The store was very lively, so lively that Jiang Feng even wondered if Jubaolou had undertaken the wedding banquet today.

The decoration of the lobby is somewhat similar to what Jiang Feng saw in the old man's memory before, there are only two kinds of tables, a small square table and a large round table, and the overall decoration seems a little monotonous, making people feel that there are no decorations missing.

"Sir, do you have a reservation? We don't have ...... anymore," a waiter greeted him.

"Yes, my friend has arrived, I'll just go in by myself. Sun Maocai said.

Hearing Sun Maocai say this, the waiter nodded and left with a smile.

Sun Maocai walked inside, looking around as if he was looking for someone.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit who looked a little rich stood up at a square table near the window, waving to Sun Maocai enthusiastically.

"Master Sun, it's been hard along the way. Sit down, the dishes are freshly served. The middle-aged man shook Sun Maocai's hand first, and then beckoned him to sit down.

"Boss He, I'm really sorry for you. Sun Maocai said politely.

"It's not a hassle, it's just a trivial. I have a friend here who is very familiar with the owner of the treasure house, and it is very easy to help book the eight treasure chestnut pigeons. It's you, who must have worked hard all the way from the port city. ”

"I didn't come here in a special way, I happened to be attending a cooking exchange in a nearby city. It's only a few hours by train, so it's very convenient. Sun Maocai said, sat down, and began to look at the dishes on the table.

A table of meat dishes filled this small square table to the brim, and I couldn't see it at all.

"Master Sun, this is the first time you have come to this treasure building, right? These dishes are the signature dishes of the treasure building. You see, Wenchang chicken, boiled geoduck, chicken shredded bird's nest, sand tea beef, drunk pork ribs, pumpkin shark fin cup, if you have anything else you want to eat, let's add it. Boss He almost engraved the two big words rich on his face.

"That's enough, how can the two of us eat so many dishes, it's really breaking your bank. Sun Maocai said with a smile.

Boss He waved his hand: "What kind of expense is this, if you didn't help me temporarily add a table last time, I wouldn't even be able to see Boss Xu's face, and that business would not be able to be negotiated at all." If you want me to say that the lobby is still too noisy, the table is also small, next time you come again, you must call me in advance, I will book a private room upstairs. ”

"Just two people who need any box, the lobby is also very good, lively, with the smell of fireworks. Sun Maocai looked at the dishes on the table but did not move his chopsticks.

Boss He looked at Sun Maocai's expression, felt that he had guessed his intentions, and explained: "This eight-treasure chestnut fragrant pigeon will have to wait a little longer, and now this dish is famous." When it first came out two months ago, there was no one who ordered it too expensive, but a suckling pigeon was still a little vegetarian, and it was more expensive than the bird's nest stuffed with the pigeon swallowing the swallow. If you think about it for less than two months, you have to ask someone to find a relationship to book, and it doesn't matter if you can't book it. ”

"Food, it has nothing to do with the ingredients, as long as it tastes good, it's a good dish. Sun Maocai said.

"Yes. Boss He nodded and agreed, "It's much more delicious than those ordinary abalone, shark fin and sea cucumber, I used to be a vegetarian every day and couldn't eat meat, but now I eat a lot of big fish and meat, and it's good to eat some half meat and half vegetarian." ”

"Master Sun, you may not know that you are from Hong Kong City, although we are pretty good now, but the original life is really bitter. I couldn't even eat meat all year round, and when I was a child, I would wake up smiling if I could eat such a table. Boss He picked up the chopsticks, "Come, eat vegetables, these ribs should also be made by Master Sun himself, you ......"

Speaking of this, Boss He suddenly reacted and said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, you and Master Sun of this treasure building are both surnamed Sun." ”

"yes, that's a coincidence. Sun Maocai took a piece of pork ribs and put it in the bowl.

"I don't think Boss He's accent is a local, you should be from Guangdong Province. Sun Maocai turned on the small talk mode.

"yes, but I've been doing business here for the last few years, so I've been spending a lot of time here. I don't know if Master Sun has heard of Jubaolou in Hong Kong City, this Jubaolou was famous a few years ago, I have heard it in Guangdong Province, known as the first restaurant of FJ. Originally, it was the most famous of the treasure building is the Buddha jumping over the wall, originally I wanted to invite you to taste the result of the booking when I forgot, next time if there is a chance I will definitely invite you to taste. ”

"A few years ago?" Sun Maocai grasped the point.

