Chapter 531 Mr. Liu’s Birthday Banquet
When paying homage to the old man for his birthday, naturally the birthday gift was given to the old man at the beginning, leaving only Liu Jian'an's gift.
"Jian'an, your birthday banquet is ready." Mr. Liu sat on the main seat and said with a smile as he looked at Liu Jian'an.
"Okay, grandpa, let me go take a look." When Liu Jianan stood up and was about to go, the person he arranged to be responsible for serving food at Yuan Zhou's place walked in with a large plate.
"Grandpa, don't think you need me to go, Boss Yuan is already ready." Liu Jian'an said happily.
"Well, bring it up and let me take a look." Mr. Liu was not greedy, but he thought it was his grandson's filial piety and he was very cooperative.
"Come on, come on, let me see what the first dish prepared by Boss Yuan is." Liu Jian'an also looked curious. Without waiting for the man to walk in, he stepped forward and took the tray, as if he was preparing to serve the food himself.
What this man brought was a large tray with five small plates on it. You could tell at a glance that these were cold dishes.
During the banquet, the first dish to be served must be cold dishes, but five cold dishes are still too few for the people at this table.
"Maybe there's a lot of weight." Liu Jian thought to himself and put it directly on the table.
"Old man, I'm here to see what kind of skills the master Jian'an hired has." The sixth master said with a smile.
"Sir, the chef told me that you have to eat it as soon as you open it, otherwise the taste will change when it gets cold and it won't be suitable for you." The young man who brought the food said quickly.
"Then let me lift the plate for you." Sitting on the left hand side of the old man was Liu Jian'an's father, Liu Jianguo.
"No, I have to take care of my grandson's filial piety myself." Master Liu refused, stepped forward and opened the covered plate happily.
"Hua Hua Hua Hua" five times in a row,
The old man quickly opened the lid.
But as soon as the lid was lifted, the people on the table began to look at each other.
The colors of the plate happen to be five colors, black, white, red, yellow, green, five colors.
The five colors correspond to the five internal organs.
The black plate contains two finger-wide slices of black crystal pastry-like dishes, decorated with a circle of green plants on the edge, which looks quite harmonious. The white plate contains small white almond cake-like squares, mainly In each pastry, you can clearly see a ginkgo embedded in it, and some small flowers are painted on the side, which is also quite beautiful.
The red plate is a cold shredded radish, dotted with chili peppers, which looks refreshing and delicious.
In the yellow plate are some slightly steaming yellow mashed potatoes sprinkled with chopped green onions.
As for the last green plate, there were two ordinary green bamboo shoots.
The things on several plates all have the same characteristics, that is, they are exquisite and appetizing, but there is also a problem, that is, there are few. Basically, the old man only takes one chopstick and the plate is empty.
"Hahaha, Jian'an, is the master chef you are looking for here to feed the cats? How can you eat so little?" The girl Hongjun pointed at the dishes on the table and laughed unceremoniously.
"This cold dish is usually appetizing, so I'm sure it will be less." Liu Jian'an frowned and retorted loudly.
"Humph, then this is too little." Red Army snorted coldly.
"Okay, let me try it first." The old man was not angry, but rather interested.
"You really have to try it. The five colors and five elements correspond exactly to the five internal organs. I see that these foods are also good for the five internal organs, which is quite ingenious." This was said by the other son on the right hand side of the old man.
This man studied Chinese medicine, and he understood it as soon as the five-color plate was served.
"Yes, yes, this is for the sake of grandpa's health. Teacher Yuan's cooking is delicious. Please try it, grandpa." Liu Jian'an immediately nodded in agreement.
"Well, let's eat this shredded radish first." Mr. Liu was more interested in this refreshing and spicy-looking shredded radish.
This shredded radish is not dark red, but watery red. Each radish is cut into extremely fine pieces, just enough to hold a chopstick, without any extra strands.
Pop it into your mouth.
"Crack, click," the shredded radish made a crisp snapping sound in the mouth.
The shredded radish is extremely thin, making it almost effortless to chew, but it does not affect its crisp texture. The small red pepper only slightly irritates the tongue.
After eating, there was still an extremely sour taste, but once the sour taste passed, Mr. Liu actually tasted the light taste of the radish itself.
"Well, this shredded radish is good, very refreshing." Mr. Liu said with great satisfaction.
He lowered his head to take another bite but found that the plate was empty, not even one more stick.
"It's just a little less." Mr. Liu muttered.
"How is it? Grandpa, is it delicious?" Liu Jian'an asked expectantly.
"It's okay, I'll try this again." Mr. Liu said and picked up the green bamboo shoots.
Liu Jian'an was a little wimpy when he heard what his grandfather said was okay, but he saw that Mr. Liu turned to another dish with great interest. Liu Jianan was relieved again.
After all, Mr. Liu is now ninety-one. He is old and frail, and his requirements for food are both ridiculously low and ridiculously high. He rarely eats proactively like this, even if it is a small amount.
As for the other people at the table who were originally dissatisfied, they all stopped talking for the time being when they saw Master Liu eating green bamboo shoots with a satisfied look on his face. After all, Master Liu was the most important.
The green bamboo shoots also follow the crispy route, but these are thin slices and almost melt in the mouth, but after a while, the fragrance of the green bamboo shoots emerges from the bottom of the tongue, and the taste is pure.
"This is not bad, but it's a little less." Mr. Liu said it this time.
The older they get, the younger they get, and they are all members of the same family. There were so few dishes, so Mr. Liu finished the five dishes by himself without even greeting anyone else. Before he could urge him, new dishes were brought over.
This time it was hot soup, a cup of hot soup, so small that Mr. Liu only took one sip and then finished it.
"Oh, this is so annoying, why is it gone?" Mr. Liu smacked his mouth and looked out the door.
Liu Jianan, on the other hand, became more and more embarrassed. Two dishes were served in succession, a cold dish and a sparrow-like dish with a small amount of hot soup. Everyone on the table began to stare at Liu Jianan.
Mr. Liu didn't care. It was rare to find such appetizing dishes. He was really hungry after eating such appetizers.
"Sir, here are six hot dishes." The young man who delivered the dishes came again and placed them directly in front of the old man.
As soon as I opened it, it was still like feeding a cat. It was pitifully small, but also delicate and cute.
After a while, Mr. Liu finished eating. After all, there was only one bite of the same dish, and it was so delicious.
Therefore, when eating, Mr. Liu never imagined that his son, wife, and grandson would all be watching him eat eagerly.
"Liu Jian'an, what kind of master did you find, just for this banquet?" Liu Jianguo, Liu Jian'an's father, asked directly with a glare.
"I think Boss Yuan made these specially for the old man. Knowing that grandpa has a bad appetite, he will definitely not do it later." Liu Jian'an explained bravely and affirmed himself.
"Go and see what's going on." Liu Jianguo said majestically.
"Okay." Liu Jian'an responded and ran away immediately, just missing the young man who came to serve the food.
But this time the young man who served the dish was already serving longevity noodles. After all, the previous ones had been served.
