After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

The Zheng family is rich and well-connected, and can buy things from all over the world. Moreover, for the old man's 60th birthday, the Zheng family's distant relatives and neighbors tried their best to send food to the old man.

Shanzhenhaiwei literally means delicacies from the mountains and the sea. Although this place is not close to the sea, there are still many dried seafood, such as dried abalone and dried scallops.

When Ye Xunqing saw the abalone, he immediately thought of the famous southeastern dish "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". When the dish was opened, the aroma of the meat spread to the neighbors, and Buddha jumped over the wall when he heard it. It can be seen how delicious this dish is.

But this dish is too expensive and not suitable for banquets, but Ye Xunqing wants to give it a try, not for anything else, he wants to make some for Xiaobai and the others.

Mr. Zheng is not stingy. Every time Ye Xunqing finishes cooking, he will keep some for himself. It's just a little bit, but Mr. Zheng has no objection. He even tells him to make more and keep more.

However, Ye Xunqing only left that much, and did not covet too many small gains. It would be more than he could chew, and it would be even more not worth it to be driven away because of a little food.

A good Buddha Jumps Over the Wall cannot be completed in one day, because different ingredients must be added over several days and then soaked in flavor before proceeding to the next step. By the time that dish is finished, the sixteen dishes for Mr. Zheng’s birthday banquet have been selected.

On the last night, Ye Xunqing only cooked one dish for Mr. Zheng: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which he had been preparing for several days. Time was limited, so Ye Xunqing had to make whatever he wanted.

As soon as the ceramic jar was opened, a rich aroma wafted out instantly. No wonder they said that Buddha would jump over the wall when he smelled it. The smell is so strong that it can really make people dizzy.

The raw materials used are not quick-grown, but grown slowly. The longer the ingredients are grown, the richer the flavor.

Carefully selected ingredients, superb cooking skills, and slow cooking over low heat create a very precious and delicious dish.

"Okay, okay." Old Master Zheng was very pleased. "Xiao Ye, from now on, your family should not return to that small village. Stay in Yuanzhou City and cook for me. I will never treat you unfairly."

Ye Xunqing didn't want to stay here. He could tell which was happier, working as an individual outdoor contractor or being a slave for others for the rest of his life.

"The Zheng Mansion is very good, and the old man is very kind to us, but I have an elderly father at home and two unmarried brothers, so I dare not stay." Ye Xunqing said, "When parents are still alive, one should not travel far away. My husband's parents are still alive, so I cannot stay."

Filial piety is the most important virtue. Seeing how filial he was, Mr. Zheng stopped forcing them to do so. However, he had to ask Ye Xunqing to cook more food for the few days he was still here, as he might not have the chance to eat it in the future.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Old Master Zheng gave Ye Xunqing a lot of reward silver, so Ye Xunqing would prepare three meals a day for him. He would cook for reward silver and cook for reward silver. In just a few days, Ye Xunqing earned more silver than in the past few months. Even if he ran away now, he would not lose anything.

Mr. Zheng's birthday is in three days. Ye Xunqing called his younger brothers and sisters to a meeting in the evening and told them what to do next and what to buy.

Mo Yuyan and the people from the Zheng Mansion went to do the shopping, Liu Xiaojing and Feng Jingheng were given the side dishes, Xiaobai was the errand boy, and Ye Xunqing was the chef of this banquet.

To be honest, it was his first time to host a banquet for hundreds of people. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, but nothing is difficult in this world as long as one puts his mind to it and does it.

The weather is cold, so there is no need to worry about the food going bad, so Ye Xunqing fries the dishes that can be fried in advance and then reprocesses them on the day of eating.

With Master Zheng's order, the people in the kitchen dared not disobey Ye Xunqing, but they were not convinced and were harboring evil intentions in their hearts.

That day, Ye Xunqing wanted to fry the crispy fish for the table, but because he had other work to do, he gave the task to a cook in the mansion.

The cook said he would fry it, but when Ye Xunqing came back, not only was the oil in the pot black, but the fish was all burnt, and even the semi-finished product he had fried was in the pot.

The cook, still shaking his spoon innocently, said, "Master Ye, I'm so sorry. I didn't know how you were going to fry this fish. I didn't dare to fish it out until you came back."

Everyone in the kitchen stopped to watch the fun. They had been annoyed with this guy for a long time. How could a guy from another place dare to sit over their heads and give them orders, showing off his power? How could he stand up to them?

"You did it on purpose!" Liu Xiaojing came in from outside carrying dishes. Seeing that they had burnt the fish, he was almost crying with anger.

It was so cold, and they spent so much time killing fish outside that their hands were almost frozen. Unexpectedly, the fish was ruined before it was even served.

"We don't know what to do." The cook was still quibbling, "You didn't explain it clearly, so this is your fault."

Liu Xiaojing was very angry, "What did you say?"

Ye Xunqing stopped Liu Xiaojing and said, "It's okay, leave it to me."

Ye Xunqing grabbed a kitchen knife from the table and walked towards the pot. "You said you know how to fry fish, right? Don't worry, I can teach you."

The cook was a little panicked, "What do you want to do?"

Ye Xunqing said: "If you don't listen to my instructions and don't remember my teachings, then you don't need these ears and hands."

The cook opened his eyes wide and asked, "You dare?"

Ye Xunqing grabbed his hair and pressed his face against the hot stove, the kitchen knife only a few inches from his ear. "Did you see how I fried the fish just now?"

The cook quickly replied, "Look, I see."

Ye Xunqing asked again: "Do you know how to fry fish?"

"Know, know."

"Then why did you fry the fish like this?" Ye Xunqing said, "You useless piece of shit. I don't know why the Zheng family hired a piece of shit like you. I might as well cripple your hand today so you can stop being a cook."

"No, you can't do that!" the cook cried. "Help! Someone's killing someone!"

Others wanted to come up to help, but Ye Xunqing casually threw a piece of battered fish at them, "Whoever dares to come over, I'll chop off their hands! You're a bunch of losers, you can't cook, you can't be a human being, your minds are smaller than sesame seeds, your courage is less than a mouse, and you only know how to use despicable tricks, right? Master Zheng trusted you so much, is this how you repay him? If I were Master Zheng, I would kill anyone who ruined my birthday party!"

No one in the kitchen made a sound, only the firewood at the bottom of the pot was crackling.

The Zheng family’s chefs looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Ye Xunqing was too lazy to waste time talking to them. He dragged the troublemaker to the door and kicked him out. "If anyone dares to cause trouble again, I'll chop off his hand!"

Since the monkeys are disobedient, kill a chicken to scare them, and Ye Xunqing doesn't mind killing a few more chickens.
