I am a Chef in the Modern Era

Chapter 56: Mutton dumplings

Views:

Xiao Liu finally confirmed one thing, Lin Shuyi's elder brother is hostile to him, the intensity of this hostility is directly related to the distance between him and Lin Shuyi, and if he is too close to Lin Shuyi that day If that is the case, the hostility level of that person will explode that day, and then he will start to attack him indiscriminately, causing heavy casualties.

For this result, Xiao Liu burst into tears, who the hell knew that this was a younger brother's accusation! !

So Lin Shuyi discovered belatedly: "Is that designer avoiding me recently?"

Shen Fu folded his hands on his chest, and the corners of his mouth turned up, "No way, it should be because I've been busy recently."

Lin Shuyi squinted at Shen Fu, always felt that he had something to do with him.

But Lin Shuyi didn't care too much, because what should be done was almost done, even if Xiao Liu deliberately avoided him, it didn't matter.

The things that Shen Fu was asked to buy were indeed brands with the best reputation, and the prices didn't necessarily have to be extremely expensive, they just had to be a good deal anyway.

On the day they bought it back, everything was installed, the kitchen was pretty much cleaned up, and there was nothing left to clean up, so Lin Shuyi called Shen Fu to buy decorations for the hall of the wing room.

There is a big home improvement market in the city. If you want to buy things like decoration, it is the most affordable.

Lin Shuyi planned to go there, but Shen Fu mysteriously said that he would not go there, he had a better place, the things inside were more beautiful, unique and cheap, Lin Shuyi was dubious, but in the end he followed up.

As usual, Shen Fu drives. Lin Shuyi has always been very interested in this, but he has never had the time to learn it. Shen Fu wants to teach him with confidence, but Lin Shuyi is really a good citizen who abides by the law. Before getting the driver's license, he was determined not to go on the road and not be a street killer. There is no open space near Chaoyang Street where Shen Fu can teach him how to drive, so this matter can only be let go.

Shen Fu still drove to the city, but it was not the big home improvement market, but an inconspicuous street, and there were not many shops in the street, it looked more like a residential area.

Lin Shuyi was full of doubts, before he could ask, Shen Fu's car had already parked, and he pointed to a nearby house with no storefront with a smile, "This is it, let's go in and have a look."

Lin Shuyi did mental work for a long time, after confirming that Shen Fu must not be playing tricks on him, he opened the car door and walked into the house.

Not only was there nothing special on the outside, but there was nothing special on the inside. There were only a few words on the wall, which looked pleasing to the eye, but they had nothing to do with what he wanted to buy.

An eight or nine-year-old child opened the door and came out, looked up at Lin Shuyi, "Big brother, what do you want?"

Lin Shuyi couldn't tell, although he knew what style of things he should buy, but now he couldn't put them on display, how could he tell what he wanted to buy, not to mention that it really didn't look like he could buy anything here place.

"Don't underestimate this place." Shen Fu closed the car door and came in at some point, standing behind Lin Shuyi, lowering his head slightly when talking, the heat was planted on Lin Shuyi's ears, and it was red again. Itching again, Lin Shuyi turned to stare at him bitterly.

Shen Fu continued to say indifferently, "Many good things have been produced here." Then he turned and looked at the child, "Cheng Zi, tell your grandpa that we are here."

The child named Chengzi saw that Shen Fu's eyes were round, and threw himself into Shen Fu's arms. Shen Fu stroked the child's head, and the child kissed and hugged him in his arms, "Uncle Shen hasn't come for a long time. , Grandpa is waiting for you up there."

The child dragged Shen Fu upstairs, and then Shen Fu pulled Lin Shuyi along, "What are you still doing in a daze, come up with me to have a look, everything you want to buy is on the second floor,"

"Is this brother your friend?" The child turned around and asked, looking at Shen Fu and looking at Lin Shuyi.

Shen Fu: ...

An older brother and an uncle, don't be too different in seniority...

Even though Shen Fu was thinking this way in his heart, he did not miss a bit when it was time to nod his head. Uncle should be uncle, although he is very old, but fortunately he has a tender face, Shen Fu thought shamelessly.

Then Lin Shuyi went upstairs with him, but he didn't know what to see. He was startled when he saw that the entire second floor was actually connected. It was not isolated like the first floor, but apart from a few pillars. There are no other architectural things, but there are no architectural things, but there are many tables, each of which has something unique and unique, some small items are placed on the table, and Some large items are placed directly on the ground, which at first glance looks like a messy small commodity market.

As soon as Cheng Zi went up, he started to shout, "Grandpa, Grandpa, Uncle Shen is here with guests."

There was a low-pitched shout from the corner, "I know it's a guest, but you haven't behaved properly!"

Cheng Zi stuck out her tongue and ran to the corner.

