C45 There's a Long Way to Go

"What's that smell? Why is it so fragrant!"

Mr Guang smelled the faint fragrance coming from Back Chef and immediately felt empty inside his stomach. He was already hungry, but now he was even hungrier.

The guest he was going to invite today also smelled the fragrance. He could not help but smack his lips and say, "This smell seems to be spicy prawns! But is prawns that fragrant?"

Mr Guang knew that this distinguished guest was a famous foodie. He now somewhat admired this distinguished guest. This distinguished guest could actually know what kind of dishes the chef was cooking just by smelling it. He immediately laughed and said, "Section Chief Zou, now you still feel that the culinary skills of the chefs in this restaurant are not good enough? Just based on this fragrance, I feel that it's not bad. Why don't we eat here? How about it? "

When Section Chief Zou heard this, he nodded his head repeatedly and said," Sure, I'll take back what I said just now. But just smelling the fragrance isn't enough. Let's try two dishes later! "

The woman who had suggested at the beginning saw that even Section Chief Zou had spoken, so she did not say anything else. She just gave Mr Guang a dissatisfied look and quietly pinched Mr Guang's waist. Only then did Mr Guang smile and withdraw his gaze from Cui Wenwen.

Very quickly, two dishes were served by Cui Wenwen. One was the plate of spicy prawns that Lu Shan had just stir-fried. The other plate was an exquisite salad. A few sea ginseng slices were added to the fresh folium nelumbinis. When the sesame oil was poured into the dish, it made people drool.

When the foodie Section Chief Zou saw these two dishes, his eyes immediately lit up. He said, "A good dish is particular about color, fragrance, and taste. I still don't know how these two dishes taste. But just this color and fragrance, I have already given him ninety points. Come. Let's try it together and see how it tastes!"

As he spoke, he did not wait for Mr Guang to greet him. He impatiently picked up his chopsticks and picked up some salad and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then, he chewed the salad a few times and exclaimed in surprise, "Delicious! This is the most delicious salad I've ever eaten. Truly not bad! In the future, if we eat again, we'll choose this restaurant!"

At the same time, Lu Shan, who was busy cooking other dishes in Back Chef, immediately heard a notification sound in his mind, but the system did not say anything else.

He pulled out the Upgrade Box and looked at it in confusion. Then, he was pleasantly surprised to find out that he was in the Profession Upgrade Quest. The completion rate of the quest had changed. The original (0 / 300) person praised. It had changed to (1 / 300) to praise!

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lu Shan's face. In fact, after he had finished mixing the plate of cold dishes, he quietly tasted it. He felt that the taste of this dish was not as good as the dishes cooked with synthesized ingredients. However, the taste was also quite good. At least, he felt that the taste of this dish should not be any worse than the dishes cooked by the chefs of ordinary big hotels!

But the problem was whether this level of standard could receive the sincere praise of the customers or not, he wasn't sure in his heart. After all, even if one ate a delicious dish in a hotel, not everyone could give heartfelt praise. Most people would only remember to come here the next time they ate, even if they thought the dishes tasted better. It was really not easy to get them to praise him!

Therefore, when the two dishes were sent out, he could not help but feel a little nervous. However, he did not expect that there would be a result so soon!

He thought carefully and felt that perhaps it was because he was in a small restaurant that didn't catch his eye. After all, eating in those luxurious and expensive big hotels, even if the dishes were delicious, others would think that it was reasonable. However, when those people ate in such a small restaurant that was comparable to the food in the hotel, it felt completely different.

It was like buying a broken stone at a roadside stall and discovering that there was actually a piece of jade hidden inside. This gave people a feeling like a make use of the loophole.

Many collectors were proud of the make use of the loophole. In fact, what they cared about was not how much money the make use of the loophole could bring him, but the feeling of enjoying this unexpected harvest.

And now, it was the same for those who came to this small restaurant to eat. Originally, they thought that the business of this restaurant was so bad. They estimated that the dishes cooked would definitely not taste good, but they did not expect that the chefs here actually had the standards of the chefs of the big hotel. Such an unexpected surprise naturally caused them to be greatly amazed.

Therefore, in just a short while, Lu Shan found that his mission completion rate had increased by two people's sincere praise. He was still 297 people away from completing the mission to give him a thumbs up! He still felt that there was still a long way to go.

When Lu Shan finished preparing two more dishes, he took some time to check the mission status displayed on the Upgrade Box. However, the mission progress still did not increase!

There were a total of six customers at the table just now, and Lu Shan's craftsmanship gave them a surprise. But he only received praise from three people. From this, it could be seen that even if those customers were very satisfied with Lu Shan's culinary skills, as long as they didn't praise him, they wouldn't increase the mission progress!

Cui Wenwen was standing guard in the hall and naturally heard the praises of the customers. She could not help but feel a little surprised in her heart. However, she was also a little nervous because from the reactions of the guests, it could be seen that... Lu Shan's culinary skills were probably a little higher than what she had imagined. But Lu Shan had such culinary skills, yet he worked in her small restaurant. She felt that it was a little unfair to him! And most importantly, it was not safe for him to work here!

Although the gangsters who came to cause trouble were all chased away by Lu Shan, she knew that the Developer would not let this matter rest. Unless she could bow her head to them and willingly accept huge losses to sign the demolition agreement. Otherwise, they would continue to cause trouble! And the biggest possibility was that they would think of ways to deal with the new chefs in her restaurant and force her to close the restaurant!

In this way, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When the customers at the table were about to finish eating, another group of customers came into the restaurant. This time, there were only three people, all of whom had unfamiliar faces. Speaking of which, Cui Wenwen's previous business was quite good. There were also some regular customers, but ever since her shop was repeatedly harassed by the people from the Developer, basically, no regular customers dared to eat here anymore. Now, only some people who did not know the situation would accidentally walk in.

After cooking the dishes for the guests at this table, Lu Shan received two heartfelt praises. As a result, he received five sincere compliments today. But he only completed half of his daily goal. After that, the store returned to its previous quietness. There were no more customers.

But Lu Shan wasn't really worried about this, because he knew how good his culinary skills were. In addition, the synthetic ginger and garlic were so useful. He believed that he would slowly wait until the reputation of this restaurant became well known. The business would naturally get better and better, and more and more customers would come to visit.
