"Manager Shu, was your boss the chef in Building 2 before?"
Mr. Jin was very puzzled as to why the braised pork eaten at Diaoyutai was made by the owner of this restaurant. Didn’t it mean that the chefs there were all selected at different levels?
How can we let outsiders cook?
"Our boss is the catering consultant of Diaoyutai and is also the younger brother of Chef Xie in Building No. 2."
Shu Yun didn't say much. He briefly introduced Lin Xu's identity and then left.
In the eyes of the store general manager, Lin Xu's identity is not important at all. He has excellent cooking skills and a sincere heart, which is enough.
As for other titles and identities, they are just icing on the cake.
After Shu Yun left, Mr. Jin picked up the rice and smiled:
"I went to Diaoyutai for dinner with great interest at noon, but ended up being careless and losing all interest. As for this store, I just took a look at it on a whim, but I didn't expect such a surprise."
Not only did I get my favorite braised pork, but the other dishes were also delicious.
For example, pressed pig head, high-end restaurants maintain their own status and will not cook this dish at all.
But this store did it, not only achieving the ultimate taste, but also improving the presentation to a level comparable to table-top dishes.
To be honest, if it hadn't been for Shu Yun's introduction, no one would have imagined that this ruddy-colored, square-looking dish is actually made from pig heads, which high-end chefs despise.
And another cold dish, crystal elbows, is so shiny that it looks like a work of art.
There is no need to eat it at all, just one look at it will give you a cold feeling.
As for other dishes, such as lotus root in ginger juice, tiger skin chicken feet, stir-fried beef tongue, fish fillet cooked in vinegar, salt-baked pork belly, etc., they all have their own characteristics.
"It's worth it, Lao Jin."
"That's right, I didn't expect there to be such a store in North Fourth Ring Road."
"I just looked through the menu, and the price of the food here is much lower than that of Diaoyutai, and the taste is not inferior to Diaoyutai. I will come here next time we have dinner."
"Today was too rushed. I have to try the signature dishes here next time."
"..."
Mr. Jin originally planned to question this store for imitating Mr. Tateyama’s inscription, but now it seems that people who can afford to open such a restaurant can be average?
Apart from anything else, my identity as a Diaoyutai catering consultant is enough to shock my peers.
He put a shaky piece of braised pork in the bowl and didn't eat it in a hurry. Instead, he crushed the meat with a spoon and mixed it with the rice.
Mix well and scoop a small spoonful into your mouth. The elastic meat skin, jelly-like fat meat, and rice grains wrapped in gravy are so enjoyable after eating them!
What is perfection?
This is it.
"Lao Jin, have you eaten anything delicious in the northwest this time?"
Mr. Jin said:
"The most famous thing in the northwest is the roasted whole lamb. I have eaten it several times and I can't get enough of it every time. It is much better than the roasted whole lamb eaten in restaurants in the capital."
Roasted whole lamb must be made from freshly killed fat sheep to make it delicious.
But here in the capital, all frozen or chilled sheep are imported in batches, which is a level lower in terms of ingredients.
In addition, these restaurants in Beijing blindly pursue profits and use smaller sheep. Although this kind of sheep is easy to cook, it is not fat enough and the roasted meat is dry.
It’s completely different from the big fat sheep roasted in the northwest.
After recalling it, he said:
"It's a pity that there is no such good mutton in the capital, otherwise I would have asked everyone to try it."
While they were eating, the elevator door next to them opened.
An old man wearing practice clothes walked out of it holding two painted scrolls:
"Where's my friend Lin? Isn't this already open? Why do you say it only opens on the weekend? I'm still waiting at home..."
He muttered as he walked towards the kitchen.
Mr. Jin’s eyes were straight:
"Isn't this Mr. Tateyama? How could he..."
Thinking of the door outside, Mr. Jin suddenly felt happy.
Fortunately, I didn't question him face to face when I just walked in, otherwise I would definitely become a joke.
Thinking about it, the owner of this shop is really awesome. He has a background in Diaoyutai and he also knows Mr. Tateyama, the most famous person in the calligraphy circle. This is amazing.
There is going to be an earthquake in the catering circle in Beijing!
As soon as Geng Lishan came up, Geng Lele and Zeng Xiaoqi also followed.
"My grandfather couldn't understand the difference between trial opening and official opening. He always felt that Brother Xu had deceived him, so he came to ask questions."
