Gourmet and actor

Although he doesn't need to go to work, but in order to finish the things he should do as soon as possible and spend more time with Han Xilin before he gets busy again, Xiao Ke got up early the next day and went back to City B with his lover.

As for Father Han, he was still immersed in suffocation, depressed, and unwilling to go back to face the floor heating.He said he wanted to stay and play for another two days, and emptied out the preserved meat like gold and silver liver in the refrigerator before leaving.

Han Xilin wished that his father would live for another ten days and a half month, so naturally he would not enlighten him.Another nanny who was in charge of cooking was hired to take care of him, and he left easily.

After arriving, Xiao Ke went back to the apartment for a long sleep and had a belated lunch before going to the imperial dining palace.

He hadn't been to the restaurant for a month, and thought that it was already past meal time, so there shouldn't be any customers.Unexpectedly, when I looked up on the elevator, the bright floor-to-ceiling glass was still full of guests.

This accident made Xiao Ke very happy.Then I remembered that the weather was too hot and I didn't wear a mask when I went out.It's okay to walk on the street, but if you enter a restaurant, you might be recognized by someone.Realizing this, he quickly turned up the collar of his T-shirt to cover his chin, and sneaked into the kitchen like a thief.

At this time, Ding Haili had just changed shifts, handed over the unfinished menu to the help chefs, and was just about to take a break.Suddenly, I found a young man with sunglasses and a collar in the kitchen, his face was completely blocked. He thought it was the group of literary youths provoked by Ni Guang who sneaked in again and wanted to take pictures.

Just as he was about to ask him to leave, Ding Haili hesitated for a moment, then slapped his head, and said in surprise, "Mr. Xiao Xiao, you are finally back!"

When the chefs who were busy with cooking heard that the boss was coming back, those who could put aside their work all came forward to say hello, and those who were too busy adjusting the heat to leave also turned around to say hello.

They basically only met Xiao Ke during the first two days of opening, unlike Ding Haili, who at least learned from Xiao Ke for a while.But in the profession of chef, which pays attention to craftsmanship, the master is the teacher. Since they tasted the dishes cooked by Xiao Ke himself, they all admire and respect this young boss from the bottom of their hearts.

Seeing that the employees were very enthusiastic, Xiao Ke also greeted them one by one with a smile.In the end, Ding Haili pulled him into the lounge and said impatiently: "Mr. Xiao, since we opened for a month, the number of customers has been increasing steadily. Now there are several regular customers who have eaten all the dishes for two or three rounds. They all ask for new dishes. Some even print the photos of the dishes you posted on Weibo into a book, and ask each time if these dishes have been launched.”

Xiao Ke originally thought that what he cooks every day are home-cooked side dishes, and if they were put on the restaurant menu, they would bear the signboard of the Imperial Food Palace.

But since the diners strongly demanded it, he had no choice but to choose a few more delicate ones, intending to put them on to satisfy the curiosity of the guests.After they tried it, they felt that it was not as expensive as other dishes, so naturally they would not order it again.At that time, he will withdraw as a matter of course.

When Ding Haili mentioned this again, he took out the recipe he had prepared last night and handed it to the other party, "Old Ding, the restaurant is busy now, so I can't demonstrate it. You can take a look and figure out the details first. When there is no one tomorrow morning, I will I'll teach you again."

Ding Haili had been looking forward to the new recipe for a long time, and immediately took it with both hands, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and said yes repeatedly.

But after carefully reading the names of the dishes three times, he couldn't find the Cui Gai shark's fin that he had been thinking about day and night, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.

In the past, he thought he had just come here and hadn't done anything, so he was ashamed to open his mouth to ask first.No matter what you say now, you have been a chef for a month, and you have worked hard without credit, so I reminded: "Boss Xiao, the green shark's fin dish you made at Mr. Han's house during the Chinese New Year is rich and delicious, which is just right for us. Why aren't the theme of the restaurant listed together on the list?"

He thought to himself, could it be Mr. Han who protects the food and wants to keep it for himself, but is reluctant to let it out?

