Chapter 685 Arrange a table for Cai Heping's friends!Dundun: This family will end sooner or later without me! 【Subscribe】

"I didn't expect there to be such a store in Yingchun Street."

At the entrance of Linji Food, several old people got out of the car and looked at the signboard of the store with surprised expressions, especially when they saw that the inscription on the door was written by Geng Lishan.

This great calligrapher never helps others to write door titles, and feels that he has lost his reputation.

But now he actually writes the door for this store, which shows that the boss here really has two brushes, and he conquered the old man with a weird temper.

Cai Heping got off the car, looked at the shocked expressions of the old guys, and said with a smile:

"I heard that Mr. Lishan sent a lot of calligraphy to the owner of this store. The calligraphy that is hard to find for others is sent out here like Chinese cabbage. I ask you if you envy it."

These words made a group of little old men suddenly sour.

When they were young, it was the time when calligraphy was popular. Not only were there various calligraphy competitions and exhibitions at the social level, but even each unit had similar competitions. Calligraphy became everyone's favorite.

At that time, it took several days to get a good piece of Hui ink and a high-quality inkstone, not to mention various high-quality brushes and rice paper.

Now when I hear that Geng Lishan's calligraphy does not require money to be sent out, I feel unbalanced.

After Cai Heping finished speaking, he walked into the store on his own.

He wanted to take Peggy, the great-granddaughter, away before his grandson Komori came here.

Cai Sen had just started raising cats, but the old man was still dissatisfied in various ways. He felt that even if he had a pet, he would have to have a golden eagle, a famous horse, or a costin.

In the end, I raised an inconspicuous kitten. Is this a pet raised by a man?
But when the soft and cute little Peggy held up his antenna-like tail to eat, Cai Heping's heart melted instantly.

Not only took the initiative to hold the little guy in his arms to feed, but also asked people to find a lot of information about raising cats. When he couldn't sleep at night, he secretly lured Peggy to the yard to play with a cat teasing stick.

This old cadre who is usually rigid and dignified is like an old urchin when facing Mao Mao, and he likes Peggy to the bone.

Even if the little guy stepped on his shoulders and climbed to his head, he didn't get angry at all. Instead, he took pictures with his mobile phone to show off to his family.

Entering the store, Cai Heping saw the kittens on the service counter at a glance. Dundun and George had finished eating and were licking their paws and washing their faces, while the greedy Peggy was digging her head into the plate as if she hadn’t eaten enough. Li, licking the water at the bottom of the plate.

He was licking so hard that the hair on his chin was all wet and matted like a Santa.

"Little Peggy, are you full yet?"

When Cai Heping saw how the little guy was eating, he couldn't help being happy.

When Shen Jiayue and Deng Lisong saw Cai Heping coming in, they quickly greeted him:

"Grandpa Cai is good!"

"Welcome Grandpa Cai to the store!"

Cai Heping waved his hand and said with a smile:

"I saw Peggy eating butterfly sea cucumbers, so I came over to take a look. While Komori is still busy, I will take Peggy back later, so that the little guy won't get homesick."

homesick?

Are you reluctant to bear it?
Deng Lisong complained in his heart, took the paper towel on the table and wiped Peggy's chin, while Shen Jiayue put away the empty plate, and said by the way:

"Grandpa Cai, would you like to try the butterfly sea cucumber? It's being made upstairs, and Mr. Lishan is also upstairs."

At this moment, those old people also came in, and when they heard that Geng Lishan was there, they prepared to go up to say hello, order a table of the signature dishes here, and see what they could do to make Geng Lishan send so many words.

Cai Heping originally wanted to leave after receiving Peggy, but since Geng Lishan was here, the old guys wanted to taste the food here, so they said:
"Okay then, we're going to have dinner here today, can you arrange a private room for me?"

The private rooms in the store basically need to be booked two or three days in advance, and it is really impossible to arrange a private room at this moment, Xiaodong said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Cai, our private rooms have already been booked out. How do you see the banquet hall? It's spacious, no one bothers you, and the windows are big, so you don't have to worry about ventilation..."

As a waiter, it is natural to know how to speak.

When recommending guests to the banquet hall, they will specifically mention the advantages of the banquet hall, but they will not mention the disadvantages such as poor privacy.

Of course, customers who really like to eat here don't care so much.

For example, Cai Heping, he knows the taste of the food here, so when he heard about the banquet hall, he immediately waved his hand and said:

"No problem, as long as there is a quiet place to eat."

