The Imperial Chef's Restaurant
Bai Yinuo looked at the dog in front of him and paused his movements.
The black back broke free from the housekeeper's restraints, ran into the house, and stopped in front of her. Its eyes were fixed on the jerky in her hand, and anyone could see that it was eager.
The black back stared at the dried meat, sniffing its nose, ready to pounce. But it still remembered the ferocious biped in the house, so it was a little scared and didn't dare to act recklessly.
Su Momo saw the black back run in again and was so scared that her face turned blue. After a while, she slowly relaxed after seeing that the black back had no intention of pouncing on people.
She asked curiously, "Boss, it seems like it wants to eat the jerky in your hand."
Su Momo looked at the black back with a strange look in her eyes: "This dog has good taste. The pet jerky made by the boss is very delicious. Although I am a human, I can't help but be greedy sometimes."
Bai Yinuo covered the shivering Samoyed in his arms and put away the dried meat in his hand.
She didn't want to give the dried meat to the black back dog. The black back dog wasn't as obedient or cute as the Samoyed, and it just scared her and the dog. She just couldn't get along with it.
Moreover, when she was coaxing the Samoyed just now, she had said that these pet jerkys all belong to the Samoyed, so she would naturally not go back on her word.
When the blackback saw Bai Yinuo hiding the dried meat behind his back, his eyes became fierce and he bared his teeth, hoping to get Bai Yinuo to give him the dried meat. However, the result was the opposite of what he expected. No matter how he bared his teeth, Bai Yinuo ignored him.
After what happened just now, Bai Yinuo saw clearly the nature of this blackback as a strong appearance but weak inside.
The moves that had always worked in the past failed against Bai Yinuo. The expression on Heibei's face became stiff and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Why is this biped different from others?
The idea of snatching the dried meat popped up in Blackback's mind, but as soon as the idea came up, it was immediately suppressed.
Ited in after seeing that particularly vicious human sneak going upstairs. If that human came down and saw it trying to steal something, it would be in trouble.
But it is unwilling to give up.
It had never seen such fragrant jerky before. It exuded a rich meaty aroma that made its mouth water. It was more attractive to it than any other brand of jerky.
There was some jealousy in the German Shepherd's eyes as he looked at the Samoyed puppy. Why should this weak and powerless dog get to eat, while this strong and handsome dog didn't deserve to enjoy it?
At this moment, an idea popped into its mind: if this Samoyed can do it, why can't it?
The image of the Samoyed seeking favor popped up in Blackback's mind. He seemed to have realized something and became alert all over.
Bai Yinuo saw the blackback lying in front of her, with its muscles relaxed and a submissive look. The blackback stared at the dried meat in her hand, the fierce look on its face completely disappeared, and its tail swayed intermittently.
Bai Yinuo: “…”
The scene where the wolfdog imitates the Samoyed to curry favor is really too shocking to the eyes.
When Ji Shuangxing came back, he happened to see this scene.
Peter has always been fearless, not to mention strangers, he is even rude to his owner. He thinks this is the nature of this kind of wolfdog, but he doesn't hate it. Instead, he likes it very much because it looks cool.
He never thought that one day he would see Peter being so fawning.
He was a little confused and turned to look at the butler next to him: "What is it doing?"
The housekeeper wiped the sweat off his head and said, "Second Master, it seems like it wants to eat the food brought by the guests, and I can't stop it."
Ji Shuangxing paused and frowned deeply.
Ji Shuangxing looked at the three strangers. All three of them were outstanding in appearance, and the girl in the middle was even more eye-catching.
But he had no intention of striking up a conversation now, as the German Shepherd was the only thing on his mind.
He walked behind the black dog, bent down to pick up the dog leash on the ground, and scolded: "Peter, what are you doing? You are so stupid!"
When the black back heard the familiar voice of its owner, it suddenly became alert and stood up immediately.
The owner is here! It has some dried meat to eat!
It immediately returned to its previous spirited appearance, as if the crouching dog just now was not itself.
