Food Circle Plug-in Emperor Chapter 657

  Chapter 657 Immortals do not change

  Ai Houkuan quickly put down the wine bottle in his hand and walked up to the leaders. His feet were a little weak, he gritted his teeth, and stood up straight.

   "This is their family's secret dish. The recipe is only served once a year. It is very worth trying."

  He pointed at the dishes, and took stock of them one by one: "Appetizer sauce cashew nuts, caviar yellow croaker lion head, original abalone. Staple food razor clam emperor colorful noodles."

   After he finished speaking, a table of people looked at him strangely.

   To be honest, I usually know a few of these hot dishes.

   After all, Liu's cuisine is still very famous, but you need to go to the restaurant to eat it.

  But Ai Houkuan suddenly reported the name of the dish so dryly, which always made people feel somewhat nonsensical.

Ai Houkuan, who had said something, looked at the people with surprised expressions, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "I didn't take the official account for this table of dishes. Old leader, you are usually too busy with work, I have a heart I want to treat you to a meal, to please you, every time you are either dealing with something, or pulling me to have a bite in the cafeteria. Over the years, the number of times we have eaten together at the same table can be counted with two hands come over."

   "For this meal, I originally wanted to book it at the Maxima Restaurant, but you said that your friend Minister Xiao has a bad stomach and can't eat seafood, so I changed to the private restaurant."

  When Ai Houkuan said this, he was extremely distracted.

  The twists and turns on the mat before can be understood by anyone who is not a fool.

   This is what Xiao Peng said for Wang Qingyu's face and helped him set up the scene.

  Reciprocity is like this.

  He felt that he should help implement Wang Qingyu's achievements.

  After all, there are some things that you say, and others will know. As for whether there is a difference between what you say and what you actually do, and how much you exaggerate, no one will really pursue it.

   Xiao Peng looked at his old friend and couldn't help being moved.

He raised his glass and clinked with his old friend: "Qingyu, it's actually not easy for us. When I took the civil service exam, life at home was so hard! At that time, I just entered the work unit. Going to work, your sister-in-law is afraid that I will be underestimated by others, so she gets up early every day, makes dumplings for me and takes them with you."

   "As a result, in the whole unit, there is no one who brings food. My colleague, people either eat in the cafeteria or eat out."

   "Later, I was busy with work. In order to achieve this future, really, I almost boiled myself to death. What's wrong with my stomach? It's you who always miss me."

  Wang Qingyu and Xiao Peng drank it down in one gulp, and did not speak again.

Ai Houkuan got up and helped them fill the wine glasses. Feeling sad, he said quickly: "The old leader has done so many things for us in Bei'an. We are leaving. Why don't we try the special dishes! This Liu's food is good. There are many dishes that have been improved from our local specialties.”

"It's like this Dongpo meat for the state banquet. I heard it from my friends before. Their family only arranges this dish once a year. Now let us catch up. Speaking of it, I borrowed the light of the old leader, This day is good, lucky, auspicious!"

  The leader of Bei'an University who accompanied him smiled, toasted first, and then praised Ai Houkuan: "I didn't see it before, our Houkuan is also a very good person."

  Everyone laughed, and the topic miraculously settled on traditional dishes.

  In addition to the few leaders who came from above, there were also people from the city who came to accompany them, and there were exactly nine people at the table.

  The leader with the highest official position above moved the chopsticks first, and everyone picked up their own piece of Dongpo meat one by one.

  Ai Houkuan has never been to Shangshi's private restaurant for dinner.

  The main reason is that this store is newly opened, and the time to settle in Bei'an is too short.

   And he was too busy during this period. Ever since the old director got the news of the increase, as soon as the candidate list was released, the people in the entire office building immediately changed their direction.

  Anyone with long eyes can tell that Wang Qingning obviously values ​​Ai Houkuan more, and the other one is purely a candidate for running with him in everyone's mind.

  So there were so many people who showed their kindness to Ai Houkuan one after another. He was tired of dealing with it, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to accept various banquets casually, for fear that once he opened his mouth, he would not be able to stop.

  Although he has never actually eaten in the restaurant, Ai Houkuan has heard a little about Shangshi private restaurant.

It is said that the owner of this restaurant is a descendant of a chef from the imperial dining room in ancient times. Many dishes in the restaurant were passed down from the palace in those days, and because it is a private restaurant, the recipes are different every day. Customers who dine are like opening a blind box.