But Xiao Ke's answer was completely different from what he guessed, "Old Ding, when I first drew up the dry goods list with you, we had a lot of sea cucumbers and abalones, but I didn't order shark fins, because I just didn't want to order more. This dish."

"Why? Such a good dish, it's a pity not to serve it." Ding Haili used to be best at stir-fried shark's fin with crab, but he never touched shark's fin after coming to Yushan Palace.Although I have learned a lot of unique dishes taught by Xiao Ke, I still feel itchy occasionally.

Xiao Ke shook his head, "I have a friend surnamed Yin. After watching the documentaries he shot to track the lives of gulls and birds, I fell in love with this kind of films. I searched for similar ones to watch during filming breaks. As a result I found that most of the current methods of hunting sharks and cutting their fins are very cruel. To save trouble, many fishermen cut off the fins directly after catching them, and then throw the injured sharks back into the sea to die. During this time, it will continue to bleed. If If you don’t encounter natural enemies, you won’t die until more than a week later. Lao Ding, the shark’s fins taken out like this are really against humanity. We can’t control others, but at least we don’t want to touch them.”

He has been making shark fins for half his life, but Ding Haili has never paid attention to the method of fin extraction. Hearing this, he opened his mouth in disbelief. , wouldn't be so cruel, would it?"

"Shark meat is too fishy and rough, difficult to import, basically unsalable, and has no commercial value. The cost of raising a shark is higher than the selling price of shark fins. And because of the variety, the skin cannot be used. Therefore, no one Will do this kind of low-cost business." Xiao Ke explained.

After watching the shark documentary, he searched a lot of relevant information, so he knew so clearly.He was also very shocked at the time, not understanding why modern technology is so advanced, but the hunting methods are a hundred times more cruel than before.

But if you think about it carefully, life in ancient times was not easy. Without the help of machinery, the harvest throughout the year can basically only depend on the weather.Except for a very small number of princes and nobles and the rich, ordinary people save a lot and are reluctant to waste a grain of food.

If fishermen catch sharks, they will never release them back.After taking away the favorite shark's fin of the dignitaries, the remaining pieces of meat will be cooked and eaten.As long as it can fill your stomach, it doesn't matter how it tastes.Besides, compared to the Avalokitesvara soil that would eat the dead in the famine years, this can be called a delicacy.

In addition, at that time, the material resources were not developed, and the living conditions of ordinary people were far worse than they are now. The demand for shark fins was actually very small, and the number of killing sharks was not as frequent as it is now.Therefore, there has never been a situation where only fins are taken.

After listening to Xiao Ke's words, Ding Haili fell silent.Although he didn't have much awareness and was just an ordinary commoner, he also felt that this method of taking wings was too bloody and inhumane.Now that you know it, you can't touch it again.

However, Ding Haili was a little bit disappointed when he thought that he would no longer have to use the craft he was so proud of that he had been honing for most of his life.

Seeing his thoughts, Xiao Ke said: "Actually, the reason why shark's fin was popular in the past was because of the inconvenience of transportation, and people in the inland could not eat fresh seafood, so I came up with such a way. Shark's fin itself is tasteless, it is a borrowed dish There are actually quite a few such dishes, if we don’t make shark’s fin, we can make other dishes instead.”

Ding Haili nodded, but did not speak.

Xiao Ke came over today, originally planned to hand in the recipe, and just bring back the ingredients and utensils for wine making.

But seeing that Ding Haili was lost because of what he had said, Xiao Ke said after thinking about it to comfort him, "For example, tofu itself has a light and smooth taste, which can not only highlight the original umami taste, but also be used for flavoring. Today I will make a delicious Wensi Tofu Soup for you to try."

Hearing this, Ding Haili was refreshed.Wensi Tofu Soup is a famous vegetarian dish, supplemented with various mountain delicacies to highlight the fresh and light taste of tofu.Ding Haili wanted to see how Xiao Ke could make this dish delicious.

However, because this dish is too demanding for knife skills, it is required to cut the tofu as thinly as possible. Many restaurants have no name but no shape.Thinking back on Xiao Ke's lack of proficiency in handling ingredients, Ding Haili couldn't help but start to worry again: My knife skills are average, but Xiao Ke seems to be not good either. Who should I ask to cut tofu?

