Chapter 132 Teach Me to Make Wizard Soup
Chudu in early June is already scorching heat. The central air conditioner in the office can lower the temperature, but it cannot erase the irritability brought by summer.
Gu Yanan changed his sitting position to make himself feel more comfortable. While drinking coffee slowly, he listened to the female assistant's report.
"In five days, 'Master Xiao Zhou' has provided diners with 31 new pastries.
According to the trapezoidal data, the number of lucky customers in the breakfast department is increasing every day. It has increased from three to seven per day, and it is estimated that it will continue to increase in the future.
'Master Xiao Zhou' has shown the strength that a genius Bai An should have in these days.The pastry categories designated by lucky customers cover eight major cuisines and some small local cuisines, and there are even some famous local snacks that have not been included in the cuisines.After being tasted by several veterans of Qinxing and Lu Zhentou, they all think that he has achieved the original taste, even surpassing those time-honored brands."
When the female assistant reported these data, her eyes seemed to be shining; Zhou Dong is now the "public male god" of Jiuzhou Dingshi, and the more achievements the male god has achieved, the happier she will naturally be.
"Well, the statistics are pretty good, you can go out now."
After the female assistant gently closed the office door, Gu Yanan glanced at the delicate man sitting on the sofa against the wall with some reproach, and said half coquettishly and half complaining: "Brother, did you hear that too? He is such a talented chef, and is so young, a talent that even the old Xingzun valued very much, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it, I want to keep him!"
The man sitting on the sofa was wearing a handmade casual suit without a tie. He had a fair complexion and a loose expression. The well-trimmed "literary beard" on his chin made him look more like a writer or director than a businessman.
He took a sip of the black tea in his cup, and looked at his beloved sister with a smile: "Oh? Is my sister going to keep that handsome guy? It can be considered, but, are you serious about him?"
Gu Yanan gave him a hard look: "Brother! I'm not joking!"
"I'm not joking either. Xiao Nan, I know all about your romantic affairs when you were studying in the UK. Are you going to change your taste this time?"
"Gu Yacheng! You are too much!"
Gu Yanan was about to go crazy, what kind of romantic affair, back then, it was because of his cheerful temperament and enthusiasm towards others, and because of his beautiful family background, some 'flies' would always jump on him, and they couldn't be driven away.
It's obviously the wishful thinking of those guys, but I haven't even been touched by anyone with my little hands!
How did it become a romantic affair when it got into this guy's mouth?Is this my own brother? In the eyes of outsiders, the serious and prudent chairman of Shang Zhou Group turned into a rascal in front of me?
"Am I being too much?"
Gu Yacheng spread his hands: "In order to deal with those 'flies' around you, I don't know how much thought I spent; you called and said that you would treat your little handsome guy well, so I flew over from Guangdong, even I can't even drink my saliva."
"Let me correct you again, it's not my little handsome guy, but the future pillar of Kyushu Dingshi! He is more important than the town shop Badaing! Didn't you secretly taste his breakfast yesterday, isn't it shocking enough?"
"It's shocking, especially the green lotus root jade porridge. But no matter how good his buns are, and how amazing his secret egg pancakes are, it's just a young white case.
Xiao Nan, you have to be clear, Shangzhou Group is not the world, and I, the chairman of the board, is just a name, and the real power is in the hands of the old man.
Those old guys on the board of directors have to follow the rules in everything, what can you tell me to do? "
Gu Yacheng sighed and said: "Besides, they are right. Although Zhou Dong performed well, what does it mean for a few breakfasts and a fried double crisp? Except for the double crispy fried oil, he was on the stove. Have you ever cooked other dishes?
He's just an intern who hasn't even obtained the fifth-level chef qualification. First, he has no qualifications, and second, he has no mentoring. Why do those old guys agree to your proposal? "
"elder brother"
"It's useless for you to call me brother, the bigger the company is, the more rules must be followed.
According to the rules set by the group for Kyushu Dingsheng, if a chef wants to get a stake in the group and participate in dividends, he must be a special first-class senior technician, and he must have made a major contribution to Kyushu Dingshi.
According to this condition, not to mention him, Bading, the town store of Kyushu Dingshi, is not qualified.
Xiao Nan, your proposal is really too abrupt. If I didn’t know you well enough, I’m afraid, like those old guys on the board of directors, they would think you were stunned by handsome guys! "
"Brother, you are not an old guy now, are you? Don't you know that when a company is bound by more and more rules, it is the beginning of its decline?"
"Of course I know, and all entrepreneurs in the world understand this truth. But when a company grows bigger, can it work without rules? If you have rules but don't follow them, the company will only decline faster. Therefore, I am looking for There is no reason to refute those old guys."
Gu Yacheng glanced at his sister helplessly, shook his head and said, "Your appetite is too great, [-]% of Shangzhou Group's dry stock? Although it only has the right to profit, considering the size of Shangzhou Group, it can be sold every year. The dividend is an astronomical figure!
