Chapter 256: Linjiang No. 1
()'Linjiang No.1' restaurant is located on the bank of the Pujiang River, which is known as the 'International Architecture Expo'. Inside the One Building on the riverside, the restaurant occupies three floors from the fourth to the sixth floor. The name of the restaurant 'Linjiang No. 1' lives up to its name.
The windows of the restaurant facing the river are all made of bright and shiny floor-to-ceiling windows, and sitting through the window of the restaurant, you can see the beautiful scenery of the Pujiang River and the scenery on the other side. On a holiday night, when the lights of the surrounding buildings are lit up, the neon and fishing fires are contrasted, and the night view is beautiful.
'Linjiang No. 1' restaurant includes both Western and Chinese food. On the fourth floor of the building is a high-end western restaurant, specializing in F-style cuisine. It attracts tourists from all over the world with the most authentic F-style methods and tastes. In particular, its signature dish, 'veal stewed in white sauce', has been praised by all diners who have tasted it. When the consulate of country F in Shanghai holds an important banquet, it often invites the chef of the restaurant to help.
In Shencheng, this western restaurant is not the oldest and not the most famous, but in the hearts of those gourmets, the F-style meal here is the most authentic and worth tasting in Shencheng.
Of course, its price has always been high.
The fifth and sixth floors are Chinese restaurants. Half of the fifth floor is the lobby with scattered seating, half is the back kitchen, and the sixth floor is full of large and small private rooms. The main food here is Cantonese cuisine, with Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine and Shencheng cuisine.
The abalone made in this restaurant is famous in Shencheng, but in Zhou Fang's opinion, it is not the case.
'Let me give you a taste of authentic roast suckling pig today. I sat down in a private room on the sixth floor, with the waiter serving tea and waiting for the order list. Zhou Fang didn't read the recipe, smiled and said a word to everyone, and then reported a bunch of dish names very familiarly.
'Order a roast suckling pig in the open oven, a roast goose in the oven, the goose should be a little thinner, and then a Wenchang chicken, a casserole porridge......
Zhou Fang can order as he wants. After a while, more than a dozen dishes were ordered. Everyone also ordered drinks separately, and the waiter wrote them down one by one, and then prepared to leave the box.
Zhou Fang stopped her again.
'Wait a minute. Which chef is here today? Chef Lee or Chef Guo? ‘
It's Chef Lee. The waiter bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
"Linjiang No. 1" is one of the most high-end restaurants in Shencheng, and there are often distinguished guests, and the attitude of the waiters towards the guests is repeatedly emphasized by the restaurant's senior management.
"Then please ask you Chef Li to take charge of the cooking yourself, otherwise the taste will not be the most authentic." You write down my card number. Report that Chef Li will make a move. Zhou Fang took out a delicate black frosted card from his bag and handed it over.
'Okay, please wait. The waiter replied respectfully again, took the card with both hands, copied the card number, returned the card, and left the room.
'Teacher Zhou, what kind of card are you holding?' And can we ask the chef to help us cook? So powerful? Cui Zhengguang asked directly with a smile, not at all as cautious as he had just met Zhou Fang.
Cui Zhengguang is the most familiar with people, and in just one afternoon, he is familiar with Zhou Fang as if he has known each other for a long time. Zhou Fang also likes Cui Zhengguang very much, this afternoon. She had already complained about Ye Zi several times, and she didn't bring Cui Zhengguang to see her earlier. In that way, many things could have been done a little better. Even Professor Li Zhentao, Teacher Zhou Fang's lover, was very interested in talking with Cui Zhengguang, and the two could still talk about it. Cui Zhengguang made a lot of comments about some social phenomena and misreasoned 18 points, but he was able to win the recognition and support of Professor Li.
This surprised Ye Zi.
Cui Zhengguang is so talented, Ye Zi is definitely willing to bow down.
Zhou Fang handed the card to Cui Zhengguang and said with a smile: "This is not a good thing. When the restaurant opened, I helped them advertise it a few times. My boss gave me this card. The discount is nothing, the main thing is to be able to let the chef cook, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it. ‘
For Zhou Fang, the director of the art department of the TV station, this is indeed true. It's not a big tone. In Shencheng, there are various characters who beg her. With the increasing influence of TV shows, Zhou Fang's power will also be further expanded. As long as she still holds the position of director of the Literature and Art Department, or becomes the leader of the TV station at a higher level, then basically only others ask her, and there is no one for her to ask others.
