Chapter 150 Su Xiaoxiao names it "Thirteen Spices"

The kitchen counter was piled high with dishes and seasonings, but the head chef still looked worried. His eyes lit up when he saw Su Xiaoxiao come in from outside.

Manager Wang initially thought it was some kind of trade secret and was about to ask everyone except the head chef to leave, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him.

"It's nothing, it's not a secret. It's just a seasoning that all of you chefs will need in the future."

Su Xiaoxiao said she could make these dishes according to the customers' requests, which shocked the kitchen staff, who didn't believe it was true.

After washing the cabbage, Su Xiaoxiao asked for a plate of tofu. These were all very light dishes, and to make them taste good, it really depended on the seasonings and the cooking time.

The other chefs all thought Su Xiaoxiao was bragging, so they watched coldly from the sidelines.

Everyone was almost disappointed when they saw Su Xiaoxiao stir-frying the oil normally, then adding salt, and there was nothing special about it.

Su Xiaoxiao actually took out a small packet of seasoning from her bag. After sprinkling the powder onto the dishes, the chefs smelled a very rich aroma in the air. "This..."

Indeed, everyone could smell the aroma of meat in this dish that was as vegetarian as could be, and they couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoxiao in amazement.

The head chef of Baxianlou Restaurant hurriedly asked Su Xiaoxiao.

"Mr. Su, may I take a look at this packet of your seasoning?"

"it is good."

The head chef of Baxianlou Restaurant held the small packet of seasoning to his nose and smelled it. Finally, he said, "Excellent. This flavor is indeed extraordinary. I wonder what seasoning my wife would like to name this?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I named myself Thirteen Spices."

After both dishes were ready, Su Xiaoxiao placed a cabbage and a tofu dish on the counter in the back kitchen, and then invited the kitchen staff of Baxianlou to come and taste them.

Everyone looked at Manager Wang. At this moment, Manager Wang picked up his chopsticks and reached for the tofu and cabbage. The dishes looked quite delicious, a flavor they had never tasted before.

As expected, the flavor was different from what I usually cook. After chewing a few more times, the aroma of the vegetables began to slowly enter my mouth along with the essence of the vegetables. It was really full of meaty flavor, as if there was a lot of meat in these vegetables.

However, he didn't actually leave any meat behind. With this question in mind, Manager Wang picked up another piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. This piece of tofu was simply too wonderful. It was the kind of tofu that, when eaten, felt like suddenly being transported to a lush green meadow. One couldn't help but marvel at the charm of Su Xiaoxiao's Thirteen Spices.

Seeing Wang's performance, the other chefs also quickly came over and reached out their chopsticks towards the two dishes.

Soon, both dishes were left with empty plates.

"Thank you so much, Boss Su. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how we would have ended things today."

Manager Wang was very grateful to Su Xiaoxiao, but a chef standing nearby tasted the flavor on his chopsticks, then leaned over to smell the packet of seasoning Su Xiaoxiao had brought. He asked, "What exactly is this seasoning? Boss Su, could you tell us? We're worried that our guests today are important people, and it wouldn't be good if they ate something they didn't understand and got sick."

This reminded Manager Wang that tonight's dinner was very important, and offending these two guests would be disastrous.

He was afraid that if something really happened, he would have no way to explain it.

After thinking for a moment, Manager Wang asked Su Xiaoxiao hesitantly.

"Mr. Su, I'd like to know what seasonings make up this Thirteen Spices?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's troubled expression and noticing the chef's apparent amusement, Su Xiaoxiao finally spoke up: "These seasonings are actually all from a pharmacy, and I've created my own thirteen-ingredient blend through various methods. We've eaten them many times at home, and we've even given them to our neighbors and friends. Everyone who's tried them has had no problems."

Su Xiaoxiao changed the subject, "However, I cannot reveal all of these recipes to the public. These are my own inventions, private recipes, and I cannot disclose them."

The cook who had just made things difficult for Su Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up from the crowd.

"The formula is unclear and cannot be used!" "This..."

Manager Wang was in a dilemma; he didn't know what to do.
Seeing the shopkeeper's troubled expression, Su Xiaoxiao smiled.

He put away the packet of Thirteen Spices and said to Manager Wang, "Since Manager Wang is in a difficult position, I will take my leave. You should try other methods."

After saying that, she picked up the thirteen-spice seasoning and walked out of the kitchen of Baxianlou.

When Manager Wang saw that Su Xiaoxiao was about to leave, he stomped his foot angrily.

"Great idea! You do it! Let's see if you can make it taste like meat."

He said this to the chef who had just raised the question.

Although the chef was very reluctant that everyone valued Su Xiaoxiao so much, and had deliberately made things difficult for her earlier, he really didn't have the ability to cook the dish.

Do you know how important our guest is tonight?

Manager Wang continued.

"Then we can't take such a risk."

This chef's words did indeed garner agreement from some other chefs.

"Yes, it is indeed an adventure, but have you considered that this is also an opportunity? If we can win the favor of these distinguished guests, won't our reputation for the Eight Immortals Restaurant be greatly enhanced?"

"You don't need to worry about this. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong, okay?"

After leaving those words, Manager Wang went out and caught up with Su Xiaoxiao, who was about to leave.

"Take care, Mr. Su."

Although the chef behind him looked righteous and seemed to say that he wouldn't cook if the chef used this seasoning, his decision was not accepted by the other chefs.

If you quit, the other chefs don't want to quit with you.

Since Manager Wang is backing them up and taking responsibility, this matter will be much easier to resolve.

"Mr. Su, I'm so sorry. My chef was being inconsiderate and caused you trouble."

"Have you decided to use my Thirteen Spices?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"Yes, Mr. Su, I believe you."

"Okay, let's do it this way."

Of course, the kitchen isn't just staffed by that chef; his opinion doesn't count.

For other chefs, making these few dishes would be a piece of cake.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to know the final result and whether the two distinguished guests were satisfied with the Thirteen Spices seasoning.

She stayed behind to see how the final reaction would be.
