Chapter 349 The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead
The waiter was dumbfounded. Although he understood and spoke Chinese, he didn't understand a word the chef said to the young Chinese.
When Gu Ming saw Gu Zheng, he spoke his hometown dialect. Don't talk about him. People in other parts of the country could not understand it. Fortunately, the waiter had a good look and at least he could tell that the two knew each other.
Not a real kicker.
"Give!"
Entering the back kitchen, Gu Ming pushed Gu Zheng to a kitchen counter without saying a word and pushed a pile of kitchen utensils to him.
"What is this doing?"
Gu Zheng looked confused. He met his father in this way. He thought his father would be very surprised and happy, but he didn't expect it to be such a result.
"You said you can do it better than me, then make it and let everyone see it!"
After Gu Ming finished speaking, he clapped his hands again and said to more than a dozen people in the kitchen: "This is my son. He just won the first place in the food competition in my motherland. Everyone, come over and see how he cooks.
I believe you will definitely gain something!”
What Gu Ming and Gu Zheng said before was all in Shencheng dialect. The people in the kitchen couldn't even understand Chinese, let alone what they said. However, Gu Ming used French later and everyone understood it.
Hearing what he said, everyone turned around curiously and looked at Gu Zheng.
They already have a certain understanding of Gu Zheng. The Huaxia Food Competition is not only the most famous in China, but also has a high reputation in the world. In addition, Gu Ming itself came from the competition, so the chefs here have a certain understanding of the food competition.
It is not easy to win first place in such a competition, and everyone here knows that Gu Zheng is Gu Ming’s son. After Gu Zheng won the first place, they even congratulated their chef, which made Gu Ming happy for several times.
sky.
Now that they saw Gu Zheng himself, and he had to cook in front of them, everyone showed curiosity and interest.
"Dad, it's not true, is it?"
Gu Zheng smiled bitterly. He had just arrived in France and Paris, and before he had any rest, he was caught by his father cooking. How could there be such a father?
However, who asked him to seek his own death and come over to kick the gym without notifying him in advance? It is no wonder that others have such a result.
"What do you mean, do it quickly. Don't think that if you get first place, you will be able to raise your tail. I will be your dad wherever you go!"
Gu Ming glared fiercely, and he still spoke in his hometown dialect, which only Gu Zheng himself could understand. Gu Zheng shook his head helplessly, and could only take the kitchen utensils over and go to the ingredients nearby to look for raw materials.
This is a three-star restaurant with Michelin stars, and the selection of ingredients is very strict. The quality of the beef Gu Zheng received was actually sub-class, sub-class beef. This was not easy.
Gu Zheng made a brief inquiry and found out that all the beef came from pure natural pastures in New Zealand and were raised under strict management. They would not take the bad ones and only wanted the best parts.
Although inferior beef is rare, it is not impossible. No boss in China can raise inferior chickens. There must also be people abroad who can raise other inferior ingredients. In the current environment of the earth, as long as we are serious, inferior will still be
It's achievable, but if it's ordinary, it depends on luck and luck.
Just like the sky in Hangzhou, they have grown a lot of inferior wheat, but only that piece of land has reached the ordinary level, and other places cannot. This can also be seen from the difficulty of the ordinary level.
The beef was second-rate, and the other ingredients were also of good quality. Several of them were second-rate, and the rest were all above low-grade, and none were below low-grade.
Michelin restaurants are indeed very strict in management.
With good ingredients and good cooking skills, you can make better food.
Gu Zheng doesn't cook much Western food. Just because he doesn't cook a little doesn't mean he doesn't know how to cook it. With Gu Ming as his father, how can he know how to do it? Besides, Tiexian's cooking skills are all in common with each other. Even if he doesn't know how to cook it, he won't be too good at it.
Difference.
With the help of Xianli, the beef can be processed better, making every bit of beef smooth, tender and delicious.
Gu Zheng first handled the beef. His handling was quite satisfactory, with no highlights. However, after Gu Ming touched the beef he had handled, he was stunned. Based on his experience, just by touching the beef, he could tell that it was better than the beef he had handled before.
Even better.
Gu Zheng had the cheating device of immortal power, and no matter how experienced Gu Ming was, he couldn't beat him.
