Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 266 Every family has a hard-to-read scripture
Su Qingfeng ignored this guy.

Lu Datou is good at everything, except for one thing: he doesn't keep his mouth shut.

To put it nicely, it means that one's intestines are open to the end and one cannot hide things in one's heart.

Seeing that he remained silent, Lu Datou scratched the back of his head, as if he had realized something, and remained silent.

But when Su Qingfeng came to the bottom of the shed, where the pot was heated and the oil was heated, Lu Datou became interested.

He followed Su Qingfeng like a follower, and finally got a chance to interact with Fang Jidong in private. He poked his head in, still a little reserved and embarrassed, "Master Fang...do you...remember me?"

Fang Jidong was putting the oil in the pot. When he heard this, he turned his head and looked at Lu Datou.

He originally thought that the person who said this should be an acquaintance, but he did not expect that no matter how much he recalled, he could never find the memory about Lu Datou in his mind.

Since his men were busy with things, he just hummed lightly and continued to concentrate on cooking.

The big boss is here today, so he needs to be very alert.

Lu Datou looked to the left: Fang Jidong's big spoon was flying in his hand. The bacon was moistened by oil and water, giving it a crystal-clear feeling. Coupled with the stored dried beans, one red and one green, it looked tolerable. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Lu Datou looked to the left again. Su Qingfeng had finished frying the sugar.

There is no doubt that this dish is Su Qingfeng's famous trick - braised pork.

Even if this bowl of braised pork was placed in a provincial capital, it would still be famous and could be ranked among the best.

It is no exaggeration to say that compared to other masters' braised pork, Su Qingfeng's knowledge and experience in this dish can be said to be unrivaled.

When the pork belly pieces cut into cubes are rolled in the meat pieces, they are stained with caramel-colored sugar. As the juice is reduced over the fire, a fragrant sweet aroma gradually pours out from the pot.

Along with the bubbling sound of gurgling, many people looked towards Su Qingfeng.

After seeing Su Qingfeng's face clearly, their originally slightly surprised expressions became natural again.

They thought who could make braised pork so delicious.

It turned out to be Su Qingfeng.

That's fine.

Who doesn't know now that Su Qingfeng was poached by the county magistrate because of that plate of braised pork.

During Su Qingfeng's stay at the Taihe Hotel, the fact that he conquered the taste buds of foreign guests with his craftsmanship became known to his peers, and his signature dish of braised pork seemed to be cast in a mysterious light.

Ordinary dishes are so delicious.

What about...the signature dish?
However, there were generals who had experienced the scene for a long time. Even if they wanted to watch the excitement in their hearts, they did not forget about business at the same time. They chopped with the kitchen knife very fast. Look at it, for fear of not cutting their own fingers.

And at this moment, in the crowd, a gaze was particularly hot, almost piercing the head of Lu Da, who was making sweet and sour carp.

Hey!
Ye Wenxing has always been a steady person, especially when facing that fool Lu Datou, he has a sense of strategizing at the palm of his hand.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to squeeze a chef like Lu Datou out of the state-owned hotel back then.

But today, he really didn't expect it.

Damn it, this old leader is celebrating his birthday, how come Lu Datou can participate in it? !

To say that Lu Datou found his own way and got in through connections, Ye Wenxing didn't believe it.

But Lu Datou is standing here...

Ye Wenxing suddenly thought of something and looked at Su Qingfeng.

It's Su Qingfeng!

Among the players, only Su Qingfeng had the ability to bring Lu Datou in.

At this moment, even as calm as Ye Wenxing, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

This emotion was not directed at Su Qingfeng.

It was aimed at Lu Datou.

This is really... Foolish people are blessed with foolishness.

Here he worked hard, managed to get connections, and got into this circle. The key was to face a bunch of master chefs from the provincial capital. .

Although this can be regarded as learning and making connections, I still feel that I am being controlled by others and feel a little frustrated.

But Su Qingfeng's side was different.

Su Qingfeng obviously had a personal friendship with the two master chefs, Fang Jidong and Xie Baolu. When they talked, they laughed and sometimes discussed how to make this dish.

