Chen Fei was also eating at another place at this time, and he was naturally overjoyed when he received Geng Le's call, but Wang Xu came to Kyoto and didn't call him, so he couldn't be too hypocritical.
Originally, the last time he went to Zhongjiang, he was a little anxious, and when they met for the first time, he pulled Wang Xu to call him a brother, which inevitably made people feel that they had other intentions.
And after returning to Beijing, Shen Zhenghong also told him that he couldn't be in a hurry to let Wang Xu see the old man, the old man's body looks tough, but he is already over ninety years old, if Wang Xu is stubborn and disrespectful to the old man, and let the old man be angry, it will be worth the loss.
After getting Shen Zhenghong's suggestion, Shen Fei also felt that he was reckless, and answered Geng Le's call, although he was happy, he didn't rush over, and at the same time told Geng Le not to be reckless, as long as Wang Xu came to Kyoto, he had a chance.
Shen Fei was thinking about it here, but he didn't know that Shen Lao had already known the news of Wang Xu's coming to Kyoto, and even the little tricks he and his father Shen Zhenghong had done behind their backs, and the old man knew it clearly.
The large number of photos in front of Shen Lao is not for nothing, Wang Xu and Shen Bingjie always have someone around to help, but these people will not disturb the normal life of their mother and son, even if Wang Xu is arrested in Cloud City, those people will not move, waiting for news.
What Wang Xu didn't know was that if Yang Han didn't come forward one time, Shen Lao would let people take action in the end, his own grandson, how could Shen Lao really ignore it.
When people are old, their temper is stubborn. Everyone will not lack the psychology of protecting calves, Shen Lao naturally does not care about exceptions, tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention people, for the sake of face, he and his daughter have not seen each other for twenty-five years, and only he knows the bitterness.
Geng Le and Shen Fei were talking, but Wang Xu and Yun Chongzhi were talking and laughing inside at this time, and after waiting for a long time, the food came up. Gao Xuemin pointed to a dish of braised pork and said with a smile: "I heard that this is the craft of a new chef hired by the Imperial Restaurant a year ago, and it tastes very good, you can try it." As he spoke, he took a piece and put it in his mouth.
Wang Xu and Yun Chongzhi also grabbed a piece and chewed it twice in their mouths, Wang Xu's face instantly became wonderful, and he frowned while savoring it.
"What's the matter, it tastes pretty good. Can't you get used to it?" Gao Xuemin asked puzzled.
"It tastes really good, I just have a familiar taste." Wang Xu swallowed the braised pork in his mouth. said with a light smile, eating this braised pork, he couldn't help but think of the scene of tasting Liang Baohui's braised pork in Zhongjiang.
These two dishes are almost identical in terms of craftsmanship and taste, the only difference is that Liang Baohui's dish is lifeless, while this dish is full of vitality, if you taste it carefully, you can even taste a faint thought.
"Could it be that there is something between this chef and Liang Baohui?" Wang Xu couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"Familiar taste?" Gao Xuemin was even more curious: "No, I don't dare to say anything about the other dishes of this Imperial Restaurant." There are a few signature dishes that are absolutely not available elsewhere, and several of the famous chefs at Imperial Restaurant are unique in the world. ”
"I've really tasted it in Zhongjiang, and the taste is the same as the heat." Wang Xu said with a smile, and after saying that, he turned his head to look at the waiter on the side and asked, "Is the chef who makes this dish a girl in her twenties?"
"How do you know?" The waiter asked in surprise, Wang Xu and a few people were eating, and she was standing on the side all the time. She naturally heard the conversation between Wang Xu and Gao Xuemin just now, and originally thought that Wang Xu was bragging, but she didn't expect Wang Xu to reveal the identity of the chef in one bite.
The identities of several of the chefs at the Imperial Restaurant are no secret. Some of them are famous chefs in the country, showing the identity of this successor, which is itself a means of attracting customers, but the chef who makes braised pork only came a few years ago, because he is young, except for the insiders of the Imperial Restaurant, it is difficult for outsiders to know, listening to Wang Xu's accent is not a native of Kyoto, how can I know that this young man has really eaten similar dishes before.
The waiter's surprised tone, Gao Xuemin and Yun Chongzhi were also surprised, staring at Wang Xu strangely, Gao Xuemin asked out loud, "Do you know this chef?"
"I don't know, but I think I guessed her identity?" Wang Xu shook his head, and sighed in his heart, he really guessed well, this chef is Liang Baohui's daughter, originally Wang Xu thought that the other party was on Hong Kong Island, but he didn't expect it to be in Kyoto, and he met it.
"He's famous?" Gao Xuemin asked puzzled.
"Sort of." Wang Xu nodded, then looked at the waiter and said, "I don't know if I can see the other party, you can sue her, I know his father."
Hearing Wang Xu's request, the waiter hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I'll ask the manager, as long as the chef himself has no opinion, our side will not stop it." After that, he walked to the side and made a call.
"What's going on, why am I getting more and more confused?" Gao Xuemin asked.
