Chapter 219: Su Ji a Hundred Years Ago (First Update)

After some introduction, everyone is naturally looking forward to what kind of dishes Feng Yifan, who is known as the head of a century-old restaurant, can make?

Although there are three tables of customers in the restaurant, and they have a lot of dishes on the table, they have already passed the pass.

Li Fei'er didn't make it difficult, but just said to Feng Yifan: "Chef Feng, we still hope to take a complete picture of you, or this Su Ji's specialty dish, can you make one for us?"

Speaking of this, Li Fei'er looked at the guests who came to celebrate the old man's birthday and said, "In this way, in order not to waste it, we ask you to make a special one for the old birthday star at that table, is it okay?"

Hearing this, the old man at the table stood up and said, "Oh, that's embarrassing." ”

Li Fei'er smiled and said: "Old man, don't be polite, this is our program team catching up, and it is also your birthday here before the transformation of this street, and we will celebrate your birthday together." ”

Li Fei'er's proposal naturally won the approval of many people present.

Especially the young guests at that table, as well as some young people from the TV station, thought it was a good idea.

Feng Yifan said this in the face of Li Fei'er, but did not agree immediately, but was thinking about what kind of dish he should cook?

Li Fei'er saw that Feng Yifan was silent, and then said: "Chef Feng doesn't have to be embarrassed, you only need to make a dish on the menu, we don't mean to make things difficult for you." ”

Feng Yifan thought about it seriously, raised his head and looked at the old man and said, "Old Yan, you don't have to be polite, since everyone has said it, then I naturally want to give you this dish for longevity, I don't know what Old Yan wants to eat?"

The old man who was a longevity man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Feng Yifan's very serious appearance, and he didn't know what to say for a while?

Feng Yifan saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, and smiled again and said, "Old Yan, don't be so nervous, just say what you want to eat, as long as Su Ji has it, I will definitely make it for you." ”

Being said like this, Yan Lao, who was a longevity, finally spoke: "Well, when I was young, I once ate a lion's head corresponding to the four seasons in Suji, and it is still unforgettable." ”

Hearing this, Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll do it for you once." ”

Hearing about this "Four Seasons Lion Head", in fact, many people present still don't quite understand, after all, everyone is not as knowledgeable as Su Lanxin.

The young guests at the table couldn't help but ask, "Boss, is this lion's head also divided into four seasons?"

Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, in the past, different ingredients would be added to the lion's head throughout the year, and then four different cooking techniques would be used to make it. ”

Hearing this, not to mention the young people at the table, the other people present were also extremely curious.

Seeing that everyone was very curious, Feng Yifan also faced the camera of the TV station and made a serious introduction.

"The four seasons of lion's head are made in four different cooking methods: braised in spring, steamed in summer, stewed in autumn, and stewed in winter, and should be matched with seasonal ingredients, the most typical is the stewed lion's head with crab roe in autumn. ”

Hearing this, everyone naturally exclaimed one by one, they didn't expect the lion's head to be so exquisite.

Some young people even sighed: "It turns out that crab roe lion head is not eaten all year round?"

Feng Yifan said with a smile: "Now it is natural to eat all year round, in the past, the ingredients were limited by geography and season, how could it be possible to eat crab roe all year round?"

When Su Lanxin came before, she had introduced it to two people from the catering association.

However, at that time, it was just a few of them chatting privately, and neither Su Lanxin nor the two members of the restaurant association made it public afterwards.

Su Lanxin didn't make it public that time because her apprentice hadn't compared, and he was already a complete defeat.

The two members of the restaurant association may still be thinking about what choice to make between Su Ji and Su Lanxin these days. So the statement of the four seasons lion's head that time was not known by many people.

Today is different, Feng Yifan made it public in front of the TV program, which can be regarded as making the essence of this dish public.

It also made many people know for the first time that they had eaten the lion's head for so many years, and they didn't understand it at all.

Yan Lao, who was doing longevity, couldn't help but ask again: "Chef Feng, then what ingredients are used to match the lion's head in these four seasons, except for the crab roe in autumn?"

Feng Yifan didn't hide it, and replied with a smile: "In fact, there will be differences in the ingredients used, in the past, it was generally 'braised river mussels in spring, steamed lotus leaves in summer, stewed crab roe in autumn, and braised chicken in winter'."

Of course, there are also seasonal fresh vegetables from all seasons, such as spring bamboo shoots in spring, lotus root in summer, mushrooms in autumn, and winter bamboo shoots in winter. ”

After listening to Feng Yifan's introduction, everyone really felt that they had benefited a lot, and there was a feeling that they had suddenly added a lot of knowledge points.

