Cooking

Chapter 17

"Xiao Li's craftsmanship is nothing to say, but girl, I prefer to see the two of you together."

Bu Langni TXed the other party but was TXed. Li Xiangrong said calmly, "I also know a few terms when chatting with my sister. Don't think I don't understand, Xingzi."

The author has something to say: I beg someone to pay attention to ==

Xingzi saw that Li Xiangrong was so upbeat, and was about to say, whoever attacks and who suffers, I think you all suffer, but attacking each other is not bad, but there were firecrackers in the middle of the yard, and it was time to start the feast.

Xingzi was called to take a seat at grandma's table, Buroni was relieved to see her go away, exchanged glances with Li Xiangrong and sat down to wait for the food to be served.

A few sour, spicy and spicy cold dishes to whet the appetite, and it’s time for the meat to be served as the main course. It’s late autumn, and although the sun is shining at noon, it’s still cool to sit in the yard, and the wine glasses in front of everyone are filled with white wine , exudes a strong aroma of wine.

Buroni and Li Xiangrong couldn't resist the host who poured the wine, so they had to drink three cups in a row with a bitter face. Buroni was fine, but Li Xiangrong blushed instantly and felt his limbs go weak.

"You have to eat something quickly," Buroni hurriedly brought him the hot dish that had just been served on the table. The crystal clear meat slices were steaming, and Li Xiangrong grabbed the chopsticks and bit them into his mouth, swallowing silently.

"Is it delicious?" Buroni took a slice for himself. The sweet, crispy and soft pork belly melted in your mouth, fat but not greasy, and contained the sweet aroma of rice wine. He was pleasantly surprised, "It's delicious!"

The other guests at the table asked him with a smile, "Which country are you from? Can you speak Chinese so well? Have you never eaten sweet roasted white?"

Buroni smiled and said, "I am Chinese and my mother is a minority. This is the first time I have eaten this meat. How is it made?"

An uncle enthusiastically introduced, "This sweet roasted pork is also called Jiasha pork. The cooked pork is smeared with rock sugar water, and fried with brown sugar juice to add washing sand, lard and sugar roses. The meat is sliced ​​and rolled with sugar juice. Then steam the soaked glutinous rice and mix it with sugar juice, put it on the meat slices and steam it over high heat, and pour it with white sugar and water to thicken it, the pork tastes sweet and plump, and the glutinous rice is moist and soft, which is good for nourishing the body in winter.”

Buroni nodded again and again, "It's really knowledgeable, uncle, you are very knowledgeable."

"Where is that?" the uncle shook his hand and smiled, "they are all local vegetables in the countryside. Look at this chowder, which uses shredded pork belly, shredded ham, shredded mushrooms, shredded cooked chicken, shredded winter bamboo shoots, crispy pork skin and loofah. , the color is beautiful, the taste is pleasant, and the soup is delicious and hot, so hurry up and try it.”

In Li Xiangrong's impression, Buroni is like a character living in an idol drama, with a graceful posture and elegant posture, even a little artificial, which is in itself a young master who is at odds with ordinary people, but at this moment, Buroni doesn't care about the same The seats were dark old farmers or dirty children, with a pair of thick bamboo chopsticks flying in their hands, clinking glasses boldly and eating meat, laughing and laughing with everyone.

Li Xiangrong ate some cold Zheer root and fried peanuts, and felt that the alcohol had passed, and the sun was shining on his body warmly, but all of Buroni's smiles were brighter than the sun, warm, intimate, and relaxed.

You can put your worries aside for a while and just be happy.

The characteristic of Tianxi is that it is not limited to the site, uses local materials, is not new and different, simple and affordable. There is a saying of "three steams and nine buckles". The three steams are clear steaming, powder steaming and dry steaming. "Knock" is to buckle the steamed vegetables into another bowl and put them on the table. Generally, there are nine varieties of chicken, duck and fish. They are put into nine bowls and put on the table.

In addition to the sweet roasted white meat, the three-steamed dish is filled with greasy and thick pot meat and the fat, glutinous and tender steamed meat, and the nine-steamed dish is filled with all kinds of varieties, which makes all the guests touch their bellies.

