Chapter 578 The First Shot

In order for Zheng Siyuan's first blind date in Beiping to go smoothly, Zheng Da also took great pains.

The specific behavior was to force his senior brother to cook exquisite Subang dishes for Zheng Siyuan's blind date banquet.

Subang dishes are not only delicious, but also beautiful, with fresh ingredients and rich colors. Whether it is squirrel mandarin fish or honey sauce barbecued pork, they are very eye-catching dishes as soon as they are served on the table.

As long as there is a little decoration, put some dry ice on the bottom of a special plate, and the dishes are carefully designed when they are placed on the plate. It is not an exaggeration to describe the dishes served with landscape paintings.

The problem now is that Master Huang doesn't want to paint.

Master Huang only wanted to paint in front of the two masters and uncles or grab the brushes of the two apprentices to paint, and he didn't want to take the initiative to paint.

When Jiang Feng found out, the focus of the debate between Zheng Da and Master Huang had become whether Master Huang should only cook squirrel mandarin fish tomorrow, or should he add a plate of toppings, such as Gusu Bayan (made with various fruits) creative dishes) or something.

"Master Zheng, there are three dishes on the menu for tomorrow, fish head with chopped pepper, glutinous rice lotus root and chicken wrapped in vegetables. If you want Master Huang to cook again, one dish is enough." Jiang Feng jumped out to smooth things over.

"No, no, the number of four of these four dishes is too unlucky to add up to five." Zheng Da always sees things from such a clear angle.

Jiang Feng:? ? ?
"What do you want me to do? Xiaojiang's big restaurant can't come up with a dish that Siyuan or that girl wants to eat? Let them order what they want. I've heard of arranged marriages." I haven't heard of you arranging blind date dishes like this." Master Huang saw that he had a good helper and went all out on the spot.

Jiang Feng: ...

After several 10 minutes of mediation, Zheng Da finally finalized the menu for Zheng Siyuan's blind date the next day.

Fish head with chopped pepper, chicken wrapped in vegetables, lotus root with glutinous rice, squirrel mandarin fish and a small portion of Li Hongzhang chowder.

Jiang Feng swore that he never recommended Li Hongzhang's chowder to Zheng Da. It was Zheng Da who found this dish to be good when he went through the menu, but Fang Mei didn't believe his nonsense.

Fang Mei even suspected that Jiang Feng and the others had some internal conflicts in their school, so they used this vicious method to take revenge on their uncle and brother.

"Manager Fang, the menu is set, so these five dishes should not be changed. Tomorrow is my brother's first blind date in Beiping. My uncle attaches great importance to it, so I will trouble you to take care of the outside affairs at that time. Like What about the arrangement on the table, candles and other things that can set off the atmosphere depend on your care." Jiang Feng said.

The expression on Fang Mei's face was a little hesitant, and her fingers unconsciously tapped on the table in a certain rhythm. After thinking for a long time, she slowly said: "Little boss, should this Li Hongzhang's chowder be replaced?"

The last time Jiang Feng mentioned to Fang Mei that Taifeng Restaurant could promote Li Hongzhang's chowder as a star dish, she has been hesitating.Because she witnessed too many diners shed tears for it, Fang Mei also knew that Jiang Feng was a person who was very good at telling nonsense, which made Fang Mei not trust him very much.

In the past few days since the opening, Fang Mei has been investigating other dishes' customer evaluations, costs and potential markets, in order to pick out a dish that is more suitable for publicity than Li Hongzhang's chowder.

Fang Mei felt that if she really couldn't find a dish that was better than Li Hongzhang's chowder or comparable to it, she might as well believe Jiang Feng's nonsense and let him try it.

"No need to change, don't worry, what will be made will be a very normal Li Hongzhang's chowder, and there will be no problems!" Jiang Feng assured Fang Mei.

"That's okay, is there anything else that needs attention?" Fang Mei decided to check the situation tomorrow, and if it's really possible, she will set the star dish as Li Hongzhang's chowder, and she will think about the promotion plan in the next few days.

"Oh, there is one more thing. When the time comes, please remind the waiter who serves the dishes. When serving the glutinous rice lotus root, tell me that senior brother and his blind date should drink the soup first."

Fang Mei:? ? ?
Although she didn't understand why a dessert of glutinous rice lotus root is so delicious, Fang Mei nodded and wrote it down.

The time soon came to the second night.

Zheng Siyuan's blind date.

Ling Guangzhao gave Zheng Siyuan a blind date vacation, but Zheng Siyuan still responsibly made two batches of pastries in the afternoon and let other Babaozhai chefs bake or steam them, which moved Ling Guangzhao very much.

And he became more determined to introduce the Peking girl to Zheng Siyuan.

Ling Guangzhao had a choice when choosing a blind date for Zheng Siyuan. The targets he aimed at were those girls who were more suitable in all aspects and who intended to stay in Peiping and work hard, or who were from Peking at all.

Zheng Siyuan and her blind date arrived almost at the same time, and Zheng Da was sitting at the table next to Zheng Siyuan, with his back to him.There was nothing on the table except a piece of porridge with preserved egg and lean meat. Zheng Da, his son who was on a blind date, was so nervous that he couldn't eat anything, so he could only drink some porridge to calm down.

Zheng Siyuan's blind date is Gao Qing, who is very talkative. Knowing that Zheng Siyuan may not be very talkative, he has been looking for topics intentionally or unintentionally since he was seated.

Gao Qing has good facial features, simple light makeup but a slightly darker lipstick, and a smart professional suit obviously just got off work.

