Yunnan cuisine is a type of cuisine that Su Chen has not been exposed to much.

Don’t rush to deal with the summoned mushrooms. Instead, look up the introduction to Yunnan cuisine in the famous cuisine series.

“Dunnan cuisine is mainly steamed, deep-fried, roasted and stir-fried, and the flavors tend to be sour, spicy, numbing and sweet.”

It can be seen from the introduction that even when famous recipes were collected in those days, the cuisine here was rarely included. Instead, the cuisines of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces were directly collected into one volume.

"Why don't we give this Jianshouqing thing a try?"

This thing is quite big. As Su Chen cut it with a kitchen knife, he saw that the cut surface of the mushroom quickly turned into a green color with a few green spots in it.

"You know it's poisonous, but you still eat it."

Anyway, Su Chen didn't quite understand. He heated up the oil in a pan until it started to smoke. Then he quickly put the sliced ​​​​scallops into the pan and started stir-frying.

At the same time, add the whole garlic into the pot.

It is said that adding garlic can detoxify!

Just like stir-frying King Oyster Mushrooms, there is no change at the beginning, but as the stir-frying time increases, soup begins to appear in the pot.

Su Chen added some light soy sauce and salt and continued to stir-fry.

"How long will this thing last?"

After stir-frying for about five or six minutes, Su Chen picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste whether it was cooked.

"hiss!"

It tastes fresh and sweet when you take a bite, with the unique flavor of wild mushrooms from nature. This smell seems to have magic and rushes straight up from the top of your head!

"No wonder people risk their lives to eat mushrooms, they are so damn delicious!!!"

At this moment, Su Chen suddenly understood the people of Yunnan.

Understand them and become them.

Su Chen, who was cooking, suddenly stopped. Mushrooms are delicious, and he understood why people eat them, but what he didn't understand was.

"Why are there comments when I talk to myself?"

Sixteen hours later.

Su Chen opened his eyes in the chair in the office, stood up and walked around the office several times, then turned on the computer and played two games of Minesweeper.

"It seems that the poisoning in the practice room has nothing to do with reality."

"Fuck! You can't taste fried mushrooms, right?"

Su Chen took out his cell phone and sent a message to Zhang Maolin.

[Mushrooms can be used, but the ingredient of green onion must be rejected. What a joke! Who will be responsible if someone gets sick from eating it?]

The dishes cooked by the state guesthouse are made with careful attention to taste and texture, but you, on the contrary, directly give me delicious food and then give me poisonous ingredients for me to deal with?

This isn't how customization works, right?

After sending the message, Su Chen didn't care about anything else. He definitely couldn't do the Jianshouqing thing anyway, but he could still ask his friends in Yunnan Province to send some to him.

"I'm sure I can make it non-toxic next time!"

Just so confident.

Su Chen turned over and returned to the practice room. After taking a deep breath, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his body.

Maybe this is the benefit of the practice room.

This time, Su Chen did not summon the green-headed mushroom, but chose another kind of mushroom that looked unfriendly but was actually non-toxic: the green-headed mushroom.

Compared with the big size of the Agaricus fasciatus, the Green-headed Mushroom is much cuter. It looks a bit like the Butternut Shrimp, but the top is slightly green.

"Stuffed tricholoma is a famous dish in Yunnan Province, and it is made with a variety of other ingredients. The prepared dishes can also be listed separately, and such dishes are more suitable for appearing at banquets."

After making up his mind, Su Chen began to try this dish that he had never seen before.

With the official hype from the association, and the fact that each real-name authenticated account could only vote once, the final results of the twenty-eight dishes from the association’s official channels soon emerged.

The Sichuan cuisine, which had previously received much attention, was eventually crowned the most popular dish, with boiled cabbage taking the top spot without any surprise.

There is no way. Whether this dish tastes good or not is another matter, but its name alone is too famous.

The cuisine of Hunan Province is quite interesting.

Initially, Dong'an chicken and braised shark's fin were selected, but many netizens believed that these could not represent Hunan cuisine. Countless people strongly demanded that the "steamed cured meat" dish should be the focus of this promotion of Hunan cuisine.

This matter is still causing a stir on the Internet.

Later, someone from the association made a video and gave an explanation, which barely calmed everyone's frustration.

After all, the steamed cured meat dish is indeed delicious, but its texture is always tough and chewy. Considering that some of the guests at the banquet will be older and even eat with dentures, the steamed cured meat dish has to be passed.

