Chapter 519: Phoenix on Fire
Look, look, I guessed right, right? Tell you to set the price so high, do you find fault with people? As soon as Mu Tang heard their noise, he guessed the general situation and sighed secretly: "It's really not worrying at all." He walked over and asked, "Handsome Brother Zhao, I really suspect that you are sent by the 'enemy' to cause sabotage." I've only been away for a long time, and you're making a fuss. ”
Zhao Tianjiao rolled his eyes and said, "Mu Tang, Mu Tang, I finally found out that you are a little better than me." ”
Mu Tang said: "Oh? Is it? Then tell me where I'm better than you. ”
"In terms of the thickness of the skin, I sigh to myself," Zhao Tianjiao said in a weird manner, raised his hand and clicked the watch on his wrist, "Look what time it is?" You've been on the phone for two hours, and you're embarrassed to say, 'How long have I been gone?' Don't come back at all. ”
Mu Tang said: "Handsome brother Zhao, please grasp the key points and main contradictions, OK?" The key is not how long I've been gone, but that I'm not here, and something happened to you here, Du You'an is like an egg? ”
Zhao Tianjiao said: "Yo! According to you, if you were here, nothing would have happened? Mu Tang said as a matter of course: "Of course." Zhao Tianjiao stretched out his hand, "Okay, okay." You come, you come! Please start your performance. ”
Mu Tang said: "I'll come, I'll come." After speaking, he muttered, "You made a fuss, but you want me to wipe your ass, who is thick-skinned." Zhao Tianjiao heard it clearly in his ears, and his nose was about to be crooked.
"Hello everyone," Mu Tang said to the group of people in front of the stall with a smile, the smile on his face was like a spring breeze, "The contemptible person is the person in charge and the chef here, surnamed Mu." The guy next to him is a handyman. If there is any offense, I apologize to you on his behalf......" At this point, he did not give anyone a chance to speak, and immediately said, "Of course, it is not enough to apologize. Since something went wrong, the main thing is, of course, to solve it. Please, is there any problem? ”
The decent and sincere attitude makes people unable to find out the thorns, and Mu Tang also said that Zhao Tianjiao is a "miscellaneous person", and there is a problem with the miscellaneous person, no matter how big the problem is, it has little to do with him, the "person in charge and chef", and it can't affect the root of the entire stall. But anyone who has a little brain and reason, and hears the meaning of Mu Tang's words, will not make things bigger.
However, the domineering young man in front of him didn't accept Mu Tang's set, so he waved his hand and said loudly: "I don't care which of you is in charge and who is miscellaneous." You use this kind of junk food to entertain guests, and even more brazenly mark the sky-high price, I reasoned with him, but he was disrespectful. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will not only go to the 'Chef Organizing Committee' to sue you, but I will also go to the 'Chef Association' and the 'Food Association' to protest! Hmph, if it weren't for the people from the 'Circuit Referee Team' who just happened to pass by, he would have wanted to hit someone just now! ”
The so-called "people of the circuit referee team" are five in total, four men and one woman, two yellow-skinned, two white-skinned, and one dark-skinned, all of whom are well-dressed and extraordinary, and the pride and calm temperament that can only be possessed by people who have outstanding achievements and attainments in a certain field - obviously, they are all authoritative figures in the kitchen and food industry!
The "Circuit Judges" are tasked with evaluating controversial pricing, and all members are authoritative "foodies" from around the world. These people are great chefs in their own right, but they prefer to taste food rather than cooking with their own hands, and their tongues know whether a dish is delicious or not, whether it is worth or not, and how much it is worth.
Mu Tang turned his head to the five people: "It turned out to be all the members of the 'referee team', disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
A white-skinned golden-haired old man in a small black suit said, "Don't say useless words. Our time is precious. This gentleman complained to us just now, saying that you are 'price gouging' and questioning your turnover fraud. We now need to conduct a preliminary review of your stand......"
"Wait a minute!" Mu Tang waved his hand, interrupted his words, ignored the changes in the faces of the "referees", and said righteously: "Ladies and gentlemen, is it too hasty to review my booth based on his unilateral wording?" If you do this, I will doubt your fairness and objectivity. Trust me in my sincerity in solving the problem, I don't want to make it worse. ”
"......," the golden-curly-haired old man was silent for a second, and said, "Okay, what do you have to say about this gentleman's accusations?" ”
Mu Tang said, "Okay, let's take a look," he turned his head to look at the domineering young man, and asked, "This gentleman, according to what you just said, you first think that the chicken we make here is garbage, not tasty, and not worth 199998 taels, so you think we are 'price gouging'." I understand that, right? ”
The young man's mouth smacked twice, and said, "That's right, that's it......" The other party's appearance of "I want to reason with you seriously" made him unable to find the place to cause trouble, but this is not difficult for him, since he is here to find fault, he can also pull out trouble for you if he has nothing to do, "I declare, this is not that I wronged you." You see, these five referees are all very famous food critics from all over the world. You let them taste the chickens you bought here, and let them judge whether your chickens are worth that much money! ”
The faces of the five referees changed.
In fact, there was a reason why the old man with golden curly hair had a bad attitude towards Mu Tang just now. They are well-known "gourmets", their own culinary attainments are very profound, a dish is delicious or not, you can have a general judgment at the first glance, plus a keen sense of smell to sniff, smell the taste, basically there is a conclusion that is not far from ten.
Zhao Tianjiao's "crispy salt-baked chicken" is actually not bad, for a person who has learned to cook for less than ten days, it is quite rare, however, for the five well-informed and delicious senior "gourmets", the "salt-baked chicken" he made is really not enough. It's too much to say it's rubbish. However, it is indeed not worth 199998 taels, and it is reasonable to sell it for 7 or 80,000 taels.
