"Director Li, thank you so much for your help."
Upon hearing Director Li's words, Lin Sen instantly felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of Director Li's promise, not only Tang Laogou and Brother Biao, but also the people behind them, wouldn't dare to do anything to Lin Sen for the time being!
Because Director Li is the director of the Linhai County Bureau of Commerce, he is one of the most powerful figures in Linhai County.
And the background behind Director Li is something no one dares to underestimate.
After all, Old Li is still alive and well.
Even when provincial and municipal leaders come to Linhai, their first stop is not to go to the Linhai compound to work, but to visit Old Li!
"Don't worry, you've helped me so much, this is just what I should do."
Director Li smiled and patted Lin Sen on the shoulder.
As long as Old Master Li is happy with his meal, he will naturally take care of this small matter properly for Lin Sen. For him, serving Old Master Li well is the most important thing!
"Then, Director Li, I'll get right on it."
After receiving Director Li's promise, Lin Sen immediately rolled up his sleeves and looked at Old Li beside him: "Old Li, do you still like spicy food?"
"OK."
Old Li immediately responded with a smile, "Spicy? Delicious, flavorful!"
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Lin Sen smiled and said, "Mr. Li, there's a lot of oil and smoke in the kitchen. Why don't you go back to the banquet hall and wait for a while?"
"It's alright."
"This old man isn't afraid of any cooking fumes."
Old Li looked at Lin Sen with great interest: "You do your thing, don't worry about me!"
"Okay, then."
"Then I'll make you laugh at me."
After hearing what Elder Li said, Lin Sen immediately took action.
Farewell My Concubine is a dish that is very common in later generations, but few people had eaten it in 1984. It is a rare and highly nutritious dish.
The usual version of Farewell My Concubine uses soft-shelled turtle as the main ingredient.
Lin Sen's "Farewell My Concubine" dish today uses an extremely rare and precious giant soft-shelled turtle as its raw material.
So this is the story of Farewell My Concubine.
More to come!
"Splash!"
Because Lao Song and his team had prepared various seasonings in advance, Lin Sen first stir-fried the prepared side dishes such as scallions, garlic, onions, shiitake mushrooms, dried bean curd sticks, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, celery, ginger slices, and bay leaves until they were fragrant.
Then Lin Sen first poured the marinated chicken pieces directly into the pot and started stir-frying!
The ingredients used in Farewell My Concubine are very particular.
Aside from the large turtle, the best chicken to use is a local free-range chicken.
Only free-range chickens have the right flavor and are worthy of the meat of a big turtle!
Only then can the dish "Farewell My Concubine" have the flavor of both turtle and chicken!
Because ordinary chickens, especially those grown using industrial methods, have a very bland chicken flavor.
The Farewell My Concubine dish made with this type of chicken doesn't have much meat in it.
It will overpower the flavor!
The essence of "Farewell My Concubine" lies in the combination of chicken and turtle flavors, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, with both chicken and turtle flavors!
In later generations, it would be difficult to find free-range chickens fed only grains.
Careful selection is needed to avoid being fooled by artificially ripened or frozen chicken.
But in 1984, there was no such worry.
These days, food doesn't rely on much technology; it's mostly all-natural.
The vegetables also have very few pesticides and are all purely organic.
You can use it with confidence.
"Splash!"
After the chicken pieces were almost cooked, Lin Sen poured the chopped turtle meat directly into the pot and continued to stir-fry it.
Because Mr. Li loves spicy food, Lin Sen deliberately added a lot of chili peppers.
Stir-fry with extra chili!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh".
Instantly, the rich aroma of spiciness filled the entire kitchen.
"Achoo, Auntie."
Achoo!
Manager Zhao, Lao Song, and Director Li, who couldn't handle spicy food, all started sneezing under the influence of the spiciness.
"fragrant!"
Mr. Li, who loves spicy food, had his eyes light up when he smelled the strong spiciness, and felt very comfortable.
"Brother Lin, you're really amazing."
Old Song, standing to the side, looked at Lin Sen with great admiration as he watched the boiling chicken pieces and turtle meat in the pot, along with a pot full of chili peppers.
Because Lin Sen's "Farewell My Concubine" was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
It looks incredibly delicious.
His version of Farewell My Concubine was far inferior to Lin Sen's.
"Splash!"
Then, amidst Lao Song's muttering, Lin Sen poured the spring water directly into the pot and began to stew it.
About thirty minutes later.
After trying the chicken and turtle meat to make sure they were cooked until tender and flavorful, I decided to try them.
Lin Sen used a large spoon to scoop them into the bowl.
"Old Li, it's all better now."
Lin Sen smiled and looked at Old Li, who had been standing to the side watching for nearly an hour.
"well!"
"Then let's set the table and start eating!"
Seeing Lin Sen's rendition of "Farewell My Concubine," Old Li was now quite interested and his appetite was whetted.
"Bring it to the table quickly."
Manager Zhao, who was standing nearby, immediately gave a wink to the waitress at Huifu Hotel.
"yes."
The waiter was very perceptive and quickly served the dishes.
"Uncle, let's go to the private room."
Director Li smiled and looked at Old Li.
"good."
Old Li nodded slightly.
"Xiaolin, come with me."
As he turned to leave the kitchen, Old Li called out to Lin Sen.
"Mr. Li, today is a gathering of leaders. I'm just an ordinary citizen. It's not appropriate for me to go."
Lin Sen immediately walked quickly to Old Li's side, looking at him respectfully: "I'll keep an eye on you in the kitchen, you can eat."
