Life game

Chapter 615 first sight (two)

The store was very lively, so lively that Jiang Feng even wondered if Jubaolou hosted the wedding banquet today.

The decoration of the lobby was somewhat similar to what Jiang Feng had seen in the old man's memory. There were only two types of tables, small square tables and large round tables.

"Sir, do you have an appointment? Our store doesn't have any..." A waiter greeted him.

"Yes, my friend has already arrived, I can just go in by myself." Sun Maocai said.

Hearing what Sun Maocai said, the waiter nodded and smiled and left.

Sun Maocai walked in, looking around as if looking for someone.

Soon, at a square table near the window, a slightly rich middle-aged man in a suit stood up and waved to Sun Maocai enthusiastically.

"Master Sun, it's been a hard journey. Sit down quickly, the dishes are just on the table." The middle-aged man shook hands with Sun Maocai first, and then beckoned him to sit down.

"Boss He, I am really sorry for your trouble." Sun Maocai said politely.

"No trouble, it's just a trivial matter. I have a friend here who is very familiar with the owner of Jubao Building. It is very easy to help book the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon. But you must have worked hard all the way from Hong Kong City."

"It's not that I came here specially. I just happened to be attending a cooking exchange meeting in a nearby city. It only takes a few hours to get here by train, so it's very convenient." Sun Maocai said, sat down, and began to look at the dishes on the table.

A table of meat dishes filled this small square table to the brim, and there was no vegetarian food to be seen.

"Master Sun, is this your first visit to Jubaolou? These dishes are the signature dishes of Jubaolou. Look, Wenchang Chicken, Boiled Geoduck, Shredded Chicken and Bird's Nest, Shacha Beef, Drunken Ribs, Pumpkin and Shark's Fin Cup , if you have anything else you want to eat, we can add more." Boss He almost had the words "rich" engraved on his face.

"These are enough, how can the two of us eat so many dishes, it really costs you." Sun Maocai laughed.

Boss He waved his hand: "This is not a waste of money. Last time, if you hadn't helped me temporarily add a table, I wouldn't even be able to meet Boss Xu, and the business would have been impossible to negotiate. Let me say that the lobby It's still too noisy, and the tables are small, so if you come again next time, you must call me in advance, and I'll book a room upstairs."

"Just the two of you don't need a private room. The lobby is pretty good, lively and smells like fireworks." Sun Maocai looked at the dishes on the table but didn't move his chopsticks.

Boss He looked at Sun Maocai's expression, and felt that he had guessed his intentions, and explained: "The eight-treasure chestnut pigeon has to wait for a while, and now this dish is famous. When it first came out two months ago, it was still very popular. No one thinks it’s expensive, but a pigeon with some vegetarian inside is more expensive than a bird’s nest stuffed with pigeon swallows. I don’t think it takes less than two months, so I have to ask someone to find it. The relationship is pre-booked, it doesn’t matter if it’s still not pre-booked.”

"The food has nothing to do with the ingredients, as long as it tastes good, it's good food." Sun Maocai said.

"That's right." Boss He nodded in agreement, "It's much more delicious than those ordinary abalone, shark's fin and sea cucumbers. It used to be a vegetarian every day and you couldn't eat meat, but now it's quite good to eat a lot of meat and meat. good."

"Master Sun, if you are from Hong Kong, you may not know it. Although our life is pretty good now, it was really hard to live in the past. I couldn't even eat meat all year round. If I could eat such a table of food when I was young You can wake up with a smile even in your dreams." Boss He picked up his chopsticks, "Come on, let's eat vegetables, this ribs should be made by Master Sun himself, you..."

Speaking of this, Boss He suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, both you and Master Sun in Jubaolou are named Sun."

"Yeah, it's a coincidence." Sun Maocai picked up a spare rib and put it in the bowl.

"I heard Boss He's accent doesn't seem to be local, you should be from Guangdong Province." Sun Maocai started the chat mode.

"Yes, but I have been doing business here in the past few years, so I have spent more time here. I don't know if Master Sun has heard of Jubao Building in Hong Kong City. This Jubao Building has become famous a few years ago. I I have heard it in Guangdong Province. It is known as the No. [-] restaurant in FJ. It used to be the most famous restaurant in Jubaolou. The most famous restaurant is Buddha Jumping Wall. I originally wanted to invite you to try it, but I forgot when I made the reservation. Next time I have a chance, I will definitely Please have a taste."

