Chapter 145 Even a pig can’t eat so much!
The old guys smiled and said, "Didn't we hear that you have delicious food here? You know we like to eat."
Lao Zhang laughed heartily and said, "Then today I will let you taste what real food is."
"Hey! Lao Zhang, you are becoming more and more shameless! Do we look like people who have never tasted delicious food?
I don’t believe your chef can be anything special.”
Lao Zhang stroked his beard and said, "How about we make a bet? If the food I cook today is delicious, what do you think?"
"Tsk, then I'll give the chef 1000 yuan..."
Old Zhang looked at him speechlessly and said, "You are really good."
"What if the food cooked by the chef is not tasty?" someone asked.
"Then let the chef give us 1000 yuan, okay?" A dozen old friends laughed.
Lao Zhang looked at them and said, "Okay, I'll accept it on behalf of the cook."
They all laughed, and soon they were inside, followed by the others.
The kitchen also started serving dishes, including cold jellyfish, spiced beef cold dish, crispy fish skin, cold clams, braised food platter, cold bitter chrysanthemum, salted edamame, cold ears, sugar-mixed tomatoes, and spicy and sour shrimp with lemon.
These ten cold dishes looked fresh and clean, and Lao Zhang couldn't help but feel a little proud: "How are they? Are these cold dishes well made?"
"Tsk! Isn't it the same stuff we've eaten before? It's nothing!"
Someone swallowed and said, "Wow! That's quite creative! The presentation is nice, but the taste is not certain."
Lao Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Alright, just pretend! Let's sit down and eat while we talk."
In fact, Lao Zhang was quite proud of himself because he made a very good cold dish.
A lot of people came today, including Zhou Erpao and his army.
"See those people? They're all big bosses. You have to perform well today.
If you are noticed by the leaders, they will take you directly to the capital, and then your good days will come."
Zhou Jun nodded quickly and said, "I understand. I'll go over and toast you later."
"Well... it's good to know, but don't be too deliberate. If you are too humble, people will only be disgusted with you. Just communicate with them in a generous manner and show your face." Zhou Erpao said in a low voice.
Zhou Jun nodded quickly and said, "I know everything."
"Your third uncle will be here soon. I will talk to him about your work and see how he will arrange it in the future." Zhou Erpao said.
Zhou Jun nodded and was about to toast when he saw Lin Weiguo, Lin Weimin and Lin Weihua walk in.
There were many people from Linjia Village behind them, including Lin Feng, Dapang and Xiaopang.
Zhou Jun was dumbfounded: "Hey! You... why are you here?"
Lin Weiguo glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.
After the cold dishes were served, it was time for the hot dishes. The first dish was steamed Australian lobster with garlic, followed by stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised pork ribs, pig-killing dish, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, steamed grouper, stir-fried crab in typhoon shelter, sea cucumber with scallions, braised abalone, seafood family stew, nourishing mutton soup, three fresh vegetables, seasonal vegetables in soup, and finally candied sweet potato and old-fashioned pot cake.
These were dishes most people couldn't get. Lao Zhang ate them with his mouth full of oil: "They're so delicious! Do you think they're delicious?"
Old Master Gu nodded and said, "It's delicious, really delicious. But why does it taste so familiar?"
Old Zhang laughed heartily and said, "Are you convinced? Hurry up and pay. I'll give it to the cook later. I hired this cook with great difficulty."
Mr. Gu has a very picky taste, so he can tell whether something is good or not just by eating it.
"Hahaha..." Everyone at the table laughed. They directly paid 100 yuan. Old Zhang shouted, "Auntie Zhang, call the chef in the backyard and tell her that we have a distinguished guest. We are curious about what she looks like and want to see her..."
Aunt Zhang quickly ran to the back and said, "Panpan, hey! You're so lucky! My master wants you to go to the front!"
Lin Panpan wiped her hands and said, "The birthday cake is ready, let's take it out!"
There were fifty birthday cakes in total, all made of cream. In this era of relative material scarcity, making a cream birthday cake was undoubtedly a daunting challenge.
But if she wanted to do it, she could certainly do it. Lin Panpan walked to the front with 50 birthday cakes. Zhou Jun's eyes widened when he saw her: "Lin Panpan, why are you here?"
Lin Panpan ignored him and asked Lin Weiguo to divide the cake. These people had never seen cake before!
There was a little man on the cake. Lin Panpan walked up to Old Zhang with a smile and said, "Old Zhang, are you looking for me?"
“Hahaha…Come on, Panpan! These are my old friends, they want to meet you.
We made a bet today: if the food is delicious, I'll give you 1000 yuan. They didn't believe me at first, but I helped you win this." Lao Zhang smiled proudly.
Old Master Gu beside him also laughed and said, "I was wondering why today's dishes looked so familiar. It turns out you cooked them!"
Lin Panpan smiled and said, "Grandpa Gu, what a coincidence!"
"Hey! Lao Zhang and I have been friends for decades. Have you had lunch? If not, come sit here and have something to eat." Old Master Gu said with his eyes narrowed.
"Hey! No, it's Lao Gu! What do you mean? Do you know each other?" asked the person next to him.
"I know her, I know her. I'm very familiar with her, just like my own granddaughter." Mr. Gu said directly.
Mr. Gu has always had a strange temper. Although he smiles at outsiders, he is never overly enthusiastic. His attitude is extraordinary!
Zhou Erpao and Zhou Jun watched from a distance, shocked. Zhou Erpao muttered softly, "When did Lin Panpan get to such a high-ranking official?"
Zhou Jun shook his head and said:
"I don't know either! I've never heard of this before. She's really amazing now.
Uncle, do you think he cooked this dish?"
Shen Chuxia's mouth was full of oil as she ate. She didn't know why she couldn't control herself recently and always felt very hungry.
It might be because of the twins, but their appetite is amazing.
She ate the entire table by herself, and the others couldn't stand it: "Eat, eat, eat, you're like a starving ghost, and I haven't eaten anything yet!"
"That's right! It's like he hasn't eaten anything in his entire life. Even a pig can't eat so much! Will you let me eat more?"
These were all members of the brigade. At first, they were embarrassed to act out of consideration for Zhou Erpao's face.
But now they really can’t stand it anymore. Most of the food on the table has been eaten by Shen Chuxia, and they haven’t eaten anything!
Some of them were smart and just took away everything they wanted to eat, but some did not take anything out of courtesy. Now they are all gone, with nothing left.