So the board's rejection of your proposal is not entirely because of the rules, but also out of consideration for the internal balance of the company!
You don't even think about it, just give the dry stock to the intern of the group's hotel, well, even if you can justify his name and get rid of his intern status, he is just a newcomer.
The group treats a newcomer so favorably, what do the old courtiers who have worked for the group for many years think?This will cause a chain reaction!Xiao Nan, you are now the president of Kyushu Dingshi, you are no longer the little girl who wanted a doll and got all kinds of Barbies."
Gu Yanan was speechless for a moment, what his brother said actually made sense; this was completely determined by the different heights of the two people, the elder brother was in charge of the overall situation of the group, and what he saw was Kyushu Dingshi.
But no matter what, he was still unwilling. The woman's sixth sense told him that if the group didn't tie Zhou Dong firmly to the chariot today, they would definitely regret it in the future!
It's just a hunch without any evidence, but she still has to make a final effort.
"A few days ago, a gentleman surnamed Zhu asked Zhou Dong to make the original 'Bazhen Noodles', and Zhou Dong agreed."
"What! Are you talking about Li Liweng's Bazhen noodles?"
Gu Yacheng was obviously taken aback, and put down his raised legs: "This is an 'unsolved case' that Huaxia Qinxing has not solved for many years, how dare he answer?"
Shangzhou Group started as a catering company, and its main business now is the catering industry.Of course, Gu Yacheng is also a gourmet because of his family background. How could he not know that 'Bazhen Noodles' is a deep pit for Li Yu to test his descendants?
"The young man is really reckless, he will definitely fail."
Gu Yacheng shook his head, obviously not very optimistic about Zhou Dong.
"What if he succeeds?" Gu Yanan asked.
"If he can really make this lost Eight Treasure Noodles, I will do my best to help you. But if you want those old guys on the board to agree to your proposal, I'm afraid he has to show some performance in the red case."
Gu Yanan shook his head: "Brother, when did your vision become so short-sighted? Can't you really see that Zhou Dong's significance to our Kyushu Dingshi is not only in the back kitchen?
He is now very popular and has become a star chef in the focus report of the provincial gourmet publication "Great Country Taste"; Mr. Dong from the Suzhou Culinary Association also intends to cultivate him, and wants him to become a star figure in Jiangsu Province and a banner among the younger generation ; and his image is very good, if it is not because of his dedication to cooking, it is not impossible to directly debut in the entertainment industry!
A young, capable, and handsome chef, brother, what do you not think of? "
Gu Yacheng smiled: "There is never a shortage of handsome guys in this world, and how difficult is it to use star power to promote Kyushu Dingshi?
This time I flew to Jiangsu Province, one is to meet you, and the other is to participate in a gourmet show. You should have heard of Xiangguo TV's "ideal life", right?
This program has Mr. He and Mr. Huang as partners, and the ratings are the first in its class. In addition, this episode even invited me and Mr. Yu from the "De Yu Society" in Kyoto. If I promote Kyushu Dingshi in the program, you Guess what happened? "
Gu Yanan said in amazement: "Is it Mr. Yu who likes to smoke, drink and burn his head? He is humorous and has a kind personality. I really like him!"
"Really? So with the strength of our Shangzhou Group, it's too easy to use celebrities to publicize, so why do we need to cultivate our own celebrities?
But your idea is also feasible, let’s see if Zhou Dong can make the lost Bazhen noodles. "
"Don't worry, he will succeed!" Gu Yanan firmly believed in this.
"Ha ha."
***
Gu Yanan was still too optimistic.
Li Yu's Bazhen noodle has dug a deep hole, so how can it be cracked if it is cracked?These days, Zhou Dong tries to make 'fresh juice' every night in the back kitchen of Fortune, but all of them fail without exception.
The first thing Zhou Dong thought of was fish and sheep soup.
The word 'fresh' can be separated into two characters of fish and sheep. It seems that this is the answer?But after he tried it countless times in the good luck kitchen, he realized that it didn't work at all!
Chinese characters do not represent recipes. China has mutton soup, fish soup, beef and mutton soup. When did you see someone selling fish and mutton soup?To create characters, you can only take the freshness of fish and sheep as "fresh". When making soup, you must consider the taste.
Fishy and mutton, these two tastes are almost irreconcilable.There is a dish of 'Yangfang Tibetan sheep' in the recipe, but there is a world of difference between cooking and soup, and it is impossible to replicate.
Zhou Dong tried all kinds of red meat, white meat, even shellfish in seafood and snails in the river, but he still couldn't find the answer.
It was not enough to start with things, so Zhou Dong started with Li Yu.
