After all the ingredients were prepared, Xia Ruofei entered the Ring-Tu space. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and began to cook this extremely complicated dish from the southeast for the first time in his life.
He washed the Shaoxing wine jar and added about half a kilogram of water. The charcoal stoves on the side were already lit. Xia Ruofei placed the wine jar on a small fire to heat it up and poured all the spirit pond water away.
Then, he placed a small bamboo stick that he had already prepared at the bottom of the jar. Next, he wrapped a few medicinal herbs that he had already prepared with gauze and placed them at the bottom.
This was also the essence of the secret recipe for simmering the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup.
After placing the medicinal herbs, Xia Ruofei first placed the cooked chicken, duck, lamb, elbow, pig's trotters, duck gizzard, pig's stomach, flower mushrooms, and winter bamboo shoots. Then, he wrapped the shark's fin, ham slices, dried scallops, and abalone slices into a rectangular shape with gauze and placed them on top of the chicken, duck, and other ingredients. Then, he poured in the soup of the chicken, duck, and other ingredients.
The first step of placing the ingredients was completed. Xia Ruofei used a lotus leaf to seal the jar tightly and placed a small bowl upside down.
Then, he placed the wine jar on the charcoal stove and simmered it on a small fire for a full two hours. After opening the jar, he quickly placed the Spiky Ginseng, pork tendons, fish lips, and fish belly into the jar. Then, he immediately sealed the jar to prevent the fragrance of the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup from leaking out.
After adding the following ingredients, he simmered it on a small fire for more than three hours.
The Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup was considered complete.
Although the cooking process was nothing more than simmering, there were many tricks involved in the Chinese medicine formula, the order of the ingredients, the time to add them, the control of the fire, and so on. If he didn't master them well, this famous dish would lose a lot of its luster.
Xia Ruofei's mental strength had already reached the late stage of Spiritual Palpitation, which was equivalent to a cultivator at the sixth stage of Qi Refinement. Therefore, his control of the fire could be said to be at the pinnacle. Moreover, he didn't even need to open the jar to clearly detect the changes in each ingredient during the cooking process.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei was very clear that he had succeeded in making the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup.
Originally, Xia Ruofei had prepared three times the amount of ingredients in order to prevent any accidents. But now, those backup ingredients were no longer needed.
However, these ingredients wouldn't go bad even after they were processed and stored in the space. Furthermore, Xia Ruofei was also looking forward to the taste of the 'Buddha jumps over the wall' described in the secret recipe. He didn't have enough time today, and he didn't want to ruin this feeling of anticipation in advance. Thus, he decided to directly bring this' Buddha jumps over the wall 'to Ling's Private Kitchen.
As for the rest of the ingredients, he would keep them for a few days when he wanted to eat them, and then he would enter the space to cook and enjoy them.
With a thought, Xia Ruofei moved the charcoal stove and the small wine jar containing the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall into the Mountain Sea Realm, where the flow of time was the same as the outside world.
Then, he instructed Xia Qing to take care of the charcoal stove and use the smallest flame to keep it warm.
Xia Qing naturally nodded in agreement.
With a thought, Xia Ruofei left the space and put away the Spiritual Map Scroll.
At this time, only twenty minutes had passed in the outside world, and it wasn't even 4: 30 in the afternoon. Just now, when he was cooking the 'Buddha jumps over the wall' in the space, he had processed dozens of ingredients, so it was inevitable that his body would be stained with some oil and smoke. Thus, Xia Ruofei simply went to the bathroom to take a shower, then changed into a clean and comfortable set of clothes.
Although the city committee secretary was treating him to a meal, Xia Ruofei only wore a pair of casual pants and a casual shirt. His attire wasn't very formal, but it wasn't too casual either.
Xia Ruofei looked at the time. It was almost 5: 00 pm, so he took his handbag and went downstairs to prepare to leave.
He had an appointment with Song Qiming at 6: 30 pm, and Ling Qingxue also told him to arrive before 6: 30 pm. However, he couldn't possibly go on the dot and make Song Qiming's family wait for him, right? Moreover, his future father-in-law's private kitchen was opening, so it was reasonable for him to arrive earlier.
This was a matter of attitude.
Xia Ruofei sat in the Knight XV off-road vehicle. He reached into his pocket and touched the secret recipe of 'Buddha jumps over the wall' that he had copied. Then, he started the car and drove toward the city.
…
At the center of Sanshan City, Wanbao Plaza.
