Chapter 54 Tianfu Chuanxiang Building

Wan Chongtian 60 birthday selected four major cuisines, Huaiyang cuisine, Confucian cuisine, Su cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, and Tianfu Chuanxianglou is the best Sichuan restaurant in Kaifeng. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Qingyu, the shopkeeper of Tianfu Chuanxiang Building, is a delicate person with a kind smile on his face at all times, but today he is about to cry.

Zhang Baiwei, the chef in the building, has not appeared until now, Zhang Baiwei is an old man in Tianfu Chuanxiang Building, he has been in the building for twenty-one years, eleven months and twenty-one days, and not a day is late, except for today. This afternoon, the cooks of Tianfu Chuanxianglou will be stationed in the General's Mansion to prepare for tomorrow's feast. Zhang Baiwei is the backbone of the building, the pillar, it can be said that Tianfu Chuanxianglou has today's status in the capital, Zhang Baiwei can be regarded as the first work, if a table of banquet without Zhang Baiwei's guidance, it is just a table of mediocre Sichuan cuisine. Li Qingyu didn't want to make an ordinary home-cooked meal at the banquet that should have been beautiful tomorrow, not to mention that several Sichuan gourmets in the court would definitely attend.

The groups of people sent out to find Zhang Baiwei had returned, and he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without even a little news. Li Qingyu was so anxious that he was about to hit the wall, and suddenly the guy ran in in a panic and shouted: "Shopkeeper, Old Man Zhang sent someone!"

A man and a woman came in, the man was dressed in gray, his clothes were dotted with oil stains, his hair was tied up with a two-color rope, and he was carrying an iron pot on his back. Li Qingyu was a little puzzled and asked, "Who are you?"

"It's Shopkeeper Li" Although the man was dressed simply, he spoke faintly with arrogance: "Old man Zhang's hometown has an emergency, so he rushed back overnight and begged me to make a banquet for him!"

Zhang ...... Old man Zhang, "Whether it is the guy from Tianfu Chuanxianglou or the famous chef in the capital, whoever sees Zhang Baiwei has to call Old Man Zhang, this man is only in his early twenties at most, how dare he be so presumptuous!"

Seeing that Li Qingyu was a little puzzled, the man threw out a piece of letter paper and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I and Old Man Zhang are fellow villagers, I wouldn't care about this kind of thing of making a name for others!"

Li Qingyu took the letter and said in his heart, "Old man Zhang's fellow countryman, listening to the accent is an authentic Shuzhong accent, but how can Old Man Zhang let such a young man take over what important banquet?" Randomly unfolded the letter, only to see that the paper read: "Brother Qingyu, I suddenly heard bad news yesterday, the old mother at home is seriously ill, and she is dying, I only hope to see my son, so I have to close my eyes, without further ado, I can only return to my hometown overnight, and I hope that my old brother will forgive his sins." The person who holds the letter is the same as me, and the cooking skills of Sichuan cuisine are not inferior to me, and the general's banquet is enough to be competent, and please treat me with courtesy. At the end, he hastily drew a spoon, as soon as he saw this flower, Li Qingyu had no doubts, he had been friends with Li Baiwei for many years, and he recognized this flower.

Li Qingyu put away the letter, looked at the two people in front of him, and said, "I don't know the surname of the little brother, where did he learn from?" Although there is no longer any doubt about the identity of the two, the stakes are very high.

This man and woman are Tang Wanfeng and Yan Feijin, Tang Wanfeng came up with this method to infiltrate Tianfu Chuanxiang Building after careful consideration, and immediately said: "Shuzhong, Baihualou, Tang Yiya." ”

Hearing this name, the cooks present were a little commotion, and they all said in their hearts, "This kid is too arrogant, Yi Ya is the name of the chef in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is the kitchen god in the minds of the cooks, how can this kid dare to call himself this name!"

"Forgive me for being arrogant" Tang Wanfeng ignored the commotion of others, and said: "Literary examination or martial arts examination? Come on!" Seeing him so domineering, Yan Feijin secretly complained in his heart: "This Young Master Tang can cook, this exam is not fully exposed, what can I do?" But seeing Tang Wanfeng's calm face, he said in his heart: "Could it be that in addition to killing people, he is also a good cook?"

