Boss Luo had never been the center of attention like this before, and he was a little proud. "Have you ever seen the sea?"
Some people have seen it, some people haven't.
"What does Boss Luo mean?"
"This wine is called 'Ocean'. If you have a chance to go to the sea, you will know the origin of the name of this wine." Boss Luo sighed. He has seen the sea, and the blue and mysterious sea is just like this wine.
Everyone knew that he was in the maritime business, and when they heard him say that, some people thought he was showing off on purpose. If it were in the past, they would have immediately mocked him and walked away, but now... they were still waiting for the banquet and drinks, so they let him be proud for a while.
Some people have seen the sea, and after hearing what he said, they felt that the name of this wine was indeed correct.
"Come, let's drink this together." Boss Luo raised his glass and said.
Everyone picked up their glasses and drank the wine in them, feeling refreshed and sweet.
At this time, the maid of the Luo family began to serve wine, but she did not pour wine into everyone's glasses, but brought a new glass of wine.
This glass of wine is emerald green, transparent and clear.
"The name of this wine is 'Yaochi'." Boss Luo introduced with a smile.
Another new wine? Everyone was surprised.
Boss Du seemed to not believe it and took a sip of the wine in the glass. The taste was completely different from before. This wine was sweeter, just like the jade dew from the fairyland, with a refreshing honey fragrance and a pleasant aftertaste.
Others also tasted the wine. Some liked it immediately, while others felt that the "Ocean" just now had more charm.
"Brother Luo, do you have any other wine? Why don't you bring it over so we can drink to our heart's content." Boss Du couldn't help but say.
After hearing this, everyone immediately agreed.
"Of course there is." said Boss Luo.
There really is. "Boss Luo, how many new wines do you have?" someone asked in surprise, all of them incredulous. These two new wines are already amazing enough, but there are more? When did it become so easy to make good wine
"We only prepared five kinds today." Boss Luo said casually, as if this was very normal.
Everyone was surprised. Five kinds? And from what he said, it seemed that there were more than five kinds of new wine!
Everyone looked at each other, speechless. They were outdone, all of them, just because of these new wines, they were not as good as Boss Luo.
Mr. Bai, Mr. Li, and Mr. Qin were all a little confused. They didn't believe that Boss Luo, who sold tofu in some unknown place ten years ago, could come up with so many good wines at once. Unless, the wine came from overseas.
But it doesn't look like that. They have also drunk wine from overseas, which burns their throats and has no taste. It's not as delicious as this wine at all.
They were sure that this wine was the native wine of the Xia Dynasty, with its lingering and fragrant flavor.
Why was that? They were puzzled and looked depressed.
Seeing them like this, Boss Luo's mouth corners almost curled up to the sky. Finally, he made them suffer a loss.
At this time, the dishes had been served, and he said, "How can there be wine without dishes? Let's try the dishes and see if they suit your taste." When he said the latter sentence, he was looking at Mr. Bai, obviously responding to his previous provocation.
Everyone looked at Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai looked towards the table with a forced smile.
This table of dishes is also based on the lotus theme, which is in line with the dim sum just now. This is very rare. You know, a chef can only have a few specialties. Once the theme or ingredients are limited, there will be fewer specialties that can be served on the table. Sometimes, you can only make a few dishes by patching together things to make up the number.
It is called a lotus banquet, but it is not.
But what about the food on the table in front of me
There are a total of eighteen dishes, including cold dishes, hot dishes and soups, all of which are related to lotus and extremely exquisite.
What does this mean? It means that the chef's skills are far more than what is shown on this table of dishes.
Look closely at those dishes, lotus pod fish buns, a superb delicacy recorded in "Shan Jia Qing Gong".
Lotus pod and mandarin fish lion head, in a fine porcelain soup bowl, there is clear soup, in the soup, a small green lotus pod and a white meatball as big as a baby's fist rolling in it, it looks very tempting.
The crystal clear shrimps and the refreshing lotus seeds complement each other.
Lotus buns are made by wrapping the filling with lotus petals and then arranging them into the shape of a lotus flower, just like a lotus bud about to bloom.
…
In June, the lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the table was filled with lotus dishes, which was very suitable for the occasion. Because the dishes were cooked delicately and realistically, and the fragrance of lotus wafted in the air, everyone seemed to see the table full of lotus flowers in full bloom, and with the cups of emerald green Yaochi wine, it didn't seem like they were in the human world.
Boss Luo was also stunned for a moment. Although he already knew that Jiang Yunzhu would prepare a banquet with lotus as the theme, he really didn't expect that she could do it to this extent.
"Everyone, try it." he said.
Some people couldn't bear to eat the dishes, but when someone else started eating them, the rest of the people all stretched out their chopsticks, fearing that the dishes would be eaten up by others.
Lotus pod fish buns, the perfect combination of the flavors of fish and lotus pods, are truly a delicacy that Lin Hongdu praises so much.
The lotus pod and mandarin fish lion head are made of the same fish meat and lotus pod, but with a different flavor, smooth and delicious.
The shrimps are chewy and full of flavor. When eaten with lotus seeds, they have an unexpected taste.
