The boss cooks, and the bankrupt company opens a state banquet restaurant

Chapter 232 Uninvited guest, another reminder
For this dinner, Miss Cai ran home and changed into a very beautiful burgundy dress.

The hem of the skirt reaches the calf, giving it a somewhat casual feel.

There are a few laces on it, which makes it look grand.

"Miss Cai, please take a seat." Ling Shuyu pulled out a chair and invited the other party to sit down.

The seats here are also very particular. When it comes to delicious food, everyone sits in the direction of the kitchen. Because food needs to be served here, people from the company are naturally responsible for serving the food and setting the plates.

Everyone vacated the seat due north with a tacit understanding. This seat was reserved for Boss Su who was cooking today.

Next to Boss Su's seat was the host of the banquet, Fang Chang, and his wife Jiang Yuan sat among the girls from the delicious food.

Just sit in the other seats casually. After all, this is just a gathering between friends. There are not so many rules to talk about. Miss Cai glanced at it and sat next to Zhang Li.

Because when she was in the service area before, she had a deep impression of this little girl, and Zhang Li was a talkative person and could talk well.

After Miss Cai took her seat, Zhan Yang came not long after.

As soon as Zhan Yang, wearing a black suit, entered the venue, everyone present immediately clapped their hands.

"As expected of Chief Zhan, you have to come last, and the fun is the finale!"

Zhan Yang gave Fang Chang a fierce look with a straight face, "Come on! We're still a deputy department, so we don't want to talk nonsense! Besides, I'm afraid of being embarrassed if I come early, hehe."

Taking off his coat, Zhan Yang sat down next to Fang Chang and took out two bottles of wine from the bag in his hand, "What time is it today?"

"Okay, who can drink from these two bottles of yours?" Fang Chang pretended not to see Jiang Yuan's murderous look and opened both bottles of Maozi, "It's different after you get promoted!"

Zhang Li lowered her head and looked at her phone, "You guys sit down first! The boss is calling to serve the food."

"I'll go too." He Shuting also stood up to help.

There was a commotion, and almost everyone got up and ran into the kitchen.

Su Chen, on the other hand, strode over like a rebel, "Everyone is here! Where's Zhang Yi, why didn't you come up?"

Fang Chang placed a cup of poured Mao Zi in front of Su Chen, "Zhang Yi said making money is important, haha! He won't come for the meal today, just leave a dish for him later."

Su Chen was a little stunned.

This meal was a bit strange, to celebrate Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi was not there.

It made Zhan Yang blush a little, "It's like celebrating my promotion, haha."

Fang Chang put his arm around his shoulders, "What nonsense does my brother say? Two in one! I celebrate Zhang Yi and you too! Huh?"

Seeing the dishes starting to appear on the table, Fang Chang said with some surprise, "Boss Su, you haven't seen these dishes before? Can you please introduce them?"

It can't be said that Fang Chang has little knowledge. After all, some dishes have lost the appearance of their original ingredients. For example, in the dish that was just served, you can only see inch-long garlic sprouts and meat stir-fried together, but you can't tell what kind of meat it is.

"This is it. This is stir-fried fish with garlic sprouts."

"Water fish?" Miss Cai tilted her head curiously, "What kind of fish is water fish?"

Her question fully exposed Jingzhou people’s lack of knowledge about aquatic food ingredients.

"Water fish are turtles, also called turtles, bastards, etc." Fang Chang said.

He bought all these things, and he was very clear about it.

Many dishes were placed on the table, and after all the delicious employees returned to their seats, the table seemed to be full of people.

When buying this kind of round table, Ling Shuyu bought it as a table for ten people, but the diameter of the table is slightly larger, so it can seat twelve people without being crowded at all. Now it can be said that it is just right for so many people.

"It's not easy for everyone to sit together today. How about we let Boss Su say a few words and then we can have a dinner!" Fang Chang said.

"it is good!"

"Boss Su, tell us a few words."

"Say a few words, boss, I love to hear you talk!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Su Chen stood up with a little embarrassment. Before he could open his mouth, he saw another person coming in from the door, and he was still an unknown person!
"Oops! Sorry to bother you! Sorry to bother you all!"

