Chapter 752 Stealing Fist
"Damn! These French people are really tormenting people! We are cooks. Is it our job to clean the kitchen? That's the job of the cleaners. Besides, the kitchen is worse than the restaurant outside. Clean, is this normal? These foreign devils are fucking sick! Cleanliness! It made me tired all day, and I had to clean the chimney at the end. Do they order people like this? Xiaocha, don’t you think so?”

"That's right. In fact, I'm not afraid of being tired. Whoever asked us to do it is hard work. The key is that they don't treat us men as human beings! Just those few foreign devils, when serving food in the kitchen, It's not yelling anymore, it's yelling, hysterical yelling! I feel like they're going to throw a frying pan on my face in the next second. Damn, how many years have passed since the Opium War ended, why should we suffer? The pickiness of foreigners? Brother Chuner, that is, I don’t understand, I don’t know if they have swear words, otherwise I can’t do it well, I really have to slap them!”

"Oh, Xiaocha, why do you guys always want to fight? Can this solve the problem? If I know French, I'll go and talk to those foreign chefs. First, I have to change the staff meal. Don't let They make some sandwiches all day long so they can't fool us. Don't you think so? If even our chef can't eat it well, how can we let the guests eat it? Hey, it's here, don't even talk about comparing it with our altar palace, it's better What about those ordinary small state-run restaurants. Let me tell you, I’m really not hypocritical, I don’t have to eat big fish and meat. I just want to eat a warm meal, is it too much? I’d rather eat cabbage with steamed buns, stir-fry bean sprouts, and get some Water lumps, or big pickled radish rolled into a big pancake, and I don’t want to eat the hard baguette, white toast. Oh, those three foreigners asked me to spread butter and put it on Serve cheese, pick up vegetable leaves, purple cabbage, pickles, tomatoes and cold meat. Once I eat it, my stomach, oh, that's called a fuss..."

"That's right, Sister Yan'er. Hey, before I came here, I only heard that French cuisine is famous, but I really didn't know that Western food is so bad. Hey, let's just say that French baguette, outside Baked so dry, the inside is actually hollow, this is not fooling people. Where can we have our old noodle steamed buns and Su Yeer steamed buns? What kind of pizza is it? The macaroni is so hard, it’s not as good as our stewed noodles in the capital, and the salad is not as good as our vermicelli mixed with leeks and bean sprouts! The onion soup is like washing pot water, and the mushroom soup is like batter. God knows what they think. Dried mushrooms are ground into powder and then boiled out. How can this be soup? Even the famous French foie gras is sticky and has no chew. Where can we find our sauced pork liver and sauced chicken liver? It's delicious. Not to mention the cheese, it smells like stinky feet. Sister Yan'er, you are too honest, you can eat it if you want it? No wonder you feel so uncomfortable. Next time you eat, you Just don't touch that thing..."

"Haha, Dai Hong, what you said is so true. I couldn't eat that cheese, so I vomited it secretly. Hehe, it's not that we are not humble. In my opinion, French cuisine is probably just a name for nothing. Ah. Among other things, look at those Frenchmen. When they cook, they don’t even have a clue in their minds. You still have to try it. This is the kitchen of our altar palace. Their craftsmanship is What a young boy, can you let them take the wok? Don’t talk about the first stove, the second stove, they don’t even have the money to make soup. Well, it’s really oily, cooking shrimp, and they will try two more bites on the stove , Do you have that time? Just such a delay, the fire will be too old? How can you eat the food in the pot? Just them, do you still dislike the slowness of others? Cut! Their own size can delay the time the most. "

"That's right, Brother Chun'er, this foreign devil is really good at cooking, and he does things like taking off his pants and farting. Good guy, so many knives, big and small, flat and long, And the serrated ones, is that necessary? I don’t know, I thought they were surgeons. There are so many pots, fry this one, you have to use this pot, and you have to use that one for this. Baimaoer has to turn over with you. I really don’t understand why they have to make things so complicated in the kitchen? It’s better to have Chinese food, an iron pot, a kitchen knife, and travel around the world. No wonder they I can't even count the plates, I have to spread them out one by one to count, and if the plates are stacked together, I will be blinded, IQ is worrying..."

To be honest, whether it was the three Frenchmen or the western food chef they trained, they were partly right.

Jiang Dachun, Xiaocha, Yang Feng, Xu Chunyan, and Dai Hong, the five-member group of three men and two women in the altar palace, because of the "torture" and incompatibility they received, they have big opinions in private.

It took only three to five days to work in Maxim's back kitchen, less than a week.

Catch up with the cleaning on the first Friday, when the big guys go back to the dormitory to sleep together after get off work.

They couldn't help venting all their pent-up complaints and complaints to each other.

But then again, although the few of them tried their best to spoil the western food to vent their dissatisfaction, they tried to squeeze the French for fun.

