Dragon Clan: Little Dragon Man Changes Job to Food Hunter

Chapter 173: Centennial Family
After the meal, Lu Mingfei glanced at the old and frail Jie Nai, and forgot that the other party was a top boss. He stood up with Chu Zihang and planned to help clean up the dishes.

Caesar tied his hair up and started wiping the tables, chairs and benches with a rag.

Soon, Lu Mingfei took the rag and went to do simple cleaning work with Caesar.

Caesar was surprised: "The dishes are washed so quickly?"

Lu Mingfei had a wooden face: "No, because I don't know how to wash dishes."

Caesar slowly typed a question mark.

What can't you do?
Can’t wash dishes?!
After asking, Caesar finally understood what was going on.

The world of food has many wonderful ingredients, and some special cooking ingredients even challenge your three views.

Whether it is the processing of ingredients or the final cooking of multiple ingredients, the procedures and materials involved are relatively complicated.

Therefore, kitchen cleaning also requires a certain level of technical skills. It is commonly known that there are industry barriers and poor students are prohibited from entering.

Caesar and Lu Mingfei looked at each other.

Is the threshold for housekeeping so high these days?
If it were a lively wedding venue or a large party, I feel that the housekeepers at Food World might not be able to do the job without a certain level of education.

Fortunately, the furniture and facilities in Grandma Jie's place are of normal standard, otherwise they would only be able to watch Chu Zihang help there.

To outsiders, they looked like young people who didn't know etiquette.

When outsiders ask you why you can stand there and do nothing with a clear conscience, can you say it is because our basic knowledge is not solid?

It's so heartbreaking and embarrassing.

After leaving Jie Nai Canteen, the group walked on the streets of the Food City and slowly digested their food.

Chu Zihang said: "Old Lu, what's on the delivery note? Do you recognize that kind of food?"

"When Grandma Setsunori said the word 'drink', it should be a beverage or something like wine to go with your meal."

Lu Zao scratched his head: "Uh, I know, it's wine."

Caesar understood: "When Grandma Jie mentioned the cellar, I thought it was the kind of oriental liquor that had been stored for decades."

The aging year and optimal drinking period of wine are calculated based on the type and quality of the raw materials. Most wines are different from liquors, which become more valuable as they are stored for a longer time.

Although I don’t know if there is any serious scientific basis for this, I think there should be some in the world of food.

After receiving two pieces of advice, Caesar now blindly believes in Grandma Jie's choice.

He really didn't believe that this wine, which was specially ordered by the national treasure of mankind, would have any problems with appearance and quality.

Lu Zao nodded: "It is indeed out of the cellar. The wine of the Centennial Family is very famous in the entire human world."

Lu Mingfei was stunned: "A century-old family. They have been making wine for a hundred years?"

Chu Zihang remembered: "No, the surname of this family is Bai Nian. To be more precise, it should be Bai Nian Grape."

"It's a more Western-style family. To use the simplest example, it's a name like John Centennial Grape."

Lu Mingfei: "If it were me, would my name be Mingfei·Lu·Hundred-year Grape?"

Although I have heard that many Western names and family crests use some animals and plants that exist in nature to divide the aristocratic classes, this seems to be the first time I have heard of the word "grape" being used directly.

Lu Zao nodded and motioned Chu Zihang to continue. The Centennial Grape Family was a very famous grape merchant in the human world. It had a family-style business structure and a grape estate that covered an area as large as a city.

The century-old family is involved in any business field involving the word "grapes", and is also a leader in the industry.

To put it bluntly, even if it is a grape-scented air freshener, as long as you find the trademark of Centennial Grape, it means you have found the best air freshener with grape scent.

Lu Mingfei had a strange look on his face, as he recalled the products from his previous life that were gradually becoming a mess.

Even small balloons can have various scents. I wonder if the century-old grape family in the food world will develop to that level.

Caesar was puzzled: "Then the question is, I can understand that such a family changed their surname to Grape, but why must they be called Centennial Grape?"

This is like the emperors in the feudal civilization period. You are already a top boss known to the world, so do you have to add a prefix to your title and make it like "the invincible, brave, number one in the world, indestructible, and unyielding emperor with a golden gun"?
It's not a posthumous title and it's not a history book, so there's no point in having so many titles.

So, it’s because of the ingredients?

Lu Zao said, "Caesar, you just mentioned the wine coming out of the cellar, right?"

“The best time to drink the most acclaimed wine of the Centennial Family is within one year after one hundred years.”

“In other words, wine made from century-old grapes needs to be cellared for a hundred years before it can have its true aroma and wonderful taste.”

Chu Zihang continued, "Because of this, the Centennial Family is a rare conscientious enterprise and health-conscious family. Ordinary employees outside the family structure can all enjoy extremely high welfare benefits. There is no exploitation at all."

"As for why they are a health-preserving family, it actually has something to do with a custom within the century-old family."

"They are proud to drink the century-old wine they stored in the wine cellar. The importance they attach to it is almost equal to the academy's obsession with killing the Dragon King."

Lu Zao smiled and said, "Old Chu is right. Generally speaking, this is how a century-old family is."

“There are many types of wine besides century-old wines, but century-old wines are not only of high quality but also have a gimmick, so they are quite valuable.”

"Take their family tradition for example. If an old man drinks his own century-old wine before he dies, the funeral will definitely be a happy one. Maybe there will even be a band playing a few songs."

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. For ordinary people, drinking the century-old wine they brewed themselves is like living with three or four generations of their family when they are old.

To put it more directly, when you are old and lying in bed waiting for the time to come, you will be surrounded by friendly young people of all ages, and your young grandchildren will pull at your skinny old fingers and beg you not to die.

And you died with a smile on your face.

As soon as he closed his eyes at a time like this, anyone who came would ask him to give the old man a happy funeral so that he could pass away in a dignified manner.

Caesar and Lu Mingfei were stunned.

Constantine and Samson, the two immortals, didn't feel anything about this, but they felt different when they heard these words.

If you want to drink the wine you stored in the wine cellar, even if everyone in the family knows how to make wine since they were born and becomes a winemaker at the age of three, it means that these people have to live to at least 103 years old!

This is based on the premise that century-old grapes happen to be ripe when the person is three years old. If not, he will probably have to wait a little longer.

Not everyone in the world is a top boss like Lu Zao and Jie Nai. The value of a centenarian is still very strong in the world of ordinary people.

Lu Mingfei was amazed and thought that if those stupid entrepreneurs and executives in the future went to work in such a place, they would probably be kicked out on the first day.

Just as the eminent monk said when he was answering the questions of the confused young novice.

You roll you (beep——) thing.
