Want a cook or a son

During the Spring Festival, the Chen family's "Ziweixuan" customers came like a cloud, making a lot of money, coupled with deliberate publicity and guidance, the reputation of the Chen family rose suddenly, and the city's gourmet tabloids also began to compete. According to the report, the entire "Taste of Taste" began to show the atmosphere of Zhenzhen Xiangrong.

Editor-in-Chief Hao was sitting in front of the computer proofreading a health-care report when he heard a shout from outside the door: "Editor-in-Chief, your takeaway has arrived."

Today is the Lantern Festival, but it’s a pity that editors don’t have a holiday at all, so editor-in-chief Hao ordered two Lantern Festivals at Baichi early, and now when he heard that the takeaway arrived, he jumped off the stool and rushed to the door. If you are rushing out, you are afraid that your delicious food will be robbed if you go late.

You must know that the Lantern Festival at Baichi Restaurant is not easy to book. There are only a thousand copies in total. If you book late, even if you have a VIP gold card, you won’t be able to get in. The fact that he can take two copies is entirely due to his personal relationship with Chef Bai. , Of course, there is also Bai Chi's selfishness in this. Who told Editor-in-Chief Hao to be a gourmet editor and has a good reputation, and sending two copies of Lantern Festival to let him have a good word in the magazine, this deal is not bad at all.

When he came back with the Lantern Festival in his hands, Editor-in-Chief Hao was floating, and he still protected the food box in his arms with both hands, for fear that his colleagues would come up to share a piece of the pie.

There were two small bowls in the food box, both of which were covered with heat-insulating lids. Editor Hao rubbed his hands, and lifted one of the lids excitedly and expectantly. Inside were warm red bean dumplings, which were sweet and refreshing. The aroma of the rice immediately occupied all the space in the office. In the sticky and soft red bean soup, there were a few small white and round dumplings floating and sinking. The things I own are little powder balls, which look very cute.

The red bean soup was sprinkled with a thin layer of sweet-scented osmanthus, which exudes a refreshing fragrance under the influence of the heat. Editor-in-Chief Hao took a deep breath and closed his eyes intoxicated, as if he was in the osmanthus forest in autumn, but there are more sweet-scented osmanthus than sweet-scented osmanthus. It's sweet and greasy.

After opening his eyes, editor-in-chief Hao gently stirred the red bean soup with a white spoon. Because of the long-time stewing, the red bean soup became very viscous, and when he ate it in his mouth, he could clearly feel the softness of the red bean. In addition to the sweetness of red beans and the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus, there is also the faint fragrance of lotus root powder mixed in. Yes, lotus root starch must be added in it, otherwise the red bean soup would not be so delicate and smooth.

Editor-in-Chief Hao laughed. Chef Bai always surprises him, even the red bean soup takes so much effort.

After several sips in a row, editor-in-chief Hao reluctantly put down his spoon and turned to another bowl of delicacies. With red beans and small yuanxiao pearls in front, the other bowl of glutinous rice balls must not be much worse.

Sure enough, as soon as the lid was lifted, the rich milky fragrance wafted out, and the white, purple, green, yellow, and black five-color glutinous rice balls came into view. The proper color matching made the whole bowl of glutinous rice balls bright and not messy, and all of them were round. Duh, soaked in the milky white soup, very eye-catching, with a layer of sweet-scented osmanthus sprinkled on top, the aroma spreads out with the taste of milk.

Editor-in-Chief Hao knew before that Bai Chi paid much attention to the color of dishes, but he did not expect that he would pay attention to this point. This is both the advantage of Bai Chi and the shortcoming of Bai Chi. After all, when the chef pays too much attention to the appearance of the dishes, he will ignore the appearance of the dishes. "Scent" and "taste", fortunately, he hasn't found this phenomenon in Bai Chi yet.

The glutinous rice balls are so beautifully made that they are pleasing to the eye, but they are not willing to eat them. Editor-in-Chief Hao can't bear to look at this one, but he still can't bear to look at that one. All of them are just like Fuwa, so how can he let him down!

