The chicken tofu pudding, with its ultimate flavor, awakened the taste buds of Lao Yu's began to surrender to each of the following dishes——
They ate Kung Pao Chicken. According to Lao Yu, this was Master Nan's famous dish. It looked simple, but the taste was completely different from ordinary Kung Pao Chicken. The chicken was tender and the peanuts were crispy. The texture and taste were perfectly balanced.
They ate Four Joy Meatballs, pork meatballs that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I heard that it was one of the classic dishes of Nanfenglou back then. They looked round and plump, tasted salty, fresh and fragrant, and the meatballs were crispy and tender. There were exactly four of them, enough for each family member to have one, so they could be together all day without fighting.
They ate Wanfu meat, a dish that required great knife skills, and its flavor was brought to its fullest with the knife skills. The rich gravy would automatically flow out when pressed with chopsticks. The pork belly was stewed until soft and tender. When you took a bite, the rich aroma of fat mixed in, went from your mouth all the way to your stomach.
……
Especially the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which was the last dish, made them forget their worries and even their souls seemed to float away...
Fu Chao watched from afar and was completely in awe of this family.
He originally thought that the old man had ordered too much food, and was already prepared to get the take-away boxes.
As a result, this family of four worked extremely hard and actually swept the table clean!
It’s really... enviable!
Fu Chao swallowed quietly.
He saw that Old Yu's family was already drinking the last of their Forget-Your-Worries Soup, so he walked forward slowly:
"Everyone, how about the food today? Are you satisfied?"
This sentence is mainly directed at Lao Yu.
Because Lao Shu was once a regular customer of Nanfenglou, Fu Chao also urgently hopes that some of the former customers can eat at today's Nanfenglou and recognize Nanzhi.
Nanzhi will definitely be happy to hear this!
At this time, Lao Yu slowly put down the spoon, but did not speak immediately.
He stared blankly at the vague front, as if he was recalling the Nanfeng Tower many years ago.
But the one who was with him at that time was his loving wife of many years.
Now, although his wife is gone, his son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter are all by his side, so he doesn't seem to have any regrets.
"Among the dishes on this table, only Chicken Tofu Pudding and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were made by your chef Nan himself, right?"
Old Yu spoke suddenly.
Fu Chao was shocked:
"How did the old man know?"
Old Yu smiled mysteriously:
“Of course it’s from what I eat!”
So professional?
Fu Chao asked in a daze:
“Are you a gourmet?”
Old Yu waved his hand:
"What gourmet? I'm just a retired engineer. I just like to eat!"
Fu Chao was amazed that there were experts among the people, but at the same time he was also a little worried:
“So, is Chicken Tofu Buddha Jumping Over the Wall very different from other dishes?”
He had never eaten it, but seeing that Lao Yu had tasted it right away, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, thinking that Nanzhi's training yesterday had failed.
That’s right, it’s only one day, how can the taste reach the level that Nanzhi wants if we rush it? Only after a long time and after the taste is well adjusted, can we improve it step by step…
Hey, does this prove that the concerns of viewers and other chefs are correct?
Fu Chao's mind was filled with all kinds of messy thoughts.
As a result, Old Yu shook his head at him:
"Not much. Look at my family, has anyone noticed it?"
Fu Chao followed Lao Yu's finger and saw three other confused yet satisfied faces on the table.
Old Yu's son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter all said, "Huh? What?"
Old Yu smiled brightly:
"look!"
This also made Fu Chao even more puzzled.
So Lao Yu’s taste level is higher than others?
Old Yu: "Many years ago, Nanfenglou was very big. Every day, we had to welcome and see off countless guests from all over the world. One time, my wife and I came to eat here and met a wealthy boss from the coastal area. He insisted on paying extra money and asked Chef Nan to personally cook him the simplest tomato scrambled eggs. He said that such a simple dish can only be made by the simplest chef..."
Not only Fu Chao listened attentively to this story that was told out of the blue, but Lao Yu's family members were also fascinated.
Old Yu didn't care about their reactions and continued to talk:
"...Chef Nan, of course, disagreed. He told the rich man that the taste of the dishes cooked by other chefs in the restaurant was the same as his. The rich man didn't believe it and threw money at him aggressively, still insisting that Chef Nan should do it. Chef Nan finally agreed and cooked fried tomato and eggs himself. The rich man ate it and praised it highly..."
"and then?"
This time, it was the people at the next table who couldn't help but ask.
It turned out that the people at the next table also heard what Lao Yu said. They were all very curious. They quietly put down their chopsticks and pricked up their ears.
Fortunately, Old Yu didn't care about their eavesdropping and just curled his lips:
"...Then Chef Nan brought out a plate of fried tomato and eggs from the kitchen, saying that it was the one he made himself, and the one the rich man had just eaten was the fried tomato and eggs made by another chef in the store! The rich man was cheated, and he was very angry and wanted to settle the score with Chef Nan. As a result, Chef Nan handed the fried tomato and eggs in his hand to the rich man and asked him to taste it. The rich man did as he was told, and found that the taste of the two plates of fried tomato and eggs was almost the same!"
There was a burst of wows all around!
Even Fu Chao couldn't help but ask:
"So Master Lao Nan did it on purpose? He wants to tell that rich guy that he is just being unreasonable?"
Old Yu nodded:
"That's right. And Chef Nan also said something at the end. He said - 'This is Nanfenglou. Every dish here is of Nanfenglou's standard. If it doesn't meet the standard, he will destroy his reputation.'"
Such determination and confidence made everyone marvel and say that Master Nan was indeed a remarkable man!
Fu Chao was a little absent-minded.
Old Yu glanced at him:
"So do you know how I feel when I eat this meal today?"
"…What does it feel like?"
While Fu Chao was looking puzzled, Old Yu burst into laughter!
"The Nanfeng Tower of the past is back!"
Fu Chao was shocked and immediately showed joy on his face. He waved his hand and gave Lao Yu and his table a 10% discount on the bill.
Old Yu refused.
He thinks it is a very happy thing to be able to continue spending money on Nanfenglou and hopes that they can continue to operate.
Fu Chao nodded and said of course he would.
After paying the bill, Old Yu stood up and said:
"Actually, I lied to you. I didn't taste any difference. I just guessed that those two dishes were made by Chef Xiaonan himself, because among all the dishes on the table, only these two dishes were limited!"
Fu Chao's pupils trembled, and he stared blankly at Old Yu and his family as they left.
After a long time, he finally showed a proud smile! (End of this chapter)
