"Let me tell you first!"

Bai Li smiled at Huang Ying. Although the full house was his family's business, he could only be regarded as a diner after all. If Huang Ying, the former head chef of the full house, had said it first, he was afraid that when he did it again, he would Wouldn't know what to say.

"Brother Tie, although I am not a chef, I have been to many restaurants and tasted a lot of delicious food! The four dishes and one soup you made today are really amazing. I never thought that they are the more common fried spring bamboo shoots, Braised box vegetables, steamed grass carp, braised pork ribs, mountain delicacies soup, you can actually make me want to eat it again!”

Bai Li gave a thumbs up to Gu Zheng, and then said: "I want to talk about stir-fried spring bamboo shoots. You have made the smallest changes to this dish. I thought that even if it tastes better than the one made by the chef of Piaoxianglou, it will not be as good. A lot, but I didn’t expect that I was completely wrong! The crispness and fragrance of the spring bamboo shoots were beyond my imagination, so much so that I thought, were the ones I ate before really fried spring bamboo shoots?”

"I can't help but drool when I think about the braised boxing dish now. I never thought that adding the pork rib soup to the braised boxing would actually make the boxing grow so much larger. The soup-soaked pork belly makes it feel so good when you bite into it. ”

"This dish of braised pork ribs feels very novel to me. The pork ribs and yams have been specially processed by Brother Tie in advance. The stewed taste of the two ingredients is very wonderful. The pork ribs are fragrant but not greasy, and the yams are sandy and tasty, especially The soup feels like a soup of its own! ”

"The dish of steamed grass carp gives me a more amazing feeling than the stir-fried spring bamboo shoots. After eating this dish made by brother Tie, it really makes me wonder whether I have ever eaten steamed grass carp before. The meat quality of grass carp can really be like this. Is it fresh and tender? And the spicy and sour sauce prepared by Brother Tie is also very good. The spicy and sour taste paired with the tender and smooth fish is really appetizing! ”

"Among the four dishes and one soup that Brother Tie made today, the most amazing one is the Shanzhen Soup! The ingredients for cooking the Shanzhen Soup were all processed by Brother Tie in advance, and when Brother Tie processed those ingredients, I also I also didn’t understand it very well, but after really tasting the mountain delicacy soup, I tasted a wonderful sense of layering in it. This is an experience I have never had before drinking mountain delicacy soup! Although the delicacies soup is quite fragrant, the fragrance is mixed together, and once you drink it, you just drank it. The feeling in retrospect is very vague, but the fragrant taste of the mountain delicacies soup cooked by Brother Ti is really charming. , even when I think about it now, it feels like I am deep in the forest after the rain, and the fragrances coming from different fungi interact with each other very clearly, seconds, it’s really seconds!”

Bai Li commented on Gu Zheng's four dishes and one soup. At the end, he gave Gu Zheng a thumbs up again and couldn't help but gulp down his saliva, appearing to be so unsatisfied.

"Snap, snap, snap!"

"What the young master said is great!"

Applause rang out from all around, and the chefs cheered for Bai Li.

"This applause should be given to Brother Tie. From now on, you must listen to Brother Tie and follow Brother Tie to improve your cooking skills!"

Bai Li motioned to the chef to applaud Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled: "It's not too late for you all to applaud again after Chef Huang finishes his evaluation!"

"Okay, then I will review the four dishes and one soup made by Chef Ti now!"

Huang Ying smiled at Gu Zheng. At this time, the way she looked at Gu Zheng had completely changed, and there was a sense of respect in it.

"When my nephew first brought Chef Tie here, I felt that Chef Tie was just a young man, and I didn't know what big talk he said to my nephew, so that my nephew asked him to be the head chef. When Chef Tie cooked the delicacies When making the soup, I felt that Chu Ti was really good at it, but I still didn’t think it would be too great! After really trying the four dishes and one soup made by Chu Ti, I realized that we cooks are not even remotely inferior to Chu Chu Ti. , some ingredients processing that I didn’t understand before, after tasting the four dishes and one soup, I think I understand a little bit, and I am full of respect and admiration for Chef Ti!”

