Next Chapter

A small town deep in the southeast, Longyang Restaurant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At 6:10 p.m., it is the busiest time for the restaurant, which suddenly appeared in Longyang Town two years ago, since it moved in, the chefs in the restaurant have used their most exquisite cooking skills to bring a long-term gluttonous feast to the people here.

Today is no exception, these two days coincide with holidays, and many people who visit relatives and friends will always have a meal here in Longyang Town. Therefore, the kitchen of Longyang Restaurant is extremely busy.

"Big boss, the little master is okay in the back." Uncle Zhong, this is the current chef of Longyang Restaurant, and the one with the highest cooking skills in Longyang Restaurant.

"Alright, he should be doing it himself now." Long Qian, the big boss of Longyang Restaurant, is nearly forty years old, now wearing a white robe, and is also helping in the back kitchen, why do you say helper, because Long Qian is rarely in charge now, and the few times he cooperates with Uncle Zhong to deal with a few tricky dishes.

After Long Qian said this, he took a sip of wine and continued to peel the potatoes and radishes in front of him.

Uncle Zhong wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back, concentrating on cooking the last Buddha jumping over the wall.

Four hours passed, the sound in the kitchen finally gradually became quieter, and the restaurant began to calm down, except for one or two tables, which were already leftovers of cold soup, and the others were cleaned, and the helpers in the back kitchen, the chef, and the waiter also began to take off their clothes and prepare for work.

In the backyard, a bright moon has just climbed up, Long Xiang, the young master of Longyang Restaurant, the little master. Now he holds a big spoon in his right hand, and he holds an iron pot in his left hand, and half of the pot is filled with polished iron sand, and the iron sand is like a silver frost flying in the air under the light of the moon, and it returns to the pot.

With a half-exposed upper body, the muscles on the eighteen-year-old Long Xiang's body have begun to take shape, with sharp edges and corners. Long Xiang worked so hard to become a real chef and take over Longyang Restaurant.

According to the regulations of the Chinese Cuisine Association, in order to participate in the Chef Rating by the Cuisine Association, you must have a restaurant or college recommendation, and be at least 18 weeks old, regardless of the department.

And the annual rating is about to start in three months, so Long Xiang must step up his practice, and even the help in the kitchen on weekdays, Long Qian also exempted him.

Becoming a chef is easy because many people know how to cook, but mastering it is difficult. The Chinese Cuisine Association divides chefs into three stages, the first is an ordinary chef with ten stars and a minimum of ten grades. At this star stage, chefs can choose all cuisines, which is the most common, ten to five stars, and there is only one dish and basic skills for each exam; Five stars to two stars is a three-course dish, as well as a test of basic skills; Advancing to one star is three dishes and one soup, as well as a test of a solid selection of cuisines.

Then there is a cuisine here, what is a cuisine? Cuisine is the cuisine of the province you will learn from the chef of the province you will become.

Chinese cuisine is broad and profound, in addition to countless kinds of home-cooked dishes, the most famous are the eight major cuisines.

Shandong, Sichuan, Hunan, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Suzhou, Hui, Fujian.

In addition to these eight provinces, other cuisines are also replaced by abbreviations, for example, Beijing, Tianjin, Liao; Gan, Ning, Qing. At present, the Chinese Cuisine Association only recognizes 33 cuisines (including eight cuisines).

When you become a one-star chef, you will be eligible to challenge Heaven and Earth Level 2. Six stars for the ground kitchen and three stars for the sky kitchen. Local chefs are fortunate to be able to meet in major restaurants, and there are only a few people in the sky chefs so far, after all, some people may not even be able to get a one-star chef even when they are 50 years old. It's a long and arduous process.

Long Qian and Uncle Zhong sent off the last table of guests and also came to the backyard.

"Three thousand one hundred and two, three thousand one hundred and three." The last three words, Long Xiang even came out from between his teeth. Long Xiang's goal today is to turn the pot 3,500 times.

"Three thousand one hundred." Before the words were finished, Long Xiang's wrist couldn't hold on anymore, the most important thing about the pot was to control the strength of the wrist, and now the wrist was out of force, and the iron sand of the half pot clanged and buckled upside down on the ground.

Uncle Zhong's eyes were quick, and at that moment, he saw that Long Xiang's wrist had become an L-shape, and he reached out to catch Long Xiang's arm and pressed the acupoint on his arm, relieving Long Xiang's pain. Long Qian immediately took over, and before Long Xiang could react, between Long Qian's two hands twisted, a huge pain came from his arm, and even pinched Long Xiang's heart hard.

"Ahh Long Xiang clutched his wrist and screamed.

Long Qian and Uncle Zhong didn't care about Long Xiang's shouting, but secretly felt that it was a pity that Long Xiang was angry with this injury, so half of today's efforts this night were already wasted; At present, every moment of Longxiang is very important.

