364 Wine for State Banquet (5,000 words)
The water quality of Ah Jie Lake seems to be getting clearer and clearer, although it used to be clear, but it always felt that there was a lack of spiritual luck, but now the water here seems to have a temperament, and when the wind blows, it will 'roar' and laugh.
The old people in the village said that this is because they have met a nobleman, and the old saying goes, 'the water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it is spiritual', this dragon is Master Xiao Zhou, the dragon among people!
The establishment of the winery directly saved the economy of Fengqi Village, and now not only the girls who stepped on the music in the winery have become the little rich women in the eyes of people from other villages, but also some young men who are idle at home have also found a livelihood, not only contracting the strength of the winery, but also reselling the lees from the winery to earn some difference.
In fact, the big wine vat can completely digest these wine lees, not to mention making wine to make Lantern Festival or something, just take this thing with warm water, add rock sugar, it is a delicious taste for men, women and children, but Zhou Dong doesn't want to do business, leaving some benefits to share the profits to the villagers is the right reason, since he became the chef of Kyushu Ding Food, Zhou's father has not taught his son these truths.
occupied the side of Sister Valley, and built a winery in a smart way, during which he received the help of the villagers, and Zhou Dong could be regarded as a return for the peach.
Zhou Dong has become a noble person in the eyes of the villagers, and the two big white geese are also 'favored by the lord', since Zhou Dong built a winery here, even the girls in the village will be reprimanded by the people sent by Li Xiuchen when they come here to soak in a hot spring, even if it is downstream!
Yongyong can take its 'female duck' to play in the water in the downstream of Sister Lake, Li Xiuchen insisted that with two ducks, Sister Lake has really become a painting, showing the beauty of nature, the villagers sincerely sighed, the village chief is better than us......
Yan Yi and Huai Liangren stood side by side on the lake and watched the Baiweisheng on the shore, the great master of the food world wearing a hat under the willow tree by the lake, holding a plate of 'white snails', and feeding the two ducks very patiently.
The plate of boiled snails in his hand is the craftsmanship of Huailiangren, using the water of Sister Ajie's lake, boiled with salted plums, although it is a simple delicacy, but it is extremely good to see the chef's skills.
Bai Weisheng's face was full of doubts, every time he threw the snails made by Huai Liangren at the two ducks, Yongyong and his wife scrambled to eat happily, but every time he replaced the snails he made, before he could throw them out, the two ducks twisted their heads to the side, seemingly extremely disdainful.
Huai Liangren and Yan Yi laughed when they saw this, and Bai Weisheng also laughed: "These two ducks are interesting, they seem to be able to really distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of food, hahaha, good, very good!"
When it comes to tasting food, he is naturally a top expert, but his cooking skills are far inferior to Huai Liang and Yan Yi, at best he is a strengthened second-level chef, but for him, cooking is only a 'hobby', and there is nothing to be ashamed of being picked on by two ducks.
"Hehe, Mr. Bai is very open-minded......"
Yan smiled and looked at Bai Weisheng, always feeling that there was something wrong with his eyes when he looked at the two big white ducks, and he looked like he had a big plan.
Could it be that this big foodie has calculated Lao Zhou's duck?
Yan Yi shook his head secretly, this is unlikely, Bai Weisheng went to live in Sister Valley, every time Zhou Dong came, he could always find some excuses, obviously to befriend Zhou Dong, how could he calculate to eat these two ducks?
"Hehe, the two are also rare characters in Huaxia Qinxing, don't you know that for a gourmet, the most important thing is not the tongue, but the mind?"
Baiweisheng said with a smile: "There are countless Chinese cuisines, and the major cuisines also have their own insistence, bitter, spicy, sweet and sour, salty, and various dishes also have their own characteristics."
But people will have love and hate, just like the two, although they also have the ability to taste food, but they can't be called gourmets, if you give two people a poor African roasted python, the two may pinch their noses and eat it, but they can't make a calm evaluation, right?
A truly professional gourmet, who can be reserved and have a poisonous tongue, must have an open-minded mind that dares to taste the world's things, just like the people of my hundred families, from generation to generation!"
Huai Liang and Yan Yi were speechless, you are delicious, can you not say so tall?
Bai Weisheng laughed, looked at the courtyard of the Zhou family under the waterfall in the distance, and said, "Why did the two chefs come to Sister Valley?