The visitor was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a pair of plastic brown wood-rimmed glasses and a black woolen coat. He looked like a civil servant from a TV series.

"Director? Why are you here?" Cai Sirong was chatting happily with Zhang Li just now. When he saw that it was his old leader, he immediately stopped smiling.

Wang Jianguo turned to smile and said, "There is an urgent document in the station that I want to hand over to you. I thought it would be inappropriate to disturb you now that I'm off work, so I might as well run over and deliver it to you. I hope it won't disturb your young people's gathering. ah!"

While talking, Wang Jianguo put a file bag on the table in front of Cai Sirong, "I'm just a little anxious about the file. Don't rush to read it. Just go home and understand it in the evening."

Cai Sirong groaned in confusion, not knowing what to say.

After all, she is the top leader of the TV station. Even if something happens, she will first go to her own junior leaders and then report to them at all levels. That is to say, she has had a few more contacts with senior leaders recently because of the snowstorm in Jingzhou.

Everyone looked at Wang Jianguo.

Especially Su Chen, thinking why is this person so strange? You can just leave after all the things have been delivered, why are you still standing there?

Fang Chang was also speechless. What's going on with the leaders of the TV station? Just send the documents to your subordinates in person. Now that you've finished talking, you should leave quickly. If you stand here motionless, can we start dinner?

This embarrassing atmosphere lasted for nearly two or three minutes, and Wang Jianguo stood there motionless.

Go, don't go.

Even if I sit down, he won’t sit down either.

He just stood there, looking at this person, then at that person.

Su Chen couldn't bear the embarrassment anymore, "It's getting late. I think if Director Wang hasn't eaten yet, why not just have a casual meal here?"

Su Chen also wanted to say that if he had eaten, he would not force him to stay, but before he could say anything, Wang Jianguo immediately patted his thigh, "Oh! I left in a hurry today and really didn't eat, so I can't be more respectful. I obeyed!”

After that, he went to move a stool under another table and placed it directly between Zhang Li and Jiang Yuan, "Thank you, Boss Su, for your warm hospitality! Our main purpose here in the past few days was to promote you and your company. Today It’s really extraordinary at first sight! If Boss Su is not busy someday, be sure to give us a chance to interview him!”

After saying that, he turned to look at Cai Sirong seriously, "You are responsible for this interview."

"Roger it!" Cai Sirong said solemnly.

She was going crazy now. Why did the big boss suddenly come over and suddenly sit next to her? How could she still eat?
Su Chen was not polite at all when he saw that Wang Jianguo was here to deliver something, even if it was an urgent document. He was clearly here to grab some food and enjoy it!
But after all, he is also the director of a TV station, and he has control of the public opinion of the city, so it is difficult to say anything to refute face.

"There's no need for an exclusive interview." Su Chen declined with a smile, "It's not something worth bragging about, but your coming here to have dinner will make our company prosperous, Zhang Li? Hurry and get the tableware for Director Wang."

Zhang Li agreed, turned around, grabbed a set of tableware from another table, and placed it in front of Wang Jianguo.

Wang Jianguo licked his lips, "Where were you just now? Keep going, leave me alone."

Su Chen stood up again, and this time he picked up a wine glass. It was just beer. "Today"

"Oh! Boss Su! I just said that if I want to see you, I have to take advantage of the meal time, otherwise I really won't be able to see you."

The words were interrupted again!

Su Chen took a closer look and saw that there were three people coming in this time, but he only recognized one of them.

That is Liao Zhenhua, the secretary of the development zone.

"Secretary Liao? What are you doing?"

Liao Zhenhua did not mention the purpose of his visit, but made an introduction, "This is our city's leader in charge of urban construction and development, Secretary Zhang. This is the chairman of Jingzhou Energy Group, Mr. Gong. You two, this is me. As I told you, the boss of the delicious company, Su Chen, is Boss Su."

Secretary Zhang smiled and went over to shake hands, "Boss Su is a real young talent! I have told Comrade Zhenhua a long time ago that I must make an appointment with you. The development of the development zone cannot be separated from the delicious company."

