Chapter 102: The Lion's Head is also divided into four seasons
After serving three dishes, there was another wait, but with the first three dishes paving, the waiting at this time was full of anticipation, just because of the anticipation, the waiting became more difficult.
Lin Youqi could only chat with Su Jinrong: "Brother Su, you Su Ji have been a bit low-key over the years. ”
Su Jinrong smiled and nodded: "I don't want to, it's too hard." ”
Jiang Zhongjian shook his head and said: "Brother Su, this is not right for you, how can we say that the dishes in Huaicheng are also treasures of the state banquet, how can they be obscure? Not to mention Su Ji's low profile, but some deceptives and thieves have a chance to take advantage of it." ”
Feng Yifan's three dishes have already preliminarily convinced Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian.
Maybe the two of them were very moved by Su Lanxin's proposal in their hearts, but they now have more trust in Su Ji and Feng Yifan's craftsmanship.
So at this time, even in front of Su Lanxin, the two of them were still very straightforward, indicating their expectations for Su Ji now, or should I say, Feng Yifan.
Seeing that Su Jinrong didn't speak, Jiang Zhongjian continued: "Over the years, the name of our Huaicheng cuisine has indeed become more and more famous, but there are not many chefs who can really make it and do it well." ”
Lin Youqi sighed and said: "Good cooks, they have all gone to other places, such as Yangcheng, more of them either go south to Suzhou and Hangzhou, or go north, but it makes our Huaicheng catering industry slightly decay." ”
The two people from the catering association have a better understanding of the dilemma of the traditional catering industry in Huaicheng today.
The main reason is that there are fewer and fewer chefs who can make classic flavors, and most of them will choose to develop in more developed cities driven by the pursuit of fame and fortune, so it also leads to the poverty of local chefs.
Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian listened to Su Lanxin's words, and the reason why they were moved was because they hoped that Su Lanxin would help Huaicheng develop and promote local food culture.
After eating Feng Yifan's three dishes, the two of them had a more intuitive understanding of Feng Yifan's craftsmanship, but they were looking forward to Su Jinrong letting Su Ji stand up and let Feng Yifan take Su Ji to become the leader of the Huaicheng catering industry.
Su Jinrong probably understood what the two meant, smiled indifferently and said, "Su Ji is very small, and he still likes to be comfortable." ”
Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian looked at each other, still a little disappointed in Su Jinrong's words.
Su Lanxin heard the words of the eldest brother, and saw the disappointed expressions of the two people in the catering association, but she was very satisfied in her heart, and seemed to feel that the meal needed to be effective.
However, just when Su Lanxin was secretly happy, Feng Yifan walked out with five small cups on a tray.
Placing a small cup in front of everyone, Feng Yifan did not leave in a hurry this time, but asked with a smile: "A few people, the peacock just now, have you eaten any dishes?"
Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and shook their heads together to say that they didn't know.
Tan Xueli was not as arrogant as before at this time, and she could only shake her head to indicate that she was not able to eat it.
Before Su Lanxin was about to speak, Feng Ruoruo suddenly poked her little head out from behind her grandfather and said, "You guys are so stupid, this peacock is obviously made of carrots by Dad." ”
Listening to Feng Ruoruo's words, everyone present was stunned at first, but then Su Jinrong and Lin Youqi laughed together.
Lin Youqi said to Su Jinrong while laughing: "Brother Su, your granddaughter is really a little person, hahaha, that's right, we are all stupid, isn't this peacock head carved from carrots?"
As soon as Lin Youqi said it, everyone understood, and even Su Lanxin couldn't help laughing this time.
Feng Ruoruo saw everyone laughing, and shyly hid behind her grandfather's wheelchair.
Feng Yifan stretched out his hand and pulled his daughter and said, "Don't hide, if what you said is right, the peacock head is indeed made of carrots by Dad, if you answer correctly, why hide it?"
With the encouragement of her father, the little girl walked out of the back of the wheelchair, and at this moment Feng Ruoruo was really confident and proud.
Su Lanxin watched the father and daughter interact, and there was a hint of envy in her eyes.
But then, the look of envy was well concealed by Su Lanxin, and then she pointed to the peacock's tail on the plate and said, "I really didn't expect that you would dare to stir-fry with winter cold vegetables, and you also skillfully removed the bitter taste." ”
Hearing what Su Lanxin said, Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian were also suddenly stunned, and they looked carefully again and found that it was really true.
Feng Yifan smiled slightly, didn't say much nonsense, and pointed to the small cup in front of everyone on the table: "Okay, this lion head, please continue to taste, and I will make the last Wensi tofu." ”
Feng Yifan didn't linger and turned to leave, but the people present were not so eager to uncover the cup, after all, lion heads are very common in Huaicheng.
Su Lanxin opened her mouth and asked, "President Lin, Director Jiang, do you know the attention in this lion's head?"
The two looked at each other, and then Lin Youqi said, "Exquisite? ”
Su Lanxin continued: "The dish of lion's head can be said to be well-known, and during the time I came back, I also tasted this dish in a well-known restaurant in Huaicheng, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed. ”
Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian were still a little surprised by these words, and if they wanted to say that other dishes would be disappointed, the two might not have too many objections.
But if you want to talk about this lion's head, this is a housekeeping dish, no matter how bad the chefs of those well-known restaurants in Huaicheng are, it is impossible to smash this dish, right?
Su Lanxin continued: "Don't you two know that this lion's head still has the four flavors of the four seasons?"
"Four seasons and four flavors?"
Don't say it's Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian, even Tan Xueli, who has studied with Su Lanxin for a few years, is a little surprised when she hears this.
Because you haven't heard of this at all.
However, Su Jinrong was not surprised, as the person in charge of Su Ji, he still knew very well the meaning of his sister's four seasons and four flavors.
Seeing that several people were surprised, Su Lanxin smiled and said to her brother: "Big brother, it seems that not many people really know about it." ”
Su Jinrong sighed and shook his head.
Su Lanxin said: "The four seasons of the lion's head mean that the dishes presented by the lion's head in the four seasons are different, and it is not just the lion's head in the clear soup or the lion's head in crab roe can be generalized. ”
Lin Youqi hesitated for a moment and asked, "So, how are the four seasons presented?"
Su Lanxin smiled indifferently and said: "The river mussels are braised in spring, and the lotus leaves are steamed in summer......"
When Su Jinrong heard this, he also opened his mouth and continued: "Autumn crab powder, stewed, winter phoenix chicken, stewed." ”
After listening to the introduction of the two old brothers and sisters, Lin Youqi and Jiang Zhongjian were really stunned, if it weren't for the Su family, they really had never heard of such a set of four lion head practices for the four seasons.
After Su Lanxin finished speaking, she pointed to the small cup in front of her and said, "Big brother, now it should be regarded as a spring and summer, I don't know what kind of lion head your son-in-law will present to us?"
With that, Su Lanxin stretched out her hand and opened the small cup in front of her.
The moment the cup was revealed, everyone at the table was stunned again.
Everyone else couldn't wait to uncover the small cup in front of them, and then stared at the lion's head in the small cup in front of them, all of them with round eyes, and their whole faces were full of incredulity.
Feng Ruoruo once again poked her head out from behind her grandfather's wheelchair and looked into the small cup on the table.
"Wow, grandpa, it's a lotus, you look good. ”
In the small cup, there is no trace of oil in the soup, and in the soup is a white and tender lion's head that seems to be shaking slightly. The most amazing thing is that the lion's head is surrounded by two white and tender river mussels, and at the same time, there is a green lotus leaf on the bottom.
