Chapter 76 The legendary gourmet
When Sun Ling came to the private room, she first looked at the person sitting. The two men and two women were very beautiful, especially the one wearing glasses. The more conspicuous man, Sun Ling knew Lin Chen, a business manager of a large company, and often came to Fumanlou.
However, Lin Chen probably wouldn't know that there is soup and wine on Fumanlou. Even if he knows, he can't order it, because that book is not a product and not everyone is qualified to drink it.
But Sun Ling's eyes fell on another man who looked ordinary, and was shocked, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Mr. Li, when did you come to our Fumanlou? I didn't say anything. We can prepare some good dishes for you. This is really rude."
Lin Chen and Lin Ke were both stunned, and even Zhou Qin was a little surprised. It seemed that Li Mu was actually a regular customer in Fumanlou.
"Manager Sun is so polite. This time someone invited me to a meal. A few people gathered together, but I didn't expect to alarm you. But I was really unable to drink, but this friend Lin Chen wanted to invite me to drink very much. I had to say a kind of wine that I could drink now. If he could get it, I would sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman to drink it." Li Mu told the matter clearly so that Fu Manlou would really bring the soup and wine for his sake, which would be a little trouble.
Sun Ling is naturally a very crafty person, otherwise she would not be the lobby manager. Li Mu said so clearly that she naturally knew what was going on.
"Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. The weather is a bit irritable now. Mr. Fu is in poor health. He went to the mountain to escape the heat. Mr. Fu is not here, so we can't get out the soup and wine. Please forgive me. If you really want to drink the soup and wine, you can only wait for a while for Mr. Fu to come back." Sun Ling said this to Li Mu, but the meaning was to let Lin Chen listen, that is, Li Mu's goal is achieved and he will not offend Lin Chen directly.
"Since that's the case, then forget it. I don't want to drink very much. Just eat something like this and chat." Li Mu said with a smile.
"I'll go down first if you have any questions. If you have anything to do, just call me." Sun Ling smiled and said a few words, then left the private room. She could naturally see that the atmosphere between Lin Chen and Li Mu was wrong, so she naturally refused to stay here forever.
"It seems really unfortunate that we can only drink here today." Li Mu smiled at Lin Chen.
"It turns out that Li Mu, you are a regular customer of Fumanlou. No wonder you are so clear about what kind of wine there is in Fumanlou. I am so ignorant. Next time I have the chance, I must try the soup and wine so as not to make people laugh." Lin Chen's expression was a little stiff.
"Li Mu, are you very familiar with the boss of Fumanlou?" Lin Ke asked in surprise. The boss of Fumanlou is a person with status, and she has heard of this. This Fumanlou is just someone else's hobbies. In fact, it is not for making money. It is precisely because of this that Fumanlou can maintain high quality and become the top Chinese restaurant in H City.
"It's not so cooked. I only came here for a meal and happened to meet Mr. Fu. I chatted with him for a few words, because they were all foodies and they were very close to each other." Li Mu told the truth.
"That's really rare." Lin Chen and Lin Ke thought to themselves that, Li Mu is not from S City, and there is probably only one place where he can get involved with Mr. Fu.
Lin Chen couldn't drink Li Mu's wine, and he felt a little depressed, lowered his head to eat and stopped talking.
Not long after, the private room door was knocked open again, but Li Yang came over with a dish and placed it on the table. Yuhan said to Li Mu respectfully: "Mr. Li, you are so disgusting. When you come to Fumanlou, you don't say anything, so that I can do my best to make a few dishes for you. This is my newly developed dish. Please give me some advice."
Lin Ke, Lin Chen, and Zhou Qin all looked at Li Mu in surprise. Chefs like Li Yang are actually not of any status, but there are not many people who can make him so respectful.
"Master Li, you are so polite. I just came to have a meal with my friends. I didn't want to disturb you." Li Mu smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't have the taste of beads and lemons now, so it would be strange if he could taste it.
However, Li Yang had already brought the dishes, and he couldn't say it if he didn't taste them. He picked up a little and put them in his mouth and tasted them. It tasted quite delicious.
After savoring for a moment, Li Mu smiled and said, "Impossible."
If someone else only said these four words, Li Yang was lazy to listen, but these four words came from Li Muzhi who said "the ingredients are dead, and we should cry", then it would be completely different.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your praise. Please wait a moment, and I will make a few special dishes for you to drink." Li Yang was happy. Li Mu praised him for four words, which was better than others' praise for him.
Lin Chen and Lin Ke were both stunned. Li Mu said such an ambiguous sentence that made chefs like Li Yang happy that way. To be precise, if Li Mu said it, it would be like saying nothing.
Improper, it sounds good, and it can be explained that the dish is perfect, but Improper can also be explained that although it is well-made, it has nothing new, and this cannot be regarded as an evaluation of the food at all.
