From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 91 Teach Senior Brother (please vote for me)
  In the cafeteria, Fang Jian and his family looked at the various dishes on the table, their mouths were full of food and they were smiling happily.

Fang Jian's son was also a fat boy. He was mumbling while eating vegetables.

"It's delicious. The canteen in dad's factory is delicious. It's better than the food cooked by mom and grandma."

Hearing what her eldest grandson said, grandma was a little unhappy: "You kid, grandma is not a chef, how can you compare with your dad and the master chefs in their cafeteria?"

Fang Jian said to his son: "You kid, don't just sit around and eat. I'm telling you, you have to work hard for me this time for the high school entrance examination. Dad specially spends money to celebrate your birthday this time, just to encourage you to take the high school entrance examination." Do well in my exam."

The fat boy promised: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely pass the key points in the high school entrance examination."

When the grandparents heard this, they all immediately started to praise him happily.

"That's right, take exams well and go to a key high school. When the time comes, your grandparents will treat you to better food."

"That's right, grandma and grandpa will buy whatever you want to eat then."

"Grandpa will take you to BJ when the time comes."

"Grandma and grandpa promise you that they will take you to BJ when the time comes."

When the fat boy heard the four old people's promise, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, grandparents."

After various stir-fried dishes were served, Li Huidong then served some big dishes, such as braised beef, stir-fried spicy chicken, and prawns.

Several major dishes were served in turn, and Fang Jian's relatives and friends were all dizzy.

Fang Jian's sister, who was sitting at the table next to her, said, "Brother, is the food in your factory cafeteria so good?"

Before Fang Jian could say anything, the Fang family's father said, "What are you talking about? Can the canteen usually eat like this? Your brother spent money on this meal today."

Fang Jian said: "The main reason is that the chefs in the cafeteria are really good at their craftsmanship. Today I am bringing my parents over and inviting you all to come over for a meal. We will get together as a family and celebrate my kid's birthday by the way. Let's work together to encourage him so that he can pass the high school entrance examination well for me."

Sister Fang Jian immediately said to her nephew, "Did you hear that? Your dad spent a lot of money to get you into a key high school. You have to work hard."

The fat boy was eating the shrimp and was a little unhappy: "Oh, why do you always say that? I understand."

Naturally, grandma and grandma protect their grandchildren.

"Okay, okay, don't talk anymore, I just have a good meal today."

In addition to various main dishes, Li Huidong also served some small seafood dishes, such as hibiscus scallops and stir-fried swimming crabs.

But as he ate, Fang Jian found that his parents and father-in-law used chopsticks less and less.

Fang Jian was a little surprised and asked: "Mom, Dad, why don't you eat?"

My father-in-law said, "You eat yours. We are old and it is not good for us to eat so many meat dishes."

Fang Jian immediately said, "Dad, I'll let them serve some light dishes."

Fang Jian's mother said: "It would be great if I could have some soup. It would be better if it is a little appetizing. Today's dish is too rich and we can't eat it."

Just as he was talking, Lin Jiacheng and Zhang Lei came out with the dishes to serve.

"Come on, Director Fang's soup is here. This dish is specially made by Master Feng for the four elderly people and children today."

With that said, Lin Jiacheng and Zhang Lei placed two plates of vinegar and pepper fish on two tables respectively.

As soon as the vinegar and pepper fish was served, the lively scene immediately calmed down.

Just looking at the presentation of the vinegar and pepper fish, everyone in Fang Jian's family was amazed.

On the plate, the fish head and tail are placed at both ends, looking up as if they are about to jump out of the soup.

On the plate was milky white soup and looming white fish meat.

The most important thing is that as the heat rises, a faint vinegar smell emerges from the soup. It is not pungent, but the slightly sour taste is somewhat attractive.

After being stunned for a moment, Fang Jian asked a little strangely: "What kind of food do you have?"

When Lin Jiacheng saw the faces of everyone present, he was quite proud and said, "Oh, this is an old dish, fish with vinegar and pepper." Hearing what Lin Jiacheng said, Fang Jian's father-in-law was immediately surprised: "This is Vinegar pepper fish?”

Fang Jian’s father also said: “This is the first time I have seen vinegar and pepper fish cooked so beautifully.”

Lin Jiacheng said; "Because there are several elderly people and some children here today, Master Feng in our cafeteria said to make this old dish for the elderly and children to eat."

Seeing that his father and father-in-law knew each other, Fang Jian couldn't help but ask: "Dad, is this vinegar and pepper fish a familiar dish?"

Father-in-law nodded: "It's an old dish, and few restaurants make it now."

My father said: "The key to this dish is that it doesn't taste good. If it's not cooked well, it can easily become very fishy."

Lin Jiacheng said, "Please use it slowly."

After Lin Jiacheng and Zhang Lei left, Fang Jian's father and father-in-law picked up the spoons together, and first reached out to scoop up the soup on the plate.

Looking at the almost milky white soup when scooped up, the two old men couldn't help but sigh that the soup was really good.

Then the two old men drank the first spoonful of soup together.

After entering the mouth, the two old men tasted the soup carefully and then swallowed it.

Fang Jian's father said: "It's a good soup. This fish soup is sour and spicy, and it's really fresh. It's delicious and appetizing. It's really delicious."

The father-in-law continued: "This is really different. It tastes different from the old dishes. This soup is more fragrant and fresh."

After the two old men gave their comments, Fang Jian winked at his wife, who stood up and filled a bowl for each of the four old men.

When fishing for the fish, I could clearly see that the fish was very tender and plump.

It was served to the old people, and everyone else here also served a bowl separately.

Fang Jian's wife also served a bowl to her son.

But the fat boy obviously preferred to eat meat and was not interested in this bowl of bland-looking fish soup.

"Mom, I don't drink. I don't like fish."

Grandma said: "Silly boy, this fish soup is very delicious, very fresh, and the fish meat is also delicious. Try it."

Grandma also persuaded: "Yes, you try it."

The fat boy took a sip of the soup doubtfully.

After taking a sip of the soup, the fat boy immediately fell silent and quickly ate the soup and fish in the bowl.

After finishing eating, the fat boy handed the bowl to his mother and said, "Mom, give me another bowl."

Everyone present laughed when they saw that the fat boy also liked to eat.

In the back kitchen of the cafeteria, Feng Zhengming handed the remaining small bowl of seasoned fish soup to his senior brother.

"Brother, give it a try."

Li Huidong took the bowl and hesitated before taking a sip of soup.

After taking this sip of soup, Li Huidong instantly understood the difference in his junior brother's bowl of soup.

"Is this your own improvement?"

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, senior brother, please remember this taste. You can do the same in the future. Use chicken soup to cook fish soup. If possible, you can use chicken oil to fry the fish bones."

Li Huidong was stunned after hearing this and stared at Feng Zhengming.

He immediately understood that the junior brother was giving him a dish before leaving.
