Chapter 220: I Just Want to Be Nice to You, No Reason! (Part 2/5)

Then, the lobby manager brought the head chef to the private room where Tang Feng and others were.

The door was not closed.

A waiter stood at the door.

The head chef peeked inside for a few moments!

The moment he saw Tang Feng, he was stunned!

He had never dreamed that the person coming to dine was actually the champion of the China Chef competition!

His emotions suddenly became excited.

He did not know what to do.

“Chef Huang, what’s wrong with you?” the lobby manager quickly asked.

“Just don’t speak, let me calm down,” the other replied.

After a while, the head chef’s emotions calmed down.

He quickly walked into the private room.

Tang Feng and the others were chatting, and when they saw someone coming in, they stopped abruptly.

“Master Tang! It’s really unexpected! You actually came to our hotel!” Chef Huang’s voice trembled slightly.

“You are?” Tang Feng was somewhat surprised.

For a moment, he did not recognize the other person.

“Master Tang, my name is Huang Haobin. I also participated in the China Chef competition held in the capital last year! I even had the honor to take a photo with you!”

“I remember now! Hello!” Tang Feng was reminded by the other and suddenly realized.

“Master Tang, have you ordered yet?” Huang Haobin asked cautiously.

“We just finished ordering,” Tang Feng answered.

“I’ll go check the menu in the kitchen. Later, I will make a few more dishes for you to taste,” Huang Haobin said.

“You don’t have to be so polite. We’ve already ordered quite a bit, and we definitely won’t be able to finish if there’s more,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“No problem! You guys continue chatting! I’ll get busy!” After saying this, Huang Haobin exited the private room.

“Chef Huang, what dishes are you planning to make for him?” the lobby manager asked.

“Of course, I’ll make my specialty dishes! Just right to take this opportunity to get some advice from Master Tang!” Huang Haobin was already getting excited!

“Chef, how skilled is this Master Tang, really?” the lobby manager asked with interest.

“How to say it! The judges at that time were all national banquet masters. They all praised the dishes made by Master Tang! They always believed that Master Tang’s culinary skills were already above theirs!” Huang Haobin answered.

“Ah? Really? He looks at most seventeen or eighteen years old! If nothing unexpected, he should still be in school,” the lobby manager was indeed a bit incredulous.

“Talent does not depend on age, and without ambition, living a hundred years is in vain. Of course, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that Master Tang is so young and has such high culinary attainments!” Huang Haobin said, unable to help but sigh.

“You better go cook! I’ll help keep an eye on things here!” the lobby manager said.

Huang Haobin nodded and hurriedly left.

The lobby manager glanced at the private room, then instructed the waiter a few words before returning to the lobby.

“Manager Luo, how is it? Is that person the one in the photo with the chef?” the receptionist couldn’t wait to ask.

“Yes! It’s him! The chef was so excited when he saw him!” the lobby manager replied.

“The chef will probably have to show off all his skills,” the receptionist said with a smile.

“Definitely. I wonder what background this Master Tang has. It would be great if he could work at our hotel! I guess the number of guests coming to our hotel would double!” the lobby manager couldn’t help but sigh.

“Such a talented master chef! Why would he fancy our hotel! If he wants to be a chef, he would definitely go to a five-star hotel in the capital or Modu!”

“That’s true! I wonder if he takes disciples! If he has a disciple, their culinary skills probably aren’t far off,” the lobby manager said.

“We can ask about it later.”

The lobby manager nodded.

“Little Feng! It’s really unexpected! In such a high-end hotel, there are also people who recognize you!” Su Gang said with a smile.

“It’s mainly because I participated in the Chef competition. Otherwise, not so many chefs would know me,” Tang Feng said somewhat embarrassedly.

“Being skilled is good! No matter where you go, you will be respected! Little Feng, you need to work even harder,” Tang Long said earnestly.

“I know.” Tang Feng nodded.

“Uncle Tang, how’s the business at the supermarket recently?” Su Xiaoli changed the subject.

“The business has been very good! After all, it’s the biggest supermarket in our Binjiang District! Those who come from the countryside like to shop at our supermarket the most,” Tang Long answered.

“It’s mainly because it’s novel. In the past, when people shopped, they mostly went to markets. Even for daily necessities, the village stores didn’t have much. After this period, I guess more supermarkets will appear. By then, the competition will become more intense,” Tang Feng analyzed.

“There’s no helping it. Seeing that opening a supermarket is profitable, naturally, everyone wants a piece of the pie,” Tang Long said.

“We still need to expand quickly. Only with a large scale can we keep costs down. Otherwise, when those chain supermarkets come in, the competition will become even fiercer,” Tang Feng suggested.

“I think the current scale is fine! If it gets any bigger, your mother and I won’t be able to manage it. We plan to start with the details and strive to make our supermarket the best-reputed in Binjiang District!” Tang Long shared his thoughts.

“My thoughts are the same as your father’s. We don’t have much ability, and blind expansion could very likely doom the supermarket,” Tang Feng’s Mother added.

“Since you both think so, then let’s do as you say!” Tang Feng nodded.

“Money can’t be earned in a lifetime. Being able to manage one supermarket well is already quite good. Our family can also live a good life with us. We are content,” Tang Long said with a smile.

“As long as you are happy.”

The dishes were served one after another.

Tang Feng tasted them carefully.

Some of the dishes were quite good.

After all, it was a five-star hotel, whether it was the head chef or the ordinary chefs, the basic culinary skills were passable.

At this time, Huang Haobin came in from outside.

His attitude appeared very cautious.

After all, in front of Tang Feng, he was like a mountain!

Even if he spent his entire life, he might not reach Tang Feng’s level of culinary skill!

“Chef!” Tang Feng stood up when he saw him.

“Master Tang, my surname is Huang! Just call me Old Huang!” Huang Haobin quickly said.

“How could I! You are older than me, calling you sir Huang would be more appropriate,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Whatever you prefer! You can call me whatever you want!” Huang Haobin responded.

“Sir Huang, if I’m not mistaken, the West Lake Vinegar Fish, Eight Blessings Coming to
the Door, and Braised Lion’s Head were all made by you,” Tang Feng said.
