Gao Shixin then understood why Han Hongqi and others knew Li Yu, and they made a special trip to cheer. Thinking of Li Yu's brilliant calligraphy again, Gao Shixin patted Li Yu's shoulder with emotion and said:

"So that's the case, Xiao Li, you really surprised me and Lao Cai."

"Leaders, two teachers, let's go in and talk." Xu Yingying stepped forward and said to everyone. She had heard Li Yu talk about inviting a few old men who learned boxing to be guests, but she didn't expect these old men to be so big. As a student, she had no impression of the old leaders of Yuhai City, and she didn't know the identity of the other party until she saw Gao Shixin and Cai Meilin looking respectful in front of the old men just now.

Cai Meilin also chimed in: "Yes, yes, let's go in and talk again." Secretary Han, Mayor Huang, please first. ”

Han Hongqi patted Cai Meilin's arm and said with a smile: "Boss Cai, don't call us that, we are just ordinary retired old men now, just call me Old Han." ”

"Then what's the line, the secretary is the secretary, even if you take a back seat, you are still the old leader in the minds of our people in Yuhai." Cai Meilin said exaggeratedly. He was a shrewd businessman, and knew that although the old men had retired, there were still a large number of working protégés, and the power was still not to be underestimated. He won't be arrogant in front of these people.

Han Hongqi wanted to be polite again, but Huang Jiping said haha: "Okay, okay, you guys don't pretend anymore." Don't forget, what are we here for today? The world is big, it's not as big as eating, hurry in, and let Li Yu bring them all the signature dishes such as ginseng Ling Baicao chicken, let's open the foreign meat. ”

"Yes, yes, it's a big thing to eat, ...... to go and go"

"Professor Gao, please, Boss Cai, please ......"

"Secretary Han, you go ahead......"

A few people humbled each other and finally walked into the restaurant. Xu Yingying originally prepared a private room for each of these two groups of people, but now seeing that they knew each other and had a quite close relationship, he quickly adjusted the plan and invited them into the highest-end private room in the middle.

After entering the house, the cadres pulled the skin again for the sake of the number of seats, and finally sat down according to the size of the official position. Gao Shixin, as a big-name professor, got a top position next to Han Hongqi. Cai Meilin is a businessman, no matter ancient or modern, he has no status, and can only sit in the lower direction. As for Xu Yingying and Li Yu, they are soft-spoken, and they are also the youngest, so of course they are in the last position.

Everyone sat down, and the waiter brought tea first. This tea is not Tieguanyin, barley tea or chrysanthemum tea in ordinary restaurants, but a five-flavor drink that Li Yu found from the pharmacist's scriptures.

"Yes, just this tea, there is a bit of a doorway." Shao Haijin commented.

"What, Lao Shao, you also have research on traditional Chinese medicine?" Han Hongqi asked.

Shao Haijin said: "I can't say that there is no research, that is, I am a little interested after retirement." By the way, Xiao Li, last time you said that the recipe of this medicinal food workshop was mainly passed on to you by your master, can you tell us what is important about this tea? ”

Li Yu smiled and said: "Shao Lao Ke has passed the test, about Chinese medicine, I only learned a little from the master. This kind of five-flavor drink is passed down by the master, and it only says that it can nourish the liver and brighten the eyes, as for what is important, I really can't say. ”

"I can't say it." Shao Haijin said, "When you open a medicinal food workshop, you are playing the sign of traditional Chinese medicine. In case a guest asks what kind of medicinal diet is what formula and what is the effect, you have to be able to say something, right? Otherwise, how can you reassure your guests? ”

"Secretary Shao reminded him too right." Xu Ying greeted and said, "Our next step is to hire a few old Chinese medicine doctors to sit in charge, not only to answer the guests' questions, but also to recommend which medicinal diet to choose according to the guests' physical conditions." Our medicinal diets are mainly provided by Li Yu, and we know the effects of these medicinal diets, but it is a bit difficult to say which herbs play what role. ”

Zhuang Renquan, a retired deputy mayor, said: "In fact, it is enough to explain the efficacy, and you must not disclose the specific medicinal diet formula." It's like Coca-Cola in the United States, I heard that their recipe is classified higher than the national defense secret. ”

"Economic secrets are also part of the national interest, and they also need to be kept secret." Han Hongqi said.

While we were chatting, the window of the private room opened, and the waiter handed in a large bowl. Without waiting for the waiter in the private room to step forward, Xu Yingying stood up first, put away the soup bowl in front of everyone, and personally served soup to everyone.

"Hmm, it smells so good!"

