Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

"I'm Ning Xiaoli, who will interview me?"

Soon, a man in his thirties walked up the stairs. His face was flushed, like Guan Gong, and it seemed that he had been smoked by working around the oven all year round.

Lin Xu got up and said:

"I'm interviewing you, come, show me the roast duck oven."

Although Ning Xiaoli had watched Lin Xu's video on the Internet and knew all of Lin Xu's brilliant deeds, he was somewhat shocked when he suddenly saw a real person.

Too young.

Only 23 years old this year?So many achievements have been made.

Although I don't know how much moisture there is, but there must be real skills, but I am probably a noob in roast duck, and I don't even know the roast duck oven, so I have to help check it.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoli felt that Third Uncle and the others had exaggerated a bit too much.

As a Chinese chef working in the capital, can he do it if he doesn't know how to cook roast duck?Is this what a top chef should look like?
One of the famous chefs in the capital counts as one, and which one doesn't have a beautiful skill in duck cooking?

He followed Lin Xu to the direction of the oven, observing the situation in the shop while walking. Everyone was having lunch at the moment, and there were quite a lot of people.

But when he saw Wei Qian, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The little slag who doesn't know how to cook roast duck unexpectedly ran here and became the head chef, Zhu Yong and Qin Wei also became the head chefs.

Young people's money is easy to cheat.

When he came to the oven, he saw two holes with a curious expression on his face:

"Why two mouths? Isn't this too unprofessional? Did Wei Gan tell you? He is a person who doesn't know how to cook roast duck, and he doesn't understand the trick at all. You have been deceived..."

Listening to his eloquent words, Lin Xu couldn't help being happy.

This Ning Xiaoli has a lot of opinions on non-roast duck chefs. If he becomes the general chairman of the Chinese Cuisine Association one day, he wonders if he will vigorously promote the policy of "respect duck art and dethrone all schools of thought".

"I asked someone to do this. The reason why I left two holes at that time was because I didn't know whether to make a stewing oven or hang it up."

Upon hearing this, Ning Xiaoli asked curiously:
"Have you thought about what to do now?"

Lin Xu nodded.

Ning Xiaoli then asked:

"Do you want to make a hanging oven or a stewing oven?"

"Children only make choices...I do all of them. Looking back at these two ports, one is used as a braising furnace and the other is used as a hanging furnace. Yesterday, someone built a wall with refractory bricks in the middle to separate the two furnaces. Now you See how the furnace space of the two furnaces is, and whether you need to adjust it."

Ning Xiaoli glanced at Lin Xu like a fool:
"To make roast duck, you have to choose one way. You can either stew it in the oven or hang it in the oven. Who fooled you into thinking of both ways? If you can't sell it later, you will lose a lot..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xu interrupted him:
"Our Lin Kee never lacks customers, and we never worry about having too many dishes. No matter how many dishes there are, they will all be sold out before closing."

Ning Xiaoli: "..."

Needless to say, Lin Kee's business is indeed famous, and there are many customers every day.

It's just such a good business, but there are some bosses who don't know how to cook roast duck, and there are certain problems in the management of the back kitchen.

But anyway, he is the supervisor of Diaoyutai's catering department, so I'll take the trouble to help him take a look, and leave after reading. There is no roast duck expert here, so there is no need to waste time.

Ning Xiaoli came here originally to see Lin Xu's craftsmanship.

But in this situation, he felt that he didn't have much to learn. He didn't even understand roast duck. The development of such a chef was really limited, so there was no need to follow along.

While thinking about it, Ning Xiaoli leaned forward to observe the furnace, and turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone to see what was going on inside.

"This firewall is too poorly built, right? You must have been fooled."

While speaking, he touched the cracks of the bricks inside with his hands, then looked at the oven next to him, and said to Lin Xu:

"The wall is not up to standard, and the location is not right. The hanging oven roast duck is cooked by heat reflection, so the roof should not be too high, and the entire furnace should be roughly square. This furnace is obviously too high, and the heat cannot be reflected. , affect the quality of roast duck.”

He paused, then pointed to the stewing oven next to him:
"The braising furnace pays attention to airtightness, and it must be burnt and then simmered, so the design of the furnace should be based on delaying the cooling. In order to achieve this effect, the smoke exhaust port should not be placed on the top. The temperature escapes..."

