Chinese chef

57 Lychee Chicken Balls

After tasting the diced chicken in his mouth for a while, the old man still shook his head.

The waiter's face also slowly collapsed.

Why does this guy feel like he's here to make trouble?

"Waiter, this dish is wrong!" said the old man.

"Mister, why is this dish wrong?" the waiter asked with a forced smile.

"This dish is not made by the chef!" said the old man.

The waiter's face immediately turned cold.

"This dish is made by our chef, and I watched him make it with my own eyes!" the waiter said decisively.

He watched Chef Gao make this dish with his own eyes, but this person still said that it wasn't made by the chef.

This is simply looking for trouble!

At this time, Lu Yun also noticed the situation here and walked over immediately.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yun asked.

"Sister Yun, this guest said that he wanted the chef's dish. I changed the dishes for him three times, and I watched Gao's dish with my own eyes. He still said that it was not the chef's dish. He is simply Looking for trouble on purpose!" said the waiter.

"What do you mean? Why did I deliberately find trouble? This is indeed not the dish made by your chef! It's really... Two days ago, I thought that Zhonghua Building finally had a new change. When I saw it today, it turned out to be It's getting worse!" the old man said angrily.

At this time, Gao Kai's voice came over.

"My guest, I made this dish." Gao Kai walked over quickly, looked at the old man and said, "I am the chef of Zhonghua Building, my name is Gao Kai, if you are not satisfied with the dish, it may be me I’m not good enough. I apologize to you! But if you insist that this dish was not made by the chef, then I’m sorry, but I have to invite you out! We don’t welcome people who cause trouble without reason!”

After Gao Kai made the third [Shacha Chicken Ding] in the back kitchen just now, he felt uneasy, so he followed him out to see which customer was so picky.

Unexpectedly, the customer who ordered [Shacha Chicken Ding] kept saying "this is not made by the chef".

As soon as he heard this, he became angry on the spot.

This is simply to make trouble!

Let me just say, this customer is too picky. I also made the previous dish, but he insisted that it was not made by the chef.

Moreover, this third dish still says so.

It sounds like I'm not here to eat, but to find trouble!

"Chef Gao, don't get excited, don't get excited, it's a guest." Lu Yun quickly grabbed Gao Kai, trying to persuade him to calm down.

Because the chef has been in contact with the stove for a long time, the kitchen environment is relatively stuffy, coupled with the fact that he warms up to the fire every day and has a heavy workload, so his temper is generally not very good.

That is to say, Chef Mu has the best temper. He has never scolded anyone in the back kitchen, and he is very patient when teaching cooking.

Every time Lu Yun sees Mu Feng, she always has a special feeling. Although Mu Feng is not very old, she always feels that this is probably what a master of the culinary world looks like!

Unlike other chefs in the back kitchen, he is not very capable, but has a strong temper.

Of course, none of the chefs dared to lose their temper with her. After all, she was not easy to provoke, mainly because the waiters under her hands would be scolded when they were not able to move well.

As for those who also work in the back kitchen, they will suffer.Especially when the meal time is very busy, being scolded is regarded as a life adjustment.

Gao Kai was held by Lu Yun's arm, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

In fact, as a chef, especially the head chef, he is very aware of the importance of customers to a restaurant, so he will not lose his temper at will unless it is really unbearable.

Don't look at him usually scolding those bastards in the back kitchen, he scolds very smoothly.

But I really didn't get too angry with the guests, after all, the guests are the parents of food and clothing!

But what the guest said today was too unreasonable.

how?I don't know if I'm a chef myself, you know?

After hearing Gao Kai's words, the old man was stunned for a moment. Although he was a little uncomfortable with Gao Kai's attitude, he still said calmly: "I'll say it again, I'm not here to make trouble! You just said you were the chef, didn't you?" ?”

"Yes, I am the chef!" Gao Kai replied.

"You are the biggest chef in Zhonghua Building? Are there no other chefs? Are you the head chef or the executive chef?" the old man asked.

Gao Kai was stunned after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, there is no executive chef in Zhonghua Building, because Shi Nancheng is directly managing it.

Although Shi Nancheng doesn't know how to cook, he knows how to eat, he also knows everything about the back kitchen, and he knows how to manage it.

As for the head chef, he is the only head chef in Zhonghua Building.

Before Mu Feng came, the head chef position was originally vacant. Later, Mu Feng became a gourmet consultant. Shi Nancheng thought that there was no need to continue recruiting a chef anyway, so he simply helped him out.

But if anyone is to say who is the biggest chef in Zhonghua Building, it must be Mu Feng.

However, Mu Feng is not the head chef of Zhonghua Building, but a gourmet consultant, and usually does not cook for the guests of Zhonghua Building.