He strode upstairs with Peggy in his arms. The kitten was so sensible and obedient, so of course he wanted to hold her in his arms.

Everyone came upstairs together. Geng Lishan, who was drinking tea and chatting with Xie Baomin and Yuan Debiao, saw Cai Heping and immediately got up to say hello:

"Brother Heping came by such a coincidence. I just made butterfly sea cucumber today. I must try it later."

Cai Heping said with a smile:

"I came to pick up the kitten home. As soon as I heard that you were upstairs, I came to say hello... These are my old buddies. I heard that the food in our restaurant is delicious, so I want to try something new."

Since he was Cai Heping's friend, Geng Lishan hurriedly said hello, picked up the teapot by the way, and poured tea for everyone himself.

The old men were a little stunned.

Let me go, is this Geng Lishan who stepped down as the president of the Calligraphy Association two years ago and scolded everyone by the way?

Originally, I thought that this old man would be persistent for the rest of his life, but now he would hold a teapot and pour tea to strangers. It was hard to believe my eyes.

While pouring tea, several people recalled what they saw and heard after entering the store. It seemed that starting from the door, to the calligraphy and paintings in the lobby, to the corner of the stairs and the lobby on the second floor, there were indeed a lot of calligraphy works and some paintings of Geng Lishan. .

Calligraphers' paintings are theoretically less valuable than calligraphy works.

But if there are fewer paintings and the calligraphy is famous enough, the price will go up instead. After all, rare things are expensive.

The tea was poured, and when everyone picked up a cup to taste, Geng Lishan said again:

"Don't go back today. I'll arrange it. Let's drink if we can, and drink tea if we can't. Let's taste my little friend Lin's craftsmanship together."

At the moment, Lin Xu is teaching Wei Qian and the others how to make butterfly sea cucumbers in the kitchen, so Geng Lishan is like a host, actively introducing the dishes in the store to everyone enthusiastically.

From the perspective of coffee position, this is a behavior that loses one's status.

But the more this happened, the more surprising it was, what kind of chef would be treated like this by a great calligrapher.

Even if Geng Lishan's own relatives' business, he would not take the initiative to greet guests like this, would he?

When an old man raised his hand to drink tea, he glanced at Xie Baomin casually, and asked a little uncertainly:
"Excuse me... are you Chef Xie from Diaoyutai?"

"Yes, I'm Xie Baomin from Diaoyutai, does the old man know me?"

"A few years ago, I went to Diaoyutai to attend a banquet of the Ministry of Commerce. I was lucky enough to taste Chef Xie's cooking skills. I have never forgotten it..."

The old man finished feeling, and then asked:

"Why is Chef Xie here? Is it... Did you find another job?"

He wanted to ask if he resigned and did it alone, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed it to find another job.

If Xie Baomin is here, everything can be explained.

After all, this is the executive chef of Diaoyutai. If he resigns to start a business and open a restaurant, it will definitely cause shocks in the entire catering industry.

However, the name of this restaurant is Linji Cuisine, not Xieji Cuisine, so the old man is a little puzzled. Does Chef Xie work here?
Xie Baomin smiled and said:

"I'm still working in Diaoyutai. This is my younger brother's restaurant. I have nothing to do today. I will come with our chef Yuan from Diaoyutai No. [-] building to instruct the back chef to make butterfly sea cucumbers."

what?
The boss here is Chef Xie's younger brother?
Cai Heping said to several old buddies:
"I told you to get more in touch with young people, but you didn't listen. Xiaolin is very popular on the Internet, and Chef Xie also made a video of visiting restaurants, specifically to criticize those high-end restaurants. In addition, the master of the two of them is the last one of Diaoyutai. A Chief Chef..."

As soon as he said this, several old people reacted instantly:
"It's the legendary old chef, no wonder. It is said that the state banquet at the opening of the Olympic Games was organized by that old chef."

"No wonder Lao Cai admires this place so much."

"Today, you have to try the signature dishes here."

"..."

Everyone was chatting loudly, Lin Xu came out of the kitchen curiously, and when he saw Cai Heping coming, he came over to say hello.

Geng Lishan said:
"Little friend Lin, these old gentlemen came here to visit the store because of their reputation. You arrange a table of food for me, and I will count it... Do you have any taboos?"

Naturally, Geng Lishan would not take the initiative to put others aside.

