Chapter 59: Improvisation
Wu Guangxiu's altered poem said the hearts of everyone at the table, yes, I have never encountered this kind of true taste. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoNow everyone's minds have changed, and I think Lei Lei's statement is not an exaggeration at all.
Not to mention this magical plate of shredded potatoes at this level of banquet, even if it is placed in the State Banquet in the Great Hall, it is not too much to use as the finale.
Wu Guangxiu, who has eaten all the world's famous foods, further commented: "I have eaten all the Michelin stars in the world, and it is no exaggeration to say that compared to this plate of shredded potatoes, any other dishes can only be regarded as scum." ā
After speaking, he handed the shredded potatoes in front of him to Lu Xiaofu, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to extricate myself if I eat it again, Xiaofu, if you don't dislike it, can you do it for you?"
Lu Xiaofu let out a long laugh and said, "It's not so particular, then I'm not welcome, to be honest, I'm really hungry!" took it from Wu Guangxiu's hand, and finished pulling it in three or two clicks, in fact, the other people looked at this plate of shredded potatoes with only one chopstick, and they were very envious, and they also wanted to eat, but the reserve of their identity seriously restrained them. But Lu Xiaofu's free and easy personality doesn't have so many scruples, he can eat if he wants, maybe Old Man Wu also took a fancy to this.
He wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "It's really strange, I couldn't move just now, why are I hungry again?"
The rest of the people nodded one after another, all feeling the same way.
Wu Guangxiu raised his eyes and beckoned to Lei Lei, who had been waiting for a long time.
But it was said that Lei Lei was standing elegantly beside the podium, looking at the noisy hall with interest, this was exactly the result she needed, it is conceivable that after these people go back, they will spread ten, ten and hundred, relying on their influence, Jiang Nanju will not be able to do it.
Seeing that Wu Guangxiu recruited herself, she restrained her smile and walked steadily. They are also working in the catering industry, they can be said to be peers, and they have long been familiar with this legendary predecessor, and their executive chef was invited from his restaurant with a high salary, which really made Jiangnanju rise to a higher level.
She stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello Elder Wu, I don't know what to order?"
Wu Guangxiu smiled and said, "Little girl, I wonder if the super chef you just mentioned, can the old man meet him?"
Lei Lei was stunned, she didn't expect him to make this request, her expression was slightly embarrassed, she really knew Li Xiang's virtue too well, this is a master who can lie down and never sit, can sit and never stand, and is lazy to the house, and is unruly and does not listen to anyone at all. No need to ask, she already knew that this guy would definitely not want to come to the front desk.
So he looked embarrassed and said, "This ......"
Wu Guangxiu said: "What's the inconvenience? If it doesn't work, the old man can go there in person." The old man was afraid that she didn't understand what she meant, so he pointed to the empty shredded potato plate on the table and said, "Because I see the hope of Chinese cuisine in this dish, I am fully confident that I can defeat other big dishes and re-establish the image of Chinese food as the world's top cuisine." ā
As soon as he said this, he immediately rose to a political level.
Everyone around expressed their dissatisfaction, and Wu Lao all spoke, you are still pushing back, how can this really be reasonable, don't you hear? This is the hope of Chinese food?
Lei Lei smiled bitterly, why didn't she want that guy to show up more, it was a good opportunity for publicity, the key was that people were not under her command.
At this time, Huang Shutong spoke and said, "Mr. Lei, why don't you go and ask this chef to meet." "Said yes, but in fact, his words were equivalent to a red-headed document, which directly defined the incident.
It stands to reason that as an old and spicy politician, he should not issue such an immature order, but he saw an opportunity from it, just like the **** ancestor who was defeated at that time, he grasped that the economy of Hecheng may reach a new level, which of course also means a shining political achievement.
As soon as this sentence came out, Xie Qiqi, who reacted slowly for half a beat, also thought of this, both had just taken office, and the three fires of the two of them did not burn much, so at this time, he was annoyed in his heart, regretting why he didn't say it in advance.
When Lei Lei heard Huang Shutong's words, her heart suddenly moved, and she secretly rejoiced: "There may be a door to things." ā
So she said to everyone: "Sorry, please wait!" and hurried to the back kitchen.
As Lei Lei thought, Li Xiang was about to leave with Su Hong's makeup soon after she left, the work was done, what were you doing if she didn't leave?
Fortunately, Wang Haiping knows his own young lady well enough, and maybe he will need him in a while, so he will keep him in every possible way. Li Xiang, who was bored, made an egg fried rice for Su Hongxiang and Yege respectively, fried in a big pot, and nine-tenths of it went into the kitten's belly.