"It's my fault. Mr. Tateyama asked two days ago. I said it would open on Saturday and I forgot to explain."
Kitchen entrance.
Geng Lishan, who came to "question the crime", listened carefully to Lin Xu's explanation of the opening and trial operation:
"The trial opening is because I am worried that no one will come on the opening day, so I warm it up in advance. The dishes are not complete yet. Only after the official opening will all the dishes be served."
Geng Lishan listened with half-understanding:
"Then it's your fault that you didn't notify me. I was still waiting to come to the store to visit and inscribe on the spot. This step is gone now."
This old man is quite cute.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"You are here just to give me a huge favor. How can I dare to let you take action? The suckling pig is roasting in the stove. You will help to check it later."
As soon as he heard the food, Geng Lishan's attention was immediately diverted:
"I'm not qualified to lock you up. I'm just here to have a feast with the gifts today. Take this, this is the gift that I brought with my granddaughter..."
Lin Xu couldn't laugh or cry as he took the two scrolls.
Each person comes with a gift, you are really down-to-earth.
He knew that Geng Lishan felt a little sorry about buying Geng Lele a computer last time, so he sent two words as a gift this time.
Untying the silk thread on the scroll, Lin Xu opened the scroll. One said "Business is prosperous" and the other said "Harmony brings wealth".
Seeing Zeng Xiaoqi and Mr. Jin and others sitting in the distance eating, they felt envious.
These are Mr. Tateyama's calligraphy works. Two pieces are given away at a time. If they are sent to the auction house, they can be sold for at least three to four million. If you meet Mr. Tateyama's fans, the price may be doubled.
p>
It’s really enviable to be able to follow the etiquette to this extent.
"Lao Jin, did you just hear that young man say that they also have roast suckling pig? Don't you know the general manager here? Ask her if she can give us one."
Roast suckling pig for the great calligrapher.
It feels unusual when you think about it.
When Mr. Jin heard this, he was also a little moved.
He waved to the waiter next to him:
"Hello, can you help me call your General Manager Shu over? I'm sorry to bother you, girl."
While talking, he gave the waiter a tip of 100 yuan.
Soon, Shu Yun came upstairs.
"Manager Shu, the young man at the door of the kitchen is your boss, right? I just heard that he made roasted suckling pig. Did he make too much? Can you give us one?"
Shu Yun didn't expect such a request.
Is this Mr. Jin interested in the hotel’s staff meals?
Last time I fell in love with the braised pork that I ate in Building 2, and this time I fell in love with the roast suckling pig that the boss served to entertain family and friends. Why do I always want to eat dishes that are not sold in the store?
She couldn't make the decision, so she had to say:
"Let me ask. The boss's relatives and family members are here to eat today. It's hard to say whether it can be evenly distributed."
Arriving next to Lin Xu, Shu Yun whispered Mr. Jin's request.
A roast suckling pig?
This amount is not quite enough, because today my father-in-law will also bring his friends to eat, and my mother-in-law’s best friend will also come, as well as a group of our Chen Wanwan’s employee friends and so on...
The most important thing is that Mr. Jin often visits Diaoyutai.
I am definitely no stranger to the roast suckling pig in Building 10.
When I learned how to roast suckling pig, I didn’t have a cooking learning card in hand. What I can make now is at best excellent level, which is somewhat inadequate.
Thinking of this, Lin Xu said to Shu Yun:
"It's not enough, and I'm still in the practice stage of making roasted suckling pig... Well, you send a dish over there, and tell them by the way, they can order roasted whole lamb, and it will take some time before the roasted suckling pig is available."<
/p>
Well, the roasted whole lamb is excellent after all, better than the roasted suckling pig, and I have never tried roasting a whole lamb in a roasted duck oven. If someone makes a reservation, it will be a good practice without making money.
p>
After listening to the boss's words, Shu Yun ordered a plate of stir-fried beans from the kitchen, and then walked towards the booth with it.
Mr. Jin was a little disappointed when he saw this scene:
"It seems like this can't be evened out..."
After Shu Yun came over, he first expressed his apology and then said:
"Our boss said that the roasted suckling pig is still in the practice stage, so we won't show it to our distinguished guests. However, the oven in the back kitchen can make roasted whole lamb. If Mr. Jin wants to try it, he can make a reservation."
What?
Do you have roasted whole lamb?
Mr. Jin's mood was like riding a roller coaster. Just now he regretted that the roasted whole lamb in Beijing was not good, but now he came across a recommendation.
