Looking at Xiang Feng, he began to cook the whole chicken. His steady hand and the speed of his knife skills made Wang Lan frightened. He opened his mouth wide enough to stuff an egg.
Chopping, slicing, slicing, drawing, picking, peeling, every process was handled perfectly, and although Xiang Feng did not intend to show off his skills, he interpreted every ordinary knife skill to the utmost beauty, revealing the grandeur and calmness in his simplicity, just like
He looks like a chef who has been holding knives for many years, but the greenness of the facial features of the person in front of him clearly shows his age, and the familiarity and calmness between his brows and eyes make this last bit of inconsistency completely disappear.
"What...what do you want to cook?"
Divide the completely processed chicken pieces and the cleaned off viscera into pieces. Xiang Feng pours the chopped ginger pieces and cooking wine into a large iron bowl, then neatly cuts the chicken pieces and throws them in. A pair of joints
Stir the inside of the bowl with clear hands to allow the chicken to be fully combined with the ingredients and immersed in the marinade of cooking wine.
"I know it well, so I won't tell you for now. I'll keep everything a bit mysterious!"
After Wang Lan finished speaking, it was hard for him to continue asking, but Xiang Feng seemed to have remembered something and told Wang Lan——
"Can you please go to the convenience store and buy some things I want?"
Wang Lan was now completely sure that Xiang Feng was definitely a very capable chef. Although he didn't know what his level was, his skills were definitely not bad. After all, he was also fighting for his own restaurant, so he didn't question anything.
Although what Xiang Feng said made her really unable to imagine what kind of dish she could make, she still nodded and rushed out to give Xiang Feng the necessary "auxiliary ingredients" for this dish.
And Xiang Feng was able to focus all his energy on the preparation of dishes, and instead accurately selected several ingredients that met the requirements in his mind from the countless bottles and jars in the kitchen, and the light soy sauce alone was
There are dozens of them, which is dazzling to see.
He also had a problem. He was thinking about how to identify from the ingredient list which of the ingredients were most suitable for the effect he wanted to create. Then he suddenly thought of the mysterious changes that had occurred when he tasted the dishes before. What if he had this sudden change?
Does your tongue have more "functions" that you haven't discovered yet?
So he immediately put out the sauce plates in the kitchen, put dozens of ingredients that he had screened out, and began to taste them one by one.
But Xiang Feng never expected that his tongue could be so easy to use! As soon as he touched a little bit, he immediately reflected the ingredients inside and even the year and technique of brewing directly into his mind. He was overjoyed and immediately poured dozens of
The materials were narrowed down to just a few - and just when he was still struggling to distinguish between the good and bad effects of these materials, one of the ingredients suddenly popped up in his mind, and it became more and more vivid in his mind, even
I have already deduced the role this flavor will play in my own dishes!
He had every reason to believe that it was his tongue's weird power that selected the ingredients that were most suitable for his dishes!
Although he was overjoyed, Xiangfeng still didn't forget what he should do. He quickly put away the sauce plate and then followed the gourd to choose the remaining ingredients, and then started to cook it himself!
Put the chicken into the pot and fry it over slow heat. Flip it over and put in the best ingredients you selected. Soon, a sweet aroma will spread.
The patience of the man who was sitting arrogantly with his legs crossed in the front hall of the restaurant had almost been worn away. When he stood up, he complained impatiently——
"What the hell is that kid doing? If you don't have the skills, I think it's better not to waste my time! Just smash it for me!"
Just as he was instructing people to take action, Xiang Feng walked out of the kitchen dignifiedly and calmly, and the meaty aroma and sweetness of the dishes he carried made people instantly lick their fingers.
“It’s time to serve!”
The chicken seemed to be laid casually and carefully arranged on the dinner plate. The soft and translucent skin of the meat showed an attractive luster under the color of soy sauce, but there was a deep pit in the center of the dinner plate, which did not look good.
For example, the place where the flavor plates are placed, not to mention it is still empty, obviously has the unique intention of the plate selector.
"Is this what you made?" Although there is still a look of disdain on his face, he is still the person in charge of land rent in the food court, and his eyesight and standard can naturally tell that this plate of fried chicken is unusual, but his mouth is still full of disdain.
Unwilling to forgive, "It's not just ordinary roasted chicken. Don't think that it's just because it looks good..."
"Xiang Feng! I bought something for you!"
