Ke San hesitated for a moment, then broke the silence in the warehouse.
"Boss, what should we do? It seems that there is really a problem here. He probably ate the soybeans closer to the bottom."
Zhang Huiyuan looked at the gray-green mildew stain lying quietly on his glove, and frowned deeply.
Now the problem is quite big. If I was right on my side, that would be better, but now the problem is that I really did something wrong on my side.
Not only can you not blame the other person, you must also thank the other person.
The question is how to face the situation now?
Do you admit it directly? Or do you push the issue away completely?
After all, the condition of the soybeans is still good, but there is an odor inside the beans and they are about to go bad.
It's about to go bad and it's gone bad. Even if someone from the Food Safety Bureau comes to investigate, they won't find any problems.
Just when Zhang Huiyuan was hesitant, Ke San spoke again:
"Boss, if this is not the case, we will contact this guy privately immediately."
"Let's see if we can get him to retract his confession on the spot. He didn't find out just now. It's not that the soybeans have a strange smell, but that there is a special condiment in them?"
"The price is easy to negotiate. After all, I don't believe any anchor doesn't like money."
Xiao Quan, the manager of the food delivery department next to him, also quickly echoed:
"Yes, Chef Zhang, I think Master Ke's suggestion is very good. Otherwise, let's..."
Ah Quan was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Zhang Huiyuan raising his hand:
"While waiting for the first dish, I went to personally apologize to everyone."
"Although it has not deteriorated yet, it is not far away from deterioration. If problems arise, we will have to face them. If we just avoid them, we will only get worse and worse."
Hearing Zhang Huiyuan's words, both of them were shocked. Their head chef actually wanted to admit his mistake in person?
"But if we admit it, what about the negative consequences?"
Ke San was a little puzzled, wondering why the boss of this family would do this.
Isn’t it the easiest thing to avoid when you eat something that smells bad?
This is not like eating a foreign object. For example, eating something like bug hair that can be seen directly in the live broadcast room. It is really impossible to quibble.
But if you say there is a strange smell, the chef can argue that it is a special sauce.
After all, there is no way to distinguish things like taste through the screen of a mobile phone, so everyone has the opportunity to argue.
Besides, the soybeans haven't spoiled yet, and people from the food department can even be called in for testing.
Normally it is impossible to detect the problem, so not only can this directly slap the anchor in the face.
The palace banquet can even take advantage of this wave of east wind to promote its own business.
When he wants to surrender himself, this situation is the most unreasonable.
However, Zhang Huiyuan didn't explain much. He took off his gloves and threw the piece of mildew into the trash can nearby.
Then he told Ke San:
"Hurry up and find someone to check all the materials here. Check them inside and out. Don't make any mistakes."
"I was lucky this time and there is still room for remediation. If I am unlucky next time and a food problem does arise, it will not be so easy to solve."
Zhang Huiyuan turned around and walked out of the warehouse, heading towards the front hall. Ke San wanted to stop him again, but was stopped by Ah Quan next to him.
"Okay, okay, you quickly go to the back kitchen and find someone to come over and check if there is any problem in the warehouse. Since Chef Zhang has decided on this, don't worry about it."
"Since he decided to do this, he has his reasons. Just listen to him."
Ke San hesitated to speak. Seeing the figure of his boss quickly disappearing from sight, he sighed helplessly and walked towards the kitchen.
........
At this time, Li Xiao's chopsticks had already reached for the last plate of cold dishes.
【Bean Paste Fruit】
Li Xiao pulled the plate containing the red bean paste fruit in front of the camera. This fruit was quite delicate.
There are two bean paste fruits in front of him, one is in the shape of a red goldfish, and the other is in the shape of a green bamboo leaf.
The red fruit is filled with bean paste. The surface of the fruit is a gradient color of white and red mixed together. The body of the whale is red, and the tail gradually changes from red to white.
It is obviously a food made of bean paste, but its streamlined texture is very vivid and light, just like this red goldfish will swing its tail at any time and come to life.
The green bamboo-shaped red bean paste fruit is filled with matcha, and the color is also a gradient from green to white.
The carving of this matcha fruit is a little simpler, with four or five knives and six or seven small dots added to form a small bamboo forest and a few bamboo leaves.
If the shape of the red goldfish fruit is of the realistic style, then the matcha fruit is of the imagistic style. Strictly speaking, they are almost the same.
