Chapter 434 Why not have a bite of Li Hongzhang’s chowder
Early the next morning, Wang Hao took his most valuable possession, his mobile phone, to Tai Feng Building under the guidance of Baidu Maps. There was 200 yuan in Alipay that he borrowed from his second father (Note 1) yesterday. Although there was only more than 100 yuan left after a long and rich dinner, Wang Hao was fearless.
Because from today on, his big daddy (same note ①) will be in charge of his food!
If it weren't for the fact that Tai Feng Building doesn't do breakfast business, Wang Hao would even think of getting up at five o'clock and riding a bicycle to Tai Feng Building like he did in his senior year of high school.
I haven’t seen him for a few months, and I don’t know if Uncle Jiang’s skills have improved.
Wang Hao was sitting on the subway, which was not too crowded since it had not reached the morning rush hour. He stared at the navigation on Baidu Maps, admiring it while worrying that he had accidentally passed the station.
As for why it is Baidu Map and not Amap, since the last time Wang Hao used Amap to navigate and the map kept asking him to go straight even though there was a river in front of him, the software has disappeared from his phone forever.
Under the leadership of Baidu Maps, Wang Hao did not go straight to the river. Instead, he got up early and rushed to the late market, starting at seven o'clock and arriving at ten o'clock.
It always ends well, at least he got there.
Wang Hao hesitated when he stood at the door of Tai Feng Building, a retro, tall, independent building that stood in the bustling business district and exuded the smell of money that made me rich all the time.
He felt that his previous guesses were correct.
Brother Feng is definitely the heir to the legendary hidden wealthy family, no, the hidden chef family! He had been unknown before because he had not completed the test given to him by his family. Now that he has completed the test, he will naturally return to Beijing to inherit the family business. In the future, Brother Feng will surely dominate the kitchen world, as long as Brother Feng learns the legendary Jiang Family Star Sword Technique. , he can...
No, how could the heir to a reclusive chef family only inherit one restaurant?
Wang Hao calmly analyzed it for a while and quickly justified himself.
It must be that Brother Feng has not completely completed the family's test for him, yes, that must be the case. Brother Feng had not won the championship in the Good Taste Cooking Competition before, so he failed the test. Tai Feng House was the second test given to Brother Feng by the family. The second test is definitely more difficult than the first test. It may be a task such as making Tai Feng Restaurant the number one restaurant in Peiping.
Just thinking about it this way, Wang Hao felt that the burden on him was extremely heavy.
He, Wang Hao, as Brother Feng's best friend and only roommate, should naturally be obliged to help Brother Feng through the difficulties at this time.
Wang Hao straightened his chest and walked into Taifeng Tower.
Ji Yue, who was walking through the lobby in stilettos in high spirits after a night of training, saw Wang Hao at the first sight.
Wang Hao is her old colleague. When he was at the Healthy Restaurant, Wang Hao often came to help, cleaning and serving dishes. When necessary, he could go to the kitchen to help wash the dishes. He could be called a member of the team. A capable man.
Jiang Feng told Ji Yue last night that Wang Hao was back to help today. When Ji Yue saw that Wang Hao hadn't come so late at first, she thought that he had changed his mind and was going to go shopping in Peiping to seize the time to play around. He didn't expect that Wang Hao could not come. It’s really here.
"Wang Hao!" Ji Yue stepped on stilettos and ran towards Wang Hao, "You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"The road is unfamiliar. It took me a long time, otherwise I would have arrived earlier." Ji Yue's reaction further verified Wang Hao's guess. He knew that he was very important to Brother Feng!
"I'll get you clothes, you wait here." Ji Yue went to the front desk to get the clothes she had prepared for Wang Hao, handed them to Wang Hao, and said: "Fortunately you are here, second floor The male waiter in Private Room 17 was walking up the stairs while playing with his mobile phone last night. He missed his step and is still lying in the hospital. We originally planned to send a waiter from the first floor to go up, but luckily you came."
Wang Hao:? ? ?
The plot was a little different from what he imagined.
"Why not transfer from the first floor?" Wang Hao asked.
"It's not very convenient." Ji Yue lowered her voice and said, "Last week, Aunt Wang accepted a dozen hotel service management interns from a university. The conditions are good, but they are a bit too ambitious and don't like the lobby positions. We are scrambling to get to the private room upstairs. No matter how good the conditions are, we cannot let the interns go to the private room. Now. It's the National Day store and it's already extremely busy. It's better to do less than to do more. If someone is transferred directly from the lobby, it might cause a lot of trouble. You can help cover the shift for a few days. That’s fine. A dedicated waiter will deliver the dishes to the window. If you have any questions, just call me.”
Wang Hao felt that he seemed a little more important again.
