Food starts with noodles

However, everyone's reaction was very cold, and only Tian Chengrun responded with a few sentences from time to time, and everyone else half-heartedly ignored it.

"He is Ji Wenxuan? He really looks like an imperial envoy..."

After Xu Zhuo walked over, Zheng Guangyao waved to him: "Xiao Zhuo, come here, say hello to Master Ji from the capital."

Yuan Desheng introduced with a smile: "Master Ji is not an outsider this time. If it weren't for him, your grandfather wouldn't have beaten Lao Dai back then, and the two wouldn't have been out of touch for decades..."

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment. Was the chef who was bullied by Dai Zhenting at the back of the state banquet that year Ji Wenxuan?

Really...

it's fate!

Chapter 763 Ji Wenxuan from the capital

Ji Wenxuan didn't have the aggressive aura of the imperial envoys in ancient costume dramas, nor did he have the attitude of the people in the capital with their eyes above their heads.

Some are just full of embarrassment and helplessness.

He actively searched for topics, but got no response.

Tian Chengrun, who was the only one who paid attention to him, was also mostly running on him.

It's not that these old men have a bad temper or don't know how to behave. On the contrary, they opened a shop in the early years to do business, and they have basic skills in what they say to anyone they meet.

It's just that at this age, I don't want to deliberately cater to anything.

I prefer to do whatever I want to say and do.

Ji Wenxuan looked at Xu Zhuo's eyes, and said in surprise, "This kid is exactly the same as Brother Xu when he was young..."

The old man sneered: "Old Ji, if you come to reminisce about the past, we welcome it very much, but if you persuade us to rejoin the Culinary Association, then forget it..."

Ji Wenxuan took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "Brother Xu, I really misunderstood this time. I will explain it to you personally. Can't you see the sincerity of the association?"

The old man looked at him seriously: "Aren't you a director in the association? What kind of sincerity is this? If you want to show sincerity, you must at least have a chairman, right?"

Ji Wenxuan stopped talking.

Tian Chengrun teased at the side: "Old Ji, you don't really think of yourself as an imperial envoy, do you? Tell brother, how much benefit has this association given you? If there is more, we will share points,"

His tone had a feeling of "brother, post the group number, everyone can make money if you have money".

Ji Wenxuan smiled awkwardly: "It's all his own business, what's good or bad..."

This awkward atmosphere made Xu Zhuo a little uncomfortable.

He really wanted to ask Ji Wenxuan why he came all the way to be ridiculed.

But Xu Zhuo opened his mouth, but he didn't ask the question in the end.

At the end of Yu Peiyong's speech, he announced something.

"As the honorary dean of the Culinary and Tourism College of Yangzhou University, I now officially announce that the college has listed Sifang Restaurant as a key practice base for students. I hope everyone can make progress together."

At first glance, this matter seems a bit irrelevant.

But for the chefs present, the significance is very great.

First of all, Yu Peiyong actually became the honorary dean. This news shocked all the chefs.

Today, can the social status of chefs finally be improved?

A chef's role as dean of a university, although honorary, is also of extraordinary significance.

Even Ji Wenxuan, who was looking for a topic for an awkward chat, was in a daze.

"Honorary Dean? Is this true or false?"

Yuan Desheng said with a smile: "We are all visiting professors, and he should be an honorary dean. Old Ji, are you also moved?"

Ji Wenxuan was really moved, but he didn't say much, but continued to find topics to chat with a few old men.

Xu Zhuo didn't have a good sense of the old man.

If you have something to say, just talk about it, don't you feel uncomfortable talking about this embarrassingly all the time?

A lot of people came today, he strolled around to say hello to other guests, and didn't pay much attention to Ji Wenxuan.

After a round of greetings, Xu Zhuo finally understood why there was a recharge of 20 in less than an hour after the opening.

It turned out that it was Li Hao, Meng Liwei and Zhou Wen who made it up.

Both Meng Liwei and Zhou Wen were live broadcasting today. In order to attract the attention of fans in the live broadcast room, and Meng Liwei wanted to attract attention, he figured out this operation of recharging 20 cash.

The 20 li included gifts from those friends in the medical school, as well as thanks from Li Hao, Sun Panpan and others to Xu Zhuo.

At first they planned to recharge 10,000, but they made up [-]+.

In the end, Li Hao took out 20 to [-] yuan and made up an integer of [-] yuan.

After recharging, Meng Liwei destroyed the recharging card in front of the camera and threw it away.

The meaning is very clear, this card will not be used again in the future, and the money in it will not be spent.

This operation suddenly made the fans in the live broadcast room boil.

They all joked that Meng Liwei couldn't have too many friends, otherwise even if he had a million dollars, it would not be enough for etiquette.

At almost eleven o'clock, the opening ceremony ended successfully.

Under the leadership of the waiter, the guests went to the oversized private room on the third floor to eat.

The lobby on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor are open for business.

This arrangement will not only satisfy the guests who come to celebrate, but also will not affect the normal operation of the store.

In addition, the private room on the third floor is large enough that all the guests who come can sit down, and there are sound and light equipment inside, so it is more convenient to talk or something.

After Xu Zhuo arranged these things, he strolled to the kitchen.

He was still thinking about the sweet roasted whites in the steamer.

When they reached the door of the kitchen, Yu Peiyong followed.

