The Imperial Chef's Restaurant
Customers who failed to get the sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs left messages in the comment section, expressing their grievances in the comments.
"I saw 30 servings of osmanthus wine on the page a second ago, but it was gone after I refreshed the page. I even doubt whether the boss really put 30 servings of osmanthus wine on the shelf. The old people's hand speed really can't afford it."
"Woman, I'll give you one day. I want to see another thirty servings of fermented rice balls."
"Boss, please don't be ungrateful, or I'll kneel down and beg you."
While many guests were shedding tears of envy, others who had grabbed the osmanthus wine-fermented meatballs could not help but feel proud.
Zhang Ke commented: "I got two servings of sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs, but I think two servings of wine meatballs are not enough. Little boy, you're eating me out of money, and the wine meatballs are not enough to fill my teeth."
Those who didn't get a ticket couldn't help but sneered when they saw Zhang Ke's comments.
"You're fighting wits and courage with the air, and those who didn't get anything are just watching you quietly."
"Is this Versailles? Love it."
When Zhang Ke saw that others thought he was showing off, he immediately explained that he was not showing off, but really thought so. He then responded to the comments one after another and responded to everyone's comments.
Zhang Ke's comments piled up like a building and were pushed to the top of the comment section, where they were just seen by Bai Yinuo.
It's not that Bai Yinuo doesn't want to put a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs online, but she and Ji Zihuai can't make too many. Wine and meatballs are all handmade, without any machines. Each step takes a lot of time and effort, and can't be done overnight.
Bai Yinuo thought for a moment, organized his words, and replied to Zhang Ke's comment: "I'm sorry, all the dishes in our restaurant are handmade. Due to limited manpower and materials, there are only so many finished products."
After seeing Bai Yinuo's comment, Zhang Ke was so happy about being picked that he replied, "Boss, I can help you. Although I don't know how to make sweet-scented osmanthus wine balls, I have a lot of pocket money. I can go to the Internet cafe less often and save money to buy ingredients for you."
The comment section is refreshed in real time, and many guests saw Zhang Ke's comments.
Their first reaction to the comment was surprise.
When Wen Yuhang came to this restaurant, he found that the customers of this restaurant were very loyal. No, "loyal" is not enough to describe the customers of Baiji Restaurant. In ordinary restaurants, customers will not take the initiative to ask the boss to spend more money to eat.
When the other guests saw Zhang Ke's comments, they were very surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it made a lot of sense.
If they could eat such delicious dishes every day, they would be willing to provide the ingredients!
They responded to Bai Yinuo's comment: "Boss, I have money, don't worry about going to the farmers' market, that's the kingdom I fought for you, I will reimburse you."
"Woman, this is the black card I stole, spend it as you like."
Bai Yinuo looked at the increasingly strange comments from the guests: "..."
Bai Yinuo rubbed his temple helplessly, and then posted a comment: "You don't have to buy ingredients for me, I won't spend your money. In fact, I can make more sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs, but the customers all said that the sweet-scented osmanthus in the store smells good. I don't want to damage the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard too much, so I didn't pick too many sweet-scented osmanthus. Because there are many people who buy wine in the restaurant, I won't be partial and put too many wine meatballs on the takeaway shelf. Thirty servings are already the limit."
After seeing Bai Yinuo's reply, the guests kept waiting in the comment section, hoping that Bai Yinuo would change his mind.
However, Bai Yinuo is a very determined person. Once she makes up her mind, she will not change easily and will not listen to other people's advice. In her previous life, she was able to stand out among many chefs and reach the pinnacle of cooking because of her determination. After all, learning to cook is a very tiring and difficult thing.
Zhang Ke tried to persuade Bai Yinuo for a long time, but the other party was as hard as iron and showed no sign of changing his mind.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Bai Yinuo at all, he had to put down his phone and turned to complain to Li Fengze next to him: "The boss said that he was reluctant to move the osmanthus tree in the backyard, so he won't put too many fermented glutinous rice balls on the shelf. This means that we could have eaten more fermented glutinous rice balls!"
After hearing what Zhang Ke said, Li Fengze pinched his chin, thinking for a while, and said: "...I remember the osmanthus flowers in our school are blooming too."
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Zhang Ke's eyes lit up when he heard what Li Fengze said. He and Li Fengze looked at each other, and the smile on his face grew wider and wider, reaching the corners of his mouth.
……………………
Teacher Ma is the director of political education at Haishi No. 2 Middle School and is responsible for handling student disciplinary issues.
