Chapter 755 Oolong
When Jiang Feng, Lu Sheng and Peng Changping walked into the box together, everyone stared at them. Even Chef Arnold quickly shifted his gaze to them.
What made Jiang Feng feel a little uncomfortable was that he felt that Chef Arnold stared at him longer than he stared at Peng Changping. Chef Arnold's eyes switched back and forth between him and Peng Changping. When Jiang Feng began to try to meet Chef Arnold's eyes and observe his eyes and expression carefully, he found that his eyes were not as hostile and offensive as he had thought before.
On the contrary, it was with determination and satisfaction.
It was as if he saw something that satisfied him, and even made him feel a little happy.
Chef Arnold is indeed a mysterious man.
The other people looked at the three of them with more uniform eyes, and SOS was written in everyone's eyes. In their opinion, Chef Arnold came uninvited, Jiang Feng and Lu Sheng escaped one after another, and now they directly dragged Peng Changping over. They must have found the most powerful person to deal with this uninvited guest.
Then everyone watched Peng Changping smile at Chef Arnold, and Chef Arnold nodded to Peng Changping, just like a normal friend. Peng Changping walked straight towards Chef Arnold, sat next to him, and started talking to him in English very naturally.
"When did you come?" Peng Changping asked.
"Just arrived." Chef Arnold said.
"Have you seen the little apprentice I am planning to take on? What do you think?" Peng Changping couldn't wait to show off. It was too difficult for him to show off to someone he knew when he took on a little apprentice.
Chef Arnold's expression was a little complicated, a little unhappy and a little happy. This kind of extremely contradictory expression was simply not something that could appear on a human face.
"It's not bad." Chef Arnold's happiness overcame his discomfort when he said this.
Although Peng Changping thought Chef Arnold's expression was a bit weird, he wasn't very familiar with Chef Arnold, they just talked to each other. He felt that he might be unable to control his expression well, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
The door opened, and five waiters came in carrying five plates of dishes, and placed the dishes firmly on the table in order. Because the boss and big customers were all present, everyone managed their expressions very well. Although they had distant but friendly smiles on their faces, they acted appropriately and uniformly without making any noise. After the dishes were served and the names of the dishes were introduced, they left. , Never drag your feet in an attempt to add drama to yourself.
"Spiced fish."
“Braised shark fin.”
"Phoenix Egg."
“Braised fish maw with crab fillet.”
"Emerald Double Vegetable."
The five dishes that were served first, except for the braised shark's fin, five-spice fish and phoenix eggs, were all things Jiang Feng had never seen before. Among them, the phoenix eggs had been seen in his memory. Jiang Feng has long heard that Yongheju has an extremely rich hidden menu. Even if there are many dishes that are not on the menu, as long as regular diners have the connections and experience, they can still order these hidden dishes when they invite the chef to their door. However, Yongheju's chef may not come to the door once or twice a year, and Jiang Feng has never seen him even though he has gone inside.
Jiang Feng has never seen it, but it doesn't mean that Xu Cheng has never seen it.
"Phoenix eggs, I feel like I haven't seen this dish for many years." Xu Cheng was surprised when he saw the phoenix eggs. If Peng Changping hadn't said anything and didn't move his chopsticks, one of the phoenix eggs might have fallen into his bowl. .
"There are a lot of dishes today, and everyone is here to attend my apprenticeship banquet because my friends are giving me face. When serving the dishes, I don't pay attention to the order. Serve them when they are ready. I hope everyone won't be offended. Don't be stunned. The food will be cold if it's cooked. Don't wait for good food. Eat it quickly," Peng Changping said.
Everyone moved their chopsticks one after another.
Jiang Feng had been thinking about the phoenix egg for a long time. As expected, his chopsticks and Xu Cheng's chopsticks met on the same top-grade phoenix egg with tender and attractive skin that looked like elastic and breakable skin.
This is undoubtedly a good egg.
Jiang Feng and Xu Cheng looked at each other, and for just a moment, Jiang Feng used his Jiang family's instinct to grab food at the dinner table and struck first. He didn't even give Xu Cheng time to react, and picked up the food quickly, accurately and naturally. The phoenix egg that they all took a fancy to at the same time put it directly into their mouths without even putting it in the bowl.
Xu Cheng:? ? ?
Jiang Feng took a bite of the phoenix egg.
burst.
As soon as his tongue touched the egg skin on the surface, his teeth had already bitten the dumpling open. The juice tightly wrapped in the fish ball splashed in his mouth. The warm and even hot seafood-flavored juice burned Jiang Feng's tongue. Shrinking, he almost couldn't help but spit out the dumplings subconsciously.
Fortunately he held back.
This dumpling is small, but rich in ingredients. The outermost layer is fish balls made of hammered fish meat, and the inside is filled with a mixture of diced cuttlefish and diced bamboo shoots, as well as a whole fresh shrimp. I don’t know. What cooking method was used? The juice is very abundant and it completely tastes like the sea.
It's such a small egg, but it actually contains so many ingredients. It's worthy of being called a phoenix egg.
There were only a dozen phoenix eggs on a plate, not many. Jiang Feng calculated that one was just right for each person, so he didn't use his chopsticks to eat other dishes.