After a burst of pain, Long Xiang shook his hand, and his wrist returned to normal, and every pain was a good memory. Long Xiang sighed and said, "Uncle Zhong, Dad, have you finished your work?" ”

Long Qian lit a cigarette: "Yes, by the way, I came to see you with your loyal uncle, I didn't expect to see you embarrassed as soon as I came." ”

"Drink again, you also know your physical condition, if you continue like this, how long can you resist?" Long Xiang said what Uncle Zhong didn't say.

"Yes, big boss, after all, the restaurant still depends on you."

"It's okay, isn't it just cigarettes and alcohol, it can't hurt me, let's get here for today's training first, tomorrow is the time to catch up with the market, the restaurant has a day off, you can also go out and have fun, relax." Long Qian turned his head and continued to Uncle Zhong: "Ah Zhong, please help Xiang'er apply medicine, so as not to fall into the root of the disease." ”

Uncle Zhong sang a song and helped Long Xiang upstairs.

Long Qian waited until the two left, then picked up the iron sand on the ground and returned to the back kitchen.

A few years ago, Longyang Restaurant, in Fujian Province is relatively famous, in various major cities have branches, gathered a large number of famous chefs in Fujian Province, so in the process of talent training, it also has its own unique method, for the chef training process of the pain, they still have some special Chinese herbs, to treat such as dislocation, burns, scalds a series of medicinal materials, some of the effect can even ensure that you continue to work the next day.

At this time, Uncle Zhong was smearing a medium of green medicine on Long Xiang's hand, but Long Xiang didn't like the smell a little, it was a little pungent, and he always wanted to sneeze.

In fact, Uncle Zhong is not old, he is younger than Long Qian, but Uncle Zhong's temples have been dyed with white hair, and his fingers are also very thick, which is not proportional to his slightly thin body. Long Xiang felt the tremendous sense of power coming from Uncle Zhong's hand and asked, "Uncle Zhong, with your ability, you can continue to take the chef's certificate, and then find a better path." There's no need to stay with us all the time, it will hurt you. ”

Uncle Zhong couldn't believe it, this came out of Long Xiang's mouth. looked at him blankly, and smiled sadly: "It seems that the little young master has grown up and knows everything." ”

"That's right, my father told me all about it just two days ago." Long Xiang said.

Uncle Zhong stroked it twice, and the medicinal effects had all gone in, and said to Long Xiang: "That was the first time I participated in such a grand gathering, I didn't even dare to imagine that kind of scene, I always thought that the old shopkeeper was the best chef in the world, and no one could surpass our Longyang." But that day, it was a group of people at the top of the Chinese cuisine world who let me know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

"But it was also that day that all my dreams and hopes were shattered, and the old shopkeeper was tragically killed by a traitor, and the last dish was not made, and he collapsed.

"Now that you know everything, you should know where we're now, right?" At this moment, Uncle Zhong's eyes became extremely sharp, full of infinite flames, completely different from the previous carelessness.

Long Xiang must know the current situation, since three years ago, Long Xiang began to move non-stop, Longyang Restaurant kept going out of business, once a total of fifteen branches, to now only this one lives in the southeast of the small land, surviving for a long time.

Since the closure of Longyang Restaurant, those chefs who used to be in the restaurant and trained chefs have abandoned Longyang Restaurant one by one; Competitors even jointly signed a letter asking the Cuisine Association to cancel the recommendation qualification of Longyang Restaurant, and all the chefs of Longyang Restaurant who are named Longyang Restaurant will not be a real chef if they do not leave Longyang Restaurant overnight, and this is the biggest blow.

And the only chef who stayed was Uncle Zhong, the hard-working man, a man who had achieved one-star chef qualifications at the age of thirty or so, who had lost everything he had overnight, his friends, his master, his status as a chef.

But for Long Qianlongxiang, loss is everything to them, everything is everything. Now the only person in this world can believe is Uncle Zhong, who keeps running, keeps fleeing, and even incognito, so that they can live to this day.

Fifteen-year-old Long Xiang, standing in the lobby of the last Longyang restaurant, witnessed his second uncle being beaten to death by a group of ruffians, which was his last relative besides his father. And those murderers are still only locked up in it, without any punishment, it seems that two more have been released now, and he felt that death was also forcing him at that time, and he kept receiving death threats!

It wasn't until Uncle Zhong brought Long Gan, who had been wandering outside for nearly ten years, to Long Xiang that Long Xiang knew that he was not a child who had lost his parents.

Since then, Fujian Province has lost all information about Longyang Restaurant, and all assets have been mortgaged and replaced overnight, and Longyang Restaurant has disappeared.

Two years later, in the southeast of Fujian Province, the place where Longyang Restaurant was founded 400 years ago, Longyang Ancient Town, another Longyang Restaurant re-emerged!