Not long after the two of them sat down, the waiter came to serve the food.

"Hello, glutinous rice lotus root." The waiter who served Zheng Siyuan's table was a very young girl with a round face who was an intern in the next year. Because of Fang Mei's instructions, she seemed very nervous when serving the food.

"For glutinous rice and lotus root, it is recommended to drink soup first. May I help you two to serve a bowl of soup first?" the waiter said nervously.

"Drink soup?" Gao Qing was surprised, and even forgot what she wanted to say to Zheng Siyuan, she couldn't help but glanced at the tray in the waiter's hand, only to find that there was still a small bowl of sugar water soup on the tray.

"Yes, this is... this is our store's special feature. The glutinous rice lotus root is also a new product. It is recommended to drink soup." The waiter said.

"Excuse me." Gao Qing smiled at the waiter and turned to Zheng Siyuan, "I haven't eaten at Taifeng Restaurant before. I didn't expect their dishes to be so special. The glutinous rice lotus root can also be eaten in soup." , it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

"This is also the first time for me to see you." Zheng Siyuan said.

Seeing Zheng Siyuan's answer, Gao Qing knew that this topic could continue: "By the way, there is actually a question I really want to ask you. Because you were introduced to me by Boss Ling, and Boss Ling is the boss of Babaozhai You are the chef of Babaozhai again. Why is our blind date set at Taifeng Building instead of your own restaurant?"

Zheng Siyuan didn't know what was going on, he only found out this morning that he was going on a blind date.

"I don't want to bother everyone if I'm in my own restaurant, and I also have a relationship with the chef at Taifeng Building. You can order dishes in advance, and it's very convenient to reserve seats." Zheng Siyuan said.

Gao Qing nodded: "Yes, it's really embarrassing if you are surrounded by people you know during a blind date. We are at this age, although blind dates are a normal thing, but we are not willing to tell others."

Gao Qing took a sip of sugar water, frowned and put down the bowl: "This is too sweet, it's just sugar water with too much sugar added."

Zheng Siyuan also took a sip when he heard the words: "It's too sweet."

After putting down the bowl, Gao Qing decided not to touch the plate of glutinous rice and lotus root, and blacked out the dish in her heart, and chatted with Zheng Siyuan a lot about the topic of blind date, and didn't start eating with chopsticks until the other dishes were on the table.

Because of the overly sweet sugar water, Gao Qing's first impression of Taifenglou was not very good. She thought it was a money-grabbing restaurant with expensive dishes and a poor chef.But after tasting the follow-up dishes, Gao Qing quickly changed her opinion of the chefs in Taifenglou, and felt that this is a good restaurant where she can often come to have a meal.

As long as you don't eat the strange glutinous rice lotus root, every store has some scrambled vegetables, Gao Qing thinks it's normal.

Gao Qing and Zheng Siyuan ate this blind date meal very quickly, almost finished it in an hour.

In Gao Qing's opinion, this blind date should be the most comfortable and satisfying one among so many blind dates in her life.

Although Zheng Siyuan is not very talkative, he seems a little indifferent.But Gao Qing, who is over [-] years old and has gone through several blind dates, and has met all kinds of strange blind date partners, feels that Zheng Siyuan is already a rare high-performance stock among blind date men in her age group.

For a person of her age to go on a blind date, as long as the blind date is a normal person, it is already a happy thing.

After all, she had encountered such confusing reasons for dislike her as being too old, having a high degree of education, and not having a house in Beiping.

"Would you like to go shopping in a nearby shopping mall or watch a movie? I know that there is a very good movie that was released recently. I haven't had the chance to watch it. I don't have anything to do tonight. Why don't you go to a movie and relax." Gao Qing asked .

Zheng Da was elated at the table next to them, thinking that his son would definitely get a wife this time.

"No, I have to go back to the store." Zheng Siyuan said.

Gao Qing:? ? ?
Zheng Da:? ? ?
Zheng Da even forgot that he was a diner pretending to be eating next to Zheng Siyuan, and turned his head in disbelief, wanting to see whether his son had crumbs of snacks or pieces of butter in his brain.

"You...you want to work overtime?" Gao Qing couldn't believe her ears.

"Go back to work, the dim sum should be almost sold out, I can go back and make new ones. I've settled the bill, you can go to the movies by yourself, remember to go home early, it's not safe for a girl to go back too late alone." Zheng Siyuan said, Put on your down jacket and go.

Gao Qing was stunned for a moment while sitting on the chair, and showed a wry smile: "It's a pity that I still pretended to be sentimental and thought that he was a good person. After doing this for a long time, he didn't even take a fancy to me."

Gao Qing shook her head and left with her bag.

Zheng Da: ...

The daughter-in-law who got it flew away because his son was two hundred and five.

Zheng Da really wanted to pry open Zheng Siyuan's mind to see what was inside him.

During the blind date, I didn't see him have any opinions, nor did I see him dissatisfied.He was not happy with the woman when he was asked to go on a blind date, but this time the blind date process seemed to be going well, neither picking on the woman nor looking for the woman, let alone saying that the woman is not good at work.Seeing that it was about to happen, he took the last step and left.

Zheng Da was so angry that he took out his mobile phone to call and scold his son on the spot.

Then Zheng Siyuan told him that he thought Gao Qing was okay, but.

The snacks he made in the afternoon should be sold out, and he has to rush to Babaozhai to make a new batch.

Zheng Da: ...

I don't want this son anymore.
