The gourmet master on the tongue

Chapter 15 The Wedding Banquet

Guangyuan Village, Tongzhu Township, Ganyuan Town.

Today Yanran's old classmate got married, and he came here from Baohua to attend the wedding.

"Yan Ran, long time no see." Old classmate Wang Hebin walked over with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect you to get married so soon." Yan Ran said with a smile.

"When you come across something good, you have to hurry up." Wang Hebin shook his eyebrows.

"Yan Ran." Another old classmate, Zheng Weiqiang, came over to say hello.

"Yan Ran." Xu Hanyu waved to Yan Ran.

"Zheng Weiqiang, Xu Hanyu, you are here too!" Yan Ran said happily.

"Is everyone in our class here?" Yan Ran asked.

"No, I invited a few friends who had a good time." Wang Hebin replied.

At this time, Wang Hebin saw a friend coming again, and shouted: "Brother He!"

Yan Ran casually followed Wang Hebin's line of sight, and was taken aback for a moment, He Jinrui?

"Yan Ran, why are you here?"

"Brother Rui, why are you here?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

"You know each other?" Wang Hebin asked curiously.

"I just met recently." He Jinrui said with a smile.

"Brother Rui, He Bin, how did you know each other?" Yan Ran asked.

"Brother He is the senior of my university, to be precise, the president of the student union." Wang Hebin said.

Yan Ran looked at He Jinrui very curiously after listening.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He Jinrui found it funny.

"No, I always thought the president of the student union was very powerful." Yan Ran said with a smile.

"Our student union chooses the president mainly based on his face. If you are in our school, you can do it too." He Jinrui joked.

Wang Hebin rolled his eyes while listening: "This is the first time I've seen someone who turns a corner and praises himself like this."

"Don't you know that a thick skin is also a must for the president of the student union?" He Jinrui pretended to be surprised.

Wang Hebin gave a thumbs up.

Several people chatted for a while, and some people came to look for Wang Hebin in a hurry.

The visitor is Wang Hebin's cousin.

"Brother Bin, the wedding chef said there was a traffic jam on the Haishun Expressway, and they were stuck on the expressway, so they might not be able to arrive on time," said the cousin.

"Traffic jam?" Wang Hebin was taken aback.

"Where's my dad?" He asked quickly.

"Call over there." The cousin said.

"Brother He, Yan Ran, you can do whatever you want, I have something to do..." Wang Hebin said.

"Do you need help?" He Jinrui asked.

Yan Ran also looked at Wang Hebin with questioning eyes.

"It's okay, you can do whatever you want, I'll go first." Wang Hebin went to find his father after finishing speaking.

He Jinrui and Yan Ran looked at each other with worried expressions.

----

"Dad, what's going on, what's the situation now?" Wang Hebin asked his father Wang Jiantao.

"They are stuck on the highway, and they don't know how long it will take to get there." Wang Jiantao said.

"How about we send someone over there to pick it up?" Wang Hebin said.

"How to pick up on the expressway? And there is a traffic jam." Wang Jiantao said.

Wang Hebin froze.

"Then what should we do?" Wang Hebin frowned.

"Let me think about it, don't worry, see if there is any way." Wang Jiantao comforted.

After a while, Wang Hebin said, "Why don't we find other chefs? We can't wait for the wedding banquet."

Wang Jiantao nodded: "You are right."

He immediately called to invite a chef, but he couldn't find anyone after asking around.

"There are too many people getting married today, and the chefs who specialize in wedding banquets are all alive." Wang Jiantao said to his son.

"What about the hotel?" Wang Hebin thought for a while and said.

"I don't think it's difficult. The banquets have to be booked in advance, so there is no improvisation." Wang Jiantao said.

"Then what should we do? The guests will come in a while, we can't let the guests go hungry?" Wang Hebin looked confused.

"What is this called? Well, there is no traffic jam in the morning, and there is no traffic jam in the evening, but it is still stuck on the expressway." Wang Jiantao was very distressed.

I knew that I was looking for a chef in the local area at the beginning. At that time, I wanted to find a good wedding banquet chef. The guests were happy after eating, and their faces were also bright, so I deliberately found a neighboring city.

When the father and son were distressed, Yan Ran stepped forward and said, "Leave the wedding banquet to me!"

Wang Jiantao and his son looked at Yanran when they heard the words.

"Leave it to you?" Wang Hebin said in a daze.

