Chapter 1280 Turning around?

"Good guy, this first dish is extraordinary. This golden chicken tower has also been restored. It seems that I am quite lucky!"

The surprise on Minister Jin's face was not fake, he was obviously very optimistic about this dish, and then President Hou recalled that this dish was one of the "eight major dishes" in the previous high-end banquets.

"Minister, have you seen this dish before?"

As soon as President Hou finished asking, Minister Jin nodded happily and said, "No, there are photos of this dish in the archives. This was the dish made by the first batch of Sichuan chefs for the state banquet that year.

It's a pity that Master Zhou, who knew how to make this dish, died of illness not long after, and this dish has never appeared again. It has to be said that it is a very regrettable thing! "

Unexpectedly, Minister Jin actually knew a lot about Sichuan cuisine. It seemed that the state banquet chef's archives were well collected. President Hou had some thoughts in his mind. Why don't he let Chu Yunfeng go in to hunt for gold?

Then Minister Jin looked at the menu one by one, and read out the names of each menu: "Crispy Pork Slices, Yipin Sea Cucumber, Kung Pao Loin, Sweet and Sour Crispy Fish, Hot Worm Ginger Chicken, Pot stickers with red bean paste.

Dried shredded pork, fish-flavored eight-piece chicken, shredded radish pancake, oily noodles, fatty sausage and bean paste soup”

Among the first twelve dishes, there are chicken, fish, and seafood, as well as dim sum and soup. There are also many types of Sichuan cuisine involved, and they all have the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine.

Anyone who knows a little bit about Sichuan cuisine will understand the names of gongbao, sweet and sour, ginger juice, dry glutinous rice, and fish flavor. They are definitely very representative terms in Sichuan cuisine.

Tonight is definitely a blessing, but when Minister Jin saw this soup, he still couldn't help frowning: "This fat intestine bean paste soup is quite interesting.

It's the first time I've heard of this fat sausage and bean paste together to make soup, and I don't know what's special about this method? "

This also speaks to President Hou's feelings. Everyone knows that the taste of the sausage is very strong, and it is unknown what the bean paste is, so this combination makes people feel very weird.

President Hou began to speculate: "The red bean paste in Sichuan cuisine should generally refer to peas rather than red beans. We usually use red bean bean paste for bread and so on.

So I guess this dish should be stewed with fat intestines and peas, and it will definitely give us a surprise when it is served. "

Although he has never seen it, President Hou is sure that he has a good guess, which makes Minister Jin nod his head and concentrate on watching Chu Yunfeng cooking.

At this time, Guo Kui was processing the flour, and it seemed that he was making crisps. It seemed that tonight's two snacks, shredded radish pancake and sub-mian oil flower, should be amazing.

"Old Hou, is there anything special about this shredded radish pancake? Why can it still be included in the ranks of old Sichuan cuisine?"

The name of shredded radish cake sounds very ordinary to me, so Minister Kim is a little worried that the name is not true and will damage the reputation of old Sichuan cuisine.

But President Hou showed a look of great anticipation, and immediately explained with a smile: "I'm not sure, but I've heard that shredded radish pancakes are a home-cooked snack in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

But I was quite surprised that this dim sum is also included in Sichuan cuisine. The preparation is probably quite special, and I am also very curious! "

The two curious babies stood aside without blinking their eyes and watched Chu Yunfeng and the three of them keep busy, but they couldn't see why at the moment, because the three of them were dealing with all kinds of things non-stop. Ingredients.

However, the fillings placed next to Guo Kui made the two of them look at each other, because it was obvious that shredded radish could be seen in the filling, and some meat and green onions could also be clearly seen.

It seems that it has been marinated in advance. This should be the filling of the shredded radish cake. It doesn't look amazing, so it depends on the characteristics of this cake.

Wu Ma and Master Zhu also got busy, while the other chefs in the back kitchen were discussing in low voices, feeling very surprised that Minister Jin was an uninvited guest.

"Who is this person? He seems to be a big leader. President Hou is here to accompany him, so he can't be wrong!"

"More than just President Hou, didn't you see that Wu Ma and Master Zhu went to the door to greet them just now? Their status must be quite high!"

"Hey, I was passing by just now and accidentally heard him being called Minister. Maybe he is from Beijing. It seems that our hotel is really awesome!"

With everyone's discussions, everyone gradually felt that the future of Xingchen was very broad, and they couldn't help but work a little harder.

After Mu Qing had arranged everything, she was waiting for the arrival of Han Bingbing and Xia Tong. The two were still decorating their new house at home. Yesterday, Chu Yue led a team out to do some shopping again, decorating the entire villa. very beautiful.

