Rebirth to 90s: Start from Scratch

This private kitchen is located in a small courtyard in an alley. No car can get in, let alone a parking space.

Gong Zhihua knocked on the door.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps inside. The door was opened by a middle-aged man in his thirties. He saw Gong Zhihua smiling and said, "Zhihua, why do you have time to come to me today?"

"Bring friends to eat the dishes made by my uncle, I will introduce you to Zhang Qianxiu, boss Zhang, and this is Miss Su Yuwei." Gong Zhihua said and pointed to the middle-aged man: "This is my classmate. Li Shouxin."

The two sides greeted each other, and Li Shouxin said with a smile: "Boss Zhang and Miss Su, they are all home-cooked dishes. Eat whatever you like."

Zhang Qianxiu said politely: "Mr. Li is polite, your craftsmanship Manager Gong is full of praise, and most people can't eat it. It is our honor to have the honor to taste it today."

"It's all handicrafts handed down from the family." Li Shouxin said.

Several people entered the yard. The quadrangle courtyard was entered one at a time. Because of the limited area, there was no house on the side of the door, just a wall.

Li Shouxin led the three into the kitchen. A middle-aged man in his early fifties was cooking.

"Dad, Zhihua brought a friend to dinner, what other dishes are there?" Li Shouxin said and introduced him.

The middle-aged man was busy cooking. He turned around and said hello to Zhang Qianxiu and said, "Mr. Zhang and Ms. Su, the food is on the shelf. Take a look. You can tell me what you want to eat. Keep your word. Give it to me. Let me introduce you."

"Master Li, you are busy, so we can see for ourselves!" Zhang Qianxiu said.

There are pork, beef, and mutton on the back shelf, but the weight is not much, it is estimated to be about a catty. There are also some vegetables and side dishes. There is also a tank on the side of the shelf. There are two carps in it. On the side of the fish tank. There is a cage with two chickens, a duck and a goose in it, all alive.

Su Yuwei asked curiously: "Boss Li, what does Master Li do best with this chicken?"

Li Shouxin said: "My dad's best is the cloth bag chicken, but it lacks the ingredients, I am afraid that it will not be able to make it. The authentic cloth bag chicken needs sea cucumber, seaweed, fungus, and bamboo shoots. The best is winter bamboo shoots. I didn't prepare these ingredients today. "

"If you two want to eat, you can make a reservation two days in advance. We will buy all the ingredients in advance when you come to eat. When the two of you come, you can almost eat it."

"There are some real delicacies to be made for a few hours. What you eat at the hotel is made quickly and tastes good. You book in advance and we will start preparing with time."

"If the two of you want to eat chicken, I'm afraid I can only eat the home-cooked way today, such as cloth bag chicken and Qilu roast chicken."

"You can also make a piece of hibiscus chicken."

Su Yuwei said: "Then let's eat a homemade recipe, and then a piece of hibiscus chicken."

"Okay!" Li Shouxin asked, "Do you need any more dishes?"

Su Yuwei looked at Gong Zhihua and Zhang Qianxiu: "What do you eat?"

Gong Zhihua said: "Boss Zhang, come on!"

Zhang Qianxiu ordered a vegetable and a soup.

Gong Zhihua ordered another homemade fried pork.

Ordering good dishes, when a few people came out of the kitchen, a bald middle-aged man walked in with a smile: "Master Li, I will learn how to do this sweet and sour fish with you."

When the middle-aged man saw Zhang Qianxiu and others, he was taken aback for a while, and said with a smile: "Are you here for new friends? Good two, Tao Junren, I don't know how they are called?"

With that, Tao Junren stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two of them.

Zhang Qianxiu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Tao Junren: "Hello, Mr. Tao, next Zhang Qianxiu."

"Hello Mr. Zhang!"

Su Yuwei also shook hands with Tao Junren and said, "Hello, Mr. Tao, my name is Su Yuwei."

"Hello Miss Su!"

After greeting, Tao Junren said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang and Miss Su are not locals?"

"No, our Xiaojiang people." Zhang Qianxiu said.

Tao Junren said: "Xiaojiang is a good place, no matter if the people are good and the food is good, my favorite is Lu cuisine, followed by Xiaojiang cuisine."

After chatting with Tao Junren, Tao Junren still wants to learn how to cook, and Zhang Qianxiu and the three of them entered a room with Li Shouxin.

There are a total of four tables in the room, two of which are already occupied, but everyone’s chatting voices are very small, and basically only the people at the table can hear them.

When the people at the two tables saw Zhang Qianxiu coming in, they all smiled and nodded in greeting, behaving very politely.

There are men and women in the two tables, and they are not ordinary people, but they are very polite in speaking and doing things. People who come to eat here should be people of higher quality.

After the three of them sat down, Gong Zhihua said softly: "Mr. Zhang and Ms. Su, not many people come to eat here, but they are all people who like to eat."

"Just now, Mr. Tao is the honorary consultant of the Chamber of Commerce, and he is also in business. He has a shoe factory and a clothing factory, and his business is still very large."

Zhang Qianxiu only knew about the Chamber of Commerce before, and in this life he learned about the role of commerce only after reading books.