At this time, he was lying on the sofa in the lounge humming, thinking quietly, Su Hongxiang said to Li Xiang next to him: "Little Lizi, what kind of calamity is there for my sister, how about it?" Although it sounds uncomfortable, it is really good. As he spoke, he pointed downstairs and said, "See, there's a green bamboo there." ā
Li Xiang looked at Su Hong's makeup for nearly two minutes, and said in a low voice: "This song involves a poignant love, how sad it is to listen to it, it is okay not to listen to it." ā
Enough beauty brought her enough confidence, so Su Hongxiang didn't care about Li Xiang's staring at her, and said disdainfully: "Hey, don't think that I don't understand music, it's because of poignancy that I want to hear it." Hmph, listening to you play music is worth looking at you, but now that my sister has changed her mind, I don't listen to it if you want to play. ā
But he didn't get angry, he just crossed his legs, lay on his back on the sofa, and pulled the tail of the night song for a while, feeling warm on his body, and couldn't help asking: "I said Xiao Lizi, what kind of rice are you cooking, why is it warm and comfortable every time you eat!"
Li Xiang smiled faintly, did not answer, his eyes revealed infinite tenderness, and he thought sadly in his heart: "Tu Jiao, Tu Jiao, when will you be able to return!"
Su Hongxiang turned her face and found that the current Li Xiangyi had changed her usual laziness, and her whole person had become dignified, especially her thin face was full of sadness, and her heart trembled inexplicably, as if she was tightly held by a big hand, and she couldn't breathe.
It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that she broke free from this atmosphere and said angrily: "Xiao Lizi, you are so young, where do you get your sentimentality, you are not allowed to show a bitter gourd face in front of your sister in the future, I don't know if I think I owe you a few cents!" The coquettish voice was deliberately amplified, just to hide the panic in her heart.
It was Lei Lei who came in, and said directly: "Li Xiang, follow me to the hall!"
"What are you doing?" As she pushed the door in, Li Xiang instantly returned to his lazy appearance.
"Someone wants to see you!" Lei Lei was in a hurry, she couldn't stalemate for too long.
Hearing her words, Li Xiang basically understood what she was doing, and said, "I'm not interested, I'm not going." ā
It was the time to chat with Su Hongxiang to enhance his feelings, how could he be in the mood to entangle with those irrelevant people, so he resolutely did not go.
At this time, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the guest list in Lei Lei's hand fell to the ground, and it happened that a card staggered next to Su Hong's makeup, picked it up casually, and found that the name of "Huang Shutong" was impressively listed, occupying the first position.
It turns out that the old man is also here, do you want to go over and say hello?
I couldn't help but look at Li Xiang who was asleep, and the ghost envoy said: "Little Lizi, why don't we go and have a look, don't forget, this dish also has a credit to me." ā
Li Xiang was helpless and said, "I really want to join in this fun?"
Su Hongxiang stood up and showed that she was serious with her actions, she directly grabbed Lei Lei's arm and said, "Sister Lei, let's go!" Before getting up, she didn't forget to pick up the night song that seemed to be asleep.
A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Lei Lei's mouth, and said, "Okay!"
The two opened the door and left.
Leaving Li Xiang to smile bitterly and shake his head, he had to follow.
In the banquet hall, the shock brought by the magical shredded potatoes continued to ferment, only a few people left temporarily due to emergencies, and no one was willing to leave after hearing that the super chef would appear soon.
Of course, the three of them walked to the banquet hall, and Lei Lei introduced to Li Xiang, who was dressed in a coarse cloth coat: "This is the super chef we hired with a high salary, Mr. Li Xiang!"
Before the words fell, nearly 200 people in the entire banquet hall suddenly stood up collectively, and thunderous applause erupted, which was their appreciation for the highest level of culinary skills, regardless of age.
In the applause, Huang Shutong frowned slightly in surprise, because he saw Su Hongxiang holding the kitten: This little girl, why did she come here, and she got together with this kid.
He had read in detail the report of the incident that led to Xu Yaozu's resignation, and he had also seen the photos of the two protagonists of the incident, wasn't this kid Xu Chuanzhi's adopted son? The main reason was that the white hair was too conspicuous.
He understood that the little villain and this kid were already classmates, and Li Xiang's father and son made a big fuss with the Public Security Bureau just to go to school.
Since it's a classmate, it means that it's the same class eight, and it seems that this kid is very strong. He heard about the eight-class system of the eighth middle school when his daughter was in school, and not everyone can get in, and he is ready to make a fuss about it.
I didn't expect this kid to be versatile, I don't have to say anything about my cooking skills, it's a bargain, and that taste is really only seen in my life.
Now it seems that this kid should have worked in Jiangnanju after school, and his daughter must have come over to join in the fun, this little villain was born a foodie.
is worthy of being a top political figure, and in the blink of an eye, he has already speculated the whole story. It's just that I didn't expect that the reason why Li Xiang came to school so hard was because of his daughter, if he knew this, I don't know what his expression would be?
