Bai Li smiled at Huang Ying. Although the full house was his family's business, he could only be regarded as a diner after all. If Huang Ying, the former head chef of the full house, had said it first, he was afraid that when he did it again, he would
I won't know what to say.
"Brother Tie, although I am not a chef, I have been to many restaurants and tasted a lot of delicious food! The four dishes and one soup you made today are really amazing. I never thought they were the more common stir-fried spring bamboo shoots.
Stewed box vegetables, steamed grass carp, stewed pork ribs, mountain delicacies soup, you can actually make it so that I can't help but want to eat it again!"
Bai Li gave a thumbs up to Gu Zheng, and then said: "I want to talk about stir-fried spring bamboo shoots. You have made the smallest changes to this dish. I thought that even if it tastes better than the one made by the chef of Piaoxianglou, it will not be as good.
A lot, but I didn’t expect that I was completely wrong! The crispness and fragrance of spring bamboo shoots were really beyond my imagination, so much so that it made me wonder, were the ones I ate before really fried spring bamboo shoots?”
"I can't help but drool when I think about the braised boxing dish now. I never thought that adding the pork rib soup to the braised boxing would actually make the boxing grow so much larger. And this kind of full-boiled braised boxing dish
The soup-soaked box vegetables, the feeling of the juice bursting in your mouth when biting into it, is really great!"
“This dish of braised pork ribs feels very novel to me. The pork ribs and yams have been specially processed by Brother Tie in advance. The stewed taste of the two ingredients is very wonderful. The pork ribs are fragrant but not greasy, and the yams are sandy and tasty, especially
The soup feels like a soup of its own!"
"The dish of steamed grass carp gives me a more amazing feeling than the stir-fried spring bamboo shoots. After eating this dish made by brother Tie, it really makes me wonder whether I have ever eaten steamed grass carp before. The meat quality of grass carp can really be like this.
Is it fresh and tender? And the spicy and sour sauce that Brother Tie specially prepared is also very good. The spicy and sour taste paired with the tender and smooth fish is really very appetizing!"
"Among the four dishes and one soup that Brother Tie made today, the most amazing thing is the Shanzhen Soup! The ingredients for cooking the Shanzhen Soup were all processed by Brother Tie in advance, and when Brother Tie processed those ingredients, I also
I also didn’t understand it very much, but after I really tasted the mountain delicacies soup, I drank a wonderful layered feeling from it. This is an experience I have never had before drinking mountain delicacies soup! I have tasted the mountain delicacies soup before.
Although the delicacy soup is quite fragrant, the aroma is mixed together, and once you drink it, you just drank it. Looking back, the feeling is very dull, but the fragrant taste of the mountain delicacy soup cooked by brother Tien is really charming.
Even when I think about it now, I feel like I was deep in the forest after the rain, and the fragrances coming from different fungi interact with each other very clearly, seconds, it’s just too seconds!”
Bai Li commented on Gu Zheng's four dishes and one soup. At the end, he gave Gu Zheng a thumbs up again and couldn't help but gulp down his saliva, appearing to be so unsatisfied.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
"What the young master said is great!"
Applause rang out from all around, and the chefs cheered for Bai Li.
"This applause should be given to Brother Tie. From now on, you must listen to Brother Tie and follow Brother Tie to improve your cooking skills!"
Bai Li motioned to the chef to applaud Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled: "It's not too late for you all to applaud again after Chef Huang finishes his evaluation!"
"Okay, then let me review the four dishes and one soup made by Chef Ti now!"
Huang Ying smiled at Gu Zheng. At this time, her eyes when she looked at Gu Zheng had completely changed, revealing a sense of respect.
"When my nephew first brought Chef Tie here, I thought that Chef Tie was just a young man, and I didn't know what big talk he said to my nephew, so that my nephew wanted him to be the head chef. When Chef Tie cooked the delicacies
When I was making soup, I felt that Chu Ti was really good at it, but I still didn’t think it would be too great! After really tasting the four dishes and one soup made by Chu Ti, I realized that we cooks are not even remotely inferior to Chu Chu Ti.