That's a price difference of 100,000 yuan!
In view of this, they were on the side of the young man, feeling that the "grandmother's restaurant" had inflated the price and there were violations.
Couldn't Mu Tang think of these? Of course he thought of it. However, this did not bother him. I saw him smile slightly: "Since you said so, then please wait for a while with the five referees......"
The young man said, "Wait? What are you waiting for? What tricks do you want to play? ”
Mu Tang smiled: "This gentleman said that he was laughing. You're all here watching, what else can I do. I mean, this 'crispy salt-baked chicken' is not ready yet, and it will have to wait a while before you can enjoy it. ”
"Didn't do a good job? Aren't you already ready for this? ”
"Sir, are our chickens doing a good job, am I better aware, or are you more aware? Speaking of which, you actually eat 'salt-baked chicken' that is not fully cooked, are you too? No, no, it should be that this miscellaneous man in my family forgot what I said, and accidentally took out the unfinished dishes to entertain the guests. I'm really sorry. ”
The golden-haired old man said, "We're in a hurry. How long will it take for your food to become a dish? ”
Mu Tang smiled: "It's very fast, it's delicious, it only takes five minutes." ”
As he spoke, a medium-sized pottery jar a few steps away - Dongfang Weixi prepared almost all the containers and kitchenware for Mu Tang, and put the back half of the tent space tightly together, and suddenly flew in front of Mu Tang, and then all kinds of seasonings were also grabbed by invisible forces, and then gathered together and poured into the pottery jar together.
Then, Mu Tang flipped it over, and a stall of wine appeared in the air out of thin air, and as soon as the seal of the wine jar was opened, the aroma of the wine was permeated, and a piece of clear and viscous wine with a slightly reddish color fell from the mouth of the altar and poured into the pottery jar. Then, Mu Tang grabbed the pottery jar with one hand and shook it vigorously, and there was a slight sound of liquid flowing in the pottery jar.
Mu Tang grabbed the clay jar and shook it for almost five minutes before putting it down. In the next second, nine "salt-baked chickens", one more of which had been eaten by the young man, flew out of the clay pot and into the clay jar filled with wine and ingredients.
"Handsome guy Zhao, do you have such a thick iron rod or other sticks on you?" Zhao Tianjiao of the Mu Dynasty compared a thickness, probably as thick as a thumb.
Zhao Tianjiao said: "What do you want a stick for?" ”
"Give it to me if you have it, what so much nonsense."
“…… Relative! Zhao Tianjiao sighed unhappily, and casually turned out nine feather arrows, the thickness of the arrow rod was just about the same as a thumb, "Only this." ”
Mu Tang laughed and said, "This is just right, Ying Jing'er." ”
Saying that, the nine feather arrows flew up, and at the same time, the nine "salt-baked chickens" also flew out, and the "puff puff" sounded continuously, and the nine feather arrows were inserted from the chicken butt of the "salt-baked chicken", and then penetrated out from under the chicken's neck - this scene made Zhao Tianjiao's chrysanthemum tight.
With the sound of "bear", Mu Tang's palm suddenly burst out with a "soul qi flame", which was red and hot. With a wave of his big hand, he threw out a flame and landed on the lined up "arrow-inserted salt-baked chicken". In an instant, the nine "arrow-inserted salt-baked chickens" were wrapped in flames, and the pale golden skin was burned by the flames, and gradually appeared burnt. At the same time, a strange and intoxicating fragrance also filled the air.
At this time, the faces of the five "referees" were different, and one of them had admiration in his eyes.
Mu Tang smiled: "The cooking is done!" This 'Phoenix' is also for you to enjoy. ”
Nine chickens pierced through their bodies by feather arrows were wrapped and burned with red flames, and the name "Phoenix in Fire" is really appropriate.
"This ...... There's a fire on this chicken, you let ...... How do we eat? The young man was still indignant, but if he had a keen sense, he would have gone in the direction, and he was actually a little lacking in confidence.
Mu Tang said: "As the saying goes: food is prepared for those who can afford to eat!" If you can't eat it, that's your problem. But I have to say that if the flame is extinguished, this 'Phoenix' will be very unpalatable. There's never been a better time to enjoy it. ”
The old man with golden curly hair stretched out his hand, grabbed a feather arrow, handed a burning flame "salt-baked chicken" to the front, opened his mouth and bit down, and ate the meat with fire into his mouth, the next second, I saw his pupils glaring at the boss, and then he ate it in a big gulp, the speed of chewing in that mouth was so fast that it looked very blurry, almost in the blink of an eye, and a whole "fire phoenix" was eaten by him and only the skeleton remained.
The other four referees looked at each other, and each took a "Fire Phoenix" to taste, but it turned out to be the same as the golden-curly old man, and after a bite, he couldn't stop, and gnawed the "Fire Phoenix" with lightning speed, leaving only a handful of bones.
The golden-haired old man suddenly said, "How did you come up with it?" The chicken is further roasted by the flame of alcohol, and at the same time, the aroma of the seasoning is integrated into the chicken skin through the temperature of the flame, but the seasoning is avoided from burning, which affects the taste. ”
Mu Tang smiled: "I'm sorry, Mr. referee, the confidential formula will not be passed on." ”
“…… I'm sorry, but I took the liberty of it," said the golden-curly-haired old man, his attitude much better than before, "Now I declare that the suspicion of 'price gouging' is not established, and this 'Phoenix' is completely worth 199998 taels!" Colleagues, you don't have any opinions, do you? ”
The other four shook their heads.
Hearing this, the young man was in disbelief, "This ...... It's impossible...... How could it be ......"