One joy followed by another worry, Ding Haili had no time to tangle with the shark's fin, and instead wanted to see what kind of Wensi tofu soup Xiao Ke would make.

Many of the ingredients in Yushan Palace are prepared by themselves, and there are rations every day.Knowing that the boss was going to cook in person, the staff responsible for the ingredients immediately notified the front desk to cancel the ration of two tofu dumplings.At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver the ingredients, he quietly stayed in the kitchen, ready to watch.

There were quite a few people who had the same idea. For a while, almost all the employees crowded into the kitchen, making the originally spacious room overcrowded.They were engrossed in watching Xiao Ke's every move, and they didn't even notice that an outsider came in.

Xiao Ke has long been used to being seen by others, so he doesn't care at all.Lift the handles of dozens of kitchen knives of different sizes and functions one by one, and try the weight.I picked the most suitable one, hung it on the cutting board, and made a gesture with the tofu, but I didn't do it immediately, but soaked the knife in the water for a while.

Ding Haili was relieved to see the way the boss was holding the knife.I thought to myself that instead of asking the boss to cut tofu shreds as wide as thin noodles like a top chef, it would be good as long as it is cut into shredded potatoes.

Before he could think about it, he saw Xiao Ke's wrist hanging slightly, the light of the knife turned white, and then there was a rushing sound as fast as rain on the chopping board.A few seconds later, the sound stopped suddenly, but the tofu didn't seem to have changed, it was still squarely stacked there.

While everyone was wondering, Xiao Ke had already turned over the square tofu.The knife flashed again, followed by a series of urgent noises.But the difference is that after the sound was stopped this time, as Xiao Ke pulled away from the blade, the tofu, which seemed unchanged at first, suddenly disintegrated into a pile of thin threads as thin as a needle.

Ding Haili, who was still worried before, looked straight at him: Xiao Ke's knife skills are really amazing, the cut material is much thinner than fine noodles, and it is about the same size as the small needle that his wife usually uses to make buttons.The most important thing about Wensi tofu soup is knife skills. If the tofu can be processed like this, the success of this dish is considered half.

At this time, I heard Xiao Ke say again: "Get a bowl of soup."

There are always two pots of soup hanging in the kitchen of Yushan Palace, one is pure chicken soup, and the other is not only whole chicken, but also add large pieces of cloud leg, whole sea cucumber, abalone and other ingredients, so that customers can serve it immediately when they order it.

Hearing that the boss pointed out that it was soup, the employee immediately scooped out a bowl from the last portion and put it on the tray.

Ding Haili knew that after the tofu was cut, it had to be blanched in water to remove the beany smell.But generally this step uses clear water. Since Xiao Ke chooses the soup that is boiled slowly, it must be for the taste.However, the tofu itself is tender and fragile, and now it is cut so finely, after being moved into the soup, can it still remain intact?

Before thinking about it, Xiao Ke had put all the tofu on the cutting board into the soup bowl.A group of plump white snow-like filaments immediately resembled flowers, undulating and blooming in the thick yellow and rich soup, the roots are intact, without any damage.

Seeing this, Ding Haili tried hard to recall Xiao Ke's technique just now.But after much deliberation, I couldn't find anything special.It seemed that he had just swipe with his hand, and then he had a good sense of proportion, and he perfectly completed this essential step with a force so light that a feather could not be added, and a force that was accurate to the millimetre.

Regardless of knife skills or techniques, it belongs to the control of ingredients.Teacher Xiao Xiao is so proficient and versatile at such a young age, I don't know how much hard work he has put in.It seems that I still have a lot to learn.

I used to think that if you make shark fin well, you can eat it for a lifetime, but now that you think about it, this kind of thinking is really ridiculous.The times are progressing. Once the public suppresses shark fin like foreign countries resist fur, his once proud craftsmanship will be useless.It's better to follow the right boss, learn more other crafts, and don't limit your eyes to a certain dish, which is the right way.

After figuring this out, Ding Haili's previous depression was instantly wiped away.

