Chapter 57
Chen Er greeted the two elders politely.

Gou Kunshan said, "Since my little grandson thinks you can do it, we naturally won't question you too much."

"It's just..." He paused for a moment, and then reminded Chen Er, "The person we're hosting this time has quite a background and is very picky."

Chen Er understood what he meant, and smiled lightly, "I will be careful."

In his opinion, the more picky people are about food, the easier it is to be conquered.

Because it is often difficult for such people to meet and like delicious food, once they meet good ones, they will naturally be conquered quickly.

Gou Xuefang hurriedly took Chen Er to the kitchen.

Gou Yuanling asked his father from behind.

"Is this person a little too confident?"

Gou Kunshan didn't speak.

He naturally knew that Chen Er's dishes were delicious, but the one who was going to come today was notoriously picky.

Hope everything goes well today.

Chen Er turned around and entered Gou's kitchen.

I saw a dozen or so people in chef's costumes standing inside respectfully waiting for them.

Gou Xuefang hurriedly pulled Chen Erdao, "These in front are my own chefs, and the ones behind are professional chefs hired from some big restaurants. You can arrange it yourself."

This is what it means to start?
Chen Er was naturally happy to take a break, but no matter what steps he was cooking, he was not willing to use his hands to others.

After all, the old man of the Gou family just outside also said that the one who will come today is notoriously picky.

It's better for him to come by himself.

So Chen Er only randomly selected a young man who seemed relatively honest and reliable.

Gou Xuefang tugged at him twice, "No way, you can choose a few more people, look at the list you asked me to prepare before, how can you manage so many dishes alone."

Chen Er remembered the business now, and hurriedly asked him to bring in all the ingredients.

Then only the young man was left.

The young man's name is Dou Yitong, and he is a well-known chef's assistant in the Yanjing family.

Today, I was invited by the Gou family to help along with the chef.

He graduated from a professional culinary school and was selected by the chef as his assistant because of his excellent knife skills.

In his opinion, their head chef is already a top expert in cooking. The restaurant where he works has never stopped calling for reservations, and the seats are often booked for the entire month in the first half of the month.

And most of the diners who come here are for the chef's fame.

It can be seen how powerful the chef is.

Today they heard that the Gou family was going to entertain a big person and invited a top chef, so he was thinking all the way, if he could be invited by the Gou family to hold a banquet for distinguished guests, and he would not hesitate to find many chefs to help him, he must He's an awesome character.

I never thought that when I saw him just now, it turned out to be an ordinary-looking young man.

He doesn't talk much, but he looks kind.

Moreover, he was tall and thin, and he didn't smell the slightest bit of oily smoke on his body, so he didn't look like someone in this line of work at all.

After Gou Xuefang left, there were only the two of them left in the kitchen.

Dou Yitong looked at Chen Er carefully until he saw Chen Er coughing several times in succession.

He just came back to his senses, "Your throat is uncomfortable?"

Chen Er glanced at him in disbelief. Could it be that this kid's head is made of elm, and he was reminding him not to stare at him anymore. Couldn't he see that this was an embarrassing signal?
But seeing his clear eyes and serious expression, Chen Er had no choice but to ask him to pour him a glass of water.

Dou Yitong took Chen Er's empty water glass.

Suddenly asked, "Excuse me, what level of chef are you?"

In his opinion, with the strength of the Gou family, the chefs invited will definitely not be too low-level.

Chen Er said casually, "There is no rank."

Dou Yitong was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Chen Er shook his head secretly, why is this kid so dumb, did he choose the wrong person?

I had to tell him to sort the ingredients quickly.

Dou Yitong said, "Could it be that you are a legendary expert?"

He muttered to himself, "It's like the one in the TV series, who doesn't look like a mountain or dew, but possesses special skills?"

Chen Er quickly stopped his thoughts.

This kid is as good as Gou Xuefang.

"Go, shell the chestnuts, put them in a steamer, and steam them over low heat. Put ten crabs in the steamer with ginger and green onion, and steam them over medium heat."

"Yes!" Although Dou Yitong looked dumbfounded, he acted swiftly.

And the thought is delicate, without Chen Er's reminder, I know that the chestnuts and crabs should be steamed separately to avoid the smell.

Chen Er nodded, "Wash the japonica rice twice for later use."

Dou Yitong hurried to wash the rice again.

Chen Er took out the Polygonum multiflorum, washed it clean, and smashed it into small pieces.

Then take out the deer blood deer tendon and put it aside.

Wash the deer tendons and smash them into small pieces.

Dou Yitong couldn't guess what Chen Er was going to do.

He knows a little about these things separately, but he doesn't know what to cook together.

Chen Er took out a purple casserole, put japonica rice on the bottom, then Polygonum multiflorum, deer tendon, and deer blood.

Then let Dou Yitong scoop water out of the big tank.

Dou Yitong saw that the water was very clean, without any impurities, and it was clear and transparent, with a fresh smell.

At first glance, you can tell that it is mountain spring water that has just been transported from the mountains.

There are quite a few people who still cook with mountain spring water these days.

At least Chen Er was the first one he had seen.

In the past, I only heard that some extremely particular people or chefs would do this.

When the water was added to half, Chen Er called to stop.

Then put it on the stove to simmer on low heat.

Dou Yitong had never seen this kind of practice before, so he felt a little uneasy.

"Every chef has his own unique recipe, which is generally not passed on to the outside world. I...Is it not good for me to watch here?"

Chen Er felt that it didn't matter, "These recipes are also passed down from the predecessors, even if they are known, it's okay. If the recipes are tightly held in his hands and cannot be passed on, then it is boring."

Just like delicious food, it will taste more fragrant and delicious when more people eat it together.

Dou Yitong was even more surprised, this was the first time he had seen such a statement.

Chen Er then smelled the sweet aroma of chestnuts coming from the steamer.

Hastily reached out to turn off the fire, and took out the steamed chestnuts.

The steamed chestnuts exude a sweet and hot aroma, and the yellow chestnut flesh is cooked and rotten by the steam.

Chen Er picked up one and squeezed it into two easily.

Put it in your mouth, the hot air wraps the aroma and fills the whole mouth, sweet and glutinous.

Chen Er nodded, "Okay, you mash these chestnuts into puree. Do it before the heat dissipates."

Dou Yitong quickly fetched the hammer and pounded it.

Chen Er also found a live perch from the food pile, removed the scales and guts, and washed it with mountain spring water with crushed ice.

Start the second course.