Gao Kai stroked for a long time, and finally confirmed that he was indeed the biggest chef in Zhonghua Building, and also the only head chef.

"Yes, I am the biggest chef in Zhonghua Building." Gao Kai said.

"Does your Zhonghua Building offer takeaway?" The old man asked with a frown after hearing Gao Kai's affirmative answer.

Now he is a little suspicious that the takeaway he ate two days ago is not from Zhonghua Building.

Could it be that Zhonghualou authorized the trademark to be used by other catering companies?

If this is the case, then there will be a big oolong today!

The old man was a little embarrassed.

Gao Kai and Lu Yun were stunned after hearing this, why are they talking about takeaway again?

"Yes, our Zhonghua Building has takeaways." Lu Yun replied.

Although he didn't understand the other party's intentions, Lu Yun's habit was to avoid conflicts as much as possible.

"Hey, that's strange. How come the dishes you cook yourself are different from the chef's special dishes I ate that day?" The old man was taken aback after hearing Lu Yun's words.

Chef's Special?takeout!

It was so!

Lu Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Gao Kai was very depressed. Sure enough, the dishes cooked by the master are much more delicious than mine!

Even though Mu Feng is a full dozen years younger than him, his culinary attainments are indeed higher than him by more than one level.

All he could do was sigh the word "serve".

"Mr., did the takeaway you ate two days ago come in a red lunch box?" Lu Yun reconfirmed.

"Yes! It's in a red lunch box with the name of your Zhonghua Building written on it. According to my grandson, it was made by the chief chef of your Zhonghua Building." The old man said immediately.

Having said that, even if I didn't understand it before, it's all clear now.

It turned out that he was here for Chef Mu Fengmu, no, it should be said that it was Consultant Mu.

However, Mu Feng is not the head chef in the normal establishment of the back kitchen of Zhonghua Building, that's why there was such a big oolong.

At this moment, Gao Kai felt that his existence as a chef was rapidly becoming smaller, and then smaller.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr., what you are looking for should be the gourmet consultant of our Zhonghua Building, Mu Fengmu consultant."

"Gourmet consultant? Isn't it the chef? What is the position of this food consultant?" The old man looked puzzled.

He thought for a while, but he didn't seem to have heard of any restaurant having the position of food consultant!

"It can also be said that he is the chief chef of our Zhonghua Building, but he rarely cooks himself." Gao Kai said.

"That's it! Then I would like to ask, is there any way to eat the dishes he made by himself?" the old man said.

"This..." Gao Kai was a little dazed. There was no such precedent before, and he didn't know how to answer it. It didn't seem very good to directly refuse.

He wanted to tell the other party that he could go to Suji for dinner at night, but after thinking about it, he thought it was impossible.

You must know that due to the large scale of Zhonghua Building, the large number of workers and the accumulation of various costs, the price of the dishes is much higher than that of Su Ji!

If others know that Su Ji's chef is the chief chef of Zhonghua Building, how will Zhonghua Building operate in the future?

Although some diners knew that Mu Feng once appeared on a TV show on behalf of Zhonghua Building, Mu Feng explained to the public that he was a teacher in Zhonghua Building.

Therefore, he will represent Zhonghualou on the show.

You know, apprenticeship and becoming a master are two completely different concepts.

Can't say, can't say...

Gao Kai shook his head secretly.

"Old man, you can order takeaway from our Zhonghua Building!" Lu Yun said with a smile.

"As long as I order, will I be able to eat the dishes made by the chief chef?" the old man asked.

"This... our chief chef will make five takeaways by himself every day, and deliver them randomly." Lu Yun said.

"Random is the same as a lottery?" said the old man.

"You can say that," Lu Yun said.

"Can I increase the price directly? Ten times the price. What do you think?" the old man asked.

Gao Kai listened at the side, ten times!Ten times the price, when can I reach this level!

I really want someone to pay ten times the price to eat the dishes I cook, no, five times the price is fine too!

"This... I'm sorry, old man, if you do this, it will violate the original intention of setting up this special takeaway." Lu Yun said awkwardly.

No matter how the outside hype raises the price, these five special takeaways from Zhonghua Building must be the same price as other takeaways.

Moreover, it must be randomly distributed among all diners who ordered meals!

Only in this way is it fair and everyone has a chance!

This is the iron law that Shi Nancheng and Mu Feng set when they started making special takeaways.

What I'm afraid of is that the people under his hands will see the money and increase the price at will in private.

Because anything that is scarce, there must be someone to grab it.

But if you can buy it if you have money, then there is no point in setting up this special takeaway!

This special takeaway is mainly to attract a large number of ordinary diners.

