1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 277 Jiang Yuqin’s shock

Several people came to the box.

Jiang Yuqin looked attentive and immediately pulled her daughter Xiao Min:

 “I’ll get you some rice balls.”

As soon as she left, a waiter came over with a menu and asked them: "Hello, what would you like to order?"

 “Let me see what food is available.”

Zhao Jialu took the menu first and frowned after looking at it twice. She knew all the words on it, but after putting them together, she couldn't understand them.

“Comrade, please ask, what kind of shrimp are your tempura shrimps?”

The waiter smiled and explained: "Tempura shrimp is fried shrimp."

Zhao Jialu was speechless: "Fried shrimps are fried shrimps, what else do you call tempura? I thought it was some new variety?"

The waiter smiled awkwardly, and after what he said, she seemed to think it made sense.

Zhao Jialu glanced at the menu carefully and found that he really couldn't understand it, so he had to hand the menu to Li Duoyu.

“Brother Yu, you’re better at Japanese, so you’d better do some.”

Li Duoyu glanced at the menu and found that the menu was quite Chinese and there was nothing Japanese on it.

I remember in my previous life, some high-end Japanese restaurants, in order to enhance their quality, had half of their menus in Japanese and half in English. They were not for ordinary people at all.

 What surprised Li Duoyu the most was that the Japanese food store opened by Chen Yuanyu already had so many types of Japanese food.

Li Duoyu thought about it for a while and said calmly:

“Let’s have a sushi platter, a sukiyaki, some octopus balls, tempura shrimp, Chinese ramen, fried pork cutlet, sashimi, and grilled mackerel.”

Li Duoyu ordered a lot of food so confidently that the waiter was confused.

 After opening, the biggest problem they encountered was that the guests did not know how to order.

Some people who have a good reputation pretend to be big-tailed wolves and mess around, which makes them very depressed, but they are too embarrassed to refute the guest's face.

 Most of them like to go to conveyor belt sushi with a plate and get ready-made sushi directly.

Unexpectedly, she met a connoisseur today, but because he ordered the dishes so quickly, she couldn't find the dishes she wanted to check on the menu for a while.

 “Hello, let me tell you again, one sushi platter and one sukiyaki”

 “That’s right, that’s it.”

Li Duoyu nodded. Although the waiter missed a dish, he had done this before and understood that it was not easy for everyone.

The waiter said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, the food will be delivered to the private room later."

Li Xiuyun was surprised and said: "Duoyu, how come you are so familiar with these dishes? It seems like you have eaten them often before."

Li Duoyu casually gave the reason: "During the month when I went to the island country for inspection, I secretly went to the kitchen and learned from the local chef."

Li Xiuyun was stunned: "The organization gave us such a good opportunity to inspect, but you actually went to learn how to cook?"

Zhou Xiaoying suddenly said with a serious face: "If it's him, it's really possible. You may not believe it. His previous dream was to work as a chef in an island country."

Zhao Jialu’s eyes widened: “No way, boss, is your dream really to be a cook?”

Li Duoyu nodded: "In the past, our family was poor and could not afford to eat meat. Every time we saw braised pork cooked in other people's homes, we would sweat all over the floor and couldn't sleep all night.

From then on, I wanted to be a cook. After the cook finished cooking, didn’t he always have to test the dishes, so that I could take a bite of each dish? "

Zhao Jialu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hahaha, you don't want to be a cook, you want to be a kitchen rat."

Li Xiuyun couldn't help but chuckle, and couldn't help but look at Li Duoyu. She didn't know why, but she didn't see the vigor of a young man in him, but an indescribable old age, but it also gave people A sense of stability and security.

  She has only experienced such a big growth with her grandpa, who was once the president of the Rongcheng Chamber of Commerce. And for some reason, she always felt that Li Duoyu looked a bit like her grandpa when he was young.

Li Jinchuan, who couldn't get into the topic at all, was already in a turmoil in his heart.

From the conversation just now, he learned that the fourth child had been to the island country, and he had gone with the city's investigation group.

 In his impression, the fourth child had always been carefree. He didn't expect that he had changed so much after not being on the island in these years.

Li Jinchuan couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, when did you go to the island country, I didn't know."

