Siheyuan: Starting from the promotion of an engineer

Chapter 414

Fortunately, the situation has changed now, and everything is more relaxed.

The so-called old royal chefs dared to show their faces again, and even dared to pick other people's signs by comparing their cooking skills.

If in the past few years, anyone who wanted to say that his surname was Wang was the imperial chef, he would be able to fight people desperately.

As the old saying goes, there is no profit without getting up early.

Wang Yuchu, who had already buried half of his body in the soil, came to the competition for the shares of Bacuilou, regardless of face and reputation in his later years.

It can be said to be greedy.

In this regard, Lin Zhen can only give him a ruined package.

After a while, Ma Hua and He Daqing came to the private room.

Lin Zhen was chatting with Wang Yuchu.

Lou Xiaoe, Liu Yuhua, and Yu Li were also in the room.

Ma Hua doesn't know any imperial chefs, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, as long as the master is by his side, not to mention imperial chefs, even god chefs, he is not afraid.

He Daqing recognized Wang Yuchu.

"Ah! This, this is the last royal chef in the Qing Dynasty?"

Wang Yuchu's mouth turned down instantly, a sense of superiority welling up spontaneously.

"That's right, it's the old man. You are the one who is proficient in Tan's cuisine, right? I guessed right, you are a person with four or fifty years of experience."

He Daqing chuckled, "I'm quite curious. I ran away as a cook of government dishes. How did you, a big royal chef, live so well? You must have kept a low profile in the past few years. This is because the situation has changed. Are you planning to make a comeback? Why don't you let your son come?"

In the past few years, Wang Yuchu has been like a man with his tail between his legs, and he has no family relationship with his children and grandchildren.

When He Daqing said this, his face blushed, and he said coldly: "The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, what are you talking about? Now that we are all here, let's discuss how to compare."

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk about winning or losing first. If you win, you will take away the signboard of Bacui Building with gongs and drums. If you lose, three of you will have to work in my back kitchen for three months. I will give you a symbolic salary, one yuan per person per month, and you have to bow and apologize to my apprentice for your arrogance."

Guan Dongqing immediately said: "Eh? No, why did you lose the signboard of Bacui Building if you lose, and we have to work for three months if we lose? You still have to bow and apologize?"

Lin Zhen said: "If you are afraid of losing, you can just bow and apologize now and you can leave. It is you who came to the door to compare, and you must pay more."

Guan Canghai sneered and said, "We won't lose, but you, hurry up and think about how to change your name in the future!"

Guan Canghai didn't know the bottom line at first, but when he saw the two chefs in the back kitchen, he was instantly full of confidence.

One was about the same age as myself, and couldn't lift her eyelids.

He knew several orthodox heirs of the Tan family cuisine, but this one was not familiar with him, so he should be an outside disciple of a certain chef, so there was nothing to worry about.

The other was less of a concern.

Looking at his age, he is only in his 30s, and his face is even a little childish. It is quite vigorous, but it does not necessarily mean that he has deep attainments.

Even if he has learned to cook since he was born, he has only learned cooking for more than 30 years. How does he compare with himself?
And I heard from Factory Manager Li that this person is a cook who started to learn after entering the rolling mill. He has only been cooking for 17 years. What kind of pill can he make!

Guan Canghai asked proudly: "After talking about the outcome, let's talk about how to compare? The three of us can fight, how about you?"

Lin Zhen said lightly: "My apprentice Ma Hua alone is enough. Uncle He will help him. I will not participate."

Wang Yuchu said coldly: "Hmph, what a big tone, I'll see how much he weighs later!"

"Hey~ It's easy to say, but what about this evaluation standard? We can't be judges, can we?"

Wang Yuchu said: "I recommend a person. His father is a serious prince. If he was also a prince in the past, this young man has tasted all kinds of food before solving the recipe. You don't have to worry about him being partial." , I don’t tell him who cooked the dishes that were served, he just commented on them in the private room.”

Lin Zhen nodded, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really who I am looking for. You asked me to find a prince who changed his name and surname in the old society. It's really hard for me to find him. I'll do it up to you, but one is not enough. At least I have to find someone." Three."

"Then do you have a choice for the remaining two?"

Lin Zhen thought for a while and said: "It really is. There is a retired leader who is also a person who knows food. I will call him later. He has nothing to do after retirement. He will definitely watch the fun."

Wang Yuchu's heart moved, and he was a little worried: "What leader? If you take the opportunity to put pressure on us, it will not work, it means that you are afraid, and it is cheating."

Ma Hua said angrily: "Why are you so narrow-minded? The reviewer we invited was alone in the private room, and we didn't tell him who did it. We accepted all the princes you mentioned, but you dare not accept when we mention retired leaders. ?”

Liu Yuhua said disdainfully: "You are afraid that the retired leader will put pressure on you, and we still think the remnants of feudalism are disgusting!"

"Ridiculous! How can a woman get involved in a big event?" Wang Yuchu's face was livid with anger.

"To shut up!"

Lin Zhen said coldly: "This is the manager of Bacui Building. If you dare not compare yourself, just bow and apologize. Don't make excuses. Isn't the master you served before also a woman? Why don't you dare to say such things in front of Cixi? ?”

"you!"

