Soon, the dishes were served one after another. This time, He Yuzhu showed off all his skills. He Yuzhu has not done so much in the past few years!
Everyone sat down one after another, and the children were already crazy with greed. In front of He Yuzhu's cooking skills, no matter how picky the child is, he has no right to say "not delicious".
The feast has begun!
First of all, the main focus is Sichuan cuisine. As He Yuzhu's specialty, He Yuzhu's Sichuan cuisine is actually better than the Tan family cuisine passed down from generation to generation. One is because the ingredients are simple, and the other is that he has made it so many times.
Hot Mapo Tofu, with a basin of red oil on the side, made a group of people's eyes twitch when they saw it, and then piles of various vegetables and meat were placed there.
"Is this Bobo Chicken?"
Lou Xiao'e said in surprise, she didn't expect to be able to eat this in Sijiu City!
"Yes, children love to eat it. They take as much as they can and eat it directly dipped in red oil!"
Lin Fan said with a smile, then he took a large handful, put it directly into the red oil, rolled it several times, then put it aside and tied it with a rubber band.
This shows that this bundle belongs to him.
"I see, it's Silly Zhu who is lazy!"
Lou Xiao'e never missed any opportunity to quarrel with Lin Fan.
"Hey, if I want to be lazy, I will just give you some cabbage and potatoes so that you can recall the meals you had when you lived in this compound!"
"Then I wish I had gained weight after eating and drinking all these years. It's time to eat something simple to remember the bitterness and sweetness!"
Lin Fan waved his hand and said to Lin Xiaomu: "Don't pay attention to them, these two are so talkative!"
Lin Xiaomu smiled and patted Lin Fan.
Lin Xiaomu ate chicken feet with pickled peppers, which she loved to eat. At home, she had a big vat of chicken feet soaked in them, and the taste was very good. The children often ran to grab a few to eat, and the whole family was not afraid of spicy food.
Also, He Yuzhu, a master of Sichuan cuisine, has a hard time avoiding spicy food.
When He Yuzhu is cooking, he will sprinkle a handful of chili peppers on you from time to time.
Next, all kinds of top-notch Tan family dishes are served one after another.
"This time is different from last time. This time, thanks to sister Xiao'e, Xiangjiang brought back a lot of shipments. Brother Zhuzhu has been making these things since the morning. Today, everyone has tasted the authentic food.
The Tan family’s food is here. Before this, it was what the emperor ate!”
Everyone was extremely happy, especially a group of children. One person carefully held a cup of abalone and ate it happily.
There is no trace of behavior, and the soaked abalone is simply delicious.
"tasty!"
Lou Xiao'e gave a thumbs up, it tastes really delicious.
"Xiaofan!"
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"Go and call Xu Damao's family, there is no shortage of his two pairs of chopsticks!"
"Sister Lou is awesome!"
Lin Fan didn't say much, but ran to the side. When he saw Qin Jingru cooking, he went up and took the pot and left!
"Hey, hey, I'm cooking!"
"What are you cooking for? This big party needs some chopsticks for you two, right? Hurry up, Xu Damao, Sister Lou calls your family over for dinner!"
Lin Fan took the pot and sent it to He Yuzhu, who looked at the contents in the pot with disgust.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"What I cook is so unappreciable to a chef like you!"
Qin Jingru caught up with her, but the pot was still in Lin Fan's hand!
"I'll pay you back later, look at how stingy you are!"
"Who is being stingy? I didn't come here just for the pot!"
Qin Jingru hurriedly said, Lin Fan made his family rich, just a pot is nothing!
"I get it, you're here to hear gossip!"
"What do you mean?"
Qin Jingru didn't understand the meaning of Bagua, but He Yuzhu knew: "That is to say, you are here to inquire about Lou Xiao'e!"
"Hey, Lin Fan still understands me!"
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Let Brother Zhuzi tell you, he's talkative anyway!"
"Why do you mean I'm arrogant!"
He Yuzhu protested, but looking at the eager Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu beside him, he suddenly spoke.
