Chapter 49: The Leader of the Dishes

"Li Gengxin, I have prepared the porridge you asked me to make...... Forehead? Hong Honghong rushed into the kitchen in a hurry. As he walked, he talked and came to the periphery of the crowd. Suddenly found that the scene at this time seemed to be a little too strange, although I couldn't tell what was happening at this time.

However, the oppressive atmosphere in the kitchen is the same as climbing the snow-capped mountain road leading to Mount Everest.

didn't finish a word, Hong Honghong's words were swallowed stiffly.

At this time, Li Gengxin didn't realize that there was a problem with the sea cucumber he made, but he just felt that the taste was average. I don't think there's anything particularly bad about it!

However, everyone's reaction exceeded Li Gengxin's own expectations.

With his gaze, Li Gengxin glanced at Yang Hongli awkwardly, and then pursed his lips and smiled.

It's just that, in Yang Hongli's opinion, Li Gengxin's smile is indescribably stiff.

"You did it?" Yang Hongli's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character. I got the results I didn't want. Yang Hongli slowly put the chopsticks on the side of the plate, his eyes were a little hollow, and he didn't know what to think.

"What did you do?" Hong Honghong whispered outside the circle of people at this time.

Li Gengxin saw that Yang Hongli only asked a certain question, and then stopped talking. I was embarrassed to say something to Yang Hongli with a shy face, and at this time, I just heard Hong Honghong ask myself, frowning and muttering to the wok: "That...... You can try the braised sea cucumber with green onion I just made. ”

After speaking, Li Gengxin didn't look at Hong Honghong more. His eyes fell on the face of Hai Tian on the side

"Huh...... "......Hong Honghong ate a sea cucumber in three bites.

"How?" Li Gengxin asked Hong Honghong.

Hong Honghong looked at Li Gengxin and sighed, and asked rhetorically, "You did it?" ”

"Hmm. I did! Li Gengxin nodded calmly in response.

"This, this shouldn't have been done by you!" Hong Honghong responded in a whisper.

Zhao Dahai, who was standing on the side, listened to Hong Honghong's words. Na Na opened his mouth, as if he had something to say to Li Gengxin. But when facing Li Gengxin, Hai Tian wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Gengjiao's afterglow caught Zhao Dahai's expression, turned his head and asked Zhao Dahai with a wry smile, "Master Zhao, are you ...... If you have anything to say, just say it! ”

"Uh...... Actually, I would actually say that this dish is still a good ...... It's not too bad......" After the squeaky Chong Li Gengxin finished speaking, Zhao Dahai raised his hand and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead.

"Isn't it too bad?" Li Gengxin muttered with tears and laughter.

Nalan Qiancheng frowned at Li Gengxin with his hands on his chest at this time and said, "Update, in fact, you made this dish." In terms of technique and heat. I couldn't find any flaws! ”

Mo Xiaoxian nodded slightly on the side and said, "It's perfect in most aspects." The toughness of the sea cucumber, the thickness of the soup, the aroma of green onions, etc., are enough......"

"It's a pity that it doesn't taste good, right?" Li Gengxin asked with a sigh.

"Doesn't it taste good? No. Didn't you see that the sea and sky said that it was delicious? Nalan Qiancheng turned his head and pointed to Hai Tian and said with a bitter smile.

"Well, I think it's pretty good!" Hai Tian frowned at this time, and responded helplessly.

Nalan nodded humbly and said, "Yes! It's not that it's not delicious. It's just too ordinary, too ordinary, too ordinary. If the dish is made by someone else. I would definitely say that it was well done. It's just that this dish was made by you Li Gengxin. It's made by you, the new chef. What you shoulder is the duel between the royal chef of the King of Thailand, and it is the heavy responsibility of whether our Chinese high-speed rail can be spent in Thailand. Therefore, if you make this dish of roasted sea cucumber with green onions, everyone's mood will be low. ”

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Li Gengxin nodded, probably understanding a little in his heart.

"No wonder I just feel that I am doing so-so, and everyone's expressions and momentum are already so low. It is the sea cucumber that everyone eats with the mentality of the original "chef king" Li Gengxin. There is no secret recipe to redeem from the God of Food. Food has no soul, that's why everyone will be disappointed! ”

Li Gengxin looked at Nalan Qiancheng. I want to hear Nalan's humble opinion. But what he didn't expect was that Nalan Qiancheng just grinned bitterly at this time: "I...... I also want to know how to make a soul! Besides, it's not like you don't know that I'm not a chef of the Lu cuisine faction. I don't know much about roasted sea cucumbers with green onions! ”

Mo Xiaoxian saw Li Gengxin at this time, and his gaze turned to his face. Hurriedly shook his head and said, "You know that my routine is biased towards the Western faction. Let me make scallion roasted sea cucumbers, then you will be really embarrassed for me. ”

Hong Honghong's frowning brows did not stretch at this time. just calmly looked at Li Gengxin's gaze.

