Chapter 63: The celebrity chef is shocked
As soon as this dish was served, whether it was those VIPs who had tasted Xu Yang's cooking before, or famous children such as Qin Zhongqian and Huang Licheng, who had no time to eat the first dish because of their status, they all couldn't wait to stretch out their chopsticks and sandwich them towards this "secret pipa shrimp".
Anchovy shrimp are placed in a fan-shape, which seems to be a lot of them, but in fact, there are only 20 in a pot, and on average, one person can taste two, and the number is extremely limited.
Some VIPs were afraid that they wouldn't be able to eat, so they simply took away two chopsticks, so anxious that those who couldn't catch it almost jumped to their feet, and scolded in their hearts.
Especially for a petite girl like Tang Siqing, there is nothing she can do except scold these VIPs for not having a gentlemanly demeanor.
Xu Yang's cooking skills really shook the scene tonight.
Jin Yaohua had already sat at the main table belonging to the Jin family at this time, as the actual minority shareholders of the restaurant, their Jin family occupied two tables, and almost all the important people in the family had seats, which made the other family representatives around him envious.
At the beginning, these families thought that the Jin family invited representatives of the major families to the banquet just to establish their prestige, after all, the Wu family had just been destroyed, and the Jin family was in the limelight during this time, and it was normal to have a banquet to entertain all parties.
Unexpectedly, the invitation I received was written "tasting party".
Through many inquiries, I learned that the Jin family wanted to support an unknown junior to be the head chef of the restaurant.
After getting the news, almost no one did not make fun of the Jin family.
Cooking skills, not enough age, and no famous teacher to guide you, how can you be able to hold the scene?
Now, these families who looked down on Xu Yang before feel that they have lost their eyes and failed to show favor to the Jin family in time.
Luckily, the food is still delicious.
Chewing on the incomparably delicious "pipa shrimp" in his mouth, Qin Zhongqian's face was a little complicated.
He could tell that the shrimp were indeed delicious, far more than any dish he had ever tasted since he was a child.
However, with the information he gathered, Xu Yang was simply an ordinary person, and at most he had practiced a magical martial art, but he had hidden it for many years.
But this cooking skill, is it possible that he has been so hidden for so many years?
Overnight, it was as if everything had changed.
For some reason, Qin Zhongqian felt a little uneasy in his heart, and felt that he shouldn't bring his little sister to tonight's banquet.
Turning his head to see the little sister nibbling on a prawn with a dazzled smile, he even forgot the etiquette that he paid the most attention to on weekdays, he was funny, but he still admired Xu Yang a little.
However, this does not mean that he will let Xu Yang go.
Compared with the one in the imperial capital, what can little Xu Yang be counted?
The atmosphere on the Huang family's side is much more dignified.
Huang Licheng looked at the middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, and asked eagerly, "What's the matter?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were closed, completely immersed in the taste of the dish.
After a long time, he sighed deeply and slowly opened his eyes.
"To be able to use the most concise method to fully show the most primitive delicious taste of anchovy shrimp, the secret sauce is fresh and sweet without robbing the taste of the main dish, this is a grandmaster-level technique, even if my teacher Master Lu is resurrected, I am afraid it can only be done like this." Speaking of this, the middle-aged man sighed again: "Cooking, the limit is like this, I can't do it!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Huang Licheng sat down on the seat with a slump in his buttocks.
This celebrity chef named Zhou Xingguo ranks among the top three on the list of five-star chefs in Huaxia today, and can be said to be the top celebrity chef in China.
After knowing that the Huang family wanted to support Xu Yang as the chef of the restaurant, Huang Licheng specially spent a huge amount of money and entrusted enough favors to invite Zhou Xingguo to the magic capital, just to destroy Xu Yang's good deeds tonight.
As a result, I didn't expect that before I could fight, he... actually admitted defeat.
What else to say, even if it is his deceased mentor, Lu Yi, who was known as the "No. 1 chef in the world", who was resurrected, will definitely not be Xu Yang's opponent such a frustrating remark.
Huang Licheng didn't believe it, how old is Xu Yang? Martial arts are so good, is his cooking skills also outstanding?
Have innate knowledge?
It's impossible!
"He must have put something in the dish that shouldn't be put in, you go and find evidence!" Huang Licheng's narrow eyes made a yin owl look, and he commanded the three subordinates he brought.
They nodded and left their seats in turn.
Watching them leave the banquet hall quietly, Huang Licheng had an idea, and immediately thought about it, and asked, "Master Zhou, do you think this dish will take many years of water grinding to make it?"
Although Zhou Xingguo had met Xu Yang, he didn't pay close attention to this chef who looked too young to speak at that time, and only thought that he was a small chef in a restaurant.
In his eyes, the one who can make this kind of superb dish must be a hidden master who is old and has amazing cooking skills.
"At least forty or fifty years of basic skills, in order to cook such a return to the realm of the best dishes, I began to learn to cook at the age of nine, eighteen years old can be worthy of debut, so far there are forty-two years of seeking the road, I don't know if in another twenty years, can I spy on the slightest trace of such a realm? Alas!"