Next, Li Yang quickly made a few dishes that were not on the menu, which should be all new dishes he developed himself. However, after receiving a review, Li Yang was satisfied and did not disturb Li Mu and the others for dinner.
"Li Mu, you really only came to Fumanlou for a meal once? Why did Chef Li Yang recognize you?" Lin Ke looked at Li Mu seriously at this time. A man who originally looked very ordinary now seems not so ordinary now.
"I really only came here for one meal. When Mr. Fu and I were having dinner, Li Yang was also present." Li Mu didn't want to say anything more, let alone say what kind of foodie he was, otherwise he would be upset if he really asked him to taste the food.
Seeing that Li Mu didn't want to say more, Lin Ke didn't ask more questions. He chatted with Zhou Qin, occasionally asking Li Mu a few words intentionally or unintentionally. Li Mu answered in a normal manner, and Lin Ke didn't ask anything, but he only knew that Li Mu opened a small security consulting company.
After they finished eating, when Lin Chen was about to check out, Li Yang and Sun Ling came over together. Sun Ling did not reach out to pick up Lin Chen's card, but just smiled and said, "Mr. Li came to our Fumanlou for dinner. If Mr. Fu knew that we still collected money, he would scold us miserably."
Lin Chen was stunned, but the bottle of wine exceeded 100,000. Fumanlou actually wanted to invite Li Mu to this meal. This is not just a matter of getting along.
Lin Ke and Zhou Qin also looked at Li Mu with some weirdness. This situation was just a meal that Li Mu told me, and it seemed that the difference was a bit far.
Although Lin Chen saved a lot of money, he felt very depressed. Not only did he lose face in front of Zhou Qin, he not only made Li Mu show his attention, but his goal has not yet been achieved.
"Mr. Li, I have two words to tell you. Don't you know if you are convenient?" Li Yang said to Li Mu.
Li Mu nodded and left the room with Li Yang.
Lin Ke called out Sun Ling, who was about to leave, and asked, "Manager Sun, don't know what the relationship between Li Mu and Fu Lao is? Why do you treat him so favorably?"
"Don't you know? Mr. Li is a top gourmet. The ingredients hanging in the lobby of our Fumanlou are dead. The plaque we call us was made by Mr. Fu based on what Mr. Li said at the time." Sun Ling looked at Lin Ke and the others strangely. They had dinner with Li Mu, so they should be friends, but they didn't know about Li Mu's things.
"Ah, Li Mu is the Chinese gourmet who was convinced by Qingjuro at the Shuishi Pavilion!" Lin Ke naturally heard the legend of the plaque, but he only knew that he was a Chinese gourmet, but his name was not very clear.
Lin Chen's face looked a little bad. He turned out to show off his taste in every aspect of life and then get Li Mu drunk. Unexpectedly, the other party was such a legendary gourmet. If he had known this, he wouldn't have shot himself in the foot like this.
Li Yang took Li Yang to another private room without anyone, took out an invitation and handed it to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, in some cases, a few chefs from our H-city city held an exchange and cooking party. At that time, the first-class chefs in H-city city will basically be present. If you have time, I hope you can attend."
Li Mu then asked for a post and said, "I stayed in H City for at most two or three days and will leave soon. I don't know if there is a chance to come to H City again. As long as I have time, I will definitely go."
Li Mu was just talking and did not intend to go. Although he could obtain at least three cursed power after completing Conan's mission, he could ask for a jewel to possess the lemon for another day, but wasting the two cursed power on such things was not in his interest, so Li Mu actually did not intend to attend the exchange and dish tasting meeting.
After chatting with Li Yang for a few days, Li Yang repeatedly invited Li Mu and told him to come if he had time.
Originally, Zhou Qin wanted to stay in the hotel she booked, but Lin Ke insisted that Zhou Qin and Li Mu stay at her house. Zhou Qin was pulled into the car by Lin Ke, so Li Mu had to follow her.
Zhou Qin and Lin Ke chatted very late, but when they were sleeping, they gave Zhou Qin and Li Mu a room. When Zhou Qin and his friends were at their age, their boyfriends and girlfriends went out to play together, so naturally there was no need to sleep in separate rooms. Unfortunately, Zhou Qin and Li Mu were not real boyfriends and girlfriends.
"Great Foodie, today I can only feel sorry for you to sleep on the floor." After closing the door, Zhou Qin carried the quilt to Li Mu.
In fact, the weather is not cold at all now, and it’s quite hot outside. Because there is air conditioning inside the house, it needs to be built with an air conditioning quilt. After the air conditioning is reduced, even if you sleep on the floor, you don’t need to cover it with a quilt.
"Can't you sleep in the bed?" Li Mu hugged the quilt and smiled bitterly.