Wang Hao took his clothes and went to the dressing room to change. Wang Hao, the new temporary waiter in Box 17 on the second floor of Tai Feng Building, officially took up his post.
Temporary worker Wang Hao is still a little nervous.
He is experienced as a waiter. As a patient who is severely short of money all year round, Wang Haohan often works part-time during summer vacation to earn some pocket money. When I can't find a tutor, I will work part-time as a waiter in some hotels in City A. I usually only work for one or two days and pay per day. I work in the lobby carrying dishes for more than ten yuan an hour and take care of two meals.
This was his first time as a box attendant.
It’s all thanks to Brother Feng!
Wang Hao sighed.
After sighing for a while, Wang Hao suddenly realized, wait a minute, Brother Feng seems to only care about food and not money.
Wang Hao planned to eat more at noon to get back the money squeezed by the capitalist Jiang Feng.
Capitalist Jiang Feng was in the back kitchen closely observing the heat of Li Hongzhang's chowder.
With Jiang Jianguo's help, Jiang Feng felt much more relaxed today. He could even find opportunities from time to time to claim the ownership rights of Moyu Holy Land with his father, Jiang Jiankang. If it weren't for the fact that Li Hongzhang's chowder was about to come out of the pot, Jiang Feng felt that he could fish for a while longer.
Ji Xia is observing Li Hongzhang's chowder with Jiang Feng.
After this period of feeding the Jiang family's food, Ji Xia's mouth was also fed a little bit more. As she gained more knowledge, her horizons naturally broadened. She no longer only pursued meat, but began to pursue higher-level pursuits.
Ji Xia is now pursuing delicious meat.
For example, Li Hongzhang's chowder.
Every day Ji Xia could see Jiang Feng making 6 portions of shredded yam, 3 portions of pure meat wontons, and many other dishes. Even pickled vegetable dumplings, sometimes Jiang Feng could make several portions a day, but Li Hongzhang only made one portion a day of chowder, which was a bit It’s not time to do it yet.
Ji Xia really doesn't understand how good Li Hongzhang's chowder is. It's large and beautiful. The vegetables and meat are all very healthy at first glance. Or is it stewed in chicken soup and smells delicious? Why doesn't anyone order such a great dish?
Master, too, only cooks such a great dish once a day. If you find it troublesome, Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon and Crab Stuffed Orange are much more troublesome than Li Hongzhang's chowder. Master, wouldn't he still make many portions every day?
Ji Xia stared at Li Hongzhang's chowder in front of him, his eyes filled with desire to eat.
It must be delicious!
"Xia Xia, what time did the guests who ordered Li Hongzhang's chowder order?" Jiang Feng asked.
"It's half past eleven," Ji Xia said.
"It's almost time." Jiang Feng turned off the fire and began to arrange the dishes.
While arranging the dishes, teaching at the same time.
"Look, Xia Xia, there are no fixed requirements for the presentation of this dish. It all depends on our feelings. For example, in this Li Hongzhang chowder, the colors of each ingredient are different. If you classify the ingredients one by one by color like me, Layer it up around the net, and when it is turned upside down, it will be very layered. The colors should be gradual, like gradient colors, otherwise it will be very abrupt when diners look at it. "Jiang Feng said with his hands. Doing it.
Ji Xia watched from the side, drooling in her heart.
Coding ingredients is a meticulous job. You have to consider not only the color but also the shape and size of the ingredients. Jiang Feng slowly added layer by layer, just like the petals of a rose blooming layer by layer, layer by layer, eye-catching.
Jiang Feng worked like this for nearly ten minutes, pouring the chopped ingredients on top, pouring the original soup, and steaming it in the steamer.
"Many dishes, especially large dishes like this, need to go through several processes, and may even require repeated processes to be cooked repeatedly before they can taste. Therefore, you should not be in a hurry when cooking, and you should not be too troublesome. If there is a problem in any step, the whole dish will be complete. The taste may not be the same, don’t be afraid of waiting for good food. If you want to be a good chef, whether it is red case or white case, especially white case, you must first be patient," Jiang Feng said.
Ji Xia nodded on the side, indicating that he remembered.
"This will be ready after another ten minutes of steaming. Just watch here and see if you can see anything. I'll go deal with other things first." After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he went to deal with the Eight-treasure Chestnut Pigeon. .
Ji Xia was standing by the pot. She couldn't see anything with the lid on, but she could smell it.
This dish is sure to be delicious!
The closer I smell it, the more delicious it becomes. The chicken soup is particularly fragrant!
Ten minutes later, Li Hongzhang's chowder was served.
Jiang Feng arranged the plate for the last time, then poured the gravy thickened with rice soup and original soup on top of Li Hongzhang's chowder, and finally poured it with cooked lard. In an instant, the dish was fragrant, and it was very impressive even in the kitchen. eyeball.