Teacher Ma has a square face and looks dignified. He is usually serious and full of authority.
Once, he found a young couple and asked them some questions. Before he opened his mouth, the two people opposite him were frightened and immediately cried and shouted in unison that they wanted to break up immediately and never see each other again.
The young couple turned around and saw that the other had slid to his knees so quickly, and they were so angry.
Before Teacher Ma could scold them, the two of them started arguing, saying that the other's words of loving him/her were all lies.
Teacher Ma: “…”
With his fear-inspiring power, Teacher Ma left a great reputation in Haishi No. 2 Middle School and was affectionately called "Horse Face" by the students.
Today, Teacher Ma discovered something very strange. There was a cup of milk tea on the desks of the female teachers in the office.
The milk tea bottle is transparent, and the contents are crystal clear, the osmanthus flowers are bright yellow, and the meatballs are like white jade.
Teacher Ma's mother makes fermented glutinous rice. As soon as Teacher Ma saw what was on their table, he knew it was fermented glutinous rice balls.
Upon asking, it turned out to be true.
A female teacher heard him ask and thought he wanted to drink, so she handed Teacher Ma a cup of fermented rice balls.
"Teacher Ma, you should try this rice wine meatball, it tastes really good. The rice wine meatballs in this store are selling very well. If you go too late, you won't be able to buy them at all."
"This... isn't good. So you don't have anything to drink?"
The female teacher shook her head: "I've had enough, two cups."
After hearing what the female teacher said, Teacher Ma asked curiously, "Didn't you say you wanted to lose weight recently?"
The female teacher smiled and said, "How can I have the energy to lose weight if I don't eat enough? Besides, I can't teach my students well if I don't have energy. I have to be responsible for my students."
Teacher Ma: “…”Is she really not making excuses?
Teacher Ma looked at his watch and it was time for patrol, so he thanked the female teacher, took the cup of fermented rice balls away and left the office.
Teacher Ma looked at the fermented rice balls in his hand and felt amazed. The closer he got to them, the more he realized that the rice balls were well made.
His mother made fermented glutinous rice, so he knew a lot about it. Traditional fermented glutinous rice was fermented from glutinous rice, so it was inevitably turbid. However, the cup of fermented glutinous rice in his hand was very clean and clear, showing a light and elegant milky white color.
Just when Mr. Ma was about to use a straw to poke the fermented rice balls in his hand, he suddenly heard a noise in front of him and paused.
He followed the movement and curiously found the source. When he saw the scene, his pupils couldn't help but tremble.
As an old and famous school, Haishi No.2 Middle School has done a good job in greening. The school not only has plum blossoms, magnolias, peach blossoms, and pear blossoms, but also a huge osmanthus tree. In September, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and this osmanthus tree is also in bloom, filling the entire campus with a rich and pleasant fragrance.
These days, when Teacher Ma patrols the campus every night, he smells this refreshing fragrance and cares a lot about this osmanthus tree.
Now, a student has grown out of this huge osmanthus tree like a fruit. The boy climbed up the tree flexibly like a monkey. He stopped halfway up. He took the bag and picked the osmanthus flowers with his hands while putting them into the bag.
The boy's movements were neat and cool, and people wanted to shout out to him. During the break, the boy's tree climbing behavior attracted many students. They shouted "Wow!" and called out to their friends: "Look, someone is climbing a tree!"
When Mr. Ma saw this scene, he felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to his face. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He shouted loudly: "What are you doing!"
Li Fengze was watching the wind beside the osmanthus tree, and Zhang Ke was standing on it to climb the tree. After they heard what Teacher Ma said, their minds went blank and they froze.
Why is the Director of Political and Educational Affairs/Horse-faced Man here?
After a chaotic scene, the crowd dispersed like birds and beasts when they saw Teacher Ma, leaving two people alone. Zhang Ke climbed down the tree and stood opposite Teacher Ma with Li Fengze. The two of them lowered their heads like quails and didn't speak.
Teacher Ma was furious and anxious. As a teacher, he was very dissatisfied with the students' behavior: "Who told you to climb a tree? Are you trying to save your life? Have you ever thought about what would happen if you fell from the tree?"
Zhang Ke whispered, "I have been able to climb trees since I was a child. I have climbed all the trees in the back mountain of my hometown. My friends all call me the Monkey King."
Teacher Ma: "...those who drowned were all good swimmers!"
Teacher Ma scolded them harshly. Zhang Ke and Li Fengze looked like banana trees ravaged by a violent storm, and they looked completely wilted.
