Chapter 252: Isn't it Su Qingfeng?
Harvey's behavior is strange, but Edson's behavior is even more strange.
Seeing that Edson, who had always dealt with Harvey very well, he actually nodded, "I also want to eat the dishes made by Master Su." ”
When several big leaders of the machinery factory heard this, they raised their eyebrows almost instantly, glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of interest.
The master of this Taihe Hotel ...... Not bad.
Thinking of this, they also had a certain curiosity about the dishes made by Su Qingfeng.
But it's clearly not the time to serve hard dishes yet.
The first hard dish is squirrel mandarin fish.
When he saw the flesh explode like a hairy fish, Harvey suddenly forgot what he had said and reached out to the squirrel mandarin fish.
One bite down, the taste of squirrel mandarin fish is sweet and sour, and at the same time, under the modulation of Lu Datou, this taste will not have a sweet and greasy taste, but a fragrant and greasy taste.
The squirrel mandarin fish comes from Suzhou cuisine, but all the big leaders on the table eat it with relish.
Although they are also leading cadres, the background of the times is placed here, and it is destined that they will not be able to eat and drink every day.
Nowadays, taking advantage of official duties and enjoying good food is simply a good errand.
Harvey chewed on the squirrel mandarin fish, couldn't help but look at the waiter on the side curiously, gestured, and added a broken Chinese dialect, and even guessed his question.
"Has the chef in this hotel changed? It's long overdue! We've all come to China, why do we always eat steak? This thing...... I've been tired of eating it before. ”
When the waiter heard this, the smile on his face was impeccable, but he had already begun to curse in his heart.
Why didn't you say it earlier?
Do you really think beef is cheap?
I knew that this group of foreigners liked to eat pork and fish so much, why did they have to go to great lengths to buy beef?
Beef is expensive!
Thinking of this, the waiter kept a smile and left silently.
As the dishes were presented one by one, Harvey's eyes glanced and he suddenly saw a bowl of unremarkable looking soup, and there seemed to be something floating in it.
Just wait until he takes a closer look, and now ...... He couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's ...... Strips, threads, what is it?! ”
The comrade serving the dish, when he heard this, immediately smiled and said, "This is one of the dishes prepared by Master Su today - Wensi Tofu." The threads and strips you are talking about in it are actually the point that tofu has reached after being processed by knife workers. ”
Hearing this, everyone at the table was shocked.
You tell me, it's all cut out with a kitchen knife?
How is this possible?
Edson didn't believe it in the first place, these people, didn't they think they didn't understand the food of Huaguo, so they deliberately fooled him in front of him, right?
If you think about it, it's really possible.
Especially...... He himself used to like to do this, so he subconsciously treated others with himself.
Edson scooped a bowl of Wensi tofu, slipped it, and inhaled a portion of it.
When he ate it, he was stunned!
It's really tofu!
How exactly did that Master Su do it?
Tofu can be cut like this.
The leaders of those machinery factories were also a little surprised.
Looking at Edson's face, he seemed to have eaten tofu.
Wensi Tofu...... Of course they've all heard of it, but if you say, have you ever eaten it...... Obviously, none of them had eaten anything.
It's good to have meat dishes in the canteen on weekdays, just eat meat and eat a lot, where have you ever eaten such a crepe thing.
Just out of curiosity, they each served a bowl.
When they took a bite of the warm Wensi tofu, their eyes suddenly lit up.
This Wensi tofu is unpretentious, and the knife work is a little better, but the ingredients in it are still very rich.
In addition to tofu, there are bamboo shoots, chicken, ham, shiitake mushrooms, and so on.
When you eat it, the tofu has a soft and smooth texture, and the mouth is dense and silky.
Before you know it, a bowl of Wensi tofu will be counted.
It's just that even so, they don't have a strong sense of satiety, but a feeling of an open appetite.
Just at this time, the three sets of ducks made by Su Qingfeng came up.
Three sets of duck as Huaiyang dishes have been stewed in a casserole for a long time, and when they are brought out, the rich salty fragrance instantly spreads domineeringly in the air.
