"It's over, I'll tell Yang Yan, how can I lose weight by staying with the boss?" After eating the goose, Wuyan looked at his bulging belly and wanted to cry without tears.

The two geese weighed about eight or nine pounds, Lin Xiao and Liu Mang ate a small part, and the rest went into the belly of the five-eyed guy.

"Do you still blame me?" Liu Mang was a little funny: "I told you not to eat it, but there were no bones left." ”

"I can't help it. Five-eyed sighed, "I guess if it continues like this, it will soon be bigger than my wife's belly." ”

"The main thing is that there is too little exercise, why didn't I watch you get fat last time I recorded the show?" Liu Mang looked disdainful: "From tomorrow onwards, go out and run a few kilometers every morning, it will definitely have an effect." ”

"Fatty, how long does Yang Yan have to live?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Well, it's four months away. Five-eyed folded his fingers and counted, and replied.

"Haha, I'm going to be the child's godfather then. Lin Xiao smiled.

"No problem, you just need to get the red envelope ready. ”

Just as the three of them were laughing in the kitchen, a chef from Manhan House ran in: "Chef, today is the day of the kitchen food tasting, do you want to go over and have a look?"

"Taste?" Liu Mang nodded.

"Holy! Why didn't you say it earlier, if you had known I'd have saved some stomach!" "Five-Eyes wailed.

Food tasting is something that the restaurant has to do every quarter. Due to the seasonality of many ingredients, restaurants need to introduce new dishes or seasonal dishes for a period of time.

Whenever a restaurant tries a dish, it is time to test the ability of a restaurant chef. Because the chef's taste and cooking skills will determine the taste of the dishes to be launched in the next season.

When he came to the big kitchen, Liu Mang found that everyone was waiting: "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't know I had to try dishes today." ”

"It's okay, everyone is ready, chef, you can taste it. Jia Bufan greeted him and said.

"Okay. Liu Mang nodded and sat down at the prepared long table.

"The chef has arrived, so let's get started. Jia Bufan commanded.

With an order, the kitchen of Manhanlou immediately became lively, and the sound of pots and pans colliding was endless, and the ensemble played a special music.

Soon, one dish after another was brought from the stove to the table in front of Liu Mang.

"Chef Liu Mang, these dishes are fish every year, fish maw in soup, colorful fish maw cup, gold medal fish cake, fish roll in raw sauce, fish in lihua water, chrysanthemum fish in tomato sauce, riding the wind and waves, Manchu rich toothfish roll, three crispy fish belly ......" A chef stood at the table and introduced.

"My mother, that's so many!" Five-eyed widened.

"It's just fish. Lin Xiao burped: "I knew that I would try the dishes today, and I wouldn't be making a fuss about eating roast goose." ”

Liu Mang first picked up the water cup on the table and rinsed his mouth, then picked up the chopsticks and tasted each dish.

"Chef, how is it? Do you have any opinions?" asked Jia Bufan.

"The soup used in the soup is still a little less heated, and the fish belly in the three crispy fish belly is fried a little old, and it is perfect if it is so tender. There is too much starch in the gold medal fish cake, which affects the taste of the fish......"

Liu Mang's small flaws in these dishes are eloquent, and many of the faults are in one sentence.

Now the chefs in the kitchen look like Liu Mang's eyes are different. Although Liu Mang had already shocked them when he slaughtered the sturgeon, many people were still a little unconvinced.

After all, there is a specialization in art, and even the best chef can't do every dish. But now Liu Mang's comments are exactly the crux of their dishes, which is really remarkable.

You must know that many of these dishes on the table are not only eaten for the first time, but also seen for the first time.

There are so many dishes that it is difficult to taste them all, even in a lifetime.

The reason why Liu Mang can comment on the current dishes is because he has completely understood the principles and techniques of Chinese cooking.

It's like asking a college student to solve a problem for an elementary school student, although he has never seen this question, he can easily write the answer.

After tasting the dishes on the table, the chefs immediately withdrew and served a new batch.

"Chef, this is jade lobster balls, clear soup double dragon stew, Tai Chi crab meat snow clam soup, thick sauce crab meat three fresh, flame baked clams, pepper stuffed bamboo clams, rice fragrant stuffed bamboo clams, chrysanthemum rugby, mandarin duck scallop dumplings, green bamboo rich scallops, bamboo basket radish stewed crab, snowflake best crab, crab roe chrysanthemum wing cup, ......"

Not to mention the dishes, just this dish made the five eyes sitting next to Liu Mang dizzy.

"I really want to eat it, but I can't eat it. Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table in front of him, Wuyan only forked a chopstick for each of them, and he hiccuped.

"The flame clam is too old, pay attention to the time when baking. Marinate the razor clams in ginger juice before cooking, and although you expect it to be heavy, connoisseurs can still taste the fishy smell inside. Don't use group wings in the crab yellow chrysanthemum wing cup, you have to use the wings of sea tiger or above, those who can afford to eat this dish will not care about the price, it doesn't matter if the raw materials are used well......" Liu Mang tasted it, and then commented.

"I see, Chef. Some of the chefs who were watching nodded their heads.

"Don't be stunned, let's try it. As the saying goes, it is difficult to reconcile all opinions, and my opinions alone do not represent everything. We don't talk about it, so if you have any ideas and suggestions, just put them forward. Liu Mang greeted.

"Okay. In addition to the chef who was still cooking on the stove, the other chefs in Manhanlou also picked up chopsticks and tasted them, and put forward their opinions from time to time.

"By the way, who makes the eighteen secret dishes of Manhan Tower?" Liu Mang asked after tasting this batch of dishes.

"The eighteen secret dishes are all made by the chef himself, because the people who order these dishes are generally regular customers, and the frequency of ordering is also very low, depending on whether the ingredients are available. One of the chefs replied.

"Okay, in the future, when the chef cooks, everyone can observe and learn freely. And once a month, we have to hold an internal exchange meeting, and if you have any difficulties and doubts in cooking, the chef and I can answer them for you. Liu Mang said again.

"That's great!" said many chefs with a smile of delight on their faces.

The kitchen is a place where factions are very serious, especially in traditional restaurants such as Manhan Lou.

For example, if you are taught by this master, then other masters will generally not teach you. And some special dishes are in the hands of a very small number of people, in order to maintain their status in the kitchen, most of them will hide and tuck, and will not easily tell others.

This has led to some low-level chefs who want to learn technology only by themselves, and the progress is very slow. Now Liu Mang's approach is tantamount to opening the door widely, and mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm at once. 8)
