Chapter 225 (1/2)
”Now that you've figured it out, I have to make it clear to you. I can preside over the overall situation for Simon's family and protect you. But I also have my conditions. First of all, I represent the Great China Dynasty. If you ask me to protect you, it is equivalent to the Great China Dynasty protecting you. Therefore, it can be said that you are a special department of the Chinese Empire. Once we need your strength, you Ximen family must not refuse. ”
”Secondly, your Simon family's property is still managed by your Simon family, but you must pay 50% of the industrial tax every year.”
”Third, you can still enjoy some of the rights you should have. But if you break the law, you will be treated equally. ”
”Ximen family leader, if you agree, I can announce that your Ximen family is officially sheltered by Zhou Hao.”
It's not so easy to protect Zhou Hao.
Simon thought about it and agreed.
After all, it is acceptable to pay 50% of the annual industrial tax compared with being annexed by major families.
”Congratulations, Simon.”
Wu Hao said with a smile.
”But from today on, you have to restrain your family's children.”
”Thank Mr. Wu for reminding.” Simon answered without injury.
If you don't know, you think Ximen Wushang has a good relationship with Wu Hao.
Unexpectedly, the Ximen family became like this because of Wu Hao.
At this time, a stout chef in his 50s came out with several assistants carrying two dishes each.
This chef is the chef here, Wang Yu.
”Lao Zhou, you haven't come to eat my cooking for a while.” Cook Wang Yu put the dishes on the table and greeted Zhou Hao.
”I can't help it. I'm too busy these days.” Zhou Hao was helpless.
”Then eat more today, and two children will try more.” Wang Yu directly ignored Ximen without injury.
With that, Wang Yu turned and left.
”Brother, we have a blessing in the mouth today. This is a dish cooked by the kitchen god Wang himself.”
Zheng Hai has heard of Wang Yu's name.
”Yes, Xiao Wu eats more. Lao Wang's craftsmanship is very good.” Zhou Hao also said with a smile.
Wu Hao looked at the ten that were brought to the table.
They are boiled cabbage, lion head, kung pao chicken, squirrel mandarin fish, Wensi tofu, Buddha jumping over the wall, Beijing roast duck, Dongpo meat, white cut chicken and fish flavored shredded meat.
These ten dishes are the most famous ten dishes at the state banquet.
Every dish needs very strong skills to be made.
Especially boiled cabbage.
The ”boiled water” in boiled cabbage is not real boiled water, but the chicken soup carefully cooked through multiple complex processes. It is boiled until the soup tastes strong and the color is clear, and then the tenderest heart of cabbage is selected for cooking. At first glance, it looks very common, but it is fresh and delicious in the mouth.
Wu Hao took a piece of cabbage and ate it in his mouth.
He nodded quickly.
The Chinese cabbage is fresh and elegant, with strong aroma and strong soup flavor. It is not greasy and soft.
Wang Yu really can be called the kitchen god. Even if Wu Hao did it himself, he can only do it to this extent.
”Well, it's delicious.” Zhou Hao looked at Wu Hao and said.
”Chef Wang's craftsmanship is really strong. The heat of the 'clear soup' is just grasped. The freshness, fragrance and consistency are completely integrated into the clear soup. It's amazing. I believe we can't find a cook better than him in the great Chinese dynasty. ” Wu Hao nodded.
