Zhao Zixian took a breath, and added: "So make soup, no matter what kind of soup it is, of course, sweet soup is not good, and other soups, there must be chicken soup in them." The traditional hot pot is beef hot pot, which is made with butter and beef bones, without chicken broth, but I improved the soup method of stir-frying vegetables and fused it with the soup of hot pot to make this hot pot taste. ”

The middle-aged man slowly raised his head, and after listening to Zhao Zixian's words, his eyes showed a glint of approval, but the light slowly faded again, as if he remembered a heart that he didn't want to think about, sighed, and said: "Okay, good, a good sentence is not fresh, no bones are not thick." Speaking of this, he seemed to be saying to himself: "I, how long has it been since I have drunk such a rich hot pot soup?" ”

After saying this, the middle-aged man smiled again, put down the spoon, and asked Zhao Zixian: "Young man, let me ask you, you say, what is the best meal in the world?" ”

As soon as these words came out, including Fat Rong, the bodyguard, the manager, and Zhao Zixian, the room full of people were shocked and speechless. What is this called a problem? The best meal in the world.

Meals are inherently very personal things, and what one person thinks is delicious, the other person may not find it delicious. It's like girls love ice cream, men love beer, and old people love porridge. If you change the order, let the girls drink porridge, the men eat ice cream, and the old people drink beer. None of them would agree to this arrangement. So to pick one of the best meals in the world, it's impossible, is there such a thing?

So this kind of question is simply ridiculous, and there is no way to have an answer at all. But seeing that everyone was very confused, the middle-aged man didn't feel strange at all anyway, and he didn't feel that his question was a ridiculous question with no answer at all, the expression on his face was still serious, as if he was looking forward to hearing the answer, and when he saw that Zhao Zixian didn't speak, he asked Zhao Zixian again: "Is this question difficult to answer?" Then let me ask you again, let's not talk about the world, in terms of the dishes of Huaxia, which one do you think is the best? After asking, he paused for a moment and said, "In this way, you can first tell me which cuisines are divided into Huahua Country?" What are the characteristics of each cuisine? ”

A man who came to eat hot pot early in the morning came with bodyguards and drove a BMW. Including Fat Rong and the manager, everyone thought that this person must be a crazy crush on hot pot. Otherwise, how could there be such a big posture at this time.

And Zhao Zixian and the manager and Fat Rong all knew in their hearts that although Haikou was big, the hotel said. But in the morning, there are definitely few restaurants that can make hot pot immediately. But finally this middle-aged man's hot pot was brought to him, and he tasted a small mouthful of soup, but he was not in a hurry to drink it? Instead, he didn't hurry to ask the chef questions.

So the manager, Fat Rong, and Zhao Zixian were a little puzzled in their hearts, so they were stunned on the spot.

And Zhao Zixian thought to himself, this is too underestimate me, I can't say the best food, but can I still not understand the classification of cuisine? Just as he was about to answer, his mind spurted, huh? If you ask me, do I have to say? You come to dinner, I'll make it for you, I'm not a happy dictionary here, do I need to answer your questions like this? You still can't stop asking?

Speaking of which, although Zhao Zixian has a magical experience and can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, he is still a young man after all, with the fire of a young man, and he has not yet reached the point where his heart is like water and he is not shocked. Zhao Zixian himself knows that it is better to be mature and steady, but most of the time he thinks that young people should have enthusiasm and passion. That's an old man.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zixian didn't plan to answer this middle-aged man's question.

The manager and Fat Rong cowered in front of the middle-aged people, on the one hand, they were afraid that this bodyguard would do it, and the other biggest reason was actually that they were afraid that the business would be messed up, not to mention, and they would offend the guests and be fired by the boss. That's why the manager wanted to put the blame for offending the guests on Zhao Zixian.

And what is Zhao Zixian afraid of? I have done my duty, make hot pot and introduce the practice of hot pot, if you chirp crookedly for you, I will show my identity, so that you can get out, I am a little chef to find fun, not to find anger.

