Guangdong people love to drink soup. It is said that it has a lot to do with the hot and humid climate in Guangdong, because this climate has greatly affected the appetite of Guangdong people.

Drinking some delicious soup before eating can increase people's appetite.

In Guangdong, there is a saying: "It is better to eat without vegetables than to eat without soup." This shows how much Guangdong people love soup.

However, people in other parts of China rarely have this custom of "drinking soup before meals". For example, in Jiangzhou, soup is most often the last course of a banquet.

It is precisely because of this that Duan Yiming was able to take such careful care of the eating habits of Guangdong people and ordered a "pre-dinner soup". He Zhengyu was quite touched.

"Mr. He, this is your Guangdong Laohuo soup - Laoya barley and winter melon soup. It is suitable for drinking in the current season of spring and summer. It can clear away heat and dampness, strengthen the spleen and stimulate the appetite.

Come on, let’s try it. How does it taste?”

Duan Yiming also saw the change in the expression on He Zhengyu's face, but he didn't say anything. After the waiter left, he greeted him with a smile.

“I’ve long heard that Guangyue’s Laohuo soup is delicious, good for dispelling dampness and stimulating the appetite. I never had the chance to try it, but today I’ve had a taste of it.”

Deng Linhui also said with a smile, picked up the spoon, scooped out a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and drank it carefully.

He Xiaowei hadn't eaten in the morning and was already hungry by now. When he smelled the aroma of the old fire soup, he became even more hungry.

At this moment, seeing Deng Linhui and Duan Yiming both moving, he was even more rude. After taking a few mouthfuls of the soup, he felt it was not enough, so he picked up the kuaizi and started chewing the old duck meat inside.

Looking at the clear and fragrant Laohuo soup in front of him, He Zhengyu's Adam's apple couldn't help but move up and down.

Because his health was not very good, he had been staying at his grandfather's house in the countryside of Jiangzhou for more than half a year to recuperate. He had not had Laohuo soup for a long time, and sometimes he even dreamed about it.

It's a pity that his own cooking skills are not good. He read many recipes and made soup several times, but he couldn't make the same taste every time.

The old fire soup in front of you has such a strong aroma. Could it be that the chef of this restaurant is a Cantonese?

With these thoughts in mind, He Zhengyu didn't hesitate, picked up the spoon, took a spoonful of soup, brought it to his mouth and took a careful sip.

This mouthful of soup entered his mouth, and He Zhengyu couldn't help but tremble. His mind was instantly empty, and there was only one word left in his whole brain:

fresh!

This Laohuo soup is so delicious!

It's not like he has never tasted Laoya barley and winter melon soup. This is just a soup that people in Guangdong often make. However, the soups he drank before were fresh, but not so fresh at all!

So much so that He Zhengyu began to suspect that there was chicken essence in this soup, right?

You know, when Cantonese people make soup, except for adding an appropriate amount of salt for seasoning, other seasonings, such as light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, MSG, etc., are not added.

When you drink soup, you drink the original flavor.

But soon, He Zhengyu denied his previous suspicions, this soup is so delicious!

Because he was too excited when drinking the soup, he accidentally scooped up a piece of old duck meat and put it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, his expression changed.

As we all know, Guangdong people generally drink soup without eating the residue. The reason for refusal is also very simple:

Poor taste.

Because after long-term cooking, the texture of the ingredients has changed dramatically. The meat has become woody, hard and tasteless, and the fruits and vegetables have become soft and scattered, making it really difficult to swallow.

The same goes for He Zhengyu.

Unless it is a soup such as ribs, he will pick up the ribs and eat them. For other soups, such as soups made with pork, chicken, duck and other ingredients, after drinking the soup, the soup residue will be thrown away.

But the piece of old duck meat he just tasted was not good at all, it was crispy and rotten, and the more he chewed it, the more delicious it became!

This, this, this, the umami in this soup is not chicken essence or MSG at all, but the umami of the old duck ingredients itself!

There was not much in the small cup of Laoya barley and winter melon soup. He Zhengyu drank up the soup in just a few spoons, and then even ate all the soup residue.

After finishing the cup of Laohuo soup, he still felt a little unsatisfied, and he seemed to be even hungrier!

This soup is indeed appetizing!

It's not just He Zhengyu who feels hungrier, but also He Xiaowei.

After the boy ate all the Laohuo soup, instead of feeling full, his stomach started to growl. He touched his stomach with his hand and said with a sad face:

"Why do I feel more hungry after eating than without eating? Old Duan, why don't you go get some food?"

"Why urge? Boss Xiao Jiang can still make you hungry?"

Before Duan Yiming could speak, Deng Linhui, who was sitting next to him, gave him a vague look.

