Chapter 228 Finalizing the Chef of Guangheju
Qin Huairu called Banggeng and Dingdang and asked them to help peel the peanuts.
The man peeled the stalks and ate them at the same time, and Dangdang followed suit.
Qin Huairu hasn't finished peeling the peanuts yet and feels that the peanuts she has peeled are definitely not enough.
The gluttonous Jia Zhang hasn't eaten yet.
"Bang Geng, go find Sha Zhu and ask him to bring more peanuts."
Qin Huairu ordered.
"Good."
The stick ran away.
After a while, he brought back the bag of peanuts that Sha Zhu had put in it.
"My eldest grandson is smart and knows how to get things done."
Jia Zhang looked very happy.
Qin Huairu wanted to criticize Banggeng for being impolite. He asked someone for something and then took the roots out of the other person's bag.
In the end she held back.
If she criticized Bang Geng, Jia Zhang would definitely scold her.
There were not enough peanuts for the Jia family to eat together.
After the three of them peeled the peanuts, Qin Huairu poured them into the pan and fried them.
I am reluctant to pour rapeseed oil.
Despite this, the aroma of fried peanuts still made the Jia family's appetite grow.
Banggeng and Dangdang were waiting by the stove for the peanuts to come out of the pot.
More than ten minutes later.
Serve the hot fried peanuts in a bowl.
"I'll try it."
Bang Geng couldn't wait to reach out and grab it.
"Hey, wait."
Qin Huairu quickly stopped him.
"Ouch."
Banggeng had just grabbed the peanuts in his hand when he cried out in pain from being scalded, and the peanuts fell into the bowl.
"What's the hurry, kid?"
"Peanuts are not tasty right out of the pan. They have to cool down before they become crispy."
Qin Huairu criticized and blew on the stick with her hand.
"Give me half a bowl and bring it over."
Jia Zhang sat at the dining table and gave orders like the Empress Dowager.
Qin Huairu grabbed the bowl with a rag and poured out half a bowl.
Serve on the table.
Jia Zhang poured some peanuts on the table so that they would cool down faster.
Banggeng also imitated Jia Zhang's actions and poured some peanuts on the table in front of him.
Qin Huairu took the remaining half bowl of peanuts and sent it to Sha Zhu's house.
"Shazhu, Banggeng ate some of the peanuts. I'm so sorry. These are the only ones left after frying them."
"I don't know if it tastes good or not, please don't be disgusted."
Qin Huairu said embarrassedly.
"Sister Qin, Banggeng is still a child. He is greedy and it is normal for him to like to eat."
"I love to eat anything you make."
Sha Zhu said sincerely.
Qin Huairu smiled and left calmly.
Sha Zhu sniffed the fragrance of the peanuts, his mouth curled up into a happy smile.
The peanuts fried by Sister Qin are so fragrant.
Several days passed in a flash.
During this period, Chen Jianye went to Ran's house every other day, mainly to ask Ran Qiuye to take a stroll.
He also mentioned that he had found the chef from Guangheju to help him prepare the banquet.
All supplies, including cigarettes, alcohol and snacks, are ready.
Just waiting to get married next Wednesday.
Ran Qiuye also talked about some of her experiences as a teacher.
Finally, the two of them sneaked into the dark and wintery place and had some good time together.
Mainly, Ran Qiuye worked for Chen Jianye.
Chen Jianye wanted to serve Ran Qiuye, but Ran Qiuye refused.
I want to keep the most beautiful moment on my wedding night.
Time flies and it’s Sunday.
After breakfast, Chen Jianye did not rush to the library, but went to the front yard.
"Jianye, come fishing with me."
“Now is a good time to go fishing.”
Yan Fugui greeted with a smile.
"Uncle, go fishing. I still have to take care of the wedding banquet."
Chen Jianye said.
"Well, I'm looking forward to your banquet."
Yan Fugui didn't say much, just picked up his fishing gear and went out.
It is early June now, the sun is not very strong in the morning, and the climate is barely suitable.