Two beautiful girls were sitting on a long bench, each holding a cup of Starbucks Matcha Frappuccino in their hands.
One of them was a tall girl with snow-white skin, wearing a sleeveless chiffon dress. Her pretty face had a trace of guilt as she said, "Yiyi, I'm sorry! I still have something to do tonight, so I can't accompany you shopping today. I'll take you shopping tomorrow! "
The other girl was wearing a navy-blue Dickies T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of white shoes. She was full of youthfulness from head to toe. She slightly pouted and said, "Weiwei, you're too disloyal! It's my first day in Sanshan City, and you didn't even accompany me for dinner. You just left me behind and ran away … "
The girl in the sleeveless chiffon dress was Song Qiming's daughter, Song Wei, and the other girl was her college classmate, Zhuo Yiyi.
Archaeology was basically a monk class. Only in their cohort were Song Wei and Zhuo Yiyi. They were two red dots in a sea of greenery.
As the only two girls in the class, the two naturally became very good friends.
Zhuo Yiyi originally wanted to use the summer vacation to travel to Heron Island. When she heard that Song Wei had moved to Sanshan City, she specially came from Heron Island to Sanshan City. She only arrived at Sanshan City this afternoon.
When Song Wei heard that her best friend had come to her place, she naturally had to come out to meet her. Moreover, with the test report from 301 Hospital, Song Qiming and Fang Liyun were relieved. They were not as afraid as before that Song Wei would faint without warning after leaving the house. They just reminded her to be careful when she went out.
Song Wei accompanied Zhuo Yiyi for the whole afternoon, but her family had to treat Xia Ruofei to dinner in the evening. So, although it was not good to leave her best friend alone, she still said it with a trace of guilt when it was five o 'clock.
Song Wei pulled Zhuo Yiyi's hand and said softly, "Yiyi, I really have something to do tonight! How about … I go to the hotel later to find you? "
Zhuo Yiyi's big eyes rolled a few times. She looked at Song Wei and said with a smile, "Weiwei, you're dressed so beautifully today, and you actually left me alone … Hmph! Tell me the truth! Do you have a date tonight? You're good, Song Wei. You've only been in Sanshan for a few days! You found Prince Charming so quickly? "
Song Wei's pretty face suddenly turned crimson, and Xia Ruofei's figure inexplicably appeared in her mind.
Her heart was flustered for no reason, but she quickly gave herself a mental reminder: I was going to have dinner with him tonight anyway! It's normal to think of him.
At this time, Zhuo Yiyi looked like she had discovered a new continent. She pointed at Song Wei and said, "You're blushing! Could it be that I was right? "
Song Wei was embarrassed and couldn't help but reach out and scratch Zhuo Yiyi's armpit. She said coquettishly, "Stupid girl! You can't control your mouth … "
Zhuo Yiyi was very ticklish. After being attacked by Song Wei, she couldn't help but giggle and beg for mercy. "Weiwei, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists. You can't be shameless …"
Song Wei glanced at Zhuo Yiyi proudly and said, "I'm not a gentleman, I'm a woman!"
"A woman …" Zhuo Yiyi looked at Song Wei playfully and said, "A woman nourished by love!"
Song Wei stomped his feet angrily and reached out to scratch Zhuo Yiyi again.
Zhuo Yiyi was scared and quickly stepped back a little. Then, she couldn't help but ask, "Weiwei, what's so important that you have to do tonight?"
Song Wei hesitated and said, "There's a dinner party tonight … Yiyi, you must be tired after shopping for the whole afternoon. Go back to the hotel and rest! I'll keep you company tomorrow! "
Zhuo Yiyi widened her eyes and said, "A dinner party? You said it's not a date … "
"It's really not!" Song Wei said quickly.
"Then I'll go with you!" Zhuo Yiyi stuck out her chest and smirked. "Don't tell me it's a candlelight dinner?"
Song Wei said helplessly, "It's really not. My parents are going too. It's an important dinner party …"
When Zhuo Yiyi heard that Song Wei's parents were going, she immediately dismissed the idea of going with Song Wei.
However, she thought about it and couldn't help but say suspiciously, "You're not deliberately using uncle and auntie as a shield because you don't want me, the third wheel, to follow you, right?"
Song Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You woman! Why are you so suspicious? Why would I lie to you? "
"Really?"
"Really, really!" Song Wei said quickly.
Zhuo Yiyi said reluctantly, "Okay then! I forgive you! Weiwei, you can't stand me up tomorrow! "
"I won't!" Song Wei vowed.
