Chapter 215 Another Worry
"Sir, don't worry, my master is the authentic descendant of Lu cuisine, a direct disciple of the Fushan gang in the eighth building of the capital..." Xiao Hai said immediately.

If Liang Yiming heard his little apprentice Xiao Hai bragging for him in front of the guests, he would have to punish him again.

Zhou Sen didn't have much research on Lu cuisine, but he had heard of the Eighth Building in Beijing, Dongxing Building, Fengze Garden, Tongheju...all of these.

He has also heard of some of the classic dishes in Shandong cuisine. This story is written about fireworks in the world, and eating is inseparable in one's life.

As a qualified writer, even if he has never eaten it, it does not prevent him from doing some research in this area.

"Is there any fried sea cucumber with green onion?"

"Yes!" Xiao Hai hesitated for a moment, but immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's fry the sea cucumber with scallions, and let's have a first-grade tofu, fried in oil and double crispy, and make another fish. What kind of fish do you masters specialize in? Is it steamed or braised?" Zhou Sen asked.

"It's all right."

"Braise it in soy sauce. The steamed dish has a mild taste. I have a strong taste." Zhou Sen thought for a while, "Four dishes are enough for me."

"Okay, then wait a moment, I will notify the back chef."

"Don't worry, do it slowly, for this delicious food, I can wait." Zhou Sen said calmly.

"Then I'll make you a pot of tea?"

"Okay, let's have a pot of scented tea." Zhou Sen didn't make things difficult for the other party. This is a restaurant, not a tea house. Generally, the tea is very ordinary, but scented tea should still be available.

"Okay." Xiao Hai agreed, telling him intuitively that the guest who came at noon today was very unusual.

It's a bit like wanting to smash the field.

I have to inform my master immediately.

Liang Yiming was not too busy, there were few people eating at noon, there were only two tables of individual customers, and there were not many dishes. With his efficiency, he just moved a few spatulas and it was done.

Xiao Hai came in and said what Zhou Sen ordered, Liang Yiming also frowned slightly, the first three of the four dishes Zhou Sen ordered were all classic and famous dishes in Shandong cuisine, the famous dishes are famous dishes, the ones cooked Good or bad depends on the skill of the chef.

There are many people who eat these three dishes, and there are many ways to pass them on. This is something that people can’t be fooled by.

As for the last fish, they didn't say what kind of fish they were made of, they only said it was braised in brown sauce.

Liang Yiming has traveled far and wide, and has seen a lot. He has never seen any kind of gluttonous person. His cooking skills are not mentioned, and the master level is no problem.

If it weren't for not being too famous and deliberately hiding his clumsiness, he would have no problem applying for the head chef of Houde Building.

Sea cucumber soaking takes time...

This guest really posed a problem for him, but it was not a problem for Liang Yiming. The guest ordered food to test himself. If he didn't show his skills, he would be underestimated at first.

"Xiao Hai, go and make the tea and send it over, come and help me." Liang Yiming solemnly ordered.

"Okay, Master."

Zhou Sen is willing to wait to eat authentic Shandong cuisine, and he also has the time today.

"Sir, take your time." Xiao Hai delivered a pot of scented tea to Zhou Sen to the private room, served him some melon seeds and peanuts, and took it out the door.

Naturally, it takes time to taste the sea cucumber with scallions, so this dish should be the last one.

The first course is Yipin Tofu.

Zhou Sen ordered a jug of rice wine, which was hot enough to drink in winter.

The tofu is smooth, tender, salty, and very delicious. Zhou Sen is very satisfied with the food. This "old gun" is actually a good cook. I can learn from it in the future. I am good at southern cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Shanghai cuisine and Cantonese cuisine. Can.

But he can only be regarded as a folk cook.

The second dish is fried double crispy. The main ingredients of this dish are pork belly and pork kidney (chicken gizzards can also be used). This dish is a famous dish in Shandong cuisine. The production process is not difficult, but it is rare to do it well.

And the plate that Xiao Haiduan came in, the red and white contrasted in an interesting way, the color is attractive, the aroma is tangy, put a chopstick in your mouth, and the taste buds will instantly open up, it is really delicious in the world!
Absolutely!
The third dish was braised fish in braised sauce. When it came in, it didn't look special, just like the common braised fish at home.

However, when the fish belly was opened with chopsticks, the smell of the fish came out. It turned out that before cooking the fish, the fish skin was wrapped with egg liquid, fried in hot oil, and then boiled on high heat. The fish meat was tender and delicious.

The last sea cucumber dish with green onions made Zhou Sen wait for an hour and a half before bringing it in, and the person who served it was changed from Xiaohai to Liang Yiming.

As a chef, there is such a customer who can eat in the store, so he naturally wants to meet him in person.

"Sir, what do you think of the food in the shop?" Liang Yiming asked with a slight nod.

"That's right, Master Liang's cooking is very authentic, fully displaying the fresh, fragrant and salty characteristics of Lu cuisine!" Zhou Sen took a bite of a sea cucumber and praised it full of praise.

"Mr. is satisfied with the food, that is the honor of the shop!" Liang Yiming raised his waist slightly, his face was not complacent, obviously he was very sure of his cooking skills.

"Listen to the accent, is Master Liang's hometown from LY?" Zhou Sen asked suddenly after eating a mouthful of sea cucumber.