At the same time, he also realized that Xiao Ke specially cooks in order to enlighten himself.

Grateful in his heart, Ding Haili secretly decided that he could do nothing to help Mr. Xiao, he could only help him manage the restaurant well so that he could go out and film with peace of mind without being distracted.Only in this way can he live up to the importance he places on himself.

When Ding Haili's thoughts were surging, Xiao Ke kept moving.Putting the shredded tofu aside, he took a small pot and put it on the stove, and asked someone to pour half a pot of pure chicken soup into it.Then cut the vegetarian ingredients such as cloud legs, mushrooms, and green bamboo shoots into slightly long filaments, and add them together with the seasoning after the soup boils.

When the color of the ingredients turned from light to dark, and it was estimated that they were about seven or eight years old, he used a mesh spoon to pick up and drain the shredded tofu that had absorbed enough flavor, poured it into the soup pot, and slowly spread it with the round bottom of the spoon.

The slender shreds of tofu have already soaked up the rich aroma of the soup, and at this time it is stimulated again by the boiling chicken soup.Following his movements, a fresh and luscious fragrance immediately penetrated into the nostrils of everyone present.

After the soup boiled for a while, Xiao Ke turned off the fire.But he didn't cook it immediately, but filled a small bowl with it and handed it to Ding Haili, "Old Ding, taste it."

Ding Haili quickly thanked him and took it.I didn't rush to drink after I got it, so I looked at it first.In the small bowl, the soup was milky white and yellowish, smooth and delicate like fine silk.The bright white and tender tofu shreds are lined with red, black, green and yellow, and other ingredients of different colors, like printing on silk cloth, which is too beautiful to behold.

Ding Haili had only seen such a good-looking Vance Tofu Soup through the screen in the video files left by famous chefs.But if you think about it carefully, the chef's knife skills are much inferior to Xiao Ke's.

After a moment of admiration, he took a spoon and carefully took a spoonful to his mouth.

As soon as the fresh and thick thick soup enters the throat, it can't wait to slide down the stomach, but the thick and fragrant taste, along with the ingredients, lingers between the teeth.

The freshness of the abalone, the mellowness of the cloud legs, the aroma of the local chicken, the tenderness of the fresh vegetables... the carefully selected high-quality ingredients, all the essence was sent to the tip of his tongue at this time.The taste is extremely mellow, and it is not much inferior to the slow-simmered and carefully processed shark's fin.

Tasting for a long time, Ding Haili sighed submissively: "Mr. Xiao, I have convinced you again. This Wensi tofu soup should have been boiled in clear water and then boiled in clear soup. The taste is all about light. But when it comes to you In the hand, it can become so mellow and delicious, and it is natural, not far-fetched, as if this dish should have this taste."

Seeing that his brows were stretched, as if the knot in his heart had been untied, Xiao Ke who had achieved his goal smiled easily, and said: "The light taste makes it come in, and the taste makes it come out. This is the characteristic of Chinese food, and it is ever-changing. Even if it is the same A dish, different chefs will have different tastes. Not to mention adding a few ingredients, the taste can be completely different, but still delicious. Some ingredients are irreplaceable, and some have long been replaced, it depends on you How did it work?"

Ding Haili nodded repeatedly, firmly remembering Xiao Ke's words.He used to think that if you follow the recipe meticulously and do every step well, you can naturally cook delicious food.But I never thought that cooking can be done as you like, flexible and changeable.Xiao Ke's words gave him great inspiration.

After unraveling Lao Ding, Xiao Ke couldn't help laughing when he noticed that the employees had surrounded him, and said, "There are still guests outside, so you should go to work first."

After being reminded by the boss, the employees realized that they had deserted, and quickly returned to their respective posts in embarrassment.

As soon as the crowd dispersed, Xiao Ke immediately discovered that there were already two more acquaintances behind him.One is wandering in the sky, and the other is salivating.Xiao Ke couldn't figure out how they got together, so they said hello together: "Xiao Deng, Mr. Ni, why are you here?"

