Chapter 59: Who Are You?
Fang Yu strode from the kitchen to the middle of the noodle restaurant, clapped his hands, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
When the surroundings were quiet, Fang Yu glanced at the audience with a confident smile.
"Distinguished leaders, guests and media friends, the store is open today, thank you very much for taking the time to come and cheer me on. I am a chef and I can only express my emotion and gratitude through my cooking skills. I've cooked two snacks for you today, and I hope you'll make your trip worthwhile. ”
After speaking, Fang Yu waved his hand, and the two concierge ladies who had been arranged in advance pushed out two dining cars. Each dining car has more than a dozen black lacquered bowls with wide mouths and shallow bottoms.
"Please try the restaurant's main dish, Soul Noodles." Fang Yu nodded with a smile, and the concierge lady distributed a bowl of noodles to each guest.
Liu Zhenqiang and Wang Jinrong accompanied Guo Hui, the boss of Jincheng Group, and Ou Yang, the editor-in-chief of Baiwei, to sit on the left side of the noodle restaurant.
Guo Hui and Ou Yang have also heard Liu and Wang praise Fang Yu many times before, and today they also want to take this opportunity to take a good look at what special skills this small Fang boss has, which can make people praise his cooking skills.
When the black lacquered noodle bowl was placed in front of them, they immediately began to examine the bowl with a professional eye.
In the center of the bowl is a plate of white jade-like noodles, which looks white and shiny against the black lacquer.
The noodles don't have many ingredients, but the colors are very harmonious, with green chives, brown sprouts, dark red crispy berries and golden peanuts sprinkled on the noodles in an orderly manner, forming a large windmill pattern.
Ouyang had heard Wang Jinrong's description and knew that the ingredients of this noodle were only on the surface, and the deep taste secret was hidden under the noodles.
He stretched out his chopsticks and carefully flipped the corner of the noodles, and a rich aroma of peppercorns rose with the heat and rushed to his nose, the familiar and special aroma made him fall into a state of forgetfulness for an instant.
Ouyang has been fond of food since he was a child, and he has a special fondness for Sichuan and Shu's traditional condiments, Sichuan peppercorns. He had never smelled such a delicious hemp fragrance, but he felt that his mouth and nose were full of that special fragrance, and a kind of thrill that made people shudder went straight to his brain.
Guo Hui saw that Ou Yang just lifted the corner of the noodles and stopped, and was a little puzzled. He knew that this old friend had always been picky, and often used Kong Sheng's "Eight Non-Foods" as the standard, could it be that he found some flaws and was unwilling to taste them?
Guo Hui was afraid that Ou Yang would be stubborn again today, and when the time came, it would be difficult for Liu Zhenqiang and Wang Jinrong, the two old buddies, to do it, so he quietly kicked Ouyang with his foot.
Unexpectedly, after Ou Yang was kicked by him, he didn't glare back at him like before, but quickly tossed the noodles and gobbled them up.
Guo Hui was taken aback by Ou Yang's abnormality, and said secretly in his heart:
"How did this kid open up today, I hinted a little that he was performing so hard, and he acted like that. If I hadn't known how picky this guy was and didn't eat more than three chopsticks in most of his dishes, I would have believed that this noodle was so delicious. ”
Guo Hui smiled, turned his head, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and glanced at the audience, and was taken aback again.
There was an eerie silence in the whole noodle shop, surrounded by the sound of soft chewing and the occasional sound of chopsticks touching the bowl.
Guo Hui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, is this noodle really so delicious?
He also picked up his chopsticks and began to stir the noodles vigorously, a spicy sauce aroma mixed with the sweet aroma of wheat, the aroma of meat oil, the fragrance of shallots, the fresh fragrance of sprouts, and the peanut burnt aroma made it difficult for him to suppress his appetite, and he also joined the ranks of munching.
The soul noodles made by Fang Yu today are an improved version after learning and comprehending the "way of taste" during this time.
First of all, the production of noodles, after absorbing Zhao Lei's white case skills, Fang Yu first tried to integrate the kung fu of the ancient "Five Poultry Opera" into his cooking, although it is still very rudimentary and jerky, but the quality of the noodles produced is also higher than before.
