Chapter 206: Jiang's Food Has Another "Captive"
Director Liu got off work on time today.
Normally, a person like him who is busy with work and socializing can return home at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, which is already very good.
But today is a little different, the unfinished work can be left for tomorrow to continue to do, and the entertainment is even more clean.
This is a bit surprising.
Director Liu took the initiative to explain, and he said with a smile:
"Today is my 30th wedding anniversary, and I told my family that I want to eat together, and I can't go home if I don't go home!"
The others were suddenly surprised, and at the same time a little emotional:
Liu Ju is really a good man who cares about his family and loves his wife, he is usually so busy with work, he still remembers such a trivial matter.
As soon as the point of work arrived, Director Liu left with Bao Shiran, and he also made a special trip to buy a bouquet of flowers at a flower shop near his home, and then went up to the building where he lived.
When he opened the door, his wife saw that he was still holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and couldn't help laughing:
"You've never bought flowers before, so you must have something fun today, right?"
"The old woman still understands me!"
Director Liu casually inserted the flowers into the vase on the side, and said with a smile,
"Hurry up and change your clothes, we won't eat at home tonight, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
"What's there to eat out there? It's all something that doesn't dry up, how can there be healthy and delicious home-cooked food? ”
His wife was still muttering, but Director Liu didn't bother to listen at all, he waved his hand and urged:
"If you want to go, you will go, where do you get so many words? Others can't go if they want to! I promise, if you eat it this time, you will never forget it! ”
"Shhhh I don't brag and don't make drafts, I haven't eaten anything delicious? ”
The wife pursed her lips, although she obviously didn't believe it, but she still listened to Director Liu's words, turned around and went into the house to change clothes.
A few minutes later, Director Liu took his wife downstairs, he didn't drive, he stopped a taxi on the side of the road when he got out of the gate of the community, and the two of them got in the car and rushed in the direction of the university town.
Although my wife hadn't spoken before, she was still very puzzled, and after the car drove forward for a while, she still couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, turned her head and asked in a low voice:
"Lao Liu, didn't you say you wanted to take me to eat something delicious? Why did you suddenly take me to Jiangda again? ”
When he first got in the car, when the taxi driver asked Director Liu where he was going, Lao Liu said that he was going to Jiangda, and his wife naturally heard it.
"You're all old, and you're still so curious, just as you were when you were young."
Director Liu stretched out his big hand and gently patted the back of his wife's hand, and said with a mysterious smile,
"I'm not going to tell you today, and when you get to the place in a while, you'll know everything."
"Really...... The older you get, the less serious you are! ”
The wife raised her hand and slapped him lightly in disgust, but her heart was still sweet.
Director Liu is the same at work and at home, no matter what, the relationship between the two is still very good.
At this time, in fact, it was the rush hour of commuting, and the road was still very congested with cars, and it usually only took half an hour to get there, and the taxi should have taken more than an hour to arrive at the gate of Jiangda.
Director Liu paid the fare, and after getting out of the car with his wife, he couldn't help but start urging:
"Old woman, let's hurry up, go faster! It's a little later, I'm worried that the delicious food will be snatched up! ”
“……”
My wife was speechless, usually Director Liu is not a greedy person, even if he makes his favorite braised pork, he only eats one or two pieces every time to satisfy his cravings, and he will not always want to eat enough at a time like others.
What the hell happened this time?
Could it be that here in Jiangda, there is really a chef who is very good at cooking?
How is this possible, if you are a capable chef, how can you hide in a university?
I've already gone to big restaurants and restaurants to make a lot of money, right?
Shaking her head, she also felt a little ridiculous at her own thoughts.
To tell the truth, if Lao Liu hadn't insisted on coming here, she wouldn't have come along!
At this time, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already dark, and the street lamps on both sides of the street on the campus of Jiang University were bright, and the buildings scattered throughout the campus were lit with stars.
Students are in small and two, or leisurely chatting and strolling along the road; or by the light, still sweating on the basketball court; Or hurriedly go to the library with books and books, resolutely not at the age when you should be working hard, choose to be comfortable......
Director Liu didn't have the heart to sigh about this quiet and peaceful campus life, he thought his wife was walking too slowly, so he simply stretched out his hand to pull her, and hurried to the direction of the seventh canteen.
My wife has always been unhurried in doing things, even if she encounters something urgent, she will not be as flustered as she is now, so she is very unaccustomed to walking all the way, and she can't help but complain:
"Lao Liu, you seem to be a little abnormal these days!"
It's a bit of an anomaly, indeed.