“Before, when I first became the village director, the organization gave me an inspection opportunity.”

“That’s it, I didn’t expect to be a village director and have such great benefits.”

Li Duoyu smiled. He didn’t explain too much, let alone say that his place to go abroad was given by a big leader.

At this moment, Jiang Yuqin and Xiao Min came back with two plates filled with various sushi and side dishes.

Jiang Yuqin smiled and said: "I got some more for you. There are a lot of people grabbing this crab meat sushi, it should be delicious."

 “Thank you, sister-in-law, and Xiao Min.”

Li Duoyu picked up the crab meat sushi and took a bite: "It tastes good. The crab meat is very sweet. Everyone should try it too."

Zhao Jialu said: "Then I will try it too and see if it tastes better made in my sister's shop or in Nagasaki."

 In fact, the sushi made in this Japanese restaurant is quite different from that in island countries.

 Mainly because the rice used for sushi is not steamed well, it is a little hard, not soft enough and not sticky enough.

However, in this era, white rice is already a very delicious food, and everyone’s taste buds are not that picky.

 Not a while later.

Li Duoyu ordered Japanese food, which arrived one after another. Jiang Yuqin was surprised when he saw so many dishes.

“Ah, I thought the only Japanese food was the rotating rice **** in the hall, but I didn’t expect there to be so many dishes.”

“Sister-in-law, when you left just now, the waiter came over to give us our order. Do you want to try it? This fried pork chop is quite delicious.”

 After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he put a piece of pork chop on Zhou Xiaoying's plate.

 “Eat a piece and see.”

 Seeing Li Duoyu picking up vegetables for Zhou Xiaoying, Jiang Yuqin glanced at Li Jinchuan: "Take a look and learn from Duoyu."

Li Jinchuan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Zhao Jialu on the side saw this and quickly put a piece of it on Li Xiuyun's plate. As a result, Li Xiuyun rolled his eyes.

“I can do it myself, I don’t need you to do it.”

As soon as Li Xiuyun finished speaking, Zhao Jialu took the pork chop away and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's so delicious."

Li Xiuyun’s face turned dark instantly.

Zhou Xiaoying also took a bite of the fried pork chop. There was a crunch, and the fragrant meat juice spread in her mouth. This was a taste she had never tasted before.

She said to Jiang Yuqin: "Sister Qin, this is really delicious. Come and try one."

　　“Okay, I’ll eat a piece too and take a look.”

 But as she said this, she first took a piece of pork chop and gave it to her daughter.

Li Duoyu smiled and looked at the group of people in front of him. They were all people who had experienced that period of time, and they had unknowingly developed the habit of not being able to help but leave delicious food to the people they love the most.

This reminded Li Duoyu of his childhood. At that time, once Lao Li found something delicious, he was never willing to eat it. Every time, he would secretly take it home and feed it to their children in the dead of night.

After Li Duoyu and the others had eaten the Japanese food, Chen Jiao and Chen Yuanyu ran over to greet them.

Seeing that Li Duoyu was so familiar with Chen Jiao and Chen Yuanyu, Jiang Yuqin was dumbfounded again. She originally thought that Li Duoyu knew Chen Yuanshan, who was Chen Jiao's nephew.

Unexpectedly, Li Duoyu knew the president of Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, and the relationship seemed to be very good.

What surprised Jiang Yuqin the most was that next, a middle-aged man with a tipsy cheek, as if he had drank a lot, came over.

After seeing this man, Jiang Yuqin stood up immediately. She knew this man. She had a drinking party with this man when her ex-husband was still the factory director.

She just wanted to say hello: "Wu"

Without thinking about the other party, he didn't notice her at all. Instead, he said to Li Duoyu and Zhao Jialu:

“Duoyu, Jialu, I just heard from Boss Chen that you were here, so I hurried over to take a look. I didn’t expect you were really here.”

“Let’s go, there’s a table of bosses next door, I’ll take you two to see the world.”

Jiang Yuqin was a little embarrassed, her head was buzzing, and she looked at Li Duoyu with a puzzled face.

Even if he knows the Chen family and his daughter, why does he even know Director Wu of the Fisheries Bureau?

Isn't he just the village director of a remote island? How come he has a wider social circle than her?
