"The food is delicious."
As Jia Dongsheng said this, six dishes had already filled the table.
There’s no way. Although there are only six dishes, the plates are too big, so six dishes make up a whole table.
"Dongsheng, stop busying yourself and sit down quickly. There are so many dishes here, how can we finish them all?"
Yi Zhonghai looked at the six dishes on the table, and the smile on his lips became brighter and brighter. He felt that his plan would most likely succeed today.
Liu Haizhong was very satisfied and invited him to dinner with six dishes, including the hard dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms. The fish looked to be at least six or seven kilograms. Such a big fish must be expensive!
Yan Fugui's eyes almost popped out. Eating so much in this meal was such a waste, wasn't it?
If it were at the Yan family, if Yan Fugui didn't stew the chicken with mushrooms for a month, he wouldn't be able to make a living. What's more, there is such a big fish. What's the point of doing it? It would be better to sell it and buy meat.
Although fish is delicious and fresh, it has too little fat. You won’t gain weight by eating it. If you don’t gain weight by eating meat, then it’s a waste to eat it.
That’s right, although Yan Fugui likes fishing, he sells all the fish he catches and doesn’t keep any of them. This is because the fish meat has no fat, and eating it will not make any oil or water, and the fish that don’t grow meat is the most practical way to sell them for money.
Sha Zhu's expression was somewhat solemn. Each of these six dishes was delicious in color, aroma and taste, giving him the feeling that these six dishes were better than anything he had cooked.
"Dongsheng, your cooking skills are amazing. These six dishes are as good as mine."
When Sha Zhu said this, Yi Zhonghai's face darkened. He knew that Sha Zhu was neither smart nor stupid, and he never compromised when it came to cooking skills.
He said that Jia Dongsheng’s cooking skills were good, so it must be good. This also gave Yi Zhonghai a bad feeling.
You know, in this day and age, a chef who can cook a good meal is worthy of pursuit in many departments.
For example, the Eighth Building in the old city, or various factories, all need good chefs. If it is difficult to enter the kitchens of various factories, the Eighth Building is still very willing to recruit good chefs.
"Jia Dongsheng has this skill, can he still become my apprentice and learn locksmithing?"
Although he was feeling conflicted, Yi Zhonghai remained expressionless.
"Uncle One, Uncle Two, Uncle Three, Sha Zhu, thank you for taking care of my family all the time. Thank you."
As soon as he sat down, Jia Dongsheng picked up a glass of wine and spoke to the few people.
Because they wanted to drink, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu did not sit at the table, but went to the next room to eat alone with Banggeng and Xiaodanger.
"Hey, we're all neighbors, Dongsheng, you're really polite."
Yan Fugui spoke first. Although he liked to take advantage of his neighbors, he would be the first to help if something really happened. Otherwise, why were the workers the bosses in the middle yard and the back yard, but it was the turn of him, a primary school teacher, in the front yard?
It is because Yan Fugui knows how to handle things. For example, the gate of the courtyard needs to be locked at eight or nine o'clock every night, and then the next morning, you need to get up early to open the lock. This job has always been done by Yan Fugui on a voluntary basis, and everyone in the courtyard is very grateful.
"Yes, Uncle Three is right. We are all neighbors, and helping each other is what we should do."
Liu Haizhong is used to being arrogant when speaking.
"Don't be polite, Dongsheng. Dongxu is my apprentice. Now that he's gone, it's my responsibility to take care of his family. Otherwise, how will your mother and sister-in-law survive?"
Speaking of Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai sighed. He was a good disciple, but he died young!
"That's right, we live next door to each other, so helping each other is our duty."
Sha Zhu's face looked a little bad, and his mind was still echoing with what Qin Huairu said when she came out of his room. She told him not to call her Sister Qin, but to call her Sister-in-law. How could Sha Zhu not understand this?
When he changed his mind, Qin Huairu did not refuse, which gave Sha Zhu great hope. He thought his chances were very great, but this change made him realize again that his chances had become slim again!
"Dongsheng, come, have a drink."
A few of them clinked their glasses, took a sip, and then, at Jia Dongsheng's invitation, started eating the dishes on the table.
"Mmm, this chicken tastes really good."
"This fish is not bad either. It tastes even better than the one Sha Zhu cooked last time."
"It's definitely better and more delicious. Dongsheng's cooking skills are pretty good."
The three old men ate the dishes and praised them as they ate, while Sha Zhu took a bite of each dish and his face became a little serious. This dish was actually better than his.
One of the dishes, twice-cooked pork, is especially good. It is a Sichuan dish. In addition to the family-inherited Tan family cuisine, Sha Zhu was the one who mainly learned Sichuan cuisine. Whether it is delicious or not, and whether it is authentic or not, can be tasted just by taking a bite.
This also made Sha Zhu very confused. It was said that Jia Dongsheng left home to study medicine. How come he was such a good cook?
It even tastes better than the food cooked by him, who changed his career to study cooking. Isn’t this unreasonable?
"Dongsheng, didn't you go out to study medicine? You're not doing your job right, are you? Instead of learning medicine, you're learning to cook?"
Sha Zhu said whatever he thought and immediately asked the questions in his mind.
"Hey, that's not true. I did go to study medicine, but I met a great master. He's not only an excellent doctor, but also a top chef. He was once known as a master of both medicine and cooking."
"Masters in both medicine and cooking?"
Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. Jia Dongsheng was so capable, but it seemed like he was getting further and further away from being his choice for retirement support.
"Dongsheng, can you please take my pulse? I've been having back pain these past few days and I don't know what's going on."
When Yan Fugui, who was fond of taking advantage, heard Jia Dongsheng say that he had learned medical skills, his eyes immediately lit up. If Jia Dongsheng could help him here, he wouldn't have to go to the hospital. Saving a few cents would also be a profit.
"Third Uncle, that's fine. Let me check it for you tomorrow. You drank alcohol today, so your pulse will change."
"Well, Third Uncle has been waiting for you." Yan Fugui immediately picked up the wine glass happily and toasted Jia Dongsheng.
However, Liu Haizhong did not take it seriously. In his opinion, Jia Dongsheng was so young and his medical skills could not be that great. Yan Fugui was really senile to take advantage of him.
A few people were chatting and laughing, eating food with big mouthfuls and drinking wine with small sips. The atmosphere was quite lively.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yi Zhonghai became a little restless. No matter what, he felt that he should still give it a try. If there was really no hope with Jia Dongsheng, he could also devote himself to Sha Zhu.
In his opinion, Shazhu is a very sensible child except for being silly sometimes. He also has a grateful heart and is a very good candidate for elderly care.
