Chapter 495: Tai Sui Ginseng Soup

This can of 'Tai Sui ginseng soup' is still simmering on the stove, and everyone in the box over there has already drunk it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Master Liu Mang, I toast you. Kong Ruiming picked up the goblet glass, which was full of a glass of wine that was as amber in color and exuded a faint fruity aroma.

"I respect you too, Master Kong. Thank you for your continued support. Liu Mang picked up the cup and touched it lightly, and drank it all.

"This wine is good!" Kong Ruiming also drained the wine in the glass, smacked his lips and savored it: "The entrance is soft, and the aftertaste has a faint fruity aroma, what kind of wine is this?"

"This wine is called a pool of spring water, and I brew it according to the ancient method. Liu Mang replied.

"No wonder!" Kong Ruiming nodded, and admired sincerely: "Master Liu Mang, you are really an all-rounder!"

"Come, come, come, everyone, eat vegetables, today are all our upstairs specialties. Li Ruonan greeted.

"Yes! These dishes are all set by Chef Liu Mang. Tan Shi picked up a piece of fat and thin, red, oily pork belly from the plate on the table and put it into his mouth and asked.

In addition to the beautiful color, the taste of this meat is also quite good, in addition to being fat but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and has a faint aroma of grass and trees, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.

"Well, it should be braised after tying straw, otherwise it won't smell. Tan Shi pursed his mouth and quickly distinguished. "Daoxiang Dongpo meat, a very creative dish!"

"Try this again. Liu Mang took a pair of chopsticks, which were pitch black, and the eel stained with sesame seeds was sent to Tan Shi's bowl.

"Liangxi crispy eel, there are not many people who can make this dish. And it can be done so authentically, which is even rarer. Tan Shi picked up the eel segment and put it in his mouth, and after chewing it slightly, he was amazed.

The method of this dish is not complicated, but whether it is authentic or not depends on whether the chef has carried out a second re-frying and whether he has completely dried up the water in the eel section, which is still a test of the chef's skills.

When you bite into it, there is a crisp eel under the fluffy skin. Even so simply that Tan Shi could clearly hear the clicking sound from his teeth.

The sauce is sweet and salty, evenly wrapped around the eel, and blends with the burnt aroma of the eel, creating a constant taste shock in the mouth.

"Well, the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes!" Tan Shi nodded again and again: "This chef's skills are not simple! ”

"President Tan, it's still a female chef who cooks today. Li Ruonan laughed: "In the next Chef God Competition, you will definitely be able to see her in the finals." ”

"It's amazing!" Tan Shi was shocked again.

To open a restaurant to make money, it is not enough to rely on one person, and you must have a strong team behind it. Looking at the level of the dishes on the table today, they are all the level of top chefs. also knows how Liu Mang recruited these people.

What Tan Shi didn't know was that Liu Mang gave everyone another salary increase before going to the United States. In addition, it is stipulated that 30% of the profit will be used every month to reward employees according to the level of their positions.

Thirty percent? That's a big deal, according to the current profit upstairs, just a single person can get more than 500,000 yuan a month. Other chefs can also get an additional reward of more than 100,000 to 200,000 a month.

This reward can be called the highest in the industry, which also made many of the chefs who originally just wanted to learn some skills and left, completely dispelled their thoughts and decided to follow Liu Mang with all their hearts.

You must know that there are risks and profits and losses in opening your own store, which is far less powerful than working here.

This also led to the fact that in the kitchen of Liu Mang's head office, even if he was a small worker who washed vegetables and killed fish, he could support a restaurant when he ran outside.

Liu Mang and Li Ruonan's thinking is like this, the upstairs head office, in addition to representing the image of the upstairs, is more important to train personnel, as the talent reserve base of other branches, a steady stream of new blood for the expansion of the branches.

In this way, in addition to the taste of the dishes, the branch and the main store are kept the same, and accidents due to staff loss can also be prevented.

In the catering industry, in addition to operation, the quality of dishes always comes first, and there is no substitute for machines. If you want to open a restaurant for a long time and become bigger and stronger, talent is the biggest foundation.

"Eat slowly, the soup on my stove should be ready. After the three rounds of wine and the five flavors of the dishes, Liu Mang looked at the time and stood up.

"Master Liu Mang, go ahead, I can't wait for a long time. Hearing that Tai Sui is finally going to get better, Kong Ruiming said excitedly.

Liu Mang came to the back kitchen, first removed the wet towel covering the top of the urn, and then uncovered the lid.