Yang Sanwu frowned in the corner and pondered for a moment. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. But that smiling cheek froze for a moment. Yang Sanwu seemed to swallow what he wanted to say back into his stomach.

"I want to ask a question!" Yang Hongli suddenly said aloud to everyone.

Li Gengxin subconsciously looked back at Yang Hongli, and the eyes of everyone next to him also focused on Yang Hongli's face.

"Mmmm, you said ......" Li Gengxin responded softly to Yang Hongli.

"It's not your technique. The cooking heat and so on are fine, but the scallion roasted sea cucumber has no soul? Although Yang Hongli said that Li Gengxin was asking. But his eyes are looking at all the chefs in the back kitchen.

Mo Xiaoxian nodded slightly and didn't speak.

Nalan Qiancheng hummed and said loudly: "Yes, I think so for the update. It seems difficult, but it's not that hard. It seems that it is not difficult, but it is full of mysteries. For example, this dish of roasted sea cucumber with green onions, from all aspects, you have noticed and dealt with it. But he just doesn't taste good, which means that there are some soul details that we haven't mastered well, right? ”

"Li Gengxin, you arrange things in the kitchen, and I'll take you out!" Yang Hongli suddenly straightened his neck and said loudly to Li Gengxin.

"Get out?" After Li Gengxin subconsciously asked Yang Hongli, he couldn't help but think of something in his heart. After sighing extremely helplessly. said to Zhao Dahai: "Master Zhao, you help me keep an eye on the "three sets of ducks" on the stove!" ”

I gave instructions on the things in the kitchen. Li Gengxin turned around and looked at Yang Hongli who was standing behind him.

After squinting his eyes. Suddenly, he found that Yang Hongli actually walked in front of him with one step. He raised his hand and grabbed his wrist and said, "Now is a race against time!" ”

…………

The red Audi A4 sedan is stuck in the steel torrent of the capital. The roar of the engine can be heard even in a car with very good sealing.

Li Gengxin sat in the co-pilot's seat, his left hand raised high and grabbed the armrest on the window, his face was a little sallow.

It's not that Li Gengxin is too old-fashioned, or that Li Gengxin is anything else. It's really Yang Hongli's car that is too domineering.

I said...... You...... Can you slow down? I now suddenly feel like I'm strapped into a seat belt. It's the same as if it were nothing! Li Gengxin complained at Yang Hongli.

Yang Hongli, who was bright-eyed, didn't pay attention to Li Gengxin at all. Holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, the car has been driven onto the Liangguang Road in the capital.

"Where are we going, can't you really tell us in advance?" Li Gengxin asked Yang Hongli with a wry smile.

This question Li Gengxin has been asking repeatedly since the moment he was dragged out of the kitchen by Yang Hongli. But Yang Hongli didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't answer a word!

"Go to Uncle Wang!" Yang Hongli suddenly responded.

"Huh?" Subconsciously was taken aback by Yang Hongli's words. Li Gengxin tilted his head sideways, squinted his eyes and asked, "What kind of uncle are you talking about, yes, what is Uncle Wang doing?" Li Gengxin asked Yang Hongli curiously.

"Once, Uncle Wang's dish of roasted sea cucumber with green onions sold for more than 600 yuan in a year. It has become the single item dish with the highest revenue generation in a single store in the country. Yang Hongli said to Li Gengxin.

"Ahh Li Gengxin muttered in amazement. But that's not the end of the game. Li Gengxin seemed to be about to say that he wanted to ask something. Yang Hongli suddenly continued: "You don't need to say it, you should know where the scallion roasted sea cucumber is the most delicious, the most authentic and the most dished, right?"

Looking at the Liangguang Road in Beijing outside the window, and looking at the direction of the situation in the front of the car, Li Gengxin was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "You, don't you plan to recommend me to them?" ”

"Haha...... If you want to push it, it's not now, why don't I have to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions? Yang Hongli made a joke. Then he continued: "Uncle Wang once won the Culinary Artist Lifetime Achievement Award from Oriental Cuisine, and created another classic for his restaurant.

After all, it is bright red on this "color"; The "fragrant" taste is strong and attractive on the green onion; The "taste" is salty, fresh and palatable; Make a very beautiful dish on the "type". It must be matched. The title of the leader of sea cucumber dishes! ”

As he spoke, Yang Hongli made a dozen pay-off reels. The Audi drove into the parking lot of Fortress Garden.