At this moment he saw his daughter carrying the kitten and shaking it at him, and made a mischievous grimace.
This little villain, Huang Shutong glared at him angrily.
Of course, he was not the only one who was surprised, when he saw Li Xiang's appearance clearly, Lu Xiaofu seemed to have been immobilized, and stood on the spot.
He muttered, "How can this look, how can this look so similar? Aren't you an orphan?"
His abnormality caught Wu Guangxiu's attention and asked, "Xiaofu, what's wrong?"
Lu Xiaofu hurriedly came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, Elder Wu, I'm a little dizzy, I may have drunk a little too much wine today." This is obviously nonsense, as a grandmaster-level master of national arts, he is especially fond of alcohol, known as "a thousand cups are not drunk".
The warm applause finally gradually became smaller, Wu Guangxiu didn't care, walked forward directly, stretched out his hand and said: "Little brother, hello, you have such cooking skills at such a young age, which really makes the old man admire." ā
Li Xiangsong stood loosely and obliquely, not wanting to pay attention to it, but Su Hongxiang lost an eye dart, so he had no choice but to stretch out his hand and say, "The old gentleman has won the award!"
However, when shaking hands, he noticed Lu Xiaofu next to him, but at this time, his eyes showed a fine light, and his expression became solemn, not because of his master temperament hidden under his ordinary appearance, he could see at a glance that he practiced superb martial arts.
But Li Xiang didn't pay attention to this, but smelled a familiar smell from Lu Xiaofu, his heart moved, and he let go of Wu Guangxiu's big hand very rudely, and walked straight to Lu Xiaofu.
This unusual behavior attracted everyone's attention, what was he going to do? The enthusiastic applause couldn't help but stop.
"What is your surname?" Li Xiang's voice was slightly excited.
Lu Xiaofu's temperament is not calm, as Li Xiang approaches, this appearance is even more like a mold, stabilize his emotions and say: "Lu Xiaofu!"
"I wonder if Mr. Lu knows a little girl named Ji Ying?" Li Xiang said slowly, and in order to enhance his impression, he described it slightly: "At the age of seven or eight, it is very similar to me. ā
Hearing this, Lu Xiaofu's face changed greatly, it seemed that his guess was correct, he knew that sooner or later there would be this day. Looking at Li Xiang's familiar appearance, he didn't speak, just a wry smile on his face.
Seeing this expression, Li Xiang understood, a faint smile appeared on his face, and there seemed to be a sigh of relief in his mind, which was the residual thought left by Ji Gang, the voice of satisfaction. He nodded to Lu Xiaofu and said, "Mr. Lu, after the banquet, I wonder if we can talk?"
"Yuexiu Bar, ten o'clock!" Lu Xiaofu was also a person who could afford to put it down, and directly said the name of a bar next to the meal.
Li Xiang nodded, temporarily suppressed the urgency in his heart, resumed his lazy posture, returned to Wu Guangxiu's side, and said, "Old man, I'm sorry, I disturbed a little private matter." ā
Wu Guangxiu didn't think it was wrong, he was already old and old, he had a lot of bearing, and he knew that talented people must have eccentric personalities, the old man smiled: "It's okay, Xiaofu is also my old friend, the old Wu Guangxiu, he also has a little experience in cooking, I don't know if I can ask the little brother for cooking skills, especially this plate of shredded potatoes, why is it so delicious?"
"I'm sorry, old man, I'm just telling you, you can't learn either!" Li Xiang said lightly, in his opinion, he was just confident enough.
However, in the eyes of everyone, it is too arrogant, Wu Lao is not a person, even Secretary Huang is careful to accompany him, you dare to talk like this, isn't it just that you are a little superb in cooking, and you dare to be arrogant.
Everyone present, especially the rich people who were close to Wu Guangxiu, their appreciation for him disappeared and they began to glare angrily.
Su Hong's face also changed greatly, because he saw that his father was already frowning, his face was gloomy, and he was in a hurry. The reason why she insisted on coming out was because she had other thoughts, knowing that her father was also there, and she wanted Li Xiang to show her great and righteous side, not to offend people.
said angrily: "Little Lizi, speak well." ā
Li Xiang stared at Su Hongxiang's eyes, as if he saw something different, but it just disappeared in a flash.
He smiled wryly and muttered, "It's sad that no one wants to listen to the truth." Seeing Su Hongxiang frowning again, he said seriously: "Okay, listen to you." ā
Then he turned his head to Wu Guangxiu and said, "Old man, what I said is really true, since you are willing to watch it, then I might as well be respectful." ā
After speaking, he said to Lei Lei: "Let the kitchen prepare a basket of cucumbers." ā