Wang Lan rushed in carrying a plastic bag. It was obvious that she was in a hurry to buy it, and she was already out of breath when she came back.
Xiang Feng also showed a satisfied smile, walked up to Wang Lan, took what she took out of the plastic bag, and smiled confidently.
The rent collector's men who planned to see what the two struggling men had prepared came forward to take a look, and burst into laughter——
"Hahahaha! I thought it was some good stuff! It turned out to be white wine and coke! What are you going to do, blend it with wine?"
Not only liquor and coke, Xiang Feng also took out a small box from the bottom of the plastic bag, but the other party didn't see clearly what it was, but these two things were enough for them to laugh at.
If you say that the fried chicken just now looks a bit like high-end cuisine, these two things are completely kidding them!
Do you think they are easy to deceive?! What does this kind of thing have to do with fried chicken?
"Boy, if you really have no choice, I won't embarrass you. Take Wang Lan and sign the agreement and get out immediately. You will keep your chicken to appetize me, but as a restaurant chef, you are obviously not strong enough!"
No matter what level of chef Zhang Tiancheng is, if the chicken is fried better, he can threaten to take over for him. What a big joke!
But Xiang Feng just smiled, walked to his own dish, shook the plastic bottle of Coca-Cola, opened the bottle, placed it directly in the center of the deep pit on the plate, and took it out of the box as soon as he opened it.
A small pill-like thing was put in, and then a strange scene appeared——
The whole Coke poured out a lot of water like a fountain. The water splashed on the chicken that was still moist with oil, and immediately released a strange aroma that lingered in the vast space of the restaurant lobby for a long time!
But it wasn't over yet. When all the cola water splashed out and then sank into the deep pit on the plate, Xiangfeng took out a lighter, raised the white wine, opened it, poured it directly on the chicken, lit it one by one, and the whole dish
The food is on fire!
The flame completes the last step of this dish, the charred meat skin looks crispy, tender and refreshing, and the further sublimated chicken looks particularly attractive at this moment.
Finally, Xiangfeng garnished some vegetables and fruits for the plate, and the whole dish came to an end. At this moment, the rent collector had completely forgotten his original purpose, and couldn't help but want to enjoy this plate of high-end cuisine.
He was ready to use his chopsticks in front of the dining table, and Xiang Feng picked up the dinner plate, his eyes full of teasing.
"Of course I can give you the food, but you must agree to a few conditions!"
The rent collector's saliva almost flowed to the ground, and he nodded in agreement without thinking.
"Sure! Just say it! I won't break my word yet!"
"First, if you think my food is delicious enough, you must take your people and leave immediately, and acknowledge my status as the top chef here in the future. Second... you apologize to the landlady!"
The rent collector thought about it and felt that the other party's request was not too excessive, so he nodded.
"Last point, if I can take over my job and run this place well in the future, you will not be allowed to harass me again!"
Seeing the steaming caramelized chicken, the rent collector immediately agreed.
"No problem! Can you let me eat it now?"
Xiangfeng put the dinner plate on the table, pulled out his chair, and smiled.
"Please use!"
He quickly sat on the chair, picked up his elegant chopsticks, picked up a piece of juicy chicken and put it into his mouth. The crispy skin and the tender chicken formed a sharp contrast in his mouth, and the aroma of cola and light liquor bloomed in his mouth.
, both the taste and presentation are impeccable. Just when I was feeling a little tired, I saw the bright red cherry tomatoes on the plate. I picked them up and put them in my mouth. The fresh and sweet taste nicely offset the taste in my mouth.
greasy, and ends up with an extremely refreshing feeling.
It has to be said that Xiang Feng has put first-class care into the design and matching of the dishes, and the unique techniques make the dishes more visual and interesting. As a regular patron of the food court, the rent collector has to admit that
The young man in front of me is fully qualified to be Zhang Tiancheng's successor.
Thinking about his unreasonable behavior just now, the rent collector coughed twice in embarrassment and then smiled.
There is no doubt that he still wants to eat his carefully prepared dishes, so he has to restore his impression no matter what.
And there is no doubt that this young man will make a big difference in the chef world in the future. It is definitely not a bad thing to be able to make friends with such talents.
"You...what's your name?"
"My name is Xiang Feng. If you enjoy your meal, please fulfill your promise. I still have a certain estimate of my level."