Originally, Lao Liu was still very willing to eat at home, and he also liked to eat dishes such as braised pork, cola chicken wings and hot and sour fish fillet soup made by her.
Every time she cooks a few dishes, Lao Liu can always eat half a bowl of rice smaller than usual, and after eating, he will praise her fiercely.
At such times, my wife's heart is always sweet.
If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach - this wise saying, she not only memorized it firmly, but also implemented it thoroughly.
However, in recent times, Lao Liu occasionally eats at home once or twice, and every time he is lacking in interest, he says that he is full after a few bites.
My wife thought that he had a bad appetite, and she changed her tricks to cook him his favorite dishes such as braised pork, but Lao Liu was still the same, and it had almost no effect.
Even once, my wife was surprised to find that Lao Liu hesitated for a long time before he stretched out a piece of braised pork, but when he put the braised pork in his mouth and just took a bite, his brows wrinkled tightly.
Although Lao Liu covered it up well and soothed his brows in just the blink of an eye, his wife still saw it.
After this time, my wife was sad for a while.
Lao Liu doesn't have a bad appetite, but he doesn't like to eat the dishes she cooks.
I thought that I had firmly grasped Lao Liu's stomach, but now it seems that I have grabbed it, and Lao Liu's stomach has been "robbed" by others!
At that moment, my wife's heart was full of a sense of crisis and anger:
Someone is going to rob my old man!
After being nervous for a while, my wife hadn't found any clues, and Lao Liu inexplicably said that he wanted to take himself to eat delicious food.
Although she was a little reluctant on the surface, in fact, her wife was relieved and a little lost at the same time.
Since Lao Liu is willing to take himself to eat delicious food, this shows that his stomach was indeed caught by others, but it is not as he imagined, someone wants to rob his old man.
Otherwise, how could Lao Liu take him with him?
While she was thinking about this in her heart, Director Liu turned his head and glanced at her, and said with a smile:
"How am I abnormal, you, the older you get, the more you like to think nonsense, be careful to use your brain too much to age quickly!"
The wife pursed her lips and whispered: "People who are more than fifty and running six, this is not old?" ”
The two of them walked all the way, and it didn't take long to arrive at the door of the seventh canteen.
At this moment, the Seven Canteens have been open for some time, but the hall is still crowded and lively, and the rows of seats in the cafeteria are crowded with students eating, all of them with happy faces, chatting with their companions while gulping down rice in their mouths.
My wife raised her eyes and saw that Rao was what she had always been sure about, and she couldn't help crying and laughing at the moment, she raised her hand and pointed to the brightly lit and noisy canteen, with a mocking smile on her face:
"Lao Liu, you said that you brought me to eat delicious food, and what I will never forget is this university cafeteria?"
This road was acute, which originally made my wife feel a little uncomfortable, but at this moment, if there were not too many people here, she would definitely not be able to help laughing.
This old Liu, the older he gets, the more he looks like a child, it's funny!
What can be delicious in the university cafeteria, even if she has never gone to college, she has also been to the university where her son and daughter studied, and the food in the cafeteria is not uneaten.
However, Lao Liu is really right to say something, eating the food here will definitely make people unforgettable.
But it's not because the food is delicious, quite the opposite, but because it's so bad!
The food in these canteens can be salty to death, and the tangy food can make people eat birds in their mouths, either they are greasy and disgusting, or they are like pig food without any oil......
It's hard to swallow!
"yes, this is it."
Director Liu didn't seem to feel his wife's ridicule at all, nodded happily and said,
"Let's go in quickly, I've been looking forward to this bite these days, and if I wait, I'm afraid my saliva will come out!"
“……”
As soon as I heard this, my wife was speechless for a while, and she didn't know what to say.
This Lao Liu is really going back more and more, and he is still drooling......
If outsiders hear this, they may have to say that their wife abused Lao Liu, and they didn't even let him eat.
Shaking her head, she didn't bother to argue with Lao Liu about anything, she just followed him all the way into the seventh canteen, and looked coldly at the lively scene inside.
To be honest, she was quite surprised.
In the past, when I went to my son's or daughter's college cafeteria, even when it was time to eat, the people eating in the cafeteria would not have a bright smile on their faces as they see now.
Who can laugh at a meal that's hard to swallow in their mouth?
But now that I see the smiling faces, I can clearly see that the kind of happy smile is joy from the heart.
This kind of sincere smile, as if it can infect other people, makes everyone who walks into the cafeteria happy physically and mentally, and unconsciously shows a smile, even if there is something unhappy, it disappears in an instant at this moment.
But why is this so?
Is the food in this cafeteria really delicious, or is it that every student at Jiang University is naturally optimistic?