"If you want to talk about Lou Xiao'e..."
Balabala, you can't stop talking once you open your mouth.
As soon as Lin Fan went out, he saw Xu Damao still standing outside the door!
"Let's go!"
He dragged Xu Damao and went directly into the house. As soon as Xu Damao entered the house, a group of people started complaining.
"Xu Damao, why are you here? Hurry up and sit here. You will be fined three drinks for being late!"
"That's right, sit down quickly and let's have three drinks first!"
"No, this is my first cup, and I have to honor Lou Xiao'e. It's my sister Xiao'e who asked Xu Damao to come!"
A group of people opened their mouths one after another, especially the guys from the second uncle's and third uncle's families. Everyone in this group of people had a dark heart.
"Okay, everyone can eat what they have, Damao, come and sit here!"
The first man greeted Xu Damao and pulled him directly to the main table. Xu Damao hesitated, and Lou Xiao'e glared at him: "Why do you still want me to treat you?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Xu Damao quickly sat over, Lin Fan sat next to Lin Xiaomu, and next to him was Lou Xiao'e. Xu Damao sat next to Lin Fan.
"I'm telling you, you have to have three drinks of this wine first, one for Sister Lou, one for Aunt Tan, and one for us. If you're late, you can't be punished with three drinks!"
"right!"
Everyone was making noises, Xu Damao didn't hesitate, he picked up a big cup and started to pour wine, but Lin Fan stopped him!
"Good guy, you are toasting with this cup. Are you crazy? This wine is 20 years old and I am only willing to drink it for three cents a cup. You can't afford two cents!"
Lin Fan looked shocked. Are these people drinking to death?
Take a big three-liang cup and fill it with wine.
"You are so willing to risk yourself, but I won't let you go!"
Everyone laughed, even Lou Xiaoe and Aunt Tan laughed.
Lin Fan poured Xu Damao a drink, which cost three yuan. It was not that he was reluctant to part with it, but Lin Fan was afraid that Xu Damao would get drunk and say something messy, which would cause trouble.
"Xiao'e, I'd like to toast you with this drink!"
Lou Xiao'e watched Xu Damao take a clean sip, then the second cup for Aunt Tan, and the third cup for everyone, and nodded: "Okay, sit down and eat quickly!"
To be honest, the relationship between the two of them is gone, but after all, it is her former husband. Lou Xiao'e doesn't feel bad, but she feels a little bit regretful.
Xu Damao drank three drinks in a row, which was basically about one or two!
This is Moutai!
Lin Fan sat down and started to eat. The table became lively. Xu Damao was also a thick-skinned person. Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, he immediately felt relieved. After a while, the person who stirred up the atmosphere began to change.
He became Xu Damao.
I have to admit, this person’s wine table culture is really amazing.
"Hey, why don't I have this abalone?"
"Then I have nothing to do with it. Your wife is helping in the kitchen and she probably eats two!"
Qin Jingru still hasn't come over. I'm so sorry. After all, Lou Xiao'e is here!
Of course, Lin Fan suspected that the reason Qin Jingru didn't come was because she was addicted to listening to the gossip there!
New dishes were brought out quickly.
"Such a big grouper!"
Lou Xiao'e was shocked. Such a big grouper was not common even in Xiangjiang.
"That's specially prepared for you. Most people don't have this taste!"
Next, all kinds of top-notch Tanjia cuisine are served one after another, and everyone eats it, which is called a comfort. Tanjia cuisine is expensive in nature. It is abalone, lobster, and shark fin. Most people really can't eat it.
rise!
He Yuzhu finally got into the act, and started eating with big mouthfuls. Lin Fan looked at the time, and then suddenly raised his cup: "Everyone, everyone, listen to me!"
Everyone looked at Lin Fan, and Lin Fan said: "Today is a good day. The Lou Xiao'e family is back. We have gathered all the people in this compound."
At this time, Lou Xiao'e stood up and asked He Yuzhu: "That's it. When I come back this time, I also plan to make some investments. This is allowed by the state, so don't worry!"
