Chapter 433: Organizing a Modern Tour (44)
The smell of rice floated in the room, but Su Mengbei no longer planned to continue dining.
He didn't vomit, he didn't feel nauseous, which means that the level here is already okay.
Of course, it is also his endurance that is actually much better than before.
Over the years, he has done a lot of training to keep his tongue sensitive, but at the same time, he has also trained his patience with coarse food and taste.
Yang Yuying and Situ Qing thought about it, ordered two more dishes, asked for some rice, and then filled their stomachs first.
"Mengbei said, do you want to continue to taste food elsewhere, or wait until you finish Situ Zhi's work, and I'll make it for you when you go home?"
Su Mengbei said with a smile: "Since they are all out, I still want to taste the food here." ”
He sighed slightly: "Actually, some of the dishes should be very good, I have watched a lot of food shows, and they are all great." ”
Lord Yang's craftsmanship is definitely not bad.
Although Su Mengbei has not enjoyed it, he has also heard his colleagues talk about Lord Yang, saying that she is the pearl of the Imperial City Division, very smart, and especially valued by Zou Zhang.
Some people also said that Zou wanted to cultivate Lord Yang.
In the near future, their Imperial City Division will have a female leader.
Su Mengbei, as a drug tester, although he was waiting for His Majesty, he was considered to be a person close to His Majesty, and his status was not low, but according to the rules of the Imperial City Division, the difference between his level and Yang Yuying was countless levels.
When necessary, Lord Yang sent a message to him to die, and he also had to be ordered.
Now that Lord Yang is asked to prepare three meals a day for him, Lord Yang is happy, but he also feels embarrassed.
Situ Qing went to settle the bill, and everyone was about to leave, when a strong man with at least one meter nine and strong muscles came out from behind.
Several guests around were shocked.
Such a strong man, fierce and vicious, full of murderous aura, several people couldn't help but hide to the side.
This person smiled politely at Su Mengbei, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was full of magnetism, and it was actually very good: "Guest, how are the dishes in our store doing?" Not to your taste? ”
Su Mengbei said softly: "Stir up the fire for a while." He looked up at the kitchen through the clear glass, then turned back and said, "Thirty-one seconds more, it would be better." ”
Without waiting for someone to answer, Situ Qing pushed his wheelchair and hurried away.
Netizens in the live broadcast room: "Did we watch a food show?" ”
"It should be said that we watched a foodie show."
"What's this, it's very well loaded. Thumbs up! ”
"Like plus one."
The live broadcast room was lively, but Hong Wei was startled, returned to the back kitchen and gathered his short hair, and fried a plate of shredded potatoes.
After frying and tasting it, Hong Wei's thick and thick eyebrows stretched out, and he grabbed it and called his master.
"Master, I think my shredded potatoes are delicious, when will you come and taste them?"
Chef Bai was a little surprised: "Oh? Then you have to try. ”
Hong Wei talked about what happened today, and laughed while talking: "In the early years, I listened to the stories of the ancestors of the older generation, saying that our ancestors had just graduated from the school at that time, and their skills were not bad, but there was something that seemed to be owed. ”
"The master of the ancestor said to his old man that it would take a long time for him to comprehend the little thing he owed, and when he greeted enough diners, he would slowly understand."
"But I didn't expect that the ancestor went out to study in all directions, but met a Diao tongue in Xiangjiang, every dish he made, the Diao tongue can find faults, the master is also a stubborn, vowed to make this tongue satisfied with the dishes, so he was willing to accompany the waiting, stay by the side of others for a year, and finally have a few dishes, so that Diao Tongue is satisfied, and he is silent after eating."
"From that day on, Shizu was truly reborn and became a generation."
"What I met today wouldn't be a tricky tongue?"
Chef Bai couldn't help but laugh when he heard his eldest disciple chattering there, "Then do you want to go and serve others for a year and a half?" ”
Hong Wei: "When he comes to eat, I can give him a 5% discount." ”
The master and apprentice didn't pay much attention to it, at most they felt that the one who came to the 'Yu' building today was indeed a picky and good diner.
Unexpectedly, within two days, Hong Wei saw the diner in a wheelchair again, and the scene was a bit ...... Eccentric.
This day happened to be the fourth day of the eighth month.
The qualifiers for the annual Golden Knife Award Competition in Hengshi were held in Hengshi Bihai Hotel today.
There are a total of 25 hotels in the country that have won the invitation to the Golden Knife Award this year, and there is none in Hengshi, so the celebrity chefs of the city's hotels can only compete for three places.
