Chapter 557: Jing Leaves Home
At 8:05 a.m., all the staff of Taifeng Building started a new day of intense and busy work.
Fang Mei didn't sleep well because she stayed up late to work the night before, and she needed to get up early to put on makeup to come to work today, so the makeup was not put on well.
In the lobby, except for the manager touching up the makeup in the toilet, there was some small commotion in the back kitchen.
The main reason is that there is a special visitor from the back kitchen, Dong Shi and Dong Li's master, the former chef of Huang Kee Restaurant, the famous master of Su Bang cuisine, Mr. Huang Shengli, who has not yet changed its name.
Since Mr. Huang Shengli didn't like everyone including his apprentices to call him by his full name, everyone called him Master Huang.
Chef Huang not only came, but also brought some giftsβhe brought soup.
The two big pots of soup, the pot of the pressure cooker, are really difficult for Dong Shi and Dong Li, and they have to hold the pressure cooker on the way to work. If I was lucky, I took a few photos from passers-by and posted them on the Internet, and it is estimated that I will be selected for the annual confusing behavior award.
Jiang Feng and the others were drinking soup, gathering around the two pressure cookers and drinking soup quietly with bowls, even Dong Shi and Dong Li, who were serving the pressure cooker.
These two pots of soup, one pot is chicken soup and the other pot is pork bone broth.
There is no need to drink it, just in the form of the soup in the bowl, Jiang Feng can see that these two pots of soup have been boiling for a long time. The boiling time is at least six hours, and during the boiling process, Chef Huang must have stayed by the side of the soup pot to keep omitting the foam.
Although these two soups were seasoned with other ingredients such as red dates, longan, and lotus root, Jiang Feng always felt that he was not drinking stewed soup, but drinking broth.
It is also a soup stock for cooking.
Master Huang didn't speak, quietly watched everyone drink soup, and while watching everyone, he also saw Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming from time to time, and more often stared at Jiang Feng and Jiang Jian.
Jiang Feng also stared at Master Huang.
He found that under normal circumstances, Master Huang looked quite energetic.
Master Huang is not young, his hair is gray, his facial skin is loose and wrinkled, and there are even a lot of age spots on his hands. In addition, Dong Shi and Dong Li often mentioned to Jiang Feng and others that Master Huang's health has not been very good in the past few years, and some of the more common diseases such as geriatric diseases and rheumatism have been tormenting him, and yesterday Master Huang's weak appearance when he just got off the plane was deeply imprinted in Jiang Feng's mind, resulting in Master Huang's image in Jiang Feng's heart as a thin old man who was not very energetic.
But the fact is that although Master Huang is a thin old man, his spirit is good, which can be seen from the burning eyes of Jiang Feng, Jiang Jian, Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming.
Master Huang was very excited in his heart, and his excitement was already evident in some of his performances.
From the moment he walked into the back kitchen behind the two apprentices holding the pressure cooker and saw Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming, he felt that these two old gentlemen should be his master's brothers.
Although his master's name is not Jiang Weijin, or even Jiang's, his master's name is Jing Lixiang, but Master Huang just thinks that the two old men in front of him are his two uncles.
Because he knew that his master's real name was not Jing Lixiang at all, and even his master himself admitted that he had changed this strange name, because his master often laughed at himself for breaking his family and leaving his hometown at a young age.
Even though his master died early, he hadn't even seen what his master looked like in his old age, but Master Huang insisted that the two in front of him were his own uncles.
He even wanted to say hello to the two uncles cordially, and by the way, show his talent to the two uncles and prove that he was a talented nephew.
He thought so, and he did.
"Two uncles, what do you think of my soup?" Master Huang asked, his tone eager, and even with a hint of junior flattery.
Jiang Weiming & Jiang Weiguo: ?
Jiang Weiguo was stunned.
He didn't know about this matter from Jiang Feng earlier than Jiang Weiming, so he was mentally prepared, he only knew that the second brother might have been alive yesterday when Jiang Weiming told him, but he had passed away, but he left a few apprentices and grandchildren, two of whom were working in their own restaurant, and it was quite a bit tortuous and bizarre.
Jiang Weiguo was originally a little confused, but now he was completely stunned by Master Huang's uncle, and he couldn't speak, so he could only look at Jiang Weiming with confused, incomprehensible, shocked, and indescribable emotions.
Jiang Weiming was also a little confused, although he felt that Huang Shengli's master was his second brother nine times out of ten, but Huang Shengli recognized it so easily, so simply and so kindly, that he even felt that Huang Shengli might be a liar.
As an old man who once lived alone in the countryside for a long time, Jiang Weiming has encountered all kinds of liars, more than Jiang Weiguo, Zhao Lanhua, and Sun Guanyun combined.
