"Wait, Mr. Li, what do you mean?" Liu Ruoyu was a little surprised.
"That's exactly what I meant. Go and prepare yourself," Li Li said earnestly.
"But didn't you tell Manager Niu just now that we're having the Red Wine Flame Steak tonight?" Liu Ruoyu asked carefully.
Liu Ruoyu didn't want Li Li to fight against Yuan Zhou head-on. Niu Li once told her that the Yuanzhou shop was the reason why they came here to open a shop. Therefore, the best choice was to avoid the confrontation.
"What? You don't agree? "Li Li frowned and turned to Liu Ruoyu.
"Head Chef Li, I don't mean that. It's just that Manager Niu will come again in the evening," Liu Ruoyu said cautiously.
"I know what I'm doing. You go and prepare." Li Li stood up and ignored Liu Ruoyu.
No matter what, he held shares in the company and could be considered as one of the bosses. There was no need for him to listen to other people's orders.
Hearing Li Li's words, Liu Ruoyu naturally did not dare to refute. She nodded and asked, "Do we need to tell Manager Niu?"
"It's up to you. I'll go prepare." Li Li didn't care about this. He was free to do whatever he wanted.
"Okay, Mr. Li. I'll go and arrange the stove for you tonight and then tell Manager Niu your decision," Liu Ruoyu said methodically.
"En." Li Li nodded, straightened his apron, and walked to the kitchen.
Liu Ruoyu heaved a sigh of relief when she was far away. She muttered in a low voice, "I don't know what Sister Niu would think."
However, this was not something she needed to worry about. The most important thing now was to prepare the stove.
That's right. This time, Li Li decided to make the Swedish Meatballs on the spot to increase the viewership and interest.
"Head chef, what dishes would you like to cook in the evening?" The fat and cheerful head chef walked over and asked eagerly.
"Swedish Meatball. Prepare the beef shank meat for me, the kind without the fascia and a piece of pork plum blossom meat. Send them to me." Li Li said naturally.
"Alright. Good job, head chef. How could we lose to a tiny restaurant?" The fat head chef clenched his fists and said earnestly.
"Of course. Let's go." Li Li nodded his head confidently.
Li Li never thought that he would lose this battle. He, Li Li, had his own pride. That was why he chose the same dish to fight.
That's right. In Li Li's eyes, Yuan Zhou's choice to release a new dish today was a declaration of war against him.
Out of dignity and pride, he would accept the challenge and even choose the same dish to accept the challenge. This was Li Li's pride.
As for Yuan Zhou, after lunchtime, he walked to the main entrance and glanced over there without anyone noticing. Seeing that nobody was there, he returned to his restaurant with a cold expression.
After closing the door, Yuan Zhou grinned. "This guy must be at his wit's end now."
After all, it looked a lot different from the grand opening ceremony.
Yuan Zhou was very clear about his own strength, but the other party didn't seem to know. He actually chose to open his restaurant on the same day as Yuan Zhou's new dish. The consequence of not understanding his strength was that he would be crushed.
Then, Yuan Zhou went back to the second floor to wash up and rest with ease. The practice these few days had consumed a lot of Yuan Zhou's energy.
Time passed quickly. Not long after, it was evening. Yuan Zhou's restaurant had a fixed business time, but Li Li's western restaurant didn't.
Therefore, his western restaurant opened earlier. Many people still went in to have a look out of curiosity.
Curiosity was also a common point of human beings.
Compared with the long line in Yuanzhou shop, however, there were much fewer people coming to Li Li's western restaurant.
Even the seats weren't full yet. If the people lining up at the entrance of Yuanzhou shop came here to eat, at least two restaurants of this size could be filled.
Due to the dislocation of time, those who didn't line up in Yuanzhou shop came here. After all, they still had to eat.
Coincidentally, the one who came was Ma Zhida, who had eaten the Swedish Meatball cooked by Yuan Zhou at noon. He was known as the senior foodie who had eaten all the new dishes in Yuanzhou shop.
"Holy sh * t. It's so scary. I planned to eat it again. It seems that I won't have the chance today." Ma Zhida shrugged to his friend beside him and said helplessly.
"Exactly. Those who didn't dare to come at noon are all here. Look at the long line." Ma Zhida's friend had a very interesting name, Gao Shuai. Ma Zhida always called him Gao Fushuai every time.
"It seems that we can't eat it today. Let's go to that restaurant." Ma Zhida chose the nearest restaurant and naturally came to Li Li's western restaurant.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, the warm and considerate service instantly made them feel better. They found a place where they could watch Li Li cook with satisfaction.
"Is this an open kitchen?" Gao Shuai asked curiously.
"Handsome, we're not. As it's a newly opened restaurant today, the executive chef specially offers it to you as a reward. You can personally see the Swedish Meatball being cooked." The waiter called the name that they had discussed just now and explained carefully.
"Handsome? Hahaha. "Ma Zhida wanted to laugh every time he heard someone call Gao Shuai that way. Then, he started to laugh again.
Gao Shuai glanced at him in disdain, but didn't care about that. He was originally a tall, rich and handsome man.
"Swedish Meatball? You also have it here? Then get me two servings of this and two servings of steak. "Gao Shuai reacted instantly and directly ordered the dish.
"Is it the Swedish Meatball here? I wonder if it's authentic. "Ma Zhida stopped laughing when he heard the order and said worriedly.
"Just eat whatever you like. It's good to satisfy your craving." Gao Shuai gave Li Li a clear position, namely, the food to comfort him.
Li Li had already started to cook. Therefore, it only took Ma Zhida and Gao Shuai less than 10 minutes from the time they ordered the dishes to the time they were served.
The two of them started to eat while talking and laughing, ignoring the waiter at the side.
"The taste is not bad. You can come again next time if you don't have any meals." Ma Zhida said naturally.
"No. This restaurant is not cheap. I want to save money and go to Boss Yuan's restaurant." Gao Shuai refused flatly.
Just when he ordered the dishes, he found this restaurant was fairly expensive, even comparable to the prices in Yuanzhou shop.
"Then forget it." When Ma Zhida heard it wasn't cheap, he immediately gave up the idea.
After eating for a while, Ma Zhida suddenly called the waiter, "Come here for a moment."
"What's wrong, Brother Ma? What do you need?" The waitress asked softly with a sweet voice.
"The dishes are a little slow to be served here. I have almost finished my meal and there are still some dishes that haven't been served." Ma Zhida pointed at the table and said discontentedly.
The waitress looked at the table carefully and asked with puzzlement, "May I ask which dish you ordered hasn't been served?"
"The Swedish Meatball. It hasn't been served yet. Isn't it too slow?" Ma Zhida looked at Li Li who was still cooking and said.
"It's indeed a little slow." Gao Shuai also nodded his head and echoed.
"But these two servings are the Swedish Meatball. You two have already eaten them." The waitress didn't get angry or anything. She just pointed at the two plates and said smilingly.
Ma Zhida and Gao Shuai uttered with one voice, "Haw?"
