Food starts with noodles

But today, this restaurant has been around for some years, some of the exterior decorations have fallen off, and it looks like an old era.

The two went in hand in hand, just in time to meet Chen Guifang coming downstairs: "Oh, you two are here, the old lady is anxiously urging me to come down to pick you up, hurry up, dinner will be served soon."

After speaking, she took Yu Keke's hand and went straight to the stairs, leaving Xu Zhuo behind.

Everyone's son forgets his mother when he marries his wife, but Chen Guifang forgets his son when he has a daughter-in-law.

Xu Zhuo was not in a hurry to go upstairs, anyway, with Chen Guifang around, he would definitely not embarrass Yu Keke.

Besides, if he wants to follow, the old lady will definitely rush to Yangzhou to finalize the marriage.

Boss Xu strolled to the kitchen to see if he could watch the old man cook.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the door, I happened to meet Xu Wenhai coming out of the kitchen with a tightly covered amphora, and seeing Xu Zhuo immediately stuffed it into his arms: "Go, take it upstairs, this is you The fairy duck made by grandpa."

Well, these two couples are really superb.

One treats his son as air, and the other treats his son as a waiter.

Even without a paternity test, Boss Xu knew that he was definitely his own.

But Boss Xu couldn't care less about getting angry at the moment, because the fairy duck he was holding in his hand was really precious, and the old man only made it during the Chinese New Year.

Counting it down, it has been two years since I ate the fairy duck made by the old man.

There are many dishes called fairy ducks all over the country. There is also a fairy duck in Sichuan cuisine.

Boss Xu had tasted these dishes more than once when he was traveling, but he felt that the fairy duck cooked by the old man was the most worthy of the name of fairy.

The method of this dish is very particular. You have to choose ducklings that have not yet laid eggs. After slaughtering and cleaning, the whole duck is deboned. After blanching, it is served with ingredients such as ham slices and steamed in a pot.

Steam continuously for more than three hours, and add salt to taste when it comes out of the pan.

The meat of the cooked duck is crispy, rich in aroma and delicious in taste. Xu Zhuo couldn't help drooling just thinking about it.

However, it is easy to overturn if you are inexperienced in making this dish.

Because the duck meat has a strong fishy smell, if it is not handled well, it will be full of fishy smell when steamed, and the duck is relatively fat.

Xu Zhuo remembered very clearly that when he was in elementary school, Xu Wenhai tried to make fairy duck at home, but he steamed it for several hours, and the whole room was filled with the fishy smell of duck.

The young Boss Xu didn't know this, and thought that his father was cooking shit in the kitchen, so he was so frightened that he hurried to complain to the old lady who was playing mahjong downstairs.

Then, the whole community knew about it.

When the neighbors saw Xu Wenhai, they teased him about it.

Looking back now, maybe it was from that incident that there was an irreparable rift between the father and son.

Holding the fairy duck in both hands, Xu Zhuo came upstairs. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the old lady holding Yu Keke's hand, seemingly talking about the capital.

"At that time we lived in the same courtyard house with your grandparents, and our relationship couldn't be better. Now that you and Xiaozhuo are walking together, I wonder if the two of us can pool together to buy another courtyard house for you. You two are the wedding room, and the two big families live together, how lively it is."

Xu Zhuo almost threw the duck in his hand.

Buy a courtyard house?

The old lady is really a blockbuster if she doesn't sing.

The existing courtyard houses in Beijing seem to start with eight figures, right?

The slightly better ones are even hundreds of millions, and there is no market for them.

Given the current situation of Xu's family, buying a courtyard house is really a bit whimsical.

He put the jar of fairy ducks on the table, and gave the old lady a helpless look: "Grandma, do you know how much the courtyard house costs? They are all pushing to buy it now. This is not like buying leeks in the vegetable market. You can buy them if you give them money."

The old lady took out her mobile phone and shook it in front of Xu Zhuo: "Why don't I know? A courtyard house that can accommodate two families is worth hundreds of millions. I look at second-hand houses in the capital every day..."

Almost hundreds of millions?

The old lady's tone is really...