Lotus buns, it turns out that the lotus petals are filled with fish roe. The golden fish roe has no fishy smell and is soft, glutinous and delicious.
…
No one was talking at the dinner table; everyone was enjoying the food.
After a while, another kind of wine was served. This time the wine was bright red in color and was called Hongzhuang. It matched perfectly with the lotus banquet.
Then there is ice peach and amber.
Amber is a kind of honey-colored wine. After drinking it, everyone feels full and satisfied, and they feel really intoxicated.
At this time, the dishes on the table had basically been eaten up, and there was no need to say much about how good the dishes were.
"Good wine and good food." Mr. Bai said with satisfaction, and this time his praise was sincere.
Everyone was amazed.
Then, the question came, "I wonder which chef made such a delicious dish." Mr. Bai asked, his eyes twinkling. What future does such a chef have in the Luo family? If he comes to his house, he will be satisfied with the conditions he offers.
Mr. Bai asked everyone what they thought, and everyone looked at Boss Luo.
Boss Luo discussed this matter with Jiang Yunzhu and asked her if she wanted to come out and meet everyone.
Of course Jiang Yunzhu didn't want to do that. She just wanted to stay behind the scenes.
So, Boss Luo smiled, looking mysterious. The people present were all businessmen, and he knew their personalities too well. If you told him directly, he might still doubt it, but if you whetted his appetite and then spread the news, letting him think that he had heard it himself, then the result would be completely different.
Sure enough, the less he said, the more anxious everyone became, and they began to plan how to find out the identity of the chef.
This also casts a layer of mystery over Jiang Yunzhu.
Everyone was talking in low voices, but one of them had a strange look on his face. It was Jing Chengyan. As soon as he ate it, he could tell that this dish was made by the chef of the Shiguang Restaurant.
These days, he went to the Shiguang Restaurant to eat every day. Of course, he knew the rules of the restaurant. Every day at noon and in the evening, it received twelve tables of guests each, and the dishes of each day were decided by the chef himself.
There weren't many customers in the restaurant these days, so there was always a seat every time he went there.
But now... Jing Chengyan was panicking. Boss Luo couldn't keep the chef's identity a secret. It wouldn't be long before everyone knew that the chef was from the Shiguang Private Restaurant. By then, the restaurant would be packed. How could he still get a seat
Suddenly, he remembered the invitation Jin Jiaoyue had given him. She had said that as long as he took the invitation to the restaurant, the owner would open a bed to welcome him. He didn't know what she meant then, but now he understood.
This invitation is the pass to enter the Time Restaurant!
Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly.
"What are you doing?" Master Lian glared at his son in anger and scolded him in a low voice. His son was ignorant and unskilled, which really made him worry.
Jing Chengyan, however, did not care about much. He used the excuse of going to the toilet and hurriedly ran out of Luo's house. He called his servants and asked them to go to the homes of the wealthy businessmen and get the invitation card no matter if they had to pay with silver or anything else.
Jin Jiaoyue sent out the invitations six days ago. Some of the invitations were thrown away, some were put somewhere by the gatekeepers, and some were found in the pile of miscellaneous items of the rich merchant's home.
Jing Chengyan personally went to ask where the thrown invitation was thrown and told him that there was a reward of ten taels of silver.
Give it to the servant wherever he left it, and give him twenty pieces of silver.
Among the rich man’s sundries, fifty taels of silver, no, one hundred taels.
…
As the sky gradually darkened, Jing Chengyan actually received more than a dozen invitations. He held the invitations and laughed excitedly.
Here, the banquet was over and Mr. Bai and others left.
After they boarded their respective carriages, someone immediately whispered to them that it turned out that the chef of the Shiguang Private Restaurant was the one who was preparing the banquet and mixing cocktails at Boss Luo's house today.
No one knew the chef's name. All they knew was that the restaurant had opened six days ago. At that time, invitations were sent to all the masters, saying that whoever came with the invitation would be welcomed by the restaurant owner.
"Shiguang Private Restaurant?" They seemed to have some impression of it. The invitation also came with a menu, which included dishes such as "Yang Fang Cang Fish, Song Sao Fish Soup, Shili Ginkgo, Taibai Duck, Yue Chicken in Clear Soup, Luoyang Bird's Nest..." At that time, they did not believe that anyone could make these dishes and thought that person was just trying to attract attention.
Now, "Go home quickly and show me the invitation." The same urgent call was heard from different carriages.
At this time, Boss Luo brought a young man to the backyard to meet Jiang Yunzhu.
The young man was his son. Boss Luo had seen Jiang Yunzhu's cooking skills today, and he also anticipated how priceless a meal at the Shiguang Restaurant would be in the future. He wanted to keep Jiang Yunzhu, but after thinking about it, he felt that ordinary conditions would not be enough. Suddenly, he thought, it would be great if Jiang Yunzhu could like his son, and everyone would be happy.
Jiang Yunzhu and others were packing up and preparing to return to the restaurant.
Boss Luo was handing over some things to her and mentioned his son intentionally or unintentionally, and his meaning was obvious.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