"Offended over there!" Li Qingyu originally had the intention of assessing Tang Wanfeng, and asked: "There is a dish in Sichuan cuisine called 'Dengying Beef', does Chef Tang know the origin of this dish?"

A true chef must not only cook a good dish, but also have a clear understanding of the allusions and origins of the famous dishes in the cuisine.

Tang Wanfeng said lightly: "Yuan Zhen, who supervised the imperial history of the imperial court in the previous dynasty, offended the eunuchs and general conservative officials, and was demoted to Tongzhou, Sichuan Province to serve as Sima Yi's profession, and suddenly one day went to the hotel to drink, the beef slices in the appetizer dish are thin and fragrant, and there is no slag in the entrance, he is quite admired, and the name is called the lamp shadow beef, and the lamp shadow refers to the local 'shadow puppet play', that is to say, the beef should be almost transparent, this dish is a compulsory dish for Sichuan chefs to get started and practice knife skills, is the shopkeeper Li a little underestimated?"

Yan Feijin was a little worried at first, but seeing Tang Wanfeng's decent answer, he said in his heart: "I really underestimated him, it turns out that he really has some ability." Li Qingyu is the shopkeeper of Tianfu Chuanxianglou, and he is naturally clear about the cultural allusions of Sichuan cuisine, Tang Wanfeng's answer is impeccable, and he said in his heart: "This young man really has two brushes." ”

Immediately, he said, "Mr. Tang is right, but isn't it the next dish to cook?" Obviously, this literary exam has passed, and the next step is the martial arts exam.

"Whatever you want!" Tang Wanfeng still said in a faint tone. At this time, the surrounding cooks were in a commotion, you must know that Sichuan cuisine has been inherited for a hundred years, and there are 38 kinds of cooking methods such as stir-frying, slipping, exploding, stir-frying, slipping, boiling, and frying, and nearly 1,000 kinds of dishes, even Zhang Baiwei categorically did not dare to be so arrogant here.

"Say it, Taibai duck, Pixian subfish, mapo tofu, as long as you can say it, you will make it in the next!"

"It's too loud, isn't it?" finally a cook couldn't hold it anymore and called out.

Li Qingyu raised his hand and said, "Don't bother too much, just ask Mr. Tang to teach you a dish of back pot meat!"

Tang Wanfeng squinted at Li Qingyu and said: "The simpler the dish, the more it can show the skill of the cook, Shopkeeper Li is such a master, and he underestimates Your Excellency a little." ”

"Well said, well said!" Speaking of which, Li Qingyu also narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Tang Wanfeng, just like two peerless swordsmen looking at their opponents before the battle.

"Miss Yan boil water! Add hard firewood and boil until it boils!" Tang Wanfeng said with a great chef's momentum, Yan Feijin was stunned, but involuntarily took the iron pot from Tang Wanfeng's hand and began to boil water. Tang Wanfeng selected a piece of pork with three layers of flowers, put it into the boiling water as soon as the water boiled, added peppercorns and ingredients, covered the pot, and said in one go, and then said loudly: "Big bowl of ice water, quickly!" When the ice water is brought and the meat is boiled, Tang Wanfeng scoops the meat, puts the meat in the ice water and soaks it, takes it out immediately, and cuts it with a knife.

"It's okay, time is tight, let's do this dish here. Li Qingyu suddenly said: "Chef Tang's knife skills are only above Old Man Zhang, and the pork belly soaked in ice water is more firm and delicious, no one before could think of cooking with this method, I believe that Chef Tang will be able to make an unprecedented Sichuan feast!"

"Then what are you waiting for, don't leave soon, it's too late to go to the General's Mansion and it's going to be closed." Tang Wanfeng said casually, as if he was the big shopkeeper of Tianfu Chuanxiang Building.

"Okay! All the guys are at Chef Tang's disposal. Li Qingyu even said in a light tone.
