Chapter 15: Convincing orally
When Li Chuanshui entered the back kitchen of "Good Dishes", those cooks had obviously gotten some news.
Just as he followed the manager into the back kitchen little by little, many cooks in white overalls kept rushing towards Li Chuanshui's side, staring at him with eyes as cold as knives.
If it was someone else, shuttling through those cooks who were five big and three coarse, covered in oil and smoke, and occasionally holding snow-white knives, I am afraid that he would have been scared to pee, but Li Chuanshui did not, he still smiled, passing through people, as if ...... Treat them only as air.
After layers of cold eyes, Li Chuanshui walked to the deepest place in the back kitchen of the restaurant.
There, there was a workbench with only a teapot and an old man.
The old man at the workbench sat in a wicker chair, his eyes slightly closed, looking elegant and respectful, and beside him stood a stout man like an apprentice, holding a towel for the old man.
This is a very posing old man, Li Chuanshui has seen his photos, he is the first-class chef of the best restaurant, Zhang Longcha.
When they first met, Zhang Longcha didn't say anything, but the apprentice next to him snorted coldly and asked Li Chuanshui: "Is it that you kid doesn't give money for dinner?" ”
Listening to the questioning of the visitor, Li Chuanshui lowered his head and picked his nails and said, "You can't say no!" I paid a deposit. ”
"Less quibble!" The apprentice-like man yelled, "You just want to eat the overlord meal!" Look for death! Do you know whose property it is! ”
Li Chuanshui's ears hurt when he heard the apprentice's words, so he replied: "Oh, big brother! Repeat the same thing three times, is the person in this hotel a repeater? The next time it's scary, it's a little new. ”
Li Chuanshui's words naturally aroused the man's excitement, but just when the man's muscles were tense and he was about to make some out-of-the-ordinary moves, Zhang Longcha, the old chef beside him, suddenly stopped everything.
Suddenly, Zhang Longcha opened his eyes, and then shouted: "Presumptuous! ”
With this sentence, the little apprentice immediately fell silent.
Then, Zhang Longcha, the "first-class cook" master, carefully examined Li Chuanshui, who was a little cynical in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Children, don't give money for eating, it's not in accordance with the rules." ”
"So?!" Li Chuanshui smiled evilly, and then sneered at each other: "Then do people who make fake dishes and fill up the numbers indiscriminately, are they in order?" ”
Li Chuanshui's words instantly aroused the indignation and disdain of most of the people present, but only the old man Zhang, who seemed to be in control of everything, was suddenly silent.
At the same time, the dragon's eyes towards Li Chuanshui changed, from the initial arrogance and disdain, to curiosity, speculation and even ...... Confused.
In that kind of indignation, the manager who led Li Chuanshui in asked Li Dao repeatedly: "Nonsense! The dishes in our restaurant are first-class and authentic! The grilled sea cucumber you eat is an authentic Lu dish, made with the unique way of the old man who participated in the wild black ......"
Before the manager's words were finished, Li Chuanshui suddenly took over the conversation and said: "The old man is using the best Liaodong black cucumber, first use charcoal fire to bake its rough skin crispy, then scrape it with a knife, put enough water into the pot, simmer until it is slightly opened, then put it into the cold water to remove the viscera, wash it and put it into the pot of boiling water for the second time, and cook it over low heat, then take the sea cucumber and soak it in ice water, and then make dishes, right?!" ”
Li Chuanshui's words made Zhang Longcha, who was originally sitting in a chair resting, stunned.
The old cook's eyes widened, and he looked Li Chuanshui up and down for a long time, and then he trembled and asked slightly, "You...... Who is it? Why do you know the exclusive secret recipe for soaking sea cucumber that my master gave me? ”
"Secret recipe?!" Li Chuanshui said proudly: "The sea cucumber soaked in your method is indeed soft and glutinous, rich in flavor, and exquisite in design, but it is not a secret recipe, you make the real secret recipe of grilled sea cucumber...... It's in the chicken soup of the sea cucumber! ”
"Chicken soup! You even know about chicken soup! Zhang Longcha frowned tightly, and his words were even more out of proportion.