One of them is Ni Guang.Ever since he became obsessed with the dishes of Yushan Palace, he has come to eat every now and then.Would rather save money on other hobbies than wrong my tongue.Come here as usual today, I wanted to say hello to Lao Ding who is already an adult, but when I entered the door, I happened to see Xiao Ke demonstrating his knife skills.

Realizing that this is a rare opportunity to collect materials, he didn't care about being rude, and immediately took out his mobile phone and started shooting.After the shooting, he was deeply shocked by Xiao Ke's knife skills, and he couldn't help but immediately played it back, specially using slow motion.In the end, he was stunned to find that the technique Xiao Ke used just now seemed to be martial arts?

Thinking of the previous video of Xiao Ke dancing sword, Ni Guang hurried to search.Comparing the hatchback, I was immediately convinced: it turns out that Boss Xiao Xiao's knife skills are really born out of swordsmanship!This, this, this is too awesome, it is simply the modern version of Hong Qigong!How lucky to be able to get such a piece of material!

It wasn't until Xiao Ke greeted him that he realized it, and said quickly: "Mr. Xiao, I took the liberty of taking a picture of you cooking just now. Can I post it online? I promise not to use it for commercial purposes."

Although he used an inquiring tone, Ni Guang put the phone in his pocket early on, and covered his pocket to cover it up.It seems that as long as Xiao Ke says no, he will run away.

Xiao Ke, who has recently learned a lot of body language from Senior Sun, saw this appearance and knew that he wanted to keep the video.Anyway, it's not a secret, Xiao Ke nodded and said, "Yes."

"Mr. Xiao, thank you so much!" Ni Guang was elated.As a fan of Xiao Ke's craftsmanship and knowledge, getting such a video is really the best collection.

While they were talking, Deng Yibo next to him rushed forward and snatched the pot of tofu into his hands.

In the name of a pseudo-partner, Deng Yibo came to Yushan Palace for dinner every day when Xiao Ke was not in City B.

Although his sense of taste is not as sharp as Han Xilin's, he has followed Xiao Ke in the film crew anyway.I am used to high-quality food, and when I eat the dishes made by Ding Haili, the somewhat lacking heat will be infinitely magnified immediately.But the dishes in other places are far worse than what Lao Ding cooks.Therefore, he had no choice but to pick and choose and reluctantly settle for the good times with Xiao Ke while missing the good times.

He and Ni Guang entered the kitchen one after the other.Senior Wenqing Ni Guang saw swordsmanship and skill.Deng Yibo's eyes were only on the pot of Wensi tofu that was full of color, fragrance and taste.

God knows how hard he waited for Xiao Ke. He didn't even pay much attention to the little anchor he liked before.But before Han Xilin left, he said that if he dared to go to city A to join in the fun, he immediately persuaded his mother to pack him up and register with the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Originally, he wanted to say hello first, but after the dishes were finished, Xiao Ke first called Ding Haili, and then was dragged by Ni Guang.After waiting for a long time, Deng Yibo was so greedy that he simply didn't say a word, and brought the pot directly, and ate it while blowing it, it was not too hot.

After Xiao Ke finished being polite with Ni Guang, he turned around and saw Deng Yibo's unimpressive appearance, and couldn't help but touch his forehead, "Little Deng, eat slowly, no one will grab you."

"It's slow enough." In his busy schedule, Deng Yibo raised his head, justifying himself, "If it wasn't too hot, I would have swallowed it all in one gulp."

"..." Xiao Ke thought, why does he have such a partner?Forget it, who made the Deng family rich.

On the side, seeing Deng Yibo's vicious appearance, Ni Guang, who was still secretly ashamed of his rudeness just now, felt a sense of superiority, thankful that he still maintained his proper demeanor in front of the food.

However, thinking about the price of maintaining his demeanor, Deng Yibo can shake off his cheeks and eat wildly, but he can only stand by and smell the fragrance... Ni Guang's smile suddenly showed a bit of bitterness.

To dispel these sentimental thoughts, while Xiao Ke was still there, Ni Guang hurriedly revealed a plan he had been brewing for a long time, "Mr. Professional food photographers will take pictures of the dishes and provide explanations. Are you interested?"

