Dining room seven, in the kitchen.

Du Guangning, Pei Guofu and others came back with Kuaizi, and were about to taste what this famous court dish tasted like, but Kuaizi had just stretched out and had not yet caught the meat, when he suddenly heard an angry roar behind him:

"Stop! Don't move! ”

Du Guangning and the others were startled by this sudden roar, turned their heads to look, and saw Hua Xiaoling holding a selfie stick and rushing over.

As soon as she entered the door, Hua Xiaoling saw the palace Wanfu meat placed on the eucalyptus platform at a glance, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and then her face turned pale, and she pointed at Du Guangning and the others and said with a sad look,

"I told you before, the boss has made a new dish, you have to let me shoot a video first, otherwise, how will those netizens know our boss's ability? How can business in the store be booming?

But why don't you understand, the boss just made the dish, and you want to eat it immediately, how can this be?! ”

After speaking, she immediately had a smile on her face, turned her head to look at Jiang Yu, and asked with a flattering look, "Boss, I'm not wrong, right?" ”

"This is a northern dish, and there aren't many people ordering it here, so there's no need to take a video and upload it."

Jiang Yu waved his hand, glanced at Hua Xiaoling and the others again, and said with a smile, "Okay, if you want to taste the taste, hurry up and taste it, it's good to do things after you finish it." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the plate of palace blessing meat that had been laid out again, and handed it to the waiter to serve.

This dish took too long, and before he could start plating, the guests in the "Mei" box had already arrived.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu was not idle in the interval between making this dish, and most of the fast dishes such as shredded pork in Beijing sauce and stir-fried vegetables were made in the spare time.

Jiang Yu just walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, and Lu Shuwu, Pei Guofu and others behind him hurriedly stretched out the fast son, each picked up a large piece of Wanfu meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Is she here to shoot the video?

Of course not!

She just smelled the fragrance of Wanfu meat and ran over to grab it!

……

In the box with the name "Mei".

On a small round dining table, there are various dishes such as shredded pork with Beijing sauce, fried fish fillet, vegetable wrapped chicken, white fungus vegetarian stew, stir-fried vegetables, etc., this famous dish in Beijing, delicately arranged, like a piece of exquisite artwork, makes people a little reluctant to destroy this beauty.

Several old men who are over half a hundred years old and have some gray sideburns are sitting around the dining table, savoring these delicacies and chatting leisurely.

Different from the lively and noisy scenes of other boxes, the guests in the "Mei" box all seemed extremely calm, and they were all unhurriedly tasting the delicacies on the table, which was in stark contrast to the food grabbing drama often staged in other boxes.

In fact, these old men are all members of the Celebrity Chef Committee of the Chinese Cuisine Association, and they are all Chinese cooking masters and celebrity chefs, which are naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

"Well, this shredded pork in Beijing sauce is very authentic, the sauce is rich, the shredded meat is tender, sweet and delicious, and with this shredded green onion, cucumber shredded and tofu skin, it is indeed a rare delicacy!"

An old man with glasses and quite elegant ate all the shredded pork in Beijing sauce rolled in tofu skin, took out a tissue and wiped the remaining sauce at the corner of his mouth, and then said with a smile,

"Although many restaurants and restaurants in the capital have this shredded pork with Beijing sauce, I have eaten the most authentic one, and I can't imagine that it is still in such a school cafeteria as Jiang University, which is really unbelievable!"

"The shredded pork in Beijing sauce should be done, in fact, it is not too difficult, but this dish of fried fish fillets, the entrance is crispy and soft, tender and smooth, sweet and sour, salty and fresh, and the most important thing is that this fish fillet is not fried, and it is very complete piece by piece, which is rare."

Another old man in a Mao suit was also full of amazement, he took a sip of tea and cleared his mouth, still a little amazed,

"It's really hard to imagine that he, a little chef who has always lived in the south, can make such an authentic capital, it's really incredible!"

"It's nothing to be able to cook authentic Beijing cuisine."

The old man with glasses raised his hand and took a sip of the tea on the table, chuckled and shook his head,

"The problem is that he can cook more than just Beijing cuisine, just by looking at the 'recommended dishes' provided in this restaurant, you can also cook Sichuan, Hunan, Cantonese, Benbang and Jiangzhou cuisine.

I'm a little skeptical now, are there any dishes he doesn't know how to cook in those large and small cuisines in China? ”

As we all know, Chinese food culture has a long history, due to the different regions, products and eating habits, thus forming eight major cuisines, countless local small cuisines, in terms of many dishes, a wide range of flavors, exquisite and complex practices, are second to none in the world.

