Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiantian burst into laughter instantly.
"It's a secret!"
Yuan Tiantian grinned proudly. Bai Ying didn't care as long as there was food to eat. And the two little cuties also didn't bother about such things. They just silently enjoyed the delicious food.
Sheng Jing cast a curious glance at Xiaozhen but didn't say much.
Bai Jingyang arrived when the breakfast was already prepared, so he didn't notice at all that the person "in charge" of today's breakfast had changed.
He just buried his head and ate.
"Um, this sour soup noodle dumplings is as delicious as ever!"
This dish had been served as a staple food on the dining table before, and Bai Jingyang had tasted it. Eating it again today, he still found it incredibly delicious. The soup was sour and spicy, and the noodle dumplings didn't stick at all. Instead, they were very chewy. Dipping them in the sour and spicy soup base, it was so delicious that one's tongue would almost fall off!
Hearing him say this, Yuan Tiantian smiled silently and then gave Xiaozhen a thumbs - up.
At this moment, Bai Jingyang finally noticed a new person standing at the kitchen door.
"Boss Yuan, you've hired someone new again?"
After Bai Jingyang finished the last mouthful of sour soup with a hiss, he looked at Xiaozhen and asked curiously.
Yuan Tiantian nodded and then pointed at Xiaozhen and said to Bai Jingyang,
"This is the chef I've searched for with great effort!"
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, Bai Jingyang was stunned. He originally thought this was a waiter hired for the private rooms. He didn't expect it to be a chef. He looked quite young and didn't seem like a master chef. Moreover, could the dishes he cooked be as good as the boss's?
Thinking of this question, Bai Jingyang quietly pulled Yuan Tiantian aside and whispered a reminder.
"Boss Yuan, the taste is the quality of your restaurant. You can't let it go bad because of other chefs."
Seeing his serious look, Yuan Tiantian burst out laughing.
"You've eaten the noodle dumplings just now, right?"
Bai Jingyang didn't understand what Yuan Tiantian meant by this, but he still nodded slightly.
"Yes, so what?"
Yuan Tiantian then looked at Bai Jingyang and pointed at Xiaozhen.
"The noodle dumplings you ate today were made by Xiaozhen."
Bai Jingyang finally knew the name of this new chef. What surprised him even more was that this new chef named Xiaozhen in Tiantian's Food Store had a cooking skill so similar to Yuan Tiantian's. The taste was almost 100% the same!
"Really?"
Bai Jingyang still found it hard to believe. How could someone make the same - tasting dishes as another person?
After hearing this doubt, Yuan Tiantian laughed. She just said it was true and didn't explain further.
It was actually quite simple that people couldn't make exactly the same - tasting dishes. Because people had subjectivity, there would always be some differences in taste. But Xiaozhen wasn't a human. He was just a simulated kitchen robot. He didn't have this problem. His program only recorded all the steps of Yuan Tiantian's cooking and the exact amount of seasonings, and all the records were very precise.
Naturally, the food Xiaozhen made was 100% similar to Yuan Tiantian's.
"Boss Yuan, you're really amazing!"
Bai Jingyang couldn't help but be convinced. The waiters Yuan Tiantian hired were as handsome as movie stars. Now, even the chef she recruited was really awesome.
"Then, with the new chef, can we have more items on the daily menu in the future?"
Bai Jingyang now thought of another question, but Yuan Tiantian rejected it.
"Not yet. I need to train him well first."
In fact, she wanted Xiaozhen to learn all the dishes she could make so that there could be more items on the daily menu in the future. But for now, the number of dishes in Xiaozhen's program was still too small.
"Okay."
Hearing this, Bai Jingyang was a bit disappointed, but he wasn't overly surprised.
After all, the new chef had just arrived. He would surely be an assistant to Yuan Tiantian at first. It was estimated that the idea of increasing the daily menu could only be realized after some time.
"Don't worry. This day won't be too far away."
Judging from Xiaozhen's learning speed, Yuan Tiantian thought that after ten days or so, even if calculated at six dishes a day, Xiaozhen would know about sixty dishes. By then, it would be no problem to add one or two more dishes to the daily menu.
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, Bai Jingyang felt relieved. Just when Yuan Tiantian thought he had nothing else to say, he showed a simple and honest smile to her.
Yuan Tiantian immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.
"What are you up to again?"
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, Bai Jingyang quickly waved his hand.
Then, with a thick - skinned look, he said to Yuan Tiantian,
"Boss Yuan, can we also start the vegetable supply business in City S?"
Yuan Tiantian was stunned for a moment. So this was what Bai Jingyang was up to. Before she could reject him, Bai Jingyang continued,
"I know that you don't participate in the cooperation negotiations. It's all handled by Lu Yong. I just want to ask you for his contact information.
"My old man ate the vegetables bought from your place. Now he thinks any other vegetables don't taste right. After I explained it to him, it got even worse. He insists on seeking a cooperation!"
In Bai Jingyang's opinion, it was just a waste of time. Their family was in the real - estate business. Why were they getting involved in the vegetable industry? However, after hearing his words, the old man just snorted angrily. Anyway, he didn't say much but just asked him for a contact information.
Bai Jingyang naturally knew that it was all handled by Qingyun Venture Capital. His old man also had the contact information of Qingyun Venture Capital, but he didn't give it. Bai Jingyang thought that he should ask the boss first. If she had any objections, he wouldn't tell his old man. If not, he would give his old man Lu Yong's contact information.
In this way, he could take care of both sides.
Yuan Tiantian had no opinions and would not give any opinions on their cooperation negotiations.
If they could reach an agreement, that would be great. If not, it didn't matter. Anyway, she was just a supplier directly dealing with the general agent. She didn't care about anything else.
"I'll send you his WeChat information. But I won't care about how your negotiation goes."
This was the truth from Yuan Tiantian. She hadn't asked about how the previous regular customer Liu Ming's negotiation with Lu Yong had gone, and she would treat Bai Jingyang the same way.
"Got it, got it!"
After getting the WeChat contact information, Bai Jingyang thanked Yuan Tiantian repeatedly and then left Tiantian's Food Store.
After Bai Jingyang sent Lu Yong's contact information to his old man, he also called him.
"Old man, I've sent you the contact information of the agent of that high - end vegetable store. You handle the rest yourself!"
After saying that, Bai Jingyang hung up the phone. His father was both amused and helpless.
However, when he saw this contact information, he was stunned.
Why was it him?
Bai Jingyang's old man also had Lu Yong's contact information in his phone. Thinking of Qingyun Venture Capital behind Lu Yong, he understood at this moment.
This high - end vegetable store was actually involved with Qingyun Venture Capital.
Thinking of his son's hesitance before, he understood everything.
"This naughty boy!"
