Chapter 200: The Strange Story of a Private Restaurant

At seven o'clock in the evening, the private restaurant came to the busiest time of the day.

After the expansion of the business, the four private rooms were filled with customers every night, and the second floor, which had been relatively clean, became lively.

The workload of the staff of the private restaurant has also increased greatly, and the four waiters are all dispatched to shuttle back and forth between the rooms.

Dressed in a neat uniform, the foreman Xiao Zhou was picking up the dining car from the delivery port on the Taipei side of the service, and then methodically instructed his subordinates to serve food in order to each private room.

In the "Lan" private room, eight guests have already taken their seats. An obese man in his fifties sat on the main seat by the window, talking and laughing.

He is the owner of today's Dongdong, and there is a record in the service desk register, this person's surname is Wei, and he is the owner of a certain company. He is here today to feast on his friends.

Unlike the chubby Boss Wei, sitting next to him was a skinny middle-aged man with a yellowish complexion and slightly sunken eye sockets, which was in stark contrast to Boss Wei's wealth.

Boss Wei himself is a gourmet, and he has been to the private restaurant twice, and not long ago, he heard that there was a new Class B banquet here, so he did not hesitate to change the benchmark table booked half a month ago. And full of anticipation, hoping to get new surprises.

Everyone was discussing some business matters, when the door of the private room opened, and the waiter began to serve the food.

The dishes are placed on the table in order, the exquisite shape, the tangy aroma, before the start, has already made the mouth and the index finger move.

Today's main dish is a steamed fish, which is made with a flower that weighs more than two catties. The flower potential can grow very big, five or six catties or even more than a dozen catties, but the meat quality is not as delicate as the current weight.

"Come on, come on, we'll talk about business later. You're welcome, everyone, eat it while it's hot, it's much worse when it's cold. Boss Wei stood up.

So, the eight guests at the table all took the chopsticks and the spoons and began to enjoy the food.

Sure enough...... The Grade B banquet did not disappoint Boss Wei and all the guests, and the taste and taste were obviously higher than the benchmark banquets I had eaten before, especially the steamed fish, and the heat was just right...... It fully reflects the original flavor of the flowers, the taste is delicate and smooth, and the aroma is not as strong as the methods of braised and dry roast, but it is better than nature, stretches for a long time, and makes people have an endless aftertaste.

"Good fish, good tricks!" Boss Wei praised loudly.

He glanced at the small label on the oval plate, on which was written a Chen character.

"It turned out to be Chef Chen's work, and it was worth the trip." Boss Wei took a fancy to Jing Mu because he understood the situation of the private restaurant.

Naturally, someone at the same table asked who Chef Chen was, and Boss Wei explained in detail...... Caused a wave of admiration.

The appetite of the crowd was aroused...... You're welcome anymore...... Pick up your favorite dish and say hello.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room became warm.

At this time, Boss Wei made a new discovery, that is, the seasonings in today's dishes, such as green onions and ginger, are different from the taste tasted in the past, and ordinary people will not pay attention to these, but Boss Wei calls himself a gourmand and naturally pays attention to these details.

That's right, the taste of green onion and ginger is pungent but not strong...... Pure and natural, the aroma is long-lasting, but it does not dominate, but the delicious taste contained in the main material is extracted to the maximum and brought out to the fullest.

It seems that even the seasonings have been replaced with high-end products in this newly launched Grade B banquet, and the private restaurant is really meticulous. Boss Wei thought secretly.

However, unlike the high-spirited performance of the other people present, the thin middle-aged man next to Boss Wei looked indifferent, slowly picked up a piece of fried rape, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, facing the table full of delicacies, as if he was not interested at all. …,

"Lao Zhao, why do you eat green vegetables, come and taste this fish, it's rare to see." A man with a round head at the same table greeted.

"Mr. Zhang, you can eat by yourself, don't worry about me, I have a taste of everything I eat now." Lao Zhao said, his expression a little gloomy.

"What's going on?" Mr. Zhang asked strangely, and the others also cast inquiring glances.

"Hey, you guys don't know. Lao Zhao was hospitalized with a serious illness at the beginning of the year, and after being discharged from the hospital, his tongue became sluggish and he almost lost his sense of taste. It is said to be caused by an overdose. Boss Wei sighed and explained to everyone present.

"Then this is medical malpractice, why don't you look for them?" Mr. Zhang asked angrily.

"I looked for it, and the medical association of the area where the hospital belongs has done an appraisal, and said that it was not an unexpected accident, but a problem with my own physique." Lao Zhao shook his head and said.

This incident hit him hard, he used to be a lover of food, he tasted delicious food from all over the world, but now he lost one of the great pleasures of this life, and not only that, because of the loss of taste, the daily diet became a task and a burden, he had no appetite, and his health was much worse than his predecessor.

Later, I went around asking for medical advice, but to no avail. The doctor always told him to eat less spicy food and more light food, and it would be better after a long time. But now, it has been more than half a year, and the symptoms have not improved at all.

When the people at the same table heard this, they were all embarrassed, and the warm atmosphere just now also cooled down a lot.