The Golden Knife Award is a relatively niche but authoritative competition in the chef world, which is jointly organized by the Gastronomy Association and the Chef Association, and is mainly dedicated to discovering new talents.
Chefs who are already particularly famous are rarely able to compete for this award.
All chefs who want to participate in the Golden Knife Award competition can send a letter to the gastronomic association if they meet the requirements.
Within a year, the gastronomic association would send foodies to make unannounced visits to the hotels where the chefs were staying.
Generally, they go in groups of five.
The three of them give a consent vote, and the chef can participate in the Golden Knife Award competition.
However, if you don't pass the food critic exam, or miss the time to deliver the letter, there is still a chance, and the Golden Knife Award will send invitations to 25 hotels across the country to invite chefs.
Generally, some invitations are also given to some cities where there are many celebrity chefs.
Chefs can compete for these invitations.
Today's qualifiers in Hengshi are a competition for chefs to compete for three invitations.
Hong Wei has not paid much attention to such a competition.
He's an old-fashioned guy, and he always thinks that how good they are for a bunch of cooks to put their minds on greeting good diners, what's the use of having so many flowers?
The tongues of the old diners will comment on their craftsmanship, and they don't need to be pointed at by others.
However, there are many relatives and friends in this business, and the old-timers asked him to be a judge, but he was embarrassed to refuse.
A total of 49 chefs should participate in today's competition, and the topic of the draw is river fresh, you can bring your own ingredients, or you can choose river fresh purchased by the blue sea.
Hong Wei pinched the time to the Bihai Hotel, and saw two gourmets, the chefs of the Royal Capital Hotel and the Longhai Hotel, Sun Chengcheng and Wang Chen poked on the rostrum, playing with their mobile phones seriously.
The chef of Bihai Hotel and the others stared at the three participating chefs in the lobby, and looked back at Hong Wei: "It's better than ...... Is it? ”
There are three places in Heng City.
There were only three people who came to participate.
Hong Wei: "......"
The Bihai Hotel is about to cry here.
"A lot of reporters came, brothers, not only reporters from our city, but also reporters from the province, and reporter Wang from Food Weekly was waiting in the lounge to participate in our food competition."
"What now?"
Hong Wei: How does he know?
"Can you ask what's going on?"
Xu Ying, the public relations manager over there, made several phone calls in a row, and finally smiled bitterly: "Look at this." ”
Take your mobile phone to call up an article on the official account, the official account is the official website of Dashun, and there is an extra food review article in it.
The review article is obviously unfocused, just focused on commenting on how bad the food really is.
But it's just fascinating.
Many food lovers are unconsciously attracted by the content of the article, and the shortcomings of those dishes that can't be tasted seem to fall on the tip of the tongue and cannot fade.
Diners are also gone.
Those chefs have listened to this man's comment, and since then they have fallen into a state of madness, cooking the same dish over and over again, and even feeling that their cooking skills have improved little by little after a long time.
It feels like playing a cooking game.
Every practice is not in vain, as if the naked eye can see the experience bar slowly rising.
"The top dozens of chefs in Heng City have suffered major irritation for a period of time, and all of them are in retreat and research, as for our qualifiers...... I called Chef Cheng of Hangzhou Cuisine, and Chef Cheng listened to me say a few words, and his assistant chef said, don't worry about the competition, the chef is busy and won't participate. ”
Everyone: "......"
Hong Wei: They were speechless for a while.
Just thinking about how to end this time, Hong Wei's phone rang, and Yu Xiaoxian, the king of fish in Hengshi, called him.
“…… I heard that you are in Bihai now, do you recognize Master Zhou of Bihai? They have taken away the best rainbow trout and yellow croaker on the market, can you let me have a few, there are important guests today. ”
Hong Wei just hung up the phone.
Over there, Chef Chen also received a call from the manager of the catering department of the first residence of Hexian, who wanted to borrow a batch of high-quality Hexian.
The phone rings one after another.
As soon as everyone inquired, the top chefs in Heng City, the most conspicuous celebrity chefs this year, are now competing for beauty, not for anything else, just to get the gourmand who was named a god in Heng City for the first time, Su Mengbei praised it.
Hong Wei was surprised: "It's just the others, the King of Fish, Yu Xiaoxian, Master Cheng of Hangzhou Cuisine, and Master Wang of Hexianju, also join in this fun?" ”
Hengshi is not big, and there are not many celebrity chefs.
In addition to Bihai, there are several large hotels, several chain restaurants, and two private restaurants with masters.