"I would also like to start with the stir-fried spring bamboo shoots. This dish may seem simple, but in fact Chef Tie has done special processing for the spring bamboo shoots. The process of rinsing the spring bamboo shoots with salt water may seem simple, but I think there is a deep meaning in it. The work is in it! I think it is precisely because of this seemingly simple washing that the spring bamboo shoots are so delicious, and the addictive crispiness must be related to this seemingly simple washing. After all, it’s just about controlling the heat. Overall, this dish is really good. I have never had such delicious stir-fried spring bamboo shoots before.”

"The highlight of the braised boxing dish is the addition of pork rib soup, but I feel that if I were to make it, even if I knew that I needed to add the pork rib soup, I would never be able to make it taste that good. It really feels incredible, if not Seeing it with my own eyes, I really can't believe that boxing vegetables can absorb so much soup in such a short period of time, and the original tough texture has not been damaged too much. It's really amazing. The rich meaty soup bursts in my mouth. Even thinking about it now, I can’t help but drool. I really didn’t know that ordinary dry food can be so delicious! "

"While handling the ribs, Chef Ti said that the quality of the ribs had been reduced due to contamination. I was very disdainful at the time! Even now, I still don't quite understand why the downgraded ribs taste better than the original ones, but I think this It still has something to do with Chef Ti’s special treatment. We need Chef Ti to talk about this with us. Generally speaking, the method of braised pork ribs is very novel and the taste is very good, whether it is pork ribs or pork ribs. Yam, or broth.”

"In the steamed grass carp dish, the main ingredient itself has not been specially processed by Tie Chu. He only focuses on the soups with different flavors and focuses on the control of the heat. This also gives me the ability to control the heat. It gave me a new understanding. I never expected that the meat quality of grass carp would be so different after the heat is set! It’s delicious. It’s really delicious. In terms of meat quality, I think I’m eating sea bass that’s more expensive than grass carp. The feeling of flower fish.”

"The mountain delicacies soup is so wonderful! This soup can be said to be the epitome of Tie Chu's cooking skills. The flavors of several kinds of fungi interact with each other and have distinct layers. This is not something I can imagine anyway. Even if I imagine it, I I don’t know how Ti Chu does this. Is it really just a different treatment of the ingredients?”

When Huang Ying finished speaking, there was applause in the kitchen. The chef is a chef after all. Bai Li just thought it tasted delicious. While Huang Ying thought it tasted delicious, she had a deep understanding, reflection and doubts, and her doubts were also those of the other few. A chef's doubts.

"I have said before that the deliciousness of food sometimes comes from the accumulation of details. If you just cook a piece of ribs that have been downgraded due to contamination, and do not add any special processing for comparison, then the difference will be very weak, or even average. Even the chefs can't taste it. Regarding this point, you just need to pay attention to it in the future and don't let the ingredients be contaminated. As for I will grill the ribs, which is a kind of remedy for the quality of the ingredients. I will give it some time later. You guys talked about some things about food recovery and special processing," Gu Zheng said.

"Chef Tie, I have a question." Li Tong said.

Gu Zheng nodded and motioned for Li Tong to continue.

"Since ordinary chefs can't taste it, is it necessary to handle it so carefully? Diners can't taste it, right? In addition, there doesn't seem to be a big difference between the different grades of ingredients!" Li Tong smiled.

"Again, the deliciousness of food sometimes comes from the accumulation of details. If you want to be an outstanding chef, then there are some things you need to pay attention to, because you are not only making delicious food for guests, but also It is also about improving your own abilities. As for whether the difference between different levels of ingredients is big, the difference is actually not small, especially after the ordinary level. As for the conclusion I just said that ordinary chefs can't taste it, this conclusion is based on the general level. When a chef cooks, for example, if I use two pieces of ribs to cook, one piece is contaminated and the other is not. If the ingredients are processed in the same way and the ingredients are the same, you can taste it. How big is the difference! After all, the ribs themselves need to be cooked, and they will naturally be affected by the cooking method. "

After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Li Tong stopped talking and became thoughtful.

