Chapter 170: I Can't Even Eat, What's the Use of Being Rich?
Since the renovation of the No. 7 dining room has been completed, except for the two innermost lounges, the rest of the room has not been touched.
The same goes for the various facilities in the kitchenette.
After Jiang Yu went upstairs, he first cleaned up the kitchen inside and out with Yan Tongtong, and then lit the fire and boiled the pot.
Yesterday morning, Liu Shurong had already informed Jiang Yu in advance and set the time for dinner today.
In fact, the No. 7 dining room was not ready to open before, and Jiang Yu had not even drawn up a menu.
In order to avoid the embarrassing scene that the guests didn't know what to eat after they were served, Jiang Yu told Liu Shurong at that time to let her order the dishes first, and she could purchase the corresponding ingredients in advance.
"Can you order anything?"
"You can order whatever you want, if I can't do it, I'll say it in advance."
"I'll just order a few dishes that Lele eats, and you can do the rest."
Liu Shurong thought about it, and only ordered two dishes of Longjing shrimp and sweet and sour pork ribs for herself and her son, and left the rest to Jiang Yu.
She looked at Jiang Yu quietly, smiled and said,
"These people I invited are all locals in Jiangzhou, they should all like spicy food, and you should know more about this than me."
Liu Shurong just told Jiang Yu that there were 10 people who ate, and there were six cold dishes, twelve hot dishes, and one soup was enough.
As for the staple food, there are so many dishes, and then drink some drinks or something, who else can eat the staple food?
This time, the problem returned to Jiang Yu's side.
This kind of banquet dish, he is the first time to make it, Liu Shurong invited guests to thank others for their help, if he didn't choose a good dish, the guests were not happy, wouldn't he be a help?
Seeing Jiang Yu's embarrassed face, Liu Shurong comforted him instead:
"You don't have to be embarrassed, you can do whatever you want, your food is delicious that can't even be stopped by anorexia, and you don't have to worry about whether the guests will not like it?
You can relax, even if you just make a simple bowl of clear water, everyone can eat without even soup! ”
After a pause, she added, "By the way, don't worry about whether the ingredients are expensive or not, just let it go and do it, anyway, I will pay for it in the end, and I can't let you suffer." ”

These words made Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, I still have no experience, and I still need customers to comfort myself......
How can a man with a food system be so unbanked?
Isn't this a fall for the prestige of the system?!
Jiang Yu immediately secretly decided that he must devote twelve points of concentration to complete this banquet, and not let these guests call "666", then I will lose!
Therefore, after Liu Shurong left, Jiang Yu pondered for a morning and finally made a menu that he was relatively satisfied with.
As for whether the guests are satisfied by then, it will only be known after they have tasted it.
After cleaning the small kitchen, Yan Tongtong was busy cleaning up the "winter" box, which is relatively large, and the guests will be more spacious and comfortable to sit in.
Yan Tongtong was busy with things, Jiang Yu was not idle, after he boiled the new wok, he was ready to start making cold dishes.
Six cold dishes, both meat and vegetarian, are clearly garlic white meat, saliva chicken, smoked phoenix feet stuffed with fresh you, mille-feuille egg tofu, gluttonous hoof flower and cold okra.
Garlic white meat and saliva chicken are common dishes, Jiang Yu has long been familiar with the road, after processing the pork belly and fresh whole chicken, put them into the pot and stew.
The pig's trotters are washed and chopped into small pieces, put in a pressure cooker to add broth, and then add seasonings such as green onions, ginger slices, salt and chicken essence, and simmer at high pressure.
After that, he started to make other cold dishes.
Garlic and white meat, saliva chicken, gluttonous hoof flower and cold okra are all relatively traditional dishes, but the two cold dishes of smoked phoenix feet stuffed with fresh you and mille-feuille egg tofu are creative dishes that are a little more complicated to make.
For example, this smoked phoenix claw stuffed with fresh fish is first rinsed and cleaned, and then soaked in ice water with lemon slices for 1 hour to remove the smell.
Then the chicken feet are cooked, the bones are cut into dices, the fragrant solitude and ham are also diced, the fresh edamame kernels are blanched and then peeled, and then these four ingredients are put into a basin, and seasonings such as minced green onion and ginger, salt, chicken powder, chicken bone extract, sesame oil and thirteen spices are stirred evenly to make a filling.
After the fish is soaked, the prepared filling is packed into it, sealed with a toothpick, and steamed in a steamer for 45 minutes.
Then, add tea leaves, bay leaves, cumin, sugar and rice grains to the pot, put the steamed fish on the smoker rack, and slowly smoke for 10 minutes on low heat to make it colored.
After the smoking is completed, wrap the fish in plastic wrap, press it for 2 hours to tighten, and then put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Once you've done that, it's time to slice it and serve it on a plate.
It's not complicated to say, but it's very time-consuming to do, starting from soaking the fish to finally refrigerating it, and four or five hours have passed.