After hearing this, Lin Xu felt that he had found the head chef of the roast duck department he wanted.

Jian Jian pointed out so many deficiencies. For the sake of high-quality roast duck, this oven really needs to be reorganized.

Ning Xiaoli talked more and more vigorously, pointing to the rotary grill inside and said:
"Get rid of this thing. It's useless. If you're a low-end roast duck, it's fine. If you want a high-end roast duck, you have to do it manually. Although the machine is good, it can't roast a 100% perfect duck."

When baking by hand, the speed and frequency of flipping can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the firepower and the burning condition of the firewood, while the flipping by machine can only be done mechanically without taking into account these details.

So high-end roast duck restaurants, until now, are still roasting by hand.

Hearing this, Lin Xu looked at Ning Xiaoli and asked:
"You do have a deep research on roast duck. Do you want to come to our Linji Gourmet and give you the head chef's treatment. From now on, you will be in charge of the roast duck."

Even if he hadn't seen Ning Xiaoli's skills, Lin Xu already believed that he was a master.

Moreover, the nephews of Diaoyutai's chefs would not be allowed to hang out in Diaoyutai if they were not skilled in craftsmanship. I couldn't afford to lose that person. Ning Yiheng was able to recommend him in the group because he must be very confident in his nephew's craftsmanship.

Otherwise, if you get a straw bag, you will lose the face of the Ning family.

Lin Xu is very clear about the treatment of Diaoyutai. The work there is easy and there is no performance pressure, but don't want to make a lot of money, because there are too many masters, and everyone is suffering slowly.

Originally, he thought that Ning Xiaoli would immediately agree to the invitation.

Unexpectedly, after the red-faced Guan Gong was stunned for a moment, he readily refused:
"I want to find someone who can suppress me in roast duck and stimulate my roast duck cooking skills. You...can't provide such conditions here."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I'm going, what did I do to make you misunderstand so deeply?
However, it is not difficult to overwhelm him with roast duck skills. After the oven is ready, just make a roast duck, and this guy will be convinced.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu said:
"Then why don't you do me a favor and direct the workers here to rectify the duck oven? I'll tell your third uncle that I'll be seconded for a few days, and I'll give you a subsidy for a few days. I'll give you a thousand a day temporarily... Count from today."

People won't put it back, this kind of weirdo with a mind full of roast duck is exactly the kind of talent we Lin Kee needs.

Ning Xiaoli originally wanted to refuse, but when Lin Xu offered a subsidy of 1000 yuan a day, he suddenly felt that everyone was in the same company and should be happy to help others.

Besides, Lin Xu is still the supervisor of the catering department, so he should help the third uncle build a good relationship.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoli said:
"Okay, then I'll help you rectify the oven, change it to this double oven, and remove the automatic grill inside by the way..."

Throwing money means really can ah.

Lin Xu sighed in his heart, and immediately sent a message to Dou Wenjing, asking her to find a construction team who can build roast duck ovens, and let Ning Xiaoli come up with the rectification plan first, and then start to operate.

In addition to the roast duck stove, the small utility room next to it had to be vacated as a drying room for the roast duck.

To make roast duck, the duck must be dried thoroughly, so that the roasted duck skin is crispy enough, and this kind of crispness can reflect the tenderness of the duck meat, which is very enjoyable to eat.

In addition to the air-drying room, when making roast duck in summer, the dried duck blank should be put in the cold storage overnight, so that the meat will be more tender and will not spoil.

If it has been hung in the drying room, it might attract flies.

In this way, Ning Xiaoli was fooled by Lin Xu's high salary and temporarily stayed in the shop. He squatted in front of the roast duck stove, seriously thinking about the rectification plan.

The space is limited and the main flue has been finalized, so we can only find a way in the hearth.

Lin Xu didn't bother him, and went on his own.

Soon, the noon rush hour arrived, and the back kitchen entered a tense working state. Everyone was busy efficiently, which formed a sharp contrast with the Diaoyutai back kitchen.

When Ning Xiaoli was waiting for the construction team to arrive, he accidentally glanced at the kitchen door, and found that Wei Gan and the others were busy cooking, and even Lin Xu had already put on his clothes.

At this moment, the store is almost full, and there are still many customers waiting in line outside.

