Mr. Minguo's kitchen

"What? People from the Dudu Mansion want to come to Fulai Restaurant to hold a banquet?!" The loud voice and the overjoyed tone are naturally not from the young master of the Lin family, but Master Zhang who is training the apprentices with the young master in the back kitchen. He heard Master Lin Muying's words stopped the waving spatula.

Lin Weirui clasped her arms on her chest and said coolly, "The fish is getting old."

"Oh!" Master Zhang was swept away by the eyes of the young master, and he came back to his senses. He had no time to be surprised, and immediately picked up the mandarin fish that had been fried until golden in the oil pan and put them on a plate to make a squirrel-like arrangement.

The recipe of this squirrel mandarin fish dish is not simple. It not only tests the skill of the knife, but also needs to overcome the difficulty of heating.First use a sharp knife to slice off the two pieces of fish meat connected to the tail, then slice off the part of the fish belly with fish bones, and then cut straight and obliquely. The whole piece of fish must be covered with diamond-shaped knife lines that are acceptable to obsessive-compulsive disorder. After the taste is processed, roll the dry starch before frying in the oil pan.

Do you think this is all right?Be careful of Chef Lin's Danfeng eyes staring at you to death.This is already the fifth fish that Master Zhang has wasted today, and it is because Chef Lin, the supervisor at the side, thinks that Master Zhang's fish is not deep-fried enough.

Chef Lin took some fish with his chopsticks and said, "It's okay."

Master Zhang knew it was time to cook the fish. When he poured the boiling red sauce and sprinkled with pine nuts, the fish would make a squeaking sound, which was indeed like a squirrel. The cook's hands are done.Because of the short-term frying, the fish meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sweet and sour taste is extremely appetizing. There is no dislike when it comes to 99, and it just goes away.

Lin Muying was also greedy looking at it, seeing that the people in the kitchen didn't pay any attention to the news she brought, she simply put down the business first, and picked up the fish with chopsticks.I don't know what made this layer of sweet and sour sauce, but I can only taste the taste of tomato sauce and the lusciousness of fresh soup.The sauce didn't flow all over the place, but stuck to the fish sticky. Every bite of the fish had just the right combination of sweet and salty, which strangely made him, a big man who never liked sweet and sour, unable to stop his chopsticks.

The disciples next to him also gathered around to try it, but they were not good enough, so only the master learned this dish.However, Lin Weirui, the current uncle, does not hide his secrets. These days, he has taught each of them some famous dishes one after another, so that they can operate the entire back kitchen before the restaurant reopens, so as not to ruin his brand .Everyone gave Lin Weirui a thumbs up while eating. By the way, they listened to what Master Zhang knew about the historical origin of this dish. Knowing that it was eaten by Qianlong when he went south to the south of the Yangtze River, they felt that the fish in his mouth was extraordinary.

A plate of fish was wiped out by a group of big men in a short while, and the others continued to practice, and Lin Muying went up to the second floor to talk with her big cousin.

Lin Weirui leaned lazily on the sofa in the second-floor lounge, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, propped his delicate chin with one hand, and teased the fish in the fish tank, which contained the three golden carps he bought.Even in the back kitchen just now, he was still wearing a white shirt and his hair was meticulous.Lin Muying found that her eldest cousin may be an absolute lover of suits. He wears different shirts every day. When the weather is cold, he wears a sweater, or windbreaker and overcoat, and wears a dark scarf. The leather shoes on his feet are always clean.I have never seen him wearing long gowns and mandarin jackets. Even the long gowns that new-style characters like to wear now have only been seen at home. I heard that they are made of good materials and are used as pajamas by him.

Lin Weirui pushed the newly brewed sweet-scented osmanthus plum juice to him, and said, "Tell me, what's the situation in the Dudu's Mansion?"

"My mother took your cakes to the banquet hosted by the Dudufu's wife..." Originally, the group of ladies at the last banquet had just made an appointment to open a restaurant to support Lin Weirui's restaurant, and they could be regarded as indirect greetings with him. It's a good relationship, after all, everyone is still begging for his Qinglu brew.Unexpectedly, the Dudu’s wife who came from the capital a few days ago said that she was going to visit Qi Xiaoqin (Henan Dudu’s wife), who is close to the Fourth Madam.These people thought, although our Henan government and the capital are incomparable in terms of political status and the military strength of the Dudu's government, but this capital comes, we will not lose if we lose, we must let those who live under the imperial city It's good to be amazing, maybe in the future we will be able to talk to the bigwigs over there in Baoding.

When a group of ladies in charge of arranging the reception were preparing meals, they all thought of Lin Weirui at the same time.It is really the power of the Baiguo that day that the wives still remember it.

However, if the pastry is well-made, the food is not necessarily good. Everyone is just holding the idea of ​​giving it a try. They want to let the people below test the strength of Fulai Restaurant in advance, and then decide whether Fulai Restaurant will undertake this time. "Lady Diplomacy" banquet.

"Then let's try it." Lin Weirui was a little interested. If it was done well, it would save him a lot of publicity expenses before the restaurant opened.

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt, for me." He also knew that most of the credit for this must come from Mrs. Lin Fourth.

"What's the matter, brother, you are too polite." Lin Weirui smiled and said nothing.Lin Muying said she was thirsty and the weather was hot, so she picked up a large bowl of sour plum juice on the table and drank it.As soon as I drank it, I realized that it was a good thing.

