Mr. Minguo's kitchen

After stepping into the hot weather, the cicadas resounded through the sky.In the early morning, Marshal Ye was not working in his room, but moved all the telegram documents to the courtyard of Xiaobieye, next to the painter, surrounded by hibiscus flowers, and the two of them did not speak among the flowers but just held hands things, each other in peace.

Lin Weirui is drawing on the drawing board. The recent menu has changed a lot, so he simply redesigned a version.Like cooking, he is not a slow-tempered person. Once he decides what to cook, he will be up and down with his hands.The slender and white fingers gripped the pencil, and the tip never stopped.It will slow down a little when it is painted, as if the work is done slowly and meticulously like carving and pouring juice.But he throws it away after painting, and has no intention of appreciating the mounting. From the fact that he can use paintings as menus, it can be seen that painting is just a tool for him to relax.

Seeing that he was almost finished drawing, Ye Honghu who was next to him said, "I heard that Wei Rui is going to hold a dinner party?" He asked this purely to bring out the topic, not to mention the time and place of the dinner party, but who will attend him It's all clear, and the background information of those people is now on his desk.

Lin Weirui was packing her things, and when she heard the words, she raised her chin lightly, and Ye Laosi went on to say, "This celebrity dinner will really help the restaurant to become famous all over the country, whether Weirui plans to open a branch elsewhere in the future or Everything else is fine, it’s all beneficial and harmless. There’s no need to worry about this meal with you, but Wei Rui, can you think about the program at this meal party?”

Lin Weirui has been really bothered by this recently. He put away the pen he was playing with carefully, raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party, "According to the fourth brother's opinion, what should I do?" Because he was in his own home, he was wearing a short-sleeved white coat, The fabric is the most sweat-absorbing silk, very slippery, and the style looks weird to the people around, but it doesn't prevent him from being cool.The gown was made loose to match his cool mind. At this moment, he leaned forward slightly, with the front of his clothes open wide. From Ye Honghu's perspective, he could see the slightly upright pink tenderness in the dizzying snow-white. Under the daydream of the part is covered, can not see clearly.Ye Honghu's eyes were heavy, his eyelids drooped, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he approached calmly.

"Maybe we can set up a theater and find some famous actors to join us. I heard that a newly opened restaurant in Beiping has set up a special stage in the courtyard for diners and fanciers to enjoy. It has attracted countless fanciers and literati, and the business is booming. Follow one or two."

Lin Weirui lowered her head and thought about it. This idea is not bad. When the time comes, let these gentlemen eat while listening to the play, write poems and compose poems as they feel, and finally leave the works, and he will not accompany them.

"Let's leave this matter to Wu Mian. He's been quite free recently."

Lin Weirui wanted to refuse, the moment she raised her eyes to look at him, someone naturally lowered her head.Lin Weirui only felt that her lips brushed against a soft and rough object inadvertently.

The world was suddenly very quiet, even the sound of cicadas became quieter.Lin Weirui saw his surprised face clearly reflected in the pair of pitch-black starry eyes that were close at hand, and seemed to hide many complicated things.The tips of their noses were almost touching, the other's heavy breath hit his face, slightly itchy, and they didn't move.

Before Lin Weirui regained consciousness, she couldn't help squinting her eyes. The long eyelashes seemed to sweep across his eyes, and the corners of the man's mouth seemed to be moving.He subconsciously leaned back, but unfortunately, the movement was a bit slow, the other party's pursed lips happened to cover his lower lip for a moment, after retreating, Lin Weirui pursed his lips, feeling the cool moisture on his lips .

When he backed away, he realized that the distance between the two had been shortened to the size of a fist.He was originally sitting on a hollow carved chair. At this moment, Ye Honghu, who was still on another chair, had come to him, with one hand resting on the back of his chair and the other on the beige round table. Most of Lin Weirui's body on the chair was covered by his figure.

"Be careful." Ye Honghu raised his hand and covered the back of the opponent's head, fearing that he would fall.His fingertips brushed against the tips of his ears, and the tentacles felt hot.Mr. Ye, who succeeded in stealing fragrance, noticed that a certain person's white jade-like pointed ears had been burnt to a drunken glow, and he still didn't know it, and he was looking at him not to be outdone.It's fried.

There was nothing unusual on Ye Honghu's face, and he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you looking up."

Lin Weirui sat down and forgot what she was going to refuse just now, she just nodded nonchalantly: "It's nothing, I didn't pay attention just now."

The two people who came into close contact by accident just turned the matter over with each other.

In private, one of them licked his lips and said to himself, well, it's as sweet as imagined.The other person pierced the sketch paper with the tip of his pen and thought to himself, he is very angry, it seems that it is better to be a vegetarian for the next three days.

The whistle sounded, and the train slowed down, with the characteristic bumpy sound from far to near.Yu Zuotang has become a frequent visitor to the train station recently, and even the old woman who sells tea at the door knows him.He came to pick up Wu Shunyu and his party of a dozen people who were going south.Even in the summer, even if they were working in the highest-end workshops, the guests who came from afar were still covered in sweat. They put on top hats, hired a few rickshaws and rushed to the inn.

After tidying up, a group of more than a dozen people sat down at the inn to drink tea and reminisce about the old days. Among the dozen or so people, there were politicians, literati, revolutionaries, painters, calligraphers, musicians, dramatists, whatever. When people bring them out to the street, they are all famous celebrities.The common point among them is that they are all easy to eat. After so many names, they have added the identity of a foodie.

