Chapter 242 Membership Card
Who cuts the cannonball, that's a big question.
The people sitting here are all reporters, and they are best at making up stories, writing gossip, making things out of thin air, and forcing the word count down. Most people can't even tell the difference between dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, let alone their knife skills. As long as they can cut off, they are considered good at knife skills.
Reporter Hu looked around, but no one dared to respond.
"Ask the waiter to cut it." A reporter suggested.
Everyone agreed. Reporter Hu raised his hand and said to Ji Yue: "Waiter, please cut the cannonball into pieces."
There were two reporters' tables. Ji Yue came over and asked, "Can I cut both portions of cannonball?"
Reporter Hu looked at the other table. The other reporters had no objections and nodded: "Yes, all right."
"Okay, please step aside." Ji Yue picked up the knife and cut open the pig's belly with one stroke. The steps were almost exactly the same as Tong Deyan's. The movements were clean and neat, and the knife was cut quickly without hesitation.
The cannonballs Jiang Weiming has been trying to make in the past few days were all cut by Ji Yue. Having eaten them himself, Ji Yue naturally knows which part has the fattest and tenderest meat, which part has the most delicate meat, and which part has the most flavor. With a smooth flow, he divided a whole cannonball in three strokes, five divisions, and two divisions.
Ji Yue's actions attracted the attention of some chefs. While eating the Huadiao Chicken in her mouth, she still found time to talk to the person next to her: "That waiter is very good at knife skills. He seems to be the one who was very strong in serving porridge before."
"Which one?" The person next to him quickly grabbed a piece of fat and tender leg meat from the casserole, and then looked up, "Oh, um, she cut the cannonball on that table? Her knife skills are not bad, it's a pity not to be a cook. ”
Everyone sitting here had heard about the news that Ji Xue could make flower-carved chickens on earthenware altars, but it was just hearsay. No one believed it until they saw it with their own eyes. After all, even Master Tan’s granddaughter didn’t know how to cook this dish. Suddenly, a little girl who had never heard of it made it at a food competition. Most people who only believed that seeing is believing dismissed it as a rumor.
Now that they have seen it with their own eyes, many of Master Tan's loyal diners have tears in their eyes.
Pei Shenghua was very proud: "I told you a long time ago that when I was a judge, I met a little girl who knew how to make flower-carved chickens for ceramic tiles. I even posted it on WeChat Moments, but none of you seemed to have any reaction!"< br>
The others nodded perfunctorily.
Zhu Chang couldn't bear to tell him that everyone here had basically blocked his circle of friends. Who told him to post useless nonsense all day long and like to spread poison late at night. Based on this calculation, it seems that Tong Deyan is the only one at this table who has not blocked his circle of friends.
Lao Tong is a kind man!
After drinking and eating, everyone came back to their senses and looked at the time and found that it was already past 1 o'clock.
It’s been a long time since we had such a peaceful meal. We chatted with old friends while tasting the delicious food. We only ate the food without drinking. We ate slowly and savored the food. There wasn’t much food, but it was just right.
"Let's go, I can still make it back in time for my three o'clock flight!" An old gourmet said with a smile, "Sure enough, Mr. Xu has a good taste. It's absolutely right to eat with him."
"Xu Lun, why are you in such a hurry? It's rare for us to get together. I also want to take you to my house in the evening to see my bottle of fine wine." Another gourmet stopped him.
"Let's give it another day. I have to pick up my grandson after his interest class in the afternoon. It's hard for children now. They have to attend Mathematical Olympiad classes on weekends. I'll go to your house next week to taste the fine wine you have collected!" Xu Lun laughed.
"Next week?"
Xu Lun has already left. After all, he is in a hurry, but he is not walking towards the door, but towards the waiter, who is Ji Yue. During the meal just now, everyone could tell that Ji Yue was probably the foreman among the waiters.
"Are there any requirements for ordering the Huadiao Chicken and Cannonball in your store?" Xu Lun asked.
"There are no requirements. Cannonball needs to be booked 3 days in advance, and Watan Huadiao Chicken needs to be booked 1 day in advance. Our store only accepts bookings within 7 days, and members can make priority bookings." Ji Yue said with a smile, taking Xu Lun to the cashier. Take the stage.
"Oh? How to apply for membership?" Xu Lun is very experienced in handling membership matters.
"You can become an ordinary member by recharging 1,000 yuan, and you can become a senior member by recharging 30,000 yuan. Now the new store is open. The more you charge, the more you get. You can go to the front with me to see the specific discounts. Ordinary members can enjoy special birthday meals and drinks for 9 Discount privileges. Premium members can enjoy special birthday meals, 20% off drinks, priority tasting of new products, priority seat reservation, priority reservation of dishes, etc." Ji Yue said.
Xu Lun took out his bank card and said very skillfully: "Sign up as a senior member first, reserve a private room for ten people next Friday, and reserve a set of Huadiao Chicken and Cannonball."
