Zhu Baiju and Zhang Qiude heard Lin Ling, who claimed to be the "player chef", say polite words that were different from their immature appearance, and a smile appeared in unison, and they took it for granted that old Gordon taught him to say this behind his back.

So these dishes are also made by old Gordon?

Old Gordon's craftsmanship, Zhang Qiude is still more trustworthy. While opening the disposable lunch box, he asked Lin Ling, "Where is your boss Gao?" ”

"Mr. Gordon is working." Lin Ling looked at Zhang Qiude with a calm expression, fortunately, he felt that something was a little strange when he heard the waiter say that there were guests in the VIP box ordering their dishes, so he took it upon himself to follow up and take a look, and did not get angry with Old Gordon.

Old Gordon disliked the chef's contact with his guests the most.

"Work? Your boss ......" Zhang Qiude wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhu Baiju.

"Seek virtue, eat and see first."

Zhu Baiju's original intention of coming today was to explain and apologize to old Gordon for the defeat in Gordon's kitchen tomorrow, and in his opinion, a game that has nothing to do with the overall situation is as important as adding 500 new jobs. But now that you've met the player chef who will be competing tomorrow, it's okay to give it a try.

Anyway, he's going to be a wicked man to the end.

Zhu Baiju scooped a large spoonful of shiny spinach with a cheap plastic spoon, sent it to his nose and sniffed it, then frowned and asked, "Put cream in it?" ”

"Melted cheddar cheese." Lin Ling knew very well that Zhu Baiju could smell the smell, Cheda cheese was a British specialty, and he thought that the reason why Zhu Baiju asked so much was probably because he meant to be elegant.

Getting along in a different place, Lin Ling didn't think that a little red guy who didn't even have a beard could make any delicious dishes.

Zhang Qiude, who had already eaten a whole plate of cold spinach, put down the spoon, wiped his mouth with a wet towel and said, "This is not the craft of old Gordon. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Baiju stopped his hand, Zhang Qiude has no other skills, in terms of eating, it is absolutely first-class, he said that it is not the craftsmanship of the old Gordon, and it is not the craftsmanship of the old Gordon nine times out of ten.

Things got interesting.

"I'm the one who seasons the cold dishes." Lin Ling said generously. There is no cold spinach salad or spinach salad on the menu of Gordon's kitchen, because many old leaves are removed to make this dish, and only the most tender leaf tips will match the texture of the cooked eggs, mushrooms, bacon shreds and garlic, so that they are easily soaked in the vinaigrette. This is contrary to the old Gordon's philosophy of doing the best with things, "It's nice to be to your taste." ”

After Zhu Baiju tasted it, he praised it: "The mushrooms are handled very well." ”

He actually prefers this Western-style seasoning method more than Zhang Qiude, but he doesn't mention the spinach in the main ingredient, only the side dishes.

Lin Ling shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly, the mushroom was indeed handled very well, and he almost cut off his fingers for this.

Zhang Qiude disagreed and took a sip of kitchen tea without speaking.

Zhu Baiju opened the paper cup, took out a vegetable strip, looked at the thick Thousand Island salad on the bottom of the paper cup, and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Seeing the crispy vegetable strips, Zhang Qiude wanted to find fault and lay the groundwork for sending them a failure tomorrow. After all, you can't let the leader be a villain, but he saw that Zhu Baiju didn't mean to express his position, so he temporarily put away his careful thoughts and ate vegetable strips with peace of mind.

The vegetable strips are refreshing, the Thousand Islands salad dressing at the bottom is delicious, and the variety of flavors is moderate.

Whether it's cold spinach or a vegetable cup, the taste is above the standard......

Zhang Qiude suddenly understood why Zhu Baiju didn't express his position, not to mention cold spinach, this vegetable cup alone, the level is restaurant-level, and it can be put into the restaurant to promote without any improvement. He considers himself a gourmet, although the cold dishes of Dachun Winery are good and have their own merits in taste, but the dishes are not novel enough, lack creativity, and the pickled kimchi does not look good in fresh salads.

Just let them rejoice one more night.

Zhang Dawei grew up and ate quickly, and he didn't notice that Zhu Baiju, who was sitting opposite, was silently holding a vegetable cup.

The unique delicacy of intellectuals made Vice Mayor Zhu see more clues.