The rent collector looked even more embarrassed. He wiped his mouth, stretched out his hand and smiled.
"I was wrong before. A chef like you is fully qualified to work here. Your dishes are completely of five-star standard. So be it, I will definitely not come to bother you again in the future, and the land rent here is
I can give you a 30% discount for your sake!"
Wang Lan's face was very excited. You must know that the land rent here is not cheap. Being able to get a 30% discount is a timely help. After all, Tongxiang Restaurant has been unable to make ends meet since Zhang Tiancheng took a break from work. She excitedly held Xiang Feng's hand.
"Thank you so much! Xiao Xiang! You are simply our lucky star!"
"It's okay! Hehe~" Xiang Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Mrs. Boss, you are such a nice person! I already told you that this is a thank you gift for beef noodles! Don't mind it too much!"
"You can't say that! If you really like to eat, I, Wang Lan, will cook it for you every day!"
"Really? That's great!" Xiang Feng even wiped his saliva, "I haven't had such authentic beef noodles for a long time! I can enjoy it in the future!"
"You're the only one with a sweet mouth!" Wang Lan patted his shoulder and looked tentatively at the dish, "Is your dish an improved one? What's its name?"
"Hmm... I haven't thought about it yet... Why don't we just call it Fire Cola Drunken Chicken!"
He picked up the dinner plate and chopsticks and brought them to Wang Lan.
"Would you like to try it? I think it tastes good!"
As a restaurant owner, Wang Lan's desire to discover food is not low at all, and the rent collector ate so deliciously just now, I have to say that her curiosity and appetite are already ready to arouse.
Picking up a piece of chicken and putting it into her mouth, any gorgeous words were not enough to describe the delicious food. She could suddenly understand the rent collector's flattery and the reason for the discount.
Xiangfeng's strength and potential are completely worth doing this! Even far more than this gift!
Once again, she felt lucky for her inadvertent act of kindness. She was now full of hope for the revitalization of Tongxiang Restaurant. It had been a long time since Xiang Feng finished eating the beef noodles, and the young man's stomach made an unsatisfactory sound again.
"Uh...Sister Lan...I'm hungry again...can you..."
The embarrassment on his face looked completely amusing. Wang Lan smiled and patted her chest.
"You, Sister Lan, don't know how to cook more than one dish. I'll make you some home-cooked food first! Don't dislike it!"
"Of course! Can I observe it? I'm looking forward to it!"
The two walked to the kitchen. Wang Lan put on her apron and took out the risen dough. She cut it into small pieces and wrapped it into various kinds of pasta, dumplings and yuanxiao. She quickly got out of the pot and baked scallion noodles and noodles.
Fresh beef hand-made noodles.
Xiang Feng looked at the increasing amount of pasta in front of the dining table, and his stomach rumbled unsatisfactoryly again.
"Sister Lan, it's okay, it's okay! I don't like wasting food, I will starve to death if I continue like this!"
Wang Lan served the last dish with a smile, and then sat across from Xiang Feng.
Xiangfeng immediately ate Wang Lan's food like a storm, praising it as he ate, and his mouth was stained everywhere. Wang Lan looked at him with a smile while handing him tea.
"Your cooking skills are very good, and your talent is definitely not low, but you also have a very good teacher, right?"
Xiang Fengchi finished the last dumpling, burped, touched his belly and thought -
"Well... the old man wouldn't let me reveal my identity to the public. After all, it's very troublesome!" He tried his best to recall the past, "I was taken in by the master when I was five years old, and then I started to learn from him in the kitchen. Now, although I can say
I have inherited all his legacy, but my level is less than one-tenth of his level!"
Wang Lan was indescribably shocked. Xiang Feng's strength could rival Zhang Tiancheng's with a little training in the future. Even if it was his humble statement, his master's cooking skills would definitely be much better than his. Then
What kind of amazing cooking master is he?!
"By the way, it's getting late now. Do you have any luggage? Let me take you to see your dormitory. Because everyone else has left, you can live alone now. It's quite spacious!"
Xiang Feng picked up the cloth bag that had been placed in the corner of the front hall with some embarrassment, and then led Wang Lan to a small courtyard behind the restaurant. Zhang Tiancheng did not live here. Wang Lan said that the chef
To control the situation in the restaurant, he has been living in a compartment above the restaurant. After Zhang Tiancheng's arm was injured, the place was also in chaos. Xiang Feng looked at the unique little courtyard, marveling at the same time and feeling very lucky. It is indeed a century-old heritage.
