After the end of the morning market, Shangguan Peng was soothing under the grape trellis, Xiuxiu and Liu Hai were laughing and choosing dishes, coming to the Xiaoxi Restaurant was like entering heaven, he could eat full every day, the boss's brother also made him a lot of small snacks, Xiuxiu was like a hamster, he could always see his mouth bulging, his bangs were a little bigger, he was more sensible, and he was immersed in his work, but he could also see a smile often on his face.

"Boss, there is a housekeeper from the Zhou family in the Eastern District who wants to discuss business with the boss. Xiao Lin came to Shangguan Peng's side and whispered in Shangguan Peng's ear.

Shangguan Peng sat up, the Zhou family in the eastern district, he had heard of it, was a big family, there were many businesses in the city, and there were several Zhou Ji in the West Market that belonged to his family, and what business was there to discuss with him in a small restaurant.

"You make a pot of tea and send it to the front, and I'll come. Shangguan Peng returned to the room and thought about it for a while, there should be nothing to show the stuffing, so what kind of business did the Zhou family talk to themselves?

The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and since you can't think of anything, you just face it directly. Shangguan Peng came to the front hall, "You are the cook of this restaurant, our master wants to treat you, I heard that your cooking skills are good, and the dishes you cook are also novel, so I will let you cook a meal in our house and give you two hundred taels of silver" said and put down a few ingots of silver.

It turned out that this was the case, but he could do it, Shangguan Peng hurriedly replied, "Master Zhou values it as a small honor, and I don't know what to cook." ”

"The ingredients are ready for shopping in the house, you look at it, if you get it well, our lord will have a heavy reward, this time it is a master of the rivers and lakes, if you are fooled, you will not have a good fruit to eat." The Zhou family unceremoniously intimidated Shangguan Peng.

"Look at what you said, do things for Master Zhou, I have a few dares to fool things, and I will definitely satisfy the guests. ”

"Let's go, go early, get ready," said the person who came out for a short break.

Shangguan Peng took his four buddies, put on the carriage, took some homemade spices and rice wine and followed behind, and swayed all the way to the Zhou Mansion.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Shangguan Peng couldn't bear it, it was a big family, this kitchen was full of fume stains, and Shangguan Peng was disgusting, the first thing was to let the four children clean the kitchen, Shangguan Peng went to check what ingredients there were and what dishes to prepare.

It's quite complete, the big families are more local tyrants than Shangguan Peng, flying in the sky and walking underground, swimming in the water, there are enough for Shangguan Peng to play, Shangguan Peng looked at the ingredients, and began to brainstorm in his mind, he had to get something to surprise the turtles in the other world.

After thinking about it, Shangguan Peng decided to pick some less labor-intensive ones from the Manchu and Han banquets to shock these rich old hats from the other world.

Turning back to the kitchen, Shangguan Peng looked around again, and after some cleaning, the kitchen finally looked over.

Commanding the apprentices to pick and wash the ingredients they want to use, Shangguan Peng hangs the soup first, as the saying goes, good dishes are easy to fry, and soup is difficult to hang.

Let's get a few snacks to deal with Shangguan Peng made an almond bergamot, crispy apples, honey peanuts and walnuts sticky.

At this time, the housekeeper came in, "Kitchen boy, you are quick with your hands and feet, you don't have much time to start the banquet, don't lose face to our Zhou family." ”

"This master, I just made a four-flavor dim sum, ready to serve it, and appetize it for the guests, you can't see it. ”

"Yes, understand the rules, know if it is appropriate to ask first, we have to figure it out before we can do things, otherwise be careful with your skin, since this is the case, then give it to you." ”

Shangguan Peng asked the waiting maid to bring the four-flavor dim sum and dried fruits.

Appetizer Shangguan Peng prepared five appetizers for the Mongolian pro-fan banquet: dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, Hongzi chicken shredded cucumber, Fuzi braised tenderloin, 10,000-character spicy belly shredded, and Nianzi mushroom cabbage.