I have to say that these two portions of fruits are the best among the eight cold dishes, but I don’t know how they taste.
After Li Xiao brought the bean paste fruit to the camera, the audience in the live broadcast room all showed puzzled expressions.
"Wait a minute, isn't this the cherry blossom fruit from Sakura Country?"
"Yes, it should be called Sakura Fruit. I saw this thing when I went to Sakura Country for exchange last time. It is quite delicious, sweet and soft."
"This is something from our Han Dynasty, but it was passed down to their Jiedu envoys during the Tang Dynasty."
"Oh oh oh, I remembered it when the big brother upstairs said that. It was indeed mentioned in history class."
"Actually, many of Sakura Country's traditional foods were passed down from us. After all, the Han Dynasty has been their suzerain country since ancient times. Many of their habits and customs were learned from us, but some of them have been discarded by us. They still kept it, and over time, some children thought it was theirs."
"Actually, it's a little different. Our bean paste confectionery tastes a little sweeter, while their cherry blossom confectionery tastes a little lighter."
...
Li Xiao nodded and said:
"Yes, the red bean paste fruits from the Han Kingdom are indeed slightly different from the cherry blossom fruits from the Sakura Kingdom, but the source is the same thing."
"In addition, the red bean paste confection in front of me should have learned some of the advantages of cherry blossom confectionery. It has a more delicate appearance and uses different fillings."
"The bean paste in our country is usually made from pure bean paste, and its appearance is usually round or square, and there is usually no carving."
"Because the two red bean paste fruits in front of me are so exquisite, and one of them is made of matcha. Obviously, they are not the traditional red bean paste fruits of the Han Dynasty."
"But as long as the food is delicious, we must not pay too much attention to it."
"Okay, let me try this matcha fruit for you first."
As he spoke, he picked up the silver knife and cut it into pieces. The texture of the matcha fruit was very light, and the silver knife hardly required any force.
The matcha fruit is cut open, and it is different from the smooth and delicate appearance.
The inside of the matcha fruit is dark green matcha filling. Unlike the smooth skin, the matcha filling gives people a gritty feeling.
Gently pick up the matcha fruit with a fork and put it into your mouth.
Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction:
"The skin is filled with white bean paste, and the fruit skin is made of glutinous rice. The taste is very light, with only a very light sweetness and milky aroma."
“Since the skin is made with glutinous rice, the texture is softer and glutinous, and the texture is very comfortable and light when bitten.”
"I would like to highlight their matcha filling. The quality of the matcha is very high."
"If I guess correctly, this matcha is probably made from matcha from Uji Prefecture, Sakura Country."
"Uji County in the Sakura Country is the best Matcha producing area in the Sakura Country. This place has been specializing in the production of Matcha for the Han Dynasty since the Tang Dynasty."
"It was once used as a commodity by the Cao Communist Party and was sent as tribute to the capital of the Han Dynasty."
“The matcha produced in Uji Prefecture has a very light bitterness, a strong sweet aftertaste, a rich and fragrant tea flavor, and a long-lasting aroma. Moreover, due to hundreds of years of production technology, it has been continuously improved by local people, so the local matcha is becoming more and more popular. Okay, but the price is quite expensive, very, very expensive.”
Li Xiao sighed and stuffed the remaining half of the matcha fruit into his mouth.
“But it’s expensive for a reason. It’s really fragrant. After eating only such a small piece, I felt like I was bathing in a tea garden after the rain. I was surrounded by the fragrance of tea leaves and felt refreshed. ."
After speaking, Li Xiao swallowed all the food in his mouth and picked up the tea cup next to him.
A mouthful of warm oolong tea entered his mouth, but Li Xiao found that after eating the rich matcha fruit.
The original strong tea flavor of oolong tea has also lost a bit of flavor. It is a bit like eating fruit again after eating ice cream. It always feels that the sweetness will be much less.
After the matcha flavor on his taste buds slowly disappeared, Li Xiao turned his attention to the other red bean paste fruit on the plate.
The appearance of this fruit is so beautiful that Li Xiaocai put it at the end.
The silver knife once again easily split the goldfish-shaped red bean paste fruit into two pieces. The content of the goldfish red bean paste fruit was a little richer than that of matcha juice.
Matcha fruit has only two layers, the outer shell made of white bean paste and glutinous rice, and the matcha filling made of a mixture of bean paste and matcha.
