Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning chatted and laughed as they walked to the dining room and sat down. She glanced at the dishes on the table. Although she tried her best to maintain a proper smile, the stars in her eyes still showed her amazement and joy at the dishes on the table.
Unlike in the past, there weren't many dishes on the table this time.
There were only eight dishes in total. In the middle were three large blue and white porcelain bowls, surrounded by five pure white jade porcelain plates, like a peacock spreading its tail.
Lu Yuan walked over with a smile. As he set up the chopsticks for everyone, he said, "I didn't cook many dishes today, but they're all martial arts dishes. Everyone, try them and see if they're delicious."
Song Jinning smiled and said, "Although there aren't many dishes, the amount of dishes is very large. Lu Yuan, what dishes are these?"
Lu Yuan pointed at the three large blue and white porcelain bowls in the middle and said, "These are bird's nest soup, braised shark's fin, and oolong spitting pearls."
Gu Nianzhi looked at the "oolong spitting pearls". It happened to be stewed soft black ginseng neatly arranged side by side, but there was a string of quail eggs on the side, just like a dragon spitting pearls.
Huo Shaoheng sat next to Gu Nianzhi and scooped her a bowl of bird's nest soup with a serving spoon. He said casually, "President Lu is cooking the Tan family's official dishes today. This bird's nest soup, braised shark's fin, and oolong spitting pearls are the three most famous dishes in the Tan family's official dishes. "
This bird's nest soup was clear and moist. The bird's nest soup was intact and floated in the beige soup like pieces of magnolia. It was elegant and fresh, and just the smell was surprisingly clear.
Gu Nianzhi had only eaten desserts made from bird's nest before, but she had never eaten dishes made from bird's nest. She quickly took a bite.
The softness of the bird's nest was mixed with an extremely fresh taste. It was like a clear spring that washed the taste buds clean, just waiting for a gluttonous feast.
"Oh –!" Gu Nianzhi dragged out her voice and said vaguely, "How is this made? Can bird's nest make such a taste?! Indeed, ignorance has limited my imagination! "
Lu Yuan sat next to Song Jinning with a smile and scooped a bowl of bird's nest soup for her. He said, "If we use Western cuisine as an analogy, this dish can be considered an appetizer."
"After the bird's nest is soaked, it is washed with clean water, and then steamed with chicken broth made from organic chickens. Then, it is put into the black pork knuckle, scallops, and Xuanwei ham stock and steamed for half an hour."
"This way, the bird's nest won't break. Not only will the bird's cup be intact, but the nutrients won't be lost either."
Lu Jin was thinking about something. He reached the spoon and scooped a bowl of bird's nest soup.
Lu Yuan was slightly surprised to see that he did not argue, but he did not say anything. He picked up the serving chopsticks and scooped another handful of braised shark's fin for Lu Jin. He placed it in a small bowl beside him.
Huo Shaoheng said, "These dishes are very particular about the quality of the ingredients and the heat control. Director Lu, how long did you prepare for this table of dishes? "
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "If you don't count the time to find the ingredients, the entire preparation work will take a day and a night."
Gu Nianzhi gasped. "… These eight dishes took a day and a night?!"
"The main thing about these dishes is that they take a lot of time to soak," Lu Yuan explained unhurriedly. "Because I didn't want to use chemical methods to soak them, I only used clean water, so it took a long time."
"Also, the shark's fin and bird's nest soup were just brewed, so it took more than ten hours."
Gu Nianzhi nodded with emotion. "No wonder … these dishes are so delicious. I probably can't eat them often."
Lu Jin heard this and turned to her. "That's why I asked you to eat with me! Boss Lu is a busy man, so he doesn't cook such good dishes often! "
"I've lived with Boss Lu for 18 years, and he's only cooked them once! Once! "Lu Jin stretched out a finger to show how outrageous Lu Yuan's behavior was!
Song Jinning ate a mouthful of bird's nest soup and then a mouthful of braised shark's fin. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's so delicious! Lu Yuan, I'll be satisfied if I can eat these dishes every New Year! "
"You like them? I can make them once a week. "Lu Yuan quickly said," The soup is ready. As long as the ingredients are fresh, you can make them. "
Lu Jin: "…"
Pfft! His face hurt so much!
He glared at Lu Yuan, who was inhumane to the opposite sex. He curled his lips and resentfully picked up a crow ginseng for himself. He bit it off and ate it as if he was venting his anger.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng looked at each other and secretly smiled.
For the sake of Song Jinning, Lu Yuan had really "stopped at nothing"!
However, Song Jinning didn't appreciate it and quickly said, "How can I do that? These dishes are so troublesome to make. How can I ask you to make them every week? Besides, I don't come back every week. I'll be satisfied if I eat them once a year. "
Lu Yuan wanted to say "it's not troublesome," but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud in front of so many people. His gaze swept around the table and landed on Gu Nianzhi, who was eating bitterly. He said, "… Nianzhi has lost a lot of weight, so she needs to take good care of herself. Anyway, I plan to make her a nutritious dish every week. Everyone can try it, so it doesn't matter. "
Gu Nianzhi, who had been pulled over to block the bullet, suddenly realized that the tender and smooth shark fin in her mouth seemed to have grown thorns that were about to pierce her throat.
She looked up at Lu Yuan with a wry smile and thought to herself, President Lu, why are you doing this …
Just as she was about to express that she was "too weak" to take care of herself, Song Jinning smiled happily and said, "Is that so? Nianzhi really needs to take care of herself! She and Shaoheng will be married next year, and she will soon have a child. She has to take care of herself! Lu Yuan, you're really considerate. Then I'll take care of Nianzhi and eat this good food too! "
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and thought that this was good too. Song Jinning would also "take care of herself". Perhaps there would be unexpected effects …
Her bitter smile immediately turned into a sweet smile. She said to Lu Yuan, "Then I'll have to trouble President Lu. I'll do as you say!"