In order to increase the turnover rate, Lin Xu had to speed up the frequency of serving dishes.

In this way, everyone can eat and drink enough to make room for the next table of customers.

"Fuck, this business is really enviable."

Although the chefs here don't know much about roast duck, Ning Xiaoli likes the atmosphere very much, and he thinks the back kitchen should be in this state.

Not long after, the person in charge of the construction team came.

Ning Xiaoli showed the other party the sketches he had drawn in his spare time, and explained the rectification plan and the internal settings of the oven.

"These are two stoves that don't interfere with each other, right? Then I understand, one is a hanging stove and the other is a stewing stove. Is the boss here planning to wipe out the two schools of roast duck in Beijing?"

The boss here knows how to roast duck with a hammer... Ning Xiaoli muttered in his heart, and said with a smile:

"Then I don't know. Anyway, I am responsible for making the roast duck stove according to his idea. As for the roasted duck, it has nothing to do with me."

The person in charge of the construction team has helped people build many roast duck stoves in the capital, so he is no stranger to this stuff.

After listening to Ning Xiaoli's explanation, he said:

"Generally, I have already understood that construction is not possible now. Let's wait until the evening. I will bring someone over after get off work in the evening. It is estimated that it will be completed before twelve o'clock."

This kind of small rectification is easier to get started, as long as no one makes trouble, it will definitely be done very quickly.

After finalizing the plan, Ning Xiaoli said:
"I won't bargain with you. The quality must be good. Don't try to fool me. Before I can walk, I was hugged by the adults in front of the roast duck stove. I am more familiar with this thing than myself."

"Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you... At nine o'clock tonight, I will bring the workers and the refractory bricks together. If it is not available, there will be no charge."

In the kitchen, Wei Gan prepared a fried noodle and was about to take a break when Zhuang Yizhou next to him asked:
"Is that the person who is particularly good at Diaoyutai Roast Duck just now?"

"It's pretty good among the younger generation, but he's crazy about roast duck. He thinks that only roast duck is authentic in Chinese food. People who don't know how to cook roast duck don't deserve to talk to him... Both Zhu Yong and I have quarreled with him. , what you say can piss a person off."

It's a pity that Zhu Yong is not here, otherwise we can close the door and beat the dog now.

Zhuang Yizhou said:
"Since he's crazy about cooking roast duck, he shouldn't be able to quarrel with you, so why are you still mad at him?"

"The roast duck can't leave your mouth all day, why are you arguing with him?"

Zhuang Yizhou chuckled:
"It's too simple. The more he values ​​the roast duck, the more you will bury the roast duck. It will definitely make him cry."

Mai Tai?

Wei Gan opened his mouth, feeling that he could indeed fight back in this way.

He was just about to ask Zhuang Yizhou to help him figure out a way to bury him, when the chef who was in charge of preparing the menu not far away shouted:
"Four servings of fried noodles, two servings of eggs, and two servings of shredded pork."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qian didn't bother to inquire, and hurried to work.

After the fried noodles were ready, Zhuang Yizhou went to the soup department. The guest upstairs ordered a piece of emerald soup to sober up, so he had to make it quickly to avoid being urged by the customer.

Seeing this situation, Wei Gan didn't pursue and ask, but started to think about it himself.

At this moment, there is a piece of egg soup on the workbench that has not been delivered yet. It says table number six, which is where Cui Qingyuan and Geng Lele eat.

Wei Qian picked it up and was about to send it out, when he happened to meet Geng Lele who came over to urge the egg soup.

"Lele, is this your soup?"

"Yes, I ordered it, why is Brother Wei so worried, did Sister Tiantian bully you?"

"No, how could she be willing to bully me."

Wei Qian smiled, and handed the bowl in his hand to Geng Lele, suddenly remembered that Xiao Lele was a top student specially recruited to Tsinghua University, so he asked in a low voice:
"Lele, I have a friend..."

"Brother Wei, just ask if you have anything, and you don't need to beat around the bush."

"Hey, it's like this. There is a man who is obsessed with making roast duck and keeps arguing with me. He always thinks that roast duck is the king of food. How do you think I should fight back?"

Others don't understand this, Xiao Lele should know.

