Chapter 8: Yan Jiecheng is drunk
At noon the next day, Yan Jiecheng sent the written list of ingredients to Chen Xueru's silk shop.
It happened that Chen Xueru was also in the store at this time, and took the list handed over by Yan Jiecheng and looked at it.
"Yan Jiecheng, you should help me buy these ingredients, how much money will be used when the time comes, you can tell me, I don't know if it's good or bad to buy it myself, and I don't feel at ease if I hand it over to the people below." Chen Xueru looked at the names of the ingredients on the list and said.
She knows most of the dishes and has eaten them, but she doesn't understand the ingredients, especially there are a lot of condiments in it that she has never heard of.
"This ...... It's okay, but some of the spices in here are very expensive, so don't say I'm embezzling your money then." Yan Jiecheng thought about it for a while, and he could get vaccinated in advance, but he was afraid that he wouldn't understand it when the time came, after all, there was money involved, and it was hard to say.
"Hey, it's just a few bucks, I haven't paid attention to it yet, you just need to cook the food for me, you can't lose face when I don't want to." Chen Xueru waved her hand and said indifferently, with such a big industry in their family, this money has not been taken to heart.
"Okay, then that's it, you're busy, I'll leave if there's nothing to do." said that Yan Xie was going out.
"Wait, why are you in a hurry, stay a while, what's the matter, you're afraid that my sister will eat you?" Saying that, Chen Xueru also threw a wink at Yan Jiecheng.
"No, the store is still busy, and you don't know that I am the only chef in our store, if I don't go back, I will have to close tonight, and my small business can't compare with you." For Chen Xueru and Yan Jiecheng, it can be said that she is far away, this girl is not easy to mess with, Yan Jiecheng doesn't want to provoke her.
"I'm going to ask you something, you're really going to have a public-private partnership." Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was still leaving, Chen Xueru grabbed Yan Jiecheng's arm and asked.
"Yes, Director Wang told me when I opened the store, otherwise my small restaurant would be so easy to open, and I would still use the house of the neighborhood committee." Yan Xie Cheng saw that he couldn't get away for a while, so he had to tell Chen Xueru truthfully.
"I see, that's fine, let's go." After listening to Yan Jiecheng's words, Chen Xueru let go of her hand.
She said that Yan Jiecheng's consciousness was so high, it turned out that there was such a thing in it.
After returning from where Chen Xueru was, Yan Jiecheng thought about it, and he didn't need to go out to buy the ingredients for the banquet, just take them in the space, anyway, there are still many ingredients in the space, and they can't be used up for a while.
………
Two days passed, and the time came on Saturday.
Early in the morning, Yan Xie Chengcheng rode a bicycle and rushed to Chen Xueru's house, the reason why he took the film master was to let the film master go to give him a hand, after all, it was also a banquet with two large tables, so he couldn't do it alone.
On the back seat of the bicycle are two large bags, which contain the ingredients for today's banquet, in addition to chicken, duck and fish, a few catties of prawns and various condiments.
Anyway, Chen Xueru is not short of money, and Yan Jiecheng doesn't need to save her, she has prepared hundreds of catties of meat alone, not to mention more than 20 people, even if there are more than 20 people, it is completely enough.
Today, Chen Xueru celebrates her birthday, and all the people who come here are people with heads and faces nearby, and the last time they are small bosses like Xu Huizhen and Yan Jiecheng.
Yan Jiecheng was not familiar with them, and when he came to Chen Xueru's house, he didn't talk to anyone much, but went directly to the back kitchen and started to get busy. ….
"I said Xie Cheng, you are also a boss now, why don't you talk to them? More contact." When the film saw that Yan Jiecheng was coming, he didn't say anything and started to work, so he persuaded him loudly.
"Talk less and work more, what kind of boss am I, you see which boss wants me like this, I'll just do my job, and you guys will treat me as a boss." Yan Jiecheng said while packing up the ingredients with the filmmaker.
It's not that people in the same circle don't have a common language, besides, in what era now, the poorer the more glorious, why should they lean on their group of capitalists for three generations of poor peasants.
"If you don't say that people like you are happy, don't forget your roots, unlike some people, who have a little money in their pockets, and start to look at people with five or six people without looking at people seriously." The film master said in small words.
"Alright, let's get to work, finish it early and rest early." Yan Jiecheng hurriedly interrupted Pian Ye's words, and told him this
It's nothing, but after all, this is in Chen Xueru's house, and there are more than 20 big and small bosses sitting outside, so others can hear this, but they will not be easily intercepted.
