The Culinary Tycoon

The next day, there was a thank-you banquet in the Cai Mansion.

After Yu Qingze and Brother Le waited for Brother Chang and the others to arrive, they immediately took Jiabao to Cai's Mansion.Today, I will not only make some dim sum, but also cook eight tables of dishes.

After arriving at the Cai Mansion, Yu Qingze and the others went directly to the kitchen.Jiabao also went to help for a while, and when he arrived at Sishi, he was taken by Mi Geer to wash and change clothes.

This thank-you banquet was much more grand than Cai Chenxi's previous elections. The last time it was just a tea party, and husbands from various aristocratic families were invited to attend.This time it was a dinner banquet, and the guests were the head husbands and wives of celebrities from various families in Tongshan City.

Originally, Mrs. Cai didn't want Yu Qingze to cook this time. After all, Yu Qingze is Jiabao's brother-in-law, not their private cook in Cai's house. In the past, eating at his own house was enough to trouble others. Now this kind of banquet, with so many tables, Why bother him.He arranged to let Fu Bo and the others do it directly.

However, Yu Qingze considered that he was usually taken care of by the Cai family a lot, so he wanted to take the opportunity to repay him.Moreover, a restaurant is about to open, so I can use this to promote it, so I took the initiative to mention it.

If Yu Qingze could do it, Mrs. Cai would naturally be very happy. After the guests were entertained, the Cai family would have some face, so they agreed.

Eight tables of dishes and snacks are not a small amount. Fortunately, Brother Le can also cook some dishes. In addition, Forber and the others have called him many times, and they are basically familiar with some of his requirements, and the cooperation is smooth. .

In the front yard, the guests came one after another, except for the husbands and wives of each family, most of them brought their children.These children are basically young men who are determined to take the exam for fame. The parents bring joy to the champion's family, maybe the next champion in Tongshan City will be their own.

Mrs. Cai and his wife brought Cai Yunwei and Jiabao to receive the guests in the main hall.

"Hey, Nephew Hu Xian, you're here!" Old Master Cai exclaimed in surprise when he saw the people attracted by the boy at the door.

"Congratulations, old man, old man! Great joy!" A couple came in with their children, and the head of the house cupped their hands to congratulate.

Old Mrs. Cai stroked his beard and smiled, "Hahaha, thank you, thank you. Nephew Hu Xian, you are finally here, come in and sit down. Just now, Nephew Liang Xian was asking about you and said he wanted to have a good drink with you!"

"Oh? He's here? Then I'll go find him. He didn't drink with me last time. He's quite vengeful, hahaha..." Mr. Hu said with a smile.

Old Mrs. Cai laughed and said, "Hahaha, then you can drink well today, and you won't go home if you don't get drunk!"

Here, Hu Fulang also smiled and said congratulations, and let the teenagers around him shout.

Seeing the young man, Mrs. Cai said with a smile, "Yo, I haven't seen you for a few months. Ming'er has grown taller again! You're so handsome!"

Hu Fulang patted his son's head and said with a smile, "I've eaten a lot lately, and after the new year, I've grown up all of a sudden."

"It's time to grow up, you can rest assured now, I was always worried that he wouldn't grow up." Mrs. Cai said with a smile.

Hu Fulang was obviously very happy, and said: "Yes, I have always been shorter than children of the same age before, so don't worry."

"That's not the time yet, Ming'er can still grow in the future!" Mrs. Cai said with a smile, and then introduced to their husband and wife: "Come on, Wei'er, Yu'er, have you met Hu Shishu and Hu Shishu? Uncle, and Hu Ming."

Cai Yunwei and Jiabao heard the words, took a step forward, bowed their hands together, and shouted: "Hello Uncle Hu, hello uncle! Hello brother Ming'er."

"Okay, Yunwei is in good health, that's great!" Head Hu said happily, then looked at Jiabao next to Cai Yunwei, and asked doubtfully, "Who is this?"

