Chapter 305 The restaurant owner’s intentions(1/2)
It didn't take long for the table in front of He Fan to be filled with seven dishes. The aroma that greeted him made He Fan want to move. Wang Zijie and Wu Xutao next to him couldn't help but swallow.
I was already a little hungry, but the aroma of this dish entered my nose, making me really want to eat.
In addition to the lotus porridge, rock sugar lotus seed soup, and sweet and sour carp that the restaurant owner initially served, there were four other dishes on the table.
They are Hucai chicken nuggets and jar meat, grass buns and Sixi meatballs.
The Hu vegetables in the first dish of Hu Cai Chicken Nuggets refer to the five plants produced in Daming Lake in the old spring city: wild rice, cattail, white lotus root, lotus seeds, and white lotus.
Wild rice is the tender stem of the water plant wild rice. Its texture is tender and crisp and it is more nutritious.
Pucai is the bud of cattail. Its shape is like a water chestnut and its taste is like a bamboo shoot.
Lotus is also called lotus. Its stem (lotus root), fruit (lotus seeds), flower (lotus flower) and leaves (lotus leaf) play an important role in Quancheng cuisine. The lotus root has seven holes and its flesh is white and sweet.
Lotus seeds are grown from lotus cells and can be eaten after removing the skin.
The Hu Cai Chicken Nugget combines the famous vegetables of Daming Lake and is paired with chicken breast. The condiments are refined salt, soy sauce, green onion and pepper Shaoxing wine, MSG, green onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings. It is novel in conception, exquisite in production, fresh and refreshing.
, the fragrance is not greasy, it is a strong seasonal name
As for the second dish of pork jar, this is also a famous dish in Jinling. According to the restaurant owner, his ancestors used to feed a large family on this dish. As for whether it is true or not, He Fan is not sure.
The characteristics of this jar meat are its ruddy color, thick soup and tender meat, fat but not greasy, and fragrant taste. He Fan couldn't hold back his mouth after taking a bite, and he picked up a few more pieces and put them in his mouth.
He Fan usually doesn't like eating this kind of fatty meat very much. Sometimes he only eats one or two pieces if he is greedy. But today, the meat was so well cooked that he couldn't put it down.
And just now I heard the cheongsam beauty next to me say that these dishes are cooked by the owner of the restaurant himself.
Thinking of this, He Fan immediately gave the boss a thumbs up: "Boss, your skills are amazing."
It's not He Fan's boast. During this period of time, he has been nourishing his stomach. He is a little tired of the usual five-star hotel dishes.
This small restaurant gave him a surprise today. He didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious food here. He was really a master among the people. He Fan felt a lot in his heart.
He suddenly thought of Luo Bao. He stayed in Jinling just for those few bites of food, but he didn't know that he missed out on these delicacies. He probably jumped up and down when she found out.
"Haha, just kidding, I only know these few dishes, they are all passed down from my ancestors!"
The restaurant owner was not surprised by He Fan's praise. After all, every diner who had tasted his craftsmanship gave him a thumbs up and praised him, and many wealthy businessmen invited him to be a chef.
Regarding what the restaurant owner said, He Fan just regarded it as being humble and laughed it off.
There are important things to do next, and He Fan doesn't have time to talk nonsense with his boss.
The important thing is of course to taste the food in front of him, but he still has two dishes that he has not tasted.
The appearance of the straw buns and Sixi meatballs on the plate will whet your appetite at a glance, and He Fan is no exception.
Picking up a straw bun and looking at the bun in front of him, He Fan thought of Xiaolongbao, a snack in Shaxian County.
In the old days when there was no system, He Fan was a frequent visitor to the Shaxian Hotel. Every time he went there, he would definitely order a basket of steamed buns and flat food.
Opening your mouth and taking a bite, you immediately felt the texture was soft, fragrant but not greasy, and a different kind of fragrance flowed into your mouth along with the soup.
It seems that this is the lotus leaf fragrance introduced by the boss just now.
Just now, the boss said that the steamed buns are stuffed with lotus leaves at the bottom, so the fragrance of lotus leaves will be mixed in when you eat them.
After tasting the buns, He Fan added another Sixi meatballs. This was actually a lion head, but the name was a bit nicer.
Picking one up and putting it in his mouth, He Fan immediately narrowed his eyes. Originally, He Fan often ate lion heads, but he still felt that the taste in front of him made him want to stop.