The goldfish red bean paste fruit has three layers, the outer layer is a skin made of white bean paste and glutinous rice, the middle layer is an inner skin made of raspberries and red bean paste, and the innermost layer is the red bean paste filling.
When the goldfish bean paste fruit enters your mouth, the rich taste fills your mouth.
As soon as the fruit entered his mouth, Li Xiao's eyes lit up. It was interesting, very interesting. The outer layer was not just filled with white bean paste and glutinous rice.
He smiled and said to the audience in the live broadcast room
"You can feel a little osmanthus fragrance and sweetness from its skin. It seems that the chef also kneaded some osmanthus powder or osmanthus sugar into the skin."
"The sour-sweet taste of the plain-coated bean paste in the middle is very special. The fruity aroma and acidity of the tree fruit neutralize the sweetness of the osmanthus in the outer layer and the sweetness of the bean paste in the inner layer."
"The bean paste inside is very delicate. Generally speaking, the taste of the goldfish bean paste fruit is sweet and sour, very fresh, natural and very energetic."
In the live broadcast room.
"The anchor's live broadcast is still the same as before, with a clear distinction between love and hate."
"I have never seen such a down-to-earth anchor. If soybeans have a peculiar smell, they have a peculiar smell. If other things are delicious, they are delicious. If they are not delicious, they are not delicious. It's awesome!"
"Ever since I discovered the anchor, I have only watched the anchor's live broadcast. The anchor does not receive promotions as often as other anchors, and he often insults others."
"Some anchors always feel that their viewers are fools. The whole store is full of dark dishes, and so many people eat them. Is this masochistic?"
"I've heard that many anchors and public accounts will ask merchants for promotion fees in advance. If the merchants refuse to pay, the anchors will try their best to hack them."
"But anchor, why did you notice that the fried soybeans had a peculiar smell? Others didn't notice it? I saw that the people at the two tables next to me had almost finished their fried beans."
However, not long after his words appeared in the barrage, the young lady wearing a red skirt who had just served tea appeared again.
With graceful dancing steps on her feet, she seemed to say something when she came in front of the guests.
Then he took away all the fried soybeans in front of the guests, and then put down a pile of small crispy pork.
Li Xiao's ears were particularly sharp, and he could hear the explanations given by the ladies near him to the guests.
The reason why they took back these fried soybeans was because the soybeans were not fried once, so the soybeans were not fried enough and might become soft quickly.
Fortunately, the chef discovered the problem in time, so he took back all the fried soybeans and replaced them with these small crispy meats.
There was no young lady here to come and take away her fried soybeans.
Just when he was looking confused, a middle-aged man in his 40s walked up to him.
This middle-aged man wore a tall chef's hat and blue food-grade gloves on his left hand, while his right hand was empty.
Wearing a white chef's uniform with black edges, his body is slightly stout and his face has a serious expression.
Li Xiao, who had very good eyesight, knew who this person was from the work name tag on his left chest before he came closer.
Zhang Huiyuan, a five-star senior chef, is also one of the chefs of this high-end restaurant.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that the young lady in red who served tea just now had told the chef about the matter, but he just didn't know how the other party would deal with it.
Listening to the explanation of the young lady next to me just now, are they trying to muddle through?
In fact, if you think about it seriously, this matter is not a big problem, nor is it anything too serious.
After all, deterioration and preparation for deterioration are completely different things. Now that the other party has recognized the problem.
As long as the other party's attitude of admitting their mistake is sincere enough, then you can completely let the other party go.
Without letting Li Xiao guess for too long, Zhang Huiyuan quickly walked to his side.
Just listen to Zhang Huiyuan say:
"We are very sorry. Due to contamination in our storage equipment, the storage time of soybeans in the warehouse is much shorter than the normal time."
"So, our soybeans have a bad taste and have an off-flavor."
"But don't worry, these soybeans were put into storage ten days ago. Logically speaking, they are unlikely to go bad, but the taste may become bad."
"However, even if the taste only becomes bad, it is because our kitchen is not rigorous enough and there are mistakes. I very much hope to be forgiven by the guests."
After speaking, he bent slightly and bowed to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao quickly stood up from the stool. After all, a five-star chef bowing to him was indeed a very important etiquette.
To be honest, it's really not that important.
At first, he just wanted the other party to come out and admit his mistake, but he never thought that the other party's attitude of admitting his mistake would be so sincere. Since the other party had already admitted his mistake first, he would just pretend that nothing happened.
