Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 18 Make extra money
For the villagers of Gouzi Village, today's banquet held by the Zhang family was a grand one.

Especially the three meat dishes, pork with dried plums and vegetables, Sixi meatballs, and braised pork.

In their words, the delicious tongue will be bitten off.

It's so weird.

It’s also meat, but the master’s hands make it lean, tough but not greasy; fat, oily but not greasy.

But the meat they make will make your stomach churn if you eat too much fat meat, while the lean meat will be very chewy, like a hard lump.

After this banquet, Master Su's reputation has spread.

Who can have such a son-in-law? Wouldn't it mean that they don't have to worry about food and drink?
Zhang Limin's mouth was full of food tonight.

He originally thought that Li Gen's signature braised pork in the town's state-owned restaurants was considered a masterpiece.

But he didn't expect that Su Qingfeng's braised pork would open up a new world for him.

He is picky and doesn't like to eat fatty meat. Even when he ate today's braised pork with dried plums and vegetables, he deliberately included the piece with less fat.

But when eating braised pork, this is not the case at all!

Soft and tender, stewed over low heat like tofu, the fat meat melts in your mouth, immediately leaping over the lean meat, and became his favorite.

The new daughter-in-law next to her frowned when she saw the table full of people eating and drinking, as if she was a little disgusted, but she felt a little moved when she smelled the fragrance in the air.

But before she could move her chopsticks, she saw that the plates at the banquet were empty.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Limin reluctantly took out half of the meat in the bowl and started to babble:

"Be smarter when you eat next time. You have to grab the food. Why do you expect others to feed you? If you are like this, you can't even grab the food at the children's table."

The new daughter-in-law's face darkened, she lowered her head and secretly grinded her teeth.

Zhang Limin, you wait tonight!

As the hot dishes were served, the banquet gradually came to an end.

Su Qingfeng's chest was pressed against her back with hunger, and she brought a group of helpers with her to eat lively at a separate dining table.

At the dinner table, there were many people inquiring about Su Qingfeng's origin without leaving any trace.

After just chatting for a while, these hard-to-fool ladies discovered that although Su Qingfeng was young, he was still very good at being vague.

When the food was almost done, Chen Meilan also walked in.

Her face was full of smiles, her cheeks were rosy, and she looked beaming.

When he met Su Qingfeng, he couldn't stop saying nice things.

While she was talking, she quietly handed Su Qingfeng a few cents.

Su Qingfeng pretended to refuse, then stuffed it back into his pocket.

He just glanced at it casually, no more, no less, exactly ten yuan.

In these days, when the salary of ordinary workers is only 25, the money earned from hosting a banquet can almost be worth less than half a month's salary.

No wonder others say that chefs are popular.

Just as he and Li Jing finished packing and were about to return to Sujiacun, an unexpected person suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Zhang Limin, if you are not with your wife at this time, what are you doing to us?"

Li Jing looked at Zhang Limin, feeling like he was looking at a fool: "This is not how you marry a wife."

Zhang Limin thought about how the new wife was picky in her new house. One moment she disliked the dark and unclean floor, and the other she disliked the dust on the kang.

Being disliked by her, no matter how much excitement and charm I had in my heart, they all disappeared without a trace.

But in the end, Zhang Limin just smiled bitterly, said nothing, and changed the topic.

"Master Su, can you make sauce?"

"I know chili sauce, soybean sauce, and egg sauce. Why do you ask?"

Su Qingfeng had some doubts in her heart.Zhang Limin rubbed his hands, took Su Qingfeng to a small corner, and said in a low voice:

"Master Su, you also know that our drivers who drive long distances may look good, but they often drive outside, and sometimes they can only handle one mouthful of food."

"You are good at cooking, so I wanted to ask you if you could make some sauce so that we can have more flavor when we eat and dip the steamed buns."

"Of course, we... don't want your sauce in vain."

When he said the last sentence, Zhang Limin raised his eyebrows at Su Qingfeng and showed a tacit smile.

Looks like another bit of extra money.

Su Qingfeng did have a bottle of shrimp paste hidden at home, but not only was the quantity small and troublesome, it also took a month to ferment, so it obviously could not be supplied in large quantities.

Chili sauce is a good choice.

Long-distance drivers are often prone to dozing off during the drive. It is a good choice to dip some chili sauce during meals.

Su Qingfeng thought in his heart and said this.

Zhang Limin's eyes suddenly lit up. The chili sauce soothes the mind, wards off the cold, and is also a great addition to meals.

The only thing he had to worry about was whether Su Qingfeng could make delicious chili sauce at his young age.

However, Zhang Limin's worries faded away unconsciously when he saw Su Qingfeng's bright eyes.

He took out two dollars and stuffed it into Su Qingfeng's hand, "This counts as a deposit. You can make three or four bottles to try first."

Su Qingfeng stopped pretending to refuse.

In front of a fox like Zhang Limin who has become a spirit, there is no need to play nonsense.

When it comes to business, it’s better for everyone to figure it out clearly.

After bidding farewell to the Zhang family, Su Qingfeng took Li Jing to another main road.

Zhang Limin was a little surprised. In his eyes, Li Jing looked at the sky and the earth, and no one could look down upon him.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of going to the countryside, he would become so familiar with Su Qingfeng.

On the way home, Su Qingfeng saw the panel refreshed again.

……

now.

In a state-owned hotel.

Lin Mingliang felt uneasy.

There were faint beads of sweat falling on his face.

Just because that evening, the cadres who came to buy braised pork came again!
Not only that, the cadre also brought his mother to the state-owned hotel with a smile on his face.

The old lady is old and has children and grandchildren around her. She has no obsession with becoming rich and wealthy. Her only thought is to eat well.

When she thought of the braised pork that night, she couldn't help but praise, "Master Li, your braised pork is getting better and better every time you make it. I ate it last time, but when I tried it made by someone else, I couldn't eat it at all. No, I came here specially to eat it."

Li Gen only knew that Su Qingfeng made a pot of braised pork that night, but he did not expect that the old lady happened to eat the braised pork made by Su Qingfeng.

He was also very happy, thinking that his cooking skills had really improved.

Lin Mingliang's hands shaking when chopping vegetables were shaking.

The happier the master is, if he discovers later that the braised pork was not made by the master, wouldn’t he die even more miserably?

He was extremely hesitant. If he didn't say anything now, he would be in trouble later.

But now that I have said it, wouldn’t it mean to slap the master in the face and admit that his skills are not as good as the new master Xiao Su?

He secretly glanced at the master who had already started cutting the flower knife seriously, and sighed heavily.

Ugh!
What is this?
Gods fight, mortals suffer?
