On New Year's Eve, Wuweilou is extremely popular, and there is an endless stream of diners coming here to have New Year's Eve dinner. New Year's Eve dinner can only be eaten by reservation, and it must be eaten within a limited time. Otherwise, the next table has already arrived and you will be kicked out. Even so, there are still customers waiting outside the door, and the cold wind in winter cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the diners.
Wuweilou is a two-story quaint building. The first floor includes the counter, kitchen and lobby. People usually eat on the first floor. The decoration on the second floor is more exquisite, consisting of simple and elegant private rooms, specially designed to receive some dignitaries or prominent figures in the martial arts world.
The reason why Wuweiju's business is so booming is that the food is delicious. In Yong'an City, a large city in Nuozhou, it is known to all women and children that after eating Wuweilou's food, people can remember it for half a month! Even for officials or wealthy businessmen who are used to eating delicacies from all over the world, it is best to choose Wuweilou when entertaining guests. If you encounter a greedy guest and do not come to Wuweilou for the treat, you will have to complain, and you may not succeed. Let’s blow it!
The five flavors of Wuweilou are sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. It is said that the restaurant owner’s philosophy is to use the simplest seasonings to make the most delicious dishes. Perhaps because there are very few messy seasonings, the chef’s careful work Under cooking, the freshness and aroma of Wuweilou's dishes become more prominent.
According to legend, the owner of Wuweilou is the eldest disciple of the current chief chef of the Jin'an Palace, and his skills have even surpassed his master's. However, he just did not want to take away the position of the master's chief chef, so he just opened a restaurant in Yong'an City and never showed up. , the restaurant's back kitchen was mostly taken care of by apprentices, and they were free and easy.
The person who manages the affairs of the restaurant and collects money and accounts at the counter is the boss's daughter. Maybe the boss's food is too delicious. His daughter has a big body and a round waist. She has a trembling fat body when she walks. She spoke with a loud voice. Although she was born as a girl, she had a gangster spirit. She was such a bold and strong woman! If it weren't for the mouth-watering Wuweiju cuisine, this sister's appearance alone could scare away a group of diners.
At this moment, Wuweilou has returned to calm, and the last table of diners has already stood up and left. Because it is New Year's Eve, the boss is also in the restaurant. The boss is a man who looks to be about thirty years old, with a strong and tall figure, a bright look, and a vague look on his head. The visible silver thread seems to tell others that he is actually over forty years old, otherwise he would not be able to give birth to such an old daughter.
Originally, the hotel counter was managed by the boss and his wife, but the boss's wife fell ill and passed away a few years ago. The death of the boss's wife made the boss lose interest in managing the restaurant, and also made his already somewhat aggressive daughter even more aggressive.
The street outside Wuweilou was particularly noisy today. Sometimes there were officers and soldiers passing by, and sometimes there was a shout or noise coming from nowhere. The boss looked out the window quietly, thoughtfully. Several of his apprentices had been busy all day and were doing their own things. A well-built fat man was gnawing desperately with two chicken drumsticks in his hands, and his mouth was full of oil; a young man with an ordinary appearance, who might not be found if thrown into a crowd, was wiping the knife with a clean rag over and over again; a thin-looking man Some funny little men were sharpening knives; a pretty woman was counting the wine jars; a tall man with a dull expression was silently wiping the tables and chairs... There were nine apprentices of the boss in the room. But her daughter was nowhere to be seen. The strange thing was that no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
"Uncle Lu, you're fine." A man came down from the second floor and broke the silence. Hearing the sound, the boss's apprentices suddenly changed their demeanor, as if they might take action at any time. The boss gently waved his hand to signal to the apprentices Don't panic.
The person who came was none other than Chu Boping, who had already settled the rescued person. The boss’s name was Lu Zhengliang. As the rumors said, he was the chief chef disciple of Jin’an Palace, but it was not because he didn’t want to take over his master’s position that he didn’t take up a position in the palace. , but has other identities.
Lu Zhengliang was only a half-way monk in cooking. He was originally a knight in Jin'an palace, and was quickly promoted to a general because of his loyalty and martial arts skills. By chance, he met the chef and became interested in cooking skills, so he worked for the chef and used his free time to study cooking skills. The scary thing is that his martial arts realm complemented his cooking skills and went hand in hand. When he perfected his cooking skills, he also entered the realm of a master in martial arts.
King Jin'an was also surprised when he learned about this. He was no longer suitable to be an ordinary armored soldier. King Jin'an thought twice and decided to let him not stay in the palace, but to open a restaurant in the city, where he could not only let the common people eat such delicious food, but also secretly teach his apprentices, train a group of masters, and become There is a hidden gem in Jin'an. If there is a change in Jin'an, you can wait for the opportunity.
"Your Majesty Lu Zhengliang pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Zhengliang was obviously familiar with Chu Boping. Even though his face was damaged, he recognized him at a glance and was about to kneel down to salute. "Uncle Lu, there's no need to be polite." Chu Boping quickly stopped him. "Uncle Lu, there has been a big change in our Jin'an palace today. My father has been in serious danger, and the chief chef should also have been killed."
"As expected, the situation on the street today is unusual, and I have suspicions." Lu Zhengliang was not shocked at all. He sighed softly and slowly looked in the direction of the palace, then turned to look at the prince. "I am the secret son of Jin'an. Now that the matter has come to this, Lu Zhengliang is willing to look after the prince. Nine disciples and one daughter, a total of ten people, will be at the disposal of the prince at any time."
"Whoever dares not to listen, I will fight to the death." Before the prince could express his position, a loud bell sounded from the kitchen, and the burly young lady walked in quickly. "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you missed Sirong?" Lu Sirong turned to face the prince, pretending to be gentle but actually acting shy. Everyone couldn't help but smile, and saluted one after another, expressing their willingness to die for the prince.
"You are willing to risk your life to follow me today. I swear by the honor of the Crown Prince of Jin'an that I will live up to my kindness in the future. If I can make a comeback one day, I will never treat you badly with official positions, titles, gold and silver, and rewards based on your merits!" Chu Boping With a solemn look on his face, he cupped his hands and made a serious promise.
"I have lived half my life, and the only thing I love most is Sirong's mother, who is just a cook. I follow His Highness today for nothing. I am repaying Your Majesty's kindness, and for that promise to protect Jin'an forever! As for The future of these disciples of mine depends entirely on His Highness's arrangements. I know His Highness's virtue well and will not let anyone down." Lu Zhengliang was so heroic that he entrusted himself, his disciples, and his daughter to the Crown Prince.
"Uncle Lu, the first task now is to leave Yong'an City. I need to take away eighteen people. Many of them are incompetent in martial arts. If they break through forcefully, they will inevitably cause damage. Yan Xingyun, deputy commander of the current city guard, is imprisoned in There is no doubt about Yan Xingyun's loyalty to the East City Gate Dungeon. As long as he is rescued, with his many years of prestige among the city guards, we will be able to pass safely, and we may even be able to take away a group of good men who are still loyal to me, Jin'an." Chu Boping laid out the plan and had absolute trust in Lu Zhengliang.
"This strategy is feasible. Disciples, hurry up and prepare to leave. After a stick of incense, we will follow the prince."
After a stick of incense, Lu Zhengliang's disciples, including Lu Sirong, each carried their own luggage and kitchen utensils, and also carried a long-edged kitchen knife. It was probably not a kitchen utensil, but a weapon.
Everyone left the Wuwei Tower. From then on, the Wuwei Tower, which was once famous in Yong'an City, never opened its doors again, and the building gradually declined. For a long time, the people of Yong'an City never had such delicious dishes again.