"Hmm. Boss He ate a large piece of pork ribs and spoke a little slurred, "I also listened to what my friend said, it seems to be more than ten years ago, after the death of Master Sun." Chef Sun, you should know, he is a famous master of Cantonese cuisine. ”

"I know, I am highly respected. Sun Maocai nodded.

"He is highly respected, but it is a pity that the apprentices brought out are not virtuous. After the death of Master Sun, his apprentices made a lot of trouble in order to rob the treasure building, and finally it seemed that there was a cooking competition. In the end, it was Master Sun's little apprentice who won the game, but the little apprentice gave up the inheritance of the restaurant, and Jubaolou belonged to the current Master Sun. Boss He talked about the old melon in front of the parties.

Jiang Feng: ......

Although he couldn't see any expression fluctuations on Sun Maocai's face, he felt that Sun Maocai's inner fluctuations at this time should be quite strong.

Boss He became more and more energetic: "After that, Jubaolou will not work, and several masters who are in charge of the spoon have gone at once, that is, the business has only boomed again in the past two months." If you want me to say that the worst thing is that the little apprentice of Master Sun, he didn't get anything, and he left the treasure building, and now there is no news. I heard that this little apprentice was only in his early 20s at that time, which is a pity. ”

Sun Maocai was silent for a long time, so long that Jiang Feng thought that he was going to get up and say "I will go to the toilet" to relieve the embarrassment in his heart by urinating.

As a result, Sun Maocai put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "That's not necessarily. ”

Jiang Feng: ?

Boss He: ?

"Huh?" Boss He looked confused.

"If you really don't want a restaurant, you can just admit defeat when you play, why win that game. Sun Maocai said.

Jiang Feng: 〣(?? Δ??) 〣

He felt as if he had eaten a shocking melon.

Boss He was also a little puzzled by Sun Maocai's words, pondered for a while, and said: "Yes, if you don't want it, just admit defeat, why win and say no." ”

"Oh, I remember, my friend told me about it. He is more familiar with this Boss Sun in Jubaolou, and he said that Boss Sun is a very good and strong person, and I guess he can't release water. The competition that year seemed to be quite sensational, and it may not be suitable to release water in front of everyone. ”

"If there is anything that is not suitable, in fact, the water is the most suitable. If he really doesn't want the restaurant, he can continue to stay in the treasure building as a chef if he loses the game, and it makes no sense to give up the restaurant after winning and giving up the restaurant, except for getting a good reputation. Sun Maocai said.

"Why did you give up again in the end when you wanted a restaurant?" Boss He had completely forgotten the previous topic, and began to think about this issue seriously, and even forgot to eat.

"Maybe I regretted it later. Sun Maocai said, "People are always capricious and competitive, one second wants, the next second they dare not want, especially when they are young, once they are impulsive, they forget to consider the consequences." With such a huge temptation in front of them, who can hold on to it?"

"It's a personal heartbeat. ”

"According to what you say, isn't this little apprentice of Master Sun more than worth the loss, why bother to win the game, just release the water at the beginning, if I had him, I would have regretted it a long time ago. Now the fame of Jubaolou has risen, and I have heard that the chefs in it are now taking private jobs outside. Boss He compared Sun Maocai with a number, "Of course, you can't compare with Master Sun." ”

"I also think he regrets it now. Sun Maocai looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly smiled, "This is what I said casually, Boss He, don't take it to heart." ”

"I know, just guess. We are not the parties, who knows what they were thinking at the time. Boss He laughed twice and continued to eat.

Sun Maocai also ate two bites of food, and while eating, he suddenly looked up as if he heard something and looked inside. Jiang Feng followed the direction of his eyes and found that there seemed to be some dispute at the innermost table near the back kitchen door, and the three guests and two waiters at the small table quarreled.

"What's going on over there?" asked Sun Maocai.

Boss He glanced up and continued to lower his head to eat: "Normal, the position of that table is not good." I didn't position myself in advance once, and I sat at that table late in the morning. It's too close to the kitchen door, there are always people in and out, which particularly affects eating, and Boss Sun's grandson always likes to slip out of it when eating, and children can easily bump into people when they don't look at the road. ”

"Boss Sun's grandson?"

"Well, he's a pretty cute tiger-headed. ”

Sun Maocai looked at the table thoughtfully.
