Chapter 307: A pair of clever ghosts

Speaking of the master chefs of this gang, Master Li ranked second, and no one dared to rank first.

It is no exaggeration to say that Master Li is definitely a top chef at the national treasure level.

In his last life, Li Weidong never had the opportunity to taste Master Li's cooking skills, or even taste the craftsmanship of Master Li's apprentices.

Now that I know that Master Li has not yet retired, Li Weidong certainly cannot miss this opportunity. He must taste Master Li's superb cooking skills.

One of the dishes that Master Li is best at is shrimp and black ginseng, which is also a traditional famous dish in the local cuisine.

If you want to make this dish well, you must not only pay attention to the ratio of seasonings, but also pay attention to the heat. There are deviations in the seasoning ratio, and the heat is too large or too small, and the best taste cannot be produced.

Of course, if Master Li was to do it in person, he would either have a prominent status or pay extra money.

Whether it is Cao Kenan, an engineer, or Cao Yi, the section chief of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, they are obviously not prominent. As for Zhou Yunsheng and Su Qian, although they have the identities of Taiwan compatriots, they are not enough for Master Li to go out in person.

So in the end, it still has to rely on the service fee to let Master Li cook in person.

For Li Weidong, it was a worthwhile trip to be able to eat the shrimp and big black ginseng made by Master Li himself. As for the service fee, it was completely out of Li Weidong's consideration, and he didn't even bother to ask.

The local tyrants eat, how can they ask the price!

However, the opposite Cao Kenan felt extremely bitter in his heart. Although he had never eaten the shrimp and black ginseng made by Master Li, as an engineer, he had seen some things in the world, and he knew that asking such a master to take action would definitely be expensive. The so-called service charge may be more expensive than the dish money.

Cao Ke really wanted to ask how much the extra service fee was charged. Li Weidong had already ordered the dishes, so asking the price at this time would be a shame!

At this time, Cao Keyan couldn't express his bitterness. On the surface, he had to pretend to be generous, but he secretly thought in his heart: Where is this prodigal nephew, how can I pick up expensive specialties? Forget it, I have to invite Master Li to cook in person!

Cao Kenan subconsciously touched the pocket in his pocket, thinking in his heart whether he should take the opportunity of urinating to go home to get the passbook, and then quickly go to the bank to get some money.

However, at this time, the waiter said again: Our shrimp and black ginseng are charged by the portion. Do we have one serving per person here?

As soon as he heard the charge by portion, Cao Kenan immediately said, I don't want it anymore, I'm allergic to shrimp!

Cao Yi also saw his father's desire to save money, and immediately said, I inherited my father's inheritance, and I am also allergic to shrimp!

Cao Yi said and looked at Cao Kenan, as if to say, Baba, you can see that my ability to adapt to changes is not bad!

Cao Kenan also looked at Cao Yi, with a hint of compliment in his eyes, as if he was saying, he really deserves to be my son, knowing to save money for Baba, our father and son are really a pair of clever ghosts!

Li Weidong made an annoyed expression: If I knew that Uncle Cao was allergic to shrimp, I shouldn't have ordered the braised prawns! This is good,

When the food came, Uncle Cao couldn't eat it either.

It's okay to eat shrimp, but I can't eat shrimp! I'm not allergic to prawns. Cao Kenan explained quickly.

Braised prawns are not charged according to the number of servings. If you don’t eat them, you will lose a lot!

Li Weidong nodded suddenly: Okay, tell the kitchen that you need to choose a male for braised prawns! The male has no shrimp.

...

After a while, the restaurant began to serve food, and the shrimp and black ginseng served by Master Li himself was naturally served as the finale.

Every dish is delicious and worthy of being the most authentic local dish.

However, what Cao Ke is unpalatable is the same as chewing wax.

This is not river eel, not buckled three silk, not prawn, not quail, not pomfret... This is all the money I have worked so hard to save!

