Food circle plug-in emperor

Chapter 657

Ai Houkuan quickly put down the wine bottle in his hand and walked up to the leaders. His feet were a little weak, he gritted his teeth, and stood up straight.

"This is their family's secret dish. The recipe is only served once a year. It is very worth trying."

He pointed at the dishes, and took stock of them one by one: "Appetizers are cashew nuts in sauce, caviar yellow croaker lion head, original abalone. The staple food is razor clams and five-color noodles."

After he finished speaking, a table of people looked at him strangely.

To be honest, I usually know a few of these hot dishes.

After all, Liu's cuisine is still very famous, but you need to go to the restaurant to eat it.

But Ai Houkuan suddenly reported the name of the dish so dryly, which always made people feel somewhat nonsensical.

Ai Houkuan, who had said something, looked at the people with surprised expressions, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "I didn't take the official account for this table of dishes. Old leader, you are usually too busy with work, I have a heart I want to treat you to a meal, to please you, every time you are either dealing with something, or pulling me to have a bite in the cafeteria. Over the years, the number of times we have eaten together at the same table can be counted with two hands come over."

"For this meal, I originally planned to book it at the Maxima Restaurant, but you said that your friend Minister Xiao has a bad stomach and can't eat seafood, so I changed to the private restaurant."

When Ai Houkuan said this, he was extremely distracted.

Anyone who is not a fool can understand the twists and turns on the table before.

This is Xiao Peng's scene to help Wang Qingyu for his sake.

That's how it works.

He felt that he should help implement Wang Qingyu's achievements.

After all, when you say something, others will know. As for whether there is any difference between what you say and what you actually do, and how much you exaggerate, no one will really pursue it.

Xiao Peng looked at his old friend and couldn't help being moved.

He raised his glass and clinked with his old friend: "Qingyu, it's actually not easy for us. When I took the civil service exam, life at home was so hard! At that time, I just entered the work unit. Going to work, your sister-in-law is afraid that I will be underestimated by others, so she gets up early every day, makes dumplings for me and takes them with you."

"As a result, in the whole unit, there is no one who brings meals. My colleagues, they either eat in the cafeteria or eat out."

"Later, I was busy with work. In order to achieve this future, really, I almost boiled myself to death. What's wrong with my stomach? It's you who always miss me."

Wang Qingyu and Xiao Peng drank it all in one gulp and didn't speak any more.

Ai Houkuan got up and helped them fill the wine glasses. Feeling sad, he said quickly: "The old leader has done so many things for us in Bei'an. We are leaving. Why don't we try the special dishes! This Liu's food is good. There are many dishes that have been improved from our local specialties.”

"It's like this Dongpo meat for the state banquet. I heard it from my friends before. Their family only arranges this dish once a year. Now let us catch up. Speaking of it, I borrowed the light of the old leader, This day is good, lucky, auspicious!"

The accompanying leader of Bei'an University smiled, toasted first, and then praised Ai Houkuan: "I didn't see it before, our Houkuan is also a very good person."

Everyone laughed, and the topic miraculously settled on traditional dishes.

In addition to the few leaders who came from above, there were also people from the city who came to accompany them, and there were exactly nine people at the table.

After the leader with the highest official position took the lead in moving the chopsticks, everyone picked up their own piece of Dongpo meat one by one.

In fact, Ai Houkuan has never been to Shangshi private restaurant for dinner.

The main reason is that this store is newly opened, and the time to settle in Beian is too short.

And he was too busy during this period. Since the old director had the news of the increase, as soon as the candidate list was released, the people in the entire office building immediately changed their direction.

Anyone with long eyes can tell that Wang Qingning obviously values ​​Ai Houkuan more, and the other one is purely a candidate for running with him in everyone's mind.

So there were so many people who showed their kindness to Ai Houkuan one after another, he was tired of dealing with it, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to accept various banquets casually, for fear that once he opened his mouth, he would not be able to stop.

However, although he has never actually eaten in the restaurant, Ai Houkuan has heard a little about Shangshi's private restaurant.

It is said that the owner of this restaurant is a descendant of a chef from the imperial dining room in ancient times. Many dishes in the restaurant were passed down from the palace in those days, and because it is a private restaurant, the recipes are different every day. Customers who dine are like opening a blind box.

No one knows exactly what dishes to catch up with after entering the store.