Boss Xu didn't know what to say anymore. No wonder the old lady made decisions about everything before. This kind of tolerance can really support this family.

He seriously doubts that the old man likes to pretend so much because he is deeply influenced by the old lady.

However, the old lady is from the capital, and she is used to seeing the rise and fall of the dynasty, so she naturally has the attitude of not being surprised when Mount Tai collapses before her.

Xu Zhuo took the old lady's mobile phone and looked at it. It turned out to be a famous second-hand housing app, and the page was full of information about courtyard houses in the third ring road of the capital.

The courtyard house currently on the page is located in Dongcheng District, with a construction area of ​​more than 800 square meters. It is a courtyard house with two entrances, nine bedrooms, three halls and four bathrooms. The environment is elegant, and Boss Xu fell in love with it at a glance.

But look at the price again, 14000 million.

Sorry to interrupt!

He reached out and returned the phone to the old lady.

It is better to leave the dreaming to the old people, and it is better for the young people to be more practical.

If they really become a family in the future, if the Yu family sells the first floor and the Xu family sells the Xu family restaurant, maybe it is really possible to buy a courtyard house.

But what about after you buy it?

Are the two big families staring at each other in the courtyard in the capital?

Isn't this typical killing the chicken and picking the egg?

Xu Zhuo felt that the old lady was a little naive.

As a result, when he was complaining in his heart, the system suddenly sounded a notification.

"Ding! There is a new main mission, please click on the mission panel for details."

Boss Xu felt a "thud" in his heart, he had a bad premonition...

Chapter 306 Boss Xu's ten-year goal

Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhuo entered the system and clicked on the task details.

Main task: Grandma's wish.

Task details: Grandma has always missed the time when she lived in a courtyard in the capital, so the host is asked to work hard to make money and buy a courtyard for grandma to live in.

Mission rewards and punishments: If the mission is successful, the host's reputation in the capital will increase significantly, and he will be able to get three B-level signature dishes; if the mission fails, grandma will leave with regret.

Task time limit: within ten years.

Task Tip: Work hard to earn money.

After reading it, Xu Zhuo was a little silent.

This task must be done, and must be successful.

Xu Zhuo didn't care about the rewards at all, what he cared about was that grandma would leave with regret.

From all over the Xu family, the old lady is the one who treats Xu Zhuo best. She never asks for anything from Xu Zhuo. As long as Boss Xu is happy, the old lady is very satisfied.

To some extent, the reason why Boss Xu became addicted to games when he was in college is also related to the doting of the old lady.

In the Xu family, the old man usually had the final say, but in front of the old lady, the old man was very cowardly, and he didn't have the slightest aura to force the king.

Every time the old lady gave Xu Zhuo no less than five figures in pocket money, whenever the family wanted to criticize Boss Xu, the old lady would hug her cat and start losing her temper.

As soon as she showed off her power, the old man who was arguing about getting a filial son under the stick, got into the kitchen so cowardly that he never brought up the topic of beating Xu Zhuo.

Ever since he was a child, if the old lady hadn't protected him, Xu Zhuo would have been beaten countless times.

So seeing this task now, Xu Zhuo has no choice at all.

"Grandma, give me some time, I will definitely buy you a courtyard house for you to live in."

He spoke decisively, with firmness in his words.

These words made the old lady very happy: "My darling grandson has really grown up, and what I said made me happy. Come here, my darling grandson has lost weight."

Then, the old lady began to tell Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke interesting stories about living in the capital.

As Xu Zhuo listened, he worried about how to earn the billions.

Moreover, a decent courtyard house now costs more than [-] million yuan, but it may not be so in a few years.

Inflation and housing prices have risen year after year, and it may cost hundreds of millions in the future.

The dog system really thinks highly of itself, earning a small goal within ten years, when the current currency is Vietnamese Dong?

Xu Zhuo felt that this was an impossible task.

But no matter how difficult it is to complete, it must be done. After all, this is grandma's wish, and her old man must be satisfied.

Moreover, Boss Xu has already made up his mind that after ten years, if he really hasn't saved enough money, even the down payment for the courtyard house, he will sell Xu's Restaurant and Sifang Restaurant.