What a coincidence, right?
He asked curiously:
"Manager Shu, have you tried the roasted whole lamb in your store? How does it taste?"
Shu Yun actually ate it.
Before the trial opening, when Lin Xu was making roasted whole lamb in the villa, he hired an errand boy to deliver some. The management almost tasted the crispy outside and tender inside of the lamb.
Looking back now, Shu Yun smiled and said:
“This is the best roasted whole lamb I have ever tasted.”
Who would have thought that when the boss had a dinner at his home, he would not forget to ask someone to give one to his employees. The surprise and happiness moved her, Dou Wenjing and others.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jin said:
"Then let's reserve one. By the way, Manager Shu, can I apply for a card here? I'll recharge 500,000 yuan later. If the mutton is delicious, I'll probably have to order several."
At that time, friends will gather, classmates will gather, business partners will gather, family members will gather together... Now that I have encountered something delicious, naturally everyone will come to try it.
And just eating roasted whole lamb is definitely not enough, you have to order other dishes.
If you want to eat with food and drinks, just charge 500,000 yuan first, then just swipe your card and leave after you finish eating. How easy it is.
After Shu Yun left, several people took a bite of the stir-fried beans on the table.
"Oh, these beans are cooked very authentically."
"It has a plump texture and doesn't have the taste of raw beans. It's delicious."
"I originally thought that only roadside shops can eat such delicious dry-stirred beans, but I didn't expect that big restaurants can make it so delicious."
“What a treasure restaurant full of surprises!”
"..."
Lin Xu and Geng Lishan chatted at the door for a while, and then asked Shu Yun to take them to the private room upstairs.
He himself returned to the kitchen and continued to guard the suckling pig in the roast duck oven.
Although I have made it several times in the villa, it was all done using charcoal grilling. I have not practiced this hanging stove method, so I have to stay close to the side to avoid overturning.
At the gate downstairs, Chen Yan, who was wearing a short skirt, long boots, and her hair tied into a ponytail, strode into the store with her company employees.
Seeing Song Tiantian, Sister Chen Yu asked:
"Is the suckling pig roasted?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon, because ten minutes ago they said they had hung the marinated suckling pig in the oven...Mr. Chen is dressed up today...it's so spicy!"
She originally wanted to say "very young", but she thought it was inappropriate, so she temporarily changed it to "hot".
Chen Yan smiled and said:
"I will wear it a few times before my thirtieth birthday. It will be too young to wear it after my birthday."
Well, before my birthday, I could still lie and claim that I was in my twenties.
But after your birthday, you are thirty years old.
According to my mother, at the age of thirty, she is a middle-aged woman who does laundry, cooking and taking care of children. If she pretends to be young anymore, it will be too unconventional, and her parents will not tolerate it.
"You guys go up first. I've reserved the largest room on the third floor. I'll wait for my uncle and aunt."
Not long after, Shen Baobao got off work. After seeing Chen Yan, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief:
"Who is this monster? How dare you pretend to be my Yanbao!"
Chen Yan rolled her eyes:
"Hey, you sent me a message this morning and still retracted it. Are you afraid that I would eat your sesame cakes?"
"No, I'm afraid of disturbing your sleep... Yanbao, are you wearing such sexy clothes for a date?"
"I'm just making an appointment. I'm just pretending to be a little girl before my birthday...I heard from Shu Yun that my brother-in-law made some beautifying tendon jelly last night. Don't fight with me later. I need to eat more.
, so that you can look beautiful on your birthday."
"You are so beautiful..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When Chen Yan heard her cousin praising herself so much, Chen Yan immediately became energetic:
"Really? Then tell me what makes me beautiful?"
"Uh... I'm just giving you a polite compliment, please don't force yourself on others, okay... Oh, don't pinch, don't pinch, Yan Bao is good at everything, especially this face, come on, let me give you a kiss, mua~~~~"
In front of the oven, Lin Xu watched the suckling pig inside turn golden brown little by little, and then turned golden red again.
In terms of color, these suckling pigs are quite good.
I just don’t know how it tastes.
At about the same time, he opened the oven and used a long pole with a hook to pick out the suckling pigs one by one.
After all ten roast suckling pigs came out.
