Continued: Much appreciated
The most surprising thing is that among the two dishes of Master Wu, there is also a spicy chicken, and he has already made spicy chicken for everyone to eat in previous gatherings, will he make it again today? Does that mean that the cooking method has improved? The orange, yellow and red spicy chicken is particularly pleasing in terms of color at first, and the taste is even more fragrant and pure, but I don't know what kind of texture it tastes like.
Master Wu's mysterious appearance aroused everyone's curiosity, and the "cold pot fish" and "spicy chicken" he served immediately attracted everyone present.
Chef Wu smiled and said nothing, paying attention to everyone's expressions, in fact, he was a little nervous, not because he lacked confidence in Xiaoying's cooking skills, but because he understood that everyone in front of him was a guy with tricky tastes, and they were all very good, and they would definitely find out that this spicy chicken was not made by him, so what kind of evaluation would he give?
Shao Qing was the first to notice the abnormality, because the last time he ate Master Wu's spicy chicken, he ate the most at that time, and he also specially asked Master Wu for the trick of making spicy chicken, so he remembered it deeply, but what he ate at the moment was a little different. Although it was discovered from this, Shao Qing did not take the lead in speaking, and instead stretched out his chopsticks to the "cold pot fish".
Luo Kaixuan looked at Master Wu with a little suspicion, and he was also a little puzzled, why didn't the spicy chicken look like it was made by Master Wu's craftsmanship?
Master Wu was now in a mood as if he was waiting for everyone to announce the verdict, and he couldn't help but breathe a little heavier. He knew that somewhere not far behind him, someone was secretly looking at her, hoping that the result would not disappoint her.
Finally, someone spoke......
"Hmm...... Crispy and delicious, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it will be uncooked if it is less heated, and it will be mushy if it is more heat...... Not bad. The chef of the Juncheng Hotel made such an evaluation after eating, and he still couldn't finish picking up another piece.
The other two chefs were also nodding their heads frequently and smiling, obviously an affirmation of this plate of spicy chicken.
Master Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became very pleasant, and he also contained a bit of pride in being a master. Although he has confidence in Xiaoying's cooking skills, bringing Xiaoying here today has a deeper meaning, to pave the way for Xiaoying's future, this trick seems to be gratifying, but it is actually full of adventure.
If Xiaoying's cooking doesn't get the approval of these people, then she may not be able to get a place in an upcoming cooking competition...... Because, among the several people present, two are judges of the cooking competition, including Luo Kaixuan.
Therefore, today's move by Master Wu is to test the taste and subtle psychology of the two judges...... If he knows that the spicy chicken is not fried by him, he will not give a fair evaluation, and if he deliberately gives a bad review, then the fairness of the cooking competition needs to be questioned.
Master Wu is really well-intentioned, and the evaluation he heard at this moment also made him feel that his thoughts were not in vain, except that he was happy or happy.
"Hehehehe...... It's all connoisseurs, I won't sell it, that's right, this dish is indeed not fried by me, it is fried by my unsuccessful apprentice, you didn't say that it is not delicious, I thank you on behalf of my apprentice! Master Wu raised his glass heartily, bowed slightly at the people present, and drank it all.
These polite words are actually Master Wu's modest statement, generally in this case, the more he says that his apprentice is "not successful", the more it represents the master's * love for the apprentice. On the other hand, if you don't make it, you can still bring it here?
Everyone was stunned at the same time, and they were all surprised, Master Wu actually accepted apprentices?
"Old Wu, when did you accept your apprentice? Why didn't there be any movement beforehand? Can the apprentices you accept be called unsuccessful? Then don't our apprentices have no face to come out to meet people? ”
"Hahaha, that's it, Lao Wu, excessive modesty is pride! This dish is obviously deep in your true heritage, and it has a strong momentum of being out of the blue, and you still say that the apprentice is not successful? You...... You're so mad at us! Juncheng's chef said that he was still eating spicy chicken, and it seemed that he really liked this dish.
Luo Kaixuan's fat and round face looked at Master Wu with a meaningful smile: "Old Wu, your trick is really good...... Isn't there something to follow? ”
Luo Kaixuan belongs to the kind of person who "has a pig's face and a bright heart", don't look at his honest appearance when he laughs, in fact, people can be shrewd and abnormal, otherwise how can he be in charge of such a large chain hotel group.
After Luo Kaixuan said this, everyone present understood, and suddenly thought of the cooking competition in the near future, and there were two judges sitting at this table!
Master Wu sat down leisurely, his mood was obviously very beautiful, seeing that Luo Kaixuan had talked about this, he no longer concealed it, and said lightly: "That's right, I brought my apprentice here today, I have a little selfishness, let her try the water first, if the dishes can get into your mouth, I, as a master, can rest assured that she will go to the cooking competition, but there is one thing I have to declare in advance......" Master Wu said this, his face became a little serious.