Director Liu's wife really couldn't figure it out.
With doubts in her head, she followed closely behind Director Liu, walked through the crowded hall of the Seventh Canteen, and went straight to the second floor.
Vice President He had already gotten the news and was waiting at the reception desk, and when he saw that Director Liu and his family had arrived, he hurriedly greeted him and greeted him with a smile:
"Lao Liu, you're late today, if you don't come again, everyone can't wait!"
"Hey, you don't know, when I came over, it was rush hour, and the traffic jam on the road was like an old man who had been constipated for decades, and he didn't move for half a day, what could I do?"
Director Liu shook his head helplessly, then turned around and pulled his wife over, and said to her with a smile,
"This is President He of Jiang University, I have known each other for a long time, this time, I have to thank him, otherwise we wouldn't have a chance to come here to eat delicious."
Director Liu's wife nodded at Vice President He with a surging smile on her face: "Hello President He!" ”
"Vice, vice, vice-principal!"
Vice President He hurriedly waved his hand to emphasize, and he said with a smile on his face,
"You two are really in love, you have to prepare carefully for your wedding anniversary, how can you be like us rough people, what anniversaries are not anniversaries, just pass through the Xili Lake, haha!"
After a few people said a few words, Director Liu became a little impatient, he waved his hand and said:
"Okay, okay, didn't you say everyone was in a hurry? Then let's stop chatting, let's go in quickly, I have to take a good look at what Principal He ordered! ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Vice Principal He to respond, and walked forward with his feet raised.
"Do you know which box you're in? Just rush forward! ”
When Vice President He saw it, he also hurriedly followed, and reminded him as he walked, "The innermost box on the left-hand side, the 'winter' box!" ”
Looking at Director Liu, who was rushing forward in a hurry, his wife was also helpless, shook her head slightly, sighed, and slowly raised her feet and walked forward.
】
That's a man!
Even when he is old, he is still that stinky and virtuous, and when he encounters something he likes, he dares to leave his wife behind.
You see, isn't that what it is now?
After entering the box, she found that there was not only the vice principal of He, but also several strangers, and after a group of people chatted for a few words, the waiter began to serve the food.
A series of delicately and beautifully arranged dishes were served, and in a short time, the large round table was full of dishes.
The spacious box was filled with a refreshing and tempting aroma, which made everyone's already hungry stomachs even hungrier, and even the stomachs of individual people could be heard "cooing".
"The dishes are all ready, and we are all hungry, so let's not talk nonsense. Come on, let's dry this glass of wine first, and let's let go of it and eat! ”
Seeing that everyone in the box was stunned and stared at the fragrant dishes on the table, and some even unconsciously stuck out their tongues and licked their lips, Vice President He couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly stood up, picked up the wine glass in front of him, gestured to everyone, and said with a smile,
"Cheers! I wish everyone here that we have gone through a thousand sails and are still teenagers when we return! ”
"Good! Cheers! ”
"Cheers!"
“……”
Everyone came back to their senses in an instant, and they all stood up one by one, raised their glasses and touched them with the people around them, and then drank them in one gulp.
"You're welcome, everyone, just eat as you like!"
Vice President He said this, as if he was a treat today, he raised his fast son and said with a smile,
"If the dishes are not enough, let's just add more, in short, we must eat well today!"
After saying this, he didn't wait for the others to react, and the fast man in his hand quickly stretched out to the plate in front of him, picked up a piece of oily braised pork, and stuffed it into his mouth at once.
Director Liu's wife was stunned all of a sudden, this, this is eating......
Is this really the vice-chancellor of a university?!
What she didn't expect was that this was actually not an exaggeration, what was even more exaggerated was a tall middle-aged man sitting a little bald opposite!
This bald middle-aged man didn't need to be fast at all, he directly took a small spoon, scooped away a small half of the plate of mapo tofu in front of him a few times, and then brought it to his mouth, and took the spoon and "bang" a few times, and the small bowl of mapo tofu all went into his stomach!
This scene made her look stupid!
Why are you hungry for three or four days, just waiting for this meal?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a fierce appearance!
No way!
However, she turned her head and swept around the people in the box, and found that all of them looked as if they had never eaten, and since Vice Principal He said "Cheers", no one squeaked, and they all sat in their places, holding fast shots and stuffing them into their mouths.
It looks like if you take one less bite and you're guilty!
It's horrible!
