Chapter 1321 Unspoken
"Then what, the minister really agreed?"

"What you just said is true. Is the movement really that big?"

Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu were naturally shocked by the phone call just now. Minister Jin's intention was to let nature take its course and make a big deal, even if there was not much movement.

President Hou chuckled, even with a hint of excitement: "That's not true, the minister is also holding a breath in his heart, don't think I'm joking, you will know the power of this dish tomorrow.

By the way, in the kitchen, please say hello in advance and ask everyone to pay attention, especially the guards at the door, and send more people tomorrow.

That's it for now. I still need to contact the main station. It would be most appropriate for Zhang Xinran to come over for this matter. I will send the information to you guys later and approve the pass. "

After saying that, President Hou walked away directly, leaving Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu stunned, as if they still couldn't believe it.

After pondering for a long time, Minister Wang slowly asked: "To be honest, do you think this dish is really as good as Lao Hou said?"

uh~?

Section Chief Yu did not answer immediately, but frowned, and after careful consideration, he replied: "It must be very powerful, otherwise why did Minister Jin agree?

It's not a simple thing for him to go out and say hello to the relevant departments. The other party will definitely take it seriously, so President Hou doesn't dare to joke about it. "

Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can verify it from the side. When Minister Wang thinks that Minister Wang is as mature as Minister Jin, there is probably no suspense about this matter.

Whoo~!

"Okay, let's hurry up and send a notice before getting off work so that everyone can calm down after smelling the aroma tomorrow. Just say that the kitchen is developing the dishes so that everyone doesn't have to look around.

Anyway, it's up to you to decide on the wording. This matter must be implemented well. By the way, there are also doormen. Make arrangements for the shift tomorrow. We must have more manpower. I'm worried that this movement may be bigger than we imagined. "

Minister Wang suddenly became worried for no reason, which suddenly increased the psychological burden on Section Chief Yu. If this commotion really gets bigger, can this place be able to withstand it?

The worries of the two of them were not unnecessary at all. At this time, Chu Yunfeng had already begun to ask Master Feng in order to increase his "chips."

"Master Feng, where is the most famous mountain spring water in the capital? Do you have any spare in the kitchen?"

Listen, mountain spring water. Chu Yunfeng used the mountain spring water from Qingcheng Mountain when he was making jar meat in Rongcheng. The quality of the water is incredible, the mineral content is very rich, and the natural taste is quite extraordinary.

Master Feng seemed to know a lot about mountain spring water, and he immediately replied with a smile: "You definitely asked the right person about this matter. There are a lot of mountain spring water in this capital.

However, there are no water points in some places. No matter how good the water quality is, you can't get it. The fountain of youth is where most people usually go to get water.

This is at the foot of Dingdu Peak, in Aiwa Village, Yongding Town. The water quality of this spring is quite good. In addition, there are several famous mountain springs in Changping.

But these are not the best. The best mountain spring water should be the mountain spring water belonging to Yuquan Mountain. It is located at the eastern foot of Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs of Beijing. This spring water is really good. "

Jade spring water?
This was the first time Chu Yunfeng heard the name of this spring, so he immediately asked: "What a good method, what's the origin?"

Speaking of where he came from, Master Feng looked very proud, and it was obvious that he knew more: "You have asked the right person. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this spring was the source of water for the palace.

And it is said that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong conducted an experiment specifically to verify the quality of this spring water. "

experiment?

Chu Yunfeng paused slightly while handling the ingredients, and turned to look at Master Feng with interest. He was obviously very interested.

Master Feng nodded with satisfaction and continued with a smile: "Emperor Qianlong specially ordered the eunuch to make a special silver measuring bucket to weigh the famous spring water samples sent to Beijing from all over the country.

The final result is that the Jade Spring water in the capital weighs one tael per silver bucket, the Pearl Spring water in Jinan weighs one tael, and the Zhongzhi spring water weighs one tael or three taels.

After the results came out, the water from Yuquan in the capital was naturally the lightest, so Emperor Qianlong personally commented that the water quality should be light. Yuquan contains less "impurities", so the water is light and of good quality.

Although according to current scientific methods, this statement may not be correct, but at that time Jingkou Yuyan naturally rated this jade spring water as "the best spring in the world". "

Chu Yunfeng nodded. Regardless of whether Emperor Qianlong was scientific or not, at least the spring water could be within the scope of imperial use, so it would not be bad, so he immediately asked: "Do we have this spring water in the kitchen?"

"Yo, this water needs to be reported in advance, or you can ask Section Chief Yu, I think there should be no problem!"

As soon as Master Feng finished speaking, Chu Yunfeng picked up a tissue and began to wipe his hands. Just as Minister Wang was about to separate from Section Chief Yu, the phone rang.