Next, there is not so much attention, the appetizer has a good intention, and the back is a patchwork of shredded chicken white fungus, eight treasure rabbit dice, Luohan prawns, fresh mushroom cabbage heart, pearl tofu, golden leg roasted round fish, hydrangea scallops, colorful beef tenderloin, chrysanthemum loin, cuttlefish soup, hanging stove sand board chicken, three loofah rolls, sauce stewed quail, three fresh meatballs, spicy hoof tendons, wild duck peach kernels. Finally, I cooked another pot of laba porridge.

Shangguan Peng was cooking while eavesdropping on the conversation in the dining room in front of him like a thief, at the beginning, the head of the Zhou family and the unknown martial arts person had a decent conversation, nothing new, but Shangguan Peng sent a letter, all the dishes were brought to the door by the maid, and they stopped, and the housekeeper personally brought them in.

If there is no secret, Shangguan Peng doesn't believe it, but he doesn't know what the people in front of him can reveal, and when the wine has passed three rounds, the head of the Zhou family really said something that does not match his identity.

"Our Zhou family has been rooted in Weinan Province for more than 300 years under the orders of the Lord, and today's achievements are all due to the efforts of the sect, and now it is time for us to dedicate ourselves to the great cause of the sect leader, I don't know what the envoy has to convey his orders. ”

"The movement of the year ago is that the elders in the sect did not listen to the command, and acted recklessly in Weinan Province on their own initiative, the Zhou family did not participate in it, and the sect leader was very happy, but the Wuyun Division had already noticed Weinan Province, which made the sect leader's plan almost aborted, and now the lord has changed his course and set up another position, ready to launch a new force, all of which are the henchmen of the lord in operation, and there should be no more baskets, and the lord hopes that the financial resources of the Zhou family can become a solid backing for the new forces. ”

"There is an order from the Lord, how dare I disobey someone in Zhou, but whatever the Lord orders, my Zhou family will also do it. ”

"Your loyalty, I will bring it to the Lord, today I came mainly to enable your Zhou family, specific matters, there will be another person to contact the Zhou family, this has nothing to do with me, this is also the meaning of the Lord, one-line contact, to prevent further mistakes, by the Wuyun Division to catch it all. ”

"My subordinates understand, these things, I will rot in my stomach, and there will be no second person in the entire Zhou family who knows, and my Zhou family's allegiance to the Holy Sect is also a secret that the head of the family has passed on by word of mouth, and no one else knows. ”

"Yes, today's dishes are also good, the head of the Zhou family bothered. ”

"In the last six months, a new restaurant has opened in the city, which is also a little famous, and I specially found the new dishes to entertain adults. ”

Then the two began to brag nonsense, Shangguan Peng had already gotten what he wanted, so he simply stopped eavesdropping and devoted himself to cooking.

After noon, Shangguan Peng used the leftovers he had just made to make a table of good dishes to treat himself to drink guys, but he didn't expect to recruit the housekeeper, and he sat down to eat without saying a word.

"Your meal today is good, the lord is very satisfied, there will be a reward in a while, and you have made a lot of money today." ”

"It's not all the housekeeper you take care of, you drink this wine" Shangguan Peng poured him the flower carving.

While eating, the head of the Zhou family turned to the back kitchen and saw Shangguan Peng, the housekeeper and the guys eating with their mouths full of oil but not angry.

"Are you a cook? you can fight for me today, butler, I will reward him with another two hundred taels later, and if you need it in the future, you will come to my house to help" Look around, "Butler, let the people in the family learn a little, you see how clean the kitchen is after use, is it comfortable to eat the dishes made in this kitchen, and urge the cook at home to clean the kitchen in the future." ”

Turning around and going out, the head of the Zhou family was very happy with his light steps, and on the other hand, Shangguan Peng saw that the light skills of the head of the Zhou family were good.
