Peerless Young Master

"Son-in-law, can this thing really be used to make delicious food?"

"Yeah, I've lived half my life and I've never seen this thing before."

At the entrance of Lin's Restaurant, several people looked at the iron barrel in front of them with great curiosity.

Even the experienced Master Hai was scratching his head, looking confused as to what on earth was this.

But there was a rare excitement in their eyes. After eating the delicious hot pot, they realized how powerful Li Xuan was.

Since it is said that the food made with this thing is no less delicious than hot pot, then the taste must be similar and absolutely delicious.

Li Xuan was concentrating on staring at the hollow iron barrel in front of him. The surface was polished very smoothly and it would not feel prickly even if touched by hand. There were also several small holes designed on the edge for venting air.

This surprised him a little. There were no small holes in the original design drawings. It was not until the firing process that he discovered that if these small holes were not there, he would have no idea what was going on inside from the outside.

After all, there was no glass in this era, so it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside. One could only calculate the approximate maturity range through time, then open a small hole and observe carefully.

“I don’t know what effect this delicacy will have.”

Li Xuan muttered to himself, and gently placed the tip of his nose on the small hole and sniffed, he could already smell the fragrance.

He immediately asked the servant to extinguish the charcoal fire below and use the residual heat to complete this last step.

"It smells good." Hai Chef tapped his nose twice, and a meaty aroma slowly wafted over. This taste actually made him want to swallow his saliva.

"Why didn't I smell it?" Uncle Wang asked curiously.

"Uncle Wang, you are not a chef, so you are naturally not as sensitive to the aroma of food as Master Hai," Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Son-in-law, although there is an iron barrel between us, I can feel the aroma inside is getting stronger and stronger. It has a kind of magic that makes me drool. I can't wait to taste it." Hai Chu stared at the iron barrel, wishing he could open it immediately.

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It needs final processing before you can enjoy this delicious delicacy."

"Whoa, whoa"

Just then, a carriage slowly stopped.

"The eldest lady is here," someone said.

By looking at the style of the carriage, you can tell who the person is.

After a while, two figures jumped down from the deck outside the carriage, and then a graceful figure slowly walked down. It was Lin Ruolin.

"Why are you all here?"

When she saw that several people were outside, she was a little surprised.

"Miss, your uncle is preparing delicious food again. We are very curious and want to see what it is," Uncle Wang explained.

delicacy?

Lin Ruolin saw the conspicuous iron barrel. Although she was a little curious, she had more important things to do at the moment.

"Everyone, this is Mr. Zhao's apprentice, named Han San. He will be the chef of the restaurant in the future. You must cooperate with him and build up the restaurant business as soon as possible."

Then he looked at Han San and said, "Han San, you're new here. If you don't understand something, you can ask them. They are all old people."

Han San looked at the few people, his eyelids raised, and a hint of arrogance flashed between his brows.

"Miss, the Mr. Zhao you are talking about is the one from Manchun Garden," Uncle Wang thought for a while.

"exactly"

"So you are Mr. Zhao's disciple. I'm so sorry." Uncle Wang's expression changed obviously.

"You're welcome," Han San greeted indifferently.

Mr. Zhao?

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed. Although he didn't know him, judging from the attitudes of the two men, he thought he must be a powerful person.

But his eyes were looking at Lin Ruolin. Finding a cook at this time...

"Um"

Suddenly, Han San's expression changed. He kept sniffing something and looking around. He soon found his target and walked towards the iron barrel.

"What's in here?"

He pointed at the iron barrel.

"It's a duck," Wang Bodao said.

"Duck"?

Han San frowned. What kind of duck smells so good?

"Looking at the time, the duck is almost done. Since we're all here, everyone can try it later. If there's anything wrong with it, feel free to point it out."

"You go in first, Master Hai and I will stay here."

Soon, the roast duck was taken out of the iron barrel. The moment the barrel was opened, the aroma instantly turned into wisps of golden mist that kept entwining around the human mouth, making people unable to stop.

“Wow, it’s so delicious!”

“The color is bright red, the meat is tender, the flavor is rich, fat but not greasy, it is simply the best duck, the most delicious in the world”

"As expected of a son-in-law, it's extraordinary."

Everyone tasted the roast duck and gave sincere praises.

The aroma is mixed with a hint of burnt fragrance and the rich aroma of oil blooming under high temperature. The skin is baked golden and crispy, while the meat inside remains tender and juicy. Two completely different tastes and flavors are perfectly integrated at this moment.

It is simply the best duck and a delicacy on earth.

Even though she was used to eating all kinds of delicious food, at this moment, Lin Ruolin was amazed. She was simply stunning.

Even Zhenxiulou didn't have such delicious food. The look he gave Li Xuan became shocked again.

His hot pot skills are amazing enough, but I didn’t expect his roast duck skills are even more amazing.

Han San's pupils also contracted violently. As a skilled chef, he naturally knew what this delicacy represented.

Even he had never eaten duck cooked in this way, and it was no less delicious than Mr. Zhao's.

Before leaving, Mr. Zhao found him and asked him to come to the restaurant to show off his skills so as to intimidate these people and prevent them from looking down on him.

Unexpectedly, he was given a warning before he even made a move, which made him feel deeply fearful.

“It’s good, that’s all. I can make a dozen different ways of cooking a duck.

Since I will be the chef from now on, I will show you my cooking skills today and let you see what twenty years of hard work means."

Han San decided to take action and not let others overshadow him, so as to avoid gossip in the future. He then ordered two people to help him in the kitchen.

Lin Ruolin naturally did not refuse this scene. She also wanted to know how good this person's craftsmanship was and whether he was worthy of her trust.

In just a short while, Han San had prepared his signature dish.

After tasting it, everyone thought it was good. The cooking skills were no worse than those of the two previous masters. He was worthy of being Master Zhao’s apprentice.

"It's a bit hasty, done casually, it doesn't count."

Han San pretended to be modest, but the pride on his face was hard to conceal, and the look he gave Li Xuan was full of provocation and showing off.

Li Xuan didn't think so. It was just the same level as when he was in high school.

"Okay, now that everyone knows each other, from today on, Chef Han will be in charge of the restaurant's kitchen. You all must cooperate with him."

Lin Ruolin made the final decision, and just like that, Han San became the only head chef of Lin’s Restaurant.

Afterwards, she gave a few instructions and left the restaurant.

Li Xuan followed him, and the two sat facing each other on both sides of the carriage: "Who is this Mr. Zhao? He is worthy of your personal visit so early in the morning."

"Mr. Zhao's craftsmanship is among the best in Qingfeng City. In his early years, he served high-ranking officials and nobles. Later, when he got older, he took the initiative to return home to retire.

"I haven't made a move for a long time. This time, I heard that he was thinking of making a move, so I went to visit him in person," Lin Ruolin replied.

“No agreement reached”

I went to invite Mr. Zhao, but instead an apprentice showed up, which clearly wasn't enough leverage.

"Well, but I am confident that I can convince Mr. Zhao."

"You've seen Han San's cooking skills, they're really good. He's worthy of being Master Zhao's apprentice. If you give him more time, it won't be a problem for him to surpass the two previous chefs.

With this person in charge, plus Mr. Zhao's reputation, it's enough to bring the restaurant back to life."

Despite this, there was still worry in Lin Ruolin's eyes.

Right now, there are still two days until the appointment with Great Uncle...
