Chapter 651 Warm Family Banquet

There are 12 guests at this banquet today, so Chu Yunfeng needs to make it twice more.

After taking care of the elders, it's the children's turn. Seeing the greedy looks of these three little guys, everyone will smile.

"Sister Duoduo, how mature and delicious are you?"

When asked about the doneness of the steak, Dadan asked Wang Duoduo next to him.

"Both 5% and 7% are good. I usually like to eat 7% mature."

Wang Duoduo thought carefully and then answered seriously.

"Erya, how mature do you want to be?"

Dadan did not report his request immediately, but asked his sister who was standing aside.

"I listen to Sister Duoduo, I want to be mature."

Erya looked very lively and even gestured with the number 7 with her fingers.

"Okay then, you two are 7 mature, I want 5 mature, thank you uncle!"

After Dadan obtained the information about the two of them, he reported it to Chu Yunfeng in one piece. This approach received nods from everyone present.

From this little thing, we can see that Dadan is a kid who is responsible, understands etiquette, and knows how to be a gentleman at such a young age.

"What about you, little brother Long?"

Lao Wang asked Long Ma with a face full of ridicule.

"I want to be mature, brother."

Longma answered very calmly, classifying himself as an echelon of children.

But there was no way, the only ones left were two couples, and I, the soy saucer, had to mix with the children.

Long Ma helplessly shrugged and made people smile, but the uncle sitting next to him did not smile, but showed a troubled look.

How to eat this steak?

Looking at such a big piece of meat, if you were at home, you would either pick up your chopsticks and put it in a bowl and eat it in three or two bites.

Or it is also very good to pick it up with your hands and eat it. After eating, you can drink a sip of wine happily. It feels like a fairy day.

But when he was about to use chopsticks, he found that his younger brother, Lao Wang's father, picked up the knife and fork on the table and started to act.

Is this thing eaten with a knife and fork?

The uncle glanced at the knives and forks placed on both sides of the plate, and pushed his wife, who had already picked up the chopsticks, with his elbow to show her how the two people next to him were eating.

Lao Wang's father skillfully cut off a piece of beef with a knife, then picked it up with a fork, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth.

After two seconds, he nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to cut the beef while chewing.

The uncle and his wife gestured to the knives and forks on the table with their eyes, and then picked them up, ready to follow suit.

But when I was cutting it, I found that it was particularly uncomfortable. I always felt a little awkward when cutting with this knife.

He turned around and glanced at his wife. She had successfully cut off a piece, dipped it in the sauce, and put it into her mouth.

After taking a closer look at the way she was holding the knife, I realized that she was holding it backwards. As a right-handed person, she was holding the knife in her left hand.

After changing hands, the uncle found that the beef was very easy to cut, with no fascia at all. Not only was the meat very tender, but it was also very juicy.

Especially after the cut, the fault inside can be clearly found that it has just passed the heart, and there is only a trace of rosy in the middle, which shows that the steak is fully cooked.

I also learned to dip a little bit of sauce into it, and I felt a complex taste coming into my mouth.

First there is the pungent aroma of pepper, and then there is a rich milky aroma.

This milky flavor is divided into two types. One is the flavor of butter. This flavor is relatively unique and easy to identify.

The other is the taste of beef itself, which has a faint milky aroma, which should be related to its own snowflake pattern, which is the fragrance of fat.

The beef was very tender, tender and juicy. The uncle couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's delicious."

The beef I usually eat either has a lot of tendons or the meat is very old. This is the first time I have eaten beef with such tender meat and full flavor.

"As long as you like it, eat slowly. There are many good dishes to come."

Seeing that his uncle liked it very much, Lao Wang laughed happily, then nodded and let him taste it slowly.

"It's really good. Give me two more later. It's so delicious."

After the uncle tasted the first bite, he cut the knife even faster. After finishing the second bite quickly, he said something that made Lao Wang's smile freeze for an instant.

Two more?

Oh my God, what should I do?
Lao Wang was down for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

The portions of the dishes in the boutique are all pre-ordered, and each person only has this much portion, and there is no more, because Chu Yunfeng only prepares so many ingredients.

But looking at the expectant look on his uncle's face, he really couldn't bear to refuse.

