Since there was good food, the Monk, Old Man Zhu, and the others were not willing to leave.
In the kitchen, Fu Xia was watching the fire under the stove while He Fang assisted her.
Old Man Shou Shan waited for the ingredients to be ready before he started to work. Thud, thud, thud …
The rhythmic knife technique revealed an indescribable artistic conception.
He Fang exclaimed, "Master Shou, you must teach me in the future. You're too amazing."
"Knife technique is a chef's basic skill. With time and patience, you can also master it. “
When all the dishes were served, Li He looked at the table full of dishes. Just looking at them made him want to eat, and smelling them made him want to eat even more. He had to give the old man some respect.
For example, the simple boiled pork. The thin slices of meat were garnished with green coriander and sparkling sauce. The aroma immediately assailed his nostrils.
Li He picked up a slice and put it into his mouth. The sauce was thick and the taste was thick. It was scalding hot. It was delicious.
Old Man Lee said, "Shou Shan, you haven't lost your skills. Not bad. Fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood; tender but not mushy, thin but not broken. "
The Monk pointed at the plain, elegant, milky white fish and said, "The fish is fresh and tender, the soup is rich, and it's slightly sour and spicy. You've mastered this essence."
Even He Fang, who was holding a bowl of zhajiang noodles in one hand and a cucumber in the other, said as she ate, "Yes, I never thought that a bowl of zhajiang noodles could be so delicious. Master Shou, we'll have to learn more from you in the future. "
Old Man Zhu, who had been silent all this time, stroked his goatee and constantly praised, "How many years has it been since I've eaten such a delicious dish? Not bad, not bad."
"Thank you for your praise. Shou Shan feels that it's worth it." Old Man Shou Shan spoke modestly, but he couldn't hide his pride.
Li He didn't like the attitude of these old men. He said to Shou Shan, who was still standing, "Master Shou, why don't you sit down and eat? Let's drink together."
Shou Shan cupped his hands towards the table and sat down. He raised his cup and said excitedly, "I never dreamed that Shou Shan would have the opportunity to sit at the same table as you all. Shoushan will drink this cup of wine as a sign of respect. "
After the Shoushan Wine was finished, Old Man Lee said, "It's a new society now. Can't you speak properly? Don't be so sarcastic and make people laugh at you."
Shou Shan said, "Forgive me, forgive me. I will listen to you all. "
Everyone at the table could only smile bitterly.
Li He wanted to say, "You're already in such a sorry state, why do you still need that bit of integrity?"
Fu Xia, who had been sitting in the corner eating silently and had never spoken, suddenly interrupted, "With Master Shou's cooking skills, how popular would it be if he opened a restaurant?"
When Li He heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that the Li family's cuisine was about to open. If a university professor could cook so well as a part-time chef, then this Shou Shan's professional chef should be able to compete, right? He had also eaten the Li family's cuisine before, and it was just so-so. Perhaps the celebrity effect was more prominent. One moment, the Canadian Prime Minister went, and the next moment, the boxing champion went. Even Bill Gates went. In terms of cooking skills, Shou Shan's skills were definitely not bad. Why not open a restaurant?
Li He glanced at Old Man Lee and said, "Master Shou, opening a restaurant is really good."
Old Man Lee understood Li He's meaning. He thought that this old thing, Shou Shan, still needed to be controlled. Seeing that the young man was kind, he could shamelessly stick to him. Thus, he said, "Shou Shan, why don't you try? Let Xiao Li pay for it, and us old geezers will hold the fort. Nothing is impossible. "
Old Yu, the Monk, and the rest had been freeloading here every day and were already embarrassed. They wanted to help Li He, but the Monk spoke first, "Your skills can't be buried. You can give it a try."
Shou Shan said awkwardly, "I've just been rehabilitated. Will anything happen to me? "
Old Man Yu said coldly, "You're a worthless life. Who cares about it?"
Shou Shan blushed and didn't say anything.
Old Man Zhu patted Shou Shan's shoulder and said, "Don't be pretentious. Who doesn't know who you are? The Bai family is a royal chef, and Old Man Bai's eldest son just opened a restaurant in Goldfish Alley. Business is pretty good, and I even specially went to have a meal there. Xiao Li is a good kid. I can't mistreat you. "
Old Man Lee saw that Shou Shan was still hesitant and said unhappily, "Don't act like a bear. Say it. If you don't like it, just say it."
Li He knew that it was time to put on a good front. He smiled and said, "Master Shou, the government has already opened up to encourage people to become rich. Look at how many restaurants there are on the streets and alleys. You know that Fatty Li that we went to this afternoon. Look at how many years his restaurant has been running in secret, and it's getting bigger and bigger. Now, isn't he even putting up his signboard openly? Don't worry, if we're partners, I'll pay and you'll be the boss. I won't interfere, and you'll naturally get a share. "
"Boss?"
He Fang said, "It means that you're the boss. Everything is up to you, and we won't interfere. We'll even give you a share. "
Li He nodded at Shou Shan and said, "You're familiar with running a restaurant. How would we know? We'll have to rely on you."
Old Man Lee said, "According to the boss's rules, the boss's share is one-tenth, and there's another reward at the end of the year. Shou Shan, this is the rule, right?"
Shou Shan thought that it couldn't be worse than now. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since you guys think highly of me, I'll take it. But I have a favor to ask of you. "
Li He said, "Tell me. As long as I can do it, I'll agree."
"I'm wondering if I can wait until the restaurant is almost ready. I'll bring my daughter over to help. Don't worry, she won't be a freeloader. She's been with me since she was young and she's a good cook. My heart aches for her suffering in the countryside. "
Li He said, "I thought it was no big deal. You'll be the boss in the future, and you'll have the final say."
"Thank you. Don't worry, I'll definitely run the restaurant well. I'll bring her over when I make money."
Since they had decided to open a restaurant, they had to discuss where to find the location.
Old Man Lee said, "Are you stupid or what? How many houses do you have? Why would you need to rent? "
Li He slapped his thigh. How could he have forgotten about his own house? He said, "Ten. Then where do you think is suitable?"
"Of course it's the west alley of Qian and Liang Hutong. It's big enough and popular enough."
When Li He bought that house, he was thinking that it would be a large alley, a scenic spot, a restaurant, and a hotel. He couldn't demolish it, but now he could make use of it. "Then I'll listen to you guys on how to renovate it."
Old Man Zhu said, "As the saying goes, 'When you eat from others, your hands are soft.' We've always been eating from you and drinking from you. This time, I'll help you. If you're not afraid of spending money, leave the renovation to me. I'll buy a bright and spacious place for you."
Old Yu said, "I'll help you look for the furniture in the house at Liulichang."
Li He teased, "Alright, then I'll be a shopkeeper who doesn't have to do anything."
The table of people began to clink glasses again, as if they wouldn't stop until they were dead drunk. They drank until late into the night.
The next day, Li He woke up with a dizzy head. Two big yellow dogs were sniffing around his feet. Li He was annoyed and couldn't kick them away no matter how hard he tried.
He picked up the thermos and shook it, but it was empty. He couldn't find a glass of water to drink even if he wanted to.
There was no one at home. He Fang and Fu Xia had moved away, and the group of old men had gone to look at the house.
Li He walked to the empty kitchen and stood in front of the stove. His sleeves were rolled up above his forearms, revealing his muscular arms. His two hands were placed on both sides of the pot.
He stared at the empty pot for a while with an extremely serious expression. He realized that he really didn't know where to start.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to cook, but he was already used to it. Everything was prepared for him.
Half an hour later …
He decided to drink from the well.
