The strong aroma emanating from the kitchen whetted the appetites of the Chen family, and their faces were filled with anticipation.

They had eaten too many banquets in the hotel, and yesterday they had tasted the banquet dishes made by the rural chef that Chen Li brought back.

Instead, they were full of anticipation and praise for the taste of the rural banquet dishes.

"How about I go to the kitchen and ask Master Lin if he is ready?"

It is already past noon, and they are indeed a little hungry.

"Let's go take a look, and also ask Master Lin if we can help him or not."

The old lady made the final decision. It seems that she still has a lot of say at home.

On the other hand, Mr. Chen didn't say much.

But he always had a smile on his face, and he looked like a man who loved his wife.

""Okay."

Just as Chen Li was about to walk into the kitchen, she saw Lin Dong, who was wearing a kitchen uniform, wiping his hands with a paper towel and walking out.

"Hey, Sister Li, I was just about to call you. The dishes are ready and the kitchen is basically cleaned up. Now you can serve the dishes!"

"Ah, so it’s time to eat?"

"Yeah."

Lin Dong smiled and nodded, signaling Chen Li to have someone set the table and prepare for dinner.

""Xu Che, Xu Li, stop standing there and set the table."

Chen Li called out to her son and daughter, and then looked at the dozen or so dishes neatly arranged on the stove.

She couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Although it was Sichuan cuisine, each dish looked very good. Some dishes were even specially arranged on the plate and covered with a small green hat (coriander head).

"Master Lin, these dishes look so delicious. They must taste very authentic. My mother will definitely like them."

Chen Li carried a large plate of hot chicken out, and the aroma spread in her nose.

She also wanted to let her family take a good look. The chef she invited back this time was fine.

His cooking skills were very good!

At this time, Lin Dong used a kitchen cloth to take out the steamed meat from the bowl.

A bowl of the same size was placed on the stove.

Then the bowl of meat was covered on top. As soon as the bowl was opened, the skin of the meat was all facing up, and the pickled mustard greens and the like were all pressed under the meat.

If you don't use chopsticks to dig it out, you wouldn't even know that there were pickled mustard greens underneath.

This method is also called"knocking the bowl" in Longjiang City.

Knocking the bowl, knocking the bowl, isn't it that after the dish is cooked, just turn the bowl over and it's completely done!

Very vivid!

Soon, all the Chen family members came into the kitchen to help, and brought all ten or so dishes to the dining table.

As for the rice, it was also quickly served.

Lin Dong was also left to eat.

"Old lady, would you please try the food first? Do you think the dishes I made are to your liking?

Although she is already 80 years old, the old lady is in good spirits and has clear eyes. She is not confused at all.

"Boy, when I smell this, I know my daughter has found the right person."

""Okay, okay, I'll try it."

The old lady was almost unable to sit still just now.

She came from Sichuan Province and married, and she has seldom gone back home in recent years.

Now that she is old, she will probably never be able to go back again in this lifetime.

Even if she goes back, there will probably be few people she knows at home.

The reason why the old man wanted to hold a birthday party for her was to let her eat the food from her hometown.

He was afraid of wronging her, an old woman, and she knew it. The first thing she picked up with her chopsticks was naturally the soft and tasty Tuozi meat.

This kind of meat is very suitable for old people with bad teeth. It almost melts in the mouth and does not hurt the teeth at all. As soon as the Tuozi meat entered her mouth, the old lady's eyes lit up.

After a while, she raised her head, her eyes seemed a little moist, and she murmured,

"It's very authentic, it tastes exactly the same as in Sichuan, and it tastes better than the ones made by the chefs there."

"Xiaoli, Xiaojun, don't just stand there, eat, this is really better than the big banquet in my hometown."

The old lady's excited heart, trembling hands

"Okay, don't just stand there, and don't worry, your mother is happy."

Mr. Chen laughed and started to pick up food for the old lady.

"Here, old woman, try this assorted stew, you have been talking about it for a long time, and this stewed turtle soup, you should try it, it is also good for your body, and this hot pot chicken, you have been talking about it for a long time"

""Enough, enough, I'm already old, how can I eat so much?"

The old lady complained to Mr. Chen, but her wrinkled face was full of smiles.

This old man is so old.

She just wanted to eat a stew with the taste of her hometown.

This old man actually thought about holding an 80th birthday for himself.

Then his daughter invited such a young chef.

This dish is really well cooked.

"Mmm, grandma, this grilled assorted vegetables is delicious."

"Wow, grandma, this turtle soup is so delicious, even the ones in big hotels are not as delicious as this one, and this hot pot chicken is simply amazing"

"Mom, this konjac roast duck is really delicious. Not only is the roast duck very tasty, but even the konjac dipped in the soup goes into the stomach like tofu."