Looking at the ducks layer upon layer, this novel appearance quickly attracted the attention of a group of foreigners.
Even the leaders of the machinery factory were curious.
There is a well-informed leader, who can be regarded as half a gourmet, and when he saw this dish, he couldn't help but smile, "The back kitchen of this Taihe Hotel is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." Huaiyang cuisine and Suzhou cuisine have been made a lot, and it is rare that the dishes made here do not necessarily follow the taste of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but are combined with our local tastes, and they have a unique flavor to eat. It can be seen that whether it is food or policy, this is a ...... that needs to be adapted to local conditions."
Harvey ate meat with his head down, and his mouth was full of oil.
He wasn't here to do business.
In other words, he is just a mascot, and there are other people who are responsible for handing over to Huaguo here.
As a gentleman, he just needs to eat well and do well.
Of course, at the beginning, Harvey was not reconciled, just to make a gentleman, but he tried it, and it turned out that he was still a gentleman who ate and drank, which was the most worry-free and effortless.
Also save money.
While eating, he also whispered to Edson, "These three sets of ducks are really good, Edson, do you want to have some?" I didn't like to eat duck skin, but I just took a bite and it felt like that...... It's really good, try it? ”
Edson snorted, "You are stupid to me, you have meat to eat, why do you still eat skin?" ”
When Harvey heard this, he immediately didn't bother to pay attention to this guy.
Idiot.
Delicious meat is the same, but delicious skin is not so easy to come across.
Harvey had three sets of ducks, and he cooked two bowls of rice by himself, and his stomach was slightly bulging.
He leaned back in his chair, looking satisfied.
He sighed comfortably, because after he was full of wine and food, he felt a feeling of being full of food and desire, and he was so lazy that he almost wanted to sleep.
At this moment, another bowl of food was brought to the table.
This dish looks interesting as well.
At least Harvey's gaze was drawn in an instant.
I saw the raw material of this dish, and I could still see that it was a carp.
The carp is cut into a fluffy fish with fluffy fish shreds, shaped like a lion holding a ball, shaking its head and tail, and the image of its beard and hair are all open, and then watered by the soup, gradually turning into a dish with bright color and ruddy luster.
Yo.
Looks good.
Harvey touched his belly.
Well...... It seems to have gone down a bit, just in time to try new dishes.
He took advantage of the fact that these people around him were still playing tricks, Hua Chinese and Yangwen were mixed together, chattering, messy, and his head was buzzing when he heard it, so he simply ate the newly picked fish.
At first glance, he seemed to be called something...... Golden Retriever Lionfish?
Harvey didn't fully understand it, but he was still able to catch the words "lion" and "fish".
That's interesting.
Harvey kind of figured it out.
Isn't this piece of fish the same as a fried lion?
He raised his eyebrows, then stretched out his chopsticks and took a slice of fish.
After chewing in his mouth, Harvey frowned imperceptibly.
This dish gave him the feeling of a beautiful package, but there was only one chocolate in it.
Chocolate isn't unpleasant, but it's not as anticipatory as the packaging.
At the end of the day, Harvey was a little lost when he ate it in his mouth.
The first reaction he had was ...... This was definitely not done by Master Su.
If Su Qingfeng did it, the taste would definitely be better.
Although he is not familiar with Su Qingfeng, he doesn't know why, after these few meals, Harvey has already developed a strong recognition of Su Qingfeng.
The first point is that Su Qingfeng will make it specifically for what he likes, like what is sweet and sour, it is his favorite, especially the pot wrapped meat, which makes Harvey still have a feeling of reluctance when he thinks about it now.
The second point, of course, is that Su Qingfeng's cooking skills are excellent, even three sets of salty and fragrant dishes like duck, Harvey can still eat sweet, but if there is pot wrapped meat, he will still eat a little more.
The leader over there immediately smiled when he saw Harvey's pensive look.