  No one knows what dishes can be caught up with after entering the store.

   It is precisely because of this that Shangshi Private Kitchen has a few secret dishes, which are said to be made only once a year, and it is luck to catch up.

   And this state banquet Dongpo pork has a lot of background. I heard that this dish is one of the secret dishes.

  Originally ordinary Dongpo pork, with the addition of the word "state banquet", the whole dish was suddenly elevated by more than one level.

   Ai Houkuan was nervous all day, until this moment, he was finally able to sit on a chair with his chopsticks in his hands, and looking at the delicious dishes on the table, he suddenly felt hungry.

  He waited for the other leaders to finish their dishes, and then carefully took away the last piece of Dongpo meat.

  The stewed meat is too soft and rotten, and it can't be picked up at all. Someone tried to pick it up with chopsticks just now, but the whole piece of meat was divided into two parts, and finally it was put into the plate in two parts with a spoon.

  Ai Houkuan looked at the Dongpo meat on the plate, half of which was fat and half was lean. It was obviously pork belly, but the layers were very distinct. It looked red and bright, and it was particularly appetizing.

  He couldn't help secretly praising.

   It is indeed a secret signature dish, and it is really good. Just looking at the quality of this dish, you know that the meat must be delicious.

  Knowing that the meat was soft and rotten and not easy to grasp, Ai Houkuan simply used a spoon to divide the two-inch square piece of meat in two.

However, even knowing that the stewed Dongpo pork is extremely soft, when the spoon is pressed down, the meat will tremblingly be divided into two, revealing the delicate and attractive multi-layered layers inside, which is still very relaxing. ,sense of achievement.

  Ai Houkuan couldn't help but put the small half piece of Dongpo meat into his mouth.

  The mouth is fragrant and glutinous, fat but not greasy, with a wine aroma.

   Smack and touch carefully, the taste is mellow and juicy, crispy but not broken, very delicious!

   Almost no teeth to chew, just such a sip between the lips and tongue, the whole piece of meat melts.

tasty!

  It smells so good!

   I don't know if I'm really hungry, but after eating such a small piece of Dongpo meat, Ai Houkuan only felt his index finger twitch, and his appetite was full.

  He almost couldn't wait to put the remaining half of Dongpo meat into his mouth, savoring the indescribable aroma of the meat carefully.

Amazing!

  It is so soft that it almost melts in your mouth, but when you put it on the plate, it can maintain a square shape.

This Dongpo pork looks like a plate of only 9 yuan, but in fact it is quite big. If it is ordinary braised pork, such a large piece of meat can be eaten directly, and it can basically relieve the craving. It is a bit tired .

  But right now, Ai Houkuan just feels that he still has more to say.

  If he eats that plate of meat by himself, he feels that he can easily eat it even without rice.

  And if it is paired with a bowl of fragrant rice, scrape the sticky soup on the bottom of the plate, and stir like this.

   That must be a **** and don't change it!

   Clicking his tongue, Ai Houkuan couldn't help looking at the empty plate.

  It's a pity, I didn't eat enough!

   No wonder it is said to be a secret dish in the store, it is indeed delicious!

  He was thinking about it, and Xiao Peng, who was sitting next to the main seat, said sincerely: "This Dongpo meat is absolutely amazing!"

  Everyone here couldn't help but agree.

  Dongpo pork was originally not a luxury dish, and it is usually served in old restaurants.

  Where are the official positions of all the people present here, and they usually have frequent entertainment and exchanges, and they have never eaten any delicacies from mountains and seas.

  But this plate of Dongpo meat for the state banquet almost lost its tongue.

   Someone next to him sighed: "Oh, it's a pity, the dishes in this restaurant have always been only one dish per table, I really don't have enough!"

  Xiao Peng answered with a smile: "It's really delicious, it's okay, let's come to Bei'an again when we have a chance next time."

   As he spoke, Xiao Peng turned his head and glanced at Ai Houkuan.

  Ai Hou was deeply blessed, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Yes, the leaders will come to Bei'an in the future and come to me. I will definitely entertain everyone and do my best as a landlord!"

  Everyone laughed as soon as they heard it. Although they knew that what Ai Houkuan said was a scene, it was still quite useful.

  The atmosphere at the dinner table just opened up.

Time passed slowly. In the beginning, the leaders were just chatting, and occasionally took Ai Houkuan to point out a few words. Later, after the meal was finished and drinks were drunk, everyone started chatting about how they hadn't been promoted to their current positions. difficult situation.