Just in the short time when he was stunned and thinking about these things, the bodyguard behind the middle-aged man spoke again, his tone was full of gunpowder, and even some insults, "Our boss is asking you?" Are you deaf? Or dumb? ”

Zhao Zixian really couldn't stand it, although he knew that the bodyguard was full of fighting spirit, but how could Zhao Zixian be afraid of him, so he put on a provocative expression, and was about to say something to fight back, if it didn't work, he would start fighting.

The idea of starting a fight happened in an instant. And the bodyguard's voice had not yet fallen, almost at the same time as Zhao Zixian was thinking about starting a fight, the middle-aged man raised his right hand high, and then seemed to use a lot of strength to slap it on the table, but the middle-aged man's strength seemed to be nothing, and he wanted to exert force, but when his hand fell, he swayed, and finally just gently slapped it on the table.

It was such a light action, which seemed to make the middle-aged man exert a lot of effort, and after slapping it on the table, he was a little out of breath, but he still reluctantly said, "Ah Liang, what kind of tone are you!" You're dealing with a chef! ”

It turns out that this bodyguard is called Ah Liang, such a ruthless bodyguard, and he has such a refreshing and free name.

The middle-aged man's tone was full of majesty and oppression. Especially as if a chef is something very sacrosanct.

After Ah Liang heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and whispered: "Yes, yes, boss......" This was obviously not finished, and after a while, he seemed to be very uneasy and said again: "But boss, your body can't have a little ......."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Ah Liang, you have too many mouths." ”

Ah Liang also said resignedly: "Yes, yes." And he spoke no more. The cold expression returned.

This reminded Zhao Zixian that just now, when Ah Liang scolded the manager away, it seemed to show that his boss had great respect for the chef, saying, "Just talk to the chef, what kind of thing are you a manager." And now the middle-aged man said, "You're a chef in front of you." ”

A chef is just a cook. How can a person with this status be so respected. This made Zhao Zixian suddenly have a deep affection for this middle-aged man. Because of the status of the chef, Zhao Zixian has deep feelings. Not to mention ordinary chefs, even the chef who can make such a magical super dish as "beer duck that can subtract beer belly" was bullied by his superiors everywhere when he was in the "China Health Center", and the boss just regarded himself as a money-making machine, as for those beautiful waitresses, they also wanted to get some valuable news from themselves. There are very few people who truly respect chefs.

Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Jingjing. This little spy sent by Lu Zhonghua to his side wanted to dig up the recipe for his own cooking, but this woman was the first woman after Zhao Zixian developed, and men always remembered their first woman. Moreover, Jingjing also seems to have true feelings for herself. I don't know if I can meet Jingjing. But now is not the time to think about these things.

When I came back to my senses, I saw that the middle-aged man was looking at him with a smile, and this smile was by no means pretended. Zhao Zixian's good impression of him has greatly increased.

The middle-aged man said, "Hehe, young man, how is it?" Can't you name the cuisine of Huaxia? ”

Although this sound like an accusation, there is no tone of accusation at all, but it contains the warm concern of the elders. There are many languages in Huaxia that cannot be read literally, and the tone is very important, such as "I greet your whole family." "Literally, it means greetings, but when this kind of thing is said, it definitely doesn't mean to greet the other party, as for what it means, you know.

By now, Zhao Zixian finally understood that maybe this middle-aged man was a weird person, or maybe even a bad person. How many Gu bodyguards does a good guy have? Only those who do bad things are afraid of the enemy seeking revenge. But this person has absolutely no malice towards himself, or rather towards the chef, not only is there no malice, but he also has great respect.

For those who are good to themselves, Zhao Zixian will definitely be twice as good. The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by springs. This truth is Zhao Zixian's code of conduct. Although it is not gracious now, but people have a good attitude towards themselves, and if they are too arrogant, they can't talk about it.

