Chapter 850: Chapter 740: Isn’t This a Waste of Talent?

Yao Shi and Xia Anni’s agent scheduled the custom medicinal cuisine, and both parties carefully discussed the related process and specific price signing issues.

Just as they finalized the plan, an electronic notification suddenly sounded in Fu Yu’s ear:

[Ding! NPC National Top Sales Master Liu Yiming’s task: Ensure Xia Anni has a pleasant dining experience. Task completion reward: A comprehensive table of Chinese medicinal effects (Part 1)]

Issuing a task reward in the form of a directory, no one can be this stingy!

Fu Yu secretly complained: Just treat it as a virtual experience of borrowing from the library. Since the reward is being given as a chapter directory, the next tasks are probably centered around completing the directory.

After all, tasks issued by the system are never beyond one’s abilities. As long as he takes the time to learn the incomplete version first, he should be able to manage things without delay.

With this thought, Fu Yu no longer hesitated. It’s better to focus on learning what you have first.

…

Because he intended to befriend Liu Yiming and Xia Anni, Yao Shi was very earnest and sincere during the discussions about the custom medicinal cuisine schedule.

Every detail was clearly explained.

This made Fu Yu sigh with emotion, experts truly are experts!

No wonder he is the high-end NPC in the task.

Even fellow boss Dong Jun Tian falls short in comparison.

After Yao Shi agreed on the specific time for custom medicinal cuisine with the agent, he habitually retreated to Fu Yu’s side.

Normally, if it were a home service, the chef would return to the kitchen to wait here.

If customers have additional orders, they need to respond in time.

This has been a habit formed over many years.

Seeing this, Fu Yu also stepped back skillfully, waiting for Yao Shi to turn around and follow him back to the kitchen.

But at this moment, Liu Yiming suddenly said, “Boss Yao, Chef Fu, you both worked hard today, why don’t you stay and have dinner together?”

This dining invitation surprised everyone!

Even Yao Shi and Fu Yu were both surprised.

To actually invite them for dinner?

Yao Shi hurriedly replied, “No need, this is what we should do!”

Ren Yuchang was secretly delighted!

Liu Yiming, this guy, really has insight.

Truly successful people are always modest and humble. Yao Shi and Fu Yu came for a home service, helping out so much, a simple ‘thank you’ would be enough.

But if there is an intention to connect, then this meal is a great opportunity.

Ordinarily, Ren Yuchang would not interject, but he was very happy to see Yao Shi’s invitation, so he smiled and echoed, “Yes, Chef Fu worked hard all night, let’s eat together. We are all friends, no need to stand on ceremony.”

Yao Shi politely declined, “Really, no need. Please enjoy the medicinal cuisine while it’s hot. Our store has related regulations that need to be followed for service personnel; just because I’m the boss doesn’t mean I can make exceptions.”

“However, next time there is an opportunity, I will definitely invite everyone to dine at our restaurant and try our specialties.”

Having said this, insisting further would probably backfire.

Liu Yiming immediately responded with a smile, “Ah, since your store has regulations, we should abide by them, but let’s agree that we will have a good gathering at your place next time.”

Yao Shi smiled slightly, “That’s a must. Please enjoy the food, we’ll first go to the kitchen to tidy up.”

The medicinal cuisine cooking was very successful, and everyone finally relaxed.

However…watching Fu Yu follow Yao Shi back to the kitchen, Li Zongming frowned slightly.

Because there’s a rule in the store, Yao Shi, as the boss, wants to set an example, which makes sense.

However… to Li Zongming’s ears, this sounded different.

Shouldn’t someone as talented in medicinal cuisine as Fu Yu be nurtured like a treasure?

Just being an employee for the boss, becoming a tool for others to earn money?

Isn’t that a waste of talent?

The medicinal cuisine industry is indeed somewhat declining. Just relying on us old folks with passion to preserve our national essence isn’t enough!

To truly rejuvenate the medicinal cuisine industry, it ultimately depends on the younger generation.

Thinking of this, Li Zongming suddenly came up with a bold idea!

However, this was just the first meeting, and they’re not yet familiar. Being too direct might not be good.

Forget it, haste makes waste.

Everything should be approached gradually…

Fu Yu’s medicinal cuisine was made with great care, not only the portion specially prepared for Xia Anni but even the whole platter of medicinal cuisine was meticulously crafted.

Earlier, everyone was focused on watching Xia Anni dine and did not get to taste the food.

Now they gathered around, each picking up their favorite medicinal cuisine to try.

They had been eager to taste it, and as soon as they did, they all showed expressions of amazement.

Because the ingredients of Fu Yu’s medicinal cuisine were precisely used, the seasoning proportions were perfectly controlled, and the selection of ingredients and herbs was just right, blending both flavors seamlessly, from the medicinal effect to the taste of the dish!

This made everyone even more pleasantly surprised, their breaths becoming quicker.

The customization of the medicinal cuisine was simply perfect!

It was as if he was born to make medicinal cuisine!

Moreover, Fu Yu’s skills in ingredient and herb pairing, as well as the cooking techniques and presentation, were incredibly strong.

Ren Yuchang liked it more and more as he tasted!