This guy just has no eyesight. Today’s protagonist is He Zhengyu!

The two of us are just here to eat at the table. You can just sit here quietly and wait for your meal. What are you talking about?

"This Laohuo soup is indeed very authentic. The soup is delicious and fragrant. To be honest, I have never tasted such a delicious soup in Guangdong."

He Zhengyu took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth with a sigh on his face. He raised his head and looked at Duan Yiming and asked curiously,

"Mr. Duan, is the chef of this restaurant from Guangdong?"

"No, Boss Xiao Jiang is a native of Jiangzhou."

Duan Yiming shook his head and said with a smile, "As far as I know, he doesn't seem to have been to Guangyue."

"I have never been to Guangyue, but I can still make Guangyue's Laohuo soup so authentic and delicious? This boss Xiao Jiang is extraordinary!"

He Zhengyu was surprised. Although he didn't believe Duan Yiming's words, he thought there was no need for the other party to lie in this regard.

"It's really unusual."

Duan Yiming nodded and said with some emotion,

"Guangyue Kangmao Commercial Group, Mr. He should have heard of it, right?

As early as last year, Mr. Ma, the vice president of Kangmao Group, personally came to Jiangnan University from Guangdong and was willing to hire Boss Xiao Jiang with an annual salary of one million to serve as the chef of the cafeteria of Kangmao Group headquarters. However, Boss Xiao Jiang

I rejected it on the spot.”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kangmao Group is also a major customer of Duan Yiming Company.

When Mr. Ma came over to discuss cooperation, he was still a little hesitant. However, Duan Yiming and his team came to the second cafeteria of Jiang University. After eating the soup dumplings made by Jiang Yu, Mr. Ma happily followed Duan Yiming.

Ming signed a cooperation agreement.

When Mr. Ma wanted to hire Jiang Yu with a high salary, Duan Yiming personally brought him over.

"As long as you are from Guangdong, who doesn't know Kangmao Group?"

He Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, and then said with emotion,

“I really didn’t expect that there is such a skilled chef hiding in a university cafeteria!

It seems that I really have the blessing of Mr. Duan today, otherwise how could I have tasted such delicious Laohuo soup?"

Duan Yiming smiled and said nothing.

In his heart, he was secretly proud: How could this be the case? The dishes at the back are really delicious!

After chatting for a while, the waiter started serving the dishes again.

Steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce, Kirin seabass, crispy roasted pork, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, Hakka stuffed tofu, oyster sauce lettuce...

As dishes with Cantonese specialties were served on the table, the expressions on the faces of Deng Linhui and He Xiaowei did not change. After all, this was not their first time eating here, so how could they understand Jiang Yu’s abilities?

As long as it is made by Jiang Yu, any dish will be delicious!

Now who cares whether it’s Cantonese or Jiangzhou cuisine? Just close your eyes and stuff it into your mouth!

But He Zhengyu was different. He never thought that Duan Yiming's invitation to have a meal with him turned out to be such a "casual" method.

There is a table full of dishes, all of which are ordered based on your own taste!

In this paragraph, you really value yourself too much!

To be honest, if I were a more emotional person, I might have been moved by this moment and agreed to Mr. Duan's previous request.

Mr. Duan's salary and benefits are so good, and he values ​​himself so much. If I don't join his company, I feel like I can't pass the test!

It's a pity that He Zhengyu was moved, but he was not an emotional person.

Besides, he is already in his forties, so he cannot sell himself out just because he is moved. He has to be responsible for the rest of his life.

While I was thinking about this, Duan Yiming, who was sitting opposite me, smiled and greeted me again:

"Mr. He, I don't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered some. Come on, come on. You're welcome. Let's try it first."

"Okay, Mr. Duan is interested, thank you!"

He Zhengyu smiled at him. He had just drank a cup of soup to whet his appetite, and he was hungry. Naturally, he would not be polite. He picked up the short ribs on the table and picked up a piece of steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce.

Put it into his own small bowl.

Before I put it in my mouth, the meaty aroma of the ribs mixed with the aroma of black bean juice penetrated my nose hard, making people unable to help but swallow their saliva after smelling it.

And when the ribs entered the mouth, the aroma became even stronger. The ribs were steamed until they were crispy, and they fell off the bones with just one bite. The fragrant and tender rib meat was squeezed by the teeth, revealing the delicious taste.

The incomparable meat juice makes people almost swallow it with their tongues.

"This, this pork ribs with black bean sauce is so fragrant and delicious! I, I have to eat it faster, or else I will be snatched up by others!"

After eating a piece of pork ribs, He Zhengyu couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

This thought made him even startled!
