Chapter 234: Drunken Chef Wu
As far as Yunzhu is concerned, although the person proposed by An Yuming at this time is important to her, she still has to find out the details of the other party, otherwise, no matter how good it is, this person will not be used.
"I've been in contact with that chef, and he's a pretty good person, but there's a shortcoming, that is, he likes to drink, and sometimes he has to take two bites when he stir-fries, but this doesn't delay him from stir-frying."
It should be said that the chef's drunken stir-fried dishes taste better than usual. That's why people give the nickname Drunken Kitchen. ”
"Because the chef's surname is Wu, called Wu Yu, so people call him Drunken Chef Wu, it is said that the reason why he doesn't do it is because the previous owner of the restaurant did not allow him to drink when cooking."
"Although it is said that the dishes made by the drunken chef Wu after getting drunk taste better, but he usually likes to look for fine wine, and sometimes he may not see anyone for a few days, where can such a chef be treated by the boss?"
"For drunken chef Wu Lai, drinking is an essential part of life, so he would rather choose not to do it, but also choose to drink."
Thinking of the drunken chef Wu, An Yuming shook his head helplessly.
"I like to drink, it's funny." After listening to An Yuming, Yunzhu's heart couldn't help but move.
If that drunken chef Wu only has such a shortcoming, there is no problem with the rest, and he can really consider hiring him, after all, the most important thing he lacks here is fine wine.
Yunzhu is very confident that as soon as her shop opens, anyone who has tasted the wine in her store will definitely come back a second time.
Even if you don't rush to the food, you have to rush to the wine.
In fact, as early as the beginning of the preparation of this third store, Yunzhu pondered about the sake brewing.
In the capital, the price of wine is not low, but the taste is not very good, and ordinary people cannot afford good wine.
Yunzhu is a modern person after all, and she has seen some methods of making wine in her previous life, since she can even make soy sauce and vinegar, why not try to make wine?
The wine has been very successful, but the price of it is undoubtedly not low, and if you want to make something that tastes good and is cheap, you really have to think about it.
Yunzhu has always been a man of action, and when she had an idea, she sent someone to buy a lot of grain and jars, specially prepared a few rooms in Yunfu, and began to experiment with winemaking.
From planning a third store to now, Yunzhu has selected several of the most suitable liquors to sell in the store.
There are five types of liquor, the first is sweet wine, which can be drunk by both men and women, young and old, and it tastes good and is not intoxicating, but you will still feel dizzy if you drink too much.
The price of this wine is moderate, and the average person can afford to drink it.
The second type of wine, which has a higher degree than dessert wine and has a good taste, can only be regarded as an ordinary wine, and this wine is the cheapest, cheaper than dessert wine.
The third type of wine has a higher degree than the previous two, and the taste is naturally better, and the grain used is also better than that of the second wine, so the price is naturally higher than that of both wines.
However, the price of this wine is not unacceptable, at least the average person can afford to drink it.
The fourth kind of wine, relatively speaking, is better, whether it is the smell or the taste, it is incomparable to the previous three wines, which is specially brewed by Yunzhu, in order to provide some high-ranking families with some silver in their hands.
Yun Zhu thought that the wine she brewed was no worse than that in the palace, after all, the last time she entered the palace, she had secretly tasted such a small sip.
Of course, compared with the first three, this price is immediate, and you can immediately see the distance, if you don't have a little foundation in your hand, I'm afraid you are reluctant to buy it.
The last one is naturally the wine made by Yunzhu, because this wine is more troublesome than ordinary wine whether it is brewed or anything else, so the wine has to be bought with gold.
Of course, it doesn't mean that if you have gold, you have to have as much as you want.
If you want to drink wine, you must make an appointment in advance, and the number of catties per person cannot exceed three catties.
The more rare things are, the more precious they are, Yunzhu believes that in this capital, even if her wine is sold like this, there will definitely be people rushing to buy it, after all, things are placed here, and if you want to drink, only she has here.
