Chapter 473 Lou Bancheng's Little Thoughts
When I was at the steel mill, I could come to see Chen Jun from time to time, but after leaving the steel mill, it was not so convenient to find Chen Jun.
Go to Lou Bancheng’s house for a free meal?
Chen Jun looked at Yuri speechlessly.
He had heard a long time ago that some foreigners were very friendly, but you can't be that friendly.
I don't feel ashamed to eat at a stranger's house.
But if you are not ashamed, then I am. I am just a chef who cooks at home. What's the point of taking you along?
So Chen Jun decisively rejected Yuri's unreasonable request and told him about several famous restaurants in the city.
Things like Donglaishun and Quanjude Roast Duck.
I wouldn’t say that the food in these restaurants is better than his, but they all have their own characteristics and are very suitable for foreigners like Yuri.
As for medicinal wine.
The foreigner was quite knowledgeable and knew that this thing was a good one.
But it is also a good thing, so it should not be given away easily. So Chen Jun sent Yuri away vaguely.
Just after finishing the reception in the afternoon, Lou Bancheng's secretary came to the kitchen with a smile on his face. The two of them were old acquaintances.
Chen Jun set off in Lou Bancheng's car.
If I remember correctly, Mrs. Lou and Sha Zhu can be considered the descendants of Tan's cuisine.
If the time is not right in the future, we can arrange for Sha Zhu to come to Lou Bancheng's house to cook.
However, Tan’s dishes are quite troublesome to prepare, as many ingredients need to be soaked, so you have to notify them in advance.
When we arrived at the destination, it was Lou Bancheng who opened the door.
Chen Jun glanced at the situation in the yard with surprise and found it rather deserted.
Given Lou Bancheng's status and financial resources, he should have quite a few servants at home.
Lou Bancheng seemed to notice something was wrong with Chen Jun, and took the initiative to explain, "We don't need so many people at home, most of them have other jobs."
Chen Jun nodded: "It's good. We have to keep a low profile these days."
Lou Bancheng also understood the meaning of this sentence and said with a smile: "Although there are fewer people helping out at home, there are still some. If there is any helper work, just give it to her."
Lou Bancheng invited Chen Jun to come to his house to cook today, partly because Mrs. Lou had been ill a while ago and her appetite was really not very good.
On the other hand, it was for the family's daughter, Lou Xiao'e.
Originally, he introduced Lou Xiao'e to a blind date. The man worked in a steel rolling mill, but the relationship didn't work out. I heard that the guy married a widow.
Lou Bancheng was furious when he heard the news. If he hadn't had to keep a low profile recently, he would have arranged for people to go to the factory to deal with that guy.
Marry a widow instead of pursuing your own girl?
When word got out, people would think Lou Xiao'e was not as good as a young widow.
Following Lou Bancheng to the kitchen, Chen Jun saw some ingredients that were already soaking.
After reading it carefully, Chen Jun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If you want to talk about being rich, you have to be someone like Lou Bancheng. All of the things he soaks are top-quality ingredients, and the soaking time is just right.
Obviously, these were all prepared in advance by Mrs. Lou.
"Director Lou, these ingredients were prepared by your wife, right?" Chen Jun asked.
Director Lou smiled and nodded.
Just as he was about to say something, his secretary came in carrying a box.
"Director, this is the dessert that Director Chen brought. It just landed in the car."
Huh? Dessert?
Director Lou took the box with great surprise, opened it and found some exquisite snacks inside.
Judging from the appearance, it is even more exquisite than those sold outside.
Chen Jun explained: "The factory is hosting a reception recently, so I made some extra snacks."
Director Lou nodded, smiled and took the box out of the kitchen, intending to send it to Mrs. Lou to try. He also went upstairs to call Lou Xiao'e to the kitchen to help.
On his side, Chen Jun had already tied on an apron and was ready to start working.
Perhaps because they were worried that he couldn't handle it all by himself, not only were some ingredients soaked in the kitchen, but even some vegetables were processed, which saved Chen Jun a lot of effort.
Tan’s cuisine is the most time-consuming to prepare. It focuses on the inherent flavor of the food, so it requires a high level of skill and the right timing of the heat.
I was busy here when suddenly a head popped in from outside the door.
Chen Jun glanced back and couldn't help but twitching his eyebrows.
Could the person that Lou Bancheng referred to as helping be Lou Xiao'e?
For a moment, many possibilities popped up in Chen Jun's mind, and then he felt that today's meal was a little unusual.
"Miss Lou, I can handle it myself. Why don't you go back to the room and rest for a while?"
Chen Jun is not the kind of man who is indecisive. Now that he already has Chen Xueru, he has no other thoughts.
However, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, if the plot develops normally, they both have some relationship with Lou Xiao'e.
But it is not likely now. Xu Damao married a young widow, Sha Zhu married Liu Lan, and Lou Xiao'e will most likely leave Sijiucheng with Lou Bancheng.
"Did you make these snacks? They're delicious." Lou Xiao'e looked at Chen Jun with great interest, then took another bite of the snack in her hand.
Chen Jun took a closer look and found that Lou Xiao'e was holding several snacks in her hands.
Good guy.
No wonder Lou Xiao'e in the play has a plump figure, it turns out she is also a foodie.
"Well, I did it."
Since Lou Xiao'e didn't want to leave, Chen Jun didn't say anything more. He chatted with Lou Xiao'e while preparing the necessary ingredients.
With his current knife skills, let alone chatting while working, even working with his eyes closed would not hinder him in preparing the ingredients.
When Lou Xiao'e saw Chen Jun's exquisite knife skills, she was immediately attracted.
It's amazing that the kitchen knife can make rhythmic sounds when cutting ingredients.
Although there were only three people at this family dinner, there were too many ingredients to prepare, so Chen Jun made twelve dishes in one go.
Lou Xiao'e smelled such a rich and tempting fragrance, and her brows suddenly frowned.
She seemed to have smelled this amazing fragrance somewhere before.
But I couldn’t remember exactly where it was.
Seeing Chen Jun starting to put the food on the plate, Lou Xiao'e remembered her task and rolled up her sleeves to help.
"Hey, Miss Lou, don't do it. I'll do it." Chen Jun stretched out his hand to stop Lou Xiao'e.
Although Lou Xiao'e came here to help, could Chen Jun really let her help?
It would not be a good thing if you get burned or hit.
"My dad asked me to help, I can't just sit there and do nothing, right?"
Lou Xiao'e seemed to have come back to her senses, and her tone of voice became a little awkward.
"If you really want to help, just go and get me a pot of hot water." Chen Jun said casually.
Lou Xiao'e was obedient and went to find hot water immediately.
Chen Jun shook his head helplessly, took out a porcelain basin, poured some flour and water into it, and started kneading the dough.
