At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Xu drove his car and took Dundun to Diaoyutai.

Parking the car in the parking lot in front of Building 2, he got out of the car with the sleepy Dundun in his arms and strode towards the front desk of Building 2.

Last night, I played billiards with my father-in-law, who is known as Yanjing Ding Junhui, in the gym on the first floor until almost twelve o'clock. Dundun also stayed with me until twelve o'clock, which made me feel depressed now.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law angrily pinched the father-in-law’s ears and dragged him away, otherwise the little guy might have stayed with her till what time.

The eucalyptus, billiards, and cues on the first floor are all high-end goods, and the venue is spacious enough. In addition, it has been a long time since I played billiards, which makes Lin Xu a little addicted.

When I have time, I have to continue discussing with my father-in-law.

Let him feel how powerful Trump is!

"Wow, are you Dundun? Hello, hello, there are a lot of his little toys here, and Chef Xie specifically told not to throw them away, but to leave them for this little cat to play with."

As soon as I walked in, the front desk manager wearing a cheongsam greeted me.

Senior brother introduced her in the tea room yesterday. Her surname is Gu and her name is Gu Junli.

"Hello, Manager Gu, Dundun likes to lie down at the front desk and sleep at work. I hope you can take care of her."

"You're welcome, Master Lin, this is what I should do."

Dundun struggled to jump from Lin Xu's arms to the front desk, held its small cushion in his mouth and pulled it to the side, trying not to affect the normal work of the front desk, then lay down on the cushion and continued to sleep.

Gu Junli, who picked up the small toy and wanted to play with it, suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.

I heard that when Shu Yun was here, this little guy was as clingy to her as a child. Why would I look like a stinker if it were me?

Could it be that in this world, not only people look at faces, but cats also learn to look at faces?

Lin Xu saw the toy in her hand and reminded her:

"Dundun played for too long last night and didn't get much sleep, so I guess I need to sleep a little longer today. When he wakes up, he will come to play with you. He likes to play with beautiful women."

When Gu Junli heard this, she looked at Dundun with even more curiosity.

Huh? Aren’t you still a perverted cat?

Lin Xu came all the way to the kitchen.

After seeing Che Zai and the others, they all came over to say hello.

If the boss doesn't come over, they should all wonder if they were sold to Diaoyutai.

"We will be able to go to the new store in about a week. Just hold on."

As soon as they heard that the new store would be open for another week, several people immediately became energetic.

"Ah, great, I can finally go back to work!"

"The kitchen here is so busy, I can't get used to it."

"That is, I can only find work for myself every day. Today I am going to cut twenty pounds of shredded potatoes."

"I just made some dough. I don't have to do anything today. I'm just going to practice rolling the dough with my hands."

Tsk tsk tsk...

Such enterprising spirit does not justify such a high salary.

Lin Xu knew that they were under great pressure.

After all, the new restaurant is following the route of a high-end restaurant, and their craftsmanship can only be practiced on the side, so they are practicing hard now, hoping to be able to stand alone in the kitchen soon.

"Pay attention to the balance between work and rest, don't be tired."

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Xu waved his hand and told everyone to go about their business.

It was still early, and the original dishes had been handed over to other chefs. He had nothing to do and wandered to the aquatic area to see if there were any fish, shrimps and crabs that needed to be rescued.

10:30 am.

After eating the lunch prepared by chef Cheng Jianshe, everyone entered a tense and busy state.

Today, the Ministry of Commerce will hold a high-standard banquet in the banquet hall on the third floor of the restaurant, and all the dishes will be scrupulous.

"Junior brother, are there any dishes on this menu that you can cook?"

Lin Xu had already studied the menu of the Ministry of Commerce before lunch, and he was not polite to his senior brother:

"Braised prawns, fried whitebait, ginger lotus root strips... I can cook these three dishes."

Lin Xu is good at home-cooked dishes, such as dry stir-fry, sweet and sour, boiled, black bean sauce and other techniques, but he rarely makes such dishes for business banquets.

For example, the dishes on the menu this time are all dishes suitable for one person, such as herb beef, cod in sauce, lotus pork short ribs, rosemary beach lamb, etc.

Each portion is small, either on a plate or in a cup, which is completely different from the usual dishes.

"Huh? You can also braise prawns, junior brother? Come on, our senior brother will let the people from the Ministry of Commerce see the strength of Building 2 today!"

All the dishes to be used now have been prepared.

When it comes to cooking, Cheng Jianshe and other chefs personally do the work to ensure the quality of the dishes as much as possible.

Lin Xu took the prepared prawns and cooked them.

Xie Baomin was a little worried at first, but when he saw his junior brother's operation, he was shocked. He actually still did it the old way. Today, the people in the Ministry of Commerce are really lucky.

Noon is coming.

Dishes were brought to the third floor in an orderly manner.

After Lin Xu finished his work, he wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, then took the bowl and took a bowl of unused matsutake soup to taste.

Well, this tastes really fresh.

No wonder matsutake has been rated as one of the three top ingredients. Its delicious taste is simply amazing.

After tasting it, he took some packed lunch boxes.

I picked up some unused vegetables and soup and packed some, then called an errand to deliver them to Baby Shen.

This girl has not been to work since the last cooking competition. She just happened to pack some more dishes for Uncle Tan to try, so as not to deduct the salary of the baby.

In Dongming Building.

Shen Jiayue, who was fishing in the water, received the message from Lin Xu and immediately ran into Tan Yajun's office.

"Uncle Tan, don't ask Assistant Yuan to buy lunch for you today. It will be delicious later!"

Tan Yajun was browsing the information and asked curiously:

"What's delicious? Xiaoxu opened a small stove for you again?"

"No, there is a banquet hosted by the Ministry of Commerce in Building 2 today. There are some leftover dishes. Xu Bao has just secretly packed some and will deliver them to you later as he runs errands. Just in time for you to try them too."

The banquet dishes of the Ministry of Commerce?

Tan Yajun is interested.

The banquets that can be held at Diaoyutai are of high standard, and Building 2 is notoriously mysterious, and the food there is absolutely delicious.

He said to Shen Baobao:

"It will be delivered later and you can take it directly to the reception room. The table there is spacious and it is much better than sitting in the office to eat."

"Okay!"

Not long after.

The errand boy came to the door of the office area carrying two tightly packed large handbags:

"Shen Jiayue, your package!"

"Come on, come on!"

Shen Baobao quickly ran over, thanked the errand boy, then took it and carried two bags to the reception room of the audit office.

Open the bag.

Bring out dishes one by one.

While he was busy, Tan Yajun walked in with two cups of freshly brewed tea:

"What kind of dishes are there?"

"Hmm... there are a lot of them, beef short ribs, mutton and so on... Hey, there are also braised prawns. It looks like it was made by Xu Bao. He has made it several times in his hometown."

Baobao Shen opened the box containing braised prawns, and there were eight prawns lying quietly inside.

Each one is plump, ruddy in color, and exudes a rich aroma.

When Tan Yajun saw it, he couldn't take his eyes away:

"Hey, this is Cuihualou's signature dish. Xiaoxu can even cook this dish. I'll have to try it later!"

Over there at Diaoyutai.

After finishing his work in the kitchen, Lin Xu cut some remaining cod meat and brought it to Dundun.

Adults eat delicious food, and children also have to satisfy their cravings.

Taking advantage of the banquet hosted by the Ministry of Commerce, let Dundun have a taste of it. It just so happens that this little guy hasn't eaten cod meat yet.
