Catering God

Chapter 33 The First Time Seeing Chen Jingyu Smile
Just then, Tang Wenjun's phone rang.

He picked up the phone, glanced at the number, and immediately hung up. Then he turned off the phone and muttered, "Jiang Feng is relieved. I've been harassed by these people all day long. Really, I don't even know where they have gone..."

The task of notifying customers that Black Duck Sauce is no longer available has long been completed.

The price they paid for this was that several salesmen, including Tang Wenjun, had been receiving calls non-stop these past few days, all from merchants.

Tang Wenjun had been thinking of meeting Jiang Feng at a class reunion today and asking him what to do next, but Jiang Feng simply disappeared.

Zhou Mengyao didn't understand what Tang Wenjun was saying, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

It was just caught by Liu Hui who was standing next to him.

To change the subject, she quickly said, "By the way, Yaoyao, I passed by your store in the South Plaza yesterday and wanted to buy some black duck-flavored duck goods, but they were sold out. I asked the clerk and they said you don't sell them anymore. What's going on?"

"Don't mention this matter anymore. My dad has had a terrible headache these past two days."

Zhou Mengyao's thoughts were diverted, but it didn't make her feel any better. Her brows furrowed even deeper.

He wasn't as gloomy as before, but a little more cheerful. "Do you remember I told you before that we also bought the black duck flavor sauce from someone else?"

"Remember, didn't you say the seller was a young man?" Liu Hui nodded. "Didn't you remember last time saying your dad was going to buy the formula from him?"

"I didn't buy any." Zhou Mengyao shook her head and continued, "We buy the black duck sauce from him, including my family and some nearby braised food shops. I don't know what happened these days, but the supply has been completely cut off."

"Huh?" Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, then guessed, "Is he going to take this opportunity to raise the price?"

"do not know."

Zhou Mengyao shook her head.

Since the black duck sauce was discontinued, many customers who liked this flavor have been very disappointed.

If you want to get by with just a little, you can buy some regular flavors like five-spice and spicy, but if you meet a more picky customer, you won’t buy anything.

As a result, the sales of Zhou Mengyao's braised food shop dropped significantly.

Not only her family, but all the braised food shops in the city are complaining now.

"I don't know what's going on, but we can only wait." Zhou Mengyao said with a sigh.

Tang Wenjun spat out the bone in his mouth and was removing the meat from a piece of lamb rib. His hands were greasy and he casually said:

"You can only ask Jiang Feng about this."

Liu Hui finally managed to change the subject. Seeing Tang Wenjun mention Jiang Feng again, she immediately frowned in dissatisfaction, "Tang Wenjun, you are confused. We are talking about Yaoyao's braised food shop. What does it have to do with Jiang Feng? What could he know?"

Zhou Mengyao looked over and seemed to think Tang Wenjun's reaction was strange.

After Tang Wenjun finished removing the meat from the lamb ribs, he looked up at Zhou Mengyao and said calmly:

"You can go back and ask your dad if the guy selling the sauce is named Jiang."

Say it.

He lowered his head and enjoyed the chopped mutton.

Zhou Mengyao and Liu Hui looked at each other in disbelief, and saw surprise on each other's faces.

Zhou Mengyao seemed to have thought of something, her heart trembled, and her face quickly turned pale, "Tang Wenjun, what did you say?"

……

Where did Jiang Feng go during the class reunion?

Of course, it’s with Chen Jingyu.

After finally getting some rest these days, Chen Jingyu kept harassing Jiang Feng on QQ, asking to come to his house to eat wontons.

Unfortunately, it rained for several days in a row.

The weather happened to be sunny today, and because it had rained for several days, it wasn't too hot. Jiang Feng simply took Chen Jingyu out to the suburbs for a barbecue.

A small stream.

The picnic towel was spread flat on the ground, filled with various tools needed for the picnic, snacks and drinks, and a parasol.

Jiang Feng was working the grill with ease. The aroma of cumin and fat dripping onto the charcoal, though a bit pungent, was the most classic barbecue flavor.

"Here, try my honey-grilled mid-span wings!"

Jiang Feng handed the first skewer of finished products to Chen Jingyu who was watching him grill.

Chen Jingyu just took the grilled wings and did not take any further action.

Jiang Feng urged: "Try it, it's absolutely delicious. Although it may not look great, it has the burnt brown texture that Michelin chefs love the most."

Chen Jingyu looked at the bunch of middle wings with black skin in her hand, and without saying a word, she threw them directly into the garbage bag she was carrying.

Jiang Feng's eyes widened: "What a waste."

Chen Jingyu looked at Jiang Feng as if he was a fool.

"I'm not stupid, it's you who's wasting food."

Jiang Feng chuckled and wiped the sweat from his forehead awkwardly with the back of his hand. "I haven't barbecued in a long time, so my skills are a little rusty..."

Although the weather is not too hot, it is still uncomfortable to work by the oven for half a day.

Chen Jingyu took out a handkerchief, walked over and carefully wiped the sweat off Jiang Feng's forehead and cheeks, and whispered, "If not, let's go back to the city and eat ready-made food."

Jiang Feng was touched by the first half, but when he heard Chen Jingyu's second sentence, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

"what?"

How can a man say no?

Jiang Feng immediately ignited his fighting spirit and commanded Chen Jingyu in a very domineering manner: "Go sit down, I will show you today what the Jiangnan BBQ King is!"

Chen Jingyu obeyed and sat back down on the prepared napkin.

I touched my stomach again and seemed a little hungry.

Chen Jingyu looked at Jiang Feng who was still struggling beside the oven, shook her head, and picked up the bag of potato chips next to her without hesitation.

But then...

"Dead fish, the charcoal is on fire, go get me some water from the creek!"

"Dead fish, take the dishes and wash them!"

"Dead fish, I can't take it anymore, the smoke is too strong, come over here and hold me up!"

Half an hour later.

On the picnic napkin were two large plates of barbecue, with various vegetables and meats, which were barely acceptable, although they looked a bit messy, such as the enoki mushrooms that were lumped together, the black beef chunks, and the dry and crispy potato chips.

"Barbecuing is really a technical job."

"Uh-huh."

“Is this skewer of ribs edible?”

"You try first."

The two of them were studying which food on the plate was edible, and suddenly looked up at each other.

They couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Feng smiled because Chen Jingyu's originally fair and delicate face had turned black at some point. Her nose tip and cheeks were all covered with charcoal powder, making her look like a little cat.

Chen Jingyu smiled because Jiang Feng was the same.

Jiang Feng was slightly distracted, paused, and suddenly said: "Dead fish, you know what, you really look pretty when you smile."

This... seemed to be the first time he saw Chen Jingyu smile.

This cold little face like a dead fish, with a smile that I have never seen before, is actually so beautiful.
