Chapter 80: The Vanishing Steak (Part II)
Although Ke Hong also ate some snacks in advance, it was not enough to support him from eleven o'clock in the morning to more than two o'clock in the afternoon, so he was already hungry at this time. ↑ Blue ↑ color ↑ book * bar,. Lanseshuba Baidu & Search Wushen Ji to read this book # The latest chapter and he has already cleaned up the frying pan and grill and other utensils, and his hands have been washed, and he will have to be busy for a long time to make a new one, he will go crazy, not to mention that he is already hungry!
Therefore, Ke Hong turned to the chef who was concentrating on brushing **, and asked hesitantly, "That, buddy, did you see the steak I put here?" ”
But the chef didn't hear what he said at all, he was concentrating on brushing **, and occasionally absentmindedly rolled over the pot and fried the already a little mushy squid ring, Ke Hong had to sigh and came outside the kitchen.
In his opinion, it is estimated that the other people who came into the kitchen saw that he was not nearby, so they took it and ate it themselves. He looked out along the kitchen, and after walking a few steps, a waiter ran past him in a panic, shouting: "Manager Yang, Manager Yang!" There's a guest over there......"
Ke Hong didn't care, and continued to find his steak, and the cause and effect of this incident ......
"Manager Yang! There's a foreign guest over there, looking like he's looking for trouble! The waitress hurriedly ran to Manager Yang's side and said, when she heard that it was a foreigner, Manager Yang felt a sigh in her heart, and hurriedly asked while following the waiter outside, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
"I served him his steak, and he tasted it and told me something he didn't understand, as if he wanted to see someone, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be satisfied with the manager and would go to the manager, so he ......," the waiter said in a panic.
"Steak?" Manager Yang frowned, and an ominous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart: "Who did it?" ”
"I don't know, when I went to the kitchen, I saw that the steak was ready, and I served it to him. And it's indeed a thickened chunk of sirloin steak, and the sauce is all drizzled. The waiter panicked, as if she was afraid that it was her responsibility.
"Anyway, let's go see what he has to say." Manager Yang said, and came to the table of guests with the waiter.
The guest seated at the table was a blonde foreigner with a kind smile on his face, and an English magazine was placed on the table. The man looked like he was in his fifties, slightly bald on the top of his head, slightly chubby with a beer belly, but his arms were full of strong muscles, and he was wearing a loose red and white plaid shirt and a pair of hazel slacks underneath.
This foreigner has a very special temperament, gentlemanly and elegant, which makes people feel that he is not an ordinary person. Seeing that his eyes were soft, Manager Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked in English, "Can I help you?" ”
"That's right, I'd like to meet your chef." The foreigner smiled faintly.
"Is there something wrong with this steak?" Manager Yang's heart trembled suddenly, and he asked with a smile.
The foreigner looked at the steak and smiled, "No, no, no!" No problem...... No, but it can't be said that it's okay. You see, yes, I've been in China for a long time, I've tasted a lot of Chinese food, and I've eaten in a lot of Chinese Western restaurants, but most of those steaks are ...... Not as good as it could be. Usually I want a medium-rare steak, but it's medium-rare. ”
Manager Yang swallowed nervously, this is a very common problem in China, most Chinese people are not sensitive to the doneness of steak, and they can't tell which ones are medium-rare and which are medium-rare and don't even care at all, so this situation is caused. Manager Yang also can't guarantee that every steak in their store is cooked to the level of doneness requested by customers.
"But this steak is just the right amount of medium-rare, the meat is tender, the meat is juicy in one bite, and the seasoning is quite perfect, and the best thing is ......," said the foreigner, dipping a spoon in a spoon and tasting the sauce, "this black pepper sauce...... It's not black pepper sauce, it's made with tahini, tomato sauce, lemon juice, and other ingredients, and it looks like black pepper sauce, but it tastes so good that it goes perfectly with this steak. ”
The more Manager Yang listened, the more relieved he became, not because it was bad, but because it was too good.
"So, I wanted to meet the chef and pay my respects to him. It's a creative and impactful sauce that I rarely taste abroad. The foreigner put his hands on his chin and smiled and asked, "Is that okay?" ”
"Okay, please wait." Manager Yang bowed slightly and smiled, and then waved his hand to the waiter: "Go, call the chef of the store." ”
After a while, the chef of the store came, a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, tall and thin, with wheat-colored skin and a good figure. But when he laughs, only the corners of his left mouth rise, and the pair of Danfeng eyes make him look full of cunning, I don't know if he himself smiled inadvertently or deliberately portrayed this feeling.
Being the head chef here at such a young age obviously either has particularly good cooking skills or a particularly hard backstage, but Ke Hong didn't know this at this time.
"Huang Yi, this guest wants to talk to you about this steak. You know English, right? Himself and him. Manager Yang and the chef smiled, "Good job, now people won't say that you are relying on the relationship with the eldest lady." ”
Huang Yi was stunned and a little confused, because he was not in the kitchen just now, and most of the chefs went to rest and eat just now. But on second thought, in that kitchen, all the chefs took the credit to the chef.
Because the kitchen of a regular western restaurant is not one person in charge of a dish like a small western restaurant, but a whole, the one who is responsible for the side dishes is specially made for side dishes, and the chef is responsible for the final review to confirm that there is no problem with the doneness and taste of the steak. Unless there is a special guest, the chef will take care of all the processes and make a separate dish as a tribute.
Therefore, Huang Yi immediately recovered from his doubts and smiled politely: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" ”
"I want to ask, how is this sauce made?" The foreigner asked with a smile.
The chef is only responsible for the final review, but before the meal, the chef also needs to decide on the ingredients of the sauce and the dishes.
Huang Yi looked at the steak and didn't understand, it looked like it was just an ordinary black pepper steak, but he wanted to boast about it on purpose, so he exaggerated how he selected the types of ingredients with exquisite pairings to make the black pepper sauce more delicious.
It's a pity that this guest is also knowledgeable, and when he heard that what Huang Yi said was not the same sauce as himself, he pursed his lips and frowned slightly. And at this time, Ke Hong, the culprit of all the accidents, finally appeared on the scene, pointing at the steak and screaming: "My steak!" ”
Then, Ke Hong noticed that this battle didn't seem right, so he cautiously came to Manager Yang and asked, "Uh, Manager Yang, my steak shouldn't be causing trouble, right?" ”
Manager Yang glared at him, his eyes split: "You made this steak!?" ~ Search the basket color * book bar, you can read the full text of the following chapters