Shen Fu also followed to that side, but was stopped by Lin Shuyi.

Shen Fu turned his head to look at him, seeing Lin Shuyi's puzzled face, he explained, "If you want to get something special and unique, it's probably here." Then he touched it with a smile. The corners of Lin Shuyi's mouth were curved, "Don't be afraid, I won't sell you out, ah~"

Lin Shuyi: ...

"It's already here, what are you still whispering there, why don't you come here quickly."

Shen Fu pulled Lin Shuyi up, smiled and walked over there, "Here it is, what is the old man in a hurry for?"

An old man with white hair and beard is standing in the corner. Although he is not young, he still looks very energetic. He is full of energy, holding a writing brush, and he is flying around and writing inscriptions. .

Lin Shuyi thought that the calligraphy and paintings that he passed by below must have all been made by this grandfather.

The two came to the front, but the old man didn't raise his head to look at them.

It was not until the last stroke of the handwriting was finished that he put down the pen with his sleeves, raised his head to look at Lin Shuyi, and then cast his eyes on Shen Fu, "It's been a long time, I'm here today to ask What?"

Shen Fu hugged Lin Shuyi and pushed him a step forward, "It's not about what I want today, but what he needs."

"Oh?" The old man looked at Lin Shuyi carefully again, and then waved his hand, "Then choose by yourself."

Shen Fu smiled, "Old man, you continue to write, and I'll pay you after you've chosen."

Then he dragged Lin Shuyi to search in the huge hall.

The decoration of Xiqin Restaurant is extremely simple, the choice of decorations should not only bring out the best in each other, but also be the finishing touch. He never thought that a restaurant should be simple. On the contrary, he thinks that although the taste is very important, the environment is more important .

That's why Lin Shuyi wanted to take a different approach and turn Xiqin Restaurant into a private restaurant with its own characteristics.

So accessories are very important.

The things inside range from large to small, including simple gold and silver utensils, ceramic ornaments with strange patterns, and all kinds of weird and interesting little things. Lin Shuyi took a fancy to many things at a glance.

For example, the half-person-high vase with a few black plums on it, Lin Shuyi thought, if a handful of asparagus bamboo is inserted inside, it will look good at the entrance of the wing room on the second floor.

There is also the black-haired red-brown ceramic horse, which looks like it is neighing with its head up. It must be beautiful at the cash register on the first floor.

There are also those simple gold and silver cups, which can also play a finishing touch when placed in each wing room.

Lin Shuyi pointed as he walked, he was very pleasantly surprised, he just felt that Shen Fu really found a good place, everything here is perfect for Xiqin Restaurant.

Shen Fu followed behind with a smile, remembering what Lin Shuyi pointed out, and waited for someone to come get it later.

"Why is each one different?"

Except for a few pairs, each one is really different.

Shen Fu pointed to the old man in the corner with a smile, and smiled, "Because these porcelains are all made by the old man himself."

Now Lin Shuyi looked at the old man with admiration.

There are so many porcelains here, all made by the old man himself? And Shen Fu seemed to be very familiar with the old man.

"Have you chosen?"

The old man suddenly made a sound, Lin Shuyi looked at the things he had chosen and nodded, it was almost there, anyway, it doesn’t matter if there are more or less of these things, they are just for decorative purposes, but because the things here are too harmonious He chose a lot without knowing it.

Shen Fu looked at Lin Shuyi, Lin Shuyi nodded, and Shen Fu shouted to the old man, "The choice is made."

"Come here and give me the money after you've chosen." Cheng Zi narrowed his eyes and smiled, and finished the rest for grandpa.

Lin Shuyi and Shen Fu walked over together, the old man didn't even look at the things Lin Shuyi chose, he compared them casually.

Stretched out three fingers.

Shen Fu narrowed his eyes, smiled for a while, "Old man, you didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

Lin Shuyi didn't know how much money the old man's three fingers extended, seeing Shen Fu, Shen Fu didn't mean to say anything, so Lin Shuyi planned to ask by himself.

Unexpectedly, the old man glanced at him and said, "Inscribe the pictures on this fan for me, and I will give these things to you."

Lin Shuyi's eyes widened, not knowing why.

However, Shen Fu could see that the old man was deliberately making things difficult for Lin Shuyi, and then he thought that what Old Master Shen had told him before, could it be true, then he was really careless.

Lin Shuyi shook his head, "I don't dare to take it for free, the old man should take the money, how much?"

Shen Fu covered his face, and finally sighed, "Old man, let me answer this question."

The old man stared at Shen Fu and stopped talking.

Even though Lin Shuyi was dull, he could tell that the old man wanted to make things difficult for him. Although he didn't know why, but... still had an intuition that he couldn't get rid of Shen Fu! !