In order to make the opening ceremony leave an unforgettable impression on every guest, Fang Yu has also made significant improvements in ingredients and condiments. The ingredients used in this bowl of noodles are carefully selected and re-selected.
It is no exaggeration to say that the appearance of the current soul hook surface seems to be similar to what I thought before, but in terms of depiction taste, it is already a difference between heaven and earth.
Ou Yang scraped the bottom of the bowl and found that there were no remaining noodles, so he immediately stood up, "Boss, the hemp fragrance of your sauce is made from Maowen's big red robe." ”
Fang Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Ou, you are really a big expert, you can eat it as soon as you eat it." ”
Ou Yang smiled, "I can't do anything else, I just know how to eat." Maowen Dahongpao peppercorns are big and red, the meat is thick and oily, and the hemp fragrance is good, which is really the best in the peppercorns. You still use a string of peppercorns in the top beads, the essence of the best, and fragrant and hemp, with Shuangliu Erjingtiao freshly made chili oil, enjoyable, too enjoyable, worthy of the soul of the face. Boss, bring me another bowl. ”
It didn't matter what his voice was, and the guests in the audience also said that they wanted to add another bowl
Fang Yu really admires Ou Yang's ability, he can only do it by relying on the extraordinary five senses given by the ancient "Five Fowl Opera", Ou Yang can do it with the body of an ordinary person, he must be a person who really loves food.
Admiration is admiration, Fang Yu's requirements for him are absolutely unsatisfied.
Fang Yu was a little lucky, and his clear and calm voice sounded in the noodle restaurant, even the hustle and bustle of the audience could not be suppressed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be calm. The snacks served in the shop today are all precisely calculated, and if you still have an appetite for the second snack after a while, I promise to make another soul noodle for you. ”
Although the guests were a little disappointed when they heard this, the host could only temporarily restrain their appetite and wait anxiously.
Guo Hui and Liu Zhenqiang also hurriedly sat down Ou Yang. Ou Yang also knew that he was a little rude, but he really loved the taste too much, and muttered in his mouth: "How can you accept other flavors after eating such a strong delicacy, it is better to bring me another bowl and let me enjoy it all at once." ”
Du Changfeng sent someone to send a flower basket to Fang Yu in the name of Shu Xianghui in advance, and today he also came with Su Agarwood with a dead face.
Fang Yu didn't have time to accompany Su Shenxiang all the time, so he arranged for her to sit in the elegant seat in the middle of the left side of the pavilion, and Du Changfeng also ran over to sit opposite her, just sitting behind Guo Hui and Ou Yang.
Du Changfeng was already unpleasant to Fang Yu, but just now when he heard Su Shenxiang praise the soul hook face, he was even more angry, and kept slandering him. But after tasting it, he unconsciously ate the noodles in the bowl, and under the shame, he felt more and more that Fang Yu had embarrassed himself in front of Su Shenxiang.
There was nowhere to vent the resentment in his heart, and now when he heard Ou Yang's complaints, he immediately took the opportunity to play on the topic, stood up and said with a smile:
"Boss Fang, your preparation for opening a store is a little insufficient, and you can't even supply the guests who came to congratulate you, how to do business in the future, I'm really worried about you." Otherwise, just let me Shuxianghui buy your small restaurant, lest you end up with poor business in the future.
All the guests looked at Du Changfeng, and the people they knew introduced his identity to others, and everyone secretly guessed that Boss Fang had offended Shu Xianghui before, and came here to smash the field today?
This is too unsophisticated, in the catering industry, you still have to talk about some rules, and curse people to close the door when they open, which is worse than kicking the widow's door, second only to digging people's ancestral graves.
Although Fang Yu saw Du Changfeng once last time, he didn't take him seriously, and now he has forgotten him a long time ago, seeing that he came with Su Agarwood, he thought he was her subordinate or relative.
Now that Du Changfeng suddenly stood up and made a difficulty, Fang Yu was a little stunned, and then asked Su Shenxiang with his eyes, and Su Shenxiang immediately made a gesture that I don't know him.
Knowing that Su Shenxiang and this guy didn't deal with each other, Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at Du Changfeng with some playfulness, and asked, "Sir, what about you?" ”
