Chapter 482: The Old Man
In the conference hall on the sixth floor of the main building of the Cooking Association Headquarters, Shi Tiancheng's gaze fell on Wang Ming in front of him with solemnity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a standing at the tip of the kitchen pyramid, facing the most mysterious and low-key food palace in the catering industry in the past, but with an extremely strong reputation in the catering industry, Shi Tiancheng is no stranger, and even has some friendship with Old Man Lu, and therefore, he has also been in contact with some of the knife skills of the food palace, and therefore, when he saw Wang Mingshi show the somewhat familiar knife skills, his heart was already flooded with monstrous waves.
Shi Tiancheng's eyes were with a hint of urgency, just from the knife technique, he was not sure, but Wang Ming's willingness was to build a huge catering empire, and the food palace of the year was quietly declining, and the helmsman was also silent, for this reason, Shi Tiancheng also visited secretly, but found nothing, and therefore, when he heard Wang Ming's volunteering, the comprehensive knife technique he exerted, made Shi Tiancheng stubbornly believe that perhaps Wang Ming in front of him must be inextricably linked with the old man whose life and death are unknown.
"Gastronomy Palace... The Lu family? Wang Ming was slightly shocked, he couldn't distinguish between good and evil for Shi Tiancheng's words in front of him, originally in his opinion, the Food Palace had been in decline for so long, even if the Floating Spirit Knife Method reappeared, there were only a limited number of people such as Lu Tianfeng who could identify it, but what he didn't expect was that the person in front of him would be the senior executive chef of the State Guesthouse, and what he didn't expect was that the old man in front of him seemed to have some connection with the Lu family of the Food Palace.
Wang Ming was not familiar with Shi Tiancheng in front of him, and this Floating Spirit Sword Technique was something unique to him, even if it was a gift from Lu Tianfeng, Wang Ming would not directly admit it.
"What gastronomic palace are you talking about? What the Lu family... I don't quite understand. After paying attention to it, Wang Ming directly pretended to be stupid, the puzzled and puzzled look on his face made Shi Tiancheng slightly stunned, and then the pair of eyes took a deep look at Wang Ming in front of him, and sat down again.
"What did the old gentleman say about the gourmet palace... Sounds very powerful, in front of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, is there a place that dares to call the food palace? Seeing Shi Tiancheng sitting on the sofa, a trace of complexity flashed across the old man's face, Wang Ming asked again, and as his voice fell, Shi Tiancheng beckoned and motioned for Wang Ming to sit aside.
"You're still young, and you don't know that the Food Palace is nothing, but I was a little reckless in my previous words." Shi Tiancheng sighed lightly, the complicated color on the old man's face was even more intense, and he said to Wang Ming on the side.
"Don't say that." Regarding Shi Tiancheng's words, Wang Ming waved his hand again and again and said, and then, after taking a sip of tea from the teacup, his eyes fell on Shi Tiancheng's body again.
"If you have nothing to do, I'll tell you the story of the Food Palace." Shi Tiancheng raised his head, a trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes, and when he spoke, Wang Ming nodded with a serious expression.
"You must have guessed that what the Food Palace is talking about is actually a catering store, he was established more than 20 years ago, when he was famous for cooking some rare beasts, the number of dishes is not much, but every dish, whether it is texture or taste, is incomparable to the store outside."
"The scale of the food palace is not large, and then gradually the fame is more resounding, many dignitaries or rich people, want to taste the dishes of the food palace, need to go through a long queue time, as little as more than ten days, slow or one or two months, and even so, every day looking for relationships, just to taste a bite of the food palace cooked by the people are still endless."
"The variety of dishes in the Gourmet Palace is scarce, no more than three dishes are served every day, as for what to eat, it is completely reserved in advance, and even some extremely cherished raw materials need to be provided by the diners themselves, and for the raw materials that do not meet their requirements, even if you give more money, the chefs in the Gourmet Palace will refuse to process them." Shi Tiancheng said softly, which made Wang Ming slightly stunned, and shook his head a little incredulously, for what Shi Tiancheng said, even Lu Tianfeng had never mentioned it to Wang Ming.
"What do you mean by saying that the Food Palace is actually just a small dining portal?" Wang Ming asked in some surprise, and as his voice fell, Shi Tiancheng shook his head in silence.
