Chapter 58 -58 Why am I so good to you

“Dengfeng Mustard Shreds, Jing Mustard Mixed with Water Cucumber, Light Oil Olive Dish.”

Dish after dish of unique breakfast items were served in sequence, each accompanied by a person introducing the dish:

“Steamed Baby Chestnut Pumpkin, Truffle and Scallop Steamed Egg, Golden Zucchini Stuffed with Steamed Yam and Water Chestnut Lily.”

“Crab Paste Mixed Wonton, Abalone Thousand Layer Swallow Cake, Four-color Crystal Shumai.”

“French Lemon Tart, Osmanthus Fresh Fruit Jelly Salad, Fig and Purple Sweet Potato Salmon Crab Stick Jelly.”

Not to mention Xiao Meier, even Chen Cheng had never seen such exquisitely presented and abundant breakfast.

None of the dishes were in large servings, mostly just a bite or so, but this meal even surpassed the dinner Chen Cheng had here that night.

“Mr.

Jin, here’s your soybean drink and scorched bread ring,” said the waiter, serving Mr.

Jin’s preferred item separately.

Mr.

Jin nodded slightly, smiling, “You youngsters probably don’t fancy this, so I didn’t prepare any for you.

Feel free to try the dishes.”

Xiao Meier had just lightly tasted the Steamed Baby Chestnut Pumpkin, and its marvelous delicate texture instantly reminded her of the taste of watermelon from the night before.

Chen Cheng too noticed something different.

Initially, he thought that pairing crab paste with wonton was already heavenly, but when he bit into it, he discovered that the filling was made of crab meat too, adding freshness on top of freshness.

They exchanged glances and turned their gaze towards Mr.

Jin.

“How is it?

Does the taste meet your expectations?” asked Mr.

Jin.

He specifically pointed out the delicately shaped Swan Cake, “You must try this dish, compare it with the signature dish of the Guangzhou White Swan Hotel.”

They each carefully took one, the pastry about half the size of a palm was so beautifully crafted it looked like an art piece, making them unsure where to start eating it.

But once it was in their mouth, the crispy texture was unforgettable.

Chen Cheng remarked, “Mr.

Jin, your kitchen skills are top-notch!”

Mr.

Jin laughed heartily, his gaze resting on Xiao Meier, “Xiao Er, are the skills of the chefs doing the slicing, cold dishes, hot dishes, and dessert preparation up to the mark?”

As far as Xiao Meier was concerned, the most high-end restaurant she had ever been to was the one she previously visited with Chen Cheng.

She placed her chopsticks carefully on the porcelain plate, nodding vigorously, “Mr.

Jin, this is the most delicious breakfast I’ve ever had in my life.”

“What if I said that this kitchen team could join the Wanbao Hall that you will be managing, would you like that?” Mr.

Jin sincerely asked.

Hearing this, both were stunned.

Chen Cheng had indeed contemplated recruiting a complete kitchen staff since running a restaurant is not as simple as running a noodle shop, and it’s impossible to expect Xiao Meier to handle all the basics alone.

However, Mr.

Jin’s suggestion took him by surprise.

“Mr.

Jin, this…

this is so sudden, we…” Xiao Meier was so overwhelmed with joy that she was almost at a loss for words.

“Life is limited in time and energy,” Mr.

Jin slowly said,

“You can’t personally take part in everything in life, especially big undertakings like running a restaurant.

The power of one is simply not enough.

You need a team, a team that can work together and grow together.”

He looked again at Xiao Meier, “Xiao Er, what do you think of my proposal?

Would you like to meet them?”

Xiao Meier looked towards Chen Cheng, waiting for his decision.

Chen Cheng took a deep breath, recognizing this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that could lead Wanbao Hall to amaze everyone.

He gave her a confirming look.

Xiao Meier then said, “Okay, Mr.

Jin, thank you.”

Mr.

Jin displayed a triumphant smile; he spoke softly to the waiter, then turned to Chen Cheng and Xiao Meier, “Let’s eat first.”

After a short while, a man in his forties dressed in chef’s attire came over with his team, lining up in a row.

Each of their uniforms was embroidered with the same “male” symbol, showcasing their professionalism and meticulousness.

“Mr.

Jin.” The leading chef stepped forward and respectfully greeted.

Jin Baogen put down the doughnut in his hand and smiled, “Xiao Hou, come, introduce yourself.”

He stood up, with Chen Cheng and Xiao Meier also rising to their feet.

“This is Hou Bonan, Chef Hou,” Jin Baogen explained in detail.

“He was formerly the executive chef at Ritz-Carlton.”

“Xiao Hou, this is Mr.

Chen, and Miss Xiao, whom I mentioned to you yesterday.”

Hou Bonan immediately reached out enthusiastically to shake hands with Chen Cheng, “Mr.

Chen, hello.”

“Hello.”

“Are you satisfied with today’s dishes?” Hou Bonan asked.

Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, “Chef Hou’s skills are indeed as renowned as heralded, each dish can be described as a masterpiece, and the taste is flawless.”

“Mr.

Chen, you flatter me.”

Hou Bonan modestly replied, then turned to Xiao Meier and asked, “Miss Xiao, do you think there is anything that needs improvement?”

Xiao Meier, having never experienced such a scene, especially after hearing that the newcomer was the executive chef at Ritz-Carlton, was at a loss for words.

“This is the best breakfast I’ve ever had.” With the plainest words, she expressed her sincerest thoughts.

“Thank you very much for your compliment.” freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Jin Baogen indifferently said, “Xiao Hou, from now on the kitchen of Wanbao Hall is yours.”

“Mr.

Jin, rest assured.

I will fully cooperate with Miss Xiao and certainly make Wanbao Hall a top-tier Chinese cuisine brand,” Hou Bonan promised.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Meier’s heart skipped a beat.

Her initial intention was merely to open a typical Sichuan cuisine restaurant, but influenced by Chen Cheng, it gradually evolved into a high-end restaurant.

Now, with Hou Bonan’s team joining, the word “top-tier” suggested a concept that she could scarcely imagine.

“Miss Xiao, please allow me to introduce you to my kitchen team,” Hou Bonan said, bowing slightly.

Accompanied by Hou Bonan, Xiao Meier, like inspecting a guard of honor, got acquainted with the team that would soon be hers.

Hou Bonan introduced each member to her, from preparation to hot dishes, cold dishes to pastry, beverages to raw food service, each one a standout in the industry.

She could hardly believe her eyes; it all felt too surreal.

After the introductions, Hou Bonan said to Xiao Meier, “Miss Xiao, after you finish your meal, we’ll discuss the opening menu for Wanbao Hall.”

“Okay, thank you,” she said softly.

“You’re welcome,” Hou Bonan then turned to Jin Baogen and Chen Cheng, “Mr.

Jin, Mr.

Chen, please enjoy.”

“Okay,” Jin Baogen nodded.

The group orderly retreated from the backyard, and the three sat down again.

At this moment, Xiao Meier’s heart was filled with mixed feelings, both excitement and nervousness, it was like a dream.

She looked at the Jade Bracelet on her wrist, remembered the kitchen team she had just met, and realized that a mere breakfast had completely overturned her life of the past thirty years.

Indeed, it had utterly changed her future trajectory.

“Er sister, what’s wrong?” Chen Cheng saw her uneasy expression and quickly asked.

“Xiao Cheng, I…”

Jin Baogen also looked at Xiao Meier, smiling he asked, “Xiao Er, are you wondering why I am so good to you?”
