Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

"These are fried with the leftover side dishes. If you don't mind, we can eat them together."

When Uncle Wang heard Zhang Liang's words, he happily agreed:

"Okay! There's no way I would dislike the food you cook!"

Uncle Wang really likes Zhang Liang's craftsmanship from the bottom of his heart, so there is no question of whether he dislikes it or not.

Uncle Wang happily took his fifth sister to sit at Zhang Liang's table. He also said to Zhang Lin:

"Give me a bowl of white rice, little girl. This dish made by your brother is the best with rice. It would be a bit tasteless without rice."

Zhang Lin also likes Uncle Wang very much. After all, the reason why their business has been getting better and better in the past two days is largely due to Uncle Wang.

So after hearing what Uncle Wang said, Zhang Lin ran to get more white rice and brought it to Uncle Wang:

"Uncle Wang, your rice."

Uncle Wang took the meal with a smile, and started eating the dishes in front of him with the brothers and sisters.

Because today's meal was made with leftover ingredients, Zhang Liang simply cooked two new dishes.

Looking at the pig's trotter soup and twice-cooked pork in front of him, Uncle Wang was drooling with greed.

He couldn't wait to pick up a piece of twice-cooked pork and started eating:

"It smells so good! It smells so good! No one else can compare to your twice-cooked pork!"

Chen Xueru watched Uncle Wang eating with gusto and joked:

"Uncle Wang, why don't you go to other restaurants and have dinner here with the brothers and sisters?"

While eating, Uncle Wang looked back at her and said with a smile:

"There's no point in my old man going home, as the younger generations in the family are busy working in the winery."

When he said this, Uncle Wang also teased Chen Xueru:

"If I go home now, I'll be in a cold house like you, with no one else in it."

When Chen Xueru heard what Uncle Wang said, she rolled her eyes in annoyance:

"Who is just like you."

Uncle Wang did not continue talking to her. After all, the food in front of him smelled so good that he was lost and his mind was focused on the dishes in front of him.

When he was enjoying the meal, Uncle Wang sighed and said:

"Zhang Liang, I think the taste of your twice-cooked pork is so unique that it can be sold as a separate dish."

"As for the name, don't just call it twice-cooked pork. Let's name it after you."

When Zhang Liang heard what Uncle Wang said, he just smiled and shook his head:

"Uncle Wang, this twice-cooked pork is not new to me, it has appeared in other places."

"There are many ways to cook twice-cooked pork. The twice-cooked pork I cooked before was Sichuan style, stir-fried with dried chilies and garlic sprouts."

"There was no other food available today, so I chose to cook twice-cooked pork with dried chilies and peanuts. Although the taste is different, it is not my original creation."

"This can be considered a home-cooked twice-cooked pork, or it can be considered a Shandong cuisine dish."

"So, if I give this twice-cooked pork a name, it would be inappropriate."

When Uncle Wang heard Zhang Liang's words, he nodded thoughtfully:

"I see, there are so many details to this twice-cooked pork. I didn't know there are so many side dishes that can be used to cook it in different ways."

Zhang Liang smiled and nodded:

"There aren't many restaurants in Beijing that serve this kind of twice-cooked pork, so it's understandable that you haven't had it."

Uncle Wang thought for a moment, then looked at Zhang Liang and asked:

"Zhang Liang, your cooking skills are really comparable to those of a state banquet master. Tell me the truth, does your master work at Diaoyutai?"

Zhang Liang naturally understood why Uncle Wang asked him this, but he couldn't tell him about his system, so he could only shake his head and say:

"Uncle Wang, I don't have any master from Diaoyutai. I am self-taught."

Of course Uncle Wang couldn't believe what he said. After all, he looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. If he didn't have a master to guide him, how could he cook such delicious dishes?

So Uncle Wang asked another question:

"Don't lie to me. Your cooking skills are really better than those of the chef at Diaoyutai."

"I've eaten dishes made by several chefs at Diaoyutai. Is your chef's surname Du, Wang, or Hu?"

"I've often seen the dishes you cook these past two days, and they taste a bit like those made by these three chefs. You must have chosen one of them as your master!"

Zhang Liang saw that Uncle Wang was getting more and more ridiculous, so he quickly interrupted him and said:

"Uncle Wang, please stop guessing. I really don't have any master."

"I just follow the recipe at home and cook it like this after a while."

Uncle Wang ate twice-cooked pork and shook his head:

"Forget it. Although I am old, I won't believe you if you say that!"

"If you ask me, you are definitely the apprentice of a chef from Diaoyutai!"

When Chen Xueru heard what Uncle Wang said, her eyes lit up. She smiled and asked:

"Uncle Wang, what you just said is true. Is Zhang Liang really the apprentice of a chef at Diaoyutai?"

"In that case, we are really lucky to have his cooking here!"

Uncle Wang smiled and confirmed her words, nodded and said:

"Of course. Zhang Liang's cooking skills are so good, not much worse than the state banquet master's. How could it be possible that he doesn't have a master?"

At this point, Uncle Wang continued to say to Chen Xueru:

"Xue Ru, if you want to open a restaurant with Zhang Liang, you really have to give him a good location."

"I think you should buy the Cuixuanlou next door, otherwise you won't be able to match their cooking skills!"

When Chen Xueru heard what Uncle Wang said, she suddenly realized what was going on and said "oh".

It turned out that it was because Zhang Liang had such a background.

Chen Xueru was puzzled at the time. Her conditions were so tempting that most people would have agreed to them long ago. Why could Zhang Liang be as calm as Uncle Wang and was not moved at all by his proposal!

Moreover, Zhang Liang looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was able to be so experienced. It turned out that he had such a powerful master.

No wonder, no wonder she felt that Zhang Liang gave her a different feeling from ordinary people.

If you say this now, then everything can be explained.

When Chen Xueru thought of this, she couldn't help but clapped her hands and said:

"I was wondering, I just put forward so many conditions, why didn't they agree?"

When he said this, Chen Xueru's eyes fell on the brothers and sisters again, and he looked at them carefully.

Looking at their clothes, they were worn, yellowed, and had several patches on them.
