Chapter 849: Chapter 739: Ability Determines Status (Part 2)

The manager suddenly felt extremely grateful!

He wasn’t the only one; even Liu Yiming, Ren Yuchang, and the others beside him were showing faces filled with joy, feeling a bit impatient to taste just how delicious this herbal cuisine really was!

It could make Xia Anni, who had such severe symptoms, eat so much!

Everyone’s emotions were quite complex at that moment.

Surprise, excitement, exhilaration, curiosity…

All sorts of thrilling emotions rippled through everyone’s hearts.

That’s how it is with cooking; as a chef, no matter how much you boast about your cooking skills, no matter how high you price your dishes,

a meal table is successful as long as it leaves the customer satisfied and happy!

The manager asked with both joy and concern, “Annie, how do you feel now?”

In fact, what Xia Anni just ate was far from the usual eating standard of an ordinary person.

But considering Xia Anni’s condition, her performance today was already exceptional.

Suddenly eating so much at once naturally brought some concern about whether her digestive system could handle it.

She didn’t pay much attention while eating, but now that she had finished, Xia Anni suddenly realized she had eaten so much.

Although each portion of the herbal cuisine was small, together it far exceeded her usual meal intake.

If it were before, eating so much in one go would certainly have caused her to vomit due to stomach bloating.

But now…

Xia Anni felt as if, apart from a slight feeling of satiation, there wasn’t any severe bloating, and her mouth didn’t have the usual bitter taste.

Savoring it, the sweet and sour taste of the candied cherries she had just eaten lingered.

Due to her poor digestive system, she would always burp after a meal, bringing up acid that caused discomfort and dry heaving.

Yet the burp she had just now brought up a ginger flavor.

It was a bit sharp, but surprisingly, she didn’t feel nauseated.

This delighted Xia Anni, and she nodded with surprise saying, “I’m quite good, no nausea, and no dry heaves, just a bit full.”

The manager excitedly watched Xia Anni, still a bit unsure: “Really? No acid reflux? No urge to vomit?”

Xia Anni nodded: “No, not much of a reaction for now.”

“That’s great!” The manager exclaimed excitedly, “I didn’t expect the herbal cuisine to be so effective!”

The manager was visibly excited and thrilled, feeling like surviving a great ordeal.

It was fortunate to have met Liu Yiming’s sister, who introduced them to the herbal cuisine meals at the music restaurant.

Also, thanks to Liu Yiming’s discerning nature, who willingly arranged for the herbal chef for them!

If not, continuing to seek medical treatment as before while missing follow-up reviews due to work would have led to serious consequences.

At that point, her health and career could have both suffered.

If the body collapses, the acting career is practically ruined as well.

The manager stood up excitedly from the chair and first looked at Liu Yiming, expressing gratitude: “Brother Liu, I can’t thank you enough. If it weren’t for your help in inviting Chef Fu over to make the herbal cuisine, Annie would still have a problem with eating!”

Liu Yiming promptly responded politely: “Oh, we’re all our own people, no need for those pleasantries!”

The manager smiled and nodded: “Right, we’re friends, no need to differentiate between insiders and outsiders.”

Then, turning to Fu Yu, he solemnly said, “Chef Fu, your herbal cuisine is truly excellent. It’s a godsend that Annie could eat! We want to customize herbal cuisine with you; the cost is not a problem as long as it suits her needs and keeps Annie eating!”

Fu Yu laughed upon hearing this. He suddenly turned and looked at Yao Shi, standing beside him: “This is a matter to discuss with my boss; I’m just a chef at the restaurant.”

The remark left everyone present momentarily stunned!

They say that ability determines position.

Fu Yu’s exquisite herbal cuisine skills had already conquered everyone present.

In the hearts of a few people, unconsciously, Fu Yu was placed on an equal or even higher standing than them.

Those with skills are always worthy of respect.

However, upon hearing Fu Yu’s words, they came to their senses.

Indeed!

Fu Yu is just an herbal cuisine chef working at the music restaurant, and the boss is also here today!

In an instant, everyone turned their heads to look at Yao Shi.

A single sentence moved Yao Shi nearly to tears!

What a good child!

Such a sensible person!

At this time, Yao Shi was most in need of expanding his network. If he could connect with notable people like Liu Yiming and Xia Anni, it would greatly aid his future career development.

It’s well-known that in today’s world, to make money, you need fame.

For a restaurant to thrive, it needs a certain reputation.

And reputation lies not only in genuine ingredients, good flavors, and excellent service but also in effective publicity.

Word of mouth is necessary to achieve promotional effects.

With influential people like Liu Yiming and Xia Anni, a casual compliment from them could offer more publicity than spending money on advertisement.

Fu Yu’s herbal cuisine today earned Xia Anni’s approval, and this alone made Yao Shi overjoyed!

Now, with Xia Anni willing to customize herbal cuisine with their shop, they wouldn’t have to worry about the market for herbal cuisine operations anymore!

Moreover, Fu Yu’s words truly highlighted himself, making Yao Shi feel very proud inside.

Such a good child, able to customize suitable herbal cuisine for challenging illnesses and satisfy difficult customers.

And also having a big-picture view!

The statement, “This is a matter to discuss with my boss,” truly gave Yao Shi a sense of pride!

Ren Yuchang looked at Fu Yu, feeling secretly grateful…

Thankfully, Liu Yiming happened to ask him for a favor, or he would have missed this herbal cuisine session today.

Although he had already exchanged contact information with Fu Yu, Ren Yuchang never really planned to reach out.

Being a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, he rarely needs to engage with herbal cuisine sessions.

But it now became clear that this young herbal cuisine chef’s future is definitely bright with great potential!

Such a person, if befriended in early times, might just be a benefactor in the future!

He almost missed such a good opportunity.

At this thought, Ren Yuchang made a silent resolution to find an opportunity to connect with Fu Yu properly after today.

This person is worth the effort!

Meanwhile, Li Zongming looked at Fu Yu with a calculating gaze!

This young man is impressive!

A talent in preparing herbal cuisine!

He has been obsessed with learning and customizing herbal cuisine in recent years, and now, through Ren Yuchang, he finally joined the National Herbal Cuisine Research Association smoothly.

If he could befriend Fu Yu, they could privately discuss and exchange experiences in customizing and preparing herbal cuisine, benefiting both parties!

He really needs a friend like Fu Yu now!

At this thought, he turned to look at Ren Yuchang.

Just in time, Ren Yuchang also looked over.

Their eyes met, and they instantly shared a tacit understanding.

This young man, Fu Yu, is truly worth getting to know!

They exchanged a glance and then both turned their eyes to Fu Yu.

Fu Yu stood aside, quietly listening to Yao Shi discussing the specific scheduling for visiting the music restaurant with the manager.

Suddenly, a series of electronic notification sounds rang in his ears:

[Ding! Earned favor from NPC Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital’s Vice President Ren Yuchang +5]

[Ding! Earned favor from NPC Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital’s Director Li Zongming +5]

Fu Yu was somewhat absent-minded.

It wasn’t that he disliked the favor from Ren Yuchang and Li Zongming.

After all, being liked is better than being disliked.

He was just watching Yao Shi happily chatting with the manager, finalizing the herbal cuisine schedule, and felt a bit envious.

If he had his own restaurant and took care of the herbal cuisine business, today’s connections and the money from customized herbal cuisine would all belong to him.

At that moment, he understood one truth:

To succeed, he needed to have his own business.

And to start a business, he needed money, ability, and strong culinary skills to support it!

If his cooking wasn’t excellent, then no amount of talking would matter!
