Chapter one hundred and seventy-six gluttonous feast(1/2)
"You guys look down on me, Fatty Li, are you saying that I will arrange it, why do you bring a dish one by one?" Fatty Li brought a few more tables to put it together, and moved his own dishes to the edge so that everyone's dishes could be placed in the middle.
This seemingly inconspicuous action represents modesty and no struggle, and has won the favor of everyone.
"I'm worried that you guys will drink later. So I've made a pot of 'sour radish old duck soup' for you to warm your stomach and remove moisture." The boss who appeared in the teahouse last time put a large casserole on the middle and left.
She runs a health soup restaurant in the food street. Her surname is Bai and her skin is also very good, so many customers affectionately call her Aunt Bai.
"I didn't think so much about it. I just roasted a batch of roast duck for everyone to try it." The fat uncle who was slightly smaller than Fatty Li was named Hu Guojun, and opened a roast duck restaurant in the food street. In addition to being nicknamed Hu Erpang, he was also known as the two heroes of the food street together with Fatty Li, which is an alternative "feature".
"Fatty Li, since it's a dinner party, you can't let you work alone. However, I don't have any good food, so I chose some good cherries." A middle-aged man with a thin body and a rosy complexion smiled and placed a bamboo basket in the corner.
"Boss Qiu, your basket of cherries is full and has a deep color, so it's not cheap." Aunt Bai picked up a piece of cake and ate it elegantly. She paid attention to health and had no resistance to fruits.
"It's nothing. If you like to eat, come to my store to buy it at any time and give you the lowest price." Boss Qiu waved his hand.
"Hey, I thought it was free." Hu Erpang started to cheer next to him.
"You... do you think this is what I made of." Boss Qiu rolled his eyes, which made everyone laugh. He runs a boutique fruit shop in the food street. The fruits in the store are very fresh, and it is also a "anomal" who has a good business when the food street declines.
"Come on, this is my baked mousse cake. According to my years of experience, I'm afraid no one will eat rice later." A relatively young man in his early thirties placed a 16-inch cake under the table and kept it for everyone to fill his stomach at the end.
His name is Charlie Zhou, and he is the owner of a cake shop. He pays great attention to his hairstyle. He can always see him habitually taking out a small comb to sort out his hair. As for why the name is so strange, it is because the last two words are transliterated. The original name was Zhou Erwa, but after he became an adult, he followed a trend and changed his name that he thought was tall and generous.
However, just a few years later, he wanted to change his name again, but he is still struggling.
"I'm a spicy chicken..."
“I made the chili chicken noodles…”
"Braised hoofs..."
"This is a dry pot eel section. Look, I brought all the induction cookers. Fatty Li, find me a wiring board..."
"I knew tonight was full of meat dishes. Look, stir-fried water spinach...."
“Dry bait fish…”
…
"I said, everyone, hurry up and help Zhao Si take it, everyone else is about to die!" Aunt Bai's heart was the most meticulous, and immediately saw Zhao Si's hands trembling outside the crowd.
"Oh, why don't you talk?" Hu Erpang and Fatty Li quickly helped Zhao Si catch the pot of braised crayfish and put it in the middle of the big table.
"Boss Zhao's basin is too heavy, too heavy." What Charlie Zhou said was not about weight, but about affection.
"No, no, no, as long as everyone eats happily!" Zhao Si moved the pot of crayfish to the side, leaving the last empty space in the middle.
Seeing this, everyone realized it completely, and then separated from each other and exposed the youngest young man on the scene.
"I didn't prepare any dishes carefully, so I made all the black fish left in the kitchen into pickled fish." Chen Chong smiled slightly and found that the large table was left in the middle and could be placed in the middle. He put it on with embarrassment.
The large table made of eight small tables, with a lineup of nearly twenty people. In addition to the dozen stir-fries and three or four big dishes prepared by Fatty Li, there are also dishes brought by each boss, which adds up to 40 dishes! And half of them are big dishes.
From a distance, it was no longer a table of dishes, but a hill piled up from plates!
"To be honest, this is the first time I see Xiao Chen cooked!"
Everyone was attracted by Chen Chong's sauerkraut fish and walked up to watch.
Although everyone had never talked about this young man who brought the food street back on track and slowly pushed forward on his own, they were full of gratitude in their hearts.
If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be such a party today.
Not only that, because his restaurant is full for a long time, everyone is powerless even if they want to go over to take care of their business, and they can't even rob the young people.
Therefore, although we know that there is such a small pillar in the food street, it is full of mystery, and now we can barely see it.
"It smells so good, I feel very appetizing when I smell it!" Aunt Bai smiled.
"I originally planned to lose weight, but I couldn't lose weight anymore because of this. I said, don't compete with me for pickled fish later, I can do it all by myself!" Hu Erpang snorted.
"Get out." Boss Qiu and a dozen bosses said in unison.
"Haha, I'm the first to compete with you!" When Charlie Zhou was talking, he wanted to take out a small comb from his shirt pocket, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up and just threw his head slightly.
"Everyone is too exaggerating." Chen Chong could hear the exaggeration in everyone's words, but he had no malice, so he shook his head and smiled.
"Oh, I said, are so many of us standing and blowing each other all the time?" Fatty Li suddenly spoke, which made everyone laugh, and a few people immediately took their seats.
"You guys don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young at all, so you can't help me?!"