The blackback raised its front paws and pointed at the dried meat in Bai Yinuo's hand. It said in a domineering voice, like a bully: "Woof! Woof!" It wants to eat dried meat!
Ji Shuangxing rubbed his eyebrows and finally understood what was going on.
Just as he calmed down, he suddenly smelled an alluring fragrance in the air.
When Ji Shuangxing came over, Bai Yinuo and his companions wanted to greet him politely, but the actual situation did not allow it, because the snacks made by Boss Bai were so delicious that people could not eat them at all.
Su Momo chewed the honey pork jerky in her mouth, her face full of emotion: "Wow, I have never eaten such delicious pork jerky. Not only is it delicious, but it also has a fresh taste. It is especially refreshing. I don't know what it is. I don't want to stop eating it now."
Bai Yinuo smiled and said: "When I was baking the pork buns, I brushed them with a layer of fruity rice wine, so there is a light fruity smell."
Ji Yuchi commented: "This five-spice beef jerky is also good. It tastes great and doesn't get stuck in your teeth. The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes."
Bai Yinuo took a bag of beef jerky, slowly opened it, and said with a smile: "I think it tastes good too, so I made a lot."
Just now when we were at the door, if only a few bags of snacks were snatched away by the black back dog, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But the poor family is rich on the road, Bai Yinuo considered that the journey would be long, and like a hamster hoarding food, he specially made a lot of things. The things in the bag were rations for all of them.
This handbag is a big one, like a treasure chest, filled with many snacks. The snacks inside are all small vacuum-packed, so you can take them out and eat them at any time, which is clean and convenient.
The three of them were eating snacks, and the Samoyed was eating dried meat. It looked like they were living a peaceful life.
The blackback's nose twitched, as if it was possessed, its mouth slightly opened, and its eyes stared straight at the food they were eating.
Heibei was extremely eager and couldn't help rubbing his head against Ji Shuangxing's pants, as if to urge him.
Ji Shuangxing looked at the things in their hands, ignored Heibei, and had an unpredictable expression on his face.
After a while, he finally spoke: "Are you the people brought by Ji Zihuai?"
Bai Yinuo put down what he was holding and nodded solemnly, looking more serious than usual.
She had never been a master before, and this was her first time meeting her apprentice's family, so naturally she had to be more serious.
"Can you give me the jerky in your hand?"
Bai Yinuo shook his head: "Sorry, no, this is for my dog, I promised it not to give it to anyone else."
Ji Shuangxing's face froze. Although the jerky smelled delicious, it was just a little bit of jerky and this person was unwilling to give it to him.
Ji Shuangxing sneered: "So this is what the friend Ji Zihuai brought back is like."
Bai Yinuo keenly sensed the other party's hostility, but she didn't care and looked normal: "In fact, I am not just a friend, I am also Ji Zihuai's master."
Ji Shuangxing was stunned, incredible: "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Didn't he tell you that I'm his master and he's working in my restaurant now?" Bai Yinuo thought that this was Ji Zihuai's family and wanted to say something good about him: "He works very hard and has excellent abilities."
Ji Shuangxing looked at this girl who looked younger than Ji Zihuai, and his head was buzzing.
This girl said she was Ji Zihuai's master?
Just then, Ji Zihuai came downstairs with the things he had packed in his hands.
Ji Shuangxing caught a glimpse of Ji Zihuai from the corner of his eye, and his hand holding the dog leash paused slightly.
He didn't know why he turned down the party and came back immediately.
He obviously hates his brother Ji Zihuai.
When they were young, Ji Zihuai was always better than him. He was always the best in school, and his sports performance was not much worse. He won many awards, while he was mediocre like a passerby. Others only knew the eldest son of the Ji family, but not him. He had always lived in the shadow of Ji Zihuai, and people even wondered if he was Ji Minghai's son.
Everyone was optimistic about Ji Zihuai and thought he would be a qualified successor. Ji Shuangxing felt that he was living like a maggot in the dark during that period, and his heart was full of envy and jealousy.