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and picked up a piece of crow ginseng for her. He didn't expose her thoughts.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Nianzhi had agreed. He said calmly, "Although my surname is no longer Huo, I'm still Shaoheng and Nianzhi's uncle. Your children are also my grandchildren. If I don't care about you, who should I care about? Nianzhi, food is better than medicine … "
Gu Nianzhi interrupted him and said with a smile, "President Lu is right! Actually, during the days when Ms. Song was sick, she was abused by those people in terms of food and drink. Ms. Song's health wasn't very good either. President Lu, do you know how to make medicinal cuisine? Do you want to customize some medicinal cuisine for Ms. Song that can help her recover? "
Lu Yuan's gaze darkened. He looked at Song Jinning fixedly and said in a low voice, "Director Song, it's all my fault. I'll make up for the harm you've suffered for them. "
Lu Yuan's cheap daughter, Luo Jialan, was the main culprit behind Song Jinning's abuse.
Song Jinning smiled and said, "Luo Jialan is indeed at fault, but she's an adult. What she did has nothing to do with you. Don't take her fault on yourself. "
"If I hadn't married her mother, she would never have had the chance to get close to you in her life," Lu Yuan said with a serious expression. "And even if I got married, I should have moved out with them earlier. In short, I left her at home to stir up trouble and almost caused you to lose your life."
Song Jinning quickly said, "Luo Jialan's mother, Luo Xinxue, has a good relationship with me, but Luo Jialan is indeed ruthless. Even her own mother could sit back and watch her be killed."
Seeing this, Gu Nianzhi tried to smooth things over and said, "President Lu, don't be too modest. You helped my father send me over, so Ms. Song's illness would have been cured. You've also contributed to this. "
Lu Jin became smug and said, "That's right, that's right! Boss Lu, let me tell you, without our Nianzhi, your Director Song would have never recovered! "
Lu Yuan's solemn and handsome face turned slightly red. He was stunned by Lu Jin's "your Director Song" and didn't want to retort.
Song Jinning didn't understand the deeper meaning behind his words. She smiled and nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Lu is right! My life was really saved by Nianzhi! Nianzhi, it's been hard on you. Donating bone marrow is so painful, but you're still willing to do it. "
She looked up at Huo Shaoheng and reminded him, "Shaoheng, you must be good to Nianzhi. She's really good to you and to me!"
Lu Yuan saw that Song Jinning didn't object to Lu Jin's words at all. Instead, she agreed that he was right. Therefore, even though he knew that Song Jinning didn't notice the true meaning of "your Director Song", his mood improved like never before.
Therefore, he smiled faintly and scooped a bowl of braised shark's fin for Gu Nianzhi. He said, "These dishes are gentle and nourishing. They're very good for a woman's body. Nianzhi, don't take advantage of your youth … "
Lu Jin drank the bird's nest soup and muttered to himself, "What's wrong with my Nianzhi's health? She can heal all kinds of injuries on her own … Who cares about your medicinal cuisine … "
However, in order to eat such good food once a week, he chose to keep his mouth shut against his will and didn't say a single word.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and chuckled. He calmly picked up Gu Nianzhi's stir-fried porcini mushrooms and told her to eat some vegetarian dishes as well.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious. Lu Yuan was very good at livening up the atmosphere and quietly led everyone's conversation. The dinner was a joyous one. Although Gu Nianzhi didn't drink, she felt drunk when she left Song Jinning's apartment.
..
After sending Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng off, Lu Yuan and Song Jinning went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.
In order to spend more time with Song Jinning, Lu Yuan deliberately didn't use the dishwasher.
Song Jinning rarely cooked, and she didn't even remember that there was a dishwasher in her kitchen. Therefore, one of them washed the dishes while the other wiped the dishes with a cloth towel. They casually chatted like a married couple who had been married for many years.
This was nothing special to Song Jinning, but to Lu Yuan, it was a scene that he hadn't even dared to dream of in the past few decades.
He only wished that there were more dishes so that he could wash them slower.
..
Lu Jin returned to his room alone, turned on his computer, and began to study the scope of the Hong Corporation's business.
From the public information on the Internet, he learned that the Hong Corporation was just a small auto parts dealer in the early years. However, with the rapid development of the Huaxia Empire's auto manufacturing industry in the past decade, the Hong Corporation invested the money earned from auto parts into auto manufacturing, allowing the company to make a qualitative leap. At one point, it became a large company with an annual output value of billions.
However, in recent years, the Hong Corporation's auto sales had begun to decline. The group had decided to diversify its operations and not put all its eggs in one basket. Now, it was a multi-type company that combined catering, entertainment, and manufacturing.
In order to go public overseas, the Hong Corporation had placed its chips on alternative energy vehicles, especially the emerging industry of electric vehicles.
Compared to the traditional auto industry, the most important thing about electric vehicles was the endurance of the batteries used in the car.
At present, all the electric vehicle manufacturers in the world had this specific shortcoming, which was that the cost and effectiveness of the batteries were far from meeting the requirements for commercial use.
Simply put, the cost of the batteries used in electric vehicles was too high. They were neither practical nor cheap, so it was impossible to promote them on a large scale.
However, the concept of electric vehicles was very popular in the market. Investors and the stock market all recognized this concept as a stock.
Lu Jin carefully studied the model and performance of the electric vehicles launched by the Hong Corporation, and especially learned about the patented technology they used.
With one look, he realized that the patented technology of the Hong Corporation was all signed by Guo Huining.