Just at this moment, an old voice came from afar. When everyone looked back, they saw Mr. Luo standing at the door of his convenience store with his palm-shaped fan shaking his palm-shaped fan, with two boxes of beer piled beside him.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!" A middle-aged man couldn't stop smiling and immediately trotted over and dragged the beer over.
"Hey, my old man doesn't know how to cook anything delicious, so I can only get some beer for you." Old Luo mysteriously lit up his hand behind him, holding a mineral water bottle in his hand. "Who will drink white with me, the old man tonight? This is the best food wine."
"Old Luo, I, Fatty Hu Er, don't like to listen to you. Didn't I just accompany you to make a couple?"
"Get out, there is no one else except you? Mr. Luo, come, sit next to me today, and I will drink with you." Boss Qiu seemed to like to argue with Hu Erpang, and the two of them had come and go.
The others followed suit and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Everyone, let's sit down." As the master, Fatty Li naturally had the obligation to preside over the overall situation. He immediately pressed his hands against everyone. After seeing everyone sitting, he raised the wine glass in front of him, "This is the first glass, toast our party, gu."
"It's done." Zhao Si and Chen Chong sat together, touched the latter's shoulder with their elbows, and said with a smile.
Chen Chong had no choice but to drink it all with everyone.
However, in the hot summer, everyone has been busy for another day. The cold beer is really refreshing, as if the fatigue of the day has disappeared a lot.
"The second cup." Fatty Li signaled everyone to the top, "Celebrating the old trees rejuvenate under the leadership of Boss Chen."
"What old tree is going to be prosperous, just say it's going to be prosperous." Aunt Bai immediately broke her mouth, which made everyone laugh.
Gu...gu...gu...gu...
The sound of throat rolling came from the scene. For these middle-aged men, drinking beer was as stress-free as boiled water.
"The third cup..." Fatty Li raised his glass again, but the glass was held steady, but he didn't know what to say. He was extremely embarrassed for a moment, and his forehead was so anxious that he sweated.
"This is the third cup, I wish our food street a victory in tomorrow's competition!" At the critical moment, Mr. Luo broke the deadlock.
"good!"
Everyone cheered in unison and drank it.
"Can you move your chopsticks?" Someone suddenly asked.
"Don't be polite when you move!" As soon as Fatty Li finished speaking, everyone picked up the chopsticks, and then pointed them at the pot of pickled fish in the middle of the table as if they had discussed in advance!
If you can look down from above, it will be a scent of ambushing and entangled around you.
"Everyone, be careful, don't poke Boss Chen's iron basin."
Fatty Li laughed and took advantage of everyone's attention and took the lead to picking up a piece, but the fish fillet was rotten. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was embarrassed.
With his lesson, the others had experience, gently picked up the fish fillet and sat back to their original position.
The atmosphere on the table suddenly became subtle, and everyone's movements were like slow-release, watching and smelling, just like treating an exquisite work of art.
Unlike ordinary guests, most people on the table are restaurant owners, and the standards for viewing food are naturally high. They are really curious about what the taste is, which can get unanimous praise from customers, and have never heard of negative reviews.
Then, they put it in their mouths at the same time. In just a moment, they looked at each other and saw the amazement in each other's eyes.
"It's really a good thing." Hu Erpang sighed and gave Chen Chong a thumbs up.
In addition to their amazement, there was another person on the table, which was Zhao Si! He had tasted Chen Chong's food for a long time, so he had already taken advantage of the time when everyone was distracted, and he had already crazily picked up several pieces of fish into his bowl, which was so sour.
"Zhao Si, let go of that piece of fish!" Zhou Charlie screamed strangely, interrupting everyone's thoughts, and then without saying a word, he started a fish-catch battle with everyone.
Chen Chong was funny looking around and wanted to reach out to pick up food, but found that there were too many dishes on the table! There were so many that it was impossible to start...
…
More than twenty minutes later, just as everyone was laughing and chanting, a sneer suddenly rang.
"Haha, I haven't been to the food street for a long time, but I saw a bunch of old friends as soon as I came. It's such a coincidence."
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache and a bright leather shoes standing not far away with a smile on his lips.
Then, everyone's smiles were calm and their faces darkened.
"Who is your friend? Don't get in touch with each other as soon as you come up." After a moment of stalemate, a middle-aged man with a simple appearance here said in a muffled voice.
"Who is this person?" Zhao Si asked in a low voice.
"He is called Zhao Xiaokang, a white-eyed wolf." Aunt Bai did not hide her words when she said this, and even deliberately spread the voice.
Zhao Si suddenly realized that this person was one of the three people who left the food street.
"Everyone, I finally came to the food street. Is this your way of hospitality?" Zhao Xiaokang shook his head with a smile.
Chen Chong frowned slightly and thought to himself that this guy was not angry at all when he was targeted by everyone like this. He was definitely a very cunning person.
"Sorry, we dare not receive guests like you, so as not to stab you in the back again." Fatty Li sneered.
"Haha, come on, drink, don't be disturbed by others." Hu Erpang waved to everyone, signaling to ignore it.
"Fatty Li, you seem to have some misunderstandings about me." Zhao Xiaokang lit a cigarette, "Even if I want to poke it, will I choose you? Do you have anything worth my attention? Money? Power? Or... I think about it, or cooking skills?"
"What did you say?!" As soon as this said, Fatty Li was furious.
To be honest, this is the first time Chen Chong has seen Fatty Li get furious. His 300-pound body size and his irritated roar as if even the ground is trembling.