"As for me, I actually have an idea. You said that I am a woman who has been away from home for so long and doesn't know what to invest in, but I still want to do something after all. So I set my sights on He Yuzhu!"
"its me?"
He Yuzhu pointed at his nose, with a look of disbelief on his face, then threw peanuts into his mouth and said: "You should ask Lin Fan about this matter, it is much better than asking me!"
"I know Xiaofan is great, but I have to ask you for this matter. When I was in Xiangjiang, I asked Xiaofan, and he said, you still can't let go of the job of chef, right?"
"You plan to open a restaurant and let me go there?"
He Yuzhu is a smart man and he understood it immediately!
"Yes, I plan to open a restaurant. Xiaofan and I will contribute the money. This is what we have discussed. And you, as the chef, will become a shareholder with your skills!"
"Wait a minute, what is technology investment?"
Not everyone understands it. Not many people understand the joint-stock system these days!
"You join the team with your craftsmanship. Sister Xiao'e and I are responsible for paying for the land, building the restaurant, decorating it inside and out, and serving as waiters. As for you, you can safely control the kitchen and purchasing.
That’s it!”
Lin Fan didn't trust anyone when it came to purchasing, but He Yuzhu could indeed be trusted.
Don't forget that He Yuzhu often ordered something from the kitchen, but this was a habit. He couldn't help it. He Yuzhu entered the industry as a cook at the age of eighteen. The salary was not high at that time. He had to feed several people, and the food at home was tight.
How can I feed a family with just a few things?
Moreover, many of the ingredients were fresh, and there were no refrigerators back then. Once you made something, you had to eat it. Moreover, He Yuzhu never ignored the uncooked food and always made the leftovers and took them back. This was considered economical.
However, the things He Yuzhu makes are absolutely fresh, without the use of waste oil, fruits and vegetables that have been treated with pesticides.
This aspect is well controlled.
"Hey, why didn't you tell me?"
"Didn't I not expect this? Sister Xiao'e said it now, and I realized that you also like to be a cook. It's not shameful to be a cook. You are the executive chef. I plan to open a big restaurant. Usually it's Sichuan.
You ask MCA to cook Shandong and Cantonese cuisine, and then set up a private room on the top floor, and we sell private dishes, which is your specialty, Tan's cuisine!"
He Yuzhu was a little confused. He really liked the chef industry and had been doing it for so many years. No one would be willing to give up if he really wanted to!
"But it won't work without you. We'll hire a head chef ourselves..."
"What do you mean you can do it without me? Can you do this without me? Is it okay for the chefs you hired from outside to be able to do this without me?"
He Yuzhu became "angry" on the spot. To be precise, he was "anxious".
"Hahahaha, let me tell you, use this thing to stimulate him, I'm sure it will work!"
"Hey!"
He Yuzhu grabbed a peanut and threw it towards Lin Fan. Lin Fan opened his mouth and accurately caught and ate it!
"good!"
Everyone applauded, especially a group of children, who looked like monkeys.
Lin Fan became serious: "Then the matter is settled. When the restaurant is established, it can accommodate a hundred tables!"
"Hey, how big of a restaurant do you want to build?"
"How big it is, it doesn't depend on how much money Boss Lou invests!"
Lin Fan joked, Lou Xiao'e didn't give Lin Fan a blank look and said: "How much money I invest, you also have to invest. I can tell you, on this trip home, I took the Hong Kong dollars and contributed to the country."
With the little foreign exchange, I have to open this restaurant, otherwise my wife and I will have no jobs and we will have to drink the northwest wind in a few days!"
"That's not possible. You two will never be hungry. Come directly to the courtyard at meal time. There will always be someone to cook!"
"yes!"
"Just come to your door and ask for two pairs of chopsticks!"
"That's right..."
Everyone spoke one after another, and the matter was settled.
Life was comfortable, everyone was happy, had enough to eat and drink, and everything was settled.
