Chapter 184: Kimchi
The two old men came with a meal, and if it is estimated according to the previous customer flow, the noon business of the healthy stir-fry restaurant has come to an end at this time. Jiang Jiankang has already burned half of the dishes, and only the two old men need to go to the back kitchen to add two hard dishes, and today's food can come to a perfect end.
But today is different, now they are all a little closer, the healthy stir-fry restaurant is still a cloud, and Jiang Feng has also been assigned to the lobby to wipe the table.
Jiang Weiguo smelled a hint of something unusual.
Jiang Feng, who was wiping the table near the door, was the first to spot the two old men.
"Grandpa, third grandpa. Jiang Feng said, "My dad just started cooking, and I guess I'll have to wait for a while." ”
Jiang Weiming saw the ant tree and Sichuan-style jelly on the guest table, and asked with a smile, "Wu Yatou cooked a new dish today?"
"It's not her, it's her dad who came and helped in the back kitchen. Jiang Feng explained as he cleared the empty plate on the table and wiped it clean neatly.
Jiang Weiming thought for a while and said to Jiang Weiguo: "Wu girl's father should be Wu Hanxue, the eldest son of Old Man Wu, I told you before, he has a good talent, and now he should be the chef of Wu's restaurant." Let's go in and take a look, I haven't seen it in more than ten years. ”
Wu Hanxue is still frying ants on the tree.
He didn't remember how many pots this was, even in the Wu Family Restaurant, he rarely had such a busy time, and he wouldn't make a few dishes repeatedly with such high frequency and high intensity.
Wu Hanxue wiped the sweat on his head and put the ants in the pot on the tree and put it out of the pot.
"Kiki, how many dishes are there?" Wu Hanxue asked.
Wu Minqi looked at the sticky notes, "3 parts of Sichuan-style jelly, 1 part of chestnut roast chicken." ”
Jiang Jiankang has already begun to nibble on cucumbers next to him.
"Dad, third uncle!" Seeing the two old men coming, Jiang Jiankang hurriedly greeted him and reported his cooking progress, "I burned a plate of three fresh dishes, a plate of kung pao chicken and a plate of braised cod, you can take a look"
Jiang Weiguo glanced at the kitchen table, saw the fried and crispy ingredients prepared by Jiang Jiankang, and said, "Since I have a guest, I will cook two more good dishes." ”
"Okay!" Jiang Jiankang suddenly smiled.
Jiang Weiming walked up to Wu Hanxue and said, "You rest, I'll do the rest." Little brother, I'll keep the fried double crispy and wait for me to do it last. ”
In terms of Lu cuisine skills, Jiang Weiguo is not as good as Jiang Weiming.
"Okay. Jiang Weiguo responded.
Wu Hanxue was finally able to take a breather and rest, took the tissue handed by Wu Minqi to wipe his sweat, and said politely to Jiang Weiming: "Uncle Jiang, my father heard your news from Qiqi after the New Year, and kept saying that he wanted to meet you. ”
"I'm afraid your dad wasn't so polite when he said it, how is he doing now?" Jiang Weiming said with a smile.
At that time, the provincial capital of Shu belonged to Jiang Weiming and Wu Xiuyun (Wu Minqi's grandfather), the two most famous chefs, and their cooking skills were also equal. Jiang Weiming's best dish is not chopped pepper fish head, it is chicken bean curd, just because he has been praised by foreign guests, it has become an iconic dish, and he has been pressing Wu Xiuyun's head.
is also because of this, the relationship between the two was not harmonious, Jiang Weiming had a good temper, but Wu Xiuyun was a violent temper, like Jiang Weiguo, whenever he talked to Jiang Weiming back then, he always had a gun and a stick in his words.
Now that so many years have passed, when I think back to the beginning, I actually miss it a little.
"Look at what you said, after all these years, can my dad still be the same as before? he is in good health, and he can still cook in the back kitchen from time to time. Wu Hanxue drank a glass of water, and continued, "He said, the next time I meet you, I will compare my cooking skills with you." ”
I'm afraid only this sentence is true, and his temperament has really not changed at all. I'm old, I can't move anymore, I'm tired enough to burn a chopped pepper fish head, I'm afraid that I can't make this kind of dish with boiling cabbage for a long time, and I can't compare to him for a long time. Jiang Weiming smiled bitterly.