"Okay."
Before the diners at the same table with Xu Lun could react, they saw Xu Lun going to Ji Yue with a strange look on his face: "Isn't Xu Lun going to catch a flight? He... this old boy deserves to die!"
The diners stood up immediately and walked to the cashier.
"He was so startled that he... damn it!" The people around him followed closely.
"How could he...these two guys!" Another one reacted.
The diners who reacted quickly went to make membership reservations for dishes.
"Mr. Xu isn't going to make an appointment?" Pei Shenghua was also about to leave, but when he saw that Xu Cheng was still sitting in his seat drinking tea, he asked.
"I made an appointment a long time ago." Xu Cheng drank tea silently, hiding his merit and fame.
He and Han Guishan had already arranged things like membership cards. Xu Cheng was thinking in his mind while drinking tea. He took some time to go to Hangzhou in the past few days to complete Guli's special interview. He hadn't been to Hangzhou for a while, and he still missed the food there.
Hand-shredded red clay chicken, West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo pork, Hangzhou shredded chicken, Hangzhou three delicacies, Longjing shrimp...
Hey, I’m getting older and can’t eat anything too greasy, so I’ll just eat two less pieces of Dongpo Pork.
"Master Xia, I'm leaving first." Xu Cheng said.
Xia Mubing nodded slightly at him. When he saw Zhang Guanghang coming out, he stood up holding the edge of the table and said, "It's time for me to go too."
"Master, I will take you back to the hospital." Zhang Guanghang supported Xia Mubing.
"Instead of going to the hospital, go back to Fenyuan. Ask Xiaohou to pack up all my things and send them back to Fenyuan. Hold the jar carefully and don't bump it." Xia Mubing said, tilting his head and seeing the two things on the plate. No one moved their chopsticks to the chicken wrapped in vegetables, pointing to the chicken wrapped in vegetables, "Pack that up."
"Ah?" Zhang Guanghang didn't react.
"Okay." Zhang Guanghang saw the vegetable-wrapped chicken with only one bite on Xia Mubing's plate, "I'll get the packaging box."
Zhang Guanghang went to get the packing box, which caused a lot of exclamations along the way.
"Oh my God, is he the chef in this restaurant?"
"It seems like, look, he's still wearing a chef's uniform!"
"Oh my god, which country is he from? Is he of mixed race? He's so handsome. Oh my God, look at the bridge of his nose, look at his eyes. Oh my god, I can't breathe. How could he be there? Such a handsome man! ”
"Yanyan, look, look at that handsome guy!"
Not only the ordinary guests, but also the reporters who were accustomed to seeing big waves were shocked by Zhang Guanghang's face, height and long legs. For a moment, they felt that what they were writing might not be the news about the opening of a restaurant, but the news about the debut of a handsome guy in the European and American entertainment industry.
"Is he the chef at Tai Fung House?" a reporter asked curiously.
"It seems so." The others couldn't be sure.
"Reporter Hu, if we put his photo on the first page, this article will definitely be popular!" Cameraman Tang was excited, holding the machine in his hand and always ready, "No matter what the title is, it will be popular, and the click-through rate will be guaranteed. Super high!”
Cameraman Tang first worked in Gossip Weekly. Later, that Gossip Weekly was sued by countless celebrities for rectification and bankruptcy because of too many rumors. Xiao Tang then found another way out and followed Reporter Hu to travel around for news.
Fang Mei came over and gave the reporters red envelopes, hoping that they could write the article well. Unexpectedly, when she came over with the red envelopes, she saw such a scene.
Everyone was staring at Zhang Guanghang, just like a hunter watching his prey. Zhang Guanghang was packing vegetables and chicken in a packing box as if nothing had happened.
"Journalist Hu, I have really worked hard for you today, and I would like to ask you to go back and put more thought into the manuscript." Fang Mei smiled and gave the red envelope to Reporter Hu, who accepted it skillfully.
"Editor Xiao, I would like to trouble you to come in person today. I am really lucky for you!"
"Reporter Fu, thank you so much for coming. It's just a little thought, but it's troublesome..."
"Reporter Huang, we met last time, just..."
Fang Mei has professional skills worthy of her salary. She is well-rounded and every reporter can name her. The red envelopes in her hands have been stuffed, but the reporters have no intention of leaving.
"That's right, room manager, we feel that since Tai Feng Building is a new store opening, the chef in the back kitchen should also mention it. It's inconvenient for you to see." Editor Xiao was the first to speak.
Fang Mei looked at Zhang Guanghang's face and understood instantly.
"Of course it is convenient, but our Chef Zhang needs to send Mr. Xia back first. It may take some time to come back. I wonder if you have time..."
“Absolutely no problem in terms of time!”
"Could this chef's surname be Zhang, the chef Zhang Guanghang on the menu?"
"Manager, why don't you tell us about Chef Zhang? He doesn't look much like him..." (End of Chapter)
