Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 121: The Gu Family Hotel

Translator: Lonelytree

The Gu Family Hotel was a well-known hotel in Xing Yin County.

In the past, the hotel’s head chef was Uncle Chen or Chen Yunshan. The business was extremely good. However, after he retired, things were not the same anymore.

…

In the hotel kitchen, the new head chef, Gu Rufeng, looked at the vegetables on the kitchen rack with a worried expression.

His disciple reported, “Master, the customer said that this stir-fried cabbage is not good. They want us to redo it, or they will lodge a complaint! They have paid for the service, but they are not being treated fairly.”

Gu Rufeng frowned. “It’ll be the same even if we make it again. The ingredients are dehydrated, so the taste will be bad.”

“Then, what should we do? Master Wei was the one who made all the vegetables in the past.” Wang Yang, his disciple, then added with an angry expression, “This Wei Xilin is really a scumbag. It’s one thing for him to leave, but how can he take our supplier with him? Green Source is also ridiculous. They have cooperated with us for decades, but due to Wei Xilin, they decided to cut off cooperation with us without any warning!”

“That’s right! How can these people be so heartless?” The other disciples concurred.

Since the head chef had left, Gu Rufeng had to return to the kitchen to take up the post. He could handle the other dishes just fine, but he would be in trouble if the customers asked for anything made with vegetables. He could try his best, but he couldn’t make miracles.

This was the era when people started to care about personal health. Of course, for now, it was only limited to the rich people.

The vegetable dishes served at Gu Family Hotel were horrendous. Naturally, the customers were not satisfied. This would impact the impression and business of the hotel. Their business went downhill fast, especially since their competition, the Yi Family Hotel, could offer the clients what they wanted.

Gu Rufeng asked the kitchen helper, “Liu Dacheng, has Manager Wang found a new supplier?”

Liu Dacheng shook his head and said, “No. He has been to many vegetable farms lately. Either they have bad quality or not enough quantity. Master Gu, President Gu, and Manager Wang are looking for a solution. We shouldn’t worry.”

Gu Rufeng shouted, “How can I not worry? Can’t you see the dropping number of clients at our hotel? How long must we wait for the solution? Will it come after the hotel shuts down?”

Liu Dacheng and the other disciples lowered their heads. They didn’t dare to make a sound. However, they understood Master Gu’s fury. The constant complaints from the customers didn’t help.

“Third uncle!” At that moment, Gu Ziye came in shouting. He was excited. “Third uncle, I have it…”

“What do you have?” Gu Rufeng was already in a bad mood. It worsened when he saw Gu Ziye. Gu Ziye was the hotel president. Instead of helping out to find a new supplier, all he did was eat!

Gu Rufeng said unhappily, “Gu Ziye, what do you have? A child? I’m warning you. The Gu Family will never admit a bastard child. If I find out you’ve been fooling around, I’ll break your legs.”

Gu Ziye and Wang Zhimin each carried two large bags and hurried in.

Gu Ziye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Third uncle, what are you talking about? I have found new ingredients for us!”

Gu Rufeng didn’t look happy. He frowned and said, “You’ve said that so many times already. In the end, I was always disappointed.” Gu Ziye felt defeated when his third uncle brought up his past failures, but he quickly recovered. He opened the plastic bags and revealed the fresh vegetables inside. He said excitedly, “Third uncle, look! I’ll not fail you this time!”
