Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Everyone at the table was dumbfounded when they saw the waiter bring the food to the table.

The fragrance filled the entire private room. They had only eaten dishes cooked by Sha Zhu before. It was the first time for everyone, including Yan Fugui, to eat dishes cooked by a chef in a restaurant.

It is a great pleasure to have a bite of authentic Cantonese cuisine.

The delicious food filled Liu Haizhong's mouth. Since everyone at the table was familiar with each other, no one was polite. The first dish, boiled chicken, was ready within five minutes. When the waiter came in to serve the dish again, the chicken bones were neatly placed on the plate. Everyone had greasy mouths and their expressions were full of enjoyment.

The second dish is crispy roast goose. As the saying goes, there is roast duck in the north and roast goose in the south. The goose feathers are first processed, and then the belly is stuffed with sauce. It is then smoked and roasted with lychee wood until the skin is golden and crispy.

If the boiled chicken is delicious, then the roast goose has a rich fat aroma and is even more delicious when dipped in sour plum sauce.

Later, the special dishes such as braised pigeon and Hakka stuffed tofu were served. Everyone ate them with their mouths drooling and enjoyed the delicious food.

Especially Director Wang, who was used to eating Sichuan cuisine, praised this delicious Cantonese cuisine highly when he tasted it for the first time!

After getting used to northern cuisine, trying something new is a great satisfaction for the taste buds.

"This dish is really well made, fresh! So delicious!"

"Director Wang, this dish is just to your liking. If you want to eat it in the future, just come to our store and I will treat you personally!"

Xiao Weiguo had been waiting on both sides of Director Wang, and he felt very happy to hear such high evaluation.

It actually started a joke!

"I think Sha Zhu is going to be in trouble this time. My Cantonese cuisine is so authentic. I will volunteer to cook it for the guests in the future. I'm sure the guests will be full of praise. As for Sha Zhu's Sichuan cuisine, let him take a break! After so many years, most of the regular customers are tired of it."

Xiao Weiguo was joking around, but Director Wang just kept nodding his head.

"I think Weiguo's idea is good. Xianggen, we often have some big clients who are treated to Sichuan cuisine every time they come. It's okay once or twice, but it will be boring if we do it more often. Next time when there is a dinner party in the factory, we will go straight to your place."

Xiao Weiguo slapped his hands and said, "No problem, as long as you let Secretary Li know in advance, no matter how busy the restaurant is, I will reserve a private room in advance and ensure that good wine and good food are served!"

"Yes, yes, that's the best way. Secretary Li, remember to say hello in advance!"

Director Wang and his entourage were drinking enthusiastically, and the other guests who came to congratulate them were also very satisfied.

Although the taste may not suit northerners, it is still delicious.

In the kitchen, the chef worked hard for a short day and finally finished the last dish.

"Boss Xiao, are there any leftovers on the table in the front hall? Are the dishes cooked today to your taste?"

Wang Dana is a great cook and is humble in charge of the entire kitchen. Everyone admires him from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Weiguo smiled and waved his hands. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Dana retorted with a helpless look on his face.

"Hey, I knew that northerners are used to eating salty food, so they are not used to the sudden change of taste... I will try the leftovers later to see if there are any shortcomings and improve them next time."

Seeing Wang Dana so depressed, Xiao Weiguo laughed out loud.

"Old Wang, don't be discouraged! You have to have confidence in your cooking skills! Looking at the entire city, the Cantonese cuisine you cook is absolutely authentic and unique! You better hurry up when you go out to taste the food, otherwise there will be no more soup!"

Wang Dana's eyes were filled with horror, and he didn't dare to believe it.

The apprentice Zhang Pangzi walked towards the front hall curiously and came back running a few seconds later.

"Master, what Boss Xiao said is true. There's not even any soup on the table! All plates are gone!"

Wang Dana finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his apprentice's certification.

After all, Xiao Weiguo spent a lot of money to hire him, and he can't let his boss lose money instead of making any profit!

"Lao Wang, just focus on cooking and don't worry about other things. By the way, from now on, you can call me Manager Xiao or Director Xiao in the store!"

After saying that, Xiao Weiguo turned around handsomely, lifted the curtain and left.

He instantly charmed a group of young girls and wives in the kitchen.

I don’t know what method Xiao Weiguo uses to maintain his skin. He is in his thirties, but there is no sign of aging on his face.

It's simply the real-life version of Lao Guo and Jimmy Lin!

Xu Damao's long face has shown signs of aging at the corners of his eyes due to the passage of time. Xiao Weiguo is two years older than him, but they look completely different!

Not only is there not a trace of frown in the corners of his eyes, but there is a sense of calmness and sophistication that comes with age, giving people an inexplicable sense of security and dependence!

The five waiters in the front hall would take a look at him whenever they had the chance, and they were discussing behind his back whether they would still have a chance if Xiao Weiguo was not married.

When they learned that he was already the father of two children, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

The four big words "Good luck in opening" were prominently posted on the window, and soon Zui Xiang Lou's fame soared rapidly. However, many people were deterred by the prices.

Liu Haizhong and his group drank so much that their bellies were full and they staggered back to the alley.

"Second Master, you look really happy today. I don't know if it's because the food and wine at Xiao Weiguo Restaurant is to your taste, or because you're getting married tomorrow, you look so happy!"

Chen Dapao was joking slowly, and Xu Damao couldn't help but speak.

"Needless to say? It must be because he is happy that his brother is getting married tomorrow! Speaking of which, Lao Liu, Sha Zhu will be the chef tomorrow, so your feast will surely be great."

"Yes, I won't eat when I get home tonight. I'll clear my stomach. I don't know what will happen tomorrow morning, so I have to save some space for the wedding banquet!"

Chen Dapao became more and more excited as he spoke. Xu Damao was about to scold him for being useless, but he also felt that this was a good idea.

It won’t be considered as mistreating yourself if you save two meals and make up for it by having a big meal at noon tomorrow.

But Liu Haizhong was scared.

"Chen Dapao, you bastard, how could your father, who is so honest and upright, give birth to such a sinister person like you? If you are not afraid of losing face, just do it. I will publicize your glorious deeds in the hospital."

Liu Haizhong stretched out his hand to hit someone, fortunately Chen Dapao ran fast, otherwise he would have been beaten up by Lao Liu.

Even from a distance, Chen Dapao was still irritating, "Just go ahead and say it. There must be a lot of people who think this is a good idea. Maybe everyone would rather go hungry for two meals and wait for the big meal at noon."

"We've got all the big elbows, chicken, duck, fish and meat, otherwise there won't be enough to eat!"

Chen Dapao said while running and looking back, afraid that Liu Haizhong couldn't hear him and wouldn't be angry with him.

Xu Damao was laughing secretly in the back. As for the three uncles in the yard, Chen Dapao had already followed in Xiao Weiguo's footsteps and had a bit of that flavor.