He suspected that he had encountered a new type of fraud, and he was defrauded.
"Well, wait a minute, this, Yellow... Xiao Huang, can I call you Xiao Huang?" Jiang Weiming struggled to organize the language.
Master Huang has no one to call him Xiao Huang since he entered old age, but there is no problem that the person who said this is his uncle.
Master Huang nodded with a smile and said, "Third Uncle, of course you can." β
Before Master Huang came, he had already inquired with Dong Shi and Dong Li about the seniority of Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming.
Jiang Weiming: [5200 www.bqg5200.xyz]......
"Xiao Huang, you don't need to call me Uncle Shi yet. After all, this matter, let's... Let's just discuss and confirm today, not that it must be, it may just be a coincidence, after all, my second brother has been there for many years. Jiang Weiming said, "Just... Let's talk about the situation first, and let's talk outside. β
"Xiao Feng, Jiankang. Jiang Weiming motioned for Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiankang to go out with them.
After the five of them left, they went to the locker room, and there was no one in the locker room at this time, and there was a small bench in the room, which was perfect for conversation.
"Master Huang, please tell me about your master's situation first, so that my grandfather and my third grandfather can be sure, right?" Jiang Feng, spokesman for the Jiang family's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, took the lead in speaking.
"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to talk to the two uncles about Master's previous situation. Master Huang said happily, sat down on the small bench, and talked about the past.
"We don't know what Master's original name was, but my brother and I both know that Master has changed his name, but we don't know that Master has even changed his surname. At that time, he was working in a very famous restaurant in our Gusu, and my junior brother and I were both accepted as apprentices by the master when we were doing chores in the restaurant. β
"Master is lame, he has to walk on crutches, his movement is very inconvenient, and he has two scars on his face that are not very good-looking, which is why Master has never married a wife, and until he died, my brother and I were taking care of him. Master Huang didn't know what Jiang Weiming and Jiang Weiguo wanted to hear, so he picked up what he thought was important and said.
"Second brother, no, your master, how did his leg become lame, and how did the scar on his face come about?" Jiang Weiming asked.
Master Huang shook his head: "I don't know about this, Master never said it." β
"Actually, Master went quite early, he has always lived alone and has no friends. After my junior brother and I entered the state-run hotel, Master retired early, and my junior brother and I took care of him on weekdays. Once, when Master was cooking at home alone, he accidentally knocked over the stove containing honeycomb coal, and all the coal fell on Master's good leg, and by the time my brother and I took Master to the hospital, the leg was already useless. β
Since then, Master has been working in wheelchairs, and he has no way to cook anymore, so he went within two years. My brother and I chose a place with good feng shui to bury him, and we go to worship every year. β
"Master went early and didn't leave anything behind, no photos, no portraits. Originally, I still had some things written by Master there, but after so many years, I couldn't find them this time. At first, when I heard Xiao Shi and Xiao Li talk about this matter, I thought it might be, because although my master didn't mention much about the previous things, but in the years when he could only be a wheelchair, he often talked about wanting to go to Peking to see, and at that time, my junior brother and I guessed that Master was from Beiping. β
"I also told my junior brother about this matter, he has done some business on his own over the years, and he has been busy recently, and he will come in a few days, but his son seems to be in Beiping, and he only came last year. β
"As soon as I entered the kitchen just now and saw the two uncles, I thought it must be, although I haven't seen what the master looks like when he gets old, but I think it is. Master Huang looked sure, "If the two uncles don't believe that they can test my skills, those two pots of soup are warm for me to boil up yesterday afternoon and stay warm at night." I can't see the soup and there are any dishes that should be able to be seen, so why don't I make two dishes for the two of you now?"
Jiang Weiming and Jiang Weiguo were silent, Master Huang had just said too many things that surprised and saddened them, although they only said a few words, but as long as they thought that the protagonist of the matter was their second brother, they felt worried, and even felt some empathy.
These things have been experienced by Master Huang himself, and after so many years, it is actually nothing for him to say it now. But for Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming, who heard about Jiang Weijin's situation for the first time, Jiang Weijin's experience over the years made them a little difficult to accept.
Master Huang looked at Jiang Weiming and Jiang Weiguo.
Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Jing Lixiang is Jiang Weijin, everyone present has already determined in their hearts.
"Then let's do two, and let's see how the apprentices taught by the second brother are. "Jiang Wei National Road.
"Uncle Xiao, don't worry, you won't be disappointed!" Master Huang knew that now was the time for him to show his talent to the two uncles.
After only a few days, as soon as the junior brother arrives in Beiping, the two uncles will know who is the master's best apprentice.