When the two heard that Minister Jin was coming, they handed over all the work here to Chu Yue, which made her a little depressed.

But when Mu Qing said that there was a big meal to be eaten in the evening, Chu Yue yelled that she had to speed up a little bit and not delay the big meal in the evening.

In addition, Mu Qing once again confirmed the arrival time of her grandparents and uncle. It will be at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and her best friends will also be back together.

This time I came not only to congratulate, but also to serve as my bridesmaid, forming a bridesmaid team with Hao Minming and Liu Xiaoxiao. The wedding day must be very lively.

Needless to say, the best man, Hu Yue and Guo Kui will definitely not be able to run away, after all, my girlfriend is the bridesmaid, it seems that this best man is still short of one, but Peng Yue has already booked it.

Grandma's health is not very good, but after a period of conditioning and recuperation, she is much better now, so she can come here at this time.

Relatives came to congratulate her, but Mu Qing still felt a little bit of regret in her heart. That one, alas.
After Han Bingbing and Xia Tong came to the hotel, they went into the back kitchen to meet with Minister Jin. They originally planned to invite Minister Jin to a private room for tea, but he refused to go there, saying that he wanted to watch Chu Yunfeng cook. .

This also made Xia Tong and Han Bingbing dumbfounded. They could only follow his wishes and went to the mall to buy some things they missed, unwilling to waste any time.

After this period of treatment, Han Bingbing has obviously improved a lot. Now walking is basically no problem, just a little slower.

It's rare to have someone to go shopping with, so I've been very excited these past few days. In addition, I was preparing new houses for Mu Qing and Chu Yunfeng, so naturally I and Xia Tong did it personally.

Just as Minister Kim was watching with great interest, President Xiong came over and after saying hello, he watched carefully from the side. Minister Kim's phone also rang.

"Yeah, um, I know, I'll pass it on right away.

Okay, okay, I understand, don't worry, there will be no problems, I have already started cooking, a total of 36 dishes in three days.

Yes, there is no repetition, plus the 54 dishes I made before, there are already [-] dishes
I think there is no problem, the quantity should be real, I have confirmed it.

I understand, but"

Minister Jin's expression became serious as he spoke, and his brows frowned. He glanced at President Hou and President Xiong, and walked quietly to a secluded place.

"Leader, I confirmed it with Mr. Li. He personally admitted that there are more than 500 dishes, and Xiao Chu also confirmed that there is indeed such a large number.

What?Do you have to see it with your own eyes?
No, boss, this time is too late. It takes too much preparation time to make these dishes. In addition, Xiao Chu is getting married in two days, so there is no time at all? "

A look of anxiety appeared on Minister Jin's face, which was keenly caught by President Hou. It seemed that something difficult had arisen. He did not bother Minister Jin to answer the phone, but he had a bad premonition in his heart. .

“I know the importance of this ASEAN meeting, so didn’t I fly directly to Chengdu?
No, this matter has already been agreed in a meeting before, so why do we need to reconfirm it again?This is the best solution so far, and I don't think there is any problem.

I don’t have a bad attitude, I’m just telling the truth. Whoever questions it, let him make arrangements. Anyway, this is the solution I have now, nothing else can be done.

I just don’t understand. Why is it so unbelievable that more than 500 dishes have been restored?

I'm not complaining, they just want evidence, that's fine, I'll ask, if I really want to object, then I have nothing to do, let them figure out a way"

Minister Jin seemed a little depressed after hanging up the phone. He stood there with a straight face and pondered for a while before walking back.

"Minister, what happened?"

President Hou has been watching Minister Jin's actions, especially seeing his frown, which also affected his mood.

"Well, it's a little troublesome. I'll tell you later. I'll take a photo first. When it's over, we'll go outside to discuss it."

With a "thump", President Hou felt a little bad all over. Listening to what Minister Jin meant, it seemed that this matter was not simple. Could it be that he wanted to cancel the plan he had made before?
Especially when he saw Minister Jin gritting his teeth, President Hou guessed that it was really possible. After all, this matter was not trivial. It was normal for there to be objections after reporting it to the public.

clack clack.
Minister Jin slapped the ingredients on the table and Chu Yunfeng, and then sent them out immediately. Seeing that Chu Yunfeng was about to start cooking, he felt even more depressed.

"Let's go outside and talk!"

