Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

The factory director arranged it personally. If He Yuzhu didn't say anything, he couldn't do anything about it. However, He Yuzhu came here to report, which showed his attitude.

What Li Huaide was satisfied with was not the request for instructions and reports, but He Yuzhu's motives. While respecting him, he told him that He Yuzhu was always his subordinate!

"I'm annoyed just by your sneaky behavior. Get out of here, or I'll have you empty my house!"

Li Huaide waved his hand unhappily. A secret fight does not mean an open fight. He would not and could not stop He Yuzhu from going on a business trip for Yang Weimin.

Yang Weimin is the factory director. He has the right to arrange for anyone in the factory to go on business trips. He has the right to send anyone to a certain unit to do anything.
He could fight with Yang Weimin endlessly, but he had to give face to the factory director and the deputy secretary. This was the rule. Once it was broken, the secretary might come out to support him.
This was something he didn't want to see. The current secretary ignored their fight because it didn't affect the overall situation, otherwise, he would have stepped in long ago!

"Okay, Director, get some good tea next time, just in case.

You are a big boss after all. It would be embarrassing if you didn’t order good tea for guests!”

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he left with the tea leaves. Li Huaide should be able to understand what he meant!
The next day, early in the morning, the Lou family's car arrived. He Yuzhu said a few simple words and left. Making a meal of Tan's cuisine is the most time-consuming!

Before long, a single-family garden-style white villa appeared in front of us;
This is Lou Bancheng's home. The yard is quiet and elegant, and the surrounding environment is quite peaceful.
"Zhu Zi, the master has already told us that all the ingredients are ready and waiting for you to come. What dishes need to be prepared in the morning?"

The one who opened the door was Xu's mother, who was still working as a servant in the Lou family. To be honest, He Yuzhu still had some respect for Xu Fugui and his wife.
When Xu Fugui saw no hope, he immediately gave up his job to Xu Damao and looked for another job;
Not only did he not lose his job, but he got a job as a projectionist at a movie theater. With three members of his family all working, his income was naturally not bad;

No one knows how much money the Xu family has, but at least it's not less than Liu Haizhong's. This is Xu Fugui's shrewdness, which most people can't match.
After the public-private partnership, the Lou family dismissed all the servants, but this one remained strong. Not only that, he also let his son marry the eldest daughter of the Lou family.

The original calculation was correct. Xu Damao marrying Lou Xiao'e would be equivalent to inheriting the Lou family.

However, Xu Fugui had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that his son would be so unpromising that he would lose his sperm very early, leading to the tragedy.

"Aunt Xu, the dish we're going to make today is not simple. We have to prepare it eight or nine hours in advance. Otherwise, the dish won't be as good as it seems!"

He Yuzhu smiled and told me that even if I told you, you wouldn’t know that this Tan family cuisine is official cuisine;
Even the Lou family didn’t have many opportunities to eat it, mainly because there weren’t many people who knew how to cook it;

Of course, Lou Zhenhua knew he could do this, but in order to keep a low profile he had never asked him to do it. He didn't expect that he would suddenly ask him today!
Xu's mother was puzzled. Although she didn't eat much, she had seen a lot of true love.
But what dish requires eight or nine hours of preparation? A state banquet dish?
"Zhu Zi, this is the kitchen. The dishes are all prepared by Madam. If you need help, just ask!"

He Yuzhu is no longer the same person as before, and she can do nothing about it even if others don't say anything;
Xu Fugui had already explained that no one in the Xu family could offend the He family, otherwise...

Thinking of her old man's threatening look, Xu's mother couldn't help but shudder;
The psychological trauma was already there when I was young, so I beat myself to death!

"Excuse me, today's dishes are different from the past. From now on, no one can enter the kitchen. Please tell everyone else!" It was his first time cooking Tan's dishes, and he was not sure what to do, but everything has the same end result. After systematic training;
His cooking skills have long reached the pinnacle, and he has the confidence to compete for the title of national banquet chef.

"Okay, don't worry, I will tell the lady!"

Mother Xu nodded. Perhaps the only person in the family who was not under control was the eldest daughter, Lou Xiao'e. In the entire Lou family, only the eldest daughter was uncertain.

Lou Zhenhua would definitely not go into the kitchen. Without He Yuzhu's call, she and her wife would not go in either. Only Lou Xiao'e was an uncertain factor!

He Yuzhu nodded and walked into the kitchen. The Lou family’s kitchen was really big. Otherwise, how could they be called a wealthy family?

This kitchen was as big as a room, and it had all kinds of cooking utensils and ingredients. For him, this opportunity was too rare;

Even though supplies are not as hard to come by now as they used to be, the ingredients of Tan’s cuisine are very precious and not something that ordinary people can afford;
He had been to thousands of houses and was either rich or noble, but still had no chance;

This made his wish of trying Tan’s cuisine come true, but now he could finally let go and give it his all!

Braised shark's fin, bird's nest in clear soup, king prawns, braised black sea cucumber, firewood-cooked duck, braised beef brisket in a pot, these are the dishes he is going to make;

Tan’s cuisine is famous for its “careful selection of ingredients, generous use of ingredients, meticulous cooking, adequate cooking time, and pure flavor”, and is especially good at cooking bird’s nest and shark’s fin.

Braised shark's fin requires the use of precious yellow meat shark's fins. After six hours of careful stewing, the fin meat is soft and tender with a mellow taste.
Clear soup bird's nest uses top-quality bird's nests, which are soaked and rinsed for a long time to remove impurities before being steamed with chicken soup. The soup is clear and delicious.
. . . . . .

The cooking methods of Tan's cuisine are mainly roasting, stewing, simmering, stir-frying and steaming. They are good at preparing dried food and cooking seafood delicacies with high-quality broth and traditional Chinese cooking.
The dishes are moderate in taste and suitable for both the north and south. They are deeply loved by diners and have the reputation of "no one in the food world can't praise Tan". Tan's dishes were quite popular among dignitaries in the past.

Lou Xiao'e's mother, Lou Tan, is a member of the Tan family. Although she can't cook, her appreciation of Tan family dishes is unmatched by ordinary people.
Therefore, if you want to know whether the dishes cooked are up to standard, just ask Lou Tan;
The first step is to make the soup. Many dishes require simmering soup, which is the soul of Tan’s cuisine. Braised shark’s fin also needs to be prepared in advance, which takes six or seven hours.

As time went by, He Yuzhu's dishes such as hanging soup and braised shark's fin were finished, and the next step was to leave it to time;

For the rest, you can only wait until the soup is done, when the soup from the kitchen starts to emit a unique smell that is very tempting;
Lou Xiao'e, who was reading in her boudoir, sniffed twice, walked out of the room and looked at the kitchen. Is this the chef my father hired?
"Xiao E, don't go to the kitchen. This is what Master He asked us to do. Today's dish is the Tan family dish you've always wanted. The soup is very good.
I haven't had authentic Tan's cuisine for more than 20 years. Today, I'll let you taste the heritage of your mother's family, Tan's cuisine!"

Lou Tan's eyes were distracted, as if she saw her father and brother's pursuit of food. Unfortunately, her father had passed away long ago, and her brother had gone to Hong Kong Island. She didn't know if she could see him again in her lifetime. She was very happy to see that the Tan family's cuisine had successors! (End of this chapter)
