Chapter 95: Centennial Ginseng
When Ye Shuyi arrived at Xiangjiang Kitchen, several employees were already preparing ingredients.
Today she made century egg and lean meat porridge, steamed food, Mala cake, barbecued pork buns and steamed dumplings with mushrooms and lean meat, and paired them with stone-ground soy milk.
The person who came was Butler Xue, who had not been seen for two days.
He probably didn't get enough rest, as he had obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Ye Shuyi was a little worried, so she asked, "Is there someone else on duty at the Chen family? Uncle Xue, don't get too tired."
"Yes, I do, but I'm worried and check it often," said Butler Xue.
In his eyes, the Chen family is not only his employer, but also his benefactor, and he would protect them even at the cost of his life.
At that time, his youngest son was in urgent need of money for medical treatment, and he happened to meet his wife. With the mentality of giving it a try, he knelt down and kowtowed before this elegantly dressed woman.
Ms. Fang was very generous and actually gave the money. His youngest son received the best treatment and is now very healthy.
From then on, he decided to be loyal to the Chen family forever.
"How is Madam?" Ye Shuyi asked with concern.
"It's okay. I think he'll be discharged this afternoon. But the young master will have to wait a few days."
"Well, that's good."
She thought to herself, no one asked the young master.
However, Ms. Fang's situation surprised her. Normally, it seemed that the mother and son did not have a very deep relationship.
Now that Chen Nanfeng is in trouble, she is so worried that she collapses.
The relationship between mother and son is naturally special.
They didn't talk much before Butler Xue returned to the hospital.
Today, Xiangjiang Small Kitchen is doing good business, and also received a strange guest.
The guest chose the most expensive private room to sit in. He looked to be about forty years old, with an imposing manner, and his every move revealed the temperament of a wealthy family.
Xiao Zhang, who was in charge of taking his order, was very focused, hoping to satisfy the customer and get him to come back often.
The customer flipped through the menu and said, "No chicken for the boiled chicken, no duck for the sour plum duck, no lychees for the lychee stewed chicken. Add green onions to the five-fingered peach and pork bone soup; add apples to the vegetarian sausage; and add chili peppers to the silk stocking milk tea without milk." Xiao Zhang's originally raised mouth corners instantly dropped.
Could this person be here to cause trouble? How can you order food like that?
He politely declined: "I'm sorry sir, we can't make these dishes in our restaurant."
"I have money, there's nothing I can't do. Call your boss over." The customer frowned slightly.
Xiao Zhang was also speechless, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "Okay, wait a minute."
He went downstairs and found Ye Shuyi to explain the situation.
"This guest might be here to cause trouble, Sister Shuyi, it would be better to call a few more brothers to go up, just in case." Xiao Zhang reminded.
"Well, I'll go up first. Please help me call a few brothers up." Ye Shuyi nodded and ordered.
"OK!"
Ye Shuyi went upstairs and came to private room number eight.
He was indeed a respectable man, his suits were custom-made and cost a fortune, his shoes were shiny, and his tie was new.
She walked over slowly and said as she walked, "I am the boss. I can't make the dish you requested."
The man looked up and sized up Ye Shuyi, then asked, pretending not to understand, "Why can't you do it?"
"If you don't want chicken for boiled chicken, then what do you want? Sauce? If you don't want duck for sour plum duck, then sour plum? If you don't want lychees for lychee stewed chicken, then it's just vegetarian stewed chicken. If you add green onions to ginseng and pork bone soup, then that's a waste of the soup. As for apple rice noodle rolls, that's unheard of, a weird combination. Milk tea with chili... Are you deliberately causing trouble, sir?" Ye Shuyi stated the facts in every sentence, and the last two words were inexplicably threatening.
The door was wide open, and everyone Xiao Zhang called was standing outside, able to see everything clearly.
This is Ye Shuyi’s confidence.
The man obviously saw it too.
He smiled slightly: "I have heard that Miss Ye is a powerful woman. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved."
"Thank you."
"Since you can't make it, then just serve the regular dishes. That should be possible, right? I'll pay double the price as an apology for my rudeness just now." The man said in a gentle tone.
"Okay." If there is money, then make it.
"The reason I came here today is, firstly, to try the food from the famous Xiangjiang Kitchen in Hong Kong Island and see if it's as delicious as the rumors say. The other reason is that I want to get to know someone like Miss Ye. I have other things to discuss with Miss Ye today. I wonder if you would give me the honor?" he said with a smile.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Ye Shuyi originally thought, who are you? I'm going to give you this face.
But she was free anyway.
Then let's hear what he has to say.
If he continues to do things that violate the bottom line like the last one, then I'll clap my hands, let the big guy outside come in, and beat him half to death.
After the dishes were served, the man poured her a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
"Sir, can you tell me now? What's going on?"
"Do you cook for the Chen family every day now?" he asked.
Ye Shuyi became alert. How could this person know this? What did he want her to do?
Seeing Ye Shuyi being so cautious, the man reassured her, "I'm not a bad person, don't be afraid. I'm Chen Nanfeng's second uncle."
Second uncle?
Ye Shuyi thought of the conversation she heard last night, in which Chen Nanfeng called this man "Second Uncle".
This voice is indeed familiar.
"What's the matter?" Since they were all members of the Chen family, Ye Shuyi instinctively felt that there would be no problem.
However, I can’t say enough good things about the way this second uncle made his debut.
Others always use courtesy first and then force, but he uses force first and then courtesy.
"It's not a big deal. First of all, I want to thank you for taking care of my nephew and sister-in-law in terms of diet." He took out a bag of exquisitely packaged medicinal herbs from the chair next to him.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a century-old ginseng.
This medicinal material is priceless.
"Sir, it's too expensive. I have already accepted the rewards they gave me, and I can't accept yours anymore." Ye Shuyi refused.
"Take it. It's their business if they give it to me, and it's mine if I give it to you. My nephew has been picky about food and has anorexia since he was a child. You have really solved a very important problem for our family. Nan Feng's health is the most important thing." He said sincerely.
After hearing this, Ye Shuyi hesitated again about wanting to resign.
Or try to find someone who can cook as well as she does and please Young Master Chen, and then leave!
"Ms. Ye, please accept it." He requested again.
"All right."
The man smiled and said, "If you need any help in the future, you can come to me. I'm at Shengshi Group. Just say Chen Li's name."
"Thank you, uncle."
Chen Li suddenly appeared to make things difficult for me, and then suddenly expressed his gratitude and showed his goodwill.
Ye Shuyi really didn't understand what he was trying to do, so she could only answer him.
Chen Li looked at Ye Shuyi a few more times and then left.
Ye Shuyi didn't give it to him. Instead, she looked at the ginseng again and again and decided to take it to the kitchen.
After the man left, Xiao Zhang came in.
"Sister Shuyi, what did that man say?"
"He said he was a relative of my boss. He sent me something to thank me." Ye Shuyi said truthfully.
Only then did Xiao Zhang discover that Ye Shuyi had a ginseng in her hand.
It’s still a hundred years old.
He couldn't take his eyes off it.
How precious this is!
