Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Feeling Ashamed of Oneself



Han Dongli looked up blankly, didn\'t say much, and walked over leaning on his cane.

Chu Hong hurried to get a clean set of utensils and served Han Dongli a bowl of rice.

Han Dongli had just sat down when he was shocked by the sumptuous meal in front of him.

"Is this what you normally eat for your employee meal?"

Wang Dan, who was sitting close by, couldn\'t help but widen her eyes, "Are you dissatisfied with our employee meal, old sir?"

The question was obviously charged, as Wang Dan considered their employee meal to be the best in the world.

Han Dongli waved his hands repeatedly, "That\'s not what I mean! Your employee meal is too lavish; it includes dishes from all the major cuisines, and even the rice is made with great care."

Chen Yu coughed lightly, "It\'s just the leftover ingredients from the day, made casually, nothing special."

Han Dongli sighed softly, "Chen, at your age, it\'s the time to be competitive and full of vigor, yet the wisdom and demeanor you show have won me over!"

A thick booklet was then placed on the table by Han Dongli.

"These are lost recipes I\'ve collated over the years. A precious sword is meant for a hero, and now, it seems there\'s no one more worthy of this recipe book than you."

Chen Yu was slightly taken aback and politely stood up to receive the recipe book.

But when he browsed through it, he found that the so-called lost recipes recorded within were all included in the system\'s array of dishes.

In other words, there was no such thing as lost recipes for him; even if there were, the system would automatically complete them for him.

"Old sir, actually, the lost recipes recorded here, I can make almost all of them!"

Chen Yu put the booklet away and respectfully returned it.

Han Dongli was completely stunned, "Impossible, these are recipes I\'ve compiled from over thirty years of travel around the world, and you\'re not even thirty years old yet, these lost recipes..."

Chen Yu cut him off, "Ancient dishes varied greatly in their preparation due to historical and geographical reasons from the modern ones!"

"The lost recipes you\'ve noted in this recipe book are modern interpretations of ancient dishes, or to put it simply, they are home-cooked meals handed down from farmers."

For Han Dongli, this revelation was like a bolt from the blue; what he had painstakingly collected over thirty years amounted to nothing more than common homestyle dishes in Chen Yu\'s eyes.

Before he could grasp what had happened, Chen Yu pushed a plate of deep-fried fish fillets in front of him.

"Peony fish fillets have been documented since the Warring States period as a part of the state banquet of the Chu kingdom, and there are many ways to prepare it to this day! Mine is a homestyle version, just that I didn\'t have time to shape it into a peony."

Han Dongli\'s eyes widened in shock. Peony fish fillets were a signature dish in his recipe collection.

Only a very few people in the world could prepare this dish.

Yet, in Chen Yu\'s place, it was merely a dish for the employee meal.

Han Dongli\'s face was full of shame, "I have lived in vain for over sixty years!"

With a heavy sigh, he didn\'t linger, but took up his cane and shuffled out of the shop.

"Is the old gentleman alright? Why does he look so soulless?" Chu Hong asked, full of confusion.

Li Gang sighed softly, "A lifelong belief, so mercilessly erased, it\'s tragic!"

Wang Qingshan snorted coldly, "These so-called gourmets are nothing but people using the media to hype their own fame, thinking their words alone can exchange a lifetime of fame and fortune!"

Ning Kai laughed a few times, "If we\'re really talking about cooking skills, this Mr. Han probably can\'t compare to any of us here, except for his sharp tongue, that is."

Chen Yu glanced at the door, didn\'t say much, and after all, once they were in his place, they had to follow his rules.

Mr. Han\'s actions today were indeed a bit excessive.

And before, Chen Yu had read news about Han Dongli, which mostly involved the old guy ruining other people\'s businesses.

In Chen Yu\'s view, such a person was of no use to the culinary world, on the contrary, he was a disaster.

After dinner, and a quick cleanup, Chen Yu took Tong Ya and Chen Guang back to Watermoon One.

Since coming back from the Live or Die scene overnight yesterday, Chen Yu hadn\'t rested and was truly exhausted.

After a quick shower, he returned to his room and fell asleep.

The next morning at six, Chen Yu got out of bed, still groggy.

Tong Ya and Chen Guang had gone to the shop early, and Tuan Tuan had woken up early too, practicing dancing in front of the TV.

Li Lan busied herself cleaning up the house on her own.

Chen Yu exchanged a few words with Tuan Tuan and then drove to the shop.

Unexpectedly, there was already a long line at the door of the shop.

Chen Yu frowned, usually at this time the shop would be bustling, but it had never formed such a long queue like today.

After parking the car, Chen Yu hurried into the shop.

Almost all the customers were gathered in the free supply area, taking a bowl of porridge or soy milk before heading to the second floor.

"Old Chen, our shop is almost catching up with the bubble tea shop!" Li Gang leaned at the counter door, face full of smiles.

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, subconsciously looking across at the convenience store.

He found that there was nobody at the bubble tea window over there.

He had anticipated this scene; it\'s obvious that when one place offers better-tasting drinks than the other, and for free, people know what to choose.

"Increase the amount for free supply as appropriate today!"

Chen Yu said casually and then entered the kitchen.

The reason why Yuanyi Bubble Tea had spread throughout Suzhou City so quickly was that they had utilized the convenience stores\' locations.

Convenience stores were generally located where there was a high flow of people, using this, bubble tea shops could save a large amount of investment.

But starting from today, centered on Chen Yu\'s shop, all Yuanyi Bubble Tea stores were hit hard.

The best stores had their sales cut in half, and like the store opposite Chen Yu\'s, so far, they hadn\'t made a single transaction.

Moreover, in all the major social media in Suzhou City, one could see promotions about the free soy milk.

Plus, with Chen Yu\'s store already being a popular spot in Suzhou City, its influence had greatly increased.

These free supplies also brought a larger customer flow to Chen Yu\'s shop.

Even though most people came for the word "free," when faced with such delicious offerings, they felt somewhat embarrassed not to buy something else.

However, Chen Yu\'s shop had long covered within a ten-kilometer radius, almost all customer traffic, so even though sales increased, there wasn\'t a very noticeable surge.