But these people were brought by Cai Heping, and Cai Heping was the one who took the initiative to drive Geng Lishan back then. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was a lifesaver, so he was so enthusiastic.

Cai Heping said:
"It's fine for me to come. You don't need Mr. Lishan to treat guests. Xiaolin, you can just pick up what you are good at and set up a table. We have no taboos. We can have sweet, bitter, spicy, and our teeth are fine."

That being the case, Lin Xu said:

"Okay, I'll arrange it now."

Although Cai Heping said that there are no taboos, but according to the characteristics of the weak stomach of the elderly, Lin Xu thinks it is better not to cook those indigestible dishes.

He thought about it and quickly made up his mind.

Choose a few dishes from the clear soup feast, and pair it with the butterfly sea cucumber that was just recorded today, with steamed sea bass, snowflake chicken, Yipin tofu, mutton dipped in sauce, steamed silver shreds, diced chicken wrapped in vegetables, and duck feet with mustard , boneless roast chicken, snowy bean paste and braised silver carp head, should be almost enough.

It's a pity that there is not enough time to make time-consuming dishes, otherwise it would be absolutely enjoyable to have a grilled whole pig's head.

Geng Lishan and the others finished their tea and went upstairs to the banquet hall. Xiao Dong had already arranged the tables. In order to prevent the group of old people from feeling too spacious, they specially separated the room with a screen so that it seemed more private. .

After Lin Xu made arrangements, he went back to the kitchen and started working.

It didn't take long for the dishes to be prepared one after another and sent to the banquet hall upstairs.

When cooking, Lin Xu intentionally cooked more dishes, so when the meal was upstairs, Chen Yan, Chen Yuanyuan, Dou Wenjing and others also had lunch on the second floor.

"Yanbao, how about this butterfly sea cucumber? Isn't it delicious?"

Chen Yan still likes the appearance of the butterfly sea cucumber:
"That's right, it's as pretty as me, and with this amount of food, even if one person eats two servings, they won't gain weight. It's more suitable for people who want to lose weight."

Except for the small quantity, the butterfly sea cucumber basically has no disadvantages.

Of course, she also knows that this kind of dish is mainly for presentation. If you eat it with the idea of ​​filling your stomach, you will probably be disappointed.

Chen Yuanyuan served herself a small bowl of braised silver carp heads, and said to Lin Xu while eating:

"The equipment at the factory has been installed properly. Do you want to go and have a look? Later, after the third-party inspection is completed, it can be put into use... Ziqiangsheng has finally made up for the last shortcoming."

Before setting up a factory, Ziqiang Shengjian completely relied on Wang Ziqiang and his group of apprentices to process all kinds of fried stuffing and hot drinks in the workshop on Logistics Street.

Although it is quite efficient, the operation is not standardized, and the product is greatly affected by human factors.

As a result, Wang Ziqiang didn't take much rest during his working hours, and he focused on production throughout the process.

But the old Wang now is different from the past. He used to earn some money and send it home, but now, he has even started to look at some houses in the outer suburbs.

As you fight to qualify to buy a home, get one and settle your kids' schooling.

Although the issue of household registration is more difficult, and his children can only go back to the place of household registration to take the college entrance examination in the end, it is okay to go to school here, at least they can get in touch with different teaching methods.

Lin Xu took a piece of lamb leg, dipped it in the dipping sauce, put it into his mouth, chewed and said:

"I'll go there sometime, but it doesn't matter whether I look at it or not. The main thing is to pay close attention to food safety, especially when summer is coming. This is a period of high incidence of food safety accidents, so we can't relax."

Chen Yuanyuan took a bite of the fish head:
"Don't worry, it won't. The whole factory is strictly in accordance with the national food safety regulations, and all processes have strict standards."

Lin Xu didn't take much care of the matter of self-improvement, everything was decided by Chen Yuanyuan.

But in major matters, Dou Wenjing still needs to check.

After eating and drinking, Lin Xu went upstairs to toast, chatted with Cai Sen who rushed over for a while, and then prepared to go back home and get off work.

The video has already been filmed, and it still needs to be edited.

Today, after the successful upload of this butterfly sea cucumber dish, there is only one mission left for ten high-end Northeast dishes.

But what to do with this last dish?

Generally speaking, it can be used as the first-class meat in Northeast China, which is a dish stewed with pork, venison and tiger meat. It is said that the taste is plump and delicious.

However, tigers are absolutely protected animals and cannot be eaten at all.