Li Liweng's admiration for vegetarian food has almost reached the level of obsession, and he once said that bamboo shoots are the king of all vegetables. Zhou Dong had an idea and thought of a famous dish in Shanghai, 'Jin Du bamboo shoots'.
The main ingredient of this dish is not bacon, but bamboo shoots!The bamboo shoots are made into dishes with the fragrance of the meat, and people in Shanghai will eat up all the bamboo shoots and leave only the meat. So if you cook soup with bamboo shoots and bacon, can you get the most delicious juice in the vegetarian soup?
Zhou Dong has tried hundreds of times for this, but no matter how he changes the ratio of ingredients, the combination of spices, and the method of controlling the heat, the final soup is delicious, but it will inevitably be covered by the fresh shrimp in the noodles. pressure!
I am afraid that crabs are the only ones that can compete with fresh shrimps, but if crabs are used to make soup, then this noodle will completely become seafood noodle, and it can be declared a failure directly.
With a long sigh, Zhou Dong withdrew from the system, counting the number of times he failed, it was as high as [-] times!
"I was still very dissatisfied with Li Liweng at first, thinking that I could easily solve the riddles left by him, it seems that I underestimated the ancients too much.
Grandpa He, if you were asked to choose the 'fresh juice' that lacks flavor, what would you choose? "
Today happened to be Saturday, and Zhou Dong came to the tea shed to make a big pot of Lancheng beef noodles for dinner for the patients. Mr. He still criticized and criticized while eating, and he ate very heartily.
Suddenly I remembered Mr. He's words that "the best taste in the world is plum salt". Could it be that this old patient is still an expert in cooking and food?Zhou Dong just asked casually.
"Hehe, is it the Bazhen noodles? To tell you the truth, my old man knew how to eat when he was young! I really studied this noodles, this is a pitfall."
"Ah, then, Grandpa He, do you have any research results?"
Zhou Dong's eyes lit up, could it be that there is no place to find after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it?
He Biwen glanced at him with a smile: "Of course, what your grandpa He and I have studied, if there is no result, it will be okay?"
"Grandpa He, please tell me quickly, I'm so worried, if I can't make this kind of noodles the day after tomorrow, I will be ashamed!"
"Don't worry, grandpa told you, the result is 'putting down the most beautiful'."
"What do you mean?"
"That's right. Grandpa thought, why would a smart person like me compete with a lunatic like Li Yu? Instead of being entangled, it's better to let go, so the result is 'letting go is the most beautiful'!"
Zhou Dong looked at the old man deeply: "Grandpa He, you have to continue to treat your illness."
"Who said no?"
When he returned home from the tea shed, the sky was already full of stars. Zhou Dong had already eaten in the hospital cafeteria, so he took a shower and stood by the window to watch the stars.
This has been his habit for many years. When he was seriously ill, he completely cut off contact with his classmates and friends. Apart from his parents, Xing Xing was his best friend.
Thinking about it carefully, besides Fatty, he doesn't seem to have many friends now. This feeling is very bad, and the deeper the night, the more desolate he feels.
At this moment, there was a ding on WeChat, Zhou Dong turned on the phone, and saw a jumping rabbit head, the ID name was 'Rabbit Girl'
is her?Message me so soon?
Zhou Dong clicked on WeChat, and saw that the girl sent him a long message, "Chef Zhou, Jianghu emergency, Jianghu emergency, I just received a notice from the program team, asking me to participate in the recording of the program tomorrow."
It is said that everyone who goes to the show has to cook a special dish, I want to make 'witch soup', please tell me how to make it, thank you. "
Zhou Dong shook his head and smiled wryly, this girl is honest, there is no emoticon for such a long paragraph, and if you just open your mouth to say the name of the dish, aren't you afraid that I won't know it?
Back to 'what witch soup? '
'It's the witch soup that appeared in the movie made by the most handsome guy in Asia, Kim XX?There is no limit to the ingredients, and then put them together to cook. I just can't figure out what ingredients to use. Can you give me a hint? "
Zhou Dong couldn't help laughing, what kind of 'witch soup' is it, there are no restrictions on the ingredients, and they are cooked together?Isn't that just a mess!
It's easy, isn't it?Even if you haven't tasted the stew made by the master, at least you are a graduate of Qingxiang, so you can't help him.
'This is actually simple. Since there are no restrictions on the ingredients, you can put whatever you want.
But any gourmet food pays attention to the balance of taste, this balance. I’m afraid it’s difficult to understand based on your current foundation, so let’s use the simplest method, you can ensure that the pot is stewed randomly, as long as the ingredients used in witch soup have the same taste up. "
Zhou Dong thought about it, and the answer he gave would not cause any trouble, so he sent it out.
"Okay, thank you buddy!"
Cheng Qian on WeChat excitedly snapped her fingers.Keep the taste consistent?It's so easy too!
A red pepper appeared in the girl's head.