It's a time-honored brand, and its conditions are better than any before.
Land prices in Shanghai are not cheap, and being able to rent out a separate courtyard for a chef to live like this is really too luxurious, and it only strengthens my determination to develop here.
After packing up my things, I was very tired today. Xiang Feng lay down carelessly, looked at the ceiling, and soon fell asleep.
He was only eight years old at that time. Today is the junior sister's birthday, but the master went on a business trip and did not come back. The little junior sister was very angry and locked herself in the room and refused to come out.
Xiangfeng stood outside her door holding Mingtian's favorite osmanthus cake. It took him half a day to cook the osmanthus cake with coconut milk, and he repeatedly asked the chef for advice before touching it.
I understand the taste that my junior sister likes.
"Tiantian! Master, he can't help himself, so just come out and have something to eat! The birthday boy can't go hungry on his birthday!"
Mingtian's crying voice came from inside——
"Dad, he doesn't want me anymore! He won't even accompany me on my birthday! I won't eat!"
"But I've been making sweet-scented osmanthus cake for a long time! And I also prepared your favorite honey milk, it's hot!"
Xiangfeng naturally knew the temperament of his junior sister, and had already brought milk and mille-feuille cakes to wait outside. Sure enough, the door opened, and a little girl wearing Hanfu showed her head.
"You...will you come in?"
Xiang Feng was a little embarrassed——
"Master told me not to enter your room! After all, you are a girl! Senior brother put the things outside, you have finished eating and I will come and collect them..."
Her white and tender hands grasped Xiang Feng's sleeve, and Mingtian looked at Xiang Feng with tears in her eyes.
"No! You stay with me! Otherwise, you are just perfunctory with me!"
Xiang Feng had no choice but to sit on the threshold and hold Mingtian's hand——
"Okay, okay, after you finish eating, how about we go to the temple fair? I will take out all my pocket money and let you have fun!"
While Ming Tian was eating the soft and glutinous osmanthus thousand-feuille cake, she secretly lamented that Xiang Feng's craftsmanship had improved a lot. She thought that she had to work hard and not be left behind by her childhood sweetheart. After all, the two of them had made an appointment.
We want to become chefs together!
The soft sweet-scented osmanthus cake entered her mouth, and then she drank the warm honey and milk. After she was satisfied, the girl opened the door, only to see that Xiang Feng had fallen asleep from exhaustion. The young man's clear face looked particularly handsome under the breeze, even though he was
After watching him for so many years, she still thinks that her senior brother is the most handsome boy in the world.
Of course, she would never say that she wanted to be his bride again. After all, after that time, her father's revenge made Xiang Feng do hard work for a whole week.
She sat next to Xiang Feng and poked his face with her fingers. The feeling was irresistible, and Xiang Feng slowly woke up, opened his eyes subconsciously, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and smiled cutely.
"Tiantian is awake, wait for me, clean up the house and then we will go out!"
Xiang Feng was always very efficient. After getting everything ready, he put on his windbreaker and began to comb Mingtian's hair and change clothes. It was late autumn now. The weather was very good, but he had to keep warm. The girl put on her clothes.
He put on cotton socks and a heavy little skirt. He put a headband made by Xiang Feng himself on her head, and finally tied the headband. After everything was done, Xiang Feng put a simple big backpack on his back and locked the door of his house.
After that, he held the little junior sister's hand and walked out.
The two children are very lovable. In addition, the neighbors have received more or less help from Xiang Feng. Mingtian is also the daughter of Master Ming. The two of them naturally attracted much attention when they came out. The town is far away from the location of the temple fair.
There was still a long way to go, so the uncle driving a tricycle offered to take the two of them there, so Xiangfeng carried Mingtian into the tricycle and drove all the way, and soon arrived at the place where the temple fair was held.
It was already dark, and fireworks were blooming under the sky. Mingtian's eyes were filled with bright fireworks. She grabbed Xiang Feng's hand and rushed into the temple fair. She quickly bought a lot of gadgets, which Xiang Feng carefully kept in her pocket.
In the backpack.
Mingtian was full after eating, and when she looked at Xiang Feng, who was barely enjoying it, and thought that it was her senior who had been paying all the time, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Brother Xiangfeng! What do you want? Tiantian will buy it for you!"
