I have a role in the heavens

The old man raised his head and glanced at the guests in the lobby of Yipin Restaurant, and sighed. Now, if Yipin Restaurant can pass this test perfectly, it will probably become the most famous restaurant in Sijiu City. There is no shortage of guests.

"Pagoda Pork is a Xianning dish. It is a very famous dish at rural banquets in Xianning. Now it has become a national banquet dish. The strict knife skills and cooking regulations are very strict and can be regarded as the best knife skills in Chinese cuisine. Pork belly must be Cut the pork belly thinly and continuously, and cut the pork belly layer by layer, and each cut must be connected to the next cut and cannot be broken. The thickness of each piece should be consistent, fat and thin, and the cut should be continuous, and finally stacked into a pagoda panel The braised pork should be crispy and delicious."

The old man said this and glanced thoughtfully at Li Ji next to Wang Li. He was a standard cook, tall and fat, with a faint smell of oil smoke on his body. The old man could guess the other person's occupation at once, and some asked curiously.

"Compared with several other dishes, this dish is nothing. It should be your hometown dish for this guest, right?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he reacted and looked at the old man, with a hint of surprise and admiration on his face, and said respectfully.

"You are right, I am from Xianning, and this pagoda meat is a famous dish in my hometown!"

Everyone looked at the old man in admiration. He was indeed well-informed and thoughtful, and they knew the origin of the other person from clues. This showed that the old man's wisdom was beyond compare.

The old man nodded clearly, looked at the admiring eyes of everyone, and continued without any abnormality.

"To say that Pagoda Pork is already a master of knife skills, then Wensi Tofu can be regarded as the first of my country's top ten knife skills. This dish belongs to Huaiyang cuisine among the eight major Jiangsu cuisines. This dish has a long history. , with extremely strict selection of materials, fine knife work, soft, tender and mellow taste, it melts in the mouth. It was created by monk Wensi from Yangzhou during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Yu Yue's "Cha Xiangshi Congchao" records: Wensi's courtesy name is Xifu, Gongshi, It is also good at making tofu soup and sweet syrup porridge. Those who follow his method are called Wensi tofu. It is also called assorted tofu soup in "Tiao Ding Ji"."

"The difficulty of this dish is to cut the soft tofu into thin strips that can be pierced with a needle and the roots are clearly defined. It not only tests the chef's knife skills, but also tests the chef's character. From the beginning to the end, he must remain calm and calm. , it’s definitely not that easy to do!”

When everyone heard that Wensi Tofu was going to cut the soft tofu into shreds, they couldn't help but take a breath and were extremely surprised. They all looked at Wang Li with strange eyes. This is really a ruthless person who wants to kill Yipin Restaurant. Come on, there is no way to survive at all, every dish is so tricky, Yipin Restaurant may be in trouble.

Wang Li naturally has everyone's attention, but his colleagues are enemies. If he does not destroy Yipin Restaurant, his Sichuan Restaurant will not be able to continue to operate. He cannot tolerate his mercy. Yes, it's not easy for anyone. The only one to blame is Yipin Restaurant for blocking his way of making money.

Ma Suqin was originally extremely confident in Ma Hua's craftsmanship, but as the old man continued to explain these dishes, she felt a little worried and secretly frowned. This faint frown made many people feel distressed.

Ma Suqin took a deep breath, looked at Wang Li and others who were somewhat proud, and did not want to show weakness in front of these people, and confirmed again.

"A few of the guests still have something to order. If not, I'll go to the kitchen and place an order!"

Wang Li nodded, stretched out his hand, and said to Ma Suqin.

"Just order these four dishes, I'm looking forward to tasting the craftsmanship of your Yipin Restaurant!"

Ma Suqin looked at the unyielding Wang Li, with a flash of disgust in her eyes, and turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

The back kitchen of Yipin Restaurant was in full swing, and the fire kept rising, illuminating the shadowy figures of several cooking chefs. Ma Hua had already received tips from others, and knew that someone in front of him was deliberately causing trouble, but he heard that the other party was just doing it for After ordering a few dishes, he did not come forward. He reassured the others and asked them not to delay other guests' dishes, and then he got busy.

Ma Suqin walked into the kitchen with a solemn expression, looked at Ma Hua who was busy, and opened her mouth to tell what happened.

Ma Hua smiled slightly, waved his hand, and comforted Ma Suqin.

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter. I'm in the kitchen, so don't worry. I have all the ingredients needed for the boiled cabbage dish. I've almost cooked it. All that's left is to wait for it to simmer slowly. You go to the front and cook it. If they tell me, I will cook other dishes first!”

Ma Suqin breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face. She walked to Ma Hua and gave her a hug. She rarely showed affection to Ma Hua in front of outsiders. This time she also felt the warmth given by Ma Hua. Feeling of security, this revealed his softer side.

Ma Hua smiled and reached out to pat his wife's junior, buried his head in Ma Suqin's long hair, took a deep breath, the fragrance filled the tip of his nose, chuckled, and said to his wife.

"This is a good thing. After this incident, our Yipin Restaurant will probably be overwhelmed. It will be full every day. It really gives me a headache just thinking about it!"

Ma Hua stretched out his hand to hold his forehead exaggeratedly, with a look of depression and headache on his face, which made Ma Suqin couldn't help laughing. After realizing it, she also knew that this was a good opportunity to make the reputation of Yipin Restaurant even greater. It seemed that it was really needed. We have to recruit people for the kitchen, otherwise we might be too busy.

Ma Suqin returned to the lobby and brought the news that MCA was cooking to Wang Li and others, which made them feel uneasy and secretly thought to themselves, it would not be self-defeating!

When everyone heard that Yipin Restaurant had actually made an order, they couldn't help but start a discussion. The Yipin Restaurant was very busy for a while, and even the dinner guests didn't want to leave. Although they vacated the table, they stood aside , waiting to see the fun.

In the back kitchen, all the chefs looked at Ma Hua who was busy quietly, their eyes sparkled from time to time, their faces were full of admiration, and they let out bursts of sighs.

The first thing Ma Hua cooked was the three-no-stick dish. This dish tested the chef's control over the heat the most, but it was easy for him. He stirred the frying spoon in his hand carelessly, and it didn't take long to finish this dish. The three non-stick practices are done.

For the sake of caution, Ma Suqin knew that there was no room for error in this matter, so she personally served the dish to Wang Li and others' table.

At this time, the old man also stood up and came to Wang Li's table, and was invited to comment and be a witness.

Wang Li glanced at the imposing old man, thought for a moment, and said to him.

"You are always an expert, please give me some advice!"

The old man had long been curious about Ma Hua's cooking skills. He was not polite when he heard this. He directly picked up the chopsticks and pushed the non-stick food on the plate. He pushed it easily and it did not stick to the plate. He couldn't help but nodded slightly.
