gourmet food

Chapter 1019 Everything went well?
The flower and bird market here is very large. At first glance, it is all shops. If you walk a little deeper inside, you can hear the crisp sounds of birdsong.

Although the sounds of these birds are messy, they don't sound harsh. Instead, you feel like you are in nature. In addition, many green plants are placed outside many shops, and the air feels quite fresh.

Wan Lao was wandering leisurely on the street with his bird cage. Yes, he was wandering. In Chu Yunfeng's view, the old man was just taking a leisurely walk.

It seems that you are not here to go shopping at all, but to enjoy the noisy atmosphere with a hint of dust.

After walking for a while, Chu Yunfeng gradually discovered that the shopkeepers here seemed to know Wan Lao. Many people would say hello to him after seeing him, and he was happy to respond enthusiastically.

Chu Yunfeng and President Hou were walking behind Wan Lao like followers, but Wan Lao seemed to have forgotten that there were two people behind him, and was walking in front of himself, not with them. Say something.

However, Wan Lao seems to be more easy-going than Mr. Li. I have never seen Mr. Li be so enthusiastic on the street. It seems that Wan Lao is not as difficult to contact and communicate with as I thought?

However, Wan Lao seemed to have forgotten himself and looked at the time. It has been about ten minutes. Isn't it a pity to waste time?

So Chu Yunfeng couldn't help it anymore, turned to President Hou and asked: "Did you sleep well last night?"

How could a veteran like President Hou fail to hear the underlying meaning of Chu Yunfeng's words?
He glanced at Chu Yunfeng in surprise. He didn't expect that he would now learn what he and President Xiong did. His learning ability is quite strong. Does Yunshan Wuzhao's words mean anything to him?
So President Hou secretly smiled in his heart and replied without any trace on his face: "It's not bad, but can you survive this night without sleeping?"

Old fox!
After Chu Yunfeng secretly discussed it in his heart, he continued to smile and said: "No problem, I am a young man, staying up all night is nothing."

"Hehe, that's fine!"

President Hou replied and then stopped talking, which made Chu Yunfeng feel that this old comrade was unkind!
Seeing that President Hou was completely clueless, Chu Yunfeng had no choice but to focus on Wan Lao again. Wan Lao seemed to be interested in the store he just walked to, so he immediately walked in. .

The store owner greeted Wan Lao warmly, and he knew him at first sight. At the same time, he also took care of President Hou and Chu Yunfeng, letting them look around as they pleased, and he would definitely give a good price to those who were promising.

President Hou and Chu Yunfeng didn't care. They looked at the items in the store casually. Not to mention, this store did have more varieties than other stores.

Not to mention other things, there are several varieties of turtles alone, and the store also has a special section for birds, which looks very elegant.

Wan Lao was watching the birds, while Chu Yunfeng was attracted by the turtle in the store.

As soon as he saw Wan Lao looking at these birds intently, the store owner became excited and introduced him to Wan Lao enthusiastically. As for President Hou, he stayed with Wan Lao all the time.

Chu Yunfeng turned around and saw the pile of turtles next to him. He immediately became interested and left the group of three.
Yellow turtle?
In the past impression, all turtles seemed to be gray or black, but this turtle turned out to be yellow. This made Chu Yunfeng look at it a few more times, and he was extremely curious.

As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old turtle is an 8-year-old turtle. Should you raise one or two for fun?

Maybe it can be passed down as a family heirloom to the next generation?
When Chu Yunfeng thought of this somewhat funny idea, he couldn't help but laugh. This laughter naturally attracted the attention of Wan Lao and President Hou.

Wan Lao's eyes glanced towards Chu Yunfeng inadvertently, and then he looked back, turning his eyes twice, not knowing what he was thinking.

President Hou really wanted to go up and kick Chu Yunfeng in the butt. You are going shopping with someone, can't you be more honest?
Before leaving, Mr. Li specifically told you to act according to the situation. Is this what you did?

Chu Yunfeng didn't know what the two people behind him were thinking, but he saw the sign of this turtle, called Yellow-throated Water Turtle, with a special mark on the back, also called Stone Money Turtle.

Stone money turtle?

Is this the money turtle?
Chu Yunfeng continued to scan and saw another sign that said Money Turtle. After comparing them, he discovered the difference between the two. He shook his head. He didn't expect that there were so many varieties of turtles.