Suddenly, a fresh and sweet heat burst out of the crockpot and rushed to the face.

"Well, it tastes good!" Liu Mang scooped a little with a spoon and tried the taste, and was very satisfied.

Tai Sui, like bird's nest and shark fin, does not have much flavor in itself, but only the extreme umami and special taste.

Liu Mang added a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and then scooped it into the soup cup that had been prepared in the morning.

I left two cups out, and then put the rest on the tray and prepared to take it to the box.

"Little Jane, there is still a lot of soup in the jar, you will give everyone a point. Liu Mang commanded.

"Understood. Shan Jian smiled sweetly.

This boss is really good, and he thinks about others everywhere. It's like raising wages, every time you don't have to mention it yourself, it will automatically increase when the time comes, and every time it far exceeds their expectations.

"Is it finally here?" When Liu Mang walked into the box with the stewed soup, everyone stood up with a look of anticipation.

This is Tai Sui! It's a rarity that exists in legends. Usually don't talk about eating, even if you see it, it's rare to see it.

You can brag about it laterβ€”that's what most people in the box think.

"Well, it's so fresh!" lifted the lid of the soup cup, and Tan Shi took a deep breath.

You don't need to taste this umami, you can smell it just by smelling it.

Carefully scooped up a spoonful and blew a few breaths, Tan Shi put it into his mouth and took a sip gently: "This...... There's ginseng in there?"

In addition to the deliciousness of the chicken broth and Tai Sui stewed together, wild ginseng has a refreshing smell at the base of the tongue, which relieves the oiliness and lifts people's spirits.

After taking a sip of soup, Tan Shi picked up a piece of Tai Sui with chopsticks.

"Good knife skills!" Tan Shi couldn't help but praise again.

Tai Sui cut it with a phoenix tail knife method, and after a long time of stewing, he was completely tired and shrunk, and he shook it on the chopsticks, really like the tail feathers of a phoenix.

Sent to the mouth to chew, Tai Sui's taste made Tan Shi completely unexpected.

At first, he thought that the meat of this Tai Sui should be very tender, and if it was in the form of soup, it would ruin its tender taste.

But I never expected that this Tai Sui now tastes a bit like pork belly, more like beef tendon. After high temperature stewing, it destroys its own meat fiber, making it soft and elastic, which is very palatable.

"How's it going, everyone, does this taste okay?" Lin Xiao asked after taking a few bites of half of the soup.

"It's really fresh to the bones!" Kong Ruiming admired: "Thanks to Master Liu Mang, even Qin Shi Huang can't eat something, and today we can taste it." ”

"Of course, you don't see how much money Brother Liu has made. Lin Xiao scooped up a piece of Tai Sui and put it in his mouth to chew: "In addition to this Tai Sui, I also added a six-grade wild ginseng, I feel that it is replenished when I think about it!"

"Liupin wild ginseng?" Hearing Lin Xiao's words, everyone gasped in unison.

Now it is difficult to find the five grades of wild ginseng on the market, and occasionally the auction price starts at several million, so how much should the six-grade one be sold for?

"Master Liu Mang's hospitality is really unbearable!" Tan Shi was embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's good that everyone likes to drink it. You've worked so hard during this time, and I really don't know how to thank you all enough. A little heart is not a tribute. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Then we're welcome. Tan Shi picked up the spoon again, holding the soup cup in his hand like holding a gold ingot, for fear of wasting a single bit.

The meal lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.

After eating, regardless of Liu Mang's retention, everyone went their separate ways. It's been more than two months since I left home, and these cooking bigwigs also want to go home early.

Lin Xiao originally refused to leave, saying that he was going to talk to Liu Mangbing at night, but he was taken away by Gu Qianyao, saying that he had been away from home for more than two months, and it was time to go home to meet his parents.

"Go to your house first, or go to my house first?" asked Liu Mang, who was standing at the door of the restaurant and watching everyone leave.

"Of course, I went to your house first. Li Ruonan grabbed Liu Mang's arm: "It's been a long time since I've visited the two old people, so I'll go and prepare a gift first." ”

"What kind of gift, it's too out-of-the-box. Liu Mang said.

"How can I do that? I've already bought the gift in the United States, I'll take it out, you wait for me for a while. After Li Ruonan finished speaking, he walked inside.

"Boss, do you want to use the car?" Five Eyes pulled out the Mercedes Benz keys.