The vegetable strips are served in paper cups, which are dry and not damp at all.

However, the vegetable strips inside are obviously pickled and chilled, and they taste good even if they don't stick to the Thousand Island salad dressing. But the paper cup in his hand was dry.

Paper cups are the thickened type.

Zhu Baiju touched the inner wall of the cup with his hand, and it felt smooth to the touch. He took out his finger and sniffed, smelling a sweet and sour smell mixed with the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Glutinous rice? Rice wine? In order not to soak the paper cups, they coated them with a layer of thick rice cakes like sake brewing to lock in the moisture?

Zhu Baiju raised his head and looked at Lin Ling who was stunned and put two containers with soup on the table with the waiter, he was also an old customer of Dachun Winery, so he naturally knew that the chef there had a few catties and taels, I am afraid that even the master there would not pay so much attention to details when making a banquet.

If Gordon's kitchen had paid as much attention to detail as this fruit and vegetable cup, it could be said that the winery had lost half of the game before it was compared.

Zhu Baiju glanced at Zhang Qiude, who was unwrapping the paper, and smiled bitterly, this old Zhang has found a terrible opponent for Dachun Winery......

"The plastic cup is filled with Spanish two-color cold vegetable soup." Lin Ling added a cup of kitchen tea for Zhang Qiude. After nodding with satisfaction, Director Zhang scooped a spoonful into his mouth, then raised his glass, and asked him with glowing eyes, "Can you just drink this?" ”

"Of course." Lin Ling nodded, he glanced at Zhu Baiju who was drinking borscht, and found that Zhu Baiju had only touched one or two bites of the two cold dishes just now.

Is it the taste that doesn't match the taste?

Lin Ling quietly observed Zhu Baiju who was drinking the soup, and he noticed that Zhu Baiju was very accurate in the spoon, and he would inevitably catch some genuine dishes every time, instead of drinking soup like Zhang Qiude. Moreover, every time Zhu Baiju drank borscht, he would take another sip of a different drink poured into three cups.

The concentration of borscht is strictly controlled by Gordon Jr., and it should be equal in sour and salty.

Lin Ling believed that with little Gordon's craftsmanship, he would not make such a low-level mistake as knocking over the salt shaker, and just when he was distracted from thinking, Zhang Qiude, who had two bowls of soup, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and asked Zhu Baiju with a smile: "The taste of this soup, Vice Mayor Zhu has also tasted it, right?" ”

"Well, Mr. Gao's son's craftsmanship, last Christmas, the city government invited foreigners to dinner, and he cooked this borscht, but the taste of the soup was not as balanced as it is today." Zhu Baiju also picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, he pointed to the three cups on the table and said, "Drinking orange juice is too sour, and drinking iced tea is too sweet." Only drink this ginger soda, to the taste is just right, will be the door of the tiger. He is also responsible for the following main course? ”

The last sentence was asked to Lin Ling.

"Mr. Gao is only responsible for the seasoning of some dishes." Lin Ling breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that little Gordon had ventured into using green tomatoes and yellow tomatoes in the borscht in order to create a rich taste, and the color of the soup was not as bright red as ordinary borscht looked.

Now it seems, the guy succeeded.

"Really?"

Zhu Baiju didn't speak, and let the waiter remove the plate in front of him.

Four main dishes were delivered to him at the same time, and Zhu Baiju pushed the plate containing the hamburger away slightly, and took the lunch box with the pasta label in front of him.

Zhang Qiude tore open the package of the burger with a big grin, and bit it so unobtrusively.

Whether it was a burger or pasta, Lin Ling was completely sure that it would meet the appetite of the two of them. His only concern was the shepherd's pie that was baked in batches. Although the two servings he and little Gordon had tasted were good, the slightest lack of heat would turn the shepherd's pie into mashed potatoes with meat sauce.

Zhu Baiju still only tasted the pasta before putting down the fork, and the waiter standing behind him pushed another lunch box in front of him for him.

“BBQ？” Zhu Baiju, who opened the lunch box, unexpectedly looked at a large piece of warm beef, lamb chops and bacon mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetable slices lying on the dinner plate, "Don't you think that in terms of ingredients, BBQ and burgers are the same?" ”

"What's that sweet in the burger? I've never made cheese so refreshing. Zhang Qiude also questioned Lin Ling.