"I'm sorry, I only ordered 12 steaks today. They were all flown from abroad. It's too late to order now."

Chu Yunfeng "timely" rescued Lao Wang and resolved Lao Wang's embarrassment.

"It's okay, I just ate yesterday, I'll give you my share later."

There was no other way, so Lao Wang had no choice but to "bear the pain and give up his love" and sacrifice his own good fortune to satisfy his uncle.

"Okay, anyway, you have the opportunity to eat every day, so I will not be polite."

The uncle believed that Lao Wang was telling the "truth". People like him would not only be able to eat it every day, but they would also definitely eat better steaks than this one.

Seeing the unconcerned look on the uncle's face, one knew that he must believe what he said, but could he really eat the steak made by Boss Chu every day?

Lao Wang’s heart is bleeding
"The steak is ready. Children, please use it slowly."

When Chu Yunfeng said this, he specifically said it to Long Ma, which made Long Ma glare at him hard.

"Yeah~! You can eat it!"

The three children couldn't wait any longer. They quickly picked up the knives and forks on the table and started to show off their knife skills after the steak was served.

The last four steaks had different degrees of doneness, some were 3 points, 7 points, and some were well-done.

The three children were the most lively and had no idea about the image. The knife made a crunching sound when cutting on the plate, as if this was a very fun thing.

At the end, the three of them actually had an alternative competition, which was to see who could make the loudest cut on the plate, which seemed to indicate who had the best knife skills.

Of course, such competitions were suppressed by adults in the end, and then died down.

However, the deliciousness of the steak made them forget their worries. You and I competed to see who could eat it faster.

After the remaining four steaks were ready, Lao Wang gave his portion to his uncle. After everyone had a taste, Lao Wang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and coughed lightly.

He raised his glass and started to say: "Come on, let's drink a drink first."

The reason why Pharaoh did not clink glasses immediately is because he wanted everyone to have a deep understanding of the food in the boutique before tasting the fine wine here.

Especially for an old wine master like Wang Dazhu, who drinks liquor with over 50% alcohol content on weekdays, which is at least two kilograms.

This is not counting the uncle, who is also a very good drinker, with a drinking capacity similar to that of Wang Dazhu.

Although Chu Yunfeng brought a lot of wine, if they really wanted to drink it, it would definitely not be enough for them alone, so they had to take their time and slow down the pace a little.

But things went against their expectations. After tasting the Golden Wind and Jade Dew, the two of them cheered at the same time. They immediately picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured another glass. Then they toasted to each other and toasted again.

"This wine is very good, but the bottle is a little too small, and the glass is a little too small. Only 5 glasses can be poured from one bottle of wine."

Wang Dazhu picked up the empty wine glass and said regretfully, and his uncle nodded beside him.

"Don't worry, let's drink slowly, there are still many delicious dishes in the future."

Lao Wang felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it on his face. If he had to eat somewhere else, he would definitely have enough wine.

Unfortunately, the wine in the boutique is limited, so once you finish drinking it, it will be gone.

"The food is here, the food is here."

"What kind of dish is this? Why does it look so weird?"

As the next dish arrived, Wang Dazhu and his uncle felt very curious. The shape of the vessel was very strange, and it looked a bit like a pressure cooker.

"This is boiled cabbage, Boss Chu's signature dish. You can't find such delicious high-quality dishes outside."

Lao Wang explained it to everyone, and only Long Ma nodded in approval.

When the lid is opened, the way the cabbage blooms instantly is truly astonishing, and one has to admire the exquisiteness of the concept and the superb cooking skills.

"Isn't this just cabbage? There's nothing strange about it?"

The uncle expressed disapproval of Lao Wang's boast just now. No matter how you cook the cabbage, it is still cabbage, even if it "flowered" just now, it is just a vegetarian dish.

"Boiling water cabbage, this cabbage is cooked in boiling water, right? Is this thing also called a specialty dish?
Look at this dish. The soup is light and watery, but it is actually just a cabbage. It comes out after boiling it with boiling water. It is so fancy just to make you look more classy.

Brother, have you been cheated?
How much does this dish cost? "

Wang Dazhu really didn't understand why Lao Wang praised this dish so much, and wondered what was so delicious about such a bland dish.