"Of course I do!" Li Chuanshui smiled and spoke, while "recalling", while telling the old cook: "Your chicken soup is an ancient chicken farm, its inventor is the Manchu Dynasty Tongzhi period of Hanlin Tan Zonghou, because Qin Zonghou is erudite and good at eating, and is a Lingnan person, so his secret chicken soup added the cooking method of Cantonese cuisine, and gathered the heads of all families, the user, in addition to the main flavor of black chicken, there are cloud legs, pork, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, big gui, wolfberry, glutinous rice dates and a little bit of codonopsis......"
When Li Chuanshui said the last ingredient Codonopsis, he especially said the word "a little", he wanted Zhang Longcha to know his strength, and at the same time, he also wanted to further clarify ...... Li Chuanshui is not making trouble unreasonably, Zhang Longcha is everything when cooking, he is all insightful!
And the effect of those three words is also the same as Li Chuanshui expected in his heart.
After Li finished talking about Zhang Longcha's secret chicken soup for simmering black ginseng, especially the ingredient Codonopsis with a little bit of it, Zhang Longcha's body suddenly shook in panic, and then the whole person's tense face smiled with relief.
Immediately, Zhang Longcha closed his eyes, and the whole person collapsed in the chair, not relaxing, but giving up......
After Li Chuanshui finished saying those important steps, he once again asked Master Zhang, who was sitting in the rattan chair, "Master, what did I say...... Is there something wrong?! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Longcha nodded and agreed.
Immediately after, a dead silence quickly enveloped the entire kitchen, and every restaurant employee present looked at Li Chuanshui like a monster, and their faces were full of curiosity and ...... Astound.
In the midst of this silence, a cook finally asked loudly, "I, my master's sea cucumber, that is a secret recipe that has been passed down for three generations!" How can a hairy boy like you come easily?! Who the hell are you?! Where is the teacher?! ”
After this question was raised, Li Chuanshui smiled and was about to answer, but at this moment, the old man Zhang Long Cha Zhang hurriedly replied: "Where is he from, I know!" The young man ...... It's a person from the Five Organs Temple, right? ”
Zhang Longcha's answer made everyone look sideways, including Li Chuanshui himself.
Li didn't expect that the Five Organs Temple in Xiao Jiu'er's mouth was so famous, and the old cook, who had already been defeated by Li Chuanshui in his words, actually thought of this "temple" for the first time to explain the strangeness in front of him.
What is the Five Organs Temple, Li Chuanshui has time to turn around, and he must ask that little Jiu'er.
With a hint of astonishment, Li nodded and said to the old cook, "That's right! I'm from the Five Organs Temple. ”
Hearing this, the old man's open eyes closed again, and then he smiled and said, "I finally saw the real heir of the Five Organs Temple, I am convinced!" Be completely convinced! ”
After speaking, the old man closed his eyes again.
The master stopped talking, which made the scene fall silent again, in such a dumb riddle-like environment, the manager in the suit couldn't help it at first, he yelled at Li Chuanshui: "It doesn't matter if you are a five-visceral temple or a four-visceral temple, you ate authentic Luwei grilled sea cucumber, and confronted the old man, this time there is nothing to say!" Hurry up and give the money. ”
Listening to the manager's arrogance, Li Chuanshui said with a smile: "Manager, although the dishes made by your old man are delicious and the recipes are also used, I still won't give money!" Because your old man himself has admitted it...... He lost! ”
"Our old man lost?!" The manager pretended to be deaf and said, "Nonsense, where did our old man lose?!" ”
"He's indiscriminate!" Li Chuanshui said in an astonishing voice: "Your old man doesn't know how to make authentic grilled sea cucumbers at all, and even he never knows how to cook Lu cuisine!" Don't believe it, you ask him yourself! ”
"Nonsense! Our old man has been cooking Lu cuisine for thirty years, how could he ......?"
Before the manager could finish his rebuttal, the old man spoke again.
Zhang Longcha said in a somewhat trembling voice, and said to the manager and everyone present: "Manager! This lad is right! I, Zhang Longcha, have deceived the world and stolen my name for 30 years, in fact...... I don't know how to cook Lu cuisine at all, let alone the most classic grilled sea cucumber in Lu cuisine. I...... The heart of the loss is convinced, this young man's meal money, I ...... It shouldn't be! ”
