Chapter 231: Hospitality for Both Host and Guest
Chu Heng had been looking at Ye Muyu several times already.
Ye Muyu felt a bit puzzled, wondering who this person was and what he was up to.
Indeed, Ye Muyu had always found Chu Heng's thoughts deep and difficult to fathom. His emotions frequently fluctuated, so she had become wise in directly addressing his good and bad moods.
When he was in a bad mood, she would just ask directly, resolve the issue, and he couldn't stay angry.
As for when he was in a good mood, that was even better. She didn't need to pay any attention to him.
The meal was enjoyed by both hosts and guests. Putting down his chopsticks, Xie Yu looked regretfully at the remaining dishes on the table. If his stomach could handle more, he would have loved to eat a few more bites.
He couldn't help but praise "Madam's culinary skills are truly admirable. I wonder why there's doubanjiang in this twice-cooked pork?" After finishing his meal, Xie Yu began to inquire about the cooking process. He didn't plan to sell it, just hoping the chef in his mansion could learn it.
He didn't want to eat just one meal and then be tormented by cravings afterward, that would be miserable.
"This dish uses doubanjiang made by my maiden family, a type of pickled vegetable. Adding it unexpectedly enhances the flavor of the meat." Ye Muyu patiently replied. These dishes were not secrets, as many restaurants in the county served them. It was just that her version tasted better due to her excellent culinary skills.
Concerning the details, she willingly explained them. After all, she considered it a good thing for the Xie family. As for how the Xie family's chef would cook these dishes, it was not her concern.
Ye Muyu also could tell something about Xie Yu's character. If he was truly interested in personal gain, he wouldn't hesitate to use Chu Heng's identity for his own benefit. Such a person would be easy to handle, just stop cooperating with them.
However, Ye Muyu actually had a favorable impression of Xie Yu. He was wealthy but not arrogant, a quality not found in every young master from a prestigious family. Therefore, she genuinely hoped Xie Yu wouldn't disappoint her and they could continue to collaborate in the future.
"Doubanjiang? Is it similar to that sour cabbage?" Xie Yu wasn't surprised at all, having expected this. He even expressed a willingness to buy doubanjiang from Ye Muyu. "Madam, could you sell me some doubanjiang? Rest assured, it's only for personal consumption, not in large quantities." Xie Yu assured her.
Hearing this, Ye Muyu suddenly felt like Xie Yu might have misunderstood something. She initially suggested doubanjiang to see if there was a market for it.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yu thought doubanjiang was difficult to make or scarce in quantity.
Ye Muyu chuckled, "Young Master Xie, let me be honest. This doubanjiang is made by my maiden family and doesn't cost much. It's just that I found it enhances the flavor when stir-frying with it, making it appear precious."
"After this, I plan to sell this doubanjiang. If Young Master Xie likes it, you can send someone to buy it."
"Really? That's great." Xie Yu was satisfied. Although the Xie family had many shops, he had recently cooperated with Chu Heng in opening a pastry shop. However, considering his scholarly background, he wasn't well-versed in business matters.
If it were the Eldest or Second Young Master of the Xie family, they might truly only focus on profits and losses.
"That roast duck..." Xie Yu asked about each dish.
Ye Muyu explained them one by one.
By the end, Xie Yu felt somewhat embarrassed by Ye Muyu's generosity. He felt like he had taken great advantage of the Chu family.