People outside thought that Ji Minghai looked down on his eldest son, so he wanted to promote his younger son. In fact, the opposite was true. It was Ji Zihuai himself who did not want to inherit Minghai Electric.
At that time, Ji Zihuai said to his father in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "I don't want to inherit the company. I don't know how to do business. I want to be a chef."
Ji Shuangxing vividly remembered the day when his father was furious after the quarrel with his eldest brother.
Ji Shuangxing thought about it for a long time and thought that the other party wanted to retreat in order to advance, but actually did not want to give up the company at all.
In the days that followed, the relationship between the two brothers became increasingly tense and tit-for-tat, but this was only one-sided on Ji Shuangxing's part.
After Ji Zihuai left home, Ji Shuangxing finally realized that what the other party said was not a lie.
After learning that Ji Zihuai gave up the opportunity to inherit, the first thing that surged in his heart was joy. However, after the joy faded, a huge sense of emptiness gradually emerged.
The thing he thought so much about was actually treated as a piece of trash by the other party.
Ji Shuangxing had complicated feelings towards Ji Zihuai.
Ji Shuangxing saw Ji Zihuai coming downstairs and sneered: "Didn't you say you didn't want to go back to the capital? Why are you back again? You really don't have any credibility."
Ji Zihuai was a slow-witted person, and he didn't know what to say to his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time. After thinking about it, he finally said, "You don't seem to have grown taller."
The other person was this tall when he left, and seemed to be still this tall when he came back.
Ji Zihuai had a blank expression on his face and looked extremely cold, as if he looked down on others. In Ji Shuangxing's eyes, he looked extremely hateful.
Although Ji Shuangxing is over 1.8 meters tall, he is still a head shorter than Ji Zihuai.
Ji Shuangxing gritted his teeth and said, "Go away, it's none of your business."
Ji Zihuai walked to Bai Yinuo as if nothing had happened, and said, "I was going to come back to get something and check on my father. If he doesn't come back, I'll leave first."
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Hailinyuan."
Ji Shuangxing snorted coldly, not wanting him to leave, and asked, "What were you doing outside? Why did this person claim to be your master?"
Ji Zihuai answered truthfully: "Master is Master, there is no reason."
"You said you wanted to learn from many excellent chefs, but you ended up choosing someone so young as your master. Is there something wrong with you?"
Because Ji Shuangxing attacked Bai Yinuo, Ji Zihuai's face immediately turned bad and his brows frowned: "Mind your own business."
"Haha, then explain to your father what you have been doing outside for so many years?"
Ji Zihuai was puzzled: "Isn't he going to the banquet?"
As soon as Ji Zihuai finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door.
Everyone looked up and saw a man and a woman coming in from the door. The man was about forty years old and had a strong aura and a kind of imposing manner.
After Ji Minghai entered the villa, his pace quickened unconsciously. When he saw Ji Zihuai in the hall, he immediately shouted, "You unfilial son, you still remember to come back!"
Su Momo approached Bai Yinuo and explained in a low voice: "Wow, this is the chairman of Minghai Group."
Ji Zihuai remained silent for a while and then said, "You didn't tell me to come back."
He traveled all over the country to learn cooking skills, and only returned to Beijing during the holidays. Although he was slow, he could feel that he was a superfluous person in the family. In addition, his father never called him, so he always went to his mother's relatives to celebrate the holidays.
Ji Minghai was choked, and looking at his eldest son with an expressionless face, he almost got internal injuries.
At this moment, Ji Minghai suddenly smelled an enticing fragrance.
He followed the scent and looked towards its source.
It turned out to be the smell of snacks in the hands of three strange young people.
Honey pork jerky is dark red in color, and is evenly coated with honey, fish sauce, sesame oil, fruity rice wine and other ingredients. It turns golden when baked, exuding an enticing meaty aroma and the special caramelized flavor of this cooking method.
The five-spice beef jerky is no less delicious, made with a variety of spices. The combination of various spices exudes a salty and fresh aroma that makes people salivate with the smell.
