Chapter 234: The Disruptor of the Food Industry

Zhang Yang picked up a piece of lotus root with chopsticks.

As soon as he took a bite, he realized that things were not simple.

So crisp! These crystal clear lotus roots were of unknown species, and they were crisper than all the lotus roots he had eaten before, and they made a crackling sound when chewed.

And they were very fresh, as if they were just picked and sent to the table not long ago. When Zhang Yang tasted them, he could even imagine the scene of them being pulled out of the mud at the bottom of the lake.

The aftertaste was still a little sweet, and such high-quality lotus roots tasted very good even if they were just eaten dry.

The chef who cooked it was obviously very clear about this, so there was almost no seasoning on the outside. However, when Zhang Yang tasted the original flavor of the lotus root to the maximum, all kinds of flavors burst in his mouth!

So that's it, Zhang Yang suddenly realized that the Universe Infinite Canteen did not season these lotus roots.

It's just that I don't know how to pour the sauce into the vents of the lotus root, and as I chewed, the sauce was released from the vents.

And it was full of flavor, and soon a sour and spicy taste spread in Zhang Yang's mouth.

These lotus root cubes were like taste bombs, which launched rounds of attacks on his taste buds.

Zhang Yang finished the whole plate unknowingly, and then he felt his appetite was opened.

More importantly, he felt that his gradually numb heart was alive again.

Zhang Yang then took out the glasses cloth to wipe his glasses. After so many years, he began to look forward to the next dish that was about to be served.

That person was right, it was really interesting here.

…………

Zhang Yang was particularly efficient this time. After lunch at noon, he updated his public account at 4 pm.

The title of the article is - Universe Infinite Canteen, a disruptor in the food industry!

This article changed Zhang Yang's previous ruthless criticism style and praised the Universe Infinite Canteen and his chef.

He called the latter a genius chef that is rare in a century, with a wild imagination and amazing execution.

Zhang Yang used a dish called Gravy Roasted Onions from the Universe Infinite Canteen this week as an example to explain why he made such an evaluation.

——It was a cooking method I had never seen before. At first glance, it was just an ordinary roasted onion, but in fact, the chef used some method to dehydrate the onion first.

Then the dehydrated onion was filled with gravy. When I tasted this dish, I felt like I was eating a dish and drinking soup.

The rich gravy flowed on the tip of my tongue like a stream flowing through a valley...

At the end of the article, Zhang Yang wrote again.

——I was told that this strange little restaurant changes its menu almost every week. No, it should be said that it had such a tradition earlier when they were still setting up stalls on the street.

No matter how well the dishes sold last week (in fact, their business has always been good), they will still choose to start all over again next week and challenge the unknown.

I saw a chef's absolute confidence in his creativity and skills, and a master's love and unlimited investment in food, constantly challenging himself, challenging the so-called tradition, and challenging all rules...

--If there is any shortcoming here, it should be that the decoration is too perfunctory, and the service staff obviously lacks work experience. Many of them are even college students from nearby who come here to work part-time.

Especially when there are many people, it is easy to be in a hurry and unable to take care of everything. Oh, by the way, I also bought my tables and chairs from the grocery store across the street, and fortunately I can sell them back at a 10% discount.

It is recommended that people who drive here can bring their own folding tables and chairs. As for the price... I think it is very cheap, and I know that many people will definitely be dissatisfied with me saying this.

I spent more than 1,000 yuan on this meal, and I ate almost half of it and packed the rest, so the average cost per person is about 500 yuan.

It is certainly not low if you only look at the absolute value, but compared with the dishes provided by this restaurant, I think this money is worth it.

Anyway, it costs about the same to eat at any Michelin restaurant now, so I would rather come here once a week. In fact, I have decided to do so.

I really don't want to miss any of the dishes here.

After reading the last word, Yu Yitong couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Cindy came over and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Yu Yitong quickly put away her phone.

Cindy asked casually, and seeing that Yu Yitong didn't want to continue, she didn't pester him and turned to talk about other topics.

"What did you say to Mike the day before yesterday? He looked impatient."

"I sent an email saying that the Universe Infinity Canteen has been very popular recently, and there are many discussions on the short video platform, which is quite topical. Should we take advantage of this wave of popularity to include it in our system, and then send experts to taste and score it."

Yu Yitong opened the thermos and drank a sip of water.

Cindy raised her eyebrows, "Did you really say that? Oh, can't you see that Mike doesn't like that restaurant?"

"I can see that."

"Then why do you mention it?"

"Because doing so is good for the company's development, it can get this wave of traffic, and it can also improve the relationship with the Universe Infinite Restaurant. They will definitely become a supernova in the catering industry in the future, and the company will definitely have cooperation with them in the future."

Cindy looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she lowered her voice and said, "Are you a rookie who has just joined the company for a month? Why do you offend your boss for the benefit of the company? What's the point?"

"Well, I don't want anything. I'm just working hard." Yu Yitong said softly.

"Ah, I really don't know what you are thinking. You know Mike won't agree, and strictly speaking, this matter is not under the jurisdiction of our department. According to regulations, the company will usually send people to conduct preliminary inspections after a new store opens for two months."

"But aren't there some stores that are included and reviewed as soon as they open?"

"Those are usually managed by famous chefs, of course they are different."

"Mike is a middle-level manager of the company and has the right to make suggestions on this matter." Yu Yitong said.

"Did he agree to it?"

"No."

"That's it, you've upset him again." Cindy said and then thought of something, "Hey, I saw you seemed to be very close to the people in the rating department the other day, could it be that you were talking about this?"

"No, no," Yu Yitong said seriously, "Overstepping the level is a taboo in the workplace, I know that, and it's across departments, I just asked Sister Maggie for some accounts of famous food critics to follow and learn how they write articles."

"That's good." Cindy breathed a sigh of relief, "Anyway, don't mention that small restaurant in front of Mike in the near future."

"I know, Sister Cindy." Yu Yitong smiled and agreed.

Cindy felt that she couldn't see through Yu Yitong anymore. Yu Yitong looked very depressed for two days before, and she was also confused when she came to work, like a walking corpse.

But now she seems to have regained her motivation and has become more dedicated than before.

This should be... a good thing, right?
