Chapter 346: A Private Matter
Wu Jiantong's face was full of doubts.
"It's not meat." Zheng Mingyuan smiled, "This is vegetarian meat made from beans, the taste is very similar to meat, but the fragrance is very different, and it can be blended with all the seasonings, so it can be said that it tastes better than real meat." ”
"As for this rice, I specially selected this year's long-grain rice, using the black chicken soup stewed in mountain spring water, and the rice steamed with this black chicken soup, whether it is rice or soup, the amount must be strictly controlled, and the heat must be paid attention to at all times.
"I see." Wu Jiantong nodded again and again, looking at Zheng Mingyuan with admiration, "No wonder Chef Zheng has been busy for so long, it turns out that there are so many doorways here." ”
"Is Chef Zheng going to participate in a cooking competition with such a dish?"
This year's cooking competition is divided into preliminary and final rounds, and each time there are three rounds of trying, and each round needs to be completed on the spot.
When it comes to the finals, it is naturally a competition and competition between masters, and it is necessary to devote all your life to learning and come out with the ability to press the bottom of the box.
At first, it was a perfect choice to use this dish to participate in the competition.
Chef Zheng is really Chef Zheng, and everything is very thoughtful.
But Zheng Mingyuan shook his head, "No." ”
No?
Wu Jiantong was stunned, "Then Chef Zheng has been busy in the back kitchen for most of the day, isn't it to develop the dishes used in the competition?" ”
"No, it's not." Zheng Mingyuan scratched his ears disapprenosingly, "I just happened to see the guy washing beans there, and when I went out for a stroll yesterday, I saw the black chicken again, so I thought about making two delicious meals to eat." ”
Wu Jiantong, "......"
So it's because of gluttony?
No, it must not be.
Many very capable people are very humble when they speak to the outside world, but their actual strength is amazing, just like in the past, when Zheng Mingyuan's various rare dishes were served to the table in the Huibin Building, the guests were amazed, but Zheng Mingyuan just said the last sentence, but it was just an ordinary dish.
It can be seen that in Zheng Mingyuan's eyes, any delicacy is not surprising.
What's more, most of the people who are usually capable are hidden in the market, and the seemingly ordinary actions are actually full of deep meaning, which is extremely difficult for ordinary people to guess and predict.
Come to think of it, Zheng Mingyuan is the same.
It is said that it is greedy, but in fact, it is just a verification of a certain practice, so as to exert force in the competition.
Well, it must be!
Wu Jiantong nodded vigorously.
Su Yujin, on the other hand, continued to eat the delicious vegetarian meat and vinegared cabbage, and praised the wonderful taste of these two dishes and rice over and over again.
It's delicious!
When he goes back and is free, he will also give He Yanxiu a taste, he will probably like it very much?
Speaking of which, during this period of time, she was either busy observing the condition of His Royal Highness, or accompanying Mrs. He to talk and walk around the garden, plus He Yanxiu was busy with household affairs before the year, and the number of times she and He Yanxiu met was only a handful, let alone cooking a meal for him......
As a half-chef who loves food, how can he not feed his own diners for so long?
Su Yujin was eager to try, so much so that after eating the rice in the bowl, he couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave.
After Wu Jiantong and Zheng Mingyuan sent Su Yujin away, they continued to be busy with the matter of gathering Wei Zhai.
"Shopkeeper."
A young man ran over, "There was an aunt who wandered back in Juwei Zhai for a long time, and finally stuffed a few pennies to the small one, saying that she was here to repay the money, but the little one didn't remember who our shop lent money to, and the aunt left in a hurry after stuffing the money to the little one, no matter how she shouted, she didn't stop." ”
"The little one didn't know what to do with the money, so he had to take the money back to the shopkeeper to see what to do."
"Give it to me for now." Wu Jiantong took the money.
I just heard Su Yujin mention something about a woman who came to find a job outside, and Wu Jiantong was already an account, and he would never hire that person to work in Juwei Zhai.
It was probably the woman who realized that she had offended people by her previous greedy behavior, so she thought about returning the money to show her attitude?
Wu Jiantong smiled, didn't take this matter to heart, and only said to the guy, "The big guys have worked hard today, and they will rest early later, Chef Zheng asked the back kitchen to make a lot of sauced meat rolls and rice cakes, and also boiled a big pot of messy stews, and the big guys will eat them later." ”
"Yes." The guy responded with a smile.
If you work in the next place, you are also in charge of the food, but even if you work in the restaurant next to it, you can't eat delicious food like Juwei Zhai, and you can't get the respect you get here.
The guy really likes to work in Juwei Zhai, and he thinks that this is about the best job he can find in his life, and I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult to encounter in the future.
So I hope that Juwei Zhai's business will be prosperous in the future, so that they can continue to stay here......
After Su Yujin returned to the He family, after checking the situation of the Third Highness, he returned to Meixiangyuan and went into the small kitchen, preparing to cook a few exquisite side dishes for dinner.
In order to prevent He Yanxiu from going out at night, Su Yujin specially ordered someone to send a letter to He Yanxiu, asking him to go back to He's house for dinner if he had nothing particularly important at night.
When He Yanxiu heard the news in the household department, his two eyebrows were almost inverted, and he even began to deal with affairs frantically, preparing to go back earlier later.
As the day sank, He Yanxiu's affairs were almost busy, and when he was about to finish the last ones, someone from below came to report that someone was looking for him.
"Who is it?" He Yanxiu didn't raise his head.
"Master Su Wenxuan Su of the Hanlin Academy." The people below told the truth.
Su Wenxuan?
He Yanxiu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Please come to the tearoom next to you and wait for a while, and I'll come over." ”
Su Wenxuan came at this time, what is the important matter?
After He Yanxiu sorted out the things in his hand a little, he raised his feet and went to the tea room next to him.
Su Wenxuan had already sat down at this time, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and when he saw He Yanxiu coming over, he stood up and arched his hand, "Xiaguan has seen Lord He." ”
"Lord Su." He Yanxiu personally closed the door of the tea room, and then sat opposite Su Wenxuan, and lowered his voice, "Lord Su is here at this time, but what's the matter?" ”
"It's really important." Su Wenxuan's voice was also low, "But if you talk about it carefully, this is not a public matter, but a private matter." ”
Personal?
He Yanxiu was suddenly surprised.
