The food appreciation meeting was finally held among the five major restaurants in Beijing. Although the restaurants and restaurants from outside also showed their own unique skills, they were not on their own home ground. After a period of trying, they still failed to make the final decision.
duel.
But they have become very famous in the capital, and some even occupy a place in the renovated food street.
Zuixian Restaurant, Yipin Pavilion, Zuojia Restaurant, Zhiwei Restaurant and Fuman Restaurant have become the five most eye-catching restaurants.
In order to make people convinced, famous gourmets in Beijing were specially invited to be responsible for this tasting. Even Taifu Su, who always keeps a low profile, was invited. Therefore, the owners of the five restaurants are not sure whether this tasting is fair.
They are all very relieved.
For this food appreciation event, the five restaurants have tried their best. The daily flow of customers in and out of each restaurant can easily tell which restaurant is the most popular.
People thought that Zuixian Restaurant, the initiator, should have the most customers. However, after a period of statistics, it was discovered that, like Zuixian Restaurant, Zhiweiguan, which is also an industry owned by the prince, had become the restaurant with the most customers. Zuixian
The building is only ranked second.
Could it be that the new high-end beef dishes launched by Zuixianlou are not as delicious as advertised? Some people have this idea in their minds.
For this reason, Mu Qingqi also went to Zhiwei Pavilion to taste it once, but it was not as expected. Both the dishes and ingredients were slightly inferior to Zuixianlou. Prince Qi had doubts in his heart, so he sent someone to investigate.
After a while, I realized that the customer flow at Zhiwei Restaurant was actually quite heavy.
It turns out that in order to make the restaurant's reputation better, the owner of Zhiwei Restaurant found some people and spent his own money to have them eat in the restaurant every day. This is how the flow of customers came out.
This is just good-looking for the sake of appearance. On the day of the food appreciation party, it’s not certain who will win?
Finally, the day came when five restaurants and five famous gourmets in the capital were all displayed in front of the people of the capital.
Because there were so many people coming to watch, Mu Qiyue specially found a spacious place as the venue for the competition.
This square-like place had already been arranged by the people he sent. Five restaurants were lined up in front of everyone, and each restaurant was assigned a long table for them to place ingredients and finished products.
Each family's two master chefs and three suitable subordinates used the special ingredients they brought to make fifteen portions respectively. Five portions were tasted by five famous people in the capital who were sitting high. Five portions were randomly selected from the scene.
There are personal tastings, and five portions are tasted by the owners behind the five restaurants. It depends on which restaurant and which dish gets the most points.
Each restaurant prepares its own ingredients, and all dishes are required to be made on site, so some time-consuming and labor-intensive dishes are not suitable here. This limits the production of some dishes. However, because everyone is the same, so
No one has any opinions on these.
Although every chef attaches great importance to this competition and their clothes are clean and tidy. However, Zuixianlou is obviously the most outstanding among them. Both the master chef and the assistant are dressed in the same uniform. Although the master chef and assistant are dressed differently,
That's just a difference in the level.
Among the more than twenty people in complicated clothes, the navy blue clothes of the five people in Zuixianlou were still conspicuous. Some people standing outside the venue who came to join in the fun felt that the people in Zuixianlou were obviously taller than those in other restaurants.
A level. I praised him unconsciously.
"Huh, sensationalizing. I don't know what it means." People's voices were not quiet, and they would naturally be heard by those sitting on the stage at the appreciation seats. Others were fine, but the owners of the four restaurants except Mu Qingqi could not
I don’t like hearing it anymore, especially when I find out that there is really a big difference, I feel uncomfortable, and I will naturally make a voice of dissatisfaction.
Mu Qingqi looked at Prince Yuan, the owner of Zhiweiguan, who was disdainful of this, and secretly laughed in his heart that he was even jealous of such a thing. In order to maintain his proper demeanor, Mu Qingqi ignored Prince Yuan.
In fact, there was no need for them to personally take part in this kind of thing, but because of the huge response caused by the food appreciation event, even the emperor was very interested. He actually asked several times and even specially wrote five big characters in handwriting, First Floor of the Capital.
.Prepare to award to the restaurant with the highest rating.
The emperor's words have been ordered to be carved into a plaque and placed in the center of the venue. It can be said that everyone in the restaurant is looking at this plaque. This represents the emperor's approval and supreme honor.
In addition to the two restaurants backed by Prince Qi and Prince Yuan, the other three restaurants also have profound backgrounds. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a brick to fall and hit ten people in the capital, and nine and a half of them would be officials.
Place a foothold.
Therefore, the people who can sit at the tasting table are also people with good backgrounds. In addition to Taifu Su, there are also the imperial chef Jiang Da, the head of the Beijing Academy Wei Wen, and the recognized gourmet Jiang Ye. The last one is
Mr. Du.
In fact, General Chang wanted to join in the fun, but the ingredients for Zuixianlou were provided by Lin Zhu's Zhuangzi, so he had no choice but to avoid it in order not to offend others.
Mu Qiyue was the one who planned this food appreciation party, so he appointed Lu Mingtao to host this food appreciation party. Lu Mingtao is also a good eater and has a good reputation in the capital. If it weren't for his close relationship with Zuixianlou,
He is also qualified to sit at the tasting table.
So he came to give orders and no one objected.
Lu Mingtao stood in front of the stage and first introduced the tasters sitting there. As for the owners of the restaurant, he omitted them in order not to put pressure on those who came to join in the fun.
Afterwards, he explained the method of the game.
Each restaurant must prepare five dishes, including meat and meat, meat and fish. No one is allowed to leave the enclosure during the cooking period, and there must be no recognizable logo of the restaurant.
Within the stipulated time, the prepared dishes will be brought out by a dedicated person. Before the results are announced, which restaurant will not tell which dish is from which dish. The taster will vote in front of which dish he likes.
A silver medal.
As soon as the rules came out, everyone nodded in approval. The owners of the five restaurants also signed their names on the contract to express their approval.
So, with much anticipation, the food appreciation party began.
General Chang brought Lin Zhu and others to join in the fun. Of course, for people with higher status like General Chang, Lu Mingtao had already arranged seats. Although they did not participate in the tasting, they also had the opportunity to taste the dishes made by each chef.
Dishes served.
Lin Zhu looked around and saw that there were many people sitting in the same seats as herself and others. People from the Lin family, Wang family, Hui'an Hou Zhao family, etc. all came to support her.
Those who are participating are naturally close to the venue, and those who are not participating will not be idle. The place where this food appreciation meeting is located is next to the renovated food street. This street
It was also very lively, and some people were even here
I can find something to eat that I am interested in while waiting for the news of the food appreciation party. It is very comfortable to kill two birds with one stone. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
