Want a cook or a son

Chapter 49

There was a moment of silence in the private room, and they were actively thinking about how to evaluate the dishes of the Yu family truthfully without offending the Yu family, but more people were watching the changes and not being the first bird.

At this moment, Hao Qian, who was sitting next to Mr. Cai, said unhurriedly: "I have tasted the dishes made by that Chef Bai. Although there is a distance from those masters who have been famous for many years, objectively speaking, the cooking skills are not bad. .”

Hao Qian is the editor-in-chief of a certain gourmet magazine. In addition to commenting on high-end food, he also recommends snacks from the streets and alleys. Question: "Where did Editor-in-Chief Hao get a taste of Chef Bai's culinary skills?"

"He opened a store online, and my daughter is a fan of his family, so I just tried a little bit, and the taste was okay."

"It's just an online store, and it can't be used on a big stage." Yan Li changed into a comfortable sitting position, thinking about how to slap Hao Qian in the face later.

After a while, the door of the private room was knocked, three or four waiters filed in, wearing uniforms, one person in front was pushing the dining car, with just the right smile on his face, he greeted everyone and then directed the waiters behind serve.

The first ones are all cold dishes, which is the usual rule in restaurants and hotels. There are five small dishes in total, and the quantity is not much. Fortunately, each dish is very delicate.Peanut crispy jelly, duck tongue with secret sauce, black truffle shrimp salad, cold jellyfish shreds and boiled sorrel fish are some common dishes, and there is nothing new about them.

Everyone tasted it, the crispy skin was frozen and refreshing, the duck tongue was fragrant, the salad was refreshing, the jellyfish was silky and chewy, especially the dragon fish, the fresh and sweet fish fillets were paired with a specially prepared sauce, it was very delicious Delicious.

A few people nodded submissively, looking forward to the next main dish, but for Yan Li and others, these cold dishes could only barely satisfy them, and they couldn't make a mistake.

"Editor Hao, judging from these cold dishes, the chef Bai's cooking skills are not amazing, not to mention that there are two five-star chefs in charge of this restaurant, I am afraid that this cold dish is from those two big chefs. Maybe the hand of the chef, the main course of the meeting will not let us down."

Hao Qian didn't answer, just put a piece of snow-white fish fillet into the sauce and rolled it around until the fish fillet was covered with sesame seeds and red sauce before he put it in his mouth with satisfaction, and the salty and fresh taste immediately overflowed In the mouth, with a light bite, the fish meat is smooth and elastic, coupled with the cracked sesame seeds, the fragrance makes the mouth water flow out.

The waiter knocked on the door again shortly after he left, and this time the main course came.

"What's the smell? It smells so good." One of the people at the table twitched his nose, constantly looking for the source of the scent, and the other people in the room also began to float up, fidgeting around, whispering where the scent came from.

It’s no wonder that these old gourmets who are used to gourmet food can’t stand the temptation. It’s really that the fragrance is so tempting, it’s as if there are two hands constantly touching people’s stomachs and noses, making their tongues secrete saliva involuntarily. Very gluttonous.

It didn't take long for the puzzle to be solved. The waiter put a small cup in front of everyone. The small cup made of purple sand was tightly covered, but there was still a scent coming out of the gap, intermittently fluttering Miao Miao aroused the curiosity of the whole table.

Mr. Cai took the lead to lift the lid of the cup, and immediately a fresh fragrance wafted into the nostrils, and the fragrance floating in the air suddenly became a hundred times stronger, making everyone even more impatient, and untied the lid of the cup one after another to see its appearance.

When Yan Li smelled the fragrance, he was stunned for a moment, and then he lifted the lid of the cup as if nothing had happened. He was not as impatient as others, but those who knew him well knew that his actions just now were a little more urgent than before.

This is a small cup of Buddha jumping over the wall. The thick soup is dark brown. Although it is unattractive, it exudes a strong aroma. You can see the ingredients inside when you stir it with the provided spoon, but it is not clear because it is covered with sauce.

