Avril came and went faster.

After a good night's sleep, she opened her eyes and received the news that she had already cleaned up her disobedient followers in Austria.

Qiao Zhi felt a lot of emotion after watching Avril Lavigne clean up Fabregas's wrist.

First, don't sit in the well and watch the sky, there are many people in this world who are good at digging pits, and you still have to have a few more eyes to do things in the future, so as not to be accidentally sold, and help others count money.

Second, just because Avril gave herself three points of shares in the island company, don't be grateful to Dade and let your guard down. A vixen is a vixen, and if you're not careful, you might end up worse than Cesc Fabregas.

Avril is also a ruthless person who has revenge, and the last time she brushed shoulders with death, it was only a few months, and she weaved a big net against Fabregas, which was cleverly concealed and unguardable.

It can only be said that Avril and Qiao Zhi are really "Silver Dao" people.

After seeing Avril's wrist, Qiao Zhi decided to be more low-key and cautious, maintain a modest style, and have his own strong hands, not sit in the well and watch the sky, and not be blindly arrogant.

At the same time, Qiao Zhi was also very glad that he did not agree to be the dog leg of the Wallis family.

Surrogates are just a nice way to say doglegs.

When someone else's watchdog, of course, you can rely on the owner's alms to grow fat and strong, but one day the owner is unhappy, it is difficult to ensure that it becomes a full dog meat hot pot.

Of course, it is enough to keep your distance and vigilance from Avril, and there is no need to stay away from her.

Qiao Zhi treats Avril as a partner, and in the island plan, he still needs to rely on the connections and resources of the Wallis family.

After washing, I received a phone call, Xu Hexiang was going to take Newman to Yanying Canteen later, Newman originally planned to leave Huaxia yesterday, but because of Xu Hexiang's warm hospitality, Newman's interest in Chinese food was stimulated, so he changed his itinerary.

Qiao Zhi didn't intend to take charge of it himself, because he believed that with Xu Qian's strength, he could be tested by any Michelin food agent.

......

In less than 24 hours, Newman, a food agent, followed Xu Hexiang through the streets and alleys, searching for many restaurants.

"There are still three hours left before you leave Yanjing, and now I will take you to the last place. Xu Hexiang said with a smile.

"Oh, usually the best comes at the end. Newman is looking forward to it, although he and Xu Hexiang have only been in contact for one day, they are full of good feelings for this fellow practitioner.

The last place to settle down was the main cafeteria of the Qiao Gang at the Yenching Film Academy, which did not say hello in advance, like ordinary guests.

"Mr. Xu, the environment here is very ordinary, unlike the places you took me to before, many of which are full of cultural heritage. The décor is more modern, but it's not as sophisticated and luxurious as you might think, but it's very comfortable overall. Newman looked around, "Also, I noticed a peculiarity that seems to be the oldest part of the clientele. ”

After Xu Hui finished translating, Xu Hexiang said with a smile: "Yesterday I took you to a traditional place, which may cause you to misunderstand, thinking that Chinese food is an ancient thing that has been passed down." The place I brought you to today is the place where Huaxia is now best integrated with the market. ”

"Market?" Newman surprised.

"That's right, if a catering company wants to survive, it is not enough to have a concept or special dishes, but also to open up the market and create a unique brand. This is a place where Chinese cuisine and the market are perfectly integrated. Xu Hexiang said with a smile, "This is Qiao Zhi, the president of the Young Chefs Association, and he founded a restaurant chain called Qiao Gangzhu Canteen. ”

Newman suddenly realized, "It turns out that this is the main cafeteria of Qiao's gang, to tell you the truth, I have admired it for a long time, but it is difficult to reserve a table here." On my social accounts, some friends often suggest that I come to Huaxia and taste the food in Qiaobang's canteen for myself. ”

Xu Hexiang said with a smile: "I will definitely not let you down." ”

Newman has a strong sense of expectation, because Xu Hexiang has never made such a subjective judgment when introducing other delicacies to himself before.

Sitting in the spacious hall, waiting for about ten minutes, the beautiful waitress came to the table with a blue and white porcelain plate.

The waiter opened the dining hood, and a rich aroma burst out of the air, and then poured the secret sauce into it.

"This dish is...... Duck?" Newman looked at the dish in disbelief.

At first glance, it is a brown gourd, but on closer inspection, it turns out to be a duck, and the gourd beak is the pointed beak of a duck.

The whole duck had its wings and feet removed and was tied up with a rope in the shape of a gourd.

Xu Hexiang bowed slightly, "This dish is called Eight Treasure Gourd Duck." ”

Newman was surprised after Xu Hui's translation: "No wonder this dish looks like a gourd, it turns out to be a duck, and it's a whole duck?"

Babao gourd duck is a famous dish, and Newman is well-informed, and he has not been exposed to this dish before.

During Qianlong's southern tour, the local government received the emperor with this dish.

The waiter cut the rope with scissors, Newman gently touched the duck with chopsticks, the duck meat was boiled soft, the chopsticks easily pierced into it, and a sweet smell burst out from the inside, Newman couldn't help but take a deep breath, only to feel that the whole person's spirit was lifted.

