Chapter 104: Clarifying the Intention
After listening to Ye Shuyi's description, Chen Nanfeng analyzed, "That's probably because he still hasn't let go of his suspicions. Xiao Shi came to pick you up that day, and he deliberately discussed this in my ward to gauge my attitude. And what I said might have bothered you, and made you have a bad impression of me."
"Yeah. You deliberately asked Xiaoshi to pick me up, and you should know that I heard it." Ye Shuyi said sharply.
"Yes, I originally asked Shi Feng to find you and explain it to you in person. However, Chen Li got the news and came over again. I didn't expect the timing to be so accurate."
"Hmm. You haven't told me why he did that."
"Because, from the beginning, he wanted to test whether you were easy to control. If you were a pushover, or if you harbored a strong hatred for me, he would likely use you against me. On the other hand, if you were strong and difficult to control, he would try a different approach and use you against me."
The purpose is the same.
"Strong?" Ye Shuyi recalled that he asked Zhang Youcai to call seven or eight tall and strong employees.
It's really powerful.
She'll accept this assessment for now.
"You almost died in my hands." Ye Shuyi sighed.
"Yes! Thanks to Zhang Youcai for helping me test the poison."
"If I really gave you this ginseng and something happened to you. But I have no evidence to prove that this ginseng was not prepared by me, how would you deal with me?" She was very curious about this question.
"Well..." He deliberately dragged out his words, "I believe you won't harm me, so naturally I won't hold any grudge against you."
This answer is reassuring.
Ye Shuyi nodded reluctantly, as a sign of approval.
"Okay, do you have any questions?" he asked patiently. "If you do, just ask."
"When did you develop feelings for me?" She felt a little embarrassed when she asked.
"When we first met, I thought you were good-looking. Then, I thought your cooking was delicious, and my favorability towards you increased. After spending time together for a long time, I discovered that you are a very special person." Chen Nanfeng said one by one.
It does make sense.
"What's so special about it?" Ye Shuyi really wanted to hear his specific evaluation.
"He is serious about his work, especially when cooking, he is very particular. He is ambitious and can run a gourmet restaurant in an orderly manner, which is thriving, and he is constantly exploring new areas of gourmet food. He is kind, brave and sharp, and is willing to care for others. He is unwilling to suffer losses when encountering injustice and will take revenge. He is good-looking, polite, smart and wise..." Chen Nanfeng listed them one by one, and he couldn't stop praising him.
"Okay, okay." Ye Shuyi stopped him. These long sentences made her cheeks turn light pink.
If you think about it carefully, there are indeed so many advantages!
She is so awesome.
"Don't I have any shortcomings?" She still wanted to hear this.
But what if I get unhappy after hearing it?
No matter what, if you are unhappy, you should blame Chen Nanfeng.
"Well... of course, after all, no one is perfect," he said. "You're very sentimental. But, in my eyes, this isn't a flaw, it's just a characteristic. All your flaws are just characteristics."
Chen Nanfeng was not afraid that she would be unhappy, but he was sincere.
"You're such a smooth talker." Ye Shuyi said this with a smile on her face.
Chen Nanfeng really wanted to take this opportunity to ask, what about you, do you have a good impression of me?
It also feels too casual.
Perhaps, I should confirm her feelings in a more formal setting.
The atmosphere became relaxed.
Chen Nanfeng asked again, who was that man just now, talking and laughing with you.
"He is my friend, the former head chef of Miaoshi, and now he works here. The dishes he cooks are delicious and in line with my culinary philosophy," she introduced.
"Um."
It was almost noon, so Ye Shuyi simply prepared food for him.
Ms. Fang’s copy is no longer needed.
"What do you want to eat?" Ye Shuyi asked. Although she already had a menu, since the boss was here, she naturally had to ask for his opinion.
"It's all fine. I like everything you cook." Chen Nanfeng has become so picky about chefs that he is no longer picky about dishes.
"Okay." Since you don't want to be picky, just do it as before.
Today I made ginger and scallion chicken, three-cup duck, tea-shaped tofu, crispy roast pork, cold cucumber and braised eggplant, and served them with an astragalus and black chicken soup to replenish qi and benefit yang.
The most exquisite one is Chadong tofu.
This is a specialty dish from a place in Guangdong. It comes from the limestone terrain there. The water there has a high calcium content, so the tofu made from it is particularly tender, smooth, and has a mellow and attractive aroma.
Let’s call it a blessed land.
Also, Fudi is a good place to buy stones.
Ye Shuyi specially asked someone to transport several large barrels of mountain spring water and local small soybeans from Fudi.
The tofu made by traditional stone mill and gypsum is as white and tender as solidified fat, not easy to become loose, but just the right firmness and with a pleasant fragrance.
Ye Shuyi added some minced meat, ginger, onion and garlic, and steamed them. The fragrance of tofu and the aroma of meat combined perfectly.
One bite, the bean flavor is rich, the gravy overflows, and it is refreshing and appetizing.
They had this meal together.
Besides the tea-shaped tofu, the other dishes are also worth mentioning. For example, the crispy roast pork is truly crispy, with a satisfying crunch. The slightly charred, honey-coated, and roasted pork skin is both crispy and chewy. The pork belly, with its perfect balance of fat and lean, is neither too fatty nor too tough, neither too crumbly nor too hard, and never gets stuck in your teeth. A touch of sweetness and a touch of flavor, a few pieces of meat can complete a bowl of rice.
A sip of the soup warms your stomach and heart, and its rich and mellow flavor awakens the dietary genes of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region.
After Chen Nanfeng finished eating, he was about to go back to the company.
"I'm leaving, bye." He waved goodbye.
"Okay, will you come this afternoon? Or leave the lunch box."
"I'll come in person."
He went downstairs and saw Xiaoshi had eaten his fill and was touching his round belly through his clothes.
"Let's go." He urged.
"Oh, I'll be right there."
Xiaoshi stood up quickly.
The payment has been made, you can leave directly.
"Master, do you know who I saw today?" he muttered as he walked.
"I don't know." I don't want to guess.
Xiao Shi was already used to the young master's unwillingness to talk to anyone, so he kept talking to himself, "It's Jiao Yu, the head chef at Miao Shi. He came here after Miao Shi went bankrupt. He even made me a bowl of udon noodles with scallop sauce and seafood sauce. It was delicious! You know, Miao Shi charged me two hundred for that. It's twelve here, isn't it worth it?"
In fact, twelve yuan was not cheap at that time.
"I think he made the right decision by coming to Xiangjiang Kitchen. He might even surpass Fengcheng in the future," Xiaoshi commented.
"Yeah." Chen Nanfeng had no expression on his face.
What's the good thing about this? Come here to distract Ye Shuyi.
This idea is really naive and incomprehensible.
He won't say it.
He strode into the car and lay down in the back seat with his eyes closed to rest.
When I arrived at the company, I found a clown.
