Chapter 50: A Bowl
"Hey...... This is the scallion roasted sea cucumber made by Li Gengxin? Master Bao, who was standing in front of the monitor, squinted his eyes and looked at the roasted sea cucumber with green onions in front of him, his face full of disdain.
Jin Daya smiled at Master Bao and the others with a flattering expression and said, "This chef is nothing more than that, I thought we were completely trampled under his feet this time?" I didn't expect it to be like this! Hahaha......"
Master Yang looked at Jin Daya coldly beside him, and suddenly said, "You mean that Li Gengxin is not very good at making sea cucumbers?" ”
"I really don't know if I'm good at it or not, Master Yang. Anyway, I know it's very good, but what you make is that...... Don't believe you? As he spoke, Jin Daya gently pushed the plate on the table to Master Yang.
Master Yang paused for a moment, then picked up the table knife on the table, gently cut a small piece of sea cucumber, and poked the fork to send the sea cucumber to his mouth.
It was just two bites. Master Yang turned his head and spit the sea cucumber into the trash can next to the table.
Master Bao sighed and cut with a knife. Then he poked it up and sent it to his mouth.
"Hmm...... Purely ornamental. I couldn't see what was going on from the monitor just now, but I knew there was a problem when I saw them surrounding the sea cucumbers one by one. I didn't expect it to be such a big problem! ”
Master Hu, who had not spoken, frowned and asked, "What do you mean...... This scallion roasted sea cucumber has no soul? ”
The soul naturally has no soul in it. Everyone knows that the soul of Chef Hu is the essence of the dish. Just like Li Gengxin's stir-fried kale with garlic that impressed Yang Hongli, it felt like spring......
"I want to see what to do tomorrow! Hahaha! I thought it was amazing. This designated dish is dried shrimp. Hahaha...... "The gloating Master Bao is really beautiful this time." The appearance of Li Gengxin shook the status of all Diaoyutai chefs.
When an outsider first participates in the production of a state banquet. When a piece of tofu led the king of Thailand wanted to send his own imperial chef to compete and communicate. When the national economic going out policy high-speed rail is equated with a gastronomic "exchange".
The chefs of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse have become soy sauce parties and passers-by. How can these people be comfortable?
"Master Bao. That Li Gengxin's boss Yang Hongli pulled Li Gengxin and didn't know what to do. Could this be a variable? ”
"Change? Hahaha...... Even if that Yang Hongli took Li Gengxin to find the sea cucumber king, and people are willing to teach Li Gengxin to learn, do you think you can rush there in one night? Hahaha...... This time, Li Gengxin is lost! Master Bao looked up to the sky with a rampant smile on his face. In the eyes of everyone. Master Bao, who was so excited, almost hit his chest with both fists, imitating a chimpanzee. ”
Looking at Master Bao, who was so excited, Master Yang glanced at the sea cucumber on the table. muttered softly: "What if Li Gengxin really finds the sea cucumber king?" After all, this sea cucumber isn't that bad, is it? All the cooking techniques are counted in the city. Only...... But there is no soul, if it is put into the soul ......"
"The braised sea cucumber I made with green onions has no soul?" Li Gengxin subconsciously muttered a sentence of Yang Hongli's words, squinted his eyes with his head and pondered.
Yang Hongli looked at Li Gengxin who was sitting opposite him, turned his head to look at the diners around him, leaned back slightly and said, "Actually, you don't need to be discouraged!" I think the scallion roasted sea cucumber you made just didn't go the right way. Who says a chef can't fall on his heels? Isn't there a proverb that says it well? ”
"Where he falls, lie down?" Li Gengxin smiled awkwardly and asked Yang Hongli rhetorically.
"Giggle...... Still have the heart to joke, right? Looks like I'm worried about you in vain. Yang Hongli responded with a smile.
Li Gengxin pursed his lips slightly and said, "Actually, I didn't think of the sea cucumber I did...... Forget it, since I'm here, I really want to learn how to make authentic roasted sea cucumber with green onions. ”
"Miss Yang...... The ...... of the scallion roasted sea cucumber you ordered" The waiter walked to Li Gengxin and Yang Hongli with a plate of scallion roasted sea cucumber, and put the plate of scallion roasted sea cucumber in the center of the two of them.
Yang Hongli turned his head and smiled at the waiter, before he could speak. I heard the waiter say: "Miss Yang, our boss is talking about something, come over in a while, he asked you to wait a while...... I'm sorry. ”
Yang Hongli smiled. He shook his head and said it was okay.
Looking at the back of the waiter leaving, Li Gengxin grinned and muttered, "Mr. Yang's big face!" Do you know the CEO of Fortress Garden? ”
"Huh...... In the early years, Fortress Garden was a joint venture of the company. Although the nature of this is similar to that of our Dejuquan, we have an absolute controlling stake in our hands. Many branches are still in the hands of each house of the Yang family. But Fortress Garden...... Hehe! Yang Hongli said a few words, paused, and then said: "The nature of their boss is fundamentally different from that of our Dejuquan. ”
What do you mean. Their boss is just a puppet at the front desk who is owed money? Although it is not very obvious to say, who is the red hand behind the scenes. Li Gengxin's words are naturally clear inside and out.
"Well, my dad and the person in charge here are good friends. And. The person in charge here went from a chef to the management step by step, and finally took charge of Fortress Garden. My father would always help them with something. So Uncle Wang, I've known him since I was a child. After Yang Hongli finished speaking, he frowned slightly and said, "Oh, don't just talk!" Try their roasted sea cucumber with green onions! ”
Li Gengxin has been affected by online jokes recently, and every time he hears the word Uncle Wang, he can't help but think about it. grinning dryly, he hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and put his energy on the plate of scallion roasted sea cucumber in front of him.
This plate of braised sea cucumber with green onion is served on a snow-white bone china plate. There is no excessive decoration, and there is no artistic decoration like the new food of today. But at first glance, there is a feeling of great ingenuity in it. Perhaps this is the essence of a century-old brand.
"Well, the dish is brown in sauce, and the combination of sugar and soy sauce looks very appetizing, and the appearance is shiny and shiny...... It smells like a very strong onion scent. Li Gengxin pinched his chopsticks and commented.
Yang Hongli nodded and said, "Taste it?" ”
"Let's ...... it" chewed a piece, Li Gengxin put down his chopsticks and said: "Flavorful, soft and tender, fresh and delicious." ”
Yang Hongli asked with a look of expectation between his eyebrows, "Do you have any direct feelings now?" The two of us shouldn't have any scruples, right? What to say directly! ”
Li Gengxin looked up at Yang Hongli, and asked with a slightly shy face: "Can you just say whatever you want?" ”
Yang Hongli nodded and said, "Of course!" ”
Li Gengxin nodded, and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Waiter, bring me a bowl of rice!" (To be continued......)
