"Nonsense!" Master Zhou got angry when he heard Zhou Tong come back and said that for his mother's birthday this time, he wanted to invite a chef from a restaurant that he had never heard of before opening.

"Zhou Tong, don't think that just because you have done a good job in setting up the Kang at home this time, you can stick your tail in the sky!"

"You have to know that not only the governor, but also people from major aristocratic families will come to congratulate you. So who are the people sitting in the main hall? Many of them are the ones your father wants to accompany with a smile. They can do whatever they want. Just make some food for others?"

As he raised his hand to fight, Zhou Tong was so frightened that he quickly ran away.

"Okay, okay." Zhou Tong's mother advised from the side: "Don't Tong'er want to help you share your worries?"

"Is this what he calls sharing worries? What he calls causing trouble!" Mr. Zhou pointed at Zhou's mother: "A loving mother often loses her son, so you should just tolerate him!"

"What does it mean that a loving mother often loses her children?" Mother Zhou rolled her eyes and looked at him: "Isn't the old lady a loving mother? Why didn't I see you being defeated? Huh?"

Mr. Zhou winced when his mother yelled at him: "I came back late from the farm today and haven't eaten yet. Ask the people below to get me some food."

"Humph!" Mother Zhou snorted coldly and walked out.

Mr. Zhou said loudly from behind: "There was some wind on the road, so I asked them to make it spicy. I ate it to get rid of the cold."

Then he shook his head and sat on the stool. His son stopped doing business all day and followed the son of the Zheng family, but he didn't learn anything from him.

It really gave him a headache.

After a while, Mother Zhou asked people to bring all the dishes.

Mr. Zhou glanced curiously: "Is this made by the chef at home?"

Mother Zhou rolled her eyes at him: "Do you want to eat? If not, I'll ask someone to take it away!"

"Eat, eat, eat! Why don't you eat?" Mr. Zhou touched his stomach: "I'm so hungry that my chest is touching my back."

Then he picked up his chopsticks, pointed at a fish head and said, "Why is it just a fish head? There are so many red and cyan things sprinkled on it?"

Seeing Mother Zhou staring at her, she quickly lowered her head and said, "Eat, I'll eat!"

Use chopsticks to pick a piece of meat from the side of the fish head and put it into your mouth.

"Cough cough cough... so spicy!" He usually likes spicy food, but he didn't expect this fish head to be particularly spicy.

After taking a sip of tea, I thought about the taste just now. Although it was spicy, it seemed... very enjoyable.

It was obvious that Zhou's mother was a little unhappy today, and he didn't dare to offend her again, so he picked another piece of meat with chopsticks.

This time I was mentally prepared. Although it was still spicy, it was really enjoyable.

I couldn't stop eating one chopstick after another.

The head of this fish is not big. Zhou Tong originally asked Yan Kai to prepare it and bring it back for him to try.

After eating a few bites, I felt empty.

"Why do you have such a small fish head?"

Then he looked at the golden thing next to him: "What is this?"

After careful identification, I found that it was a crab, cut in half from the middle, and then made golden with something unknown.

He had never eaten crabs like this before. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, Mother Zhou said, "Don't you want it spicy? The red one next to it is called chili noodles. You put some on it."

"This?" Mr. Zhou smelled it and almost choked and sneezed.

Out of curiosity, I sprinkled some on it and put it in my mouth.

"Wow, it's delicious!" It's a completely different feeling from the spiciness just now, but it's delicious anyway.

But the problem is that there is only one crab on the plate, half of it is eaten in two bites, half of it is eaten in two bites, and it is gone again.

Smash it in your mouth, it tastes really good, but it tastes really good. I'm already hungry, but after finishing these two dishes, why do I feel even hungrier?

The third dish was pickled fish, which I had never eaten before. As soon as the sour and slightly spicy soup entered his stomach, Mr. Zhou felt like the coldness was forced out of his whole body.

But it was a small bowl and there were only two pieces of fish.

He slapped his chopsticks on the dining table angrily.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou's mother stared at him.

"I..." Mr. Zhou said hard: "I am also the head of the family. Who is responsible for the food? It's just the same. Can't my Zhou family afford food?"

"There are five dishes and one soup here, what's missing?" Mother Zhou looked at him, suddenly smiled and asked, "Master, do you think these dishes are delicious?"

Mr. Zhou didn't know why she asked, but he said honestly: "It's delicious! Has the chef changed at home? These dishes are better than the ones I ate at those big restaurants in Luoyang, Chang'an, where Xiao Pushe's family held a banquet last time , it doesn’t feel as delicious as this one.”

The Xiao Shangshu in his mouth was Xiao Yu, who was the right servant of Shangshu at that time.

"How much does it cost to hire a cook? Or since you know how to run a household, this cook is worth it."

"Where did you hire the cook? This is not made by our cook."

"Isn't it made by our cook?" Mr. Zhou was stunned: "Did you buy it from a newly opened restaurant nearby?"

"Not at all."

"Oh, please stop showing off." Mr. Zhou was already eating braised pig ear slices at this time.

He didn't know what it was, but it tasted soft and chewy on the outside, with a small strip of crisp bone in the middle, and it was so delicious when dipped in the chili noodles just now.

"Isn't this the restaurant that Tong'er just said he wanted to invite to cook for the old lady's birthday party? It hasn't opened yet."

"What?" Mr. Zhou put the pig ear slices in his mouth with chopsticks and asked in disbelief: "Can he hire such a cook?"

In his opinion, chefs with this skill would be sought after by dignitaries even in big restaurants in Luoyang and Chang'an.

How can I invite a small Zhou family to my house?

"Humph, this is no ordinary cook!" Zhou's mother said, "You should know about Master Zheng's illness last time, right?"

"I know, the quack doctors in Yangping Town almost killed the patient. Later, Master Zheng invited the imperial doctor to cure him."

"Haha, I knew you didn't know." Mother Zhou said with a smile: "That was just an excuse to the outside world. I heard that it was actually one of Mr. Zheng's husbands who was saved with the magic medicine."

"Is there still such a thing?" Mr. Zhou didn't believe it.

"Anyway, Mr. Zheng's husband has a very high status in the Zheng family. I heard that his mother and sister opened this restaurant when they were free at home. If Tong'er didn't have a good relationship with him, do you really think that he would be willing to come to my house to cook? ?”

"I have heard about Mr. Zheng's husband. I heard that he is very good at arithmetic. I asked Tong'er to spend more time with Mr. Zheng. In addition to thinking about making friends with the Zheng family, I also thought about whether he could learn a lot. Unexpectedly That unsatisfactory guy..."

"You're here again, how can Tong'er fail to live up to his expectations?" Zhou's mother waved her hand: "Anyway, you want to host the old lady's birthday banquet in a decent way, then go and admit your mistake to Tong'er yourself and let him take the person away. Invite me, or you can just use your old cooks."

Left immediately after speaking.

"Me? I am his father, and I am apologizing to him?" Mr. Zhou said angrily, "That's impossible."

Looking back at the table, there was still the last piece of braised pig ear slices, and only the last bit of chili noodles. I carefully wrapped all the chili noodles with braised pig ears and put it in my mouth.

"It's delicious!"
