private kitchen

He Qingshan's biggest advantage is that he is quick to learn. After he succeeded once last night, the feeling of doing it again today has improved, and he has never misunderstood the fire again.

Elder Zhou stared at the side for a long time but didn't find anything wrong, and finally he could only walk away with a sullen face and a haughty snort.

As soon as the old man came out, he was stopped by Lin Yize and dragged to his office. The old man drank tea and looked at him sideways: "What do you want to do, kid?"

Lin Yize approached with a playful smile: "Hey, it's nothing serious, hey, Mr. Zhou, what do you think..." He took a sip of tea: "To be honest, what do you think of Qingshan?"

Elder Zhou glanced at him again, and said ambiguously, "Well...it's okay...what's the matter?"

Lin Yize smiled: "Hey, isn't this small courtyard about to be renovated, I thought... If you think he's okay... let's go next month..."

Mr. Zhou pondered for a while before he said slowly: "Qingshan, it's not so good if he is alone, but the advantage is that he improves quickly and feels good. If the small courtyard is going to open, it's not impossible, but I have to take him a few more times. Train him hard..."

Hearing what he said, Lin Yize became happy all of a sudden, he cupped his hands: "Then I'm going to trouble Mr. Zhou, but..." He gave a ghostly smile: "We still need to promote..."

In fact, you don't have to worry too much about the small courtyard's publicity, with Lin Yize's reputation and Mr. Zhou's movable type signboard, diners will naturally flock to it. What Lin Yize wants is to find a way to push He Qingshan out, and it's best to keep it a little more mysterious.

Lin Yize first wanted to use his grandfather's name as a signboard, but later he denied this idea himself. One is that Mr. He has passed away for a long time and not many people know about it. Besides, if the old man is revealed, there will be many troubles in his life. The other is that he is afraid He Qingshan was not happy, although the little cook was still respectful to him now, but he knew that it was because he was in the way of his face as the boss, the kid might really have a bad temper.

Mr. Zhou meant to ask He Qingshan to try it while the TV station was holding a food competition, but it was quickly rejected. The competition took a long time and involved many insiders. Besides, He Qingshan is not the kind of person who can talk and catch people's attention.

The two of them were discussing, when Lin Yize's cell phone rang suddenly, he picked it up and hummed a few words, then turned his head with a smile on his face.

The caller was a friend from Lin Yize's business. The two had a good relationship. The friend was doing business in a foreign country some time ago. He said that he was getting sick because of the trouble caused by western food. He wanted to come to Lin Yize to have a good meal and wash his stomach. , This is not a big deal, but it just so happens that my friend is a relatively famous gourmet in the catering industry. He has many friends and is a bit big-mouthed. Every time he eats something good, he can't wait to shout. The whole world knows it.

This person is very picky about food, even when Lin Yize eats with him, he feels that this person is not picky about taste, but he also likes to hunt for novelty, the more strange and novel the method, the more he likes it.

He has been here twice, and he has always been the head chef of Chef Liu. The first time he ate, he was happy, but the second time he started nagging that there was no freshness and highlights. This time is the third time Come on, I was yelling on the phone just now to ask Lin Yize to bring out the best dishes.

Taken together, although He Qingshan is still immature in many aspects, this is indeed a good opportunity to make a name for himself.

Boss Zou always likes to eat innovative dishes. He has a habit. When he goes to a restaurant, he doesn’t look at the menu or order. Just walk away.

Boss Zou is a middle-aged man in his early 40s. He looks smart and capable, and his clothes are very casual. It seems that he really came to see friends for a meal and drink. Lin Yize had already prepared, and took him to a small private room when he came. .

The waiter built him a pot of premium Longjing. Boss Zou took a sip slowly and nodded slightly in satisfaction. He turned his head and said to the waiter: "Where is your boss, didn't you say you want to give me a surprise? Hurry up!" Your boss will bring you the best dishes."

Lin Yize opened the door and walked over, patted Boss Zou on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Brother Zou, are you very hungry?"

Boss Zou looked at him and laughed: "Brother Lin, it's been a long time. Didn't you say that you want to treat me to a different dish? My stomach, which has been eating Western food for half a month, needs to be comforted! Won't you hurry up?"

Lin Yize smiled mysteriously, and lowered his voice: "Don't worry, I'm going to let you have a good meal this time!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the waiter immediately came in with a few dishes.

First came a few small cold dishes for appetizers, four or five small white porcelain dishes, on which were placed finely crafted small cold dishes.

Boss Zou frowned and looked at the few dishes in front of him. Although the workmanship was exquisite, they were nothing more than a few home-cooked cold dishes. Lin Yize seemed to see what he was thinking, and poured him another cup of hot tea: "Eat something first. As an appetizer, it can’t be a hard dish as soon as it comes up!”

Boss Zou picked up the dessert in front of him. He likes sweets, so this dish suits his appetite. It is a platter of thin slices of white and yellow. In the mouth, um... the yellow ones are chestnuts, boiled soft and smooth, it seems to be mixed with honey, the white ones are crushed yams, the taste is relatively light, delicate and smooth, with a touch of sweet-scented osmanthus on top, the aroma pleasant.

"This is really good! Sweet but not greasy!!" Boss Zou ate it smoothly, and picked up each dish one by one. Although the ingredients and appearance of these cold dishes are quite ordinary, they all taste very good. Wiping his mouth, took a sip of tea, and couldn't help urging: "Brother, it's time to eat, it's time for the main course!"

Lin Yize laughed, clapped his hands, the waiter opened the door and started serving food.

The first dish is a plate of tofu, which is very beautifully arranged. The 16 yuan square tender tofu is arranged in a flower shape. The tofu is rolled in oil and cut into a thickness of about half a centimeter. It is browned and tender and poured with amber soup. , with tender red ham and emerald green onions on the side, Boss Zou picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, he only felt salty and sweet, with a scent of Huadiao wine, tasted it carefully, this tofu was not bland The taste is like hanging with chicken soup. It is full of body fluid when you bite it. The outer skin is slightly burnt, but the inner part melts in the mouth. The taste is very layered.

Boss Zou ate five or six yuan in a row before stopping to praise him.

Lin Yize explained next to him: "This is the tofu we ground ourselves. The old skin was removed from both sides, rolled in chicken broth, added Huadiao wine, prawn meat and tender ham, rolled several times with sugar, and then added 120 segments of fine spices. Boil the shallots together, start the slow cooker, pour the hot oil in the end, and then put the ham and shallots together on the plate, Boss Zou, what do you think?"

"Not bad, not bad! It's done finely, just..." He hesitated for a moment: "The taste of chicken soup and Huadiao wine is a bit strong, you can reconsider the mixing ratio!"

Lin Yize nodded with a smile, and took a piece himself: "Brother Zou is right, the taste of this chicken soup conceals the umami taste of tofu, it's a bit overwhelming!" He knocked on the table, and the waiter brought it up again second course.