In the end, Dong'an Chicken lost to Braised Shark's Fin by a narrow margin, which was almost the same as the association's expectations. This Braised Shark's Fin was also one of the eight cuisines that Su Chen had prepared before.

In the conference room on the second floor, a group of employees were hunched over their computers, eagerly studying the latest popular dishes.

"It's really embarrassing for our Jin Province. In the end, it was the sea buckthorn juice that won. Even with all the efforts of the entire province, we couldn't come up with a decent dish. It's really shameful!"

Ling Shuyu glanced at Bai Xiaobo and said, "What's there to be ashamed of? If seabuckthorn juice can become popular at this state banquet, this drink will be popular all over the country in the future, which is a good thing."

He Shuting pointed at the computer screen and asked, "Henan Province Hu La Tang wasn't even selected?"

Liu Shengnan smiled, "Didn't you notice that all the dishes have one characteristic, they are very restrained in terms of spiciness? We still have to consider the international situation! We can't just do whatever we want."

The dish with the highest number of votes in Henan Province is: baked carp noodles.

This dish has also appeared repeatedly many times in TV dramas, which is enough to show that it has a long history. Of course, this result also made many local people in Henan Province feel very dissatisfied.

Some people even said on Douyin that instead of making a baked carp noodle, it would be better to just have a pot of stewed noodles!

The cuisine from other provinces, especially northwestern cuisine, almost subverts the local people's own cognition.

For example, when it came to Gansu province’s dishes, countless netizens thought beef ramen would be the favorite, but in the end, it was a dish called “braised lamb in yellow sauce” that won the most votes.

Many locals said that they had never even eaten this thing, so how come it was chosen?

When the time comes, give each of those old men and women a bowl of beef ramen with beef. Wouldn’t they be overwhelmed by the aroma?

Some people also expressed opposition.

If you give people a bowl of beef ramen, will they eat anything else?

That thing tastes good, but I'll feel full after eating one bowl.

But no matter what, this voting activity has basically ended, but the enthusiasm for food exchange has not decreased. After all, there is only half a month left. In addition, as the year is coming to an end, many people are starting to return home early. Therefore, many netizens have nothing to do and have begun to look forward to it. Some netizens even started to try to cook at home according to the state banquet menu on the Internet.

As for Su Chen, his daily life has become unprecedentedly regular.

“No wonder everyone has to find a class to attend.”

Early in the morning, Su Chen got up and drank a cup of coffee.

Now, after getting up every day, he would start trying to cook in the practice room. After every sixteen hours of practice, he would return to reality and rest for two hours.

Then I stay up until about 10pm and go straight to bed.

Day after day, for ten consecutive days, Su Chen stood in front of the window looking outside.

"Finally I tried all 28 dishes and they reached S-rank."

A few days ago, the service team of the State Guesthouse has moved into Delicious.

More than a hundred female waiters, plus a dozen management staff, all live on the 32nd floor. It has to be said that the loan taken out to build this floor of the hotel still plays a significant role today.

With less than a week left before the banquet, all kinds of easy-to-store ingredients began to be transported.

Unfortunately, with Director Fang's ability, he is currently unable to take on such a large order. He is only responsible for some simpler meats. Other more special ingredients from various provinces are provided by local suppliers. All these matters are handled by the Cooking Association.

Since most of the dishes have been trained to S-level, Su Chen is no longer in a hurry.

In the following period of time, I basically focused on reality. The first thing I had to do was to prepare some ingredients in advance.

In such busyness, another four days passed.

There are still three days before the banquet starts, and all the members of the Cooking Association have arrived in Jingzhou.

Originally, Su Chen wanted to arrange everyone to stay in a hotel in the city, but at Zhang Maolin's strong request, all the leaders of the Cooking Association finally stayed at Delicious.

At the same time, Delicious also experienced its first suspension of business since its opening.

Various warnings began to appear around the development zone.

But these have no effect on Su Chen himself.

With one day left before the banquet, Su Chen gathered all the chefs from Delicious Food in the cafeteria on the 19th floor and held a brief meeting.

The person who can sit at this table now may not be the best chef in the country.

But after tomorrow, they will become the most famous people in the country.

National Chef Level: Cui Yufen, Lu Yongliang, Wang Zhijun, Liu Guochu, Jiang Wensheng, Jiang Wusheng.

They represent the top levels of several major domestic cuisines.

Those who are slightly inferior to him are: Zhang Laoer, Lao Shiqi, Liu Abao, and the apprentices of several national chefs in famous cuisine restaurants.