Yan Yi smiled and said, "That's not it, it's just that an important person is coming to visit Chef Zhou, and the two of us have heard his name for a long time but haven't had a chance to meet him, so today is a good opportunity." ”
"Oh, what kind of character would you two take so seriously?"
Baiweisheng was also slightly stunned, although the two young chefs in front of him are not as talented as Zhou Dong, they are also pretentious figures in the younger generation, who deserves their attention so much?
"Five Lakes Fish King, Ling Zhenfeng!"
Huai Liangren's eyes narrowed slightly, not long after Bai Weisheng's new Qinxing weapon list was sent to that professional BBS, it gradually spread in Huaxia Qinxing, and he Huai Chef was actually ranked tenth, still behind the King of Fish of the Five Lakes!
Ling Zhenfeng was not angry with Zhou Dong above him, but he didn't know that Chef Huai who was behind him was also angry, and he was thinking about where to find this fish king to compete in cooking, but he didn't expect him to send it to the door himself.
Yan Yi didn't have much idea, he didn't make the list at all, this is also because of how low-key the Shamen disciples are, not long after he went down the mountain, he was overwhelmed by Zhou Dong when he participated in a competition, although Bai Weisheng knew that the old host of Lingyin Temple had amazing cooking skills, and when he ranked the Qinxing weapon list, he also had to see how the chef had achieved in Qinxing and how famous he was, so he was not included for the time being.
"Is that him?"
Bai Weisheng smiled, he was the initiator, how could he not guess the reason why Ling Zhenfeng rushed to Chudu? Hehe, could it be that he had already entered the system, and he still couldn't let go of this false name?
Huai Liangren looked at Bai Weisheng, and then looked up at Zhou Dong's 'Tingtao Courtyard' and said: "Mr. Bai rearranged the diligent weapons spectrum, Lao Zhou is afraid that he will continue to be in trouble from now on, it is really harmful......"
"Hehe, we all know that the word name is harmful, but there are a few people who can really detach.
Isn't it the same as Chef Huai?"
Bai Weisheng laughed: "Let's go, the King of the Five Lakes Fish is visiting the gods, plus you are the chef, and the three 'masters' in the top ten of the diligent weapon spectrum meet, such a lively scene can not be ignored!"
Huai Liangren glanced at Bai Weisheng's back angrily, and also walked towards the 'Tingtao Courtyard', but he was secretly thinking in his heart, he must not wait for Ling Zhenfeng to challenge Lao Zhou first, otherwise when he loses, even if I win him again, it will be a victory, and the ninth ranking of this diligent weapon spectrum is also not right.
There are a few god chefs in the top ten, as well as the three 'masters' on the old list, not to mention the challenge, even if you want to find them, you may not be able to find them, and even whether they are still alive in the world or whether they have descendants is uncertain, their positions are meaningless in the eyes of Huai Liangren.
He is currently ranked tenth, Zhou Dong still counts it for the time being, although he will win Lao Zhou sooner or later, but it is not now, Chef Huai thinks that he should give himself time and space to grow, but this Five Lakes Fish King Ling Zhenfeng, he is not very convinced, and he has long wanted to compare.
Zhou Dong walked out of the bamboo house and stretched his waist.
Yesterday I slept very well, and I didn't sleep all night until the sun shone into the window lattice, which also made him, who grew up in the city, experience the feeling of lying high in the hall and the sun being slow outside the window.
In order to prevent people living in the bamboo hut from being disturbed by the sound of the waterfall, under the bamboo bark plank, a thick soundproof layer was hidden with skillful hands.
This kind of craftsmanship and ingenuity, the cost of materials and labor is only fifty percent higher than the ordinary goods on the market, every time Zhou Dong asks why it is so cheap, Shen Cheng is unwilling to say it clearly, and if he is in a hurry, he will say what Chef Zhou is now promoted, right, don't take Chef Lu as his home?
Zhou Dong was very ashamed of what he said, and felt that he was a sinner......
"Forget it, Shen Gongdao and Shen Cheng are good, when I went to Lu Kitchen, they treated me and the fat man without saying anything, maybe it's really like Shen Cheng said, if the accounts are too clear, there will be no friends to do. ”
Zhou Dong smiled and shook his head, maybe he was too serious, right? If you want to say that in Kyushu Dingshi, you still have a relationship with Lu Chef, and if you ask again, it may hurt people.