Bruni also hiccupped after eating, and noticed that Li Xiangrong didn't seem to have eaten much, so he whispered in surprise, "Uncomfortable? No appetite?"

Li Xiangrong shook his head, "Too much meat...It would be nice to have vegetables."

Sure enough, green vegetables and shiitake mushrooms, fried lettuce and fried kimchi were served, and a large bowl of rice and stewed vegetables was served. Li Xiangrong ate deliciously with the rice and vegetables.

The last table-pressing snack is sesame balls, which are chopped with honeydew melon strips, candied dates, and preserved peaches, mixed with brown sugar, white sugar, sesame seeds, and lard to make sugar fillings, chopped fat meat, mixed with eggs, and rolled with fried rice noodles The stuffing skin, wrapped with yin rice and steamed in a basket, is sweet, fragrant and oily. Buroni felt greasy after barely eating one, and quickly ate several mouthfuls of kimchi.

After eating a meal for more than two hours, the sun began to set, and the guests left one after another. Buroni, who was too stuffed, walked around the yard a few times, and worriedly asked Li Xiangrong what to do, I am afraid that he could not sit in the driver's seat down.

Li Xiangrong laughed at him as if he had never been to the countryside, and jumped at the meat when he saw it. Besides, you drank alcohol, so let's dissipate for a while, Buroni said helplessly, I have only eaten pork these days, but I have never seen pigs run.

At this time, several cars suddenly drove up to the gate and stopped. The door of the front car opened, and a middle-aged couple in their fifties and a tall young man walked out. Someone followed quickly, and Brony tilted his head. At first glance, isn't that Senior Zheng Hao?

Zheng Hao followed the couple into the yard, and the middle-aged man shouted loudly, "Ma'am, we're late, and we're here to wish you a happy birthday."

Grandma Xingzi recognized it, she was so excited that she burst into tears, she took small steps and quickly stepped forward to hold the couple's hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiangdong, Meijuan, you haven't been here for several years, I thought you were here this year I can’t come anymore, but I miss me, how is your father?”

Meijuan is a beautiful woman with an elegant temperament. She clung to the old man's hands and choked up, "Madam, Dad is in good spirits, but his body is too weak. We dare not let him board the plane."

Hearing this, the old man burst into tears, "I don't know how many years this old woman can live, I'm afraid I won't see my brother in this life..." Others hurriedly supported her and handed her the Rubbing the handkerchief on her back, she was afraid that she would be too sad.

Xiangdong and Meijuan helped her into the main room and sat down. The entourage brought out a pile of exquisite gifts from the car, and the guests who hadn't left stayed to watch the excitement, and there were many discussions.

Bu Langni shook his hand vigorously to Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao saw it and came over and asked why you are here, Bu Lang Ni said that we are here for the birthday banquet, you are late and the dinner is gone.

Zheng Hao smiled wryly and said, the flight of these two Taiwanese businessmen was delayed from yesterday to today, and they got off the plane and caught up in traffic jams. He helped to prepare those gifts, and they were pulled over to celebrate their birthdays.

Xingzi rushed over and greeted the imposing Zheng Hao shyly. When Bu Langni called her senior, she followed suit by addressing her as a senior. At the same time, she introduced the situation and said that the couple were grandma's nephew and nephew. My name is Uncle and Aunt Tang, and their father is also grandma’s eldest brother. He was a soldier of the Sichuan Army. When the expeditionary force went to Burma, his family thought he died. He returned to his hometown from Taiwan in the 45s. Everyone only knew that he went to Taiwan for [-] years. The old man is old and his legs and feet have been injured. He has not returned to the mainland for many years.

Zheng Hao added that the old man was struggling in Taiwan in the early years, and now his son is very competitive and capable of doing something for his hometown, but it is not uncommon for foreign capital to invest in the local area these years. After many contacts, the well-known company Zheng is very willing. Invite them to come over to discuss cooperation, and then we got together.

Ordinary family affairs are full of boundless years, and others can't help sighing and sighing when they hear it. The old lady cried and laughed again, and couldn't help crying again after laughing. Xingzi ran over worriedly and persuaded, "Grandma, uncle and aunt You haven't eaten yet, so stop talking."