At this time, Chen Xueru walked in with dignified legs: "Yan Jiecheng, it's still early, don't be in such a hurry, you can also go outside for a meeting, we are all businessmen, let's talk."
"Hey, Boss Xueru is dressed really beautifully today."
"Master Pian, I'll pick on what you say, what do you mean to be beautiful today, and I'm not beautiful that day?"
"Hey, look at my mouth, I can't speak, I mean you're the most beautiful you wear today, of course, you're beautiful at other times, but you can't compare to today."
Hearing this, Chen Xueru let go of the filmmaker, and then turned her head to look at Yan Jiecheng, who was chopping vegetables on the side: "What's the matter, go out and sit down?"
"I'd better forget it, I'm not familiar with them, I don't have anything to say, it's embarrassing to stay together, let's play, I'll clean up for you here, don't worry about me." Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and said without raising his head.
"That's it, you have to come over when it's time to eat, and I'll give you a few more glasses when the time comes." Since Yan Jiecheng was unwilling, Chen Xueru was not reluctant, so he said a few kind words and walked out.
"Why Xueru, Boss Yan doesn't come out?" Xu Huizhen saw Chen Xueru walking out of the kitchen alone, so she asked.
"Well, what about cooking, let's talk, and it's not too late to introduce you to you when we eat."
………
Yan Jiecheng looked at his watch, and at eleven fifty-five, he felt that it was almost over, so he informed Chen Xueru to let everyone sit down at the table and serve the food.
"Yan Jiecheng, you just let the people below serve the food, don't do it, hurry up and serve it, and I'll introduce you later."
Hearing Chen Xueru's words, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to pull a stool and sit down at the main table, and handed over the work of serving the food to the people of the Pian Ye and Chen Xueru's family.
When the dishes were served, Chen Xueru got up with a wine glass and said, "Today, my Chen Xueru celebrates my birthday, everyone can come to give me face, I will toast everyone here, wait for everyone to eat and drink well, don't be restrained."
After speaking, Chen Xueru took the wine glass and drank it all, then turned her head to look at Yan Jiecheng on the side and said, "Come, let me introduce you to another little brother, this is Yan Jiecheng, who runs a restaurant, today's two tables of dishes are made by him personally, which can give me enough face, everyone knows each other." ….
"Ao, Boss Yan personally cooks the dishes, I have to taste this." The shoe shop owner on the side said as he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, then glared and said, "Well, Boss Yan's skills are good, it seems that I will patronize more in the future, but I don't know where your restaurant opened."
"Hey, what boss is not the boss, you call me Yan Xie Chengxing, my restaurant is next to the tavern, I am very honored if you are willing to go." Yan Jiecheng just put down the wine glass and heard the words of the shoe store owner and hurriedly said.
"Oh, that's right, I usually go to the tavern for a sips or two, which is the way to go."
"Boss Yan, what you are cooking here is authentic Sichuan cuisine, it's rare to see authentic Sichuan cuisine in the capital." The people on the side asked Yan Jiecheng after tasting the food, and raised their wine glasses to salute Yan Jiecheng.
"Hey, the ancestral one, I learned this, I can't do anything else, I just eat it all as a mouthful." Yan Jiecheng said politely.
"Your skill is not just a mixed meal, I have never eaten such delicious Sichuan food in my life, I think your skill is qualified for a state banquet."
"Hey, it's really fake, Lao Wu, it's really as delicious as you say, it's impossible, so young, even if the cooking is delicious, it can be compared to other people's cooking for decades."
"That's it, I think Lao Wu is rare and weird, you have eaten the state banquet, you are qualified, and it is up to you to decide whether you are qualified or not."
Everyone saw that Lao Wu had such a high evaluation, and they all didn't believe it, especially a few of them opened a restaurant at home, and they were even more sneering at Mr. Wu's words.
thinks that Lao Wu said this just to elevate Yan Jiecheng, and it is not good that the two of them still know each other in private, maybe the two of them will put this act on hold.
Although everyone didn't believe it, they were all attracted to it
, so they all picked up chopsticks and prepared to taste it, and taste what the level of this legendary state banquet is.
"Well, it's delicious, although I haven't eaten a state banquet, I think Boss Yan's skill should be qualified, it's the best dish I've ever tasted."
"Yes, yes, Boss Yan, it's a pity to open a small restaurant for your craft. But also, now that the public-private partnership is a joint venture, I don't know what to do in the future, if I can't call the shots, what's the use of opening a big store."