So Zhao Zixian raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't underestimate people, the food of Huaxia is divided into eight major cuisines, namely Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Suzhou cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Hui cuisine. After speaking, he added, "In fact, there are countless dishes in Huaxia, and these eight cuisines are the eight most distinctive among them, and the cuisines of Huaxia are far more than these eight cuisines." ”

The middle-aged man smiled approvingly and said, "Well, that's right, then tell me what are the characteristics of these cuisines." ”

Most of today's chefs know these things when they start to learn to cook, but after entering the restaurant, they only consider the preferences of the guests, cook different dishes according to the preferences of the guests, and even make Sichuan dishes sweet, because they have to be eaten by Guangzhou people. And Cantonese people are not very good at eating spicy. The chefs are all thinking about how to make money, and they don't pay much attention to the cuisine. And now the transportation is developed, restaurants are opening all over the country, blooming everywhere, and chefs are also running back and forth. The dishes of each place are also mixed with each other, and the characteristics are not so prominent. Therefore, many chefs understand it when they are apprentices, but after a few years of cooking, the classification of cuisines has been diluted.

Therefore, the middle-aged people saw that this boy who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, that is, just a cook, could speak so fluently, and he appreciated it even more.

Zhao Zixian smiled lightly, other chefs will forget, who am I, Zhao Zixian, the heir of the kitchen god, if I forget these things, the master will have to punish me in heaven. So he said clearly: "Let's talk about Sichuan cuisine first, everyone in the country knows about it, right?" Pay attention to one word, spicy. It turns out that there is also a song called "Hot Girl Spicy, Hot Girl Spicy, Hot Girl is Not Afraid of Spicy Since She Was a Child", which is about the girl in Sichuan. There are many of the most famous dishes, boiled fish, boiled pork slices and other boiled dishes, mapo tofu, sauerkraut fish. It's all Sichuan cuisine. Let's talk about Shandong cuisine, it is Shandong cuisine, commonly used green onion fragrant boiling pot, the dishes are slightly fresh and crisp and tender, the characteristics of Shandong cuisine are that it can highlight the original taste of the ingredients very well, the famous dishes braised large intestine, Shandong steamed balls, braised conch and so on. Then it is Cantonese cuisine, it is also one of the largest cuisines in China, a major feature of Cantonese cuisine is that it is rich in materials, there is a saying called "do not ask birds, beasts, insects and snakes, all eat it", as long as it is alive, Cantonese people can make a dish, of course, the most famous is fresh seafood, and Cantonese cuisine often puts sugar, salt, chili, sugar often appears in a dish. The dishes are both sweet and salty, and are very unique, with famous dishes such as crispy roast suckling pig, plum cabbage button pork, stuffy lobster, and pan-fried beef tenderloin. ”

Then, Zhao Zixian introduced the lotus leaf soft steamed fish of "Hunan cuisine", elbow in sauce, Xiangxi hot and sour pork, and "Zhejiang cuisine"

Longjing shrimp, Dongpo meat. and several other famous dishes.

After finishing speaking, the manager and Fat Rong were dumbfounded. There are so many things, you have to remember, it is very difficult, to say all the characteristics of Huaxia cuisine and representative dishes in one breath, and it is even more difficult to get it. At this time, Fat Rong was not only simply afraid of Zhao Zixian, but also had a trace of admiration. It's just that Fat Rong thinks that he is already twenty or thirty years old, and Zhao Zixian is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Admiring a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy is obviously a very shameful thing. Fat Rong forced this feeling of admiration in his heart. It's not difficult, the feeling of hatred is much stronger than admiration.

Even the manager looked at Zhao Zixian in disbelief, he couldn't imagine that this young man had learned so much in his chest. The average handyman only copes with his own work and goes to play games on the Internet, how can he have the time and patience to remember so many things.

But the middle-aged man didn't seem to think so, and felt that it was not a big deal for Zhao Zixian to say the eight major cuisines and characteristics of Huaxia and the signature dishes, so he didn't have any fluctuations in his expression, and he was still as kind as before.

After listening to Zhao Zixian, the middle-aged man said again: "Well, that's right, it seems that you know a lot about the cuisine of Huaxia Kingdom, then, let's go back to the original question." ”