His original intention of planning this theme was to eat crabs overnight in "Life of Hundred Flavors". After returning home, he half-jokingly mentioned that he wanted to be greedy for an old foodie who worked abroad and couldn't come back for a while. .Unexpectedly, after it was released, it unexpectedly received enthusiastic response and support from its own fans.

At present, Yushan Palace only has a store in City B. Although people from other places also want to taste dishes, they can't immediately put down their work and go on a foodie trip.That being the case, it's not bad to rely on photos to satisfy your hunger first.

Encouraged by fans, Ni Guang immediately put this matter on the agenda.Originally, I planned to finish the planning plan before contacting Xiao Ke, but I didn't expect to meet here today, so I said hello in advance.

Xiao Ke, who wanted to make the restaurant flourish, was quite moved after hearing this.

But after thinking about it, before the restaurant opened last time, when the media that were scheduled to interview him were looking for a reason to change the date, someone once said bluntly that if they want to promote the restaurant, they have to give red envelopes.

Xiao Ke didn't realize the importance of publicity at the time, so he refused.As for Xiao Ma's use of exclusive headlines afterward to trigger another round of heated discussions among the public and make those media regret their guts, he is not clear.

He just felt that the media where Ni Guang worked seemed to have a much greater influence than those of those units.Would it be expensive to hire him as the theme?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ke asked, "How much do you charge for a special topic?"

"No, no, no." As usual, there was a promotion fee, but how dare Ni Guang accept idol money.What's more, this request was made on my own initiative.If you talk about money, it looks like you are soliciting business.

He said: "Mr. Xiao, if you agree, I'll go back and think about a plan. After deciding on the details, we'll make an appointment to come and take pictures."

Since it is free publicity, it should not be missed.Xiao Ke nodded happily, "Then I will trouble you."

At this time, Deng Yibo had already finished the soup with a spatula, and was focusing on scraping off a few shreds of tofu sticking to the wall of the pot.The look of locusts crossing the border with endless aftertaste, vowing to wipe out every plant and tree, made Ni Guang feel depressed again.

In order not to make himself unhappy again, he decided to leave immediately, "Mr. Xiao, you don't have to be polite. That's it, you go first, I'll go over to have dinner."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ke responded, and he immediately walked away.I didn't hear Xiao Ke telling the staff to give him a free order later.

Returning to the reserved seat and urging the waiter to serve the food quickly, Ni Guang watched the video again.I originally wanted to go back and ask a friend to adjust the color before posting, but the more I watched, the more I couldn't help but want to show off, so I directly posted it on my official account as a special preview, titled "I am not only good-looking, Martial arts are higher".

After fans of Ni Guang formed a group to watch Xiao Ke's clips last time, many people who didn't watch domestic dramas began to look forward to "Battle of the Mystery City".

After watching his new video, the fans were once again shocked by Xiao Ke's artistic ability.Feeling Xiao Ke not only performed well in Peking Opera Huadan, but also had great swordsmanship.It's a pity that cold weapons were not used in anti-Japanese dramas, and his swordsmanship and martial arts were not seen.We can only see the style by waiting for the next martial arts drama to start broadcasting.

A TV station in a certain province, which was originally working hard on marketing, searched for news along the keywords, and had an idea, and immediately said that it would edit a Daquan of Xiao Ke's wonderful play, and it would be released tonight.As soon as this was said, someone immediately left a message applauding.Some people also said that they wanted to watch Xiao Ke's drama collection, and the provincial TV stations who were worried about not being able to find more marketing topics agreed one by one.

Ni Guang didn't expect that he would receive a series of benefits after sending out a benefit. Holding his mobile phone and watching it with a smile, he couldn't help but want Xiao Ke to see it too.But when he came to the kitchen again, he found that he was talking with Deng Yibo seriously, thinking that they had something important to do, so he didn't bother.

Actually, Xiao Ke was listening to Deng Yibo's bitterness.

The two main culprits in Lou Min's case were the fund managers who tried to fool him before.After the incident, the police also came to him.Although it was just a routine investigation and didn't say anything, Young Master Deng still felt deeply ashamed and complained about his suffering for a long time.