Mr. Gong also came to shake hands, and Zhan Yang was so frightened that he immediately got up to make room, "Boss Su! Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times! Last time, our Jingzhou Energy successfully completed the highway rescue business with the coordination and coordination of Meililai. I have been thinking about it." Let’s see if we can reach strategic cooperation with you. I can see you today thanks to Secretary Liao’s favor!”

Secretary Liao then said with a smile, "We are here today to praise this comrade who drove supplies to the service area during the snowstorm!"

Zhan Yang stood behind several people. He was obviously an ordinary worker watching the power station on the mountain a few days ago, but now he was suddenly having dinner with the group leader, shaking hands and chatting with the district and city leaders, and his whole scalp was numb.

My mouth trembled and opened several times, but I couldn't open my mouth. I didn't know what to say.

Su Chen also took a deep breath.

He finally figured it out. People are here to catch you while you are eating!
But there was something he didn't want to understand. How did the news about setting up a banquet here leak out? Why did so many people suddenly come out, and they were all very high-status people?
"Zhang Li, move the chairs and prepare tableware for the leaders."

Secretary Zhang took a step back and stretched out his hand to stop Su Chen, "No, no! The purpose of our trip is to meet you, Boss Su, and then visit this pioneer employee of Jingzhou Energy. Why stay for dinner? Inappropriate!”

Secretary Liao also nodded, "That's right. It's not appropriate to come here and eat from you."

Then came Mr. Gong, "Oh, it's inconvenient for you two, but it's convenient for me! In this way, no matter how much this meal costs, I will pay for it myself and treat it as a treat for everyone. Wouldn't that be great?"
Besides, it’s rare to meet and have a meal with you two. Whether it’s our Jingzhou Energy or Boss Su’s delicious food, there are still many things that I would like to ask you for advice on the future development direction. "

Su Chen looked at the three of them as if they were performing, two declined and one persuaded.

You obviously discussed it before you came here, so why are you acting like this now?
But after all, Su Chen is the boss, and he must cooperate when necessary, and he cannot turn a blind eye.

"That's right. What Mr. Gong said makes sense. Everyone is here. Why don't we Chinese people stop eating when we come to visit? Bring more tableware!"

Zhang Li moved chairs for several people in a daze, and everyone moved closer to each other, and then placed tableware in front of everyone.

"Keep going." Secretary Zhang said, "Where did you go? Continue. Don't let us disturb everyone's dinner."

Su Chen was holding the wine glass and wanted to stand up again, but sat back down half way through.

I thought that if I stood up and spoke, there might be some kind of magic spell, and if I stood up again, someone would definitely come!

Just sit there this time.

"Isn't this an introduction dish? Let me introduce it to you. This dish is called stir-fried fish with garlic sprouts. Isn't that what I was talking about just now?"

In fact, the dish of stir-fried fish with garlic sprouts is probably the pinnacle dish of Cantonese stir-fried cuisine.

The soft-shell turtle meat marinated in egg white is fried in hot oil until it is six-cooked, and then stir-fried in a wok over high heat.

Heat oil and add onion, ginger and garlic. First stir-fry garlic sprouts for three to five seconds. Add six-mature turtle meat, then add cooking wine and stir-fry for another three to five seconds. Finally, add refined salt, Ajinomoto, stock and pepper to the pot. Stir-fry the flour for another three to five seconds.

Finally add a little water chestnut powder and the dish is done.

Apart from the handling of the soft-shelled turtle, the whole process of this dish, from frying to stir-frying, takes less than two minutes.

I am experiencing the essence of Cantonese stir-fry: fast!
Whether you are frying or adding various condiments, you must move quickly. You only stir-fry and stir-fry two or three times each time. The dishes made in this way have very few types of condiments added and taste almost the same. The authentic taste of the ingredients.

After listening to Su Chen's brief introduction, everyone took their chopsticks to the dish in the middle of the round table.

So many people appeared out of thin air, which directly meant that each person had only one chopstick, and the plate was immediately empty.
"Tsk! This turtle meat is so tender and smooth, and the taste is also very delicious. To be honest, I personally think it is several grades higher than the turtles at Jingzhou Seafood Restaurant." Mr. Gong chirped a few times. mouth.