Walking out of the bamboo house, standing on the platform in front of the house, and letting the waterfall overflow overhead, the whole world seems to be calm except for the rumbling sound of water.
"How comfortable this way of life is, one day I will become a chef and my illness will be completely cured, so I should let go of everything and enjoy life here.
But right now, I'm afraid it's just a luxury......"
Seeing a few figures walking on the bamboo plank road below, Zhou Dong set his eyes on Cang Yanshan and a stranger.
The stranger was also nodding and smiling at him from afar, and although he was very kind on the surface, he had an indescribable feeling, just like the way Lao Huai looked at him before.
'Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come'
Zhou Dong secretly smiled bitterly, yesterday Cang Yanshan stopped talking on the phone, only saying that a friend was going to visit with him, and also revealed some information, telling him that this friend was also on the list of weapons in the line......
Ninth place in the diligent weapons spectrum?
Now how Zhou Dong looks at Baiweisheng, he is awkward, he always feels that this person is deliberate, in order to provoke a fight between the 'masters' of diligence, is it convenient for him to eat from it?
"It's Chef Zhou on the platform, right?
Jianghuai Ling Zhenfeng, this time I have come to Chudu to meet your young grandmaster's ......"
When Ling Zhenfeng said the four words of the young grandmaster, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and smiled at Zhou Dong with a fist.
Zhou Dong smiled: "I heard what Brother Cang said, King Lingyu has worked hard all the way." ”
Six people sit around a rectangular bamboo table on the platform, and the atmosphere is very subtle.
Baiwei moved his neck vividly, and he felt very uncomfortable.
How do you say this, there are three 'masters' in the top ten of the Qinxing Weapons List who meet here, shouldn't it be a competition of cooking skills with each other, and invite him, a ready-made judge, to taste and judge?
Why did they all look at him one by one, and their eyes were not good?
"Hehe, the weather is good today, hehehe......"
Baiweisheng laughed dryly.
Others are okay, he used to be an expert in the food appreciation of the national banquet, although he was only hired temporarily, but he also had some love for Ling Zhenfeng, but now he is quite embarrassed.
Ling Zhenfeng glanced at him dissatisfiedly a few times before turning his head to Zhou Dong and smiling: "I have long heard of the name of 'Turning God Hand', and I can see it today, it is really different, hehe, no wonder Mr. Bai will be ranked eighth in the Qinxing weapon spectrum, and it is still above Ling." ”
Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "That's strange, this 'God Hand' was taken by Mr. Bai not long ago, it shouldn't be long, how could Master Ling have heard it a long time ago?"
Although the condition is much lighter than before, and who does it score, when Cang Yanshan talked on the phone yesterday, the meaning of Cang Yanshan's words was to show that this 'King of the Five Lakes Fish' was very unwilling to rank the Qinxing weapon spectrum, so Zhou Dong saw the opportunity to act.
Therefore, Zhou Dong didn't have any bad feelings towards Ling Zhenfeng, nor did he have much good feelings, and he spoke more straightforwardly.
Huai Liangren secretly gave a thumbs up when he heard it, and said in his heart, Lao Zhou, you are too upright, I like you like this.
"Uh, that's it...... Hehehe......"
It was the first time that Ling Zhenfeng had seen someone who had directly talked to death, so he couldn't answer at all, and he could only laugh dryly.
Cang Yanshan couldn't hold back a smile, and when Ling Zhenfeng was embarrassed enough, he took the initiative to divert the topic and said: "Brother Zhou, King Lingyu is here, in addition to personally visiting you, the 'God Hand', he is actually on his shoulders.
As I said before, we hope to order thirty catties and three bowls from you, but the gang and fifty catties will be reconciled, and they are going to the state banquet to entertain foreign guests.
But after all, this is a matter of national body, and it is not something that I can say alone, Lao Ling is the chef of this national banquet, and he also has the responsibility and obligation to come to the field to inspect the wine used for the banquet, so ......"
Zhou Dong frowned slightly, that is, this Ling Zhenfeng is here to score himself?
This is really strange, I didn't want to sell it at the beginning, it was Cang Yanshan who pleaded and added the righteousness of the country and the country, so I reluctantly agreed to sell some wine to him, but now I came to inspect the wine, I knew that it was so troublesome, so I didn't sell it at the beginning.
