張國慶開着飛快，眼看快到紡織廠，往前一看。得，看到前面他們還在慢吞吞的走着，這是打算到年底再吃了。
張國慶慢慢降下車速，開到後面喊道：“媽，程姨，我們把左嬸子給請來了，你們快上車。”
車子停在他們邊上，林麗珊和程紅麗直接上來了。
"Hey, Aunt Cheng, don't just laugh. Where are you planning to eat? I've never heard of it. Uncle Dashan isn't taking us to the provincial capital, is he? This is the way to the provincial capital."
Cheng Hongli finally managed to stop laughing, but she burst out laughing again. "Drive forward, I'll show you the way. It's not far, just enter from the path ahead."
"This is a master who doesn't show his true colors. He's hiding so deeply. Is he the descendant of one of the royal chefs or something?"
Cheng Hongli smiled at the two people beside her and said, "Listen, you guys, you're smart, right? You guessed it all. Xiaowu, guess again, what do you know that store's specialty?"
"I'm best at carving, but it's not practical here. As a master, I always want to simplify things. I don't know how to make cabbage and tofu, do I?"
Cheng Hongli pointed in shock, "Have you been here before? Tell the truth."
"I've never been here before. Do you know your ancestor Cheng Yaojin? He used just three moves: one axe to the left, one to the right, and one to the middle, and he rose to the rank of Duke. Those imperial chefs, how do they simplify their cabbages? They stew old hens for days and nights, then peel the cabbages until only the hearts are left. Then, they use the broth from the hen that's been stewed for days and nights as the base of the soup and add a few cabbage hearts. My God, this is the highest pursuit of imperial chefs. Why bother? They might as well just give us the old hens and the soup."
After that, they burst into laughter, and Cheng Hongli nodded with joy. "Xiao Wuxing, what delicious food do you want him to make later?
Zhang Guoqing looked helplessly at the madwoman behind him and said wistfully, "My ultimate pursuit is to drink flying dragon soup, stew bear paws, roast venison, and drink that sour foreign wine. Even the imperial chef can't pull that off."
Haha... There was laughter again in the car, with everyone shouting "ouch, ouch" and falling sideways in the back seat.
Aunt Zuo laughed so hard she told Zhang Guoqing to stop talking, her stomach aching from laughing. She leaned against Lin Lishan, slapping her thigh. Cheng Hongli laughed so hard she wiped her tears and cried out, "Ouch, ouch!" Lin Lishan laughed so hard her shoulders shook, and she held her hands to her stomach.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at our destination. Please maintain your composure and manners, and don't smile when you see Bai Caixin." After saying that, he got out of the car first and waited for Zhou Xiaozheng and others to come over.
Zhou Xiaozheng and the others came over and took a look. Zhao Dashan couldn't help but ask, "Xiaowu, why were you laughing so happily just now?"
Zhang Guoqing looked at him sadly and sighed, "I don't know what they are laughing at. Why don't you ask them?"
Zhao Dashan waited for the people in the car to get off and led everyone inside. The yard was also a very ordinary yard. The only special thing was that the east and west wing rooms were converted into private rooms, with an eight-immortal table and a large kang.
After entering and taking a seat, Zhang Guoqing noticed that there were quite a few people eating there. He hadn't noticed before, so he brought Jiaojiao here when he had time. He didn't ask Zhao Dashan why the place was still open. Considering the remote location and the fact that it was open so late at night, it was impossible for even these two to know without some skill and connections.
A chubby old man wearing a white bib came in with a smile on his face. One look at his figure revealed that he was the cook. He shouted loudly, "What a rare guest! How come you are all free to come here today? What would you like to eat? I will personally go to the kitchen and cook two of my specialties."
Zhao Dashan looked at everyone and said, "Besides what you are good at, what else are there? Tell us."
"Today we have deer roe, how about roasting them? We also have wild boar and other game."
Cheng Hongli said with a smile: "Is there any Feilong soup?"
Aunt Zuo and Lin Lishan burst into laughter. Aunt Zuo asked loudly, "Are there any more bear paws?"
The chubby old man was baffled by the laughter. "I really don't have any of that. How about cabbage heart in broth?"
Haha… The three of them burst out laughing again. Zhao Dashan said apologetically to the old man, "I think you've thought of something interesting. You can bring it up. Bring us more wild game, and give us two jars of sorghum wine and one jar of fruit wine."
After the fat old man left, Zhao Dashan hurriedly asked what was going on and whether there was anything happy that he wanted to tell everyone. Zhang Guoqing quietly got up and quickly slipped away.
After leaving the room and entering the kitchen, I saw the fat old man preparing food. There were several other people busy inside. Seeing Zhang Guoqing, the fat old man came over and said, "Have you thought of something delicious? Just order and I'll cook it for you."
"You should cook it yourself. An amateur won't order the expert. You can serve some of the dishes, whether stewed, roasted, fried or stir-fried. Old man, when they come out to pay the bill later, don't accept it. It's my treat today, so wait for me."
"Okay, look at the ingredients there, just tell me what you want to eat."
"What's your name, old man? Judging from your demeanor, you must be the heir of the imperial chef. I've never been to your place before. What a pity! I should have come here earlier."
The fat old man said proudly: "My family is really the heir of the royal chef. My surname is Pang, and everyone calls me Fat Old Man. From now on, you can come to me for whatever you want to eat."
"Grandpa, do you have any nourishing soups or dishes for confinement? They're mainly for boosting vitality and treating physical weakness. Can I eat something like venison? I've been eating it all day long, and it's tasteless, and you can't add salt. Show me some skills. The baby's still nursing."
"We cook it fresh. You can order the ingredients you like and I'll make it for you. We usually have light and nourishing dishes with less oil and salt. Soups are the main choice, such as wolfberry, yam, wolfberry and pork tripe soup, ginseng, astragalus, red dates and pigeon soup, and yam, red dates and pork ribs soup. If it's fish, stewed with tofu is the best. See what your wife likes."
Zhang Guoqing knew what was going on. They were basically ready to eat. "Ginseng, Astragalus, Red Dates, and Pigeon Soup. This is great! I'm tired of old hens and pig's trotters. And look at the desserts besides the donkey-hide gelatin and white fungus. Stew one for me, too. One sweet and one salty. I'll take them when I leave. Is it too late? Fat Chef, let me take the cups. I'll give you a deposit and bring them back to you later."
The fat chef smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll make two nourishing soups first. You can let your wife taste them. If it's good, come back next time."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Fatty. You're so careful. I'll go back to the room first. Don't charge them until I come back. Serve a few cold dishes and let everyone drink first." Zhang Guoqing reminded him again with concern. Seeing him nod, he returned to the room.
Everyone in the room was chatting, and they were all happy to see him come in. Zhao Dashan joked, "Xiao Wu, did you find the bear paw?"
Zhang Guoqing bowed and said with a smile, "I went to the kitchen to see if there was anything delicious. The room was full. Business is really good. Uncle Dashan, you are really good at finding places. You also found this place."
"Did you see anything delicious?"
"I asked the fat chef to stir-fry, stew, pan-fry, and roast everything, and also some wild game. It's a rare occasion for my parents and two uncles and aunts to get together, so you should have a good meal tonight. I'll treat you, so don't argue with me. Here, eat the cold dishes first, and the hot dishes will be served soon." Zhang Guoqing helped the waiter bring the pig ears and braised pork to the table, and deliberately placed the braised pork and cold cucumbers in front of Lin Lishan and the others, and poured wine for everyone.