Liang Yiming narrowed his eyes slightly, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid you heard wrong, I'm from Jinan Prefecture?"

"Really, there is a place called West Lake in Jinan Prefecture, and there is a Tiegong Temple on the south bank, which is dedicated to Si Tiexuan, the chief minister of the early Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Sir, you made a mistake. The Tiegong Temple is in the northwest, and the Jiaxuan Temple on the south bank is dedicated to Mr. Lu Jiaxuan, a famous scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty. Moreover, this West Lake is an ancient place name, and it is now called Daming Lake." Liang Yiming explained and corrected.

"Oh, that's what I remembered wrong." Zhou Sen chuckled, and the code words in the joint were all right. The code words should not have been designed by Peshkov, but should have come from the big-eyed Shandong man in front of him. Wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, he said, "Master Liang, this dish is very good today. I will come again at this time the day after tomorrow. I want to eat fried fish fillets, Jiuzhuan large intestine and mullet egg soup."

"Then you haven't finished eating on this table?" Liang Yiming asked, pointing to a small half of the dishes on the table.

"Master Liang, if you don't mind, save some extra food for the guys." Zhou Sen chuckled, took out the money, and pressed it under the flagon and said.

"Thank you, distinguished guest!" Liang Yiming clasped his fists together.

"I will come here often." Zhou Sen took the scarf and hat, turned his head, smiled at Liang Yiming, opened the door and went out.

Interesting young man, he is actually..., Liang Yiming didn't ask any further questions, since the other party didn't reveal his identity, he understood it.

"Master, that guest..." Seeing Zhou Sen leave, Xiao Hai ran over from the front and asked.

"From now on, whenever this guest comes to eat, you should report to me immediately." Liang Yiming solemnly ordered.

"Master, who is he?"

"Don't ask too many questions. Also, I'll go out in the afternoon, and you'll stay at home to look after the store." Liang Yiming said as he untied his apron.

"Yes, Master." Xiao Hai nodded, not asking questions that shouldn't be asked, Xiao Hai has long been used to it over the years.

……

New stage box office.

Zhou Sen paid for a ticket to enter the arena, because the opening was approaching, and all the good seats had been sold out, leaving only corner seats.

He didn't care either, he was here to listen to the opera, if he wanted to see people, there was really no need to waste money.

After Xiao Xiang became popular, besides Pingju, she would also cooperate with other opera troupes and participate in performances of other genres and repertoires. Of course, most of them were willing to play supporting roles, but even so, as long as there were performances with him, can attract a large audience.

Jiang Rou has made rapid progress on the road of art by learning from the strengths of others.

She co-starred with other troupes, and also gave the actors of her own drama company a chance to perform on stage. After all, as long as she took the position, other actors would have no chance to play her role.

Jiang Rou doesn't have to worry that others will take her position, so any competition below is benign.

She will give opportunities to those who sing well and make progress. In the past six months, several small roles have emerged in the "Lanxin" drama club.

Drinking tea, listening to the opera, the noise in the ears, but the inner peace.

An afternoon passed like this.

Coming out of the new stage, Zhou Sen didn't go backstage to look for Jiang Rou, but waited at the back door of the new stage.

After the show, as long as there is no show at night, she will go back to Ningxiang Hall.

A famous actor like Jiang Rou naturally needs protection. Qin Lang specially equipped her with a carriage and full-time bodyguards.

Those who pick up and drop off work every day are Qin Lang's former most capable subordinates.

Qin Lang's subordinates naturally knew Zhou Sen, so Zhou Sen got into the carriage first and waited for Jiang Rou in the carriage.

Jiang Rou didn't know that Zhou Sen had been waiting for her in the carriage at the back door of the new stage for nearly half an hour. When she opened the door and looked up, she was very pleasantly surprised.

"Brother, why are you in the car?"

"Passing by, it won't be inconvenient to take your ride home, right?" Zhou Sen chuckled, stretched out his hand, and pulled Jiang Rou up.

"How could it be?" Jiang Rou happily got into the carriage and closed the door.

"Xiaorou, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Before I went to the police academy for special training, I didn't have time to chat with you. I don't know much about your situation these years. I don't care enough about some aspects. You don't talk to me. It's fine if I say it, but I have to tell you, Sister Lan, that you are both women, so it's easy to talk." After the carriage started, Zhou Sen said slowly.

"Brother, what do you want to say?" Jiang Rou was a little surprised and asked cautiously.

"Xiaorou, what kind of people have you met outside these years, what kind of thoughts have you been influenced by, you have to grasp your own position, but don't make mistakes, this is related to your future and destiny!" Zhou Sen solemnly said.

"Brother, I don't quite understand what thoughts and positions you're talking about." Jiang Rou blinked and asked back.

"Young man, passionate and impulsive, easily bewitched by some kind of doctrine, I don't want you to have anything to do with those people." Zhou Sen closed his eyes and said slowly.

"Brother, where are you going? I'm just an opera singer, and I have no other skills. What else can I do?"

"That's good." Zhou Sen leaned against the window and closed his mouth.

Jiang Rou tested him last night, and he was testing Jiang Rou. Now it seems that Jiang Rou's identity is probably not ordinary, well, this is one more thing to worry about.
