Chapter 533 - 519: Executive Chef of the West Lake State Guesthouse
"Today, Boss Huang has a new dish, everyone guess what it is, guess right and there’s a prize~"
Haven’t live-streamed for quite a few days, Jiang Qihang switched his phone to the rear camera after starting the stream, and he smiled slightly at the camera.
His fan base has now exceeded a million, although most of his streaming times are irregular and casual.
But you know!
A lot of active loyal fans still come to check in on him now and then.
So when they saw Jiang Qihang was live, they rushed into the stream room.
After all, they were just eating, nothing to do, watching a live stream was not a bad choice.
At this moment, numerous comments flooded the screen.
"Hang is finally live, I’ve been waiting for so long my flowers have almost wilted! But Hang, why do I feel like you’re going all the way down the food broadcasting road?"
"Eh? Is it that place that’s been trending frequently recently? I heard all their stuff is really top-notch!"
"Been hoping and hoping, finally got Hang’s live stream... uh... by the way, why the same place again? Hang, can’t you check in somewhere else?"
"Writing an open letter with a thousand signatures to get Hang to check in at the Heaven on Earth!"
"Wow, the commenter above, I seriously suspect you want our Hang to end up in jail, but I have no evidence."
"Today’s lunch special is... Squirrel Mandarin Fish, don’t ask me how I know, just ask and I’ll say Boss Huang posted it on Weibo last night. Hang, I don’t want any other rewards, I just want to taste Boss Huang’s cooking. How about you fly your private jet and pack a Squirrel Mandarin Fish for me? If you can bring a few more dishes, I have no complaints."
"Wow, the commenter above really dares to dream, no one dares to think like you!"
"One must have dreams, what if they come true! To be honest, I’d also like that kind of reward! This way, during the new year, I’d have something to brag about, but I don’t know if Hang would be willing to use that as a reward!"
"I also want that kind of reward!"
"I also want that kind of reward~"
"I also want that kind of reward~"
Uh...
Are they trying to turn him into a delivery guy!
And the kind that flies a plane to deliver!
Have to say, the current netizens are all talents!
Of course.
Flying a plane to deliver food is impossible, never in this lifetime.
Jiang Qihang smiled helplessly as he looked at those comments: "I know you’re all craving Boss Huang’s dishes, but I’m busy, I don’t have time to deliver..."
Netizen fans: "..."
The way you say it, why don’t I quite believe it!
Instantly, the screen was again full of comments.
"Hang, you’re lying through your teeth, doesn’t your conscience hurt?"
"Busy my foot you’re busy! Hang, you’re the most idle person in the world, you do nothing every day, just queue in front of the store, don’t ask me how I know, just know that I’m also a loyal customer of Delicious Restaurant, I’ve seen you queuing."
"Hang is indeed busy, busy queuing to eat!"
Jiang Qihang didn’t address these teasing comments, and continued: "How about this, you guys fly over, and I’ll cover accommodation and flight costs for you all."
Netizen fans: "..."
Do they lack that bit of money?
Alright, they admit it!
They do lack money!
Jiang Qihang adjusted the live stream camera, and it flickered to focus right on Old Qin’s table across, some sharp-eyed viewers saw them both enjoying food happily and were also drawn to Xie Guanming’s face.
Not because Xie Guanming was handsome, but just because he seemed familiar to them?
"Eh? The guy eating with the old man in a Tang suit waving a folding fan seems a bit familiar?"
"Exactly, I also feel like I’ve seen him before somewhere..."
"Me too, wait a sec, let me check Baidu..."
"Found it! Not long ago, ’Where is the Chef’ in collaboration with ’Seagull Vacation Guide’ grandly issued the China ’Best50 Hotel Chefs List.’ A series of interviews features winners as a mirror for peers to go forward. One of the interviewees is the executive chef of the West Lake State Guesthouse, seems like it’s him."
"I found this interview video now, checked it out specifically, no mistake, it’s this guy named Xie Guanming, executive chef of the West Lake State Guesthouse."
"I remember now, not long ago, this ’Best50 Hotel Chefs List’ even trended! Back then, Xie Guanming was on the list."
"Yes, yes, it’s him, back then in the interview, it was extensively reported that he excels at crafting Zhejiang dishes with Jiangnan characteristics, adept at incorporating local ingredients into the development of new dishes while focusing on the taste, presentation, and creativity of the dishes. And during the G20 Hangzhou summit in 2016, he and his team participated in the preparation and reception work, completing the reception task with high quality, thus rapidly boosting the West Lake State Guesthouse’s reputation, leading to numerous accolades..."
"The Delicious Restaurant does hide a lot of hidden bosses! Some time ago, top business figures from Huasheng Group and Min’an Group queued just to dine here, then top female star Liu Feifei personally came to request a meal, and now even the executive chef of the West Lake State Guesthouse is dining here."
"Wow! Did I hear wrong? This Xie Guanming is actually calling the old man in Tang suit with a folding fan ’Master’! Never expected the old man playing chess and queuing daily outside Boss Huang’s shop is also a remarkable person..."
"Nothing strange, I heard this old man in a Tang suit used to be the head chef at a five-star hotel, so having a disciple as an executive chef at the West Lake State Guesthouse isn’t surprising at all!"
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Even such a humble little restaurant has so many big shots visiting!"
The news about the executive chef of the West Lake State Guesthouse dining at the Delicious Restaurant quietly spread online, attracting many passersby netizens.
Goodness, what kind of amazing restaurant could attract the executive chef from the West Lake State Guesthouse for a meal! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Looking again, it’s the Delicious Restaurant!
No one was surprised at all.
Instead, they thought it was only natural!
The excitement in the live stream and online, Xie Guanming and Old Qin were utterly unaware, still lost in the culinary delight.
Old Qin smilingly reminded, "Guanming, your stomach isn’t good, eat a bit less."
Xie Guanming calmly replied, "Master, it’s fine, the doctor said it’s okay to eat a bit more occasionally."
The two continued to dive into their meal.
Once they finished, their stomachs were quite full.
Xie Guanming looked at Huang Tao who was still busy in the kitchen, full of praise, "The owner’s culinary skills are really top-notch, on par with our guesthouse’s!"
Before coming, he thought his master’s words were exaggerated.
Only after eating did he realize they weren’t exaggerated at all!
But thinking about it afterward, it seemed narrow-minded.
After all, the owner’s culinary skills were certified by his master!
Definitely not ordinary!
"Of course, when have my insights ever been off..." Old Qin lightly swayed his folding fan, looking smug.
After a short rest.
Old Qin took Xie Guanming back first, making room for other guests.
Xie Guanming initially wanted to meet with Huang Tao, but since the latter was still busy, he put it off for now.
There’s always tomorrow, surely there will be a chance to meet!