, there are some ingredients processing that I couldn’t understand before. After tasting the taste of four dishes and one soup, I think I understand a little bit, and I am full of respect and admiration for Chef Ti!"
"I would also like to talk about the stir-fried spring bamboo shoots first. This dish may seem simple, but in fact Chef Tie has done special processing for the spring bamboo shoots. The process of washing the spring bamboo shoots slices with salt water seems very simple, but I think there is a deep meaning in it.
The work is in it! I think it is precisely because of this seemingly simple washing that the spring bamboo shoots are so delicious, and the addictive crispiness must be related to this seemingly simple washing.
After all, it’s just about controlling the heat. Overall, this dish is really good. I have never had such delicious stir-fried spring bamboo shoots before.”
"The highlight of the braised boxing dish is the addition of pork rib soup, but I feel that if I were to make it, even if I knew that I needed to add pork rib soup, I would never be able to make it taste that good. It really feels incredible, if not
Seeing it with my own eyes, I really can't believe that boxing vegetables can absorb so much soup in such a short period of time, and the original tough texture has not been damaged too much. It's really amazing, that kind of
The feeling of the rich meaty soup exploding in my mouth, I can’t help but drool even just thinking about it now. I really didn’t know that ordinary dry meat dishes could be so delicious!”
"While handling the ribs, Chef Ti said that the quality of the ribs had been reduced due to contamination. I was very disdainful at the time! Although I still don't understand why the downgraded ribs taste better than the original ones, I think this
It still has something to do with Chef Ti’s special treatment. We still need Chef Ti to discuss this matter with us. Generally speaking, the cooking method of braised pork ribs is very novel and the taste is very good, whether it is pork ribs or pork ribs.
Yams, or broth."
"In the steamed grass carp dish, the main ingredient itself has not been specially processed by Tie Chu. He only focuses on the soups with different flavors and the control of the heat. This also allows me to control the heat.
It gave me a new understanding. I never thought that the meat quality of grass carp could become so different after the heat is set! It’s delicious. It’s really delicious. In terms of meat quality alone, I feel like I’m eating sea bass that’s more expensive than grass carp.
The feeling of flower fish.”
"The mountain delicacy soup is really wonderful! This soup can be said to be the epitome of Tie Chu's cooking skills. The flavors of several kinds of fungi interact with each other and have distinct layers. This is not something I can imagine anyway. Even if I imagine it, I
I don’t know how Chef Tie does this, is it really just a different treatment of the ingredients?”
When Huang Ying finished speaking, there was applause in the kitchen. The chef is a chef after all. Bai Li just thought it tasted delicious. While Huang Ying thought it tasted delicious, she also had a deep understanding, reflection and doubts, and her doubts were also those of the others.
A chef's doubts.
"I have said before that the deliciousness of food is sometimes determined by the accumulation of details. If you just cook a piece of ribs that have been downgraded due to contamination, and do not add any special processing for comparison, then the difference will be very weak, or even average.
Even the chefs can't taste it. Regarding this, you just need to pay attention to it in the future and don't let the ingredients be contaminated. As for I will grill the ribs, this is a kind of remedy for the quality of the ingredients. I will give it some time later.
You guys talk about some things about food remediation and special processing." Gu Zheng said.
"Chef Tie, I have a question." Li Tong said.
Gu Zheng nodded and motioned for Li Tong to continue.
"Since ordinary chefs can't taste it, is it necessary to handle it so carefully? Diners can't taste it, right? In addition, there doesn't seem to be a big difference between the different grades of ingredients!" Li Tong
smiled.
"Again, the deliciousness of food sometimes comes from the accumulation of details. If you want to be an outstanding chef, then there are some things you need to pay attention to, because you are not only making delicious food for guests, but also
It is also a way to improve your own abilities. As for whether the difference between different grades of ingredients is big or not, the difference is actually not small, especially after the ordinary level! As for what I just said about ordinary chefs not being able to taste it, this conclusion is based on the general
When a chef cooks, for example, if I use two pieces of ribs to cook, one piece is contaminated and the other is not. If the ingredients are processed in the same way and the ingredients are the same, you can taste it.
How big is the difference! After all, the ribs themselves need to be cooked, and they will naturally be affected by the cooking method."