After struggling for a long time, editor-in-chief Hao stretched out his claws to the black glutinous rice balls. After all, it was the only black glutinous rice ball among so many glutinous rice balls. Editor-in-Chief Hao sighed and bit the skin cruelly. Almost instantly, the rich sesame paste inside surged out, mixed with the aroma of peanuts and walnuts, filling his entire mouth.

At the same time, the glutinous rice balls are also wrapped with rich milk, which is clear and sweet, but not too greasy. Bai Chi always has the ability to control the taste of food at the most comfortable level, and he can easily grasp it. People's taste buds, this milk is just right to match with sesame paste, making the whole taste of glutinous rice balls smoother and richer, making people addicted once they eat it.

Editor-in-Chief Hao’s heart of pity and pity was gone after eating one. He couldn’t wait to put another spoonful of purple glutinous rice balls into his mouth. It smelled like purple cabbage. The taste was different from the previous glutinous rice balls, but equally delicious.

The movement on his side immediately attracted the attention of other colleagues. Those who work in gourmet magazines, even if they have never eaten the dishes of Baichi's family, they have heard of the name of his restaurant. Drooling came up.

Editor-in-chief Hao panicked when he saw the posture of the crowd, and quickly covered the two bowls of glutinous rice balls with his hand, making a joke, there is only so much in these two bowls, even if he eats them all, it will not be enough for him to be half full. I haven't tasted enough delicious food yet, how could it be divided up by the wolves.

The onlookers were a little disappointed when they saw this. It was because the two bowls of Yuanxiao were so fragrant that they hooked their greedy worms. A bold little fat man asked him: "Editor-in-chief, where did you buy these two glutinous rice balls? I'll go buy a copy after work."

Editor-in-Chief Hao patted his hand that touched the side of the bowl, and said angrily: "I ordered this from Chef Bai's restaurant. It only sells [-] copies today, and it was sold out a few days ago. You go now Also go for nothing."

"Oh, so it's from his family, no wonder," the fat man said a little awkwardly, "You said that Chef Bai is engaged in hunger marketing even though his business is so good. Isn't this a pretentious gesture? Other restaurants are open during the Spring Festival." He is good at welcoming customers at the gate, and closed it for the whole Spring Festival, and I heard that his online shop also spends three days fishing and two days posting online, I really don’t know why so many people still support it.”

The female editor beside him smiled and said, "With the Yu family behind him, of course people will praise him, and that Chef Bai's cooking skills are really good, this is the capital of his daring to be self-willed."

The little fat man was noncommittal: "Chef Bai's cooking skills are really good. I have tasted his dishes, and they are really good, but they are not as bad as the rumors. I think Chen's restaurant is good, especially their new dishes recently. style, now there are so many guests, and the Internet is full of praise.”

"The Chen family?" Editor-in-Chief Hao looked at him with a half-smile, "Did they ask you to write an article recently?"

The little fat man's face turned red, and he sneered and denied it: "I didn't write this, it's what other media said."

"The Chen family really spent a lot of money this time." Editor-in-chief Hao stopped entangled with the little fat man and turned on the computer to find news about the Chen family restaurant. It was very high, and there was a diner inside who praised the food of the Chen family with the utmost exaggeration, and he didn't feel too blush.

Editor-in-Chief Hao looked at the computer and at the two Lantern Festivals in his hand, feeling that the impulse of his youth had returned.

When Wade White went to the restaurant the next day, he felt that the atmosphere inside was not quite right. Everyone had a distorted expression that caused internal injuries from holding back their laughter. Wade Wade was puzzled, so he simply grabbed Xiao Wu and asked why. A person who can speak well, immediately told the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that during this period of time, the Chen family relied on their enthusiasm for innovative dishes to buy media reviews. At first, it did have some effect. With the Chen family's century-old reputation as the responsibility, and without the competition from White Pool, the business naturally went smoothly, but yesterday Editor-in-Chief Hao’s review turned the good situation into a sudden turn for the worse. There was no big criticism in this review, but just commented on the Chen family’s New Year’s Eve dinner in the tone of diners. From the signature dish Buddha Jumping over the Wall to various dishes, praise should be praised and derogatory Deprecated, until the last dish was reviewed, there was no smell of gunpowder.

