A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1135 Falling out with Xu Huanshan! (Please order the whole thing!)

Knowing that there would be guests in the evening, Hua Shier personally used all his cooking skills to the best of his ability and prepared a table full of his favorite dishes.

Yes, that’s right, they are all his favorite foods. Just eat them yourself and why should you care about the guests!

While busy in the kitchen, there was a knock on the door. Hua Shier hurried to open the door. Outside the door, he saw an angry Zhong Xiaoqin, followed by Gu Jia, Xu Huanshan, Wang Manni, and a greasy stranger, who was Liang Zhengxian in the original drama.

"The guests are here, please come in, I only have two more dishes!"

Hua Twelve invited everyone in, and Xu Huanshan immediately became unhappy:

"You are the guest, your whole family is the guest!"

He laughed after he finished speaking, mainly because before Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin divorced, because of the latter's relationship with Gu Jia, the two families often visited each other and often ate together, so Xu Huanshan was expressing his dissatisfaction with the word "guest", of course, it was mostly a joke.

Zhong Xiaoqin had a stern face:

"Chen Yu, what's wrong with you? This broken door can't be opened even with the key. I told you to change the lock a long time ago but you just wouldn't listen!"

Apparently she wanted to open the door herself, but was blocked by the door lock.

Hua Twelve didn't give her a good face:

"Some people must figure out their own position. You are a tenant now. Besides, I can open this door lock, your mother can open it, but you can't. Shouldn't you look for the problem in yourself?"

"you"

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't expect that even though there were guests, he would still not give her face.

Gu Jia quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you two quarreled when you got married, and now you're divorced and you still won't give in to each other. This is Manni's first time as a guest, can you two be quiet?"

Hua Twelve put on a smiling face and said, "Then hurry in. You are the guests, and you really want to be invited. This is Miss Wang's first time to visit. Hurry up and take a seat. This gentleman is..."

His eyes fell on Liang Zhengxian who was at the back, and he asked even though he knew the answer.

Just as Wang Manni was about to introduce them, Liang Zhengxian stepped forward, speaking in not-so-standard Hong Kong Mandarin, and stretched out his hand, saying:

"My name is Liang Zhengxian, I'm from Hong Kong Island, and I'm dating Manni. I apologize for coming to your house in such a presumptuous way!"

Hua Shier shook hands with him and laughed: "It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Come in and take a seat!"

He looked behind him and saw that there was no one else, so he asked Xu Huanshan:

"Where's that kid Chen Xu?"

Xu Huanshan said as he changed his shoes: "I greeted him, he said he had an appointment with a female netizen. How can young people nowadays have common topics with us? Just let him have his fun!"

When Hua Shier heard that Chen Xu had gone to meet in person, he said unhappily:

"This brat, he didn't even come when I invited him to dinner. I hope he goes through those famous scenes of failed dating, like Qiao Biluo, and can't get rid of her. See if he cries!"

Everyone burst into laughter. Qiao Biluo's story had just gone viral on the internet, so they all knew what Hua Twelve meant.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "How can you be a big brother like this!"

"You don't understand how I feel as a brother. I just want him to learn from his mistakes!"

Everyone entered the house, Hua Twelve said hello and went into the kitchen. He quickly prepared the last two dishes and brought them out. They were squirrel fish and sea cucumber with scallions. Both were hot dishes with sauce and came out of the pot very quickly.

Everyone outside was stunned when they saw the table full of delicious food prepared by Hua Twelve. The dishes were so colorful, fragrant and delicious that you might not even find them in the best Chinese restaurants.

Gu Jia's eyes are full of little stars:

"Teacher Chen, this is really great. We have been having dinner together for so many years, and you are hiding something from me. This is really not nice of you!"

Xu Huanshan echoed: "That's right, I'll punish you with three glasses of wine later!"

The couple brought wine, and Liang Zhengxian also brought a bottle of red wine.

When Hua Twelve saw that the seat reserved for him was next to Zhong Xiaoqin, he immediately became unhappy:

"Zhong Xiaoqin, go sit next to Gu Jia. Why are you sitting so close to her after getting divorced? Let Xu Huanshan come over and let's drink together!"

Zhong Xiaoqin immediately felt aggrieved. It was too disrespectful. As a result, Gu Jia smiled and pulled her over:

"They drink theirs, and we sisters drink ours!"

Xu Huanshan smiled bitterly and sat over. They came here today hoping to bring the two together and get them back together. Now it seems a bit difficult, so they could only say:

"Come on, fill up the glasses. Thank you Chen Yu for preparing such a delicious meal for us!"

After hearing what Xu Huanshan said, Liang Zhengxian picked up the Bordeaux he brought and was about to open the bottle.

Hua Shier waved his hand and said, "Why drink red wine with Chinese food? Red wine is for women. I have white wine here. Wait for me to take it to you!"

He went into the room and took out an unremarkable glass bottle and a few small wine glasses worth two cents. The glass bottle looked like the white wine that cost three or five yuan a bottle in the grocery store, which made Liang Zhengxian frown.

