private kitchen

Mr. Chen's teacup was empty, and Lin Yize quickly poured it out again. Boss Chen finished eating the whole lotus pod fish bun, and took a sip of tea, and at this time the fourth course was served.

The fourth dish is the tofu lotus roll. This time, the plate arrangement has a slightly western taste. It is a long square plate decorated with mint leaves and ornamental small lotus flowers. There are 8 pieces neatly stacked on the plate. Lotus roll.

The color of the lotus roll is reddish, but the edges are slightly browned due to frying, and the top is covered with red sauce. Mr. Chen picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. He found that the taste of the lotus roll was very soft, salty and fresh, with sweet and sour The sauce was very tasty, he took a bite and took a closer look, and found that the cross-section of the lotus roll was very interesting.

Mr. Chen felt very curious, so he ordered Fengzi to fetch a table knife, took a lotus roll and cut it horizontally, raised the knife and dropped it, and saw that there were more than a dozen layers of tofu and tofu rolled in the two finger-thick lotus rolls. The thin slices of ham are only half a millimeter thick. The snow-white tofu and bright red ham are rolled up layer by layer, with the pink and white color of lotus petals, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

"Yo!" Mr. Chen laughed, looked around, and couldn't put it down: "Brother Lin, your dish is not only delicious, but also very beautiful!" Lin Yize slowly drank tea beside him, and ordered with a smile Nodding: "This dish was originally a beet dish. The chef has improved it. I was afraid that the taste would be changed a bit, but Mr. Chen likes it..."

Mr. Chen nodded as he listened, and ate another four or five yuan of lotus rolls. Seeing that he couldn't stop, Lin Yize put down his teacup and said jokingly: "Mr. Chen, there is one last dish here. ! You should save some stomach..."

Only then did Mr. Chen put down his chopsticks in embarrassment, and Fengzi came in with the last dish, and reported loudly: "Fresh lotus seed mud crab meat soup! Please use it slowly!"

What came up was a deep bowl of white porcelain with a wide mouth, covered with a thick lotus leaf, surrounded by two palm-sized small crabs, and inside the lotus leaf was a bowl of rich golden soup.

Fengzi brought two small white porcelain bowls and filled a bowl for Mr. Chen and Lin Yize each. Mr. Chen took a sip from the spoon, his eyes lit up immediately: "En, fresh!! This crab roe tastes very strong !"

Lin Yize also took a sip, and then explained to the side: "Mr. Zhou made this dish from the yellow of 4,5 or [-] blue crabs. The seasoned chicken soup is also a good local chicken. It is boiled a day in advance. The bones and flesh are rotten, the impurities are omitted, and the wine is naturally the best Huadiao in Shaoxing, but none of these can compare to the most important point..."

Mr. Chen was also aroused by what he said: "What?"

Lin Yize said mysteriously: "Xian..."

"The ingredients we choose are the best materials. The blue crabs were picked up from the lake yesterday and airlifted directly. They were raised in the water for a day, and they were still alive until the shells were opened to get the yellow. The lotus seeds and the native chicken Needless to say, the freshest and most suitable ingredients and the most seasoned and skilled chef... Mr. Chen..." He raised the corners of his mouth and lowered his eyes slightly: "What do you think of today's lotus feast?"

Mr. Chen tasted the last mouthful of lotus seed mud crab soup and was thinking about it. He came back to his senses after hearing what he said. He seemed to feel that he had lost his composure again. He coughed lightly and sat up a little.

Mr. Chen took a sip from the teacup in his hand, and nodded sincerely: "Not bad, not bad, Boss Lin's lotus banquet really opened my eyes! The dishes are not only delicious, but also very creative. There are many dishes that I like But I’ve never heard of it before!” He raised his eyebrows and cupped his hands: “Boss Lin’s young age is really well-deserved, and this matter of tongue-in-cheek... To be honest, Chen really... admires it. admire!!"

Hearing such compliments, Lin Yize couldn't help but smile. He pressed the corners of his mouth hard, trying not to let his pride show so clearly, but his face was still serious: "Mr. Chen, thank you!"

Mr. Chen couldn't help but picked up another lotus roll. He looked at it on the chopsticks, then turned his head to look at Lin Yize: "Boss Lin, I have another question..."

"Mr. Chen, please tell me..."

"This dish... and the honey hammered lotus root from before, it's not Mr. Zhou's style! If I'm not mistaken, this lotus banquet was made by two chefs... right?"

Lin Yize raised his eyebrows, showing a surprised expression, and then he laughed again: "You are right, there are two cooks... honey hammered lotus root, emerald green jade petals, and the last tofu lotus roll. From another chef..."

"Oh!!" Mr. Chen's eyes widened all of a sudden, "Can I ask the other..."

Lin Yize laughed, and he slowly drank a sip of tea as if tempting his appetite: "He, he is my secret weapon..."

Mr. Chen raised his eyebrows: "I don't know if I can ask this chef to come out and see him?"

Lin Yize chuckled twice: "Mr. Chen, since I said he is a secret weapon, let him keep it a mystery for a while longer!"

He Qingshan was sitting in front of the table wearing a vest and shorts. He tore open a lotus pod with chopsticks, stuffed a chopstick of fish meat into his mouth, and chewed twice: "It's delicious!!"

Lin Yize was drinking porridge, seeing his appearance, he couldn't help grinning, with a look of disgust on his face: "Be gentle, such expensive and delicate things! Look at what you eat!"

He Qingshan glared at him, and muttered in a low voice: "Pretending to be x..."

Lin Yize smiled and reached out to grab his ear: "What did you say..."

He Qingshan shook his hand away vigorously, and gave him another look: "What about you, you are businessmen who smell like copper, why are you pretending to be elegant!"

Lin Yize laughed twice, besides the lotus fish buns and candied hammered lotus root brought back from the humble garden, He Qingshan also packed the rest of the fish and brought them home, cut them up and cooked them in braised sauce Mandarin fish, steamed a large pot of rice, the two of them were eating high.

He Qingshan ate while snoring and asked him: "We have opened the door this time, right? Then the next guest..."

Lin Yize smiled: "You are really in a hurry, we are not in a hurry, take your time!"

Take your time... It's the first time I've heard that you are not in a hurry to attract customers... He Qingshan muttered in his heart, and let out a little disappointment. Lin Yize lowered his voice and said softly: "I'm going back there tomorrow for a while. Come on, there should be nothing to do these two days, you and Mr. Zhou practice your skills!"

He Qingshan groaned again, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

After dinner, Lin Yize rarely asked to wash the dishes, but He Qingshan was pushed out of the kitchen, but he didn't leave, and looked at him with his arms folded.Lin Yize felt a little awkward being stared at by him, and couldn't help turning his head: "Why are you looking at me, I've been busy all day, and I still don't go back to your room to play games!"

He Qingshan looked at him for a while and suddenly asked: "How many days are you going this time, when will you come back?"

Lin Yize suddenly felt inexplicably tense, and it took a long time before he turned his head: "It will be two or three days, it won't be too long, why..." He smiled maliciously: "You miss me now?"

He Qingshan glared at him fiercely: "You wash the dishes well, I'm going back to the house..."

Lin Yize gave him a grin, then turned around and lowered his head.

The shadow blocking the light left, and then heard the sound of the door closing gently, Lin Yize's smile froze on his face almost instantly.
