Chapter 346: Do You Really Want to Serve It Up?
Wu Jiantong accompanied Su Yujin through the lobby of Juweizhai and went straight to the backyard to look for Zheng Mingyuan.
"Uncle Zheng must be very busy these two days." Su Yujin said.
"Yes." Wu Jiantong nodded. "I have been busy since before dawn today, and I have not stopped until now. I said I want to make a meal that is unique and amazing."
"It's just that we haven't seen what Chef Zheng has cooked yet, nor have we tasted it yet."
You've been busy since before dawn and haven't cooked a single meal?
It seems that Zheng Mingyuan is really full of energy and is constantly striving for perfection.
I just don't know what kind of delicious food he is going to make...
Su Yujin was thinking about it when she and Wu Jiantong went into the kitchen and saw Zheng Mingyuan busy inside.
When Zheng Mingyuan saw Su Yujin coming over, he wiped the sweat off his forehead with the towel hanging around his neck, and turned up the heat in the stove a little bit. He said with a smile, "The boss is here, come on, sit down, my rice and dishes will be ready soon, and we can eat soon, it's a good time for you to have a taste too."
"Then we'll wait and enjoy our feast." Su Yujin agreed with a smile, and went to the lobby with Wu Jiantong to talk while waiting.
From Wu Jiantong's words, Su Yujin learned that everything was going well at Juweizhai, and basically everything could be prepared before the New Year so as not to delay the opening after the New Year.
"Has anyone come to cause trouble during this period?" Su Yujin asked.
Juweizhai does have some connection with the Wu family. From He Yanxiu's Su Yujin, they learned that although the Wu family is now considered a wealthy and powerful family, they cannot be called a famous family. The family does not have much financial resources. The entire Wu family tends to be power-hungry and mean, and their minds are narrow.
They would probably take such small things to heart and would definitely not let others have an easy time.
"It's been relatively peaceful." Wu Jian said, "There's nothing major wrong. There were only a few beggars who came to our door a few days ago, but they were only there to discuss the future disposal of our restaurant's kitchen waste. It doesn't seem like they were sent by the Wu family."
"The Beijing Chamber of Commerce has also entered smoothly. No one has stopped us. However, most of the people there are indifferent and not enthusiastic. But this is understandable. After all, we have just taken over Juweizhai. Others don't know our details. We can wait and see what happens."
"It's true that the Eight Immortals are quite hostile to us, but we are in the same business after all. Plus, the cooking competition is coming up soon, and the Eight Immortals know that the one participating in the competition is Chef Zheng. They must be quite worried."
"Overall, the current situation is pretty good and there aren't too many problems."
"Yeah." Su Yujin nodded.
In the past few days, He Yanxiu has spread some rumors more or less.
The implicit meaning is that Juweizhai is protected by the He family, so outsiders have to give it some face to them.
The He family is now quite powerful and has great reputation in front of the emperor. Things like looking after a restaurant are trivial matters and most people will give them some face.
Even a hostile family like the Wu family would not want to argue with the He family over such a small matter, so as not to get a bad reputation for being petty.
In short, everything is good, that's the best.
The two chatted about some personal details of Juweizhai. About half an hour later, Zheng Mingyuan came over excitedly.
She didn't even bother to take off her apron, but just called out to the waiter in the kitchen, "Hurry up and serve the food."
These two waiters were originally servants who had sold their jobs to Qinghe Huibinlou. As Zeng Dayong had to work as the chef at Huibinlou and could not spare any time, they followed Zheng Mingyuan here to help him.
The two of them originally had some basic cooking skills and worked hard. They learned a lot of skills in the past two years at Huibinlou. Although they cannot compare with Zeng Dayong, they can still compare with the chefs in ordinary restaurants.
When the two heard Zheng Mingyuan's urging, they looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"Do you really want to serve it?"
"Since Master said to serve, then let's serve."
"That's right. We have only learned one tenth of Master's abilities. There must be a lot more to it than that..."
The two of them whispered to each other and brought over the things Zheng Mingyuan had just made.
There were two dishes and a bucket of rice in total.
Among the two dishes, one was stir-fried pork and the other was pickled cabbage. As for the rice, although the grains looked distinct and full, it was actually very ordinary white rice.
Judging from the color alone, these two dishes and one rice can be described as mediocre.
Probably, these are just two dishes that Zheng Mingyuan cooked on a whim, and the main course probably hasn't been served yet.
Su Yujin and Wu Jiantong both thought so and waited anxiously for the waiter to continue serving the dishes.
But Zheng Mingyuan had already picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, "How come the boss and Shopkeeper Wu have become so polite after not eating together for a few days? Come on and eat."
After saying that, he took Su Yujin and Wu Jiantong's bowls and scooped rice for them.
Su Yujin and Wu Jiantong looked at each other. After hesitating for a moment, Su Yujin asked, "Uncle Zheng, how many dishes did you cook?"
"Just these two dishes." Zheng Mingyuan said with a smile, "Enough for the three of us."
Su Yujin pursed her lips.
Wu Jiantong was also silent.
They had been busy since before dawn, and had only cooked two dishes and steamed some white rice. Could it be that Zheng Mingyuan tried to develop some new and unique dishes, but it didn't work, and he was frustrated, so he gave up? The two of them were a little worried, and nodded, took the rice scooped by Zheng Mingyuan, and each picked up some dishes and put them in their bowls to eat.
First of all, there is the stir-fried pork, which has a smooth and tender texture. Although there is a sense of meat fiber, it does not feel woody and heavy. Instead, the meat feels light and refreshing, and the taste is excellent.
The pickled cabbage looks ordinary, but it is mainly made of cabbage stalks, and the tender heart of the cabbage stalks, which have a crisp texture and are very flavorful. A little sugar is added to enhance the flavor, and a little chili is added to enhance the flavor. The whole dish becomes sour and delicious, and is very delicious with rice.
The most noteworthy thing is the bowl of white rice, which is full of flavor and each grain is full and fragrant when chewed. It is delicious when paired with the two dishes.
"I've never eaten meat as delicious as this!" Wu Jiantong exclaimed, "I've never eaten rice as delicious as this either."
"Of course." Su Yujin chuckled, "Because this is not meat at all."
"It's not meat?" Wu Jiantong was stunned. He picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and looked at it carefully. He put the piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it carefully. He was even more confused. "This meat tastes so fragrant and tender, how can it not be meat?"
It's obviously meat...
The damn H1N1... My second child is fine, but my first child is infected again. For the past two weeks, we have been taking care of one child each and not letting them come into contact. However, there are so many people in school and so many viruses. Now the oseltamivir in the whole province is out of stock...o(╥﹏╥)o (End of this chapter)
