Chapter 35: Long Jing Liushui Pavilion
"Xiao Tang, the company has a lot of things recently, and the formula is in a critical period of improvement. If there is no special thing, it is better not to ask for leave. After this period, I will give you a big vacation and the company will pay you to go abroad to play." Mr. Zheng said.
"I have something important and I have to ask for leave. I will arrange work. I will speed up the work after I come back. It will not affect the company's formula improvement plan. If there is any delay, I am willing to take all the responsibility." Tang Xien heard something wrong with Li Mu's tone and was very worried.
"Xiao Tang, it's really not possible now. The company really can't wait. The company cannot have a technical director now. If you really want to take leave, then we can only hire another technical director." Mr. Zheng said with some displeasure.
"Since that's the case, please help me with the resignation procedures." Tang Xien was not an impulsive person. Before she called, she had already thought of all the possibilities and was mentally prepared.
"Xiao Tang, you have to think clearly that your contract has not expired yet. If you want to resign now, you will need to compensate a large amount of liquidated damages." Mr. Zheng's voice became cold.
"I will pay the liquidated damages, so that's it." Tang Xien hung up Mr. Zheng's phone number and re-dialized Li Mu's phone number and asked softly: "Where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to a place with the world's top food. It is best to set out immediately and get to a place within a day, and to eat the place where the top chef cooks it in person without making an appointment." Li Mu was a little happy. He thought that Tang Xien would not agree to go, but he didn't expect that Tang Xien actually agreed to accompany him.
"Is this kind of place?" Tang Xien pondered for a while before speaking, "Then let's go to Changjing Liushuiting. A master-level Japanese chef has been invited to work there these days. The location is in S City. Now, it takes only more than two hours to make a plane. I know the boss of that family. I should be able to taste the master's cuisine without having to queue up."
"Okay, then go to Changju Liushui Pavilion." Li Mu agreed happily and handed over his choice of fate to Tang Xien. Moreover, S City is also a major city, with many top hotels. Even if the master who has been visiting Liushui Pavilion, he still has time to go to other hotels in S City.
After booking a plane ticket, the two made an appointment to meet at the airport. After Li Mu met Tang Xien, he reached out to hold Tang Xien's hand. Tang Xien did not break free and allowed Li Mu to hold it until he got on the plane.
"Why did you suddenly want to eat delicious food?" Sitting on the plane, Tang Xien asked Li Mu with a smile.
"I just want to do what I want to do while I am young." Li Mu held Tang Xien's hand and saw that the other passengers were not paying attention, so he gently kissed Tang Xien's cheek.
"You bad guy, you know you don't have a good intention." Tang Xien gave Li Mu a charming look, without any intention of being angry.
"Since I know that I am not kind, why do you still want to accompany me?" Li Mu was also a little confused. He didn't expect that Tang Xien would really leave his job to accompany him, but he didn't expect that Tang Xien would give more to accompany him than he imagined.
"Who is here to accompany you? You think it's pretty. I just want to relax and eat some delicious food." Tang Xienyan said insincerely.
After the two got off the plane, Tang Xien called a friend. It should be the boss who drove the long-distance water pavilion. It looked very smooth. The boss should have agreed to let them go to the line to taste the master chef's cuisine.
The building of Changshui Pavilion is unique and built on the mountain wall. It is all made of wooden structure. There is a mountain spring pouring from the mountain wall and flowing through the entire Changshui Pavilion, making the entire Changshui Pavilion sit on the gurgling water, sitting on the wooden floor, looking at the flowing water outside, drinking wine and eating delicious food, which is a very pleasant thing.
Changjing Liushuiting sells Japanese cuisine, which is also one of the top Japanese cuisine restaurants in S City. With the special style here, the price is also the most expensive in S City.
"Xien, we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's great that you still remember me as an old friend." Li Mu and Tang Xien arrived outside the Changshui Pavilion, and a man in his thirties, with a handsome and graceful appearance came up.
"Tianyou, you are now the general manager of Changshuiting Pavilion and a famous gourmet. You must be very busy. How dare I disturb you casually?" Tang Xien said with a smile.
"Haha, others don't have time to ask me for it. You, beautiful lady Tang, come. Even if I'm busy, I have to take time to accompany you." Yang Tianyou looked at Li Mu next to him, frowned slightly, and then asked with a smile: "This gentleman is the friend you mentioned by Xi'en, right?"
"Yes, this is Li Mu, Li Mu. This is Yang Tianyou, a classmate from my former college years. He is now the general manager of Changjing Liushuiting and a famous food program host." Tang Xien introduced.