"It smells so good! There are no bones. ”

Xu Hexiang patiently explained, "This dish is extremely particular about knife work, and the chef removes all the duck bones, leaving the meat and skin. ”

The appearance is very peculiar, the aroma is tangy, as for the taste......

The duck meat has a fat and glutinous duck skin, and the entrance feels like it is melting on the tip of the tongue, and the sweetness of the glutinous rice has become a second level, blurring at the tip of the tongue, he can't help but close his eyes, silently counting the changes, one, two, three......

Before he had time to analyze, his taste buds were completely opened, he opened his eyes and sighed: "This dish is really amazing!"

Xu Qian was busy in the kitchen, and he knew that Xu Hexiang had brought a Michelin-starred food agent to the hall to start tasting the food he had cooked.

Despite his nervousness, he struggled to keep his emotions under control.

"Lao Xu, why are you sweating so much?" A familiar voice came from behind him, it was the boss Qiao Zhi.

Xu Qian subconsciously wiped his forehead, there was no sweat, and realized that Qiao Zhi was joking with himself.

"No way, there is a Michelin agent outside, of course I'm a little nervous, if I don't play well and the guests are not satisfied, won't it affect the reputation of the Qiao Gang's main canteen?" Xu Qian said truthfully.

"Relax, don't stress too much, with your level, absolutely no problem. Qiao Zhi said with a smile, "What's more, even if there is a problem, it doesn't matter, whether we choose Michelin restaurants or not, their evaluation doesn't have much value to us." ”

Xu Qian was comforted by Qiao Zhi and felt a lot more relaxed.

Qiao Zhi put on his apron, walked to the stove, and picked up the kitchen knife, "What are you going to cook now, I'll give you a hand!"

Xu Qian was slightly stunned and grinned, "Steamed sea bass." ”

Although Qiao Zhi is the boss, but now in the back kitchen, Xu Qian is the head chef, and it is reasonable for him to give himself a hand.

Qiao Zhi came out of the fish pond with a perch, put it on the cutting board and patted the fish's head, the knife light was faint, the fish was processed, the fish blood was very small, not even contaminated with the white and tender fish meat, the fish belly was also very clean, and the fish scales were completely clean without scratching the skin at all.

Subsequently, Qiao Zhi began to prepare the ingredients, in addition to the ginger shreds, shredded carrots and shredded white radish.

Everyone in the back kitchen was watching Qiao Zhi's process of handling the sea bass, and although it was not the first time to see Qiao Zhi's amazing skills, they couldn't help but admire.

In about ten minutes, the fish in the steamer is steamed.

Xu Qian sprinkled the ingredients on the steamed sea bass, sprinkled with the fried clear oil, and with a loud sound, Qiao Zhi came over and wiped the oil flowers on the edge of the plate.

Newman waited for the second course, then reached out and picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew.

The fish is warm in the mouth, with a faint tenderness, and the deliciousness of the fish bursts out when you chew it slightly, and the brown soup is not rich in seasoning, which outlines the deliciousness of the fish itself, and the saltiness of the soy sauce itself is also just right.

The shredded ginger, shredded carrots, shredded white radish and shredded bamboo shoots as the base make the sea bass layered.

"Well, it tastes good. ”

Xu Hexiang said with a smile: "We eat river fresh in China, and there is a schedule: New Year's cauliflower perch, February saury, March mandarin fish, April anchovy, May white fish, June bream, July eel, August catfish, September crucian carp, October grass carp, November silver carp, December herring." There's never been a better time to eat sea bass!"

Before he knew it, Newman had already eaten most of it, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I fell in love with Chinese food!

There are no flowery rhetoric, concrete expressions......

Xu Hexiang could see that Newman had really found the charm of Chinese food, and he was secretly relieved that the task that Qiao Zhi had arranged for him had finally been completed.

Live up to the trust.

......

Another food agent, Simeone, is almost crazy.

He wanted to sneak into Yanying Canteen secretly and do a secret food visit, but he didn't expect to succeed.

I applied and made an appointment many times in the background, but I couldn't succeed.

He underestimated the popularity of Yanying's cafeteria, not everyone can go in and have a good meal.

Just when he collapsed, the mobile phone screen flickered, and after he connected it, Tong Lei's voice came.

"Dear Mr. Simeone, are you ready for your visit to the Joe Gang's main cafeteria?"

"I'm almost crazy with its reservation system, I grabbed it all night, and the moment I refreshed, there were no spots, and then I kept scrolling the page to see if anyone would give up the spots. Occasionally, I saw that there were places, but they were also snatched away. ”

Those places that are released are actually operated by scalpers, and now they are all derived from plug-ins, how to grab places with the software by relying on their own hand speed!

Tong Lei wanted to laugh but couldn't help it, "Since we invited you to go to Qiao's main canteen to do a store visit evaluation, of course we will arrange it for you." We have already applied for you to enter the restaurant for dinner, the time is tomorrow at noon, and I will arrange for someone to take you to the cafeteria tomorrow morning......"

"Yes, thank you!" said Simeone, relieved.

It's the first time I've encountered this situation, and if I want to enter a certain store to taste food, I have to rely on the "back door".

"We wish you a pleasant meal. ”

Simeone frowned and said "thank you".

He hid resentment in his heart, it was so difficult to get an admission ticket, could he still have a good meal?