"I'll answer Xiaochu's call first!"

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's call, Minister Wang left without rushing, and Section Chief Yu's doubtful voice immediately rang out: "What, do you want the spring water from Yuquan Mountain?

Do you want it now?Maybe it's too late?
Oh, tomorrow morning, right? That shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll help you get a batch back as much as you want.

Okay, okay, don't worry, leave this matter to me. "

After hanging up the phone, Minister Wang asked doubtfully: "He wants to use Yuquan water to cook, isn't he going to make that jar of meat?"

Section Chief Yu nodded attentively and said: "Yes, just making that pot of meat. It seems that Xiao Chu is really "careful" about it."

Minister Wang took a deep breath, patted Chief Yu on the shoulder, then took a deep breath and hurried upstairs.
"Old Feng, it's time to get off work, let's go first!"

"Hey, old Feng, are you going to spend the night with Xiao Chu?"

"Xiao Chu is in good spirits. I'll go back and have a good rest first, and then come back tomorrow to watch the fun!"

It was already 08:30 in the evening, and the master chefs who had completed their tasks began to get off work one after another. After passing the broth that was still being brewed, Master Feng, who had been staring at him for fear that something might go wrong, rushed to say hello.

"It's okay, it's okay, you guys go first, I'll wait for Xiao Chu!"

Master Feng said goodbye to everyone with a smile. Although everyone was curious about why Master Feng didn't help Chu Yunfeng with the ingredients, they still roughly guessed it.

Calculating the time for this soup, it should be almost time. Chu Yunfeng has already cleaned the minced meat twice, once with pork minced, and once with chicken minced. At this time, you can already see that the color of the soup is brown and clear, and he is cooking on low heat. The final brewing.

Whoo~!

Chu Yunfeng also let out a long breath. Today he went all out. The ingredients for the 66 dishes have basically been processed in advance.

After confirming the ingredients again, Chu Yunfeng nodded, kept all the ingredients properly, and then started to wash his hands.

"Master Feng, it's all done. You should get off work as soon as possible. The soup can be turned off as it's already cooked."

Chu Yunfeng walked over and took a look at the color of the soup. He nodded and was very satisfied. He also knew that Master Feng was worried, so he gave him reassurance.

"Okay, if you have anything to do, just leave. I'll stay in the dormitory here tonight and watch you cook tomorrow morning!"

Master Feng, who was still a little uneasy, didn't even want to go back home. After waving his hands to Chu Yunfeng, he went to see the ingredients that Chu Yunfeng had prepared.

Chu Yunfeng also knew that persuasion was useless, so after saying hello to Master Feng, he walked out of the kitchen.

hiss~!

It was almost winter in the capital and it was still a bit cold at night. As soon as Chu Yunfeng came out, a small cold wind blew, and he quickly put his hands to his mouth and blew a breath.

cuckoo
I'm also a little hungry. It's still relatively early now, so I have to go to Wanjia Cuisine. It's said that there are quite a lot of dishes prepared tonight.

Zhao Tianhao called him several times to ask when he had arrived, so Chu Yunfeng sent him a text message telling him that he would be there soon.

When I was processing ingredients in the back kitchen before, I was so busy that I didn't even have time to eat work meals. After this, I can not only fill my stomach, but also have another very important thing to witness.

I don’t know if Mr. Li and Mr. Wan have started?

Chu Yunfeng smiled and shook his head, stopped a taxi on the street, and started heading towards Wanjiacai.

Since Mr. Li came to Wanjiacai, he met his three old friends Qi Luozhou, Xiang Shuhua and Chai Weihong for the first time. Among the three masters, Xiang Shuhua's health was obviously much worse, because his face There is no blood.

However, we had not seen each other for many years, so everyone was naturally very happy to see each other. This made Master Xiang Shuhua's face become rosier, which made everyone feel very happy.

"Old man Li, I heard that you have taken in an apprentice, isn't this little guy's achievement not small?"

Qi Luozhou had long hair. If he hadn't known that he was a chef, he would have been considered an artist. He immediately asked Mr. Li for confirmation.

Before Mr. Li could reply, Master Chai Weihong turned the "sloppy" hat on his head with his hand, and immediately added: "You little old man is quite good at playing, Lin Lao Are you still concerned about your abilities?"

This "sloppy" is actually a hood. The old people in Beijing used to like to wear it every winter. It has a history of hundreds of years.

Master Xiang Shuhua naturally would not miss the opportunity to tease Mr. Li. Although his voice was a little weak, he said with a smile: "You don't want to think about who Mr. Li is?