"Okay Lao Yu, today is my birthday, don't discuss politics, just eat and drink, come, everyone salute Boss Yan for a cup, thank him for making such a delicious dish." Hearing everyone's discussions, Chen Xueru, as the host, hurriedly stopped, for fear of being heard, after all, the wall has ears.
Another glass of wine in his stomach, Yan Jiecheng felt that his stomach was like a fire, mainly because he drank too fast, he meditated here, and drank several glasses of wine without eating, and he used a large glass, one cup was more than one or two wines.
It was estimated that he would fall after a few more cups, so when Chen Xueru wanted to respect himself again, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly shouted to stop.
"I said Yan Jiecheng, you can't help but give face, I'm a birthday star today, the birthday star toasts, you can't help but drink." Chen Xueru said dissatisfiedly when she saw Yan Jiecheng holding the wine glass.
I said, eldest sister, it's not that I don't give face, you are too diligent in toasting, you have to let me rest, drink slowly, let me eat a few bites of food first." Yan Jiecheng said a little speechlessly. ….
He suspected that Chen Xueru deliberately poured himself into drinking, and said that he didn't provoke her, and he kindly came to make a banquet for her, although it was to make money.
"This can't be done, even if you want to rest, you have to finish this glass of wine, I have this bottle up, I can't just put it down." Chen Xueru said vigorously with the wine bottle.
It seemed that what he said was quite reasonable, so Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to let go of the wine glass and let Chen Xueru fill it for himself.
"Say yes, after drinking this wine, you can't pour me any more."
"Don't worry, I'll let you go after drinking this wine."
Seeing that Chen Xueru agreed, Yan Jiecheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then put down the wine glass and quickly took a few mouthfuls of food and put it in his mouth.
But before she could eat a few bites, Xu Huizhen came over with a wine glass again, saying that the two families were neighbors, so they had to drink.
Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but drink another glass, at this time Yan Jiecheng's head was already a little dizzy, and he felt that he couldn't drink anymore, so he put the wine glass on the table.
"What are you doing, where is this, Yan Jiecheng, you can't do this."
"I said, eldest sister, I really can't drink anymore, and if I drink any more, I won't be able to open the door for business in the afternoon." Hearing Chen Xueru's words, Yan Jiecheng said speechlessly.
"If you don't do it, you won't do it, anyway, it's just a day, it's a big deal to rest for a day, what else can you do, I'll make up for you how much money you lose at that time."
"I'm drinking and going under the seat, in front of so many people, you can save me some noodles."
"What's the matter, I'll arrange a room for you if you drink too much, you can just sleep, and when you leave, let the film master carry it back for you, anyway, today I am the birthday star, everyone has to listen to me, and you are no exception." Chen Xueru said decisively.
As he spoke, he pulled away Yan Jiecheng's hand blocking the wine glass, picked up the wine bottle and poured it for him, it seemed that he had to put it down for him today.
Yan Jiecheng had no choice, who let him get on the thief ship, so he had to drink it cup by cup.
After a while, Yan Xie Cheng fell, and he was dragged to a room in a daze and placed on the bed.
And in the living room, everyone was almost drunk, and then they ended one after another, and finally there was only one person left, he was still waiting for Yan Jiecheng, but he didn't see Yan Jiecheng come out when he waited left and right.
So I had no choice but to go into the living room and ask Chen Xueru who was sitting on the sofa, "I said Boss Xueru, Yan Jiecheng, why didn't you see him come out."
"Oh, he's drunk too much and he's sleeping in the guest room, why don't you go first, and when he wakes up, he'll go home." Although Chen Xueru didn't drink less, every time she poured wine for herself, she poured the bottom of a cup, and she didn't drink a lot
It's more than half, so I wasn't drunk until the end, and although my head was a little dizzy, I could still speak neatly.
"This can't be done, the restaurant is still waiting for him to go back to stir-fry, what can I do?" Hearing Chen Xueru's words, Pian Ye asked anxiously.
"What's this, wouldn't it be enough to close down for a day. Alright, you can go quickly, and you need to get some sleep and rest later." Chen Xueru rubbed her temples and said impatiently.
"This ...... Okay, then I'll go back, and you can tell him when Yan Xie wakes up." There is no good way to do it, so he can only say helplessly.
"Okay, I know, you can leave quickly, don't worry, what else can happen to Yan Jiecheng with me." Chen Xueru waved her hand at the film master and said impatiently.
