Zhu Lao Er was dressed very clean and formal, this dress was specially prepared by him for the meeting of his in-laws that day, Su Le was still wearing his copycat Adi + Nike suit, and the master and apprentice transferred two buses before coming to the banquet hall located in Dongting Old Street.

The afterglow of the sunset shrouds this Dongting old street, this old street is the most intact street in Nanwu, most of the buildings are the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, of course, most of them have been renovated, walking into the Dongting old street is like walking into the picture scroll of history, especially when stepping on the sunset towards the twilight, you can feel a kind of vicissitudes and heaviness that have been washed by time.

Although Zhu Lao Er has always lived in Nanwu, he has not been to this Dongting Old Street for fifteen years, and in his subconscious, he has been avoiding this place.

Su Le pointed to the antique three-story building in front of him, the building is obviously a little dilapidated, but the signboard should be new, black and gold paint, written on the three vigorous and powerful characters of the banquet hall, the inscription is Yu Zuozhou, the inscription is now the vice chairman of the CPPCC, when he wrote this word, he was still in Nanwu as the head of the Municipal Propaganda Department.

Zhu Lao Er took out a pair of glasses out of nowhere and put them on, looking a little more bookish, staring at the signboard of Yanxitang for a long time, as if he was touched by the big characters on it, and unconsciously returned to the era of apprenticeship in Yanxitang.

Su Le always felt that there was an indescribable funny in his body when he saw him, but he couldn't tell where the funny was.

It coincided with the weekend, the business of the banquet hall was very good, when the master and apprentice came, there were only a few vacant seats left in the hall, I don't know if it was because there had been a change of buddy here, or because Zhu Lao had not patronized here for more than 20 years, in short, no one recognized Zhu Laoer, the proud disciple of the southeast kitchen god.

Zhu Lao Er put on reading glasses but it seemed a little redundant, the two sat down in a remote corner, Su Le picked up the menu and handed it to Zhu Lao Er.

Zhu Lao Er casually flipped through the menu, sighed softly and said, "It's changed, it's all changed." ”

Su Le smiled: "You haven't been here for more than ten years, change is normal, this is called keeping pace with the times." If you want to adapt to the trend of the times, you have to change. ”

Zhu Lao Er looked at the gate and said: "The business is not as good as before, there used to be a bench at the door, which was specially arranged for the waiting guests, and at this time, the upstairs and downstairs private rooms and halls were already full." ”

Su Le flipped through the recipe and saw the Eight Treasures Immortal Egg on the special dishes page: "Master, this!" When he was pointing, he looked at the price of 48 yuan.

Zhu Lao Er shook his head and said, "The current chef is Cao Shusheng, he is not my master's official apprentice, how can he make Eight Treasures Immortal Eggs?" There was disdain in his tone.

Su Le said: "Then devil crab!" "Young people love to try new things, and the same is true when it comes to food.

Zhu Lao Er glanced at it, the price was 168, he glared at Su Le fiercely and said, "Do you please or do I invite?" It's not that he feels sorry for his wallet, but that this dish is not a feature of Yanxitang, and it should be a newly developed dish by the current chef Cao Shusheng.

"Master, I want to invite you, but I only have 200 yuan on my body, and I don't have enough strength to do it, besides, you said you want to treat me today."

"Lao Tzu's treat didn't let you order such an expensive dish! Why did you accept such an apprentice as you, you can't even order food. ”

Su Le said: "Master, haven't you heard that ordering food now is different from the past, and you only choose the expensive ones and don't choose the right ones." ”

"I'm sorry, Lao Tzu didn't take you out to let you eat and drink, I just let you get familiar with the atmosphere and environment of the banquet hall, and now that the competition is coming, we have to make some preparations."

Su Le said: "If you are familiar with the environment, you have to eat, if we just sit here and drink people's free tea, and don't order food, the waiter will have to use a stick to drive us out." ”

Zhu Lao Er said: "dare!" The tradition of the banquet hall is to treat all guests equally, whether you order a dish or a table, the service is the same. Seeing that Su Le turned the menu to the page of wild soft-shelled turtles again, Zhu Lao Er hurriedly grabbed it: "I'll order it!" ”

The waiter came with an ordering machine, and now the restaurant uses this high-tech gadget, which looks like a mobile phone, and the price comes out when ordering. Zhu Lao Er doesn't like any high-tech, think about it or the past, every waiter has practiced a good hand.

Zhu Lao Er ordered a shredded potato and fried a shredded green pepper and pork, both of which were less than fifty yuan.

The waiter's face was already drooping when she ordered, and she recommended: "It's the first time for you to come to Yanxitang, why don't I recommend a few special dishes to the two of you, our store's signature dishes devil crab and soft-shelled turtle rice are good, you might as well try it." ”

Su Lele looked at Zhu Laoer.

Zhu Lao Er's head shook like a rattle: "I don't eat aquatic products, these dishes are very good." ”

The waiter's face was obviously not good-looking: "Are you two drinking?" ”

Zhu Lao Er said: "Don't drink!" ”

The waiter grabbed the recipe and left without saying a word.

