Chapter 442 The mysterious old man
The old man seemed to be a professional. He pointed out many shortcomings in one breath and criticized the service of Yongnian Building to perfection!
Xiao Cai didn't realize it, and his eyes when he looked at the old man were filled with admiration!
"Old man, you know so much, are you a gourmet?"
The old man was stunned and said vaguely:
"That's right."
"Then can I share what you just said on the Internet? There are many netizens who want to hear what I have to say."
Xiao Cai wants to synchronize her text live broadcast Things have been said.
The old man didn’t understand live broadcasting, he just didn’t care whether these words would spread.
Anyway, even if it is passed from one to ten or ten to a hundred, he has nothing to be afraid of when it reaches the Wang family.
What he said is true!
After receiving the consent, Xiao Cai quickly took out his mobile phone:
[Xiao Cai: My family, who knows, I almost drank the hand water as soup just now...]
< br>What followed was a eloquent retelling of the old man’s evaluation of several hundred words.
This title is eye-catching enough, and soon someone responded below:
【So many questions? But I have been to Yongnian Building and it feels pretty good. 】
【Is that old man too picky? To be honest, there is no need to ask so much for a free meal. 】
[The old man is not criticizing Nazhi, but Yongnian Tower! 】
[I have to say that Yongnianlou has indeed been declining in recent years. In the eyes of ordinary people, there may not be much difference, but in the eyes of old diners, the gap is huge. 】
[Yes, the competition in high-end catering in Yanjing has always been fierce. These old restaurants all focus on feelings and services. If you can't even do the most basic things, you are not far away from falling from the altar. . 】
[I’m curious, is this old man a professional gourmet? There are so many skills, I feel like I have learned a lot. 】
……
The current sparks are not big.
After all the guests arrived, the tasting banquet officially began——
The lights dimmed and only a beam of light lit up in the middle.
Then four strong young chefs came in carrying a huge bamboo tray.
Under the light, surrounded by mountains, shaded by woods, pavilions and pavilions, clouds and water flowing...
Such a beautiful scenery, in the mist of dry ice, slowly unfolds like a picture scroll. , so beautiful.
“It’s a sample of Wangchuan Pictures!”
Someone blurted out!
Many people followed suit in silence.
The old man next to Xiao Cai murmured in a low voice:
"According to the order of serving, the first dish is indeed cold dishes, but the cold dishes of Master Nan are a bit too high-end. "
Compared with the faint shock in the old man's eyebrows, Xiao Cai turned out to be the calm one.
“Yes, the Wangchuan Tu sample, I know! This is Sister Zhi’s specialty!”
Facing the old man's confused and curious eyes, Xiao Cai explained that he had seen this in a live broadcast.
The old man was confused: What is live broadcast?
Xiao Cai is another good science popularizer. The old man seemed to understand.
At this time, the cold dishes of the entire Wangchuan Tu sample were almost displayed. Twenty plates with a total of twenty scenes were also served to the tables present in sequence, not too many, not too many. Less, exactly 20 tables.
The moment it was taken apart, some people let out a low cry of reluctance, as if they saw a piece of art being destroyed.
However, this is not only a work of art, but also a cold dish, meant for eating.
So the taste is the most important.
The table assigned to Xiao Cai happens to be a "water pavilion near the lake". It has a blue-colored soup base and stands on the water. The water pavilion made of fruits and vegetables is lifelike, even decorated with flowers, plants and rocks. It's so exquisite that people simply can't bear to destroy it.
In the end, curiosity defeated everything.
Xiao Cai had long been extremely curious about the Wangchuan picture sample in the live broadcast. She quickly picked up a small piece with serving chopsticks and gave it to the old man next to her first, and then to herself.
“Try it quickly.”
Xiao Cai said, quickly picked up the chopsticks and put them into his mouth.
The first feeling after entering the mouth is only two words, delicious!
She originally felt that the cold dishes were so exquisite that they were beyond the scope of ordinary food. Anyway, the vision was satisfied. Even if the taste was a little bland and ordinary, she could understand it.
However, when you actually eat it, you realize that this cold dish clearly takes into account both appearance and taste.
Beautiful is beautiful, but it tastes even better!
How can a seemingly inconspicuous fruit be so delicious?
And while chewing, the sweetness of the soup fills the mouth. It is cool, but it stimulates the taste buds to wake up from their deep sleep and start to perceive the taste.
“Good, delicious!”
Xiao Cai only had time to let out a low cry before he began to eat wildly.
Compared with her gobbling up food, the old man next to her was obviously much more reserved.
The old man raised his chopsticks gracefully. Because he had poor digestion due to old age, he ate very little cold food. He also cut the food on the plate in half before picking up a smaller piece and putting it into his mouth. .
Logically speaking, at his age, his sense of taste has deteriorated due to the aging of his organs, and he is no longer sensitive to taste.
But he can still taste the refreshing and delicious taste of this cold dish, just like the sea breeze blowing in the face in summer, refreshing.
Xiao Cai glanced at him furtively.
The old man found it funny and asked her what was wrong.
Xiao Cai scratched his face nonchalantly:
"I want to hear your evaluation. Anyway, I think this cold dish is very, very delicious! I'm just afraid that I haven't seen the world, so ...Hehe.”
She is still eager to share it with netizens!
The old man put down his chopsticks with a serious face:
“It’s not delicious.”
Xiao Cai: “Huh?”
The old man smiled suddenly:
“It’s top-notch deliciousness! This sample of Wangchuan Tu is a cold dish that requires heavy knife skills. At the same time, the chef’s overall thinking must be taken into consideration. Because when processing the ingredients, we must not only consider how to restore the scenery of Wangchuan Tu, but also how to restore the scenery of Wangchuan Tu. Consider how to make all the ingredients taste equally delicious and complement each other. ”
Xiao Cai's heart dropped from her throat:
"I thought... would it be difficult to do this?"
She was faintly excited.
The old man nodded:
“It’s difficult, of course it’s difficult. Let me give you an example. Everyone usually fry shredded potatoes, but if the shredded potatoes are not cut evenly, the taste will be different. Thick potato shreds have a weak taste, and thin potato shreds have a strong taste. In the end, the taste of the whole dish will be directly unbalanced! Don't underestimate the slightest imbalance. The test of top-notch dishes is often the difference in every detail. If not, the whole dish will be very different. Therefore, it is conceivable that the difficulty of a plate of shredded potatoes and a giant cold dish comparable to that of a dining table will increase exponentially. Just by making this sample of Wangchuan Tu, the chef is already worthy of being a top chef. What I’m also curious about is whether the chef made this dish himself or directed others to make it.”
"Is there a difference?"
