The joy of the main quest continuing to advance did not subside until the next day, Su Zifang finished washing almost the whole time with a toothy smile, and almost hit a telephone pole on the side of the road when he was running.

Looking at the task list, Su Zifang suddenly enlightened: "Anyway, Boss Lu is coming to the store today, and letting him help cook for a day should be considered to have completed the task, right?"
......
Seeing that the system did not prompt for a long time, Su Zifang knew that his conjecture was correct, and walked happily towards home.
He saw Mu Lu cleaning at the door from a distance, and since the relationship between the two was a lot closer, he was not so unfamiliar: "Morning, Brother Mu, did Boss Lu let you sweep the floor so early today?"
On the contrary, just like these two bosses and employees who are not like ordinary people, it doesn't hurt to make fun of them.
"But no, Boss Lu's slamming of the door can toss me alone, how many times have I said that I will recruit a waiter to come over, but I just refuse!" "But I don't blame Boss Lu, a small business, saving money is the most important thing!"
Sensing the change in the style of Mu Lu's words, his eyes also drifted to the other side, Su Zifang shook his head slightly, as if he understood something. turned around, and sure enough, I saw Lu Renjie walking out of the store, stretching his waist as he walked.
"Boss Lu is early. Su Zifang smiled and said hello.
Lu Renjie tried to open his eyes and nodded, the heavy dark circles under his eyes almost had the words night shift written on his face.
"Boss Lu, there's no problem with the noon banquet, right?" Although I can't bear to disturb people's dreams so early, the matter of opening the banquet at noon must be determined, and there is another task that Lu Renjie needs to help.
Thinking that the task was related to Lu Renjie's dream, Su Zifang felt much less psychologically burdened about coming so early.
"Whewβno problem, it's on time for noon. Lu Renjie yawned, slurred.
"By the way, Boss Lu, there is one more thing I want to trouble you, why don't you help you with the noon banquet?"
"Well, okay, Cheng!" Lu Renjie heard this, and patted Su Zifang on the shoulder excitedly, "This kind of opportunity, if you don't talk about trouble, I have to take the initiative to help." β
"I'll look at the time, yo, it's not early, wait for me, we'll go over now!" Lu Renjie trotted towards the house.
Su Zi watched the pure and virtuous Lu Renjie go on the road to help him complete the task and even speed up and run, and couldn't help but touch his nose: "Boss Lu is so good!"
Mu Lu next to him didn't know what to do, and then gave a thumbs up: "It's not, Boss Lu is the best boss on this street!"
"Let's go, Boss Su!"
Lu Renjie, who was still dressed in casual clothes just now, has changed into a chef's uniform, wearing a tall chef's hat on his head, a wok, a spatula in one hand, looking more professional than Su Zifang, with a simple smile and rich posture, without saying anything else, standing there is the best model of the old southern propaganda film!
"I bought it out of boredom before, but I didn't expect it to come in handy!" Lu Renjie explained honestly, urging the two to set off quickly, "It's too late to prepare!"
Banquets have been the most important part of Chinese cuisine since ancient times, not only reflecting the essence of local dishes, but also a display of Chinese etiquette.
Su Zi's course in the old south has a special table manners to teach table manners in various countries and cuisines.
Seating, seating, sitting, communicating, serving, clothing, toasting, toasting, and dispersing...... At the end of the course, Jasibe still sighed to them: "There are too many bits and pieces about cuisine in this world, and the lessons of this semester are really not enough, I hope you can go to all over the world in the future and personally witness all the dishes in various places with your skills." β
Su Zifang was obsessed with Jia Xibei's side references when he talked about various etiquettes, and the results of this course were naturally not low, and he arranged a banquet for more than a dozen people.
He is the protagonist of the banquet, and he must sit at the upper table, and Lu Renjie, as the guest of honor, must be sitting with him.
It just so happened that one of the guests, Dr. Luo, was an old doctor who retired from Harmony Hospital, who was old and famous, and stayed on the street because he liked Jingling City and wanted to be quiet, and was the most respected boss on the street.
Su Zifang set a seat after a little thought, Doctor Luo took the main seat, he sat on the left side, and Boss Lu sat on the right.
Wang Fugui and Nurse Li sat on the left and right, and the rest were all young people, and they didn't pay much attention to the position of the next seat, and the men and women could be interspersed.
Two long tables are put together to form a large table of eight immortals, with three people on each side, just sitting at one table, saving two tables of dishes.
After arranging the seats, Su Zifang gave Mu Lu a few words and rushed into the kitchen. After all, he just asked Lu Renjie to help with the cooking, and he was delayed outside for so long, so he was still a little embarrassed to trouble Lu Renjie to prepare the ingredients inside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Su Zifang was shocked by the plates on the cooking table and lost his voice: "Boss Lu, you are the hidden big boss?!"
Chicken, duck, fish, meat, pork ribs, pork belly, liver and kidney, potatoes, lotus root slices, and loofahs are properly arranged, cramping, peeling, boneless, slicing, shredding, dicing, hob, and knives, even better than some lifelong old chefs.
Lu Renjie didn't rush to reply when he heard Su Zifang's voice, first disposed of the last few pieces of ginger in his hand, put the knife aside, washed his hands again, and dried them with the towel around his neck. Only then did he turn around: "What's the matter, just your own hobbies, practice, practice." β
Su Zifang swallowed his saliva, thinking about whether he had taken the wrong script, the neighbor practiced casually, and he had such a good knife skill, otherwise the name of the book should be changed to "My Neighbor Youth Hostel Owner Turned Out to Be a Kitchen God Who Has Been Hidden for Many Years"?
But looking at Lu Renjie's serious eyes, Su Zifang couldn't have doubts, so he could only secretly say to himself: "What a good talent, it's a pity not to cut it!"