The fact that the Cai Mansion recognized Jiabao as a adopted son was not publicized, only a few well-informed members of the aristocratic family knew that the Cai Mansion had adopted a new adopted son.Mrs. Cai asked Jiabao to follow them today, partly to introduce Jiabao to people from different families.

Old Fulang Cai pulled Jiabao to his side, and said with a smile, "This is Wendong's newly adopted adopted son, named Fu Jiayu."

Jiabao saluted again and called out: "Have you met Uncle Hu Shi, Uncle?"

"Okay." Mr. Hu responded, touched his body, he didn't bring anything of value, and said: "I didn't bring anything out today, and Uncle Shi will back up the gift tomorrow to make it up."

Jiabao smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, you are welcome."

Old Fulang Cai took the words and said: "Don't be so polite, I just want him to recognize the person, so that I don't know how to address him when I see him in the future."

Hu Fulang looked at Jiabao, surprised and said: "I see, Yu'er looks like the little accountant in Yuji's snack bar?"

Old Fulang Cai nodded, and said, "That's him. Boss Yu of Yu Ji is his adopted brother, and he's learning how to do business."

Hu Fulang was stunned, and said: "So that's the case, I said it looks like it."

While talking here, at the door, Butler Cai personally led two gorgeously dressed people in.

Butler Cai approached, and said to everyone: "Master, old man, the county magistrate and husband are here."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately saluted and said, "I pay my respects to the county magistrate."

Luo Mingda put his left hand behind his back, and held a folding fan in his right hand. He looked like a flirtatious talent, and said with a smile: "Hey, this is not in the county government office. There is no county magistrate today. I am the only one, Luo Mingda. Don't be polite, eat well." Drink well."

When everyone heard it, they looked at each other.

Old Master Cai laughed, and said: "Then let's listen to Master Luo. If Master Luo Luo Fulang can visit you, the humble house will be full of splendor. Haha, please come inside."

Hearing this, Luo Mingda smiled and clasped his fists to Mrs. Cai and his wife: "Old man, old man Lang, congratulations to the two of you." Luo Fulang also congratulated the two at the right time.

Mr. Cai said: "I accept your auspicious words. Come, please, the two of you."

Invite the two of them to the hall to sit down. The people in the hall had already heard the news, and after a good salute, they sat down.

After sitting down, Luo Ming took a sip of tea, and saw a few plates of snacks on the coffee table, which he had never seen before, and was immediately attracted.

He picked up one of the cakes, which was half golden and half white like a flower, and tasted it. It was sweet but not greasy, and it was full of fragrance.

"This snack tastes good, I haven't seen it much."

Mrs. Cai replied with a smile: "This is sweet potato yam cake, made with sweet potato and yam."

Hearing this, Luo Fulang took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, then stretched out his hand to twist a piece, covered his mouth with his hands, tasted it, then nodded lightly, and said: "The taste is really good, not worse than the dim sum in the capital."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cai smiled and said: "It's not as good as the ones in the capital, but you can still eat it. The other dim sum tastes are also good, you two can try it too."

"What kind of dim sum is this? It seems to be stuffed with meat. It's delicious." When Cai Laofulang and Luo Fulang were talking, Luo Mingda had already taken another small piece of champion cake and ate it.

Old Mrs. Cai paused, and then said with a smile: "This, this is called the No. [-] Scholar Cake, and the family made it themselves for the celebration."

"Oh? No. [-] Scholar Cake?" Luo Mingda heard the words, picked up the snack in his hand, looked around, and said with a smile: "This name is good, I should eat more! Maybe I can also win the No. [-] Scholar for fun." What about the son? Hahaha, don’t you think so?” He ate the cake in one gulp.

Hearing this, the big guy smiled and looked around, but no one dared to answer for a while.Now no one can figure out the meaning of what this young master Luo said.

Luo Fulang glanced at Luo Mingda, and said lightly: "Okay, you have a bad stomach, don't eat so many desserts."

Old Mrs. Cai hurriedly said, "What, Master Luo has a bad stomach? You have to eat less sweets. I'll ask someone to make a pot of stomach-nourishing tea."

