Chapter 396 Chef’s Menu
Song Lin nodded and was about to praise Nanzhi’s diligence.
…Wait!
“Today’s chef’s menu? Are you going to try the dishes today?”
Nanzhi thought for a while and answered calmly:
"The menu should be served directly. If everything goes well, it can be served to the guests' tables in the evening."
Song Lin's eyes widened:
"This, how is this possible! You can Don’t underestimate the difficulty of tasting dishes!”
Although Yongnianlou has declined, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the chef’s strictness in selecting the menu has never been worse than in its peak period.
Generally, new chefs have to prepare their menus for several months, and currently the shortest time is three days.
And the person who finished it was...Nan Pingshan.
So, Song Lin gave Nanzhi only three days. He hoped that Nanzhi could reach the height of her grandfather when he was young.
He is even ready. Even if the taste is a little bit worse by then, he will nod and pass.
The result...
How long has it been?
one day?
I’m afraid not even!
Song Lin felt that Nanzhi thought of this matter too easily, and his face suddenly became serious, as if he was about to get angry at any time.
The disciples and grandsons who were brought out by him would probably have their hearts trembling when they saw his expression.
Nanzhi felt nothing, she was still laughing:
"Don't worry, Master Song, you will know after you try it."
Song Lin looked at her deeply:
"Okay, I want to try it, what is the source of your confidence? . ”
Nanzhi’s mapo tofu is indeed a masterpiece, but it cannot be used as a chef’s menu.
It’s not that it’s not delicious, but...
Not expensive enough!
The dishes on the chef's menu are the signature of Yongnian Restaurant's high standard, and naturally they must be in line with Yongnian Restaurant's status as a top restaurant.
Therefore, its price cannot be low, the ingredients cannot be bad, and it must meet the standards of high-end diners.
Song Lin admitted that Nanzhi was very good, but he also thought that Nanzhi thought about this matter too simply and intended to make her suffer, so he stopped mentioning it.
Nanzhi could see that Song Lin was a little unhappy.
She didn't take it to heart because strength was the best proof.
Leading Nan Yi to the kitchen, the kitchen was still empty at this time.
Oh, no, Song Lin is here too.
He stood silently in the warehouse counting the ingredients.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't do this kind of thing, but he seems to have developed a habit and has to do it himself.
When Nanzhi went to the warehouse to pick out what she needed, she bumped into Song Lin here.
She suddenly thought of something and said casually:
"My grandfather also runs a restaurant. The first thing he does when he gets up every morning is to personally check the kitchen to confirm the status of the ingredients and utensils. , he said that an excellent chef must know every corner of the kitchen."
Song Lin's body froze when Nanzhi mentioned the word "grandpa".
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask Nanzhi more about her grandfather.
The words came to my lips, but I didn't know what to say.
Swallow it in the end and just pretend not to know anything.
As he turned around, Nanzhi glanced at Song Lin again.
Seeing that he was standing there deliberately and not moving, he held his lips and left with a lot of things.
Nanyi was waiting for her in the kitchen, already wearing a customized little chef uniform and a matching chef hat.
Just like the children's version of the waiter uniform when Nanzhi was working as a waiter, it should be a masterpiece of the show crew.
Nanyi raised her head proudly:
"Mom, look!"
"Wow."
Nanyi opened her eyes slightly , some surprises.
Even the complex emotions that had just arisen disappeared.
She pulled Nan Yi to look around and thought it was so cute. She couldn't help but take several photos of Nan Yi with her mobile phone.
Nanyi was a little uncomfortable taking pictures at first, but gradually she became able to cooperate with Nanzhi’s lens.
Nanzhi: "...Ah, I almost forgot about the real thing." It's all because Nanyi is so cute that she can't concentrate at all!
Nan Yi clenched her little fists, her eyes filled with fighting spirit: "Mom, let me help you!"
Nan Zhi was unwilling to dampen his high mood, so she ordered him to run errands, move things, and so on.
Nanyi doesn’t think things are trivial, but does everything seriously.
Nanzhi smiled happily.
When she looked back, the relaxation and joy on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by seriousness and concentration——
Nanzhi's cooking skills are indeed very high, and she is fully confident in her skills.
But confidence does not mean complacency.
Even if it is the most basic dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, she will do her best to make it.
What’s more, it’s very difficult to cook soup nowadays?
Nanzhi raised her knife and dropped it, and the whole hen fell into pieces under her knife.
Then Nanzhi processed other ingredients, washed them one by one, and after confirming that there was no blood, put them in boiling water and soaked them thoroughly. When all the blood and foam came out, she poured water into the big bucket and burned them over high fire. On, keep boiling.
Nanzhi’s expression was more serious than ever.
Some time has passed.
As it approached 7 o'clock in the morning, the sound of laughing and joking finally came.
“Hahaha! I am number one!”
The young chef suddenly jumped into the kitchen and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
“Master Nan, Master Nan?”
He was obviously surprised to see Nanzhi.
Nanzhi was distracted by other things, but she always kept her attention on the soup pot.
Someone greeted her, and she responded a little casually:
"Well, good morning."
"...It's too early. How early did you arrive?"
Nanzhi thought for a while:
"Half Hours ago.”
The young chef was stunned.
Soon his companion came and saw him blocking the door of the kitchen, still puzzled.
Looking closer, I was also frightened by Nanzhi, and blurted out:
"Is the recording of the program so busy now? It starts at seven o'clock in the morning?"
Nanzhi casually explained that the person recording the program hadn’t arrived yet.
So only Nanzhi arrived first?
The young chefs were very curious and came over to see what Nanzhi was doing:
"Is this making soup?"
They were also chefs, so it was not difficult to see what Nanzhi was doing.
So they became even more strange:
"Master Nan, we have a master in the kitchen who specializes in making soup stock. You can ask him if you need it."
One of the reasons why big restaurants are so efficient is that everyone performs their duties.
There are separate people for cutting vegetables, serving soup and other aspects.
Except for very few chefs who want to have 100% control over the kitchen, otherwise they will choose to use the soup stock prepared by the soup chef.
Nanzhi didn’t even raise his eyes:
“Well, I’m still used to using the soup I made myself.”
The other young chefs fell silent.
They always felt that Nanzhi's behavior was a bit unnecessary, so they thought of her as the kind of stubborn and old-fashioned person, and finally walked away silently.
After a while, Song Lin also came over.
Of course he could see that Nanzhi was trying to make a fool of herself, but he didn't ask anything and just let her go.
Soon people came one after another, and they all noticed Nanzhi hanging in the corner, and couldn't help but whisper.