Ji Minghai couldn't help but move his throat slightly and swallowed.
When he heard the news that his eldest son had returned, he was stunned for a moment, and a strong anger surged in his heart. He immediately left the Chamber of Commerce and drove back with his wife.
He was busy communicating with his partners and had not eaten much so far. He only drank a few glasses of red wine. He could not stand the smell.
There is an exquisite paper bag in front of these young people. From top to bottom, you can see many identical sealed snacks inside the bag.
The paper bag was placed on the coffee table in his house and was brought by someone else. Ji Minghai thought it was something his son had bought, or it was a gift from the three young people.
Ji Minghai obeyed his inner desire, walked around his son and the dog, walked to the table, and picked up the paper bag: "You still have some conscience and know to bring something back. I'm a little hungry, so I'll eat a little."
After Su Momo saw the news, her impression of this business tycoon was shattered. When she saw him trying to snatch her food, her mind went dark. She reached out and held the paper bag, stammering, "No, sorry, these are our snacks."
Ji Minghai: “…”
Ji Minghai withdrew his hand. Although his expression did not show it, he was very shocked inside, as if he had not expected to be rejected at all.
When Ji Shuangxing saw that his father didn't get anything either, his dissatisfaction disappeared a little.
Ji Minghai's tone was full of disbelief, and he looked at Ji Zihuai: "Isn't this for me?"
Ji Zihuai didn't realize anything was wrong and nodded honestly: "This is what we eat."
Ji Minghai's face darkened, and the air was filled with embarrassment.
Bai Yinuo was also affected by this awkward situation and immediately tried to smooth things over: "I'm sorry, I didn't know I was coming to visit you, so I forgot to bring anything. These are the snacks I made, if you don't mind, please accept them."
She didn't want to give the blackback snacks, but this man was her apprentice's family, and she, as a master and also a parent, couldn't neglect him, and there weren't many snacks. She took this paper bag out of her handbag, and there wasn't much in it, only one-tenth of the total amount of snacks.
Ji Minghai was humiliated by his son and realized that he was being sentimental. He was angry and didn't want to talk to anyone. But he smelled the tempting scent in the air, swallowed his saliva, and accepted the paper bag.
He looked at the young man who was speaking, and in his heart he felt some admiration for her. This girl was very pretty, eloquent, and quite pleasing to the eye.
However, at this moment, Ji Shuangxing suddenly interrupted and said, "This is Ji Zihuai's master."
Ji Minghai frowned: "Master? What master?"
After knowing everything, Ji Minghai was furious and said, "You said you took her as your master?"
"You also worked as a cook in her shop?"
"Is her shop still just a small restaurant?"
Ji Minghai was full of doubts and shouted, "Come with me to the study!"
Just then, Ji Zihuai's phone suddenly rang.
Ji Zihuai picked up the phone and nodded continuously: "Uncle Yuan, OK, OK, I'll be right there."
"Dad, if you have any questions, ask them next time."
Ji Zihuai hung up the phone, then looked down at Bai Yinuo: "Let's go first, Uncle Yuan has something urgent to talk to us about."
Bai Yinuo is not afraid of difficulties. Since she has accepted this apprentice, she will not be timid. She has a good temper and wanted to patiently explain to Ji Zihuai's family, but plans cannot keep up with changes, and Ji Zihuai is leaving.
Bai Yinuo was a little confused: "Can I go?"
"I told Uncle Yuan about you, and he said he wanted to meet you."
After hearing Ji Zihuai's words, the other two waiters also followed.
They left the villa, came to the underground garage, and got into Ji Zihuai's car.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Su Momo had a complicated expression on her face and whispered, "Fuck, did you see the expression on Ji Zihuai's father's face when we left? His face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot."
Bai Yinuo recalled Ji Minghai's expression and nodded: "Indeed. Especially when he heard Uncle Yuan, his face was stiff."
Su Momo couldn't help but complain: "It's outrageous, too outrageous. Ji Zihuai is so slow, but he can make his father so angry that he is stunned. Is this a natural nemesis of evil?"
