Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Meal Preparation

Cheng Su decided to host the dinner at her own restaurant, admittedly with her own ulterior motives in mind.

It wasn’t about saving money, as she had already planned to foot the bill for the event regardless of its location. The thought of holding the dinner in her restaurant was entirely about seizing the opportunity to drum up publicity for the place.

After all, one guest was the county head and the other a school principal, naturally holding higher status than the otherwise insignificant Cheng Su. If they had a meal at the restaurant and endorsed its offerings, then there would be chances to host such esteemed guests again in the future.

Once the precedent was set, there would be a second time, and that’s how opportunities unfold.

Therefore, this time, she had to pull out all the stops.

Cheng Su had inquired in advance about the two dignitaries’ preferences and dietary restrictions and then settled the menu with Old Song.

Old Song, upon learning that the incoming guests were the county head and the principal, was equally surprised and agreed with Cheng Su that this was an excellent opportunity to promote the restaurant.

Together, they meticulously crafted a menu that catered to the guests’ tastes and taboos. Cheng Su herself also concocted a dessert.

On the day of the dinner, Cheng Su told Taiguo that she’d be home late because of a dinner event at the restaurant and that he should take care of his own dinner at the canteen.

As soon as the lunch rush was over, all the restaurant staff, having had their own lunch, immediately got busy preparing for the dinner event.

They had to set up the venue, give it a thorough cleaning, and prepare the ingredients. Cheng Su took Song Xiaojang shopping for the best ingredients and handed them over to Old Song. Meanwhile, she started making the dessert and directed He Yue and Qiulan to arrange the dining table.

But the work didn’t stop there. Once the venue was set up, she joined Old Song in the kitchen to cook the evening’s dishes.

She realized that Old Song was truly an exceptional and born chef; thanks to his expertise, his insights into culinary matters surpassed her own, which were acquired halfway through her life. Moreover, he was generous in sharing his knowledge.
