Song He, who had just come from the countryside, spoke unstandard Mandarin. When she was receiving the elderly, she used gestures with her hands and feet, making the elderly laugh.

Seeing Su Changyao coming out, the somewhat restrained Song He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Su, this old gentleman wants to order braised dishes."

The old gentleman looked very impressive, so Su Changyao greeted him politely, "What kind of stewed food would you like to order?"

"Today is my wife's birthday, I want to order two tables of stewed dishes from your restaurant. Also, can you make stir-fried dishes? I need to add a few more dishes."

Su Changyao was in a dilemma for a moment because he had to catch a train at noon.

But it was obvious that the old man was a big customer.

Why wouldn’t you do business that comes to your doorstep?

Kyoto University is not too far from the train station. It is still morning, so I think I should be able to catch the train in time.

Su Changyao nodded: "Okay, I'll introduce you to the braised dishes."

"I suggest that each table order half a braised duck, a braised platter, a braised pig's trotter, and if the weather is hot, a cold-mixed pig's ear, a braised vegetable dish, a fish dish with a rich and beautiful flower, a braised pork dish, and finally a cold-mixed vegetable dish."

"You ordered two tables of food, eight dishes per table, and the vegetarian cold dish you added at the end will be given to you for free in our restaurant."

"It's my aunt's birthday, and our restaurant guarantees that each dish has enough portions, enough for a table of ten people."

Su Changyao discussed with the old man: "Do you think this arrangement is okay?"

There were fish, meat and braised dishes. The fish was cooked to perfection just like in a state-owned restaurant. The braised pork was also a classic dish. The old man was very satisfied with Su Changyao's arrangements.

When Gu Min came back from the market with the steamed buns and snacks and handed them to Su Changyao, he looked a little dazed.

"Here, I see you're going to the countryside and you didn't bring anything with you except a few sets of clothes to change into. I thought you'd be hungry when you get on the train, so I bought you some buns and cakes to take with you."

"You're welcome. This is our employee benefit. We'll pay you this month's salary when you come back, so you don't run away halfway."

Su Changyao is actually a serious person. When Gu Min said this, he rarely smiled.

Feeling Gu Min's kindness, he reached out and took the bag of food from her.

"Your trip to the farmers' market was in vain. You have to make another trip. When you were not here just now, Song He and I took over two tables of birthday banquets together."

Su Changyao said to Gu Min, "You still have to go to the market and buy a few pounds of pork belly. You also need to buy fish. You need two big fish."

"I'm going to make an assorted vegetarian dish. Wait, I'll write you a list and try to buy everything at once."

Su Changyao's writing posture is very beautiful. He has the aura of a great calligrapher, and the words he writes are indeed very elegant.

At first, Gu Min was still wondering, if he didn’t have to catch a train, how could he have time to prepare a birthday party?

Gu Min's eyes fell on the menu written by Su Changyao, and he couldn't take his eyes off it for a moment. He even forgot to ask him whether he had time to prepare the birthday party. He took the menu, got on his bicycle and went out again.

However, when she came back from buying groceries, thinking that she could not delay Su Changyao from catching the train, Gu Min finally took a detour into the school and told Lu Baiwei about the birthday party.

It’s just a fish, a braised pork, and a whole set of mixed cold dishes, the rest is ready-made.

With her daughter Weiwei around, if Su Changyao didn't have time to cook these dishes, he could always take time off to catch the train.

Lu Baiwei thought so too, but by the time she and Song Zhou took time out to go to Shiwei Ji to help, Su Changyao's braised pork was already ready and the fish was in the pot.

The taste of braised dishes is already very tempting, but what is even more tempting than braised dishes is the taste of Su Changyao's braised pork.

The guests invited by the old couple couldn't stand the smell and clamored for the food to be served quickly.

Su Changyao is well versed in dish presentation. He placed cucumber slices around the braised dishes and carved carrots on top. He also placed shredded red peppers and green on top of the braised pork, and a dish of mixed cold dishes was even more attractive in color.

Finally, the highlight, "Flowers in Full Bloom and Prosperity", was served, which attracted the guests' admiration.

Because these dishes are so colorful, they don’t look like they are for eating, but more like works of art.

"This fish is so beautifully cooked, I can't bear to eat it."

"And today's stewed food tastes so good, it's even better than what I usually buy back home."

"This braised pork is so delicious, better than the ones in state-owned restaurants."

"This dish is quite filling. Let's have our birthday banquet at Shiweiji next time. Now I know that Shiweiji can serve other dishes besides braised dishes..."

The guests ate with relish and expressed their satisfaction with the dishes at Shiweiji. Gu Min was extremely satisfied with Su Changyao. In order to show her eagerness to recruit talented people, she expressed her importance to Su Changyao as a manager.

Su Changyao went out to catch the train, and Gu Min saw him off to the door.

"Master Su, please go and come back soon. Food Taste Record cannot do without you."

Su Changyao nodded solemnly: "Okay, Manager Gu, I'll come back as soon as I'm done with this."

While Lu Baiwei was helping out in the store, Gu Min sent Su Changyao to the fork in the road to catch the bus. When he came back and was still at the store door, he heard Song He's scream coming from inside.

"Oh no, Sister Weiwei, grandma has collapsed."

Gu Min's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

When she ran into the restaurant, she saw the birthday girl, the old lady who had been satisfied with the food and had a wrinkled smile on her face, lying under the table.

Her husband, the one who had come to the store to order food before, shouted in anxiety.

"Old woman, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, wake up."

“Is there something wrong with the stewed food in the store?”

"What a shady shop! I got into trouble just by eating there."

The guests were talking and accusing each other. Lu Baiwei came down to feel the old lady's pulse. She took out a silver needle and gave the birthday girl an acupuncture treatment against everyone's opinion. A person outside the store who was peeking in had a smug and ferocious smile on his face.

As if he was afraid that others would discover his presence, when Song He looked at him suspiciously, he ran away and disappeared into the alley...

While Lu Baiwei was urgently dealing with the Shiweiji poisoning crisis, the meeting on economic development was held on time at 2 pm in the Kyoto City Hall.

As the spokesperson, the old comrade made a passionate speech on economic development and announced the business data of the first pilot individual economic store and the amount of tax paid.

"Comrades, only when the people become rich first can our country become rich and society develop comprehensively."

"I think it is necessary to open up the development of the individual economy."

The amount of tax paid by a self-employed store in one month is equivalent to the net profit of a state-owned restaurant in one month.

If the individual economy is fully liberalized, what a prosperous scene it will be like?

As the old comrade finished his speech, enthusiastic drumbeats rang out from the audience.