"I didn't expect that Master Lin can cook Sichuan cuisine so authentically, he is really amazing."

At the dinner table, the Chen family praised the food on the table.

They looked at Lin Dong one by one, and no longer had the doubts they had before.

They just said a few words, and then they ate and drank like crazy.

They didn't care about talking at all, no matter how well-educated they were.

But they had been hungry for the whole morning, and several of them had eaten such a big feast for the first time, and they couldn't control their appetite at all.

In addition, they knew that the more exaggerated they ate, the happier the old lady would be.

Because this was their recognition of the old lady's hometown cuisine.

Lin Dong ate the food slowly.

He was very happy about this. He has become accustomed to and numb to such compliments.

He doesn't feel much, after all, his cooking skills are there.

If people don't praise him, he will feel something is wrong.

As long as the host is satisfied with the taste of the food, it's fine.

It seems that the order this time is stable, but I don't know how many tables this restaurant will book.

Of course, Lin Dong didn't expect that this authentic Sichuan banquet would taste so good.

In this case, can his business be expanded to Sichuan Province in the future?

He thought about it and rejected this idea in his heart.

He might not be able to handle the local banquets, and going to Sichuan Province to prepare a banquet would be crazy!

"Um, grandpa and grandma, this dish is so delicious, I want another bowl of rice"

""Okay, okay, eat more if you like it."

Chen Li's son, who should still be in junior high school, ran to the kitchen and added another bowl of rice for himself.

"This brat usually eats a lot and is lucky to eat half a bowl of rice. I didn’t expect him to eat two bowls this time."

Xu Jun was not surprised by his son's performance.

Because he also wanted to add another bowl of rice. He was a little embarrassed just now, but now that his son has started to add more rice, there is nothing to be embarrassed about!

He also ran to add more rice.

As a result, except for the two old people who didn't add more rice, all the other young people ate two bowls of rice.

Chen Songquan even finished three bowls of rice.

Half an hour later, the dishes on the table were basically eaten up.

Even the stewed turtle soup was drunk by everyone.

""Hurry, after dinner, a small bowl of turtle soup is such a treat!"

Chen Songquan lay on the sofa.

Although Chen Li was also very full, since Lin Dong had cooked all the dishes, she naturally felt embarrassed to ask him to wash the dishes.

She called her daughter, and the two of them went into the kitchen and started to work.

"Songquan, talk to Master Lin about the banquet, otherwise he has something to do in the afternoon and we will delay him too much."

Old Master Chen said.

He had already spent several hours in the morning, and now he can't delay things any longer. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

He knew it from the reaction of his wife.

The wife had no opinion on the dishes this time, and even wanted to eat a few tables, very satisfied. There was nothing to say, this big banquet would definitely be handed over to this young man.

"Got it, Dad, Master Lin, let's talk about the table arrangements this time."

Chen Songquan sat up straight, his face full of enjoyment turned serious, and he did not underestimate Lin Dong's youth at all.[]

"Well, Uncle Chen, please take a look at the two menus I prepared. One of them is all about the Sichuan Province's Baba Banquet dishes."

"The other one is some dishes from the rural banquet in Longjiang City.

Chen Songquan took the two menus and looked at them.

"Dad, Mom, you guys take a look too."

After reading it, he handed two menus to the two old people.

The old lady looked at the two menus and after a moment, she couldn't help but smile.

"Master Lin, let's do this. You cook a table of Sichuan dishes that an old man likes to eat. I will decide on the dishes later. For the other dishes, you can make them all dishes from Longjiang City."

"I like to eat Sichuan cuisine. You locals may not be used to it. It would be bad if they criticize you."

"But this is equivalent to cooking different dishes. Master Lin, will it be troublesome for you?"

The old lady is still very considerate.

After all, if it is just a banquet, you only need to cook one or two large pots of the same dish.

But this time, you need to cook a separate table for the old lady, which takes a lot of effort.

"Madam, this is not a big deal."

"Besides, you are willing to marry to our Longjiang City from afar, which means you respect the people of Longjiang City. This small request is nothing and I will definitely get it done for you!"

"Uncle Chen, how many tables are you going to host this time?"

This is the focus of today's discussion.

If there are only a few tables or ten tables, Lin Dong and his friends can't really say they are making money.

But they probably won't refuse, after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat.

However, he thinks that the Chen family should be doing very well in Longjiang City.

If the old lady hosts a banquet, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people.

"I have discussed this with my dad and the others. There will probably be quite a few people, probably around a hundred tables!"

Their family's rise was not entirely due to the efforts of the second generation.

The old man's connections back then should not be underestimated.

Therefore, if the old lady celebrates her birthday, many relatives of the old man's generation will probably have to come to the house for the banquet.

