After Mr. Cen slowly tasted the four dishes one by one, he became more and more convinced that the shopkeeper Liu must have some special secret recipe to remove the fishy smell.

He had studied fox meat before. The quality of the meat was indeed good, but the fishy smell was difficult to remove.

If you use a lot of spices for marinating, the spice flavor will be too strong, and it will not only be unpalatable, but you will not be able to taste the meat at all.

So after studying it several times, Mr. Cen gave up.

I didn't expect that there are still masters among the people. There is actually someone who can remove the fishy smell of fox meat so perfectly. I can't help but admit it!

Mrs. Ye was eating by herself while helping Qingtian pick up some meat.

Among the four dishes, Qingtian particularly likes the boiled pork and the fox legs in sauce.

After eating two pieces of boiled meat, he grabbed a leg and started chewing it with great pleasure.

While eating, Mr. Cen tried to figure out what seasonings Manager Liu had added.

But in the end it turned out to be completely futile.

If it is so simple that others can taste it, then it can't be considered an exclusive secret recipe.

Seeing that everyone else was eating with such satisfaction, Mr. Cen finally gave up his obsession and began to concentrate on enjoying the food in front of him.

After all the dishes were served to each table, Manager Liu finally came out from the kitchen to greet everyone.

The main thing is to ask whether you are satisfied with the dishes.

"Shopkeeper Liu's cooking skills are getting better and better. This white-cut pork is much more delicious than last year's. It's absolutely amazing."

"This year's foxes are fatter and, most importantly, fresher, making them perfect for making boiled meat."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room gave a thumbs up.

"You can come here more often for such delicious food in the future!"

"That's not up to me to decide. It depends on what the hunters can catch, right?"

"I'm craving that roe deer meat again. Next time you have roe deer, remember to let me know!"

"I still think sika deer is delicious."

“I don’t think I’ve had any wild boar meat so far this year!”

Listening to the chatter of the crowd outside, Boss Ye quietly took it to heart, thinking about going up the mountain to see if he could catch him later.

Just as I was thinking about it, Manager Liu came into the room.

"Mr. Cen, how is the meal?"

“I’ve heard of your wild game restaurant in the capital before, but I never had the chance to try it.

"After tasting it today, it really lives up to its reputation."

At this point, Mr. Cen suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip. Although he didn't hold much hope, he still asked.

"I wonder if Shopkeeper Liu would like to participate in the cooking competition?"

As expected, upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu shook his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cen, for your kindness. This kind of competition should be left to the young people. I'm old now, and I'm very satisfied to be able to live on my own little piece of land.

"Besides, I only know how to cook wild game. My other dishes are just so-so, so I won't get involved."

"Well, I can't force you to do anything." Mr. Cen said with some regret.

Shopkeeper Liu took the opportunity to say, "If you have time in the future, you can come and patronize us more often. We also welcome your suggestions."

Hearing this, Mr. Cen smiled, raised his hand and nodded at him, saying, "You have a very good plan."

"Since you are familiar with Boss Ye, whenever he hunts some game and sells it to me, you can come over for a meal. That would be great!" Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile.

"That does make some sense." As the imperial chef, Mr. Cen actually had little interest in game.

For safety reasons, the imperial kitchen would basically not prepare pure game for the nobles in the palace.

Even if the superiors occasionally asked for a change of taste and something fresh, the animals were all raised in the royal hunting grounds.

Therefore, Mr. Cen has never had much interest in game.

But after eating the fox meat made by Manager Liu today, it really piqued his interest.

Even if Manager Liu didn't say it, he would probably come here often in the future.

Everyone was very happy after the dinner. They stayed at Jiang's house for one night. The next day, Lu Hongyun also came from the capital.

"There's a banquet tomorrow, and I'll go with you then.

“I’ve never done catering before.

“But after I returned to Beijing last time, I still tried every possible way to find out more.

"But I still need to observe how you do things up close so I can get more specific information so I can help you plan how to do better in the future."

"That's definitely no problem, but it's in the countryside, and the conditions probably aren't very good. I'm mainly worried that you won't be able to handle it."

"Madam You, do you think I come from a wealthy family?

“Let me tell you, when I was a child, my family’s conditions were worse than the poorest family in your village.

"Even when my brother got married, my family couldn't afford to host a banquet, so my mother just cooked a few dishes for us.

"Don't worry. Any of these families, picked out at random, are definitely better off than my family when I was a child. How could I look down on them?"

Mrs. Ye didn't expect that Lu Hongyun's family conditions were so poor when she was a child. After all, her current temperament doesn't show it at all.

The next day, Mrs. Ye contacted Lin Yumei and Feng Yueying and arranged a time to meet at the gate of each other's village.

Mrs. Ye also followed Lu Hongyun's advice and told the two people that Mr. Jiang had helped her arrange three banquets in Beijing.

Firstly, it informs them of the schedule, and secondly, it is equivalent to giving them reassurance.

After all, both of them are planning to work under Mrs. Ye, so they must know that Mrs. Ye has the ability to make them earn more than if they work alone.
