Chapter 112: Su Ji's Cooking Competition
After five harsh days, Su Yan and Ning Leru were stripped of their skin, and they came back from the examination room to make up for sleep for three consecutive days, and the relationship between the two was not high, so Su Miao didn't want to ask them how they did in the exam. But after the exam, she finally let go of the heart she had been hanging.
The atmosphere in the back kitchen became worse and worse because of the last time Zhao He and Cheng Tie openly tore their faces, Su Yan finished the exam, and Su Miao also had time to put changing the atmosphere on the agenda.
In mid-June, after Su Ji Pinxian Building closed, Su Miao did not let everyone leave, but recruited everyone together. Whether it was the outfield or the kitchen staff, they all arrived, standing in three rows in the lobby on the first floor, looking at Su Miao in unison.
Su Miao was three steps away from facing everyone, glanced at them, and said seriously:
"Although there is still a month before the seventh day of the seventh month of July, you also know that the Qixi Festival in Fengzhou goes out the most, and those young men and women are also the most willing to spend money, so every year's Qixi Festival is a good day for major restaurants to grab customers and earn business. Su Ji has only opened for a long time, and the Qixi Festival is a good opportunity to promote my strength, so I decided to launch a new signature dish on the day of Qixi Festival. The preliminary decision is a hot dish and a cold dish plus a soup soup, for these three main dishes, I want to hold a competition in the store, as long as the store staff can sign up to participate, a group of three, a cold and a hot soup. The date of the competition is after the close of the fifth day of the seventh month, and the results of the competition will be voted on by everyone, and the dish made by the group with the most votes will be used as the main dish on the day of Qixi Festival, and the winning group will receive a double share of each person's salary in July. ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was boiling, and such a reward as double pay was quite tempting, and even the guys in the outfield were excited, and three or five heads were whispering excitedly. Of course, some people don't fancy the double salary, and in the first competition between the chefs of Su Ji Pinxian Building, several top people will compete for face. Cheng Tie and Zhao He stood side by side, and before they could finish listening to Su Miao's words, their hearts began to boil, and they all looked at each other in unison, and they all snorted coldly with disdain, and at the same time turned their faces away, and their eyes flashed with confidence in their hearts.
Such an expression was fully visible to Su Miao, who was observing them, and the corners of her lips hooked up a smile that seemed to be a smile, and she said crisply:
"That's all I want to say, go back and think about it, if you want to participate, you have to form a team in advance, and come to me to sign up after the night after closing." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the backyard.
After she left, the chatter on the first floor was louder than before, and the eyes of the men and apprentices were shining. Only those chefs who were already in charge were silent, thoughtful, and coldly threw an evaluation look at their peers around them, as if they were looking for someone to team up with, and as if they were assessing the strength of their potential competitors.
In the evening, I took a slow bath in the bath room, and the men in the house didn't like to take a bath, even if they took a bath, they didn't like to take a bath in a stuffy and narrow bathhouse, and they always went to the bathhouse on the next street in groups, so this bath room became exclusive to him and Ning Le and Su Yan, which made him very satisfied, and sharing a bath bucket with two people was already his limit.
Carrying a handkerchief, he came out refreshed, and was about to walk to his room, when he was stopped by Cheng Tie and Niu Guang after only two steps.
"Xiaohui, who are you going to team up to participate in the game that the second girl said?" Cheng Tie smiled and asked in a loud voice.
"No, I'm not going to ......"
"I know, I know, Xiaohui, you don't like to talk and don't make friends with people, so naturally you can't find someone who can form a team at this time. No way, it's really strange and pitiful to be alone, so it's okay, we can barely form a team with you. Cheng Tie's big palm-like hand slapped the shoulder of the aftertaste, and laughed loudly, "That's it, Lao Niu and I are in charge of the hot and cold dishes, and the soup will be handed over to you, you think about what you want to do, think about it carefully, this time we can't lose to Zhao He's arrogant old boys." He said in a hurry, pretending not to see the aftertaste and wanting to interrupt his expression a few times, and after talking to himself, he turned around and left in a hurry with Niu Guang.
After taking a shower and returning to the room, he was inexplicably pulled onto the "thief ship", and the aftertaste was stunned and speechless.
Lingyuan Street, Pinxian Building.