The couple also wiped away their tears and said, "Ma'am, don't be sad, your health is the most important thing, we have to stay longer, and we have a lot to say."

The old lady kept ordering people to prepare food and drink. There were enough materials for the banquet, and there were still a lot of big fish and meat. Some people hurried to the kitchen. They're all vegetarians, so don't bother."

The old lady immediately asked someone to prepare vegetarian food, and called out to the guests to have tea and snacks.Several kinds of candied fruits and sweet and savory vegetarian dishes were placed in front of the couple, to fill their stomachs first.

One of the two chefs invited has already left, and the remaining one is really capable. Using the remaining ingredients, they quickly prepared a few rich-flavored stews. , Pick up the rice and start eating.

Zheng Hao ate rice with stewed meat soup, and laughed at himself saying that he was a servant today, and the food was pretty good.

The host and guest's vegetarian dishes were delayed, Xingzi rushed in and out, and Buroni couldn't help but stop her to ask.

Xingzi wiped her sweat and said, "There is only meat left in the house, and vegetables are only unwashed radishes and cabbage. The cook said to go to Manshuyuan to buy some vegetarian dishes and forget it, but I went to Manshuyuan only to find out that they have been renovating in the past few days. Well, the restaurant is closed!"

Li Xiangrong interjected, "The external restaurant of Manshu Courtyard is not open, and the big kitchen inside only serves one lunch. I am afraid that only senior brothers can cook alone."

Xingzi was about to cry, "How can I order the big brother's dishes? Now I can only ask the cook to do some simple things. Hey, Li Xiangrong, you are also a cook, can you help me? I think the cook is alone It’s really not the same.”

Li Xiangrong immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's go to the kitchen."

Bu Langni watched the thankful Xingzi pull Arong away, picked up the teapot and filled Zheng Hao's cup with tea, and teased, "Senior, image, image."

Zheng Hao loosened his tie indifferently, and said vaguely, "I've been hungry for a long time, and I'm scratching my head. I must prepare biscuits and chocolates in the car in the future. The traffic jam is too terrible."

Buroni said with a smile, "I have dry food in my car all year round. This is a sense of crisis."

Zheng Hao pulled the chopsticks and added another big

Shao Cai, "I was planning to entertain these two at your house, are you ready?"

Buroni said in surprise, "I didn't receive a call from your administrative department to order food? I'm planning to ask you soon."

Zheng Hao frowned, and stretched out his hand to invite an entourage to ask a few words in a low voice. The man said that he had already booked at the Jincheng Hotel.

Zheng Hao smiled awkwardly at Bu Langni, turned around to make a phone call, and said embarrassedly when he came back, "My mistake, the administration department didn't figure it out, just your house, the day after tomorrow, can you catch up?"

Buroni smiled heartily, "No problem! The day after tomorrow, I will leave room for the senior. How many people do you book?"

Zheng Hao looked around, "Well, with the addition of accompanying guests, let me make a table for 15 people. According to your standard of 1288 per person, Yanyi seats."

"Okay! No problem!" Buroni laughed a few times in his heart, thanked him lightly on the surface, and tentatively said, "Actually, Jincheng Hotel is also quite good, with a good reputation."

Zheng Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "They are all taken care of by someone. The food there is really ordinary and not worth the price. I still like your food."

Buroni suddenly thought of something, hesitantly said, "Didn't they just say they want to be vegetarian, the swallow's wing mat..."

Zheng Hao put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Oh, forget about it, then order the most expensive and best vegetarian seats."

Li Xiangrong washed his hands and went into the kitchen. The chef who was busy shouted angrily, "I'm busy! Don't rush!"

Xingzi sticks out her tongue secretly, walks past the sink and stove where the cups and plates are scattered, and calls sweetly and softly, "Master Lin, I will bring you a helper. There are so many guests today, it is really hard for you!"

Master Lin impatiently flipped the frying pan in his hand a few times, and the fragrant braised crispy pork came out of the pan. He said helplessly, "Where is the one from Manshuyuan? Have you bought it yet?"