Gu Ming didn't say anything. Every step of a good meal was important. Good handling of the ingredients didn't matter. The focus was on the cooking. He just stood by and watched Gu Zheng cook there.
Gu Zheng made fried steak. He quickly completed the preparation and put the beef on it.
Frying beef requires very high heat. Gu Zheng has the fire control technique and magical power, which makes it very easy. The beef should not be fried too long, nor should it be fried too lightly. Every time you turn the beef, you must be very particular.
With the help of immortal power and magic, Gu Zheng did all this very easily. After a while, he brought out the golden beef.
"Is this good?"
Gu Ming was in a daze. Gu Zheng had obviously not enough time. In this time, the steak could only be medium-rare at most. It is not that the steak cannot be eaten if it is medium-rare, but it is difficult to cook it well. Gu Ming also knew that Gu Zheng did not
How much experience do you have in cooking steak?
"alright!"
Gu Zheng nodded vigorously, of course, it was just a fried steak, nothing complicated, he had indeed finished it.
"good!"
Gu Ming didn't ask, he just walked over, cut off a piece with a knife and fork, and gently put it into his mouth. Soon, his eyes widened.
"You guys should try it too!"
After a while, he said something to the other people around him. These people had been waiting for a long time. After hearing his words, they all ran over immediately. You and I, one by one, quickly finished carving up the steak.
The eyes of those who have eaten it are as round as Gu Ming's. It only takes one minute of cooking time, and the steak is actually medium rare, and it is very evenly cooked, not only retaining the fresh gravy,
It also makes the beef tenderer and more flavorful.
This steak tastes really great, definitely not inferior to the steak made by Gu Ming himself.
No less than they were just thinking about Gu Ming's face. If they hadn't been working together with Gu Ming for so long, they would have said that the taste of this steak was already stronger than that of their chef Gu Ming.
The old Chinese saying is indeed true, a young man is better than a young man. This son of Gu Ming is really powerful.
"It's very good. You can make such a flavor in a hurry. It seems that you have put in the effort and you do have talent!"
Gu Ming sighed and said that his son did have a certain talent in cooking. He had discovered this a long time ago, but he didn't expect that his son's talent would be so good and out of control. Now he is better than him.
I am going to become stronger.
This really made him feel a little sad.
His son has grown up, and Gu Zheng is very happy.
His son achieved better results. Gu Zheng was very proud, but being surpassed by his own son made Gu Zheng feel really bad. At least in terms of cooking skills, he would not be able to educate his son in the future, and it would be difficult for him to even give suggestions.
.
At least for the steak Gu Zheng made today, apart from the production process, he was speechless and couldn't fault it at all.
The production process is very important, but the process serves the final taste. As long as the taste is good and can be recognized, it is a successful process. What can be said about a successful process?
Gu Ming was very melancholy. Like most fathers, they feel melancholy after being surpassed by their sons.
“Chef, really great!”
Finally, someone spoke up and extended a thumbs up to praise the food in Guzheng. If the food is delicious, it is delicious. They will not deliberately deny this.
What's more, it was made by the chef's son, and they believe their chef is even prouder.
"Yeah, it's really great!"
Many people followed suit and extended their thumbs, and some even looked at the plate. Unfortunately, there was nothing on the plate, and even the remaining juice was snatched away by the clever Xi'an.
"That's right, well done, very good!"
Gu Ming finally nodded. He did not ask Gu Zheng how he cooked the steak to medium rare in such a short time. This was a technical problem. Even if Gu Zheng was his son, he would not ask about this technique in public.
question.
After receiving his father's affirmation and approval, Gu Zheng also smiled. Perhaps only in front of his father, he is the child who will never grow up.
"Why did you come to France suddenly? Is there something else?"
At this time, Gu Ming finally asked the question. Gu Zheng came quietly. It wasn't until he came to the store to make trouble that Gu Ming didn't know his son was around. But why he came, Gu Ming didn't know.
"I want to come see you, but there is one more thing. France invites me to participate in a food festival!"
Gu Zheng said the purpose of his visit this time. In fact, for him, the food festival was secondary. It was true that he came to see his father. He hadn't gotten together with Gu Ming for a long time.
"You're talking about that food festival in Lyon?"
Gu Ming suddenly frowned. Everyone else had gone to do their work. Only the father and son were chatting there. They were still using their native dialect, which others could not understand at all.