After the special takeaway is delivered, Zhonghualou won’t or can’t care what the customers do with it.

However, at least when going out from Zhonghua Building, all diners should be treated equally.

The old man fell silent after hearing Lu Yun's words. To be honest, he definitely has enough financial resources to order hundreds of takeaways, so that no matter how small the chances are, he can always eat the dishes made by the chief chef himself.

However, he didn't want to do this. He was not the kind of person who would spend a lot of money just to get a good meal.

He is a businessman and is very sensitive to prices. He thinks that ten times the price is already very high.

If not, then you can only give up.

"Is there really no other way to eat the dishes made by the chief chef?" the old man asked.

After hearing this, Lu Yun smiled very embarrassedly, thought for a while, and said, "Mr., how about this! Our chief chef should come to Zhonghua Building soon, and I will ask you about it at that time." Look, do you think this is okay?"

"Okay, then I'll wait first." The old man said.

"Old man, you can eat something first, this is made by our chef Gao, and it is delicious." Lu Yun said with a smile.

"No, I tried it just now, I'll wait for the chief chef!" The old man waved his hand and said.

Okay, I'd better go back to the back kitchen!

What a shame!

Gao Kai wanted to cry but had no tears, so he simply couldn't see it. After saying hello to the old man, he went back to the back kitchen.

After a while, a waiter came to inform that Shi Nancheng and Mu Feng had entered through the back door.

After Lu Yun greeted the old man, he quickly ran to the back door to greet him.

After meeting the two of them, Lu Yun explained clearly to them what happened just now.

"Because I ate a box lunch, so I found it here? It's ten times the price, which is strange." Mu Feng scratched his forehead and said with a smile.

"Oh, this is a local rich fan!" Shi Nancheng said with a smile.

"This man's mouth is really powerful!" Mu Feng said with a smile.

Generally speaking, although Mu Feng's dishes are delicious, Gao Kai's skills are not weak after being taught by Mu Feng. Under normal circumstances, ordinary diners cannot distinguish so accurately.

At most, I feel that it doesn't seem to have that amazing feeling when I eat it, but I still think it is delicious.

It is easy to tell the difference between 'delicious' and 'unpalatable' in a dish, but the difference between 'delicious' and 'very tasty' is not so clear.

I feel that this kind of thing is very subtle after all. Ordinary diners generally understand that it is because factors such as the environment and atmosphere at that time affect the mood of eating, so they feel amazing after eating.

Few people can taste different tastes so clearly like this old man.

"Let me go and have a look!" Mu Feng was also quite interested in this old man.

Now that it's past the meal time, there are no customers in the Zhonghua Building, and there is no need to worry about being known by other guests.

After listening, Lu Yun led Mu Feng over.

When he came to the lobby, Mu Feng saw an old gentleman with gray hair and an extraordinary bearing sitting on a chair from afar.

The three walked over slowly, and the waiters who passed by greeted them one after another.

The old man also guessed the identity of the person from the reactions of the people around him.

But, why do these two people look so young?

Either way, it doesn't look like a head chef.

Judging by the attitude of the waiters and foremen towards them, could it be that they are the chef's close disciples?

Although the old man was puzzled, he stood up to show respect.

Of course, normally speaking, he is an elder or a guest, so he doesn't have to stand up.

However, he feels that the person who can make such delicious dishes is definitely a master.

He naturally has a feeling of respect for the master.

Therefore, even if he is only a disciple of the master, he feels that he should show respect.

"Hello, old man." Mu Feng stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Hello." The old man nodded.

"I heard from Sister Yun that you came here specifically to find the chief chef?" Mu Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, last time I ate the takeaway made by your chef, I had a lot of aftertaste! Haha." The old man smiled, and then asked, "Excuse me, is the chief chef here?"

"Here I am!" Mu Feng said with a smile.

"You?" The old man was taken aback.

Such a young head chef?

Although there are no absolutes in the world, such a young chief chef finds it strange!

"How old are you?" the old man asked.

"26." Mu Feng replied.

Well, it's not that she looks young, but she is really young!

"Well, are you really the chief chef of Zhonghua Building?" the old man asked again.

"Of course, if it's fake!" Mu Feng nodded.

"...Then can you please make me a shacha chicken?" The old man said with a smile.

It doesn't matter, age doesn't matter, whether you are a chief chef or not, you can tell by your cooking skills.

Presumably, Zhonghualou wouldn't find someone to lie to me, right?

"Okay, then sit down for a while." Mu Feng said.

The old man nodded with a smile.

Mu Feng went back to the kitchen and quickly finished [Shacha Chicken Ding].

The waiter brought over the diced chicken, and before he got close, the old man smelled a spicy smell with his keen sense of smell.