Xingzi said, "They didn't open the door, so just make a few things now, Arong, if you see any materials that can be used, hurry up and use them."

Master Lin pointed to the radishes, cabbage and potatoes in the basket in the corner, "Hurry up and wash them, just those vegetables."

Arong buried her head in her work, and Xingzi asked curiously, "Master Lin, it's not difficult to make vegetarian dishes, right? Why are you so determined not to do it?"

Master Lin washed the pot, and said leisurely, "I have studied with Master for more than ten years, and I have made rice paddies countless times. I only know how to steam three times and nine times. Stir-fried vegetables and roasted tofu are easy to say, but I am really If you can't do it, don't be ashamed, the dishes this kid cooks have nothing to do with me, so you must be very clear, I will leave now."

Xingzi snorted disapprovingly, Li Xiangrong told her to go out to entertain the guests quickly, it was enough to do her own work here, then Master Lin packed things slowly, Shi Shiran went to say goodbye to the host.

Li Xiangrong was the only one left in the kitchen.

The sun was setting and the chill was getting deeper. The tables, chairs and benches in the yard had already been put back neatly. Except for two Taiwanese relatives and Zheng Hao, the only guests left were Bu Langni and Li Xiangrong. It would be interesting to come down and fight with Zheng Hao. Both of them have inherited the family business not long ago, and they feel the heavy burden on their shoulders. The more they chat, the more speculative they become.

Zheng Hao had a full stomach, held the fragrant jasmine tea, and said sincerely to Bulangni, "It's difficult, it's really difficult now, the land in the city is too expensive, and there are too many joints. How much do you think real estate can earn now? Fame It doesn’t sound good, and it’s dangerous to do things. The yamen changes a group of people every few years, and they are all waiting to share the meat and drink soup, black! I wanted to change something a long time ago, but it’s not easy.”

Buroni said with sympathy, "Senior, your family's development from mines to real estate is deeply rooted and flourishing. I am the one in dire straits, alas..."

Zheng Hao sighed, "No matter where, thanks to my uncle's hard work, they caught up with the good times a few years ago, and now the mine has been transferred out. There are too many dangers, and it is thankless. My father bought the land in Rongcheng more than 20 years ago. The industry has a relatively solid foundation, and now I can only live on my laurels."

Buroni exclaimed in his heart, no matter what he did, he had to follow the trend. Real estate in the 80s of the last century was not a commercial means at all. How thick is the foundation of the Zheng family?How wide is the doorway?He said casually, "Didn't the senior buy the Oriental Zoo? This project is a big deal."

Zheng Hao smiled lightly, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "It's nothing, I just like it."

Xingzi ran over to change the hot water bottle for them, and apologized, "Grandma and uncle and aunt are talking in the back room, and they didn't take care of greeting seniors and brothers, so don't take it to heart."

The little girl had a well-groomed and pleasing appearance, and her words were gentle and polite. Everyone could only smile at her. How could they say that the host's hospitality was not good.

Zheng Hao joked, "Don't think that your uncle and grandpa are great because he was an expeditionary force. My great grandfather was General Liu's chief of staff back then. If General Liu hadn't died in Chongqing later, he might have followed him to Taiwan."

Xingzi gave him an American military salute mischievously, "Then maybe my uncle and grandpa were sent to Burma by your uncle, fate!"

Buroni's heart suddenly brightened. What he said just now is deeply rooted and luxuriant. It's really good.

There was more admiration in his heart, and his tone became more affectionate, bluntly saying that he should get closer to the senior.Zheng Hao said with a smile, "No one has invited me to your house for dinner recently. Although there are many entertainments, there are not many good places to eat."

Bronney thought for a while, but still told the truth, "My family's business is in decline, and the banquets I used to host are not available now."

Zheng Hao nodded, "Is that because some relationship has not gone well?"

Buroni snorted angrily, "One died and another was replaced, that's all."

Zheng Hao let out a long sigh, and said clearly, "He is just pretending to be strong, and I heard that he has a big appetite. Fortunately, it has nothing to do with me."

Bu Langni said, "I'm not afraid of appetite alone. The problem is that he has been too close to Mr. Xu recently. Mr. Xu, the overseas Chinese who came to Bu's house with you for dinner wants to buy Bu's house. He seems to agree."

