Soon the dish was served, the portion was small, but it was exquisite, both in terms of the plate decoration and the appearance of the dish, which made people want to taste it.

Caviar prawns, braised Australian ribbon in oil, bamboo shoots in soup, cream mushroom soup.

Shen Ning picked up a large prawn, the caviar on it was crystal clear, and he was full of appetite when he looked at it, and carefully placed it on the eating plate in front of Shen Jiawei's eyes: "Try it, it looks very good." ”

The little guy nodded, and as soon as he tasted it, his little brows furrowed: "Baba Weiwei doesn't want to eat it, it's so unpalatable." ”

Shen Ning was slightly stunned, picked up a prawn and took a bite, the faint fishy smell of caviar spread directly in his mouth, although the fishy smell was not heavy, but it completely blocked the umami of the prawn.

After trying the rest of the dishes again, Shen Ning was completely disappointed, this so-called Mei Linqi may be quite novel, but the taste and texture are indeed a lot worse.

Ordinary people may be able to accept it if they eat it fresh, but children's mouths are the most tricky, especially attracted by Shen Ning's food, and their feelings for taste buds are more direct.

"If you don't like it, let's change it, right?" Shen Ning said dotingly, while Xiao Weiwei shook her head in silence.

"I'm going to eat poop, okay?"

Shen Ning looked at the time, nodded with a smile, and then, standing up to settle the bill, at the place of the food outlet, a blonde man in his forties and wearing a white overalls walked over.

"What, isn't the food to taste?" "I'm the head chef of Melinki's restaurant, and my name is Zhuge Brown. ”

The blonde man introduced himself, his gaze swept over the barely motionless dishes on the table, and shrugged his shoulders.

"Melinki's restaurant eliminates waste, I wonder if the taste of the dish is not to the taste of Mr.?"

"Pretty good. Shen Ning smiled and spoke.

"Sir, it's not right for you to do this, there are clear rules in the Merlinqi restaurant, and the people who come here to dine are gentlemen who pursue delicious food, and it is a shame to waste things. Zhuge Brown frowned, obviously smelling something different from Shen Ning's somewhat far-fetched answer.

"If you do this, the Merinqi restaurant will blacklist you, and in the future, the entire Qinghu and all the country's Merinqi restaurants will refuse to serve you delicious dishes. Seeing that Shen Ning was unmoved, Zhuge Brown said again, the seriousness in his tone made Shen Ning frown.

This Zhuge Brown is indeed very cute, maybe the deliciousness of his cooking is not recognized, and it is better than the pursuit of deliciousness, but there is an old saying in the imperial capital catering industry, one person is difficult to call a hundred hearts, which means that everyone's pursuit of deliciousness is different, no matter how awesome the chef is, it is impossible to make every dish that everyone likes.

It's a pity that Zhuge Brown, the resolute head chef in front of him, doesn't seem to know the existence of this sentence.

Moreover, Shen Ning can say with certainty that although the food cooked by this so-called Melinqi restaurant is not too unpalatable, it has not reached a level that most people praise.

What's more, the regulations of Mei Linqi Restaurant may be to improve the coercion of the restaurant itself, but this kind of coercion is not the slightest binding for Shen Ning.

"The blacklist is the blacklist. Shen Ning smiled and took Xiao Weiwei's hand and walked in the direction of the bar.

"I really don't understand the true meaning of food, and I don't respect the fruits of other people's labor, it has always been the habit of your imperial people, such a good delicacy will be delivered to your table, I feel sad for my food. Zhuge Brown's voice was a little louder, which immediately attracted the attention of the other tables of guests in the restaurant.

"But... It's hard to eat. Xiao Weiwei couldn't help but say, her big black and white eyes were full of seriousness.

"Heh... It's really a child's talk. Zhuge Brown rarely used an idiom from the imperial capital, but the ridicule and contempt on his face exposed the unhappiness in his heart.

Shen Ning, who was already about to walk to the bar, stopped, it's just a meal, you have your rules, just follow your rules, and it has risen to the height of the country, which makes Shen Ning very uncomfortable.

Moreover, the delicacy cooked by a true master of gourmet cuisine is not to everyone's liking, at least, it does not make people feel repulsed.