"That's right, dad, did you accept the invitation too?"
Gu Zheng nodded, Lyon is a big city in France and also the food capital of France. This food festival is held in Lyon.
"I accepted the invitation, but I declined it!"
Gu Ming nodded. The Lyon Food Festival is also a very important food event in France. A famous chef like him will definitely be invited. In fact, he will be invited every year, but he has never been there again after going there once.
"Why?"
Gu Zheng was a little surprised. Although the Lyon Food Festival was only a domestic event in France, it was also quite famous internationally. Otherwise, Gao Changhe would not have left such an invitation.
"Let's put it this way, the Lyon Food Festival has become a game for nobles and is not suitable for common people to participate. But since you have agreed, you might as well go and see it!"
Gu Ming explained to Gu Zheng, telling him all his views on the Lyon Food Festival.
The two of them are father and son, and they have nothing to say. Since Gu Zheng agreed, he must go. If he doesn't go, it will have a bad impact on Gu Zheng's reputation. No one likes people who don't keep their promises.
According to Gu Ming, the Lyon Food Festival was okay at the beginning, and it did promote various kinds of food and enhance the reputation of the city of food. However, as time went by, the Lyon Food Festival gradually became a place for nobles to compete and show off.
Every year at the Lyon Food Festival, many European aristocrats gather. The aristocracy in Europe is different from that in China. There are many aristocratic families here that have lasted for hundreds of years. Some aristocrats are lonely, and some aristocrats are still living a good life relying on their ancestral property.
Well, these nobles usually live a boring life, so they go around looking for fun.
The Lyon food scene has become a pleasure for them. It is not that they themselves participate, but the chefs they hire participate. Whoever cooks the best will be the most proud.
It's nothing like this, but I don't know since when, these people also added gambling to it, and even bookmakers even offered handicap.
As a result, a purely gourmet event changed its nature and became a place for gambling and fun for some people, and began to have secret operations. Therefore, it was disliked by many pure gourmets, and some people stopped participating.
Although Gao Changhe inquired about this event, he was not in France or Europe after all. He could only make superficial inquiries and did not know much about it, so he left it to Gu Zheng.
"So that's it, then I'll just go and have a look when the time comes!"
Gu Zheng didn't like it when he heard about gambling, but unfortunately he had already agreed. Just like Gu Ming said, since he agreed, he might as well go and have a look.
You can refuse if you don't agree, and others won't say anything. If you agree but don't go, that's a sign of letting go and not keeping your promise and reputation. This will really have a bad impact on the future.
"Okay, you haven't found a place to live. How dare you ask me to break your legs!"
Gu Ming smiled and looked Gu Zheng up and down again. When Gu Zheng arrived in France and came to his side, if he dared to say that he wanted to live outside, Gu Ming would really dare to beat him.
"No, I'm not looking for it!"
Gu Zheng waved his hands hurriedly, he really wasn't looking for it, but even if he was looking, Gu Ming couldn't do anything. As for breaking his legs, it was impossible.
Gu Zheng stood there without using any force. Gu Ming could not break Gu Zheng's legs with his own strength. Now Gu Zheng's own body was already very strong. Ordinary people could not break Gu Zheng's legs just by relying on their own strength.
hurt him.
Of course, he would not tell Gu Ming these words, he just thought about them in his heart.
"It's okay if you don't have it. I'll cook some dishes for me when I get home later, and we'll have some drinks!"
Gu Ming nodded lightly. Now Gu Zheng's cooking skills are better than him. Of course, the cooking task is left to his son. Thinking of this, he felt a little sad. Every time he went home, it was Gu Zheng who pestered him.
He was asked to cook delicious food, but now he actually did it the other way around, and he did it the other way around when he was still in his prime.
"Okay, as ordered!"
Gu Zheng smiled and agreed. He would make some delicious food without Gu Ming's instructions.
When he makes delicacies, he doesn't just let Gu Ming eat them. The delicacies he makes will include some things that are good for the body, as well as apricots. He will also give some to Gu Ming to improve his physique.
Although Gu Ming's health has always been good, he is just an ordinary person after all. Only after Gu Zheng's dietary improvement can he truly be free from all diseases in the future. At least Gu Zheng will no longer have to worry about his father because of his health.