Other masters may not be able to say that they are first-class celebrity chefs in China, at most they are famous in the province.
But Yu Xiaoxian, the king of fish, is a ruthless character who has won the first place in the National Celebrity Chef Competition.
Chef Cheng is the leader of the northern Hangzhou cuisine.
Master Wang of Hexianju is old-fashioned, and his family's heirloom industry may not have a good reputation in other places, but in the entire Heng City, when it comes to Hexianju, everyone knows it, and no one knows it, which can be called the first in Hexian.
The three of them are all arrogant people, and if they want to taste their craftsmanship, unless it is a celebrity chef like Hong Wei in person, they will have to queue for ten days and a half months.
Now, Yu Xiaoxian called in person, and his tone was very eager.
Not long after, Master Cheng's phone also came, and his tone was equally eager, saying that he urgently needed a good hairy crab, and he wanted to make a crab roe tofu, and he had already selected the tofu, which was made by the old man of Zhang Ji, and it was just a few good crabs.
Hong Wei: "Crab roe tofu, you should use sea crabs." ”
That being said, there is no reason why he should not agree.
The cooking competition on Bihai's side has not yet started, and the local celebrity chefs are here, no one says about the competition, so clean up the table first and invite Su Mengbei to take a seat.
Yang Yuying and Situ Qing came with him, and several people laughed while drinking tea: "This scene is not small. ”
Situ Qing smiled: "It's not too big." ”
In the palace, Su Mengbei is also a big man who is flattered by all the imperial chefs.
How many imperial chefs have newly researched specialty dishes, if they can lead Su Mengbei to taste it with their color and fragrance, it will be a conversation that can be said outside for half a year.
Compared with the imperial chef in the palace, what is the so-called celebrity chef in a small city?
Su Mengbei sat steadily, in the lobby on the first floor of the huge first hotel, but he was the most leisurely.
For example, Yu Xiaoxian and other top chefs in Heng City arrived one after another, and they all used all their strength to cook food with their hearts. Zai Haosheng was delivered to him, waiting for him to enjoy it with bated breath.
There are also banners hanging in the lobby.
Foodies are still sitting in front of the stage.
But the chefs who arrived one after another had long forgotten about the Golden Knife Award competition, and their minds only revolved around Su Mengbei.
On the side of the Bihai Hotel, everyone was speechless.
I'm afraid the competition won't be able to happen.
Those reporters were very excited, and what happened today was more eye-catching than playing in a proper manner.
Countless celebrity chefs have given up the competition just to compete for favor in front of a guest.
Stories like this will surely become anecdotes in the restaurant industry, and will continue to circulate in the next ten or eight years.
Yang Yuying and Situ Qing felt that all these dishes were good.
Su Mengbei also tasted a few dishes.
"The fish is okay, the technique is too rough when deboning, and the astringency of metal residues is left on the fish, and in order to remove the fish, the marinating time is long, or the fish is not absolutely clean when processing."
Su Mengbei lightly ordered a dish of braised yellow croaker in the next issue, his expression was not cold, and his attitude was ordinary when he spoke.
But several chefs who had already been 'cooked' by him seemed trembling and uneasy.
It's like Su Mengbei is a big demon king who needs to be served carefully.
He is also worthy of the evaluation of the big demon king, the poisonous tongue is terrible, for a while he thinks that the lotus root is too crispy, and for a while he says that the river shrimp fishy line is clean, but it also scatters the skeleton and lacks a little chewiness, and then he says that the noodles are xiaolongbao only the skin of the bun can be eaten, and the meat filling inside is too chopped, and the taste is not proportionate, and the dog will not eat it.
He just said this, Xue Yun, the chef of the white case in Heng City, had red eyes, wiped tears, and was stunned and didn't speak.
Hong Wei couldn't help but speak: "It's really a big show." ”
It's not like they've never seen arrogant gourmets and top diners in this business, but I've never seen someone as unique, pompous, and so big as they are so natural and casual.
"Is this filming? Now someone is filming a gourmet's TV series, just come over and shoot it, and they don't even have to act. ”
When the chef on Bihai's side saw such a fanatical scene, he felt goosebumps on his body for a while.
The reporters hurried to take photos and videos, and they were all wonderful.
In the afternoon, at the scene of the Golden Knife Award Qualifiers of Bihai Hotel, a diner disrupted the normal competition, and the contestants ignored the competition and only concentrated on the topic of 'competing for favor' appeared at the top of the major food gossip news, attracting the attention of countless gourmets.
