The Almighty Taoist of the Beautiful President

Chapter 187 Family Dinner
Jiangning East Lake Bieyuan, Shen Mengxun's villa.

At dawn, there are people coming and going here, very lively.

Cai Jinfo, a master of Cantonese cuisine specially invited from the "Yushanfang" Hotel, stood there with a big belly, directing his chef team to prepare ingredients and carry special kitchen utensils.

In addition to the national super chef team of "Yushanfang", there is also the "Xinxiangyuan" banquet planning team specially invited by Shen Mengxun.

Yushanfang is the first restaurant of Cantonese cuisine in Jiangning, and it is well known to all the gourmets from the north and the south.And Xinxiang Garden has been responsible for receiving distinguished guests from home and abroad many times, and has the best banquet planning team in Jiangning.

Now Shen Mengxun brought these two top teams together for today's grand family dinner.

The family banquet invited an outsider, that man named Li Changan.

But this banquet was personally arranged by the old man of the Shen family. It happened that Li Changan made a strange call to Shen Mengxun in the early morning, saying that he was going to be a teacher at Senlan Girls' School, and Shen Mengxun said in a daze that he would invite him to come. Have a meal at home.

So the matter of the banquet was finalized like this.

Shen Mengxun personally arranged the restaurant. At this time, it was just dawn, and she came to see Cai Jinfo in a simple and elegant cheongsam.

"Master Cai, please take care, today's banquet is very important." Shen Mengxun said respectfully.

In the entire Pujiang Beach and Jiangning City, everyone knows the identity and craftsmanship of Master Cai, and respects this super chef from the bottom of their hearts.

But today, Shen Mengxun was particularly worried, so he said a few more words: "The guests invited today are not ordinary, and they are experts in gourmet food. Master Cai, you must show your skills, otherwise I am afraid he will be picky. get up."

Cai Jinfo smiled with his big belly, reassuring again and again that there would be no problem, but he felt a little bored in his heart.

He is currently taking care of his apprentices in Jiangning, and he will never go out in person when he is idle. Master Cai feels that in the entire Jiangning City, except for that old monster of the Yang family, there is no other chef who can compare with him. Why is Miss Shen a bit unconvinced today? What does he look like...

After Shen Mengxun finished explaining, she slowly walked back to the villa.

She checked again in the dining room, and then quickly walked outside the large study on the third floor of the villa.

After greeting Ji Yeyue who was standing guard at the door of the study, Shen Mengxun gently opened the door and entered.

In the large study room, an old man in military uniform is holding a copy of "The Collection of Emperor Wu of Wei" and reading it with gusto.

"Dad, you are still reading this book." Shen Mengxun said with a smile: "It's a pity that I don't have "Sun Tzu's Art of War" here, nor "Three Secrets and Six Strategies". You only have this book to read."

The old man in military uniform straightened his waist and looked hale and hearty. Hearing this, he smiled lightly: "This book is very good. People in the world only know that the famous art of war is "Sun Tzu's Art of War", but they don't know that this "Wei Wu Emperor Collection" is even better."

Touching the brand-new pages of the book, the old man said with emotion: "This book written by Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao not only describes the art of war, but also describes politics and life. The military and politics are originally one. They only talk about military affairs and not politics. That would be a little childish."

Shen Mengxun's head swelled when she heard it. She was really not interested in the art of war or politics, but she didn't want to interrupt her father's conversation, so she pretended to be listening seriously.

Seeing her appearance, the old man in military uniform couldn't help laughing: "Girl, don't pretend, you probably haven't read this book since you bought it, the pages inside are brand new."

Shen Mengxun also smiled: "Didn't I just buy it for you to see, it's rare for you to come to Jiangning once, and I, as a daughter, don't have the opportunity to be filial on weekdays."

This old man in military uniform is the old man of the Shen family.

At this time, the old man snorted: "Honor me as an old man, and you don't need to be around every day. For example, your eldest brother has been following me, so what? He is rough in his work, loose in his actions, and has a good temper. Today, he will go back to Beijing by himself. South, still unconvinced."

Shen Mengxun also knew a little bit of the inside story, probably because of Li Changan's relationship, the elder brother felt very aggrieved, and naturally didn't want to stay here any longer.

She wanted to say a few words for her elder brother, but the old man of the Shen family asked, "How are you getting ready? What time did you make the appointment with that Mr. Li?"

Shen Mengxun hurriedly said: "Everything is ready, the appointment is one o'clock in the afternoon, lunch time. The chef invited is also a super-class chef. I know that guy Li Changan is very picky about food, so he is very careful this time."

Mr. Shen nodded with satisfaction: "You must be careful, and let that Mr. Li feel your intentions and sincerity as soon as he comes in. Only in this way can the misunderstanding between Mr. Li and our Shen family be completely eliminated. , As for the further relationship, it has to be done slowly and slowly."

Shen Mengxun wanted to ask the old man why he valued Li Chang'an so much, but he swallowed the words again, and just said with a smile: "Speaking of which, why don't you let Yeyue be the chef? Her skills are not inferior to that of Master Cai. Woolen cloth."

Mr. Shen smiled: "It's more than inferior, Yeyue's culinary skills are only higher than that of Master Cai. If it's bigger, it's a complete instant kill, because that's not a level of culinary skills at all."

Shen Mengxun became more and more curious: "Then I'll let Chef Yeyue forget about it."

"No!" Mr. Shen said in a deep voice: "At that time, only let Yeyue cook one dish, and one dish is enough. Put the dishes made by Yeyue into Master Cai's dishes. I believe that Li Chang'an will definitely be able to taste it." Come out with a different taste."

Shen Mengxun was confused: "Dad, why are you making such trouble?"

The old man of the Shen family smiled mysteriously: "Meng'er, let me ask you, what is the most precious thing in this world?"

Shen Mengxun thought for a long time, and suddenly understood something: "I know, the most precious things you can't ask for, and Yeyue's cooking skills are more valuable if Li Changan can't ask for them."

The old man of the Shen family shook his head slightly: "If you can't ask for it, you won't think about it after a long time, but it's not so precious. What's really unforgettable is 'asking for but not enough'. You obviously want [-] points, but only give you two. Ten points, let you cherish those twenty points, that is the most attractive and precious feeling."

Shen Mengxun was completely convinced this time: "Old man, you are really amazing. One of Yeyue's dishes is placed in the middle of Master Cai's dishes. You really want to use Master Cai's dishes to set off Yeyue's craftsmanship."

Let Ji Yeyue only cook one dish at a time, Li Changan must be "demanding but not enough", and naturally it will be unforgettable, just like scratching an itch, only scratching seven points, leaving three points to lure you, this is the real intention of the old man.

At this time, Mr. Shen said: "Go out and continue preparing, let Yeyue come in, I have to explain something to her in advance..."
