Chapter 34 Mutton Copper Pot
On the top floor of Su's Restaurant, the luxury private rooms that have been renovated are completely different from the previous Chinese tyrant style.
In addition to the redesigned dark round table, there are also a few quaint tree roots in the room, the utensils in the corner are all red and black pottery, the top lampshade is also made of pottery, there are long bamboo mats on the wall and extraordinary beautiful colored straw lotuses, and the small incense burner full of artistic sense in the corner burns faint incense, which does not look like a restaurant, but like a Zen room.
Lin Xinfei proudly pointed to the white jade chrysanthemum that had just been served on the table, and said to Yu Cheng, the president of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce: "Old Yu, you are also a person who has traveled all over the world, you haven't seen this!"
Yu Cheng was also shocked by the plate of tofu: "It's amazing!"
He was still telling Lin Xinfei just now that the most powerful knife worker he had ever seen was eating copper pot with his father in an alley in the capital when he was a child.
Now it seems that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky, and the tofu silk of the white jade chrysanthemum in front of him, each tofu silk is as thin as a hair, if it can be seen through the light, it must be translucent. Cutting this is harder than cutting meat!
Just as Lin Xinfei and Yu Cheng were eating tofu with satisfaction, a waiter came in with a smile again, holding a small plate in her hand.
"Hello guests, we have a surprise event at the opening today, and each guest who has a desk number or a serial number of eight will give a new dish for free, called Jin Gui Piaoxiang. β
Lin Xinfei's private room happened to be No. 18 on the top floor, and after listening to the waiter's words, Lin Xinfei laughed: "Thank you, thank you!"
It was a small black porcelain plate, the diameter was only the size of an adult man's palm, and the amount of vegetables in it was not much, a bunch of small golden osmanthus flowers spread all over the lower part of the plate, and the upper part of the plate was painted with brown sauce and a few pepper leaves.
A burst of sweet osmanthus aroma came from the plate, making this plate of golden osmanthus fragrance not like a dish, but like an ornament.
"I said, girl, this can't be a real osmanthus. Yu Cheng asked with some regret.
He has a pollen allergy, and if this is true osmanthus, he can't touch it.
"It's not made of osmanthus, it's just a little osmanthus nectar, and the main ingredient is eggs. The waiter explained with a smile.
"Eggs?" Yu Cheng and Lin Xinfei looked at each other, or Lin Xinfei scooped a spoonful with a small spoon first, looked at it carefully, and saw that the osmanthus petals, stamens, and calyx were all complete, and the smell was completely the smell of osmanthus, how could it be an egg?
He put the spoon in his mouth, and his eyes widened!
Oh my God, this is really an egg, and it is an egg with a little pepper flavor, a little refreshing hemp, so that the taste of the egg is not so greasy, in addition, it also has an indescribable light sweetness, it seems to be the fragrance of osmanthus, and it seems to be the autumn when the forest is dyed, the slightest coolness blowing from the mountain wind, people can't help but feel open.
Seeing Lin Xinfei showing such an expression, Yu Cheng also tasted it, and his expression changed.
None of the people at the table spoke.
After waiting for a while, Lin Xinfei stretched out his hand viciously, scooped a big spoonful of the already small golden cinnamon fragrance, and put it in his mouth, and the plate was half empty in an instant.
Two people, you look at me, I look at you, like a cockfight, no one will give in!
Yu Cheng said: "Lao Lin, you are not kind!" As he spoke, he not only scooped two spoonfuls of his own plate, but also scooped a large spoonful of his wife's plate. At the time, the osmanthus flowers made of eggs on the plate were only a few scattered flowers on the plate that were stuck with the sauce.
Lin Xinfei was not to be outdone, and simply brought the plate to him: "Okay, after so many years, you are getting more and more home after eating alone." β
He took off the osmanthus flowers in the paintings, licked them into his mouth, and smashed his lips: "Yo, it turns out that this sauce is a special sauce, with the taste of fresh pepper leaves, and it is more delicious when dipped in." As he spoke, he scraped off the sauce and poured it on his plate, and Yu Cheng shook his head angrily.
Outside, there are eight in each single number, and there are eight guests in the Taiwan number, all of whom have received the gift of golden cinnamon fragrance one after another.
This dish ushered in an extremely warm welcome.
Even after several people finished eating, they lined up again, waiting for a single number of eight, just for the fragrance of this golden cinnamon.
Until about three o'clock in the afternoon, there were still people eating in the hall. This posture is obviously to connect dinner and lunch.
"Tongtong, you go and rest. Su Changqing was busy, went to the kitchen, and said to Su Ruotong.
In front of Su Ruotong, a large stainless steel basin was placed, and a pot of small osmanthus flowers carved by her with eggs was piled up in it, at least a hundred plates could be spelled out, which was enough for today. The raw material of the fragrance of golden cinnamon is that the fresh pepper leaves are mashed, the sauce that comes out of the pickling, plus the steamed egg custard, and a little osmanthus nectar, but with Su Ruotong's knife work, it is amazing, and it is worth a thousand gold in an instant.
