Chapter 34 Emergency
The difficulty of the dishes on this table is not small, the general diners come to eat are their own orders, all according to their own minds, some are ordered vegetarian dishes, some are ordered meat dishes, what will be eaten is meat and vegetarian matching, unless it is a banquet will officially come to the dish, and this partner orders his own dishes, not only in accordance with the formal process of the ancient dinner, but also each dish is a famous dish in ancient times, and several of them are famous dishes in the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets.
Even Li Qiao, who is well versed in this, can't help but sweat, not to mention that there are only so many apprentices in the kitchen, but it can be seen that the partners of Huaijiang Hotel are not only very sincere, but also very knowledgeable about food, even if they are not chefs, they should also be good at eating.
No wonder Xia Tanya is so anxious, the other party set this dish not only to show his understanding of the catering industry, but also to test the catering strength of Huaijiang Hotel, no matter how good the decoration of a hotel is, no matter how expensive the tableware is, and how comfortable the service is, but in the final analysis, it still depends on the level of the dishes, the dishes are not up to par, even if you have three heads and six arms, it seems that this table is not simple!
At this time, the guys have been prepared properly, only to see the log cutting board on the cutting table put on the cabinet, a few boys are busy sweating, the ingredients that need to be prepared for the dishes are classified by the basket in front of Li Qiao, Huaijiang Hotel as the largest hotel in Xinghai City, the most important thing is the ingredients, and what is taken out at the moment is the fresh appearance of the water spirit.
Li Qiao stood motionless in front of the cutting board, did not make the slightest sound, breathed steadily, and wanted to fall asleep, Tan Ya, who was a little worried, was anxious to speak, but Li Qiao suddenly opened his eyes, grinned and said: "Boys, you are blessed today, such a difficult dish, in the past, you didn't even have the qualifications to serve dishes, now study hard, it's all kung fu." ”
The three young apprentices were suddenly excited, indeed, the Huaijiang Hotel has a great business, there are more than 100 chefs alone, not to mention other kitchens, foreign restaurants, the number of chefs is countless, and they are apprentices in the lowest position, more than 20 stoves in a row, a row of more than 10 cuts, and countless lotus, waiters, so many pairs of eyes staring, want to follow this table of famous dishes, even the stove master may not be able to grab the quota to help serve the dishes.
There are only three of them at the moment, and they know Brother Qiao's ability, except for Brother Biao in the kitchen, it belongs to Li Qiao, I heard that when I went to college, I learned catering and craft nutrition, how could I not let them be excited!
Saying that, Li Qiao picked up the knife and explained: "It can be seen that the guests who order the food know the dishes very well, a table of cold dishes, cold dishes, hot dishes, soup dishes, dim sum, and fruits are all in accordance with the process of ancient banquets, which is extremely professional, and among the dozens of dishes, Huailu Yueyangchuan Benbang dishes are all involved, and a chef can be called a master if he can specialize in one aspect, so it can be said that it is much more difficult than the general banquet." ”
As soon as Li Qiao's words fell, Chen Wei and the three of them suddenly widened their eyes, they had only been apprentices for a few months, they didn't know so many styles, and they didn't expect the difficulty of this table, so they were excited for a while, took out the small book they had been carrying with them, and wrote about it, although the words were written crookedly, they were still densely written, and they didn't miss a word.
A good catering entrepreneur is not necessarily a good chef, just like the best coach is not necessarily the best basketball player, Xia Tanya looked at Li Qiao, who was talking endlessly and with a serious face, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, she didn't seem to expect that a dish is a dish, where are there so many doors, and there are so many points, but at this time, it sounds quite interesting!
"Crystal meat, salted duck belongs to Huaiyang cuisine, and is the famous Huaiyang cold dish, anyone who has learned Huaiyang cuisine as a cook, generally will, and Huaiyang cuisine pays attention to the knife work is complicated and delicate, the taste is light and refreshing, so these two dishes are no exception. Li Qiao held a kitchen knife in his hand, took out the special crystal meat in the Huaijiang Hotel, and carried the knife like flying, a piece of meat with a thickness of about half a centimeter, neatly stacked into a fan shape on the porcelain plate, decorated with green pine leaves, and the bright red flesh and the white porcelain plate produced a dazzling and dazzling contrast.
"Saltwater duck is also called osmanthus duck, needless to say, what you want is knife work, divide the whole duck, and then keep the mentality unchanged. Li Qiao said, the saltwater duck in his hand has been decomposed and placed neatly on the plate, still maintaining the shape of the duck tiled.
One after another, Xia Tanya looked at Li Qiao, who was flying like a knife and did not block it at all, her beautiful eyes rippled with brilliance, and she didn't seem to have thought about the indispensable cooking of every family, she looked so handsome and enthusiastic here, and then looked at the three apprentices, needless to say, her eyes almost didn't blink.
After half an hour, the eight cold dishes have been neatly placed on the plate, the delicate appearance is simply a little more messy, a little less too concise, fortunately Huaijiang Hotel belongs to that kind of complex hotel, these special meals have some, reducing the pressure on Li Qiao, to complete the cold dishes, Li Qiao shouted: "Serve." ”
"I'm coming!" The three boys were about to make a move, Xia Tanya retracted her gaze and shouted subconsciously, which made Chen Wei and the three of them stunned, but Li Qiao patted them on the head: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and help, let the wounded go on!"