"Each of you must write me a 3,000-word self-review, and I will notify your parents. If I see you climbing a tree again, I will severely punish you. Next time, it won't be as simple as writing a self-review."
Zhang Ke and Li Fengze said weakly, "Okay."
Teacher Ma took the bag from Zhang Ke and opened it to see the golden osmanthus flowers inside. Teacher Ma's hands trembled slightly and he said in disbelief, "You climbed the tree just to pick osmanthus flowers?"
Zhang Ke nodded.
"What are you picking osmanthus flowers for?"
"This is because..." Zhang Ke said shyly, "Baiji Restaurant is out of fresh osmanthus flowers, and we have no osmanthus wine balls to drink."
Teacher Ma: “…” I have never heard such a speechless thing in my life.
Teacher Ma said sarcastically: "A cup of fermented rice balls can make you risk your life to climb a tree? This is not a fermented rice ball, it is gold. This restaurant is really harmful to people."
Who knew that Zhang Ke not only did not feel ashamed, but nodded seriously: "Food is the most important thing for people. Sweet osmanthus wine can be drunk, but gold cannot be eaten. I think sweet osmanthus wine balls are more important than gold."
Zhang Ke whispered, "I think it's a waste if we don't eat the things in school. The pomegranate trees, pear trees, and peach trees produce so many fruits every year, but they are not given to students to eat, so they all rot in the fields. I didn't touch anything else. I just wanted to pick some osmanthus flowers."
Teacher Ma felt like she was about to turn into a pufferfish: "You dare to talk back to me? Fine, add another 3,000 words of self-review."
When Zhang Ke heard that the number of words in the self-criticism had doubled, he suddenly dared not speak. He looked at the osmanthus flowers in Teacher Ma's hand, his heart filled with tears. He had been picking osmanthus flowers for so long, and now they were all gone.
The osmanthus wine-fermented meatballs also grew wings and flew away.
………………………………
After this incident, Mr. Ma was in no mood to drink the sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs in his hand. After get off work, he returned home and put his bag on the table, and then he noticed that he still had a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs to drink.
Teacher Ma did not associate this cup of osmanthus wine-fermented rice balls with the wine-fermented rice balls that Zhang Ke mentioned. After all, the surrounding milk tea shops all sell wine-fermented rice balls, which is not surprising.
He casually placed the osmanthus wine meatballs on the table and went back to his room to help his daughter with her homework.
Teacher Ma’s mother is the cafeteria auntie at Haishi No. 2 Middle School. Because the cafeteria is open for a long time, Ma’s mother gets off work later and follows Teacher Ma in.
As soon as Ma's mother entered the room, she saw the osmanthus wine-soaked meatballs on the table.
Ma's mother was a little unhappy, so she raised her voice and shouted at the door: "Son, don't we have a lot of fermented rice at home? Why did you buy more? Do you think the rice I made is not delicious?"
In the past, Ma's mother might not care. But recently, for some reason, not only Li Fengze, but also other students, after buying a cup of fermented rice balls at their window and taking a sip, they couldn't help but frown, looking displeased.
Ma's mother heard them say, "After I tried the sweet-scented osmanthus fermented rice balls, I think the fermented rice balls in the cafeteria are really unpalatable."
"I used to think the rice wine balls in the cafeteria were okay, but there is no harm without comparison. Now I can't drink this glass of rice wine anymore."
Although they spoke in low voices, whispering, Ma's mother heard it.
Are you kidding? She used to be a professional in making fermented rice wine. When she was young, she was called the fermented rice wine beauty. She supported her whole family by selling fermented rice wine.
Ma's mother was very angry, so she pulled a classmate over to ask which restaurant made better fermented rice wine meatballs than hers.
The student stammered and gave the name of Bai Ji Restaurant.
Ma's mother looked at the cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs and thought of the anger she had suffered from her students. Her mood became very bad. She immediately snorted and decided not to go to the square dance this weekend. She wanted to go and see who the Baiji Restaurant was.
This cup of rice wine meatballs reminded Ma's mother of bad memories. Bai's Restaurant was still far away, but the cup of rice wine meatballs was right in front of her, so Ma's mother couldn't help but want to try it.
Ma's mother then went to her granddaughter's room and asked Teacher Ma, "Did you buy this cup of fermented rice wine? Do you still want to drink it?"
"One plus one equals two, not eleven." Teacher Ma pointed to the exercise book on the table and told his daughter.
After listening to Teacher Ma's words, my daughter nodded obediently, her voice still in her baby voice, and said solemnly: "I understand!"
