Chapter 143: A surprise at the birthday party, who is the cook?

Chapter 143: A surprise at the birthday party, who is the cook?
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Although Li Xinmin has no knowledge of cooking,
But when you see the smooth knife skills, you will know that it is not something that can be mastered in a short period of time.

A big stone in my heart fell to the ground.

at least,

I have known Xu Yi for such a long time.
The other party doesn't seem like the kind of person who likes to make boasts!
Thus,
Today's birthday banquet is considered to be a stable one!
In addition to Li Xinmin,

The other kitchen helpers saw that today's chef had been replaced by a young man in his early twenties.

I was somewhat reluctant in my heart.

however,
After seeing this knife skill, many people also dispelled their contempt in their hearts! ——
It was noon.

Most of the guests in the courtyard have arrived.

of course,

Because this birthday banquet was held in the courtyard where Mr. Li lived, ordinary people could only leave gifts and were not qualified to leave food at all.

The guests who are invited to stay here,

Almost all of them are Mr. Li’s relatives, friends, old comrades-in-arms, old subordinates, etc.

It's just lunch time.

An alluring aroma wafted out from the backyard kitchen.
This also made many people open their eyes wide and couldn't help but start talking about it.

"Just smelling this... the chef who came today is quite skilled!"

"you do not say,"

"I heard that the old man's son-in-law specially invited a chef who specializes in authentic Huaiyang cuisine to celebrate the old man's birthday!"

"We are lucky enough to have a table of authentic Huaiyang cuisine today!"

"Who says it's not?"

"I've long been tired of the food in the Eighth Building. It's a good opportunity to change the taste today!"

"Haha, you guys..."

Mr. Zhao, who heard everyone's discussion, also laughed happily.
After all, as the host,
The food prepared by the chef we hired was well received by everyone before it even hit the table.

He is also proud of it.

quickly,

The food was served to the table one by one by the kitchen helpers.

And at this moment,
Looking at the exquisitely shaped dishes in front of you, which look like works of art,

Many people's eyes lit up.

original,

When they smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen, their hearts were filled with anticipation.

And now,
Seeing the appearance of the dishes, I suddenly felt itchy.
I can’t wait to start eating!
"alright,"

"It's almost time, let's eat,"

Noting the reactions of the crowd,

Mr. Zhao also laughed and was the first to pick up his chopsticks.

After seeing today's birthday boy speak, everyone became impatient and started to order the food on the table.

After a while,

There was another round of exclamations.

"This Wensi tofu is no worse than the one I had in Jiangsu and Zhejiang,"

"And your knife skills are absolutely amazing!"

"Tofu shreds are thinner than hair, they can even pass through the eye of a needle!"

"And these three sets of ducks,"

"I thought no one in this city could make the essence of this dish. I never expected it..."

"There are also crab meat and lion's head, squirrel mandarin fish, crystal braised pork, eight-treasure gourd duck, and pine nut corn. Not only the knife skills and cooking time, but also the taste of each dish is perfect!"

"I really want to meet the chef who is the head chef today,"

"I'm afraid it wouldn't be too much to call him the imperial chef, right?"

"More than that!"

Just as everyone was discussing, a voice couldn't help but sound out.

"You guys are so busy with these Huaiyang dishes that you didn't notice that the chef also prepared other good things, right?"

"This is fried double crisps, nine-turn large intestine, scallion-fried sea cucumber, and fish slices in wine."

“It’s not any worse than what the chefs at the Eighth Building make!”

"There are also braised fat goose, braised shark's fin, pork tenderloin, and stir-fried phoenix tongue."

“They are all authentic royal court dishes!”

A word to wake up the dreamer!

It can be said,
Among the guests present,
Many of them are of high status and are also gourmets, so they can naturally taste the original flavors of these dishes.
Endless aftertaste!

"Wait a minute..."

"Today's table has Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, and imperial court cuisine. How many chefs did you hire?"

"Old man,"

"Can you explain it to everyone, just to satisfy everyone's curiosity?"

Hearing this, Mr. Zhao naturally would not spoil everyone's interest, and turned to look at his son-in-law.

"Xinmin,"

"Go to the kitchen and ask the chef to come over and introduce him to everyone."

"Hey,"

"Dad, wait a minute. I'll get the master over here."

Right now,

Li Xinmin was also extremely grateful to Xu Yi.

Especially after seeing the reactions of the guests present,

I couldn't help but feel lucky.
I had previously invited Xu Yi to attend my father-in-law's birthday party.
What a wise thing to do.

if not,

Not only is there no good solution to today's sudden change,

I'm afraid the mood of my father-in-law's birthday party will be ruined.

Not like now,

It was a scene where both the host and the guests were having a great time!

"Brother Xu,"

When Li Xinmin came to the kitchen, he saw Xu Yi still busying himself and asked curiously.

"The food is already on the table,"

"What are you..."

"Oh?"

"This is the old man's birthday party, so the gifts I gave him before were really not good enough."

"It just so happens that there are still a lot of ingredients left in the kitchen."

"I'm going to make a birthday peach for the old man to celebrate!"

Xu Yi also said quietly.

of course,

This birthday peach was almost ready from the beginning.
It is also freshly baked at this moment.

It is worth mentioning that,
Although this longevity peach is made of flour,
But after Xu Yi's hands,
It is also rosy in color and lifelike, and looks somewhat similar to the legendary fairy peach!

"Ok?"

And when Xu Yi held such a huge birthday peach,

When they arrived at the main hall, many people couldn't help but widen their eyes.

On the one hand, it was because of the longevity peach in Xu Yi's hand.

On the other hand, I didn’t expect that the chef for today’s birthday banquet would be so young!

To know,
The dishes on the table today include Huaiyang cuisine, Shandong cuisine and imperial court cuisine.
And each one is quite authentic.
All the gourmets present couldn't find any fault with it!

however,
All this was done by a young man in his early twenties.
I am afraid……

Even if the other person has learned cooking since birth, he or she can't do all this, right?

"hiss--"

Mr. Zhao, who was sitting in the main seat, was also a little puzzled when he saw Xu Yi coming with a birthday peach in his hand.

"Little Doctor Xu,"

"Why are you the one cooking today?"

"dad,"

"The hotel called us earlier and said that the cook had acute appendicitis and had been sent to the hospital,"

"I can't find anyone to replace him for the time being,"

"so,"

"Brother Xu volunteered to take on the cooking job,"

"hiss,"