If Jiang Yu didn't do it a little earlier, he was afraid that the guests would not have to eat until their stomachs "growled".
As for the mille-feuille preserved egg tofu, compared with the traditional preserved egg tofu, the method is also much more complicated, but in terms of taste and shape, it is on a higher level.
The mille-feuille egg tofu is shaped like a cake, with a layer of lactone tofu and a layer of preserved egg jelly, staggered layers and novel shapes.
In addition, in the production of preserved egg jelly, the old chicken broth is also added, which makes this cold dish, the tofu is tender, the preserved egg is fragrant, and the taste is endless.
In addition to these six cold dishes, there are also 12 hot dishes, namely chopped pepper fish head, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, Longjing shrimp, roasted pork belly with duck, steamed pork, spicy small soft-shelled turtle, boiled beef, hot kidney flower, green onion fragrant golden needle lonely, baby cabbage in soup and yam with osmanthus nectar sauce.
As for the soup, Jiang Yu plans to make a soup with mushroom slices.
When he was preparing cold dishes upstairs, in the side dish room of the kitchen on the first floor, Ma Guoqiang, Qian Liwei and others were already busy chopping vegetables and side dishes.
Fortunately, the dishes on the second floor are all small pots, and the portions are not much, otherwise, both kitchens need to help with side dishes, and Ma Guoqiang and others should be tired and crying.
Jiang Yu was the only one in the kitchen, and the surroundings seemed extremely quiet, except for the "humming" sound of the range hood and the clanging sound of the spoon and the wok colliding.
When Jiang Yu was alone in the kitchen, busy for this table of banquets, on the other side, Liu Shurong took Lele and came to Jiangzhou University with a few guests to be invited.
The sun has not yet set, and the students are sweating on the playground or strolling with their classmates on the campus streets, and the golden sunset is shining on them, making all this scene seem calm and peaceful.
Liu Shurong and the guests chatted while slowly strolling towards the Seven Canteen, obviously enjoying this rare leisurely moment.
Among the guests, one of the middle-aged men, who was slightly chubby and had a lot of leadership style, chatted with Liu Shurong for a few words, and suddenly asked as if he had just reacted:
"Aren't we going to dinner? Why did you walk and run to the campus of Jiang University? ”
Several other people were also a little puzzled, but because of Liu Shurong's identity, they had been embarrassed to say it, and when they heard Director Liu ask, they all pricked up their ears and looked over.
"It seems that you don't know about Bureau Liu, but there is a top chef hidden in this Jiang University!"
Liu Shurong praised Jiang Yu unabashedly, with a surging smile on her face, she continued,
"He opened a No. 7 dining room here, and I'm bringing you here today just to let everyone taste his cooking."
"Oh, top chef?"
Director Liu raised his eyebrows and grinned, "Then I'm going to taste it!" ”
Having said that, Director Liu was somewhat disdainful in his heart.
The lady next to her, although she is a wealthy family in Qiantang, her taste is probably like this.
How high-end can a restaurant in a university be?
Also top chefs......
You don't even know what a top chef is, do you?
Several people around Director Liu also looked at each other, speechless.
They all sighed in their hearts, this Ms. Liu is a rich man for nothing, and her family's assets are tens of billions, so she can't tell what food is......
I can't even eat, what's the use of having so much money?
These guests, including Director Liu, although they were disdainful in their hearts, they did not show the slightest expression on their faces, they had all been in the human spirit for many years, and if the city government didn't have it at all, they would have been eaten to the point that there were no bones left.
A group of people smiled and smiled, with just the right amount of expectation on their faces, and walked forward with Liu Shurong.
Liu Shurong didn't know what they were thinking?
Of course you do!
Liu Shurong is in contact with people on weekdays, but they are no worse than the Taoism of this group of people, and she doesn't have to guess what these people are thinking.
It's nothing more than all kinds of disdain, all kinds of dissatisfaction.
But what are these people thinking, Liu Shurong doesn't care at all, because she believes in Jiang Yu's cooking skills, and even her son's anorexia can't stop the deliciousness, and the group of people around her can still stop it?
As long as they taste it, all kinds of dissatisfaction in their hearts will disappear.
At the door of the Jiang University Library, Liu Shurong and the others received a few more people to be invited tonight.
If Jiang Yu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize them at a glance, because these people are all leaders of Jiang University, one is the vice president of Jiang University, the other is Fan Chuliang, the minister of propaganda, and the other is Niu Wenlin, the minister of logistics.
The vice principal hadn't tasted the food in the Seventh Canteen, and he behaved quite well, but Fan Chuliang and Niu Wenlin were a little different, and the two of them didn't know what they thought of, and they kept swallowing saliva all the way.
This made the vice-principal a little speechless, and he glanced back at them from time to time:
Are you two concerned?
Isn't it just a meal?!