When you raise your eyebrows, that's the smell!

When the food was on the table, he took a closer look, then nodded, the appearance was good, very similar to the diced chicken that he ate at that time.

I put a piece of diced chicken into my mouth, chewed it, the familiar taste began to surge from the tip of my tongue, and instantly swept across my mouth.

Yes, yes, this is the taste!

The old man's face quickly transitioned from surprise to surprise, and even the end of his eyebrows began to smile.

"Waiter, a bowl of rice!" He shouted.

The waiter deftly brought a bowl of rice.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yun felt inexplicably satisfied. Every time she saw diners eating with gusto, she always felt proud.

In the back kitchen, Mu Feng began to teach the chefs how to cook.

"Today, let's make lychee chicken balls." Mu Feng said, and asked the staff to prepare all the ingredients needed.

Wash and chop the scallions and ginger, then shell the lychees, wash and cut the red and yellow peppers.

"Are the ingredients ready?" Mu Feng asked.

"Okay." The chefs replied in unison.

"Next, let's start with the seasoning sauce, pepper powder, salt, and the ratio of oyster sauce and starch. They are..." Mu Feng said as he seasoned the sauce.

After the sauce was adjusted, he immediately began to chop the chicken breast. After chopping the chicken breast into a fine meat paste, he beat in the eggs, added cooking wine and salt, and then mixed it clockwise until it was strong, and then kneaded it into meatballs.

"This chicken mash must be stirred thoroughly, otherwise the meatballs will not taste good. Take your time, don't worry, I will teach you the next step after you have done this step well," Mu Feng said.

After speaking, he began to inspect the chefs' minced meat.

Gao Kai and the others are relatively powerful, so there is no need for Mu Feng to say more, they all understand these basic common sense.

Mu Feng is mainly inspecting those chefs with poor foundation.

Some of them were inexperienced, and some were worried that Mu Feng would speak too fast and could not keep up.

That's why Mu Feng stopped at some important key points and tirelessly reminded them repeatedly.

If other chefs give lectures, most of them cook by themselves, and it is up to the students whether they can keep up.

But not Mu Feng, his goal is to try to make every chef's cooking skills really improve quickly.

Not to mention, because Mu Feng's teaching method is similar to that of hand-in-hand, each of these people who learn to cook counts as one, and the cooking skills can almost be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

In particular, the lower the level of chefs, the more obvious their progress.

Because these junior chefs originally lacked experience and did not understand many knowledge points needed to cook, so they could not cook attractive dishes.

Now that Mu Feng is picking up the window paper for them, the progress is naturally very fast.

After everyone rubbed the meatballs, Mu Feng started to move on to the next step.

He heats the oil in a pan, heats up to [-]% heat, puts in the meatballs, turns to medium heat, deep-fries the meatballs until golden, then takes them out and decants them dry.

Then, leave the bottom oil in the pot, heat it up, add half of the onion and ginger and sauté until fragrant, then add the red and yellow peppers and stir fry.

Then, add the meatballs and lychees and stir well; then pour the adjusted sauce into the pot and stir fry evenly.

Finally, put the remaining scallion and ginger into it, boil it, turn off the heat and put it on a plate.

Every time Mu Feng takes a step, he will say it out loud, trying to let every chef can hear it.

After the [Lychee Chicken Ball] he made was ready, he began to observe and guide other chefs to make this dish.

For a while, he helped the chef adjust the fire, and for the other chef to check the quality of the dishes, he was very busy.

At this time, a waiter came in and said that the old man just said that he wanted to order another [Shacha Chicken Ding].

Mu Feng Yile, is this an addiction?

He responded, and immediately made another one for the guest.

Soon, a [Shacha Chicken Ding] will be ready.

When the waiter came to pick up the dishes, Mu Feng also asked the waiter to bring over the plate of [Lychee Chicken Balls] that he just made.

"Tell him, I invited him to eat this. Lychee has the effect of nourishing the brain and strengthening the body, appetizing and nourishing the spleen." Mu Feng said.

The waiter nodded and went out with two dishes.

When [Sand Tea Chicken Ding] and [Lychee Chicken Ball] were brought to the table together, the old man was taken aback, pointed to the chicken ball and said, "I didn't order this?"

After a pause, he asked again, "Is it also made by the chief chef?"

"That's right, this chicken ball was given to you by our chef. Master Mu said that this lychee has the effect of invigorating the brain and strengthening the spleen." The waiter said with a smile.

After hearing this, the old man nodded again and again.

Then, I immediately put a chicken ball into my mouth, chewed it, and the crispy outside and tender inside revealed a spicy taste, accompanied by bursts of lychee fragrance, which really made my index finger move .