"Ah! Huh!" hiccupped, Lin Muying asked her eldest cousin, "Is there any more?" Lin Weirui laughed and asked him to pour it into the jar by himself.

Saying try, in fact, there is no suspense at all, looking at the slightly bulging stomachs when the people who came from the Dudu Mansion left the next day, you can know the strength of this unopened restaurant.

Dou refers to the southeast, and Wei is Lixia.On the day of Lixia, although the weather was hot, passers-by found movement in the Fulai Restaurant in the east of the city, which had been closed for a long time, that is, cars and horses were parked in front of the door, and the guards of the Dudu Mansion stood guard.Ouch, this surprised ordinary people with flat hair, thinking that this restaurant had committed some crimes and was going to be closed by the government, so they all spread the word about it and came to watch the excitement.When he saw a young gentleman coming out of the restaurant and chatting happily with a group of ladies, he realized that it was the Dudu's wife who was hosting a banquet to entertain the guests.

Everyone was amazed, the Fulai Restaurant had been lively for a while before, and it was a holy place for countless gluttonous customers.Later, the original cook retired and returned to his hometown, and the cook changed, and the taste of the food went down, and there was nothing new, so everyone dispersed to patronize the newly opened restaurants.A few days ago, no matter how much Second Uncle Lin concealed the story of the separation of the Lin family, there were more or less rumors.Now it seems that this Fulai restaurant has changed a powerful person, and even the governor's wife has been attracted, which is incredible!Everyone was eager to try it, and the rich man who had spare money in his pocket also wanted to go in to join in the fun, but was stopped by the person standing at the door, saying that it was not open today and was hosting a private banquet.

Although I didn't go in to find out, the reputation spread through word of mouth.

The people from the two provincial governor's mansions were coming, and Lin Weirui, as the person in charge of the restaurant, had to come to greet him no matter how arrogant he was.

He changed into a set of Yuebaiya long gown today, if Lin Muying saw it, she would no longer mutter that he is a suit lover.The corners of the clothes are embroidered with delicate and complicated light-colored patterns, which can be described as low-key and restrained elegance.If someone else had this color, it would definitely be showing off elegance, but on him, it would make one feel incomparably exquisite.You should know the importance of appearance in this world, it can be said that the treatment is very different.This is the first table of guests that Lin Weirui received when he came to this world. It is not accurate to say that it was just one table, because the people who came were not only the wife of the governor from Hebei, but also other accompanying guests. Don't arrange to eat at other tables in the restaurant.

Surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, luxuriously dressed women came around the two of them, the leader was Qi Xiaoqin, the governor's wife of the province, and the woman standing next to her was plump, graceful and luxurious, just smiling with a taut skin lady face.This is the first time Mrs. Qi saw Lin Weirui, she was surprised, she looked up and down without any trace, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Lin is so young! In the past, I only knew him from Zuiying, but now I see him, He is really young and promising, and he is a man of talent."

"The decoration of this restaurant is really unique. I haven't seen it anywhere else. But it looks elegant and comfortable..." Other noble ladies from the province also gathered around and looked at it with a smile, but they all spoke in good faith.They are still counting on him in the future, and besides, this child is really handsome. If it was 20 years earlier, they would all have their hearts pounding.

Only the woman from other provinces smiled and said nothing, no matter how hard she concealed her eyes, there was a bit of contempt in her eyes.

Sure enough, people from a small place have no rules.

Lin Weirui just showed her face, and not long after everyone walked in, she heard the provincial lady say: "What's there to talk about as a small owner of a restaurant, there is no reason to lower his status. People of any level should be with people of that level." Talking, it's okay for you, but for us, you will be laughed at." It was almost said that Qi Xiaoqin didn't know the rules, and was vulgar and rude.

When Ah Fu heard this, his face turned red with anger, and he looked at the young master, not sure if he heard it.Lin Weirui ordered him a treat, and then went to the exclusive room on the second floor without stopping.

Qi Xiaoqin smiled and replied: "Ma'am, you are joking. Mr. Lin is a great talent in the Imperial University. He has just returned from studying abroad. He has been wronged by the status of the small owner of the restaurant. Mr. is very capable. It is said that some of the meals today The technically improved varieties he learned from abroad not only increase production but also have better quality!"

The wife of the governor of other provinces smiled, "That's right, but this person is strange. How can I learn about farmland when I go to Taixi to study abroad? It's a waste of opportunity. Isn't this kind of field just a matter of sowing and harvesting? Learn about machinery It’s better than this, and my governor even said that he would buy machines from Taixi in a few days to encourage all walks of life to set up factories.”

The others didn't pick up the conversation, and simply arrived at the place to eat.

The weather in Lixia is a bit sweltering. Entering the restaurant from the outside, the ladies who are almost covered from head to toe found that the surrounding area suddenly became cooler. This feeling became clearer when entering the suite on the first floor, and the air A faint fragrance of flowers makes people feel like they are in a garden.

The accompanying girl in the hall explained softly: "Madam, have you seen the vases around? It's filled with ice, and a few hundred-year-old locust trees are planted outside. It is one of the two best rooms in the restaurant, and the young master specially arranged it for the distinguished guests."

"Mr. Lin has a heart. This May is indeed the flowering season of locust trees, no wonder they are so fragrant." The mood of all the guests was good for a while, and even the lady from other provinces who had been putting on airs relaxed.