Just when Lin Xuda was about to remove the supports and hooks and prepare to install the plate, the system prompt sounded in his mind:
"With no skills, the host used the roast duck oven to make ten excellent-level roasted suckling pigs for the first time. He completed the hidden task [mass production] and obtained the excellent-level dish - whitebait omelette. Congratulations to the host."
I'm going!
I didn’t expect that there would be such a reward for cooking ten roast suckling pigs at the same time.
What an unexpected surprise.
He removed the supports and hooks, then carefully placed the suckling pig on a large plate lined with lettuce leaves, asked the chef to prepare the matching dipping sauce, and then ordered it to be served.
After the roast suckling pig was served, the previously prepared dishes were also served one by one.
Lin Xu asked Che Zai to fish out some whitebait from the aquarium below, pour it into a basin, and marinate it with onion, ginger, cooking wine and pepper.
There is no need to clean up the whitebait, just wash it twice and pickle it directly.
While the marinating was taking place, he cracked a few more eggs and added salt, light soy sauce, water starch, and chopped chives.
The purpose of adding watery starch is to make the fried eggs more tender and smooth, and also to make it easier to solidify into balls.
Use tachyon to break up the egg liquid, wait until the whitebait is almost marinated, and start frying.
Heat the pot and pour cooking oil into it.
After fully moistening the pot, pour out the hot oil and pour some cold oil back in.
After heating again, pour the prepared egg liquid into the pot.
When frying, you should not turn it over, but shake the wok to gradually spread the egg liquid inside and turn it into a slightly thick egg cake.
When the egg cake is formed and the egg liquid is about to solidify, scatter the whitebait on top.
Do not overlap the whitebait to avoid overcooking.
After placing it, gently press it with a spatula to make the whitebait completely stick to the eggs.
This shape looks a bit like a pizza made of whitebait.
When the egg liquid is completely solidified, use the wok to turn it over, and use a large spoon to turn the egg cake over so that the side with the whitebait is facing down.
After it falls steadily into the pot, pour a little cooking oil along the edge of the pot.
The purpose of this is to make the fragrance of the whitebait stronger, and because there is oil in it, the whitebait will not fall out of the lake easily.
Wait for the fish flavor to come out from the pot, then turn the egg cake over again.
After frying for a while, take it out of the pan and put it on a plate.
It didn't take long for the whitebait omelette to be delivered to the private room upstairs.
"Oh, this is a very demanding dish. If you are not careful, you will have to pick up fish all over the floor."
Geng Lishan picked up a piece of egg with whitebait in his mouth, tasted it, and immediately gave a thumbs up:
"The umami flavor of the eggs and the umami flavor of the whitebait are perfectly combined, and the chives in the egg liquid are also fried just right. It tastes rich and fragrant, which is really good!"
Lin Xiaoyou is really surprising everyone.
Among the dishes on the table today, the roasted suckling pig is awesome, the rock sugar elbow is unforgettable, the crystal elbow is refreshing and relieves the heat, and the pressed pig head is salty and delicious.
But what impressed him most was the sesame-fried biscuits stuffed with beef.
The small sesame pancake has been cut with a small slit on the side. Pick it up and put some beef slices in it. Geng Lishan immediately recalls the experience of riding a bicycle to the rural annual fair during the Spring Festival when he was young to write Spring Festival couplets.
p>
The Spring Festival couplets of that era were all written now.
When you go there, you have to carry the ink in your arms to prevent it from freezing.
When he arrived, he spread out the table with red paper and started writing. A pair of Spring Festival couplets cost a dime. He could earn several hundred for an annual collection, and they were all written out with gritted teeth.
When I get tired of writing, I buy a Shaobing with beef from the side, eat it hot and then continue writing.
Why is the life of the Geng family getting better and better in the capital? Isn’t it all written by a pair of Spring Festival couplets at that time?
I really didn’t expect that Xiaoyou Lin would actually prepare such a delicacy.
Does this remind me not to forget my original intention?
It must be, Lin Xu was embarrassed to say it to my face, so he reminded me in this tactful way.
What a painstaking effort!
Just as Geng Lishan was sighing, Lin Xu opened the door and walked in.
Just as he was about to ask how today's meal was, the great calligrapher suddenly said:
"Little friend Lin, I have received your reminder. From now on, I am determined to be a primary school student in the field of calligraphy. I will no longer be arrogant and proud of my talents, and I will no longer maintain my own identity..."
Lin Xu:??????
Old man, what have I done to misunderstand you?
Can you give me a chance to explain?