Although she said that in a few months, there may be a wine like her in Kyoto, but Yunzhu is not worried, after all, the process is different, and the taste will be different, maybe by that time, her own wine has become an exclusive supply of the Imperial Palace.
"Mrs. Shu wants to invite that chef here?" Seeing that Yunzhu had been bowing his head and not saying a word, An Yuming opened his mouth to ask.
"I have this idea, when I go back, let Steward He help me check it out, if there is really no problem, naturally please come to me."
Nodding with a smile, Yunzhu told the truth, after all, he needed a cook in the store now.
"It's okay, it's better for the chef to know the roots, after all, Mrs. Shu's dishes are very special."
After listening to Yunzhu, An Yuming answered, at this time the dishes and ingots were already served, originally An Yuming wanted to keep Yunzhu to eat together, but Yunzhu refused.
I just said a few words before, and it was rumored that it was gone, if we had a meal together, I don't know what the Shu family would do.
Yunzhu wanted to leave, An Yuming naturally wouldn't force him to stay, he stood up and watched Yunzhu walk out of the private room and downstairs.
Yunzhu left, An Yuming re-seated and ate the ingots.
After going downstairs, Yunzhu finished the rest of the accounts and returned to He's house.
It happened that Steward He was not busy, so Yun Zhu handed over the matter of checking the drunken chef Wu Dixian to Steward He, and asked him to send the news back to him as soon as possible.
In response, Steward He also knew how important the cook was at this time, so he quickly found someone to investigate everything about Drunken Chef Wu.
I have to say that what the He family wants to check is still very easy in the capital, and when it was approaching evening, all the news of the drunken chef Wu came back.
This drunken chef Wu is in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and his cooking skills can be regarded as an ancestral inheritance, and he has also worshipped an imperial chef as a teacher before.
Originally, the drunken chef Wu also had a chance to enter the palace, but because he was greedy for a cup, he couldn't enter the palace, after all, there are many rules in the palace, if you drink too much and collide with the nobles, you are afraid of your life.
couldn't enter the palace, the drunken chef Wu found a restaurant in the capital and began to be a cook, because his skills were really good, and he soon became a master.
The salary has risen, and the amount of alcohol in the drunken chef Wu has also risen, just because he can drink, he has not saved any money, so naturally he has no money to marry a daughter-in-law.
Wu, a drunken chef in his thirties, is still single, but he is clean and self-conscious, and he has never been to a place like Hualou.
Some time ago, because the boss didn't allow him to drink, the drunken chef Wu quit his job in a rage, and there was still good wine at home, and the drunken chef Wu simply accompanied the wine every day.
"Young Grandma Sun, this drunken chef Wu's reputation and temperament are quite good, but this drinking is too fierce, if you really come to us, I don't know if it will cause trouble."
Although there is a shortage of cooks at the moment, Butler He feels that he can't recruit this drunken person just because of the shortage, if something happens, how can it be good?
"Don't worry, Steward He, I know in my heart, tomorrow we will go to the drunken chef Wu's house to meet him."
Smiled and spoke, Yun Zhu didn't care about what Steward He said, because she had already made a plan in her heart.
Yunzhu said this, and Steward He didn't say much, knowing what kind of character his grandmother Sun Shao was, and also knowing that she was calm, since she said that it was okay, she must have an idea.
Yun Zhu told Old Man He about inviting the drunken chef Wu, and Old Man He didn't say much about this, but gave it to Yun Zhu and let her do it according to her own ideas if she felt good.
Old Man He was so supportive, Yun Zhu's heart was naturally happy, and after eating, after accompanying Old Man He for a few rounds, they went back to their rooms to rest.
After washing, Yunzhu lay on the bed, the light in the room had been extinguished, Yunzhu reached out and touched the empty bed beside him, and his heart was inevitably a little empty.
In the blink of an eye, Shu Sirui has been gone for more than a month, but until now, there has been no news back.
On weekdays, Shu Sirui is by her side, Yunzhu really doesn't feel anything, but now that Shu Sirui is not there, she really feels that there is something missing around her.