"Did you forget that I transferred to learn cooking before I finished junior high school?" Yan Ran said.

"Yeah, but..." Wang Hebin can't speak too clearly, brother, this is a wedding banquet, and you have only learned how to cook for a few years!

"Abin, who is this?" Wang Jiantao asked.

"Dad, this is my junior high school classmate named Yanran. He is a chef." Wang Hebin hurriedly introduced Yanran.

"Oh, hello, hello." Wang Jiantao greeted Yan Ran.

"Hi, uncle." Yan Ran said with a smile.

"You said just now that you will hold a wedding banquet?" Wang Jiantao asked.

"I've never done a wedding banquet, but it's always the same. In the final analysis, it's cooking. When it comes to cooking, delicious food is the most important thing." Yan Ran said.

Wang Jiantao was a little hesitant. It is true to say so, but at your age...

"Yan Ran, Uncle and A Bin appreciate your kindness, but this wedding banquet is still a bit different from other banquets. How about this? I'll think of a way to see if they can make it." Wang Jiantao said slowly.

Worried about Yan Ran's resentment, Wang Jiantao said a few more words: "Yan Ran, it's not that uncle doesn't believe you, it's really this wedding banquet, he's different from ordinary banquets, he..."

"Uncle, I understand, I understand." Yan Ran said quickly.

"Sorry." Wang Hebin said with a sneer.

Yan Ran patted him on the arm: "You are polite to me."

"Then you are busy first. If you need help, you must tell me." Yan Ran said.

"Okay, thank you in advance." Wang Hebin smiled.

Yan Ran turned around and walked towards He Jinrui.

"Did they find other chefs?" He Jinrui asked.

"No." Yan Ran replied.

"Then you?" He Jinrui looked at him.

Yan Ran shrugged with a smile.

"The wedding banquet is once in a lifetime. This matter not only affects Wang Hebin, but also everyone in the Wang family. It's normal for his father to be cautious. Don't take it to heart." He Jinrui comforted.

"No, no, I can understand that He Bin and I are buddies." Yan Ran said with a smile.

"That's good." He Jinrui smiled.

----

The Wang family thought about it and made countless phone calls, but in the end they couldn't solve the chef's problem.

"Abin, how long have you known this classmate?" Wang Jiantao asked.

"It's been a long time, we've known each other since middle school, many years." Wang Hebin replied.

"He has studied cooking, right? Do you understand his cooking skills?" Wang Jiantao asked again.

"Although I haven't eaten his dishes, I know that his grades in school are very good. By the way, he was No.1 in their chef graduation exam!" Wang Hebin replied.

"No.1? That's amazing!" Wang Jiantao said. Although he is young, he should be able to get No.1. He must have good cooking skills, right?

Right now there is no better way, he can't go into battle himself.

Wang Jiantao thumped his hands: "Let's go, let's find your classmate."

Yan Ran and He Jinrui didn't go far away, they just stood chatting on the side of the road not far away, seeing the Wang family father and son walking towards them, they immediately went up to meet them.

"Uncle, He Bin, is the matter resolved?" Yan Ran asked.

Wang Hebin frowned and shook his head.

"Yanran, uncle wants to ask you for help with something, I don't know about you..." Wang Jiantao said with a embarrassed smile.

"Uncle, do you want me to host the wedding banquet?" Yan Ran asked.

Wang Jiantao nodded in embarrassment.

"Okay, uncle, you can rest assured and leave it to me! I will definitely go all out and use all my skills to make this wedding banquet a success." Yan Ran said immediately.

"That's really... thank you so much, I said that to you just now, you..." Wang Jiantao laughed.

"Uncle, He Bin and I are good friends, very good friends, let's not talk about that." Yan Ran said.

"Okay, good boy, good boy, Ah Bin has you as a friend, good!" Wang Jiantao said.

"Yanran, thank you!" Wang Hebin said.

"Which one of us is with whom? Let's go, hurry up, or it will be too late." Yan Ran looked at him.

Wang Hebin immediately beamed with joy.

Afterwards, the Wang family father and son led Yan Ran to the kitchen.

It is said to be a kitchen, but it is actually an open-air kitchen temporarily built with three-color shade cloth, which can be regarded as a rural feature.

"Yan Ran, look, this is the menu for the wedding banquet." Wang Jiantao showed the menu to Yan Ran.

