Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Unparalleled Delicacy

"Boss, I might be a bit presumptuous in saying this, but although the interior design in these renderings seems quite decent, there's still a bit of a gap between this and the top hotels. The space of the rooms is one thing; the surrounding environment is also a crucial factor…" Jiayun Lee said with a wry smile.

A top-class hotel wasn't that easy to build, was it?

No matter how good the interior design was, the surrounding environment remained a significant issue. Many top hotels were located in famous scenery spots with breathtaking views, or in bustling areas, but also offered unique views. In comparison, their hotel's surroundings fell short by far.

The majority of their hotel rooms were also not large, contrasting significantly with those of top-tier hotels. The latter might charge high prices, but each room was two to three times, even four times larger than an average room. How could their hotel rooms compare?

What's more, Lin Yun's pricing plan was too high. A discount rate of 666 wasn't low in the slightest. The original price would be 6,666, which exceeded many of the rates for top hotels of the same tier.

"Decorations? It's only a supplement. The unique feature of our hotel is not its decoration," smirked Lin Yun.

At this point, the two of them had reached the restaurant area.

"Direct the chefs in the kitchen to use this seasoning to create some simple dishes. Just one gram of this seasoning per dish will be sufficient, and other seasonings are not necessary," Lin Yun said to a waiter. He took out a small packet of flavoring from his pocket and handed it over.

"Yes, boss," the waiter replied in surprise, but quickly nodded in agreement.

"This is…" Jiayun Lee was also surprised.

"Didn't I say before that I want to make our hotel and restaurant the best in Shen City? This seasoning is part of my plan for achieving that goal. For now, don't say anything. You'll understand once you taste it once the dishes are ready," Lin Yun said with a slight smile.

Words wouldn't be as convincing as letting Lee taste the dishes made from this unique seasoning. He was confident that her perception would change after trying them.

Afterwards, Lin Yun gestured towards a dining table, inviting Jiayun Lee to sit.

They didn't have to wait long.

In about ten minutes, the hotel chef brought out four platters of dishes; the look on his face was truly that of shock.

Chefs always taste their dishes, especially when they are unfamiliar. With Lin Yun's special instructions, the chef only used the given seasoning for these dishes. Therefore, he had to test them.

The single taste left him utterly astounded.

These simple dishes had been transformed into culinary masterpieces. He was confident he had never eaten anything so delicious before.

"Boss, here are the completed dishes along with the leftover seasoning," the chef said solemnly after he placed the carefully prepared dishes on the table.

It was clear that the dishes tasted extraordinary because of the special spice. Every gram, every milligram of it was absolutely precious. He dared not keep any for himself.

He could predict that this seasoning would cause a sensation in the culinary world. With it, even an ordinary cook could create extraordinary delicacies. This was why he showed such deep respect to Lin Yun who owned this magical ingredient.

In fact, he secretly wished that Lin Yun would entrust him with preparing dishes using this exceptional seasoning. Achieving culinary excellence was his profession's greatest honor.

Jiayun Lee watched the scene, somewhat taken aback. It was just a packet of leftover seasoning. Was it really necessary to return it with such reverence?

She understood this chef's personality well — he was a bit proud. Even when dealing with Hang Lee, he would talk quite casually. But facing Lin Yun, how could he seem so humble?

"Go ahead and taste these dishes," Lin Yun said, pointing to the four plates on the table with a smile.

"Alright," Jiayun Lee nodded.

She was eager to try this highly praised food and see what flavors it held.

"Wow! This smells so good! May I please try some?"

Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang out. A figure swiftly seated herself next to the table, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and eagerly eyed the dishes on the table expectantly.

Seeing Lin Mengmeng's actions, from rushing over to sit down, to picking up chopsticks, Lin Yun could not help chuckling. Lin Mengmeng was evidently a foodie, considering how smooth and practiced her movements were.

Seeing her stare longingly at the dishes on the table reminded him of a puppy begging for food. It was almost impossible to refuse her.

Of course, Lin Yun wouldn't refuse her.

Now, he and Mengmeng were quite familiar, and she was welcome to taste the dishes.

"Since you've already picked up your chopsticks, how could I not let you taste the dishes? This is a new dish our restaurant plans to introduce. Give it a try," Lin Yun said with a smile.

Upon hearing Lin Yun's response, Mengmeng blushed briefly but quickly picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of food. "When I was young, if I didn't train well, I wouldn't get food. What do you know? But having me taste the new dishes of your restaurant is the right move. Let me tell you, I'm a renowned food critic.

If I say it's delicious, and then I post the address of your restaurant on my blog, I can undoubtedly attract many customers for you..."

This girl was a famous food critic?

Lin Yun looked at Mengmeng in surprise. Her delicate figure really did not match her stated profession.

But Lin Yun couldn't continue to talk to Mengmeng.

He looked up and saw Qingqing Xia approaching.

"Brother," greeted Qingqing Xia as she smiled at Lin Yun.

"Come taste these dishes," Lin Yun said with a smile.

"This...this...this..." At this moment, Lin Mengmeng, who had already tasted the dishes, pointed at one of them, stammering, lost for words.

How could these unassuming dishes be this delicious?

Mengmeng was attracted by the aroma of these dishes, but the flavor exceeded her expectations.

"It's delicious!" she finally blurted out, excited.

She quickly started picking up food from all four dishes and started to eat. Her cheeks puffed out excitedly.

"Are they really that good?" Qingqing Xia asked, surprised. She started tasting the food on the table.

"Wow! This is delicious!" The next moment, Qingqing Xia's eyes lit up. She was also excited and started to gobble up the food.

Jiayun Lee was slightly puzzled.

Were these four dishes really that good?

Initially, she was about to try them when Mengmeng arrived, followed soon by Qingqing Xia. Given Mengmeng's high status, and Qingqing Xia's position as the boss's wife, she didn't think it was proper to start eating before them. But seeing their reactions, she couldn't wait to taste the dishes.
