Chapter 56: A Bowl of Crucian Carp Soup

When Li Youran got the news and came from the backyard, he saw four cars parked on the venue, and it seemed that the guests had already taken their seats. He went up the stairs to the service desk of the private restaurant on the second floor and asked the waiter:

"How's that, okay?"

"The guests were already seated, and Vice Mayor He and his wife, Director Xia and Mr. Jiang were all inside. There are also three drivers who have already arranged to eat at the bun shop. Said the waitress in a light gray uniform. After this period of training, she has become familiar with some key issues.

Li Youran nodded, he instructed the waiter to pay more attention to observation and report the situation at any time. Then I left the second floor and went to the kitchen to make my rounds.

In the kitchen, Chef Liu was stir-frying, his expression was focused, and the two gangs of Chapter 56 A bowl of crucian carp soup were also busy, Li Youran looked at it for a while, did not disturb them, and left alone. Chef Liu is a rigorous person, and it is undoubtedly the right choice to entrust him with carte blanche on private dishes.

In the No. 2 private room, there were a total of eight guests, Vice Mayor He and Mr. Jiang sat in the main seat by the window, with Director Xia and Secretary Lin on the left hand, Jiang Yueting and Mrs. He on the right hand seated in order, and two assistants from both sides accompanied.

Vice Mayor He had already said in advance that today was a private banquet and did not talk about official business, which made the scene not so embarrassing. The people at the table talked politely, but the content of the conversation was as light and tasteless as boiled water, as if it was just a polite exchange. Director Xia even told a few interesting stories about Tianhai City, hoping to liven up the atmosphere. Secretary Lin also took out the prepared Moutai wine and poured a glass for everyone.

The door opened, and the waiter came in with a food delivery cart. A series of seemingly ordinary ingredients but beautifully prepared dishes were served on the table, and the guests felt as if there was nothing special. Director Xia is in the chest, he plays the role of the master of ceremonies, first invited the deputy mayor He to make a toast, the guests and the host have a drink, and then he introduced the characteristics of the dishes here, and invited the big 56th chapter A bowl of crucian carp soup can be enjoyed at will.

To the surprise of most people, the dishes on the table turned out to be very delicious and delicious, far better than the two banquets at the Tianhai Hotel a few days ago, Deputy Mayor Lianhe couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect this small place to have such superb cooking skills.

There are all people who are well-informed and have tasted delicious food, and at this time, they can't help but praise one after another, and the atmosphere at the wine table is much more harmonious and lively than just now.

Only Mr. Jiang seems to be preoccupied, and in the face of delicious food, he has no appetite. Vice Mayor He understood in his heart, sighed slightly, and did not break it.

"Yellow-headed crucian carp soup." The waiter brought a small blue and white soup pot, removed the lid and reported the name of the dish.

The soup is pure milky white, and a strong smell of crucian carp immediately overflows.

"Oh." Mr. Jiang's eyes froze, and his attention was attracted to this small soup pot.

"Grandpa, do you want to drink fish soup, I'll scoop it for you." Jiang Yueting saw that her grandfather seemed to be very interested, so she took a small bowl and put a bowl of fish soup in front of her grandfather with a spoon.

Mr. Jiang seemed to remember something, he picked up the small spoon in the bowl and slowly put the steaming fish soup into his mouth.

Hey, what's it like? The fresh and mellow flavor is so thick that it can't be dissolved, which is intoxicating.

Familiar and strange, far away, seemingly close at hand. The dusty memories were uncovered by a force and slowly became clear......

In the haze, a thin boy, a white-washed green canvas school bag

"Wild boy, wild boy who doesn't have a father!" Half-sized ridicule.

"Gow, grate!" A few minions around him cheered.

Fury! The thin boy rushed towards the half-sized boy.

Bang! Fell. Get up. Bang, and was thrown to the ground again.

The half-sized laugh was arrogant.

On his body, his face was hot and painful, and his nasal cavity was full of earthy smell. But the anger made him forget all this, and come again! ……

The door opened, and the nervous boy stood outside, his nose and face swollen, his school bag with a big hole, and one foot bare.

A woman in coarse cloth.

Annoyed eyes, raised rough hands.

The boy closed his eyes and waited.

The slap never fell, and the expected scolding turned into a sigh......

A simple willow table, a coarse porcelain bowl, steaming milky fish soup.

The crucian carp soup is so thick, so fragrant, and with a special sweet taste, it is so delicious that it warms up all over the body.

In the dim light, the woman accompanied her, with one hand on her cheek, gentle gaze, and a kind smile.

"Is it good?"

"Hmm."

"Drink more, then." A slightly thick voice, revealing warmth......

"Drink more, then."

"Drink more, then." ……

The voice kept reverberating.

The hot fish soup also seems to be getting stronger......

The spoon fell on the table.

I finally remembered it, how many years have been haunting my dreams, it turns out that this is the taste of my hometown, this is the taste of my mother.

Mr. Jiang couldn't control it anymore, his white beard continued to tremble, and he burst into tears for a while.

The people at the table were all panicked, Jiang Yueting hurriedly supported her grandfather, and said eagerly:

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?"

The others also stood up and walked over to the old gentleman.

"Does it matter?" "Do you need to find a doctor?"

****************

Li leisurely returned to the service desk at the entrance on the second floor, and listened to the waiter pass on the information in the private room from time to time. After all, it was the deputy mayor and the sea

When foreign investors come, it is false to say that they are not nervous.

Hearing that there seemed to be something abnormal in the private room, Li Youran's heart tightened, and he didn't know what was going on?

Fortunately, after a while, the waiter came over again and said that the wind and waves were calm, and the guests at the table were talking, laughing and drinking, which was much better than the original atmosphere. Li Youran relaxed at this time.

Dinner lasted two and a half hours and did not end until nine o'clock.

At the end of the day, the guests came out of the private room and talked with a relaxed smile.

When passing by the service desk, the waiter introduced Li Youran to the guests, and Li Youran hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The old man with gray hair, his face turned red from excitement and wine, he took Li Youran's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Please help me tell the chef today, he is amazing, I feel the chef's heart from his work, thank you to him, and thank you."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left with the support of his granddaughter.

His face was slightly red, and Vice Mayor He, who was calm and calm, passed by the service desk, stopped, looked at Li Youran carefully a few times, and then stretched out his right hand and patted him on the shoulder twice.

"Nice, young man." Vice Mayor He said lightly, and then walked to the exit.

Then Secretary Lin handed over a business card and conveyed a meaningful smile at the same time.

"Call me for something in the future."

When the guests left, the corridor was deserted, and only the sound of the waiter cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the private room remained. Li Youran looked down at the business card in his hand, which simply read:

Lin Fan, phone number *****.

There is no other information. Li Youran was a little dazed, thought for a while, and solemnly put the business card into his arms!!