It's just that the words in the next paragraph became fierce in an instant. First, I talked about the foundation of the Chen family for a century, and then summarized the essence of the inheritance of the Chen family restaurant. The dishes can be innovated, but the advice that the special features should not be discarded.

Then he changed the topic again, mentioned the chef of the signature dish this time, Chef Jin, and divided his Buddha Jumping Wall into three stages, pointing out its characteristics respectively, saying that the stage at White Pool Restaurant was the peak period of his Buddha Jumping Wall, step by step After entering the "Ziweixuan", it lost its taste. The most important thing is that the dishes prepared by him have obvious Chef Bai's style, but they are empty and inconspicuous. After combining the characteristics of the Chen family, it makes people The characteristics of the two have disappeared, which makes people sigh.

Editor-in-Chief Hao is still very famous in the industry. His remarks instantly exploded in the media. The diners have a steelyard in their hearts, especially those old foodies. Naturally, they know the changes in the Chen family during this period. They love food. They regard it as an inviolable enjoyment of life. Although Bai Chi's cooking skills make them salivate, they also miss the delicious food of Chen's family. Due to Chef Jin's resignation, Bai Chi's restaurant once stopped serving "Buddha Jumping Wall". However, at this time, Chef Jin's signature was selling "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall", and it was still during the closure of Baichi. For the trust and friendship of the Chen family, those diners naturally went to the Chen family restaurant.

Although the taste of "Buddha Tiaoqiang" is not satisfactory, it is better than nothing, and they did not enter "Ziweixuan" to eat this cup of "Buddha Tiaoqiang", but when most of the dishes of the Chen family innovated and lost their When they were attached to the special features, they quit. Some were disappointed, some were regrettable, and some were sad. It was not a pity that Chef Jin could not make the original "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", but a pity that the Chen family did not stick to their old tradition.

The taste in memory cannot be replaced by all newly launched delicacies.

Therefore, Editor-in-Chief Hao's comments resonated with the old gourmets, who expressed their disappointment with the Chen family. Other diners also spurned the behavior of the Chen family. Digging the corner of Baichi ruined his own foundation.

When Bai Chi told the screenwriter Chen the news, the screenwriter Chen just smiled contemptuously: "Mr. Chen's voice is so strong, he can even give up his own life for the Chen family, but he is not a conservative material, and he insists on imitating others to open up borders." Tu, when he was young, he did a lot of things that harmed others and benefited himself. It is his retribution that the Chen family will fall to such a point. Now he is here to make your idea, but it is a pity that he did not count the hearts of the diners. They want In retrospect, he chose to engage in innovation, it's no wonder the Chen family is undefeated."

Bai Chi was silent for a while and said: "I heard from Haoran that Mr. Chen was sent to the hospital this morning. I heard that he had a stroke. After being rescued by the doctor, he came back to life, but he was paralyzed."

Screenwriter Chen's body froze suddenly, and then he pulled the corner of his lower lip and said, "It really is retribution."

The room suddenly became quiet, Bai Chi carefully observed the expression of screenwriter Chen, and tentatively asked: "Dad, Mr. Chen has become like this, do we need to see him?"

In fact, Bai Chi didn't mean to regard Mr. Chen as an elder at all, but he is the father of screenwriter Chen after all. In case, screenwriter Chen will regret it.

Screenwriter Chen didn't respond, and rubbed the sore corners of his eyes with his fingers and said, "Don't worry about this. Even if Mr. Chen has any accidents, it has nothing to do with you. You are my son, but not his grandson."

Speaking of this, Bai Chi didn't have much to say, and got up and left after talking about the daily life for a while.

Screenwriter Chen sat alone in the living room, looking out the window with scattered eyes. The tall buildings in the distance gradually blurred. He didn't expect that as strong as Mr. Chen, he would fall down one day.

In the afternoon, screenwriter Chen drove to the hospital, which was the last meeting.
