Chapter 660: Swallow Wing Seat
Because he wanted to stay in Yonghe Ju for dinner, Jiang Feng simply rubbed his lunch to the end. Compared with the staff meals of Taifeng Building, which are comparable to the buffet of less than 100 yuan, the staff meals of Yongheju are relatively simple and normal, except that there is no difference between the aunt and the student canteen.
There is meat, there are vegetarian, the craftsmanship is average, there is more vegetarian meat, less meat and more oil.
The staff meals in Taifeng Building are made by all the stove cooks in shifts, and the staff meals in Yongheju are made by the chefs with the lowest seniority, such as the young man who often mistakenly calls Jiang Feng's uncle and ancestor unworthy of his name.
Today's staff meal was made by him, a total of five dishes, and Jiang Feng tasted them all. After tasting it, Jiang Feng deeply realized that this young man had the lowest grade, and it was not for nothing that he was generally not allowed to touch the stove - this skill was really not good.
"Division... , Jiang Feng, when do you think I will become a real stove chef like you?" asked the young man with the lowest rank holding a plate.
"Sit down first, you're about to spill all the beans on me. Jiang Feng pointed to the seat opposite him and motioned for the junior guy to sit down.
Because of the poor quality of staff meals, bosses like Peng Changping and Lu Sheng generally eat outside, and some wealthy chefs will also eat in small shops on the side, and only young men with limited money and poor employees who save money to support their families will eat in the store.
"How many years have you been studying?" Jiang Feng asked.
Although he stayed in Yonghe for a longer time than Taifeng Lou during this time, he was hanging soup soup and rarely communicated with people, except for roughly knowing what the surnames of these people in the kitchen were, and who were of higher seniority, he didn't know anything about the other situations.
"It's been almost four years. The guy said.
"Then you're still early. Jiang Feng said, "I started to learn to cook with my grandfather before I was five years old, and I couldn't touch the pot until I was in junior high school, and you have only been a few years." ”
Yongheju's apprenticeship model still continues the most traditional one, and apprentices are accepted into the door, unless the talent is particularly good, otherwise the basic skills alone must be practiced for ten years. Even though the times are constantly changing, the cooks have changed from being illiterate to receiving nine years of compulsory education, not only literate but also knowing Newton's second law and chemical equations, and the way of accepting apprentices in Yongheju has not changed.
This also led to the fact that Yongheju basically did not receive apprentices over the years, which was a little worse than Zhiweiju in the south - Zhiweiju finally let go of the requirements, but Yongheju refused to let go at all.
"Hey. The guy sighed, sighing at his slim future of not knowing when he would become a real chef.
Jiang Feng also sighed, sighing for today's unsatisfactory lunch.
Because the guy has the lowest rank in Yonghe, the senior brother and sister have richer wallets than him and are officially young and enjoy the age, except for lunch at the end of the month, he rarely eats in the store, and it is difficult for the uncle and uncle to talk together because of the generation gap in age. Usually the guy doesn't have a meal buddy when he eats, but today he rarely caught Jiang Feng, who was not very familiar but at least his peers, so he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to say everything that he couldn't say when he was eating.
Jiang Feng sat opposite him while eating and listening to him, and I don't know when Jiang Feng found that his popularity in this area was very good, and there were always some people he didn't think he was particularly familiar with who were willing to say something that was not very important to him. I also went to the teahouse with Zheng Siyuan before, and Zheng Siyuan didn't say anything to him about picking pastries from others.
Maybe that's the affinity that comes from a good boss.
After listening to the other party's words and saying a lot of things, Jiang Feng suddenly reacted that he actually had something to ask him, and asked, "By the way, have you seen other masters cook the Tan family's banquet in Yongheju for so many years?"
Yongheju's Tan family cuisine banquet has always been a very mysterious thing, everyone knows that Yongheju has things, but few people have seen it. Legend has it that Yongheju only cooks it a few times a year, but most people don't even know when and for whom these few times were made, after all, ordinary diners can't see Yongheju's Tan family recipes.
Ever since he became acquainted with Lu Sheng, Jiang Feng had always wanted to ask him why he made the Tan family's banquet so mysterious, and it wasn't that the chef couldn't do it if he ran away, why did the good dishes have to be hidden.
It's a pity that Jiang Feng never found a chance to ask.
"Yes, last year our store made two tables, it was a family banquet for the 90th birthday of an old diner in our store, and I went out to help!"
"You went too?" Jiang Feng was shocked.
"Of course!" said the young man, proudly, "I washed all the dishes!"
Jiang Feng: ......
I really don't know you Yongheju chefs very well.
