SFS 318: Dim Sum
318: Dim Sum
The demise of the Huang family is already foreseeable, and helping him at this time would be a thankless task.
And some people in the circle said that it was because Huang Yansheng touched Xiao Qingdai's daughter first.
Everyone can see how much Xiao Qingdai cherishes her daughter.
Not to mention doing it, no matter how much they hated the Xiao family, they didn't even dare to think about it. Unless they themselves didn't want to live, and no one in the entire family wanted to live either, they would plan to do such a thing.
If Huang Yansheng really dares to pluck hair from a tiger's mouth, then in some ways, he is a person worthy of admiration.
After all, he has courage that others don't have.
When talking about the current situation of the Huang family, everyone will inevitably mention Zhou Li.
The timing of her divorce from Huang Yansheng was too coincidental. It happened just a few days before the Huang family's accident. At that time, some people in the circle heard the news and did not understand what she did.
Because for a marriage like this, as long as there is no problem between the families and there is an exchange of interests, they will basically not separate.
When Zhou Li and Huang Yansheng divorced, there was no problem in the relationship between the two families and no rumors had been heard before.
So it came very abruptly. When they heard that it was Zhou Li who initiated the divorce, they thought Zhou Li was stupid to make such a decision.
It was not until they heard about the Huang family's troubles recently that they realized that their original thinking was one-sided.
In the entire Huang family, except for her and her two children, almost everyone else had something wrong.
It was also at this time that everyone realized that Zhou Li, who seemed weak and useless, was actually the smartest person in the Huang family.
Not only did people in the circle think so, even the Zhou family thought so.
A few days ago, when Zhou Li chose to divorce Huang Yansheng, the head of the Zhou family strongly disagreed.
He even said on the phone that unless he went back to reconcile with Huang Yansheng, he would never return to the Zhou family.
At that time, Zhou Li was disheartened and did not argue with him. Instead, she nodded obediently and hung up the phone.
Turning around, she continued to do what she was supposed to do. Her father's words did not change her mind, but only made her feel uncomfortable.
Now, after learning about what happened to the Huang family, the head of the Zhou family at home felt a sense of surviving a disaster.
He called his daughter again and couldn't help but praise her on the other end of the phone.
"Zhou Li, it's a good thing you left the Huang family early, otherwise you would have implicated us. You did a good job on this matter. Did you know something in advance?"
Even though he knew his father's true nature very well, Zhou Li still felt sad inside.
He only cared about himself and his family's interests and never considered her.
So she said nothing, just listened calmly, and didn't reveal any information to him.
Patriarch Zhou didn't care since he didn't ask. He pretended to ask about her current situation.
Perhaps he felt a little guilty, so he spoke with a sense of compensation.
"You're a woman out there with two children. If you need money, ask your mother..."
He did not ask Zhou Li to go back because the head of the Zhou family was not sure yet.
After all, the two children Zhou Li brought with him were surnamed Huang, and they were from the Huang family.
He was not sure whether the Xiao family would let the two children go, so he did not dare to let Zhou Li come back for the time being.
He even felt that giving her money was risky.
If the Xiao family wants to kill them all, they will also suffer.
If he didn't feel guilty, he wouldn't let his wife give Zhou Li money.
Although he didn't know, his wife had already given him a lot in private.
Zhou Li's expression was indifferent. She didn't feel happy at all after hearing this. She was just very calm, just like a few days ago when he yelled at her to apologize to Huang Yansheng.
After hanging up the phone, she walked to Huang Haoxuan's room door and knocked. It was quiet inside and no one paid attention to her.
Zhou Li sighed helplessly, turned around and left.
Whatever she says is of no use now. The child has to think it through himself.
Huang Haoxuan still doesn't know that his father is in trouble, and he still naively fantasizes that he can use hunger strike to change his mother's attitude and thus achieve his goal of helping his father.
But he was hungry all day and felt dizzy and dizzy, but his mother didn't give in.
There was no other way, he was so hungry that he finally ate it.
...
In addition to the Huang family's affairs that have caused a sensation in the circle recently, there is another matter that has also attracted a lot of people's attention.
The visit of the representative from Country Y has attracted a lot of attention, which means that there will be many business opportunities in the future. Once you seize them, you will become extremely rich.
This is a diplomatic activity of the highest level, involving exchanges in multiple fields, and everyone takes it very seriously.
After the state banquet, the delegation from Country Y showed great interest in the snacks served.
The pastries for the state banquet were served at the end of the banquet. After the main courses were removed, pastries that combined cultural elements of the two countries were presented.
At that moment, the entire banquet hall was filled with the aroma of pastries.
They have just finished eating and have no desire to eat anymore.
But after smelling the fragrance, they all seemed to wake up and focused all their attention on the pastries.
The person in charge did not expect this to happen.
Seeing the messengers eating with relish, they looked at each other, feeling proud but also confused.
I have invited people from Jiuweizhai to make Chinese dim sum before, but I have never seen such amazing results.
This is the first time that such a scene has attracted everyone regardless of nationality.
Not only were the foreigners across from them interested, but they were also aroused by their curiosity.
After trying one, I was even more amazed.
Originally, the rhythm of state banquets was strictly controlled, with a time interval between the main course and dessert to facilitate guests' digestion and communication.
But now the messengers have used all the free time to eat snacks, so their mouths are occupied and they don’t even have time to talk.
This was the first time that dim sum became more popular than the main course.
The situation here was quietly passed on to the backstage. After hearing the news, the chefs of Jiuweizhai who were waiting in the back all showed surprised smiles on their faces.
"That's great! Now I can finally hold my head high!"
"Thanks to these ingredients, it turns out that the high price has a reason."
"Isn't this the living signboard of our Jiuweizhai? From now on, no one will say that our cakes are expensive."