"Since the opening of Su Ji on Shouchun Street, both Pinxian Building and Yipinlou have been affected, of which Pinxian Building has been the most affected, declining for two consecutive months, and it has lost 30% last month. Judging from the current situation, if Su Ji is allowed to develop, Pinxian Building is likely to be more impacted. In addition, over there in the old mansion, the second young master had already heard about the situation on the young master's side, and said a lot of things in the old master's ear, and the old master seemed to be not very satisfied with the young master's actions. Tong Fei stood in front of the rosewood long table and reported in a faint voice.
Tong Ran sat on the chair without saying a word, a beautiful maid was beating his shoulder with a small wooden hammer, he picked up the account book in his hand and flipped through it twice carelessly, was silent for a long time, and laughed:
"I thought that if I continued the previous style of Pinxian Building, I would be able to retain people, but I didn't expect that there was an unstable thing that came out halfway. If the profit continues to decline next month, Changsheng will be transferred from Anzhou, and the head chef will be replaced. ”
"Yes." Tong Fei replied, and his eyes flashed slightly in the lowered eyelids.
On the second day of the seventh month, the government test list was released, and Su Yan was promoted to the hospital examination with the fifty-second place, which made Mrs. Su and Hu so happy that they wanted to celebrate. Ning Le was the last to pass guò, although he passed guò, but he had a lot of uneasiness and hesitation because of such a ranking, and his feelings became a little low.
But anyway, they passed the test, on the fifth day of the seventh month, there are still two days before the Qixi Festival, and after the closing of this day, it is the first cooking competition for all employees since the opening of Su Ji Pin Xian Building.
Although the audience was boiling when Su Miao left the words "the winner of this competition can get double monthly salary", everyone still has self-knowledge after the boiling, so there are only three groups to find Su Miao to sign up: Zhao He, Lin Xin, and Hou Wei from the original pigeon building headed by Zhao He; Pinxian Lou led by Cheng Tie sent Cheng Tie and Niu Guang plus an aftertaste of a duck that was driven to the shelves and stood up to make soup. Huiwei complained to Su Miao before, but was sent back by Su Miao with "Since Uncle Cheng and Uncle Niu are so looking forward to you, why don't you go play with them", so although Huiwei at this time had a boring expression, he was still standing in the team that participated in the competition. The remaining group was a little surprising, and the rookie group led by Chen Sheng was happy and expensive. Tongxi Tonggui is a typical example of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", Chen Sheng actually got together with them, Chen Sheng had never participated in this kind of competition before, he only liked to study his own craft, so Su Miao was a little surprised.
Su Miao led the other employees in the store to sit in the lobby on the first floor, and even Mrs. Su and Hu Shi rarely came to join in the fun, in order to feast on their food.
Everyone was excited, gathered at a table, laughing and whispering. Usually they can only eat the staff meals made by their apprentices, but today they can eat the food made by several famous chefs in the Su Ji Pinxian Building, which is definitely one of the luckiest things in this life.
Su Miao leaned back in the chair, glanced at the three groups of people, and said with a smile:
"Although I don't have any requirements, but after all, it is the menu to be used for the Qixi Festival, the color and fragrance are one thing, and I hope you can try to fit the theme of the Qixi Festival, men and women, flowers before the moon, date to put river lanterns, ask for a sign to visit the temple. In short, give full play to your romantic feelings and make a delicious meal that can arouse the tenderness and emotion in people's hearts! ”
"What do you mean by romance?" Cheng Tiehu asked Niu Guang suspiciously.
Niu Guang shook his head: "Generally, I can't understand what the second girl says. ”
Cheng Tie scratched his half-bald scalp with a broken head: "The girl's house recently is really getting more and more confusing, Xiaohui, do you understand?" ”
After a long time, the corners of my lips suddenly hooked up, and I smiled:
"It turns out that she wants to go to the river lantern and visit the temple, this is a good idea!"
"You didn't listen to me." Cheng Tie suddenly laughed when he looked at him, and he had goosebumps, and the young people now are becoming more and more difficult to understand.
"It's going to be an hour, let's get started!" Su Miao said with a smile.
Before the words fell, the three groups turned around and entered the kitchen.
Su Miao sat on the chair with one hand on her cheek, Su Xian leaned over, bumped her head on the shoulder, and asked with a soft smile:
"What are you going to do on July 7?"
"Do what?" Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and replied casually, "What can you do, of course, is cooking in the kitchen." ”
"On the seventh day of July, the old customs of Fengzhou, go to the Weaver Girl Temple to pray, worship the magpie god, eat Qixi fruit, swim in the lake, and release river lanterns, you don't plan to do these with Xiaohui'er?"
"July 7 is not a regular holiday, and he and I are not available." Su Miao said in a natural tone.
