"Boss Yuan, what's your specialty?" Xing Min asked earnestly.
Lee Yanyi sneered, "Didn't you say he's good at everything on the menu?"
Even the other customers who heard Xing Min's question also waited for Yuan Zhou to say he was good at everything with a smile.
"Boss Yuan is so narcissistic. He'll definitely say he's good at everything," Wu Hai said confidently while stroking his mustaches.
"I think so too. And isn't that a matter of course? There's nothing that's bad," Manman nodded her head in agreement.
"That's true. I've never felt Boss Yuan's dishes are bad when I've eaten here. Even the cheapest honey tremella has a unique taste and a refreshing texture," another customer also nodded his head in agreement.
"This is the first time I've seen someone ask Boss Yuan what he's good at. It's quite interesting," Ling Hong said with an interested expression.
"That's true. I feel Boss Yuan is good at everything and everything he cooks is delicious," the person who said that was naturally his little fangirl, Tang Xi.
Wu Hai continued to summarize, "His specialty is the next dish."
Upon hearing that, Lee Yanyi squinted at Xing Min, as if saying, "Did you see that? Everyone agrees with me. Your primitive theory is outdated."
As his arch-enemy, Lee Yanyi would never let go of any chance to attack Xing Min.
However, Xing Min remained calm. He just looked at Yuan Zhou and waited for his answer.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, was slightly stunned and then said, "Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork. My specialty is Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork."
Yuan Zhou's voice was still light and breezy, but his tone was still as solemn as always.
"Then get me Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork and a bowl of plain white rice. That's all." Xing Min nodded his head contentedly and then directly ordered his dishes.
Lee Yanyi could clearly feel the complacency on Xing Min's face without turning his head. However, he wasn't in the mood to care about that now. Instead, he looked at Yuan Zhou in astonishment.
Even the customers who were eating at the side stared at Yuan Zhou with their eyes wide open, their faces full of surprise.
How could they not be shocked? Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork had been released for several months now, but they had never heard that it was Yuan Zhou's signature dish.
"So Boss Yuan has a specialty?" Tang Xi couldn't help but ask.
"When did Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork become your specialty?" Lee Yanyi immediately asked.
"Yeah, this Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork is really good, but when did it become his signature dish?" Wu Hai turned to look at the large menu on the wall behind him in surprise, wanting to see if there were any changes on it.
"F * ck, what a surprise." Ling Hong couldn't help but curse.
Manman didn't say anything, but she looked at Yuan Zhou from head to toe.
"Maybe it's because we didn't ask about it before. Maybe this dish has always been Boss Yuan's signature dish," Tang Xi said after thinking for quite a while.
Now that he said it, it seemed to be true. Then, the customers finally understood. As the dishes were all very delicious, no one had ever asked Yuan Zhou about it before.
"A signature dish is an essential skill for a chef. What's so strange about that?" Xing Min said complacently and naturally.
"You're just a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse. How can you feel superior just because of this?" Lee Yanyi immediately said disdainfully.
"It's still better than someone who has eaten for several months without knowing the chef's signature dish," Xing Min immediately retorted. "Hoho.
That's because you don't understand and have too little experience. "Lee Yanyi wouldn't admit defeat.
"I dare say that a signature dish is at least 20% more delicious than other dishes. That's why it can be called a signature dish," Xing Min said affirmatively.
"If you can cook a dish that is 20% more delicious than this, I'll write the word 'convinced' for you," Lee Yanyi's voice was filled with ridicule.
After that, Lee Yanyi added, "Even if you find such a person, I'll write the word 'convinced' for you."
"No problem. I'll tell you after I eat it," Xing Min agreed.
Lee Yanyi, on the other hand, looked at Xing Min with pity in his eyes. His expression was obviously saying, "Foolish mortal."
As for Yuan Zhou, he didn't stay for long after he answered the questions. Instead, he returned to the kitchen and started cooking seriously.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn't answer any of those questions.
However, the dish Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork became popular.
"Give me the dish that even Boss Yuan says is his signature dish, Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork." Regardless of whether it was the customers that had just entered the restaurant or those that had just entered, almost all of them would order this dish.
The average popularity of the dish in the past was suddenly broken by the word 'signature dish'.
However, more and more people asked Yuan Zhou for the reason.
However, Yuan Zhou was still cooking seriously and didn't think about anything else.
A Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork really didn't take long. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was done in a short while.
"Serve the dish," Yuan Zhou put down the dish and said to Mu Xiaoyun at the side.
"Yes, Boss." Mu Xiaoyun immediately nodded and walked over.
Yuan Zhou stood in the kitchen and watched the dish being carried away. As he listened to the customers discussing Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork, he suddenly remembered the reason why this dish became his signature dish.
More than a year ago, Yuan Zhou was still working in the kitchen of a three-star hotel. Due to various reasons, even though he was a university student, he was only able to do odd jobs in the kitchen.
Odd jobs meant that he did everything. When he was busy, he would even have the opportunity to touch the wok and cook some dishes. Of course, these dishes were for the employees to eat, and they were commonly known as work meals.
Most of the time, he would be in the kitchen washing vegetables, picking vegetables, cleaning, and so on. At that time, Yuan Zhou didn't have the system, and no one thought that he had the talent to cook.
One afternoon, after he finished cleaning, he realized that the staff meal had already been eaten. Therefore, Yuan Zhou returned to the kitchen and cooked a simple dish for himself.
That dish was Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork. These two ingredients were commonly seen in the kitchen and there were a lot of them. Therefore, he could use some of them.
Of course, the most important thing was that this dish could be used as both a side dish and a main dish. It was very convenient.
"Looks like the dish I cook is also not bad." Yuan Zhou looked at the Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork on the plate with satisfaction.
"Slurp, slurp." Yuan Zhou picked up the chopsticks and quickly ate two mouthfuls.
"Yuan, are you eating?" At this time, a person walked in. He was the head chef of the kitchen, the head chef who had the Advanced Chef Certificate.
"Yes. Hello, head chef." Yuan Zhou was a little nervous. He put down the chopsticks and greeted the head chef.
"It's Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork. It's not bad. "The head chef walked up and took a look at the plate. Then, he casually picked up a piece with his chopsticks and ate it.
"Thank you, head chef." Yuan Zhou thanked him earnestly.
"Hurry up and finish eating. Go and prepare the ingredients." The head chef didn't say much. Instead, he walked to the main hall and said.
"Ok." Yuan Zhou nodded quickly.
"This is the first dish I've ever been praised." Yuan Zhou revealed a small smile and sighed.
Even Engineer Cheng, who wanted to learn from Yuan Zhou, was far better than that head chef. It was unclear if the head chef had said "not bad" casually or if it was really not bad.
However, Yuan Zhou still remembered it clearly. His signature dish had to be Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork.