Zheng Hao put down the dish cup, rubbed his brows with his fingers, "So that's the case, then what are your plans, won't you just sell it like this?"

Buroni said angrily, "I would rather die than submit! I will not sell it!"

Zheng Hao nodded slightly, and asked as if thinking of something, "Is the Bu family unwilling to accept investment anyway? Or is it targeting his Xu family alone?"

Buroni was stunned, his heart beating violently, and the hot blood rushed to his limbs like a torrent, and he could even hear the violent surging sound exploding in his mind.

Bi Youyou's eyeballs deepened a bit, and he heard his hoarse voice whispering, "Investment? If it's pure investment, of course it's fine..."

Zheng Hao chuckled, "The tea is cold, let's add some hot one."

While talking, Li Xiangrong came over with a few oranges, saying that the dishes were finished and they were all sent to the back room, and the guests should start eating.

Buroni deliberately stayed for a while longer, and said, "What have you done? Why don't you ask the guests what they think?"

Li Xiangrong clasped the top of the orange with both hands and pulled it apart, divided the orange into three pieces including the skin, put it in front of Zheng Hao first, and said slowly, "I just made a few home-cooked dishes, wrapped them in Chinese cabbage leaves and steamed them." White jade bergamot; Potatoes, cabbage, and radish stewed in disorder; Salted vegetables and radishes are fried with peanuts; Cabbage and radish soup, that's all."

Buroni was a little worried, "This is too crude, isn't there any other materials?"

Li Xiangrong peeled another orange and put it in front of him, spread his hands together and said, "I can't help it, since they specified that it's vegan, that's all there is to it, there are a lot of other meats left."

"How does it taste?" Buroni asked.

"It should be okay. I have confidence in the steamed white jade bergamot. It is the signature dish of Manshuyuan. I have learned it. The cabbage and radish soup uses a little chili sauce to enhance the flavor. The radish stew in a pot is also unique. The other two dishes depend on the performance. It's gone." Li Xiangrong stuffed an orange into his mouth, and immediately wrinkled his face.

Zheng Hao clapped his hands and said, "Xiao Li made a move, there is nothing to worry about, hey, are these oranges sour?"

When night fell, Bu Langni, Li Xiangrong, and Zheng Hao bid farewell to Xingzi, Xingzi pulled Li Xiangrong to thank him, saying that his uncle and aunt were full of praise for the vegetarian dishes just now, but it’s a pity that today is too tired, and I have to talk with grandma, so it’s not easy to come face to face Thank you, I hope to have the opportunity to taste this chef's work again, Li Xiangrong smiled proudly and reservedly, pretending to be rude, today's materials are scarce and the performance is not good, Buroni smiled and endured have to work hard.

Zheng Hao saw that their young minds were bright and innocent, and he showed a faint wry smile.

He used to be so hearty and innocent, and he also knew people who were so hearty and innocent...

On the return journey, Li Xiangrong fell asleep in the backseat, nostalgic music wafted in the warm car, Buroni raised his eyes and occasionally glanced in the rearview mirror, with a soft smile on his lips.

The street lamps slide across the car like running water, one on and one off continuously, the sound of the wheels rolling over the road is inaudible by the closed windows, only the continuous lights serve as a reference for the car to move forward .

The light was crushed, the shadow was silent in the darkness behind, the car with good performance seemed to be floating in the air, Buroni almost let go of his mind, the sole of his foot was loosely pressed on the accelerator, and the steering wheel in his hand hardly turned. Occasionally, he shifted his thumb to a gear, turned on the signal light for overtaking, lightened his foot, turned his wrist, and the car returned to a state of constant speed, slipping away under the orange street lights.

It is a state of stillness in motion, a state of knowing that it is changing but feeling insensitive.

You can move forward quickly even if you don't walk step by step; it's not that you are moving forward, but you are driven by some kind of tool, and you can see stationary things retreat.

What ability can be changed by oneself?And what is it that you are eager to change?What else has changed you inadvertently but has not yet known it?

