Chapter 449 The incident happened
"Bah, what a thing! His cooking skills are not good at all." After the chef ran out of the kitchen, Yan Jiecheng let out a "Pah" sound and complained about his own chef.

There were other chefs in the kitchen, and their faces immediately turned grim when they saw this scene.

With Yan Jiecheng's personality, how could he possibly pay his employees such high salaries?

Yan Jiecheng is of the same character as his father, very calculating. Ever since he changed his restaurant into a hotpot restaurant, the chef's salary has not been that high.

Since he plans to use the hot pot base produced by Li Shengli's new factory this time, there is no need to pay the original chef a high salary. As for jobs like cutting meat and vegetables, he doesn't need a good chef, just someone with some knife skills will do.

Of course, this part of the money has to be made up from other places, such as the wages of the chefs they don't need.

"Just work hard. As long as you work hard, I won't fire you." Yan Jiecheng also took this opportunity to make an example of someone.

"Yes, boss, we got it." Inspired by Yan Jiecheng's words, the rest of the people felt a sense of grief for the loss of their loved ones.

After Yan Jiecheng left, the others gathered together and started whispering.

"What do you think Yan Jiecheng was thinking? He even fired Chef Guo, who specialized in making hot pot base."

"What else can I think? They must have got some new hot pot base from somewhere."

"Do you think it's possible that he has found a new master chef?"

"Impossible. Our chef Guo is just a junior chef. I don't know who he learned how to cook the hot pot base from and that's how he got into this restaurant."

"How could Yan Jiecheng, who is so stingy, spend a lot of money to hire a real master chef?"

"Then tell me what Yan Jiecheng is thinking. The only person who knows how to cook hot pot base has been driven away. If he doesn't find a replacement quickly, then he will not be able to continue his business."

"Who knows? Maybe he got some new hot pot base from somewhere."

"Hey, I heard that the Happy Hotpot restaurant over there has been renovated and renamed. It's now called Master Li's Hotpot Restaurant. Although the name is tacky, the taste of the hotpot there is extraordinary."

"I said you haven't smelled enough of this hot pot. I don't want to mention this thing at all."

People who work in hot pot restaurants usually stop liking hot pot after working for a long time.

"Oh, Yan Jiecheng is too stingy. Sometimes I even think about going somewhere else to work. When Master Li's hotpot restaurant opened, I wanted to give it a try."

"Come on, you're lucky to have a job now."

There are not so many job opportunities now, and many people don’t have a good job.

Those who are truly knowledgeable and willing to do business have already volunteered to go into business.

There are still many unemployed people out there.

"Is the problem resolved?" Seeing Yan Jiecheng coming back, Yu Li leaned over and whispered.

"Solved. This guy didn't know what was good for him and just left on his own."

In Yan Jiecheng's opinion, simply reducing his salary was already merciful enough. Who would have thought that this person would just leave? This was exactly what he wanted. At that time, he would not have to hire another chef and could just hire a vegetable cutter.

Then the two of them spent less than the market price to find someone with decent knife skills to replace the original chef. When the new employee first entered the kitchen of the hot pot restaurant, he was still wondering why there was no chef. It was not until Yan Jiecheng came to the kitchen with a large bag of Luo's hot pot base of various flavors that they suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Yan Jiecheng did not need a chef.

After they dissolved the hot pot base, they realized that Master Guo's craftsmanship was really terrible. Other people's mass-produced hot pot bases were better than his.

"Do you think our stingy boss would just give this to customers to eat?"

Yan Jiecheng's move really caught these people off guard. Why did people come to the hot pot restaurant? Could it be for something they could eat at home?
Ever since using Master Luo's hot pot base produced by Li Shengli's factory, Yan Jiecheng's business has indeed improved a lot, which made Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li a little overjoyed.

Even though the hot pot base cost a lot of money, it was all earned back from these ingredients.

Until one day, someone came to their store who had not reserved a table at Li Shengli's Master Li Hotpot Restaurant.

As soon as he tasted it, he could tell that the hot pot base of Yan Jiecheng's family was somewhat similar to that of Master Li's hot pot restaurant, but Master Li's hot pot restaurant used broth to cook the hot pot, while Yan Jiecheng used ordinary tap water.

More importantly, this person also loves to eat hotpot. After cooking hotpot at home with Master Luo's hotpot base, he found that the taste of his hotpot was not as good as that of Master Li's hotpot restaurant, so he decided to go to Master Li's hotpot restaurant for a meal.

Unexpectedly, he arrived a little late and there was no place available. He had no choice but to find a hotpot restaurant nearby, which was opened by Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

When he ate the bottom of the pot, he almost overturned the pot. This was like treating him like a fool.

It would be fine if a hotpot restaurant didn't have its own specialty products, but the hotpot base they used was actually produced and sold by someone else's factory. What's more important is that Yan Jiecheng and his team actually used boiling water as the broth.

"Call out your manager." The diner shouted fiercely at the waiter.

This put the waiter in a difficult position.

"Sir, do you have any questions?" Yu Li walked over from the cashier counter after seeing the situation here.

"I think your restaurant is really great, but you use this kind of rubbish to fool people." The diner's words gave Yu Li a bad feeling.

"What's wrong? Let's talk it over nicely." Yu Li still wanted to comfort the customer, but she couldn't ruin her own store again.

"What else? I just want to ask you, did you make this hot pot base yourself? Is what you added broth?"

Yu Li's heart trembled when these words were spoken. She must have met someone who knew the business.

"Sir, let's talk slowly." Yu Li wanted to suppress the matter first.

"What are you talking about? What level of spiciness do you use for your hot pot base? It's exactly the same as what I make at home, but it's not even as good as what I make at home."

Of course the diner would not be happy about this. Was he going to come here and spend so much money just to eat this hotpot sold outside?
"When I was at home, I used chicken soup, but you just used plain water."

"Sir, please keep your voice down. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me." Yu Li glanced around and many people looked over.

"Okay, don't say anything. I haven't even touched your hot pot. I might as well go home and buy a pack of Luo's hot pot base and make it myself."

The diner looked at Yu Li unhappily. This restaurant really disappointed him.
