private kitchen

Lin Yize sent out an invitation, and the other side responded very readily. Two days later, the guests arrived as promised.

Lin Yize's idea was to try to make He Qingshan as mysterious as possible in the early stage, so He Qingshan and Mr. Zhou couldn't come out in the side room, but the voices over there could be heard clearly. He Qingshan looked in through the window and saw Fengzi led in a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and ordinary clothes, but his expression was calm and indifferent.

Fengzi led him all the way to the main room, where Lin Yize was brewing a cup of good Maojian and waiting for him.

Lin Yize said that he had done business with this person before, so the two of them were fairly familiar with each other, and sat down after a few polite words.

The man's surname is Chen, about 40 years old, and his gestures are very elegant. He sat down and took a sip of tea slowly, with a slight smile on his face. Do you know if Mr. Chen can drink or not?"

Mr. Chen nodded and smiled: "It is indeed a good product. Boss Lin's taste has always been admired by Mr. Chen!"

He Qingshan turned his head to look at Mr. Zhou: "Boss Lin, is he famous?"

Mr. Zhou looked at him a little strangely: "You don't know? Your boss Lin has a lot of influence in this circle!"

He Qingshan shook his head in a daze: "He, isn't he just a hotel owner..."

Mr. Zhou laughed: "You, you are really doing it for the salary of thousands of dollars..." He said and pointed to the outer room with his finger: "Nowadays, there are only a few things that people are famous for. One is good looks, The third is to have money, and the third is to have ability. Your Boss Lin has all three, plus he is born with a special appreciation for food and a good sense of taste, and he owns hotels and restaurants. He is a very popular foodie in the circle...or else..." He glanced at He Qingshan again: "Do you think anyone can let me out?"

A rare surprised expression appeared on He Qingshan's face, he shook his head, and looked out through the window lattice again.

Lin Yize pursed his lips: "I don't dare to bring out bad things. Those that can catch Mr. Chen's eyes must not be vulgar. Otherwise, I wouldn't invite Mr. Chen to be the first guest in my small yard. I don't know Mr. Chen Do you have any requirements for this opening banquet?"

Lin Yize didn't go any further, and got straight to the point. Mr. Chen pondered for a while, as if he was thinking, his eyes wandered around the room, and finally stopped in front of the table, he smiled and raised his eyes, slowly Said: "Since it's an opening banquet, Mr. Chen also wants to ask Boss Lin for auspicious luck. To be honest, Mr. Chen has thought about it a lot at home these days, but he still didn't have a suitable idea until just now. However, I just made a sudden decision... ..." As he spoke, he took the hand ornament that had been placed beside him: "Why don't we use this as a topic..."

"What what? What?" Mr. Chen's hand was blocked by a small screen, He Qingshan couldn't see it, stretched his neck to look left and right, and in a blink of an eye, Mr. Chen had stood up, ready to say goodbye.

At this moment, Elder Zhou stood up suddenly, pushed the door and walked out, He Qingshan almost fell forward unprepared, he staggered two steps, and quickly hid beside him.

Lin Yize and Mr. Chen turned their heads when they heard the voice, Mr. Chen's eyes lit up instantly, he stood up quickly, and cupped his hands respectfully: "Old Zhou, long time no see!!"

Mr. Zhou also cupped his hands at the guest, and said loudly, "Mr. Chen, we haven't seen each other for more than 10 years, right?"

Mr. Chen laughed: "Yes, your stewed chestnut pheasant dish more than ten years ago is really memorable!" He laughed a little embarrassedly: "It may be impolite to say that... "He glanced at Lin Yize, with an apologetic smile on his face: "I'm not such a pushy person. I used to be more cautious when encountering such things. This time I heard Mr. Zhou's name, but I couldn't bear it." Temperament, I sent an email in a hurry, and heard that I was selected, but I didn't sleep well all night!!"

Mr. Zhou chuckled twice: "Boss Chen, thank you for the prize, this is the fate between you and us. The questions that Boss Chen gave us must be treated well!"

He glanced at the hand ornament on the table, lowered his eyes, and more or less came to a conclusion in his heart: "Well, give me two days, and at this time the day after tomorrow, I'm still here, waiting for your visit!"

Mr. Chen also laughed: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient. At this time the day after tomorrow, Mr. Chen will definitely be on time for the appointment."

He Qingshan was dizzy from their polite mutual compliments, finally Fengzi sent him out, and then he came out from the side, poking his head: "What kind of subject is Mr. Chen asking?"

Lin Yize threw the hand ornament up in his hand, and then stretched it out in front of his eyes: "No!"

He Qingshan held the little thing in his hand, frowned: "Wood, what kind of food can wood do?"

Lin Yize reached out and knocked him on the head, hating iron for being weak: "What kind of wood, look what it is! It's a lotus!!"

It was a brown wooden ornament, the size of a palm, and the whole piece of wood was carved into a lifelike lotus flower, which was very delicate and exuded a faint fragrance.

Lotus... He Qingshan frowned and looked over and over again...

"He..." Mr. Zhou picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, then slowly closed the cup again: "Qingshan, what kind of dish can you think of for this lotus..."

"Lotus house fish buns, honey hammered lotus root...and... jujube paste lotus rolls?" He Qingshan's voice dropped when he said the last one, he paused, and then continued: "I listen to all these dishes My grandfather once said it, but..." His voice lowered a bit: "I have made lotus root with honey hammer, and fish bag with lotus pot... I have never done it, and I have never seen it..."

Elder Zhou smiled: "I've made lotus house fish buns a few times, and this is a very good dish...do you know where this dish comes from?"

"Shan's confession?" He Qingshan was a little uncertain.

Mr. Zhou nodded: "The real lotus fish buns are divided into 32 dishes, but they have been lost for a long time. The Shanjia Qinggong talks about the cooking that was handed down later. Now some restaurants can also make it, just choose the ingredients. It’s not that particular... Since you want to do it here... then you need to be a little creative..."

Lin Yize hurriedly went over to promise: "Don't hesitate to mention it, Mr. Zhou, I'm here..." He glanced at Fengzi as he spoke, "It's the best shopping~~"

Elder Zhou nodded again: "Fengzi, help me prepare some lotus pods and lotus flowers before tomorrow morning. The lotus pods should be big, bright in color, full of shape, and not too old. One of the best wild mandarin fish, There are also lotus seeds, which should be tender and sweet, some chrysanthemum seedlings, some water chestnuts, and..." Mr. Zhou thought for a while: "There is a beekeeper named Zhang in the south of the city, go and get some of the best honey from him. "