Buroni suddenly recalled a book he had read, which said that once a woman is hot, she can no longer stop, just like the flames that add fuel to the fire, and the man who lit the match also pretended not to know after burning...

What about men?Are women ignited by love, while men are only ignited by career?

Buroni softly called Li Xiangrong a few times, he suddenly wanted to talk about relationship issues, he had talked too much about his career in the afternoon, his heart had swollen with enthusiasm and passion, but now because of some indescribable atmosphere And throbbing slightly.

Not at all impatient, not ostentatious, not eager to express one's desire and yearning, not asking for the affirmation and admiration of others, it is best not to be noticed by anyone at all, just use a light, shy way, pretending that you don't care Posture, even if the other party doesn’t understand, it doesn’t matter, he’d better not understand it right away, he needs to think for a long time, put his own words in his heart for a long time to ponder over and over again to get some insights, so such a conversation should be as obscure as a code word, requiring some Step-by-step hints require special eyes and smiles as condiments, simmered slowly and carefully, like a pot of old soup that contains countless essences, but it looks clear, transparent, colorless and tasteless.

Buroni thought in a trance, this is a relatively ideal emotional state, except for the chef and the diners, no third person can understand how rich and delicious it is, and how many talents and treasures are needed for the perfect fusion. This one, there is no more.

Bu Langni's whim to the banquet this time bumped into unexpected good luck. Zheng Hao's reservation of the banquet was almost a timely help for the Bu family. Leaving aside the pure profit meaning, it at least showed that Zheng Hao as an enterprise An attitude of home.

The Yamen has a special Taiwan Affairs Office responsible for the reception of Taiwanese businessmen. In the past, the Bu family was appointed internally, but now it is changed to the Jincheng Hotel. Although monopoly means corruption, Zheng Hao used a little self-willedness to affirm the strength of the Bu family. However, Lonnie was still deeply moved.

Since the guest ordered a vegetarian meal, Li Xiangrong immediately felt a heavy responsibility. The kitchen prepared a counter and a refrigerator for him to completely separate it from meaty ingredients. However, under the strict isolation system, it is difficult for others to help him helped.

On the second day after returning from the birthday banquet, Bu Langni sensed that the situation was even worse from his father's deeply furrowed brows. Although there was a worse one behind every bad situation, people's ability to bear was limited after all. For the sake of the land, the Bu family All the funds have been exhausted, and the shrinking business shows increasingly clear decline on the books. The Bu family is a river that is gradually drying up. If it doesn't wait for the rain, it will only stop flowing.

At present, the domestic economy is being affected by the follow-up of the global financial turmoil, and the downward trend of foreign trade exports has gradually spread and penetrated to all walks of life in various regions of the country.The stock market is cold and bleak, the real estate market is deformed and bubbles, a large number of foreign trade processing enterprises have stopped production and production, the prices are inflated, and the sense of crisis in life suddenly comes. Government agencies, enterprises and institutions are all tightening their expenditures and reducing costs.

The cold winter of the catering industry has also officially arrived. Whether it is Bujia or other high-end restaurants, business is declining day by day. Many restaurants have begun to carry out special promotions, discounts, coupons and other promotional activities on a large scale, and even began to promote alcoholic beverages. Supermarket prices.They expect to attract more consumers by lowering the consumption threshold through these methods.

There are also people who find another way and deliberately raise the price in order to sensationalize the public, but the glory is only for a while.

The most fundamental reason for the Bu family to reject Mr. Xu is that they do not agree with each other. The Bu family has no intention of going out into the world. It is not because they do not have the confidence, but because they do not have the ambition. The diametrically opposed personalities cannot make a good marriage. Find the right investor.

Just like a squeamish young lady whose family is down, choosing a husband and son-in-law still needs to be of the same family.

Hearing that Mr. Xu is not in Rongcheng for the past few days, Bu Wei was slightly relieved. He secretly fully relied on his friends and resources, and did a lot of research to find local companies or individuals that might become investors, focusing on circled a few After in-depth consideration, he thought it necessary to let his son be the main person in charge of this matter. Buroni took a lot of materials to do his homework, and he just worked as a consultant behind the scenes.

