Mr. Minguo's kitchen

Yuan Xiaolan couldn't understand the culinary skills in the process, and she couldn't tell which one was better - after all, she didn't taste the dishes, so she turned her head to pay attention to the artist playing the violin on the side of the stage after watching for a while.

It takes time for chefs to cook, so there are actually opera troupes on stage to add to the fun.He hadn't been back to Beiping City for a year, and he heard that fanciers, newspapers and magazines had picked up several emerging talents, but he was the only one who was standing still or regressing.

Lin Weirui watched it for a while and didn't look at it, only Xiaobao watched the whole process, Yuan Xiaolan asked him, "Master Xiaobao, how does the chef in this capital think?"

Lin Weirui took a sip of tea, pushed the pastry to the bored Lin Zhenpeng, and then looked at Xiaobao, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Xiaobao is the most serious one. After all, Fenglaiju's kitchen in the capital is very likely to be supported by him in the future, and now is another rare opportunity to get to know his colleagues.

He thought for a while, and said carefully: "The first round is the three signature dishes displayed by various restaurants. I looked at the dishes and guessed that the chefs of the major restaurants in the capital are probably good at Shandong cuisine, followed by Su cuisine, knife skills and The chef from Huixian Hall should be the most outstanding in modeling skills. And Fenglaiju’s dishes have always been not limited to one school of cuisine, and the skills of young and old are outstanding, and they are blooming everywhere. But if you come to this capital to open a restaurant in the future, according to this posture, Perhaps we can make a surprising difference with Cantonese or Sichuan cuisine, so as to avoid competition from our peers.”

"I've heard that Master Xiaobao is clever and good at finding new ways. It's really good. I think this idea is great!" Yuan Xiaolan praised.Xiao Bao scratched his head and laughed, and when he saw that the young master also looked at him with admiration, his heart jumped instantly!

Seeing that his idea was recognized, Xiaobao's self-confidence increased a bit, and he continued to say what he just thought: "After today, I will go to various restaurants to have a look and taste. The food culture in the capital is strong, and the restaurants in the restaurant The competition in the market is fierce, and our restaurant has no foundation here, so we must not collide with those established restaurants, but we must also highlight our own characteristics."

Lin Weirui nodded. He intends to train the people under him. Even if they are cooks, it doesn't mean that they will be detained in the small world of the back kitchen for the rest of their lives, and act as the people behind the scenes in obscurity.A diligent and capable person naturally deserves better promotion.

The old store in Xiangcheng is now in charge of the back kitchen by Master Zhang, without the young master who is more demanding on eyes, and the fatter shopkeeper Tong. Master Zhang is also getting older. After Xiaobao returns this time, he will follow the According to the young master's instructions, his master began to select and train chefs in the back kitchen.

Fengtian's Youfenglaiju has now developed into a big shop. Currently, Dabao has taken over as the back kitchen, Zeng Baiyu is in charge, and Lin Weirui intends to let him participate in daily management.As for the store in Beiping, it is very likely that Xiaobao will directly become the person who makes the decision-whether it is the kitchen or the front desk, it is time to start training at this time.

Lin Weirui played with the prayer beads given by someone in her hand, thinking endlessly.

The dishes from the various restaurants below are already out of the pan and presented to the stage.What is served in Huixian Hall is a famous dish of the Eastern Han Dynasty - Lotus Seed Eight Treasure Rice.The lotus seeds just picked from the water have their hearts removed, and the eight treasures such as chicken head rice, red dates, ginkgo, longan, preserved fruit, etc. are arranged in a sea bowl according to the principle of alternating colors, mixed with five-ripe glutinous rice, steamed, and finally poured upside down Thickened candied sugar, sprinkled with green and red silk to embellish the summer.Green, red and white, the rings surrounded by layers of round grains such as lotus seeds and red dates are like strings of beads. The beads are round and jade-like, which is cute.

Because the lotus seeds were just picked from the river, they taste fresh and sweet. Although the eight-treasure rice is sweet, the judges here are either born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or have lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, so it can be said that it is in the right place.