"Who my apprentice is, I won't disclose it for the time being. I don't want to go through the back door to get a relationship, I just want my apprentice to get a fair evaluation from the judges at the cooking competition. If I let her come out to see you now, I'm afraid that there will be affection during the competition, so everyone's recognition of this dish today has already made me Wu Guoli feel very pleased, I won't say much if I thank you, just drink two more glasses in a while! "Master Wu is cheerful and upright, this temper is known to everyone in the industry, so everyone will not be surprised by his approach, if he is willing to go through the back door to set up relationships, it will be strange.
Master Wu does not disclose his apprentices for the time being, which everyone understands. Connoisseurs will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. All of you here are connoisseurs, and you can know what level the person who cooks with a dish is approximately, obviously, Master Wu's apprentice is very good.
Everyone raised their glasses and praised Master Wu for accepting a good apprentice, and Luo Kaixuan's smiling eyes also had a little strange light......
Before Luo Kaixuan spoke, Shao Qing had already taken the lead.
"Master Wu, this spicy chicken is very much to my liking, I like it very much...... In this way, how about inviting your apprentice to work in the Chinese restaurant of the Nary City Hotel after the cooking competition? Shao Qing's calm expression also had a hint of expectation at this moment, and his wise eyes looked at Master Wu quietly, as if he didn't feel how shocked his words were.
Nauscross Hotel Chinese Restaurant? In a six-star hotel, can an unknown culinary apprentice enter Juncheng? No one will believe it, it's incredible!
The chef from the restaurant of the Juncheng Hotel couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and looked at Shao Qing in disbelief...... But no matter how shocked he was, he still couldn't help but not object, because Jun Cheng was the Yan family's property, and the eldest young master Yan Jiyun was Shao Qing's son-in-law. Shao Qing recruits talents for Juncheng, which is also a kind of meaning that fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, which is reasonable.
"Juncheng is a six-star hotel...... a chef whispered.
Luo Kaixuan raised his eyebrows, as if he was not to be left behind, and said: "Wu Guoli, in fact, I am also very optimistic about your apprentice, if you can come to work in my Grand Triumph restaurant, it can be regarded as a good choice for your apprentice, right?" ”
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange circle...... What's going on, Shao Qing and Luo Kaixuan actually value someone who has never even met in person here? Still want to recruit the past?
For what? To put it bluntly, it's not surprising at all. The reason lies with Master Wu. He never accepted apprentices, but now he has accepted an apprentice, that is to say, that person will be the only successor of Master Wu, and he must be able to pass on his true inheritance, and Master Wu is a figure that many high-end hotels can't invite for a lot of money, he has an apprentice, can he not be sought-after? His apprentice may become the second Wu Guoli, and it is not impossible to even surpass him.
How can a person who does business not have foresight, Shao Qing and Luo Kaixuan's gaze is too high and far, and they are quite sharp, seize this opportunity to grab talents, those who don't grab it are stupid!
"Lao Shao...... Your father-in-law is really caring, so considerate of his son-in-law's family. Luo Kaixuan looked at Shao Qing a little helplessly.
"Talents, those of us who are elders should do our best to support them, give more opportunities to young people, let the culinary art continue to be inherited, and give them more space to play, which is more interesting than eating and drinking." Shao Qing said and consciously or unintentionally turned his head to look at a place not far to the left, with his keenness, he had already noticed that someone was hiding there, and guessed that it was Master Wu's apprentice.
Master Wu couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and he smiled: "The two of you...... Listen to me, both of you. I thank you for your kind invitation, but I can't be the master of this matter, what development route my apprentice will take in the future, I will only guide, I will not impose interference, everything depends on her own wishes. ”
Shao Qing was not surprised that Master Wu would say this, and he was not surprised that Luo Kaixuan would rob him of people.
"Okay, Master Wu, my words have already been spoken, if your apprentice wants to come to Juncheng in the future, you can find me at any time." Shao Qing said briskly.
Luo Kaixuan's little eyes flickered: "Hehe, Master Wu, I mean the same thing as Shao Qing." In addition, by the way, I also told your apprentice that in the cooking competition, I hope she will go all out, I will not show favoritism, but I wish her a good ranking! ”
What these people in the pavilion said, Xiao Ying hid in the dark and pricked up her ears to listen, although she couldn't hear all of them clearly, but the key content was still heard. Especially the part where Shao Qing and Luo Kaixuan invited her to work in the hotel, it was a joy for Xiaoying!
Behind the flowers, a thin figure was covering his mouth and trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of water...... At this moment, she wanted to cry, not because of sadness, but because of ecstasy. The sins of suffering are all gone at this moment, a person who has been struggling in the dark swamp for a long time finally sees the light, and she can do anything now, crying and laughing, she is mourning her painful past......
