Chapter 271: No Book Is Written Without Coincidentality
After Ito Ginnosuke and the others ate all the food, they immediately paid the cash.
The translator was going to lead the Japanese benzene judges back to the hotel to pack their luggage after eating, because according to the itinerary, Ginnosuke Ito and others were going to rush back to the Japanese benzene on the night flight tonight.
However, Ginnosuke Ito didn't leave immediately, he got up and walked straight to Bai Xiaobai.
Bai Xiaobai happened to be on the edge of the glass kitchen, sorting out the tableware, because there were too many customers, and the tableware provided by the system couldn't wait to be cleaned together.
Therefore, Bai Xiaobai can only clean up some tableware every short period of time, put it in the kitchen dishwasher and clean and disinfect it.
Gao Chao can't enter the glass kitchen, which can only be done by himself.
Ginnosuke Ito walked over to Bai Xiaobai and hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
In fact, Ito Ginnosuke is not sure if this restaurant is the same restaurant he has been frequenting for several years.
After all, five or six years have passed, Chaotianmen Street has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and the big white restaurant has long ceased to exist.
The story of Ginnosuke Ito and Daihaku Restaurant has to start from five or six years ago.
Six years ago, Ito Ginnosuke stayed in the city for several days because he had important business negotiations in the city.
During this period, in addition to work, Ginnosuke Ito also had a big hobby, liking to taste the food of the Chinese country.
Originally, as his president, he must have stayed in a high-end hotel and tasted the hotel's highest-class cuisine.
However, Ito Ginnosuke knows that high-end hotels may not be able to eat the most authentic and delicious Chinese food, and there are many hotels that have used a lot of Western seasonings.
In order to eat authentic Chinese food and satisfy the appetite, Ito Ginnosuke walked the streets and alleys alone, to the alleys of the city and remote shops, and tasted all kinds of gourmet dishes, from simple steamed buns to complex to roast duck in the imperial capital and Buddha jumping over the wall.
But after eating the food of so many restaurants, the most memorable thing for him is the big white restaurant.
Dabai Restaurant is experienced by a husband and wife, the male chef cooks the food, the female greets customers, both of them have a very good attitude, and the store is also full, and there is no empty seat.
Bai Dabai's signature squirrel fish had an excellent reputation and was well-known far and wide, and was loved by diners.
Even Ginnosuke Ito was impressed until now.
The dish uses a whole piece of fresh fish, which is processed vertically and horizontally with exquisite knife work, the belly is boneless, the egg yolk is sticky, and the yellow is fried in an oil pan to make a squirrel style, and after frying, it is drizzled with a sweet and sour sauce while it is hot.
The finished product has a bright color, a bright red sauce, a tender and crispy taste, and a sweet and sour taste.
After eating a bite of crispy and tender fish, while leaving a fragrant tooth and cheek, there is no strong fishy smell remaining, the kind of teasing taste buds, delicious to the extreme, people can't forget it at all.
Until now, when I recall it, Ginnosuke Ito can't help but secrete a lot of saliva.
Ever since he had eaten the food of Shirakuhaku, Ginnosuke Ito has been visiting Daihaku Restaurant for the rest of his days in Ekai, without exception.
In addition to the signature squirrel fish, he found that all the food cooked by the owner of the shop was very delicious, such as braised eggplant, lychee meat, steamed Wuchang fish, and boiled beef......
A variety of delicacies, exquisite and delicious.
The key dishes are sufficient, and the service attitude is not to mention, free rice, free water, free refills, free pickles, pickled crispy radish......
As a result, Ginnosuke Ito was deeply impressed by the Great White Restaurant, and the reason why he returned to Ekai to attend the cooking competition as a judge this time was because he hoped to set foot in this restaurant again before his death.
However, the big white restaurant on Chaotianmen Street no longer exists, and when he came to Chaotianmen Street by car just now, he looked left and right, and it looked like the name of this small white restaurant was the closest.
In fact, as soon as I entered the store, Ginnosuke Ito felt a little familiar, and although the decoration had completely changed, the cement staircase between the first and second floors had not changed.
Much like this shop.
Besides, the owner of the previous store was called Bai Dabai, and this name is only one word different from Bai Xiaobai, so it is very likely that these two people are father and son, and Dabai Restaurant is the predecessor of Xiaobai Restaurant.
But everything was his personal speculation, Ito Ginnosuke came back to his senses from the long memory, hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth to ask directly in Huaxia to ask the confusion in his heart:
"Master Bai, are you Bai Dabai's son?
Bai Xiaobai was originally arranging the dishes, but when he heard this, he paused and asked rhetorically, "President Ito, do you know my father?"
In fact, Bai Xiaobai was very confused at the moment, how could the benzene judges know their father this day.
His parents had never even been to Jianghai Province, let alone been to Nichiben, so how could he possibly get to know the president of Ito Nano?