Li Fei'er opened her mouth at this time and asked, "Chef Feng, what kind of four-season lion head are you going to make for the old man who is going to do longevity today?"

Feng Yifan suddenly felt that Li Fei'er cooperated well with him. She had obviously been to Su Ji a few times, and knew that Feng Yifan must have a little bit of unusual innovation.

With a smile on his face, Feng Yifan said to everyone and the camera: "What I made for Yan Lao today is also a lion head with four methods, but it is different. ”

Feng Yifan said this, so that everyone suddenly looked forward to it, and wanted to see what Feng Yifan's "summer four products" would look like?

Li Fei'er then asked, "Then, can Chef Feng reveal it?"

Feng Yifan shook his head: "Don't say it for the time being, it's not interesting to say it, when you wait for Yan Lao to eat, you can let Yan Lao tell me which ingredients I used." ”

Hearing this, the old man over there smiled and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it." ”

Everyone else in the restaurant was looking forward to it.

Before Feng Yifan turned to leave, he said to Li Fei'er and them: "This dish may take some time, or you can go and interview other people on the old street first, and then come back in about an hour." ”

A young man on the TV station suddenly exclaimed, "What? Is it going to take an hour?"

And in the middle-aged table in the restaurant, a middle-aged man said: "Is an hour still a long time? You must know that a good lion's head, just the soup needs to be boiled for a long time, and the lion's head meat is finely chopped and coarsely chopped, all of which are kung fu." ”

Elder Yan also said at this time: "For an hour, my old man must wait." ”

Naturally, the children who came to the table to make the old man's birthday also said that they wanted to wait together, especially the grandchildren of the old man, who also said that they must take a look.

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Thank you for your willingness to wait, then I'll go to the back kitchen and start, see you in an hour." ”

After saying that, Feng Yifan also walked towards the back kitchen.

Li Fei'er and her colleagues on the TV station looked at each other, and then she still said, "Otherwise, you can go out for a stroll and take some street scenes of the night market?" ”

Colleagues were a little strange at first, why did Li Fei'er stay and wait?

But soon saw that Li Fei'er's daughter came over, and she immediately understood that she wanted to stay with her daughter.

Some people on the TV station felt that it was a bit impatient to wait like this, so most of them went out to shoot the scenery of the Lao Cai Night Market outside.

When Yang Xiaoxi saw that her mother stayed, she naturally smiled and pulled her mother to the children's side, and there were Feng Ruoruo's mother, grandmother and grandfather, as well as Chen Yaofei's grandparents.

Li Fei'er smiled and said to Su Jinrong, "Uncle Rong, it may still be a little difficult for Chef Feng today. ”

Su Jinrong shook his head and said, "It's okay, he can." ”

Feng Ruoruo also said: "Yes, my father can definitely do it." ”

Yang Xiaoxi immediately cheered for his good friend: "Of course you can, Uncle Feng is the best." ”

Chen Yaofei also followed: "Yes, Uncle Feng is the most powerful. ”

Li Fei'er saw the three little girls coaxing, and said with a smile: "You three little girls, naturally think that Ruoruo's father is powerful, because you eat Ruoruo's father's delicious snacks every day." ”

The three little girls "giggled" together.

Next, Li Fei'er chatted with Su Jinrong a little more and learned more about Su Ji's inheritance from him.

Su Jinrong has no big problem speaking now, but he will narrate more slowly, but he just has more time now.

Regarding the inheritance of Su Ji, Su Jinrong did not hide anything, and directly told some things in the past.

Although the photographer is not there now, Li Feier still listens carefully and records some important details.

This kind of chat-style interview makes everyone more relaxed, and Su Jinrong's narration, everyone else in the restaurant also thinks that they are listening to the story, and they listen to it with relish unconsciously.

Su Ji's earliest ancestor was also a cook in the palace, but what is more special is that the ancestor of the Su family was recruited into the palace halfway.

The ancestor of the Su family was originally the private chef of a certain official's mansion in Jiangnan, and once met the emperor at that time to inspect Jiangnan, and happened to live in the mansion of that Jiangnan official.

In order to curry favor with the emperor, officials naturally provided the best food and clothing.

At that time, Su Jiazu was in the back kitchen and presented the emperor with a very amazing cherry meat.

The cherry meat offered by the ancestors of the Su family is different from many people at that time, the taste is soft and glutinous, not very sweet and greasy, and there is a trace of slight sourness mixed with it to enhance the taste.

At that time, the emperor was very happy when he ate it, and even summoned the cook, and gave him a great reward.