Even Lu Datou also gained a lot.

Lu Datou is actually not stupid, otherwise he would not have become self-taught by relying on family recipes.

It's just that he lacks guidance from others.

Just like now, Fang Jidong is watching Lu Datou making sweet and sour carp, and he can't help but give instructions, "The batter should be thicker, otherwise it won't hang up."

"When frying, you need to heat the oil into the pan, and don't forget to fry again over high heat..."

"The sauce is a bit sour and sweet. When you make it, you can taste it yourself. Not every dish has a perfect amount. How much seasoning do you use for one pound of carp or three and a half pounds of carp? You don't have to try it. Try, how do you know?"

Lu Datou is usually regarded as a representative of talent and arrogance, but when he met Fang Jidong, he did not dare to take Qiao at all.

He is not a fool.

In his heart, he wished that Fang Jidong would train him like a grandson. The more he talked, the more he happened to learn.

Su Qingfeng glanced at Lu Datou and had to admit that he was a little mistaken.

How could this Lu Datou be a fool?

They are very smart.

He is stupid when he should be stupid, and he is also quite clever when he should be smart.

Sure enough, when people reach middle age, they become smoother.

……

Under the big shed, the cold wind blew loudly.

But even this can't cover up the sweat on the faces of many masters.

Even some master chefs took off their coats, rolled up their sleeves, and started stir-frying amid the rustle of wind and snow. This series of actions were completed in an instant, in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

After the banquet was set, some cold dishes and braised meat were brought into the room.

When hosting banquets in rural areas, in some places, a separate table will be moved out to the master chefs and relatives who serve the dishes, so that they will not go back hungry when they finish cooking.

If you really want to count, these master chefs can be regarded as figures of one party, not to mention people like Fang Jidong, who are either from the same school or have a long history of chefs.

Don't underestimate these people. In fact, if you do your best in every industry, you won't be far behind.

Today's banquet is naturally extraordinary.In addition to Su Qingfeng's specialty braised pork, he also made a garlic-fried pork dish.

The meat used is the remaining lean meat.

In this day and age, because of the lack of oil and water in the stomach, everyone especially loves white fat meat.

Sometimes, Su Qingfeng himself would get tired of looking at that piece of shiny, white fat meat that revealed its oil when biting into it, but in the end, the diners were still eating it with gusto, and even praised it full of praise.

Lean pork, which is sought after by later generations, is also meat, but it is always easy to make firewood. In comparison, at the same price, everyone is more willing to eat fat meat.

The ingredients for garlic fried pork happen to be lean pork, garlic slices, and egg white.

It is not difficult to make garlic-fried pork. What is difficult is to master the timing. Wrap the pork in egg white. After heating it, put it into the oil pan and let it spread until it is cooked. The most important thing is to pay attention to the time. Remember not to let it cook. The meat slices taste old and tough.

When the last dish was served, Fang Jidong wiped his sweat and pulled Su Qingfeng towards the remaining round table.

Lu Datou stood there and reviewed what Fang Jidong said for a while. When he realized that the two of them were no longer in front of him, he ran up again.

At first, Datou Lu was a little uncomfortable. He had really become Su Qingfeng's follower.

Is he shameless?
But when he saw Ye Wenxing standing aside with no one to talk to, he grinned again.

If you don’t want to lose face, just don’t lose face.

It is better than Ye Wenxing not fitting into the group.

A group of people were busy cooking together and started to eat vegetables.

Logically speaking, after cooking for yourself, you won't have much reason to eat within a certain period of time.

Very boring.

But today, perhaps because there were so many people and the atmosphere was good, everyone actually ate deliciously.

It's just that maybe it was too smooth sailing today, just like the calm before the storm. After three rounds of wine and everyone had eaten heartily, noisy sounds came from the distant entrance of the village.

Originally, the guests at the banquet hadn't reacted yet and were just focusing on eating and drinking. However, as the noise became louder and louder, they were stunned and couldn't help but poke their heads out and look out of the door to see what happened. Who is it? What a coincidence that he chose to cause trouble at this time.

Looking at the results...

Huh.

