Chapter 205: Unexpected Cooking

Seeing that his eyebrows were tightly locked, knowing that he didn't understand his words, Li Yu continued: "Maybe Wu Gongzi doesn't know, although our Li family has opened a Liuli Pavilion, it is not the main industry. If Wu Gongzi needs a large amount of glass, jade, etc., he can negotiate with me. ”

"Huh?" Wu Chen was stunned, since Lin Xia knew that Li Yu was not a modern person, he had not carefully investigated Li Yu's identity, because there was no need. Now he told him that Li Yu was not only a young master who opened a Liuli Pavilion Inn, but also a businessman who mastered a large supply of glass and jade? Then why didn't anyone tell him?

Wu Chen suddenly remembered that the business dealings of Yalinju were not under his control......

However, Li Yu was able to solve the problem of Liuli in the villa, and in short, he also had a hope, and hurriedly said: "Can Li Gongzi really help us?" We now have a new construction plan in Yalinju, so we need a large supply of glazed goods! ”

In addition to the villa designed by himself, the new leisurely teahouse has also been selected for the site, the land has been bought, the drawings have been designed and ready to be built, and it is also from his hand, which is designed in accordance with the style of Yuliangcheng in memory. Therefore, a large number of glass supplies are naturally needed.

Li Yu's thin lips hooked lightly, "I can talk to Wu Gongzi, I can still help with this little thing, why don't Wu Gongzi come to my temporary residence tomorrow, first, to talk about the cooperation of Liuli, and second, Wu Gongzi can also taste my craftsmanship." ”

Hearing that Li Yu could help and sign a contract with him, Wu Chen was very happy that the matter of the supply of glass could be solved. However, when he heard him invite himself to taste the dishes he made, there was an indescribable weirdness in his heart, but thinking that if he signed the contract one day earlier, Liuli would be able to send it from Yuliang as soon as possible, so Wu Chen agreed to Li Yu's invitation.

The next morning, Wu Chen came to Li Yu's small house temporarily rented in Beijing as promised, and after the door was opened for him, Wu Chen smelled a strange fragrance, like new grass after the rain in the empty mountains, and like wild flowers that are about to bloom in the forest; What's amazing is that it is also mixed with the aroma of food, which is refreshing and refreshing, and the index finger moves.

Obviously, he had eaten breakfast an hour ago, but Wu Chen now felt that his stomach was hungry again, and he followed the fragrance that came and went to the garden at that time.

The houses are small and a little dilapidated compared to the bustle and splendor of the capital, but the gardens are beautiful, full of green plants and flowers, which are quietly surrounded by blooming flowers. And under the green vine, there is a square table, on which are placed jade basins and copper stoves, and the seductive aroma is emanating from the copper furnace on the table.

"Oh, you're here, it's a coincidence, I just made it." Li Yu was wearing a dark blue robe, holding a plate of side dishes in his hand, his voice was gentle and beautiful, and his attitude was natural and kind, as if he was receiving his friend.

Wu Chen's face turned slightly red, a little embarrassed, and he intuitively felt that he must have lost his demeanor now. How to say that he has eaten countless delicacies since he was a child, and he is not inferior to the emperor in the palace, and it stands to reason that he will not show the appearance that he has not eaten for hundreds of years, but now he is like a little beggar who has been hungry for a few days.

"It's a joke to call Li Gongzi, I was too addicted to business after I got up early, so I didn't eat breakfast, and when I remembered the hour, it was already the time I agreed with Li Gongzi, so I ......" Wu Chen still has the kung fu to talk nonsense with his eyes open, anyway, he doesn't live in Wufu I don't know that he ate a Wuhan hot dry noodles, two fried dough sticks with soy milk and two tea eggs and custard buns this morning.

I don't blame him for eating too much, just that the breakfast is too rich.

"In that case, Wu Gongzi hurry up and sit down and start eating, please." Li Yu made a gesture of please.

In front of the food, Wu Chen didn't have a shelf at all, and sat directly opposite Li Yu, just looking at the jade basin on the table and feeling a little strange, I don't know what to do, and there is a copper stove next to it, on which a deep pottery jar is placed, I don't know what to simmer, it makes the room fragrant; There were also four or five small plates, which filled most of the table.

"What is this?" It was the first time Wu Chen had seen this thing, and he asked inexplicably.

There was a small half basin of crystal clear ice cubes in the jade basin, and there were slender turquoise noodles as thin as a hair, and I couldn't help laughing: "This is the green noodles of our Yalinju?" "Yalinju's green noodles are made by kneading spinach juice into flour to make green dough, and then making green dumplings or green noodles, which are very popular with children and women.

I saw Li Yu shake his head, "No, this is our Yuliang's Huaiyu leaves, the green juice of the Huaiyu leaves into Huaiyu leaves is kneaded into flour and noodles, and what I am going to make for you is our Yuliang's special noodles, Huaiyu cold noodles." You must have never eaten it. ”

Wu Chen nodded as if he didn't understand, Yuliang, who had only been there once since he was a child, had only stayed for a few days, and he hadn't enjoyed the local food at all, and he only remembered the peony banquet vividly, but he didn't expect Yuliang to have other special dishes. I think it's really a blessing today.