Although they cannot reach the cooking level of their teachers, they all have their own areas of expertise.

Looking at everyone sitting together, Su Chen felt a little emotional for a moment.

Once upon a time, I was the only one here, and my daily job was to find a way to prepare a staff meal for the employees to pay back the transportation subsidies owed to them.

At that time, Su Chen could clearly feel the distrust in the eyes of his employees.

Nowadays, my kitchen team alone has become so powerful.

"Three days from now, the banquet will begin."

Su Chen said softly.

It was obvious that the several national chefs sitting in front of him all looked a little nervous.

"That means we have to start preparing some things starting tomorrow."

When Su Chen was speaking, everyone listened carefully and no one raised any questions.

"I will assign the work tasks today."

Su Chen took out the work task list he had prepared in advance, which contained detailed plans for each dish.

"Teacher Cui is in charge of Shandong cuisine, Shaanxi cuisine, and Gansu cuisine."

"Teacher Lu is responsible"

The overall idea is that each national chef should try to be responsible for the cuisine related to their expertise. Lu Yongliang is good at cooking fish, so he will be responsible for all fish processing.

These are not difficult things.

After all, the cooking was done by Su Chen himself, and most of the others just handled the ingredients, did some cutting and seasoning work.

I gave everyone a copy of the completed task list, and everyone looked over the detailed list as if they were facing a great enemy.

"It's Xiao Su's habit. There's no problem on my side. When do we start?" Lu Yongliang made up his mind after just one look.

Wang Zhijun and Liu Guochu had never cooked with Su Chen before, so they looked at their lists with some confusion.

"We only need to prepare one portion of chopped green onions, why do we need to divide it into sixteen portions?"

Cui Yufen glanced at Liu Guochu and said, "Preparing a copy was your old habit. So many people were serving you. Now it's Xiao Su who is serving so many people alone. Can it be the same?"

Wang Zhijun also wanted to ask, but after listening to Cui Yufen's harsh words, he simply shut his mouth.

Unlike their previous habits, Su Chen prepared the ingredients according to the names of the dishes.

Even if the ingredients are the same, they should be divided into different portions according to different dishes, and then all the ingredients should be put together, with a sign in front of them to clearly indicate which dish it is.

The most difficult part is the order in which the dishes are prepared.

"I have marked the time for everyone to prepare the ingredients, as well as the time after they are ready. Everyone must follow these time points. If you have any difficulties, please let me know in advance."

Several national chefs nodded and said there was no problem.

But I also have some admiration for Su Chen in my heart.

People who don’t know how to cook may not understand this, they just think that it’s enough to make these dishes the best they can be.

But in fact it is not at all.

In the past, when cooking at the State Guest House, each chef would be told at what time the dishes they were responsible for needed to be served, so everyone just had to start cooking according to the time.

It's just one dish.

But if each person adds two dishes, the work becomes complicated. It is no longer a matter of one plus one equals two, but the complexity increases exponentially.

When it comes to three courses, it is basically difficult for a chef to complete it independently, and other people must help complete part of the cooking work.

And Su Chen is now facing 28 dishes!

Being able to clearly sort out all the processes for making 28 dishes in just a few days, the task list and schedule alone were enough to shock everyone present.

Seeing that no one had anything to add, Su Chen stood up and clapped his hands, his voice becoming a little louder.

"Okay, everyone, have a good rest today! Starting at 8 a.m. tomorrow, you may not be able to get a good night's sleep for the next few days."

"Thank you all for your hard work in preparing for this banquet!"

Cui Yufen waved his hand, "It's worth it."

The others also nodded in agreement. Never mind whether it was hard or not, at their age, being able to have such an experience was something many chefs dreamed of.

How hard can it be?

The brief meeting ended.

Su Chen simply made himself a plate of fried rice with egg, drank a bottle of Sands, did nothing else, and went straight back to his bedroom to sleep.

There is only one thing to do now: conserve your energy!

The next day, early in the morning.

There are still 36 hours until the banquet begins.

Su Chen stood in the kitchen, still wearing a well-fitting black suit.

In front of him were more than twenty helpers in white chef uniforms, each with a very serious expression.

"start!"

At the command, the kitchen was suddenly filled with the sound of ping-pong, and the sound of various metal kitchen utensils colliding with each other was like a beautiful symphony.

And it was at this moment.

All over the world, numerous planes take off and fly towards the same destination.

Beijing!
