Chapter 47 The Mysterious Owner of Jueweilou
Lin Xiaoyue in the kitchen had no idea what those people outside were thinking. In fact, she was careful before she went out. Not only did she have pots of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in her hands, she also put a whole pot of base soup and sliced winter bamboo shoots in her space, just in case the shopkeeper asked her to make it again in Jueweilou!
The visible ingredients are not secrets. Only the base soup and winter bamboo shoots that cannot be seen are her secret weapons. In this way, she can save a lot of time when cooking!
Find some sliced ginger in the kitchen, put it into an empty purple clay pot along with winter bamboo shoots, quail eggs, abalone, sea cucumber... then pour in the base soup you brought with you, add some wine, and start simmering in the purple clay pot over low heat.
As time passed, the steam from the purple clay pot gradually wafted out with the aroma of the ingredients. Lin Xiaoyue found a chair and sat next to it, waiting confidently for the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to come out of the pot.
Outside the kitchen, everyone's legs were sore from standing. If Wang Fugui hadn't insisted on not leaving, they would have rushed into the kitchen to see what was going on!
"Boss, is that girl inside trying to scare you? It's been so long, why isn't it ready yet?"
"Don't wait, just go in and take a look and you'll know."
"Yeah, yeah! We're just waiting here like idiots. What if she fails and runs away? Wouldn't we be fools then?"
…
Wang Fugui's mouth twitched. He had spent seventy thousand taels, and he absolutely could not offend the lady inside, otherwise he might even lose money!
"Everyone, shut up! It smells okay to me, so it must be done!"
Wang Fugui, who said this, is completely talking nonsense. The smell can only be smelled ten meters away from the kitchen if all the doors and windows are open.
But the chefs completely believed what Wang Fugui said, and they all rushed forward, almost putting their faces against the door!
Wang Fugui saw this scene, which was like a newlywed's bridal chamber prank. He shouted with a mixture of anger and amusement, "What's this? Come back here!"
The cook closest to the door had already smelled the fragrance coming from inside through the crack of the door. The delicious smell made him drool, and he even ignored what Wang Fugui said!
Seeing his stunned look, the other cooks were afraid that Wang Fugui would get angry and be implicated, so they each grabbed his arm and dragged him back, "Let's go! Don't get us scolded!"
But the cook was unwilling to do so. He stared at the crack in the door and kept shouting, "The shopkeeper is right. It smells really good. Come over and smell it!"
Now, everyone rushed forward, sniffing furiously, wanting to know what the smell was that was so attractive. But the door was only a tiny crack, and people pushed and squeezed each other, and finally, the kitchen door was pushed open!
Lin Xiaoyue heard a loud "bang". She stood up and saw the chef lying on the ground falling to the ground like a pile of monks!
She chuckled, fortunately she was smart and the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was ready!
After putting out the fire in the stove, she walked to the door, put her hands on her hips, and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Shopkeeper Wang promised me not to let anyone come and disturb me. Are you going to go back on your word?"
Wang Fugui suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Would the banknotes in his arms be able to make it through the night? Were these bastards trying to kill him?
He was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him, cursing, "You disgraceful fellow, get out of here!"
But the rich aroma in the kitchen left these chefs wanting more, and they couldn’t wait to open the pot and take a few bites!
No, just one bite will do!
What on earth is used to make it so fresh, fragrant and rich!
Damn it, if I can’t have this bite, I won’t be able to sleep tonight!
Everyone looked at Wang Fugui pitifully and begged, "Boss, can you give us a bite?"
Wang Fugui almost jumped up. A bite from these guys was definitely not a simple bite. After they finished eating, what would be left in the pot?
Not to mention that they want to eat it, I am already drooling with greed, but the host has been specially invited today and he is waiting in the side room now!
He walked straight to the stove and used his fat belly to protect the purple clay pot on the stove. "Get lost! If anyone dares to touch that pot before the boss has eaten it, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship!"
The chefs were all shocked when they heard this. The boss had just said that as long as the dish satisfied the owner, everyone would be approved. They thought they would have to wait until next month for the owner to come and taste the food, but they didn't expect the owner to come so soon!
This girl is really extraordinary, as she can alarm the owner of Jueweilou!
Alas! This pot is not simple. If the boss wants to keep this girl as a cook, I don’t know whether it will be a blessing or a curse for them. Jueweilou doesn’t keep useless people!
Just as the cooks were feeling mixed emotions of joy and sorrow, Wang Fugui was already walking out with the purple clay pot in his hand. "Miss, don't worry about them. Come with me! Don't keep the boss waiting any longer!"
Lin Xiaoyue was also anxious to go back. Although Brother Liang would not knock on her door in the middle of the night, she was really tired after being busy all day!
She nodded and said, "Okay, Manager Wang, please lead the way!"
Leaving the kitchen and walking straight ahead, there is a round archway. The guard on duty immediately opened the door and let Wang Fugui in when he saw him.
Behind the archway was a small garden. Although it was night, Lin Xiaoyue could still hear the gurgling stream flowing through the bizarre rockery. She followed Wang Fugui around the rockery and came to a row of houses.
Wang Fugui didn't go in immediately. He turned around and told Lin Xiaoyue, "Miss, I've already told the boss about your request. When you go in, just wait outside the screen. Just answer whatever the boss asks, and don't ask anything else that shouldn't be asked. Otherwise, if the boss gets angry, even I will be punished!"
Lin Xiaoyue was puzzled. Could it be that the boss was a big devil? She came here just to ask for commission, what else could she ask? Shopkeeper Wang was really overthinking it!
She nodded perfunctorily and promised, "I know, if this is done, I won't treat you unfairly!"
When Wang Fugui heard Lin Xiaoyue say this, he suddenly didn't feel so bad about the 70,000 yuan. After all, when Lin Xiaoyue took 70% of the share, she would have to give him some profit!
He nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay! I said the girl had a kind face, and it turned out to be true!"
Lin Xiaoyue almost vomited out the overnight meal. She had just caused such a commotion in Juweilou that she almost blew the roof off. But in the eyes of Manager Wang, he turned out to be a kind person. It seemed that he was waiting to get some benefits!
She smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay!"
Wang Fugui joyfully pushed open the door to the main hall, walked around a screen depicting a tiger descending a mountain, placed the purple clay pot in front of the man, carefully opened the lid, and said respectfully, "Boss, this was made by the girl outside."
This screen is very unique. The person behind the screen can see the people outside clearly, but the people outside cannot see the person behind the screen.
The man smelled the fragrant aroma but did not pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he looked at the figure outside the screen with an ambiguous smile on his face. "Miss, would you like to tell me your name?"
