Academician of a Great Power: Reborn as an Educated Youth in 1977

Chapter 197 Palace Chef

"Our ancestors were royal chefs in the palace!"

Liu San continued: "It's not so good in my generation. My grandfather's cooking skills are good. He opened a small restaurant before, but then he stopped doing it as he got older."

"It specializes in banquets. If anyone wants to hold a banquet, it's right to ask my grandfather. My grandfather also has several apprentices, all of whom are good masters. Originally, my grandfather was going to teach me this ancestral secret book."

"Oh, it would have been nice if I hadn't started the business of selling tickets in the early years. Once I did, there was no turning back! If I look at those recipes again, no matter how hard I look at them, I can't get enough of them!"

It was actually a banquet!

Right in the middle!

Lin Ze thought for a while and said, "Then take me to see your grandpa. It happens to be still early. I will discuss the wage issue with your grandpa."

"Including what kind of dishes to make that day."

If Liu San's grandfather was really good at cooking, then he wouldn't need to take action and it would save him a lot of trouble.

After all, we are building a house, and we must treat everyone to a good meal on the day it is completed.

It doesn't make sense not to have a big banquet. When he and Wang Tingting hold their wedding, it will be more sumptuous and grand.

Liu San took Lin Ze all the way east for more than half an hour and arrived at his grandfather's house.

Most of them were alleys. Liu San knocked on the door. The green outer door was pushed open, and a simple-looking old man stood in the room.

Seeing Liu San, he sneered and said: "You kid, don't come here all the time. I'm embarrassed by the shabby business you do! When the neighbors ask what you do, I'm embarrassed to tell you!"

"You don't want to learn the recipes handed down from your ancestors, but you insist on learning those miscellaneous ones. What's the matter? You brought your friends here today?"

Liu San was a little embarrassed, "Grandpa, this is not a cuckold friend. He came here to have a banquet with you."

"real or fake?"

The old man didn't quite believe it.

Liu San repeatedly assured: "Grandpa, it's true. Why don't you believe me? Don't let people stand outside. Let's go inside and talk."

The old man opposite was stunned for a moment, then changed his face in a second, quickly smiled, and invited Lin Ze to talk inside.

"Ouch, I'm so sorry, come in and talk! I was a little bit aggressive just now, saying you were a bitch. It wasn't directed at you, but at my grandson. He was so unsatisfactory."

Lin Ze nodded, expressing understanding.

Then he sat on the sofa opposite and chatted with the old man.

Liu San told the old man beside him all the purpose of Lin Ze's visit. The old man entered the back room with a solemn expression, took a recipe book and put it in front of Lin Ze.

"You choose. The dishes you choose will be the amount of dishes we want to order. But we have to agree on these in advance. Customized dishes are very expensive. I don't know if you can afford it."

Lin Ze smiled slightly, "As for the price, you don't have to worry about it. I can afford it. What matters is the food and the finished product. What I want is quality and grandeur."

"If the result of ordering food this time is good, the next time I hold a wedding banquet, I will also come to your place to hold it."

The old man's eyes changed when he looked at Lin Ze. This was the first time he met someone who held such a big banquet but didn't care about spending money.

"I wonder why you want to hold a big banquet?"

Lin Ze told the old man the purpose of coming here!

"It turns out you're moving to a new house! Don't worry, I understand. Just pick out the dishes here and I'll calculate the total price."

Lin Ze read the menu once, and within a short time, he wrote down all the dishes he needed on the list.

The old man was stunned when he saw the menu written by Lin Ze, "Are you sure you want all of these? It will cost a lot of money!"

Lin Ze confirmed again and again, and then took two more dishes. The old man was sighing. This was the first time he saw such a wealthy person, and he admired Lin Ze even more!

"Okay, then I'll help you prepare all the dishes right away. I'll go and calculate the prices first, and I'll come back and tell you later."

The old man went back into the house and took out his calculator.

After the inventory was completed, he walked out of the back room. While Lin Ze was writing the recipe, Liu San stood beside him, his eyes widening as he watched.

"Brother Lin, do you want so many dishes?"

"Yes, I want to make a grand event when I move into my new house. If you're okay, come over that day too! Let's have a feast together!"

Liu San was very excited, "Brother Lin, you said this, so I'm not polite. If you can get a free meal, who wouldn't want to go?"

It happened that the old man came out of the house. When he heard this, he glared at Liu San.

"You just know how to eat and don't do anything good!"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Didn't I do a great thing today?"

"If I didn't bring Brother Lin here, there would be no way for you to get to know each other, and you wouldn't be able to get this big order."

This was the truth. The old man was so angry that he lost his temper and could only laugh.

"It would be great if you could be as worry-free as you are today every day."

The old man wrote the counted money, including the detailed amount, on the bill, let Lin Ze read it, and then said: "Our rule here is that you have to pay half of the deposit before cooking. The total is 535. I can give you a deposit." Zero, it’s 530.”

"Next time you come to order from us, we'll give you a [-]% discount."

Lin Ze shook his head, "It's what you pay for, and I won't lose you. As for discounts, you don't need them, but you must ensure that the dishes are of first-class quality, and you must not be fooled."

"If you do well, I will come next time. If you don't do well, I won't come next time."

The old man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, if they don't do well, they will fail me first. If you don't believe it, you can go outside and ask about my reputation."

"I don't mean what I say, my old face doesn't have room to show it!"

Lin Ze felt relieved after hearing the old man's words. In addition, he knew Liu San's character, and Liu San's grandfather must not be bad either.

"Then let's agree on a date. I'll give the money to Liu San tomorrow and ask him to bring it over."

"Row!"

After the two made an agreement, Lin Ze set off.

Arriving at the previous blacksmith shop, as soon as Lin Ze entered, the young man recognized Lin Ze first.

"You're here to pick up what you made last time, right? It's not ready yet. Come back in two days. My master has something to do and is out!"

Lin Ze didn't ask further questions and turned around to leave.

Not long after returning home, Vice Captain Zhao came to the door.

When he saw Lin Ze, he was the first to say: "Let's go, Comrade Lin. When I came over, Captain Lei repeatedly told me to take you over. If I don't take you over, the old man will definitely go crazy!"