"The food and beverage portals under the Food Palace are almost all over Hong Kong, which includes a wide variety of food, most of which are mainly finished foods, and there are still not many types, but the business is very hot, and the real core is the ones just mentioned, which are cooked by Lu Lao himself, and the limited number of dishes is served in three courses a day, and the quantity is limited." Shi Tiancheng opened his mouth to speak, while Wang Ming nodded.
"I spent some time with Lu Lao when I was young, although I didn't get in touch with the core of the gourmet palace dishes, but I also received some guidance from him, and it also became an indispensable foreshadowing for me to get to where I am today, and therefore, if you count it, Lu Lao is also a little kind to me." Shi Tiancheng had a look of embarrassment on his face, sighed at the time that had passed quietly, and sighed lightly.
"Lu Lao is quite low-key, which also leads to the fact that even the food palace is very famous in the catering industry, but there are only a handful of people who have really seen him, and later, I don't know why, the food palace began to gradually decline, and all branches closed down one after another, and finally even the food palace in the base camp quietly disappeared, making countless people in an uproar." Shi Tiancheng spoke again, and Wang Ming also had a look of embarrassment on his face, Shi Tiancheng didn't know what happened next, but he already understood everything.
"A loser has buried everything that belongs to the Lu family." Wang Ming secretly said in his heart, but he didn't say it, these are Lu Tianfeng's secrets, he can tell him that he knows, he has recognized him from the bottom of his heart, and Wang Ming will not violate this trust.
"So, what about later?" Wang Ming asked, but Shi Tiancheng sighed, immediately picked up the teapot, poured some tea into the cup, and after taking a sip, his eyes fell on Wang Ming's body.
"Later... The Food Palace gradually disappeared, and when I had to make a message, Old Man Lu had already traveled west, but his two sons were like stones sinking into the sea, completely disappearing from everyone's sight, I had also searched, but I found nothing..."Shi Tiancheng opened his mouth and said, and as his voice fell, Wang Ming also nodded.
"Such a huge catering industry chain, if you say no, it's gone... It's a pity. Wang Ming opened his mouth and said, the look of embarrassment on his face could not be concealed, just like the crystal palace that he had spent nearly twenty years in his previous life, and the fire overnight made everything return to dust.
"Yes, so, when I saw that your ambition was to build a catering empire, I had some illusions, it seems that there will be some inextricable connections between you and the Lu family, and even more in the knife technique you use, I saw the knife technique that the Lu family does not pass on... Floating Blade. Shi Tiancheng said softly, looking at Wang Ming, hoping to see some clues from his expression.
When Shi Tiancheng's words fell, the expression on Wang Ming's face was slightly stunned and surprised, and then the expression on his face was slightly exaggerated, and the pair of dark eyes looked at Shi Tiancheng in front of him in disbelief, and his mouth opened slightly.
"You keep laughing, does the three-way knife technique have anything in common with the floating spirit knife you said? I'm just practicing the three-way knife technique, I added some of my own ideas, and if I really have a connection with the Lu family, when I meet you, the old man of the past, don't you start recognizing relatives right away, don't you hug such thick thighs, isn't that stupid? Wang Ming spoke, the expression on his face gradually changed from surprise to a smile, and as his voice fell, Shi Tiancheng also nodded with a smile.
"I guess I'm thinking too much." Shi Tiancheng secretly said in his heart, the expression on Wang Ming's face was extremely rich, so that he could not catch a trace of abnormality, for his many years of experience in knowing people, Shi Tiancheng is still very experienced, at this moment, after putting Wang Ming's expression and look into his eyes, he sighed lightly in his heart, and immediately stood up.
"Okay, in that case, I won't delay your time, but there is one thing, I hope that the conversation between the two of us today can be kept secret." Shi Tiancheng opened his mouth to speak, while Wang Ming nodded seriously.
"This is my business card, when you want to come to the kitchen of the state guesthouse to have a look, I will find someone to come out to pick you up." Seeing that Wang Ming agreed, Shi Tiancheng nodded, and immediately took out a business card and put it in Wang Ming's hand, while Wang Ming carefully put it away.
"Let's go." (To be continued.) )
