Chapter 722: 717 Five-digit restaurant

"Alright, you go out too," Gu Chen said to Old Yuan at that moment.

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, Old Yuan was momentarily stunned.

He had not expected Gu Chen would also ask him to leave.

"Ah, is that necessary?"

He didn’t quite understand why Gu Chen acted this way.

"Absolutely necessary, hurry up and go. I like to be in peace and alone when I cook," Gu Chen said, casually citing a reason that even sounded a bit lame.

Old Yuan sighed after hearing this, but in the end, he respected Gu Chen’s wishes and went out directly.

Once everyone had left, Gu Chen calmed his mind and hurriedly fetched some Spiritual Spring water.

What dish should he make? Gu Chen hadn’t really decided, but he felt it should be something simple.

Bringing out something like cola chicken wings didn’t seem appropriate, as not everyone might accept it, even though it could pass as a snack.

If it was like a competition, then he should make dishes that cater to the masses’ taste.

Therefore, at that moment, an idea immediately came to Gu Chen’s mind.

Ordinary dishes were too troublesome to make; it would be better to make a soup.

With soup, one could make a lot, so every guest present could taste it. If he made a dish, only a large pot would allow every guest to have a portion.

And when making soup, he had to choose those with a wide acceptance level.

Something like hot and spicy soup, though famous, wouldn’t be accepted by many people.

So at that point, only one dish came to mind for Gu Chen: Seaweed Egg Drop Soup.

It was simple to make, not a hassle, and widely accepted by the general public.

Just then, Gu Chen suddenly had another thought.

Now he had not only Spiritual Spring water but also hot spring water.

Could the hot spring water be used for cooking?

According to the system, even the hot spring water could cure diseases.

But upon closer consideration, Gu Chen thought that the hot spring water might have special therapeutic effects, but it wasn’t necessarily tasty. Comparatively speaking, the Spiritual Spring water was more suitable.

He searched around the restaurant and quickly found seaweed and eggs.

Making a pot of soup was quick and didn’t take too long. He busied himself alone in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, outside the kitchen, everyone was filled with anticipation.

After all, they had never seen such a wager and found it very interesting.

"My brother’s cooking skills are quite amazing, and many of you might not have heard of it.

But let me tell you, there is a shop in Chuan City called Qiwei Vegetarian.

The average price of each dish there can reach tens of yuan.

Yet it’s packed with a queue every day, all thanks to my brother’s cooking. He’s well known in the local area.

"So many restaurants have been put out of business by my brother."

p>At that moment, Old Yuan was putting a lot of effort into promoting to all the people present.

Unfortunately, while Gu Chen’s restaurant did have a significant impact locally, not many people knew about it from further afield.

"You guys over there can’t just be all talk, right? I’ve never heard of such a place," said the girl disdainfully.

"That just shows you know too little," Old Yuan stated bluntly.

At this moment, many onlookers furrowed their brows.

All of them felt that Old Yuan’s words were a bit too presumptuous.

However, just then, Xiong Qianyang stepped forward.

"I’ve heard about this restaurant, and I also know the young brother who works there. His cooking is indeed excellent, and everyone who has gone there is full of praise, without exception. I’ve never heard any negative reviews about their dishes."

The surrounding onlookers were all somewhat astonished after hearing this.

After all, this was Xiong Qianyang speaking.

If even Xiong Qianyang gave such a high evaluation of their restaurant, it was enough to prove that this establishment indeed had something special going for it.

The girl, hearing this, was also stunned, not expecting Xiong Qianyang to offer his support at this moment.

But just then, another voice cut in.

"I think the cuisine from such a small place might be more suited to the local folk’s tastes, but take Haicheng’s hotel, for example—it caters to guests from all around the world. Their dishes can be accepted by international patrons, so I’d say their hotel has the upper hand."

The speaker was none other than Tong Jingxin, who Old Yuan had previously introduced to Gu Chen.

Old Yuan didn’t expect this guy to actually back up the hotel.

Standing nearby, Xiong Qianyang just smiled and didn’t say a word in response.

It seemed as though he didn’t want to compete with Tong Jingxin.

Everyone also unanimously agreed that what Tong Jingxin said seemed to make more sense.

Indeed, many restaurants were very successful locally because their dishes matched the local flavor, but when it really came down to competition, they couldn’t compare to the genuinely established restaurants.

"We’ll see who’s the horse and who’s the mule once we take them out for a stroll. I know my brother’s cooking and it’s definitely much better than this hotel’s offerings. Moreover, his restaurant has only opened in our local area so far.

And now, the daily income can reach nearly ten thousand yuan."

After he said this, many were taken aback.

Everyone was completely surprised that such a small restaurant could earn a five-figure sum every day.

To the guests present, a five-figure sum wasn’t a big deal, they could earn that too.

But for a restaurant to earn this amount, that was somewhat inconceivable.

Even a regular hotel earning such figures every day would be quite an accomplishment, but how could a restaurant possibly earn so much?

"Anyone can boast. Forget five figures, I might as well say six figures," Tong Jingxin scoffed in disbelief, even starting to mock.

However, at that moment, Xiong Qianyang spoke up, "As for the income of this restaurant, I do have some understanding. I’ve had people investigate before, and indeed, the restaurant’s daily income is nearly ten thousand yuan."

After he said this, the expressions around the room instantly changed.

If it were anyone else, they might not have believed it.

But if these words came from Xiong Qianyang, then the credibility was significantly higher.

Because Xiong Qianyang had no reason to lie.

Upon hearing this, Tong Jingxin’s brows furrowed immediately.

A restaurant that could earn a five-figure sum every day was certainly not ordinary.

"Over these years abroad, I’ve been to many hotels and restaurants. Earning five figures is really nothing special, just average."

He made this claim as if carrying an air of superiority, as though going overseas was something quite extraordinary.

"Try it and you’ll know," Xiong Qianyang said, not wanting to continue arguing with him.