“Few people talk about it now.”
Ever since the issue of ingredients was clarified online, there has been basically no negative voices, and even if there are any, they are only a small part.
And there is no need to pay attention to those voices. Although most people still feel that it is very expensive, every time they launch a new product, it is sold out immediately.
The empty window is the best proof.
All they need now is a chance to become famous.
Now many people travel thousands of miles from other provinces just to have their snacks.
From now on, the reputation of their Jiuweizhai will grow bigger and bigger.
In the studio next door, the chef who was also making Western-style pastries couldn't laugh at all when he heard the laughter here.
The atmosphere on both sides was at one extreme, with laughter and joy on one side and a dead silence on the other.
Chinese pastries are very popular with foreign guests at state banquets, which means that no one touches the pastries they make.
No one touched those small, exquisite and ceremonial Western pastries.
If it were a normal day and there were only Western pastries available, they would still eat two pieces.
But now, after comparing themselves with the snacks made by Jiuweizhai and tasting the amazing flavor, they couldn't eat the small cakes next to them.
The chef couldn't stand it anymore when he heard how neglected their pastries were.
Li Daning ran to the other side angrily.
The moment he entered, the laughter and chatter in the room suddenly stopped and the atmosphere became weird.
The two groups looked at each other, and finally, Li Yue, the eldest disciple of Master Qian from Jiuweizhai, stood up.
He looked at Li Daning, who came with bad intentions, frowned, and asked without any fear, "Li Daning, what do you want?"
This was a normal attitude, but in Li Daning's eyes, he felt that the people from Jiuweizhai were mocking him.
He pointed at them angrily and said, "You guys are just using that special fruit. If you have the guts, why don't you switch to regular fruit like us and have a fair fight!"
He was sure that as long as the other party used ordinary fruits like him, there was absolutely no chance of them winning.
Unexpectedly, Li Yue didn't fall for his trick at all. He frowned and said with a puzzled look.
"Why should I bet with you? What's wrong with us using special fruits? We brought all these fruits ourselves and paid for them ourselves. We didn't ask others to cover the price for us. Why can't we use them?"
In summary, both parties get what they need.
They also wanted to use the state banquet as an opportunity to turn things around and jump into the eyes of more people, so they bought the ingredients from the Fu family in advance, no matter how high the price the other party offered.
In addition to grapes, there are other fruits, and their prices are hundreds of times higher than the market price. Mr. Qian didn't even blink when spending money.
In order to increase their tolerance rate, he also bought a lot of portions, for fear that something might go wrong while cooking and the ingredients would be wasted.
They have already paid out of their own pockets, so what if they have a little bit of thoughts?
Why should I make a bet with Li Daning? Li Yue looked at Li Daning with suspicion, and asked thoughtfully.
"Li Daning, you're not jealous of us, are you? If you're unwilling, you can go buy this kind of food. No one will stop you."
These words probably really touched Li Daning's wound. The expression on his face changed again and again, with black and red mixed together.
Of course, he had thought about it, although he was very skeptical about the price of this fruit at first. He initially thought it was a money laundering product, but later he felt that it was just a tax on one's IQ.
But after so long, the popularity of Jiuweizhai pastries has told him the answer.
If it is just a waste of money, Jiuweizhai can invite people to act, but they cannot do it all the time.
Jiuweizhai has been very popular online these days, and has basically been on the hot searches. Moreover, every time they launch a new dim sum, netizens are as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Many wealthy people line up in long queues at their door.
Li Daning casually browsed the comment section and saw nothing but positive reviews.
There were also comments saying that money was not a problem as long as he added a few more types of dim sum.
There are so many people who are not short of money, and there are also many people who travel thousands of miles to the capital for these snacks.
This was a hot scene that Li Daning had never dared to imagine in his dreams before.
Until one day, when he returned home, he saw a box of Jiuweizhai snacks in his house.
When he saw the disgusting box again, his first reaction was anger.
After asking some family members, I learned that his son specially queued up to buy it. He waited in line for a very long time and was only able to buy such a small box.
My son said it was so precious that he was reluctant to eat it. He wanted to wait until his family came back so he could cut it open and let everyone have a taste.
The cake was placed in the room. Even though the box was covered, the fragrance it emitted kept tempting people and made it impossible to ignore its existence.
Li Daning didn't want to eat it at first. He was unwilling to acknowledge Jiuweizhai's cooking skills. He thought those were all unorthodox methods.
But when his son cut the dessert and handed it to him, his hand picked up the plate as if it had a magnet, and his determination not to eat it began to waver.
In the end, he still smelled really good.
It's just a very small piece, and when you eat it it feels like a flower blooming in your mouth.
This is a pastry that leaves one wanting more.
After eating, Li Daning finally admitted that Jiuweizhai’s ingredients were really good.
Having such ingredients can raise the upper limit of their dim sum, and currently Jiuweizhai is the only dim sum restaurant in Beijing that uses this ingredient.
This means that as long as he can also use this ingredient to make pastries, he can definitely become the next popular Jiuweizhai.
Li Daning seemed to see the overwhelming wealth waving at him.
But as he made his plans carefully, he realized something.
He tried to contact the Fu family who sold the ingredients, but after hearing that it was him who bought it, they refused to sell it to him at all.
Li Daning then remembered that he had firmly believed that there was some shameful transaction between Jiuweizhai and the Fu family, so he and all the pastry chefs in the store joined forces to report them.
The reason why a team later went to investigate the price of grapes was also due to his letter of complaint.
There was no way the Fu family hadn't found out about this, so when they found out that it was him who wanted to buy pastries, they rejected him mercilessly.
He also said that all the fruits sold by the Fu family would never be sold to them.