Even if a chef chooses to delve into the dishes of one cuisine, it is difficult to reach the top even if he spends his entire life, let alone thoroughly study the entire cuisine.

Therefore, in real life, the vast majority of chefs with heritage are often only good at a certain cuisine, and as for the dishes of other cuisines, they may be able to do it, but it is definitely not authentic.

But now they have encountered such a "wonderful", at a young age, they have mastered the essence of so many cuisines, and every dish in his hands is decently cooked, and the taste is still very authentic.

How could this not surprise them?

"Let's come from the capital this time, don't we just want to taste the dishes made by this Xiao Jiang master?"

The old man sitting at the top looked kind, with a surging smile on his face, he glanced at the other people, and said slowly,

"Judging from these dishes alone, Chef Xiao Jiang is still very powerful, and the dishes made by many people who claim to be famous chefs are much more delicious."

"These dishes are really good, but what I'm looking forward to the most is that Wanfu meat!"

Sitting next to the kind old man was a fat old man with a round appearance, and he said with a smile,

"This is a palace dish, if he can even make this dish well, it will be really amazing!"

While a few people were talking, there was a soft knock on the box door, and then a waiter walked in with a plate of food.

After she put the dish in her hand on the table, she said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this dish is the palace Wanfu meat, your dishes have been served, please enjoy it slowly!"

After saying this, she took two steps back, turned around and left the box, and did not forget to close the door after going out.

At this moment, the attention of several old people was all focused on this dish of palace Wanfu meat, only to see that the white disc was covered with green and tender lettuce, and on top of the lettuce were pieces of Wanfu meat like blooming flowers, surrounded by lotus seeds, red dates and chestnuts.

This dish should have just come out of the pot, and it was steaming slightly at the moment, with a rich aroma of meat mixed with jujube and chestnut aromas, and as the heat spread in the box, people couldn't help but move their index fingers.

"This Wanfu meat is red in color, with emerald green lettuce and pure white porcelain plate, but the color is clear and very eye-catching!"

"Yes, and the smell is very pleasant, it doesn't feel greasy at all, but it's quite tempting."

"This Xiao Jiang master does have a unique place in plating, and his knife work is even more powerful, you look at this meat, each piece is cut thick and even, continuously."

“……”

When several other old men were "commenting" on this plate of palace blessing meat that had just been served, the fat old man who looked round couldn't hold his breath, he picked up the fast and gently tapped the bowl in front of him, and said with a smile,

"You guys are all right, but I think that no matter how good the 'color' and 'fragrance' of a dish are, the most important thing is to focus on the 'taste', if the taste is not good, no matter how beautiful and fragrant the dish is, it will also be a failed dish.

This blessed meat is still hot, why don't you taste it at this time? It's not good when it's cold!

If you don't eat it, then you're welcome! ”

The other old men were stunned for a moment, and they all laughed and scolded: "It's not a secret that your old Zhu is greedy, you can eat if you want, who will stop you?" Do you need to find such a whole bunch of reasons? ”

"Then I'll really eat it, don't regret it then!"

Seeing this, the fat old man grinned at everyone, stretched out a piece of Wanfu meat, put it to his mouth and took a bite, and tasted it carefully, but after a while, he admired it with a look of surprise,

"This Wanfu meat, fat but not greasy, soft and glutinous and mellow, melts in the mouth, fresh and fragrant, eat a bite, in addition to the fragrance in the mouth is still fragrant! With such delicious Wanfu meat, it's no wonder that even the Empress Dowager Cixi in the palace liked it very much! ”

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head again and ate the remaining half of Wanfu meat in the bowl in three bites!

Seeing this, the other old men couldn't help but be a little stunned, and they picked up Kuaizi one after another, each took a piece of Wanfu meat, put it in their own bowls, and began to taste it.

"Well, although this Wanfu meat is pork belly, after it has been roasted and fried, the fat has not only been refined a lot, but also has a strong aroma of fried fat, no wonder Lao Zhu will say that it is fragrant in addition to fragrant!"

"It's really good, this Wanfu meat itself is rich in meat, and then steamed with lotus seeds, red dates and chestnuts, in addition to the meat aroma, it adds other aromas, it is indeed the more you chew, the more fragrant, and there is a sweet aftertaste, which makes people's mouths full of sweetness!"

"The fat is refined, so that the meat of this thousand blessings is fat but not greasy; After simmering, it is steamed again, so that the Wanfu meat is soft and glutinous, mellow, and melts in the mouth; With red dates, chestnuts and lotus seeds, it not only makes Wanfu meat more delicious and delicious, but also auspicious!