"What's the matter? Three bowls are about to be held at the state banquet!"
Huai Liang and Yan Yi's eyes were shining.
The two of them are no better than Zhou Dong, and the only purpose of becoming a kitchen god is to cure diseases, and once the goal is achieved, it is estimated that they will run to Sister Valley and become the first idler in the history of diligence;
Even Baiweisheng looked at Zhou Dong with some envy, he restudied the diligent weapon spectrum and accepted the appointment to be a food expert for the national banquet, isn't it just for a name in the end?
And what they are striving for is at their fingertips in Zhou Dong!
This is the wine for the national banquet, and Wuliangye Moutai will break its head for this opportunity!
"Well, when Brother Cang came to Chudu last time, he said that he wanted to buy some wine, but I originally refused, after all, it is a privately brewed wine, and there is no manufacturer, let alone a registered trademark or anything, it doesn't seem to be appropriate. ”
Zhou Dong didn't want to buy it at all, and these words were just excuses.
"Who would have thought that it would be so troublesome, and Master Ling would come from Kyoto to review it?
Forget it, Brother Cang, I don't have much wine to make, but I can still sell it......"
Huai Liangren sighed secretly, Niu Cha, Lao Zhou, I serve, if you want to use your wine for the national banquet, you have to take it? If this is known to the directors of those famous wineries in China, they will not vomit blood collectively?
"Don't, Brother Zhou, let's talk about this, you can't suddenly regret it. ”
Although a hundred catties of wine is not much, this national banquet is different, and there is no room for error.
Cang Yanshan panicked when he heard it, in case Zhou Yidong really turned his face and refused to sell, where could he find such a good wine temporarily?
Those famous wineries in China have sharpened their heads and drilled into him, but he can't look down on them?
Hurriedly glanced at Ling Zhenfeng, meaning that you are not quick to express your attitude? What is the personal struggle for fame and fortune in the face of collective interests! If you really provoke this young master, you will have to bear all the responsibility!
"Haha, I still have some doubts when Lao Cang praised Chef Zhou's wine, but I tasted it in the big wine vat yesterday, and I immediately sighed that this wine should only be ...... in the sky."
Ling Zhenfeng's heart also jumped, and he immediately changed his tone: "If you don't use such good wine, isn't Lao Cang blind?"
Chef Zhou doesn't have to worry about not having manufacturers and trademarks at all, Ling dares to assert that as long as your wine is on the national banquet once, it will immediately be a famous Chinese wine, and I don't know how many manufacturers will come to you with banknotes. ”
Zhou Dong smiled: "If it was to make money, Master Ling would not have drunk this wine in the big wine vat." ”
"Chef Zhou is right, but Ling is a......
Ling Zhenfeng looked at Zhou Dong, and then looked at the two jars of wine and a few side dishes that had been placed on the table, and suddenly thought about it, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard Lao Cang say that there is a kind of wine called three bowls of but Gang, but I couldn't drink it, so I decided not to go back to Kyoto for the time being, today I came to visit Chef Zhou, and second, I want to taste this famous three bowls of but Gang......
Zhou Dong nodded, pointed to a jar of wine and said: "This is three bowls of wine, but this wine is stronger, so it is also called going out to pour." ”
"That's the best, of course men want to drink spirits! ”
Ling Zhenfeng looked down at Sister Lake.
In fact, he had already seen it when he came, and there were fish in this hot spring lake!
"There seem to be fish in this lake, huh?
Hehe, as far as Ling knows, it is usually difficult to live fish in hot springs, but there are exceptions, once there is fish, it must be supremely delicious. ”
Ling Zhenfeng said with a smile: "If you don't cook other dishes, it may be average, but when it comes to making fish, I'm afraid that no one here, including Chef Zhou, can surpass me."
Therefore, it was also listed by Mr. Bai in the ninth place in the diligent weapons spectrum, just enough to see Chef Zhou's back.
Hehe...... Why don't I offer an ugly one today, make a fish for everyone to eat, and ask Chef Zhou for more advice?"
Everyone's face changed slightly when they heard this, you are the 'King of Fish of the Five Lakes', but you want others to teach you to make fish, isn't this intentional?
