Chapter 188 He Daqing's Brotherly Love

"A hundred strategies are not as good as one new one?" Shang Peng said uncertainly.

"Yes, I know too much, so I think a lot, so now I try to cook less other cuisines and only cook Tan's cuisine, just to be able to truly master one thing. If I could understand this principle earlier, I would not be worse than those brothers." He Daqing explained.

"Hehe...Uncle, I would say you are just making excuses for yourself. If you have talent, it doesn't matter how many you master. What do you think?" Shang Peng teased.

He Daqing's face darkened, and he pointed at Shang Peng and said, "We are normal people, who can compare with you guys who make statements like that!"

"Haha..." The other two burst into laughter.

They chatted for a while, and then the dishes started to be served one after another. Nine-turn large intestine and stir-fried sea cucumber with green onions are the two representative dishes of Shandong cuisine. No matter which Shandong cuisine restaurant you go to, just try these two dishes and you will know whether the Shandong cuisine of this restaurant is authentic.

Note: I don’t know, don’t criticize me, I haven’t eaten them. I went to Shanghai that year and tried the three-shred shark’s fin, but I didn’t get to taste the other two. It was said that the chef who could make them was sick. What a pity!

After He Daqing's senior brother brought the last dish of stir-fried pork kidney to the table, everyone couldn't wait to start eating. He Daqing's senior brother sat there and watched several people wolfing down the food with a smile. There is no chef who doesn't like everyone liking the food he cooks.

After a while, when everyone had almost finished eating, He Daqing introduced his senior brother, Xu Tian, ​​Master Xu.

He Daqing also introduced everyone to Master Xu one by one. After Master Xu greeted everyone one by one, he said to He Daqing: "How come you have time to come here? Don't you work in a steel mill in Sijiu City?"

He Daqing replied: "Red Star Steel Mill. I no longer work there. I now work at the Doubanjiang Factory in Sijiucheng."

"Bean paste? The one from Sichuan cuisine? Or the one from Guizhou cuisine?" asked Master Xu.

"It's a variation of Qian cuisine, a kind of sauce." He Daqing thought for a moment and replied.

"Or the canteen chef?"

"Uh! No, technical guidance!"

"Why are you going backwards? What technical guidance does that thing require? Just getting the proportions right, an apprentice can make it. Why don't you come to me? With your skills in cooking Tan's cuisine, you're a master chef. How about it? Do you want to come?" Master Xu looked at He Daqing and asked.

Factory Director Sun's face was already not looking good. This was poaching right in front of him. He couldn't help but say, "Deputy Factory Director He is our deputy factory director!"

Master Xu glanced at Director Sun, then looked at He Daqing, his face full of disbelief, and said casually: "Even though he and I have been separated for so many years, I should know him better. If he is allowed to have a relationship with someone, that's fine. But if he is allowed to be... Shit... You are the deputy director?"

He Daqing covered his face, nodded and said, "I am mainly responsible for the technical aspects."

Master Xu shook his head and said, "We brothers all thought you were self-degrading. You are a good chef but you chose to cook for the big pot. But after the public-private partnership, the workers became popular. Now our situation is a little better and you have become the deputy director. Oh! You are really good at speaking."

The people at the table frowned. The meaning of these words was not very pleasant.

But He Daqing smiled and said, "You blame me? You didn't believe me when I told you that. How can you blame me?"

Master Xu also said disapprovingly: "Why? You've grown so powerful that you dare to contradict me? No matter how powerful you are, you are still my junior apprentice. Humph..."

"Yes! Yes! What you said is all right. I will tell my senior brother when I see him next time that Senior Brother Xu said that I am a good talker. I wonder if my senior brother thinks the same way? Hi, I'm really looking forward to it!" He Daqing joked.

"You...you...you He Daqing, you only know how to use the senior brother to pressure me. I won't bother with you." Master Xu slammed the table and said in a timid tone.

"Haha..." After saying this, all the fellow disciples burst into laughter.

The other three people at the table realized that this was a unique way of communication between the two brothers. If they didn't have a good relationship, He Daqing would not have come to this restaurant, and he would not have specifically asked Master Xu to cook.

After the two laughed, He Daqing explained to them, "Back then, we had a very good relationship as brothers, but we all had one advantage, that is, we were all afraid of the eldest brother. No matter what the others said, they would not get angry. But if we wanted to let the eldest brother know, then come on. If he doesn't make you cry, then he's merciful. But the eldest brother was really good to us. He was the main disciple trained by the master. We were basically all taught by him. He never kept anything for himself. He taught us as long as he knew it, so we all obeyed him."

Master Xu also picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, Daqing and I are used to playing around. Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate. This glass is for everyone." After saying that, he drank it in one gulp.

Everyone said it was okay and drank it together.

Master Xu went on to say, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am about to start serving. I will go to the back and keep an eye on the food. You guys can enjoy your meal. I will not accompany you any more. If you come to our store next time, just mention my name. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

By the way, Daqing, when are you leaving? Please bring some gifts for my senior brother when you go back. I can’t go recently, so please bring them to my senior brother for me!”

He Daqing replied, "I will rest here for one night and leave tomorrow, but I will not go to your place. I am here for a mission. I will come to pick up the things at 10 am tomorrow morning when I come to your place. You just need to be ready by then."

Master Xu nodded to show that he understood, then he bowed to everyone and went back to the kitchen.

He Daqing looked at them and said, "Do you guys want to eat? If not, let's leave now?"

After they finished eating, they walked out of the restaurant. When they reached the door, Director Sun held Shang Peng's hand and said, "Xiao Peng, we are relying on you. You must help your uncle and us. I will arrange this matter when I get back. I will ask your uncle to cook for you personally. Director Li will also have to go there."

Li Huaide nodded and replied, "Okay, I haven't eaten Lao He's cooking for a long time."

The few of them chatted for a while and then said goodbye and went their separate ways, each doing their own thing. After all, everyone's affairs were not at the same time, and besides, some things could not be known to outsiders!

Shang Peng was dragged by Li Huaide to a guesthouse to stay. Shang Peng found that Li Huaide did not use a letter of introduction, so he just gave his name and pulled Shang Peng upstairs.