"Uh~! This dish costs more than 1000."

Lao Wang thought for a while and then directly told the price. Anyway, after they tasted it, they would know why it was so expensive.

This is a little tricky to explain, so it’s best to let them taste it for themselves.

"No, it's just a few cabbages, and they are so expensive? Call the boss up, and I want to ask him carefully, why are they so expensive?
If you want to eat cabbage, there are plenty at home. You said earlier that I would chop up two bags and bring them here, so you can eat as much as you want.

What's so delicious about this clear soup with little water? If you just add some oil, some salt, and some meat and just cook it, it would be better than this! "

Wang Dazhu was a little anxious, and decided that his cousin had been fooled.

"That... is more than 1000 yuan for a small cup, not all of them add up to more than 1000 yuan."

Lao Wang couldn't hold himself any longer. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud. He felt a little uncomfortable holding it in.

"What? This one costs more than 1000? My brother, my dear brother, you usually go to a lot of high-end restaurants, right? Why can't you tell the difference?

Call the boss up quickly, I want to have a good talk with him. "

Wang Dazhu stood up. It seemed that he must see Chu Yunfeng now.

"Sit down, sit down. This dish is different from what you imagined. It costs a lot to make this dish. You should try the soup first."

When Lao Wang saw his cousin so excited, he quickly calmed him down. He would definitely not call Chu Yunfeng about this matter. He would know after he ate it himself.

"Hmm~! This soup is delicious, isn't it boiling water?

Why is it called such a name? Isn’t this misleading? "

The uncle tasted it first and then praised it.

what?
Delicious?

Is this soup that looks as light as water delicious?

Wang Dazhu didn't believe it, so he put a spoonful into his mouth, and his eyes were stunned.

Why is it so delicious?
This isn't boiling water, it's obviously a flavor bomb!
"How about it, it's not bad, this soup is made from chicken, duck, ribs and ham that have been cooked for several hours.

And also use minced chicken and pork to sweep the soup, so that the soup becomes clear and looks like boiling water.

But this is real broth, and the process is very complicated. Most people can't make it well. "

Lao Wang smiled and explained in detail, which dispelled Wang Dazhu's doubts and praised Chu Yunfeng's craftsmanship.

The next thing that came up was the Nine Color Savings Box, and there were two boxes. The style was very exquisite, and it was different from ordinary dishes at first glance, so that the uncle and Wang Dazhu no longer dared to underestimate Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills.

There was no longer any suspicion that Lao Wang had been deceived. Only then did he realize that the restaurant Lao Wang brought him to was indeed a very good restaurant. No wonder it only opened once a month.

The Snowflake Chicken Chowder that comes later is particularly popular with children, and the General Crossing the Bridge dishes are also refreshing to everyone.

When Pingqiao tofu arrived, Wang Dazhu and his uncle ate it the fastest, and they were burned immediately, which made Lao Wang smile bitterly.

"Brother, these dishes are exquisite and delicious, but they don't taste good. Can you get me some rice and side dishes?"

Wang Dazhu has already become aware of the dish of boiled cabbage. This place is actually for a high-end meal, and the wine must be very expensive.

So when I saw that the wine was almost drunk without realizing it, my stomach seemed not full yet.

"I knew you were going to say this. It's okay. What's coming later will be some home-cooked food. Don't worry, I guarantee you'll eat well."

Lao Wang has already considered this situation when ordering, so the dishes served later will be very different from the previous ones.

"Fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, boiled beef, pickled fish, mapo tofu."

Home-cooked dishes were served one after another, and the atmosphere on the table immediately became lively. Especially after tasting the taste of these dishes, everyone was full of praise.

Especially Wang Dazhu, after taking a small bite of Mapo Tofu, he immediately ate three bowls of it mixed with rice, exclaiming that it was so delicious.

Fortunately, this mapo tofu comes in two portions, one from two eras, but the taste is equally good.

So these two dishes were the first ones to be eaten up. You and I mixed the rice with one spoonful at a time. They were really delicious.

After the three little guys finished eating the mapo tofu bibimbap, they started a bowl licking competition with each other to see who could lick the bowl clean first.

This meal was very heart-warming, and Lao Wang was particularly satisfied. When he finally paid, Lao Wang made an unexpected move.