"The true meaning of food, waste is the habit of the people of the imperial capital?" Shen Ning frowned, and asked Zhuge Brown, he originally thought that this chief chef looked very cute in order not to waste, but at this time, it seemed that it was clearly to make an excuse for his food to be completely ignored or disliked, although this excuse has the rules of the so-called Mei Linqi restaurant, but in Shen Ning's opinion, it still seems a bit far-fetched.

"With such high-quality ingredients, you have cooked them into such a so-called delicacy, do you think we are wasting it, or are you wasting it, Mr. Baoluo?" Shen Ning's voice was flat, but the rhetorical question in his voice made Zhuge Brown frown instantly.

As the head chef of the Meilinqi Qinghu branch, he is full of confidence in his cooking skills, and most of the people who come to Meilinqi to dine on weekdays are some celebrities or people with status, where have you ever encountered such a direct question of your cooking skills?

"You question my cooking skills?" Zhuge Brown looked at Shen Ning with dark yellow eyes and asked a little angrily.

"You can see this? Shen Ning gave a thumbs up, and there was no sarcasm between his words, obviously Zhuge Brown's words before also made him a little angry.

"It seems that you are a master of Chinese food, very confident, with the same ingredients, you can cook more delicious food than me?" Although Zhuge Brown's Mandarin is not standard, the meaning that can be expressed makes Shen Ning raise his eyebrows.

Although he Shen Ning is not a famous culinary master, he has not participated in any competitions, and he has not taken any major initiatives in the kitchen, but for the study of food, Shen Ning, as a foodie, is also an expert.

"If you can cook the same delicious food as me, I can apologize to you in public for today's incident. Seeing that Shen Ning was silent, Zhuge Brown spoke Chinese that was not fluent, and said again, but the expression on his face was very playful, obviously not thinking that Shen Ning would understand the true meaning of food.

"Baby, wait a while, okay?" Shen Ning ignored Zhuge Brown, and lowered his head to ask Xiao Weiwei's opinion.

"Do you want to make something delicious for Weiwei to eat?" asked Xiaoweiwei with a serious face, a hint of excitement flashing in her big black and white eyes.

"Well, baba is ready to eat for Vivi. Shen Ning nodded, his face was full of pampering, and then, after arranging for Xiao Weiwei to sit aside, his eyes fell on Zhuge Brown: "Since you want to see the cooking skills of the imperial capital so much, I will satisfy you." ”

Shen Ning's voice fell, and Zhuge Brown nodded with a sneer: "Although outsiders are forbidden to enter the kitchen of Mei Linqi's restaurant, I will make an exception today, I hope you can give me some surprises." ”

The two of them came to the kitchen one after the other, the kitchen space is very large, all kinds of kitchen utensils and stove facilities are readily available, just in terms of hygiene, it is impeccable.

Nearly twenty or thirty people in white overalls were busy with their work, including foreigners and some people from the imperial capital, who did not pay special attention to the arrival of Zhuge Brown and Shen Ning.

"Bang bang. ”

Zhuge Brown clapped his hands, and everyone tacitly stopped the work that was not busy in their hands, and looked at the head chef.

"Let's learn from this Chinese chef who doesn't approve of the food at our Melinki restaurant, so let's look forward to his performance. Zhuge Brown said with a playful smile, Shen Ning ignored it and went straight to the position of the water platform.

Randomly grabbed four prawns, Shen Ning turned around: "This big prawn is produced in Cwanis, and the meat layer is very delicious. ”

Shen Ning said casually, but the movements of his subordinates did not stop, skillfully handling the prawns: "Polyps have the effects of tonifying the kidneys and aphrodisiac, Hua expected the amount, relieving pain, appetizing and other effects, and are suitable for patients with physical weakness and neurasthenia. ”

While Shen Ning was talking, the four prawns were cleaned by him, the wok was on fire, the oil temperature was eighty percent, and the wrist was shaking, and the prawns were put into the pan and oiled until they were six ripe, and the fire was red.

Shen Ning's movements were skillful, without the slightest delay, the ginger rice was put into the pot, cooking vinegar and soy sauce, and then after adding the base flavor and sugar, he picked up two slices of cut lemon and threw them in, and began to cook over low heat.