However, the money turtle seemed to be more beautiful. Chu Yunfeng immediately asked: "Boss, how much does this money turtle cost?"

Hmm~?

President Hou immediately lost his composure. Aren't you here to accompany Wan Lao? You kid actually played with it on your own and stopped talking. You sounded like you really wanted to buy it?
The boss seemed to have heard Chu Yunfeng's intention to buy it. This golden turtle was one of the most expensive varieties in the store, so making money was very important, so he immediately abandoned Wan Lao.
"The one in your hand is fifty thousand, and the smaller one next to it is around thirty thousand. Do you want the bigger one or the smaller one?"

The boss was very enthusiastic as soon as he came over. Compared to the birds, which cost several thousand yuan on average, he naturally valued the turtle more.

However, Chu Yunfeng's heart skipped a beat. The price was completely beyond his estimate. He thought it would be a few hundred yuan, but he didn't know it was a hundred times higher than what he expected.

So Chu Yunfeng suddenly lost interest. They were just turtles. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a cheaper one and keep it?
Does this mean that more expensive turtles have longer lifespans?

Shouldn't this be possible?
After giving the boss a few casual perfunctory words, Chu Yunfeng no longer had the desire to learn more. The boss also saw that Chu Yunfeng's interest was greatly reduced, so he secretly sighed that it was a pity.

I was really depressed because Chu Yunfeng didn't know how to do it at first glance, so he thought the price was expensive.

You must know that the current price has dropped a lot. In the past few years, it would have been strange if you didn't sell one for [-] or hundreds of thousands. Moreover, it was still cheap and very popular.

However, being "interrupted" by Chu Yunfeng, Wan Lao immediately lost his mood to continue watching, so he said hello to the shop owner and left directly.

President Hou pulled Chu Yunfeng and continued to follow, and then asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything wrong?" Chu Yunfeng spread his hands and made a helpless expression, "I'm just shopping, I just took a look.

Besides, this Wanlao hasn't spoken for a long time, so you can't make me act according to the situation? "

Chu Yunfeng felt a little distressed, but what he didn't know was that Wan Lao also felt distressed and helpless.

When Mr. Li called him before, he said that a young guy with great talent had come to Beijing and asked him to mention him if he was interested.

As for other things, there is no mention at all, such as what is the name of this little guy?

What kind of cuisine did you study?

How old are you? How many years have you been studying cooking?

What does it have to do with you?

Mr. Li didn't even mention issues like these, so how could he raise them?

And Lao Li never makes a mistake. What does this sudden phone call mean?

He, an old guy, doesn't accept disciples, doesn't he do the same?
And now that he lost a little guy to himself, what exactly does he mean?

The meaning of the reminder is easy to understand. The most intuitive way is to teach him one or two dishes, but Lao Li didn't make it clear. What kind of dishes should he teach him?

Or maybe to understand it more deeply, is it because you want to accept a disciple and take him with you to give you more advice?
Therefore, Wan Lao, who was not quite sure of the situation, was also considering Chu Yunfeng, firstly to see what this guy's character was like, and secondly to test his temperament.

It's not that easy to learn skills. If you don't have long-term patience, you can only learn a superficial knowledge, so Wan Lao secretly shook his head from Chu Yunfeng's behavior just now.

It has only been less than half an hour, but this little guy has lost his patience. It seems that he is not a good material!

Even if it's like what Mr. Li said, it's useless to have good talent. At worst, just for the sake of Mr. Li's face, just teach him how to cook two dishes.

But in order to block Old Man Li's mouth, the most I can do is let him choose one, lest Old Man Li say that he doesn't give him face when he goes back.

But this cooking teaching is not a step-by-step instruction. Old Man Li also knows his own rules. You can't ask or talk when cooking. How much you can learn depends on your ability.

After walking out of the door, Wan Lao looked at the shops on the left and right. In fact, the corner of his eyes was staring at President Hou and Chu Yunfeng behind him, and he had to pay special attention to Chu Yunfeng.

When he saw Chu Yunfeng making helpless gestures with his hands, Wan Lao deepened his stereotype of Chu Yunfeng's temperament.

This little guy is not only impatient, but also very unstable. Such a person often lacks stamina in learning cooking, and no matter how talented he is, he can't go far.

Chu Yunfeng didn't expect that one of his unintentional actions would cause Wan Lao to give him a bad evaluation. This was so unfair.