Seeing Bai Xiaobai's confusion, Ito Ginnosuke continued to say in a relatively fluent Chinese language, "I used to patronize the Great White Restaurant in Jianghai, I know your father, he is very good, he is now passing on his skills to you, and he will no longer open a store?"
Although he didn't know what the specific situation was, in the face of the other party's earnest question, Bai Xiaobai had nothing to hide, and said calmly:
"My parents died in a car accident three years ago, and I now run the restaurant by myself. ”
After listening to this, Ito Ginnosuke said with a look of regret, "I haven't been here for five or six years, and I wanted to try your father's cooking skills again, but it's a pity......"
After a pause, he continued: "But this trip to Jianghai was not in vain. Little Master Bai, to be honest, your current cooking skills have surpassed your father's, in your Chinese saying, 'green out of blue is better than blue'"
In the face of Ito Ginnosuke's sincere praise, Bai Xiaobai's heart swelled with emotions, he leaned back slightly, held back the small tears in the corners of his eyes, and said, "Actually, my father taught me well during his lifetime, and he was more strict with me." ”
Bai Xiaobai's words are true, he used to be young and ignorant, and he was often absent-minded about learning to cook, which meant that he fished for three days and dried nets for two days.
His father is stricter, and other children can play happily after doing their summer homework in the summer, but Bai Xiaobai is an exception, and his father requires him to learn to cook.
said that even if you can't get into college in the future, you still have a skill to eat well, which is no worse than going to college.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, every teenager has a strong rebellious mentality, and Bai Xiaobai is also a stubborn master, the stricter his father is, the more he resists.
Therefore, in addition to using dim sum in knife work and learning well, he rarely practiced fire work in cooking.
So before the food system, his cooking skills could only be regarded as mediocre.
Now when I think of my parents' teachings, I know that their intentions are good, but they are no longer in the world.
I knew that I should have listened to them well back then, so that they would have to worry less. Bai Xiaobai's nose was sour at the moment, and he didn't dare to think about the past anymore, otherwise crying and crying in the store, a big man would be too hypocritical.
Fortunately, now with the assistance of the food system, and Bai Xiaobai's own talent is not bad, his cooking skills have improved very much.
Living up to his parents' expectations, he can at least support himself by cooking delicious food, he will not starve and freeze, and he keeps the store in good order, and the business is thriving, getting better and better, and his parents can smile even if they are under Jiuquan.
Bai Xiaobai collected his thoughts, smiled again, and said without humility or arrogance, "President Ito, if you are not in a hurry to leave Jianghai, I will launch a new product in a few days, welcome to taste it again." ”
Bai Xiaobai has already begun to recommend new products, and the new product in his mouth is naturally an A-level difficult delicacy - Royal Tea Oil Roast Duck.
"Little Master Bai, unfortunately, I'm going back to Japan today, and I will definitely come back if I have the opportunity in the future. I'm glad you let me taste such delicious Chinese food today. Ginnosuke Ito said, not bowing, but politely extending his right hand.
It was so formal, but Bai Xiaobai was a little flattered, and he immediately stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands politely in the store.
made other customers stunned, thinking that these two people were talking about some business.
After shaking hands, Ginnosuke Ito took out a business card from his suit pocket and said, "Master Haku, if you have time to come to Nichiban in the future, remember the Ito nano Japanese restaurant in the Upper East Jingdu, and let you taste the top Japanese food." ”
Bai Xiaobai took the business card and said politely, "I will definitely patronize it if I have a chance." ”
Because there was not much time left for the flight, Ginnosuke Ito handed over the business card, did not stay long, and after saying goodbye to Bai Xiaobai, he led the other four Japanese benzene judges and the translation lady to leave the store together.
Before leaving, Sachiko Nohara glanced back at Bai Xiaobai, and stopped talking, but still didn't speak.
As soon as the group left, there were regular customers in the store who were discussing wildly.
"Boss Bai's shop is patronized by Benzen people every day, it's really good. ”
"What is this, do you know who the old man was just now?"
"Who is it?"
"It's scared to death when you say it, the old man with a little gray hair just now is the founder of the leading restaurant of Japanese benzene and Japanese food, his name is Ito, I have seen it on the news before, and I saw me for the first time today. ”
"I can also see that the old man has been on the Forbes Japanese Benzene Celebrity List, and it seems that the family business has a combined market value of at least tens of billions of yen, and it is a real Japanese restaurant giant. ”
"Damn, Boss Bai actually knows this kind of celebrity, and this network is too good. ”
The customers in the store, you and I are discussing wildly, Bai Xiaobai actually heard it clearly, and he was now sweating all over his head.
In fact, it's really not a good connection, it's really just met today.
Bai Xiaobai also didn't expect that the judges at yesterday's cooking competition were actually customers from my father's previous store, which may be the often said 'no coincidence makes a book'