Su Le smiled and said, "Master, is this what you always say about treating everyone equally?" ”

Zhu Lao Er said: "Why does this waiter have such an attitude?" The signboard of the banquet hall is smashed in the hands of these grandsons! ”

Su Le said: "Now everywhere you go is to watch people order dishes, your consumption amount is directly linked to the bonus that the waiter may get, you just order such a dish, it is strange that people can be happy." ”

Zhu Lao Er said: "If she is unhappy or not, it will matter to me, let her be happy, her wallet will be thin, and Lao Tzu will not be happy." When he spoke, he found that Su Legen was not listening, this kid's eyes were staring at the door, Zhu Lao Er followed his gaze, but saw seven or eight young men and girls walking in from outside the door, Su Le stared at the one in the center, the girl was Tang Shi, Tang Shi couldn't help but attract Su Le's attention as soon as he appeared, and also attracted the attention of many diners in the hall.

The beauty of Tang poems is obviously more tempting than the signature dishes of Yanxitang.

Tang Shi didn't like this kind of gaze, her face was covered with a layer of shyness, her long black eyelashes were hanging down, and her gaze was mainly focused on her feet, which made her ignore Su Le, who was sitting in the corner.

The group of young men went up the stairs and went straight to the private room upstairs.

Su Le's eyes chased Tang Shi's back until it disappeared completely, and there was a sudden sharp pain in his head, but it was Zhu Lao Er who turned his chopsticks and smashed them heavily on his head, Su Le gasped in pain: "Master......"

Zhu Lao Er grinned and said with a wicked smile: "Complaining? ”

Su Le said: "Cut, I'm so pure!" ”

"Pure fart, the look in your eyes just now hated to rip off the clothes on that little girl."

Su Le said: "Master, let's not bring this, I have been described by you as a nymphomaniac." ”

"What's wrong with nymphomaniac? Food, color, this is all human nature, apprentice, don't blame the master for not reminding you, when you see a good dish, you must take the first step to rip it into the basket, even if you don't eat it, you have to lick it first, stained with your own saliva, others can't start, there are two things in this world that you can't do, food and beauty, and there are two things in this world that you have to do yourself to feel the benefits, and it is also food and beauty, you must taste it yourself and try it yourself. ”

Su Le felt that Master's words were very reasonable, although he said them with a disgusting expression, but his words were not rough.

Zhu Lao Er narrowed his eyes and said: "Then again, the girl just now is really good, but she is a little thinner, the woman is too thin to give birth, apprentice, the master will teach you a trick, to see a woman, you must first look at the buttocks, the bigger the buttocks, the more flavorful." ”

Su Le smiled, Zhu Lao'er's words were obviously based on his daughter Zhu Xiaojiao.

Zhu Lao Er said: "Laughing fart, you stared at that little girl for a long time, and people didn't even look at you, I think you can only dream." ”

Su Le said: "I'm not the only one who looks at her, who doesn't like to watch beautiful women?" ”

Zhu Lao Er said: "This proves that there is too much problem with the dishes of Yanxitang, if the dishes of Yanxitang can still maintain the level of my master's life, then even the appearance of beautiful women will not attract the attention of such people, although the attraction of beauties is great, but the attraction of food is by no means inferior to that of beauties." No matter how beautiful a woman looks, she is only attracted to the opposite sex, and the food is ready, regardless of men, women and children, all of them are killed! ”

When the master and apprentice talked, the dishes came, shredded potatoes and shredded green pepper pork, although these two dishes were ordinary, but they were very testing the chef's knife skills, Zhu Lao Er glanced at the shredded potatoes, which was actually sifted out by a sieve, and couldn't help but shake his head, he was too lazy to move the chopsticks, and then looked at the plate of shredded green pepper meat, green peppers and shredded bamboo shoots were cut unevenly, not to talk about the taste, just looking at the knife work was already a passing line.

Su Le took a bite of shredded pork with green peppers, this dish Zhu Lao Er often made when he was in the canteen of the meat factory, so Su Le naturally had a standard in his heart, whether it was knife work or taste, it was a hundred times worse than the master's level, but a plate of shredded green pepper meat here cost 28 yuan, and the master's fried shredded green pepper shredded pork was only a fraction of it here.

Zhu Lao Er never moved his chopsticks, looked at Su Le and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Le said: "The selection of shredded meat is not good, the use is not tenderloin, naturally can not fry the tender texture of the tenderloin, the knife work is too poor, the green pepper and bamboo shoots are cut unevenly, and the natural heating is uneven after entering the pot, so that the heat is different, and the root cannot reflect the crispness of green pepper and bamboo shoots." MSG is too heavy, this dish is really a failure, not to mention that it is not as good as you, Master, even compared to me. "Following Zhu Laoer's side, Su Le has also improved a lot.

Zhu Lao Er nodded and said: "These two dishes should be fried by apprentices, but Cao Shusheng, as the head chef, actually let such a shoddy dish be put on the dining table of diners, obviously not strict and lack a sense of responsibility, from this point of view, the decline of Yanxi Hall is no accident." ”

Su Le said: "I originally planned to come over to learn something, but judging from these two dishes, Yanxitang is nothing more than that." ”