As soon as the lid of the bowl was opened, a fragrant and mellow fragrance spread, and everyone felt refreshed. Huang Jiping was the most disrespectful among them, he simply stood up, stretched his neck to look at the soup bowl, and muttered in his mouth: "It's so fragrant, Xiao Li, this is the ginseng Ling Baicao that you have been boasting about to us for a long time**?" ”

"Exactly." Li Yu nodded and replied, "This kind of chicken is made of ginseng, poria cocos, yam, licorice and other dozens of herbs, which has the effect of tonifying the spleen and stomach, invigorating qi and raising yang, and is most suitable for the elderly." ”

"I'm an old man, so I have to eat this chicken first." Huang Jiping asked unashamedly, he didn't want to think about it, except for Li Yu, Xu Yingying and another waiter in this room, who else was not an old man?

At this time, Xu Yingying had already prepared the first bowl of soup, and according to the order of seats, of course, it was handed to Han Hongqi first. Hearing Huang Jiping's words, Han Hongqi smiled, directly handed over the soup to Huang Jiping, and said, "Okay, I'm a person who respects the elderly, so I'll ask Huang Lao to taste this bowl of soup first." ”

"Haha, thank you." Huang Jiping was not polite, and just smiled. He sat down, sniffed the steam coming out of the bowl with his nose, praised it, then scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon, blew lightly a few times, and before it could be cooled, he couldn't wait to put it into his mouth.

"Ah, it's delicious! Odorous! ”

As soon as the soup was in his mouth, Huang Jiping shouted happily. This chicken soup has a Chinese herbal flavor, but it is not bitter and unbearable, but it counteracts the greasy feeling just right, leaving only the purest umami taste. With a mouthful of chicken soup in his mouth, Huang Jiping felt that all the taste buds on his tongue seemed to be mobilized, and an indescribable pleasure spread from the tip of his tongue to his whole body.

"Good!"

After swallowing the first bite of chicken soup, Huang Jiping made a short comment, and then scooped another spoonful and put it in his mouth. This time, he drank a little anxiously, and the soup had not yet cooled, and as soon as he entered his mouth, he was so hot that he inhaled the cold breath slightly. He was reluctant to spit out the soup in his mouth again, so he half-swallowed the soup and swallowed it into his stomach while inhaling, making some rather indecent sounds in his mouth.

"I said Lao Huang, you are also a little gentle, right?" Han Hongqi couldn't stand it anymore, this Lao Huang was also a person who had been mayor for a term, he hadn't eaten any delicacies, as for showing such an ugly appearance on this occasion?

"You'll know for yourself that this is definitely the best chicken soup I've ever had!" Huang Jiping shouted loudly.

At this time, Xu Yingying had already helped several old men to put the soup ready, and everyone looked at Huang Jiping's appearance, and then smelled the aroma of the soup bowl in front of them, and they couldn't help but move their index fingers. Everyone raised their spoons one after another, and after drinking the first mouthful of soup, they were all out of shape like Huang Jiping, and they couldn't wait to blow the soup cold, and rushed to send it to their mouths, and the whole table was filled with snoring sounds.

Looking at everyone's appearance, Li Yu and Xu Yingying exchanged glances and smiled. On the one hand, they laughed at these old men for being so unreserved, which was in contrast to their previous coquettish behavior, and on the other hand, they were delighted that this medicinal diet could touch the stomach of this group of people, and it seemed that this medicinal diet was really done.

Other dishes have also been passed down one after another, such as angelica salmon, almond pig lung, gastrodia tofu, bamboo drain cabbage heart, etc., each dish originates from the pharmacist's scriptures, and is a fine medicinal dish that has been repeatedly scrutinized by several generations of pharmacists. The old men originally just came with the mentality of carrying Li Yu along, and they didn't have much expectation of what good things they could eat. Unexpectedly, the beauty of the taste of these medicinal foods was far beyond their imagination. A dry of people eat so vigorously that they have long forgotten what Sven is. Every dish on the table can trigger a round of scramble among the old men.

After the five flavors of the dishes, the speed of everyone's chopsticks finally slowed down, not because these dishes were not delicious, but because their stomachs were already feeling bloated. If their families were around, they would have been surprised, because this group of old men had eaten more than twice the amount of their usual meals.

"It's good, it's distinctive, it's delicious, with such craftsmanship, I think your herb kitchen can be made into a well-known restaurant in Yuhai." Huang Jiping put down his chopsticks, smacked his lips, and praised repeatedly.

"Lao Huang is right, such a delicious medicinal diet, I guess the price can't be low, right? Xiao Li, how much does it cost to eat this table of dishes according to your pricing? Shao Haijin asked.

Li Yu smiled slightly and said: "We are also a little uncertain about the pricing, I don't know what the seniors have built." ”

"Take the high-end route, and the price can be set a little higher." Huang Jiping said, don't look at him as an old man, but he has also seen the scene, and he is not an old man who doesn't understand anything. He examined the dishes on the table, and finally said, "If I were to set the price, this table should be at least more than 2,000." ”