It is precisely because of this that Shangshi's private restaurant has a few secret dishes, which are said to be made only once a year, and it is luck to catch up.

And this state banquet Dongpo meat has a lot of background. I heard that this dish is one of the secret dishes.

Originally ordinary Dongpo pork, with the addition of the word "state banquet", the whole dish was suddenly elevated by more than one level.

Ai Houkuan was nervous all day, until this moment, he was finally able to sit on the chair with his chopsticks in hand, looking at the delicious dishes on the table, he suddenly felt hungry.

He waited for the other leaders to finish their dishes, and then carefully took away the last piece of Dongpo meat.

The stewed meat was so soft that it couldn't be picked up at all. Someone tried to pick it up with chopsticks just now, but the whole piece of meat was divided into two parts. Finally, it was put into the plate in two parts with a spoon.

Ai Houkuan looked at the Dongpo pork on the plate, half of which was fat and half was lean. It was obviously pork belly, but the layers were particularly distinct. It looked red and bright, and it was particularly appetizing.

He couldn't help but praise secretly.

It is indeed a secret signature dish, and it is really good. Just looking at the color of this dish, you know that the meat must be delicious.

Knowing that the meat was soft and rotten and difficult to grasp, Ai Houkuan simply used a spoon to divide the two-inch square piece of meat in two.

However, even knowing that the stewed Dongpo pork is extremely soft, when the spoon is pressed down, the meat will tremblingly be divided into two, revealing the delicate and attractive multi-layered layers inside, which is still very relaxing. ,sense of achievement.

Ai Houkuan couldn't help but put the small half piece of Dongpo meat into his mouth.

The entrance is fragrant and glutinous, fat but not greasy, with a wine aroma.

Smack and touch carefully, the taste is mellow and juicy, crispy but not broken, very delicious!
You hardly need to chew with your teeth, just a sip between your lips and tongue, and the whole piece of meat melts.

good to eat!

So delicious!
I don't know if I'm really hungry, but after eating such a small piece of Dongpo meat, Ai Houkuan only felt his index finger twitch, and his appetite was full.

He almost couldn't wait to put the remaining half of Dongpo meat into his mouth, savoring the indescribable aroma of the meat carefully.

Amazing!

It's so soft that it almost melts in your mouth, but when you put it on the plate, it can maintain a square shape.

This Dongpo pork looks like a plate of only [-] yuan, but in fact it is quite big. If it is ordinary braised pork, such a large piece of meat can be eaten directly, and it can basically relieve the craving. It is a bit tired .

But right now, Ai Houkuan just feels that he still has more to say.

If he was allowed to eat that plate of meat by himself, he felt that he could easily eat it even without rice.

And if it is paired with a bowl of fragrant rice, scrape the sticky soup on the bottom of the plate, and stir like this.

That must be the gods do not change ah!

Clicking his tongue, Ai Houkuan couldn't help but look at the empty plate.

It's a pity, I didn't eat enough!

No wonder it is said to be a secret dish in the store, it is indeed delicious!

He was thinking about it, and Xiao Peng, who was sitting next to the main seat, said sincerely: "This Dongpo meat is absolutely amazing!"

Everyone present couldn't help but agree.

Dongpo Pork was not considered a luxury dish at first, and most old restaurants have this dish.

Where are all the people here with their official positions, and they usually have frequent entertainment and exchanges, and they have never eaten any delicacies from mountains and seas.

But this plate of Dongpo meat for the state banquet almost lost its tongue.

Someone next to him sighed: "Oh, it's a pity, the dishes in this restaurant have always been only one plate per table, I really can't get enough!"

Xiao Peng answered with a smile: "It's really delicious, it's okay, let's come to Bei'an again when we have a chance next time."

With that said, Xiao Peng turned his head and glanced at Ai Houkuan.

Ai Hou was deeply blessed, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Yes, the leaders will look for me when they come to Bei'an in the future. I will definitely entertain everyone and do my best as a landlord!"

Everyone laughed as soon as they heard it. Although they knew that what Ai Houkuan said was just a scene, they were still quite useful.

The atmosphere at the dinner table just opened up like this.

Time passed slowly. In the beginning, the leaders were just chatting, and occasionally took Ai Houkuan to point out a few words. Later, after the meal was finished and drinks were drunk, everyone started chatting about how they hadn't been promoted to their current positions. difficult situation.

