【Chapter 305】 Whole Cow Feast
Just when Xiao Feng received Fang Tianpu and his entourage at Yaozhou Airport, Xiao's major partners in southern Yunnan were also on the way to Ginkgo Village.
This time, the news that Mirror Lake Ranch is producing top-quality beef is even more important to these high-end restaurants than last fall's top-notch hairy crabs. You must know that hairy crabs are just seasonal ingredients, and they cannot be supplied stably all year round like beef.
Most of the partners of Xiaojia Farm are engaged in the western food business, and there is a lot of demand for high-end beef, which before this could only be imported from abroad, which was expensive, and the vast majority of it was frozen beef, which was of average quality. Now that Mirror Lake Ranch is able to produce top-quality beef, the directors and chefs of these restaurants can naturally see the business opportunities in it.
Therefore, after receiving the notice from Jinghu, these restaurants sent representatives to Ginkgo Village, and some of the representatives who were anxious even checked into the Jinghu Hotel yesterday afternoon.
The three-hour drive passed in a flash, and when Xiao Feng took Fang Tianpu and his party back to Ginkgo Village, it was the beautiful sunset that amazed many guests who came to Ginkgo Village for the first time.
After announcing to the guests that the banquet would be held at seven o'clock in the evening, Xiao Feng handed over their reception to Zheng Xia, the manager of the Jinghu Hotel, and he had to rush to the kindergarten to pick up Nini from school.
…………
The settlement of the customer representative and the preparation of the banquet are naturally responsible for the special person, and Xiao Feng does not need to do it himself, as soon as he returns home, he still cooks for his family as usual to prepare dinner.
After eating a little, Xiao Feng handed Nini over to the eldest sister to take care of. He was walking with Xu Mengyao while coming towards the east bank of the Lancang River.
After the aphasia recovered, Nini no longer had to follow Xu Mengyao and Xiao Feng as closely as before, as long as she was a member of the family, she could be very obedient and obedient, which saved Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, it is always a bit out of place to bring children at a dinner party for customer representatives!
Tonight, Mirror Lake Hotel's No. 1 restaurant, which can accommodate 200 people at a time, was closed. Only customer representatives and people from the food industry who have an invitation letter from Mirror Lake Ranch. to enter.
And this unusual behavior also made ordinary tourists staying at the Mirror Lake Hotel curious, and they asked the hotel staff about it. After learning that Jinghu Ranch has been certified as the country's first top beef, and a special promotion dinner is held today, these visitors are also quite eagerly awaited. I hope to be able to taste this top-quality beef soon.
Guests who are familiar with the Mirror Lake Scenic Area know it. The variety of top-quality ingredients produced here impresses every visitor. And being recognized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture represents the extraordinary quality of these beefs!
When Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao arrived at the banquet hall, the guests had already arrived one after another. Amidst the elegant piano music, the ballroom is particularly harmonious.
Due to the large number of guests dining today, and the main direction of the operation of each restaurant is different, Xiao Feng simply adopted the buffet form of combining Chinese and Western food, which also met the different needs of most of the guests.
In order to better reflect the delicious taste of Jinghu Ranch beef, the main theme of tonight's banquet is the Jinghu Beef Banquet, where every part of the beef cattle is cooked by the chef and exudes charming charm in the small banquet hall.
Oxtail mushroom soup, borscht, toothpick beef, braised beef, boiled beef, beef onion pie, ,...... , and so on, dozens of various Chinese and Western dishes are dazzling on the table, making people overwhelmed.
For this banquet, Jinghu can be said to have spent a lot of effort, in addition to the main ingredient beef, the other side dishes are the special products of the Xiao family farm, and even the cooking water is the space Lingquan selected by Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng was quite satisfied with the results, and the guests feasted and were full of praise, which meant that tonight's promotion meeting was a great success.
Only after tasting the delicious taste of the top beef will these restaurants be willing to pay a lot of money to introduce Jinghu beef, which will make the beef cattle project of Jinghu Ranch much more profitable.
Looking at the extremely lively scene in the banquet hall, Xiao Feng had vaguely seen the scene of Jinghu beef in short supply and occupying high-end restaurants across the country.
…………
Fang Tianpu used to be a chef and now a food critic, and he thinks he has tasted countless delicacies, and he has also eaten Kobe beef, which is known as the best beef, but today's all-beef banquet still opened his eyes.
Whether it is Chinese or Western food, the chefs of Jinghu Hotel fully reflect the deliciousness of Jinghu beef, which makes people want to stop.
Seeing the excited faces of the representatives of the high-end catering industry in Haizhou and southern Yunnan, Fang Tianpu knew that Jinghu beef would become another representative top ingredient in Ginkgo Village.
After taking a long turn, Fang Tianpu, who had feasted on his mouth, was even more looking forward to the next arrangements in Jinghu!