Teacher Ma nodded with satisfaction, and then saw that his daughter had written “one plus one equals eleven” in her exercise book.
Teacher Ma took a deep breath and comforted himself not to be impulsive. The child was his own and he could not be beaten or scolded.
At this time, he heard his mother's question, so he said: "Mom, I'm helping my child with homework. That cup of fermented rice balls was given to me by my colleague. I'm not in the mood to drink it now. If you want to drink it, you can drink it."
Ma's mother then picked up the straw, casually opened the cup of osmanthus wine, and took a sip.
As the sweet-scented osmanthus wine took a sip, her eyes couldn't help but widen. It was delicious!
Experts know the tricks. Ma's mother has been making fermented glutinous rice for her whole life and knows the method very well. The first note of this fermented glutinous rice is the fragrance of flowers, the middle note is the fragrance of wine, and the base note is the fragrance of rice.
The characteristic of fermented glutinous rice is the bitter taste of fermentation, which some people like very much, while others hate. The glutinous rice made by Ma Mu is authentic, and because of local customs, they are used to drinking this authentic traditional glutinous rice.
In her eyes, the original traditional fermented rice wine she made was the best. Most of the fancy fermented rice wines on the market were made with cooking bags. She had tried them and found them to be very bland and cheap, not as mellow as the ones she made by hand. When students said that the traditional fermented rice wine she made was not tasty, she felt that they had no taste.
However, this cup of glutinous rice wine changed Ma's mother's mind. Although this cup of glutinous rice wine was not the traditional glutinous rice wine balls, the fermented wine flavor was much lighter, the aroma was elegant, and the texture was mellower.
This is different from the homemade wine made by Ma's mother, but it tastes good. After taking a sip, Ma's mother fell in love with the taste of this osmanthus wine.
"The chef's cooking is really wonderful!" Ma's mother thought to herself, "If the students were drinking this cup of fermented rice balls, it would be normal for them to like it. Even a picky person like me thinks it tastes good, let alone them."
After tutoring his daughter, Teacher Ma left her room, took a deep breath, and felt like he had been saved from the brink of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Even though he is a person working in the education industry, he has to say that tutoring children of this age with their homework is really terrible!
Teacher Ma cleared his throat and was about to pour a glass of water, but found that his mother was drinking osmanthus wine meatballs with a very satisfied look on her face.
Teacher Ma went to pour a glass of water and said curiously while drinking it, "Mom, don't you dislike drinking the fermented rice wine outside? Because you think the fermented rice wine outside is not as delicious as yours, and it is sold at a higher price than yours."
Ma's mother put down the sweet-scented osmanthus wine-fermented meatballs in her hand, looking a little embarrassed: "It's... quite delicious. Oh, are you annoying? Don't mind my business. By the way, where did your colleague buy this cup of wine-fermented meatballs?"
"I don't know, I'll ask tomorrow."
It was the first time that Teacher Ma heard Ma's mother praise the fermented rice wine meatballs sold outside, and he took Ma's mother's words very seriously.
In the office, teachers would chat when they didn't have classes.
Teacher Ma couldn't help but talk about what happened yesterday and told all the teachers about Zhang Ke climbing the tree.
"This is too dangerous. I don't know what these kids are thinking."
When the other teachers heard about this, they were also very worried. They were relieved after hearing that Zhang Ke was fine.
Teacher Ma said, "Isn't that strange? The student said he picked osmanthus flowers to make fermented rice balls for a restaurant. What was the name of the restaurant? Oh, right, Baiji Restaurant. This restaurant is really harmful to people."
As soon as Mr. Ma finished speaking, he suddenly remembered what his mother had told him, so he asked his female colleague, "Where did you buy the sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs you bought yesterday? This is the first time I've seen my mother like a drink so much."
When the female teacher heard Teacher Ma say that Baiji Restaurant was harmful to people, she was confused: "...The name of that restaurant is, it's called Baiji Restaurant."
Teacher Ma: “…”
……………………………………
Li Yue walked into Bai Ji Restaurant on an ordinary day at an ordinary time. From then on, she felt that her life was no longer ordinary. She found the meaning of life besides making money - eating!
Since she entered Bai Ji Restaurant, she has come here every day, more enthusiastically than punching in at work.
Li Yue is the agent of the female star Shen Yanyan, but Shen Yanyan is not very famous. She can't even be called a female star. She is just an unknown person with less than a hundred fans. She doesn't even need to disguise herself when walking on the street.
