Chapter 58: A Crazy Feast

But it was said that the three pots of beautiful shredded potatoes were placed in front of everyone, which was pleasing to the eye, and the three of them were full of confidence in their works and thought that their own was the best. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, from the point of view of appearance, Lin Sheng's victory is bright, Zheng Qiang's victory is oily, and Li Xiang's is only refreshing, compared to the two of them, Li Xiang is obviously defeated.

Lu Fang also smiled confidently, in the end, it was his own soldiers, and a piece of shredded potatoes could make flowers. As for that kid, except for the good knife work, the whole process has no bright spots.

Of course, whether a dish is superior or not depends on eating it to know.

So he made a concluding statement: "From the point of view of appearance, the dishes of the three people have their own merits, Mr. Lei, how about we evaluate one or two?"

Lei Lei smiled and said, "Yes, then how about me, you, Sister Su, and the three chefs as judges?" In fact, now he can already know the result, so he called Lin Sheng and Zheng Qiang to prevent dissatisfaction.

As the executive chef, Lu Fatzi participates in hotel management, and he also knows Su Hong's identity, so he has no objection to the candidate.

But Li Xiang spoke: "I'll forget it, let's change it to Yege as my plenipotentiary." Li Xiang took the black cat from Su Hong's hand and said to her, "Eat more, it tastes great." Then he put the night song on the desk.

Everyone was speechless about his behavior, he was really an alternative ancestor, and he had never heard of a cat that loved to eat shredded potatoes.

But this is just a small episode, there are chopsticks and dipping dishes brought by the waiter, and water to clear the mouth.

The tasting begins.

From left to right, start with Lin Sheng. Each person gently pinched a small chopstick, and after eating, they savored it for a while. Lu Fang, as a professional, first commented: "Crispy and spicy, and the freshness of the bell pepper neutralizes the heavy mouth of the pepper well, which is good." ”

A few others nodded, indeed. Lin Sheng also tasted it, showing a faint smile, this is what he wants.

As for Nightsong, a waitress helps her clip a chopstick into Fluttershy. But she just lowered her head and sniffed, without opening her mouth, and the mortal products in the world were not enough to see.

Begin to taste the second pot, Zheng Qiang's work.

Everyone first drank saliva to clear their mouths, and then picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted it carefully. After a moment of aftertaste, Lu Fang said: "The spicy red oil, the freshness of the oil, the crispness of the shredded potatoes, overlapping layers and intertwined flavors and flavors, are very good, and they are good at winning with the previous one." ”

This comment is very pertinent, even a rookie in the kitchen industry like Su Hongxiang nodded, in the end, it was a chef, and the two dishes made her full of praise, which was delicious.

As for Lin Xian and Zheng Qiang, they have tasted each other's dishes separately, although they don't want to admit it, they have to say that each other's taste is comparable to their own.

The two of them sighed one after another, and after more than ten years of competition, they still went hand in hand, and it was difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

As for the performance of the night song, it was still the same, just sniffing, and of course no one saw the disgusted expression on his face.

It was Li Xiang's turn, Lin Zheng and the others were already interested, the reason why they agreed to the game was actually compared to the two of them, and they had automatically ignored Li Xiang, and it was all an additive.

What's more, the fact is also the same, Li Xiang's pot of shredded potatoes can be mixed by any apprentice, and the knife skills are okay.

Despite their lack of interest, they still have basic courtesy, so they take a sip of water, pick up Fluttershy, and put a chopstick in Li Xiang's basin.

There is also Lu Fang who has the same idea, and he has a few meanings.

However, Su Hong's makeup is the opposite, she has eaten the kind of noodles that people will never forget, and she has enough confidence in Li Xiang. Moreover, this pot of shredded potatoes also has a part of her credit.

She filled her little dipping saucer to the brim. As for Lei Lei, she also wanted to pretend to be a little more like Su Hong, but the boss's reserve made her not do it.

Of course, there is only one person who really knows the goods, but there is only one Yege, far away, she smells the smell of Xuanming water, the origin of the breath of life in the world, no wonder the tomb keeper will never forget.