Yan Li dug a spoonful and put it into his mouth, his originally calm expression suddenly changed, the delicious taste exploded in his mouth, people were caught off guard, his fine tongue couldn't tell what kind of ingredients it was Combination can burst out such a strong aroma.

Because the soup itself is thick enough, there is no need for ingredients to increase the thickness of the taste. Yan Li can't wait to taste the ingredients in the soup to determine what is in the Buddha Tiaoqiang, but he is reluctant to take a bite Swallow and let the delicious taste disappear from your mouth.

Everyone here has tasted different kinds of Buddha Jumping Wall like Yan Li, but this time the taste is so good that they can't believe it. Soups like Buddha Jumping Wall are the easiest to innovate, and there are countless changes in it according to the different ingredients. However, because the ingredients are too complex, it is easy to mix flavors. It is very difficult to make something new and delicious. Even the old Chen family shop just sticks to the old recipe. Although it is delicious, it is boring. Having such fresh and delicious food in this newly opened restaurant, jumping over the wall for this cup of Buddha, today is a worthwhile trip.

"It's so delicious, what's in it?"

"I tasted it as if it came from Chef Zheng's handicraft, but it didn't look like it. I have eaten the Buddha Jumping Wall made by him at least [-] or [-] times, but none of them tasted like this time."

"That's probably the work of Chef Bai. I tasted it with ham, sea cucumber, tripe, scallops, etc. I couldn't taste it any more."

Everyone regretted that their tongues were out of order, but everyone's movements were not slow at all, and they quickly ate some delicious food in front of them.

Yan Li frowned and thought. He also tasted Chef Zheng’s Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, and guessed the ingredients in it for the first time. Although the taste has improved a lot this time, the previous ingredients should not have changed much, but for some reason The umami taste is more intense and soft, just like subduing the previous overbearing fragrances, unifying them into a more coordinated fragrance.

In addition, the soup is thicker and smoother, which should be caused by the change of the heat. He does not believe that these changes are brought about by Chef Zheng, who has been a Buddha jumping wall for more than 20 years. You must know that the older the skill is, the harder it is to change. Although these changes It is very subtle, but it is the essence of this cup of Buddha jumping over the wall, so there is only one person who brought about this change, and that is Bai Chi.

Thinking of this possibility, Yan Li was in a bad mood. He wanted to slap Hao Qian in the face, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face.Fortunately, Yan Li is not a person with a dirty mind, and he is very open-minded. He adjusted his mentality within a few minutes, and even waited for the next dish with anticipation.

This time, the crispy pork trotters were served. The sauce-red trotters were sprinkled with a layer of white sesame seeds. It was forced out by the high temperature, leaving only a thin layer.

The pig's trotters had been cut into small pieces in advance for diners to eat. After the Buddha jumping over the wall just now, everyone's taste buds were aroused, and they extended their chopsticks to the plate with great interest.

The jelly-like crystal clear pork skin is not as soft and waxy as imagined, but rather crispy. With the soft and elastic lean meat, the taste is too good.

The aroma of burnt and sesame exploded in the mouth at the same time, fat but not greasy, and the soft and springy taste captured a large number of people in an instant. Even Mr. Cai forgot that he had high blood fat and ate two pieces in a row It was only because of his bad teeth that he stopped regretfully.

Not to mention other people, a plate of pig's trotters was divided up in an instant, leaving only an empty oily plate. Save your stomach for the following dishes.

They were completely aroused by these two dishes, waiting eagerly for the third dish.

This time it was baby dish in high soup, with two big meat dishes, this vegetarian dish looked extraordinarily fresh.

The clear soup is neatly packed with light yellow baby vegetables, sprinkled with red wolfberry, the color is very beautiful, as usual, Mr. Cai starts first, and Yan Li tastes the chopsticks, the stems of baby vegetables are crisp and refreshing , the fresh plant aroma is completely preserved, especially after eating pig's trotters, the vegetable leaves are tender and easy to chew, and they are extremely delicious after dipping in the soup.

The soup should be stewed with young chicken, with a light golden color, but there is no impurity in the soup, and the taste is much richer than simple chicken soup, and there should be a little abalone in it.

