"Why haven't they come yet?" said a middle-aged man in a tunic and playing with two walnuts in his hands in a lobby of the main store in Kyoto's Manhanlou main store. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's better not to come! It means that they don't have the confidence. A chubby man in a red Tang costume replied.

"Jia Buping, didn't you say last time that there was a way to bring the "Diao Ding Ji"? Why is it no longer there?" An old man in a suit with a goatee under his chin who was sitting under the fat man said loudly.

"You think it's so easy to take! You can do it!" The old man's words seemed to poke Jia Buping's sore spot, and he immediately retorted.

"I want to go, but I can't find such a good concubine. Besides, it's not good to be old! not as angry as you young people!" the old man took a sip of the tea on the table and said slowly.

"Chen Fulin, what's the benefit to you if you can't get the recipe back? Do you need to be so sarcastic about me? Don't forget, your own ass can't be clean, do you want me to shake it all out for you?" Jia Buping sneered.

"Everyone, eleven of the twelve chefs from Manhan Mansion are here today, not for you to quarrel!" A middle-aged man with a white face and beard, a round inch, and a pair of attractive ears started a round: "Let's think about what to do!"

"What else can I do? Now that Liu Mang has shares, recipes, and tokens of the patriarch of Manhanlou, and there are silent and Han Shaobai behind him to support him, it is simply the right time and place. According to the old rules, can we keep our shares?" said one chef.

"That's not visible. Jia Buping shook his head: "Even if he has everything, then it has to be agreed by the people up and down the Han Building, and we have to be convinced!"

"Yes, even if he takes back all the shares, can he guarantee that he can continue to operate Manhan Tower? We have been operating in Manhan Building for many years, and we can still take a few people with confidence. When we leave, leave an empty shelf for him, can he still jump?" said Chen Fulin, who had a goatee.

"Let's go, are you willing to pay tens of millions of dividends every year?" Jia Buping sneered: "The little wives you raise outside will cost you a lot of money every year." ”

"Jia Buping! you ......" Hearing Jia Buping expose his shortcomings, Chen Fulin stood up with a loud voice, and his whole body trembled with anger.

"Okay, two, why are you arguing again?" the middle-aged man in the round beckoned: "We don't want someone to press on our heads, and besides, it's still a hairy young man?

"Wei Changli, don't pretend to be a good person, don't think we don't know what you think, don't you just want to sit in the position of head chef?" Jia Buping sneered.

"That's right, I want to sit. But what does it matter? When I take the position of head chef, not to mention anything else, the dividends you should have every year in the future will not be less, or even more!"

"This ......" Many people in the hall fell silent.

"What are you sitting in this position, empty-handed, empty-handed, empty-handed, white-handed?"

"Technology!" Wei Changli stretched out a finger: "I have prepared a big dish for that Liu Mang, it depends on whether he can take it or not, if he retreats in the face of difficulties, then you all have to choose me." ”

"Okay, I want to see what you are capable of? I want to remind you that the title of the god of cooking is really earned by yourself, not from the sky!" Jia Buping said.

"A word is a certainty!" Wei Changli clapped his palms and laughed.

After waiting for a while, Buyu and Liu Mang finally came to the Manhan Tower.

"Master, why are we late?" walked into the Manhan Building, Liu Mang asked.

"Silly apprentice, this is called Xia Ma Wei! Don't you see those big names on TV, they are all the last to appear?"

"If you say it well, it's called Ma Wei, and if you don't say it well, it's called pretending! Anyway, it's your master's strength. Han Shaobai in the back interjected.

"Then you have to have this ability!" replied without saying a word, and then looked at the decoration of the front hall of the Manhan Building: "I haven't been here for many years, and it still hasn't changed here!"

"Yes, I think we were all in the prime of life, and when we were in high spirits, thirty years passed in a blink of an eye, and the soil was buried to the neck. Han Shaobai also sighed.

"Let's go, let's see what big dishes these old friends have prepared for us. Silent and laughing, he took Liu Mang to step on the stairs of the Manhan Tower.

"Uh...... Silent master. ”

"Master of Silence......"

By the time he walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, the chefs all stood up in unison.