On the other hand, Zhongxin Restaurant presents a "Ten-mile Lotus Pond" - lotus seeds are steamed and ground into mud and flour and made into dough, dyed with green lotus leaf juice, and then shaped into small "lotus pods", "lotus pods". "Lian put lotus seeds on the pot and steam them, and what comes out of the oven are small and exquisite lotus root pasta.It can be said to be ingenious, even Lin Weirui thought it was somewhat interesting.

At the end of the game, the crowd dispersed with a smile. Yu Zuotang managed to get away from the crowd who gathered around to talk to him, and entered the wing where Lin Weirui was.

"It seems that the water is quite deep for this little cooking competition." Lin Weirui said coolly.

"Hey, did you see it?" Yu Zuotang didn't deny it, and sat down and said, "I have to give some face to the host who paid a lot of money. I didn't dare to tell you in advance because I was afraid that you would not like it."

It is embarrassing that the ingenious lotus pod pasta in the eyes of everyone was finally defeated by the sweet eight-treasure rice.

Yuan Xiaolan: "This competition is boring."

Xiaobao was worried, "If we open a shop in this capital next year, will we have to come here?"

Lin Weirui directly rejected it, "Do we need that first-class title?"

Yu Zuotang shook his head, "Skills are naturally unnecessary. But to fully integrate into the capital, I'm afraid it's better to send people to participate."

Fortunately, there is no sign of Feng Laiju's store in Beijing right now, so this debate is put on hold for now.They went out to make their way home.

A familiar figure flashed across the crowd, Lin Weirui frowned, and before he could stop, little brother Lin was already one step ahead of him, "Brother, is that Cousin Fuxuan?"

Lin Fuxuan was at a loss what to do with the rogue Young Master Chang at the moment. When she heard someone calling her name, she turned her head subconsciously. She didn't recognize the completely changed Lin Zhenpeng. recognized.

He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers that combined Chinese and Western styles today. Due to his rigor outside, no matter how hot the weather was, the buttons were all the way to the top.Even in the simplest black and white attire, the slender figure still wears an aura that is out of tune with the surroundings. Perhaps the tailor is worried that the clothes, which are priceless except for the tailoring and fabric, are too monotonous, making Suzhou's The embroiderer embroidered one side of the shirt with silver silk. If you look at it from a special angle, you can recognize that it is a blooming Xifu crabapple.At this moment, frowning slightly in the crowd, there is a compelling sense of coldness and abstinence.

"This is?" Chang Yanxi behind her followed her gaze, and when he saw Lin Weirui, who was as beautiful as Lin Fuxuan but had an aura of aloofness, he couldn't help but whistled softly.

Seeing his frivolous behavior, especially in front of her eldest cousin, Lin Fuxuan said with a cold face, "Yanxi!"

Chang Yanxi couldn't stand her frowning the most, so she quickly raised her hands in surrender with a smile, and said flatteringly, "Xuan'er, introduce me?"

At this moment, on the other side, Yu Zuotang said, "Isn't that the son of Changdu Du's family?"

Lin Weirui's brows furrowed even deeper, looking at the greasy-faced young man with slightly cold eyes.

Yu Zuotang seemed to confirm it, and then said: "It's him, this Young Master Chang is the most favored in the Chang family, and it is said that Chang Siyu is the most interested in him as the heir, but Young Master Chang is a playful and trouble-loving person who also loves to eat. Yes, not very restrained. Wonderful man!"

When they were discussing in low voices, Lin Fuxuan had already passed through the crowd and came over. Perhaps it was a rare joy to meet relatives and friends in another country, "Big cousin!"

Lin Weirui nodded, Chang Yanxi saw that Xuan'er had no intention of introducing herself to her cousin, she stood up straight and straightened her suit, with a slanted hook at the corner of her mouth, she was about to introduce herself.Lin Weirui didn't even look at him, she just said to Lin Fuxuan, "Follow me." This is not a place to talk about old times.

Lin Fuxuan nodded, forgetting even Chang Yanxi, and followed in small steps obediently.

Chang Yanxi was left aside, with a dazed expression on her face, seeing Xuan'er leaving, she hurriedly followed, and said, "Hi cousin! I'm Chang Yanxi, Fuxuan's..."