After a while, Li Yu stretched out his hand to hang above the clay pot and tested the temperature, and then opened the lid.

All of a sudden, the heat came to my face.

Wu Chen only felt that the taste was extremely delicious, but it was strange, so that he couldn't tell what it was, it was not a chicken, not a cow, not a sheep, it was a fragrance that he had never smelled before, and he couldn't help but get closer and smell it carefully.

"What the hell is this soup?" Wu Chen asked suspiciously, as the second young master of Yalinju, who was the largest restaurant restaurant in the whole Wu Dynasty, he couldn't even smell what was in the soup, he was too much of a failure!

Li Yu didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said with a smile: "Our Yuliang City is in a deep forest place, and there is a pond in it, and there is a fish in the pond, called whitebait, which is not more than an inch long, and it is extremely difficult to catch. We Yuliang like to use flowers, leaves, roots, etc., or fish, but this whitebait is too small and meatless, so no one wants to catch it for food, but they don't know that it is extremely delicious, and it is best to make soup. ”

Wu Chen saw that the soup was as white as milk, and there were extremely fine bamboo shoots and lettuce green silk floating on it, but he didn't see the 'whitebait' that Li Yu said, so he asked strangely.

"This soup has been boiled on slow fire for a long time, and it has long since melted." Li Yu explained with a smile.

As he spoke, he smoothly filled the fish soup in the celadon bowl, the delicate green glaze with the milky white fish soup, the tender yellow bamboo shoots and the emerald green lettuce green silk, the brake is beautiful. Then he used his chopsticks to pick up the frozen Huaiyu leaves in the jade basin, put them in the bowl, and with a flick of his wrist, the noodles spread out in the soup like a swimming fish.

Then he poured some chopped green onions and other ingredients from the small plate and sprinkled them into the bowl and handed them to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen was already stunned, took it and quickly picked up the chopsticks and took a sip, his eyes immediately widened, and he couldn't speak. The shredded bamboo shoots and lettuce were crisp and tender, and the freshness of the whitebait soup was even fresher than the fish soup he had drunk before, but it did not affect the elegant taste of the leaves of Huaiyu, and the ingredients such as chopped green onions sprinkled into the soup also complemented each other well, without disturbing each other's taste.

"Is this really what you did, Gongzi Li?" Wu Chen couldn't believe it, how extraordinary Li Yu's family background was, especially the Liuli Pavilion that was not inferior to the design of the Twin Restaurants, if it weren't for the fact that Li Fu didn't manage the Liuli Pavilion with heart and carry it forward, otherwise Yalinju would have encountered a tough opponent. But I heard him say that he has a large supply of glass in his hand, how can he say that Li Yu is a noble boy, how could he learn this hobby of cooking?

When I heard it yesterday, I thought he could just cook some simple dishes, but I never thought that his level was comparable to that of the chef of his twin restaurants! What does this mean by making some side dishes? Obviously, it's very good at doing a good job!

Like him, although he loves to eat, but let him make a few simple dishes, as his mother's words, the thing he makes is a dark dish, the kind that pigs don't want to eat, this waste of ingredients is small, if you don't pay attention to burning the kitchen, it will be a big deal.

In short, Wu Chen has never cooked, of course he doesn't need to cook, and the maids around him will know how to order their skills, especially Sister Shisu, who brought him to adulthood since childhood, is not inferior to his mother's craftsmanship. So, whenever he wants to eat it, someone will make it.

Li Yu smiled slightly, "Of course I did it, I don't know if Wu Gongzi is used to eating?" I can also make some improvements next time. ”

Wu Chen was immediately convinced, although his previous impression of Li Yu was very average, but he could cook, and this extremely important skill point in his eyes increased his impression points a lot, and it was simply rising.

I couldn't help but praise heartily: "Li Gongzi is really modest, I have eaten all the dishes of Yalinju, I thought that there are not many dishes in the world that can compare to my Yalinju, but when I see it today, I am still lonely." I am still very grateful to Mr. Li for inviting me to eat this meal, and thanks to me for not refusing, otherwise I would have to leave a regret. ”

When Li Yu heard Wu Chen's praise, he was obviously in a much better mood, and the smile on his face increased greatly, "If Gongzi Wu likes it, I will stay in Beijing for a while, if Gongzi Wu doesn't dislike it, you can come to me for dinner." ”

Wu Chen's eyebrows frowned slightly, "This is not very good, right?" Li Gongzi? "It doesn't seem like they have a good relationship, although the cooperation contract will be signed later, and the relationship in the future is just the relationship between the partner and the partner......

Li Yu sighed slightly and said: "This time I went to the capital alone to do business, I was not used to living in a restaurant, so I rented a small courtyard, and I ate alone every day, it is inevitable that I will be a little lonely. ”

Wu Chen nodded lightly, what he said was true, it was indeed more lively for the family to eat around a table, and there were even many types of dishes to eat; If you eat alone, you are a little lonely, because there is no one else to chat with or something, and you can only eat one or two dishes, otherwise you will not finish eating and will be wasted.

"Okay, if I'm not busy, I'll come to the door to disturb Mr. Li."
