Words must die [Comprehensive martial arts]

Everything is afraid of comparison.

For example, Gu Shenyan has completely different attitudes towards Hua and Jin.

Another example is Baozi's little emotions that he thinks are well concealed and will not be seen by others.

Baozi's dislike for Jin Jiuling was not obvious, but when facing Lu Xiaofeng and the others, he would subconsciously avoid Jin Jiuling, unwilling to have any eye contact with him.

In the eyes of other people, this move might be interpreted as a sign that the young man is timid and not good at dealing with people like Jin Jiuling who exude extravagance.

But Gu Shenyan is very aware of his little boy's temperament.

Baozi is like a little hedgehog just out of the hole.

While full of curiosity about the outside world, he will subconsciously erect his thorns to avoid being hurt.

His thorns are very soft, they won't hurt anyone, and they can't provide much protection. They are more for seeking a sense of psychological security.

Only when the other party's words and deeds make him feel uncomfortable, he will make this kind of behavior similar to 'avoidance'.

Gu Shenyan defended himself.

His little guy was wronged by Jin Jiuling, so he, the boss, naturally had to help him make up for it.

As for the measure, Gu Shenyan had a rough idea.

Jin Jiuling, judging from his attire, is a typical person who values ​​material conditions.

He even dressed more elegantly than Hua Manlou.

From the hair crown to the shoes, there is a sense of trench everywhere.

Against his backdrop, the Huamanlou on the side looked plain.

People with such a strong material desire are often somewhat snobbish.

Gu Shenyan guessed that Jin Jiuling's attitude was too arrogant just now, which hurt Baozi's self-esteem.

So he retaliated by way of saving the other party's face.

Everyone is fair and just to each other.

"..."

The stunned expression was fleeting, and Jin Jiuling quickly returned to his smiling face, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened, dissolving the embarrassment at the moment.

"In the past, we used to treat Lu Xiaofeng to drink, but this time it is rare for him to treat guests, we have to open our stomachs and eat more later... Boss Gu, don't just give him a discount for the sake of your friend, it's best to squeeze him out purse, haha!"

"Hey, what you said makes it seem like I'm usually stingy."

Lu Xiaofeng glared at Jin Jiuling pretending to be ashamed, then decisively took out the money bag and threw it on the table.

The purse was bulging and seemed to hold a lot of weight.

"Eat, you just let go and eat! If I can squeeze out this purse, I will lose!"

Tie Shou couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that Brother Lu is already ready for a hemorrhage."

"It's a pity." Hua Manlou clenched his fists and covered his lips with a smile, jokingly said, "I thought I could see you selling yourself to pay off the debt."

Lu Xiaofeng wants to cry but has no tears.

What kind of friends did he make!

Why does everyone take pleasure in bullying him?Interesting? !

Well, it's really interesting.

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng's funny bitter face because of the 'four eyebrows', the corners of Gu Shenyan's mouth curled up slightly.

He picked up the purse on the table, opened it and took a look.

"There are about 200 taels here."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, with a smug expression on his face: "That's right, it's 210 three taels in total, with this money, even in Linjiang Tower, it can fill a table of the best banquet!"

Gu Shenyan smiled more and more gently.

"That's good." He beckoned, called Baozi to his side, and then ordered: "Come and tell the guests about our family's fees."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

Suddenly there is an ominous premonition!

Baozi silently took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

A piece of paper with densely packed writing that can be seen from the back.

He glanced at Lu Xiaofeng with some sympathy, then cleared his throat, and read eloquently: "The main dishes of our restaurant today are as follows, there are squirrel mandarin fish, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised prawns, sea cucumber, white grilled four treasures, first-grade tofu oil Sprinkle bean curd with ginkgo, and the soup includes... dessert..."

Lu Xiaofeng was dizzy and even had hallucinations before his eyes.

He seemed to see all the silver in his purse fly away with wings.

"... For the above, the standard charge is 250 taels. Because of the 210% discount for opening, the actual charge is [-] taels!"

Hearing the final offer, Lu Xiaofeng instantly petrified.

like a soul out of body

His eyes were glazed over, and he was dumbfounded.

"I'll give you a change." Gu Shenyan thoughtfully took out a tael of silver from his purse, and stuffed it into Lu Xiaofeng's arms: "Keep it as travel expenses, in case you don't have money to go back to the city in a carriage."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

Are you the devil?

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence!

Not too much, not too little, just on the verge of being able to squeeze him dry? !

Gu Shenyan smiled slightly.

Then, under Lu Xiaofeng's unbelievable gaze, he slowly and gracefully put the purse into his arms.

"It's getting late, Gu is going to the kitchen to prepare meals for you."

"Baozi, help me entertain my guests."

"Yes! Boss, don't worry!"

"..."

Jin Jiuling and others who were also shocked by the quotation just now gradually came to their senses and expressed sympathy to Lu Xiaofeng one after another.

Although Lu Xiaofeng might not want this kind of sympathy.