Saliva flowed sideways, and he ate the shredded potatoes on the plate in three or two bites, and at the same time screamed at the waiter in dissatisfaction, complaining that he had given too little.

The onlookers originally thought that the kitten did not eat shredded potatoes, but they knew that they were so enthusiastic about the owner, and they all expressed their appreciation for this humane kitten.

The five people with the dishes ate almost at the same time, and then ...... There is no then.

Several people widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief. What a taste it is.

Two words: refreshing, a kind of refreshment that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, shredded potatoes are sent to the mouth, every time you chew it, you seem to be able to experience the breeze and spring.

Several people were drunk.

Even though Lei Lei and Su Hongxiang were already mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the freshness and comfort that burst into their mouths, not to mention that the other three had eaten it for the first time.

As professional chefs, in addition to cooking, what they are better at is tasting delicious food. But this time, they collectively lost their voices, and there were no words to express their feelings at this moment. For Su Hongxiang and Lei Lei, it's just a tasting.

But they are different, taste is the life of a chef, and after tasting this dish, they believe that they will never improve in their cooking skills in this life.

They lost their minds, not because they didn't want to work hard, but because this fairy-like taste had been engraved in their hearts and kept fresh for a long time.

Lu Fang put down the chopsticks and dishes dejectedly, looking at the ordinary shredded potatoes in front of him, he has been in the industry for forty years, and he has never seen such a delicious taste, the whole process is clearly visible, why can he lose his mind so much? He waved his hand at Lei Lei and said, "Let's serve." ”

Listening to the voice, it seems to be ten years old in an instant, yes, as the saying goes, the years make people old, and this unsurmountable peak makes people desperate, and the same is true!

The collective silence of the chefs made the onlookers confused about the situation, what is going on, who wins?

Look at their performance should be delicious, but why didn't they give a comment, what's the situation?

Lei Lei's order below gave the answer.

She looked at her watch, nearly an hour had passed, and the time had passed in the competition and tasting, and when it was almost over, she called the waiter, and according to the number of banquet personnel, she took the dishes and put them on the plate.

Above the eighth floor are large banquet halls, which are mainly used for large-scale conference reception halls, so the decoration is extremely luxurious.

In the Peony Hall, the reception banquet of the Economic Forum is underway, but the guests are full of wine and food, and it is nearing the end.

In fact, the standard of the forum is not high, and the influence in the international community is very small, but the influence of several big people in the country and the world is extraordinary, so the Hecheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have also made temporary adjustments, Secretary Huang Shutong delivered an opening speech, and Mayor Xie QD presided over it.

Therefore, Lei Lei attaches great importance to this banquet, whether she can start the reputation of the "Asgard Cuisine" series of dishes, it depends on tonight, this name is still her temporary thought.

The waitress who leads the dishes, she has to prepare the dishes herself.

In fact, for the organizing committee, the reason why this forum banquet broke the routine and used the traditional Chinese food mode, in addition to the fact that there are many foreign guests who are interested in Chinese food, there is also a main reason, that is, to take care of the habits of these business leaders, especially one of the special guests, Wu Guangxiu, but he canceled the trip, but the dining mode has been issued and changed again. Unexpectedly, this old man came again.

Wu Guangxiu, a native of Cantonese, is a real legend, born as a chef in his early years, after more than 50 years of hard work, he has created a huge business empire - Huangpu Industry, involving all aspects of the industry, which also makes him successfully enter the top ten of the Chinese rich list.

Of course, he has many titles, but he himself admits that he is only a chef, and he owns a number of three-Michelin-starred restaurants, and he founded the famous fancy Cantonese cuisine. Now in his eighties, he still works every day, in his words, to find business inspiration in the kitchen.

In fact, for many business leaders, they have their own ways of finding business inspiration, for example, now, at a table in the banquet center, the person who is talking to Wu Guangxiu, named Lu Xiaofu, a man in his fifties, a local, is a master of national arts, and he has been practicing martial arts all day long. Of course, as a rich man who also entered the rich list, his experience can also be written into a legendary novel.

