Chapter 4 Wake Up Early to Save People
"Yangzhou Building? This Master Liao Jie is the chef of Huaiyang cuisine? As a chef of Huaiyang cuisine, he can win such a status in the territory of Cantonese cuisine. I guess Master Liao must have something special, right?" Shen Long pretended He said he didn’t know Liao Jie’s true identity.
"Mr. Shen, you are wrong. If Master Liao was only proficient in Huaiyang cuisine, he would never be so famous." Su Ziwen said with a smile, "Master Liao is the leader of many families. He is not only good at Huaiyang cuisine, but also very good at Cantonese cuisine." , Shandong cuisine and other cuisines are also quite proficient. The most important thing is that Master Liao once learned how to make a Manchu-Han banquet from a former Qing imperial chef. Nowadays, there are not many people in the country who can make a Manchu-Han banquet, and only Master Liao There are also just a few descendants of the imperial chefs from Zhengxing Garden in Sichuan, Beijing, and Hong Kong and Kowloon."
Sichuan Zhengxing Garden? In the movie, the boss of Manhan Tower, who plays Anita Yuen’s father, doesn’t he claim to be the descendant of Sichuan Zhengxing Garden?
"Moreover, Master Liao defeated all the other famous chefs in the last No. 1 Chef Competition and won the first prize in one fell swoop. This established his status as the No. 1 celebrity chef in Huadu!" Before Shen Long could ask, Su Ziwen said the first thing. The title of a chef competition.
"The first celebrity chef competition?" Shen Long quickly climbed up the pole.
"Well, the First Chef Competition is one of the top cooking competitions in the country. This year is the 19th. I also signed up before, but unfortunately I was eliminated by Master Liao in the quarterfinals. Now Master Liao is probably preparing The final, right? The final will be held tomorrow. If Mr. Shen is interested, you can go there and have a look." Seeing that Shen Long was interested in the competition, Su Ziwen decided to be a good person and do it to the end.
"Of course I have to go see it if I have such an opportunity! Where? When will it start?" This method is indeed the right one, otherwise it would be so easy to ask so much information?
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, Master Liao from the Yangzhou Building will play against Master Long Kunbao from the Luyu Building in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Mr. Shen will tell me the room number and I will arrange for my apprentice to take you in." Su Ziwen was a little regretful. If there were no distinguished guests tomorrow, He also wanted to see it.
"Okay, then I'll try Mr. Su's morning tea tomorrow morning before going." At this point, Shen Long changed the topic, "But now I just want to know about Master Liao's situation. I wonder if Mr. Su can arrange for someone to take me there." Go to Yangzhou Building or Master Liao’s house?”
"No problem, I'll ask my apprentice to take you there. He and Master Liao have also met, but now Master Liao should be preparing for tomorrow's competition. I'm afraid you can only see his colleagues and family." Su Ziwen waved over. A young man in his twenties said, "This is my apprentice, you can call him Bo Zai."
It was a good thing that I couldn't see him. Anyway, the most important thing was Liao Jie's wife Lin Chang. After thanking Su Ziwen, Shen Long asked the hotel for a car and took Bo Zai with him to Yangzhou Tower.
With Bo Zai's introduction, Shen Long arrived at Liao Jie's home smoothly. As Su Ziwen guessed, Liao Jie was preparing for the competition and was not at home. The only one at home was Lin Chang, who was pregnant.
"Mr. Shen, this is Master Liao's lover Lin Chang. If you want to ask Mr. Liao anything, just ask her." Bo Zai introduced the two of them to each other and expressed his intention to come.
Lin Chang invited the two of them into the house. Shen Long glanced at it. Although the room was not big, it was clean. Lin Chang was indeed a good wife.
"There's no good tea at home, don't take it too seriously." Lin Shang poured tea for them both and looked at Shen Long curiously. It was a bit strange that a foreign reporter came to interview her husband.
"Ms. Lin is about to give birth soon, right? Why is there no one at home to take care of her? Isn't this good?" Shen Long asked with concern. Judging from the size of her belly, she was already in labor. It must be because no one at home delayed her. When she had to be sent to the hospital, Lin Shang lived on the third floor and it was inconvenient to go downstairs, which led to the accident. No wonder Lin Shang was so resentful after the miscarriage and left Liao Jie.
"My wife and I are both from other places. We don't have any relatives in Huadu, and we can't trouble our colleagues in the company..." Shen Long could hear that Lin Shang still had some grievances against Liao Jie, but still It didn't reach the point of breaking up.
"No way, it happened to be a competition. I just heard about it in Yangzhou Tower. Everyone in Yangzhou Tower is full of expectations for Master Liao's competition. In this competition, Master Liao represents not only himself, but also everyone in Yangzhou Tower. All colleagues." People of this era place more emphasis on collective honor, so Shen Long wanted to use this statement to help Lin Shang relieve some of his worries.
This is a good idea. After hearing this, Lin Shang's face obviously improved a lot. After asking about Liao Jie's situation, Shen Long stood up and prepared to leave. "Ms. Lin needs to recuperate now, so I won't bother you. I'll wait for Master Liao's competition tomorrow." It’s over, I’ll interview you two again.”
The main purpose of coming today is to get to know my servant and check in. According to the information revealed in the movie, this accident will probably happen tomorrow, so there is no need to worry.
After returning to the car and waiting for the driver to start the car, Shen Long turned around and asked, "Bo Zai, is there a better hospital nearby?"
"Mr. Shen is not feeling well? You can reach Huadu Hospital just around the corner from here. It only takes a few minutes to drive there. Can I take you there?" Bo Zai said with concern.
"Oh no, I ran out of the regular medicine I brought with me. I just wanted to buy some." Shen Long asked the driver to drive to Huadu Hospital, bought some cold medicine and the like, and then returned to the White Swan Hotel.
In the evening, I thoroughly enjoyed Master Su Ziwen's craftsmanship and went to bed early. I didn't forget to set the alarm clock before going to bed. Shen Long got up at six o'clock the next morning, went downstairs to drink morning tea, and started to wake up at seven o'clock. Zai took himself there, using the excuse that he wanted to interview the competition organizer early.
When going out, he specifically asked for yesterday's car and driver. When he turned onto the road, Shen Long used the interview as an excuse again, saying that he wanted to hear Lin Shang's expectations for the game first, and how Bo Zai and the driver had seen how foreign reporters worked. He didn't have any doubts and drove the car directly to the downstairs of Liao's house.
God bless me, I hope I'm not late. Shen Long prayed secretly when he went upstairs. When he got outside the door of Liao's house, Bo Zai knocked on the door. He knocked several times but no one answered.
Not good, Shen Long felt a thump in his heart, and quickly put his ear against the door. This door was an old-fashioned wooden door with average sound insulation, and he could vaguely hear painful groans coming from the room.
"Oops, Ms. Lin seems to be giving birth, we have to rescue her quickly!" After saying this, before Bo Zai could say anything, Shen Long kicked open the wooden door.