Wang Yuchu choked on Lin Zhen's words and couldn't refute.

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, Guan Canghai hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, let's calm down, since it is a good discussion, there is no need to quarrel, how about it, every time you serve the judges, you will send someone, and we will send someone , Serve at the same time and listen to the results, how about it? "

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Of course, you don't need to mention it. It's like this. There is a third judge. Do you have any candidates? If not, I will choose another one."

Guan Canghai immediately said: "I think Director Li can be the third candidate."

"Hahaha, whatever, he's planning to come anyway, so the candidates for the judges have been decided in this way, let's talk about how to compare."

Wang Yuchu said: "Since you call it Bacuilou, let's compare eight dishes, one for each cuisine. Since some dishes take a long time to prepare, how about we formally compare them in three days?"

"not so good!"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"What's the point? I'm going to play with you? Of course not. The first is a waste of time. My restaurant has to be open for business. It's not just for playing with you. The second is a waste of ingredients, cooking eight big dishes and sixteen dishes at the same time." Can the three of them finish eating? Do you pay the bill?"

"Ah? This, that, how do you compare?"

Lin Zhen said lightly: "Competing is like fighting. You have to adapt to the situation and not stick to the rules. Just today, what is the use of the back kitchen? Three dishes, each side cooks once, a total of six dishes, do you dare to accept it?" ?”

"Hmph! Why don't you dare? In the hands of the imperial chef, any ingredient can bring out its unique charm!"

"Okay, let's shake each other!"

"Shaking people?"

"Just call someone, call the judges you recommended! It's only three o'clock now, and it will start before six o'clock, no problem?"

"no problem!"

Wang Yuchu and Guan's father and son immediately went to find someone.

Lin Zhen called the leader's home.

Now the daily life of the big leader is to read the newspapers and listen to the reports of his subordinates, so he really has nothing to do.

As soon as he heard that there was a royal chef going to the Bacui Building to kick the hall, Lin Zhen asked him to be a judge, and immediately agreed.

"Xiao Lin, I suggest that even if you win him this time, you should find a chance to compete with other people next year. Holding this kind of competition is a good way of publicity for Bacuilou. I am very happy to be a judge, haha Ha ha……"

"Hey, leader, we want to go together, I'll pick you up right away."

"No, no, I'll ask Xiao Li to drive me. By the way, don't tell them my identity."

"Don't worry, you are the mysterious judge."

After calling the big leader, Lin Zhen made another call to Director Zhao in the district.

In the past few years, Director Zhao has been promoted from the street office to the district, and now he mainly manages cultural promotion.

When Lin Zhen called him, he naturally wanted to invite a reporter to come and report.

It has just been opened now, and the higher authorities are very supportive of those who respond to the call to move forward, and some hardworking and bold people are tracked and reported to play a role in publicity.

Thinking of Lin Zhen's situation, Director Zhao would naturally not refuse after hearing this, and immediately sent reporter Xiao Wu over.

Xiao Wu used to be a statistician in the street office, the one who took over from Lou Xiao'e, and Lin Zhen was also an acquaintance.

Hearing that Lin Zhen had provided a good material, he immediately took his assistant with him and rushed to Bacui Building with the equipment.

As soon as he saw Xiao Wu, Lin Zhen whispered, "You don't need to take photos of the three judges later, but only photos of them cooking and bowing and apologizing."

"Lin Gong, can you reveal the identities of the three judges?"

"You can just mention the mysterious judges in the report. One is the former deputy factory director Li of the rolling mill, the other is the prince of the old society, and the other is the retired leader who can't stay idle and loves to join in the fun. Do you think it's okay to mention it?"

"Yeah, that's it, hehe, let's call them mysterious judges. By the way, are they sitting together to taste?"

"Of course not. Everyone has a private room. If they all sit together, when my old retired friend shows up, the other two will be paralyzed with fright."

"Hahaha, the leader is really interesting, this is really to join in the fun."

"Old and young, the older he is, the more he looks like a naughty boy. He is older than Jia Zhang in the courtyard, because he has a good attitude and is in good health."

While talking, the chief's special car arrived, and he hurried into the private room to wait.

"Xiao Lin, when will it start? I'm really hungry, hahaha..."

"It'll be right away, just look at it, I'll go first."

Lin Zhen brought Xiao Wu to the back kitchen, and the two sides were already preparing.

When Wang Yuchu saw the reporter coming, he also brought his assistant with him, took a camera, paper and pen, and wanted to record the manuscript on the spot.

Wang Yuchu was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat, but after thinking about it, it has been changed now, and the old account will not be brought up again, so he is no longer afraid, and pretends to be calm.

But the more I thought about it, the more I felt like I was falling into a pit dug by others step by step.

Another look at Lin Zhen, who couldn't hold back his smile, and Ma Hua, who was full of confidence.

Wang Yuchu's sense of superiority disappeared in an instant, and the reporter asked him his motivation for competing with Bacuilou this time.

He faltered in answering the question: "Comrade Lin Zhen, you didn't say that you want to call the reporter a comrade? Why? Does this matter have to be made public? Can't we go to the end?"

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "What are you thinking? You've already reached the point where I can pick up my signboard. Don't mention anything else. Hurry up, the reporter is asking you something!"