Isn't this person the granddaughter of Mr. Xia?
When Fang Jidong saw this scene, his expression was slightly strange, as if he had thought of something, he held a toothpick in his mouth, lowered his voice, and started gossiping.

"Qingfeng, you probably don't know about the relationship between the Xia family, right? That's a... chaos! You kid, don't get involved casually."

When Su Qingfeng heard this, he realized that the chaos at home was probably related to the old leader's first wife and current wife.

They say everything goes well when the family is in harmony, but it seems that the old leader's family... doesn't seem to be at peace. Can this... last in the long run?
Su Qingfeng thought about it and ate another braised duck leg. At the same time, he listened to six directions and looked in all directions to listen to what was going on around him.

As expected, the noisy people stopped immediately when they arrived at Mr. Xia's house.

A young woman with black hair, young and beautiful, wearing a waist-hugging jacket, spoke in a shrewd tone, "Mr. Xia, our family is not deliberately looking for trouble, there is really nothing we can do. Take a look, which girl is like this?" It’s the same as in your family. I haven’t even gotten married yet, and I’m already seeing heaven and earth running towards my brother.”

"Forget it, now we are living in the man's house. We are an innocent family, and we don't have to let people ruin our reputation like this."

Upon hearing this, the man and woman in the room turned red with anger, turning the color of pig liver from their neck to the back of their ears.

These words, in this day and age, are almost considered murderous.

But...it's hard for them to refute anything.

Because at this moment, the daughter of the couple was standing in the group of men, looking with hatred at the young woman in front of her who kept licking her mouth.

After all, it’s the old man’s birthday, so instead of looking at the monk’s face, you have to look at the Buddha’s face.

It was really offending, which was not a good thing. After talking for a while, the young woman finally stopped talking.

Su Qingfeng put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but complain, "You know you have to save face at this time? But by saying so much just now, you have already offended someone..."

In this era, these words were not like those of later generations, where the nature of casual quarrels and quarrels almost nailed the girl to the moral pillar.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl also had a bad temper. At this time, instead of wanting to save her, she opened her mouth and scolded: "You stinky cousin, you are also a broken shoe yourself. You live in your parents' house every day. What qualifications do you have to care about me? Who do you think you are? Believe it or not, I asked my father to..."

"Xia Dan!" Xia Dan's father walked out of the main room and yelled angrily, swallowing all her next curses and threats back into his throat.

The girl named Xia Dan burst into tears when she saw her father coming out. She had never endured the grievances she had experienced along the way, as well as the strange looks she had received from others.

She didn't understand. She was just pursuing what she liked. Why did she seem to be a heinous being in everyone's eyes?

Xia Dan looked at his father with tears in his eyes.

Xia Hetian looked at the aggressive woman in the lead with a solemn face, "What do you want?"

"Change someone else and marry my brother! Our family can't afford this kind of woman!"

Xia Hetian immediately said, "Impossible!"

He was crazy to agree to this request.

Not to mention, my youngest daughter already wanted to express her heart and soul for that young man. From the perspective of reputation alone, marrying into this family was already the best choice for her.

As for what they did today... Xia Hetian already had a guess in his mind.

just wait.

Sooner or later they have to be returned.

But at this moment, the shrewd woman sneered, "It's not your decision to say it's impossible. If you ask me, Minmin is much better than Xia Dan, and she deserves to be in high school..."

The onlookers didn't dare to say a word.

This is a big show.

Who is Minmin?

She is the granddaughter of Mr. Xia.

But judging from the current situation, this Minmin... is at odds with Xia Dan, and her relationship with Xia Hetian is not good either. It is even... very likely that they are on opposite sides.

Just as the people on the table were like running around in a melon field, unable to find the melons to eat, Fang Jidong spoke quietly.

"Mr. Xia, if you really want to talk about it, he has two wives. One was married before liberation, and the other was married after liberation."

The crowd suddenly realized.

I'm afraid Xia Minmin's grandma and Xia Dan's grandma are not the same person.

Everyone looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

　I'm in a better state today, so I'll post it first after finishing writing.See you tomorrow!