Xia Tanya walked in front with the dishes, hearing this sentence, her heart couldn't help but warm, although the burned hand still hurt a little, but now it's better, when she walked to the mouth of the dish, a few waiters on duty who were dozing off heard the footsteps, opened their eyes, and were suddenly startled, and became clean: "President, president, how can you come to this matter." ”
"Don't get in the way, this dish will be delivered to box 35 on the fifth floor, be careful. Xia Tanya smiled kindly, so that they were like a spring breeze, and they hurriedly sent it up, and Xia Tanya rushed back non-stop, and sure enough, the man was already preparing the next dish.
"Anchovy shark fin is definitely a famous dish, I don't know if it's delicious or not, but the name of the Manchu and Han banquets is definitely not small. Li Qiao smiled and touched the shark fin taken out of the refrigerator, tore one into his mouth, except for the salty taste left when the sea water dried, there was no other taste: "Shark fin has no taste, all need to rely on soup to hang, chicken soup supplemented with ham, pork is quite good, generally stewed or boiled, now the time is too late, can only be boiled for a while, put it in the steaming box, the technique is simple, Chen Wei, you come." ”
Li Qiao put all the ingredients into the pot, and then asked Chen Wei to watch the fire, the kid was not ambiguous, he did not hesitate at all, he started directly, and when he served the pot, he swayed and swayed, and Xia Tanya really broke out in a cold sweat.
"Next is the palace protection hare, birds are like partridges, beasts are like rabbits, rabbits are meat in the vegetarian, but with Sichuan cuisine, it can be seen that it is very good at eating, of course, this is also the legend included in the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet...... "Li Qiao decomposes the rabbit, and then boils the water to remove the blood, to the fish, and then the oil to preserve the umami, and then the winter bamboo shoots peanuts and carrots...... Stir-fry over high heat and add the sauce......
At the same time that Li Qiao finished the dish, Xia Tanya's phone rang, a simple ringtone, as soon as she answered the phone, her curious gaze at the pot suddenly became serious: "Hey, what's the matter?"
"Chairman, the partner has come, what should we do?" It could be heard from the phone, Xia Tanya's assistant looked quite nervous.
"It's okay, just take them to the designated box and say I'll be right away. Xia Tanya put down the phone and took a deep breath, and saw a steaming kung bao hare on the table, and before her eyes lit up, the aroma was fragrant, and she was about to reach out to serve the dish: "So fast, I'll take this dish first." ”
I don't know why, I was comfortable with serving food, but at the same time, Li Qiao grabbed her and said, "No!"
"Why not, the guests have already come, do you want them to drink the northwest wind?" Xia Tanya raised her eyebrows, a little unhappy, but Li Qiao did not react in the slightest, and said with an unlit cigarette: "If you want this negotiation to fail, just go!"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Tanya really stopped, and said with some annoyance: "What do you mean by this?"
"To be able to point out such an embarrassing dinner, I want to come to your partner is also a good hand, at least this line, this dinner is to test the ability of the hotel, every detail is in the eyes of people, since it is a traditional dinner, people naturally know that the dish is the first dish, that is the second dish!"
"Appetizer?" Xia Tanya was stunned.
"You don't understand. Li Qiao didn't bother to explain, turned to Chen Wei and said, "How is the anchovy shark fin?"
"Five minutes to go!" Chen Wei replied quickly.
These five minutes seemed like a century long to Xia Tanya, and the sound of "dripping" made her breathe a sigh of relief, and she immediately served the decorated anchovy shark fin herself.
I saw that there were five or six men sitting in the spacious box full of ancient style on No. 35, but sitting in the center was an old man with gray hair but strong spirits, and next to him was a middle-aged man in his forties, as for the others, they were relatively young, and they should be assistants or subordinates.
These two people saw Chairman Xia personally carrying the dishes up, smelling the familiar smell, and then looking at the dishes on the plate, the two couldn't help but look at each other, nodded slightly, and then stood up and said: "The old man came to bother him so late, but I didn't expect it to be Xia Dong personally serving the dishes, I was really scared!"
"Ning Lao's words are wrong, Tan Ya is the younger generation serving food for the elders, and it is also reasonable and reasonable. "Xia Tanya's strong woman is not in vain, the expressions of the two people have already been seen in their eyes, and they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, fortunately they listened to the man's words, otherwise this business would be hanging.
"Haha, I've heard of Xia Dong's reputation for a long time, it's better to be famous at this time, it's better to meet!" After the old man finished speaking, he immediately stood up and shook his hand, quite politely.
"Ning Lao has won the award, but this famous dish in the Manchu and Han banquets, in a short period of time, it really took Tan Ya a lot of effort!" Xia Tanya sat down, looked at the other party, and directly said the information she heard from Li Qiao.
However, the effect of these words was very good, and Ning Lao, who deliberately had a problem, couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed and said: "Xia Dong really deserves to be a strong woman, I believe we will have a very happy meal!"
At the table, it was full of heat!