Xu Zhuo took the opportunity to ask him a question: "Grandpa Yu, what did that Ji Wenxuan come here for? He made everyone feel embarrassed, and without knowing it, he was still talking to himself..."

Yu Peiyong smiled: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the chaos of the world is for profit. He came here today for nothing but profit."

These words made Xu Zhuo even more incomprehensible: "What's the benefit? Could it be that if you return to the culinary association, he can still get a bonus?"

Yu Peiyong smiled and shook his head: "I heard that Ji's Roast Duck is also planning to raise funds and go public, but compared to Ge's restaurant, Ji's Roast Duck is not as well-known, so Ji Wenxuan wants to get our idea."

Originally, Ji Wenxuan's plan was very simple, that is to come and invite everyone, give them a step down, and then rejoin the Culinary Association.

Because he felt that everyone was just angry and no one would really want to leave the association, so he came here to give everyone a step down.

In this way, we can not only build a good relationship with the old man and the others, but also satisfy the people in the association, without offending them.

After this matter is settled, Ji Wenxuan has a reason to organize everyone to go to the capital together. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can use everyone's name to promote Ji's roast duck.

What I didn't expect was that the old man and the others didn't like the Culinary Association at all, and they wanted to scold their mothers when they mentioned it.

There is no possibility of rejoining at all.

This made Ji Wenxuan very passive, not knowing how to deal with it.

So there was the embarrassing scene ahead.

Xu Zhuo thought for a while, and said to Peiyong, "Grandpa Yu, why don't you just trick Ji Wenxuan into quitting the Culinary Association. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face for the Culinary Association."

Yu Peiyong expressed some hesitation: "He is a director of the association, will he retire?"

"Let's see how important the honor of visiting professor is in his heart!"

"Then... I'll discuss it with your grandfather later, let's cover Ji Wenxuan's bottom first and then... um? Why does it smell so good, it's so sweet, did you steam the dessert?"

Chapter 764 Assorted Burnt White

Yu Peiyong has a good sense of smell, and he guessed that Xu Zhuo had steamed dessert just by smelling it.

But as for the dessert, he couldn't guess it.

Xu Zhuo opened the steamer, and a tempting sweet scent came over his face.

Yu Peiyong sniffed it seriously, and his expression became even more puzzled.

"Red dates? Sweet potatoes? Pumpkins? Red beans... What do you cook? Why is the taste so mixed?"

Yu Peiyong has such a keen sense of smell even at his age.

Xu Zhuo really admired it.

People who work in the kitchen all year round, due to the influence of factors such as oily smoke and irregular diet, the chef's sense of smell and taste will be degraded.

But instead of being affected by Mr. Yu Peiyong and the others, their sensitivity was even higher than that of young people.

Really enviable.

"Grandpa Yu, this is the assorted flavor sweet roasted white that I have been thinking about. See if there is any room for improvement."

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhuo took the bowl and plate holder and took out the steaming bowl from the steaming cabinet.

Because the bowl is covered with a layer of glutinous rice, the appearance of the meat slices cannot be seen, but the fragrance has already wafted out.

"It tastes good, now let's see how it looks when it's turned upside down and placed on a plate."

After speaking, Yu Peiyong took an empty plate from the side and put it on the steaming bowl.

Then, without waiting for Xu Zhuo to stop him, he clasped the bottom of the bowl with his thumbs and the plate with his middle and index fingers.

Turning it over with both hands, the bowl was buckled into the plate.

Then he patted the bottom of the bowl, and then put the bowl aside.

This sweet roasted white dish appeared in front of the two of them.

"Hey! This looks really good!"

Yu Peiyong glanced at Xu Zhuo in surprise, and praised Xu Zhuo sincerely.

Xu Zhuo looked at it a little blankly, and was a little surprised himself.

Originally, I just tried it for fun, but I didn't expect it to look like this, which is a bit unexpected.

The top one is the oily and ruddy pork skin. Because the steaming time is a bit long, the pork skin has become translucent.

It looks like jelly, making people swallow unconsciously.

Between the slices of meat, there are fillings of various colors.

When stuffing, Xu Zhuo and Feng Weiguo stuffed a lot, but now they steamed and squeezed out a lot, which decorated the meat slices beautifully.

Especially the yellow pumpkin puree, red date paste and black black sesame paste are particularly conspicuous in the middle of the meat slices.

Under the action of oil, these fillings are shiny and look unique.

"Are the fillings different for each piece of meat?"

Yu Peiyong looked at it repeatedly and felt that Xu Zhuo's idea was very good.

He took the white sugar next to him and sprinkled it on the plate: "Authentic sweet roasted white, you have to sprinkle white sugar again when it comes out of the pot...Xiaozhuo, come and taste your craftsmanship."

When Yu Peiyong handed over the chopsticks, Xu Zhuo pushed them over and let Yu Peiyong eat first.

The reason for this is because Yu Peiyong is the elder.

Secondly, it was because Xu Zhuo heard the notification sound from the system at this moment.

"Ding! The host has the courage to try, and made an innovative dish of sweet roasted rice - assorted roasted rice, which has been specially upgraded to a D-level signature dish. Congratulations to the host."

"Ding! The host did not use the system to make assorted roasted whites. The progress of the sixth ring task is 1/5. Congratulations to the host."

This……

Xu Zhuo was overjoyed by the two consecutive system notifications.