After hearing her words, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Only Ji Zihuai was a little puzzled: "I didn't mean to anger him. It's obviously him who has been causing trouble for me."
Bai Yinuo asked curiously, "You didn't tell your father about our affairs, but told your Uncle Yuan?"
Ji Zihuai nodded and said frankly: "My father doesn't understand these things. He doesn't agree with me being a chef. He gets angry when he hears these things. I don't want to make him angry."
Bai Yinuo and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They could only say that the way this father and son got along was quite strange.
The place Uncle Yuan mentioned was not far away, and we arrived there in more than 20 minutes by car.
Ji Zihuai pointed to the antique building in front of him and said, "This is the restaurant passed down from Uncle Yuan's family."
Su Momo was very surprised: "Wenhuilou, I know it, it's very famous in Beijing. Many people from other places will come here to eat when they come to Beijing. I have also taken pictures here."
Wenhuilou is antique, magnificent and full of ancient charm. Wenhuilou is a famous restaurant in Beijing with hundreds of years of history. It has survived all kinds of storms and is a living history.
Wenhuilou is quiet and has few guests. It is not because the business is bad, but because it is so good that it is hard to get a seat. In order to ensure the quality of the meals, Wenhuilou has implemented a reservation system and does not entertain many guests.
When the waiter saw Ji Zihuai, he obviously recognized him and smiled warmly, then said, "The host is waiting for you on the second floor."
Ji Zihuai skillfully led them to the second floor, stopped in front of a private room, and pushed open a hollow wooden carved door with his hand.
Wenhui Building has a history of 100 years, and the last major renovation was during the Republic of China period. The subsequent renovation was for maintenance, and the basic structure of Wenhui Building was not changed.
The private room is made of wood with intricate textures, exquisite ornaments, verdant plants, and transparent jade, and the air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
When everyone walked into this private room, they couldn't help but feel as if they had traveled through time and space and returned to ancient times.
There were already three people sitting at the table in the center. One of them looked to be in his forties, with a refined temperament, like a teacher. The other two boys were probably in their early twenties, with fair skin, handsome looks, and a lingering childishness on their faces.
When Yuan Wen saw Ji Zihuai, he waved at him: "Xiao Ji, here."
Ji Zihuai quickened his pace: "Uncle Yuan!"
Everyone walked to the table, and Yuan Wen pointed at the people next to him and introduced them: "These are my two apprentices, An Yan and An Qing. You haven't seen them for a long time."
These two people are Yuan Wen's distant nephews, a pair of twins. Due to family changes, there was no one to take care of them, so Yuan Wen became their guardian.
Ji Zihuai nodded: "You two have grown up so much, the last time we met was during the Chinese New Year."
An Yan smiled and said, "We are not young anymore. We are already twenty years old."
An Qing muttered, "Brother Ji, you are only two or three years older than us, but you make it sound like we are much younger than you."
They are fraternal twins, handsome but not alike. An Yan is handsome, while An Qing is more delicate, and it is difficult to tell whether they are male or female.
Yuan Wen smiled and said, "It's almost the New Year, and it's almost been a whole year."
At this time, Yuan Wen looked at Bai Yinuo: "Are you Xiao Ji's master?" There was no trace of contempt in his tone.
This middle-aged man with an elegant temperament left a much better impression on Bai Yinuo than Ji's father.
Bai Yinuo smiled, and her smile became much more sincere: "I am."
After introducing each other, everyone sat down. Bai Yinuo could see that Yuan Wen and Ji Zihuai had a very good relationship, and Ji Zihuai was much more relaxed when facing him than when facing his father.
To put it bluntly, Yuan Wen is more like a father than Ji's father.
After Ji Zihuai and Yuan Wen chatted about their recent situation for a while, he asked curiously, "Uncle, you said you wanted me here for something urgent."
Yuan Wen's hand holding the cup paused slightly.
Actually, he had no urgent business.
He knew that Ji Zihuai and his father had a bad relationship and would quarrel whenever they met, so he called him specifically to help the other party get out of the situation.
