Chapter 1762: The Chinese New Year banquet for boss Tong

Translator: 549690339 

As mentioned before, Wu Yungui had set foot in the department store industry, so he had rented warehouses all over the country.

Wu Yungui’s first reaction was,”Boss Yuan, are you preparing for some large-scale activity again?” There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

“It’s a private matter. I’m not holding any activities.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“Oh, how big is the storage unit? What kind of place and shape do you need?” Wu Yungui asked.

According to the types, there were flat, multi-story, underground, high floor, containers, and so on. This did not include open air and simple shed.

“I’ll make a phone call and record the part where boss Yuan asks for more accurately. I hope you don’t mind. ” Wu Yungui said. Naturally, Yuan Zhou agreed with him and thanked him at the same time. From his attitude, it could be seen that Wu Yungui was very attentive.

Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then described some of his requirements for the warehouse, the most important of which was the size and position.

“OK, I got it. So when will boss Yuan want this warehouse?” Wu Yungui asked.

“The faster the better.” Yuan Zhou answered.

After that, the two of them didn’t make any small talk on the phone.

After Wu Yungui hung up the phone, he listened to the phone recording twice, and then copied down the requirements for the warehouse word for word. Then he carefully thought about it. What kind of private activity would need such a large warehouse?

From Yuan Zhou’s description, he could roughly conclude that it was at least twice the size of an ordinary warehouse. The word “twice” meant that the length, width, and height were both twice. With Wu Yungui’s imagination, he couldn’t have imagined that. Fortunately, he wasn’t very curious. The grass on the grave of those who were curious in the business world would be three meters tall.

Wu Yungui was very active. He had already started to make calls to look for it, but there was no doubt that this kind of warehouse was very difficult to find. Just thinking about it, it was obvious that such a large warehouse was not practical.

After a few phone calls, they did not even find a storage unit that was similar to the target storage unit, let alone a suitable one. Wu Yungui was lost in thought. He patted his big belly, which was similar to what Liu Li did.

Liu Li was one of the few people in the shop who was even fatter than Wu Yungui. Her stomach was like a pregnant woman. When she patted it, it made a “pa pa” sound. At first, Wu Yungui felt pain, but when he patted his stomach, he felt quite comfortable.

“If it doesn’t work, I can fix it according to the requirements …” Wu Yungui pondered.

Having hung up the phone, Yuan Zhou started to practice his cooking skills. However, this afternoon, he was not practicing his knife skills, but making Wu chicken. He would make Wu chicken for Mr. MA before the new year as a New Year gift.

As mentioned before, the cooking method of the Wu chicken wasn’t complicated. What was difficult was that the meat was boneless and the skin wasn’t broken. It required a lot of physical strength. The reason Mr. MA handed the Wu chicken to Yuan Zhou was that he couldn’t cook it anymore due to his physical strength. Yuan Zhou had never written the Wu chicken on the menu.

It was impossible for Yuan Zhou to finish one serving of Wu chicken. Moreover, he had known from the very beginning that he couldn’t finish it. Therefore, he ate half of it and kept the other half in an insulated box.

That afternoon, Yuan Zhou carried the thermal lunch box and went to the building of Yin ya’s company. Of course, he had told her about this beforehand.

“What’s the matter, blockhead, for you to look for me in such a hurry?” Yin ya’s small face was rosy. It could be seen that she had trotted down.

“I told you on WeChat that there’s no need to rush down.” “It’s something that you can’t find outside. I brought it here for you to try, Xiaoya,”Yuan Zhou said while carrying the thermal container.

“Uh …” Yin ya immediately answered,””It’s three in the afternoon now. I had lunch at 12:30. I’m not hungry now, so I won’t eat. ”

“It’s perfect for afternoon tea now. It’s delicious. Xiaoya, are you really not going to eat it?” While saying that, Yuan Zhou slightly opened the thermal insulation cover. They weren’t in the restaurant now and were protected by the black technology. Therefore, the fragrance instantly entered Yin ya’s nose.

Yin ya did see that the thermal container contained a chicken dish. Of course, she didn’t know that it was the legendary Imperial Cuisine, the cream cream chicken. However, its appearance was quite good. Yin ya instantly moved her eyes away. She felt that this thermal container was poisonous. If she kept looking at it, she would definitely lose control.

However, it was useless even if she looked away. Without the control of the black technology, the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhou with the top-notch ingredients and the top-notch cooking methods were really too fragrant. It was no exaggeration to say that Yin ya wasn’t hungry at all. Just as she said, she finished her lunch at 12:30. However, when she smelled the fragrance, she even wanted to eat two more bowls of rice.

“No, I’m not eating! I ate two bowls of rice this afternoon, so I can’t eat anything in the afternoon! You’ll get fat. ” Yin ya’s tone was quite resolute. Apparently, she was trying to convince herself. Then, she suddenly took a step back and prepared to keep a distance from the dangerous person in front of her.

But could food be separated by distance? It was obviously impossible.

“Xiao Ya, are you really not going to consider it? this dish is called Wu chicken, and it’s a dish that’s going to be lost. Because of some problems with the cooking method, it’s still a very precious dish even in ancient times. You won’t get to eat it again and again.” Yuan Zhou moved the thermal container forward and the fragrance drifted to Yin ya along with this movement.

Upon hearing Yuan Zhou’s words and the fragrance floating in the air, Yin ya let out her last bit of stubbornness and said while gnashing her teeth,””Is this the main dish for your afternoon tea?”

Why was he gritting his teeth? Because if he didn’t grit his teeth, his stomach wouldn’t let his brain say those words.

“Yes, this is the main dish for my family’s desserts. Yaya, you’re from my family, so there’s nothing wrong with eating this.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said earnestly.

When the delicious food and the romantic words of a straight man suddenly came at her, Yin ya gave up resisting instantly. She reached out her hand to take the thermal container. However, the weight of the container made her feel a little guilty inside. Therefore, she added,”Blockhead, let me tell you, this is the last time. I don’t have the habit of eating desserts in the afternoon.”

“No problem, don’t worry.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and agreed.

As it was still Yin ya’s working hours, Yuan Zhou didn’t delay her any longer. After delivering the Wu chicken, Yuan Zhou went back to Taoxi road.

When he arrived at the restaurant, he looked at the time. There was still some time left before he prepared the ingredients for dinner. Therefore, he couldn’t waste any time. Yuan Zhou made use of the time and continued to ponder on his culinary skills.

Recently, Yuan Zhou had been pondering about Shandong cuisine. Aunt Tong was going back to Chengdu for the Chinese New Year this year. As a chef, and a very famous one at that, Yuan Zhou’s first reaction was to let aunt Tong have a big meal.

In fact, according to Yuan Zhou’s current culinary skills, a big meal was very simple. But since it was specially prepared for aunt Tong, there must be some intention in it. After thinking about it, it was quite a suitable choice to go to the tofu banquet.

The tofu banquet was a famous traditional banquet. At first, it was served by the traditional concierges of the red and white wedding. Later, due to development, it became a separate banquet food. Alright, these were not the main points. The main point was that the tofu banquet was Lu cuisine!

Among them, the main dish, first grade tofu, and the gathering of the Eight Immortals at the Jade pool could be said to be one of the representative dishes of Lu cuisine.
