Chapter Forty-Eight: A Gastronomic Expert's Visit
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, not everyone is as good as Ye Qi.
Since the Culinary Conference, the pattern of the entire Yundu catering industry has awakened to a big baptism. All the restaurants in Korea have disappeared from Yundu, and hotels in other countries have also hung signs that they will be closed for a month.
On the contrary, in the Huaxia restaurant in Yundu, the business has been booming since the conference.
Especially in Manjiang Building, after the cooking conference has been reported by major media, it has undoubtedly become the preferred dining place for many foodies in Yundu.
No, the day before the live broadcast of the conference, the Mid-Autumn Festival was already full of guests. And the seats here still have to be booked in advance, and even the most ordinary seats in the lobby have been reserved until a month later.
There are cars and people in front of Manjiang Building, and it is difficult to find even parking spaces around, which shows the prosperity of its business.
The diners who come and go are also curious, and they all want to try it, and they can overwhelm the entire Yundu chef to make a special dish.
Of course, in addition to these ordinary diners, it also attracts a number of well-known people in the Yundu food scene.
However, among these high-end foodies, the most shiny and brightest natural is Lu Yan, the writer of Chinese recipes.
I saw a streamer passing by, and a dazzling black Rambo Hermes stopped in front of the Manjiang Building. Then got out of the car a woman wearing sunglasses, whose cool appearance matched the color of the car.
Diners in the past, as long as they have watched the Yundu food program, can easily recognize this woman, she is Lu Yan, one of the pillars of Yundu TV.
The way she appeared alone blinded the titanium eyes of everyone present.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the appearance of celebrities are sought after by tens of thousands of people. Even if she can't cook, she can't stop the foodies from loving her.
"Yo, isn't this Miss Lu, what kind of wind blew your big Buddha to my little Manjiang Tower."
Wu Zhengtao, who was checking the accounts at the front desk, inadvertently looked up and saw Lu Yan coming in like a moon, and quickly put down the account book in his hand and greeted him.
"Hehe, if Boss Wu, your place is also small, then there is really no hotel in Yundu that can be considered big." Lu Yan took off her sunglasses and showed a rare smile.
"Hey, I can't call it a hotel here, it's just a relatively large restaurant at most. If the owners of those star-rated hotels listen to it, they won't come to me to find fault. Wu Zhengtao deliberately put up a fat face and said very tightly.
"Boss Wu, you really know how to laugh, and you don't look at the traffic here. It is estimated that today alone will be worth a week in other hotels. Lu Yan stretched out her finger and pointed to the packed lobby.
"That's not all the light of the cooking conference."
Wu Zhengtao returned to the Maitreya Buddha of the past, looked around and said, "Miss Lu, please move to the private room, this place is so troublesome, I am afraid that your identity will be broken." ”
But Lu Yan shook her head slightly and said, "No need, this time I came to you to be in charge of the kitchen." ”
Wu Zhengtao said: "Oh, it turned out to be looking for Xiaohan, she should be busy in the back kitchen now, why don't I take you over?" ”
"Then it's going to trouble Boss Wu." Lu Yan bowed slightly.
In the eyes of the surrounding diners, the two walked in the direction of the back kitchen.
"Hey, I said you, can you use so much heat to stew a soup? And you, cutting shredded radishes so slowly, just rolled up and went home. ”
In the kitchen of Manjianglou, Wu Zihan is dressed in a chef's attire, holding a spatula and directing the next class of cooks, and her capable appearance is like a female general who commands on the battlefield.
"Xiaohan, look who's coming."
Just as she was in this small world, a familiar voice floated through the door.
"Hey, second uncle, why are you idle and running to the kitchen?" After Wu Zihan saw the comer, he ran over with a spatula.
Seeing her like this, Wu Zhengtao frowned and said, "Look at you, a girl's family is so big, how can you expect to find a good husband in the future?" ”
Wu Zihan waved the spatula and said indifferently: "If you can't find it, you won't look for it." ”
Then he approached Wu Zhengtao and asked mysteriously, "Second uncle, what are you looking for me?" ”
"Uh-huh" At this time, a light cough with a female surname suddenly came from behind Wu Zhengtao, and then a beautiful and generous woman appeared in front of Wu Zihan.
"Ah, Sister Yan, why are you here?"
The woman was Lu Yan who came with Wu Zhengtao, but she deliberately didn't come in outside the door. And Wu Zhengtao's slightly bloated body just blocked her slender her.
"Of course I'm here to see how you, the goddess of chefs, cook." Lu Yan said casually.
"Huh? Watch me cook? The speaker has no intention of listening, and after hearing this sentence, Wu Zihan immediately understood. It turned out that it was because of her 'outstanding performance' at the cooking conference that she provoked her sister Yan.
"What's the matter, Sister Zihan. Wouldn't I be welcome to visit your kitchen? Between the words, Lu Yan always kept smiling.
"Okay, then I'll ask Sister Yan to evaluate more." Wu Zihan put the spatula aside and made a gesture of please.
Lu Yan walked into the kitchen and made a cursory observation, so that she couldn't help but praise, 'Okay!' ’。
Both the hygienic conditions and the quality of the personnel here are incomparable to the hotels she has inspected before. On the neat table, all kinds of ingredients are neatly stacked. Even those unwanted waste materials are put aside by classification code, and there will be no situation where the ground is full of vegetable leaf meat residues.
And the chefs were all focused on the job at hand, and no one was distracted by outsiders coming to the kitchen.
"It seems that Boss Wu has trained the quality of his subordinates very well." Lu Yan's tone was like a leader who organized the inspection work.
"Hehe, Miss Lu praised, these are the things that every restaurant and hotel should do, and they are not worth showing off." Wu Zhengtao looked very modest.
Lu Yanden stopped at the moment, turned around and admired: "Well said, Boss Wu is worthy of being a person who does great things." If every hotel can do the same thing as Manjiang Building, then the health bureau will not have to have a headache about receiving health complaints all day long. ”
"Hehe, Miss Wu is really joking."
Everyone loves to listen to compliments, even Wu Zhengtao, a relatively upright businessman.
"Oh, by the way, since you're in the kitchen, why don't you show your sister a few hands, so that your sister can open her eyes." Lu Yan suddenly shifted the topic to Wu Zihan.
"Huh? The latter was not mentally prepared at all, but when she came into contact with Lu Yan's inquiring eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then my sister will be ugly, I don't know which dish my sister likes?" ”
"You just make the fish-flavored shredded pork from the last competition, my sister still wants to taste that taste." After that, Lu Yan licked her tempting lips, as if she was reminiscing about the taste that made people reverie.
