30 Glitter Birthday Banquet
Two days later, Qiu Ge and Lu Di set off with Yu Chao and Chen Xiaobo, as well as some ingredients, with a nervous mood; Liu Zheng did not find other personnel, so he let Qiu Ge solve the problem.
The meal at noon the day before yesterday was indeed the best mountain meal that Qiu Ge had ever eaten, and it was also recognized by others; Du Zhe and Du Yue, who had just returned from vacation, were all overwhelmed.
However, Qiu Ge and Lu Di still have no bottom in their hearts, because everyone's tastes are different, and those who attend the birthday banquet are already eating their mouths, and it is difficult for them to be satisfied.
In addition, this time it was Chen Xiaobo and Yu Chao, both of whom were only twenty-three years old and inexperienced, so it was really worrying whether they could make a good meal for this banquet.
Qiu Ge wanted to invite Chen Yongxiang and Li Fengzhen to come together, but they just didn't agree, so they only let their granddaughter come with them; but they were confident, but they might not understand Qiu Ge and Lu Di's worries.
Yu Chao is still on probation, so he asked for leave from the judicial office, and of course it was Li Weiguo's help, and he was very familiar with the staff in the town.
This time, Yu Chao was in charge, while Chen Xiaobo was in charge, and the two of them worked together to complete the dishes and main dishes of the banquet, Qiu Ge and Lu Di were there to witness success or failure, and of course, if they failed, they would be responsible for the aftermath.
The birthday party was held in a villa in the suburbs, and Liu Zheng brought them over.
"Big brother, I'll ask you for this kitchen matter, if you lack anything, just say, I'll prepare, after the matter is over, I thank a few of the best restaurants in the provincial capital." ”
"Don't worry, brother, we won't put you to shame. Qiu Ge gritted his back molars and said, he is holding it up.
This is also no way, since it is here, it can't change this matter, so it's better to keep the pressure on yourself, don't let Liu Zheng worry, even if it's messed up, you can make him worry less for a while.
Liu Zheng went out to receive the guests, Qiu Ge and Lu Di helped Yu Chao and Chen Xiaobo prepare the ingredients, Yu Chao came to command, and everyone completed various operations according to his requirements.
Of course, Qiu Ge can only wash vegetables and brush dishes, and he can't do other things well;
Yu Chao and Chen Xiaobo were also very nervous at first, but after the real operation began, the two of them really calmed down and began to complete each process in an orderly manner.
Liu Zheng set the time of serving the food at 11:40, because they were going to celebrate their birthday together at the auspicious time of 11:58, so Qiu Ge and they had to serve the food at 11:30.
In fact, they have already prepared some cold dishes when they are at home, so they come here to change the knives and yard plates, but the hot dishes and soups have to be freshly cooked, so they are also very busy.
However, Yu Chao is really very experienced, dividing each dish into before and after, and knowing exactly when they are ready, so that he knows when to start stir-frying.
It was precisely this accurate estimate that they really started to officially serve the food at half past eleven, and of course the person who served the food on the plate was the waiter Liu Zheng found in the restaurant.
After the dishes were all taken out, the hearts of Qiu Ge and the four of them also hung up, and this time was the real beginning of the test.
The four of them were a little at a loss, and they didn't know what the outcome would be, so they were all restless, and they all walked back and forth in the kitchen, but fortunately, the kitchen in this villa was big enough not to collide with each other.
"I said, why are you still here? The banquet has begun, are you seated?" Liu Zheng's girlfriend Jin Ling ran into the kitchen and said eagerly.
Liu Zheng reserved a place for Qiu Ge and the four of them, not only treating them as helpers, but also as invited guests.
"Oh, no, we still haven't finished preparing the staple food, don't wait for us. Lu Di said.
In fact, they didn't dare to go over, in case they messed up, those people said it wasn't delicious, so where did Qiu Ge and the others put their faces?
"Then you don't have to be here, Brother Qiu Ge and Lu Di you two go first, just let the two little brothers and little sisters prepare, right?"
"Second brother, go ahead, Sister Xiaobo and I can prepare. Yu Chao was very real, and pushed Qiu Ge and Lu Di out.
"Okay, let's go first, you guys get the dumplings ready, and then come over too. Qiu Ge had no choice but to bite the bullet again.
When they came over, it was the climax of the birthday celebration, so no one noticed that they were late, Jin Ling set them up, and went to the main table in front, where Liu Zhengzheng served, she also went to help.
Qiu Ge and Lu Di also followed the cup to celebrate their birthday, and then sat down to eat and drink with everyone as if they were nothing, but their ears were all standing, and they were always listening to what the people around them were saying, of course, mainly listening to everyone's evaluation of the dishes.
Sure enough, not long after the meal began, someone spoke: "Oh, have you noticed? Today's meal is very special, it is all wild vegetables, mushrooms, and the like." ”
"Yes, it tastes good, and it tastes more intimate than the restaurant. ”
"It seems like a normal recipe, but it's better than making it myself. ”
......
After Qiu Ge and Lu Di heard these words, they thanked and comforted them a little in their hearts, so they also used chopsticks to eat;
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and they both smiled, feeling a little proud.
