Hu Si knew that Uncle Hu loved to eat, so he specially collected fresh ingredients from all over the country and sent them here for free.
In this era, transportation was inconvenient, distances were long, and freshness preservation measures were not very good. Many living animals died after being transported. Most of the fresh fruits and vegetables were rotten or not fresh. It was not good for Hu Si to have people throw them away.
Leave something fresh to eat.
There are not many live crabs, lobsters and sea bass, but they are full of energy.
Chestnuts, yams, lotus seeds, jujubes, and glutinous rice are all good for health.
Lettuce, lotus root, okra, bitter chrysanthemum, and the common spinach, pumpkin, cabbage, and tofu here.
The most amazing thing is that there are all kinds of meats, beef, mutton, pork, whole live chickens, and live ducks.
Meng Yao looked at the dazzling array of ingredients in the kitchen and swallowed hard.
"Uncle Hu, can you eat so much food?"
"Is there anything delicious? I'm not even willing to eat it!"
Uncle Hu proudly said something different, "Look if there is anything else you need, ask the fourth child to buy it. He is a stupid little bastard who has too much money. He says he can't finish it. If it's broken, throw it away. You
Tell me, this thing can make people mad!"
"Longjing shrimp, garlic crayfish or spicy crayfish, meat crab pot, sweet and sour pork ribs, cold bitter chrysanthemum, dry pot cabbage, stir-fried shredded lettuce, pumpkin and white fungus cup, suitable for the godmother, Wensi tofu, Kung Pao chicken
, Squirrel Mandarin Fish.”
"No soup, do you have rice wine?"
"have!"
It was Liu Yishou who spoke.
Originally, Hu Si had asked him to cook more generously. He was washing the ingredients when Meng Yao came over, so he honestly stepped aside.
"Then let's make another fermented rice dumpling, ready!"
Uncle Hu was not very satisfied. He pointed at the meat and said, "There are mutton, beef, meat, ribs, chicken and duck. I've made everything for the leftovers!"
Meng Yao: "..."
"Uncle Hu, you made so much, have you finished eating?"
Meng Yao couldn't help but tugged on Uncle Hu's beard, causing him some pain, but he still said harshly, "You can eat slowly if you can't finish it, right?"
Meng Yao couldn't help but glare at him, "That's it!"
When Meng Yao was angry, Uncle Hu looked aggrieved and stopped arguing with her, but instead said to those who were interested: "I'll help you do it later!"
"No, please stop interfering. Just let Master Liu help me. Just go wherever you want!"
Uncle Hu's eyes widened, "You unload the mill and kill the donkey. I will bring you here with good intentions. You, you let me go and cool down. I..."
"I, I, I, I said the wrong thing, Uncle Hu, I mean, wherever there is no need for you to be hands-on, you can just sit there and be the supervisor, giving guidance!"
"snort!"
That's pretty much it.
Finally coaxing the old child, Meng Yao didn't dare to waste a moment and started working.
Uncle Hu's kitchen not only has a lot of materials, but also a complete range of seasonings, specially prepared according to Liu Yishou's requirements, which is convenient for Meng Yao at this moment.
Because there was not enough time, Meng Yao did not treat Liu Yishou as a chef, but as an assistant. Fortunately, although Liu Yishou was taciturn, he followed Meng Yao's instructions and worked according to her instructions.
Seeing that there was a lot of food, Hu Si asked a few more stoves to be set up. Qi Boyan didn't know where to find a few people to help.
Not to mention, he didn't talk much, he was very eye-catching, and the people he hired were good at handling him. He just did what he was asked to do without saying a word of unnecessary nonsense.
Uncle Hu pinched his beard, as if he was a supervisor, looking here and there, urging people to work well.
When Meng Yao was about to start cooking, Uncle Hu wandered over and whispered in her ear: "Little girl, I believe you can cook the other dishes, but there are a few state banquets. Don't think that I am an old man."
I don’t know, are you sure you can get started?”
"I can tell you nothing else. As for the Longjing shrimp dish, the chef Lao Si found also made it. It was pretty good, but I'm just not satisfied with it. I've had the taste of something made by a master chef before.
Wow, that’s the real state banquet.”
"Girl, you are so young, I think it's quite embarrassing!"
Uncle Hu pinched his beard and curled his lips, obviously not very optimistic about Meng Yao.
Meng Yao raised his chin in excitement, "Uncle Hu, just watch it!"
Uncle Hu pinched his beard and left with a skeptical attitude.
Not only was Uncle Hu suspicious, Liu Yishou was also suspicious.
While he was busy, he watched Meng Yao cooking from time to time, trying to see if she had the skills to cook a state banquet.
He had studied with his master for so long, but he was only qualified for a state banquet, or in other words, he did not meet the standards of a state banquet at all. It was just because his master passed away and no one taught him anymore, so he could only explore on his own.
Many people praised the delicious food he cooked, and even defeated his senior brother with it and won the private restaurant left by the master.
He once thought he was talented, but when he came to this small place, he suffered a lot of blows, not only from Uncle Hu, but also from Meng Yao.
He had not only tasted the Mapo Tofu cooked by Meng Yao, but also tasted the food on the table. The food was almost reimbursed by Uncle Hu. He only tasted a little bit of leftovers, but this alone was enough for him to taste.
, Meng Yao’s craftsmanship is better than him, much better than him.
So he had no objections to Meng Yao taking over as chef.
Sun Shuqi went to prepare other things needed for acknowledgment, but Hu Da suddenly had something to do and left temporarily, leaving Hu Si and Qi Boyan behind.
Qi Boyan stood guard at the door of Uncle Hu's courtyard, watching Meng Yao busy and looking at her serious cooking. He became more and more fascinated as he watched, with a smile in his eyes.
Hu Si is a scientific researcher who is only obsessed with research. If it weren't for Uncle Hu's love for food, he wouldn't have spent so much time creating so many things.
So on the other hand, he is much more interested in Qi Boyan than Meng Yao.
He is very interested in Qi Boyan, but he cannot study the things he has studied, so he is very interested in him.
When he was in the research institute, he approached Qi Boyan because he wanted to communicate with him. However, Chen Yantao, whose eyes were unknown, thought he was going to be detrimental to Qi Boyan and kept blocking him from approaching him.
If someone doesn't like him, just kick him away. This has always been Hu Si's principle. He kicked him several times but was stopped by Qi Boyan.
This time, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to destroy Chen Yantao first, and then kick him out of the research institute.
I didn't expect that he would be related to his old man.
Hu Si stared at Qi Boyan for a long time, thought for a while, and said to Qi Boyan expressionlessly: "That director Chen Yantao, I can't move anymore."
Qi Boyan was watching Meng Yao cooking seriously. When he heard this sentence, he glanced at Hu Si and quickly moved away.
Hu Si didn't think about Qi Boyan's response, and continued to say expressionlessly: "I originally came here this time to kill him, and then kicked him out of the institute, because his reputation as the director is unjust.
Shun, now for the sake of... you and your wife, spare his life."
Qi Boyan made a soft sound, his expression even colder than his, "Then you should also be happy, you didn't do anything, if you cripple him, I will cripple you!"
