"Do you think a mere reward can move me to go to the competition?" Bu Fang stood straight, looking at Ouyang Zongheng seriously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ouyang Zongheng's heart sank, he deserved to be a chef in a small shop recognized by His Majesty, this style is really not comparable to any chef, it seems that this time it is very difficult to ask the boss.
"Boss Bu really doesn't think about it anymore, this is the time to carry forward Boss Bu's cooking skills!" Ouyang Zongheng said unwillingly.
Bu Fang looked at him, blinked his eyes, exhaled lightly, and then said, "You tell me first what the reward for being the first place this time is?"
Well, what? Ouyang Zongheng's eyes kicked and looked at the step with a grin, are you loose? If you say that you are good, you will not be impressed?
"Ahem...... Step boss, it's like this, the prize for this hundred family banquet was personally selected by His Majesty from the palace treasury, and what the prize will not be announced until the first place is finally selected, so the old man is not clear at the moment...... However, the old man dares to take a character guarantee, and this time the prize will definitely not give in to the boss and disappoint him!"
Ouyang Zongheng's nostrils opened slightly, patted his chest, and said with an oath.
Bu Fang lowered his eyes slightly, made a deep groan, and then raised his head and said lightly to Ouyang Zongheng: "Okay, I promise to participate." ”
Hearing that Bu Fang really agreed to participate in the Hundred Family Banquet, Ouyang Zongheng's face suddenly bloomed like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Ouch, if Boss Bu participates, this first must not have run away, tsk, Boss Bu's dish is the most delicious dish I have ever tasted, even more delicious than the dishes cooked by the chefs of the imperial dining room in the palace!
If this scene is seen by others, it is absolutely unthinkable that this uncle, who looks like a pyramid schemer, is actually a famous imperial general.
Ouyang Zongheng breathed a long sigh of relief, the comfort in his heart, since Boss Bu had agreed to him, he had completed the task given to him by His Majesty.
Although the process made his heart ache so much that he couldn't breathe, the result was very satisfying to him, although his private money for several months was turned over by his cheating daughter......
Bu Fangmu saw the Ouyang family leave, and then turned around and returned to the kitchen.
Bufang is a person who is afraid of trouble, but he is also a serious person, he has always been serious about food, if he doesn't do it, he won't do it, since he chooses to do it, he must do his best.
Since he chose to participate in this hundred family banquet, he must prepare well and win the first place.
......
The Spring Festival is approaching, the streets and alleys of the imperial capital are becoming very lively and busy, everyone is cleaning their own house, pasting red couplets, cooking food, and preparing for the upcoming new year.
On the ten-mile long street, the vendors who set up stalls are all early to close their stalls, with impatient joy on their faces, anxious to go home to accompany their relatives for the Spring Festival.
The curling smoke spread out, rushed straight into the sky, and was blown away by the wind.
When night falls, in the night sky tonight, the two bright moons hang high like two round silver plates, and the cold moonlight in Lisen on weekdays seems to become warm, sprinkled on the street, like a faint fluorescence.
On the street, many children carry lanterns, wear thick cotton clothes, haggling, with red fluttering faces, playing with their legs, and the sound of laughter breaks through the silence of the night, bringing the joy of the festival.
Red lanterns were hung at the doors of large households, and housekeepers and maidservants were busy preparing the items needed for the festival.
In the kitchen, the heat is in full swing, the sound of stir-frying is endless, and the aroma of vegetables lingers, wrapping around the nose and lingering.
Plates of exquisite dishes were cooked, put on the dining table, and many children of large families sat in a circle, happily eating the reunion dinner.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is rich and high.
In the small shop, Bu Fang pushed the door panel and walked out, the alley was silent and cold, even if the moonlight was warmer than usual, it could not dissipate the emptiness in the alley.
Pulled a stool and sat at the door of the small shop, he didn't open the door, but he still lay down like this, the cold wind howled, patting his cheeks, so that he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The cold moonlight fell and fell on the door of the small shop, a person, a chair, and a dog, as if they were out of place with the festivities outside the alley.
Boom!
A cloud of fireworks burst into the sky and burst into the dark night sky, and the beauty is intoxicating.
Whew, it's so beautiful, Bufang thought to himself.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the alley, and Bufang suddenly looked at the alley in confusion, and saw three figures coming slowly.
Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong pulled the bouncing Ouyang Xiaoyi and came with each step, tonight's Xiao Yanyu did not wear a veil, her beautiful face was exposed to the air, and her cream-like skin seemed to glow faintly under the moonlight.
"Stinky boss, we're here to bring you food!" Ouyang Xiaoyi said with a smile.
Xiao Yanyu's demeanor is still the same, she came in a Luo skirt, holding a food box in her hand, with a faint smile on her face.
"Tut, Boss Bu, are you enjoying the fireworks? It's really leisurely and elegant, but I have to say that you are really good at watching the fireworks from this angle!" Xiao Xiaolong pulled out a few chairs from the small shop and placed them at the door, while he sat beside Bu Fang and said with a smile.
Bu Fang was a little flustered, and looked at these three people for some reason, what are you doing here?
Xiao Yanyu smiled gently, and said: "Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, tonight is the time for a reunion dinner, we see that the boss of the step seems to be alone, thinking that it may be a little lonely, is to bring some food, well, this pastry is made by her mother, she said to thank the boss for his kindness." ”
While speaking, Xiao Yanyu sat on the chair dignified and placed the food box in front of Bu Fang.
When the lid of the food box is opened, a faint aroma suddenly comes to the nose, although it is not as fragrant as the dishes cooked by Bufang, but this small fresh fragrance is also quite enjoyable.
Stacks of delicate pastries are taken out of it, and the appearance is very eye-catching.
"Come and try it, my mother made it herself. Xiao Yanyu smiled at the corner of his mouth, picked up a plate of pastries, and looked at Bufang.
Bu Fang glanced at the three of them seriously, his heart warmed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
He picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up slightly, this pastry tasted excellent, although sweet, but not greasy, and as soon as he entered the mouth, it was lightly broken, the taste was excellent, and the filling also exuded a faint warmth, as if people ate honey as warm.
"Not bad. Bu Fang exclaimed, although in his opinion, this plate of pastry still has many defects.
Xiao Yanyu's eyes lit up, it was rare to hear the words of praise from the mouth of the boss step, Xiao Xiaolong and Ouyang Xiaoyi couldn't wait to take a piece of pastry and stuff it into their mouths, and the four of them sat opposite each other like this, tasting delicious food.
This warm atmosphere directly dissipates the coldness in the alley.
"Boss Bu, let's try this plate, pineapple jade heart cake!" Finally, Xiao Yanyu took out a plate of pastries from the food box with an expectant face, handed it to Bu Fang, blinked his eyes, and said seriously. (To be continued.) )