Among the people in the capital back then, he was the most versatile, so there was nothing he couldn't think of. Isn't it still like this after so many years? "

Haha~!

The non-stop teasing by the three masters naturally made Wan Lao laugh together. It was rare to be reunited after so many years, and it was really unjustifiable not to tease Mr. Li.

And Mr. Li is naturally a restless master, so how could he not fight back?

Therefore, when faced with the teasing of the three people, he was not angry at all. He snorted softly and said: "You three old guys are in good spirits, but you still have the intention to tease me?

This Xiao Chu has never performed the apprenticeship ceremony. Don't talk nonsense and tarnish my wisdom in this life.

But seeing that you care so much, is it because Xiao Chu is so good that your disciples can’t compare to him? Are you jealous? "

Mr. Li's words are naturally quite sharp. Although Chu Yunfeng has not officially become a disciple, who among you doesn't know the "tricks" involved?

Although he does not have the name of master and apprentice, he is actually a master and apprentice. However, Chu Yunfeng is extremely talented, and he only learns cooking by watching. Mr. Li never teaches him step by step.

So if you insist on saying that Mr. Li is not guaranteed, you will definitely be scolded in the face, but how can such an apprentice not be envied?
So everyone envied Old Man Li for being so lucky to meet such a talented "disciple" like Chu Yunfeng.

After being retorted by Mr. Li, the three masters naturally refused to be outdone and began to joke about Mr. Li's past. This topic made everyone endless.

So this afternoon was spent happily drinking tea and chatting happily. However, later President Hou reported to Mr. Li that Chu Yunfeng might not be able to come, which made the three masters and Wan Lao secretly guess. stand up.

Isn't this Old Man Li trying to get something?
Although they had been meeting for a long time, everyone had a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned the cooperation right away. Naturally, it was not too late to mention it after three drinks in the evening.

But tonight, this matter must be implemented and put in black and white. Anyway, there will be some debate.

During this period, Wan Lao naturally winked at Zhao Tianhao frequently, just to let him know when Chu Yunfeng would arrive, but Zhao Tianhao could not call Chu Yunfeng so frequently.

So I would only contact Chu Yunfeng every one or two hours, and sometimes it would even take three hours before I asked when Chu Yunfeng was coming.

After Wan Lao learned that Chu Yunfeng was indeed busy with something, and that he was in the kitchen at the state banquet, he dispelled his doubts about Mr. Li playing hard to get, and secretly shared the information with the other three masters.

Guessing that Chu Yunfeng would come over late, several old men also deliberately delayed the serving time, which puzzled everyone in the kitchen.

When everyone asked Zhao Tianhao that it was so dark today, why didn't these seniors announce the opening of the banquet?

Zhao Tianhao said with admiration: "What do you know? Brother Chu hasn't come yet. You are waiting for Brother Chu. Let's see how much face our Brother Chu has. If it were anyone else, would these seniors need to wait like this? "

hiss~!

These words immediately made a group of young people in the kitchen start to admire him. Chu Yunfeng showed off his skills in the kitchen when he came back, and everyone is amazed by him to this day.

But no matter how late it was, it couldn't be too late. As soon as eight o'clock arrived, Wan Lao ordered Zhao Tianhao and the others to start serving food.

The messy table of melon and fruit peels was quickly cleared away, and then the exquisite Wanjia dishes began to be served.

The food was served, but Qi Luozhou took a quick glance, randomly shook his artistic long hair, and asked doubtfully: "Where's the wine? What should we drink tonight?"

Yes, how can good food not be paired with good wine?
Master Chai Weihong naturally stared at Wan Lao, wanting to see what the old man Wan was up to.

Only Mr. Li was relatively calm, guessing a little bit in his heart, picked up the teacup on the table and took another sip leisurely.

"Why are you in a hurry? My friends are here today, so of course I will entertain you with good wine. Can I let the kitchen serve ordinary wine?"

Master Qi Luozhou immediately understood and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, I know you, an old man, like to hide good things in your room. Go get it quickly. What are you waiting for?"

These words immediately made Chai Weihong and Master Xiang Shuhua laugh. They were obviously teasing Wan Lao for being a miser, but Wan Lao didn't care. He shook his head and smiled and turned around and walked into the house, apparently to get wine.

Sure enough, when Wan Laoyi came out, Mr. Li almost laughed when he saw the packaging of the wine. Isn't this the wine Chu Yunfeng gave him before?
At that time, I accidentally opened a bottle, which made this old man feel distressed for a long time. However, this old guy was very generous and was willing to use this wine to entertain everyone.

But as soon as the package of the wine was opened, the faces of the other three masters immediately turned gloomy.
