Chapter 30: No More Madness

"Is there anything wrong with this mirror?" Chen Nanfeng asked.

"Nothing. I just thought that the two sisters pay a lot of attention to their image." Ye Shuyi said lightly.

"Oh, many girls love beauty." Chen Nanfeng disagreed.

Just as I was about to continue looking for clues, the bell rang.

It’s Chen Nanfeng’s big brother.

"Hello?"

"Afeng, where are you? There's an emergency at home!" It was a female voice.

"Mom, you always talk about urgent matters. I'm at work. Wait until I get off work before going back." Chen Nanfeng said.

"No! You must come back now, otherwise don't come back again!" The other side was aggressive.

Helpless, Chen Nanfeng had to respond: "It better be urgent."

Hang up the phone.

"Your mother?" Ye Shuyi was curious.

"Yeah. She told me to go home. What about you? Go back first too. I'm worried."

The police officer next to him was puzzled and asked: "Are you worried about me?"

Chen Nanfeng denied: "I'm worried about the Walled City. There are all kinds of people here, and it's not safe for you and Miss Ye to be alone."

"Don't I have..." He pointed to the rules around his waist.

"If you have it, who knows, maybe others here have it too!" Chen Nanfeng said.

So, the three of them had to go back before they could figure out the reason.

As soon as I walked out the door, I bumped into a man who was wearing glasses and looked gentle and handsome.

As soon as he saw Chen Nanfeng and the other two, he took a step back, obviously a little flustered.

"Who are you? Do you know the owner of this house?" asked Officer He.

"No. I took the wrong way." The handsome and elegant man stepped back and went straight upstairs.

Officer He murmured, "This place is like a maze, it's normal to get lost."

"He doesn't look poor, so why does he want to live in these places?" Ye Shuyi was puzzled.

"Who says you come here just to live? Maybe there's something else going on?"

Some people come here not because they are poor, but because the rules here are different.

Chen Nanfeng sent Ye Shuyi to Ye Ji Gourmet.

"Shuyi, you're finally back. The customers are clamoring for the hand-shredded chicken you made!" When Ye Junhui saw her, he felt like he saw a savior.

"Wasn't it Ruoxin who did it?" Ye Shuyi was puzzled.

"Just now, a customer noticed something was wrong with the food and went to the kitchen, only to find out it wasn't you. Now everyone says they only eat what you cook!" He sighed.

When I looked at Ruoxin again, her face was pale and she was at a loss.

Did she do something wrong? It was all her fault. She wasn't good enough and had embarrassed Sister Shuyi.

"Don't be afraid, it's not your problem. You've done very well." Ye Shuyi comforted her.

Then she looked at the few people who were clamoring to eat "authentic" hand-shredded chicken. They were all sitting at the side.

"Miss Ye, you're back? I only recognize your cooking!" said a man in a white vest.

"Me too."

Ye Shuyi agreed calmly and brought out the food shortly afterwards, saying with a smile, "Enjoy your meal."

The man ate it and nodded: "This is just right!"

Wu Shuorong muttered dissatisfiedly, "I think he's deliberately looking for trouble!"

Shi Ruoxin pulled him, shook her head, and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

"Ruoxin, come with me." Ye Shuyi asked her to go to the kitchen. "Now do it again. I'll see what went wrong."

"Okay, Sister Shuyi." Shi Ruoxin began to do it step by step, not missing any details.

It’s ready, and it still looks great, making people want to eat it.

"Sister Shuyi, please try it and see what's wrong." Ye Shuyi tasted it and felt that most of it was done right and it was delicious.

If I have to say, it is sour.

"It's a bit bitter." Ye Shuyi said truthfully.

"Ah? Is it because of the lemon?" Shi Ruoxin asked.

Lemon tastes sour and astringent.

"That's the reason." Ye Shuyi flipped it over with another pair of chopsticks. "Your lemon has too many cores."

That is, the seed.

"What would happen if there were nuclear weapons?" Shi Ruoxin was puzzled.

"When you slice lemons next time, if there are two pits, you can keep them. If there are three or more, discard them. They will make the shredded chicken taste worse because the pits are bitter."

Some people will not understand this truth unless they pay attention.

It’s also Ye Shuyi’s fault for not reminding her.

"Oh!" Shi Ruoxin nodded.

"Okay, go on to make the next dish, and serve these to the guests."

"OK!"

After doing it three times, Ye Shuyi tasted it and nodded: "It's okay this time. Just practice more."

Finally succeeded.

The dish that received a good response today was the sweet and sour pork, which was prepared by Chef Wu Shuorong and only ten portions were sold.

Ye Shuyi washed her hands and cooked for Chen Nanfeng.

Today I made coconut chicken, roast duck and garlic lettuce for him.

Coconut chicken is a famous Cantonese dish and is very nutritious.

Crack open a fresh coconut, pour in coconut water as the soup base, add coconut meat strips and corn segments, bring to a boil over high heat, then add the chicken.

The chicken that Ye Shuyi chose was the wings and legs of the three-yellow chicken because these parts are tender and easy to cook.

"How long does this take to cook?"

"Just cook it for five minutes, until it's slightly boiling." Ye Shuyi said.

The coconut milk soup base is very white and has a slightly sweet and refreshing aroma. It is sweet and smooth without being greasy at all. It is especially delicious when paired with chicken.

"Axin, get me some water chestnuts." Ye Shuyi said.

"Oh, okay." Shi Ruoxin did as she was told.

This dish can also be seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, chili pepper, and lime. Some people don't like to use sauce.

Ye Shuyi personally likes the original flavor and does not need too many other things, so as to better restore the original taste of the food.

Of course, this doesn't mean that you shouldn't add any seasoning, including salt and oil. Rather, whatever you add, it should be done in moderation. Too much is as bad as too little.

This dish is very healthy and mild.

"Sister Shuyi, can I have some soup?" Shi Ruoxin was really greedy.

"No problem, I'll serve it to you." Ye Shuyi brought a bowl and not only scooped the soup but also added chicken.

They were steaming hot in the bowl.

Shi Ruoxin took it with both hands and couldn't wait to drink a mouthful of the soup.

Delicious, sweet and rich.

The chicken melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering fragrance.

Shi Ruoxin exclaimed: "I suspect the delicacies eaten by ancient emperors were of this level!"

Ye Shuyi felt embarrassed by the praise.

"You flatter me too much!"

She admitted that she had some cooking skills, but she was still far behind the ancient imperial chefs!

She prepared the other dishes and packed them in boxes.

The housekeeper is here.

He looked at Ye Shuyi, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"What's wrong?" Ye Shuyi was surprised.

"Nothing." The butler sighed and left.

Ye Shuyi went back confused and met a few young men.

Ye Junhui said from the side: "Shuyi, these are the candidates who came to apply for the job. Do you think they are suitable?"

Ye Shuyi glanced at them one by one and nodded: "Wait a moment, I'm busy now."

"Boss, I can help." said one of the newcomers, who had dyed yellow hair.