The management measures in the kitchen have also been adjusted, such as energy saving and consumption reduction, quantitative assessment, cleaning and purchasing of ingredients, and inventory limitation and updating. Every chef is instructed to control the cost of raw materials and improve the utilization of raw materials. Under such circumstances , Master Li Xiangrong made the vegetarian banquet and even bought it all by himself.

Li Xiangrong looked at the two red banknotes in his hand and smiled wryly. The current cost calculation is in charge of the deputy chef Anton. There are so many, you just go to the market to choose carefully, and you have to pay a lot of fees at the end of the month, it is really difficult to fund...

Li Xiangrong touched the wallet in his trouser pocket, sighed and decided to go to the market first. Yesterday he discussed the recipe with Buroni, but he had to make adjustments according to the condition of the ingredients.

As night fell, Zheng Hao and his group came to the Xirou Hall of the Bujia on time, and made a bow to Dong Meijuan and his wife. There were also a few accompanying guests, and Xingzi, who was just eating dinner, sat at the nearest position to the door, looking at the other side with great interest. The walls are all made of carved wooden windows, and the lanterns are graceful in the night, which is very special.

The six cold dishes are all beautifully made with ordinary materials and relying on exquisite knife skills. The guests will feast on their eyes first. The first dish is crab roe and shark fin with rich soup, followed by sweet and smooth hydrangea jelly, which is bold and unrestrained. Thick and heavy, wait for everyone to realize that what they eat are only vegetarian dishes such as vermicelli and shredded radish, and they feel that the chef is ingenious and skillful.

Xingzi's uncle and aunt learned that today's chef was the chef of the family dinner the day before yesterday, and she couldn't help being amazed. The meal in the country is full of simple and natural flavors, but at this moment, in the abode, is there any dish that is not elegant and gorgeous?

Three delicacies fish maw, raw fried sea cucumber, osmanthus scallops, coral vegetarian chicken, crystal duck side, white fungus sweet soup, everything is exquisite and delicious. Buroni is very satisfied with the intoxicated expressions of everyone, and can't help showing A smug smile.

This Li Xiangrong really didn't let me down. Although there were two dishes that seemed to be different from what was discussed last night, they tasted very good. Buroni thought it was just Ah Rong's flexible use of ingredients.

Zheng Hao whispered to Buroni, "Very well, the couple are smiling after eating, and they are motivated to continue talking about things tomorrow."

Buroni suppressed a smile, "Then why don't you come to eat tomorrow?" He added casually, "Ah Rong will still have a lot of dishes, and today it's not a big deal."

After drinking and eating, the guest proposed to thank the chef in person, and Buroni hurriedly asked someone to call, but it was Anton with a smile on his face.

Anton rubbed his hands and bowed again and again, asking everyone how the meal was. Xiangdong and Meijuan were full of praise, and Xingzi muttered in a low voice, "I thought Li Xiangrong made these."

Of course Buroni knew who made these dishes, so he glared at Anton with restrained displeasure. Anton twitched the corner of his mouth awkwardly, walked over and whispered into Buroni's ear, "Ah Rong doesn't want to come, I insist came."

Buroni raised his eyebrows, Arong didn't seem like a stage fright person, it was a bit strange, he waved his hand to signal Anton to step back, and greeted everyone absent-mindedly.

Zheng Hao patted him on the shoulder and said, "I've been too busy these days, I have time to talk in detail. The Zheng family has some spare money and is looking for a good investment project." He spoke slowly and deeply, with sharp eyes Staring deeply into Bu Lang Ni's eyes, Bu Lang Ni froze and nodded solemnly to him.

After seeing off the guests, Bronney went to the kitchen, today there was only one plain table, the lights in the kitchen were only half turned on, and Feng Yifan often skipped work recently, the atmosphere was even more deserted.

I saw He Zhishan and Li Xiangrong talking at the door, Buroni was a little surprised, the relationship between He Zhishan and Li Xiangrong didn't seem to be so good, besides, he was busy with his own affairs all the time.

He Zhishan raised his head and said, "Lonnie, come and eat."

Li Xiangrong pointed to the soup pot and said, "The next noodles, do you want it?"