As he said that, Mrs. Cai summoned his servants to make tea.

Because Mrs. Lominda came, the atmosphere in the hall was obviously not as warm as before. People from other aristocratic families hadn't figured out the temperament of the new county magistrate, so they spoke cautiously and talked with each other in low voices.

For a while, only Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cai were chatting with them, and sometimes Mr. and Mrs. Zhao just exchanged a word or two.

That is to say, before the banquet was about to start, after a period of observation, some people who wanted to get in touch with the county magistrate took the initiative to talk.

Fortunately, not long after, the housekeeper came to inform that the meeting could be held.

Mrs. Cai and his wife greeted the guests to take their seats, and invited Mrs. and Mrs. Lominda to the main table.

In the specially cleaned-up hall, tables and chairs have been set up, and the servants have already served the main course.

Four cold dishes, eight hot dishes and one hot dish, the whole table is full of color, fragrance and taste.The guests were attracted by the aroma as soon as they came in, and they were a little surprised to see the dishes that were different from what everyone usually eats.

When the guests were all seated, Mrs. Cai said a few opening remarks symbolically, expressing her gratitude to the families, and then invited Luo Mingda to say a few words.

As soon as Luo Mingda sat down, he was attracted by the large plate of goose meat in front of him. It was shiny with oil and looked delicious.At this time, when he heard Mrs. Cai calling him to talk, he stood up, laughed, and said: "I have nothing to say when you ask me to talk, so I wish the young master of Cai's house every success, and wish the old man and the old man good health! Everyone eat and drink well!"

After speaking, when Mrs. Cai announced the opening of the banquet, he took the lead in eating a piece of goose meat.

The goose meat is full of rich soup, unlike other meat dishes, it is sweet and sour, very appetizing.

Luo Mingda had never eaten goose in this way before, so he immediately asked: "Old man, what is the name of this goose? I have never seen this kind of food."

Old Mrs. Cai replied: "This is called Wubeige. Master Luo likes it?"

Luo Mingda nodded and said with a smile: "The taste is very good. The cook in the house is good, can you lend me for two days? I just came here, and the cook hasn't even found the market yet."

Old Mrs. Cai laughed when he heard the words: "This is not made by the cook in the house, but by my grandson's brother-in-law."

Luo Mingda was surprised when he heard the words: "Really? Old man Lang, this brother-in-law is very skilled, can you introduce him?"

Old Mrs. Cai paused for a moment, then asked, "What does Master Luo mean?"

Luo Mingda smiled and said: "Seeing that he is very good at cooking, I want to invite him to the county government to cook."

Old Mrs. Cai smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Luo, I dare not promise you this."

The other people at the table also looked at the two of them delicately, and they all ate in silence, not daring to answer.

"Then I'll ask him personally, why don't you invite him here?" Luo Mingda said with a smile.

Mrs. Cai glanced at his wife, Mrs. Cai nodded.

Old Mrs. Cai got up, went through several tables, came to Yu Qingze's table, and said to Yu Qingze in a low voice: "Xiao Yu, Master Luo is eating the five cups of goose, so I want you to cook for him. He intends to cook for him. Come here, don't promise him later, we will deal with the rest."

Brother Le heard it too, and looked at Yu Qingze worriedly.

Yu Qingze raised his eyebrows, nodded, got up and adjusted his clothes, reached out and patted Brother Le on the shoulder to reassure him, and then followed Mrs. Cai over.

"Master Luo, this is Yu Qingze who cooked this table today." Mrs. Cai introduced.

"I've seen Master Luo." Yu Qingze saluted.

Seeing him, Luo Mingda put down his chopsticks, turned around, and said, "Did you cook all these dishes?"

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "Yes."

Luo Mingda glanced at him, picked up the cloth towel and wiped his hands, then said casually: "It tastes very good. There is a shortage of a cook in my house now, why don't you come to my side to do things, and the monthly payment is up to you."

Yu Qingze: ...