As a result, as soon as Hua Twelve opened the bottle, a faint aroma of wine wafted out, which was elegant and pure, making people immediately feel that this wine was extraordinary.

"What kind of wine is this? Let me see."

Xu Huanshan took the wine and looked at the paper label on it: "A famous product of Shanxi, Laobai Fenjiu. Damn, this packaging? Is this the State Banquet Fenjiu?"

Hua Twelve smiled and shook his head: "It's not the year, this is from 1955, it's a few years off!"

Xu Huanshan didn't know what to say: "Even if I have money, I can't buy this thing anywhere!"

When they heard that it was a good stuff, the women even stopped drinking red wine and switched to small cups of two cents each, wanting to taste what the 1955 Fenjiu tasted like.

Gu Jia raised her glass: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your hospitality. Let's toast to him!"

The three women only had a quick taste, while the three men drank it all in one gulp.

"Good wine!"

Xu Huanshan felt that the wine was soft and smooth in the mouth, with a sweet taste, a rich aroma yet fresh, and a long aftertaste.

Liang Zhengxian's eyes lit up: "Not bad, not bad!"

Hua Twelve rolled his eyes when he heard this guy's praise. In the original plot, he was very knowledgeable when talking about foreign liquor, but after letting you taste the wine used in the state banquet, he ended up blurting out the words: a wild boar can't eat fine wine.

Silently in my heart I added:

"Not bad, not bad, it tastes great. To use the foreigners' language, it's called wairuiguda!" Hua Twelve was very satisfied. Look at my literary talent!

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

Xu Huanshan took a bite of the scallion-fried sea cucumber, and his eyes lit up again. This time he was really surprised:

"No, Chen Yu, did you make this? When I was in Beijing, our instructor took us to Fengze Garden several times. Your scallion-fried sea cucumber is better than the one made by the master chef at Fengze Garden!"

The others quickly took a bite and nodded repeatedly, praising it.

Hua Shier thought to himself that I stole the skills from the master chef of the generation of the founder of Fengze Garden, and what you eat is made by the disciple's disciple's disciple, how can the quality be the same?

Not only the scallion-fried sea cucumber, but all the other dishes also amazed everyone.

After a few drinks, Liang Zhengxian became talkative:

"Brother Chen, I fly to thirty-seven countries every year. Besides doing business, my favorite thing is to taste the delicacies from all over the world. The dishes you cook are ranked third among the delicacies I have ever eaten. It's amazing."

Hua Twelve smiled faintly and didn't take it seriously. After all, China is a land of hidden talents and there are plenty of good chefs. It's no surprise that there are better chefs than him.

Xu Huanshan became interested: "Mr. Liang, where are the top two delicacies?"

Liang Zhengxian smiled and said:

“The second place is a French restaurant. The French food there is the best I have ever eaten!”

"I think the number one restaurant in Japan has rice, sushi, eel and sashimi."

Xu Huanshan and Hua Twelve looked at each other, and both could see a hint of disgust and disapproval in each other's eyes.

Hua Twelve laughed:

"Brother Liang, now that you mention it, I know which restaurant it is. I'm familiar with the food. There's also a turtle hermit who brought these ingredients and peeked into a girl's underwear. It's all been drawn into a comic!"

"There is also the Sashimi Immortal. The most famous dish is the large intestine sashimi, which is famous in the Japanese islands for its original flavor. I am not lucky enough to try it, mainly because it is too stimulating."

Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin were so nauseated that they almost vomited. The large intestine sashimi with original juice was so stimulating that it made them vomit!

The two girls waved their fists at Hua Twelve: "We are eating, can you please stop talking!"

Wang Manni's face looked a little unhappy. She could clearly hear that her boyfriend was no longer liked.

Liang Zhengxian may be from Hong Kong Island, so he did not hear the sarcasm in Hua Twelve's words, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Chen is really good at joking. I know Master Roshi, the one in the Dragon Ball comics. I didn't expect Mr. Chen also reads comics. We can talk about it when we have time!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his glass again, and the three men clinked glasses again. Xu Huanshan tried to hold back his laughter the whole time.

Liang Zhengxian continued, "I have a suggestion. I can invest in setting up a restaurant and Mr. Chen can be the chef."

Hua Twelve smiled: "I'm sorry, I cook mainly to please myself and satisfy my appetite. I have never thought about becoming a chef. Besides, how much money can a chef make!"

Liang Zhengxian said with an expression that said, "You don't understand."

"With your cooking skills, it won't be difficult to be selected as a Michelin three-star chef. You can get a few girls who pay you three hundred thousand a month!"

Hua Shier smiled and shook his head: "Forget it. How can a company that produces tires select good chefs? Besides, I don't have much ambition and I can't endure hardship."

Wang Manni didn't know about Hua Twelve's fortune yet. Seeing him repeatedly refute her boyfriend's face, she felt a little embarrassed and said:

"Teacher Chen, it's better to be down-to-earth. Although the matter between you and Xiaoqin was caused by misunderstanding, I think the main conflict is caused by economic strength!"

Hua Twelve said with a half-smile: "Oh, then tell me about it!"