The importance of the TV station determines this qiē. For businessmen, the more successful the businessman, the more inseparable the help of the media.
This is especially true for entertainers.
For these singers in the box, from a certain point of view, Zhou Fang holds their power of life and death.
Everyone took turns to 'admire' this 'magical' card that could ask the chef to help, and everyone was amazed. Of course, Liu Qi wouldn't take a VIP card too seriously, so he took it and gave it to others after taking a look.
Ye Zi took the card in his hand and observed it carefully for a while. Compared with the expensive cards that were made of materials in later generations, although the material of this card is ordinary, it is just a general alloy material, but the texture is very heavy, and the frosted treatment on the surface of the card is also fine, which is obviously done with great care. There are almost no patterns on the card, except for a few smooth lines running across the left and right on the matte black surface, and a few numbered numbers in the lower right corner of the card. Judging by the number 003 of the card, the level of this card is definitely not low.
After everyone had read it, Zhou Fang put away the card and said with a smile.
Originally, I wanted to take you to eat seafood, but then I thought that you had eaten enough seafood when you were in Xiangjiang, so I might as well take you here to taste authentic Cantonese cuisine." After taking a sip of tea, Zhou Fang continued: "Do you remember the roast suckling pig we ate in Xiangjiang? I tasted it and didn't touch it, and it was very unsatisfactory. Later, you can taste the roast suckling pig of this house, which is tender and crispy, and that is called authentic. ‘
And that roast goose, which is also the most delicious in the whole city, you can taste it later." ‘
It is said that the seafood of Cantonese cuisine is delicious, so we will engage in a special non-seafood today, and taste the special flavor of pig, chicken and goose in Cantonese cuisine. ‘
Zhou Fang's words made everyone present salivate. From the last dinner at the 'Little Nanguo Snake Restaurant', you can know that Zhou Fang is definitely a senior gourmet, and she is the absolute most vocal among everyone about which restaurant in Shencheng is the most distinctive and what kind of dishes taste the most right.
'Little leaf, this meal will cost you a lot of money today. Zhou Fang said meaningfully with a bit of banter: "The awards have already been held by you, and you should let everyone slaughter you, right?" ‘
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, what you said is so right, I have long wanted to slaughter him. Zhang Lei immediately coaxed: "If I don't eat his two or three thousand yuan today, I will definitely feel uncomfortable." Teacher Zhou, when we finish eating this round, you can order another round, why don't you have enough to eat! ‘
When they heard this, they all burst into laughter. Zhou Fang's side, Professor Li Zhentao also couldn't help but laugh.
For a party like this, it is inevitable to bring family and friends, otherwise the number of people is too small and it is not interesting. Today, except for Zhang Lei, who came alone, everyone else brought at least one. Jin Qiaozhen's boyfriend and Cui Zhengguang are both attending the dinner for the second time, Zeng Chun's mother followed her to Zhou Fang's New Year's greetings today, but Zeng Chun's mother's eyes always pay attention to Ye Zi, which makes Ye Zi feel like a man on her back all the time, and she is not happy. Liu Qi also brought a 'friend' today, and followed him without saying a word, from Teacher Zhou Fang's house to the private room of the restaurant. As for whether this one is a 'friend' or another character, no one knows.
Today, there are eleven people, and a round table just sits down, and it doesn't look crowded. As soon as Zhang Lei said this, everyone laughed, waiting for Ye Zi's statement.
Ye Zi stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhang Lei, who was smiling evilly, and said angrily: "I knew that it would be no good for you to get together with Cui Datou, but it doesn't matter, don't you just want to kill me?" Come on, who's afraid of whom? ‘
'Teacher Zhou, look,' as he spoke, Ye Zi stretched his head in front of Zhou Fang: "My neck is clean, right?" I washed it before I went out today. ‘
Everyone was slightly stunned, and they didn't understand what Ye Zi meant. Cui Zhengguang didn't care about this, and stretched out his right hand forward and gently slashed at Ye Zi's neck.
Then I'll slaughter it." You're welcome, let's come along! Hahaha...... Choi Zhengguang laughed and cut down.
Then everyone suddenly burst into laughter again.
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.
With a knock on the door, the door opened, and two waiters walked in with trays and began to arrange the cold dishes on the table.
At the door, a man in a gray suit was standing there looking into the room with a smile, and his gaze quickly stayed on Zhou Fang.
The noise in the room suddenly stopped. (To be continued.) )
