CHAPTER XXXVI
Du Qiyue often went to various banquets to help people make dim sum to make extra money in his previous life, and he had never been to birthday banquets or anything, so he didn't mind going to the He Family Dart Bureau, but Chef Wei's behavior of wanting to take him to the top of the tank made him very unhappy, and he immediately wanted to refuse. But that guy had already been trained by Chef Wei, and after Chef Wei's words, he ran out of the house regardless of whether Du Qiyue agreed or not, and Du Qiyue couldn't stop him if he wanted to.
The man who waited for the news in the front hall was called Ma San, who was the old dart master of the He family's dart bureau, and he was also a little decent in front of Boss He, and some innocuous small decisions could also be decided, he heard the guy say that Chef Wei took the initiative to recommend the new chef Du Qiyue Du in the restaurant to the birthday banquet, and he heard the guy say that Du Qiyue was the best at making fresh dim sum, so he agreed without much thought.
Although Boss He is fierce, but he is a real filial son, he has invited several skilled chefs in his dart game to make good food and drink for his wife every day, Ma San knows that Boss He is now coming to ask the master of Zuifulou to make snacks for his mother's 60th birthday, just for the sake of a better name, as for the person who invited to go is Chef Wei or Chef Du, it doesn't matter, anyway, the chef of Zuifulou will not make things too bad.
Ma San agreed to change the cook, and the guy immediately went back to the kitchen to inform Du Qiyue, Du Qiyue wanted to scold people, but in this case he had to respond. Anyway, everyone can see what happened today, and everyone has seen Chef Wei's appearance, which is not a bad thing for Du Qiyue.
However, Chef Wei's face is really ugly, Du Qiyue snorted in his heart, and made up his mind to make a name for himself at this birthday banquet, he didn't want to be like Chef Wei, but some people just like to specifically look for abuse, obviously they don't have their own skills, and they have to provoke people with better skills than themselves, and they don't know what to think.
After easing his feelings, Du Qiyue went out to discuss with Ma San the types of dim sum to be made at the birthday banquet at that time. Boss He is a rough person, and he doesn't have any research on eating, so Ma San just asks for a fresh dim sum style with good meaning, except for a must-have longevity noodle, what the other seven things to do are all Du Qiyue's own ideas.
Du Qiyue nodded and asked: "Eight dim sum, one of which has to be longevity noodles, it has to be fresh, I know, then I will write this menu to you now or find another time to send it to the house?" ”
"If you have time to write, I can do it now." Ma San scratched his head and said, he is a big old man, standing with a polite person like Du Qiyue, he always feels that his whole body is twisted and he doesn't even know how to put his hands and feet.
"Cheng, then please wait here for a while, I'll go to the shopkeeper to write a list of materials." Du Qiyue said, and then walked to the counter.
Shopkeeper Li was a little embarrassed to see Du Qiyue, Chef Wei didn't dare to go to the He Family Dart Bureau, but he made a plan to let Du Qiyue replace him, and Shopkeeper Li knew about it at the first time, but he didn't go to relieve Du Qiyue. Although he has the heart to take care of some Du Qiyue, but Zuifulou has a total of two dim sum chefs, Chef Wei and Du Qiyue, Chef Wei refuses to do it, and there is only one Du Qiyue left. Now seeing Du Qiyue's serious list of materials to be used for dim sum, the old face is a little red.
Du Qiyue knew all these twists and turns, but being able to understand Shopkeeper Li's behavior in his heart did not mean that he really didn't respond at all, so he didn't see Shopkeeper Li's expression, lowered his head and wrote down the menu names of the eight dim sum with a big stroke of the pen, and wrote down all the materials needed to make these eight dim sum.
The eight dim sum dishes of Du Qi Yue are Golden Cake, Baishou Peach, Chrysanthemum Bergamot Cake, Sugar Steamed Cheese, Fuzi Square Cake, Daifuku, Eight Treasure Rice and Changshou One Noodles. Among them, longevity is Du Qiyue's specialty, with this noodle, Du Qiyue has been famous at many birthday banquets in his last life. One of his noodles is different from ordinary noodles, the average chef makes a noodle that rolls a dough into a very thick noodle, Du Qiyue's noodle is pulled out like a ramen, when it is pulled, it looks like a small pinch of noodles, but there is only one noodle when it is scattered, as thin as a hair, a whole noodle is only a small ball after cooking, and after cooking, it is put into a dark noodle bowl with clear soup, plus some brightly colored side dishes, which is beautiful and delicious.
Shopkeeper Li saw that Du Qiyue had written a large piece of paper freely, which seemed to far exceed the amount of eight dim sum, so he twisted the tip of his beard and said with some concern: "Xiaoyue, will these things be too much?" ”
"Not much, mainly because the noodle soup used to cook longevity noodles is exquisite, there are more materials, and there are not many others." Du Qiyue picked up the written paper and blew the ink that had not dried, and said to the shopkeeper Li: "Uncle Li, please rest assured, I will definitely work hard to do a good job in this birthday banquet, and I will never let Zuifulou lose face." ”
"I know you're good, but the people in the He Family Dart Bureau are not easy to mess with, and you can't get out of the way at all, so you have to be a little more scruples when you do things." Shopkeeper Li reminded him that he was afraid that Du Qiyue would be angry with Chef Wei and make Boss He unhappy by doing things too much for a while, and finally blamed Zuifu upstairs.
