Chinese chef

78 Water lotus tofu

Haigu Sashimi Shop.

Haigu Zhita sat on the chair, put his hands on the table and kept tapping on the table, with an expression of anger and depression on his face.

He didn't expect Zheng Jingshen to really breach the contract.

And the tone was so tough that he didn't leave any room for it.

Soichiro Kaitani also sat on the chair in a daze, scratching his forehead with his hands constantly.

He didn't know how to explain to his father what happened this time.

His father Haigu Heisuke and Zheng Jingshen were friends. As Zheng Jingshen said, when they came to China to open a shop, Zheng Jingshen helped him only because of his father Haigu Heisuke's face.

Now that things have turned out like this, he must be scolded by his father.

Hey, I should have known, after learning about what my son did yesterday, I should have dragged my son to apologize to Mu Feng.

It's useless to regret now!

Zheng Jingshen's attitude is so tough...

Just when Haigu and his son were full of thoughts, a girl who seemed to be in her 20s walked in with a bag.

The waiter didn't go up to greet someone when he saw someone coming in, and they all sat on the chairs one by one.

They had already guessed from what Haigu and his son said when they called on the phone just now that the store was going to close.

Now, they are thinking about how to settle the wages with Haigu and his son, so they are not in the mood to manage the guests.

After the girl entered the store, she walked straight up to Haigu Zhitai, dumped the bag on the table, and bundles of blue 50-yuan RMB fell on the table.

The waiters looked up, and after a rough look, there should be about ten bundles of banknotes.

It's just that they have never seen so many 50 yuan.

Now, digital currency is basically used in daily life.

Don't say that you haven't seen so many 50 yuan, even so many [-] yuan are rare on weekdays.

The current money is just a line of numbers on the payment software.

----

Haigu Zhitai looked at the 50-yuan renminbi in front of him, and looked up at the people with some doubts and speechless.

"Li Li, what are you doing?" Haigu Zhitai looked at the visitor speechlessly and said.

That's right, the young girl who just came into the tattoo shop was Li Li.

After Li Li came out of Mo Yinqi's house, she went to the bank and took 5 yuan in cash from the bank counter.

Then, he came to Haigu Zhitai with the cash.

The face value of 50 yuan was specially given to the bank staff by her.

If it weren't for the need to make an appointment first to take currency with a smaller denomination, she would also like to exchange all 5 yuan for ten yuan or even one yuan.

"This is 5 yuan, I'll give it all back to you!" Li Li said.

Although this is a bit childish, she feels that it is more imposing.

Returning the money to Haigu Zhita in this way felt a joy.

Of course, it would be even better if they were all one-dollar coins.

"Are you crazy?" Hai Guzhi looked at her strangely.

"I won't take any money that I shouldn't take!" Li Li said coldly.

In fact, she regretted it to death now, Mo Yinqi treated her very well on weekdays, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she regarded her as a younger sister.

However, now she can no longer be by Mo Yinqi's side.

Just because of the 5 yuan, just because of her momentary greed!

"So, you are here to return it to me?" Hai Gu Zhi looked at her strangely.

"Yes, 5 yuan is not a lot, and it's all here! Take some points." Li Li said.

"Why?" Haigu Shita asked.

"As I said just now, I don't want any of the money I don't deserve!" Li Li said firmly.

Hai Guzhi stared at her blankly, and after a while, smiled disdainfully: "Stupid!"

"You!" Li Li glared at him, wanting to say something, but Haigu Zhitai had already waved her hand, as if chasing away a beggar, "Okay, okay, let's go!"

Li Li immediately became angry, saw a glass of water on the table, picked up the glass and poured it on Haigu Zhitai's face.

Immediately, a smell of alcohol spread out.

The watery liquid turned out to be wine.

Haigu Zhitai was splashed with wine all over his face, and stood up in a jerk.

"You, Baga!" Hai Guzhi was furious.

He scolded, but he still didn't let go of his anger, and actually reached out to hit Li Li.

The waiter at the back saw it, and one of the boys was agile, and immediately stepped forward, hugged Haigu Zhita, and embraced Haigu Zhita's hands together.