With a smile and a proud tone, "This dish is the signature dish of our county." Chef Ye, who made this dish, relied on this golden retriever lionfish to pass the assessment and become the master chef of the state-run hotel. How did you feel about the food? ”
Harvey nodded, and said with some noncommittality, "Not bad." ”
In fact, it's not bad.
It's just that for Harvey, he feels that Su Qingfeng's level is better.
The leader was very happy to hear this.
For a long time, in the process of introducing and exporting to foreign countries, everyone is cautiously trying, and at the same time, in this process, whether it is the leader of the machinery factory, or other leaders in the county, there is a feeling of holding their breath but powerless.
This is really because the gap between China and China is too big today.
It will take generations of effort to bridge the gap.
But the cuisine is different.
In terms of food, Huaguo has a long culinary heritage, and now the master chef of the state-run hotel seems to be inconspicuous at first glance, but no matter which one of them, especially these masters in the county, the signature dishes in their hands are placed in the past, and they can open a big hotel by themselves.
Obviously, these foreign guests now have a very high impression of Chinese food.
Seeing Harvey's approval of this dish, the smile on the big leader's face became even stronger.
At this time, the master chef of the back kitchen also came to the box and routinely asked questions about the taste that needed to be improved.
Ye Wenxing heard Harvey's evaluation, and his smile was still the same, but the curvature of the corners of his lips rose.
Lu Datou was not used to him, and when he turned his back, he rolled his eyes slightly.
Ye Wenxing noticed this scene and didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth pressed down slightly.
Su Qingfeng took the small movements of these two people into his eyes, and couldn't help but be a little funny.
But fortunately, these two people, although there are contradictions, they know how to measure, and they just make some small moves in private.
If you really want to make trouble, let alone the hotel manager, even the county leaders can't spare this group of people.
Even if you want to fight in the nest, you have to divide the occasion.
But fortunately, these two people are making trouble, but at least in general, they are still passable.
Ye Wenxing kept his smile unchanged, and when he saw Harvey, his smile was bright, "Mr. Harvey, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved about the golden retriever lionfish you made for me?" ”
It's all said that it's not bad, but there shouldn't be much to improve it, right?
It's not just Ye Wenxing who thinks so, but even other people think so.
Lu Datou looked at the sky and the air, but he didn't want to see Ye Wenxing's face.
However, at this moment, Harvey smacked his teeth, frowned, and said, "I feel that the fish is crispy, but the inside is not tender enough." The knife work is good, but there is still room for improvement. And in this color, it doesn't feel as good as the previous bowl of squirrel mandarin fish. And also...... I always feel that this taste is a little worse. ”
This series of comments successfully made Ye Wenxing's face turn slightly blue.
No.
Didn't you say it wasn't bad?
He stiffened his face and tentatively said, "Mr. Harvey, are you sure this bowl is not bad?" ”
Harvey was a little dazed, but still nodded, "It's not bad, it's not bad, but it's not good enough." ”
Ye Wenxing's face was completely stiff.
Who made you learn Chinese dialect so smoothly!
Look at the other side.
Lu Datou was already fluttering.
He couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh three times, then pounced on the broken-mouthed foreigner, and grabbed him one last time.
At this moment, Lu Datou completely forgot how much he hated this foreigner who loved food and was picky.
But at this moment, if it weren't for being in front of people, he almost laughed so much that his teeth were exposed.
This Harvey has a vision!
Ye Wenxing looked at Lu Datou, bit his cheek, and was stunned from the pain, and found his smile back.
He smiled brightly, "Mr. Harvey, I can understand what is ahead. But...... What does it mean to have a bad taste? Which of these dishes do you think tastes the best? ”
This question is almost a trap.
Basically, whoever is called by name will receive too much attention from others.
As for what others will think in their hearts...... Nature speaks for itself.
Harvey frowned, looked puzzled, and said as a matter of course:
"You guys are the number one here, aren't you Master Su? He's cooking the best, is there a problem? ”
When Su Qingfeng heard this, he instantly looked at Harvey in surprise.
This guy ...... How did you get smarter?
So talkative!
I'll see you tomorrow when I'm done with 4,000 words