Yan Ran read it carefully: "Steamed scallops with minced garlic, braised shark's fin with abalone ginseng, stewed sliced ​​abalone, steamed grouper, ribs in a typhoon shelter..."

"All twelve dishes, all right?" Wang Jiantao asked.

"No problem!" Yan Ran said confidently.

Hearing Yan Ran's answer, Wang Jiantao's hanging heart finally settled down a little.

"Then I'll leave it to you, and I have to find someone to borrow tableware." Wang Jiantao said.

"No problem!" Yan Ran replied.

Wang Jiantao patted Yanran's shoulder with a smile, and turned to find someone to help.

"I'll help you get the ingredients." He Jinrui said to Yan Ran.

"The president of Tangtang company helped me, it seems that I have a lot of face!" Yan Ran joked.

"That's right! I'm still the president of the student union!" He Jinrui joked.

"Awesome." Yan Ran laughed.

At this time, several middle-aged women came over.

"Hello, I'm He Bin's mother." Mother Wang greeted Yan Ran and He Jinrui with a smile.

"Hello, auntie." The two said.

"I'll bring someone over to help fight me." Mama Wang said.

Yan Ran nodded with a smile.

"Okay, Lijuan, you go greet the guests, we will leave this place to us." said one of the women who came with her.

"Okay, thank you very much." Mama Wang said.

"Talk about this." Another aunt waved her hand.

With the help of a few aunts, Yan Ran felt a lot easier, and the progress gradually increased.

When middle-aged women get together, it is inevitable to talk about their children.

So, they chatted while doing things, and they talked about Yanran.

"Young man, do you have a girlfriend?" Someone asked.

Yan Ran's eyebrows twitched, he could already predict what would happen next.

"How about Auntie introduce a girlfriend to you?"

"Young man, what kind of girl do you like?"

"Let me tell you, Auntie has a little daughter who just graduated from college this year and looks really pretty."

……

He Jinrui looked at Yan Ran's embarrassment from the side, lowered his head and snickered.

Silently, she gave him a blank stare.

Soon, the topic turned to He Jinrui.

"What about you? Boy, do you have a girlfriend?"

"You look so good-looking, if you have a grandson with my daughter in the future, oh, how good-looking it will be!"

"How about it, young man, do you want Auntie to introduce someone to you?"

……

The attack power of middle-aged women is extremely powerful, and they don't feel embarrassed at all.

In a blink of an eye, Yan Ran and He Jinrui were clearly arranged by the aunts, and they even thought about the name of the child they will have in the future.

----

As the lunch time approached, more and more guests came to the banquet.

When everyone saw that the chef was a guy in his 20s, they couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"Why did this old king hire such a young chef?"

"Is this an apprentice or a chef? Isn't it too young? Even if you want to save money, this is not the way to save money!"

"It seems that today's meal doesn't taste very good! I don't know what dishes Old Wang has prepared."

"Eating banquets, isn't it just to have fun, the taste of the food is not important, as long as you can eat it!"

"You can't say that. Whether this dish is good or not is also related to face, okay? Anyway, when my son gets married in the future, I will definitely not invite such a young chef to cook. I have to hire an old chef anyway, right?"

In this way, the banquet kicked off amidst the whispers of the guests.

When Wang Jiantao approached, the guests began to talk about other topics very consciously, but Wang Jiantao still saw the clues from the expressions of the guests.

----

Garlic steamed scallops, steamed grouper, typhoon shelter ribs...

A series of delicacies were brought to the banquet.

"This grouper is delicious, so delicious, how is it made, how can it be so delicious?"

"This typhoon shelter ribs is better than the one I ate in Xuji."

"How do you prepare the minced garlic for steamed scallops? The taste is too fragrant!"

"Old Wang, where did you invite this chef, this skill is good!"

"Old Wang, you must give me the chef's phone number later. When my son gets married, I will invite him to cook."

"And me, my daughter is getting married next month, and we have to treat guests here. We must invite this chef to come over then."

……

Yan Ran's food won applause from all the halls, and Wang Jiantao's face was full of red, as if he really had a good eye, and he decided to cook Yan Ran from the very beginning.

"Everyone must eat and drink well today. I am very, very happy that my son is getting married today. Let's not go home until we are drunk. Hahaha." Wang Jiantao said to everyone, holding a glass of wine.

You guys, you were talking about me secretly just now, now you know how sharp my vision is?