In addition, there are some of his connections, as well as the connections of Chen Li and his other brother.

0 Asking for flowers

Naturally, there will be a lot of people coming to the house at that time.

They had roughly calculated before that there would be at least a hundred tables.

At that time, they would have to order more in reserve, at least a hundred and ten tables.

These words made Lin Dong's eyelids twitch.

This is a big order.

Just look at the small villa of the Chen family. They will definitely not choose a table that costs five hundred.

I didn't expect that after I finished cooking the banquet and just handed out business cards, I could get such a big order.

"What about the menu? Does Uncle Chen have a favorite set menu?"

"Let's take this, 1500 per table, let's book 110 tables, my mom's table alone, I'll charge you separately, one table for two people."

Chen Songquan smiled and said,"You can probably see that my family is actually in business, so many of the people we know are in the business world."

"I thought, they are probably tired of eating hotel food, so this time let them have a taste of our Longjiang City rural banquet." For the Sichuan-style banquet, the old lady will naturally choose the menu herself.

As for the banquet for the guests from Longjiang City, Chen Songquan can decide it himself, and there is no need to discuss it with the two old people.

As for whether they will be looked down upon by others for using such a table to entertain guests.

No, there will be no such idiots!

Just like a top rich second generation, if he goes to a street stall for a midnight snack, can you say that he has no taste or money?

"As for the location, it will be in our Binjiang Garden Community. As for whether the property management will allow this, don't worry. I will communicate with them when the time comes."

"Master Lin, is that okay?"

Since Chen Songquan had said so, Lin Dong naturally had no objection.

"Okay, what about the date?"

"Dad, what date should we set?"

The old man put down a booklet in his hand and said,"Let's set the 20th, which happens to be your mother's birthday, so it's a good day to hold a banquet!"

"That's fine."

Chen Songquan looked at Lin Dong and said with a smile,"Master Lin, if you want to have a big banquet, how much deposit do you need? I'll transfer the money to you right away!"

1,500 yuan per table, so 110 tables, that's 165,000 yuan, plus the old lady's extra table for 2,000 yuan, that's 167,000 yuan.

"Uncle Chen, please take a look at this contract. I will write down the names of the dishes later. After we sign it, you just need to transfer 60,000 yuan as a deposit. This is my ID card. You can take a look at it."

"Oh, it's great, Master Lin, you made it so formal, it's not easy"

"When doing business, this is insurance. It reassures our customers and ourselves."

""Okay, you can do it."

Chen Songquan read the information, then took out his ID card and wrote his ID number on it.

The two signed and pressed their fingerprints.

Lin Dong also wrote a deposit receipt for Chen Songquan.

At this point, the deal was done!

"I will bring the team here on the morning of the 20th. Uncle Chen, if there is anything else, we can contact each other by phone then."

After Lin Dong talked to Chen Songquan about some general details, he excitedly left the Chen family's villa.

Chen Li caught up with him at this time.

"Dongzi, when you came, I said I would pay you. I can’t let you work for nothing this morning.

Chen Li held two thousand yuan in her hand.

Her business has developed to this day, so her character must be good.

"Sister, forget about the money. I've already had a free meal today, right?"

Lin Dong smiled and declined,"Besides, this meal at Sister Li's house is a big order. I can make a lot of money this time.""

"If I accept this money again, wouldn’t that be disrespecting you, Sister Li?"

"Just think of this meal as my kickback to you, okay?"

"You are really good at talking, and you are really sweet. Well, although I don't need this little money, I won't be polite to you."

Chen Li was very happy because Lin Dong's words gave her face.

"Then you go back. I won't see you off. Just call me if you have anything."

"Hello, Sister Li."

Lin Dong got in the car quickly and drove out of the community.

Unexpectedly, the first person he wanted to share with was Gao Hongling.

He sent a message to Gao Hongling:"Hongling, I successfully negotiated this order."

Gao Hongling replied immediately:"Congratulations!"

Lin Dong:"Guess how big the order is?"

Gao Hongling:"Fifty tables? Or sixty tables?"

Generally, when people have big banquets, they probably have this number.

Families with more than fifty tables, even in rural areas, are considered to have a lot of connections.

Many times, in rural areas, the number of tables people have for banquets can tell the influence and conditions of some families.

Lin Dong told her directly:"One hundred and ten tables, or one thousand and five hundred tables per table."

Gao Hongling was shocked:"So many?"

Although she didn't know how much money Lin Dong could make.

But this number is indeed a bit scary.

When his cousin had a graduation banquet, he only had fifty or sixty tables.

Lin Dong:"Yes, this order can probably make a lot of money. I'll treat you to a meal then. Gao