Therefore, for many successful people, their best is not their profession, such as Albert Einstein, whose violin playing is said to be far more professional than professional.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about a table in the center of this banquet. The ten people at this table, except for Huang Shutong and Xie QD, are all top-level figures in the Chinese business community, and if they talk about economic strength, they are much stronger than other foreign guests, because most of the foreign guests present are professional managers.

Wu Guangxiu sat at the top, and the one on the left was Huang Shutong, who had not been in office for a long time. Because of the existence of the old man Wu, he has always been the protagonist, and he is now in a supporting role, and Lu Xiaofu is on the right. As for Xie Qiqi, he sat in the deputy escort position.

Also because of Wu Guangxiu's existence, Huang Xie and the others must accompany them throughout the process, and if it is not a temporary situation, at least the vice governor in charge of the economy will also be present.

This is not so much an economic forum as a special job fair.

And for these top business figures, it's no longer about business itself, for example, five out of ten people at this table have the title of foodie.

So just like at this moment, Lu Xiaofu is asking Wu Guangxiu for advice on food.

"Elder Wu, today's fancy dish feels a little different from what you eat at your restaurant!"

The old man was in good spirits, maybe because he had drunk wine, his face was ruddy, he was staring at the half-drunk monkey maw soup in front of him, when he heard Lu Xiaofu's words, his face was angry, and said: "Hmph, what is slightly different, I have already understood, the executive chef here is called Lu Fang, or your own family, before coming here, he was the head chef of my place for a few years, and it is said that he was poached by a high salary, I see that the salary has risen, but the level is still a mess." ”

Lu Xiaofu didn't expect that there would be this section, since it involved his former employees, it was difficult to say it again. For this phenomenon of high-paying job hopping, different bosses have different judging criteria.

It just so happened that Lei Lei brought the waiter to the field.

There is also a lectern in the banquet hall for impromptu presentations in the dining room. Lei Lei directly opened the microphone, gave a brief introduction, and said: "Hello leaders and guests, I am Lei Lei, the manager of Jiangnanju, in order to thank the leaders for taking care of Jiangnanju, we specially invited a special chef to create a finale dish for everyone, please taste it." ”

After the introduction, immediately instruct the waiter to make the dishes.

But this action, everyone present has their own performance.

Foreigners were more surprised, the exquisite dishes like paintings opened their eyes, each dish was so beautiful, although the habit of eating together made them not very accustomed to it, but they still couldn't help but have a big appetite, so after an hour of fighting, now it is a round belly, and they can't walk anymore. I didn't expect that there would be one in the back, and it was the so-called finale? Could it be that those boutiques in front are just ordinary?

The top-level people such as Wu Guangxiu expressed their dissatisfaction, and the gourmets were very particular about the order of dining, starting with appetizers, medium and large meals, and finally clearing their mouths. Now that the banquet is over, everyone is full of wine and food, and there is even a finale, what level is this? His impression of this restaurant was further reduced.

But there was another person who was the most unhappy in the field, that is, Lu Qingming, the big housekeeper of Hecheng at the other table. As the chairman of the organizing committee of this forum, he has looked at all the affairs of the forum, lest there be mistakes, including banquet dishes, there is no finale dish on the list?

For politicians, the most annoying thing is that they are no longer in control.

Although Lu Qingming was dissatisfied with the hotel's behavior, he didn't have much temper with Lei Lei, and he still had to take the time to remind the boss that this person had a deep background and should not be offended.

Thinking, shredded potatoes had been distributed in front of him, and like everyone else, his thoughts were:

Isn't this a cold shredded potato? No matter how finely you cut the shredded potatoes, it's also a home-cooked dish?

Is it the chef's lack of eyes, or the restaurant's lack of eyes, this is the so-called finale?

