Datang Hotel: The Leisurely Life of a Chef Dad

When the water boiled, Liu Xuan put in the pepper and other ingredients one by one.

Then came the diced beef, Qianzhang, and shredded kelp. A huge spoon was in Liu Xuan's hand, stirring constantly.

Although the big pot is full of water now, by the time the soup is almost boiled, it will probably be only half full.

While waiting for the water to boil, Liu Xuan had already prepared the dough, placed it on the cooking pot and placed it in the steamer to speed up fermentation. ❃

After a while, the sun seemed to break away from the gentleness of the horizon and jumped up, shining on the kitchen window.

Liu Xuan took out the dough and started kneading it.

The door opened.

Yaya and Da Zhuang's footsteps were hurried, which was completely expected. After all, the smell of spicy soup was not something that ordinary people could bear.

The weather is getting colder. With a physique like Da Zhuang, Liu Xuan is not worried much. The only thing he is worried about is Yaya.

Although it is warm at home, it is cold and freezing, so you need to warm up.

Hu spicy soup is a good thing. Today it contains beef cubes. In a few days, when the weather gets colder, mutton can be added. In addition to nourishing, it can also clear the body, replenish qi, nourish the spleen and stomach, and drive away cold.

Outside the door, the big and strong cat was lying on the kitchen door, its nose twitching and its mouth wide open, as if it was curious about what magical delicacies were inside.

Yaya yawned and stood on tiptoes, trying to see something from the window.

The oil cakes are kneaded into shapes, and the green onions on top are crisply embellished, just like the grass emerging from the earth that has just awakened in spring.

Zila~

Get off the pan!

Instantly the fragrance started to burst out.

Gulu~

Gulu~

The sound of swallowing outside the door was so loud at this moment.

At three o'clock in the morning, when there were voices above the West Market, Yaya and Dazhuang were already sitting on small benches, upright, with a bowl of spicy soup, a wooden spoon, and chopsticks in front of each other.

In the middle of the table, Liu Xuan cut the pancake and put it down.

Yaya couldn't bear it anymore.

"Aye, when can we eat? Yaya is hungry."

"Don't worry, there is also balsamic vinegar and sesame oil. You are a girl, you must understand the sense of ritual..."

Liu Xuan couldn't think of any words that could deceive children, so he casually said that these words can also deceive children and fools.

Yaya looked at Liu Xuan seriously: "Aye, what is the sense of ritual? Can it be eaten as food?"

"Of course that's impossible."

"Oh, Aye, then Yaya doesn't want a sense of ceremony. If it can't be eaten, it's useless."

Well, this kid, doesn’t he know that he will touch many people’s hearts unintentionally?

After garnishing it with sesame oil and vinegar, Da Zhuang also grabbed a handful of chopped green onions and sprinkled it into his bowl.

"Began to eat!"

"Wow!"

He has already started to grab the fried cakes. After all, this is how he eats the vegetable boxes.

"Hey, use chopsticks. We are not the same as before. Da Zhuang, you have to change too."

Da Zhuang seemed to understand. He took the chopsticks, picked up the fried cake, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Yaya was not in a hurry now. She imitated Liu Xuan and stirred the spicy soup, then put the pancake into the spicy soup. After soaking, she took it into her mouth with chopsticks.

In an instant, a huffing and puffing sound competition began in the entire main hall.

After a while, Liu Xuan was surprised to find that all the spicy soup and so many fried cakes in the pot were finished!

The bowl was clean and shiny, with not a drop left.

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have just drank a bowl and ate two pancakes.

That’s all.

"Eh? Sir, what is so fragrant? Old Qin, I am not so easy to get rid of. Such good things must be shared!"

Voices began to ring from all the way outside the door. Who could it be if it wasn't Qin Qiong?

Qin Qiong was hungover yesterday, but she got up very early today. Liu Xuan was also surprised at how old she was.

"Old Qin, it's not easy for you to get up so early after drinking."

Qin Qiong smiled and sat on the bench nearby, her nose twitching constantly: "What does it smell like? It's so fragrant."

"Sir, I have never heard of your Datang Hotel. Is there anything else delicious?"

Liu Xuan shook his head: "I'm sorry, I only care about the disease, not the food. Besides, you can't eat what I eat now."

Qin Qiong was anxious: "This... Then you can't eat this, and you can't eat that. What else can you enjoy?"

"I'd rather start enjoying it now."

Liu Xuan was not in a hurry: "Then I can only enjoy it for two years."

"Has your son been arranged? Is he getting married? How much is his salary? Can they sit back and relax? Have you given birth to a grandson?"

Qin Qiong looked at Liu Xuan blankly and lowered his head: "Forget it, I will do whatever the gentleman says."

Qin Qiong called Liu Xuan sir, which came from the bottom of his heart. Since last night, his body has been extremely smooth.

In the backyard, Qin Qiong followed Liu Xuan's movements and began the most uncoordinated experience in his life.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... three, two, three, four..."

Yaya and Da Zhuang no longer squatted at the door. They sat on the threshold, holding their heads, shaking left and right, like playing with iron balls, watching Qin Qiong doing those simple movements.

"Aye, why did uncle do this..."

"Yaya, you can do it too, look at how awesome uncle is."

The method of provoking generals does not work for Yaya.

"Yaya doesn't want to move, but Yaya just wants to eat."

In desperation, Liu Xuan could only resort to the big bad wolf tactics.

"Yaya, do you know what kind of children the big bad wolf likes to eat the most?"

As soon as Yaya heard about the big bad wolf, she stood up and clenched her little fists tightly: "Yeah, the big bad wolf must like children who don't eat well!"

Liu Xuan smiled: "What the Big Bad Wolf likes most is those who don't eat well and those who eat too much."

"Think about it, children who don't eat well have many bones, and the big bad wolf just chews the bones. If they eat too much, they will be fat and have a lot of oil and water, right?"

For a moment, Yaya became angry: "Aye, tell me, how can Yaya fight away the big bad wolf if she doesn't eat enough?"

Before Liu Xuan spoke, Da Zhuang spoke: "Yaya, you give me half, and I will help you fight off the big bad wolf..."

…

Qin Qiong stayed at the Datang Hotel all morning. Although the radio gymnastics was good, it was very tiring after doing it for too long.

At this time, he was drinking water, wiping his sweat, and sitting on the stone steps in front of the main hall, feeling very curious in his heart.

"Sir, in the Datang Hotel, the Mapo Tofu is very flavorful, and the Dongpo Pork is also outstanding. Although Mr. Qin doesn't know how to eat, he is also a delicious person. These two craftsmanship should not be underestimated. So few?"

Liu Xuan smiled and said nothing.

At this time, two men came in from the door: "Store, let's eat."

Liu Xuan walked over with a smile: "There are two dishes today, Dongpo Pork, 200 renminbi each, and Mapo Tofu, 50 renminbi each."

"The rice is enough."

As soon as the words fell, the two men who had just sat down stood up and scratched their necks: "You are robbing money!"

"We're not hungry anymore!"

He didn't even dare to say the word "eat".

Qin Qiong squatted outside and murmured for a long time, and only said: "That gas-inducing exercise... is good."
