Chapter 23: Nine Yang Cheats

At the beginning of the lanterns, Chengnan Street is still brightly lit and prosperous.

And the Hefeng Building in the night, but it seems to be more and more depressed, there are not many guests, the five-story private room, the occupancy rate is less than 30%, most of the people who come here are nostalgic, and the rich gentry who have interests entangled with the Zhao family.

After eating stewed and steamed vegetables for thousands of years, the refreshing taste of stir-fried vegetables, and the popularity of stir-fried vegetables in Jiangning City, it is difficult to resist the temptation of those rich gentry. Anyone who invites guests and doesn't take the guests to the Zheng family's restaurant is embarrassed to go out to say hello.

On the third floor of Hefeng Building, in a small room, Uncle Tang was sitting at the table sullenly drinking to himself.

Uncle Tang's original name was Tang Zheng, but he was over fifty years old and had been a cook in the Zhao family for 30 years, so he was called Uncle Tang.

Once upon a time, Uncle Tang was also a well-known chef in Jiangning City, especially for cooking good fish and being famous in Jiangning for his skills in scorching fish.

Only this time, in the face of the Zheng family's wide variety of stir-fried dishes, Uncle Tang could only bow down.

Seeing that Hefeng Building, which he had worked hard for decades, was getting worse and worse, Uncle Tang was anxious, but he was helpless.

"It seems that I am really old, it's time to retire to the field, but I'm sorry for the master's family......" Uncle Tang muttered, his face full of frustration and gloom.

The light shone on his silver threads, and it became more and more old and desolate. Just past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, Uncle Tang was not so old, but in just a month, his hair turned gray by two or three percent.

In fact, Hefeng Lou is unsustainable and on the verge of closure, and the most uncomfortable thing is not the main family, but he who has devoted 30 years of hard work to the restaurant.

After all, for the main family, this is just an insignificant property, but for him, it is the hard work and concern of most of his life, and it is difficult to give up.

"Tomorrow I will ask the Lord to apologize for my sins......

Although he made up his mind, he was a little reluctant in his heart after all, and after thirty years of hard work, he really didn't want to end it in this way, but what could he do?

"If you have to resign, you should go to Beijing and learn how to stir-fry vegetables, so as to live up to the ......trust of the Zhao family for two generations" Uncle Tang's mind flashed, and his eyes gradually revealed a bright light.

He drank the remnants of wine from the cup, slowly stood up, and then saw a weak figure, and looked startled.

"Gong, Gongzi......" With the help of the not-so-bright light, he finally saw the comer.

"Uncle Tang has worked hard for Hefeng Lou for thirty years, how can he leave and let him be shut down?" Zhao Hao's face was full of kindness, looked at Uncle Tang, and said lightly.

"Tang Zheng, force: 15; Intelligence: 25; Speed: 16; Light work: 11; Politics: 15; Command: 35; Health: 82; Host-loyalty: 95, host-friendability: 80. ”

With the system, Zhao Hao naturally no longer believes in any verbal or even operational loyalty, he only believes in the system data and speaks with data.

Zhao Hao was actually a half-baked cook in his previous life, he once co-opened a restaurant, but due to the bad location and other reasons, he announced his closure half a year later, and finally had to work as a network administrator in a black bar.

As a half-baked chef, it is natural to use a computer-controlled excavator to stir-fry vegetables, but ordinary home-cooked dishes can still be fried, and the recipes have been turned over a lot, and it is no problem to make dozens of tricks of stir-frying casually.

It's just a job of stir-frying, so naturally he won't do it himself, let alone whether his identity is suitable. The most important thing is that as a waste material, first incarnated as a gambling god, and then transformed into a poet, it is already a bit unreasonable.

"Uncle Tang, I asked someone to find a book of cooking secrets, which is dedicated to the secret art of stir-frying, and please take a look. I think Uncle Tang was originally a famous chef in Jiangning, if he studied according to this book, how could he lose to the Zheng family? ”

What Zhao Hao handed Tang Zheng was a thick booklet, with six big characters on the cover: "Jiuyang Stir-fry Recipes".

This book is the famous chef Zhao Gongzi of the Great Song Dynasty painstaking work, it took Zhao Gongzi three days to write, the culmination of the stir-fry skills after 900 years, it is the world's first stir-fry cheats, a total of 72 dishes.

Tang Zheng naturally didn't recognize Zhao Hao's words, but he was skeptical of this so-called cheat - he had been a cook for most of his life, and it was the first time he heard that there were cheats for stir-frying, but because of the child's affection, he had to follow with a dignified face.

Dead horses are used as live horse doctors, whether they succeed or not, at least they have to try.

Tang Zheng trembled and opened the "secret book", and when he saw the lines of vigorous and powerful handwriting, his eyes were slightly bright, like a drowning man grasping a straw.

Although this "cheats" seems mysterious, the content is really like that.

"Second Style: Kung Pao Chicken."

"The third type: fish-flavored shredded pork."

"Fourth Style: Secret Kimchi."

……

The description in the book is extremely detailed, from the main dish to the ingredients, to the stir-fry steps, and even the precise heat and time, Mo said that a celebrity chef like Tang Zheng can operate according to the recipe even if it is an ordinary chef.

Although I don't know what the actual taste is, the doorway still looks very powerful, and even Tang Zheng was stunned for a while.

It's just that, since it's a cheats, it's probably the kind that is old and the paper is yellowed, and the paper in this book is brand new, and even the ink seems to have a few places that haven't dried......

"This book is related to the survival of my Zhao family in the restaurant in Jiangning City, but Uncle Tang has served the Zhao family for 30 years, I have no doubt, and I also asked Uncle Tang to spend ten days studying the wonders. At the same time, I will find two more henchmen, and I will have to test their loyalty before I can let them study, remember, remember! ”

"The matter of studying the secret skills of stir-frying, no one who has nothing to do with it shall know, and from tomorrow onwards, guests will no longer be accepted on the fourth and fifth floors, so that Uncle Tang can study. I will transfer the elite from the mansion to guard it, so as not to disturb Uncle Yun. ”

After Zhao Hao explained again and again, he led the crowd to leave.

Seeing that Zhao Hao had left half a pillar of incense, Tang Zheng woke up like a dream, thought for a while, and immediately hurried to the kitchen with the cheats.