"What's there?" Jiang Feng asked curiously, and after speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, "If you can't say it, don't say it." ”
"There's nothing you can't say, others may not be able to say it, you have learned from Master Tai, you can definitely say it. If you want me to say that Master Tai will definitely accept you as an apprentice in the future, maybe I will call you Uncle Xiao in the future, my master has never learned from Master Tai. The young man said, "Let me think about it, in fact, there are not many big dishes, mainly because those dishes are too troublesome, and they can't do it if there are too many dishes." ”
The young man fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he stumbled like a junior high school student memorizing a text: "I remember that it shows that the tea and dried tea are Boss Lu's tea, and the dried fruits are brought over by my master from the store, I haven't eaten them, I don't know if they are delicious or not." ”
"Then I served a few side dishes, and my brother said that it was an appetizer, and there were six or seven dishes, which were served on small plates. I remember spiced fish, duck liver, drunkard peanuts, sausages, elbow flowers, and a few more than I can remember. ”
Jiang Feng nodded, there were so many side dishes just to serve with the wine, which could be described as quite sumptuous.
"There is also wine, and the wine is also brought from the store, and Uncle Shi said that the most important thing in this banquet is wine, and if you can't buy it outside, you must make it from them. ”
"I remember that the first dish was braised shark fin, my master said that the order of serving other dishes can be changed, but the first dish must be shark fin, the second dish is braised abalone, the third dish is steamed chicken with straw mushrooms, the fourth dish is white fungus stew, the fifth dish seems to be fish, the sixth dish is dried scallop crispy duck, the seventh dish is sweet soup, and finally there are two stacks of dim sum. Originally, we were supposed to make our own dim sum, but there was really no manpower, so the dim sum was bought by the host himself. ”
"Quite a lot. Jiang Feng sighed, a banquet dish gathered shark fin, abalone, chicken, duck and fish, such a configuration can be said to be quite ......
Wait, chicken, duck, fish, shark fin and abalone are all there, but what about sea cucumber and bird's nest?
"Why are there no sea cucumbers and bird's nests?" Jiang Feng asked.
This question involves the blind spot of the young man's knowledge, and his greatest contribution to the whole banquet is to wash the vegetables, which really can't answer this question.
The young man shook his head in confusion.
What Jiang Feng didn't expect was that he had just finished asking about the configuration of the Tan family's banquet at noon, and he would see it in the afternoon.
Peng Changping and Lu Sheng went out to eat and brought Xu Cheng back, and Boss Xu not only came, but also brought a bunch of ingredients, all of which were ingredients to be used for dinner.
These ingredients need to be personally escorted by Xu Cheng, which is enough to show their preciousness and rarity.
Of course, it may be that Xu Cheng just wants to find a reason to squat in Yongheju and go to the hotel like Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng went to look at the ingredients.
Chicken, duck, fish, a variety of vegetables, sea cucumber, shark fin, abalone, bird's nest, all ready.
Jiang Feng: ?
Is Peng Changping Superman? Or is he the legendary Captain America, a prime-age chef who uses all these ingredients for a banquet may be tired to sudden death, let alone a super old player like him.
"Master Peng, are you sure you can use so many ingredients for today's dinner?" Jiang Feng looked incredulous.
"These are the ingredients for the swallow wing mat. Peng Changping said with a smile, "Six appetizers, nine hot dishes, one beet, four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, and a cup of Tieguanyin for one person, which cannot be changed or changed." ”
Several apprentices of Lu Sheng and Peng Changping silently lowered their heads, and their eyes became a little erratic.
"Are you busy?" Jiang Feng asked in his soul.
"Naturally, it's busy. Peng Changping walked to the side of the ingredients and counted them, "The chicken, duck and fish have been processed first, the shark fin soaking time is not enough, are the scallops and ham ready? This pot is alkaline water, how can you use alkaline water to make bird's nest vegetables, and swallow vegetables can be soaked in warm water to maintain the original flavor, have you forgotten this? What have you done all these years? How is the chicken soup in the morning now? Chen... Forget it, you go deal with the duck, Jiang Feng, you go and watch the chicken soup. ”
Except for Peng Changping, who was a little unhappy because of the alkaline water, his tone was very gentle the rest of the time, and he arranged everyone's tasks in an orderly manner, basically achieving that everyone had a job to do and everyone could work overtime.
The last few chefs who didn't get the job of the Tan family's cuisine were only the young man who ate with Jiang Feng at noon and the other two with the lowest rank and the worst technique.
"Master, I'll wash the vegetables!" Although the young man didn't get a job, he could create a job, and after saying that, he ran away with the pot containing the vegetables that had obviously been washed.
Jiang Feng: ......
Seriously, I really don't know you Yongheju chefs very well.