Seeing that the staff of the Jinghu Hotel had brought a row of mobile stoves to the center of the banquet hall, Fang Tianpu knew that the highlight of the day was coming.
At the table, a variety of beef cuts have been presented, but the most expensive and highest-quality steaks have been missing. Fang Tianpu would not think that Jinghu did not come up with the best steak out of cost-saving considerations, it turned out that the mystery was here!
Cooking top-quality steaks on the spot gave Fang Tianpu the feeling of ordering live at Toei Wagyu Restaurant and tasting Kobe Wagyu.
Today, the chef is Chef Qin Weiguo, who has already worked in the Xiao family's private restaurant, and this is also the first time he has cooked dishes in public since he came to Ginkgo Village.
When Qin Weiguo appeared, most of the people who knew him looked at him with all kinds of envious eyes, after all, after he left the New Century Hotel, he became the chef of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant - 'Xiao Family Private Restaurant', and this change in status can not be explained clearly in a simple sentence or two.
Once Qin Weiguo has worked in the Xiao family's private restaurant for a period of time and has received praise and affirmation from the food industry, it is much better to open a creative restaurant of his own than to work for others. Even if he didn't start his own business, the chef of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant still had a much higher status than the executive chef of a typical five-star hotel.
Of course, some chefs in southern Yunnan were also extremely jealous when they looked at Qin Weiguo, isn't it because he knew Xiao Feng, the boss of the Jinghu system, a long time ago, and had a good relationship with the Jinghu system, so he got this position. When it comes to cooking, everyone present may not be worse than Qin Weiguo?
There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts!
Since ancient times, literati have been jealous of each other, and peers are light on each other, which is also inevitable in the chef world!
Fortunately, today is the order banquet held at Jinghu Ranch, although everyone is dissatisfied, they will not make trouble on this occasion, but they watch Qin Weiguo's cooking demonstration with great interest.
…………
When all the instruments were ready, Qin Weiguo took a deep breath and started his own operation!
For today's public demonstration, Qin Weiguo has been practicing a lot during this time, after all, this is his first public appearance after joining the 'Xiao Family's Private Restaurant', so he can't mess up. At the same time, Qin Weiguo also hopes to use his own expression to prove to people that he did not succeed in the restaurant because of his good personal relationship with Xiao Feng, but because of his real skills.
When Qin Weiguo began to light the fire, the fresh steak in the refrigerator appeared, which immediately made the onlookers let out bursts of exclamations.
Although they had seen all kinds of pictures uploaded by Xiao Feng before, the impact of the real thing in front of them was still incomparable, and the bright red steak was evenly distributed with snowflake-like fat textures, which was as delicate as a work of art.
Everyone present has a deep understanding of food and steaks, and one look at these steaks tells you that it is not unfounded that it has been able to obtain 'Prime' beef from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. If the taste of these steaks can be the same as the rest of the night, I'm afraid all the restaurants will go crazy for it!
When the butter on the stainless steel plate melted and began to emit a rich aroma, Qin Weiguo put the fresh steak on it, and in a burst of 'zilala' sound, the burnt aroma of the beef began to diffuse.
Because of the large number of guests waiting at the scene, Qin Weiguo fried 10 steaks on the steel plate at one time, and watched the bright red steak quickly change color under the combined action of butter and high temperature, which was quite spectacular.
Considering that everyone is a glutton who often eats Western food, Qin Weiguo did not overcook the steak, turned it over after a minute and a half, and then began to sprinkle selected Paxson rose salt from the Himalayas on top!
These steaks Qin Weiguo only used butter and rose salt to enhance the flavor, in order to present the original flavor of Jinghu beef's top steak, so that the guests could make more accurate judgments.
After a while, ten steaming and fragrant four-ripe steaks were freshly baked, and Qin Weiguo quickly cut them with a knife and asked his assistants to distribute them to the guests on the scene.
The slightly charred skin, the juicy interior and the flavor-enhancing effect of rose salt suddenly exploded in the mouth, making everyone want to stop! At this time, the guests at the scene were full of thoughts about bringing these top-notch steaks back to their own restaurant, which could be turned into a signature dish to further enhance the taste of the restaurant.
In the following time, in addition to continuing to cook steak in the simplest way, Qin Weiguo also showed a new cooking technique of using high spirits to burn steak, which made the chefs present dare not underestimate Qin Weiguo's kung fu.
The buffet dinner officially started at 7 o'clock and lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening, when all the guests left the banquet hall with their round bellies patted with their bellies. Even though they had eaten a lot of delicacies before and boasted of being well-informed, the all-beef feast prepared by Jinghu today was still an eye-opener for them!
There is no doubt that the whole beef banquet was an extraordinary success, and it made a good start for the promotion of Jinghu beef! (To be continued......
