164 The prince of white clothes
People named Zidan are usually very capable of fighting.
After listening to Guo Yigang's narration, Zhou Dong knew that this Yuan Zidan was also a particularly capable master in Qinxing. He is the descendant of the Yuan family of Genhong Miaozheng, and his ancestor is the famous Yuan Mei.
Yuan Mei is amazing, he is a famous poet, essayist, literary critic and gourmand in the Qianjia period, calling himself the old man of Cangshan and the owner of the garden.
The most powerful thing about this Suiyuan master is not actually writing articles, but as a gourmet, he wrote a book that makes the world's chefs regard it as a classic "Suiyuan Food List", from the classification of ingredients, selection, to cooking techniques, but people are still halfway home, there is no diligent teacher, this genius is comparable to the yellow clothes who created the "Nine Yin True Scripture".
His descendants naturally did not dare to offend the ancestral name, but they were still respected as 'the new generation of garden masters'.
Speaking of this Yuan Zidan, Guo Yigang was helpless and admired: "Brother Zhou, you don't know, there are only three people who can make me admire this diligence."
One is my godfather, although he is just an ordinary chef, he helped me when I was at my worst, and he is broad-minded and benevolent.
The other is you, brother, and I am convinced to eat a large intestine sashimi.
And this third person is this new generation of garden owners.
This Mr. Yuan Zidan is not only a poet and painter, but also a master chef, I don't know how many dignitaries in Kyoto want to befriend him, and guess what?"
Speaking of this, he deliberately left a breath, turned his head to look at Teacher Yu, and Teacher Yu took over and said: "As a result, no one saw anything, but I sent a bowl of water to everyone who came to visit......
Guo Yigang sighed and said: "The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, both saving face and rejecting people, and there is a pride in his bones, do you say that he is smart or not?"
Zhou Dong nodded: "Gao Ming." ”
But I was very strange in my heart, what kind of place is Kyoto, even he, a young man who has just 'graduated' not long ago, knows that Yuan Zidan's approach is to offend people, and if he offends high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto, he can still get mixed up?
And Suiyuan is not in Jincheng, although it was later destroyed by the war, the Yuan family should also be in Jincheng if they want to rebuild Suiyuan, why did they go to Kyoto?
After all, he graduated from a professional technical school, and Zhou Dong still heard the history of Suiyuan talk about it.
"So, brother, what is this little face to Mr. Yuan? But my godfather has had a wish since he was young, that is, he wants to taste the food recorded in the garden food list. ”
Guo Yigang smiled bitterly: "In a week, it will be my godfather's 80th birthday, and his old man is not in good health, I'm afraid ...... That's why my brother and I thought about helping my godfather fulfill this wish. ”
"It turns out that Mr. Guo has such filial piety?"
Zhou Dong nodded: "But didn't you just say that Suiyuan is still hosting banquets to the outside world? Since this Mr. Yuan opened the door to do business, why would he refuse you?"
Teacher Yu said: "Brother Zhou, you don't know, it's right to operate with the garden, but it only receives one table of guests every day.
And in this way, we have to examine the guest's personality first: those who are not obedient and unfilial will not be accepted, those who are in a high position but have no clear name will not be accepted, those who do not understand the scriptures and righteousness will not be accepted, and those who do not understand the way of eating and drinking will not be accepted. ”
Zhou Dong was surprised: "There are so many rules?"
This is really the first time I've seen such a restaurant, only one table a day, not to mention, and all kinds of rules? This Mr. Yuan Zidan is a little interesting.
"Isn't it?"
Lao Guo sighed: "Good guy, if you don't answer this one of the righteous people, you won't know how many people will be stumped." I also read some scriptures, but I didn't know the bottom when I went to sign up and queue up.
Fortunately, Mr. Yuan said that I have contributed to the art of cross talk, although this cross talk is 'yuppie culture', he still likes it, so he is qualified to queue up!
But I can't just queue up, I've inquired, the guests in the park are all lined up until the end of next year, my godfather can't wait......"
Zhou Dong smiled bitterly: "If you say that, I won't be able to go? Not to mention Jingyi, I haven't even experienced higher education." ”
"Brother, you're different. Mr. Yuan also has a rule for the masters of diligence, saying that if someone can make the 'plum blossom fried rice' that his ancestors once admired, they can solve the problem of Suiyuan.
As long as the problem is solved, it is the most honored guest of Suiyuan. Such a guest can ask Suiyuan to hold an additional banquet for him!, so brother, you see......
Everything that should be said has been said, Guo Yigang looked at Zhou Dong with a blank eye, his connections are also very large, and he has long asked someone to inquire about any master who can make 'plum blossom fried rice', and the result is yes, but none of those people are not famous Qinxing seniors, most of them have already sealed the spoon, who will help him solve the problem?
It's only a week now, and if Zhou Dong refuses to go to Kyoto, he really has no choice.
"In this case, I'll give you a call first and see if I can help you solve the problem, Mr. Guo. ”
Zhou Dong didn't bother to pay attention to anything else except for his cooking skills. Too lazy to have a girlfriend, too lazy to socialize too much, otherwise with his cooking skills, he still needs to be a chef in Kyushu Dingshi?
However, it is so troublesome to open a restaurant by yourself, and it is tiring to think about it......
However, Guo Yigang has a brother, and it is not easy to refute his face, not to mention that it depends on the teacher's affection, so he remembered Yi Zhiyu's way.
Several old men left a phone number for Zhou Dong before going to Jincheng, but I didn't expect it to be used, Yi Zhiyu patted his chest at the beginning, and said that there was nothing he couldn't do in the Kyoto diligent circle.
The phone was connected, and Yi Zhiyu's surprised voice immediately came: "Stinky boy, are you going to go back to the early department to launch a new product or is your Zhou's private room about to open?"
Don't you know, the chefs here are all waste, and they are all chefs of four-star and five-star hotels? My old man will be poisoned by them sooner or later!"
He knew Zhou Dong's promise to Liu Changqing that he would still launch one or two new products in the early department every month, and he would continue to do his best for the early department after leaving to maintain his popularity. When I received a call from Zhou Dong, I thought it was a 'good day'.
Zhou Dong said: "No, it's me who wants to ask Yi Lao for help." I remember you said that there is nothing you can't do in the Kyoto diligent circle......"
"That's right, in the diligent circle in Kyoto, who doesn't give a little face when it comes to me, you can rest assured, what's the matter?"
"It's a friend of mine...... The rules of Suiyuan are a bit difficult to do, Yi Lao, do you see?"
"Are you talking about Yuan Zidan from Suiyuan?"
Yi Zhiyu hesitated for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Boy, do you know what the Yuan family is about, and why Suiyuan is revived in Kyoto......? Understood, how else can people be proud of the prince in white?
My old man's face in Kyoto is big, but there are also people who can not give me face, such as this Yuan family. ”
At the beginning of the founding of the new China, the first good minister of the Chinese country personally invited Yuan Zidan's grandfather to attend the ceremony? That's why the Yuan family rebuilt the Suiyuan Garden in Kyoto?
Zhou Dong's heart shook when he heard this, so it was, no wonder Yuan Zidan dared to give those dignitaries such a face!
"Yi Lao, you shouldn't have eaten Suiyuan's dishes, right?"
Zhou Dong was really curious.
"Why haven't you eaten it, my old man still has this little face, right?
Listen, boy, not only have I eaten the vegetables of Suiyuan, but I have also eaten a story, which I still remember to this day......"