Yuan Wen thought for a while and said, "I did have something to ask you to come here, but it's not urgent. You've been in Hai City for too long. When do you plan to return to the capital?"
Ji Zihuai shook his head: "I have no intention of returning to the capital for the time being."
Yuan Wen: "I remember you said that you would come back to work on AI development after you have mastered your skills?"
In fact, Ji Zihuaizhi is not interested in learning cooking or doing business. He wants to engage in artificial intelligence development. He became a chef just to fulfill his mother's last wish.
Ji Zihuai is too young, and his wish to be a top chef is unrealistic. Yuan Wen asked him to go out and encouraged him to learn more, just to let him see the world, feel the beating of society, and understand his own shortcomings. In this way, Ji Zihuai can let go of his obsession and do what he likes with peace of mind.
"I haven't learned it yet." Ji Zihuai said honestly.
Ji Zihuai has been a quick learner since he was young, including cooking. He thought that he would be able to reach the pinnacle of culinary skills in less than ten years, until he met Bai Yinuo, he realized that this idea was wrong.
The longer Ji Zihuai studied with Bai Yinuo, the more he could feel the other person's profound knowledge.
He didn't know when he would be able to learn it, let alone whether he could learn it at all.
"The two are not in conflict." Bai Yinuo said: "People can have a main job or a part-time job. Ji Zihuai can study with me while doing what he wants to do."
Yes, Ji Zihuai suddenly realized.
He wanted to achieve success quickly, so he worked day and night, leaving no time for other things. However, this industry cannot be promoted quickly. One cannot become fat in one go, and one should take it step by step.
"I remember that Professor Wang from the Polytechnic University is a related major. He should have a lot of resources. You can ask him." Bai Yinuo pondered for his apprentice: "There is a guest named Su. It is said that he runs a very powerful technology company with a very professional team and related businesses."
"Okay." Ji Zihuai felt relieved, and he cleared the fog and saw a more promising future.
Although he doesn't like learning cooking, he has developed a habit after learning it for so long. It has become an inseparable part of his life and he cannot give it up easily.
Ji Zihuai had a brainstorming session. If he could develop a cooking machine, it would free everyone's hands and allow more ancient dishes to enter thousands of households.
This was not a difficult task for him. He had relevant development experience and his family was also in the electrical appliance business. He had the right timing, location and people. If he was given time, he would be able to develop it sooner or later.
Yuan Wen had a headache. Ji Zihuai was an idealist, and his master seemed to be an idealist as well.
But young people really should give it a try.
It's just a pity for my two disciples.
The reason why he took the trouble to teach An Yan and An Qing and taught them his life's skills was not only because he loved them, but also for Ji Zihuai.
He wanted to pave a smooth path for Ji Zihuai and leave a way out for him.
You can't make much money from technology, and you only work when you are young. Xinghuazhai is now in the hands of Ji Zihuai's uncle, and it doesn't belong to Ji Zihuai. Ji Zihuai is not good at business, and Minghai Electric Appliances is not his.
Yuan Wen spent so much effort and prepared so many things for Ji Zihuai.
But Ji Zihuai has no plans to have it now, and he still doesn't know.
If Ji Zihuai didn't return to the capital for a long time, everything he had prepared would be useless.
Yuan Wen sighed and mentioned the two apprentices: "By the way, they are also going to participate in the food-hunting night."
The reason why Yuan Wen didn't look down on Bai Yinuo like Ji's father because of his age was because of the contribution of the Taste Night. Yuan Wen knew that this person's cooking skills should not be underestimated. Although he was younger than Ji Zihuai, he was definitely worthy of being Ji Zihuai's teacher.
An Yan nodded: "Yes, we are participating in the Beijing competition area."
Bai Yinuo: "We are participating in the Hai City Division."
An Qing said enthusiastically: "I remember you. I watched the game and you had a lot of shots, all in the front. I really hope to compete with you once."
Bai Yinuo smiled and said, "Okay, there will be a chance."
