The chicken bean curd has the ultimate umami flavor, which pried open the taste buds of Lao Yu's family.
They began to surrender to each dish that followed——
They ate Kung Pao Chicken. According to Lao Yu, this was Master Nan’s famous dish. It looked simple, but it tasted completely different from ordinary Kung Pao Chicken. The chicken was tender and smooth, and the peanuts were crispy. , a perfect balance of texture and taste;
They ate Sixi meatballs, which are pork meatballs that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I heard that it was one of the classic dishes of Nanfeng Restaurant back then. , enough for each person in the family to get together without fighting;
They eat Wanfu Pork, a dish that tests the skill of the knife, and the flavor is brought out to the extreme by the skill of the knife. The full gravy will flow out automatically when you press it with chopsticks. The pork belly is stewed until it is soft and tender. Take one bite and mix it. The mellow aroma of fat spreads from the mouth to the stomach;
……
Especially the finale of the Buddha jumping over the wall made them forget their sorrows, as if even their souls were floating...
Fu Chao watched from a distance, admiring this family with admiration.
He originally thought that the old man's order would be a bit too much, and he was already ready to get the takeout box.
As a result, this family of four fought so hard that they wiped the table clean!
It’s really...envyable!
Fu Chao swallowed quietly.
He saw that Lao Yu and his family were already drinking the last of the Wangyou soup, so he walked forward slowly:
"Everyone, how do you like the food on today's table? Are you satisfied?"
This sentence is mainly aimed at Lao Yu.
Because Lao Yu was an old diner at Nanfeng Restaurant, Fu Chao also eagerly hoped that there would be diners from those days who could eat at Nanfeng Restaurant today and then recognize Nanzhi.
Nanzhi must be happy to hear this!
At this time, Lao Yu slowly put down the spoon, but did not speak immediately.
He stared blankly at the ethereal front, as if recalling the Nanfeng Tower many years ago.
But by his side at that time was his wife, whom he had loved for many years.
Now, although his wife is gone, his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter are all with him, and it seems that he has no regrets.
"On this table, only the chickpea puddings and Buddha Jumping Over the Wall were made by your Master Nan himself, right?"
Lao Yu suddenly spoke.
Fu Chao was shocked:
"How does the old man know?"
Old Yu smiled mysteriously:
“Of course I eat it!”
So professional?
Fu Chao asked in a daze:
"Are you a gourmet?"
Lao Yu waved his hand:
"What a gourmet? I'm just a retired engineer. I just like to eat!"
Fu Chao was amazed that there were experts among the people, but at the same time he was also a little worried:
“So, is there a big difference between Chicken Bean Flower Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and other dishes?”
He hadn't eaten it, but seeing Lao Yu eating it all at once, he was inevitably uneasy, thinking that Nanzhi's training yesterday had failed.
That's right, it's only one day, how can it be possible to achieve the taste that Nanzhi wants in such a rush? Only after a long time and good running-in can we improve step by step...
Hey, does this validate the concerns of viewers and other chefs?
Fu Chao's mind was filled with all kinds of messy thoughts.
As a result, Lao Yu shook his head at him:
"Not big. Look at my family, who has eaten it?"
Fu Chao followed Lao Yu's fingers and saw three other blank and satisfied faces on the table.
Lao Yu's son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter all said: "Huh? What?"
Old Yu smiled brightly:
"Look!"
This also made Fu Chao more and more puzzled.
So Lao Yu’s taste level is higher than others?
Lao Yu: "Many years ago, the Nanfeng Building opened very large. Every day we had to welcome guests and receive guests from all over the world. One time my wife and I came to have dinner and met a wealthy boss from the coast. , I have to pay more and let Master Nan fry the simplest tomato scrambled eggs for him personally. It is said that such a simple dish must be prepared by the simplest chef..."
Not only Fu Chao listened attentively to the story that Leng Buding began to tell, but Lao Yu's family members also listened in fascination.
Lao Yu didn't care about their reactions and continued talking on his own:
"...of course Master Nan disagreed. He told the rich man that the taste of the fried food made by other chefs in the store was the same as that cooked by him. The rich man didn't believe it and threw money aggressively, but still insisted on being cooked by Nan. The master took action. Master Nan finally agreed and cooked a tomato scrambled egg himself. The wealthy man ate it and was full of praise..."
"Then what?"
This time I couldn’t help but ask about the table next door.
It turned out that the table next door also heard what Lao Yu said, and everyone was extremely curious. They quietly slowed down their chopsticks and raised their ears.
Fortunately, Lao Yu didn't pay attention to their eavesdropping and just raised the corner of his mouth:
"...Then Master Nan brought out a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes from the kitchen, saying that he had made that plate himself, and what the rich man had just eaten was scrambled eggs with tomatoes fried by other chefs in the store! The rich man was deceived He was very angry and wanted to settle the score with Master Nan. As a result, Master Nan handed the tomato scrambled eggs to the rich man and asked him to taste it. The rich man did so, only to find that the taste of the two plates of tomato scrambled eggs was almost the same! ”
There were a lot of wow sounds all around!
Even Fu Chao couldn't help but ask:
"So Master Nan did it on purpose? He wants to tell that rich man that he is making trouble unreasonably?"
Lao Yu nodded:
"That's right. And Master Nan also said something at the end. He said - 'This is Nanfeng Restaurant. Every dish here is of Nanfeng Restaurant's standard. If it doesn't reach the standard, he will destroy his own brand.' ”
Such determination and self-confidence made everyone marvel, saying that Master Nan back then was really a strange person!
Fu Chao was a little lost in thought.
Lao Yu glanced at him:
"So you know, how do I feel when I eat this dish today?"
"...How does it feel?"
In Fu Chao's puzzled eyes, Lao Yu burst out laughing!
"The Nanfeng Tower from back then is back!"
Fu Chao's spirit was shaken, and he immediately beamed with joy. He waved his hand and gave Lao Yu and their table a 10% discount on the bill.
Lao Yu refused.
He thinks it is a great thing to be able to continue to spend money on Nanfeng Tower, and hopes they can keep opening it.
Fu Chao nodded and said of course he would.
After settling the bill, Old Yu stood up and said:
"Actually, I lied to you. I didn't taste any difference in taste. I just guessed that those two dishes were made by Chef Xiaonan himself, because in such a table, only these two dishes are limited edition!"
Fu Chao's pupils trembled, and he stared blankly at Lao Yu and his family walking away.
After a long time, he showed a proud smile! (End of chapter)