Today's Manhan Lou chefs, many of them worked as errands under Bu Si back then, and some of them even got Mu Mu's own fingers, even if they were half a master, they wouldn't pass.

You can dislike this person, but you can't deny this person's success – that's what it's saying.

"Let me introduce, this is Liu Mang, who is also my personal disciple, everyone should know him. ”

"Know! Know!" Wei Changli laughed dryly: "Master Liu Mang swept Dongying, successfully applied for the World Heritage of Chinese food, and is famous in the industry, who doesn't know?"

"You may be seated, everybody. Wei Changli dragged the chair away and beckoned the three of them to sit down.

"Hey, Fuwa, why are you old like this?" After sitting down, he glanced at Chen Fulin silently, and looked surprised: "When you were playing lotus in my hand back then, you were still a young man, why do you grow a beard now?"

"Master Buyu, it's been thirty years. Hearing that Bu Shi called him by his nickname, Chen Fulin was a little embarrassed: "It's not as good as the master, I haven't seen him for so many years, but I still have the same demeanor." ”

"Jia Buping, when I was in Manhan Tower, you seemed to be a water platform worker who killed fish and chickens, right? I was bullied all day long, and I liked to hide and cry my nose, but I didn't expect to be a chef now, and I must have suffered a lot?"

"It's all gone, it's gone. Jia Buping's eyes dodged, for fear that he would shake out all the previous troubles without saying a word.

"Silent master, please drink tea. Seeing that he was silent and staring at himself, Wei Changli hurriedly took the teapot and said.

Bu Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Well, Longjing before the rain is a good tea, but I prefer to drink a little more." ”

"Wine? Yes, yes. Wei Changli hurriedly opened a bottle of wine on the table and filled a glass to Buyu.

"The 20-year-old daughter is red, the year is a little worse, make do with it. Without saying a word, he drained the glass of wine and said.

"Why don't you go and bring the 50-year-old bottle from the warehouse?" Wei Changli hurriedly ordered.

"No, I'm not here to drink this time. Bu Yu waved his hand: "You don't know the purpose of my trip, do you?"

"This ......" was silent.

"Boy, get your things out. ”

"Yes, Master. Liu Mang put the "Tune Ding Collection", King Kong Bodhi, and the equity transfer book on the table together.

Still no one spoke, everyone stared at what was on the table, not knowing what they were thinking.

"That's it, Master. After waiting for a while, Wei Changli broke the silence first: "You come from afar, take a rest first." I personally stewed a cup of 'dragon marrow and phoenix tendon soup', can you taste it and see if my skills have improved?"

"'Dragon marrow and phoenix tendon soup'? Okay! It's rare for you to be filial, so I'll give it a try. Bu Yu thought for a moment and replied.

"Alright, I'll bring it right away. After Wei Changli finished speaking, he hurriedly went down.

"I haven't heard of this dish, and I haven't seen it in "Diaoding Collection". Liu Mang asked in a low voice.

"It should be this little devil who made it up himself, and I want to give you a dismount. Bu Yu put down the wine glass: "You will definitely be recruited later, you have to be ready." ”

"No problem. ”

After a while, Wei Changli walked up with a tray, and on the tray were three white porcelain cups.

"Master silent, please use it. Wei Changli put the soup cup in front of the three of them and made a gesture of please.

Liu Mang picked up the spoon and lifted the lid of the soup cup. Suddenly, a strange aroma came to my nose.

What makes this aroma special is that it is not a floral scent, nor a spice taste, but a pure umami of the ingredients.

This umami smell is like substance, wafting into the person's nasal cavity, so that the saliva in the mouth can't help but secrete a large amount.

Liu Mang picked up the spoon and stirred the soup in the cup, and found that the soup was a little viscous, dripping slowly from the spoon like a good clear oil.

After taking a sip of it in your mouth, after the sweet taste, the extreme umami explodes on the tip of the tongue, making all the taste buds cheer.

"It turns out that these two ingredients are used!" Liu Mang tasted it carefully, then closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and understood.

"How is it?Master Liu Mang, my 'Dragon Marrow Wind Muscle Soup' still fits your taste, right?" Seeing Liu Mang stunned there, Wei Changli smiled a little proudly.

