Chapter Ninety-Nine: Colorful Roasted Mushrooms

At Beijing Airport, Su Ruotong and Tao Xian sat in the car, waiting to pick up people.

Su's Restaurant sent Bao Ruwen's eldest apprentice to be the chef, and asked Li Hongxing to bring a little apprentice who had only been four or five years old to come and be the second chef. If Su Ruotong hadn't stopped him, even the waiter would have to be appointed from there.

You don't need to ask Su Ruotong to know that when the kitchen heard about it, it must have been torn apart, and in the end, it was Bao Ruwen, the old fritter, who won.

Bao Ruwen's eldest apprentice is called Zhao Fakai, he is forty-four years old this year, and he has been a cook for 20 years, not only Bao Ruwen's eldest apprentice, but he recognized Bao Ruwen as his godfather a few years ago, and learned Bao Ruwen's ninety percent of his skills.

As for the second chef sent by Jiang Mingming, he is a very clever young man, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who first worked as a waiter in Su's Restaurant, and later proposed to apply for a chef, starting from the small things of sweeping the floor and washing dishes in the kitchen, and now he can also fry two decent side dishes.

Picking up Zhao Fakai and Jiang Mingming, Su Ruotong looked at his watch: "Let's go back, there are less than two hours before the evening will open, I have prepared the ingredients for the evening meal, and in the next twenty days, you will all cook with me, our diners are very high-tasted, I hope you can build your own standards a little higher." ”

Zhao Fakai nodded vigorously: "Miss Su, don't worry! Before I left, the master told me a thousand times, and everything was under your orders." ”

When he arrived at the back kitchen, Su Ruotong began to supervise Zhao Fakai to cook dinner at night.

For each table of four, she prepares five dishes, one soup and one meal, as well as an after-dinner dessert, the most brilliant of which is a multi-flavored roasted mushroom.

Su Ruotong asked Jiang Ming to cut porcini mushrooms, and said: "The main ingredients for tonight's dinner are all mushrooms, and there is a big vegetable market behind the street, but if you want to buy better mushrooms, or other side ingredients, you must make a reservation with the boss in advance, like the mushrooms we use to make roasted miscellaneous mushrooms today, which are booked in advance." ”

Zhao Fakai looked at the mushrooms that Su Ruotong had placed on the cooking table, and his eyes were not enough.

He has been a chef for so many years, and he comes with ingredients from all over the world, but he doesn't know some mushrooms in front of him at all, but he has never heard of them.

Su Ruotong's plain white hand pointed to those mushrooms and introduced them to him: "These are the long-skirted bamboo sunflower, the black saddle mushroom, the honey ring mushroom, the golden top side ear, the pink purple mushroom, the blood red rivet mushroom, the macular red mushroom, the green mushroom, the brown branch fungus, the orange yellow leather, the flame ear, the golden fungus, ......."

Zhao Fakai swallowed his saliva, if he didn't believe in Su Ruotong very much, Su Ruotong said that if it is not poisonous, it is not poisonous, and he changed himself, just looking at the color of these mushrooms, he would definitely throw them all out, because there are a few mushrooms that are too showy, according to the public's thinking of identifying mushrooms, they will definitely think that they will die if they eat it.

"There are many recipes for grilled mushrooms, and what we want to pursue is not only the taste, but also the beauty. So today's roasted mushrooms need to use multi-flavored butter, and you will make multi-flavored butter, right?"

"This!" Zhao Fakai hesitated, but decided to tell the truth: "I heard Chef Charlie say the method, I remember, but I haven't done it before." His side is a Western restaurant, and the chef and I mainly cook Chinese food, so it shouldn't be difficult. ”

"It's not difficult, today we use special multi-flavored butter, because the mushrooms are very fresh, so we make multi-flavored butter, which can have more flavor, in addition to the basic ingredients, but also add condensed milk, you can make it." ”

Su Ruotong nodded to Zhao Fakai and waited for Zhao Fakai to make a move.

The multi-flavored butter recipe is very simple, and after a quarter of an hour, Zhao Fakai is done, and the finished product is put into molds and frozen in the freezer.

Su Ruotong was satisfied, this Zhao Fakai cooks in a disciplined manner, according to his level, ordinary diners should not have any opinions because of the change of chef.

"When dealing with mushrooms next, what we want to pursue is that the mushrooms have a crispy and aromatic texture on the top, and the juice on the bottom, and at the same time, they are beautifully presented......

When Su Ruotong was guiding Zhao Fakai, Tao Xian came in and said, "Tongtong, come here." ”

Su Ruotong raised his eyebrows and looked at him, walked out of the kitchen, Tao Xian held his mobile phone, and said: "One of my elders booked a seat the night after tomorrow, and I heard that we are serving according to the head, so I want to bring my grandfather and another elder to the table to eat together." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Su Ruotong with mixed feelings, waiting for her response.

But Su Ruotong didn't have any extra expression, and said, "Oh, I know." ”

Tao Xian was stunned.

In his imagination, Su Ruotong should say to him: "Will it be too fast to meet your parents so early." Or a rare shyness: "Then I won't come the night after tomorrow, you are here to entertain grandpa." Even a little bit of a female man: "I must treat my grandfather well, your grandfather is my grandfather." ”

What the hell is such a "Oh, got it"?

Tao Xian looked at Su Ruotong's black grape-like eyes: "Tongtong, I want to know if you mind this matter, if you mind, I will tell my grandfather not to come." And he is old and rarely goes out, and I am also worried that he will come out and bump into ......" The further he said, the more panicked Tao Xian's heart became, and the quieter his voice became.