"No need, if the man's driver will send us there, you will drive this car in the future, and I will buy one when I get my driver's license." ”

"Boss, I'll go see my uncle and aunt tomorrow. I'll have to go to the hospital in a while, and I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you in the afternoon. Five Eyes said.

"What are you doing in the hospital?" Liu Mang said in surprise.

"Uh...... Yang Yan was recently diagnosed as pregnant, and today I am going to accompany her to the hospital for a follow-up. ”

"Good boy! such a big thing is still hidden!" Liu Mang became excited, and punched Wuyan in the chest: "Is it a man or a woman?"

"I don't know yet, it's not all the same. Five-eyed laughed, his face full of joy to be a father.

"What are you talking about?" Li Ruonan walked out of the restaurant with a large bag and a small bag.

"Ruonan, Xiao Wu is going to be a father!"

"Really, so fast?" Li Ruonan's eyes widened: "Fatty, you guys are very neat." ”

"Hey, hey!" Eyes scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.

"Okay, you go and accompany Yang Yan! I will ask others to watch the affairs of the winery, and grant you a few months off. Li Ruonan said.

"Then thank you, big sister. Five-eyed leaned over and walked away happily.

"Time is so fast! In a blink of an eye, Xiao Wu is actually going to be a father. After the five eyes left, Liu Mang said with emotion.

"yes! I don't know why, Li Ruonan's mood at this moment quickly fell: "Liu Mang......"

"What's wrong?" Liu Mang noticed Li Ruonan's abnormality and reached out to wrap his arms around her shoulders.

"It's nothing ......" Li Ruonan shook his head, and then laughed: "When the child is born in a few months, we will be his godfather and godmother, okay?"

"Okay!" Liu Mang nodded: "Aunt Li, hello." ”

"How are you, Daddy Liu!"

The car stopped in the Yanluohu villa area in the southeast district. Before Liu Mang left the United States, he originally planned to buy another villa for his parents to live in, but later he wanted to buy a villa and decorate it, and Li Ruonan would blame him for seeing the outside when he knew about it, so he had to give up.

Anyway, Liu Mang now has a career and has confidence in his heart, and he has long since lost the idea of thinking that he was eating soft rice.

"Quick, come in!" Liu Mang's parents knew that they were back, and they were waiting outside the door of the villa early in the morning.

"Uncle, aunt is good!" Li Ruonan smiled sweetly. "Have you eaten? I'll do it right away. Liu Mang's mother took Li Ruonan's hand and asked.

"Mom, we've already eaten at the restaurant. Liu Mang replied, then took out the two servings of 'Tai Sui Ginseng Soup' that he had just packed in the restaurant from the plastic bag, and put them in the microwave to heat: "Mom and Dad, this soup is to replenish qi and blood, you must remember to drink it." ”

"Uncle and aunt, this is the wine and cashmere sweater I brought for you, as well as some local American products. Li Ruonan handed over the gift in his hand.

"Come on, what else do you want to buy?" Liu Mang's mother said angrily.

"Forget it, I won't talk to you, let's go upstairs and talk. After chatting a few words, seeing that his parents were about to start a tirade again, Liu Mang hurriedly pulled Li Ruonan upstairs.

"Mom and Dad, this soup should be drunk while it is hot, it will have no effect when it is cold. ”

"Understood, understood...... This kid. ”

"Is this you?" came to the room where he lived upstairs, and at Li Ruonan's request, Liu Mang moved out of his family's photo album.

"yes, isn't it?"

"It's not like!" Li Ruonan looked at Liu Mang and smiled: "It's like a second dog!"

In the photo, Liu Mang looks like he is at most eleven or twelve years old, standing on a big rock with some spirit. With a pair of plastic slippers on his feet, a pair of big shorts on his lower body, and a loose tank top on his upper body, his whole body is tanned, and his face and hair are still stained with leaves and grass roots.

"Isn't it always like this before, this picture is when I was in the fifth grade, and I happened to come back from fishing in the ditch that day, and a relative from home brought a camera and took a picture of me. ”

Liu Mang...... I ......" After reading the photos of Liu Mang when he was a child, Li Ruonan wanted to speak and stopped.

"I know what you're thinking. Liu Mang sat next to Li Ruonan and gently squeezed her hand: "Don't worry, in the future, we will have children like Yang Yan and Xiao Wu." ”

"Okay, how many are there?" Li Ruonan raised his head, his eyes flashed, full of longing.

"Raw...... Give birth to a litter ......"
