Chapter 189 What kind of chef are you hiring?
Lin Panpan looked at him and said, "Zhang Xiang, don't you think this is a little strange? Why did Li Fusheng insist on booking this banquet with you?"
Zhang Xiang scratched his head and said:
"We usually have some business dealings, like us traders.
They all have their own territories and connections, and sometimes they will keep each other informed, so don't think too much about it.
He heard that you cook very good meals, so he came to see me."
Lin Panpan nodded. It was a tiring day. When Gu Mobai came over in the evening, Lin Panpan took out a dish and said, "These are all Grandpa's favorites. You can take them back later."
Gu Mobai looked at the two large pots and said, "You don't have to be so generous! How can the old man eat so much?"
"Isn't it you? I've got a goose stewed in an iron pot, and I've also made some pickled fish. Can you please send it back quickly?"
"Ah? You asked me to go back as soon as I arrived? Lin Panpan, why do I feel like you deliberately sent me away?" Gu Mobai stared at Lin Panpan.
Lin Panpan said helplessly: "Why should I send you away? But I'm really tired today, my back and waist are sore, I plan to go back and rest first."
Gu Mobai grabbed her hand and felt her pulse. "Your period is here? No wonder! Do you want me to make you some brown sugar water?"
"Oh! No, no, I'm not that valuable. I'll just go back and have a good sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow."
Gu Mobai went back only after sending Lin Panpan home.
As soon as I got home, I saw Jiang Si standing at the door and said, "Brother Gu, you're back?"
Gu Mobai looked at her and said, "Are you looking for my grandfather to see a doctor?"
"No... not really. I heard you're having a banquet tomorrow! I'm going there too. I'm not familiar with the place, am I?
I just want to ask if you can take me with you tomorrow?" Jiang Si looked at him and said.
Gu Mobai said coldly: "I don't know you well..."
After saying that, he strode directly into the medicine shop. Jiang Si was so angry that she stamped her feet and pulled Jixiang and said, "Jixiang, why is your young master like this?"
Jixiang coughed and said, "Oh! Isn't my young master always like this? Just get used to it, just get used to it. I'm going to eat now!"
He saw his young master carrying back two basins of food, but he didn't know what they were.
This must be what Lin Panpan asked him to bring back. Lin Panpan’s craftsmanship is really impeccable.
The young master is really fast. Jiang Si is quite pretty, but unfortunately she is still far inferior to Lin Panpan.
Jiang Si stamped her feet before turning around and walking back. She heard that Gu Mobai had a girlfriend, but she was unwilling to accept it. Although others didn't know, she knew that Gu Mobai was the young master of the Gu family in Beijing.
How could a country girl like Lin Panpan, who was married for the second time, be worthy of him?
He was just confused for a moment, and he will be fine after a while.
Gu Mobai directly took out the iron pot to stew the goose, and then took out the pickled fish. Mr. Gu's face was full of smiles:
"Oh my! My granddaughter-in-law is really good! How come she is so good?
Every day he thinks of me, an old man, who is much more reliable than my grandson."
Gu Mobai coughed and said, "This is only because of my face. Otherwise, how could you eat such delicious food?"
"Hehe... I don't know who it is, but you seemed to be lost and just sat there in a daze all day long. You seem to be fine now, but it's a pity that people have forgotten about you a long time ago." Old Master Gu said with a smile.
Gu Mobai was also embarrassed: "Nonsense, she definitely can't forget me, aren't we together now?"
"Since we are together, we must cherish each other."
"I know this. I finally caught up with her and I will never let her go." Gu Mobai said calmly.
Old Master Gu laughed and said, "You are stubborn, but all the men in our Gu family are stubborn."
"Does that include my uncle?"
"Can you please stop mentioning my uncle? He's an exception." Old Master Gu sighed silently, "Your uncle is also a miserable person. How could he fall in love with a married woman?"
All the men in the Gu family are like this. Gu Mobai sighed softly and said, "So what if she's married? If I like her, I'll have to snatch her back."
Early the next morning, Lin Panpan took people to Li Fusheng's house. Li Fusheng lived in Qingmei Lane, which is also an old alley.
As soon as I got to the door, I saw many people whispering, "Isn't it just a full moon banquet? Is it necessary for people to come back?"
"I heard that the guests here are very expensive, one table costs several hundred!"
"Wow! Li Fusheng's family has made great progress!"
Lin Panpan knocked on the door, but it didn't budge. She frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Lin Feng also went forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Lin Panpan shouted, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"
But still no one answered, Lin Panpan shouted: "Dear neighbors, is anyone home?"
The neighbors all said, "Someone's here! They told us last night they'd have someone over for dinner today!"
"Then why didn't anyone open the door when I knocked?" Lin Panpan asked anxiously, "Do you think I should call the police? What if something happens to their family and no one knows?"
"Oh! Isn't it true? I heard that there was a family whose entire family was poisoned to death in one night. You have no idea how miserable that family was! No one even knew until the bodies rotted away."
"I think I've heard that it wasn't far away. I wonder if their family was also killed!"
"Then I'll call the police! So that I don't have to..."
"Squeak..." Everyone heard the door open, and the old woman inside cursed:
"What kind of chef did they hire? He's so mean, he actually came to our house and cursed us for trouble. He's totally shameless.
I'm telling you, if you don't cook a good meal for our family today, I'll overturn your stove."
Lin Panpan saw a woman with her hands on her hips, cursing loudly. Beside her stood Yangmei, who was pregnant. Yangmei looked at her and smiled:
"Hey! Lin Panpan, you really came to be a cook! Tsk tsk tsk tsk...
So you have to serve us well today. If the food is not good, you have to return the money to us."
Lin Panpan smiled faintly and said:
"Are you done? Can we go in?"
If you don’t want to treat me, that’s fine, just deduct the money for these dishes.”
Li Fusheng came out and said:
"Oh! Chef Lin, right? No, no, please come in.
We agreed before that my mother doesn’t know anything and you don’t need to bother with her.”
Yang Mei stamped her feet and said, "Brother, why are you helping her?"
Li Fusheng looked at her lovingly and said, "Okay, the guests will be here soon, and we can't do without a cook. Now that you have a child, just stay in the room, okay?"
