Chapter 117: Booking a Banquet
There were so many dishes that they couldn't be eaten all at once, so she simply divided some out and said, "I also made him fifty Spanish mackerel dumplings. I don't know if he likes them."
Spanish mackerel dumplings are a specialty of Dalian. Fresh Spanish mackerel meat is minced into a paste, and then filled with chives and other seasonings to make dumplings.
The dumpling wrapper is filled with tender and juicy Spanish mackerel meat. When you take a bite, the delicious taste of the fish meat and the fragrance of the chives spread in your mouth...
Lin Feng beside him swallowed his saliva and said, "Auntie, do we have a share of these things?"
Lin Panpan smiled and said:
"Zhang Xiang prepared a lot of ingredients today, especially this Spanish mackerel, a big bucket.
I used all of it to make dumplings, not only with leeks but also with shepherd’s purse.”
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a voice: "Hey! Xiaoxiang! You booked a hotel, why did you book such a remote one?"
Zhang Xiang chuckled and said, "Just wait, today I'll let you taste my cooking skills."
He pushed the door open and was dumbfounded. How did the classroom become like this?
It's like a private room in a hotel, but a little more luxurious than that.
Those people also laughed: "Shoko, you are really something! You are not going to turn this place into a restaurant, are you?"
Zhang Xiang smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit down. I'll go get the food served."
Then I saw Lin Weimin start to serve them food, and soon the table was full of food.
The Dalian Three Fresh Stewed Dessert is served on the table, steaming hot. The soft and glutinous sea cucumber, the sweet shrimp, the mellow flavor of abalone, and the chewy squid are stir-fried over high heat, and their deliciousness permeates each other.
The seafood family portrait is like a magnificent picture of seafood, with all kinds of seafood gathered together.
The most delicious one is the Feilong in clear soup. Feilong is the hazel grouse. The soup is stewed with shiitake mushrooms, ginseng and other ingredients, and the taste is amazing.
However, the ginseng used here are all young ginseng that are more than ten years old, but the taste is amazing.
Lin Panpan drank two large bowls, and the group of people kept praising her: "Xiangzi, I asked you to call the chef up, why didn't you? This table is really good today, hurry up and call him up."
Zhang Xiang coughed and said, "It's just a woman..."
"What's wrong with women? Are you discriminating against women?"
Zhang Xiang quickly said, "Okay, okay, this is my sister, Lin Panpan, please come out quickly."
Lin Panpan was still eating Spanish mackerel dumplings. The combination of Spanish mackerel and wild shepherd's purse was simply amazing.
She heard Zhang Xiang calling her, so she had no choice but to go out. She saw more than a dozen people next door looking at her.
Lin Panpan blinked and said, "What's wrong? Is this dish not to your liking?"
This is impossible, right?
Zhang Xiang was speechless. "What are you thinking? Your cooking skills are considered the best in Northeast China right now. These are my friends, and I'd like to ask if you would accept the banquet?"
Lin Panpan thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I don't have much free time recently..."
"Hey...what are you busy with? They didn't tell you to answer it now! Are you free during the New Year?" Zhang Xiang asked.
"I should be free during the Chinese New Year!"
"Okay, girl, this dish you made is so authentic, I really don't know how you made it.
I'm going to have a New Year's dinner, can you help me cook a few tables? I'll give you 200 yuan."
"My family needs it too. Even state-owned restaurants can't make food this delicious. I'll give you 300 yuan."
"Hey! Do you think these old guys are interesting? You want to give 300, right? Then I'll give 500."
Zhang Xiang also laughed: "Aren't you guys exaggerating too much?"
"It's not an exaggeration, not at all. We just can't find a good cook. Who wouldn't compete during Chinese New Year? Girl, what do you think?"
Lin Panpan nodded quickly and said:
"No problem, I can also help you buy groceries, it's all included, but the price will be a little higher.
But I guarantee that the food I cook is definitely not something that ordinary people can eat.”
"Okay, I want ten tables at home, and I'll give you two thousand, okay?"
"There are five tables at my house, so one thousand is enough!"
"I have 20 tables at my house, and I'll give you 3,000 yuan when the time comes. How about that?"
Lin Panpan immediately smiled and said, "Of course I can. I'll prepare a banquet for you at the same price as you pay. I guarantee you won't lose money."
These are all her clients! She didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise today.
Someone laughed and said:
"Little girl, how about I make a big deal with you? I want to order 50 tables and give you 8,000 yuan. How about that?
It has to be ready for me next Friday. To be honest, it’s my grandson’s full moon party and I want it to be a grand occasion.
But I haven't found a suitable chef yet. Will you take this big order?"
Lin Panpan's eyes lit up: "I have to accept it, but I have to pay a deposit first."
It’s easier to get things done if you have money. If you don’t have money, you can’t even afford these dishes, so why would you accept the banquet?
"I'll give you all eight thousand yuan today. Please wait for me here later." The man smiled gently and said, "This dish is really to my liking."
Lin Panpan chuckled and said, "Isn't that right?"
After sending the person away, Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "Do you know who is the person who ordered the banquet with you today?"
"What? Didn't a lot of people book banquets with me?"
"Hey! That's the last one, the fat one. This guy is really powerful. He used to be a provincial leader, but he's retired now.
But he has all the connections, so if you cook for him, you have to perform well!" Zhang Xiang said.
Lin Panpan glanced at him and said, "No matter who it is, I will take good care of it. Do you think I won't cook a good meal for him just because the money is low?"
"Okay, you are really good. Your Spanish mackerel dumplings are really delicious, and the flying dragon soup is also delicious. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious dishes." Zhang Xiang couldn't help but praise.
Lin Panpan looked at the empty bowl and said, "You guys are such big eaters, aren't you?"
"Your cooking skills are so good. Okay, I'm going back to sleep and I'll come back tonight."
Lin Panpan ignored him and went to wash the dishes with Lin Feng, Dapang and Xiaopang.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Lin Feng said, "Auntie, please get out quickly. We are here!"
Dapang also nodded and said, "Yes, go and rest quickly."
Lin Panpan went to the front and cleaned up the things in the house today. There was almost nothing valuable, just a few dozen copper coins.
These copper coins are only enough for a bowl of instant noodles. I saw something unlucky this morning, and my luck is really bad.
She thought about it and went directly to a school in the city: "Master, I want to ask Fang Yaqin, is Teacher Fang here?"
The master looked at her and said, "Oh...what do you want to see Teacher Fang about?"
"I'm the parent of her classmate, and she asked me to come to the school."
The security guard nodded and said, "She's here, go in by yourself..."
