Chapter 208
Li Feng doesn't have the bad habits of those nouveau riche.
He can go anywhere as long as the food tastes good.
He was just a little surprised. How could such a delicate girl like Liu Qingqing come here to eat?
However, Li Feng didn't think much about it and followed Liu Qingqing into the restaurant.
"Uncle Li!"
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Liu Qingqing shouted loudly.
"Oh, it's Qingqing, you haven't been here for a long time!"
"Hurry up and sit down!"
As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man in his fifties came out of the kitchen.
When the man saw Liu Qingqing, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
While talking, he greeted the two.
The man was not tall, about 1.7 meters, and his weight was not fat.
About 140 kilograms, which is considered middle-aged obesity.
Then, the man's eyes fell on Li Feng:
"Qingqing, is this your boyfriend? He's handsome!"
The man's words immediately made Liu Qingqing's pretty face blush.
This was her first time bringing a boy here, so it was no wonder that the boss misunderstood.
"Uncle Li, this is my leader, not my boyfriend. He invited me to dinner, so I brought him here to taste your cooking skills!"
Liu Qingqing explained with a smile.
"Oh, so that's it! Okay, then you sit for a while, I'll cook a few dishes for you!"
The boss said with a smile.
"Well, thank you Uncle Li!"
"Oh, why are you being polite to your uncle? Wait, it will be soon!"
"Yeah!"
...
"Boss Li, are you curious about why I am so familiar with this boss?"
Liu Qingqing held her chin with both hands and looked at Li Feng with a smile.
"Well, I'm really curious!"
"With your position in the Chu Group, you should have a lot of income. Why would you come to such a small workshop to eat?"
Li Feng already knew that Liu Qingqing's father and Chu Tianxing were old friends.
Although Liu Qingqing's father had passed away, because Chu Tianxing and Liu's father were close friends, Liu Qingqing had always been well taken care of.
Otherwise, Chu Tianxing would not have brought Liu Qingqing to his side to train her personally.
Since he trained her personally, the treatment would definitely not be bad.
This can be seen from the luxury brands on Liu Qingqing's body.
Apart from anything else, the Cartier earrings on her ears alone cost tens of thousands.
So, Liu Qingqing is rich.
A rich girl coming to a small workshop to eat does not match her outfit.
"Haha, Mr. Li, don't underestimate this Uncle Li. He used to be a state banquet chef!"
State banquet chef?
Li Feng was stunned.
How could a chef of state banquets fall to such a low level as to open such a small restaurant?
If a chef of state banquets is willing, he can be a chef-level person whether he works in a five-star hotel or a Michelin hotel.
His annual salary is at least hundreds of thousands.
But this small workshop is located in such a remote place, and the area is so small. The number of people who come to eat every day cannot cover the rent of the house, right?
Maybe he doesn't make as much as the small supermarket next door.
How could a chef of state banquets fall to such a low level today?
"Mr. Li, do you think I'm talking nonsense? How could a chef of state banquets open a shop in such a small workshop?"
Seeing Li Feng's dazed look, Liu Qingqing took the initiative to ask.
"Yeah!"
Li Feng did not hide it and nodded honestly.
"Hehe, it's actually very simple!"
Then Liu Qingqing briefly introduced the identity of this Boss Li.
Boss Li's original name was Li Youji.
He is indeed a chef of state banquets.
Moreover, he was the head chef among the state banquet chefs.
With his status, after he withdrew from the state banquet kitchen, the bosses of those top hotels and Michelin three-star restaurants all visited him, hoping to invite Li Youji to be the head chef.
However, Li Youji was tired of the intrigue in the top kitchen.
Although he would be the head chef, there are rivers and lakes where there are people. If he went to a big factory, he would definitely encounter all kinds of disgusting things.
Li Youji didn't like these.
So, he simply returned to Shanghai with his savings over the years and opened such a small restaurant.
In fact, the landlord of this small restaurant and the small supermarket next door is the same person.
This person is Li Youji.
Both stores were bought in the early years. Although they are old and small now, they are still in a good location and the price is also very high.
Take the small supermarket next door for example, it is about 60 square meters.
But the annual rent is about 300,000.
For a small supermarket, it is still very high.
But the business is so good that after deducting the rent, the supermarket owner can still make 200,000 or 300,000 yuan a year.Very relaxed.
Originally, the supermarket and Li Youji's small restaurant belonged to the same store.
The total area of the store is more than 100 square meters.
But land is expensive here, and no one is willing to rent such a large store.
So, Li Youji simply separated it and kept 40 square meters for himself to open a small restaurant.
Although the restaurant is small, the price is not high and the taste is good, so the restaurant business is particularly good.
The annual income is not less than that of the restaurant.
Fortunately, the residents around don't know that Li Youji used to be a state banquet chef. If they knew, the threshold of the restaurant would be trampled.
However, today is a working day, and there is still some time before the meal, so it is not busy.
As for why Liu Qingqing knows this Li Youji?
That's naturally because of Liu's father.
Liu's father and Li Youji used to be high school classmates.
After graduating from high school, because neither of them was admitted to college, they went out to find a job together.
At that time, both of them were in Shanghai, Liu's father entered the venue, and Li Youji entered the restaurant.
Later, Li Youji learned and became a chef for state banquets.
Liu's father also started a business.
Liu's father died when Liu Qingqing was in high school. At that time, Li Youji had returned here to open this small shop.
Therefore, before Liu's father died, he often brought his wife and children to take care of his old friend's voice.
Later, when Liu's father died, Liu Qingqing would often come here.
On the one hand, she missed her father, and on the other hand, it was because Li Youji's cooking skills were really good, making people linger.
"I didn't expect that he was really a chef for state banquets!"
"It seems that I am blessed today!"
Li Feng said with a smile.
The skills of state banquet chefs are indeed not so easy to come across.
Especially Li Youji is the chef in the state banquet.
Such a person would not cook casually even in a top restaurant.
It is indeed a blessing to meet here.
"Well, once you have tasted Uncle Li's cooking, you will love it!"
Liu Qingqing said with a smile.
"Yeah!"
Then, the two began to chat.
Li Youji was very fast, and the dishes were served in just ten minutes.
There were six dishes in total, two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, one soup, and one seafood dish.
Shanghai is a coastal city, so there is still a lot of seafood.
However, this seafood is just ordinary swimming crabs, not some precious ingredients such as Australian lobsters.