The key is that we only have one day today, how can I afford to waste it?
If I were to spend a day shopping with the old man, where would I have the chance to learn how to cook?

So at this moment, Chu Yunfeng has given up on learning from Wan Lao. Judging from the current situation, there should be no chance, so if you miss it, you will miss it.

There was nothing he could do if fate didn't come, and Chu Yunfeng was not the kind of person to force things, so from this moment on, he no longer felt as restrained as before, and instead became free and easy as he walked.

This made Wan Lao think that he had completely seen through Chu Yunfeng's character. In just a short period of time, the flaws in his character were completely exposed. Young man, he is still too young.

After walking for another half an hour, Wan Lao found that he had completely "seeed through" Chu Yunfeng, and there was no point in going on a stroll, and he had long since lost his leisurely mind.

So he proposed that the two of them go back and sit with him, which actually surprised President Hou.

Does this count as Chu Yunfeng passing the test?

Chu Yunfeng didn't understand that President Hou was very knowledgeable. An old senior like Wan Lao had his own set of codes of conduct for the tests of his juniors.

To put it bluntly, you have to suit your "appetite", otherwise they won't pay attention to you even if you are awesome.

But today was very strange. In my opinion, Chu Yunfeng's performance was completely beyond his understanding. He did not blindly cater to Wan Lao, but went shopping with him a little self-consciously.

It seems that the purpose of his coming here is very simple, that is, to go shopping leisurely by himself while accompanying others. Is this because he has seen through Wan Lao's purpose and strategy?
Could it be said that Wan Lao likes this kind of gameplay?

Did Chu Yunfeng find out Wan Lao's pulse?
Huh~?

What a boy, you unexpectedly captured Wan Lao. Otherwise, Wan Lao would have just found an excuse and left. Why would he ask the two of you to come over for tea?

Chu Yunfeng was also a little surprised. He didn't think much about what Wan Lao said about drinking tea, and just regarded it as a visit.

So the three of them got into President Hou's car together. Chu Yunfeng sat in the front row, and Wan Laoda sat in the back. As soon as they got in the car, they closed their eyes to rest, which made the atmosphere in the car feel stuffy for a while.

Wan Lao didn't speak, and President Hou and Chu Yunfeng didn't know what to say, so they kept the atmosphere like this. After half an hour, they finally drove into an alley.

There were not many people in the alley. President Hou parked his car in front of an arched door. The door had a strange shape, but what surprised Chu Yunfeng was that there was no signboard outside the door.

Didn't it say that Wan Lao opened a private restaurant in the capital? This doesn't look like a restaurant, does it?
After the car stopped, Wan Lao opened his eyes immediately. He didn't say anything after getting out of the car, and walked directly in through the arched door.

Chu Yunfeng couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is this the private restaurant opened by Wan Lao?"

"Yeah, I've been to this place once." President Hou said as he opened the trunk and took out the good wine that Chu Yunfeng had brought. "Their food is pretty good, and it tastes really good." Very good, but difficult to book.

Come on, carry your things and let's go in! "

President Hou seemed a little happy that things went very smoothly today. Before entering, he patted Chu Yunfeng on the shoulder twice, looking forward to Chu Yunfeng's performance.

Since Wan Lao wants to give some advice, he will definitely let Chu Yunfeng show off his skills soon. He will just watch the show from the sidelines. He just hopes that Wan Lao will not be stunned by Chu Yunfeng like Mr. Li.
But Chu Yunfeng has been muttering in his heart, Qing Qing himself hasn't "acted according to the situation" yet, so why did he break into the house?
Could it be said that the eyes of Wan Lao can see through everything and recognize talents with wise eyes?
After walking into the arched door with a luxurious gift bag, Chu Yunfeng realized that there was something special inside, and he immediately exclaimed that the style here is quite elegant!
It is really hidden in the city. Who would have thought that the layout behind the arch would be pavilions and pavilions, which is very elegant, and you can also see the very conspicuous signboard - Wanjia Cuisine!

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, the waiter came up to them and asked if they were President Hou and Chu Yunfeng. After confirming, he took the two of them out of the side door.

If he hadn't gone to the front hall, he would have probably gone to the kitchen or the backyard. President Hou was even more certain that today would be smooth sailing. He couldn't stop smiling no matter what.