Yes, yes, this Xiao Jiang chef has indeed captured the essence of this palace dish, and the taste is a must! ”

“……”

After tasting the dish of Wanfu meat, several old people couldn't help but praise it, and they gave a thumbs up, and their faces were full of shock.

They really didn't expect that this time they were just going out and walking around at will, and they didn't expect that they could actually eat such wonderful dishes in the student cafeteria of a university, even if they were not inferior to those top-notch private dishes in the capital.

Even if you just talk about the taste of traditional dishes, the food here may be slightly better!

"I just said that this Wanfu meat must taste very good, how about it, right?"

The fat old man's face was full of smiles, and both eyes narrowed into a line, he picked up a spoon and scooped a large spoonful of lotus seeds, chestnuts and red dates into the plate and put them in the bowl, and then took the fast seeds and put them in his mouth, and said while eating,

"Not only is the meat delicious, but even this side dish is delicious, you guys, don't rob me!"

When the other old people heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then they all shook their heads and laughed, this old Zhu really has no change in temperament, except that he is greedy is greedy!

Of course, they all know that Lao Zhu doesn't eat everything, and if he wasn't really hungry for the dishes cooked in the restaurant, he would never move quickly, even if it was just a bite or two.

He's a picky eater!

The fat old man was eating, and suddenly remembered something, raised his head to look at the old man with glasses sitting beside him, and asked:

"Lao Li, you have also tasted the dishes made by Master Xiao Jiang, what do you think now? Are you still going to invite him? ”

"Invite what?"

After Lao Li heard his question, he was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said helplessly,

"What we are organizing is the National Young Celebrity Chef Cooking Competition, and at the level of Chef Xiaojiang, it is no worse than us old men, let him participate in this competition, is there still suspense about the result?"

When the others heard this, they immediately laughed and nodded:

"Indeed, Chef Xiao Jiang's cooking skills are superb, and he is already unbeatable among his peers, let him participate in the Young Celebrity Chef Cooking Competition, this, this is too bullying!"

"Haha, according to me, instead of inviting him to participate in the Young Celebrity Chef Cooking Competition, it is better to award the gold medal directly to him, which will save trouble."

"I'll do this!"

“……”

Several old people were joking, and Lao Li suddenly said:

"I have a suggestion, Chef Xiaojiang doesn't have to participate in the competition, but we can still invite him to a cooking show at the beginning of the competition, and then we will directly award him the honorary certificate of 'Young Celebrity Chef' on behalf of the association.

What do you think of this proposal? ”

"I agree!"

"I raise my hands in approval!"

"I'm okay with that!"

“……”

At this time, Lao Zhu also raised his head, puffed out his cheeks and said:

"I definitely agree, in this way, won't I be able to eat the dishes made by Master Xiaojiang again when the competition starts? I can't ask for it! ”

Others: "......"

"Since everyone has no opinion, then when we return to the capital, let's convene the members of the committee for a meeting, and when everything is decided, let's invite Master Xiao Jiang again, before that, don't disclose the news, lest things fail and make a joke, it will be a shame."

Lao Li ignored Lao Zhu's "tricks", smiled and said,

"Don't just chat, let's eat quickly, such a delicious meal, even if we can't eat it every day!"

"Haha, Lao Li is right, everyone eats, everyone eats!"

"Now that the matter is settled, then we should also enjoy the blessings!"

"Tsk, this dish tastes so good, I really want to eat it every day!"

“……”

For a time, there was laughter and laughter in the box of the "chrysanthemum" brand.

……

In the kitchen of dining room seven.

Of course, Jiang Yu didn't know about the conversation in the box with the "chrysanthemum" brand.

He didn't know that his growing reputation on the Internet would actually attract a group of celebrity chefs from the Celebrity Chef Committee of the Chinese Cuisine Association.

At this moment, he and Du Guangning and the others in the kitchen have been busy for a few hours, they have finished cooking the dishes in the four private rooms, and they have fried a few dishes by the way, and after a while, when the waiters are busy, they will have lunch together.

At this moment, Hua Xiaoling hurriedly ran over, and said to Jiang Yu with a happy face before she arrived:

"Boss, Boss Duan called and said that the restaurant box reservation software has been tested, and he will send it to me tomorrow morning, let me try to operate it, if there is any problem, he can adjust it!"

】

The reason why Jiang Yu left Hua Xiaoling at the beginning was that in addition to needing her to help operate and manage the "Jiang Daqi Canteen" comic account, the bigger reason was to let her be responsible for managing the pre-software of the restaurant's box.