Looking at the building in front of him, Li Gengxin grinned and said with a slightly wry smile: "Fengze Garden, a time-honored brand in Beijing. I didn't expect you to bring me here. ”

Yang Hongli muttered and asked while reversing the car, "What?" Don't you like it here? I dislike people who are old. The menu is not innovative enough, is it? ”

"That'...... Not really. Li Gengxin smiled bitterly twice and responded to Yang Hongli.

After parking the car, Yang Hongli's fingers were lightly forced, and after pressing the seat belt with a click. said: "Actually, don't think that Fengze Garden is not innovative enough. This is a famous time-honored restaurant in Beijing that operates authentic Lu cuisine. At the same time, it is also one of the "eight buildings" in the old capital! ”

"Well, I know. It was founded very early. I've heard a lot of the story. It is the "head of the hall" of Xinfeng Building, Luan Xuetang, and the establishment of Dafan Zhuangzi under the funding of Yao Zesheng, the manager of Tongde Yinhao. The name of the store is also borrowed from the Zhongnan ~ Hainai garden building "Fengze Garden", as the name of the restaurant. ”

Say this. Li Gengxin glanced at Yang Hongli, and saw that she was holding a mobile phone in her hand and didn't know what she was fiddling with, Li Gengxin frowned slightly.

Yang Hongli raised his hand and looked at Li Gengxin, and suddenly said with a smile: "I still know a lot!" So what else do you know when you tell me about hands? “

After thinking about it, Li Gengxin nodded at Yang Hongli and said: Fengzeyuan Restaurant is famous for its authentic Lu cuisine and flavored dishes. The most famous is Kyohachi! Baked steamed buns, silver silk rolls, bar heads, etc. Many people pass by and buy a few. ”

"Since you know that it is Lu cuisine, don't you know that the scallion roasted sea cucumber here is the famous dish of the Dingding, right?" Yang Hongli asked Li Gengxin rhetorically, and then continued: "Do you know? The father of Uncle Wang Yijun, whom I brought you to meet today, is the real chef!

He once won first place in a national competition with a dish of roasted sea cucumber with green onions. Since then, he has been known as the "King of Sea Cucumbers" in the catering industry at home and abroad.

People's roasted sea cucumbers with green onions sold for more than 6 million yuan in one year. It's an absolute miracle that a single store sells a single dish. And I'll also tell you that this record was set in the last century. You also know how much difference the money was back then and the money it is now! Speaking of this, Yang Hongli smiled bitterly and complained to Li Gengxin: "You...... I don't know why I just set my eyes on the baked steamed buns! Are you joking or serious? ”

Yang Hongli asked Li Gengxin helplessly.

Li Gengxin smiled bitterly twice, he really didn't know why this Uncle Wang was so powerful......

Entering the Fortress Garden, the hall is magnificent. Li Gengxin looked up, and the railing was rising layer by layer.

In the past, the big restaurant with four courtyards, green halls, fine decorations, elegant environment, and unique style has long kept pace with the times, and the old appearance has changed into a new look.

"How many gentlemen?" The girl in the lead saw Li Gengxin and Yang Hongli walking in. Hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Li Gengxin compared to the scissorhands and said with a smile: "Two ......"

"Please come with me...... the leader bowed and said, and then led Li Gengxin and Yang Hongli to the small table by the window and sat down.

"We want a dish, roasted sea cucumber with green onions. By the way, you talk to the back kitchen. Let's just say that this dish was ordered by Yang Hongli! Yang Hongli smiled at the waiter.

The waiter was flustered, but didn't say anything, didn't ask anything. After placing an order warmly and thoughtfully, he poured a cup of tea for Li Gengxin and one of the people in the sample line.

"In the past, some restaurants in Beijing made sea cucumbers with green onions, which were dark in color and wide in juice, and thin in taste. "Suiyuan Food List" also contains: "Sea cucumbers are inactionable, the sand is fishy, and it is the most difficult to please, but the nature is strong, and it is impossible to simmer in clear soup." In view of this, Fengzeyuan Restaurant has reformed it and adopted the practice of "attacking it with strength", using strong color, thick juice and strong flavor into it, and achieving the four perfections of color, flavor and shape.

After all, roasted sea cucumber with green onion is a famous dish of Shandong cuisine. It is mainly rich in green onion and unique in flavor.

After it was introduced to the capital, the chef here changed to a small sauce and a small pot, and the amount of oil used was reduced, and the taste was fresher and mellower. In terms of specific production, Fengze Garden is the best.

The sea cucumber here is delicious, soft and smooth, fresh and delicious, and there is no residual juice on the plate after eating. The dish is brown in sauce, the sea cucumber is soft and smooth, shiny and shiny, and has a strong green onion fragrance. When the dish comes up, you can taste it! (To be continued......)