"Good luck." Li Mu shook hands with Yang Tianyou. Yang Tianyou asked with a smile: "Mr. Li is also from City H. I don't know where Mr. Li is tall?"
"I can't be considered high, I'm an assistant manager of a club." Li Mu replied.
"So that's it. I'm ready for the room. Let's talk later." Yang Tianyou felt a little contemptuous when he heard that Li Mu was just an assistant to the manager of a club.
The three of them arrived in a wooden pavilion, surrounded by bamboo and wooden curtains. The entire wooden pavilion was like a bridge and was mounted on the water flow. The breeze blew, and the wind chimes hanging on the eaves jingled.
The three of them sat on the ground, with a wooden table in the middle. The female tea ceremony teacher in a kimono used gentle and wonderful movements to make cups of tea with various tea sets and delivered them to the three of them one by one.
Yang Tianyou and Tang Xien leaned over and nodded slightly, expressed their gratitude to the female tea ceremony master, then turned the cup and turned it a few times before taking a sip, and then said, "Good tea."
Li Mu didn't understand the rules at all. He took the tea and drank it in one sip. He was also a little thirsty. However, after the tea was in his mouth, although he had no idea about tea before, the name of this kind of tea appeared in his mind.
Lemon scores as many as three stars for this kind of tea, and the tea and water themselves, as well as the skills of the female tea ceremony master are already considered good.
Judging from Li Mu's appearance, Yang Tianyou's contempt in his heart became a little more. He was originally a little hostile to Li Mu, but seeing Li Mu's performance, he felt that a woman like Tang Xien would not fall in love with such a vulgar person, and it should be just an ordinary friend.
Yang Tianyou clapped his hands and another woman in a kimono came. Yang Tianyou said to her: "Help me see if Master Qingjuro's cooking is ready. If it is ready, bring it over immediately."
The woman responded and slowly retreated out of Muting.
In the kitchen, Kiyoshiro frowned slightly: "Why is there an extra menu here?"
"This is what Manager Yang takes special care of. I hope the master can make the dishes on this menu first." The executive chef next to him quickly said with a smile.
"Sorry, I will only cook according to the menu I will follow. Please put this menu where it should be." Kiyoshiro put the menu aside.
"But, this is the special care of Manager Yang." He looked at Kiyoshiro with some embarrassment.
"I was just invited to do things. I have my own principles in doing things. If Manager Yang is dissatisfied with me, he can terminate the contract with me." Qingjuro said calmly.
"Master Kiyojuro, that's not what I mean." The Executive Chef cursed in his heart. This little Japanese really doesn't know how to adapt. What's the big deal about changing the order of the menu.
"If there is nothing else, please let me work quietly." Kiyojuro said again.
"Okay, Master Qingjuro, you'll be busy first." The executive chef felt a little worried. Manager Yang had to treat his friends now. If this was the turn, he would probably have to wait two or three hours before he could eat Shangjuro's cuisine.
When the executive chef saw the Qingjuro disciple Izumi Chanyue who was working as the assistant of Kiyoshiro, his eyes lit up and he held the menu and said to Kiyoshiro: "Master Kiyoshiro, can you ask your disciple Izumi Chanyue to help with this menu?"
Izumi Sunyue also cooked a lot of cooking alone. In the eyes of the executive chef, Izumi Sunyue's craftsmanship is no less than that of Qingjuro.
"I have already had nine points of my true knowledge last month. If you can trust him, you can also hand it over to him to make this menu. However, when serving it to the guests, please tell the guests that the chef of this dish is Izumi Chanzuki." Kiyosuro stopped the work in his hand and looked at the executive chef and said.
"Okay, that's certain." The executive chef thought to himself that Izumi's craftsmanship was almost the same as that of Kiyoshiro, and he used the same materials. Even professional figures like him could not be distinguished, and most people could not distinguish them.
Even Yang Tianyou couldn't tell the difference between Izumi and Kiyoshiro. As long as he didn't say it later, Yang Tianyou didn't know that this was the dish made by Izumi, let alone those laymen.
The executive chef agreed and handed over the menu to Quan Shangyue. Quan Shangyue took the menu and carefully completed every dish on the menu, and quickly completed all the dishes.
The executive chef quickly asked the waitress to come and take the dishes out. Before leaving, he specifically instructed the waitress to say that it was Master Kiyoshiro's own cooking.
Yang Tianyou was talking a lot, detailing his various managers in the food industry, how to taste delicious food from all over the world, and how to invite Master Qingjuro to sit in Changjing Liushui Pavilion.
