Chapter 251 Zhong Tiemin
Lu Yunque brought Yun Zijin to a store in an alley, and even used Morse code when knocking on the door.
Soon, someone came to open the door.
"Xiao Lu is here? Come in quickly!"
However, he soon saw Yun Zijin beside Lu Yunque, and his eyes lit up: "This is..."
"Hello, Uncle Zhong, this is my girlfriend. Zijin, this is Uncle Zhong, his ancestors were royal chefs."
Lu Yunque gave the two of them a brief self-introduction.
"Ah! That was the glory of our ancestors. When it comes to my generation, each generation is worse than the previous one."
Zhong Tiemin waved his hand casually, not really caring about the fact that his ancestor had been an imperial chef.
"There are so many chef families in the country, but not every one of them can produce a royal chef."
Yun Zijin is not stingy with his praise for those whom Lu Yunque approves of.
But what she said was the truth. There are so many chefs in the world, and to be the royal chef means that one has something extraordinary.
"Girl, you're still good at talking. Look how many times you've come here, and I've never seen you praise me."
Lu Yunque laughed, he didn't expect that he would be the one to be blamed in the end.
"Being liked by customers is the best compliment to you. The fact that I come here often means that I really like the food you cook, and that is the best compliment."
Lu Yunque would not take the initiative to say some compliments, but today he was forced to do so by the two of them.
"Hey! You've hit the nail on the head. Today I'm going to show you one of my secret recipes that's been passed down from generation to generation.
Please sit down first, I will go and cook for you."
After saying that, Zhong Tiemin turned around and went into the kitchen.
There are several wooden tables in the yard. They look quite old, but you can see that they are very clean.
In many shops that have been open for a long time, the tables will inevitably have an oily feeling that cannot be wiped off, but the tables and chairs here do not have that feeling.
Lu Yunque took Yun Zijin to choose a table and sit down.
"Don't we need to order?"
"Uncle Zhong's rule is that the guests will eat whatever he cooks. If you have any dietary restrictions, you can tell him in advance."
If this is the case, then Uncle Zhong is really willful.
However, if your skills are good enough, people will come to you no matter how strict the rules are.
"I see, but how did you know this place?"
Judging from the way Lu Yunque used Morse code to knock on the door before, it seems that not everyone is welcome here.
"When I was in college, I happened to be roommates with Uncle Zhong's son."
This was really a coincidence, otherwise he wouldn't have known that there was such a special restaurant in this deep alley.
"Then you're pretty lucky."
Lu Yunque didn't comment, but now that he thought about it, his luck seemed to have always been pretty good?
"So, when you come here this time, do you want to tell your roommate?"
Since he knew about this place through his roommate, Yun Zijin felt that Lu Yunque should tell his roommate.
"I did, but he's out looking for food these days and isn't in the capital."
Although Lu Yunque's roommate studied the same business administration major as him, he returned home to inherit the family business after graduating from college.
Now they are either on the way to find ingredients or on the plane to find ingredients, and they are nowhere to be found.
Yun Zijin suddenly realized and said nothing more.
The two waited for almost half an hour, and it was already completely dark. However, there was a big light in the yard, and it was very bright when it was turned on, so it did not affect their meal.
At this time, Zhong Tiemin and his assistant brought up all the meals cooked today.
"Look, if anything doesn't suit your taste, I won't make this dish next time."
"Uncle Zhong, you're joking. I've been here so many times and I've never encountered a dish I didn't like."
Lu Yunque had some understanding of Zhong Tiemin's craftsmanship.
A person with good skills can make even bitter melon into an unforgettable delicacy.
"Let me try it first."
Yun Zijin first scooped some soup for herself, took a sip, and her eyes narrowed because it tasted so good.
Not knowing what adjectives to use to express her feelings, Yun Zijin could only think of giving Zhong Tiemin a thumbs up.
“It’s delicious!”
Zhong Tiemin has dedicated most of his life to cooking. When someone liked the food he cooked and gave him a thumbs up so directly, he instantly felt happy.
"Haha! I just like your straightforward nature. I like what you say!"
After saying that, Zhong Tiemin went into the kitchen again.
Not long after, a plate of snacks was brought out.
"Here! This is the red date cake passed down from my great uncle. It will definitely make you want more.
Uncle just likes you, I won’t give it to anyone else.”
Zhong Tiemin placed the red date cake in front of Yun Zijin, which showed that he was obviously biased.
"I've been here so many times and I've never eaten here."
Lu Yunque said this with a slightly sour tone, which surprised Yun Zijin.
Lu Yunque is a friend of Uncle Zhong’s son, but he has never tasted it?
"Hehe, you've been here so many times, and I've never seen you say a word of praise. I like honest and sweet-talking kids."
"That's right, I like to tell the truth, but I can't finish all these, so I'll give you one to try."
Yun Zijin picked up one and handed it to Lu Yunque.
Lu Yunque took it without hesitation and took a bite. It was indeed very different from the red date cakes he usually bought outside.
Most of the red date cakes sold out there are very sweet and you’ll get sick of them if you eat too much, but the one made by Zhong Tiemin is not like that.
And the taste is very good, not choking.
How to put it, it just... maintains the original flavor of red dates, but gives a new taste experience.
When Zhong Tiemin saw Lu Yunque's expression, he knew that this red date cake had touched Lu Yunque's heart.
But there weren't any more. He seldom made pastries. He made a few more today because he suddenly wanted to eat some.
"Okay, you guys eat first, I'll go in and clean up."
Yun Zijin wanted to invite others to stay and eat together, but was stopped by Lu Yunque.
"Uncle Zhong is always like this. He doesn't eat at the same table with customers."
Although this rule is a bit strange, Yun Zijin still expressed his understanding.
Yun Zijin only tasted a piece of red date cake and put it aside.
After all, we come here to eat, not to eat pastries.
"It's okay. If you can't finish it, you can ask someone to take it home."
Although the taste will be slightly affected after being put in the refrigerator, it is better than wasting it.
Yun Zijin nodded and put the pastries aside with peace of mind.
"I might not be free all day tomorrow. If you need anything, send me a message, don't call. I'll get back to you as soon as I see the message."
Thinking about testing the security system developed by Meilin tomorrow, Yun Zijin began to look forward to it unconsciously.
"What is it? Do you need my help?"
Hearing that Yun Zijin was busy all day, Lu Yunque felt a little disappointed, but when he thought that Yun Zijin might be busy because of something, Lu Yunque started to worry again.
"It's okay, it's about Mr. Tang's laboratory."