"A few years ago?" Sun Maocai grasped the point.

"Yeah." Boss He ate a big piece of pork ribs, and his words were a little vague, "I also heard from my friend, it seems to be more than ten years ago, after the death of Master Sun. You should know, Master Sun, He is a famous master of Cantonese cuisine."

"I know, he is highly respected." Sun Maocai nodded.

"He is highly respected, but it's a pity that the apprentices he brought out were not virtuous. After the old Master Sun passed away, those apprentices made a big fuss over the Jubao Building. It seemed that there was a cooking competition in the end. The winner of the competition was actually It’s Master Sun’s young apprentice, but that young apprentice gave up the right to inherit the restaurant, so Jubao Building belongs to the current Master Sun.” Boss He talked about old melons in front of the parties.

Jiang Feng: ...

Although he couldn't see any expression fluctuations on Sun Maocai's face, he felt that Sun Maocai's inner fluctuations at this time should be quite strong.

Boss He talked more and more vigorously: "After that, the Jubao Building will not work, and several masters who are in charge of the spoon have left at once. It is only in the past two months that the business has flourished again. If I want to say that the worst thing is Old Sun Master The little apprentice who got nothing, even left Jubao Building and now there is no news. I heard that this little apprentice was only in his early 20s at that time, what a pity."

Sun Maocai was silent for a long time, so long that Jiang Feng thought he was going to get up and say, "I'm going to the toilet, and relieve the embarrassment in my heart by urinating."

As a result, Sun Maocai put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Jiang Feng:?
Boss He:?
"Ah?" Boss He was confused.

"If you really don't want a restaurant, you can just throw in the towel and admit defeat during the match. Why win that match?" Sun Maocai said.

Jiang Feng: 〣(Δ)〣

He felt as if he had eaten a shocking melon.

Boss He was a bit puzzled by Sun Maocai's words. After pondering for a while, he said, "Yes, if you don't want it, just admit defeat. Why bother to win and say no."

"Oh, I remembered. My friend also told me. He is familiar with Boss Sun in Jubaolou. He said that Boss Sun is a very strong person. I guess he can't let it go. The competition back then was like It’s quite a sensation, and it might not be appropriate to release water in full view.”

"What's not suitable, in fact, it's the most suitable for him to release water. If he really doesn't want the restaurant, if he loses the game, he can continue to stay in the Jubao building as a chef, and it's unnecessary to give up the restaurant after winning. There is no meaning other than a good reputation." Sun Maocai said.

"Since you wanted a restaurant, why did you give up in the end?" Boss He had completely forgotten the previous topic, and began to think about this issue seriously, even forgot to eat.

"Maybe I regretted it later." Sun Maocai said, "People are always capricious and competitive. They want it one second, but dare not want it the next second, especially when they are young. Forget about the consequences. With such a huge temptation in front of you, who can resist not wanting it?"

"Everyone will be moved."

"According to what you say, this little apprentice of Old Master Sun is not worth the loss. Why bother to win the game and just let it go. If I were him, I would have regretted it by now. Now the reputation of Jubaolou is soaring, I heard people say The chefs inside are now doing private work outside." Boss He compared a number to Sun Maocai, "Of course, you can't compare with Master Sun."

"I also think that he probably regrets it now." Sun Maocai looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly smiled, "This is what I said casually, Boss He, please don't take it to heart."

"I know, it's just a guess. We are not the parties involved, who knows what they were thinking at the time." Boss He laughed twice and continued to eat.

Sun Maocai also took two mouthfuls of food, and while eating, he suddenly raised his head and looked inside when he heard something.Jiang Feng looked in the direction of his eyes and found that there seemed to be some dispute at the innermost table near the back kitchen door. The three guests on the small table quarreled with two waiters.

"What happened over there?" Sun Maocai asked.

Boss He looked up, and continued to eat with his head down: "Normal, that table is not available. I didn't reserve a seat in advance once, and I sat at that table when I came late. It's too close to the kitchen door, and someone always enters. Going in and out especially affects eating, and Boss Sun's grandson always likes to sneak out of it while eating, and it is easy for children to bump into people when they walk without looking at the road."

"Boss Sun's grandson?"

"Well, he looks very cute and tiger-headed."

Sun Maocai looked at the table thoughtfully.

　A little Calvin.
