Chapter 069: But the daughter of the market
At noon the next day, escorted by a team of officers and soldiers, Ai Gaoyi, the prime minister of Yuan Chu, appeared in the No. 1 private room of Shiwei Garden. In order to show respect and love for the Prime Minister, and to ensure the safety of the Prime Minister, the Food Garden was closed for the entire morning.
Jian Ning, as the owner of the Food Garden, and Ai Gaoyi, the chef of Ai Gaoyi's meal this time, were naturally waiting at the door of the Food Garden.
The first time I really saw this powerful prime minister, who was at the head of the hundred officials, Jian Ning did not have the nervousness of ordinary people, but more curiosity and scrutiny.
Although Ai Gaoyi is the prime minister and a civilian official, he is not weak at all, and he has a strong momentum all over his body, which can be compared to the general of the bloody battlefield. Jian Ning knew that it was the momentum formed by years of high position, and it was tempered by years of officialdom struggle.
Look at Ai Gaoyi's face again, it is a resolute face with vicissitudes. The years have left obvious marks on his face, and it is obvious that it is a face in his forties, nearly fifty.
Ai Gaoyi's facial features are very ordinary, and there is nothing particularly impressive, but the only thing Jian Ning remembers is those eyes. It is a pair of eyes that can never be forgotten, and his special is not that it is beautiful, but that it is too deep, or too incomprehensible.
When Ai Gaoyi walked in, everyone was saluting, and so was Jian Ning. But Jian Ning couldn't help but notice Ai Gaoyi's eyes, because those eyes had been paying attention to herself.
Jian Ning looked up suspiciously, but what she saw was a pair of unwavering, inquiring, and then gentle, charitable eyes. For a moment, Jian Ning even believed that the person in front of her was a kind and approachable uncle.
Thinking that when she looked closely, Jian Ning saw a trace of ruthlessness and viciousness that flashed quickly in her eyes, and the feeling was as if she was being watched tightly by a poisonous snake, which made people shudder. But that feeling was too fast, and Jian Ning didn't have time to see it clearly.
It was that suffocating feeling that Jian Ning really believed that the uncle in front of him was the prime minister. How can a man who has climbed to the top of power be a kind person, how can he not be ruthless!
In the end, the figure disappeared from Jian Ning's sight, and entered the No. 1 private room under the guidance of Liu Leshan. Jian Ning followed.
"Prime Minister, it is a great honor for you to come to Shiweiyuan. All the dishes today will have the owner of our food garden, who is also the only daughter of the previous boss Jane, to make zuò for you. Liu Leshan always smiled, said very official and polite words, and handed the menu to Ai Gaoyi with both hands, "Please also ask the Prime Minister to order." ”
But the prime minister didn't seem to be in a hurry to eat at all, put down the menu, and then looked at Jian Ning, and said in a deep and then majestic voice: "Did you learn your cooking skills from your father Jian Baiwei?" ”
Although Jian Ning felt that Ai Gaoyi's question was a little strange, she still replied without hesitation: "The basic skills are taught by her father, but in order to make more delicious food, the little girl has also studied a lot of dishes on her own. ”
Jian Ning casually came up with a reason, of course, this is the best explanation. If Jian Ning directly answered no, Ai Gaoyi might have to ask her who she studied under and why she didn't learn from her father. If the answer is to learn from his father, then it will be easy to debunk the dishes after a while, because Jian Baiwei can make famous dishes, Jian Ning has not learned so far, the key is that his own dishes are too far from the dishes made by Jian Baiwei, and they are completely two styles.
But now Jian Ning's answer can be said to be impeccable, because she only said the basic skills, and the basic skills of cooking skills are almost the same, and she can't see any fame at all. As for the dishes, she also said that she likes to research new dishes on her own.
"It seems that Jian Baiwei gave birth to a good daughter and inherited the craftsmanship he is proud of!" Ai Gaoyi said a sentence as if he was feeling and praised.
Jian Ning didn't know why, his head wrinkled slightly, he didn't like what Ai Gaoyi said, there was no why, he just rejected it from the bottom of his heart.
"The prime minister has figured out what to eat, as long as you can make zuò here, the little girl can perform for you on the spot immediately." Jian Ning didn't want to say more to Ai Gaoyi. Although he has lived for 28 years, he has never dealt with people in officialdom, especially people who have been rolling in officialdom for decades.
She always felt that every word of Ai Gaoyi was something in his words, and every question he asked had a purpose. She really didn't want to bother to guess, to think about what Ai Gaoyi said.
"I've long heard that the No. 1 private room in Shiwei Garden can cook on the spot, so I'll see it today." Ai Gaoyi said very heartily, then took the menu on the table, quickly browsed the side, and said: "I only order one dish today, and a hundred birds will return to the nest." As for the other dishes, it's up to Miss Jane to decide! ”
"The ugly words have to be said in front, the second day after the prime minister came to Yangxin County, he came to the food garden, don't let down the good intentions of the prime minister and smash your own signboard!"
"Rest assured, Prime Minister, the little girl will do her best to satisfy you." After Jian Ning finished speaking, she bowed and went to the side to write down the ingredients to be used for a while.
originally thought that Ai Gaoyi was going to have some problem to make things difficult for himself, but fortunately, he didn't deliberately make things difficult.
"Come on, change tea!" Jian Ning handed a handwritten list of ingredients and the name of the tea to be served next to Xiao Er.
"Why do you need to change the tea?" Ai Gaoyi asked suspiciously. People like him can taste the quality of tea with a sip, and what he drank just now is the best Longjing tea, which is already a first-class tea, and there is no need to change the tea at all?
"The Prime Minister doesn't know that if you pair the right tea with different dishes, you will get the best out of the flavor of the dishes." Liu Leshan explained carefully on the side. In fact, Jian Ning only told him later. He hadn't noticed such details before.
"Oh! Is there anything else you say? Ai Gaoyi was obviously the first time he had heard of it, and he seemed a little skeptical.
"Actually, it's just taking advantage of the aroma of tea. Each tea has its own unique aroma and taste, and as long as it is used well, it can be used to produce a subtle taste in the mouth of the dishes that the guests will eat later. Jian Ning said as she sorted out the utensils.
"The Prime Minister is also a gourmet person, so I think you will be able to appreciate the beauty of this in a while."
"It seems that this trip is in vain! Why didn't I know that Miss Jian was still such a thoughtful person! There is more than one meaning in Ai Gaoyi's words.
But Jian Ning still only said politely according to the superficial meaning: "The prime minister has praised it falsely, the little girl is just a vulgar woman in the market, and she can't afford such praise from the prime minister." ”
Jian Ning's words clearly explained that he was just a small person, and it was normal for him to not know about the prime minister, and he didn't dare to accept the praise of the prime minister. In fact, sometimes you have to keep a low profile and pretend to be stupid. Before there is enough strength, the faster the smart person tends to die!