This is actually not complicated, that is, when the reservation time is made on Monday, the reservation system is turned on time, and the system can be closed when the box is full.

Of course, some notices and menu updates about the No. 7 dining room on weekdays also need to be operated by Hua Xiaoling.

These things actually didn't take her too long, so Hua Xiaoling didn't refuse, and responded in one bite.

Compared to being able to eat the food made by Jiang Yu at any time, what is such a small thing?

Therefore, Jiang Yu told Hua Xiaoling Boss Duan's contact information early on, and asked her to be responsible for contacting Boss Duan about the appointment software.

"Is it okay so soon?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, although he was a little surprised, but he was not too surprised, after all, Boss Duan had said before that the development of this appointment software was not difficult, and now it is normal that the time is a little earlier, he thought about it and said,

"Then you got the appointment software, while you haven't started to make an appointment in the past few days, just have a good experience, find a problem and modify it as soon as possible, if there is no problem, then it will be officially uploaded and enabled before next Monday, and you don't forget to send a notification in the comic account at that time."

"Boss, rest assured, how could I have forgotten this?"

Hua Xiaoling nodded and said with a smile,

"Then I am in charge of the restaurant reservation system of No. 7 dining room, can I become a 'big celebrity' in the eyes of many foodies? Heck, what would I do if someone bribed me to get through my back door?

It's really sad! ”

"If you really have this ability, then I have to congratulate you, maybe Boss Duan will hire you with a high salary."

Jiang Yu looked Hua Xiaoling up and down, and said with a smile,

"He and his team spent so much time on carefully developed software, and it was so easy for you to find a loophole by a live broadcast Internet celebrity, so his company must not go out of business?"

"What's wrong with live influencers? Live Internet celebrities also have talents, right? ”

Hua Xiaoling couldn't help but roll her eyes, pouted and said,

"If I really have the ability to do this, I won't go no matter how much money he asks me, and he doesn't have such a delicious meal there!"

Jiang Yu smiled dumbly, waved his hand at her and said, "Okay, don't talk to me here, hurry up and tell those waiters to stop being busy, it's time for lunch." ”

"Eaten? Okay, okay, I'll call someone! ”

When Hua Xiaoling heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, she nodded, turned around and left,

"These people are really, they don't eat actively, and they have brain problems!"

After lunch, the waiters went to clean up the box again, Du Guangning, Pei Guofu and others began to clean up the kitchen, and Jiang Yu came downstairs as usual, ready to make a cup of tea in the small box on the first floor to rest.

After a busy morning, it must be false to say that you are not tired, and a proper rest can not only restore your energy, but also have time to ponder the gains and losses when you cook.

After you have done something, you must be good at summarizing experience, and cooking is actually the same.

For example, the previous court dish Wanfu meat, because he made it for the first time, when he played the 10,000-character flower knife, he always felt that the meat slices were thickly cut, although the final product was soft and glutinous, and it melted in the mouth, but the taste was still slightly worse.

So, wouldn't it be better if you slice the meat a little thinner?

Just as he was thinking about these questions, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, he took it out and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, this call was from his senior sister Liu Xining.

Didn't she say it would be two days before she came? Is it coming now?

Without thinking much about it, Jiang Yu quickly connected the phone:

"Hey, Senior Sister Liu!"

"Xiao Jiang, I, I didn't disturb your work, did I?"

"No, no! It's almost two o'clock, and lunch has already been eaten. ”

Jiang Yu smiled and asked, "Senior sister is calling me now, are you going to come to Jiangzhou today?" ”

"Well, we're on the road now, Chenchen's situation is not suitable for flying, we came by high-speed rail."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Xining's voice was full of worry, and she said,

"Chenchen's situation has changed, he was willing to eat a little two days ago, but since last night, he hasn't eaten anything.

Therefore, I didn't dare to delay any longer, and after explaining my work, I planned to take her to Jiangzhou to find you, you must help her. ”

"Senior sister, don't worry, I will definitely not sit idly by if I can help."

Jiang Yu could naturally feel Liu Xining's helplessness and hesitation at this time, but after thinking about it, he still said in a sincere tone,

"But now her situation, I'm afraid it can't be solved by a few dishes, I suggest you still believe in the ability of modern medicine."

"I know what you said, don't worry, we are also using our abilities to find an authoritative doctor in this area."

Liu Xining took a deep breath and said,

"But Chenchen is reluctant to eat now, and my concern is that she is already hungry before we can find a way to alleviate her condition.

So, this time I'm really going to trouble you! ”
