Volume 2 Chapter 117 Cantonese Cuisine Holy Beast Little White Ape
Wang Jiong is crazy, happy crazy.
In less than half an hour after the third episode of "Zhouzhou's Food Truck Life" was broadcast, the ratings skyrocketed, directly breaking 3.5. It is said that those competitors of Youtai were directly confused, and could only watch the advertisers slip away one by one and cry without tears.
It's no wonder that our old Wang, who let us meet Brother Zhou, a bull.
It is the same in any industry, the most rare thing is innovation, if this innovation can be recognized by countless people, it is not only rare, but also can be crowned great.
This is the case with the three sets of cars in Liangzhou in Zhouzhou.
The circle of friends of the passengers has been blown up, coupled with the program effect of Luli Terrace, this innovative food quickly caused a sensation in the northwest food circle in a short period of time, if it is just the promotion of online popularity and entertainment programs, "Lixing World" has half of the official media attributes, under Xu Ning's wonderful pen, 'God Hand' Zhou Zhou has not only become a young master who can create a new genre of cuisine, but even the fact that he is ranked fifteenth in the Qinxing weapon spectrum has also exploded.
The favorite of the people who eat melons is this ranking and that list, diligent weapons? How interesting is that! Sounds like martial arts? Everyone can be regarded as having something to talk about after dinner......
Qinxing people have long heard the name of Zhouzhou, and originally he was somewhat suspicious of his short-term jump to the fifteenth place in the Qinxing weapons spectrum, but when the "soup of heaven" Huai Anren, "Hongyan fried powder" He Wenjie, Huizhou Seven Girls, Cheng Da Mopan, Zhang Zhouxuan and Hu Lingjiu and other two old men appeared at the same time in the "Zhiwei" forum to cheer for Zhouzhou, those dissenting diligence masters were silent, which is also equivalent to Huaxia Qinxing recognized Zhouzhou's status.
Zhouzhou is also very happy, Wang Jiong said, now the show's ability to attract money is the first in the Chinese variety show in the past ten years, this is only three episodes, and the advertising fee received has easily exceeded 200 million Huaxia coins, and there are many gold owners waving banknotes and shouting, 'I want you'!
Famous hosts like Luli TV and Wang Jiong have signed program contracts, and the program group can get 60% of the advertising fees charged, and the big boss is naturally Wang Jiong and Zhouzhou, the two 'major shareholders', Lao Wang Ke said, if the advertising fee can exceed 500 million, he will have at least 50 million in dividends alone!
Zhou Zhou couldn't believe his ears at the time, no wonder many people had sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze into the entertainment industry, and the money was too fast? If you count the shares He Wenjie lost to herself, wouldn't she be a billionaire now? Rich! What is the little money that Dad threw at Lan Qingshan? It can only be regarded as a hairy tip......
God's favorite thing to do is to flirt with human beings, often when you are immersed in happiness, it is the beginning of trouble, x164 is so, and so is Zhouzhou.
Yongliang is very beautiful, the unique Danxia landform can make people who come here for the first time instantly fascinated, but when the sandstorm hits, people will find that the beautiful Yongliang suddenly turned into a terrible beast, as if to devour everything in heaven and earth.
On the railway section that is about 100 kilometers away from Yumen and 150 kilometers away from Yangguan, X164 encountered the largest sandstorm in the history of Yongliang, and the heavens and the earth became dark in an instant, and the billowing sand and dust were piled up in the air layer by layer, rolling and surging, like a demon god who kept twitching in the air!
The passengers who saw the sandstorm for the first time were very excited at first, everyone laughed and screamed, and they actually had the leisure to take out their mobile phones to take pictures and post them on Moments; But when the windows were completely covered by the sand and dust, and even the huge body of the X164 began to shake incessantly, everyone held their breath and happily prayed to God that this terrible sandstorm would pass quickly.
The sandstorm finally receded, but the X164 two-meter-high body was half buried, and even the compartment door could not be pushed open, and it took more than two hours to hear the sound of the track crushing the sand outside, accompanied by a huge digging sound, and the sand pile in front of the car door was cleared by the rescuers.
Although the passengers escaped, X164 was temporarily unable to move forward because the railway ahead was piled up with yellow sand, and it would take at least a week to reopen. According to the people from the troops stationed in Yongliang and the Yumen train depot who rushed to the rescue, the entire Yongliang and the Western Regions were hit by a sandstorm that was seen once in 50 years, and the rescue time of a week was already very optimistic.
The passengers and crew will be taken to the nearest town for a week or more, and the local town government will take care of their food and accommodation.
Some passengers were dumbfounded, while others were excited, and it seemed good to be able to eat and drink for free for a week in a nearby town, which was also a rare experience during the trip.