"That's pumpkin puree, and I think the pumpkin puree tastes better for charcoal-grilled mushrooms and beef." Lin Ling first answered Zhu Baiju's question after solving Zhang Qiude's puzzles, "We think it is necessary to meet the taste needs of different people, some people like to eat beef and mutton at the same time, and some people like to eat beef with vegetables, so we used lettuce soaked in pumpkin puree and vinaigrette." ”

"Looks like I didn't choose to eat the burger first, was it the wrong choice?" Zhu Baiju put down the knife and fork in his hand, got up and took the hamburger, took a big bite after opening it, swallowed it expressionlessly, and then picked up the knife and fork and skillfully divided the beef and mutton chops into small pieces, skewered them with vegetable slices, dipped them in bacon mashed potatoes and put them in his mouth.

"The taste is really different." Zhu Baiju took out the ginger rice chips and sweet potato fries from the paper bag containing the hamburger and tasted them one by one, he picked up a sweet potato fries and put them under the light, and said to Zhang Qiude as if he was joking, "Qiude, do you see the oil on it?" Do you think I can eat this every day in the UK without getting fat? ”

"Hmm." Zhang Qiude, whose mouth was full of food, nodded mechanically while swallowing hard.

"It's a pity." Zhu Baiju picked up a napkin and wiped his hands, "If only the UK has such delicious fries, maybe I can lose weight when I return to China." ”

"Sir's size is pretty standard."

Lin Ling personally moved the plate for Zhu Baiju and sent the last main dish shepherd to him.

Zhu Baiju opened the dinner plate expectantly, picked up the spoon and inserted the layer of evenly thick mashed potatoes, he was slightly stunned, and then a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Do you know who I am?" ”

Lin Ling smiled slightly, and did not speak.

"Qiude, I'm tired, let's stop here today." Zhu Baiju stood up as he spoke, picked up his clothes and walked downstairs.

Zhang Qiude hurriedly got up and followed, and before leaving, he glared at Lin Ling anxiously and angrily.

The attendants around were stunned by this sudden change, even Lin Ling. He stood there for a long time before he sighed and said, "Please call the assistant store manager." ”

A waiter had just left the house when he saw little Gordon rushing upstairs sweating profusely.

"Lin, what's going on? Why did the VIP guests overturn our food truck downstairs and not allow us to set up a stall here? Little Gordon didn't care about wiping his sweat, so he roared at Lin Ling, "They want me to ask you, what did you do to them?" ”

"It's Zhu Baiju who was sitting here just now." Lin Ling looked at the black sedan that was speeding away with a cold expression, "Sitting opposite him is Zhang Qiude, you say, what's going on?" ”

Little Gordon gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, word by word: "You mean, we're finished?" ”

"Not necessarily, there is still a glimmer of life." Lin Ling watched the black sedan disappear into the night of Tianwen City before muttering to himself, "That's right, there is indeed a glimmer of life......

Seven votes, three against are nothing. As long as he can get one more ...... Just one ......

In the car, Zhu Baiju was holding a box of shepherd's pie that he picked up in chaos, and he looked at the shimmering caramel luster of the meat sauce and the diced carrots in it as if he had lost his soul, thinking about the girl surnamed Xia on the shores of Loch Ness on that snowy day......

The past is unbearable.

"Seeking virtue, I want to be true to my word, I want to be worthy of the investment of 200 million yuan, and worthy of the 500 jobs." Zhu Baiju closed the lunch box as if he wanted to close his memory, he returned to his old look, and said calmly to Zhang Qiude, "Tomorrow, you come to vote for Gordon's Kitchen!" ”

Zhang Qiude sighed noncommittally. In good conscience, after tasting those dishes, he also knew that with strength alone, even if Dachun Winery made the same dishes, it would not be able to win the Gordon Kitchen, which is young and Westernized in style and taste, and no one would be able to make that bowl of kitchen tea, and it would be too late to inform them of the menu change at this time.

Merely......

"Are we going to go to the Grand Spring Winery?" Zhang Qiude cautiously asked.

"Your cousin, I'll explain it myself." Zhu Baiju took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows, "As for the Dachun Winery, let them be happy for another night." ”