Hua Manlou raised his hand and patted Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder, and comforted him, "Since Boss Gu's cooking skills are better than Linjiang Restaurant, the charges are of course higher than Linjiang Restaurant."

Some?

This word seems to be inappropriate.

The banquet at Linjiang Tower, which charges 30 yuan, has more than [-] dishes!

Calculated, the charges here are almost twice as expensive as Linjiang Tower.

But Lu Xiaofeng understood what Hua Manlou meant by these words.

It doesn't matter if it's more expensive, as long as it's worth it.

He wiped his face and couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I don't feel sorry for this little money, I just wonder how he just happened to be able to report the number of 210 two in the end. It's such a coincidence."

Coincidentally, he couldn't help but wonder if Gu Shenyan had predicted in advance how much money he would bring.

Simply divine.

"Maybe Boss Gu can pinch and count, is he the legendary half-immortal?"

Jin Jiuling smiled and said, "However, this makes me look forward to his cooking skills even more."

This time Jin Jiuling spoke the truth.

A table of meals worth more than 200 taels of silver, I don't know how "amazing" the taste should be.

The same goes for the rest of the people.

While Lu Xiaofeng and the others were chatting, in the kitchen, Gu Shenyan was processing the ingredients in an orderly manner.

All the seasonal vegetables in his store are ordered one day in advance, picked from the field the next morning, and delivered quickly to ensure absolute freshness.

Fish, shrimp, raw poultry and the like can be prepared a few days in advance.

It does however take some care and care to make sure the 'ingredients' are still alive before cooking.

It's just that it takes more effort to process these fresh 'ingredients'.

As a cook, what Gu Shenyan lacked most was patience.

He first prepared the necessary seasonings such as onion, ginger and garlic, and then processed the ingredients for the first three dishes in the order of serving.

The first dish is oil-splashed beancurd. This dish is simple to make, but it is best as an appetizer.

Heat up the pan, add oil, add pepper and other big ingredients, fry until fragrant, then remove, then use a special colander to hold the mung bean sprouts with the head and tail removed, and put them on the side of the pot. Repeatedly pour the oil several times until the bean sprouts change color and are completely absorbed Spices to taste, then drain the oil.

Finally, add salt and stir well, then serve on a plate.

It only took Gu Shenyan a few minutes to finish this dish.

Then he casually knocked on the brass bell hanging by the table, notifying Baozi to come and serve the dishes, and then continued to concentrate on cooking the second dish.

Lu Xiaofeng and the others originally planned to wait until all the dishes were served before using their chopsticks.

But as soon as the third dish was brought to the table, the few people whose appetites were whetted by the aroma couldn't bear it any longer.

It smells so good.

The appearance is also super attractive.

I want to eat, I really want to eat...

What are you waiting for?Just eat it!

Lu Xiaofeng licked his lips, and was the first to pick up the chopsticks decisively: "Come and eat, everyone is old acquaintances, there is nothing to be polite—"

At the same time as the words fell to the ground, he had already picked up the Four Treasures of Bai Pa and stuffed them into his mouth impatiently.

"—!!"

The chicken breast with the ribs and skin removed is cut into thin slices as thick as copper coins. After being marinated with egg white and starch, the taste is extremely smooth and tender, as if it melts in the mouth, but when you bite it, you can feel a sense of appropriateness. The elasticity of the chicken is also combined with the fresh aroma of abalone and cantonese belly. The right amount of salt makes this delicious taste released to the greatest extent, and the taste is simply wonderful.

So delicious!

Before he swallowed the food in his mouth, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help picking up another piece of chicken breast.

Huamanlou is a native of the south of the Yangtze River, and his taste is light, so the first thing he tasted was the plate of bean curd.

The outer layer of the white bean octopus is covered with a faint peppery smell, and it seems that you can hear a crisp sound when you bite it down. Immediately afterwards, the original fragrance of the bean octopus neutralizes the initial peppery numbness, bringing The sweet juice slowly flows down from the tip of the tongue, leaving a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, with endless aftertaste.

Tie Shou has no preference in terms of taste, so he chose the nearest portion of sea cucumber with green onions to serve with his chopsticks.

The color of this dish is not bright from the outside, except for the main ingredient sea cucumber, there is only a ring of white and green scallions for decoration, but its taste is not monotonous, the entrance is first with a strong fragrance of scallions, and then the sea cucumber The original freshness, the soup is also mixed with the taste of chicken, pork, and ham. The taste is soft and glutinous, with distinct layers, making it unforgettable.

Jin Jiuling silently snatched the last abalone from under Lu Xiaofeng's chopsticks.

He felt that he needed to ask Boss Gu if he had any intention of opening a shop in Kyoto later.

Where in the south of the Yangtze River is Kyoto.

In terms of various conditions, it must be that the capital under the emperor's feet is even better!

With such culinary skills, it won't take long for Boss Gu to become famous all over the world, be sought after by countless dignitaries, and reach the pinnacle of his life after opening a restaurant in Kyoto.