Su Rou and Boss Cao glanced at each other, and the two big bosses chuckled at the same time.
Su Rou smiled: "This sandstorm is really timely, otherwise I don't know how to open my mouth to Zhouzhou, this time that Cantonese Cuisine Holy Beast finally has an opponent." ”
"He opened an authentic Cantonese restaurant in Singapore, and his influence is not under the chef of 'Jalan Xiang Pavilion'.
This time, I don't know what kind of demagoguery I was afraid of, but I actually wholeheartedly supported the Michelin standard, which was nothing, we support free choice and encourage full competition, but he has laughed at our 'three meals a day' standard in the Singapore media many times is not right. ”
Cao Desheng shook his head and said: "Our 'three meals a day' gourmets and chefs once came to try dishes and challenge, but they all lost, most of the master chefs cherish feathers and it is difficult to invite them, and now the most suitable person to 'shoot' is Master Xiao Zhou, I have confidence in Master Xiao Zhou!" ”
Su Rou nodded and said, "I'll go and ask Master Xiao Zhou, but most of Yongliang has been affected by the sandstorm, I'm afraid we need a helicopter ......."
Cao Desheng said with a smile: "Fude Group will come forward to apply for air access, if nothing happens, the helicopter will arrive in half a day."
Xiao Su, a week is enough time for me to go back to the headquarters, this trip to Singapore will be entrusted to you, in addition to Xiao Zhou, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu Jiuyu had better go to Singapore together......"
"Mr. Cao, don't worry, I'll arrange it."
-----------------
After years of development, the restaurants in Singapore's Chinatown area have been a collection of oriental cuisine, including not only the eight major Chinese cuisines, local flavor snacks, but also the dishes of Annam, Cambodia and other countries, especially in Southeast Asia, the famous Annam little ladies, but also obedient winter, fried green onions in lard, spicy pieces of mothers, in this romantic country is a great name.
However, it is still easy to distinguish between authentic Chinese restaurants and restaurants in small Southeast Asian countries such as Annam, but if the decoration is exquisite and atmospheric, then there is no need to ask that it is opened by Chinese compatriots; Those stingy and rustic little restaurants are either from Annam or Cambodia, and there are a few that are opened by Malays.
Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan and Wu Jiuyu are both first-class Diaozui, I heard that the object of this 'visit' is the Cantonese Cuisine Holy Beast Little White Ape, which ranks fourteenth in the Qinxing Weapon Spectrum, and they are very looking forward to it all the way; after coming to Singapore, they followed the local staff of the Su Group to a three-story cornice-like ancient building.
"Tiangang Tower?"
Zhou Zhou saw that the decoration of this store was magnificent, even the railings of the door posts were made of good rosewood, and a golden plaque on a black background was hung on the main entrance, which read: "Tiangang Tower" three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing. A store name like this, not to mention that it is abroad, is rarely used in China, Tiangang...... What a big breath, huh?
And the door of this store is on the panel, and it is not open at all. Old man Zhang Zhouxuan was not in a hurry, squatted at the door with his sleeves copied, took out a cigarette from his arms, took a puff, and said in a foggy manner: "What Tiangang Tower... I'm afraid that the 'little white ape' Yuan Gorilla put gold on his face.
Obviously a good cook, I have to say what kind of descendant Yuan Tiangang is, and I gave the restaurant this name, nondescript, if it weren't for his good skills, my old man wouldn't like to come......"
Wu Jiu's tongue sounded ridiculous, and he said in his heart that it was not uncommon to see you wiping saliva along the way, so you don't like to come?
The staff of the 'Three Meals a Day' who led the way smiled and said: "Mr. Su, chefs, every afternoon, the little white ape will put a dish out for public auction, and the guest with the highest bid can make an exception for him, without making an appointment and queuing...... In Singapore, his fame is even greater than that of Chef Ho of Jalan Heung Court. ”
In front of Su Rou, the boss, he has to work hard, the environment in Singapore is good, he gets a double salary here, and he still wants to take root here. ”
Su Rou nodded: "What kind of dish was auctioned yesterday?" ”
"Mr. Su, the dish he added to this time yesterday was raw cooking unicorn fish, and finally he got 5,000 Singapore dollars, if it is exchanged for Huaxia coins, it will be 25,000 yuan......"
"A raw unicorn fish is sold for twenty-five thousand?"
Hearing this price, even Zhouzhou stayed down, this is too expensive! I really want to try the craftsmanship of this Cantonese holy beast to see if it's worth the price.
