"Haha, I've been waiting for your call."
After the call was connected, Tang Shanshan heard He Chengqing's voice coming from the other end. The soft voice made Tang Shanshan feel sick. She asked coldly, "What should I do to make my brother rejoin Food King Enterprise?"
"You know the answer to this question. I want you to tell me everything you saw around Ye Chui." He Chengqing said to Tang Shanshan with a smile, "In fact, what I want to know most now is the secret recipe of Shen Jiao."
"I... If I find the secret recipe of Shen Jiao for you, will you let your brother return to Shihuang Enterprise?" Tang Shanshan continued to ask coldly.
"Oh, dear, that's not enough." He Chengqing's voice was a little teasing, "I want to see Ye Chui completely defeated and leave Chinatown in disgrace. That day I will let your brother return to Food King Enterprise. Before that, you must tell me everything that happened to Ye Chui... Of course, now, I want to know what the perfect recipe of Shen Jiao is!"
"I... I will do as you say and get the recipe of Shen Jiao back..." Tang Shanshan said carefully. She was careful in her heart. She deliberately told He Chengqing a wrong recipe. He Chengqing should not be able to find it...
However, He Chengqing was obviously not so easily fooled.
"No, I want you to go to Ye Chui right now, and keep your phone on. I want to hear your conversation with them with my own ears!"
"Ah!?" Tang Shanshan was startled.
"What's wrong? You don't want to?" He Chengqing's voice turned cold.
"No... the phone bill will be very expensive if it is kept on..." He Chengqing said with some heartache.
He Chengqing: “…”
She could tell that Tang Shanshan was sincere in what she said. She really felt bad about the phone bill...
"I will compensate you for this money!" He Chengqing said in a serious voice, "Now, you should leave for Chen's Hotel!"
"All right… "
Tang Shanshan put her cell phone in her pocket, went into the bathroom to wash her face, then patted her face hard to make herself look calmer. Then she went out and came to Chen's Hotel.
It was already approaching evening.
Ye Chui and Han Yuyan have already bought all the ingredients for making Laobian dumplings, and they are busy in the kitchen.
The reason why Laobian dumplings have been able to remain famous for hundreds of years is because of their unique secret recipe. The secret recipe is actually not difficult. The most important point is: stir-frying the filling.
The dumpling filling must be stir-fried before being wrapped into the bun skin.
For ordinary dumplings, the meat in the dumpling filling is raw. The dumplings made in this way are also very delicious, but they are less fragrant, smooth and soft than dumplings made with stir-fried fillings.
However, even though the recipe of Laobian dumplings is not difficult, it is impossible for ordinary people to figure out the secret recipe just by eating the dumpling filling. No matter how capable Ye Chu is, he cannot know this kind of dumplings in detail. The main reason why Ye Chu knows how this kind of dumplings is made is that in another world, the successor of Laobian dumplings made the secret recipe of Laobian dumplings public in the 1980s, which made the mysterious truth of Laobian dumplings come to light.
Of course, knowing how Laobian dumplings are made, but being able to actually make them are two different things.
Even if they are ordinary dumplings, some can be very delicious while others can taste much worse.
However, these are not things that Ye Chui needs to worry about. As the God of Food in his previous life, as long as he knows the recipe, the taste of his dumplings will definitely be top-notch.
In the kitchen, Ye Chui was carefully cutting the newly bought pork into minced meat.
Han Yuyan was also cleaning a head of cabbage - the combination of pork and cabbage is the best choice for dumpling filling.
Shenjiao is actually dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage.
Seeing Tang Shanshan walk into the kitchen, Han Yuyan immediately greeted her with a smile: "Shanshan, you are here, come and help quickly. We will continue to eat Shen Jiao all-you-can-eat tonight, and this is the perfect version of Shen Jiao, which is even more delicious than the ones sold in Shen Jiao Restaurant."
"Oh." Tang Shanshan was a little uninterested. She was thinking about the phone in her pocket and didn't know how to fool He Chengqing.
"Shanshan, did something happen to you?"
Ye Chui, who was chopping stuffing, noticed that Shanshan had a strange expression on her face, so he stopped what he was doing and asked with some concern. In fact, he had noticed that there was something wrong with Tang Shanshan a few days ago.
"Ah? I'm fine, I'm fine." Tang Shanshan waved her hands quickly and said - this action was obviously telling Ye Chu, I have something, a big thing...
Ye Chui frowned, feeling more and more strange.
Tang Shanshan looked at the pork filling on the chopping board in front of Ye Chui again. She gritted her teeth, finally made up her mind, and asked carefully: "Boss... Can you tell me what the secret recipe of Shen Jiao is?"
"The secret recipe of Shen Jiao..." Ye Chui smiled and had no intention of hiding anything from Tang Shanshan.
