Volume 4: Heroes Shed No Tears Chapter 102 Chang'an Residence

Living in Chang'an is not easy.
Chang'an Ju is the most famous restaurant and teahouse in Chang'an.
But Changanju Restaurant and Changanju Teahouse are two completely different stores.
Chang'an Restaurant is located in the west of the city. It has a spacious garden, elegant utensils and gorgeous decoration. Both the service and the food are highly praised by guests.
There is also a plum garden outside, which adds a touch of elegance and uniqueness to the restaurant.
Today is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month.
The restaurant is already open.
Moreover, as soon as the business opened, several new odd jobs were hired.
Among them, there was a man who worked diligently and skillfully, and was assigned to wash dishes, sweep the floor, and chop firewood in the kitchen.
Everyone calls him Xiao Su.
Xiao Su seldom talked, but whenever he had time he would take out a few old books and look through them carefully. No matter who asked him about books, he would never reveal a single word.
He was always able to wash his bowls, chopsticks, plates and platters very quickly. No matter how dirty the dishes were, once he touched them, they would almost immediately become clean and look brand new. It was magical.
So even though he sometimes takes time to slack off, no one would say anything to him.
Until seven days later.
Once, the oil in the pot was already hot, but the chef suddenly felt an unbearable stomachache due to something he ate. He hurriedly dropped the spatula and ran away.
The chefs are in charge of cooking in the kitchen. Each chef has an independent kitchen and is equipped with a separate handyman.
So there is no other chef to replace him at this moment.
Xiao Su took the spatula and fried two dishes for him.
When the chef came back, he couldn't help but worry that the two dishes were not cooked well and would ruin the customers' appetite.
So he blamed Xiao Su, "You are just a dishwasher, how can you cook?"
Xiao Su explained: "But the food in the pot is already ready, and the waiter is urging us to serve it. If we don't serve the food, won't we keep the guests waiting for a long time?"
The chef acted like a chef in a restaurant and criticized, "It's not a big deal to ask the customers to wait. If you ruin the restaurant's reputation and my reputation as a chef, I will hold you accountable!"
Xiao Su stopped talking.
He felt that such trivial matters were not worth his concern.
He stood aside and cleaned the ground silently.
However, after a while, the waiter outside suddenly called out, "Bring two more servings of the 'Nine-flavor Imperial Concubine Chicken' and 'Dengying Beef' that we just made."
This time, the chef naturally didn't let Xiao Su do it again. Instead, he cut the meat, fried the oil, and cooked the vegetables himself, muttering to himself:
"Look, the two dishes you just prepared must have been too bad, and the guests were not satisfied, so they ordered two more. You, you..."
Soon after the two dishes were served.
The boss of Changanju actually walked into the kitchen himself and asked, "Who made the first serving of Dengying Beef?"
The master chef was nervous and glared at Xiao Su fiercely, then smiled reluctantly and said, "Of course I did it."
The boss of Changanju said, "That's not your skill. Your knife skills are not that good."
The master chef had no choice but to tell the truth.
The boss of Changanju walked up to Xiao Su, looked him up and down, looked left and right, and suddenly gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Great, I didn't expect you to have such good knife skills at such a young age, it's amazing. In all the years I've been running the restaurant, this is the first time I've seen 'Dengying Beef' that is as thin as a shadow and as bright as a lamp!"
Dengying Beef is a Sichuan dish that requires great knife skills. The beef must be cut as thin as paper and transparent as a shadow to be considered good. The word "Dengying" comes from this.
The master chef suddenly looked at Xiao Su in surprise.
Xiao Su smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a pity that I don't control the heat very well."
Xiao Su followed the instructions in the "God Chef's Cookbook" to chop vegetables, heat oil, and stir the pan to cook the ingredients. Although his combination of ingredients was a copycat, it was unique and superb, but his skill of controlling the heat was not something that could be learned overnight.
The boss of Changanju waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Not many of the dignitaries who come to Changanju really want to eat here. As long as it's exquisite and good-looking enough, it can show off its face."
"You have given enough face to Sima Dabiaotou today, so I will give you some face as well. There happens to be a vacant kitchen, so from today on, you can take over."
So it only took Xiao Su seven days to go from being a handyman to becoming the chef of "Chang'an Ju".
Three days later, word of mouth about Chef Xiao Su had spread throughout Chang'an City.
When many wealthy tycoons come to Chang'an Ju for dinner, they always ask Xiao Su to cut a piece of meat, show off his beautiful knife skills, and make a meal that is both beautiful and delicious.
The name of the magic chef Xiao Su gradually spread. It was said that even Zhuo Donglai, the second in command of the Grand Escort Agency, had tasted the "Purple Jade Emerald Soup" made by him once.
Xiao Su is Su Weiyun.
Who could have imagined that Su Weiyun, who was rated by Gao Jianfei as one of the six top masters in Chang'an and Luoyang, would come to a restaurant to work as a waiter and cook?
But Su Weiyun really wanted to come.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Isn't this a different kind of world?
Su Weiyun used to be a bodyguard for a young lady, an apprentice , a manager of a garden, and a gold medal killer.
But none of them were as enthusiastic, cheerful and relaxed as the past ten days working as a chef in Chang'an Ju.
——Even Ximen Chuxue, who is as cold as an iceberg, arrogant and aloof, starts to cook and smile; let alone other people?
Cooking is indeed a skill that can cleanse the soul and make people feel the vitality.
Su Weiyun cooked, read the Poison Sutra, comprehended swordsmanship, and familiarized herself with palm techniques. Her life was fulfilling and happy.
He felt that this was life, and he seemed to be far away from the underworld where people could be killed at any time.
But this is often the case, some people can never leave the world.
Even if he doesn't go looking for the Jianghu, the Jianghu will come looking for him.
Big Escort Agency.
Sima Chaoqun, the head of the escort agency, sat on a chair covered with sable fur, drinking wine from a crystal glass.
This chair originally belonged to Zhuo Donglai.
Sima Chaoqun is the only one in the Grand Escort Agency who can do this, and only he can sit in Zhuo Donglai's seat.
There was once a young girl who thought she was very favored and went to sit there. But before she could even stick of incense had passed, she was thrown naked into the snow outside.
Zhuo Donglai came into the room.
Sima Chaoqun asked, "Have you already planned for the Lion Hall?"
Zhuo Donglai said: "Yes. You just need to remember to fight the young swordsman named Gao Jianfei on the first day of February. He is Zhu Meng's friend, and we need to root him out to prevent future troubles!"
Sima Chaoqun said: "I will not lose."
Zhuo Donglai said: "His swordsmanship is not weak, you'd better not be careless."
Sima Chaoqun said angrily: "Anyway, you have already calculated every factor. He won't have the slightest chance of winning against me!"
Zhuo Donglai stopped talking.
The two of them just sat there in silence.
It turns out that in the Grand Escort Agency, all matters big and small were handled by Zhuo Donglai.
Everything was planned by Zhuo Donglai, and Sima Chaoqun was only responsible for being a "hero".
Hero - a heroic idol who is always glamorous, always dazzling, and always undefeated!
The chief escort of the Grand Escort Agency is actually a heroic image that was "deliberately created".
Zhuo Donglai is the man behind the scenes who truly has a well-thought-out plan.
About a cup of tea later.
Zhuo Donglai added: "I sent someone to Chang'an Residence. Gao Jianfei seems to have a good friend there who is very good at martial arts. That person is also a good friend of Zhu Meng!"
Sima Chaoqun took a deep breath, swallowed a mouthful of hot and spicy Shaodaozi, turned around and went into the back hall.
"Don't tell me this kind of thing again."