After all, she often gets so angry that Brother Qiang yells and yells, mocking that her rank is at least the Grandmaster level.

Upon hearing this, Geng Lele waved his hands with a relaxed face:

"It's not easy, just invite him to eat roast duck, it will definitely break his defense."

Wei Qian: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Come on, come on, why didn't I think of this?

Mao Roast Duck is a delicacy that has become popular in Rongcheng in the past two years. The roast duck is cut into large pieces, put into the prepared spicy red oil stewed soup, and made in the way of Maocai.

It tastes good, but for roast duck masters, especially Yanjing roast duck masters, it does have a [-]% damage increase.

Yanjing made the roast duck into a high-class dish. From the initial selection of ducks to handling the ducks, to roasting the ducks and even eating the ducks, there is a set of cumbersome rules.

It can be said that there is exquisiteness everywhere, and there is a way at every step.

However, this kind of duck, which is eaten in a high-class way, is chopped into large pieces by people, and then cooked as a dish.

Is there a more wasteful way to eat than this?
Is there anything more powerful than chewing peonies?
The more Wei Qian thought about it, the more he felt relieved. If he hadn't been busy at the moment, he really wanted to get a roast duck and make one for Ning Xiaoli himself, so that he could feel the joy of breaking the defense.

Just thinking about it, Ning Xiaoli walked over from the oven not far away.

Seeing Wei Qian, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, just about to sneer, but Wei Qian spoke first:

"Master Ning, I really worked hard for you today. Let's have dinner in the restaurant and let you try my cooking... After leaving Diaoyutai, I have learned a lot of dishes, which will definitely impress you."

When Ning Xiaoli heard it, she didn't care:

"Okay, then I'll check for you. Who told you that you came out of Diaoyutai? Everything you say and do represents that place. I don't want Diaoyutai to follow you and be humiliated."

Wei Gan didn't refute, and told Geng Lele to order whatever he wanted to eat, and went back to the kitchen to work.

However, he has already made up his mind that when he is done with work, he will send some roast ducks over, and cook roast ducks for the employees in the evening.

Originally, he wanted Xu Xinhua to cook a few roasted ducks in the same way as roasted geese, but it was troublesome to think about it. Relatively speaking, the ducks from those roasted stew stalls in the vegetable market were more cost-effective.

In the afternoon, Lin Xu interviewed several roast duck chefs recommended by his peers.

I plan to let them all stay, and wait for the roast duck stove to be rectified, and then the mule and Ma Ke will take a walk.

On the other side, at the Yanjing Hotel, Uncle Gao took a sip from a glass of Biluochun, and said to Qiu Yaozu:
"This tea is not bad. Get me some three to five catties later. Xiaoyan will hold a wedding on May [-]st. When the time comes, use this tea to entertain guests. It should be quite popular."

Qiu Yaozu said speechlessly:

"Take it as melon seeds in bulk, and it's still three to five catties. This year, I got less than two catties in total. Three to five catties or something. Go pick tea and make tea yourself."

He Guangchang on the side echoed:

"It's really a bit extravagant to use this tea at a wedding... Lao Gao, I'm going to shoot the 90s state banquet soon. Has Xiaoxu returned from Yinzhou? He has to participate, how can it be successful if he doesn't participate?"

The State Banquet series of documentaries do not have much to watch, they are all kinds of dishes, some of which are repeated many times, such as the palace fried shrimp balls and emerald shrimp balls, which appear frequently.

At this time, if there are no figures to stimulate the ratings, the documentary will be in jeopardy.

In the circle, only Lin Xu can stimulate the ratings the most.

Therefore, He Guangchang felt that it would be best for Lin Xu to participate in the whole process, so that the ratings would be guaranteed, and everyone's face would be saved. How great.

Uncle Gao said:
"The people who participated in the state banquet in the 90s are still there, there is no need to steal everyone's limelight, just wait, and let Xiaoxu participate in the filming in the 80s and [-]s."

Guo Jichang asked:
"What are the important state banquets in the 80s?"

Dai Yuefeng, who was tasting tea at the side, said:
"Nixon's state banquet in China should be more important."

Hearing the name of this state banquet, Uncle Gao made a final decision and said:
"Then let my apprentice participate in the filming starting from Nixon's visit to China. I will leave the banquet before that to you to show off your skills..."
