Food starts with noodles

However, after his wife passed away a few years ago, Shao Junru moved to a villa in the western suburbs of the capital.

Well, Shao Junru's son started his career in the steel industry. Thanks to Shao Junru's connections and connections, and his own business acumen, he quickly gained a foothold in the steel industry, and then set foot in the real estate industry. He is worth a few hundred at least [-] million.

It is normal for a person of this kind of wealth to live in a villa in the capital and take a Bentley when he goes out.

After listening to Shao Junru's story (showing off his wealth), Xu Zhuo has a new understanding of this old man, and at the same time has a deeper understanding of his own poverty.

Can't afford it, really can't afford it.

Even if people didn't ask for the reserve price, he knew that he couldn't afford such a good courtyard house.

But it's good to know Shao Junru, at least there is one more awesome old man in my circle, and he is the most awesome existence.

The status of the old man forcing the king is a little worrying.

When he was thinking wildly, Shao Junru looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "Young man, what do you think of this yard? Is it okay?"

I can definitely see it, needless to say, but I can't afford it...Xu Zhuo murmured in his heart.

He liked this courtyard house very much, even when he was just wandering around, he began to plan the renovation of the entire courtyard house in his heart.

For example, plant two ginkgo trees in the yard, or plant a wisteria that the old lady likes in the backyard, etc.

In addition, after having this yard, you can also take the bear cub over. It can climb trees and play leisurely in the yard, instead of always being wronged in the small house in the building.

Moreover, there are many houses in this quadrangle, so there is plenty for everyone from the Yu family and the Xu family to live in.

In the future, the two families can all move to the capital to live, instead of living in two separate places like now. If you want to listen to Chen Guifang's nagging, you have to make a video call.

While watching, he thought a lot.

But the richer the imagination, the stronger the sense of loss.

Because I can't afford it, the more I think about it, the more frustrated I become.

So after Shao Junru asked, Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "Grandpa Shao, I really like your courtyard house, but my ability is limited and I can't afford such a good house.

However, I still want to thank you for taking me around here in your busy schedule, allowing me to see the charm of the Beijing courtyard.

If you are not busy at noon, I would like to treat you to a light meal. "

Shao Junru looked at Xu Zhuo, and laughed: "You young man, you just refuse without asking the price, you lack vigor.

As a young man, it's not good to always look forward and backward, isn't it just a price?Ask about another piece of meat, maybe there will be surprises, don’t you think? "

When Xu Zhuo heard it, could it be that the so-called difficulty of the system was reduced by half?

He asked curiously, "Grandpa Shao, can you tell me the price?"

Although Xu Zhuo felt that it was impossible, he still wanted to try it.

What if?

If it is really the so-called reward of reducing the difficulty by half, maybe the matter of buying a courtyard house will be reversed.

As a result, Shao Junru made a fist and slowly raised his thumb and little finger, making a six.

"One price, [-] million, what do you think?"

Xu Zhuo: "..."

The price is not bad. Apart from being unaffordable, there is nothing wrong with it.

He smiled wryly, and just about to refuse, Shao Junru said, "But if you can fulfill one of my conditions, I can sell it to you at half price."

half price?

Under what conditions can you cut off [-] million at once.

Xu Zhuo was just about to refuse, but then he thought about it, buying a courtyard house at half the price is equivalent to reducing the difficulty by half.

Is this the reward of the system?

Thinking of this, he asked without hesitation: "Grandpa Shao, what condition do you say? I want to... give it a try."

Chapter 1543 Shao Junru's Condition

Since he had the opportunity to buy a courtyard house at half the price, Xu Zhuo would naturally not miss it.

What's more, this is an invisible reward for opening a store in the capital. If you refuse, you will be really sorry for the good intentions of the dog system.

Even if he took a step back and Shao Junru put forward conditions that were difficult for him to meet, Xu Zhuo felt that it was nothing, and he didn't violate the rules, so he just didn't buy it.

Shao Junru admired the small courtyard that he hadn't seen for several years, as if caught in some kind of memory.

After a long time, he sighed softly and stated his condition.

"When we returned to China, the leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy invited us to dinner in this courtyard. The chef who cooked the meal was specially invited from the Foreign Affairs Guest House and cooked a large table full of dishes.

I can't remember the specific dishes, but there is only one dish that I still remember, fresh in my memory, even hard to forget. "

Xu Zhuo knew that the topic was coming.

I should answer the call now.

Like a crosstalk talker, he followed Shao Junru's words and asked, "What kind of dish is that?"

Shao Junru did not answer, but said to himself: "After eating that meal, this courtyard house was given to me, and I have been working hard for machinery, metallurgy, and the strength of the motherland all my life.

I have met many people and eaten many meals in my life. Because my son has two bad money, the family also hires famous chefs.

But I never had that dish again.

I have eaten many dishes with the same name, but the taste and taste are far from each other.

Young man, can you make this dish for me? "

Xu Zhuo: "..."

You said the name of the dish!

But with [-] million funds involved, Xu Zhuo's patience is surprisingly good.

He asked again: "What kind of dish is that?"

Shao Junru sighed softly: "Gan paste soup, Sichuan cuisine liver paste soup."

Liver Paste Soup?