Xiao Ke had long understood Deng Yibo's personality.After only half listening, I went to the warehouse where the ingredients were stacked to check the specially-made wine-making equipment.Responding from time to time, it was considered as comforting him.

After complaining, Deng Yibo came up with the idea of ​​connecting Xiao Ke with his elder brother.

Deng Zairong has been uncharacteristically lately. He didn't have a boyfriend, and he didn't go out to socialize. He just went home after work every day.Not only Deng's mother was very pleased, but Deng Yibo also felt that this was a good sign: My brother finally calmed down, now he can introduce Xiao Ke with confidence and boldness.Once successful, you can eat delicious food without looking at Han Xilin's face in the future!

Just about to speak, Deng Yibo immediately forgot what he was going to say just now when he saw the weird water tank with an electric pump in front of him, and asked instead: "What kind of food is this used for?"

"For brewing."

"Finally there's wine? That's great!" Upon hearing the word wine, Deng Yibo, who was greedy for drinking, completely threw the matchmaking into the clouds, and asked impatiently: "Xiao Ke, how long will it take to brew?"

Xiao Ke had checked the wine bottle just now, and confirmed that Ding Haili had followed his instructions to soak all the medicinal materials that could be used as medicine or food into the designated white wine, and it had been settled for a period of time.When Deng Yibo asked, he said, "If the production starts tonight, it will take about three or four days."

"It's so fast, what else can I do? I'll help!"

"It's better to use a machine instead of manpower." Xiao Ke thought to himself, Han Xilin had just spent a lot of trouble tying up his father, how could he take the initiative to invite trouble to come to the door.

The matter of the restaurant has been explained, Xiao Ke refused Deng Yibo's request to have dinner, and asked Ding Haili to send another batch of fresh ingredients for wine making on the pretext of going back to make wine, ready to leave.

Ding Haili immediately asked the familiar driver who often delivered goods to pull the materials, and when the truck came back, he and several employees moved all the materials up by himself.

Deng Yibo followed behind with a small wine bottle in his arms.Just as he wanted Xiao Ke to make wine quickly, he suddenly smelled the tangy fragrance, stretched his head to look into the carriage, and asked curiously: "Xiao Ke, what are you doing with so many lotus flowers?"

"Wine."

"Ah?" Hearing this answer, Deng Yibo was dumbfounded.

I saw more than a dozen buckets in the white-painted carriage, filled with lotus leaves and flowers.The flowers are red and white, and the dewy flowers are set against the blue round leaves. They are young and beautiful, but they don't match the ingredients no matter how they look.

What does lotus-flavored wine taste like?Still lotus?

Deng Yibo still wanted to ask more questions, but Xiao Ke had already sat in the driver's cab, waving goodbye to everyone.

Therefore, he had no choice but to keep his doubts in his heart, and was ready to wait for the wine to brew, and then see the outcome.

Xiao Ke's heart is like an arrow, and so is Han Xilin.Without the old man who is in the way and doesn't know it, the romantic night is waving the small flag to him vigorously.

It just so happened that tomorrow was Saturday, so Han Xilin quickly dealt with urgent matters at the headquarters and left the minor matters for next week.At the same time, He Lun was repeatedly ordered, no matter what happened, He Lun was not allowed to disturb him, even making phone calls.

After explaining what should be explained, Han Xilin personally went to the bar he frequented to make a low-alcohol drink, and bought the dried fruit snacks that Xiao Ke often ate, and returned with a full load.

But when he returned to the apartment excitedly, he found that the kitchen, which was already warm and fragrant at this time, was deserted today.

Looking at the bedroom again, Xiao Ke's eyelashes were tightly closed, lying on his back on the bed, his face was flushed, and his complexion was very abnormal.

"Xiao Ke?" Han Xilin thought he was ill, his heart tightened, he dropped his things and wanted to carry him to the hospital.

As soon as the bag fell to the ground, some pre-mixed wine splashed out.The faint smell of wine floated in the air, causing Xiao Ke to open his eyes all of a sudden, sniffed his nose in dissatisfaction, and muttered feebly, "Why is it wine again?"