Lin Fuxuan was afraid that he would say something unreliable, so she interrupted him, "Cousin, this is Chang Yanxi, my classmate." What she said was true, but in her heart she was like a teacher who was being taught in class. Grabbing it like a desertion, blushing and frightened.

Chang Yanxi was not annoyed, and continued to smile and said: "I often heard Fuxuan mention her cousin, he is indeed a good-looking talent, this is my little cousin!" He stretched out his hand to touch Lin Zhenpeng's head, but he blocked it with his hand Open, dodge.The movement was too big, and Chang Yanxi made a soft sound from the back of his hand.Different from his smile, Lin Zhenpeng tightly grasped the corner of his elder brother's clothes, and looked at this man surnamed Chang vigilantly.

This person, possibly, will rob him of his eldest brother!

Chang Yanxi's movements stopped, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face. After all, very few people would refute his face, even though he was only a child.Lin Weirui glanced at him, "Zhen Peng, what's your courtesy?"

Lin Zhenpeng immediately bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "Sorry."

Chang Yanxi, a big man, naturally doesn't care about children, and in order to pursue Lin Fuxuan, he still has a calculation in his heart to please his mother's family. After all, Fuxuan seems to respect this big cousin very much.

Lin Weirui's expression was calm, and when she turned around, she asked someone to give her a good ointment as an apology.

Yu Zuotang saw that the scene was a bit stagnant, so he stood up, "Young Master Chang is also offering food today? But there is a cook who likes him, so he won't abduct him this time, right?"

Hearing what he said, one knew that this young master Chang had done a lot of ridiculous things in the past.

"Last year, the chef met my father's favorite Yutian sauce meat. I spent a lot of money to invite him home. The restaurant didn't suffer! Mr. Yu, don't blame me! Today I think The cook at Zhongxin Restaurant is a bit innovative, but it’s under the cover of Cao Kunqian, so it’s not easy to hire him!”

This Young Master Chang is known to be good at eating and drinking, so he has something to chat with Yu Zuo Tang.

They didn't go back to Yu's mansion, but found a clean place in Huixian Hall, and the cousins ​​talked about the past.

From her narration, Lin Weirui learned that this eldest young lady Chang was not her classmate at the same school—obviously, Lin Fuxuan went to Beiping Women's Normal School, unless she wanted to imitate Zhu Yingtai and Lin Fuxuan as girlfriends, but a nearby student at Peking University.

Once, when Lin Fuxuan came home late and was targeted by a group of hooligans with malicious intentions, it was this Chang Da Shao who passed by and the hero saved Mei.Afterwards, the dignified Young Master Chang, who was followed by guards when he went out, entangled her for some reason, and even said that he liked her.Although Master Chang had never chased anyone before, he did some things in a stupid way, which even made Lin Fuxuan quite embarrassed in front of the teacher.

But although Lin Fuxuan looked cold and not to be played with, she had never seen such a character and the battle of pursuit, and she was moved by him after a long time. Today, Lin Fuxuan couldn't bear Chang Yanxi's soft-heartedness, and agreed for the first time Following his invitation, I came to Huixian Hall to watch people compete with the chef—perhaps because of my cousin, Lin Fuxuan is also somewhat interested in eating.

Everyone has their own personal love, and others have no right to interfere. Even if the cousin's love partner is his half-brother, Lin Weirui didn't express any opinions after hearing it. He just said plainly: "Your mother asked me to take care of you more. I will stay in the capital for a while, and I will come to Yufu to look for anything."

Lin Fuxuan wrote down the address and left with Chang Yan.On the second floor, Lin Weirui watched the car with the family emblem of Changfu leave, and remained silent for a long time.

The author has something to say: New characters appear on the stage, the next chapter is Chang’s Shura Field ~ the eldest and youngest will probably fight Lin’s mother out of their wits, and then the coach who has not appeared for a long time will also be pulled out for a walk

[Catching Insects] It is Peking University, not Yenching University (founded in 1916). Cousin Lin and Lin Weirui only have similar eyes~