After such a chat, the distance between each other became closer, and when they spoke, they unconsciously became a little more sincere.

That meal lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.

Ai Houkuan sent the leaders who were still unsatisfied one by one back to the hotel.

When we were separated from the old director, Xiao Peng, the leader from the provincial capital, left him a phone call and said to him: "You Kuan, if I have a chance in the future, I will come to Bei'an again, and you still want to invite me to this private kitchen. For meals, their dishes are really authentic."

Ai Houkuan promised again and again.

After sending everyone away, he drove the car alone and walked slowly home.

When he encountered a red light on the road, he stopped the car, looked at the speeding vehicles in front of him, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have found something.

It is a posture when dealing with leaders, a way of communication that can make others feel recognized for themselves.

At this moment, Ai Houkuan felt that he had found a key and opened a wonderful door.

The business in the store is surprisingly good today, but no matter how good it is, the number of dishes is limited.

While Fu Yu was busy in the back kitchen with everyone, he was also silently calculating the order list delivered by the front hall.

Sure enough, when all the expected [-] tables were ordered, the back kitchen no longer took orders, and the front hall no longer accepted customers into the store.

At 10:30 in the evening, the restaurant closes on time.

Fu Yu took Liu Yunong's ride back to Maxima.

Driving the car, Liu Yunong suddenly went uncharacteristically and chatted with Fu Yu with great interest.

The topic of chat first revolved around the dishes cooked today, and then, without knowing how, it turned around Fu Yu's vacation today.

Liu Yunong deliberately inquired about Fu Yu's specific itinerary for today.

Fu Yu was not aware of it, and answered all the master's inquiries.

Liu Yunong asked: "Xiao Fu, today is a rare day off, where have you been?"

When mentioning the day's events, Fu Yu couldn't help but pursed his lips: "Oh, I went to the big world."

"Do you want to buy furniture?"

"Originally, I just planned to go for a casual stroll. But later, I found a bed and it looked good, so I bought it directly."

Liu Yunong was very excited: "Why do you suddenly want to buy a bed? Don't you live in the dormitory in the store now? This bed is not like other furniture. You must choose it carefully when you buy it. It must be comfortable and comfortable to sleep on. .”

Fu Yu nodded: "Yes, that's right, I was hesitant at first, but then I thought it was really good."

Liu Yunong inquired with great interest: "Why do you suddenly want to buy a bed? Aren't you living in the dormitory in the store now?"

Fu Yu explained: "Oh, I got a new house and wanted to decorate it briefly. I originally planned to visit the decoration company today, but then I bought the bed first by chance."

Liu Yunong lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Is that so, you went shopping alone without asking a friend to accompany you?"

Fu Yu smiled slightly: "No, I just went shopping with my friends to pick out, she is very discerning, and she helped me choose this bed."

Liu Yunong nodded stiffly with no expression on his face: "Oh, yes."

The two talked about something later, but Liu Yunong was obviously absent-minded.

After arriving at the place, Fu Yu got out of the car, waved goodbye to Liu Yunong first, and then watched the car drive away, then immediately took out his mobile phone and called Liu Yuqing.

Liu Yuqing got connected quickly, and her tone sounded a little surprised: "Hey, are you done?"

Fu Yu didn't rush in, so he stood on the sidewalk outside the back door and talked on the phone.

"Well, just got back."

Liu Yuqing asked curiously, "What's the matter? Are you busy so far?"

Before Fu Yu left in a hurry, Liu Yuqing was very curious. All the way back, she wondered if something happened in the store.

She also made a special call to Jiang Mo, who was at work today, to find out about the situation.

It turned out that everything in the store was as usual, and Fu Yu didn't go back at all.

Fu Yu said casually: "Oh, it's my master, who suddenly called me over."

Liu Yuqing was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Fu Yu is not clear about the relationship between her and Liu Yunong, and has never inquired about it.

It may be that although the two people have similar names, because Fu Yu has always called Liu Yunong his master, he ignored her name instead.

His name is Liu Yuqing, but he is called Xiaoqing along with the others.

It seems that the two have never been thought of together.

After all, if these two people don't stand together, although there is a faint similarity in their eyebrows and eyes, because of their age, personality and status, they are completely different in terms of clothing and temperament.

Most people don't think of these two together at all.