The group walked into the 'Tiangang Pavilion', went directly to the second floor, and was not in a hurry, so they ordered a pot of tea and drank it slowly.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, it was really like a crowd of visitors, in addition to Chinese, there were also high-nosed foreigners, and even African-American black brothers, which was almost like the World Congress.
However, most of them are Chinese, accounting for at least eighty or ninety percent, and most of these diners are middle-aged.
Zhou Zhou listened to the discussions of the diners around him to understand, it turned out that the private room here had to be reserved, and only when he entered the private room could he eat Cantonese food made by the little white ape, and the hall on the first floor was a place for individual guests to eat, and other chefs dealt with the guests.
The scattered seats on the second floor do not sell hot dishes, only cold dishes and tea and fruits with wine, and there is a minimum consumption of S$100 per seat, like a group of five people, even if they don't eat anything, they have to pay S$500 first.
"Isn't this a money grab?"
It's really the first time I've seen Zhouzhou who opened a restaurant like this.
However, the 'Tiangang Building' is not in vain to collect the money, with the seat on the second floor, you can have the qualification to participate in the 'exceptional dish' auction, and no matter whether you can get it in the end or not, you can get a silver card, and you can get a 20% discount on consumption when you come back.
This business is really shrewd, what a little white ape, and it is really flamboyant.
Zhou Zhou has a faint feeling in his heart, the chef's foundation is to serve diners, and the price of dishes can be set according to craftsmanship, not that it can't be expensive, but you can't use guests as leeks to cut?
Tianganglou didn't let them wait too long, and after more than half an hour, they heard a gong on the third floor, and a big red banner hung out, and there were also three calligraphy words on it - 'Xia Snake Soup'!
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the last auction dish of Chef Yuan in our restaurant before the beginning of autumn.
This Cantonese dish is a dish created by Chef Yuan, called Xia Snake Soup, also known as Dragon Snake Qilu! It is said that after you eat this dish, you will be able to nourish yin and aphrodisiac and have strong vitality, just like a land dragon snake, flying straight for nine days! The reserve price of this dish is S$3,000, and the price is 1,000 each time, and there is no limit to any more. ”
The amateur auctioneer on the third floor, dressed in Tang costume, can really fool, and he still uses Chinese Mandarin with a bit of Beijing films.
"Wait!"
Zhou Zhou saw that it was Xia Snake Soup, but he just smiled, but didn't say anything. Wu Jiuyu was stunned, looked up at the amateur auctioneer and sneered: "Boy, this is the little white ape is not authentic enough, right?" Even if you are blinded to foreigners, you actually blindfolded your own people?
Snake soup is snake soup, right, and you still created your own? You're a cheater! ”
"Hey, old man, they are all Chinese, do you want to be virtuous? My dad died a long time ago. ”
"Bah, if you don't make it clear today, I'm your father's grandfather!"
Wu Jiuyu glared: "You let the little white ape in the back kitchen give me a word, what kind of snake is he using today, the southern snake or the northern snake, the green bamboo silk or the pretty five flowers, if you don't make it clear, you will auction it!" ”
"Oops?"
"Who is this guy, who dares to pick the little white ape in public, doesn't he?"
Wu Jiuyu's provocation, the foreigners were just it, and the Chinese people present immediately began to discuss, and even the individual customers who were originally sitting on the first floor to eat stood up and looked upstairs, wanting to see which diner was actually like this.
Who is the little white ape? Old customers who have come here a few times know that they can let guests pick on thorns casually?
If this person can't say anything about four or five or six today, he will have to be driven out by 'Tiangang Tower'? Other chefs may not do this, but the little white ape will, this one is very angry......
There are eight major cuisines in China, which are divided into Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and Hui.
Originally, it was led by Lu cuisine and led the world's dishes, but in modern times, Lu cuisine was gradually caught up by Cantonese cuisine and Sichuan cuisine because it was too complacent, especially Cantonese cuisine with diversification. The three top chefs in Cantonese cuisine, known as the "Snake King", "Elvis King" and "Monkey King", are in charge of the world, and this "little white ape" is the "Monkey King" led by the three beasts.
Therefore, these old customers who often eat Cantonese cuisine in Tiangang Lou know that the three holy beasts of Cantonese cuisine are now the monkey king Qitian!
Other restaurants are guests who pick the chef, but Tianganglou is the chef who picks the guests, do you still love to come, love to eat or not! Now that this guest dares to touch the monkey's buttocks, he is not afraid of being caught?
Sure enough, before Wu Jiuyu's words fell, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a chef's high hat, a thin body, a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, and bright eyes pacing out, looking down at Wu Jiuyu and saying, "This gentleman, I thank you in advance...... You just asked me what kind of snake I use, it seems that you are a eater? ”