"Baga!" Haigu Zhita twisted his body vigorously, trying to break free from the waiter's hand.

Li Li was a little frightened, and subconsciously took a few steps back, but her eyes were still fixed on Haigu Zhita.

"Shita! Sit down! Why are you crazy?" Soichiro Haigu shouted angrily.

He spoke Japanese, but his emotions transcended language, and everyone present could clearly guess that he was scolding Haigu Shita.

Haigu Zhitai was overwhelmed by this angry shout, looked back at his father, and then lowered his head resentfully.

However, although he stopped struggling, the waiter was still worried and didn't let go of his hand immediately.

Li Li glared at Haigu Zhita fiercely, then walked up to him, and stepped on his foot hard.

Haigu Shita suddenly felt a sharp pain from his feet, and his eyes were wide open.

He wanted to break free again, cursing and swearing non-stop, speaking a series of Japanese that he didn't know the meaning of.

Fortunately, the waiter had already prepared and used the dark energy in his hand in advance, so he didn't let him break free.

This time, Li Li was mentally prepared, glared at him, and then quickly ran out of the tattoo shop.

After Li Li went out, Haigu Zhitai couldn't help but struggle and yell.

Soichiro Haigu walked up to him quickly, glared at him, and shouted in Japanese: "Shut up!"

Haigu Zhitai didn't dare to confront his father, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

......

After Li Li left Haigu Sashimi Shop, she felt very comfortable.

In fact, since she took the 5 yuan, she has been thinking about it for the past two days, and she has not been completely relaxed for a moment.

In the final analysis, she is not the kind of person who is really ungrateful for profit.

However, for a poor student who has just graduated from university, the temptation of 5 yuan is too great.

So, when Hai Gu Zhita found her, although she was worried for a long time, she was finally persuaded by Hai Gu Zhita.

Moreover, as she said, at the time she thought it would have no effect on Mo Yinqi, so she did it.

It's just that she thought a little bit worse, she didn't think that she belonged to Mo Yinqi, and outsiders would think that her actions were ordered by Mo Yinqi.

After she took a deep breath, she felt very relaxed.

However, after a while, when this relaxed mood passed, she remembered that she would never be able to be by Mo Yinqi's side again.

He also remembered the bits and pieces of Mo Yinqi's side before.

Thinking of how Mo Yinqi stayed at home with her without pretensions, watching movies, eating takeaway, and reciting lines...

Then, the eyes turned red involuntarily.

Tears fell uncontrollably.

Haigu Sashimi Shop is located in the city square, surrounded by various shops.

Pedestrians looked at her strangely.

She covered her mouth, trying not to cry out, and hurried to the bathroom.

She went into the bathroom, hid in the toilet, and closed the door, as if she had come to a strong fortress.

Then, the tears could no longer be held back.

She sat on the toilet and cried for a long time...

----

After Zheng Jingshen finished dealing with Hai Gu and his son, he called Mu Feng to explain everything clearly.

Mo Yinqi also got Mu Feng's cell phone number from Zheng Jingshen and called.

It's also interesting to say that when she saw Mu Feng that day, she looked like a fan girl, and she was so excited that she forgot to leave a contact information with Mu Feng.

After Mo Yinqi called Mu Feng, she told the whole story again, and solemnly apologized to Mu Feng, hoping that Mu Feng would not blame Li Li.

At the same time, she also said that if Mu Feng needs it, she can make compensation, or help spread rumors.

Because Zheng Jingshen had already ordered the Haigu Sashimi Shop to move out within three days, and the impact of this incident on Mu Feng was actually not that great, seeing Mo Yinqi's sincere attitude, Mu Feng naturally no longer pursued it.

In fact, Mu Feng's strength is obvious to all, and it is unlikely that there will be any major negative impact just because of this video.

Food, after all, depends on the taste. Knife skills are only auxiliary, but not the key to determine the taste.

Diners will not blindly think that Mufeng's dishes are not good just because Mufeng's knife skills are not good.

Besides, many people have seen Mu Feng's outstanding sword skills in Su Ji with their own eyes.