Buroni nodded and said yes, Li Xiangrong grabbed a handful of Longxu noodles and threw them into the boiling soup, threw in a few chopped green onions, and tore off a few Chinese cabbage leaves and put them in.

Bruni asked, "Just now the guest wanted to thank the chef, why did you ask Anton to go?"

Li Xiangrong's eyes widened, "When? Why don't I know?"

Broniteng stood up and said angrily, "I'll explain it to him!" Then he took out his phone and dug out the address book.

He Zhishan blocked it with his hand, and said casually, "I asked An Dong to go, Xiao Li didn't know."

Buroni held back his anger and said, "I want to see the chef. The dishes are made by Arong. What does it mean that your name is Anton?"

He Zhishan said, "Li Xiangrong almost messed up a dish. At that time, his state was not suitable for receiving compliments."

Buroni said unconvinced, "That shouldn't be someone else's impostor! What went wrong? Aren't they all good?"

Li Xiangrong said dejectedly, "If Senior Brother He hadn't helped me fix it, it would have been really bad, and the most valuable materials would have been ruined."

Bronney said, "How much is a table of gluten-free tofu worth? What's going on?"

"The sweet-scented osmanthus scallops were supposed to be shredded with water-made yuba. I was worried that the yuba would have a beany smell, so I replaced the mushrooms as raw materials..." Li Xiangrong explained, "Imitate it into scallops, add sugared osmanthus and stir-fry until cooked. The minced Shangsu ham looks golden in color and soft in texture..."

Buroni said impatiently, "The food is pretty good, but how expensive are mushrooms?"

"That's a very expensive wild mushroom. It costs more than 80 yuan a catty." Li Xiangrong rummaged through his pockets. "It's only 200 yuan for vegetables. This dish is worth half a table."

Buroni frowned, "Is this table worth 200 yuan?"

Li Xiangrong bent his neck heavily, "I have no experience with this mushroom. I almost raked it all up during the soup. Fortunately, Senior Brother He helped me, otherwise it would have been wasted."

Buroni suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly. He slapped his thighs and crackled, almost out of breath from laughing. Li Xiangrong and He Zhishan looked at him suddenly and felt a chill in the back of his head.

"You guys! I seem to have forgotten to tell you," Buroni's face turned red, his eyes sparkling green, "I charged them 300 yuan per person for this table, and 3000 yuan for ten people! I thought this was a history of the Bu family. The cheapest table meal ever, did not expect it to be only 200 yuan?!"

"This profit margin, I like it so much!" Buroni pushed away the noodle bowl, strode over and hugged Li Xiangrong, and pressed him into his arms, "Ah Rong! Good job! That's how it should be manage!"

"Guoyu. Chuyu" said: "Common people eat vegetables and sacrifice fish." ——In ancient times, common people generally ate vegetables as their main food, and fish could only be eaten during sacrifices.

Buroni took notes seriously with a pen. The projection in front of the classroom was a bit blurry, the lecturer's voice was not loud enough, and the surrounding students chatted and laughed quietly. The classroom environment was not very good.

Anyway, it’s time to listen to class again, so I’ll pick the key points and memorize a few sentences. After class, Lonnie picks up his notes and leaves. His tall and straight back is very chic. A girl asked loudly, “Who is that handsome foreign guy?”

Others immediately replied, "The department of food science is a grassroots student who spends time taking classes everywhere, how can you not know him?"

"An ordinary person learns what everyone thinks he should learn, and a great man only learns what he wants to learn~" Another person looked into the distance and said, "He is really a very special person..."

Buroni excitedly rushed to the next class on financial management. He recited today's schedule in his mind, which made him very motivated.

He Zhishan handed the proposed vegetarian banquet recipe to Bu Wei and Lu Yong. The name of the dish, ingredients, simple recipes and cost calculations were indicated on the thin pages. After reading it, Bu Wei asked, "What is there?" Half of them are vegetarian dishes originally recorded by the Bu family, and the other half are more common, did Xiao Li discuss it with you?"

He Zhishan nodded, "The Bu family doesn't have too many vegetarian dishes, I sorted them out, Xingming and I