Xiang Feng shook his head and touched Mingtian's hair.
"I'm very happy if I have this kind of heart. Today is the birthday girl's home court, how can I let you spend money?"
"But senior brother has already done a lot today! And dad said that it is not a good boy to be ungrateful! Just don't refuse!"
After that, Mingtian took Xiang Feng to a stall selling trinkets and asked Xiang Feng which style he liked.
"Then... let's take this one!" Xiang Feng looked at Mingtian and picked out a pair of cat pendants. He handed the pink cat to Mingtian, "I just want this, you take this."
.”
Mingtian was very happy that her senior brother was able to choose the pendant she liked, but she didn't know that Xiang Feng was completely following her wishes.
"Thank you, senior brother, I will treasure it well!"
The two of them returned home after paying the bill, but Mingtian slept until night and knocked on Xiang Feng's door.
Xiang Feng was still wearing pajamas. Looking at the tearful Mingtian, he immediately knew what had happened.
Normally, the master would watch her sleep, but now that he was away, she would definitely not be able to sleep.
"Brother Xiangfeng! The room is so dark! Tiantian is scared! Can you let me sleep here for one night?"
He had no reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to send Mingtian into the room with a smile. After closing the door, he took out a bedding from the cabinet and put it on the floor.
"Brother Xiang Feng! Aren't you going to sleep with me?!" Mingtian has been spoiled since she was a child and cannot understand Xiang Feng's behavior at all.
"Tiantian! Master would have punished me if he knew you were sleeping in my room. You can't push yourself any further!"
Xiang Feng was a little embarrassed, but Ming Tian argued hard.
"But last year we often slept together! Brother, you can also tell Tiantian stories!"
The girl's face was bulging with anger, like a pink bun. Xiang Feng kept insisting, and the girl's face immediately fell down.
"No! I want my brother to sleep with me! It's my birthday! Can't you satisfy even this wish?!"
The girl's cry immediately made Xiangfeng unable to resist, so he had to walk to the bed, stretched out a hand and put it on Mingtian's hand.
"I'll sit with you, don't make any more trouble!"
Mingtian is still a little worried——
"But won't this be tiring?"
"When you fall asleep, I will make the bed on the floor. Be good, and I will tell you a story."
Soon, Tomorrow fell asleep with Xiang Feng's company. Looking at the girl's pretty sleeping face, Xiang Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, gently caressed her cheek, and smiled.
"Happy birthday, my cutest little angel!"
Turning around and lying down, when the next day's sunlight shone in the room, Xiangfeng got up early and made a bowl of hand-rolled longevity noodles. When they brought it to Mingtian's room, the girl also got dressed in a fuss-free manner.
Xiangfeng put the prepared hand-rolled noodles on the table, and helped Mingtian put on the remaining clothes. After the two washed up, they started eating noodles. The morning passed quickly, and Xiangfeng took over the meal of the couple next door.
As he was preparing to go out, Mingtian stuck behind him.
"Tiantian! I have to go out to do something. You stay at home obediently. Lunch is ready and placed on the stove. You can just heat it up..."
"No! You are the one who goes out to take orders every time! Tiantian is now a chef on her own! You can help me by taking me out too!"
"This is a wedding banquet! You are too young and there are many people there. How can I explain to the master if you get lost?!"
"I don't care, I don't care! If you don't take me there, I will go with you myself! It'll be up to you what you do then!"
Unable to resist Mingtian, he had no choice but to take her to the wedding banquet. Fortunately, the couple didn't care too much. They also praised Xiangfeng for being such a smart junior and brought his sister out to take the order. They made room for Xiangfeng.
, all the nearby chefs knew that Xiang Feng was the direct disciple of Master Ming Gang, so they didn’t care too much, and all helped Xiang Feng. Soon all the dishes for the banquet were prepared, while Ming Tian prepared all the desserts and
The soup ingredients are all prepared and it is bound to give all the guests attending the wedding banquet a tasteful experience.
Sure enough, all the guests at the wedding banquet were full of praise for the dishes, and even wanted to make an appointment with Xiang Feng alone to invite him to their own banquet. The couple was also very happy and gave Xiang Feng half of the reward.
After Xiangfeng and Mingtian got the money and returned home, their master Minggang happened to arrive home as well.