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Li Tong stopped talking and started to think thoughtfully.
"I will now answer Chef Huang's question about Shanzhen Soup. This matter is something that is still unclear. It is an accumulation of experience. When I cook later, you just need to remember it carefully. I believe you
You can quickly make a soup with distinct layers of mountain delicacies.”
Gu Zheng was not very happy after clarifying the confusion for Huang Ying and others. After all, he has not even reached the realm of 'Daoshengyi'. These delicacies in the eyes of Huang Ying and others are really not worth mentioning in his heart.
.
"Don't worry, Chef Tie, I will definitely pay more attention to the food you cook in the future!"
"Me too!"
"I hope Chef Ti will teach us more!"
Hope was shining in the eyes of Huang Ying and others, but not all chefs were like them. A chef named Guo Fei shook his head helplessly.
"Chef Ti's cooking skills are incredible, but does this make sense?" Guo Fei said.
"Guo Fei, what do you mean?"
Huang Ying had already approved of Gu Zheng, but now that Guo Fei said such words, her brows immediately furrowed.
"Our business is not good right now, but fortunately, the speed of cooking is still very fast. If we cook like Tie Chu, the taste of the food will be improved, but the time will be much slower, and even the cost of cooking will be much higher.
!" Guo Fei said.
"Chef Guo doesn't need to worry about this. As long as the food tastes good enough, are you afraid of losing business? Are you afraid that diners won't want to wait? It doesn't matter if the cost is high, you can definitely make it back!" Bai Li said.
"If there are too many diners and new troubles arise, will the Piaoxiang Building see us as a full house and the business is booming?"
Guo Fei's meaningful words made Bai Li frown, and a trace of sadness appeared between his eyebrows.
"Don't worry, just cook the dishes. We'll talk about other things later!" Bai Li said.
"By the way, there is one more thing you don't know, that is, from now on, this place will not be called Mangulou, but will be called Jixiang Xiaozhu!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. As long as he was in this store, it would be difficult for the store's business to fail. At the same time, precisely because he was in this store, if someone wanted to cause trouble, he would have to live with it.
Just close it.
"One piece of grilled crucian carp and one piece of boiled flower peas!"
The waiter's voice announcing the dishes sounded at this moment.
"Chef Tie, what do you think of this dish?" Huang Ying looked at Gu Zheng.
With the recognition of the chefs, Gu Zheng is now considered a real head chef. This is his first business after becoming the head chef. Huang Ying naturally wants to ask him if he wants to do it himself.
"You guys do it! This is the last order of business for this store as it is fully booked."
Gu Zheng paused, looked at Bai Li and said: "The layout of the full house is a bit not good. Later you will find someone to change it according to my requirements. By the way, we will close it for a day and formulate a menu that belongs to Jixiang Xiaozhu."
"No problem, I'll do it right away!"
Bai Li seemed very excited and immediately said goodbye and left the kitchen.
A notice from Tiechu outside the restaurant shows that the craftsmen inside the restaurant are changing the original layout of the restaurant.
Regarding the change in the restaurant's layout, Gu Zheng also wanted a room of his own. Although Bai Li wanted him to live in the Bai family, he preferred to live in the extremely fragrant building.
"Jixiang Xiaozhu? What a weird name!"
"It still sounds good and has a good meaning."
"The restaurant is full of customers and is an old store. Why does Hao Duan Duan need to change its name?"
"Don't you know this? I heard that a head chef came to the crowded restaurant. This was in response to the head chef's request. Not only did they make changes to the store, it is said that the menu also changed as a result! Moreover, they have a new
The new head chef is said to have found trouble with the head chef of Piaoxianglou just today at noon!"
"Ah? What you mean by that is that the building is full. No, why does Jixiang Xiaozhu want to face Piaoxiang Building?"
"This should be it!"
"Hey, Bai Li is still a young man after all, and he definitely doesn't think much about what he does. Although the Bai family is a native of Qingfeng City, if he really wants to compete with Piaoxianglou, I'm afraid there won't be any good results!"
"Don't worry so much, we'll just wait and see."
"To be honest, I'm still looking forward to this Jixiang Xiaozhu. Bai Li dared to hire him as the head chef even though he knew that he had offended Piaoxianglou. I'm afraid that this person's cooking skills are real.
