Following.

Wei Yi arrived as promised and came to the door of Lingyun's private kitchen.

This time, the greeter did not stop Wei Yi again, but welcomed him very warmly.

Obviously, after the last oolong incident, Lu Yuanling deliberately explained it so that all the staff could remember Wei Yi's face.

This is also a manifestation of the importance attached to Wei Yi.

It was still the private box last time, Lu Yuanling was already sitting in the position waiting, and when he saw Wei Yi coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Wei Yi, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're getting more and more energetic."

"Haha, Brother Lu laughed again."

The two hugged each other and sat down separately.

As soon as he sat down, Lu Yuanling signaled to the housekeeper that he could serve the food.

The butler withdrew as he was told.

"What have you been up to lately? Or do you want to visit the store? Lu Yuanling poured a glass of water for Wei Yi and asked with concern.

"Yes, what else can I be busy with, unlike Brother Lu, who has handled hundreds of millions of projects." Wei Yi smiled and nodded.

This sentence Wei Yike is not exaggerated at all, it was inadvertently revealed by Du Yue'er.

"The turnover is just high, and now in the special period, business is not as good as before." Lu Yuanling's face was calm and noncommittal.

During the special period, all walks of life have a certain impact, except for companies related to the medical industry.

The improvement of Chinese people's movie-watching taste, the relatively high demand for film quality, coupled with the impact of special periods, have caused the annual income of Lu Yuanling's film and television investment company to drop a lot.

But fortunately, the background is still there, and the impact is not big.

Wei Yi doesn't know much about film and television, so he just nodded when he heard this, and didn't make a vain evaluation.

The two chatted casually, telling each other about the people or things they had experienced during this time, and when it came to something interesting, Lu Yuanling would pat Wei Yi on the shoulder and laugh insolently.

There is no shelf for the CEO of a billion-dollar market capitalization company.

This is also in front of Wei Yi, where can ordinary people have the opportunity to see Lu Yuanling's side so peaceful.

Wei Yi's shoulders were numb......

Fortunately, the first course came up and saved Wei Yi's shoulder.

The first dish is called Kung Pao Lychee Shrimp Balls, and it is a good season to eat lychees, and it is understandable that Lingyun's private chef will try to launch a new dish based on lychees.

Fruit is a major feature of Cantonese cuisine.

With seasonal fruits, the stew is made of appetizing fruit delicacies, which not only retains the sweet, sour and refreshing characteristics of fruits, but also has the delicious and tender flavor of seafood, and the dishes are clear but not light, fresh but not vulgar, and have the effect of arousing people's appetite and satisfying the eyes.

In addition, the taste of cooking with fruits is even more refreshing than that of ordinary dishes, which is very suitable for modern people's dietary requirements.

Wei Yi picked up a piece of crystal white and tender lychee, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, the fried lychee not only maintained the original fresh and sweet taste of the lychee, but also did not get hot so easily.

As the saying goes, "one lychee has three fires", which shows that although lychees are delicious, they are quite easy to catch fire.

In particular, people with insufficient yin deficiency and a strong physique are even more unsuitable for consumption.

Wei Yi swallowed the lychee meat, picked up a piece of shrimp meat and put it in his mouth to taste, this chew, Wei Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The shrimp meat completely absorbs the flavor of lychee, which is sweet and delicious, crispy and tender, and will burst the juice!

It's so cool that it's addictive!

When sweetness meets umami, when softness meets crispness, shrimp meat and lychee meat, two things that seem to be incompatible, produce novel chemical changes, which are endlessly evocative.

It was not the first time that Lu Yuanling had tried a dish with Wei Yi, so he could still know how satisfied Wei Yi was with this dish from Wei Yi's subtle change in expression.

Obviously, this dish is very much to his taste.

This Kung Pao lychee shrimp ball is made from the rare variety of lychees.

According to relevant documents, this kind of lychee has a history of more than 400 years and has been a tribute to the imperial court in the past.

In 2001, at the auction of hanging green fruits held in Hanging Green Square, a "West Garden Hanging Green" lychee was auctioned at a high price of 55,000 yuan, becoming the most expensive fruit in the world, breaking the world Gilles record in one fell swoop.

In the 2002 auction, 10 "West Garden Hanging Green" lychees in Zengcheng City were auctioned by 10 buyers after 25 extremely fierce bidding by 25 buyers.

Among them, the No. 1 "West Garden Hanging Green" weighing only 18.8 grams was sold at a sky-high price of 555,000 yuan, which not only refreshed the Guinness World Record of "55,000 yuan for a lychee" set last year, but also became the biggest highlight of the day when the value of "Hanging Green" soared tenfold in one year, attracting the attention of the world.

Of course, the lychee auctioned was a lychee with a mother green tree, and the reason why it was able to auction at such an expensive price was because it was a single seedling at that time.

Now it has successfully cultivated several generations of hanging green descendant tree species, a total of more than 100 trees, planted in several townships of Zengcheng.

Even if the production has been increased, the current green lychee is still sold at a high price of about 300 yuan a catty, which belongs to the absolute king of lychee.

300 yuan a pound of lychee is used for cooking, which is not a luxury.

In order to match the status and price of hanging green, the selection of shrimp, Lingyun's private kitchen procurement department has also made a lot of painstaking efforts.

Bohai Bay prawn, also known as Chinese prawn.

Penaeus sinensis, belonging to the crustacean class, shrimp family, is an annual shrimp species, only a few individuals have a life cycle of up to 2 years, the body is long and flattened, the carapace is thin, smooth and transparent.

Adult shrimp males are yellow with a body length of 13-17 cm, and females are blue-blue with a body length of 14-18 cm, and the staple diet is polychaetes, flap gills, mesoshells and small mosquito tails.

Every year, when the sea temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, shrimp begin to swim over the winter, from Laizhou Bay through the Bohai Strait to the deep waters of the southern Yellow Sea.

In March of the following year, it returned to the Bohai Sea at "39°N" pure wild Chinese shrimp and bred offspring along the coast.

Shrimp has the characteristics of a large body fat, crystal color, delicious taste, rich nutrition, etc., it is the top of shrimp, the economic value is very high, it is one of the "eight treasures" of seafood, and enjoys a good reputation in the international market for a long time.

Lingyun's private chef carefully selected the best quality batch of pure wild Chinese prawns, and the price was as high as 280 yuan a catty, which was staggering.

Wei Yi can naturally eat the source of the ingredients used in this dish, as well as the cooking method.

While sighing at the deliciousness of the world, I had an idea in my heart, can we also serve this dish in our Xiangyue Restaurant.

Wei Yi believes that the strong chef team of Xiangyue Hotel should not be difficult to reproduce this dish.

The main thing is that Wei Yi himself likes this dish quite a lot, and he has an urge to keep it for himself.

However, wouldn't this be a little sorry for Lu Yuanling.

After all, there is still a certain amount of competition between the same five-star restaurants.

Forget it, this dish is so delicious and almost impeccable, Lingyun's private chef will inevitably be new.

When the time comes, I'll come here to eat.

No matter what, Wei Yi couldn't do anything to betray his friends.