But they are not novices who have just entered the kitchen industry, and they still have a bit of vision.

What's more, who can stand out in the kitchen of the altar palace and do a good job, who isn't a master with some real skills under his hands?
Since he is a chef with real skills, who hasn't suffered or suffered?

In fact, not long after the pure negative emotions were vented, Hua Touer's wind direction began to change.

This is what those foreigners and those western chefs did not guess.

And the person who first led this trend was the good buddies Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui met in the cheap shop downstairs when they were working in Chongwenmen Hotel.

The leader of the altar furnace hanging furnace team - Yang Feng.

"Hey, it's almost done, and it's over if we go on. We hurt people so much behind their backs, and they can't talk back. It's not very interesting. Xiaocha, don't look at me like that, I didn't mean to talk to big guys Play the contrarian."

"Yes, working here is very hard. There are two shifts every day. The working hours range from ten hours to thirteen or four hours, with only one and a half hours of rest in between. It's not good to eat. For our As far as the stomach is concerned, I am afraid that adapting to Western food is more difficult than cooking Western food."

"And in this kitchen, if there is nothing to do for more than three seconds, you will be urged and scolded. Anyone can't find something for more than 30 seconds. Just because of this, I lost two knives. There is no time at all. Go find it. If I say I like it here, then I'm a puppy trying to pretend to be big to everyone."

"But the problem is, we can't forget why we came here! Didn't we just learn our skills? Those foreigners love to scold people. But when we were apprentices, who didn't get scolded? You forgot our altar palace Those masters who invited us said what about us, saying that we are all a happy generation, and we don’t need to be beaten when we learn art. I don’t hide it from you, even a good-tempered person like Master Ai scolded me, and even punished me for brushing Duck stove."

"Good guy, that's a stove that has been baked all morning. It's still hot. I didn't dare to hesitate. I sprayed cold water all over my body and got in with a sack. The wall of the furnace was at least 100 degrees at that time. It turned into water vapor, wrapped in soot, sprayed so that my whole body was black, and after brushing, I almost didn't have a piece of bacon. Compared with it, brushing the oil fume fan is nothing."

"Hey, why don't we put it another way. I don't believe it. If Master Zhang, who taught us how to cook palace dishes, scolded you like this in the kitchen and asked you to clean up like this. How dare you talk back? You are a cook, Isn't that the way it is, whoever is hardworking is the master. If you don't get scolded or endure hardships, how can you learn the real skills?"

"And the foreigner is really capable. We can't open our eyes and talk nonsense, right? Among other things, the kitchen is so well managed. It is cleaner, more hygienic, with fresh ingredients and higher efficiency than our kitchen. I would also like to let us The hanging furnace set is so clean, and the duck embryos are preserved like others. Seriously, I will try it when I go back. Don’t forget, our altar palace is the top restaurant in the capital, the most high-end restaurant in the capital, and the consumption level It’s not much lower than Maxim’s. So what’s good for you, what’s for you to learn, this kind of hygiene can’t let others compare to the past, and force us to take the lead.”

"As for whether this French food is good or bad? It's up to two people to say. After all, we have different appetites from foreigners. It's hard to make this attributive. But there is one thing I'm sure of, the cooking method of Western food. , there are indeed merits, which should not be underestimated. I specialize in hanging stoves, and I know the things inside it best."

"This watercress, there is almost nothing that cannot be grilled, and none of the grilled things is bad. It is especially hard to imagine that all kinds of water vegetables are delicious when grilled. This is Unbeatable place for Chinese food.”

"Although we have a lot of baked food in Chinese food, there are pastries in the pastry shop, pancakes, fire, screwdrivers and so on. However, the hanging oven barbecue in the kitchen has limited categories, almost all of which are meat. Roast chicken, Roast duck, roast pigeon, roast lamb, roast deer, roast piglet, that's all."

"In addition, the method of adding ingredients and marinating in advance, as well as the details of serving dishes, are not as good as other people's. There are many types of ingredients added in advance in Western barbecue, and the sauces that go with the food are far richer than ours. And that The electric oven is definitely a good thing. It is better to bake the whole piece of meat than our oven. It is also worth learning to use the hot plate to load the roast and steak.”

"So I don't care what you all think, I've decided to take this place as Shajiabang. Isn't it just not to retaliate, isn't it just to be a little tired? It's not that we haven't passed it, it's no big deal I plan to do whatever it takes, even if I pretend to be a grandson here, swallow my breath and work as a handyman, I have to learn the barbecue methods of these foreigners."

"Using the words of our master chefs, being uncomfortable is not an adult. If you want to be famous in front of others, you have to learn to suffer behind your back. The three foreigners must not let me learn it. As long as I learn it, it will be different. Think about it, if they know it, we will, and if we know it, they won’t. Then, I will be sure to let the barbecue of the altar palace overwhelm them.”

