Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

what?

Chen Xueru was stunned at first, but soon realized that Master Liu had misunderstood her meaning.

Although it was strange that she ate so much today, this fish was even more strange.

First of all, let’s talk about the fish. The fish meat is tender and has no fishy smell. The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes. The soup of this fish is also very unusual. It doesn’t seem to be thickened with starch.

This was the first time she had ever seen soup of this flavor in her life.

"Master Liu, I'm talking about fish!" Chen Xueru reminded him, "I feel like this fish doesn't taste right. You're knowledgeable, please analyze it for me."

Grandpa Liu looked at Chen Xueru helplessly. He had originally thought of packing more food to take back after the meal, but seeing how enthusiastically Chen Xueru was eating, he was afraid that it might be dangerous.

"Ah, I remember you, girl, didn't have such a good appetite!"

After sighing, Master Liu looked at the empty plate in front of him and analyzed: "If I'm not mistaken, the boss didn't use water when stewing the fish!"

"Ah? If you don't need water to stew fish, what can you use?" Chen Xueru asked in surprise.

Master Liu picked up his chopsticks and tapped the empty plate, then tasted it carefully before saying, "It should be rice soup!"

Rice soup?

Chen Xueru was shocked when she heard this.

No wonder the soup has a unique taste and becomes more delicious the more you chew it.

If her stomach wouldn't allow it, she would even want to have another one.

"He cooks very attentively. He even uses rice soup to stew fish. I don't know how he came up with this idea." Chen Xueru looked at Chen Jun and couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Master Liu smiled and said, "I am sure that there is a famous chef behind the young boss!"

As the two chatted, Lin Yao brought two plates of steaming stir-fried pork intestines.

"Sister Chen, do you want some more rice?" Lin Yao asked caringly.

Chen Xueru hesitated for a moment, smelled the aroma of the stir-fried pig intestines, and handed the bowl over: "Please help me fill half a bowl."

She really couldn't eat any more.

When Master Liu saw this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Hey, he only ordered half a bowl of rice, it's obvious that he's too full.

Then he wouldn’t have to worry about Chen Xueru fighting with him for the dishes that were served later.

After the rice came, Chen Xueru couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pig intestines and put it into her mouth.

The first reaction was spicy, very spicy!

It is spicy yet fragrant, leaving a long aftertaste.

Chen Xueru couldn't help but close her eyes and savored the taste carefully.

After just a few bites, her stomach couldn't take any more.

Touching her swollen belly, Chen Xueru reluctantly put down her chopsticks.

"No, I really can't eat anymore."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu first picked up a piece of pig intestine with a smile, and took a few bites as if showing off.

"Who told you to eat so fast? There's more delicious food to come."

"The pork intestines were fried very well, and the heat was just right. I suspect the young boss's master may have worked at Diaoyutai."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru revealed a look of mixed truth and falsehood.

His eyes, which were already big, became even rounder now.

"No, you said Chen Jun's master is a famous chef who prepares state banquets?"

Master Liu picked up another piece of pig intestines, chewed it contentedly, and swallowed it before slowly saying, "It's almost certain. Otherwise, I really can't imagine what level of chef can train such an apprentice."

"After all, the young boss' age is right here. He is only eighteen or nineteen at most."

The more Mr. Liu spoke, the more excited he became. He felt like he had solved a puzzle and guessed Chen Jun's identity.

But there was still one thing he hadn't figured out.

Since Chen Jun has such a great teacher, why does he still set up a street stall?

And it’s such a small stall, it’s unreasonable!

"Oh my God, then the meal I had today can barely be considered a state banquet?" Chen Xueru was so shocked by the news that she had to lower her voice.

"Master Liu, you have a really good nose. You can even find a small stall like this. You must be a top gourmet."

The old man's face twitched when he heard this. Why did this girl's words sound strange?

Those who didn’t know would think Chen Xueru was cursing someone.

"Hush, don't say that. What if Chen Jun has some other intentions in setting up a stall?" The old man looked at the long queue of people and couldn't help but say, "More and more people are coming here to eat. You better keep your mouth shut and stop soliciting business for the little boss."

Chen Xueru was a little amused and helpless after hearing this.

Is this old man still worried that he won’t have enough food to eat?

The two of them ate and chatted. Well, to be more specific, Chen Xueru was chatting while watching Mr. Liu eat.

After everyone had eaten, Chen Xueru waved her hand and packed the dishes before Master Liu.

Master Liu drank the tea contentedly and felt that Chen Xueru in front of him was quite discerning.

"Little girl, come here to collect the money."

Grandpa Liu took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted out two yuan and ninety-two cents and handed it over.

He had already looked at the price list. The price of crucian carp with tofu and braised meat was the same. Although it was not cheap, Mr. Liu felt that it was worth the money.

With Chen Jun's level, it would cost at least ten dollars in a high-end restaurant.

In comparison, Chen Jun’s place has the best value for money.

More than two dollars?

Chen Xueru was stunned when she saw the money that Mr. Liu handed over.

"Master Liu, you didn't give it to the wrong person, did you?"

"That's right. These three dishes are 40 cents each, these two dishes are 80 cents each, and rice is 4 cents each. Can an old man like me take advantage of others?"

Wow, such delicious food is so cheap, isn’t Chen Jun such a real guy?

In Chen Xueru's opinion, even if the price of these dishes doubled, there would definitely be no shortage of customers.

What she didn't know was that if the customers in the queue heard these words, they would probably be so angry that they would hit people.

"Well, this is mine!" Chen Xueru counted out fifty yuan from her bag and handed it directly to Lin Yao.

Fifty??

Lin Yao was dumbfounded: "Sister Chen, this meal is ours to treat you, you can't accept money."

The girl seemed to be frightened by Chen Xueru's wealth and quickly returned the money.

Chen Xueru waved her hand: "This meal is yours, but I deposited the money with you. I will come here often in the future."

Having said that, he stuffed the money back.

In her opinion, it was a great deal to have such a delicious lunch for such a small amount of money.

Chen Jun invited her to dinner today, so she had to show her support. Besides, fifty yuan was nothing to her.

Fifty dollars may not be enough to treat someone to two meals at a high-end restaurant.

"Okay, then I'll write it down for you, Sister Chen!" Lin Yao thought about it and accepted the money.

After eating and drinking, Chen Xueru slowly stood up, touched her swollen belly, and said to Master Liu with some regret: "Master Liu, I'm going back to the store first."

Master Liu nodded: "Go ahead and do your work. I'll have a cup of tea before I leave."

Chen Xueru smiled, picked it up on the table naturally, and walked towards her bicycle with her waist twisted.

Watching her riding away, Master Liu put down his teacup, smiled and said to the old lady beside him: "After so many years, the girl from the Chen family has grown up like this..."

"Wow, where are the dishes on the table?"