Li Yue was arranged by the company to be Shen Yanyan's agent, but she refused in her heart. Although she had little experience, she knew that being an agent for an unknown person had no future and no money.
But Shen Yanyan was a good person, which made Li Yue like her, so she stayed. She comforted herself that Shen Yanyan looked pure and pretty, and she might become famous in the future.
Recently, the company gave Shen Yanyan a script for a web drama in which she plays the second female lead. Li Yue and Shen Yanyan are very happy. Maybe Shen Yanyan can become famous with this web drama!
Li Yue had good ideas, but the facts were different from what she imagined. Shen Yanyan performed poorly and kept doing NGs, slowing down the progress of the entire crew.
In the lounge, Shen Yanyan kept wiping away tears: "I was too nervous. When the camera was pointed at me, my mind went blank. I practiced well at school and at home, but I failed as soon as I got to the scene."
Li Yue sighed. This was Shen Yanyan's first time officially joining the crew, and it was normal for her to be nervous when facing multiple cameras.
But it was useless for Li Yue to understand. The crew members didn't understand. Now the whole crew was impatient with Shen Yanyan, and even felt that she got in with the help of the sponsor and had no real ability. I heard that the director was already discussing with the investors about replacing Shen Yanyan.
Li Yue approached the director to talk, but the director refused directly: "Don't think I'm casual just because I'm shooting a web drama. My requirements are very high. It's not that I don't give Shen Yanyan a chance, but she still hasn't adjusted to her state after so many days. I can't let the entire crew wait for her."
Li Yuejian couldn't persuade the director no matter what. She wanted to cry with Shen Yanyan. It seemed that this opportunity was gone.
The entertainment industry is small, and you can't offend anyone. Li Yue wanted to part ways amicably and give a gift to the crew. When Li Yue was thinking, the name of Baiji Restaurant suddenly popped up in her mind. For her, the dishes of Baiji Restaurant are the most precious gifts. If someone gave them to her, she would be overjoyed. So Li Yue went to Baiji Restaurant and packed many osmanthus wine meatballs and returned to the crew.
"Thank you all for taking care of Yanyan these days. You have all worked hard. Let's have a cup of wine-fermented meatballs. It's my treat."
The director already wanted to fire Shen Yanyan, and he was filled with resistance when faced with Li Yue's sugar-coated bullets.
"Why did you buy these things? Don't try to bribe me. I won't change my mind. I won't drink what you bought."
Li Yue did not give up. She reached out and handed a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs to the director: "Director, this cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine meatballs is slightly warm. Drink it while it's hot. Now is the best time to enjoy it."
After Li Yue finished speaking, she went to distribute osmanthus wine meatballs to other stage staff, not giving the director time to refuse.
The director was about to ask Li Yue to stop, but when his eyes caught sight of the osmanthus wine meatballs in his hand, he was stunned.
This cup of osmanthus wine meatballs... looks so good.
As a director, he has a high aesthetic sense and a very discerning eye. This cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine is impeccable. The wine is clear, the balls are round, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is golden.
The director didn't know how much this cup of osmanthus wine-fermented meatballs would cost, but he had already given it a high price tag in his mind.
Because the director had such a good first impression of the wine-fermented meatballs, he decided to give it a try even though he was not planning to drink it.
It won't hurt to try it anyway.
Under the visual impact, he forgot what he had just said "I will definitely not drink it" and picked up the straw to poke open the package.
He took a sip of the osmanthus wine, and the perfect sweetness and wine flavor went straight to his taste buds, whetting his appetite.
The director's throat rolled and he took a big sip. Because the meatballs were not liquid like fermented rice, they stayed in his mouth. The director tried to chew the meatballs, and a pure glutinous rice fragrance burst in his mouth, making him feel as if he was in a rice field, with golden rice all over his eyes and the tip of his nose filled with the elegant rice fragrance.
Because the main component of glutinous rice is starch, it will break down into maltose after chewing, giving people a light sweetness.
"This meatball is delicious!" The director chewed the meatball in his mouth. The more he chewed, the more he could smell the strong rice aroma. He couldn't stop eating the meatballs at all.
The director kept sucking the meatballs from the cup with a straw, and soon the cup was empty.
After a while, the director looked at the empty bottom of the cup, and he was still not satisfied. How could it be gone so quickly? He hadn't had enough!
The glutinous rice balls are fragrant, soft, refreshing and smooth, with a soft and chewy texture.
Because the glutinous rice balls were gone, he felt like his happiness was gone too!