When Chef Arnold saw that Jiang Feng and Xu Cheng were holding phoenix eggs with their chopsticks, they also picked one up. It has to be said that Chef Arnold, as an orthodox American, uses chopsticks very well and holds them firmly. The hit hit the target without any clumsiness.
Then Chef Arnold also got burned.
Although he hid it well, Jiang Feng still saw it.
"Fengfeng, Chef Arnold has been watching you." Wu Minqi reminded in a low voice.
In fact, Jiang Feng had noticed it a long time ago because he had been watching Chef Arnold.
"I feel like he didn't pay much attention to Zhou Shi." Wu Minqi continued.
Jiang Feng nodded in agreement. Logically speaking, the protagonist of this apprenticeship banquet should be Zhou Shi. After all, he was the lucky one who was accepted as a disciple. As a result, everyone was paying attention to Chef Arnold because of Chef Arnold's intrusion, and Chef Arnold kept staring at himself, and no one paid attention to Zhou Shi at all.
Zhou Shi was also used to not being noticed, eating quietly without saying a word.
27 dishes, a normal table will never be able to fit so many dishes.
Everyone is eating as they go, and eating as they go. The more famous dishes that are delicious at first sight are braised shark fin, Luohan prawns, and sunflower duck. They can be taken away after just one turn on the table. Dishes such as blood swallow stewed in clear soup are also served on the table as a CD.
Everyone couldn't finish the last few dishes.
It’s not that the food isn’t delicious, it’s just that there are too many.
Except for the two warriors Han Guishan and Ji Xia, everyone else could basically just put their chopsticks down with regretful expressions, find a comfortable position to slump, and stare at the remaining dishes on the table. Occasionally, they must have the courage to sit up straight and pick up a dish. After taking one bite with the chopsticks, he returned to his previous paralyzed state.
When Ji Xia first started eating, he would ask in a very explorative way what the dish was made of and why it was so delicious. After eating, he might find that he couldn’t remember it even if he asked, and even if he remembered, Ji Xia wouldn’t be able to remember it. He stopped asking and just immersed himself in eating like Han Guishan. Since he was still growing and could eat more, he should eat more. Soon he was on par with Han Guishan in terms of appetite.
It was probably the first time that Han Guishan met his opponent at the dinner table. The opponent was a tall girl, and his competitive spirit was immediately aroused. At first, Han Guishan would care about how much his son had eaten and helped Han Youxin pick up the food. Later, he simply forgot about his son - mainly because his son was also full, and immersed himself in competing with Ji Xia for the throne of who is the best eater today.
The second half of the meal was basically spent watching Han Guishan and Ji Xia eat.
It stands to reason that Chef Arnold, who was born and raised in the United States of America, is in his prime and is No. 1 on the list of wasted food. He should also have the potential to compete for the championship. After all, he is a strong man who looks to be able to compete with the Jiang family. eat. I don't know if it was because he liked to keep healthy or because he couldn't eat today. Chef Arnold quit the battlefield early and looked down at his mobile phone like every young man participating in a boring meal.
After Ji Xia finally couldn't eat anymore and Han Guishan narrowly defeated him, the eating part came to an end.
The point of the apprenticeship banquet is never about eating.
Take Jiang Feng's apprenticeship last year as an example. Although no one involved had a bite of food from beginning to end, the apprenticeship was considered a success. Because there are all the necessary steps, including serving tea, drinking tea and accepting disciples, there is no missing step in the process.
Zhou Shi hasn't served tea yet.
If Peng Changping wanted to accept disciples when he was young, it would have been very grand. Not only would he have invited hundreds and eighty people to hold a banquet, but he would also have had someone like a master of ceremonies preside over the final tea ceremony and the acceptance of disciples. Today is different from the past. Peng Changping no longer likes such big scenes. Although he has not accepted a disciple for many years, he knows the steps of accepting a disciple. He is completely different from Jiang Feng who was a little nervous about accepting a disciple for the first time and when the disciple served tea. .
Peng Changping gave Lu Sheng a look.
Lu Sheng understood immediately and ordered the waiter outside to quickly remove the empty plates and serve refreshments and fruits. In the confused eyes of several guests, headed by Han Guishan, who did not understand the link and thought they were going to have another round, Zhou Shi stood got up.
He finally became the focus of the audience.
Finally, someone discovered that the clothes he wore today were very formal. It was an improved suit similar to a long gown but simpler and more convenient to wear.
This is definitely not what a supporting character should wear. Chef Arnold, who had been staring at Jiang Feng, was finally willing to turn his attention to Zhou Shi. When he obviously hadn't reacted yet and looked at Zhou Shi doubtfully, the real apprenticeship banquet finally came. here we go.
Serve tea.
It’s a small venue, even a little simple and crude. Just at the dinner table, Zhou Shi stood up, moved his chair, bent down, and handed the tea to Peng Changping respectfully.
Peng Changping took the tea with a smile, took a sip, and nodded to Zhou Shi with a smile.
Chef Arnold looked at the two people with question marks on his face.
"Master." Zhou Shi said.
"Yeah."
It's like a warm apprenticeship scene.
The only discordant part was that Chef Arnold, who was sitting next to Peng Changping, who had always been full of doubts, suddenly changed his face and exclaimed.
"Master?!"(End of Chapter)