Unusual!"
"Definitely. If your cooking skills are average and you can't even pass Huang Ying's test, I know that Huang Ying's bitch very well. Without certain means, it would be very difficult to get her to give up her position as head chef.
!”
"By the way, what do you think the head chef of Jixiang Xiaozhu looks like? What is his name? How old is he?"
"He looks pretty average. He's in his twenties. I'm not sure what his name is. Anyway, everyone in Jixiang Xiaozhu calls him Tie Chu."
The notice outside Jixiang Xiaozhu attracted many people, and within one day of closure, Jixiang Xiaozhu became the focus of discussion among the residents of Qingfeng City after dinner.
Although Jixiang Xiaozhu is changing its layout, Gu Zheng is not idle. He is teaching the chefs cooking skills as much as possible in the kitchen. Jixiang Xiaozhu will open at noon tomorrow, and there will definitely be many diners with a trying attitude.
, Gu Zheng cannot cook every dish by himself, so training for chefs is necessary.
However, there was only one day, and Gu Zheng couldn't talk about very complicated things. He mainly told the chefs about the special processing methods of ingredients. He didn't expect the chefs to learn the essence quickly, but just wanted them to be able to copy the gourd.
In addition, Gu Zheng also needs to prepare some dishes that take a long time to cook and may be ordered tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Jixiang Xiaozhu officially opened, and many diners who had been waiting outside the door immediately poured into the restaurant.
"this,"
"Is this the case? It's too exaggerated!"
"Is Bai Li going to open a black shop?"
"Isn't it too expensive? The soy sauce chicken that originally cost eighty cents, here it costs one hundred and twenty cents!"
"The boiled pork liver originally costs sixty cents, but here it costs ninety cents!"
"The soy sauce belly that originally cost 100 renminbi, here actually costs 150 renminbi!"
"Dark, it's really too dark!"
As soon as the diners saw the recipe, they were immediately excited and started shouting.
"What are you yelling about?"
The waiter, who was supposed to be polite, suddenly yelled out, and the diners suddenly became quiet. They were stunned by the waiter's yelling, and they didn't expect that a waiter would dare to yell at them.
"A black shop? No matter what the price of each dish is, how can you say we are a black shop? No one forces you to buy it! In addition, this is a very fragrant small building. Don't judge this place by the standards of ordinary restaurants. How dare you be so expensive?
The price is of course reasonable in terms of taste! Moreover, not all dishes have increased in price, there are still some dishes that have not changed in price. If you are not willing to try dishes that taste better and are more expensive, then the price of your order has not increased.
That’s the price of the dish!”
While the diners were being yelled at, the waiter stiffened his neck and said this. If Gu Zheng hadn't told him in advance to be tough, he would never have dared to show such an attitude.
"What did you say?"
The diners who were stunned by the yelling quickly woke up, and someone immediately started yelling too. It was a very shameless thing to be yelled at by a waiter.
"I advise you not to yell, otherwise you will suffer the consequences. This is a very fragrant building, so it is important to keep quiet!"
The waiter pointed to the wall, where there were posted the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu. Anyone who yelled would be treated as making trouble. And, following the waiter's voice, the two Bai family nurses also stood there.
He got behind the waiter, looking like he would throw anyone out if he made a fuss!
People who were a little angry at first calmed down immediately, but some people couldn't stand the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu and immediately left.
"Tie, Chu Tie, is this really good?"
Huang Ying and others were upstairs, and they naturally knew everything about what happened downstairs. Now that they saw someone really leaving like this, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"It's okay, this is just the pain of changing the rules." Gu Zheng said indifferently.
"Tie Chu, is the price really a bit expensive?"
Bai Li is also a little unsure now. Gu Zheng was involved in customizing the price. If he had the final say alone, he would never set it so high no matter what.
"Don't worry, if you follow my plan completely, then the price I set will definitely be higher than now!"
Gu Zheng smiled. Although he has not yet reached the realm of 'Dao Shengyi', he is confident that his cooking skills can whet the appetite of these people. Besides, business cannot be done by everyone, as long as
