The diners hadn't arrived yet, but Yuan Tiantian received a call from her sister Yuan Lele first. The two sisters were both busy these days and only occasionally sent a few WeChat messages to briefly chat with each other. It had been a long time since they last talked on the phone. It seemed that Yuan Tiantian hadn't received a call from her sister since she came to this Gourmet Restaurant in the Parallel World. This call today was a bit strange.
"Sis."
Yuan Tiantian picked up the phone and walked aside to talk to her sister. It turned out that Yuan Lele's assistant had informed her that Yuan Tiantian's gourmet restaurant had been on the hot search. She clicked in and found out that many people were criticizing it, so she called to ask her sister about the specific situation. Hearing her sister's concerned words, Yuan Tiantian felt warm inside.
"Sis, don't worry. It's okay. Anyway, no one who has eaten in my restaurant has ever failed to give a thumbs up!"
Hearing this, Yuan Lele couldn't help laughing. Her sister was really confident. It seemed that the Weibo incident had no impact on her. Now she was relieved. The two sisters chatted for a few more minutes. Just as Yuan Tiantian was about to mention that she wanted to move her household register, she heard a commotion on Yuan Lele's end. Listening carefully, it seemed to be her so - called brother - in - law.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhou. You can't go in. General Manager Yuan is busy."
"What is she busy with? Busy thinking about how to get a divorce?!"
...
Yuan Tiantian frowned tightly after hearing this. Divorce? And the tone of her brother - in - law Zhou Yanggang was obviously very bad. Had the relationship between her sister and brother - in - law gotten even worse?
"I've got something to deal with here. I'll hang up first. Contact me on WeChat if you have anything."
After saying that, there came the beeping sound. Yuan Lele quickly hung up the phone. Yuan Tiantian was a bit worried. Would something bad happen? Thinking of this, Yuan Tiantian decided to call Yuan Lele again after she finished her work today to ask in detail. If there really was a problem, they could discuss and solve it together.
There were quite a few diners at noon, but they were all regulars. There were no new customers. However, the income was good. At around 9 p.m., "Taste of the World" came to Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant.
Of course, at first, no one knew that he was that well - known food critic. Bai Ying led the customer in. The man looked at today's menu and ordered two dishes: stir - fried sweet potato vines, steamed perch, and a serving of steamed rice with sausage. "Taste of the World" didn't reveal his identity at first, in order to prevent the restaurant from trying to bribe him privately.
After asking Bai Ying if he could start a live - broadcast and getting an affirmative answer, he directly started the live - broadcast. Many of Han Jun's fans knew that he was coming here today and were following his live - broadcast. As soon as the live - broadcast started, a large number of people flocked in.
"The environment of the restaurant looks good."
"Yes, but this kind of unpretentious restaurant is quite clean."
"We just don't know what the real taste of the food is like."
Han Jun looked at the messages on the bullet - screen but didn't reply. He just silently waited for the food to be served. Soon, the stir - fried sweet potato vines and the steamed rice with sausage were served. Han Jun had to admit that he was a bit surprised by the strong aroma of these two dishes. After taking a bite of the steamed rice with sausage, his eyes lit up. He quickly chewed and swallowed it, then scooped up a big spoonful of rice. After that, he picked up a bite of the sweet potato vines. The crisp and refreshing taste was really good. A simple vegetarian dish was incredibly delicious, not losing out to those heavy - flavored dishes at all. It had that unique freshness of light - flavored cuisine.
Han Jun didn't say a word. He just gave a thumbs up to the live - broadcast screen.
"Is it really that delicious? Can a green vegetable be that good?"
"Sir, aren't you being bribed?"
"Wow, sir, if you're being threatened, just blink your eyes!"
"I don't believe it. Although it does look okay, how delicious can this steamed rice and the vegetarian dish be?"
"I think it's real. Look at how quickly sir is eating. If he was really paid, he's being too dedicated to eat like this!"
Han Jun didn't have time to look at the bullet - screen anymore. He was now completely focused on the delicious food in front of him. Just as the sweet potato vines were almost finished, the steamed perch was finally served. As soon as Bai Ying put the perch on the table, Han Jun immediately reached out with his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish meat from the back of the fish.
In the end, the delicious taste made his taste buds go wild. The fish meat wasn't fishy at all. It was tender but not mushy. Anyway, the final taste was just wonderful. It was just delicious. He had eaten in high - class restaurants before, and the food there was also good, but compared with the steamed perch in Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant, it was still a bit inferior. Yes, a bit, not just a little.
Han Jun was really curious about who the chef of Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant was.
After finishing all the dishes, Han Jun turned off the live - broadcast. But before turning it off, Han Jun directly apologized to Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant in the live - broadcast.
"My previous Weibo remarks were too hasty. In the future, no matter what restaurant it is, I will definitely try the food first and then make relevant comments. At least the three dishes I ate in Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant today are of top - level quality. There's no faking. Those who have time can come and try. If there's a single lie in what I said today, I'll quit the food - review circle."
Yuan Tiantian walked out of the kitchen and happened to hear what he said. Now she roughly knew who he was.
"Taste of the World?"
Yuan Tiantian stepped forward to greet him. Han Jun was really shocked to see Yuan Tiantian dressed in a chef's uniform. Was the chef of Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant this young girl? She looked no more than in her early twenties. So young?!
"Hello, I'm Han Jun, also known as Taste of the World. May I ask if you're the chef of Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant?"
After getting a nod of confirmation from Yuan Tiantian, Han Jun felt it was unbelievable. There was actually such a young top - level chef. People really couldn't be judged by their appearance.
Then Han Jun sincerely apologized to Yuan Tiantian again. The latter waved her hand after hearing this.
"It's okay. Your live - broadcast just now might attract a lot of diners to my restaurant. By the way, where are you going to stay tonight? Back to the city or find a local family to stay with in the village?"
Han Jun was going back to the city. He had already booked a hotel. He just couldn't resist the urge to visit the restaurant as soon as he got off the plane. He didn't expect it to be such a worthwhile trip.
"I see the menu says 'Today's Menu'. Does it mean that the menu will be different tomorrow?"
Yuan Tiantian nodded and then explained the menu rules of the restaurant. The latter nodded excitedly. He decided to stay here for a few more days so that he could taste more delicious dishes. After going back, he would write a good food column about Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant. Of course, after Yuan Tiantian knew his idea, she quickly said,
"We only provide one - time accommodation and meals. You'll have to take care of your own accommodation and meals later!"
Seeing Yuan Tiantian's nervous look, Han Jun laughed. "Don't worry, little boss. I'll pay for everything myself later!"
For the sake of the delicious food here, Han Jun was willing to pay to stay here for a few more days. After all, Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant was worth it.
Another diner conquered by the delicious food in Tiantian Gourmet Restaurant!