Let the old lady move into the courtyard house, even if she sells the courtyard house after sending the old lady away.

Tasks are dead, people are alive.

Boss Xu is not a rigid person, if there is a flexible method, he will never give up.

But at this stage, I still focus on making money, and try to make as much money as possible.

Although it is wishful thinking to rely on a restaurant to earn a small goal, but it can't be broken.

He had to earn as much money as possible, and with the more skills he mastered, plus the compensation for the demolition of the noodle restaurant, he might be able to move the Sifang restaurant to the provincial capital.

Although the competition in the provincial capital is fierce, the prospect is also very bright.

The more competitive the place is, the less you will worry about the source of customers. As long as the dishes taste good, many people will come to give money.

"Xiao Zhuo, what are you thinking? Go wash your hands and prepare to eat."

When Xu Zhuo came back to his senses, he realized that the whole family had arrived at some point. Everyone was looking at him at the moment, which made Boss Xu a little embarrassed.

He went to the bathroom to wash his face, and sat next to Yu Keke when he came back.

Today's dish is hard enough.

Furong Chicken Slices, Jiuzhuan Large Intestine, Sansi Shark's Fin, White Grilled Four Treasures, Shili Ginkgo, Guotiao Yellow Fish, Chicken Soup Tofu, Oil Splashed Beancurd, Sai Crab, and the Immortal Duck that Xu Zhuo just brought over.

Xu Zhuo took a look. Compared with the dishes prepared by his godfather last time, today's preparations should be in a hurry, so those dishes that took a lot of effort, such as Yipinguo, were not cooked.

But these dishes are not inferior to the last table, every dish is Xu Zhuo's longing for.

"Girl, come and taste Grandpa's dishes. When I was in Rongcheng last time, I saw that you like to eat fried bean sprouts, so I made a special one for you. No one will grab you today. You can eat as much as you want. "

The old man really knows how to say that the dishes on the table seem to be worthless.

No matter how delicious it is, it's just mung bean sprouts, which can't be compared with Jiuzhuan Dachang Sansi Shark's Fin.

You Keke tasted it with chopsticks, gave the old man a thumbs up and said, "It's delicious, much better than my grandpa's."

When the old man heard this, he immediately beamed with joy: "Wen Hai, go get some wine, the granddaughter-in-law is here today, she needs to drink something."

Not only is the old man happy, but the old lady is also very satisfied with Coco now, because when the little girl eats, she will first pick some for the old lady, and wait for the old lady to eat before she moves her chopsticks.

What a little wit.

Xu Zhuo didn't care about these things at all at the moment. He stood up, held his dinner plate in one hand, picked up chopsticks in the other, aimed at the fairy duck in the middle and tore off half of it.

Then he sat down and ate the soft and delicious duck meat contentedly, without noticing that Chen Guifang was constantly winking at him.

"Auntie, what happened to your eyes?"

The little girl looked at Chen Guifang winking and thought something was wrong.

Chen Guifang glared at her son in resentment, patronizing herself to eat, and didn't know how to pick it up for her girlfriend, what a fool.

But she didn't dare to say that in front of Yu Keke, she smiled and said: "It's okay, I can't bear to think that Xiao Zhuo was brought up with shit and pee, and now I have found such a good girlfriend like you." I can't stop crying."

After finishing speaking, she really pretended to wipe away her tears.

Tsk tsk, with such acting skills, not becoming an actor is really a loss for the literary and art circles.

After eating the meal, Boss Xu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

In the first half, he was eating desperately, scrambling to eat every dish, and in the second half, he was slumped on a chair, rubbing his stomach constantly, obviously eating too much.

The old man drank some wine, and unexpectedly recalled those days when he lived with Yu Peiyong, and kept saying that Yu Peiyong's cooking skills were not as good as him.

Even Yu Peiyong's best recipe of sweet and sour sauce in squirrel mandarin fish was taught by the old man.

When he was boasting vigorously, Boss Xu couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, I'll invite Grandpa Yu over later, and you two will have a cooking competition face to face, what do you think?"