Wang Manni also drank some wine, her face was slightly red:

"I think that a lot of trivial matters can be solved with money. For example, if you were not so busy with work and spent more time with Xiaoqin, I think you would be in a different situation today!"

Zhong Xiaoqin was just chatting with Gu Jia privately. When she realized what was happening, her face turned red and she quickly said:

"Hey, Manni, stop talking!"

Hua Twelve nodded to Wang Manni:

"What Miss Wang said makes sense, but I still want to reject your boyfriend. First, I don't like to please others. Second, I have already achieved financial freedom. Let alone a monthly salary of 300,000, even a monthly salary of 3 million is not attractive to me!"

Wang Manni looked unconvinced and even sneered: It’s only been a few days since the divorce, and you’re already financially independent?

Hua Twelve smiled faintly and said to himself:

"At an auction held in Beijing in September 2010, 20 bottles of national collection Fenjiu were sold for a total price of 30.76 million yuan, with the highest price for a single bottle being 2.09 million yuan?"

"The reason why it is so expensive is that the national collection of Fenjiu is made from the only remaining Fenjiu original liquor from the early days of the People's Republic of China. The base liquor is taken from the Baoyu jar, the 'first jar in China'. After this jar was sealed in the 1960s, it has only been opened twice, once in 2008 to celebrate the Olympic athletes' success, and the other time in 2009 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China."

Hua Twelve pointed to the bottle of 1955 Fenjiu that everyone was drinking in front of him:

"And this bottle of Fenjiu of mine is the same as the National Collection Fenjiu, made with the original liquor from the Baoyutan. If this bottle is put up for auction, it will be worth no less than the bottle of wine I mentioned!"

Everyone looked at the bottle of liquor that looked like a scattered basket in shock. Just this bottle, more than two million?

Xu Huanshan said: "Wow" to express his shock.

He looked at Hua Twelve: "So, what Xiaoqin said about you being a multi-millionaire now is true?"

Hua Twelve smiled and nodded: "As for the money, it is indeed over 10 million."

He didn't pretend to be cool by saying that he is a billionaire. It would seem too low to say it directly. People have to slowly experience it. Invisible pretense is the most deadly!

Although Liang Zhengxian did not take the multi-millionaire seriously, he also knew that it was normal for him to look down on the profession of chef, so he raised his glass:

"I took the liberty!"

"It's okay, Brother Liang also has good intentions!"

Hua Shier clinked glasses with the other party.

Then everyone started to taste the food, chat and laugh, and the atmosphere became cheerful.

The three women were having a good time drinking, and Zhong Xiaoqin even took out the karaoke machine at home to sing together.

When the dinner was over and everyone had cleared the table, Hua Shier brewed a pot of Biluochun tea for everyone to sober up.

After Xu Huanshan drank two cups and calmed down, Hua Shier started talking about business.

"Huanshan, there is something I need to tell you!"

Xu Huanshan was slightly startled when he saw Hua Twelve suddenly become serious, then smiled and said:

"We've been friends for so many years, if you have something to say, just tell me, don't be so serious, okay!"

Hua Twelve smiled and said, "I didn't say anything at the table just now because I was afraid of affecting everyone's interest and ruining the atmosphere!"

After he said this, the others also quieted down and looked at the two of them.

Xu Huanshan also became serious: "Okay, Chen Yu, you talk and I'm listening!"

Hua Twelve nodded: "Zhong Xiaoqin told you two about my recent company, which helps people collect bad debts. With my smart mind and good reputation, the profits are pretty good!"

Boss Chen: Reputation?

Boss Shang: Do you still have that thing?

Zhang Dafa: Do you dare to swear an oath first?

Hua Twelve continued, "Yesterday I received an order from someone who wanted to collect a debt from you, and your name is 'Shen Jie'!"

Xu Huanshan's eyes narrowed, and Gu Jia's expression changed slightly.

Hua Shier continued his story: "Shen Jie's fireworks factory exploded, killing two people and injuring several others. Did you know that he didn't buy insurance for his employees?"

"Shen Jie is in jail, and his wife ran away with the money. The workers' families have no other options, so they have entrusted their cases to me!"

Gu Jia interrupted and asked, "Didn't Shen Jie keep another house?"

Hua Twelve showed a smile full of irony:

"There's still 15 years of unpaid mortgage debt on that house. Even if we sell it, we can't pay back the money we have to pay to the workers!"

Xu Huanshan finally spoke: "Chen Yu, Shen Jie's family is already miserable enough now, can you..."

Hua Twelve shook his head:

"Huanshan, as far as I know, Shen Jie's wife lives in a villa in Australia, drives a luxury car, and her children attend prestigious schools. You call this miserable? I'm telling you this not to ask you about the whereabouts of Shen Jie's wife, but to say hello to you. I'll take this case!"

"Next, I will ask Shen Jie's family to return the money, but I hope this incident will not hurt our friendship!"

Xu Huanshan stood up suddenly: "Chen Yu, you are going too far, Shen Jie is my best friend!"

Hua Twelve said calmly: "Can your friendship compare to the word 'conscience'?"

Xu Huanshan looked at Hua Twelve deeply, then walked away!

Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