"Leave me alone, you go on, I heard that this store is difficult to rank, don't affect your interest, then I'm sorry." Lao Zhao apologized.

"Or, I'll give you a spicy dish and I'll always get a little taste." Mr. Zhang proposed.

"Hehe, I used to be very spicy, but now I can't, no matter how good the chili pepper is, even if it's a Hainan yellow lantern board, I can't feel anything." Lao Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Try it, I've heard from others that the chili peppers here are very spicy, and the kitchen is boiled in boiling water before daring to use a small amount."

So, Mr. Zhang took matters into his own hands, found the waiter, explained the situation to her, and asked the kitchen to add a cold dish and put more chili peppers rumored in private restaurants.

The waiter told the foreman Xiao Zhou of the guest's request, and Xiao Zhou didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he called Chef Chen in the kitchen to explain the matter.

On the phone, Chef Chen was silent for a moment and said that he would think about it.

About ten minutes later, the food is delivered on the side of the service desk. A small plate of hot and sour cucumber strips was delivered, indicating that it was sent to the "Lan" private room, saying that it was a small dish as a gift.

In the private room with the "Lan" brand, Lao Zhao looked at the plate of cold dishes in front of him, red and green, and very beautiful. The fragrance of cucumber and vinegar is very attractive.

At the same time, a glass of white water was delivered, according to the foreman Zhou just now, let him drink water first, moisten his mouth, and then eat cold dishes. If the spicy is unbearable, continue to drink water to relieve it.

Lao Zhao didn't think that this cold dish would make him eat anything, but for the sake of his friend's kindness, he should accept it.

The other people at the table saw that the matter was over, so they drank and ate their own food and tasted the food.

Lao Zhao picked up the cup and took a sip, only to find that this water was not ordinary, cool and sweet, refreshing. There is also a special moisturizing feeling, and the tongue and mouth become very comfortable.

Good water, it should be the best mountain spring water. Lao Zhao secretly praised.

Next, he picked up a cucumber strip and a few red strips with chopsticks and put them in his mouth, the fragrance of cucumber rushed into his nose, but his tongue still couldn't feel it, which was also expected, not surprising.

He took a few bites, ready to swallow. At this moment, a long-lost prickly sensation came from the tip of his tongue.

What is this, he was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, the trace of stimulation turned into a bundle and spread from the tip of his tongue to the entire surface of his tongue. …,

It's spicy, it's actually appeared, I can't believe it.

He closed his eyes and felt that the spicy sensation was getting stronger and stronger, penetrating straight into his tongue with great force.

However, this is not the same as the hottest pepper he remembers, although it is spicy and penetrating, it is not nasal and intuitively does not cause any damage to the oral mucosa.

Under this intense continuous stimulation, the dormant taste buds seem to have begun to wake up, stretch their waists, gradually become active, and even feel a little bit of the fresh taste in the hot.

Fine beads of sweat also appeared on Lao Zhao's forehead.

"Lao Zhao, are you okay?" Boss Wei was beside him, and seeing that he was a little abnormal, he hurriedly asked with concern.

Lao Zhao swallowed the melon strips, opened his eyes, picked up the meal paper on the table and wiped the sweat on his forehead and face.

"It's so spicy, I can already feel it." After he said this, he took another sip of the glass and put it in his mouth.

The water quickly knocked down the spiciness.

"Lao Zhao, you have tasted the spicy taste, it's amazing." Mr. Zhang also asked in surprise.

The people at the table immediately began to talk about it.

Lao Zhao paused for a while, feeling good, so he picked up another bean and tasted it, this time the tip of the tongue actually had a slightly sweet and crispy feeling, although it was very weak, but it was really there.

He was very excited and explained the situation to the people at the table.

Everyone else was amazed, saying that Lao Zhao was really lucky this time.

Some also let him eat more spicy noodles, and then strengthen the stimulation, he may get better faster.

Boss Wei was well-informed and raised objections at this time.

"I can't eat anymore, this time it's a coincidence, it's the opposite, it's crooked. The taste buds of the tongue soil have just regained their senses, and they must be fragile and can no longer be stimulated, otherwise it will be counterproductive. From now on, you can only eat light food, and slowly raise it, and you can't get tobacco or alcohol. Of course, it's best to go to the hospital again for a check-up. ”

Lao Zhao thought about it for a while and felt that this was very reasonable, so he adopted it. Don't touch that plate of hot and sour melon strips anymore.

No one here expected to catch up with such a play today, which is really a bit legendary.

So they toasted Lao Zhao one after another, wishing him a speedy recovery of sores.

Lao Zhao was also full of red light, holding the cup of mountain spring water and clinking glasses with everyone frequently.

At the end of the banquet, Lao Zhao specially found Xiao Zhou, the foreman, and thanked her again and again, and thanked the chef who cooked.

When foreman Xiao Zhou heard the ins and outs of this matter, he also felt incredible, and he had to reflect it on the back. However, she was also sincerely happy that the guest was able to improve, so she said a few words of congratulations, and then sent the guest out.