"This secret recipe must be very valuable, right? Boss, I completely understand that you don't want to tell it..." Tang Shanshan saw Ye Chui pause and said hurriedly.
"Nothing, you are not an outsider." Ye Chui continued with a smile, "In fact, the secret recipe of Shen Jiao is..."
"Boss, you really don't have to force yourself with such an important secret recipe..." Tang Shanshan continued to interrupt Ye Chui.
In a luxury car parked not far from Chen's Hotel on Chinatown Street, He Chengqing's face had completely turned black as he listened to the conversation on the phone.
This girl must have done this on purpose!
Did she think she could get away with it this way
If anyone ruined her good fortune, she would make sure that Tang Laichi would never find a job again!
However, Ye Chui's innocence gave He Chengqing a surprise—
On the phone, Ye Chui said in a strange tone: "Shanshan, what's wrong with you? I didn't force it. In fact, the secret recipe of Shen Jiao is very simple. Just stir-fry the pork filling first. This step is the most important. This is how Shen Jiao does it now. However, Shen Jiao's dumpling filling is still missing a little step, which makes it not perfect. That is, the stir-fried pork filling needs to be soaked in pork bone soup or chicken soup to soften the hardened meat filling. This kind of dumpling filling is the most delicious."
Inside the luxury car, He Chengqing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Ye Chui's words.
"So the secret recipe of Shen Jiao is to stir-fry the dumpling filling first? Shen Jiao is made this way now, and the so-called flaw of Ye Chui is that after stir-frying, the pork filling needs to be soaked in pork bone soup to soften it?"
He Chengqing smiled grimly.
"This Ye Chui is too naive. He actually told such important information to a person he has only known for a week. The value of this secret recipe is immeasurable. He is so naive. I didn't expect that I would lose to him in China... Humph, I won't lose again this time!"
"Shen Zhongda, the owner of Shen Jiao, has always been a unique person among the seven major restaurants in Chinatown. He rarely participates in gatherings of his colleagues in the Chinatown food industry. The most important thing to him now is the perfect recipe of Shen Jiao. If the recipe of Shen Jiao is given to him before Ye Chui, he will never agree to Ye Chui's request to recognize Shen Jiao as a Chinese delicacy!"
"I will contact Huang Yiyuan now. As long as Huang Yiyuan gives the perfect Shen dumplings to Shen Zhongda as soon as he arrives here tomorrow, there will be no chance for Ye Chui to succeed!"
Thinking of this, He Chengqing immediately took out his mobile phone and started contacting Huang Yiyuan.
…
Inside the Chen Family Inn, Tang Shanshan was so surprised when she heard Ye Chu tell the secret recipe of Shen Jiao in such detail, and her eyes became moist.
After spending these days together, she understood what Ye Chui was doing in Chinatown, and she also knew how important it was to Ye Chui, but now... because of herself, what Ye Chui was going to do was about to fail.
Although Ye Chui and his group were people that he had just met, they treated him as a friend and as one of their own. They were willing to tell him the important recipe of Shen Jiao without hesitation...
How can I be worthy of their trust by doing such a thing
Han Yuyan, who was washing the cabbage, suddenly noticed that Tang Shanshan's eyes were wet. The sister was stunned: "Shanshan, are you crying because of greed?"
"No... I... The smell in the kitchen is a bit unpleasant..."
Tang Shanshan made up an excuse, wiped her eyes vigorously, then turned around and ran out of the kitchen without saying anything.
Han Yuyan looked at Tang Shanshan's leaving figure, was stunned for a moment, and said faintly: "Shanshan is a little bit wrong."
"Yeah." Ye Cui nodded thoughtfully.
"She must have had a very hard life since she was a child. She is a foodie just like Weiwei. When she knew she was about to eat the perfect version of Shen Jiao, she was so moved that she shed tears." Han Yuyan continued to analyze, "She and Weiwei must be able to get along very well."
Ye Chui: “…”
"Huh? Wasn't what I said right?" Seeing Ye Chui's frown, Han Yuyan couldn't help but feel strange.
"Obviously not right..." Ye Chui said with some sweat on his face. He glanced outside the kitchen and continued, "I think Shanshan was colluded with by someone. Someone asked her to get our secret recipe... Normally, if I told her the recipe, she would definitely not refuse. This girl probably doesn't understand how important the recipe is. Now it's clear that something is fishy."
Han Yuyan was shocked: "If that's the case... then didn't you tell her the secret recipe just now, Master?"
"hehe."
Ye Chui smiled calmly: "The recipe I just mentioned is only part of it. Strictly speaking, it is only the recipe of Shen dumplings. The dumplings made from it are at most slightly tastier than the current Shen dumplings, but not the real Laobian dumplings. In fact, the real strength of Laobian dumplings lies in the dumpling skin of this kind of dumplings..." (~^~)