"Let's talk about it when we meet people, this place is not convenient to explain." Wang Xu smiled lightly, if the other party is really Liang Baohui's daughter, and has already signed up for next year's Hong Kong Island Cooking Competition, his identity should be very sensitive, and he still needs to meet the other party to decide.
Liang Baohui's condition is very serious, even if he has been helping to delay for a while, but it is unknown whether he can delay until next year, if this chef is really Liang Baohui's daughter, Liang Baohui's wish should be fulfilled.
Seeing that Wang Xu was reluctant to say more, Gao Xuemin didn't ask, the three of them were eating while waiting, and the waiter called and told Wang Xu that the person in charge of the restaurant had already passed the word, and the chef would come over in person if he wanted.
Several celebrity chefs in the Imperial Restaurant have a very high status, sometimes they only cook a few dishes a day, even the manager of the restaurant can't be reluctant, and the salary is high, which is the reason why the Imperial Restaurant recruits so many chefs.
About twenty minutes later, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the private room, and then a beautiful woman about twenty-four years old walked in, dressed in casual casual clothes, her hair was tied back casually, her face was red, and her face was full of anxiety.
Wang Xu hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "It's me who took the liberty to see Miss, I hope it didn't bother you." As he spoke, Wang Xu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "If Miss doesn't mind, sit down and talk."
The girl who came in nodded, nodded generously to Wang Xu and the three of them, and walked to the edge of the dining table, where the waiter hurriedly added a stool and a pair of chopsticks.
"I heard that Sir knows my father, does Sir know my father's name?" After sitting down, the girl couldn't wait to ask.
"He has two names, one is Liang Baohui and the other is Liang Baoming, I don't know which one the young lady knows?" Wang Xu said.
Listening to the name that came out of Wang Xu's mouth, the girl's breathing instantly became short, and she didn't care about Gao Xuemin and Yun Chongzhi who were sitting next to her, grabbed Wang Xu's arm and said, "You really know him, is he okay?" As she asked, tears welled up in the girl's eyes and her voice choked.
"It's not good, I don't have much life left, and I don't know how long it can last." Wang Xu sighed and said honestly, now he can be sure that this girl is definitely Liang Baohui's daughter.
"How could it be ......" The tears in the girl's eyes instantly dripped down, and she choked up, crying silently when she said three words.
"Miss, don't be sad, he's still alive, and you still have a chance to meet." Wang Xu comforted him.
Only then did the girl feel her gaffe, and hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Let you see and laugh, I haven't had time to introduce myself, my name is Liang Qianru."
Hearing the girl report her name, Wang Xu nodded clearly, this is really Liang Baohui's girl, the Liang Qianru who signed up for the Hong Kong Island Cooking Competition.
"It's nothing, I can understand your feelings." Wang Xu said with a light smile, and then introduced himself, and also introduced Gao Xuemin and Yun Chongzhi.
"It turns out that you are Elder Gao, I have heard of your name a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet a real person." Hearing that it was Gao Xuemin and Elder Gao who were seated, Liang Qianru hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Sit down, you're welcome, I'm a bad old man." Gao Xuemin waved his hand, and through the dialogue between Wang Xu and Liang Qianru, Gao Xuemin also guessed a little, and asked tentatively: "If I remember correctly, the Hong Kong Island Kitchen God more than 20 years ago was Liang Baohui, but your father?"
"Yes, my father was the culinary god of the Hong Kong Island Cooking Competition more than 20 years ago, and then he was framed, and my mother and I always thought that he had been killed, but I didn't expect him to be alive." Liang Qianru nodded, and said in a low voice, the love is much better than just now, it can be seen that this girl is very strong, and she must have suffered a lot over the years?
"It turned out to be the god of cooking, no wonder." Yun Chongzhi couldn't help but sigh.
"After my father was framed, my mother and I escaped, and my grandfather was also lucky to be alive, our family fled to the mainland, and my cooking skills were also taught by my grandfather, but unfortunately he died six years ago." Liang Qianru muttered.
After saying that, Liang Qianru turned her head to look at Wang Xu and said, "Mr. Wang, can you tell me in detail about my father, I haven't seen him yet, but in my heart, he is my idol."
"That's fine." Wang Xu nodded, starting with the dish of braised pork, and slowly told Liang Qianru what happened, he said it very carefully, and Liang Qianru also listened very carefully, and when Wang Xu finished speaking, Liang Qianru couldn't cry again, and her cheeks were already filled with tears.
"Your father learned that you participated in next year's Hong Kong Island Cooking Competition, only to know that you are alive, reawakened the desire for life, let me help him delay until next year's Spring Festival, but his situation is very strict, whether it can be delayed until next year, I am not the slightest sure, fortunately, good people have good rewards, your father and daughter finally have a goodbye day, maybe to see you, his mood is very good, and the condition will be relieved." Wang Xu said in a low voice. (To be continued.) You are welcome to come to the Biquge www.biquge.info to vote for recommendation and monthly passes.