As for the high-end dishes that are popular in Northeast China, such as stewed radish with bear meat, wild deer with pheasant, and stewed roe deer with golden pheasant, they cannot be cooked.

You can't put yourself in it just because you took a video, that would be too bad.

Therefore, we can only work hard from non-protected animals and try to make some high-end and homely dishes.

After arriving home, Dundun didn't watch the cartoon, but followed Lin Xu upstairs to look at the vegetable seedlings on it. Seeing that the seedlings with vegetable seedlings were not wrapped around the bamboo frame, the little guy patiently pawed them a few times with his paws.

However, its toenails were too long, and the head of the seedling was broken after just a few strokes.

Like a child who has done something wrong, the little guy put his head on the seedling to cover it, for fear of being found that the seedling was broken.

"Dundun, do you want to learn how to grow vegetables?"

Shen Jiayue was a little curious, smiled and hugged the little guy in her arms, only then did she see the broken seedling.

"Is this what you did?"

The little guy immediately lowered his head and yelled softly a few times, as if arguing that it had nothing to do with it, it was the seedlings touching the porcelain.

Lin Xu looked at it and said:
"It's okay, I'll send it again when it's broken. As long as there are leaves, you don't have to worry about seedlings, but Dondun, don't mess around. You'll still be waiting for the vegetables later."

"Meow……"

Dundun agreed with some guilt, feeling that it was a disservice.

Lin Xu rubbed its head:

"Don't worry, these vegetable seedlings will grow by themselves. It's getting dark now, let's go back to the house, you continue to watch cartoons, I'll edit the video, and make you a supper at night."

Shen Jiayue pouted and said:
"Dundun caused damage and had supper, so I'm well-behaved and sensible, so should I reward supper even more?"

Lin Xu knew that this girl was planning something, he smiled and asked:

"Tell me, what do you want to eat tonight, I'll make it for you."

Shen Jiayue thought about it seriously:

"Toad, spit honey, the paste you made before is delicious, so I want to eat another delicacy that I loved when I was a child...Xu Bao, have I become a gluttonous girl who only knows how to eat? "

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"It's a blessing to be able to eat. Many people want to eat but can't. But it must be combined with exercise, eating and exercise, to be healthy."

"Oh... I know."

Passing by the balcony door, Lin Xu locked it, and then went to the utility room next to it to look.

The tea oil duck that was marinated on New Year's Day was still soaking. He really wanted to take it out to have a look, but he was worried that the heat would not be enough, which would result in the lack of flavor of the duck meat.

If you want to taste it, you have to wait a little longer. You can take it out and taste it next month.

Then it might cause a sensation again.

This dish has been recorded in video from preparation to marinating. When it is out of the pot and tasted, it can be edited into a video that spans half a year for netizens to watch.

Let them see how patient high-end chefs are.

When they came to the second floor of the kitchen, Dundun and Shen Jiayue went to the first floor to watch cartoons, while Lin Xu went to the study, copied the afternoon video material to the computer, and then opened the video editing software to start editing the video of the butterfly sea cucumber.

Downstairs, Shen Jiayue played the game for a while and felt bored. Seeing that Dundun was watching Xiong Daxiong Er stealing a gourmet meal made by Bald Qiang, she came up with the idea of ​​secretly cooking.

She didn't dare to make the newly made butterfly sea cucumber today, for fear of cutting it on her hands.

But there is no such restriction for other delicacies, such as the toad spitting honey that I suddenly wanted to eat just now.

"If I secretly make it in the kitchen and serve it to Xu Bao, he will be very pleasantly surprised, right?"

I went to the kitchen to look, and there happened to be red bean paste stuffing for toad spitting honey in the refrigerator, which was fried with lard, which just met the requirements for making toad spitting honey.

It's not difficult to raise face, Shen Jiayue has fully mastered it.

As for the production process, it is quite simple, just put it in the oven and bake it.

After checking the production process of Toad Spit Honey on the Internet, Shen rolled up his sleeves and started preparing to make it.

Seeing this situation, Dundun on the sofa couldn't help but sigh, and then tapped the remote control with his paw to pause the TV program.

It jumped off the sofa, trotted all the way to the kitchen door, and squatted on the dining chair, like a project supervisor, carefully watching Mommy's movements, for fear of causing any harm to the kitchen.

Alas, I really worry about my life, even if I go home, I can't watch cartoons happily... Miao's life is hard!

The little cat sighed, his eyes full of melancholy.