Just when her face was full of shock and her mind was in chaos, Director Liu, who was sitting next to her, reached out and pulled her arm, frowned and whispered:
"What's the fuss? Hurry up and eat! This is all food that can't be eaten outside with money, and next time I want to eat it again, I don't know when I have to wait! ”
Before his wife could react, Director Liu had already helped him put a lot of dishes in the bowl in front of her, and urged while clipping,
"Hurry up and eat, don't be stupid, otherwise, I won't care about you if you regret it later!"
She looked at the small bowl in front of her, there were pork ribs, braised pork, lion's head and some other dishes, some of which she didn't usually eat.
My wife couldn't help frowning, and was slightly disappointed in my heart:
This Lao Liu is becoming less and less concerned about himself now, he clearly knows that he never eats greasy things, such as braised pork, the reason why she makes this dish is entirely because Lao Liu loves to eat, but she herself is never fast.
However, now Lao Liu actually puts the braised pork in his bowl......
With a sigh, she picked up Kuaizi and first sandwiched a piece of pork ribs in the bowl, this dish is fragrant and attractive, and it feels more fragrant than the dishes she made, but some dishes smell fragrant, but they are not necessarily delicious when eaten.
This dish may be delicious, but is it really as delicious as Lao Liu said?
Shaking her head, she didn't think about it anymore, her stomach was already a little hungry, no matter whether it was delicious or not, she couldn't come on an empty stomach and go back on an empty stomach.
put the picked up pork ribs in his mouth and took a bite, and his wife was stunned for a moment, the taste was ......
The meat is tender and juicy, just take a small bite, the mouth is full of thick meat aroma, an indescribable umami, mixed with spicy, so that the taste buds on the tongue suddenly become active, and the mouth involuntarily begins to secrete saliva.
This, this is also too delicious, right?
After taking a bite, she couldn't help but taste it again, and then, another bite......
The expression on her face changed from confusion to shock at first, and then from shock to joy, as if she had been assimilated by the other people in the box, and gradually became exactly like those people......
Director Liu's wife, under the leadership of Director Liu, made Jiang's food unknowingly have another "captive".
……
Dining Room No. 7.
On the opposite side of the "winter" box, there is a "chrysanthemum" box of the same size.
In the "chrysanthemum" box, there is no excitement on Director Liu's side, and all the middle-aged men in their thirties and forties are sitting here, sitting quietly at the big round table, drinking tea and waiting for the food to be served.
It looked as if everyone wasn't here to eat, but to do a task.
"Don't be so serious, you don't even have a smile on your face, you are seen by others, and you think we are discussing what bad things to do!"
A tall and sturdy middle-aged man in his forties sitting at the top took a sip of water from his teacup, pretending to make a joke that was not very funny, he turned his head to look at a flat-headed man sitting at the bottom, and asked with a smile,
"Xiao Sun, you will still be in charge of the camera for a while, right?"
The flat-headed man nodded and responded: "Well, I'll just shoot with my mobile phone when the time comes, don't worry, I also brought a power bank, I'm afraid that the power will not be enough." ”
"Well, well done."
The tall middle-aged man nodded approvingly, glanced at the others again, and said,
"Each of us has our own specialties, and the dishes we ordered this time are all according to this standard.
After a while, the dish will be served, whoever is good at the dish will comment, remember to be calm, use professional words, this video is going to be put on the Internet, don't let people who know how to see the joke. ”
"Don't worry, didn't we already discuss it before we left? Can't forget! ”
"This is a good opportunity to show your level, and everyone will definitely not mess around!"
"That's right, how long have we been preparing for this, isn't it just for today?"
"Hehe, it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and walk it!"
“……”
A group of big men nodded in agreement, and a trace of ugly smiles appeared on their originally serious faces.
If Jia Dequan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, the one sitting at the top was He Dazhuang, the chef of Jiangxia Fengyun Restaurant, and the short and fat middle-aged man next to He Dazhuang was Qian Yunfan, the chef of Xiangchu Flavor Building.
This group of people is the group of chefs who called him from Jiangxia to tell him that they had come from Jiangxia to Jiangda and wanted to "pick" the dishes made by Jiang Yu!
"Well, we didn't come this time to cause trouble for others, we are also people with status, how could we do such a boring thing?"
Seeing that everyone had expressed their attitudes, He Dazhuang nodded with a satisfied face and continued,
"It's really a mixed chef world, and there are all kinds of people, so that a fledgling person dares to put green onions in his nose and pretend to be an elephant!
Obviously there is no such level, but he dares to sell things so expensive, isn't this deliberately deceiving and misleading diners?
This kind of thing, as a traditional chef, we have the responsibility and obligation to maintain a good consumption environment, and we must stand up and expose him!
Of course, we're not targeting him as a person, we're just targeting this undesirable phenomenon......"