The flavor is fresh and fragrant, the meat is smooth and tender, and delicious cannot be used to describe the Sixi meatballs in front of you.
After tasting the seven dishes in front of him, He Fan suddenly felt that the restaurant owner's cooking skills were the best he had ever seen, bar none.
Although the boss said that he can only cook these seven dishes, these seven dishes alone are enough for him to be called a chef. He Fan believes that if the restaurant owner applies for a chef in a five-star hotel, many hotels will definitely compete for him.
, after all, any one of these seven dishes can be listed as a signature dish.
He Fan also carefully observed the diners dining next to him. Although the other tables all had the same seven-course meal, it was obvious that the dishes on the other diners' tables were not cooked by the restaurant owner in front of him, but by someone else. After all, the restaurant owner
I'm still standing in front of him now.
He Fan was also a little curious as to why the restaurant owner cooked the food himself.
And seeing that the restaurant owner was still standing nearby, He Fan felt that he must have something to do, otherwise he wouldn't have to cook in person and wait on the side.
Thinking of this, He Fan raised his head and looked at the restaurant owner: "Boss, do you have anything else to do?"
"hey-hey!"
Upon hearing He Fan's question, the restaurant owner immediately rubbed his hands, pulled up a chair next to him and sat down.
He Fan looked at this scene and immediately knew that his guess was correct. There was indeed something wrong with this boss, but he just didn't know what it was.
He Fan was a little confused. After all, it was his first time to come to Quancheng, and he was a stranger to the boss in front of him. He didn't know what the boss wanted to see him for.
The restaurant owner quickly solved He Fan's doubts.
As soon as the restaurant owner sat down, he stared at He Fan's wrist and laughed.
No!
To be precise, he was staring at the string of dzi beads on He Fan's wrist, which was the string of cinnabar nine-eyed dzi beads that He Fan got from the last charity auction in Shanghai.
The restaurant owner rubbed his hands and stared at He Fan with bright eyes: "Brother, how old are you? Do you mind if I call you that?"
He Fan responded to the restaurant owner's words: "It's okay, brother, just tell me if you have any questions!"
"Since you said that, brother, I won't hide it from you anymore."
The restaurant owner pointed to the dzi bead on He Fan's wrist and said, "This is the big cinnabar nine-eyed dzi bead!"
"My brother has great eyesight!"
He Fan's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, the restaurant owner recognized the dzi bead on his wrist at a glance.
The restaurant owner chuckled and said, "I'm obsessed with this little thing."
Now He Fan also knew why the restaurant owner came to him: "Brother, are you looking for me for this string of Dzi beads?"
"Um!"
The restaurant owner nodded, stared at the Dzi beads with fiery eyes and said, "Brother, are you planning to sell this string of Dzi beads?"
"There are no plans for this at the moment."
Hearing the restaurant owner's words, He Fan immediately shook his head.
After all, he had finally won the bid for this Dzi Bead, and he was not short of money. Once the Dzi Bead passed through his hands, he had no intention of spreading it around.
Seeing He Fan shaking his head and refusing, the restaurant owner suddenly felt a little disappointed.
However, he still said unwillingly: "Brother, how much do you want for these beads? I will give you half the price."
After saying this, the restaurant owner stared directly at He Fan. He knew that if he didn't really like this string of dzi beads, he would never refuse the price he offered.
Hearing what the restaurant owner said, He Fan was surprised for a moment. After all, this string of dzi beads was not cheap. He had bid for it with 70 million.
If according to what the restaurant owner said, he would have to spend 150 million to buy this string of dzi beads.
This more than one hundred million is not a small amount. I didn't expect that the restaurant owner in front of me would be so rich.
However, no matter how much the restaurant owner offered, He Fan still had no intention of selling this string of dzi beads. After all, money was really not important to him now.
He Fan still shook his head: "Brother, I really don't plan to take action. I like this bead very much. Now I'm used to wearing it. If it's gone, I won't be able to sleep well."
Hearing that He Fan still refused and didn't care at all about the price he offered, the restaurant owner knew that He Fan really didn't intend to sell the string of dzi beads.
Thinking of this, the restaurant owner suddenly shook his head in frustration. He originally thought that he would be able to add one more item to his collection today, but unfortunately he met an owner who was not short of money.
"I was the one who was abrupt!"
The restaurant owner said something apologetically to He Fan.
After all, he had finally won the bid for this Dzi Bead, and he was not short of money. Once the Dzi Bead passed through his hands, he had no intention of spreading it around.