"I will now answer Chef Huang's question about Shanzhen Soup. This matter is something that is still unclear. It is a kind of accumulation of experience. When I cook later, you just need to remember it carefully. I believe you You can quickly make a mountain delicacy soup with distinct textures. ”

Gu Zheng was not very happy after clarifying the confusion for Huang Ying and others. After all, he has not even reached the realm of 'Daoshengyi'. These delicacies in the eyes of Huang Ying and others are really not worth mentioning in his heart. .

"Don't worry, Chef Tie, I will definitely pay more attention to the food you cook in the future!"

"Me too!"

"I hope Chef Ti will teach us more!"

Hope was shining in the eyes of Huang Ying and others, but not all chefs were like them. A chef named Guo Fei shook his head helplessly.

"Chef Ti's cooking skills are incredible, but does this make sense?" Guo Fei said.

"Guo Fei, what do you mean?"

Huang Ying had already approved of Gu Zheng, but now that Guo Fei said such words, her brows immediately furrowed.

"Our business is not good right now, but fortunately, the speed of cooking is still very fast. If we cook like Tie Chu, the taste of the food will be improved, but the time will be much slower, and even the cost of cooking will be much higher. !" Guo Fei said.

"Chef Guo doesn't need to worry about this. As long as the food tastes good enough, are you afraid of losing business? Are you afraid that diners won't want to wait? It doesn't matter if the cost is high, you can definitely make it back!" Bai Li said.

"If there are too many diners and new troubles arise, will the Piaoxiang Building see us as a full house and the business is booming?"

Guo Fei's meaningful words made Bai Li frown, and a trace of sadness appeared between his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, just cook the food. We'll talk about other things later!" Bai Li said.

"By the way, there is one more thing you don't know, that is, from now on, this place will not be called Mangulou, but will be called Jixiang Xiaozhu!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly. As long as he was in this store, it would be difficult to do well in the store's business. At the same time, it is precisely because he is in this store that if someone wants to cause trouble, they have to get past him.

"One piece of grilled crucian carp and one piece of boiled flower peas!"

The waiter's voice announcing the dishes sounded at this moment.

"Chef, what do you think of this dish?" Huang Ying looked at Gu Zheng.

Having gained the recognition of the chefs, Gu Zheng is now considered a real chef. This is his first order as the chef, so Huang Ying naturally wants to ask him if he wants to do it himself.

"You guys do it! This is the last order for this restaurant as Ke Man Lou."

Gu Zheng paused and looked at Bai Li and said, "The layout of Ke Man Lou is a bit bad. You can find someone to change it according to my requirements later. By the way, close it for a day and formulate a menu for Ji Xiang Xiao Zhu."

"No problem, I'll do it now!"

Bai Li seemed very excited and immediately said goodbye and left the kitchen.

Chef outside Ke Man Lou announced that the craftsmen inside Ke Man Lou were changing the layout of the original restaurant.

For the change in the layout of the restaurant, Gu Zheng also wanted a room of his own. Although Bai Li wanted him to live in the Bai family, he preferred to live in Ji Xiang Xiao Zhu.

"Ji Xiang Xiao Zhu? What a weird name!"

"Ke Man Lou sounds better and has a good meaning."

"Ke Man Lou is also an old store, why did they change their name for no reason?"

"You don't know this, right? I heard that Ke Man Lou has a new chef. This is in response to the chef's request. Not only has the store been changed, but the menu has also changed! And, it is said that their new chef had a quarrel with the chef of Piao Xiang Lou at noon today!"

"Ah? Do you mean that Ke Man Lou, no, Ji Xiang Xiao Zhu is going to go against Piao Xiang Lou?"

"That should be it!"

"Hey, Bai Li is still a young man after all, and he certainly doesn't think much about what he does. Although his Bai family was born and raised in Qingfeng City, if they really fight with Piao Xiang Lou, I'm afraid there will be no good results!"

"Don't worry about it "I'm really worried. Let's just wait and see."