   After chatting like this, they got closer to each other, and when they spoke, they unconsciously became a little more sincere.

   That meal lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.

  Ai Houkuan sent the leaders who were still unsatisfied one by one back to the hotel.

When we were separated from the old director, Xiao Peng, the leader from the provincial capital, left him a phone call and said to him: "You Kuan, if I have a chance in the future, I will come to Bei'an again, and you will invite me to this private kitchen For meals, their dishes are really authentic."

  Ai Houkuan promised again and again.

   After sending everyone away, he drove the car alone and walked slowly home.

  When the road encountered a red light, he stopped the car, looked at the speeding vehicles in front of him, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have found something.

  It is a posture when dealing with leaders, a way of communication that can make others feel recognized for themselves.

  At this moment, Ai Houkuan felt that he had found a key and opened a wonderful door.

  The business in the store is surprisingly good today, but no matter how good it is, the number of dishes is limited.

   While Fu Yu was busy in the back kitchen with everyone, he was also silently calculating the order list delivered by the front hall.

   Sure enough, when all the expected 40 tables were ordered, the back kitchen no longer accepted orders, and the front hall no longer accepted customers into the store.

  At ten thirty in the evening, the restaurant closes on time.

  Fu Yu took Liu Yunong's ride back to Maxima.

  Driving the car, Liu Yunong suddenly went uncharacteristically and chatted with Fu Yu with great interest.

   The topic of the chat first revolved around the dishes cooked today, and then, without knowing how, it turned around Fu Yu's vacation today.

   Liu Yunong deliberately inquired about Fu Yu's specific itinerary for today.

   Fu Yu was unaware, and answered all the master's inquiries.

   Liu Yunong asked: "Xiao Fu, today is a rare vacation, where have you been?"

  When mentioning the daytime events, Fu Yu couldn't help but pursed his lips: "Oh, I went to the big world."

   "Want to buy furniture?"

   "At first I just planned to go for a casual stroll. However, I found a bed and it looked good, so I bought it directly."

Liu Yunong was very excited: "Why do you suddenly want to buy a bed? Don't you live in the dormitory in the store now? This bed is not like other furniture. You must choose it carefully when you buy it. It must be comfortable and comfortable to sleep on. .”

   Fu Yu nodded: "Yes, that's right, I was hesitant at first, but then I thought it was really good."

   Liu Yunong inquired with great interest: "Why do you suddenly want to buy a bed? Aren't you living in the dormitory in the store now?"

  Fu Yu explained: "Oh, I got a new house and wanted to decorate it briefly. I originally planned to visit the decoration company today, but then I bought the bed first by chance."

   Liu Yunong lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Is that so, you went shopping alone without asking a friend to accompany you?"

  Fu Yu smiled slightly: "No, I just went shopping with my friends to pick out, she is very discerning, and she helped me choose this bed."

   Liu Yunong nodded stiffly with no expression on his face: "Oh, that's right."

  The two talked about something later, but Liu Yunong was obviously absent-minded.

   When he arrived at the place, after Fu Yu got off the car, he waved goodbye to Liu Yunong first, and then watched the car drive away, then immediately took out his mobile phone and called Liu Yuqing.

   Liu Yuqing got connected quickly, and her tone sounded a little surprised: "Hey, are you done?"

   Fu Yu didn't rush in, so he stood on the sidewalk outside the back door and talked on the phone.

   "Well, just came back."

   Liu Yuqing asked curiously: "What's the matter? Are you busy so far?"

  Before Fu Yu left in a hurry, Liu Yuqing was quite curious, and on the way back, she kept guessing whether something happened in the store.

  She also specially called Jiang Mo, who was working today, to find out about the situation.

   It turned out that everything in the store was as usual, and Fu Yu didn't go back at all.

  Fu Yu said casually: "Oh, it's my master's side. He suddenly called me over."

   Liu Yuqing was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

  Fu Yu is not clear about the relationship between her and Liu Yunong, and has never inquired about it.

   It may be that although the two people have similar names, because Fu Yu has always called Liu Yunong a master, he ignored her name instead.

  His name is Liu Yuqing, but he is called Xiaoqing along with the others.

   It seems that these two people have never been thought of together.

   After all, if these two people don't stand together, although there is a faint similarity between their eyebrows and eyes, because of their age, personality and status, they are completely different in terms of clothing and temperament.

  Most people would never think of these two people together.
