Zhu Laoer was dressed very clean and formally. This outfit was specially prepared for the meeting of his in-laws that day. Su Le was still wearing his copycat Adi + Nike suit. The master and apprentice took two buses before they arrived at the Yanxi Hall located in Dongting Old Street.

The afterglow of the sunset covers this old Dongting Street. This old street is the most complete street in Nanwu. Most of the buildings are from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Of course, most of them have been renovated. Walking into the old Dongting Street is like walking into the historical scroll. Especially when you step on the sunset and walk towards the twilight, you can feel the vicissitudes and thickness that have been washed by time.

Although Zhu Laoer has been living in Nanwu, he has not been here for fifteen years. In his subconscious, he has been avoiding this place.

Su Le pointed to the antique three-story building in front of him. The building was obviously a bit dilapidated, but the signboard should have been newly replaced, with black background and gold paint, with three vigorous and powerful characters written on it. The signature was Yu Zuozhou. The person who wrote the inscription is now the vice chairman of the CPPCC. When he wrote this character, he was also the Minister of the Municipal Propaganda Department in Nanwu.

Zhu Laoer took out a glasses from somewhere and put them on. It looked a bit more bookish. He stared at the signboard of Yanxi Hall for a long time, as if touched by the big words on it, and unknowingly returned to the era of apprenticing at Yanxi Hall.

When Su Le saw him, he always felt that there was an indescribable funny feeling on his body, but he couldn't tell where the funnyness was.

On the weekend, the business of Yanxi Hall was very good. When the master and apprentice arrived, there were only a few empty seats left in the hall. I don’t know if it was because the guy had changed here or because Mr. Zhu had not visited him for more than 20 years, in short, no one recognized Zhu Laoer, the proud disciple of the Southeast chef god.

Zhu Laoer put on reading glasses and seemed a little unnecessary. The two sat down in a remote corner, and Su Le picked up the menu and handed it to Zhu Laoer.

Zhu Lao Er casually flipped through the menu and sighed softly, "It's changed, everything has changed."

Su Le smiled and said, "You haven't been here for more than ten years, so it's normal to change. This is called keeping pace with the times. If you want to adapt to the trend of the times, you must change."

Zhu Laoer looked at the gate and said, "Business is not as good as before. There was a bench at the door, which was specially arranged for the waiting guests. At this time, the private room upstairs and downstairs were already full."

Su Le flipped through the recipe and saw the Eight Treasures Fairy Egg on the page of the special dishes: "Master, this!" When he gave a guide, he looked at the price of 48 yuan.

Zhu Laoer shook his head and said, "The current chef is Cao Shusheng. He is not the apprentice of my master. How could he make the Eight Treasures Fairy Egg?" There was a sense of disdain in his tone.

Su Le said: "Then it's the devil crab!" Young people like to try novel things, and the same is true for food.

Zhu Laoer glanced at the price of 168. He glared at Su Le fiercely and said, "Would you like me?" He didn't feel sorry for his wallet, but this dish is not the characteristic of Yanxi Hall at all. It should be a dish recently developed by the current chef Cao Shusheng.

"Master, I want to invite you, but I only have 200 yuan on my body. I have the heart but not enough strength. Besides, you have said you want to treat you today."

"I didn't ask you to order such expensive dishes when treating me! Why did you accept such an apprentice as you, you can't even order dishes."

Su Le said: "Master, have you never heard of ordering dishes now is different from the past. You only choose the expensive ones but not the right ones."

"Bah, I'm not asking you to eat and drink, but I'm just letting you get familiar with the atmosphere and environment of the Banquet Hall. It's about to be a competition, so we have to make some preparations."

Su Le said: "If you are familiar with the environment, you have to eat. If we sit here and drink other people's free tea and don't order food, the waiter will have to use a stick to drive us out later."

Zhu Laoer said, "Dare you! The tradition of Yanxi Hall is to treat all guests equally. No matter whether you order a dish or a table of dishes, the service is the same." Seeing Su Le turn the menu to the page of wild turtles, Zhu Laoer quickly snatched it: "I'll order it!"

The waiter came over with an ordering machine. Now the restaurant uses this high-tech thing. It looks like a mobile phone, and the price comes out when ordering. Zhu Laoer doesn't like any high-tech. Think about it, it's better to go there. Every waiter has mastered good handwriting.

Zhu Laoer ordered a shredded potato and fried a shredded green pepper and pork. The two dishes cost less than fifty yuan.

The waiter's face drooped when he ordered the dishes. She recommended: "It's your first time to come to the Banquet Hall. Why don't I recommend a few special dishes to you. Our store's signature dishes are good for devil crab and turtle rice. You may as well try it."

Su Lele looked at Zhu Laoer with a sensation.

Zhu Laoer shook his head like a rattle: "I don't eat aquatic products, these dishes are pretty good."

The waiter's face was obviously not good: "Are you two drinking?"

Zhu Laoer said: "No drink!"

The waiter grabbed the recipe and left without saying a word.

Su Le smiled and said, "Master, is this what you always say equally?"