When the emperor finished his inspection in Jiangnan and returned, he brought the ancestor of the Su family back to the capital.

Speaking of which, everyone in the restaurant listened with relish, and everyone was even more surprised by such a legend.

Su Jinrong said this, and deliberately paused.

Grandpa Chen Yaofei interjected and said, "This can be regarded as a steady progress." ”

After hearing this, Su Jinrong smiled and shook his head: "Brother Chen, I went to the capital, but it wasn't that I was on the rise. ”

Hearing such a turn of events really makes everyone look forward to it. Obviously, he has won the emperor's appreciation and brought people back to the capital, why is it said that he is not on the rise?

Then Su Jinrong continued.

It turned out that after the Su family ancestor was placed in the capital at that time, because there was no suitable place to place, and the royal kitchen at that time had a fixed family, so the Su family ancestor went to a foreign cook, and there was no place in the palace dining room at all.

And after the emperor brought people back, he did not let the ancestor of the Su family enter the imperial dining room, but arranged for him to live outside the palace.

Su Jinrong said indifferently: "The emperor asked for something, and ordered someone to recruit him into the palace, serve the banquet, and send him out of the palace after receiving the reward." ”

Hearing this, the restaurant was silent, and everyone was very surprised to be treated with such a strange relationship.

A cook who was so loved by the emperor was not arranged to be an errand in the imperial dining room, and he didn't even say that he would reward a more prominent official, was this how he used it, and was sent out of the palace if he didn't need it?

Su Jinrong continued slowly.

In fact, the process is still relatively bland, that is, when some grand banquets are held in the palace, the ancestors of the Su family will be specially summoned into the palace.

Even, the ancestor of the Su family personally served as the chef of the highest standard "Qiansu Banquet" at that time.

Hearing this, it really made many people feel excited.

Everyone didn't expect that the ancestors of the Su family would have such glory.

But after saying this paragraph, Su Jinrong said calmly: "Don't be excited, that paragraph is an ancestral rumor, there is a joke, and the Su family has no evidence." ”

Hearing Su Jinrong say this, Li Fei'er said: "Uncle Rong, you can't say that, maybe there is something to do? Besides, the age is indeed a little longer, and if there is no evidence, we will treat it as a story." ”

Su Jinrong smiled and nodded: "Yes, everyone, be a story." ”

After talking about the true and false ancestral stories, Su Jinrong talked about the real first generation of Su Ji, that is, the one who founded Su Ji.

In the first generation, Su Kee was just a street snack shop, which was actually just to make ends meet.

Su Jinrong smiled and said: "I heard my father say that at that time, Su Ji made breakfast, noon, and dinner, and three meals, which was quite hard, but he insisted on craftsmanship and quality. ”

After the efforts of the first two generations, Su Ji really began to rise to the third generation, that is, Su Jinrong's grandfather's generation.

Su Jinrong's grandfather was a restless person when he was young, he liked to travel south and north to see, and he did make some fame outside.

Later, he participated in the top cooking competition in China at that time, successfully won the grand prize, and was selected into the chef team of the state banquet.

That was the first person in charge of Su Ji to participate in the state banquet.

It's just that Su Jinrong's grandfather was very old when he participated in the state banquet, and later passed on the craft to Su Jinrong's father and died soon after, which did not really bring great glory to Su Ji.

What really made Su Ji rise and brought great glory was Su Jinrong's father.

It can be said that without the help of his parents, he relied on his own efforts to break into the hall at a very young age and was successfully selected for the state banquet chef group.

In the past, including Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi, they only knew that their grandfather had participated in the state banquet.

But today Su Jinrong said: "My father participated in the state banquet more than once, and the last time was the head chef." ”

Su Ruoxi also heard her father talk about these things for the first time, which made Su Ruoxi understand, why some of her grandfather's experiences seemed to be a little bit wrong?

It turned out that my grandfather participated in the state banquet more than once, and he was also promoted step by step in the state banquet chef group.

This is a good explanation for why the uncle from the dealer will have such reverence for his grandfather.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, it's like Zhuang Daozhong himself said that he is the apprentice of the old man of the Su family. However, because of their participation in the state banquet together, the old man of the Su family did not regard him as a master and apprentice, but regarded the two as colleagues.

Listening to Su Jinrong recount the ups and downs of Su Kee, everyone in the restaurant seems to be immersed in the past scenes.

I really can't help but be in awe of Su Ji, and everyone is looking forward to it more and more, what kind of lion head will Feng Yifan, as the sixth generation of the director, present?
