Chapter 140 Inviting Guests from the Entertainment Industry
A vast collection of urban fiction works to satisfy your reading preferences.
Wu Tao returned to the capital at the beginning of the month and busied himself with some trivial matters until December 15th.
Today is the day he's hosting friends: Yang Mi, Dilraba, Gulnazar, Chen He, Liu Gang, Jia Ling, Li Qin, Wu Jing, Yang Zi, and Wang Baoqiang—people Wu Tao has met before.
Some of them were Yang Mi, Gulnazar, and their friends. The courtyard house had five tables reserved for a hundred people today.
Even the two private rooms in the courtyard were activated. Wu Tao planned to use this opportunity to entertain celebrities and make his private restaurant famous overnight.
Around 5 p.m., Chen He, Yang Mi, and Gulnazar arrived first.
Wu Tao only came out and chatted with them briefly before telling them to make themselves at home.
Li Qian'er and Sun Shiliu, as the lobby managers, led ten waiters in uniform to begin greeting guests.
The gatekeeper hired a security guard to open the garage door for everyone and direct guests to park their cars in the underground parking lot.
Yang Mi, Chen He, and Gulnazar, as Wu Tao's good friends, are also considered half-hosts, along with Li Qian'er and Sun Shiliu, who continuously welcome new guests.
People came out of respect for Yang Mi, Gulnazar, and Chen He, so naturally they were very supportive.
Many people sent flower baskets, and Wu Tao had instructed that no monetary gifts would be accepted today, so everyone could simply enjoy the food.
Chen He, Yang Mi, and Gulnazar all know that Wu Tao is a wealthy man now. Rather than the monetary gift, it would be enough if everyone present could come more often in the future.
However, after seeing the prices of the private kitchen restaurant, many people started whispering among themselves.
Chen He, Yang Mi, and Gulnazar all looked somewhat worried, feeling that Wu Tao had been overconfident.
After all, even the top restaurants in the capital don't dare to price their food like this. Does that mean Wu Tao's dishes are better than those of the top restaurants?
As for the private kitchen only booking six tables a day, no one found it strange.
Many people even suspect that this place might close down after today.
After all, very few people can afford such an outrageous price.
Because Wu Tao didn't inform Chen He, Yang Mi, and Gulnazar beforehand, they could only pretend they didn't know.
At least Wu Tao isn't charging money today, so let's just treat it as a bit of fun.
Li Qian'er and Sun Shiliu naturally saw and heard many people talking about her.
Some people even deliberately let the two of them hear, but Li Qian'er and Sun Shiliu were in no hurry to explain anything.
In fact, 80% of the guests who came today are not going to be guests of the private kitchen in the future.
Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone here today is a celebrity, screenwriter, director, or photographer. Those who are truly willing to come to this private kitchen for a meal must be people of high status.
It's really unfair to expect people who only earn a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan a month to spend thousands of yuan on a single meal here.
According to the owner, Wu Tao, the private kitchen restaurant doesn't actually need to do that much business each month.
Even if I only cook a dozen or so meals a month, I can still support everyone.
Alternatively, Wu Tao could rely on the interest from his own savings to keep everyone going.
Of course, this is just Wu Tao expressing that he is very capable and that people don't need to worry about losing their jobs.
In fact, Wu Tao was confident that they would all give him a thumbs up after they finished eating.
Chen He, Yang Mi, Gulnazar, Yang Zi, and many others have all eaten Wu Tao's cooking, and some have even eaten it more than once.
However, that was in the wilderness; this time it's actually in the city.
With the right tools, perfect ingredients, and plenty of seasonings, Wu Tao ate the meal in complete silence.
The guests, who were initially unimpressed, stopped chatting after taking the first bite.
The once bustling courtyard suddenly fell silent. Well, not exactly, there was no conversation, but rather the sound of people wolfing down their food.
Chen He, Yang Mi, and Gulnazar exchanged glances, feeling they had been ripped off.
If I had known Wu Tao could cook such delicious food, I would have made sure he brought plenty of seasonings and knives when we were trying to survive.
Not only was the food exceptionally delicious today, but the presentation of the dishes was also absolutely amazing.
Such superb knife skills are unbelievable unless you see them with your own eyes.
The key feature is that the carved designs on the plating are also edible, and they taste quite good.
Lifelike cranes spreading their wings, dragons soaring to the sky, and tigers descending the mountain—this is not just about tasting delicious food, but also an exhibition of works by a master of superb knife skills.
It was 10 p.m. before all the guests were seen off.
Wu Tao was finally able to sit down and chat with his friends.
Chen He looked at Wu Tao.
"Wu Tao, I can't believe it. When we used to say you were a good cook, it was 70% true and 30% false, but today I think it's at least 90% true. You don't know how many people who mocked you for being greedy for money just now never mentioned saying those things again."
"Haha, it's alright, as long as everyone enjoys the meal."
Yang Mi found it somewhat amusing to look at Wu Tao, who was feigning modesty.
"Alright, we thought we were helping you get business, but who knew your cooking skills were so amazing? I'm afraid we did something a little wrong today."
"Sister Mi, don't say that. Even the best cooking skills will eventually be recognized by someone. I, Wu Tao, will always remember everyone's help today. In the future, when you entertain your friends, feel free to come here. After all, it's our own restaurant. Whether the food is good or not is another matter, but you can rest assured."
"Okay, Wu Tao, I've decided to be your friend."
"Get lost, Nazha, aren't you just here to freeload?"
"Hey Wu Tao, I'll fight you to the death! You called me an idiot!"
After Nazha finished speaking, she pounced on Wu Tao and started pinching him. Everyone else watched Nazha and Wu Tao playfully fighting, and they all laughed non-stop.
Several people had already noticed that Nazha's attitude towards Wu Tao was different, and even viewers watching the second season of the survival show were certain that something was wrong between Nazha and Wu Tao.
Yang Mi has been creating opportunities for the two of them. If she weren't already married, she herself would want to have a relationship with Wu Tao.
Previously, Wu Tao had some wealth, but not the real strength and status to match it.
Now everyone knows that Wu Tao will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.
With culinary skills reaching this level, the private kitchen will inevitably attract high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the future.
Yang Mi was referring to the friends they invited, many of whom were not qualified to spend money here.
Through today's meal, everyone realized that Wu Tao's true strengths go far beyond just his survival skills.
Especially considering Wu Tao's pricing, a quick calculation by the group revealed how much money Wu Tao would make in the future.
When the time comes, the person who will be the most successful among them will actually be no match for Wu Tao, the chef.
It was at this moment that Nazha truly made up her mind to develop a relationship with Wu Tao.
After all, Wu Tao's culinary skills have already proven that he will not be just another ordinary person in the future.
In any industry, reaching the top can make you a talent.