Inscription, Lin Shuyi looked at the writing brush in the old man's hand.

Shen Fu thought he was in trouble, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Shuyi behind him, and then said to the old man, "Old man, what my grandfather told me can't be true, but you can say that you made things difficult for him because of this." , I’m afraid it’s not appropriate.” Then he took out the card and ordered Cheng Zi to get the credit card machine, “The old man agreed on this price, but I can’t go back on my word.”

The old man and Lin Shuyi stared wide-eyed together, Lin Shuyi poked his head out from behind Shen Fu, "A lot of money, otherwise we don't want it."

It's not necessary, although he likes it, but seeing the old man making things difficult for Shen Fu, he feels weird, not to mention it seems that the old man and Shen Fu still know each other.

Shen Fu is not willing, it's not because he is reluctant to part with these things, at worst, he will find something else to buy, the point is that he brought Lin Shuyi here, but Lin Shuyi made things difficult for him, he is naturally unwilling.

The old man looked at the two of them expressionlessly, but didn't speak, Cheng Zi sat on the side, looking at Shen Fu also a little anxiously, obviously he didn't know why grandpa suddenly treated Uncle Shen like this.

Seeing that Shen Fu was about to swipe money, Lin Shuyi finally reached out from behind Shen Fu, pinched the thin pen in his hand, then raised his dark eyes to look at the old man, "Is the inscription just for free?"

The old man squinted his eyes halfway, not getting angry, "I'll give it away for free if I'm satisfied."

Lin Shuyi dipped the brush into some ink, and then brought over the fan. It painted several green hills and a bay of spring water. It was not a painting with artistic conception. It would be easy to ask for an inscription. I'm afraid he will be satisfied when the time comes. It's difficult, because it's intentional to make things difficult, so it doesn't matter what you are asking.

Lin Shuyi pursed his lips, thought for a while, then pressed the fan, and began to write.

The pen is like a dragon and a snake, sonorous and powerful, and done in one go.

Finally, the hook was retracted, the pen was put down, and the fan was handed over to the old man.

Lin Shuyi curled his lips into a chilly smile, and said, "Old man, take your time, I don't want anything, Shen Fu, let's go."

Shen Fu was far away, and Lin Shuyi's back was in the way, so he didn't know what Lin Shuyi wrote. Seeing him like this, he thought it was not well written, and immediately he couldn't even care about things, so he followed Shanglin Shuyi was going to comfort him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them took two steps, the old man laughed loudly from behind.

Then he said, "Take all the things you fancy just now, I don't want any of them."

Lin Shuyi still didn't look back, but Shen Fu was stunned, he really wanted to see what Lin Shuyi wrote! !

The old man seemed to have expected Lin Shuyi's temper, so he laughed even louder, "After all, it's my fault that Shen Fu still has to call me grandpa. I got into trouble with you, and I hope you don't mind."

Only then did Lin Shuyi stop, turned around to look at the old man, and bent down for the last time, "It's because I lost my manners."

The old man narrowed his eyes, he was calm and magnanimous, neither humble nor overbearing, he was a good young man.

"Then you should accept these gifts from grandpa, right?"

Lin Shuyi shook his head, "Thank you, Grandpa, but I can't take it."

The old man frowned, but in the end he stretched it out and smiled, "Okay, it's not for nothing, you should buy the head office." Then he looked at Shen Fu, "Don't bring the card yet, swipe it!"

It’s just that the old man only paid three hundred for all the things in the end, which is the same as giving away for free. You must know that what the old man asked Shen Fu at the beginning was a sky-high price, and if the value of those things was calculated according to the truth, it would be much lower than that day’s price. how much.

As for the fan Shen Fu was so curious about, he never saw it from the beginning to the end, so he could only ask Lin Shuyi what was written on it, "What exactly was written on your fan?" Satisfied the old man who came here to find fault, It is also quite powerful.

Lin Shuyi gave him a cold look, "Tell me about your relationship with that old man first?" Will the good old man make things difficult for him

Shen Fu's face was a little embarrassed, and then he began to explain it bit by bit.

"Actually, this person is my grandfather's close friend. He likes to mess with these antique porcelains. I think you should like them too, so I brought you here."

Lin Shuyi listened and looked at Shen Fu, beckoning him to continue.

"Actually, he also has a granddaughter, who is a few years younger than me. She is now in the United States. Some time ago, my grandfather told me that he wanted to introduce his granddaughter to me. I thought he was joking and didn't take it seriously..."

That's why Shen Fu was embarrassed by the current situation. He didn't take it seriously, but the old man took it seriously. Although the matter was resolved in the end, he still didn't do a good job in the end.

Lin Shuyi still pursed his lips and did not speak, at first Shen Fu thought Lin Shuyi was angry, but at last he took a second look, smiled, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Shuyi, and raised the corners of his eyebrows, "Are you jealous?"

