Chapter 13 Imitation Tofu

Wujiang Town, Wu family’s back kitchen.

The Wu family kitchen is located on the east side of the courtyard. There is a chef and a chef in the kitchen. The chef is named Wang Datou and the chef is named Liu Quan. The two are preparing lunch for Wu Zhendong.

Wu Zhendong’s lunch consists of four dishes and one soup. Two cold dishes have been prepared, two hot dishes have been put into the pot, and a soup is also stewed in the pot.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was no longer busy, Liu Quan wiped his hands with his waist and asked Wang Datou beside him: "Brother Wang, yesterday, butler Wu ordered us to make two tofu dishes for the old man, and whether we can still make them?"

Hearing Liu Quan's words, Wang Datou sat on the bench beside him and spat: "Nonsense, if I could do it, wouldn't I have done it long ago?"

"Brother Wang, I see those two dishes are not very complicated. What's the difficulty?" asked Liu Quan, the chef.

"You kid have only been in the kitchen for a few years. I have cooked more dishes than you kid." Wang Datou glared at the other party and said.

It’s not that Wang Datou doesn’t want to make those two tofu dishes, but the key is that he has the will but lacks strength. Those two dishes are indeed not complicated, but the difficult thing is that there is no ingredients like tofu.

Wang Datou changed his position and squatted on the bench beside him. Wang Datou had tasted the two leftover dishes that Wu Zhong brought yesterday, but he still couldn't taste the tofu material.

"Dadada..."

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside, and Wang Datou and Liu Quan looked out at the same time.

I saw the butler Wu Zhong trotted in all the way, and asked in a angrily manner: "Wang Datou, have you made those two tofu dishes?"

In this world, the emperor has always been in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. Old Master Wu is the emperor in the Wu family. His instructions were that what he wanted to eat was a huge thing for the servants, so Wu Zhong naturally did not dare to neglect the slightest.

"I can't catch up today, let's go another day." After hearing Butler Wu's words, Wang Datou's face froze. He was embarrassed to say that he couldn't do it, so he could only step back with his teeth.

"Wang Datou, it won't work another day. The old man urged him again. He must eat those two dishes at noon. You can cook them for me immediately now." Wu Zhong said without doubt.

Wu Datou can also guess why Mr. Wu likes those two dishes. Mr. Wu has always liked to eat meat, but the meat of the monster is relatively hard. As Mr. Wu gets older, he can no longer bite the meat and is difficult to digest.

However, the two tofu dishes I ate yesterday have the taste of meat, crispy and soft, which is definitely a top-notch ingredient, and is easy to eat and easy to digest, making it very suitable for the elderly and children.

In addition, people have the nature of being fond of the new and getting tired of the old. When they eat a new ingredient, they naturally think that they have to eat it several times, so Mr. Wu fell in love with tofu at first sight.

Although Wang Datou was clear in his heart, he was unfortunately unable to do it. Seeing Wu Zhong’s big eyes, he could only tell the truth and said, “Butler Wu, it’s not that I don’t want to do it, but that I can’t do it.”

"Why, why can't you make it? Have you not been a chef in a restaurant before? How could you not do it?" Wu Zhong couldn't help but feel anxious and asked sternly when he heard Wang Datou's words.

Seeing Wu Zhongxun's grandson's tone, Wang Datou's fire also rose and said, "It's not that I can't make it, but there is no ingredients like tofu. If you buy some fresh tofu for me, I'll make it for you now."

"Wang Datou, I have never missed the kitchen cost of whom you are with me. You won't buy any ingredients you lack," Wu Zhong shouted.

"Hmph, only Yipinju has the ingredients of tofu. They only sell ready-made dishes and do not sell tofu ingredients at all. Where do you ask me to buy them?" Wang Datou said, stretching his neck.

"this……"

When Wu Zhong heard Wang Datou's words, he was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, and said, "Didn't you eat those two dishes yesterday? You can't make tofu by yourself? You have to go to Yipinju to buy it."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm not a chef, I will definitely make it after eating it. If it was so easy, the ingredients like tofu had been copied by other restaurants long ago. How could it be exclusive to Yipinju?" Wang Datou scolded.

"This...what should I do?" Wu Zhong sighed and said.

The Wu family cannot make tofu dishes by themselves. The easiest thing is to go to Yipinju to pack tofu dishes, but Wu Zhong knows the strong relationship between his family and Yipinju.

Yesterday, Wu Zhong was able to pack dishes in Yipinju. It was Wu Zhong who gave the Yan family’s grandchildren’s tips. The Yan family’s grandchildren did not make things difficult for him and asked him to pack two dishes.

However, today is the day when Wu Chunlai took back the restaurant. If he didn't get it right, he would become enemies. Wu Zhong didn't think he was well-behaved and asked the Yan family's grandchildren to pack dishes for him.

"Forget it, Wang Datou, serve the food as usual. If you can get over it, you will get over it. If you can't get over it, I will tell the truth." Wu Zhong sighed and said.

...

At noon, Wu Zhendong was eating in his side hall as usual, and the housekeeper Wu Zhong served on the side. However, when Wu Zhendong saw the four dishes and one soup on the table, his face became gloomy.

Wu Zhendong slapped the table, looked at Wu Zhong beside him and asked, "Wu Zhong, where are the two tofu dishes I want to eat? Why haven't it been here yet?"

The reason why Wu Zhendong's face was so gloomy was not just for food, but just felt that his request was very simple. Wu Zhong did not copy it as he told him. He took his words as an indifferent person and did not take himself seriously.

"Old man, I have already ordered the kitchen to make it, but without tofu ingredients, you can't make tofu dishes at all." Wu Zhong bowed his body and answered carefully.

"Without ingredients like tofu, wouldn't the kitchen buy it? Could it be that you deducted silver?" Wu Zhendong asked.

"Old Master, you are wronged by the young man. Even if you use the young man's ten courage, the young man dare not do such a thing." Wu Zhong explained in panic:

"The ingredients of tofu are the exclusive ingredients of Yipinju. They do not sell ingredients to the outside world, but only sell ready-made dishes."

"You guy is stupid. You won't go to Yipinju to pack dishes." Wu Zhendong said.

"Master, it's not that I'm unwilling to do it, but that I have my last resort." Wu Zhong said with a grievance.

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me the whole thing, don't think that if you call me "Old Master", I really won't be in charge." Wu Zhendong said coldly.

"Old man, I don't dare." Wu Zhong responded carefully, and then told Wu Zhendong everything that he had owed Yipinju's rent.

After hearing Wu Zhong's description, Wu Zhendong stroked his beard and said, "So that's the case. Although the boss's approach is a bit unkind, he cannot be wrong."

"Old Master, it is precisely because of such a conflict that I did not go to Yipinju to pack the dishes." Wu Zhong muttered again, clearing his suspicion.

"You guys are just elm-headed. You can't go to Yipinju to pack dishes. You won't go to other restaurants to pack. Will other restaurants be sold to you?" Wu Zhendong said.

"Old man, tofu is the exclusive dish of Yipinju. The young man doesn't know if other restaurants can make tofu dishes." Wu Zhong explained.

"Hmph, businessmen are pursuing profits and are more likely to cheat. When an restaurant is advertising, it is not claiming that there are exclusive dishes at home, but it is just a gimmick." Wu Zhendong shook his head slightly and said.

"Old man, do I want me to go to other restaurants to ask if there are any tofu dishes in other restaurants?" Wu Zhong said.
