Chapter 224 Xu Tongdao's Harvest (4/5)

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

When Zhang Fafa and others left, he was in a beautiful mood.

Huang Anmin was also very happy when he left. Zhang Fang's final statement was equivalent to saying: As long as they can agree on salary after the year, there will be no problem if he takes over the Zhiweixuan business.

This is naturally a great joy for him.

If a chef reaches his age and cannot become a head chef, then he will not be able to develop much in the rest of his life.

Unless you make up your mind to go out and try to open a store by yourself.

However, in the years they have been working as chefs, they have seen many examples of colleagues quitting their jobs to open restaurants, only to lose everything.

Facts have long proven that chefs who are good at cooking may not necessarily have good business capabilities.

But, how easy is it to jump from a spoon chef to a head chef?

When hiring a head chef for a large or high-end hotel or restaurant, the first thing they will usually do is ask him where he worked as a head chef before.

The more you have never been a head chef, the less chance you have of becoming a head chef.

This is very similar to those who have just graduated from school more than ten years later when they go out to look for jobs. Employers always like to ask them what work experience they have.

If you don’t have work experience, people won’t want you.

Before leaving, Huang Anmin expressed his gratitude to Comrade Xu again and again with a very sincere attitude. He held Comrade Xu's hand with both hands and did not let go for a long time.

After he left, Xu Tongdao saw Xu Tonglin and others tasting the remaining bits of beggar's chicken. Xu Tongdao squinted his eyes and walked over, found a strand of shredded meat from the lotus leaves and put it into his mouth.

Taste it.

When Zhang happened to eat with them just now, they didn't eat very cleanly. He probably wanted to maintain the restraint of the big boss and the woman! Anyway, there was some leftover.

After tasting it, Comrade Xu nodded slightly.

Huang Anmin made this beggar's chicken very tasty, neither salty nor bland, and the aroma and umami flavor were really full.

Judging from the chewiness and umami flavor of the shredded chicken, this chicken must have been specially selected by Huang Anmin.

If the meat quality is not good, it means that it is not a hen that is several years old. If the meat quality is not too loose, it means that it is not this year's chicken.

Judging from the size of this chicken and its black and slender feet, it should be a native chicken raised in the countryside or one that grew up eating rice.

During the food tasting today, Comrade Xu seemed to be just acting as a middleman and gained nothing.

In fact, this is not the case, he succeeded in stealing the teacher.

Huang Anmin witnessed almost the entire process of making this beggar's chicken with his own eyes.

Except for when Huang Anmin first started marinating the chicken, Xu Tongdao missed it by about a few minutes. He saw all the other processes.

The marinade used by Huang Anmin to marinate the chicken is not complicated. Comrade Xu has long memorized it in his heart. His memory is not bad to begin with, otherwise he would not have become one of them in the third and fourth grades of junior high school during the high school entrance examination.

class, one of five people admitted to the County No. 2 Middle School.

In fact, it wasn't just the beggar's chicken. In fact, Comrade Xu had written down the recipes for several of the dishes Huang Anmin cooked today, including the mushroom king soup.

This is not only due to his good memory, but also due to his good cooking skills.

As the saying goes: laymen watch the fun, insiders watch the door.

He has a good foundation in cooking and a strong learning ability, and Huang Anmin didn't cook many dishes today. It's not difficult for him to remember the recipes of Huang Anmin's dishes.

Although, he may not be able to copy the dishes Huang Anmin cooked today.

But after imitating 70% to 80%, he is still confident.

Compared with several other dishes and King Fungus Soup, Xu Tongdao was more interested in this dish of beggar's chicken.

He plans to try cooking it several times with his own hands in the next few months. It doesn't matter if he can't imitate 100% of the taste. He believes that as long as he tries it enough times and combines his own cooking experience and experience, he will be able to

The recipe of Beggar's Chicken has been slightly adjusted.

Even if he can't 100% replicate the effect created by Huang Anmin, he should be able to create another beggar's chicken with a different flavor.

This... involves a question of authenticity and non-authenticity.

If the beggar's chicken made by Huang Anmin is defined as "authentic".

Then the beggar's chicken that Comrade Xu improved later was an "unauthentic" beggar's chicken.

But this point was exactly something that Tongdao Xu never cared about.

In the original time and space, during the years when he was a chef, he learned and improved his cooking skills quickly. In fact, a very important reason was that he never thought of 100% copying the effects of others.

Including his master at the time - Ge Liangcai.

Tongdao Xu never thought that every dish he cooked would be exactly the same as what Ge Liangcai cooked.

Because he knows that it is a thankless task.

It is too difficult to make a dish exactly like others.

But if you change your mind and think about other people's cooking techniques and principles, and then combine your own ideas to come up with a dish that satisfies you, it will be much easier.

As for, authentic or not?

Is it that important?

As long as the dish you modified tastes great, what does it mean if it's not authentic?

Learning to cook is not like a test paper when you were a student. There are standard answers. Anyone who does not meet the standard answers is wrong.

Xu Tongdao believes that there is no standard answer to cooking, and whether it is authentic or not is just a false name.

When you actually make a dish and serve it to the guests, how many guests will care whether it is authentic or not?

For more than 99% of the guests, as long as your dish is delicious, then it’s OK.

Otherwise, no matter how authentic it is, it is still bullshit.

It's not that Comrade Xu is conceited, the fact is that he learned cooking skills in the original time and space. During the years he was a chef, he really never saw anyone who made faster progress in cooking than him.



Early this morning.

After the store closed, Xu Tongdao returned to his residence, found a pen and paper, and recorded every step and technique of Huang Anmin's cooking of the dishes today.

Then study the recipe for beggar's chicken that I wrote down in detail.

That night, he slept very late.



In the last few days of the year before, Comrade Xu became busier than before.

Everyone in the Zhiweixuan kitchen was as busy as a spinning top. Not even Luo Zongping and Luo Zongshan had time to steal Xu Tongdao's whole-sheep feast.

Tongdao Xu originally wanted to take some time to go back to his hometown before the Chinese New Year to visit his mother, brother and sister. He wanted to give them some money, make some New Year's greetings, and tell them that he would be busy during the Spring Festival.

Only then did I have time to go home.

But in the past few days before the year, he was so busy that he couldn't spare even half a day.

In desperation, he could only give Xu Tonglin half a day off and let Xu Tonglin go back to his hometown alone, and help him bring some money back home and a few words.