"Third uncle, do you still make boiling cabbage?" Jiang Jiankang's eyes lit up, Jiang Jianguo was beaten because of this dish when he was a child, and the impression of their brothers on this state banquet dish was simply not too deep.
"I've been in Shu for most of my life, so naturally I can, but it's not as good as Wu Minqi and her grandfather, his boiling water cabbage is the best in the whole Shudi. By the way, is this still your restaurant's signature dish?" Jiang Weiming asked.
"My dad has rarely done it in the past few years, and he can't do it a few times a year, so it's not been for a long time. Wu Han learned.
While talking, the ants went up the tree and came out of the pot.
Just by looking at it, you can see that it is a few points better than what Wu Han has learned.
"You've gotten better at cooking. Wu Hanxue boasted.
Wu Hanxue and Jiang Weiming chatted with each other, Jiang Weiguo concentrated on cooking vegetables and showed his hand in front of the guests, Wu Minqi and Jiang Jiankang were eating melons in the back kitchen, and Jiang Feng was busy in the lobby.
By the time all the dishes were out of the pot and ready to eat, the lobby was almost busy, and only a few sporadic guests were still eating.
There are not many dishes, but they are all good at Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming, Jiang Feng is tired at noon and only cares about eating hard, and has no time to chat or pay attention to others.
Wu Hanxue and Jiang Weiming exchanged a few words of greeting from time to time, but Wu Minqi's mother was unexpectedly talkative, and chatted with Jiang Jiankang and Wang Xiulian about a lot of topics.
After eating two and a half bowls of rice for the first time, Jiang Feng put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.
"Do you make sweet potatoes in the semi-finals?" Wu Minqi, who had already finished the battle, asked when Jiang Feng finished eating.
"Yes. Jiang Feng nodded, "What are you doing?"
"Sprouts and meat. ”
"Sprouts?" Jiang Feng had never heard of this kind of dish.
"A kind of pickled vegetable over there is a bit like plum cabbage, and the method is actually similar to plum cabbage and meat, but it is a little spicy. Wu Minqi explained.
Jiang Feng was a little suspicious of what Wu Minqi said.
"Have you informed the organizer of the ingredients? Sprouts are hard to find here, what if the quality is not good?" Jiang Feng began to worry about his competitors.
"I called the organizer last night to tell me about it, I know that we have an old store over there that sells sprouts of good quality, and I also gave them the address, and this morning the staff of Good Taste called me to inform me that their staff had set off for Shudi. Wu Minqi said.
Jiang Feng: ......
He forgot that the staff of Good Taste can do anything.
"By the way, Uncle Jiang, can I borrow the kitchen to practice this afternoon?" Wu Minqi looked at Jiang Jiankang.
"Use it casually, tell Uncle if you lack anything, and Uncle will buy it for you. "Jiang Jiankang is very refreshing.
"Thank you so much. Wu Minqi's mother said.
"It's okay, it's a small thing, my son has to practice too, and the kitchen is for them in the afternoon, it's always been like this. Mother Wu, what is the name of that brand of mask you just mentioned?" Wang Xiulian brought the topic back to skin care.
"It's a relatively niche brand, I've seen it in Japan before, but it works very well, it's ......"
Jiang Jiankang continued to be kicked out of the group chat.
"Dad, how many cans of sprouts did you bring?" Wu Minqi asked again.
"Two cans. ”
"Did you bring the pickles?"
"Brought it. ”
"Kimchi?" do you still need kimchi to make button meat?" Jiang Feng was shocked.
"It's not for the meat, it's for you to eat. Wu Minqi explained.
"Huh?"
"Didn't you say that the red-skinned white radish and cowpeas soaked at home were delicious, so I asked my dad to bring two cans by the way. Wu Minqi said.
"That'...... That's embarrassing. Jiang Feng instantly remembered the kimchi he had eaten at the beginning of school, and he suddenly burst into words.
Shudi kimchi, delicious!
Even soaked chili peppers are delicious!
"It's just two cans of kimchi, nothing. ”
Wu Minqi's mother quietly glanced at Wu Minqi, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Mother Wu, why don't we go shopping tomorrow, there is a store in the city center that seems to be new tomorrow. Wang Xiulian felt that she and Wu Minqi's mother were like acquaintances at first sight, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.
"Okay. Wu Minqi's mother smiled.