"He didn't say he wanted to go out with you?" Su Xian asked suspiciously.
Su Miao thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, what's wrong?" ”
Su Xian's eyes became more and more suspicious when she looked at her, and suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear:
"I said that you two are really planning to get married, since the last time you told me that you two were going to get married, it seems that the two of you have never gone out alone, and getting along every day is no different from the past. You say you're dating, but what are you dating? ”
Su Miao was slightly stunned, stunned for a moment, her eyes floated up, she rubbed her lips and thought for a long time, and said to her seriously:
"Anyway, there's always a little bit of a difference, right?"
"You ask me?" The corners of Su Xian's mouth twitched fiercely, paused, and said, "In my opinion, it is difficult to go tepidly like the two of you, and if you want to develop naturally!" ”
Su Miao was a little chilled by this, and hurriedly smiled: "It's just that we haven't gone out together, we usually get along alone, so there should be no problem." ”
"This is the big question, why are two people who are not married like an old husband and wife, he doesn't even want to invite you out to play, you don't want to go out with him, the pot is more important to him than you, the pot is more important to you than him, are you really understanding each other on the premise of getting married, or are you actually just like-minded?"
Su Miao was stunned, warm as water? Old husband and wife? The pot is more important to him than her, and the pot is more important to her than him?
No way!
At least for her, the pot is more important than him......
Aftertaste and pot, pot and aftertaste......
"Eldest sister, don't talk nonsense!" Su Miao thought for a long time, Huo Di stood up and said angrily, "Xiaoweiwei and pot are obviously as important to me!" ”
It's just as important......
Dozens of people in the lobby heard this, and they all looked at her with their faces raised, looking at her without saying a word, their eyes wide open, and their mouths wide open.
Hu was talking to Mrs. Su, but Su Miao suddenly called out and made the two of them feel embarrassed, and they collectively came up and slammed her on the back, and Mrs. Su scolded in a low voice:
"Dead girl, what are you talking about!"
"How can you talk like that!" Hu scolded with hatred, and slapped Su Xian twice, "You are such a big person, what are you messing with your sister!" ”
Su Xian didn't expect the answer she heard to be "Xiaoweiwei is as important as the pot to me", the tail of her eyes twitched fiercely, the kitchen is still far away from here, and there is a lot of noise in cooking, so Xiaohuier shouldn't be able to hear it. Glancing at the crowd of people watching the excitement in a warn manner, the crowd who wanted to laugh hurriedly lowered their heads and pursed their lips and laughed.
Su Miao tilted her head and blinked, was she wrong, the pot is her favorite career, and the career is the life she has fought for all her life, Xiaoweiwei is as important as her life, isn't this what it means to be very important?
But when he saw Xiao Weiwei again, his face seemed to be a little gloomy, and Su Miao, who was inexplicably empty-hearted, suddenly found it and swallowed his saliva involuntarily.
The first dishes to be served were three groups of soups, Hou Wei's pheasant barley soup from Zhaohe Group, Bixi Lake Ulva Soup with aftertaste from Cheng Tie's group, and Crab Soup with Tongxi from Chen Sheng's group.
Pheasant barley soup is said to be the former pigeon building hot dish manager Hou Wei's specialty, the pheasant is peeled, washed and blanched, cleaned and drained, put into the stew bowl, add an appropriate amount of clear soup, put in rice wine, Sichuan pepper, green onion ginger juice, barley stew together until the chicken crispy rice is rotten and then take out. Debone the chicken and cut it into shreds, put it in a bowl, add rice wine, shredded mushrooms, shredded winter bamboo shoots, shredded rape heart, salt and boil together, then add pepper and balsamic vinegar after boiling, put it into the pot after it comes out of the pot, and drizzle with sesame oil.
Put an appropriate amount of hot water in the pot, put the chicken breast in the middle heat and cook for a quarter and a half hours after boiling over high heat, rinse thoroughly with cold water, and tear it into fine filaments according to the texture. Put the washed lettuce, shredded ham and shredded chicken into the chicken broth that has just been boiled, boil over high heat, add water, starch and salt to the soup, mix evenly and pour in sesame oil, which is mellow and smooth, delicious and delicious. The lettuce is emerald green, the chicken breast is snow-white, the ham is crimson, the color is bright, soft and fragrant, the soup is pure and delicious, although it seems to be light, but because of the clear and fresh that is perfectly set off, it is not inferior in front of the rich and gorgeous pheasant barley soup.