Then, I was angry in my heart, if you really have any high-end dishes, you just don't serve them according to the list, but which one is it now? Isn't this a change of method to embarrass Hecheng? No matter what, this time the matter must not be left like this, at least verbal criticism and warning, otherwise there are still two days left in the next meeting, and maybe there will be some moths?

Lei Lei Bu finished the dish and did not leave immediately, she can be similar to what will be the reaction of people after eating shredded potatoes, and she will definitely be letting her play later.

Most people directly pushed the plate to the central turntable, and then communicated, after all, they were already full of food and drink, and even the delicacies of the mountains and seas could not attract interest at this time. And they are all business elites, and after-dinner exchanges are really the norm, and everyone is now paying more attention to the economy.

One affects one, and more than a dozen tables are down, and there is no one who moves chopsticks.

Of course, the so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, Wu Guangxiu, who was born as a chef, is getting serious at this time. First of all, he carefully looked at this plate of cold shredded potatoes, and after a while, he took out a small magnifying glass from his arms, and was surprised to find that these shredded potatoes were not very thin, half a millimeter thick, but they were amazingly consistent. The super chef's vicious eye can easily tell that these shredded potatoes will not deviate much even if they are measured with calipers.

This is rare, although this dish smells tasteless, but in terms of knife work alone, it has reached the extreme, few people can reach this level, put it ten years ago, he might have been, but now his hands have begun to tremble.

Since the knife work is so exquisite, I think the cooking skills should be good, why does this dish not have any taste? Even if it is cold, it should have the taste of seasoning, not to mention the red chili oil on the shredded potatoes.

The old man became interested in this eccentric chef, and he decided to try it, regardless of the gimmick of the so-called finale, although he had already eaten enough, and the old man's stomach was not easy to restrain himself.

He said to both sides: "Shutong, Xiaofu, try it, this dish should taste good." ”

After speaking, I picked up the chopsticks and pinched a few. Seeing him eat, everyone at the table had to reluctantly pick up the chopsticks. Of course, this table is the weather vane, and the rest of the tables saw them move, and they followed suit, the most important thing is that the officials who sat with them, the first and second bosses have moved their chopsticks, how dare you not eat?

What's even funnier is that some people have already brought the plate to the turntable, but they have no choice but to turn it around again and bring it down again.

And then, as if entering a summer pond.

I only heard one exclamation after another:

"Wow......"

"Wow......"

"Wow......"

Whenever the dish is brought to the mouth, it must be complicated, or surprised, what kind of taste is this?

With just a pair of chopsticks, they saw spring, the real spring breeze blowing on their faces, cool and slow.

The banquet hall was instantly ignited, and the crowd was excited, and those who had not yet eaten served their plates. As for those who have already tasted it, they are even more chopsticks, lest others come to grab it.

The dining environment used to be quiet, and the people were all high-quality people, and even the communication was whispering and whispering, but now, it is like a vegetable market, and all kinds of admiration is heard. Everyone also let go of their reserves, and their full stomachs seemed to be eating again, and many of them directly picked up the plate and pulled it into their mouths. Some of them have finished eating, and they think they have a good relationship, and they even pick up chopsticks and stretch them out to other people's plates.

What a crazy feast.

Calm as Huang Shutong and Xie Qi, pay attention to the political cultivation of "Mount Tai collapses in front and the color remains unchanged", at this time, his face is also full of disbelief, how can he have such a taste that affects emotions and penetrates deep into the bone marrow?

Old Man Wu closed his eyes for the first time, chewed slowly, and savored it. Just like what Lu Fang and a few people felt when they were tasting just now, as a professional chef, the impact on him was even more powerful.

He is nearly eighty years old, but he has a good tooth, and he has not lost a single steel tooth, but he eats very slowly, and Lu Xiaofu's plate next to him has already been pulled, and he is still chewing the first bite slowly. He chewed carefully, did not let go of every fragment, as the chewing continued, he found that it seemed that every piece of shredded potatoes contained infinite flavors, varied, refreshing with profundity, so that he could not extricate himself deeply.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and said:

This dish should only be in the sky, and the world can smell it a few times!
