Siheyuan: Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 232 Inviting Mr. Guan to Dinner

Cai Xiaoli saw Nan Yi in front of her and said, "What are you talking about? Ye Shu is here to invite an elder to dinner and ask you to cook some of his specialties."

"Ye Shu is here? Inviting the elders to dinner? Why doesn't he cook it himself?" It's not that he doesn't want to, but he knows Ye Shu's cooking skills, which are much better than his, so he had such a question.

Cai Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Nan Yi and said, "How would I know? Go ask him."

"Hey! What happened today? Did you take some medicine?"

Liang Ladi saw Cai Xiaoli leave and asked in confusion: "Why did she come? Why is she still angry? Did you tease her?"

Nan Yi said: "No, Ye Shu invited me to cook a few of her specialties. Who knows what's wrong with her."

Liang Ladi got angry again and said, "Hey, he's really amazing. He rarely comes here normally, and when he finally comes, he asks me to do this and that."

"No, I have to talk to him. I have to find a better job for Xiu'er."

Nan Yi was shocked and said, "Can you please save your temper, Auntie? Can you not be so impulsive all the time?"

"Not impulsive, how can I not be impulsive? If you have the guts, go and talk to him. See if your good friend will give you this face."

Nan Yi sighed and said, "Hey! Okay, stop messing around, I'll go over and talk to you later, okay? I'm really impressed by you! I was really blind to find a woman like you."

Liang Ladi smiled and said, "Then don't forget, I'll wash the vegetables for you right now."

Nan Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He had no way to deal with such a shameless person!

In the private room, the waiter had just poured tea for a few people and left when Cai Xiaoli and Taozi walked in.

Grandpa Guan looked at Cai Xiaoli and said, "Well, there's something interesting to watch!"

After saying that, he drank a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Not bad! This tea is very good!"

Seeing that Cai Xiaoli didn't say anything, Taozi said, "Hello, Mr. Guan, this tea was brought by Brother Ye, how can it be good?"

"Taozi, stop standing. Sit down. How are you? Are you tired lately?"

"No, I'm not tired. Now, I feel very, very good."

"Well, that's fine."

Several people were chatting, but Cai Xiaoli didn't say anything. Ye Shu was a little worried. This girl actually had a very stubborn temper. She was the kind of person who could run away at any time.

He had to find a way to calm her down. Ye Shu was not afraid that she would run away, but he was afraid that Cai Xiaoli would run directly into Cheng Jianjun's arms.

Ye Shu couldn't bear to hurt her! How about sacrificing himself?

At this time, delicious dishes began to be served.

Ye Shu didn't think any more and said, "Xiao Guan, pour some wine for your grandfather."

"Grandpa, take a look at these dishes. They are all famous delicacies of old Beijing. This one is a dessert that Empress Dowager Cixi loved very much, 'Three No-Zhan'."

“Don’t stick to the plate, don’t stick to the spoon, don’t stick to your teeth.”

"It tastes soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy, and full of egg flavor. It is loved by children, girls and the elderly."

"You know this dish, 'Casserole White Meat', which perfectly combines the sour and salty aroma of pickled cabbage with the white meat. The meat is pure and original, and the soup is fresh and delicious. You must try it."

"And this dish, 'Braised Oxtail', used to be the signature dish of Hongbinlou. Try it and see if it can catch up with Hongbinlou's."

"Nine-turn large intestine, squirrel mandarin fish, deep-fried double-fried vegetables, and sea cucumber with scallions. I won't introduce these dishes one by one. The dishes are almost ready now. Would you like to start with your chopsticks?"

Grandpa Guan said, "You kid, you definitely did it on purpose! I've wanted to eat this for a long time. I know all these dishes. You don't need to introduce them to me. You have to make me drool before you let me eat them, right?"

Ye Shu smiled and said, "Haha, since you are so eager to eat, this dish must be pretty good."

"I won't delay your meal. Let's have a drink together and I'll toast you."

After they finished drinking, Guan Xiaoguan poured more wine for them. Cai Xiaoli said disdainfully, "Brother Ye, where did you find this secretary?"

"You only know how to eat your own food? You can't even pour wine for the boss!"

Ye Shu smiled and said, "Why? You want to be my secretary? How about I let you be my secretary in the future and you two can switch positions?"

"Tch, who cares?"

Taozi looked at the strange atmosphere at the table and didn't dare to say anything. He just ate his meal in silence.

Li Xiuyun was extremely embarrassed. It was not right for her to pour wine for Ye Shu, nor was it right for her not to pour wine for him. It was even more wrong for her not to eat with him. She didn't know what to do!

Ye Shu saw her condition and didn't say anything at first. When he saw her eyes were red, he said, "Xiao Guan, just pour some wine for the old man. You can also try the wine to see how it tastes."

"Xiuyun, pour me some wine."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the wine and poured a glass for Ye Shu.

Ye Shu smiled at her and said, "Don't be nervous. Why should you be nervous about a meal?"

After that, he picked up a sea cucumber for her and said, "Try this dish. No matter whether it tastes good or not, this dish takes the longest time to make. From preparing the ingredients to eating it, it takes about three to five days."

"Of course, different masters handle things differently."

"Xiao Guan, give one to grandpa, you can try it too." As he spoke, the scallion-fried sea cucumber was passed to Guan Xiao Guan.

Guan Xiaoguan picked one for the old man and himself. Ye Shu turned to Taozi and Cai Xiaoli and said, "You guys must be working hard to run this store every day. Try some and see if our chef is cutting corners."

Grandpa Guan said, "The chef in your shop is really good! Is he busy now? Can he come and let me see him?"

Ye Shu said, "It should be busy now! Taozi, let Nan Yi come over for a drink!"

After a while, Nan Yi entered the private room, and Ye Shu said, "You cooked all the dishes today, right?"

"Overall it's a big improvement, but are you worried when you cook? I feel a little more hesitant and don't enjoy the taste!"

After hearing what he said, several people were all confused. Are we eating a table of food? Why does it feel so mysterious?

Nan Yi was stunned after hearing this, then he gave a thumbs up and said, "You are worthy of me! If it were me, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference!"

Ye Shu picked up the wine glass and said, "You've worked hard for this store. I'll toast you. If there's anything later, we can talk."

Liang Ladi, who was outside the door, heard this, nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and went back to the kitchen.

After dinner, Ye Shu sent Grandpa Guan back home and left Guan Xiaoguan to take care of the old man.

After Li Xiuyun followed Ye Shu into the car, she said, "Boss, am I really useless? How about you reduce my salary?"
