Chapter 077: The Nature of Food

Boss Xu's heart was full of emotion.

I really didn't expect that the old man would go to station B to pay attention to himself.

And not only pay attention, but also answer questions to become a full member, and send barrage comments to yourself.

It's simply ......

His B station account was given by Yu Keke, and I really didn't know that there was such a thing as answering questions and turning them into regulars.

However, Boss Xu has been messing around at Station B for so many days.

It's all clear about the barrage and whatever, and even some black code words are well known.

Isn't it just a two-dimensional related topic?

It's drizzling!

He opened the first question nonchalantly, read the question, and then looked at the four answers to ABCD.

Emmmmmm......

Is it so complicated?

He already regarded himself as a member of the second dimension.

As a result, a question knocked him back to his original form.

The old man saw Boss Xu's embarrassment, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Boss Xu naturally wouldn't admit it: "No, it's the title that has changed, when I opened a membership before, it wasn't so troublesome." ”

He saw that there was an option below to bypass the answer with the invitation code, and he suddenly came to his senses.

Holding his mobile phone, he sent a WeChat message to Yu Keke.

"Find me an invitation code for station B, there is a red envelope. ”

As a result, she waited for several minutes and didn't reply.

Only then did he remember that Yu Keke should pick up Yu Peiyong at the high-speed rail station now, and he probably didn't have time to look at his phone.

Flipping through the address book, Xu Zhuo found Zhou Wen.

This big beauty has been mixed up at station B all year round, and there should also be an invitation code.

sent a message to Zhou Wen.

"Big beauty, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, hurry up and find me an invitation code for station B, there is a red envelope!"

Soon, Zhou Wen sent the invitation code.

By the way, a message was also sent.

"The red envelope is free, what kind of food is cooked in the store at night? There is nothing to do tonight, I want to go to eat." ”

Since the last time she ate fish in the store, Zhou Wen would go to eat a meal when she was fine.

Of course, it's not in vain.

Every time I go to eat, I will advertise to Boss Xu at station B.

Many people at station B have heard of the name of the Four Directions Pavilion.

But tonight, her plan to eat is doomed to fail.

Because Boss Xu is eating in the provincial capital at this time.

After explaining the reason to Zhou Wen, Xu Zhuo took the old man's mobile phone and entered the invitation code, and the old man finally became an official member.

opened a video casually, and Xu Zhuo tried to post a scrolling barrage on the video.

It really worked.

But it doesn't seem like I can comment yet.

Boss Xu helped the old man bind his mobile phone number and email number, and did real-name authentication.

Only then did he return the phone to him: "Okay, you can send a barrage, but you can't comment yet, and you can't wait until after the second level." ”

The old man opened his phone and looked at it, then stuffed it into his pocket.

Wei Junming was reporting to him about Xu Zhuo's basic knife practice, and the old man listened very carefully.

Hearing that Xu Zhuo's kung fu is good, the old man glanced at Xu Zhuo with some surprise.

"It seems that I have worked hard lately, Xiao Zhuo, don't you hate this line of work now?"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "I actually don't hate it all the time, but if you want to say how much interest you have, I really don't, I just regard this business as a business." ”

"However, I didn't feel any inheritance, culture, art. The only feeling is that I am really tired when there are more guests. ”

The old man took a sip of tea and smiled at Wei Junming.

"Xiao Zhuo, the things you said about inheriting culture and art are all the things that those boring literati have pondered by themselves, it's okay to bluff outsiders, but we can't take our business seriously. ”

"When you enter this industry, you must throw away the symbols on the surface and pursue the essence of food. What is the essence of food? It is delicious!"

"All the selection of materials, knife work, techniques, heat, seasoning, and plating are all in the service of this goal. If it's not delicious, no matter how artistic you are, no matter how cultured you are, it's!"

"In addition, the chef has to make a living from cooking. Only then will you consider the customer's feelings and start from the customer's point of view. ”

"If you're really interested and obsessed, that's not good, because you're going to become stubborn, you can't listen to any opinions, and you're going to take it for granted that you're going to put your demands on the customer. ”

"For example, those so-called gourmets spend their days thinking about innovation and blindly pursuing new dishes. Others say that it is not delicious when they eat it, and it is strange that people do not know how to appreciate and taste. ”

"So, don't think of yourself as a foodie, at least you have to be honest as a cook when you can't let others compliment you on how good you cook. ”

The old man's phone call made Xu Zhuo feel empowered.

In the past, he always felt that those cultural arts were all boasted by chefs, which caused him to be a little disgusted.

But I also understand that it's all for publicity.

A few years ago, when the old man was interviewed by reporters, he also talked about culture and art, and he talked about what allusions and inheritances he had in each dish.

Now that the old man said this, Xu Zhuo understood.

All the food, just delicious.

Because it's delicious, people will attach some cultural and artistic things to it.

But it's definitely not because of these additional cultures and arts that this dish is delicious.

"Ding, the host listens to the master's teachings, understands the true meaning of food, and rewards special skills - dish matching, congratulations to the host. ”

Dish pairing?

What kind of skill is this?

And it's a special skill.

Xu Zhuo entered the panel and clicked on this skill bar to see what this skill was.

【Menu Pairing】

All dishes need to have main dishes and side dishes, and a reasonable combination will not only make the dishes more nutritious, but also make the color pleasing to the eye and the taste layered.

This skill has an effect on all dishes, and the host can explore it on its own.

After reading it, Xu Zhuo finally didn't have to worry about overturning the car in the future.

But even if he doesn't have this skill, Boss Xu won't make god-level dishes such as stir-fried strawberries with celery, stir-fried oranges with green vegetables, braised glutinous rice balls, stir-fried crispy corners, and fried mooncakes with tomatoes.

He was really curious about what kind of magical place the university cafeteria was to make such earth-shattering dishes.

When he was in a trance, the old man touched him.

"Let's go, your grandmother is here, and you two go to the kitchen to make a specialty dish for her to taste. ”

Xu Zhuo was stunned: "What about you, you don't cook?"

Today, Boss Xu came to taste the old man's craftsmanship.

If he doesn't cook, there's nothing to look forward to.

The old man's face was sweet: "Your grandmother is tired of the dishes I cooked, today you two came over just to let her change her taste, let's go, I will also go down and pick up your grandma at the door." ”

Gee......

In the afternoon, Boss Xu was just stabbed by a pair of unscrupulous parents who ran abroad.

Now when I came to the provincial capital to eat, I was sprinkled with dog food by the old man.

Emmmmmm......

It's good for you to be happy.

Don't think about my feelings.
