Chapter 287: Prelude to the Palace Banquet
It is already the second snow since the beginning of winter, and the later Taizu once described the northern scenery in "Qinyuan Spring Snow", but the magnificent scene of recklessness.
Jingshi Kaifeng is located in the plain, as long as you climb to the top of the pagoda in the Great Xiangguo Temple, look far away, within the line of sight, covered in silver, all are snow-white, making people feel that they are just an insignificant speck of dust in this world.
"Brother Wen, is this the virtuous man who has passed away? Do you still need our brothers to wear linen and filial piety for them? Pan Huaizheng looked at the snow-white clothes he had just put on his body, and asked Wen Qihang.
"........" is a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, that's what he says. This is the standard for future generations of chefs, and the most fashionable uniform design in a five-star hotel.
"That's right! Brother Wen, we are all dressed in white, why are you wearing black? Gao Chujun looked at the clothes on Wen Qihang's body.
"........" a group of ungraduated chef apprentices, can they be compared to their own chefs!
"Besides, this dress is still pretty good. It's just a pity........ My brothers can't wear filial piety clothes every day! If the elders of the family knew about this, they would have broken our legs. Cao Can said regretfully.
"If you want to be pretty, you must be filial! If this garment is for a beautiful woman. Gee........ I can't say, that's also a different flavor. Pan Huaizheng sighed.
"........" is really a group of second ancestors, and the nature of three sentences is exposed.
"Brother Wen, let's discuss? See if I can do without this! My younger brother's face was already black, but now that I wear this white dress, it looks even darker. Shi Baoji said sadly.
"Stand up, stand up!" Wen Qihang said angrily. Looking at this group of noisy gentlemen, Wen Qihang always felt a bit like a kindergarten teacher's posture.
"First of all, this is not filial piety, this is a chef's uniform, the reason why white is used is to remind everyone that the most important thing in cooking is the word clean, as long as there is a little oil stain stuck to the clothes, everyone can see at a glance.
These days, you have also practiced cooking hard, we don't care about the results, just the clothes, because of the oil stains, a few pieces have been discarded, I believe you also know very well in your hearts.
If we offer unclean food to Your Majesty, don't say whether we will have merit, I am afraid that we will not even have to work hard.
Tomorrow, we will go into the palace to prepare the palace banquet, and this time we will be fully responsible, and we will not tolerate a little sloppiness. As long as we make mistakes, not to mention that our heads can't be saved, I'm afraid that our whole family's heads can't be saved. ”
Seeing that this group of gentlemen had already restrained the laughing look just now, and began to listen to their own speech intently, Wen Qihang softened his serious tone and said: "Although you brothers and friends, you have not studied cooking for a long time, and you may not be able to compare with professional chefs, but the level of cooking skills is actually secondary, and the most important thing is to be attentive."
Only when you add a dish with your heart can it become a dish worthy of its name. Only by making the people who taste our food feel our hearts can we become successful cooks. ”
“........ However, Brother Wen, if we really become good cooks, the elders in the family will break our legs........" Shi Baoji couldn't help but interject.
"........" Wen Qihang said with a dark face: "Do you want to be broken legs, or be beheaded by Your Majesty?" If the dishes you cook this time do not satisfy Your Majesty, your legs will be saved, but will your head still be saved? ”
"........" was intimidated by the smell of sailing, and Shi Baoji couldn't help but wipe his neck with his hand.
Wen Qihang snorted lightly and continued: "But you don't have to worry too much, as long as you give full play to the cooking skills you have studied hard during this time." After all, brothers and friends, during this time, everyone specializes in one dish, even if they don't have culinary talent, but practice makes perfect, there is no problem.
Okay, I won't say anything superfluous.
The future of your brothers and friends depends on tomorrow's battle, and if you do a good job, it is not impossible to soar. ”
"Brother Wen, my father said: Xingjin is a villain. If our brothers won His Majesty's favor with a single dish, would the world mistake our brothers for treacherous villains? Cao Can said worriedly.
"........" is speechless when he hears Qihang, but what later generations pay attention to is success regardless of means, and the heroes advocated by the ancients do not ask about the source, which is not a concept at all.
I really didn't expect that this group of gentlemen who only know how to bully men and women on weekdays still have such a discipline.
"Hey, what Brother Cao said is very true. But my brothers, this time I cook for Your Majesty, not for flattery. In ancient times, there were colorful clothes to entertain relatives, and the filial piety of lying on the ice and begging for carp, and today our brothers just want to offer their own filial piety to the elders who participated in the palace banquet.
As long as we can get a word of praise from our elders, we are satisfied, and as for the additional fame and fortune, let it go with the wind. ”
"Brother Wen is a model for my generation."
"What Brother Wen said is exactly what we think in our hearts........"
"Brother Wen said well, my brothers are just for filial piety, and the rest don't care."
“........”
Wen Qihang felt that his face was very red, this was just another way of saying, in fact, this matter itself did not change anything.
Seeing this group of bastards, they instantly became excited, and they knew that the only bit of discipline left in their hearts of these bastards had gone with the wind.
"Ahem!" Smelling Qihang coughed lightly, interrupting the discussion of the group of gentlemen: "Tomorrow, we will set off, today everyone will be responsible for the dishes again, then rest early, remember to bring their own cooking guys tomorrow, although in the palace, there is nothing missing, but we must also be prepared." ”
"Brother Wen, Brother Rong, let me ask again, is there really no problem with the dishes we made?" Pan Huaizheng still couldn't help but say what he wanted in his heart.
In fact, Pan Huaizheng has wanted to ask this question for a long time, there have always been rules for those dishes that should be made at palace banquets. Otherwise, if you take the liberty of a new dish, in case this dish is not verified, and the emperor or minister is poisoned.
That's going to be a big problem, and even if you want to, you won't be able to explain it clearly.
"Don't worry, I've already reported all the dishes we've made to the Imperial Dining Room for inspection, and there will be no problems."
"Since Brother Wen is in charge, naturally there will be no mistakes." Cao Can interjected. Although there are many rules for cooking for the emperor, a guy who even has to be accurate to the number of ingredients will not be confused in such a big thing.
"I just asked casually, brother, I naturally trust Brother Wen." Pan Huaizheng grinned and said, "But Brother Wen, is there any extra of this cook's uniform?" ”
"One piece is enough for you to wear for a day, right?"
"I feel that if there is a woman wearing this kind of clothing........ It must be good. Pan Huaizheng said with a smile.
"........" chef uniform, as long as it is slightly improved, it is a nurse's uniform! The corners of Wen Qihang's mouth twitched slightly, and he pointed at the room and said, "Disappear in front of my eyes immediately!" ”