He was in a mess in his heart, he didn't know whether to blame Su Ruotong or blame himself, and even had a feeling of weakness.

Basically, he never told Su Ruotong about his family, and occasionally mentioned it in a hurry. However, he felt that it was unfair, because he had been to Su's house so many times, and he knew Su Ruotong's father and even the mother who had been away from home for many years, but Su Ruotong never told him that he wanted to know his family.

He didn't want to talk about his family, and Su Ruotong didn't want to know them at all, so they were two concepts, okay?

Now that he has met his grandfather, who has a family relationship and his closest contact, comes to eat, Su Ruotong still reacts like this, Tao Tao is wronged!

Su Ruotong turned around and looked at Zhao Fakai, who was facing all kinds of mushrooms with a difficult expression: "It really doesn't matter, although there are few tables in the store, but it is not very crowded, we didn't hire a waiter last night, that little girl is very careful, and she will definitely take care of grandpa for dinner." ”

Seeing that Su Ruotong still treated the guests with an attitude, and even hurried back to the kitchen, Tao Xian clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't say a word in his mouth.

Obviously, his heart felt like a bucket of cold water had been splashed, but Tao Xian still reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Well, you think very thoughtfully." ”

Su Ruotong faintly felt that Tao Xian's mood was suddenly low, and he was not in a hurry to go back to the kitchen, and asked him: "Tao Xian, are you unhappy." ”

"Oh no, I'm fine. ”

"When you say it's okay, Bacheng is in trouble, why are you unhappy? If you ask, we will push off the reservation guests the night after tomorrow and only receive your grandfather, okay?" Su Ruotong keenly felt that Tao Xian was unhappy, and it had something to do with his grandfather coming to dinner.

"There's no need to delay the business of the store for grandpa, he can't eat much by himself. Tao Xian said.

"Your grandfather is an elder, you can ask him to bring more guests over for dinner, it's okay. ”

Tao Xian glanced at Su Ruotong strangely and said, "You know who my grandfather is, his friends are all famous chefs in the capital. ”

"Yes, Master Tao Yide, you helped my family renovate the restaurant at that time, which is what your grandfather meant, and my father wanted to visit your grandfather in person last time he came, but I was afraid that it would be too offended, and it would make your family feel that he was scolding your family......

"What's the matter, is it possible that when my grandfather comes to dinner in a few days, you will also think that he is stammering my family. Tao Xian's face darkened significantly.

Other women want to see his family, but he still won't let him see it, and now his grandfather is rushing to send it to Su Ruotong to see him, and Su Ruotong still doesn't set off firecrackers to celebrate, saying these nonsense words to him. He doesn't listen!

"You think about it yourself, you don't want to see my grandfather say it directly. Tao Xian put down his words, obviously annoyed.

Zhao Fakai had been listening to Su Ruotong and Tao Xian at the food delivery window, and when he heard Tao Yide's name, his ears moved, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

Oh my God, Master Tao, it's actually Master Tao!

Although Master Tao has not cooked for a long time because of the lawsuit between his two apprentices more than ten years ago for the inheritance and registration of Tao's personal inheritance, he has not cooked for a long time, but his reputation is still well-known, and he is simply a star and national treasure in the culinary industry.

This little Mr. Tao is actually Tao Yide's grandson, and in a few days, Tao Yide will eat the food he cooked, Zhao Fakai's excited hands began to tremble, this time in the capital, he really came to the wrong place.

Zhao Fakai stared at Su Ruotong's back, and silently urged in his heart: "Quickly persuade Mr. Xiao Tao, Miss Su!"

Su Ruotong didn't understand why Tao Xian lost her temper again inexplicably, she obviously said that she could push other guests for Tao Yide, how could Tao Xian still be yin and yang.

However, Su Ruotong has been with him for a while, and he knows Tao Xian better, knowing that he usually looks similar, but in fact, he has a lot of small temperament, so he said gently: "I am very willing to receive Mr. Tao, but I don't know much about this, and I want you to tell me what to do." ”

Tao Xian's face softened a little, and said: "The first time I saw my family, in fact, it doesn't have to be so grand, you dress up beautifully the day after tomorrow, it's best to cook it yourself, wait for the dishes to be ready, sit with my grandfather for a while, talk, and I will remind you next to me." ”

Su Ruotong was stunned for a moment, always feeling that something was wrong, and waited for Tao Xian to finish speaking, before asking him: "Then do you want to receive other guests the night after tomorrow?"

Tao Xian struggled and waved his hand: "I will call the rest of the guests and tell them not to come." ”

"Oh!" Su Ruotong said: "Then it's okay, I'll go back first, and I will continue to tell Zhao Fakai about cooking." ”

Tao Xian only felt satisfied, a little apprehensive in his heart, and very much looking forward to it, nodded happily, and immediately went to contact the person who had booked the seat.

Su Ruotong looked at him and shook his head.

Seeing that Su Ruotong had done Tao Xian, Zhao Fakai was excited, and as soon as Su Ruotong entered the kitchen, he said: "Miss Su, let's tell Mr. Su about this, Mr. Su knows, he must be happy, his hair has turned gray these days, there should be good news." ”

Su Ruotong turned around and stared at Zhao Fakai tightly: "What's the matter? Why is my father's hair so gray that he is worried." ”

Zhao Fakai was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, and he wanted to slap himself, he had nothing to say, but he still replied: "Miss Su, don't you know?"