Sighed again.
This is the third sigh he has sighed since tasting this secret prawn.
Zhou Xingguo became famous at a young age, except for his old teacher, he almost never admired any famous chefs, even the two who are now ranked above him on the list of chefs, he is not very convinced.
The young man has been ambitious, and he has not encountered any setbacks since then, and Zhou Xingguo has sighed in the past few decades, I am afraid that he has not come as much as tonight.
"Otherwise, Master Zhou. As far as I know, the people who cooked this dish are in their early twenties this year. Unexpectedly, it is rare for the master to have a time when he looks away. Huang Licheng said with a dark smile, on the surface, he was joking with Zhou Xingguo, but in fact, he was giving Xu Yang eye medicine.
Hearing this, Zhou Xingguo's eyes widened suddenly!
"Impossible, even if he is a genius and started to learn cooking from his mother's womb, it is impossible for him to learn such a method in just twenty years?" After pondering for a moment, Zhou Xingguo wondered: "What is rare in this dish that I can't see through?"
Since doubts have arisen, with Zhou Xingguo's obsession with cooking, he will eventually find a way to figure it out.
Huang Licheng wisely stopped mentioning it, sometimes it was too much, and the framing was too obvious, and it would always show his feet.
The banquet continued, and the first two dishes were amazing, so that all the guests couldn't help but worry about how delicious the next few dishes would be.
If it can be at the level of the first two dishes, if this restaurant is not popular in the future, there is no reason!
And Xu Yang was still busy in the back kitchen at this time, operating the third course, "Broccoli Nectar Juice Fire Recipe".
This is also a very common hometown dish, which is a combination of fresh vegetables and meat, and the previous two dishes are slightly greasy, so on the Xu Yang menu, the next two dishes, whether they are "Qingshui Tianluo" or "Samsung porridge", are mainly light, and this dish is the transition during the period.
Any movement must have highs, tides, and naturally lows, and if there is not enough cohesion, it will appear abrupt and reduce the evaluation of the whole piece.
Martial arts are the same, it is impossible for every move to be a lore move, there will inevitably be a defense, and there will also be light and agile dodges to cooperate with each other to launch, but if the connection is not good, there will be fatal flaws between the moves, which will be taken advantage of by the opponent.
Therefore, some seemingly ordinary moves will also be arranged for transition.
Dao, to the extreme, everything will be the same, reaching a similar state.
The same goes for cooking.
If you grab the taste of each dish, the evaluation of this table will inevitably be lowered a lot.
Fortunately, Xu Yang also has a killer move, which should not disappoint if it is launched together with this slightly ordinary dish.
"Five-flower brewing" will also appear in this world for the first time tonight.
This is a good thing that has been systematically evaluated as a D-class food, and it is a good thing that can increase internal strength and restore physical strength.
In this world, this precious wine is estimated to be unique.
Therefore, Xu Yang is not ready to release too much at once.
One or two drinks per table, should be enough, right?
Do you want it?
Thinking of this, Xu Yang's face showed a cheap smile.
The smile didn't last long, though.
The honey fire must be steamed slowly, and it is rare for Xu Yang to take a rest, but it is obvious that someone is not willing to let him rest well.
One, two, three?
Almost at the same time, he sensed that there were three outsiders sneaking into the back kitchen.
Do you really think of this as your own vegetable garden?
Except for one with a very weak aura, the other two still exude the aura of a strong man despite trying their best to hide their coercion, obviously two martial artists.
Xu Yang smiled faintly again.
These three people are undoubtedly the three dogs brought by Huang Licheng, right?
This guy, why doesn't he know how to have a long memory?
What Xu Yang didn't know was that the reason why he looked down on these two martial artists was because his martial arts were actually too far ahead of the entire Demon Capital Martial Dao.
If it is placed in the eyes of other forces in the Demon Capital, these two martial artists who are the seventh and eighth orders are already existences that can subvert the family.
Xu Yang didn't care too much about these three people, and these three people didn't think too much of him.
Except for Wang Zhe, who is an ordinary person, the other two martial artists have few opponents on weekdays.
Even if Huang Licheng repeatedly told them to be careful, they didn't think that a young Xu Yang could cause them any trouble.
So, they planted.
Not even able to see Xu Yang's face, the two warriors had already been knocked unconscious by a stick and then put into the garbage bag that is usually used in the kitchen for garbage.
Not to mention, this huge garbage bag is just enough to fit these two piles of garbage.
Wang Zhe didn't have an accident because Xu Yang didn't knock him out.
After letting him witness the fate of the two warriors, Xu Yang smiled and forced him to throw away the garbage bag.
No way, the kitchen is too busy, there is no one at all.
Usually, those helpers and cooks have long been kicked out by Xu Yang.
Except for Peng Chao, he didn't plan to show any cooking skills in front of others at all.
His basic skills are really poor, except for a dead-eyed newcomer like Peng Chao, I'm afraid anyone will see the flaws.
When Wang Zhe desperately picked up a garbage bag and dragged another garbage bag out of the back kitchen with one hand, the honey in the pot was just steamed.