Everyone asked each other about the latest situation, and friends who were well-informed all congratulated Yu Zuo Tang on his reinstatement and even improved to a higher level.Xiangcheng has no special customs and customs, and there are no famous literati attractions, so in the end, the people who traveled all the way still agreed to go directly to the dinner party tomorrow.Waiting for this meal!This group of foodie gentlemen decided to temporarily suppress their eager stomachs today.

At noon the next day, the sun was still shining. Gentlemen in suits and leather shoes arrived at Fenglai Residence in rickshaws. Lin Weirui, as one of the hosts of the dinner party, greeted guests in front of the door together with Yu Zuotang.It was still the Qunying Pavilion where Wu Shunyu and the others first came that day, but it was changed to a table that could seat 20 people.The floor-to-ceiling vase is filled with ice cubes, exuding air-conditioning and floral fragrance.The gentlemen in suits and collars seemed to have entered heaven, each of them breathed a sigh of relief, and their feelings of affection increased greatly.

There is a rather large venue between the two small buildings of Youfenglaiju, and a temporary stage is set up at this moment.When Wu Mian heard that he wanted to show off for his wife, he spared no expense and spent whatever money he could.So it was temporary, but it looked more well-equipped than other opera troupes, and Yuan Xiaolan, the famous Peking opera actress who was once the most popular in Beijing, was invited all the way from the capital. It can be said that everything was ready.

After Yu Zuotang and his party entered the door, a fancier said: "Hey! There is an opera troupe in Fenglaiju!"

Wu Shunyu didn't have this thing when he came here before, and it was the first time Yu Zuotang saw it, so the theater troupe was specially invited by the restaurant in all likelihood to welcome them, and being treated like this, gentlemen, your vanity has been blown away. Satisfied, naturally with a smile on his face and complacent, when he saw Lin Weirui, he was full of praise.

It is reasonable to say that Lin Weirui is not as good as the dwarves in terms of dancing and writing, but Wu Shunyu and others have learned about this gentleman's excellence, and they dare not be contemptuous. Moreover, Lin Weirui has a very personal and unique skill. The gorgeous and magnificent painting skills are handy.Unexpectedly, the diners who came here for the first time admired the menu of Youfeng Laiju. A painter friend was shocked and urged people to see other masterpieces.

Lin Weirui had no choice but to take out the works drawn in the space without incident.This is amazing, everyone can see the far-reaching artistic conception of the painting in front of him, and the painter Mr. Zhang is even more excited, praising this picture of the troubled spring mountain scene, and there are many others who only have a little knowledge of calligraphy and painting I learned that Mr. Lin's painting standard is very high.Lin Weirui didn't feel how powerful she was, at best she just took advantage of the times.

The people who met for the first time had an unexpectedly harmonious atmosphere, and when they were seated, because they were the hosts again, they were given the first seat by everyone.When the food is on the table, the diners will really praise people to the sky.

When the dishes were served, Bing Lebai first picked up a piece of plump and dripping duck paw and put it in his mouth, eating and savoring it: "Such plump and boneless duck paws must be stuffed duck paws. It is glutinous, it tastes delicious with this ham, the spring bamboo shoots are so greasy, and it is steamed on the fire. It has a plump feeling when chewed, and it has a different flavor. There is really no place like Fenglaiju in other places. It's fragrant but not greasy!"

Seeing that he has some opinions on eating, Lin Weirui is willing to explain his doubts: "The other flavor comes from the fact that the duck's feet are soaked in high-quality rice wine for half a day, and then they are taken out and steamed in a pot until they swell."

Wu Shunyu was also full of praise for this dish of duck feet. Seeing that the sliced ​​spring bamboo shoots in this dish looked like a ladder, he said, "This dish is beautifully presented, especially the spring bamboo shoots add color. I think it's not enough to call it braised duck feet." Momentum, it should be called 'Ladder Duck's Palm'!" Everyone agreed, and Lin Weirui also agreed.

After the rice was served, Yu Zuotang saw that the rice grains in the bowl were golden and exuded the fragrance of flowers, unlike the ordinary rice he usually ate in restaurants, so he asked what it was.

Miss Xiao was on the side, and introduced after seeing this: "This is the new golden rice of our store. It is made of peach blossom rice from Xuanhan County and top-grade golden chrysanthemum with purple stems and yellow flowers. It is also steamed with sweet spring water from the source of Fuxian River. Long-term food improves eyesight and nourishes the stomach, Mr. Yu has a good appetite, you can eat more."

Yu Zuotang hugged and smiled and said to others: "Look, this eloquent girl has a reason to teach others. This kind of hospitality is really only available to Feng Laiju." Miss Xiao smiled generously on the surface. , but she was a little ashamed to be ridiculed by everyone, so Lin Weirui let her go down when she saw this.

The gentlemen finished laughing immediately, and turned their attention to the golden rice. Chrysanthemums have always been praised by literati as noble flowers. The most famous one is Mr. Tao Qian who retreated to the mountains and forests to "pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence".Using chrysanthemums in dishes is an elegant thing in itself, not to mention that the rice tastes more fragrant than ordinary meat dishes.

At this moment, there was still an orchid tripe on the table, and a gentleman who liked to write poetry asked: "Now the three gentlemen of bamboo, chrysanthemum and orchid have arrived. If there is no Mei Jun, I will regret this trip all my life!" People take a closer look, oh!It really is!There were more than [-] dishes on the table, none of which had nothing to do with bamboo, chrysanthemum orchids. All the refined scholars laughed and understood the meaning of Youfeng Laiju's meal, and they all laughed and asked Lin Weirui when the Mei Jun would arrive.The old god Lin Weirui was there, so he just asked them to wait.