I don't know how he is out there now, when will he come back?
It is said that the southwest is very dangerous, although the eldest brother told the second brother that there is no problem according to his kung fu, but she is still worried.
Now I just hope that he can come back soon, and when the matter of the store is temporarily settled, they can return to the town together to rest and recuperate.
Thinking about it, Yunzhu slowly fell asleep.
Yunzhu didn't know that Shu Sirui was not easy at this time, although he said that he had left the forest, but because of the harsh climate in the southwest and the fact that they had no horses, every step they took was extremely difficult.
The road ahead is rugged and difficult to walk, and there are southwesterners chasing and killing behind them, although the kung fu of the two is good and the physical foundation is also good, but they can't eat, and it still has some impact.
"Alas, General Shu, I hurt you!" After resting for a while and finding some water to drink, the Dark Commander sighed and said to Shu Sirui.
"It's already like this, don't say these words, save some energy, and get ready to continue on the road, it seems that this group of southwesters is ruthless."
After taking a sip and washing his face, Shu Sirui looked around, hoping to find something to eat.
It's been a day, and several times, they've almost been spotted by the Southwesters.
Fortunately, Shu Sirui still understands the southwesterners, so now, the two sides have not fought each other.
Shu Sirui understands that the current situation is not suitable for fighting at all, not to mention that there are many people and few people, just talking about this road is not suitable for fighting.
Shu Sirui said this, and the dark commander nodded, indeed, it is useless to talk more at this time, and finding a way to leave is the main topic.
After resting for a while, there was really nothing to eat, so the two had to continue on the road, hoping to meet something to eat on the way.
The environment in the southwest was too bad, and the two walked for a long time, but they didn't find anything to eat, but several times, they were almost bitten by poisonous insects.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the road was getting more and more difficult to walk, Shu Sirui understood that this road could no longer go on, and it was better to find a place to stay for the night.
After discussing with the Dark Commander, the two of them found a suitable place to rest, and after cleaning the ground briefly, the two went their separate ways to search in the forest.
The first is to look for dry firewood, after all, there are poisonous insects and wild animals in the forest, and if you light a fire, it can also play a warning role.
The second is to find something to eat, if they can find something to eat, let them replenish some physical strength, the next road can be easier.
Fortunately, there is a water source near the forest, Shu Sirui has the attitude of trying it out, and searches in the water, and it is really immortal, and he really got two fish.
Although it is not big, it is much stronger than an empty stomach.
Shu Sirui has a harvest here, and the dark commander also has it here, and he found another kind of fruit, but he didn't dare to eat it for fear of poison.
When he returned with the fruit and the dry wood, the Dark Commander encountered a snake that was not too small, he killed the snake, and returned to the resting place with the fruit, snake meat, and dry wood.
Shu Sirui had already lit the fire, and the fish he caught had been processed, plugged in with a wooden stick, and set up on the fire.
"General Shu, can you eat this fruit and this snake meat?"
When he saw the fish, the dark commander's eyes lit up, but he knew, but he couldn't fill his stomach with such a little thing.
"That fruit can be eaten, it tastes good, and this snake is also non-poisonous, you can deal with it."
Glancing at the Dark Commander, Shu Sirui smiled and nodded, getting his affirmation, the Dark Commander was naturally happy.
After putting the fruit away, the Dark Commander stepped aside, and after handling the snake with a dagger, he found something to skewer it on, and then took it back to the fire and roasted it with Shu Sirui.
While waiting, the two of them drank some water and ate some fruit to satisfy their hunger, after all, they hadn't eaten for a long time, and their stomachs were really empty.
After drinking some water and eating some fruits, the fragrance permeated, Shu Sirui was fine, his expression was quite calm, but he was secretly in charge, and his eyes were eager to glow with blue light.
Finally, the snake meat and fish were grilled, although there was no seasoning, but because the two of them had been hungry for a while, they tasted exceptionally fragrant.