I'm going to miss the preparation of the dishes when I go out to talk, don't you think it's depressing?
Without waiting for the chairman to ask further questions, Minister Jinjin immediately said depressingly: "This matter that was decided before may be cancelled!
Some people question that Xiao Chu has restored more than 500 old Sichuan dishes, thinking that this is a fantasy, even if I use Mr. Li's reputation to guarantee it.

The above means that we must see the real thing in these three days, otherwise we will cancel the plan we made this time, because we are worried that something will go wrong and make an international joke. "

This confirmed President Hou's conjecture, and made him feel less flustered. On the contrary, President Xiong asked in great perplexity: "Isn't the meeting already decided? How can it be cancelled?"

President Hou thought it was nothing, waved his hand and said: "It's settled down now, but if we report it to the leader and think it's inappropriate, isn't it normal to call back again?
But Minister, have you reported the specific situation on Xiao Chu's side? After all, they are getting married in two days. If they focus on cooking, how can they get married? "

"That's right, if that's the case, I might not be able to accept the marriage. Isn't this a joke?
Maybe Xiao Chu would just give up his job, which would give those people a headache! "

Chairman Xiong’s words immediately made Minister Jin dumbfounded: “The one who will have a headache then will be no one else, but me!

Aren't I the one who arranged things in the end?Although I know that Xiao Chu’s consciousness is not that low and he won’t give up, but if the superiors don’t agree, what else can I do?

And I have already said that the number of dishes made in the next few days and before has reached 54, which is already great evidence. Even if there are not more than 500 dishes, I think these 54 dishes are enough.

At worst, we don't have a buffet, just a normal banquet. Eighteen dishes a day for three days is enough. If it's not enough, let Xiao Chu add some other traditional Sichuan dishes. Isn't this still possible? "

This is not a problem, the two presidents nodded. Compared with the old Sichuan cuisine, the traditional Sichuan cuisine is more refined, and there are many dishes in the Chu Yunfeng Club.

But President Hou still felt that since he was going to do it, he should do it more completely. He mused: "The above is just for evidence. If you want to see the real thing.

Wait, isn’t it just to see the real thing? Just show it to them. Since Xiao Chu has restored all these dishes, he must have taken pictures and kept them!

Shouldn’t we just ask him for photos and send them to the top? "

"I'll go!" President Hou's words woke up the dreamer. Minister Jin immediately clapped his hands heavily, feeling a little regretful that he hadn't thought of it just now?
"Hahaha, Lao Hou Qian still has an idea. Didn't I take the photo just now? Since there is photo evidence, it means that Xiao Chu has indeed restored so many dishes.

So what are you waiting for? Go in and find him quickly. Maybe he has it on his phone. Let’s go, go, go, go, go.”

The three of them rushed into the back kitchen in one stride, and at this time they saw Chu Yunfeng instructing Guo Kui and Hu Yue to make pasta.

The two of them were beating the slender noodles with their hands, and it seemed that they were making a noodle dish called Zimian Youhua.

This noodle dish is also one of the dishes that Minister Jin is extremely interested in, because he has never heard the name of this dish, and he also found that there is no similar dish in any cuisine.

But now was not the best time to learn more about this dish. Minister Jin seemed particularly eager. The three of them formed a circle around Chu Yunfeng, which made him become suspicious while he was instructing the cooking.

Is there something wrong with my guidance?

As soon as Minister Jin opened his mouth, Chu Yunfeng knew that he was wrong, and he only heard him ask in a deep voice: "Xiao Chu, have you taken pictures of the dishes you restored before?"

At this moment, not only Minister Jin, but also the two presidents' hearts jumped into their throats. If this little ancestor hadn't saved a hand, this would have been worse.

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng's brows were gradually wrinkled, Minister Jin was almost suffocated. Could it be that he didn't take pictures?

"Uh~! I didn't take pictures. Every time I finish the restoration, I still have to restore the next dish. How can I have that free time!"

Chu Yunfeng's words were like dark clouds overwhelming the top, instantly making the three bosses extremely depressed, wanting to beat their feet and chests, Minister Jin's entire face darkened.
The President Hou also pointed at Chu Yunfeng with a look of resentment, and sighed heavily.

But no one expected that he would immediately go around and say, "I don't have time, but doesn't Mu Qing accompany me every time? The photos she took are all on her mobile phone!"

Good guy~!

Did Chu Yunfeng do this on purpose?
The three of them pointed at Chu Yunfeng at the same time, shaking their hands a few times, but they couldn't think of how to organize their words to complain.

"I go!"

President Hou immediately complained briefly and pulled Minister Jin away: "Hurry up, I know where Mu Qing's office is, let's go there right away."
