As the lights come on, Chengnan Street is still full of bright lights and prosperity.

However, Hefeng Tower, which was in the night, seemed increasingly depressed. There were not many guests. The five-story private rooms had less than 30%. Most of the people who came here were nostalgic and wealthy gentry who had interests in the Zhao family.

After eating stews and steamed dishes for thousands of years, the refreshing taste of stir-frying and the popularity of stir-frying in Jiangning City are irresistible to the temptation of those rich gentry. Anyone who treats guests without taking the guests to the Zheng family’s restaurant is embarrassed to go out and say hello.

On the third floor of Hefeng Building, in a small room, Uncle Tang was sitting at the table and drinking with his own depressed heart.

Uncle Tang’s original name was Tang Zheng, but he was over 50 years old and had worked as a chef in the Zhao family for 30 years, so he was respectfully called Uncle Tang.

Once upon a time, Uncle Tang was also a famous chef in Jiangning City, especially he was good at cooking fish and was famous for his skill in roasting fish.

But this time, facing the Zheng family's wide variety of stir-frying dishes, Uncle Tang could only accept the disadvantage.

Seeing that Hefenglou, who had been working hard for decades, was getting worse and worse, Uncle Tang was anxious, but he was helpless.

"It seems that I am really old and it's time to retire to the field. I'm just sorry for the master..." Uncle Tang murmured, with a look of depression and gloom.

The light shone on his silver wire, making him look older and desolate. He just passed the age of knowing destiny, Uncle Tang was not that old at first, but in just one month, his hair turned 20 to 30%.

In fact, Hefenglou is unsustainable and is on the verge of closure. The most uncomfortable thing is not the owner's house, but the person who has devoted himself to the restaurant for thirty years.

After all, for the master, this is just a trivial industry, but for him, it is hard to give up for most of his life's hard work and concern.

"Please give up to the master's family tomorrow..."

Although he made up his mind, he was a little reluctant to leave. After working hard for thirty years, he really didn't want to end this way, but what could he do?

"If you have to resign, you should go to the capital and study hard to cook, and you will live up to the entrusted by the two generations of the Zhao family..." Uncle Tang's mind flashed, and his eyes gradually showed light.

He drank the remaining wine in the glass and stood up slowly, then saw a weak figure, and looked shocked.

"Mr., Master..." With the lights that were not bright, he finally saw the visitor clearly.

"Uncle Tang has worked hard for Hefenglou for 30 years. How could he leave and let it be closed?" Zhao Hao looked at Uncle Tang with a kind face and said lightly.

"Tang Zheng, force: 15; intelligence: 25; speed: 16; light skills: 11; politics: 15; command: 35; health value: 82; loyalty to the host: 95, favorability to the host: 80."

With the system, Zhao Hao naturally no longer believes in any verbal or even action loyalty. He only believes in system data and speaks with data.

Zhao Hao was actually a half-baked chef in his previous life. He once opened a hotel with someone, but due to the poor location and other reasons, he announced his bankruptcy half a year later. In the end, he had to go to the dark side and become an Internet administrator.

As a half-baked chef, you naturally don’t know how to use a computer to control excavators to stir-fry, but you can still cook a few ordinary home-cooked dishes, and you have turned a lot of recipes. It’s okay to make dozens of varied dishes casually.

But he naturally won't do it by himself, let's not talk about whether his identity is suitable. The most important thing is that as a useless playboy, he first transformed into a god of gambling and then turned into a saint of poetry. If he suddenly cooks a good dish, it would be too shocking. Even the cheap parents might not be calm.

"Uncle Tang, I asked someone to find a secret cookbook for cooking, which specializes in the secrets of cooking, and please check it out. I think Uncle Tang was originally a famous chef in Jiangning. If he studied according to this book, how could he lose to the Zheng family?"

What Zhao Hao handed to Tang Zheng was a thick booklet with six big words "Jiuyang Frying Cheap" written on the cover.

This secret book was written by the famous chef Zhao, a famous chef of the Song Dynasty. It took three days to write it. It collects the great success of cooking skills nine hundred years later. It is the world's first cooking secret book, with a total of 72 dishes.

Tang Zheng naturally would not recognize Zhao Hao's name, but he was half-believing and half-doubting about this so-called secret book - he had been a chef for most of his life, and the first time he heard that there were secrets for cooking, but due to the young master's affection, he had to go back with a serious face.

Dead horses are treated as live horses, regardless of whether they succeed or not, at least they have to try.

Tang Zheng trembled and opened the "secret book" and saw the lines of vigorous and powerful handwriting, his eyes were slightly exposed, as if a drowning person grabbed a straw.

Although this "secret" looks mysterious, the content is really like that.

"The first form: the blood duck of the big Chu.

Main ingredients: 1 duck, ingredients: eggplant, peppercorn, duck blood.

Auxiliary ingredients: salt, MSG, onion, ginger, coriander, rice wine, soy sauce, rice vinegar

2. Use boiled water, do not have too high water temperature, remove hair after scalding, and wash;

3. Cut the duck belly open, take out the internal organs and wash it (don’t put it in water after the duck is cut open);

…”

"The second form: Kung Pao Chicken Ding."

"The third form: fish-flavored shredded meat."

"The fourth style: Secret kimchi."

...

The book is extremely detailed, from the main course to the ingredients, to the cooking steps, and even the precise heat and time. Not to mention famous chefs like Tang Zheng, even ordinary chefs can operate according to the recipe.

Although I don’t know what the actual taste is, the trick still looks very powerful, and even Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment.

However, since it is a secret book, it must be the kind of yellowed paper. Not only is the new paper in this book, but there seems to be some places where the ink traces are not dry...

"This book is related to the survival of my Zhao family in the restaurant in Jiangning City. However, Uncle Tang has served in the Zhao family for 30 years. I have no doubts. I also asked Uncle Tang to spend ten days studying the magic. At the same time, I will find two other confidant chefs. I must wait until I test my loyalty before I can let him study it. Remember, remember!"

"If you study the secret techniques of cooking, you must not let anyone know about it. From tomorrow on the fourth and fifth floors, guests will no longer be received, so that Uncle Tang can study. I will raise the spirit from the mansion to guard it, so as not to be disturbed by Uncle Yun."

After Zhao Hao's explanation, he led the crowd to leave.