Su Ruotong looked at Su Changqing, remembered what Chu Yuhu told her in the morning, and asked, "Dad, is someone going to buy our restaurant some time ago?" β
"Huh?" Su Changqing didn't expect his daughter to ask this, and said, "Who did you listen to?" β
During that time, the business of Su's restaurant was very poor, and someone came to discuss with him about buying shares through the Wei family, Su Changqing saw people, only to find that people did not want to buy shares, but wanted to completely acquire Su's restaurant, and the price was very low, so low that it was basically enough to buy this building.
Of course, Su Changqing refused to sell, no matter how he said that Su's Restaurant was a century-old brand, and he was not short of money to the point of selling the building for a living, so he immediately refused.
Later, people who wanted to buy a house looked for him through various relationships, and he was annoyed with what he was looking for, and every time he directly said that he would not sell, this incident also sounded the alarm in Su Changqing's heart, the business of Su's restaurant is getting worse and worse, will it really fall to the point that he is willing to sell as long as someone is willing to buy a house?
It was also because of this that he went to Tao Xian.
Seeing Su Changqing in a trance for a moment, Su Ruotong knew that this matter was true, and she wondered why Chu Yuhu was kind enough to tell them this.
Su Changqing touched Su Ruotong's head and said gently: "Don't worry, what your father handed over to you in the future will definitely be a great Su Restaurant!" Just like the famous Su Restaurant that his father Su Qiuhong handed over to him back then.
In the afternoon, Su Changqing asked Tao Xian to take Su Ruotong back to rest first.
Su Ruotong is not tired, but carving that pot of flowers has no effect on her physical strength, and the test is just patience.
Tao Xian suddenly said: "Tongtong, since we can't go outside to play, I'll take you around the city, didn't Uncle Su say before, let you pick what you want to buy, I originally planned to take you there tomorrow." β
"Hmm!" Su Ruotong nodded: "I want to buy a printer." β
Recently, she copied a lot of courseware from the teacher, but when she looked at it on the computer, her eyes were sore after watching it for a long time, so it would be nice if she could print it out. Although Su Changqing occasionally works from home, he really doesn't have this at home.
After a while, Su Ruotong and Tao Xian went to the computer city, and the two of them went around, and when Su Ruotong got off the elevator, he hit his head in a woman's arms.
She rubbed her nose and took a step to the side.
The woman was very tall, about 1.7 meters, and she was wearing sky-high high heels, her legs were long and straight, her hair was black and shiny, and her hair was thick and wavy behind her head.
"You're all right, it's all my carelessness. The woman said.
Su Ruotong stood to the side again, not wanting the woman to touch her. This woman must have done it on purpose, she was obviously watching the road well, how could she be bumped into by someone!
Sure enough, the woman then said with surprise on her face: "Tongtong, is it you?"
"Who are you?" said Su Ruotong with an expressionless face.
"I'm Cheng Yan, don't you recognize me?" Cheng Yan smiled herself: "No wonder you don't recognize me, the last time we met, my makeup was so thick that I couldn't even recognize myself." β
Su Ruotong heard her report to her home, and only then did she remember who this person was.
Cheng Yan is the fiancΓ©e that Wei Zheng was engaged to! It was after her engagement banquet with Wei Zheng that Su Ruotong had a car accident in a daze.
Su Ruotong looked at Cheng Yan alertly and refused to speak. Cheng Yan condescended, looking at Su Ruotong like a small animal: "I'm here to buy some office materials, I didn't expect to meet you, let's go drink something." β
As he was talking, Tao Xian, who had stayed upstairs to go to the toilet just now, rushed over and said unceremoniously to Cheng Yan: "No need, Miss Cheng!"
It seems that Tao Xian already knew who Cheng Yan was.
Cheng Yan couldn't hide her disappointment, but she still said politely: "We will have many opportunities to meet in the future." Tongtong, although I ...... with you" She paused and vaguely slurred the word Wei Zheng: "But we can still be friends, can we?"
Listening to Cheng Yan talking to her, Su Ruotong magically sensed that Cheng Yan was not lying, she really wanted to establish a friendly relationship with her, and Cheng Yan did not exude any malice towards her from beginning to end.
This made Su Ruotong feel strange, even Wei Zheng, who always pretended to be a gentleman and loved her very much, and Chu Yuhu, the fake biological mother, did not give her this feeling. Her mind is infallible.
She had doubts in her heart, nodded to Cheng Yan, and replied, and Tao Xian turned around and left, leaving Cheng Yan to look at her from afar.
After the shadows of Su Ruotong and Tao Xian disappeared, a big man covered in tendons and flesh stepped forward and asked Cheng Yan, "Miss Cheng, what did you say to Su Ruotong?"
I asked her for tea, but she ignored me. And the man next to her was very hostile to me. That man is Tao Xian, right? Chu Yuhu is right, the Su family is suspicious. Cheng Yan's eyes flashed: "Start Plan B." β
