Chapter 142: The birthday banquet changes unexpectedly, the cook can’t come?
"Oh,"
"Is this true?"
As Mr. Zhao frowned in front of him,
Xu Yi also felt a pressure like a mountain roar and a tsunami coming towards his face,
Besides,
There's also a bit of a fighting spirit.
Of course,
Considering the identity of the old man in front of him, he was not too surprised, but his expression remained unchanged.
He even ignored the look from Li Xinmin next to him and nodded.
"That's right,"
"If the old man can't trust me, you can go to the hospital for a full-body examination."
"I think the result should be similar to what I said,"
"Okay, okay,"
Mr. Zhao burst out laughing when he heard this.
"Little miracle doctor,"
"I now believe that your medical skills are definitely not just a boast!"
"Actually..."
"The main reason why I invite you here today is not to treat an old man like me,"
"But one of my comrades,"
Xu Yi was also a little surprised when he heard this.
No wonder Mr. Zhao in front of him looked cautious.
"Then..."
"Where is the old man's comrade?"
"This old guy will probably have to wait a while to arrive,"
"Don't worry, little miracle doctor,"
"Today is my birthday party for the old man. You are my son-in-law's friend and my old man's guest,"
"Just in time to stay for the banquet together!"
"In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful,"
In this regard,
Xu Yi had no intention of resisting at all.
Anyway, for him
This trip to Mr. Zhao's place was mainly for Li Xinmin's face.
Many friends, many paths.
After all, the plot also proves that Director Bi, including Director Yang and others,
Next, there will be a stage of failure.
And Li Xinmin,
It was also through his old father-in-law that he succeeded in becoming the director of the steel rolling mill!
And in the plot,
He retired safely and then chose to go into business and engage in smuggling business,
He also made a lot of money!
He even severely cheated Xu Damao and others in the courtyard.
Besides,
The old man Zhao in front of him gave Xu Yi a wake-up call.
His divine Chinese medicine skills
If used properly,
It’s not just as simple as making pills and selling them!
After all,
The richer and those with higher status are more afraid of death.
So,
Only then would the so-called miracle doctor be treated as a guest.
And Xu Yi’s trip,
If we can help Mr. Zhao’s comrades heal their injuries,
I believe it will be soon,
It will also spread throughout the circle of friends of Mr. Zhao and others!
——
However,
Before Mr. Zhao’s birthday party begins,
But Li Xinmin appeared in front of Xu Yi with a frown on his face.
"Something happened,"
"Isn't today the old man's birthday banquet? The family invited a Huaiyang cuisine chef to be the chef and responsible for cooking the old man's birthday banquet."
"But the hotel suddenly called and said that the chef has appendicitis and has been sent to the hospital."
"This..."
Xu Yi also showed a strange expression when he heard this.
How to say,
This kind of thing is indeed a bit unlucky!
After all, the eating habits here in Sijiucheng are still based on Shandong cuisine.
Including the so-called Eight Buildings, they are good at Shandong cuisine.
Unfortunately,
Because Mr. Zhao’s hometown is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang,
So,
I have been craving for a bite of authentic Huaiyang cuisine!
But it’s this side of Sijiu City,
It is not that easy to hire an authentic Huaiyang cuisine chef.
And Li Xinmin finally found such a cook who was good at Huaiyang cuisine after asking around.
I thought I could take advantage of this opportunity to host a birthday party for the old man,
Give your father-in-law a good pat on the back.
But I don’t want to,
How unlucky it was that the cook fell ill and was hospitalized with appendicitis!
And seeing Li Xinmin who was helpless in front of him,
Xu Yi couldn't help but speak.
"Lao Li, if it doesn't work, let me try."
"You?"
Hearing this, Li Xinmin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Brother Xu, this is no joke,"
"I'm telling you,"
"My old man is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang,"
"And there are quite a few guests here who like Huaiyang cuisine as much as he does."
"These people can be quite picky,"
“If the food is not authentic, the old man’s face will also be completely lost!”
It can be said that
At this moment, Li Xinmin also regretted it.
If I had known this,
He shouldn't have boasted about going to Haikou to find a Huaiyang cuisine cook in the first place.
It’s fine now,
The cook suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, and he couldn't even find a replacement.
Is it possible?
Do you want to inform your guests at short notice that the food at today’s birthday banquet has changed?
Or should I say,
Let other chefs try to catch the ducks on the shelves?
At this moment,
Xu Yi also raised his eyebrows.
"I said, Lao Li, who said I don't know Huaiyang cuisine?"
"Really?"
"Brother Xu, please don't joke with me about such an important matter,"
And looking at Xu Yi's confident look,
Li Xinmin also gritted his teeth,
"In this case, I will trust you for once, brother,"
"Anyway,"
"If you can take care of this birthday party for me today, brother, I owe you a huge favor!"
"It's a deal!"
Xu Yi also said quietly when he heard this.
"Old Li, this is what you said,"
"It's getting late now, take me to the kitchen quickly to see what dishes to prepare,"
"Okay,"
Soon, the two of them also came to the kitchen.
I have to say,
For this birthday banquet, Li Xinmin definitely put in a lot of effort.
In the kitchen,
Almost all kinds of ingredients are available.
We even prepared a lot of uncommon and rare things, including some extremely difficult-to-preserve river seafood, fish, shrimp, scallops, etc.!
"Brother, do you think we need to prepare any other ingredients or seasonings?"
"I'll have someone get it done right away!"
When Xu Yi came, his eyes also fell on the ingredients, and Li Xinmin expressed quickly.
"That's almost it,"
“But this time, all the guests asked for Huaiyang cuisine?”
Xu Yi asked curiously.
"That's not true. Many of them are locals from Sijiu City."
"Brother, what do you mean..."
"I see that the ingredients prepared today are quite rich, so I want to discuss it with you and give the old man and the guests a surprise,"
"I plan to cook a total of twenty dishes,"
"Among them are twelve Huaiyang dishes, four Shandong dishes, and four palace dishes. What do you think?"
"This..."
"Just do as you say!"
There is no doubt that although Xu Yi's proposal is a bit risky.
But what if we really made an authentic birthday banquet with three different cuisines?
That would definitely make my old man look great!
"Okay, then just wait!"
Although a little curious,
Can Xu Yi do all this?
However, Li Xinmin also gave Xu Yi enough room to perform,
He even asked the chef at home to help.
As for himself,
He stood at the door of the kitchen from a distance, looking at Xu Yi's flawless knife skills,
I was also secretly relieved!