Strength is like pregnancy, you can't hide it even if you want to hide it after a long time.

Therefore, this matter will definitely stop within a few days.

However, Mu Feng didn't want people on the Internet to spread it randomly, so he recorded a small video showing the knife skills.

The content of the video is very simple, that is, Mu Feng carved a lotus flower with a piece of tofu in the water with a knife.

After recording, Mu Feng posted the video to the official accounts of Zhonghualou and Suji.

Dong Ning already followed Su Ji, and when she saw Mu Feng posted this video, she immediately called and asked Mu Feng to send the video to her, saying that she would also like to post the official account.

Dong Ning is worthy of writing food articles, and he is good at using metaphors and exaggerations. This article introducing Mu Feng's knife skills was written, and Mu Feng felt as if he was shining like gold after reading it.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Yinqi also saw this video from the official account of Zhonghualou, and immediately forwarded it to Weibo.

Although she is a third-tier star, she still has a lot of fans.

In this way, the fans of Zhonghua Lou and Su Ji, plus the fans of Dong Ning and Mo Yinqi, so many people spread the word together.

This video already has a fan base for large-scale dissemination, and soon, other official accounts also began to repost this video.

Then, many official accounts that were still ridiculing Mu Feng changed their faces in an instant, and filled the sky with beautiful words.

Netizens were amazed after seeing the video.

——Lotus in the water!There is no one with this sword skill!Those who said that Mu Feng's sword skills are not good have been slapped in the face, right?Hahaha!

——Fuck, I can actually carve lotus flowers out of tofu, it’s amazing!

——I said that Mu Feng's sword skills couldn't be that bad, it must be because he was in a bad state that day, and even that video might be fake!

—Damn, now it seems that Soichiro Kaitani is really shameless!

......

There are overwhelming comments on the Internet, many praise Mu Feng, some think Mu Feng is grandstanding, and some even call for a boycott of Haigu Sashimi Shop, in short, there are all kinds of voices, and there should be something.

However, the only thing that is certain is that no one questioned Mu Feng's sword skills anymore.

Afterwards, what Mu Feng didn't expect was that Li Li, Mo Yinqi's assistant, came to apologize to Mu Feng.

To be honest, Mu Feng was a little surprised, because Mo Yinqi had already expressed her attitude when she called that day, and she was going to take this matter down.

Therefore, Mu Feng was quite surprised that Li Li would come to apologize.

Now that the matter has been resolved, Mu Feng and Zhonghua Lou have not been affected in any way, and he has already told Mo Yinqi that he will not pursue this matter, so he also accepted Li Li's apology.

This time things passed like this.

----

Zhonghua Building.

Shi Nancheng was patrolling the hall on the first floor when suddenly the cell phone in his pocket rang.

Shi Nancheng took out his phone and looked, it was his aunt Yu Lanxin.

"Auntie, what do you need from me?" Shi Nancheng said after answering the phone.

"Nan Cheng, can Mu Feng make authentic Shaanxi Eight Great Steamed Bowls?" Yu Lanxin asked.

"Well, I have to ask. This steamed bowl dish is rarely made, but the recipe should be similar to other dishes. Auntie, why do you suddenly want to eat steamed bowls?" Shi Nancheng asked with a smile.

"It's not that I want to eat it, it's that my guests want to eat it. They are Singaporeans. They said that when they came to China a few years ago, they went to Xi'an by chance and ate the eight steamed bowls there, and they never forgot it. So, I I just want to invite them to eat the Eight Great Steamed Bowls again." Yu Lanxin said.

Shi Nancheng's aunt, Yu Lanxin, is a strong woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She was originally in the clothing trade. After Shi Nancheng's parents passed away, she handed over the management of the clothing company to her husband, and she herself took on the burden of Zhonghualou.

It's just that, with the interlacing like a mountain, and the secret obstruction of Fuxing Restaurant, Yu Lanxin can only maintain the Zhonghua Restaurant at the level of the common people's restaurant.

For more than ten years, she also wanted to make a breakthrough, but she never hired enough chefs, so Zhonghualou could only hover in the position of a third-rate restaurant.