This……

Although this is a dish that is on the verge of being lost, it is not so magical, right?

It's not that Xu Zhuo looked down on this dish, the main reason was that he had just acquired the skill of chickpea curd, and he had successfully introduced new ones in the store, so many people came to the store to try it every day.

The liver paste soup, which is about the same level as chickpea curd, is more complicated to make, but generally speaking, it is also a clear chicken soup type of dish.

These two dishes, together with boiled cabbage, are called "Three Gorges of Soup and Vegetables" in Sichuan cuisine.

Although these three dishes all use clear soup, they each have their own characteristics.

For example, the freshest dish is boiled cabbage, the most delicate taste is liver paste soup, and chickpea curd is the one with the highest appearance and the best comprehensive evaluation.

Xu Zhuo can make chickpea curds by himself now, and he used to eat boiled cabbage made by Wei Junming.

Among the three beautiful soups, only liver paste soup is the most unfamiliar.

But this strangeness is also relative. When Xu Zhuo was still in college a few years ago, a certain Spring Festival old man was bored and made this liver paste soup together with Xu Wenhai.

At that time, for the soup, the old man bought some sky-high bamboo fungus.

The taste is indeed very good, but it is an exaggeration to say that it will be unforgettable for many years.

Anyway, in Xu Zhuo's opinion, the liver paste soup is similar to boiled cabbage and chickpea flower, and it's not that much more memorable.

Shao Junru has remembered this taste for decades, and he has never been able to find liver paste soup with the same taste, which is very elusive.

Xu Zhuo really wanted to ask him if it was because he was a little dizzy when he returned to China, and he didn't eat anything decent for a few days, so when he saw delicious food suddenly, he had the effect of "eating bran as sweet as honey when hungry".

It's not how delicious the liver paste soup is, it's mainly eaten when hungry, so I'm impressed.

In addition, he was accompanied by the leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy, and he was also a chef for the state banquet, and he also presented a set of courtyard houses within the second ring road as a gift. All these surprises will be subjectively and unconsciously added to the liver paste soup.

Impressed, and no surprise.

But Xu Zhuo could only mutter a few words in his heart.

After all, as a high-level intellectual, and his family has no shortage of money and no worries about food and drink, Shao Junru can't figure out the reason behind this.

If Xu Zhuo used this to fool Shao Junru, then he really didn't want this courtyard house.

Whether it can be done or not, let's do it first.

You can't say that others are wrong before you start doing it.

It was about [-] million funds, Xu Zhuo felt that Shao Junru was right no matter what, and there was no way he could be wrong.

Putting his mind away, Xu Zhuo began to inquire about the magic of that bowl of liver paste soup back then: "Grandpa Shao, can you tell me about the liver paste soup you ate back then?

What ingredients are there in it, did you put bamboo fungus?How is the texture and taste? Is the broth boiled here, or brought by the chef?

Also, do you remember the chef's name? "

Xu Zhuo asked in detail. He wanted to restore the specific content of the bowl of soup at that time to the greatest extent, and then deduce the ingredients and method based on these.

Of course, Xu Zhuo didn't know if it would work or not, so he could only ask more questions.

After going back, talk to the old man and Yu Peiyong about it.

Shao Junru thought for a while and said: "It's just a very ordinary bowl of liver paste soup. There is nothing else in the bowl except clear soup and liver paste, but the taste is extremely delicious, and the taste of liver paste is also extremely delicate.

The person who made the liver paste soup was an old master who passed away within a few years.

I once looked for his descendants, but they no longer set foot in this business, and their craftsmanship has been lost. "

Tsk, this really doesn't give any hints.

Since he couldn't find out about it, Xu Zhuo gave up.

He felt that after the cooldown of the skills he had studied so hard, he could learn the skill of liver paste soup, and then use the rewards for upgrading dishes to level A, and he could still make delicious liver paste soup.

But I just don't know if I can meet Shao Junru's request.

Xu Zhuo thinks he can try it, and even if it doesn’t work, he can improve on the A-level liver paste soup by then, which is much better than his current fantasy.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo said to Shao Junru, "I can try it. I don't guarantee that I can make the taste you want, but it's definitely not bad."

These words made Shao Junru immediately interested: "The young man is very confident, that's fine, then I will wait. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as you are ready, you can find me.

But once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, this courtyard house will enter the auction process, and there is no way to give it to you. "

Moon Festival……

There are still about five months before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Xu Zhuo thinks it's not a big problem.

If you can't make a bowl of liver paste soup in five months, then you are really in vain.

Although it is unbelievable to study a dish for such a long time, but considering the problem from another angle, it immediately motivates people.

For example, earn [-] million in five months.

Thinking about it this way, isn't it exciting?

Xu Zhuo felt it was time to give it a go.

Lu Xun once said: give it a go, a bicycle can become a motorcycle.

In order to let the elderly in the family live in a courtyard house, in order to save [-] million cash, I worked hard!

Chapter 1544 Prepare to make sauced elbow

After walking around the courtyard, Xu Zhuo and Ji Mingyu got into Shao Junru's Bentley, and took everyone to Sifang Restaurant for dinner.

This is Xu Zhuo's first time riding in a Bentley. The interior looks really good, and the car is quite spacious.

Much stronger than his GLC.
