Chapter Twenty-Three: Happy Events in the Family

Lingyu on the side of the restaurant didn't know what the emperor was thinking at all, and if he knew, he would have raised his hands and feet in favor. After all, his idea is harmless for the restaurant, although I don't know what his use is, but the current situation can only be accepted first.

After three days, the renovation period of the restaurant was ushered in. Uncle Zhong hung a sign outside the door of the restaurant in advance, explaining the situation of the store's renovation and closure in the past two days. The clerks also arranged to rest, and Uncle Zhong's family still chose to come to the restaurant in case we and Master Hu had an emergency.

In the morning, Master Hu came to the restaurant very early and brought a few workers with him. The facades, windows, handrails, ladders, railings, tables, chairs, and cabinets that I asked him to make are completely new as soon as they are placed in the store.

The original tables, chairs, and cabinets were all moved to the back kitchen after the restaurant closed last night, and they were going to be burned to make charcoal. Facades, windows, handrails, ladders and railings were all dismantled and reinstalled by Master Hu. After reconfirming with them, I went to the back kitchen to train a few chefs on the dishes to participate in the competition.

The two dishes of braised lion's head and crispy roast duck are not difficult to say, it is not easy to say that it is not easy, it is more a test of the chef's patience, the operation is simple and repetitive, you need to always pay attention to the changes in the ingredients, the taste is not enough when the time is short, and the taste is too much after a long time.

Although Chef Feng did not participate in the competition, he also let him learn from it. The three chefs can exchange opinions together after I teach them, and after they finish learning, they can study more deeply on the basis of my teaching to make delicious dishes.

The ingredients used in the braised lion's head were uneven at the beginning, resulting in a large and small meatball; The seasoning is stirred unevenly, some are salty and some are light; There are also scorched cases, etc. Later, after becoming proficient, shrimp, crab meat and mushrooms were added to the original ingredients to enhance the freshness, and the four meatballs can be made into two different ingredients, which stimulates the taste buds even more.

The crispy roast duck is slightly better, and there is nothing wrong with the taste, but it is easier to burn. After getting started, I started to roast it with different wood fires, and the result was unexpected, the roast duck will have a different aroma.

It turned out that I was teaching to brush honey on the surface to color, and the chefs also studied another method of adding paprika and pepper, and I smelled like a modern barbecue. On a whim, they tried to cut some beef and lamb to make meat skewers, and the vegetables were also grilled and eaten, and the eggplant was grilled with garlic, which really reminded me of modern life.

"Three chefs, try to grill it, skewer it with these vegetables and meat, grill it over charcoal with chili powder, pepper and cumin powder, and sprinkle some white sesame seeds after roasting, and this can be your third course of preparation."

"Okay, miss, let's try it, and you can give us a taste and evaluation after you make it."

After finishing speaking, several chefs went to make barbecue, which was also divided into labor, Chef Li made meat skewers, Chef Wu made vegetable skewers, and Chef Feng made seasonings and charcoal. It was eaten in about a quarter of an hour, it was really delicious, and this dish was new in the restaurant after the competition.

I asked Uncle Zhong to take out a few bottles of wine, and then let a few chefs taste it, and barbecued a sip of wine, really happy like a fairy. I also let Uncle Zhong and his family taste it, and everyone unanimously praised it and said that it was delicious, especially with wine, it seems that when this time comes, the wine in the warehouse will have to be prepared more.

Today's dinner for the emperor was a new dish developed by Chef Feng, including salt-baked chicken, drunken pork ribs, fried duck pieces in sauce, fried squid rolls with green onions, and pepper and sea cucumber soup. The other two cooks also helped to make two servings, one for Uncle Zhong to send to Lengfu; Keep one for them to eat with Master Hu.

I brought some barbecue home for my family to taste, and when I got home, it was the same as before, my mother was already waiting in the hall, and it wasn't long before my father and brothers came back. And they're all smiling.,Although I used to laugh.,But today it's the kind of smile that you can't see your teeth.,It looks like there's something happy.。

After they all sat down, I let them taste the barbecue I brought back, and specially opened a bottle of old wine, so that they could also eat it in one bite of barbecue and one sip of wine.

"Yu'er, this is a barbecue, right? It's delicious, it's a perfect match with wine, and my dad doesn't usually drink much, so it seems that I'm going to have a few more drinks today. ”

"That's right! Yu'er, Brother Han rarely drinks alcohol, but it's really delicious with this barbecue! I can't help but want to eat and drink more. ”

"Mother, Yu'er. There is another happy event to tell you today, Brother Han and I have been promoted, although the level is not high, but the two of us have been promoted together, and we have also been promoted by two levels, making an exception, and the holy decree will come to the house. ”

Hearing what Brother Feng said, my mother and I couldn't believe it. Then we heard a voice outside saying "The decree has arrived", and we quickly put away our smiling expressions and went to the gate one after another to receive the decree.

It's a bit incredible, the first time I saw this kind of scene of the decree, it turned out to be really as grand as in the TV series, and the whole family, big and small, had to kneel in front of the holy decree to receive the decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Today, there are Lingfeng of the Ministry of Officials and Linghan of the Ministry of Industry to fulfill their duties, work hard, and make outstanding achievements. ”

"Weichen has the order, thank you Lord Longen."

The brothers said in unison, and then we all kowtowed together. The father-in-law put the holy decree in Brother Feng's hand, and said, "Congratulations to the two spirit servants." ”

Then everyone began to stand up one after another, and the mother motioned to Chunmei to stuff a money bag for the father-in-law who issued the holy decree, and said, "Father-in-law Liu, it's getting late now, and it's dinner time, do you want to stay and have a meal?" ”

"Mrs. Ling has a heart, our family still has to go back to the palace to explain to the emperor about the promulgation of the holy decree, the carriage at the door is already waiting, don't pass by." After saying that, he took the rest of the two fathers-in-law and left.

After Grandpa Liu left, our family returned to the hall. Daddy opened the decree and showed it to all of us, and said:

"What a joy it is for my sons! We should all be happy to-night, ma'am, and may we have a drink for our husband? ”

"Yes, it's rare to have such a happy event, everyone should be happy! I also drank a little, and the rain was still small, so I replaced the wine with tea. Chunmei, go and let the kitchen start serving! ”

"Thank you for the teachings of my father and mother, and the children will definitely work harder to be a good officer who is dedicated to their duties. Here, let's cheers! ”

After a round of drinking, I thought that tomorrow was the last day of the restaurant decoration, and my father and brothers would let them go to the scene together tomorrow. I only know how to decorate the master, but I still need them to confirm the results. When a new chef arrives, they also need to test his skills and taste the new dishes that the chefs are competing in.

"Daddy, mother, and brothers, come to the restaurant tomorrow! Let's take a look at the restaurant's renovation and the new chef. ”

"Okay, let's go over at noon tomorrow, you ask the chefs to cook more dishes, and then our family will have a meal with Chef Hu."

After getting Daddy's reply, we started to eat, and everyone was very happy tonight, and the atmosphere was happy. In the end, the father and the brothers still had to be carried back to the yard by the housekeeper and the little servant, and they were more drunk, but fortunately they would rest tomorrow, and it would not be affected.

When I returned to my own yard, I thought it was incredible to remember what had happened today. One of the chefs' innovations made the barbecue a whole way, and it made me feel like I was back in the modern era; My brothers' promotions made me feel that I was living in ancient times.
