A Divine Farmer

Chapter 357 - Two Ingrates!

“Then what is he trying to do? Is he afraid that we will be bought over by Zhang Xiaolong? Is he trying to dig out more secrets from us? We have followed Master for ten years. What secrets do we need to investigate now?” Hou Guang was also angry. This guy was looking down on them.

The two of them had followed Yang Maocheng's instructions to come here, but now they didn't trust them at all. What kind of situation was this?

“No matter what, I'm afraid we won't be able to return in a short period of time. Unless…” Tong Liang sighed and shook his head.

“Unless what? If Master comes back one day and sees that we are not around, he will think that we have really left. That would be so unfair.” What Hou Guang was most worried about was this.

“It's no use even if I say it. Unless Yang Maocheng can really crush the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant, he won't be at ease if we go back now.” Tong Liang sighed again.

Hearing this, Hou Guang was discouraged. Who was Zhang Xiaolong? What about the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant? Before coming here, they didn't care much about these things, but after coming here, they knew that this place was not simple at all.

Putting aside the fact that he had a deep background, just comparing Zhang Xiaolong and Yang Maocheng, it was obvious who was better.

He was a hundred times more trustworthy to the two chefs who had just thrown themselves at him. He could even think of all kinds of problems for them. Zhang Xiaolong, who had been taken care of and protected, and Yang Maocheng, who had only left for two days and had already become wary of them, no longer believed what they said.

Hou Guang and Yang Maocheng felt like weeping, but no tears came out. They were spies, and the enemy treated them as their own people. Yet, they treated them as spies instead. What was going on here?

“Let's do it. Since Yang Maocheng has said so, we will do as he says. We will eat here for free, and if we don't do anything, it won't be a problem.” Tong Liang said after a moment of silence.

“That's the only thing we can do.” Hou Guang expressed his agreement.

What they meant by doing was not simply working here. Instead, they wanted to show off the skills they had learned before.

Yang Maocheng had also said that they could show off a little, because if they did not show off, they would be chased away sooner or later. No one would hire two useless old men with double the salary.

With their efforts, they would immediately show off their skills. The business of the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant became even more popular.

Zhang Xiaolong was also very happy about this. The chefs in the restaurant were also impressed by their actions. It was as if the two of them had been promoted to the highest position in the restaurant.

If they were still not convinced of the double salary, then no one felt that it was wrong now. They were just amazing, and the dishes they made were delicious. This was their strength, and they did not care about anything else.

Facing everyone's praises, Hou Guang and Tong Liang were filled with complicated feelings.

As a chef, it was their dream to be able to make the guests praise their dishes. This was something that every one of them wanted to do, and it was also the greatest sense of satisfaction. Now, they had almost achieved it.

However, they were also conflicted. Although they did not reveal all of their strength, the quality of the vegetables was simply too good. Just a casual show of their skills would cause their tastes to rise to another level, as if there was no limit.

Although they had praised him, they were still in the restaurant of their opponent. What they were doing now was to put on a show for their future selves.

Could Yang Maocheng defeat Zhang Xiaolong in a restaurant?

The longer they waited, the less confident they became. However, this uncertainty was also changing. At the beginning, they only had one word in their heart: Suspended!

Until now, it was still the same word: Difficult! Furthermore, the two of them could foresee that the final answer would definitely become: Impossible! Damn it, even if it was impossible, it still had to be impossible!

During this period of time, Yang Maocheng made a call and scolded them fiercely on the phone. Because of their ‘efforts', the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant was about to snatch away the business of the Flying Phoenix. Only a few die-hard fans would still go there to eat.

However, this situation was slowly changing. Even if they were die-hard fans, it was impossible for them to only eat at one restaurant. When these people ate something even better than the original, it was hard to say whether they would become mud or not.

Alright, even if they were die-hard fans, they were still die-hard fans. They would occasionally think of the original flavor of the Flying Phoenix. However, was this enough? How many times could they reminisce about the past in a year?

Therefore, Yang Maocheng was furious. The people he sent to deal with Zhang Xiaolong were actually helping Zhang Xiaolong deal with him. This was really infuriating!

However, Hou Guang and Tong Liang were also wronged. They really didn't ‘work hard'. They only showed a little bit of their ability according to his instructions. Who knew that they would be so popular?

“What's the point of telling us all this? Do you think we want to? They didn't even need our help. The dishes they cooked were not any worse than ours. Why don't you think about it?”

Tong Liang was also forced into a corner this time. On the phone, he roared at Yang Maocheng, “Director Yang, if you believe me, go and look for it. Look at which restaurant the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant is using. We did not go against our master. From the beginning to the end, it was you who told us what to do, and we did what you told us to do. If you feel that we were bribed and do not believe us, then no matter how much I say, it will be useless. Anyway, I have said this much. You decide!”

“What did you say?” Yang Maocheng did not expect that this fellow would actually dare to challenge him after only a few days. “Looks like you guys are getting more and more capable. My father is really blind to have taught you all these ingrates. He really taught you a lesson. Good, since you have made your choice, I wish you all the best. When the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant closes down, I will make sure that you two won't be able to survive in Yanjing!”

Hou Guang wanted to explain something, but the phone was already hung up.

“What are you doing? Are we really going to rebel?” Hou Guang asked helplessly.

“If we are going to rebel, then so be it.” Tong Liang was furious. “We are staying here to protect Master's face. Who does Yang Maocheng think he is? He scolds us as if we are his grandsons. If it wasn't for Master's face, I would have quit a long time ago!”

Hou Guang did not object. After thinking for a while, he slapped the table and said, “Yes, not just you, I am also angry. Yang Maocheng, this grandson, other than having the same surname as Master, what is he like? I suspect that he is not Master's biological son!”

“Anyway, Master did not ask us to work in the Flying Phoenix for a lifetime. He said that as long as we work for a good boss, we will be like the Flying Phoenix no matter where we go. But now?” Tong Liang sighed, “I feel that the Flying Phoenix is no longer the Flying Phoenix of the past. On the other hand, the Divine Dragon is not weaker than the Flying Phoenix of the past. It looks even stronger.”

“Then, are we really going to show our skills?” Hou Guang hesitated, and the two of them fell silent again.

While the two of them were discussing, Yang Maocheng called Qiu Yuquan again.
