"One dish of bird's nest and duck on the stove, one dish of steamed duck and deer tail, so good." The butler praised in a sharp voice.
Chen Jianguo discovered that the butler should be his father-in-law.
Mainly I didn't think about it that way.
Now when I hear the way he talks and the insight he has, it is definitely a father-in-law who has not run away.
I looked at it curiously, but there was no difference, except that there was always a smell on my body that said it smelled a little bit.
It's fragrant, but there's something wrong with the taste.
It's like spraying perfume in a toilet full of shit and urine, but the perfume doesn't completely cover the smell, that's the feeling.
He glanced at the sachet on his father-in-law's waist.
Only then did he react.
I heard that father-in-laws sometimes suffer from urinary incontinence, so they carry a sachet with them to prevent the smell from disturbing the nobles.
After passing the dishes, the master and apprentice waited in the kitchen.
At this time, the people in the host's family usually have a good meal, and they will ask the cupboard to go over, toast, ask questions and so on.
Firstly, to express gratitude, and secondly, to formally get to know each other.
Soon, someone came and called the two of them over.
As soon as I went there, I saw only two tables of people.
There were men at one table, but there were women and children at the other table.
There was a table full of men, and the person sitting at the head seat was an old man with gray hair in braids.
There were eight people sitting around him.
The Jin Youzhi I knew was among them.
And the old man was wiping tears.
I don’t know what stimulated me.
The men next to him, possibly his sons, were comforting him.
Chen Jianguo took a quick look and knew that the old man in the middle was the famous historical figure Prince Chun.
When he saw the old man's appearance, he looked a bit like a thin version of Uncle Yu Qianyu who smoked, drank, and had his hair permed. This was outrageous.
The folds on both sides of the nose are deep and the face is slightly thin.
"May I ask, whose creation are these two dishes?" one of the eight men asked.
"I'm not talented. It's my craftsmanship, but what's wrong with it?" Liu Jiabao felt a little panicked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Nothing wrong, nothing wrong. I haven't seen these two dishes for many years. I just thought of it. Please be patient with me. The dishes are very good. My little friend, are you Chen Baliang?" The old man was very happy. Friendly and without any airs.
"Yes, you can try it and tell me if you are not satisfied."
"Haha, I'm really lucky today. Come on, raise a glass to the two chefs."
After the old man finished speaking, he raised his glass. Except for him, everyone at the other two tables raised their glasses and stood up.
At this time, the butler brought two glasses of water and wine to Liu Jiabao and Chen Jianguo.
The two took the cups and drank with everyone in the host's family.
Then he was invited down by the housekeeper.
After a while, both of them got a little bored waiting.
The butler brought up a tray.
Cover with cloth.
"You two, your craftsmanship is very good. The prince and all the brothers are very satisfied with the meal. This is a reward for you two, please don't dislike it."
When the housekeeper said this, Chen Jianguo felt uncomfortable and felt like he had traveled back to the Qing Dynasty.
I kind of want to feel if my little brother is still there, and I'm afraid that his name will suddenly be changed to Martel Ruoxi.
Liu Jiabao looked at the tray in front of him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
The housekeeper then opened the cloth, revealing a jade Ruyi underneath.
"This is a fine piece of Ruyi."
Liu Jiabao took it blankly, not knowing what to say.
This Ruyi was so exquisite, how could he not know that it was very valuable.
"This is too expensive. I came here today to help my apprentice. I just want to give you the normal meal. I cannot accept this Yu Ruyi."
"Chef Liu is too modest. Let's go on. It's hard for us to return the things the prince has given us."
"this..."
"Little brother, this is for you."
The butler didn't say anything, turned around and opened another tray.
Above is a very thick book.
"Complete Collection of Imperial Kitchen Recipes"
"This is...a recipe?" Chen Jianguo was stunned.
What do you mean, it was Yu Ruyi who gave his master a recipe?
Hey, can you go back and choose again?
I also want Yu Ruyi, but if I can’t afford it, I can just give him a gold bar.
"Yes, the prince knows that you are highly skilled in cooking since you were young. This cookbook is a royal secret recipe that ordinary people don't have. I give it to you as my sincere hope for your future. I hope you can go further and further in your cooking skills."
"Um, thank you."
The two said goodbye to the housekeeper and left the palace.
Before leaving, I paid for the banquet.
They didn't give him any currency, they just gave him a gold bar.
Chen Jianguo finally felt much better.
It turns out that the cost of the meal is calculated separately.
You should have told me earlier.
"Jianguo, what you saw and heard today must be kept secret and cannot be mentioned to anyone."
"Well, don't worry, Master, I know."
Of course Chen Jianguo can't talk nonsense everywhere.
This kind of thing can only rot in the stomach.
And since I go around cooking for people to make money, it’s not easy to publicize it.
Although many people know it, it is indeed a bit bad to be too high-profile.
Today is quite a full day.
I met historical celebrities and gained a piece of gold. Unfortunately, I didn't see the last emperor himself, who was still in prison at this time.
This should be the last time we saw him. According to the history book of his previous life, Prince Chun died of illness in early 1951.
He was 67 years old.