Who would have thought that such a delicious, tasty dish would make everyone who eats it so moved that they burst into tears?
"Xia Xia, go and ask if the people in Box 17 have arrived?" Jiang Feng said. The cooking time was earlier than expected. It was only 11:17 now. Jiang Feng was worried that the guests hadn't arrived yet.
Ji Xia quickly ran to ask.
Ji Xia came back within two minutes: "Master, we're here. It seems that there are quite a lot of people here. I've asked Sister Xiaohui to ask if the food can be served."
In Private Room 17, 996 was a little nervous.
He deeply felt that there was something wrong with these people.
The appointment was clearly made at 11:30. In this era of rampant doves, it is extremely rare not to be late. But instead of being late, this group of people all arrived so early.
He was actually the last to arrive!
You know, it was only 11:15 when he arrived!
He arrived early!
996 looked around nervously.
Everyone is tired. At first glance, they are the same social animals as themselves, maybe they are also 996 overtime dogs, or even worse. But everyone was excited, and it was an unusual kind of excitement. It didn’t feel like the excitement of a vacation, or the excitement of a promotion or salary increase, but the excitement of scolding the leader and beating up the customers.
996 glanced at the waiter at the door again.
This waiter is also very different.
The other waiters in this restaurant are either young and beautiful ladies or handsome young men. There is also one who is generally handsome but is pleasing to the eye at a glance.
Only this one is average-looking, a little fat, and a little dark. No matter how you look at it, he is different from the other waiters in this store. He is simply out of place.
996 thought of a lot.
He thought about the news he had seen before.
A man met with an online friend he had never met before, and found a corpse in the wilderness the next day.
A man met an online friend he had never met before and found out the next day that he was missing a kidney.
A man met an online friend he had never met before, and never heard from him again.
996 wants to leave.
Just when he was about to stand up and say, "Oh, my boss just sent me a message asking me to fix the bug and I have to work overtime. Sorry, I'll go first." The door opened.
A young and beautiful waiter walked in and asked: "Sorry to bother you, can the food be served now? Li Hongzhang's chowder kitchen has been prepared."
"Let's serve." Li Hongzhang, the initiator of this party, said.
996 was horrified to find that everyone present was getting excited.
He felt that there was no difference between this private room and the scenes in horror movies. Even the bright lights became dim in his eyes. People next to him picked up their mobile phones as a hint. The waiter at the door raised his phone once. The head is just signaling.
996 picked up the phone with some trembling, wanting to question his colleagues who were in this group.
The food is served.
Wang Hao, who had been wandering around the door thinking about how to write promotional copy, immediately cheered up and went to the window to serve the food. One side, oh, the weight is quite heavy.
As expected, it is indeed the shop opened by Uncle Jiang.
996 looked at the dish in Wang Hao's hand.
Uncover.
996 was stunned.
nice.
Still fragrant.
You can tell it's delicious just by looking at it and smelling it.
996 was brought back to reality, and the lights in the box became bright again.
"Let's get started!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone moved their chopsticks, and 996 was one of them, picking up a pigeon egg that was surrounded by the edge of the soup basin.
At the entrance, 996's eyes lit up.
When he picked it up, he thought it was quail eggs. He didn't expect that the taste in the mouth was not very similar to quail eggs, but the deliciousness cannot be faked. 996, who has been living off the rice bowls under the company building for many years, has never eaten such delicious pigeon eggs. .
Even if he didn't know it was a pigeon egg, it didn't stop him from thinking the egg was delicious.
It’s even more delicious than the tea eggs made by his grandma!
996 was just about to pick up the second chopstick when tears burst out from his eyes.
Not out of sadness, but to vent.
He was obviously crying, but he was very relaxed, as if he wanted to vent all the pain and depression accumulated for many years through tears at this moment.
The pain of working overtime, the pain of writing programs, the pain of fixing bugs, the pain of taking the blame for a bug that I clearly didn’t write because I asked for leave, the pain of not having colleagues who have resigned and customers coming to me, and no one to blame.
All the negative emotions left his body with tears at this moment.
He is obviously crying, but he is very happy.
Unprecedented pleasure.
I just want to cry a few more times, and cry so happily and heartily a few more times.
The entire box burst into tears.
Everyone was crying loudly and unabashedly, with tears streaming down their faces. The box of tissue paper placed on the dining table was no longer enough. The experienced diners had brought their own tissue paper. Newcomers like 996 only had I can borrow the tissue paper from the person next to me.
Wang Hao was already dumbfounded.
This group of people...
Are you crazy?
Is Brother Feng’s restaurant so exciting?