"To be honest, I'm still looking forward to this Jixiang Xiaozhu. Bai Li knew that the man had offended Piaoxianglou, but he still dared to hire him as the head chef. I'm afraid that this man's cooking skills are really extraordinary!"

"Of course, if his cooking skills are average, he can't even pass Huang Ying's test. I know Huang Ying very well. Without certain means, it would be very difficult to get her to give up the position of head chef!"

"By the way, what do you think the head chef of Jixiang Xiaozhu looks like? What's his name? How old is he?"

"He looks average, in his twenties, and I'm not sure what his name is. Anyway, everyone in Jixiang Xiaozhu calls him the chef."

The notice outside Jixiang Xiaozhu attracted many people. During the one-day closing time, Jixiang Xiaozhu became the focus of discussion among the residents of Qingfeng City.

Although Jixiang Xiaozhu was changing its layout, Gu Zheng was not idle. He taught the chefs cooking skills as much as possible in the kitchen. Jixiang Xiaozhu will open at noon tomorrow. There will definitely be many diners who are willing to try it out. Gu Zheng can't cook every dish himself, so it is necessary to train the chefs.

However, there is only one day, and Gu Zheng can't talk about complicated things. He mainly tells the chefs the special processing methods of ingredients. He doesn't ask the chefs to learn the essence quickly, but only asks them to copy.

In addition, Gu Zheng also has to prepare some dishes that take a long time to cook and may be ordered tomorrow.

At noon the next day, Jixiang Xiaozhu officially opened, and many diners who were waiting outside the door immediately poured into the restaurant.

"This..."

"Should we do this? It's too exaggerated!"

"Is Bai Li going to open a black shop?"

"Too expensive? The original 80-cent sauce chicken costs 120 cents here!"

"The original 60-cent blanched pork liver costs 90 cents here!"

"The original 100-cent sauce tripe costs 150 cents here!"

"Black, it's really too black!"

When the diners saw the menu, they were immediately stimulated and shouted.

"What are you shouting about?"

The waiter, who was supposed to be polite, suddenly shouted, and the diners immediately quieted down. They were stunned by the waiter's shouting. They didn't expect that a waiter would dare to shout at them.

"A black shop? No matter what dish is yelled at, the price is marked. How can you say we are a black shop? No one is forcing you to buy! In addition, this is Jixiang Xiaozhu. Don't use the standards of ordinary restaurants to measure this place. It dares to charge such a high price, so the taste is justified! Moreover, not all dishes have increased in price. There are still some dishes whose prices have not changed. If you don't want to try dishes that taste better and are more expensive, then you can order dishes that have not increased in price!"

While the diners were yelled at, the waiter stiffened his neck and said this. If Gu Zheng hadn't told him to be tough in advance, he would never dare to show such an attitude.

"What did you say, kid?"

The diners who were yelled at quickly woke up, and someone yelled at them immediately. Being yelled at by a waiter was a very embarrassing thing.

"I advise you not to yell, otherwise you will suffer. This is Jixiang Xiaozhu. It is important to keep quiet!"

The waiter pointed to the wall, where the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu were posted. Anyone who yelled would be treated as a troublemaker. Moreover, along with the waiter's voice, two guards of the Bai family also stood behind the waiter, as if they were going to throw out whoever made a noise!

The people who were originally a little angry suddenly calmed down, but some people couldn't stand the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu and left immediately.

"Tie, Tiechu, is this really okay?"

Huang Ying and others were upstairs. They knew exactly what happened downstairs. Now that they saw someone just leave, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

"It's okay. This is just the pain of changing the rules." Gu Zheng said indifferently.

"Chef, is the price really a bit expensive?"

Bai Li was a little unsure now. Gu Zheng participated in the customization of the price. If he had the final say, he would never set it so high.

"Don't worry. If it's completely according to my plan, then the price I set will definitely be higher than it is now!"

Gu Zheng smiled. Although he has not yet reached the realm of 'Tao Sheng Yi', he is confident that his cooking skills can keep these people's appetite. Besides, business is something that cannot be done by everyone. As long as it can be done by some people, it will be fine.