Fishermen won't feel too hot when sitting on the shore, and the fish are happy to come out.
Go early and you will get more rewards.
By noon, the sun was so strong overhead that even the fisherman couldn't stand it.
The fish all hid and refused to show their heads.
Chen Jianye arrived at the door of the Bai family: "Mr. Bai."
"Hey, Jianye is here."
Uncle Bai replied with a smile.
"Mr. Bai, when will the chef from Guangheju that you mentioned come over?"
Chen Jianye asked.
"It will be soon. I have an appointment with him early in the morning."
"If you're okay, come in and sit for a while and have a glass of water."
Mr. Bai invited me.
"Good."
Chen Jianye responded and entered the Bai family.
Now he has to ask for help, there is nothing we can do.
About ten minutes passed.
A shabby-looking man with a bald head came to the gate of the courtyard.
"Who are you looking for?"
The third aunt plucked up the courage to ask.
I feel that the man in front of me doesn't look like a good person.
"I came to see Mr. Bai and was asked by him to come and host a banquet for him."
The man replied with a smile.
"Mr. Bai is in that room."
The third aunt pointed and shouted towards Mr. Bai's house across the street: "Mr. Bai, a cook is here to see you."
Before the strong man reached the door of Mr. Bai's house, two people walked out of the house.
It was Mr. Bai and Chen Jianye.
"Master Liao, what a rare guest."
Uncle Bai stretched out his hand from a distance.
"Mr. Bai, I came right after breakfast. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."
Liao Chunquan stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with Mr. Bai.
"Jianye, he is the one I introduced to you, Guangheju chef Liao Chunquan."
"Master Liao, this is the boss who needs you to cook on Wednesday."
Uncle Bai introduced the two to each other.
"Hello, Master Liao."
"Hello, sir."
Chen Jianye and Liao Chunquan shake hands.
"Come inside and talk."
Uncle Bai led the two men into the house.
The three of them sat at the dining table.
"Boss, I'll come over to cook on Wednesday morning and finish by one o'clock in the afternoon."
"What dishes do you want to cook? Order now. How many tables do you need? I'll make a list for you."
"On Wednesday, prepare the dishes according to the list I prepared, and assign two assistants to help me. I promise to help you organize a beautiful banquet."
Liao Chunquan went straight to the point and took out a piece of paper.
There are more than ten dishes written on it.
Let Chen Jianye choose.
"Master Liao is really an expert. There are so many dishes. Let me take a look first."
"Mr. Bai, please help me think about it. I'm going to prepare a table of eight dishes. Which eight dishes would you like?"
Chen Jianye took the list, glanced at it, and found it difficult to make a decision.
He doesn't know much about the cuisine of Old Beijing.
Fortunately, Mr. Bai is here.
An old house where a treasure.
"This Qianlong Chinese cabbage is good, Mushu pork must be ordered, and Kung Pao chicken is also a must."
"You must have fish and soup."
As Uncle Bai spoke, Chen Jianye was responsible for ticking the selected dishes.
It means that this dish must be ordered when holding a banquet.
In the end, Mr. Bai ordered four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes.
"If you want to be more open, you can add a dish of steamed buns after the eight dishes."
Mr. Bai reminded.
"Okay, let's do as Mr. Bai says."
"Master Liao, there are eight dishes in total and one staple food. Let's have eight tables. Could you please calculate how many dishes I need to prepare?"
Chen Jianye handed the list to Liao Chunquan.
"Boss, please wait a moment."
Liao Chunquan took the list and, relying on his long experience in kitchen management, wrote and drew on the paper.
Soon, a new list was written, and Liao Chunquan handed it to Chen Jianye: "Boss, you can prepare the dishes according to this list, there will be absolutely no problem."
"By then you'll need a few more stoves, iron pots, and steamers. I've also written them down."
"Okay, thank you Master Liao."
Chen Jianye took the bill, took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, and distributed cigarettes to the two people at the table.