At this time, Cao Kenan was full of regrets. He had nothing to do with his clothes. If he wanted to do it, he had to choose something that didn't cost money. Why did he have to choose a place to eat!

One sentence is open to order casually, and as a result, people really order casually!

Speaking of which, you are the eldest nephew of the prodigal family, I can't hear that I'm talking politely. I asked you to order whatever you want. You really want to order whatever you want. Even Master Li invited him out! Can't you just imitate your father and be a little more polite?

Cao Ke couldn't think of this. He glanced at Li Weidong inadvertently, but found that Li Weidong had finished eating the shrimp and big black ginseng, then stood up and said softly, Go to the bathroom!

You're good, just eat and drink well, you have to keep it up! Have pity on my wallet, I'm going to eat pickles next month. Cao Kenan couldn't help screaming in his heart.

This meal, Cao Ke was unpleasant and unhappy. Every time he put down his chopsticks, he felt a pain in the flesh.

Finally, when everyone was full, Cao Kejin got up and went to pay.

Cao Kenan walked to the front desk and said, Comrade, settle the bill! It's in private room 307.

The front desk looked at the list in his hand and said, The 307 private room has been settled.

Have you settled the bill? Who settled it? Cao Kenan asked subconsciously.

A young lad! replied the receptionist.

Young guy, could it be that our family's Cao Yi has come to settle the bill? Hey, this kid only gets paid that much in normal times. For this meal, it's estimated that several months' salary has gone into it! Cao Kenan secretly thought to himself.

The waiter at the front desk went on to say: That young man is in his early twenties. He is tall and energetic. He wears a shirt, speaks Mandarin, and uses a credit card...

The front desk clerk began to describe the other person's appearance.

Cao Ke is hard to hear, this is definitely not his son Cao Yi. First of all, Cao Yi is not in his early twenties, he is almost 30 years old, and secondly, although Cao Yi is in his early 70s, he has nothing to do with the three words big and tall.

Third, if Cao Yi came to pay the bills, he would definitely speak dialect. In his own city, he was not required to speak Mandarin. Those who spoke Mandarin were generally from outsiders.

The most important point is that Cao Yi does not have a credit card!

In the future, banks are begging customers to apply for credit cards. And in 1991, the credit card was arguably a status symbol. It is impossible for ordinary people to apply for a credit card. Only the so-called successful people are qualified to apply for a credit card.

Of course, in that era, credit cards were not easy to swipe. Only big merchants in big cities had machines to swipe credit cards.

The next second, Cao Kenan suddenly realized that the young guy the waiter was talking about was Li Weidong!

Li Weidong's height of 1.8 meters was considered a tall man at the time, and Li Weidong was out of the house and spoke Mandarin, so he was afraid that others would not be used to speaking in dialect.

Li Weidong is the bank's VIP middle P, of course he has a credit card, but this thing is useless in Qinghe, because there is basically no place where you can swipe your card.

However, if you go to a big city on business, you will have a credit card in hand to enter and exit some high-end places, talk business with customers, and pay and check out. It will be more convenient and very compelling.

Thinking that Li Weidong just went to the bathroom once, Cao Kenan finally understood that Li Weidong's so-called going to the bathroom actually came out to check out.

Oh, this eldest nephew actually helped me settle the account. I really didn't see it. This eldest nephew is quite sensible! Cao Kenan's mood suddenly became much more relaxed.

After eating such an expensive meal, Cao Kenan was already planning to bleed a lot, and now he didn't have to pay a penny, but someone helped him settle the bill, which saved a lot of money!

The next second, Cao Keyan suddenly realized something.

Oh, if I had known someone had paid the bill, I wouldn't have said that I was allergic to shrimp. Master Li's hand-made shrimp and black ginseng can't be eaten once in a lifetime. I missed it abruptly! How much thought, it turned out to be helping others save money! My shrimp and big black ginseng!

Cao Kenan suddenly looked like he was about to cry but had no tears, and the mood that had just been relieved just now became annoyed again.