There are still not many things, the two of them have eaten them all, and they are only barely at the bottom, if it is already dark today, it is impossible to find something, and the two of them have to gnaw some fruit and drink more water to fill their stomachs.
"Dark Lord, you can rest first." After glancing around to make sure there were no problems, Shu Sirui looked at the Dark Commander and said in a light tone.
"This is me resting first, I'm embarrassed, or General Shu, you rest first, I'll guard?"
A little embarrassed to speak, after all, Shu Sirui was guarding first these times, and he didn't wake up until dawn, and the dark commander was very embarrassed about this.
"It's okay, you can rest, I'm in the middle of the night." Waving his hand, Shu Sirui opened his mouth and said, and the dark commander gave in again, but Shu Sirui insisted very much.
In desperation, the Dark Commander had to rest first, he had always slept quickly, and although he was now on the run, he still quickly heard the sound of snoring.
Looking at the sleeping face of the dark leader, listening to his high and low snoring, Shu Sirui felt very helpless.
This is also the reason why he let the dark commander take the lead to sleep, he is very worried, if he sleeps first, the dark commander will not be able to bear the sleepiness, and he will also sleep, if there is really any situation at that time, I am afraid that he will not even be prepared.
Although it was almost dawn to wake up the Dark Commander, Shu Sirui felt that he slept more peacefully during that time, after all, the Dark Commander had slept enough at that time, so he could rest assured that he could sleep for a while.
The night was still long, and as dawn approached, Shu Sirui woke up the Dark Commander and took a nap himself.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn, I went to the river to wash my face, caught two more fish, and after simply getting something to eat, the two of them went back on the road.
"General Shu, how long will it take for us to get out of this southwest? I always felt a little panicked. ”
After walking some distance, the Dark Commander asked.
Hearing the Dark Commander say this, Shu Sirui couldn't help frowning, and when he said it, he also felt a sense of unease, as if some danger was about to appear.
Once a general on the battlefield, Shu Sirui had his own feelings, that is, relying on these feelings, he would avoid danger again and again, and the inventory is up to now.
"We have to speed up, as long as we get out of the southwest territory, they can't do anything about us."
According to Shu Sirui's estimate, it will take at least a day and a half before they can get out of the southwest, but there is no way, this road must be taken, as long as it stops, it means that they may be caught.
Shu Sirui said this, and the dark commander answered, and continued to speed up his pace with him.
…………
It was dawn in the southwest, and it was also dawn in the capital, and after breakfast, Yunzhu took Steward He back to Yun's house, and after bringing three jars of wine, he went to the house of the drunken chef Wu.
Drunken Chef Wu's home location is not bad, when she was on the street, Yunzhu also deliberately got some snacks, not only that, but she also got some staple food from Piaoxiangju, so that there is wine, food and food, but it is also complete.
When he arrived at the door, Yun Zhu looked at the door of the drunken chef Wu's house and motioned for his subordinates to knock on the door.
The subordinate responded, stepped forward and knocked for a while, but no one answered, Yun Zhu couldn't help frowning, pondering the possibility that the drunken chef Wu was not at home.
After thinking about it, Yun Zhu felt that the drunken chef Wu was still at home, but he might not be up yet, or he was drinking, so he didn't bother to open the door.
At this point, Yun Zhu really guessed correctly, the drunken chef Wu at this time was really at home.
Since he stopped working in the restaurant, the drunken chef Wu locked himself at home, cooked some food for himself every day, and then drank some wine, not to mention how comfortable he was in those days.
Yesterday, I drank a few more glasses, so that at this hour, the drunken chef Wu had not yet gotten up, and when he heard a knock on the door, the drunken chef Wu staggered up and walked towards the door.
Because he was drunk yesterday, the footsteps of the drunken chef Wu were vain, but when he walked from the side of the bed to the door, he almost fell a few times.
"Knock again." Since it is inferred that the drunken chef Wu is at home, Yunzhu will naturally not leave at will, she has already thought about it, and she must find a way to knock out the drunken chef Wu......