"I'm provincial, Uncle Li, I'll go over and hand over this list first, don't make people wait longer." Du Qiyue was impatient and talked to Shopkeeper Li, and pointed to Ma San, who was sitting in the lobby looking at the counter.
"Go, go, don't delay people to do things." Shopkeeper Li glanced at Ma San's face full of anger, and hurriedly waved his hand to drive Du Qiyue over.
Du Qiyue pursed her lips in her heart, walked to Ma San, handed the list to him and said: "The longevity noodles here are my specialty, it is very interesting to do, I am willing to perform on stage on the old lady's birthday, please ask the horse dart master to help me ask if it is feasible when I go back." I also had to cook this noodle soup three days before the birthday feast, and I had to go back to the horse master to give me a post so that I could go to the house and make some preparations in advance. ”
"I can give you this post, but this boiled noodles is also a performance, and this is the first time I've heard of it."
"Naturally boiled noodles are not ordinary noodles, I made only one shou noodle, a hundred feet long, as thin as a hair, and it is the best to make." Du Qiyue puffed out his chest and said, he was quite confident in his craft.
"A hundred-foot-long, hair-thin noodle?" Ma San looked at Du Qiyue and was very skeptical of this.
There are many ways to make noodles, including rolling, rolling, cutting, cutting, pulling, pressing, rubbing, dialing, twisting, ticking, pulling, etc., Dafeng Dynasty now makes noodles usually with simple methods such as rolling, cutting, cutting, and kneading, and there has not yet been this method of ramen, and those methods are relatively thick and short wide noodles, so Ma San can't imagine how Du Qiyue can make noodles as slender as a hundred feet of hair.
Du Qiyue nodded, and said seriously: "This is my unique skill, and I haven't done it anywhere else." Because I heard that He Darttou is a dutiful son, I deeply admire it, so I hope to perform on the day of the birthday banquet to celebrate the birthday of the old lady. Of course, the most important thing is to make himself famous, Chef Wei wants to make him ugly so much, he is not as good as he wants, not only will he not be ugly, but he will crush the name of Chef Wei, the best dim sum chef in Dahu Town.
"If you really have this ability, I will definitely go back to help you, and we will definitely not agree." Ma San said. He actually has a small calculation in his heart, there are more than 100 dart masters in the He family dart bureau, and the competition can be described as quite fierce, a group of big men have no scheming and can't intrigue, in order to promote their positions, they have to work hard to show their faces in front of He Boss, like today, Ma San, who is looking for a cook, can't show his face at all, so he was a little perfunctory, but now that Du Qiyue said this, he moved his thoughts. If Du Qiyue can really make noodles that are more than 100 feet long and hair-thick, then he, the person who asked Du Qiyue to make birthday banquet dim sum, will not show his face, maybe Boss He will help him mention his position as soon as he is happy. Thinking about it like this, Ma San has no reason not to agree, but he is still a little uneasy in his heart.
"Ma Dart Master, I'm just an ordinary person, give me a hundred guts and I don't dare to deceive He Dart, what I said is true, and I want to celebrate the old lady's birthday with absolute sincerity!" Du Qi said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll help you talk about this when I go back later, and if I get it, I'll let my subordinates come to you, and I'll give you the post by the way, don't you think?" Ma San rubbed his hands and said.
"Of course, then we'll settle it, I still have a lot of work to do in the back kitchen, and I'll go in if the horse master is okay." Du Qiyue said.
"You go in, I'm leaving." Ma San said, then drank all the tea in the teacup in one gulp, stood up and patted his ass and left.
After Du Qiyue returned to the back kitchen, Da Mao pulled him aside and asked, "How about Xiaoyue, are the people of the He Family Dart Bureau embarrassed you?" ”
"No, the dart master is quite talkative, and I've already discussed with him the type of dim sum I want to make."
"Then are you really okay, you have never done a banquet before, there are many rules in it, has the master told you?" Da Mao asked uncomfortably.
Du Qiyue really doesn't know the rules of the banquet here, Du Fugui may have said it before, but the original owner doesn't care about these things, so he doesn't have any memory of this. "I really don't know about this, or I'll ask Shopkeeper Li later."
"I'm afraid that the shopkeeper Li is not clear, he doesn't care about our private work. In this way, I will tell you after work, the master used to take me to the banquet to help, and I know the basic rules, but I have never seen any big scenes, and I know very little. Da Mao said.
"Nacheng, I'll invite you to eat eel noodles at that noodle stall by the lake in the evening, and go to the night market to buy some things." Du Qiyue smiled and said, he knew in his heart that it was best to ask Chef Wei about these things, but looking at Chef Wei's way of doing it, he knew that he would not be willing to sue him, and Da Mao was willing to take the initiative to sue him.
A bowl of eel noodles is only about ten yuan, and it is not worth anything, so Da Mao agreed without much thought, and it just so happened that he hadn't visited the night market for a long time, so he could go to the night market to buy some small things for his family.