The delicious smell of fish left in his mouth made him savor it endlessly, but unfortunately the plate was already empty.

I can only compare it with the seafood restaurants I have visited several times in my mind.

I realized that this was the real soft-shelled turtle. I had eaten nothing like that before!

Forget it if it’s not too fishy, ​​sometimes the turtle meat is so old that you can’t even bite it!
"It really tastes good. It's really rare to be able to eat turtle with this kind of flavor in Jingzhou!" Secretary Liao said with emotion, "I had a very comfortable meal at Boss Su's on the third floor last time. The delicious food brings good business." Reason.”

Fang Chang was also a little unaccustomed to this kind of scene.

Originally, he was planning to have a few drinks with his brother Zhan Yang, but now Zhan Yang is sitting there motionless like a grandson, and Fang Chang has lost interest.

Immediately afterwards, Su Chen introduced all the dishes one after another.

Every time I introduce it, everyone passes by with chopsticks.

This kind of Cantonese dish, with Su Chen's slight improvement, unexpectedly received unanimous praise from everyone.

Everyone originally thought that this would be a legendary high-end dinner, with various toasts to be exchanged, but it turned out to be a disaster, and more than 20 dishes were eaten in minutes.

This also made Aunt Fang very happy.

It seems that tomorrow’s banquet will be loved by relatives and friends!

Only half an hour had passed until the meal was over, and everyone's stomachs were barely full.

Su Chen will definitely never cook again. If he continues cooking, there won't be enough ingredients for tomorrow's entrance banquet.

Several employees from Delicious didn't like this kind of occasion very much. After the meal, they all went to the second floor to chat and play cards or something.

Su Chen chatted with several leaders for a while and prepared to see off the guests.

Secretary Zhang stopped at the elevator building and looked at the various photos hanging on the wall, "How about we take a photo too?"

"my pleasure!"

Su Chen took photos with the leaders. In this photo, the secretary seemed to have no intention of leaving.

"Boss Su, your company may not be the largest in Jingzhou, but its evaluation is definitely the best."

Su Chen was a little unsure of what the secretary meant, so he didn't respond and just laughed a few times.

"I made a special inquiry before I came here. It seems that Boss Su has not registered as a member of the association in Beijing?"

Su Chen nodded, "I don't have time right now. I'll go there when I have time later."

Behind Secretary Zhang's hands, Mr. Gong helped press the elevator button very considerately.

The number above shows [2], and it is slowly going up layer by layer.

"Boss Su, I think your banquet is very good. In such a tall building, don't you have the idea of ​​opening several banquet halls?"

Su Chen looked calm and calm on the outside, but was full of suspicion in his heart.

Ballroom?
Why is everyone talking about the banquet hall? Secretary Zhang is not the first, but he is definitely the person with the highest status to say this.

"It's ready, but now that we are preparing for a famous cuisine project, the banquet hall should be pushed back a little."

Secretary Zhang nodded, "If you have any difficulties, remember to come to the city and tell them. We advocate the development of good companies."

After all, the elevator stopped at the 19th floor.

Wang Jianguo from the TV station also entered the elevator.

When Secretary Zhang turned around, he looked at Su Chen with a smile. Just as the elevator door closed, he said another sentence.

"Three months, the banquet hall is the latest. It needs to be completed in three months. Otherwise, it will be useless."

As soon as the words fell, the elevator door closed.

Su Chen stared at the gradually declining elevator numbers, and his mind started to spin.

Many people have told me about the construction of the banquet hall, and they are all people in high positions. Forget it once or twice, they have all hinted like this. If I don't take any action.

Isn't that a pure fool?

Su Chen immediately dialed Ling Shuyu's phone number.

Ballroom.
Haha, it’s not just a matter of tens of millions, let’s see what the Chinese General Culinary Association is up to! ! !

Of course.

Everyone was absentmindedly eating this dinner, but there was really nothing they could do about it.

After all, this is just the warm-up phase, the real challenge is still tomorrow.

Xiaobin’s college entrance party!