"It's nothing special, this soup is better than the ingredients, as for the level of cooking? Anyone who has been cooking for ten years can make it. Liu Mang said lightly.

"Really, then Master Liu Mang, please tell me, what two ingredients are used in my 'dragon marrow and phoenix tendon soup'?" Wei Changli asked.

Wei Changli didn't believe it, there were still people who could accurately tell the origin of the ingredients just by tasting it. Moreover, the two ingredients used in his soup are very unpopular, and most people have never heard of them, let alone taste them.

"This ......" Liu Mang hesitated.

"Say it......" Not only Wei Changli, but the other chefs in the hall were all staring at Liu Mang, and many people had gloating expressions on their faces, wanting to see how this hairy young man who had just arrived was embarrassed.

"Say it. Don't save face for them. Some people just don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, so they have to slap their faces. Silently, he took a sip of soup and said happily.

"Okay. Liu Mang nodded: "Isn't it just sturgeon fish pith and chicken tendons? If you can't even taste this, then you really haven't learned the arts!"

As soon as Liu Mang's words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone began to talk about it.

Wei Changli's face changed again and again, and finally stretched out a thumbs up: "It is worthy of being a disciple of Master Buyu, and he is really smart." ”

"What is this?" Han Shaobai next to him put down the soup: "The precious sturgeon pith matches the ordinary chicken foot tendons? Who came up with this bad idea? It's a waste of ingredients!"

"What? Chef Han, why can't I make this soup? The combination of two ingredients that are also rich in gelatinous texture makes the taste of the dragon marrow fresher and fresher, is there anything wrong with this?" Wei Changli was very angry.

"Don't you feel tired?" Han Shaobai sneered: "You don't understand the truth of being positive and negative, right? This 'dragon marrow and phoenix tendon soup' is okay for the first time, but eating too much in the mouth makes the umami stimulated sluggishly, which is simply a failure of failures." ”

"Okay, then you can teach me how to do it. Wei Changli said-for-tat.

"It's not easy!" Han Shaobai slapped his palms: "Virtuous nephew, you go and show them a hand." Look at this sturgeon pith, how to deal with the bottom to be really suitable!"

"Okay! I can't ask for it!" Hearing Han Shaobai say this, Wei Changli was overjoyed in his heart: "Then let's see how the master of Buyu taught the master deals with the dragon marrow." ”

"Uncle Shi, you're giving me a problem!" Liu Mang smiled bitterly and said softly.

"It's okay, let it go!" Han Shaobai patted Liu Mang's shoulder: "Show the dish on "Diao Ding Ji" and let these local buns see what kind of talent is worthy of being the head chef of Manhan Building!"

"Okay. Liu Mang stood up: "Excuse me, where is the kitchen of the Manhan Building?"

"Master Liu Mang, please come here!"

Everyone came to the kitchen of the Manhan Building, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, it was the temporary free time of the restaurant, and the cooks in the kitchen did not work, but enjoyed this rare rest time.

Seeing everyone coming in, these chefs all gathered around and looked lively.

"Master Liu Mang, you can take the ingredients in our kitchen, even if you don't have them, as long as you open your mouth, I will get them back for you immediately. Wei Changli said.

"No, there's a lot going on here. Liu Mang replied and walked to a aquarium placed in a corner of the kitchen.

In one of the huge boxes, there was a large fish weighing hundreds of pounds swimming in it, which was a sturgeon.

Sturgeonfish, also known as sturgeon, are divided into two types: Chinese sturgeon and Russian sturgeon.

The former is only found in the Yangtze River basin, is a migratory fish species, born in the Yangtze River, raised in the sea, and is a domestic first-class protected animal. The latter, on the other hand, live in the Caspian Sea and the Sea of Azov and are one of the most valuable fish that can be sold in the market. Both sturgeons are spindle-like and 12-14% tall. In general, it is difficult to distinguish except for a slight difference in body color.

"Master Liu Mang, do you need help?" Wei Changli said pretending to be kind.

In addition to the huge size of this fish, the strength is also very large, not to mention slaughtering, even if it is fished out of the fish tank, it is also a hard work, and one person can't do it at all.

"No need. What Wei Changli didn't expect was that Liu Mang shook his head and simply refused.

"Just give me a long towel. ”