It wasn't until more than a year ago, when Shi Nancheng came back to take over Zhonghualou, that she completely let go and went back to run the clothing company.

Yu Lanxin's clothing company is quite large and has many clients.

Every time she receives guests, Yu Lanxin will bring the guests to the Zhonghua Building unless the guests specifically request to eat other dishes.

This time, the guest asked to eat authentic Shaanxi Bada steamed bowls. She originally wanted to find a restaurant that serves authentic Shaanxi dishes.

After thinking about it, Mu Feng is so powerful, maybe he can also make these eight steaming bowls.

So, she specifically called Shi Nancheng to inquire.

"Okay, then I'll ask Mu Feng now, and I'll call you later." Shi Nancheng said.

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and called Mu Feng.

----

Mu Feng is now commuting between Zhonghua Building and Suji every day, and he is extremely busy.

Since the turmoil caused by Haigu and his son has passed, the business of Zhonghualou is better than before.

His knife skill of [Carving Lotus Tofu in Water] has attracted the attention of many people on the Internet.

Now every time someone comes to Zhonghualou for dinner, they have to ask a few questions, wanting to see this amazing craftsmanship with their own eyes.

Naturally, Mu Feng couldn't really perform it for every guest, so Shi Nancheng simply asked someone to put the video on the TV in the hall and private room, so that every guest who came to eat could watch it.

Although the guests did not watch it with their own eyes, it was better than nothing.

Mu Feng has been researching steamed vegetables recently, wondering if it is because he thinks about it day by day and dreams about it at night.

Recently, he dreamed that he was cooking almost every night when he went to sleep, and most of them were steamed dishes.

Practicing during the day and dreaming at night is also practicing, so his technique of steaming vegetables has made great progress, and there are faint signs of a breakthrough.

Today, Mu Feng is going to try a new steamed dish - [Steamed Cod with Mushrooms].

Just as he prepared all the ingredients and was about to start cooking, he received a call from Shi Nancheng.

"Shaanxi Eight Great Steaming Bowls?" After listening to Shi Nancheng's words, Mu Feng thought for a while and said, "This Shaanxi Eight Great Steaming Bowls is not difficult to make. It should be no problem for me to research. When will Aunt Lan come over?"

"I'll ask her, and I'll tell you later. You should study it carefully first, I guess it should be these few days." Shi Nancheng said.

"Okay." Mu Feng nodded and hung up the phone.

Then, he began to look up the specific dishes in the Eight Great Steamed Bowls in Shaanxi on the Internet.

There are steaming bowls all over the country. There are many methods and categories of steaming bowls, and the finished products are also completely different, and they are not exclusive to a certain cuisine.

Generally, it is based on local characteristics. The more famous ones are: Jinan steamed bowl, Beijing steamed bowl, Taiyuan steamed bowl, Shaanxi steamed bowl, etc.

The steaming bowls in these places have their own characteristics and flavors.

Shaanxi Eight Great Steamed Bowls is a famous dish in Shaanxi. There are eight dishes in total, namely [Steamed Bowl with Yellow Braised Hairtail], [Steamed Bowl with Tiaozi Meat], [Steamed Bowl with Small Crispy Meat], [Steamed Bowl with Sixi Meatballs], [Steamed Babao Sweets] Steamed Rice Bowl], [Steamed Chicken Bowl], [Steamed Beef Bowl], [Steamed Lamb Bowl].

In ancient times, these Shaanxi Eight Great Steamed Bowls were usually eaten when the family had a reunion dinner together on New Year's Eve.

However, the catering industry is very developed now, and there is something to eat all year round.

Among the eight steamed dishes, Mu Feng has recently cooked tiaozi meat, crispy meat and Sixi meatballs.

As for the others, although I haven't done it, it should be the same as other dishes.

He has made great progress in steaming techniques recently, and he is confident that he can make a table of delicious Shaanxi Eight Great Steaming Bowls.

After knowing the dishes in the eight steaming bowls, Mu Feng called Shi Nancheng and asked him to bring all the ingredients he needed to Su Ji.

Su Ji's environment is relatively quiet, and Mu Feng prefers to study cooking skills here.