"Okay then … I'll believe you for now!" Zhuo Yiyi patted her chest and said, "Go! I'm going to watch a movie, then I'll come out to look for food … Poor me … "
Song Wei said embarrassedly, "Yiyi, I'm sorry …"
"Go, go!" Zhuo Yiyi laughed and said, "I'm just joking with you!"
Song Wei stood up and said, "Okay then! Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything … "
After that, Song Wei waved at Zhuo Yiyi, then got up and walked across the square. He stopped a taxi by the roadside and told the taxi driver the address that Xia Ruofei had given to Song Qiming.
Song Wei had gotten his driver's license when he was a sophomore. Song Qiming had also bought her a car, but it was only a Smart that cost more than a hundred thousand yuan. The small and exquisite two-seater car was very suitable for a single girl like her.
However, the car was left in the southwest. In fact, Song Qiming had come in a hurry, so he didn't have time to move a lot of things from his house. Fang Liyun and Song Wei had only brought some daily necessities over.
The living conditions of the provincial-level officials were very good. They could move in with their bags, so they didn't need to buy their own things. In addition, Song Qiming was also busy familiarizing himself with his new position, so he didn't think about moving back.
Song Wei sat in the taxi and looked out the window at the city scenery passing by. He couldn't help but look forward to tonight's banquet.
…
The newly opened Ling's Restaurant was located on Guanmiao Street in the Zhonglou District of Sanshan City.
It was an old street in Sanshan City. The buildings on both sides weren't very tall, and they were all old, so the street looked a little old.
Since it was a high-end private restaurant, Ling's Restaurant naturally wouldn't open in a busy area. This relatively secluded old street was full of the charm of the old city, so it was quite suitable.
Although the street wasn't wide, it was quite convenient for traffic.
In addition, there was a spacious open space in front of Ling's Restaurant that could accommodate 20 to 30 cars. It was enough for a private restaurant that catered to a small group of people.
Xia Ruofei directly used the GPS and drove to the small parking lot.
On the way there, Xia Ruofei had already taken out the jar of Buddha Jumps Over The Wall from his space. It was now placed in an insulated box in the trunk of the car. Moreover, there was a tray of hot water at the bottom, so it was guaranteed that it would still be hot and scalding when he took it out for dinner.
Xia Ruofei didn't take the insulated box down. He got out of the car and walked directly to Ling's Restaurant.
At the entrance, Xia Ruofei stopped and looked around.
This was a Ming and Qing dynasty style building, but the building materials looked quite new. It should have been renovated later. However, there was a row of flower baskets at the entrance and a row of lanterns along the green brick wall. It still looked very festive.
Xia Ruofei walked through the antique door. After turning the screen wall, there was a small patio. The patio was paved with bricks on both sides, and it indeed looked full of the charm of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The waitresses wearing cheongsams standing on both sides didn't know Xia Ruofei, the son-in-law. When they saw the guests come in, they immediately asked enthusiastically, "Sir, may I ask where you are? Do you have a reservation? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Is your CEO Ling here? I'm her friend. "
The waitress was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. Ling's Restaurant was just a store under the Ling's Restaurant Group. Naturally, the manager and other management staff were arranged here. The waitress didn't think of the senior management like Ling Xiaotian and Ling Qingxue at first. Instead, she was thinking about which leader in the store had the surname Ling.
Just as she was in a daze, a joyful voice came from inside: "Ruo Fei, you're here!"
Then the waitress saw the vice president of the group, Ling Qingxue, walk out happily, almost trotting.
At this time, the waitress realized that the "CEO Ling" that Xia Ruofei mentioned was actually the little princess of the group, Ling Qingxue.
Ling Qingxue walked quickly to Xia Ruofei in the waitress's surprised eyes. She said with a smile, "You're quite early! Good job … "
After that, Ling Qingxue didn't hide in front of the employees. She directly held Xia Ruofei's arm and said, "Let's go! My dad is waiting for you inside! "
The waitresses didn't come back to their senses until Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue walked away.
It turned out that this handsome guy was the son-in-law of our big boss! The waitresses couldn't help gossiping in a low voice.
Ling Qingxue held Xia Ruofei's arm. As they walked inside, she asked proudly, "What do you think of this place? From the renovation of the old house to the overall decoration, it was basically under my supervision! "
"Good, good! My wife is really capable! "Xia Ruofei immediately praised her.
"Of course!" Ling Qingxue raised her smooth and tender chin.
