Chapter 87 Shen Yu Gains Knowledge
When the food was ready, Zhao Suying walked into the courtyard and reminded, "The food will be ready soon. Please take the two young masters to their seats first."
The two followed the others into the main room, and after sitting down, their eyes were immediately attracted by the table in front of them.
Shen Yu raised his hand and touched the small table top, and found that it could actually rotate. He was as curious as a child seeing a toy.
I felt excited when I thought about the uses of this kind of table.
"No... this table... was it Miss Wanyue who came up with it?"
"Yes." Li Dachuan's tone was full of pride.
Shen Yu was so shocked that he was speechless. What kind of brain could come up with such an ingenious design? ! Whatever dish you want to eat, it will be delivered directly to you. It is so convenient.
At this time, ten dishes and two soups were served.
The table was big enough, but we were afraid that the children would feel uncomfortable sitting there, so we set up another table in the yard.
Sweet and sour spare ribs, spicy diced chicken, boiled fish, twice-cooked pork, braised spring bamboo shoots, mapo tofu, hot and sour shredded potatoes, lotus root with glutinous rice and osmanthus, preserved egg with ginger juice, cold wild vegetables, two-color egg custard, red yam puree, mushroom chicken soup, rice wine, egg drop and wolfberry sweet soup.
Xie Yan looked at the dishes on the table. Not only did they taste delicious, but the presentation was also beautiful. He then looked at Li Wanyue, whose face was rosy from cooking, and a strange feeling passed through his heart.
Shen Yu smelled the rich fragrance and closed his mouth tightly, for he was afraid that his saliva would flow out if he spoke.
Li Youshan smiled and said, "Mr. Xie, Mr. Shen, here are some home-cooked dishes. I hope you don't mind."
Xie Yan nodded politely: "Thank you, uncle."
Zhao Suying followed up and said, "You two should just treat this as your own home. Don't be polite. We farmers don't have so many rules when eating."
As she spoke, she used her unused chopsticks to pick up a piece of boiled fish fillet for each of them.
"Thank you, auntie."
Xie Yan took a bite of the fish, and the spicy taste filled his mouth strongly. He couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand and turned his back to cough a few times.
I took a sip of tea to suppress the strong taste.
Li Wanyue smiled and said, "Mr. Xie can't eat spicy food, so try something else."
She was afraid that they couldn't handle spicy food, so she put less spicy food, just a little bit.
Xie Yan shook his head: "It's not that I can't eat it, it's just that I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time, so I can't get used to it for a while. However, the spiciness of the dish you made is just right, and it's delicious."
After saying that, he picked up another piece.
Shen Yu ate happily. The fish was really good. It had no fishy smell at all and was so fragrant, which whetted his appetite. He didn't find it spicy at all.
"I think it's good. The fish is not spicy. It would be better if it were spicier."
Xie Yan glanced at him sideways and decided not to bring him with him if he came again.
Xie Yan tasted the dishes one by one. The boiled fish was spicy and fresh, the egg custard was tender and smooth, the glutinous rice and lotus root were soft, sticky and sweet, the yam puree was cool and dense, the diced chicken was spicy and delicious... He finally understood why Li Wanyue was so calm when she evaluated the dishes of Baiweilou yesterday.
Compared with the dozens of dishes at Baiweilou, this table of dishes has richer flavors.
He had eaten a lot of delicious food, but he had never tasted anything like this before.
The atmosphere in the Li family is very good and harmonious. He envies the way Mr. and Mrs. Li get along with their children.
Look at Li Wanyue’s bowl, it’s full of food from his parents. His parents have never treated him like this before.
Li Wanyue noticed the loneliness that flashed across his eyes. She filled a bowl of sweet soup and turned the table to face Xie Yan.
"Master Xie, try this sweet soup and see if there is anything that can be improved?"
Xie Yan glanced at her. Her eyes and eyebrows were curved when she smiled, like the warm sun in winter.
He picked up the sweet soup and took a sip. Actually, he didn't like sweet food and he only took two bites of the two sweet dishes just now. But the taste of this soup was very special, with just the right sweetness mixed with the aroma of rice wine, which made the bitterness in his heart dissipate a lot.
"It tastes good." Xie Yan praised: "Miss Li's cooking skills are really superb, not inferior to the chef of Yipinlou in Beijing."
Shen Yu quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, Miss Wanyue, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. No wonder you don't like the dishes in our restaurant."
Xie Yan glanced at him and saw that the way he addressed him had changed in just a moment.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your compliment. It's just my first time tasting something like this. It's just new."
Shen Yu boasted that he had eaten a lot of delicious food, and today's dish really broadened his horizons. He believed that Li Wanyue could cook many other dishes, and he must make friends with this person.
When his restaurant makes money, he will also want to show his father and mother that he is capable.
Then he pointed at the twice-cooked pork and asked, "This stir-fried pork slices tastes very special. The red color looks like chili peppers, but it doesn't taste that spicy. What's in it?"
"This twice-cooked pork dish uses fermented black bean paste, which I made myself."
"No wonder you said the seasoning in Baiweilou was insufficient, so this is the reason."
In the end, he ate so much that even someone like Xie Yan, who didn't care about his appetite, ate too much.
Soap, chess, tables, dishes, seasonings, chess and cards. Seeing so many new things at once, Shen Yu suddenly didn't know where to start talking about.
"Miss Wanyue, let's ask them to go to the fields to cultivate sweet potatoes this afternoon. Then we can talk about business."
Xie Yan interrupted: "Ayu, we are here today to learn about planting."
"I'm not here to farm. You farm your land and I'll do my business."
"Are you sure?"
Shen Yu choked, thought for a moment, stared at Xie Yan and asked tentatively: "How about... tomorrow?"
"Don't you have something to do tomorrow?" Xie Yan reminded without emotion.
Shen Yu: “…”
If you say there is, then there is.
"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow, okay." Shen Yu was anxious. If he delayed for one more day, he would earn one less day.
Only then did Xie Yan nod.
Shen Yu curled his lips and turned to look at Li Wanyue: "Miss Wanyue, are you free the day after tomorrow? Can we talk about business?"
"Okay." Li Wanyue nodded, but she was a little confused. Why did it feel like Boss Shen couldn't make the decision?
Shen Yu's face lit up with joy. He wrote a letter to his mother as soon as he got back, and asked her to prepare the shop in Beijing.
They were chatting happily when they heard voices in the yard. Then Li Xiaolan ran in quickly and said, "Grandpa, grandma, great grandfather and second grandfather are here."
Li Youshan's face darkened. What kind of trouble was his father going to make again? He really knew how to pick the right time.
He stood up and looked at Xie Yan and Shen Yu: "You guys continue eating, I'll go out and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Li had already entered the main room.
Following behind were Li Youfu and his wife, Li Dalin and a middle-aged man, who was looking at the house with disdain.
The small space suddenly seemed even smaller.
Old man Li shrugged his nose and looked at the remaining dishes on the table. They smelled so good that he almost drooled just by smelling them.
Well, with so many delicious foods, he doesn’t even show his filial piety to his father.
Li Youshan stepped forward and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
Old Man Li finally came to his senses and coughed, "Of course I'm here for Yue girl's matter. You said that as parents, she has been divorced and returned home for such a long time, and you haven't found a marriage for her. Do you plan to let her stay at home and be gossiped about?"
Shen Yu's mouth became an O shape: Shocked JPG.
Xie Yan frowned and looked at Li Wanyue, thinking of the man who stopped Li Wanyue in Qingshi Town last time.
