Chapter 43: I'm going to be a demon again
"My lord, please use tea." Zhong Xiaodi lowered his eyebrows and entered the private room with a smile, handed over the tea cup in his hand delicately, and finally glanced at Master Li timidly.
When I saw this, I was secretly happy in my heart.
I didn't expect the county lord Li to be so elegant and white, although he looks nearly forty years old, he is not young, but he has good facial features, is full of books, and is an official who eats imperial food, he can't say that he will be promoted in the future, Zhong Xiaodi is more satisfied the more he thinks about it.
The smile on her face became even more coquettish, and she pretended to be delicate and raised her hand to stroke her hair, she held herself beautiful and beautiful, and immediately felt that she and Master Li were really talented and beautiful, and they were a natural pair.
"Hmm." Master Li replied lightly, didn't take the cup of tea, but took the menu handed over by Yin Zhige, and after reading it silently, he chuckled, and then seemed to be in a good mood, and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, your cook's dishes are really more and more varied." ”
It turned out to be more diverse than the dishes at the Rong family's banquet that day, except for boiled pork slices and the like, there were many more dishes that I had never heard of.
"Today's official is really the right one." Master Li smiled slightly, and then ordered six or seven fresh dishes in a row, and then returned the menu.
Yin Zhige wrote it down, glanced at Zhong Xiaodi, who was still looking at Master Li next to him, frowned slightly, and then said: "Your Excellency needs to be quiet, don't stay in the private room, go out with me to prepare food." ”
"What ...... prepare" Before Zhong Xiaodi finished speaking, she saw a faint sharp taste in Yin Zhige's eyes, which was not very tough, but the momentum was not weak at all, and she was stunned to swallow her objections.
She felt more and more that Zhong Xiaoshu and Yin Zhige were the same people, otherwise how could it be said that it was not a family that did not enter the door!
The two of them seem to be kind and easy to talk on the surface, but once the cold eyebrows rise and the brows are slightly wrinkled, a solemn sense of oppression will follow, as if they are pressing her down with the aura of heaven all of a sudden, and the posture is even more terrifying than spoofing and joking.
Zhong Xiaodi reluctantly finally gave a delicate salute, "That little woman will retire first, my lord." ”
Then he secretly poked and threw a flattering look, hoping that Lord Li would open his mouth to keep her, but unfortunately Lord Li didn't look at her at all, she was disappointed in her heart, so she reluctantly followed Yin Zhige and retreated.
Out of the box door, Yin Zhige looked coldly at Zhong Xiaodi, who was still looking inside with his neck pulled, and directly handed her the handkerchief in his hand, and said to her: "You go and watch the guests in the hall in front of you for a while, and I will let Xiao Shu prepare Master Li's dishes first." ”
"Oh......" Zhong Xiaodi reluctantly agreed.
When Yin Zhige came to the kitchen, Zhong Xiaoshu was washing his hands and preparing to cut tofu, and when he saw him coming in, he smiled, "You came just in time, I was about to go to the front and ask what happened just now, why was you restless?" ”
It didn't sound like a trouble, it was still a man's voice, and it didn't take long for it to recover, so it definitely couldn't be Zhang Cuiyun, so she was a little relieved and started to stir-fry the food.
"It's Master Li who came, he seems to remember what you cooked, and said that he came to Wuxianglou to eat." Yin Zhige faced Zhong Xiaoshu naturally did not say to Zhong Xiaodi just now, and there was a shallow smile on his face.
He likes to watch her cook, as if the most ordinary action, in her hands is like being stained with layers of fairy methods, beautiful and delicious, with her own unique charm.
Zhong Xiaoshu was taken aback and stopped what he was doing, "Master Li is here!" ”
He didn't expect that this old man was actually a foodie, and he fell in love with her making boiled pork slices and so on, and when he heard the rumors that Wuxianglou was opened by her, he actually came over in person.
This is no less than the posture of a big star visiting a small restaurant, although there is no way to take a photo of the scene of Lord Li eating in their restaurant and hang it on the wall, but there is no way to hide words in a small place, and their restaurant will definitely be more famous now.
The more Zhong Xiaoshu thought about it, the happier he became, and hurriedly asked, "Then he ordered those dishes, and when I finish this tofu, let's make it for him quickly." Fortunately, I'm almost busy in front of me, and that's all I have left, otherwise I would definitely not be too busy. ”
Zhong Xiaoshu was a little excited, and even spoke with some excitement, his eyes flashed, as if he was printed with bright stars.
Yin Zhige saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile.
He took a clean handkerchief, gently wiped the thin sweat on her head, and said softly: "Don't worry, you take your time, be careful to cut your fingers because of panic." I'll serve him some tea and snacks in a moment, which will give you time to finish the dish. ”
"Look at me, just thinking about entertaining Master Li so that he can make a living sign for us, I haven't thought about it yet!" Zhong Xiaoshu stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.
She was really full of the reputation of the restaurant just now, and after Master Li tried it, she was sure how to do it.
This businessman has been doing it for a long time, and he really can't get around these fame, fortune, or profit.
Zhong Xiaoshu reflected on himself a little, and then immediately devoted himself to the cooking career with a smile.
The six or seven dishes ordered by Master Li were not too difficult, but the flower heads were more pleasant, and only one of them was osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root and squirrel mandarin fish, which was a little more troublesome.
Zhong Xiaoshu didn't delay, finished the tofu in three or two times, handed it to Yin Zhige and brought it out, and then began to process the lotus root glutinous rice and the mandarin fish with a knife.
Remove the root of the crispy raw lotus root, fill the soaked glutinous rice by the lotus root hole, until the white and tender rice grains are into the stomach of the lotus root, and then directly steam it in the pot, the fire is ready for a quarter of an hour, take it out and cut it into small pieces two fingers wide, and finally heat the pot to roll the osmanthus nectar and honey water, pour it hot, and put it into the shape of eight treasures auspicious clouds, it is really a good-looking and sweet and delicious dish.
The squirrel mandarin fish is even more pleasant to listen to, and it looks good, but it is actually a very fast dish. Because it is going to boil oil and go through the fish quickly, the fish meat is old after a long time, and finally it is poured in with the sauce of the fragrant red sauce, and the fish tail is upturned and the fish leaps over the dragon gate, which is excellent.
In less than half an hour, Zhong Xiaoshu finished and served the dish with Yin Zhige.
Looking at a table full of dazzling delicacies, Master Li had not yet put down his chopsticks, and when he smelled the taste, he was full of relish, with a smile on his face, very satisfied.