Lin Shuyi glared at him, but frankly speaking, he was really a little unhappy when he heard Shen Fu say that.

I don't know where I am unhappy, but I am unhappy anyway.

Shen Fuxiao's eyes curled up, looking at Lin Shuyi's slightly pursed lips, wishing he could be pressed into his arms, but unfortunately there are cars and people in front of him now, if he really did this, Lin Shuyi might kill him he.

"By the way, should you tell me what you wrote on the fan now?"

Lin Shuyi narrowed his eyes, "Want to know? I won't tell you."

Shen Fu: ...

What about an exchange? What about the most basic trust between people? Why did he feel that he had picked up a treasure and at the same time felt that this person seemed to be getting darker and darker.

When the two of them were far away, Old Man Wen took out his fan to look at it again, and then started to make a phone call.

The phone rang twice before Mr. Shen picked it up, "Are you back?"

"No, guess who I met today?"

Mr. Shen went in without knowing, "Tell me who you met, otherwise how would I know?"

"Your granddaughter-in-law!"

Mr. Shen didn't realize it at first, but when he finally realized who grandson's daughter-in-law was referring to, he raised his voice several times, "Have you seen that child?"

Old Man Wen nodded, and then realized that Old Man Shen couldn't see it, so he snorted again.

"How is it? How is it? Looks energetic, I think this face looks good at first glance, he is a good boy."

On the other end of the phone, Old Man Wen snorted disdainfully. "I don't believe what those superstitions say, but the young man is pretty good. Do you know that fan that you don't know how to do? They did it too."

Mr. Shen opened his eyes wide, "What's the question, let me have a look."

Old Man Wen shook the fan and read the poem on it. "At that time, there was no water in the small pond, there might as well be a crouching dragon in the shallow place"

"This is telling us not to look down on him." Old Man Wen smiled, "He is neither humble nor overbearing, and he doesn't hold grudges even if he makes things difficult for him. He is a good young man."

Mr. Shen's eyes widened, "You made things difficult for him? Why did you make things difficult for him?"

Old Man Wen snorted coldly when he heard the words, "What's the matter, all of you are as distressed as babies?"

Mr. Shen was embarrassed, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Isn't this mainly because I feel sorry for Xiaofu?"

"Is it?"

Old Man Wen snorted again and stopped talking.

"By the way, you granddaughter-in-law, I just gave you a few million as a gift. You can figure it out when my granddaughter gets married."

Then I hung up the phone.

Mr. Shen: ...

Well, the focus of co-authorship is here.

After explaining everything that should be explained, the two of them went home together. The things bought from the old man will be delivered in a short time, and it will be fine to put them in when the time comes.

The two of them didn't go home, but went directly to Old Yangtou. Old Yangtou was playing cards with Grandma Xiaowan and Xiaowan. It was probably because of bad luck that he lost badly, so he posted a note on his head. , but he wasn't unhappy at all, and he smiled happily.

Standing outside, Lin Shuyi suddenly felt something was wrong, did Grandpa Yang and Grandma Xiaowan spend more and more time together recently

He had a strange intuition in his heart, thinking that it was about to come true, but if it came true, Lin Shuyi thought it would be pretty good.

Seeing the two of them coming, he asked if he had eaten, Shen Fu shook his head and said no, and Lao Yang brought out two bowls of mutton dumplings from the kitchen.

"It's cold now, eat some mutton, it'll be great."

The fresh mutton has no fishy smell, chopped green onions and ginger, seasoned with various seasonings, kneaded into the shape of small ingots, beautiful and delicious, served with refreshing old vinegar and chili oil, One bite at a time, the hot and sour appetizer is not fishy or greasy.

When the meal was over, those things also arrived.

Old Yangtou and Grandma Xiaowan all came to see them, and they were very surprised when they saw the things Lin Shuyi bought, "Xiaoyi, how much do you think these are?"

"Three hundred."

Old Yangtou and Grandma Xiaowan looked at each other, and felt that the price seemed inappropriate, but they didn't understand, so they couldn't tell how much it was worth, but Xiaowan stared at those things with wide eyes.

The last time she went to a classmate's house, she saw a vase that was very similar to one of the ones that Lin Shuyi brought back. It is said that someone gave it through the back door, and it cost hundreds of thousands. If these are true...

How much is that worth.

In the end, Xiaowan could only hypnotize herself. She bought it for three hundred yuan, so it couldn't be true...

But three hundred yuan, can you really buy so much? Xiao Wan unconsciously shifted her gaze to Shen Fu.

Why does she always feel that she has nothing to do with Brother Xiaofu

Shen Fu: ...

It's really okay to ask to let it go.