Zhu Laoer said: "Why is this waiter's attitude? The sign of Yanxi Hall hits the hands of these grandchildren!"

Su Le said: "Now, you just look at the dishes wherever you go. Your consumption amount is directly linked to the bonus that the waiter may receive. You ordered such orders, it would be strange if others are happy."

Zhu Laoer said, "It's all my business to make her happy. If she makes her happy, her wallet will lose weight, and I will be unhappy." When he spoke, he found that Su Le was not listening at all. The boy's eyes were staring outside the door. Zhu Laoer followed his gaze and saw seven or eight boys and girls walking in from outside the door. Su Le stared at the center. The girl was Tang Shi. When Tang Shi appeared, she couldn't help but attract Su Le's attention and attracted the attention of many diners in the hall.

With beautiful colors and dining, Tang Shi's beauty is obviously more attractive than Yanxi Hall's signature dishes.

Tang Shi didn't like this kind of gaze, her face was covered with a layer of shyness, her long black eyelashes were hanging down, and her gaze was mainly focused on her feet, which made her ignore Su Le, who was originally sitting in the corner.

The group of young people went up the stairs and headed straight to the private room upstairs.

Su Le's eyes chased Tang Shi's back until it completely disappeared. Su Le suddenly felt a sharp pain on her head, but Zhu Lao Er turned his chopsticks and slammed heavily on his head. Su Le took a breath of air in pain: "Master..."

Zhu Laoer grinned and said with a wicked smile: "You're sexy?"

Su Le said: "Tsk, I'm so pure!"

"Just that's a big deal, your eyes just now wish you could take off the clothes on the little girl."

Su Le said: "Master, we don't bring such people. I'm all described as a erotic crazy by you."

"What about pornographic maniacs? Food, sex, and sex are all human nature. Apprentice, don't blame the master for not reminding you that you must first pick up the good food into the basket. Even if you don't eat it, you have to lick it first. If you are drooling, others will not be able to do it. There are two things in this world that cannot be given up, food and beauty, and there are two things in this world that you must do yourself to feel the benefits. They are also food and beauty. You must taste it yourself and try it yourself."

Su Le felt that the master’s words were very reasonable. Although they were disgusting, the words were rough but not rough.

Zhu Laoer narrowed his eyes and said, "After that, the girl was really good just now. She was a little thinner. Women are too thin and it is difficult to raise. Apprentice, Master, you can teach you a trick. When looking at women, you should look at their butts first. The bigger the butt, the more delicious it is."

Su Le chuckled. Zhu Laoer's words were obviously based on his daughter Zhu Xiaojiao.

Zhu Laoer said, "Smile, you stared at the little girl for a long time, but they didn't even look at you. I can only dream when I see you."

Su Le said: "I am not the one who looks at her. Who doesn't like to watch beautiful women?"

Zhu Laoer said: "This proves that there is too big a problem with the dishes in Yanxi Hall. If the dishes in Yanxi Hall can still maintain the level of my master when he was alive, then even the appearance of beautiful women will not attract such attention. Although the attractiveness of beauty is great, the attractiveness of food is by no means inferior to that of beauty. No matter how beautiful a woman is, it is only the opposite sex. Once the food is prepared, all of them will be killed regardless of gender, age or age!"

The dishes came when the master and apprentice were talking. The shredded potatoes and shredded green peppers were cut. Although these two dishes were ordinary, they tested the chef's skill. Zhu Laoer glanced at the shredded potatoes and was sieved out by a sieve. He couldn't help but shake his head. He was too lazy to move his chopsticks. Then he looked at the shredded green peppers and shredded pork. The shredded green peppers and shredded bamboo shoots were cut in uneven thickness. Without talking about the taste, he could pass the test just by looking at the knife skills.

Su Le took a bite of green pepper shredded pork. Zhu Laoer often made this dish in the canteen of the Meat Coupon Factory, so Su Le naturally had a standard in his mind. Whether it was knife skills or taste, it was more than a hundred times worse than the master's level. However, a plate of green pepper shredded pork here costs 28 yuan, and the master's fried green pepper shredded pork is only a fraction of the price here.

Zhu Laoer never moved his chopsticks and looked at Su Le and said, "How is it?"

Su Le said: "The material selection of shredded pork is not good. The tenderloin is not used, so it is naturally impossible to stir-fry the tenderloin. The knife work is too poor, and the green peppers and bamboo shoots are cut unevenly in thickness. After entering the pot, it is naturally heated, which causes the heat to be old and tender, and it cannot reflect the crispness of green peppers and bamboo shoots. The MSG is too heavy, and this dish is really a failure. Not to mention that it is not as good as your master, even compared to me." Following Zhu Laoer, Su Le also made a lot of progress.

Zhu Laoer nodded and said, "These two dishes should be fried by apprentices, but as the chef, Cao Shusheng actually put such crude dishes on the diner's table. He obviously did not strictly control the food and lacked responsibility. From this point of view, the decline of Yanxi Hall is by no means accidental."

Su Le said: "I originally planned to come over and learn something. Judging from these two dishes, Yanxi Hall is just like that."
