Chapter 176 Everyone: The state-owned restaurant is just average, and the cooking skills are not as good as Chen Hui

"Five hundred? No, fifty?" Chen Hui asked.

Chen Yaozu nodded, "Fifty!"

Fifty, that's okay.

Chen Hui relaxed, patted Chen Yaozu and said, "I want all the dishes on this table, you arrange for them to be served!"

"You kid can do it!"

"From now on you are my nephew. I will protect you if anything happens." Chen Yaozu patted Chen Hui's shoulder and said with relief.

"." Chen Hui had a feeling that he was taken advantage of but he couldn't explain it.

"What time will you be coming for dinner? There are some time-consuming dishes, so I'll ask the chef to arrange them in advance." Chen Yaozu asked.

"Around half past eleven, this should be the right time," said Chen Hui.

"Got it. I'll get busy now. The batch of dry goods that arrived today doesn't seem to be doing well."

Chen Yaozu said this and left in a hurry.

Chen Hui looked at his watch. It was not yet ten o'clock, so there was plenty of time.

He took An Wenjing back to Dasa Village and waited to go there with Wu Shuisheng and the others.

"Chen Hui, how do you think I look in this!?"

After selling the fish, Wu Shuisheng went home and took a bath.

Hearing the sound of Chen Hui and An Wenjing coming back, he quickly put on his clothes and walked out to ask.

The sailor shirt, which is about 80% new, paired with black overalls, exudes a sense of age.

"It's fine, no problem." Chen Hui nodded.

"It's okay, quite decent, right?" Wu Shuisheng said, taking a look in the mirror hanging on the wall.

"Yes, it can be very beautiful!"

"Where is my aunt? What is she wearing?" Chen Hui asked.

"Your aunt said she won't go!" Wu Shuisheng looked in the mirror and hung it back with satisfaction.

"Not going?! Why doesn't my aunt go?!" An Wenjing asked.

"Your aunt said that we, the grown men, should go. It's just to go out to sea and have a meal together."

"If she goes, then the wives of Old Wei and Wu Guang must also be invited to go with her."

"With so many people, it will cost a lot more money to eat," said Wu Shuisheng.

Chen Hui went into the house and looked around but didn't see anyone. He came out and asked, "Where is your aunt? I'll go find her."

"She went to Chenjia Village to visit your uncle."

"That's it."

Chen Hui immediately gave up.

If it was somewhere else, he would go and call, but forget about Chen Xiangdong's house.

"Let's ask our aunt to go with us next time." An Wenjing saw through Chen Hui's thoughts at a glance and came over to hold his hand.

"Well, take our mom and that little brat Wen Yi with us." Chen Hui nodded.

Even Wu Shuisheng didn't bring his family, so it would be embarrassing for others to call him.

Wei Jianjun, Wu Guang and Wu Dahai soon arrived at Wu Shuisheng's house.

Everyone seemed to have dressed up carefully and wore the newest or most decent clothes.

"We're just going to have a meal, why are you guys acting like you're going to do something big?"

Chen Hui laughed and teased others, then looked down at himself and asked An Wenjing, "Am I being too casual?"

"We're just going to have a meal." An Wenjing repeated Chen Hui's words, making everyone laugh.

A few people who had cars took those who didn't and soon arrived at the state-owned hotel.

After Chen Yaozu finished his work, he asked for the dishes to be served quickly and led a few people into a small private room inside.

The window of the small private room faces an alley, so the lighting is good, but there are not many people coming and going.

It is some distance away from the hall outside. It is lively but not noisy, giving it a sense of peace and quiet in a hustle and bustle.

"So this is what it's like in here?" Wei Jianjun looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

"Didn't you come to the wedding to drink?" Wu Guang asked. "That was outside. I didn't expect there was a small room like this inside."

"This is great. Sitting in it makes me feel more valuable."

Wei Jianjun said with a smile and sat down in the seat closest to him.

"Uncle Wei, you have to pay to sit in this seat." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Ah?! You're so particular? I thought it would be inconvenient to serve the food here, so I'll just sit down."

"Then where should I sit?" Wei Jianjun quickly stood up and asked.

"Anything else is fine except here."

Chen Hui said this and sat down in the seat where Wei Jianjun had just sat.

Let's take care of the payment first.

"Then I can sit next to you, okay?" Wei Jianjun asked after looking around.

Chen Hui nodded and sat down.

"Old Wei, what are you afraid of? Even if you really sit here, Chen Hui won't let you pay."

Wu Guang teased Wei Jianjun, but sat down next to him very calmly.

A group of people spread out to both sides with Chen Hui as the starting point and sat down.

The first dish that came out elicited a round of “Wow!”

"Is this a blue crab?" Wu Shuisheng picked up a piece of crab meat and looked at it.

"It's blue crab, fried first and then braised, it tastes very good." Chen Yaozu introduced.

"Hey, let me have a taste. I've been catching crabs for decades, but I usually only eat the cheap ones. I've never eaten blue crabs before."

Wu Guang rubbed his hands excitedly, picked up a piece and ate it, and asked Wei Jianjun: "What do you think?"

"It's really delicious, no wonder it's so expensive." Wei Jianjun said while eating.

"Uncle Guang, I feel that this is delicious, but not as good as Chen Hui's." Wu Dahua approached Wu Guang and said in a low voice.

Wu Guang felt like he had met a soulmate and nodded repeatedly.

The second plate was eight treasure rice, followed by lamb soup, fish fillet soup and grilled scallops.

There is no feeling without comparison.

Scallop and fish soup, which they had also eaten before when Chen Hui cooked it.

For similar dishes, just compare them.

"Everyone, how are our dishes?! If you have any suggestions, just tell me."

The dishes served to this table were the ones that were originally reserved.

The dishes are of the best quality and the chef is one of the best cooks in the state-owned restaurants.

Chen Yaozu asked this question with full confidence, and his suggestion was just a polite remark.

What he didn't expect was that several people seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if they really had suggestions.

"It doesn't matter. Except for Chen Hui, Wenjing and this young man, we are all of the same generation. Just say whatever you want to say." Chen Yaozu said.

"Not bad, quite good." Wu Shuisheng said with a smile.

“It tastes good, but it’s not the best.”

"Yeah yeah."

Having been partners for more than ten years, Wu Guang and Wei Jianjun work together very well.

"Oh? Isn't this the best?"

"Is there any chef in the village who can compare with the chefs in the state-owned restaurants? Then I'd like to see them for myself." Chen Yaozu asked with a smile.

There is an old chef named Li in the restaurant. He is in poor health and it is unknown how long he can continue to work.

If there are any good young chefs, Chen Yaozu would be interested in meeting them.

"What good chef can there be in the village? He has never seen high-end dishes!" Wu Guang waved his hand and said.

"There is no chef with good cooking skills, but there is a guy with very good cooking skills." Wu Shuisheng raised his chin towards Chen Hui.

"Hmm?" Chen Yaozu looked over curiously.