Even an ordinary high-soup baby dish is so particular, Yan Li is really convinced, he can't help laughing, I'm afraid his hard-to-serve tongue will really be planted in the hands of this little-known head chef Bai.

After tasting three dishes in a row, everyone had already forgotten what they had said about Bai Chi before, and they concentrated on waiting for the next dish.The next dishes are served quickly. The stewed squab with longan is full of aroma, the tomato fish is tender and sour, and even the crystal shrimp is crisper and sweeter than usual.

Mr. Cai carefully scooped up a spoonful of Wensi Tofu with a spoon and asked, "Xiao Yan, is that Chef Bai really only in his twenties as you said?"

"Yes, but I just heard about it, and I haven't seen it myself." Yan Li looked at the Wensi Tofu in the spoon, feeling a little complicated.

"That's right, he's a young man in his 20s, and he's pretty handsome. When he appeared on variety shows with Song Yingdi, my daughter became a fan of Chef Bai because of his face." Hao Qian said with a smile, he Today is considered a good meal, but judging from today's dishes, Chef Bai's cooking skills have improved a lot.

"Sure enough, a hero is born in a young age. This Chef Bai is very young, but his cooking skills are quite good. His knife skills alone can compare to many chefs." Mr. Cai carefully stirred the tofu in the bowl, and the tofu was as fine as ever. Hair-like, floating in the water is very beautiful, it looks fragile but extremely flexible, it melts in the mouth when it is put in the mouth, it has no beany smell, but it is delicious and smooth, just suitable for the elderly like them.

Mr. Cai agreed that the rest of the people naturally did not dare to say anything bad, so they all had to bury their heads in their food, for fear that they would be gone if they put down the chopsticks late, so at the end of the day, everyone looked at the plate that was cleaner than it had been washed. It was a bit embarrassing, it really didn't fit their identities, but when they thought that they were not the only ones who were ashamed, the so-called law does not blame the public, it's no big deal if everyone eats and I follow suit, so I felt relieved.

It is an indisputable fact that the new restaurant is an instant hit. The news about the opening of "Baitang's Small Kitchen" spread like wildfire the next morning. Bai Chi searched the news of the restaurant on the Internet with glowing eyes. The first thing that caused a sensation was Song Yan. Xiu's fans heard that his male god had endorsed a restaurant, and ran around telling each other to post it on various websites, which was even worse than Qin Ruozhi's time.

Next came the food magazines that rushed to report. Almost every food commentator who participated in the opening ceremony gave the new restaurant a high score, and praised every dish. Curiosity reached its peak, and one after another left messages saying that they would go to a restaurant to try it.

Of course, there are also some discordant voices. Some people say that the unanimous praise of food critics must be paid behind the scenes. Can a little-known newly opened restaurant really overwhelm the old Chen family that has been passed down for hundreds of years? Such overwhelming publicity must be false, maybe the Yu family bought a navy to spread public opinion deliberately.

But these discordant voices were quickly suppressed by the fans of the online store. Although the new restaurant has fewer customers and those people seldom go online, the online store has more customers and is aimed at young people. Their combat effectiveness But he is very tough, and he has been dealing with computers all year round, and he broke the public opinion back with just a few words, it couldn't be more powerful.

Bai Chi browsed the webpage happily, and by the way, announced a message on the online store, stating that the online store will not be closed, and future orders will be released, and regular customers will enjoy preferential prices.

As soon as the news came out, many netizens were overjoyed. They thought that the online store would be closed, and the price of the new restaurant was too high. , is really surprising.

Netizens are satisfied, and the news on the Internet is even more lively. The news of the new restaurant is overwhelming.

Bai Chi gave 12 likes to the netizens in his heart, smiling with crooked eyebrows, like a cat that stole a fish, Yu Haoran looked beside him and stole a kiss while others were not paying attention, and then hugged Bai Chi together Browse the webpage, the atmosphere is very warm.

On the other side, the Chen family and the Qin family were turned upside down.