A chamber of commerce is actually an organization organized spontaneously by businessmen. Joining a chamber of commerce still has many benefits. For example, you can recognize other businessmen, even if they are not peers, and have a wide network of contacts. It is a good thing. You can use it if you decide. A lot of information is a good channel to obtain information. The official and the chamber of commerce are also in contact. Chamber members can often get some news in advance; in addition, they can get loans or financing when they need money. The members of the Chamber of Commerce also have a certain understanding of each other, it is better than you go to the outside world to find them.

A place where a businessman holds a group is indeed useful.

Zhang Qianxiu really wanted to get to know this Tao Junren, and wanted to join the Chamber of Commerce to try.

After all, to join the Chamber of Commerce is to give some membership fees at most, and there is no substantial contribution, but you may be able to hear what you want to hear and know what you want to know.

"Manager Gong, is there any way to get to know this Mr. Tao?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

"Just wait for Mr. Tao to come out and say hello. Mr. Tao is still very approachable." Gong Zhihua said: "I used to attend a cocktail party and talked to him a few words, and I will meet him later, but I and Tao The husband does not have a deep friendship, and can only say that he knows him, and he doesn't have a phone number."

"Then get to know you later!" Zhang Qianxiu said.

Su Yuwei has no interest in the Chamber of Commerce, but has some interest in other associations: "Manager Gong, is there a Chinese Studies Association?"

Gong Zhihua thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "It seems that there is no, but there are calligraphy associations, go associations, writers associations, etc. If Miss Su is interested, I can find a way to help introduce them."

Su Yuwei said: "Are there any requirements for joining the Writers Association?"

Gong Zhihua said: "If you have published a book, it will be recommended by a lower-level association or recommended by two members. It will basically pass. Miss Su's book will be made into a TV series. It will definitely be no problem to join the Writers Association."

"Then I will try another day." Su Yuwei said.

When the three people were chatting, Tao Junren walked in with a plate of fish, and sat down at the table next to Zhang Qianxiu. There were already three people on this table. They had been chatting in a low voice before, because the table was separated from each other. It was far away, and I couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Since the food is home-cooked, the speed of serving is still very fast.

Zhang Qianxiu took a bite of chicken with expectation, and instantly felt that as a human being in his two lives, this should be the best chicken I have ever tasted. It tastes fresh, flexible, and doesn't look old at all.

Su Yuwei also said again and again: "This tastes good, and I will come and learn from Master Li another day."

Gong Zhihua said with a smile: "Master Li is still very hospitable. As long as he comes and is willing to go to the kitchen to learn, he is willing to teach."

Only then did Zhang Qianxiu feel that the life of the truly rich is actually very particular, everyone is also very polite, and at least some people are very cultivated.

"I don't know if Xiao Jiang has such a private kitchen." Zhang Qianxiu said with a sigh.

"It should be available in many places, but it's hard to find private kitchens. If you are not an acquaintance, you can't find it at all." Gong Zhihua said.

This is the truth. In this alley, it looks like a private house, and it is not upscale. No one would have thought that there is a place to eat.

And the people who came to eat were very thoughtful, and they couldn't hear clearly what the next table was saying after sitting not far, and even the people outside couldn't hear it.

"When the time comes, I will go back and ask." Zhang Qianxiu said.

Su Yuwei said: "It might be true. In our city, my dad seems to have said it, but the county has never heard of it."

"When the time comes, ask uncle." Zhang Qianxiu said.

When the three were talking, Master Li, who was in charge, came in and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, Miss Su, Zhihua, is it okay to eat? Does it suit your appetite? If you have any shortcomings, please advise me. Corrected times."

Su Yuwei praised: "Master Li, your craft is really rare in the sky. It is hard to find in the world. It has the original flavor and delicious fragrance."

Zhang Qianxiu said: "Master Li, I have a thick mouth. I really can't tell the difference between ordinary meals. Now I really feel it. This simple plate of fried chicken with green peppers is definitely the best I have ever tasted. "

"There is also this dish of cabbage. I didn't even know that a dish of cabbage can taste like this."

"This cabbage, the stem is like white jade, the leaves are like green jade, white and green, the mouth is crisp and refreshing, and the taste is sweet and fresh. It is absolutely perfect to describe it in one word!"

Master Li laughed happily when he heard the compliments of the two of them, and said: "This green pepper fried chicken, I first marinate it with the ingredients, and then use the oil to saute..."

Master Li explained how these dishes were made.

Zhang Qianxiu is not a person who likes to cook, but when Master Li speaks, he still listens carefully. This has something to do with Master Li's doing well, and it also has something to do with Master Li who feels very good when he speaks.

Master Li didn't delay too much time and left after a few minutes of chatting.

Both Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei were very satisfied with this meal, not to mention that ordinary restaurants on the roadside, even the meals made in high-end hotels like Wange Hotel, are not as good as Master Li's.

When Zhang Qianxiu was eating well, it happened that Tao Junren's table also got up and prepared to leave.

Zhang Qianxiu quickly walked up: "Mr. Tao!"