"What's more, if you have learned this skill, the one who can benefit the most from it is our own. No matter where we go in the future, if we want to earn money and be respected by others, we have to Rely on the real ability of your hands to speak. This is called a wolf traveling thousands of miles to eat meat."

"To be honest, it's a rare opportunity! Everyone, don't feel bad about it. But if the altar palace is not in charge of the guards, or it is inextricably related to the Pilkardon Company and the Service Bureau. How can we There may be a chance to come here to find out. For us, French cuisine will always be a mystery that we can’t understand.”

Yang Feng's long talk silenced several people.

Now all five of them walked on the road in silence.

Because no one spoke anymore, the cold wind whistling in my ears became more and more obvious.

This rhythm, this rhythm, is somewhat depressing and embarrassing for everyone.

But after a while, after a moment of contemplation, Xu Chunyan, the oldest among them, took the initiative to agree with Yang Feng's words just now.

"Yang Zi, I didn't expect that you really have ideas and ambitions. It seems that we usually underestimate you. But don't look down on people. Among the five of us, you are the only one who knows. Thank you, Manager Ning. , I know that I have to strive for the altar palace. It’s not that you have vision and you can endure hardships. As the eldest sister of you guys, I don’t want you, a little brother, to compare with the past. Then I will lose face, tell the truth Let me tell you, those three foreigners’ ability to make desserts also caught my fancy. Or else, let’s compare and see if you learn all the French barbecue dishes first, or I first master all the French desserts. Yes. How about a treat for whoever loses? Make a four-four banquet with your own hands. When the time comes, I will invite everyone present here to have a big meal."

What does it mean that a woman does not give way to a man!
This Beijing girl's unique boldness immediately made everyone cheer.

Yang Feng also had to express his admiration.

"Sister Yan'er, if you say that, I'll take advantage of you. There seem to be many types of Western desserts. Baking, custard, cold food, and knife skills all seem to be used. This kind of competition is unfair to you. How about this? Let’s learn three dishes before anyone else, of course the most famous dish, which must be recognized as a world-famous authentic French meal. It’s a bet, I’ll do as you say if I lose. But you If you want to lose, just buy me two big nines."

The disparity in the stakes is too great.

As a result, when he said this, not only did he show great enthusiasm, but even Dai Hong's interest was aroused.

"Then I want to participate too. Brother Yang, let's compete, but the stakes are lower. If you lose, I'll treat you to Maxim's ice cream once, and if I lose, I'll give you a cigarette. Do you think it's okay?" "

This time Yang Zi hasn't spoken yet, so Xiao Cha will quit.

"Dai Hong, you are just trying to take advantage of yourself. Don't bully people like this. Maxim's ice cream is 20 yuan a customer. How much is a cigarette? Besides, you are a cold-blooded person. What you learn is so important." How simple. If it’s just the two of us, the stakes can remain the same, but the items must be fair. I cook hot dishes, and you cook cold dishes. Simply, cold dishes, hot dishes, and soup dishes, let’s make one each. Compare three things. Then let everyone judge and see who has a higher level."

In this way, there is another pair of bettors.

Now not only are everyone gearing up, but Jiang Dachun is even more bored now that he has the strength to compete.

"Yang Zi, you are amazing. I really didn't see it. You are so scheming. You are simply a contemporary 'Tai Chi Yang', Yang Luchan. Don't say it, your energy is really worthy of everyone's admiration for you. Study. That’s right, no matter what happens, the rest of us can’t go back to Altar Palace for nothing, can we? Not to mention embarrassment, but I’m really sorry for Manager Ning.”

"What? What Tai Chi Yang? What are you talking about?" Yang Feng was at a loss, completely unaware of what Jiang Dachun meant.

Xiao Cha immediately went overboard again and explained for his elder brother.

"Hey, Brother Yang, how come you don't know? You haven't read the little man's book "Stealing the Fist", have you? Just last month, our entire Tangong restaurant has been spread. The kitchen in the restaurant is reading it, Later, I wished I had a set of staff.”

"Huh? Little book? Comics? Martial arts? Does that have something to do with me?"

"Oh, Brother Yang, you don't know. The Yang Luchan in the book, determined to practice martial arts, did not hesitate to pretend to be a dumb beggar, and deliberately froze in front of the gate of the Taiji Chen family. In the end, he was taken in as a servant by the Chen family after painstaking efforts. I secretly learned other people's Taijiquan and became a great master. That Taiji Yang is just like you who tried hard to make ends meet. Well, I'll show you my set of little man's books later, and you'll know after reading it. "

Jiang Dachun was happy again, and gave a concluding speech.

"Hey, that's right, from here on, we are Maxim's stealing punch five."