"I said, you two are still eating here, come with me, I can't handle it. Liu Zheng suddenly appeared behind them, patted Qiu Ge and Lu Di on the shoulders and said.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Qiu Ge was shocked, could it be that the food was not in line with the taste of those important people?
"That's it, what's wrong?" was the same as Qiu Ge's thoughts.
"Come with me, and you'll know when you go, you've all made it up. After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Qiu Ge and Lu Di hurriedly got up to follow, but both of them were very apprehensive in their hearts, and they glanced at each other, both wanting to get an explanation from the other party, but they both shook their heads.
In front of everyone, he couldn't catch Liu Zheng and ask for understanding, so he could only follow him all the way to the main table. This table was filled with Liu Zheng's father's leaders and colleagues, as well as important guests.
"Uncles, let me introduce you, these two are my friends, they have come from the woods, and the dishes we are eating are brought by them and two other people. Liu Zheng said to the people at the table.
"Ouch, so young, isn't it, can you make this mountain treasure taste like this at such a young age?" questioned the old man at the guest of honor, who thought it was a crane-haired child.
Qiu Ge heard from his words that the dishes they made should have been recognized, which made him feel overjoyed, so he hurriedly said: "You are right, this meal is indeed not made by us, we are just the preparers of the ingredients, and the one who is really in charge is ...... Oh, it's the two of them. ”
Qiu Ge turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen and found that Yu Chao and Chen Xiaobo were walking over with dumplings and waiters, and Jin Ling was also in the team, it seemed that she had called Yu Chao and Chen Xiaobo.
Soon Yu Chao and Chen Xiaobo came over, put the four plates of dumplings in the hands of the two of them on the table, and then came to Qiu Ge and Lu Di.
"Young man, are you joking with us? I said that you are too young to make such a good mountain dish, so you have found me two younger ones?"
"Old man, I'm really not joking with you, these dishes at today's banquet are indeed made by them, Liu Zheng and Jin Ling can testify, oh, by the way, these waiters and ladies can also testify. ”
"Haha, I've seen a lot today, well, let me ask you two little chefs, this pine nut belly tastes very good, but it's different from what I eat elsewhere, can you tell me how to make it?"
Qiu Ge and Lu Di can't say why, they can only let Yu Chao and Chen Xiaobo say it, but in such an occasion, the pretreatment can be stage fright, he lowered his head, his face turned red, and he couldn't say a word, making Qiu Ge, Lu Di, and Liu Zheng on the side anxious.
"This pine nut belly is really different from other places, we put not only the traditional pine nuts in it, but also some hazelnuts and mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, and our secret ingredients, so the effect is different. Chen Xiaobo saw that Yu Chao couldn't say it, so she introduced it, this girl's personality is still very cheerful and generous.
"Yo, what you say is the truth, then let me ask you again, how does this stewed pork heart with schisandra taste different from other places?" the old man asked again.
"First of all, do you want to say that we are not good at doing this?" Chen Xiaobo asked playfully.
"It's delicious, I'll admit it, and I'll tell you that I've tasted pork heart like this before, but that was thirty years ago, but I remember it vividly. ”
"The most difficult thing to grasp when to make this dish is when to add honey, and if others don't dare to put honey in it, I will put it in it, so the taste is more fragrant than others, and it is more nutritious. ”
"Yes, it was Honey who asked, I had been thinking about it for a long time, and I woke up when she said this. Liu Zheng's father said to the old man at the guest of honor.
"Looks like they really made this dish, and I'm really surprised. The old man nodded.
"Uncle Zhou, it is indeed made by them, you and everyone should try these four plates of dumplings, they are all stuffed with wild vegetables, see if you can eat them." Liu Zheng said.
"Oh, let's try it. The people at the table began to taste.
At this time, Qiu Ge and Lu Di were so excited, although everyone praised them not for them, but for Yu Chao and Chen Xiaobo, but to be able to complete the task of this banquet, this is worth being happy, and what is even more happy is that they have also picked up treasures, with such popular dishes, it is not worrying about finding guests.
"Okay, this is the willow artemisia sprout filling, and the other plate is the yuan mushroom filling, quickly turn the other two plates, and I'll taste them too." The old man at the guest of honor said excitedly.
"Those two plates are also very good, Brother Zhou, try it, hehe. Liu Zheng's father said with a smile.
"Really, I'll eat two more, and I'm going to eat enough today. The old man ate two kinds of dumplings, but he didn't stop, then ate two more, and then said: "Oh, it's so fragrant, this is made by my mother-in-law, and that plate is made of camelina vegetables, I haven't eaten such authentic dumplings made of wild vegetables for many years." ”
"Uncle Zhou, there are still drinks here, you have a drink. Liu Zheng hurriedly brought a drink.
"I don't dare to drink because the sugar is too high, and besides, I'm too full to drink. ”
"If you don't drink this drink, you'll lose it, and they brought it. Liu Zheng looked back at Qiu Ge and them, and introduced.
"Sir, this drink is made from Yamanashi, with no added sugar. Lu Di said.
"Then I'll have a drink. The old man took it, took a small sip, swallowed it, and then took a big gulp.
Liu Zheng's father immediately urged when he saw it: "Hurry up and pour me a glass, what are you waiting for?"
