Chen Yang walked in, he saw an old man in his fifties cutting beef in the kitchen.

Chen Yang watched the old man, and the old man seemed to sense someone behind him, so he turned around to look at Chen Yang.

The two exchanged glances for a couple of seconds, and the old man suddenly smiled.

"Finished eating?"

"Yes, ready to pay the bill," Chen Yang replied.

"Alright, customer, just a moment." Upon hearing about the bill, the old man put down the knife, walked to the stairs, and shouted upstairs, "Daughter, come down and do the accounts."

"Okay, dad."

A reply echoed from above.

The old man smiled at Chen Yang, "Dear customer, please wait a moment, my daughter will be right down."

"Alright."

Chen Yang leaned against the door and nodded.

After speaking, the old man went back to cutting beef on the chopping board.

Since entering, Chen Yang had only seen the woman and the old man, which aroused his curiosity.

The restaurant was actually quite large, so how could it only be run by these two?

If there were many customers, could these two handle it?

Curious, Chen Yang walked over to the old man while waiting for the woman to come down to do the accounts.

"Old man, is it just you and your daughter running this place? No other staff?" Chen Yang leaned against the wall and asked curiously.

The old man had a very kind face, always with a smile.

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s question, he glanced at him, continued chopping, and replied, "There used to be staff, but we’ve decided to stop these days, so we’ve let them all go."

"Stopped? Is the business bad?" Chen Yang guessed.

The old man smiled and nodded, "Yes, business isn’t good. This place is too remote, hardly anyone comes, so we decided not to keep it open."

The old man was quite easy-going, even talking about closing the restaurant without any emotions, still smiling.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang felt a bit unfortunate.

After all, the restaurant’s flavors were really good.

If it were in a better location, business wouldn’t be bad.

"Old man, did you make all the dishes we had? With such great skills, why not open a shop in the county? Business would be booming." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Upon hearing Chen Yang praise his skills, the old man’s smile grew deeper.

"It’s not that I haven’t thought about opening a shop in the county, it’s just that I don’t have the funds; otherwise, I’d have gone long ago instead of opening a restaurant in this desolate place." The old man chuckled playfully.

Chen Yang was amused by the old man.

At the same time, he began to form a plan.

If this old man’s skills are so good, hiring him as the head chef for his new restaurant would surpass Lin Hui in no time.

If they stop here, it would truly waste their skills.

Leaning against the wall, Chen Yang watched the old man chopping meat for a while and then suddenly spoke, "Old man, how about I fund a shop and hire you as the head chef?"

Chen Yang spoke directly, expressing his desire to hire the old man as the head chef.

The old man was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

He clearly didn’t react immediately.

But when he came to his senses, he shook his head, feeling that Chen Yang was joking.

"Haha, customer, you’re joking. I’m too old to be a head chef." The old man replied with a smile, continuing to chop meat without taking Chen Yang seriously.

Chen Yang saw that the old man didn’t reject the idea but thought it was a joke, so he seriously continued, "Old man, I’m serious. My new shop is preparing to open and needs a head chef. If you’re willing to go, we can discuss the salary."

"Originally, I came today to see the restaurant’s craft, but upon hearing your excellent skills would go unused..."

"That’s why I want to hire you as my head chef; it would be a shame to waste your good skills."

Chen Yang said these words calmly but with seriousness and sincerity.

The old man initially thought Chen Yang was joking, but hearing his serious tone, he began to take it seriously.

"Well..."

"Customer, sorry to keep you waiting; let me help you with the accounts." Just as the old man was hesitating, the woman suddenly came down from upstairs and spoke to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang heard her and glanced at the woman, then told the old man, "Old man, I’m serious about this. Think it over. I’ll leave my contact info with your daughter, and you can reach out when you’ve made up your mind."

Having said his piece, Chen Yang left the kitchen and followed the woman at the staircase to settle the bill outside.

The meal cost over three hundred yuan.

It was quite affordable.

After paying, Chen Yang asked the woman for a paper and pen, wrote down his phone number, and handed it to her.

"Here’s my contact information, pass it to your dad." Chen Yang said.

The woman looked at the note in confusion, not understanding its purpose.

By the time she understood, Chen Yang had already left the restaurant with the three ladies.

Watching Chen Yang’s retreating figure, she hesitated to chase after him, so she hurriedly took the note to the kitchen.

"Dad, this is the contact information left by the guest earlier..."
