Chapter 1326 Squeezed Out

"Hey, Lao Jin, what a coincidence today is. Let's go. It's a rare day off. I'll treat you to breakfast!"

The person who came here was Minister Liu who was leading the assessment team today. It was decided at the last meeting that Minister Liu would take the lead, and all relevant departments would send a representative, which is why there is such a large scale.

With so many departments and departments, there are naturally more than 60 people in total, and Minister Jin is naturally very depressed.

"What's for breakfast? Do I have time here? Can't I quickly go to the kitchen and keep an eye on it so that I can wait for you to come with your team for inspection later?"

Hearing the teasing tone in Minister Jin's words, Minister Liu naturally smiled and explained: "Hey, are you still worried about this matter? What can I do? Didn't the leader call my name? , can I not agree?"

Looking at Minister Liu with an innocent look on his face, Minister Jin immediately hummed: "Don't you come here? I don't know what you are thinking. You agreed as soon as the leader said it. It seems that you don't believe me." Xiao Chu, what’s there to say?”

Now that the conversation has come to this point, Minister Liu naturally got straight to the point: "The leader's worries are not unnecessary. After all, he is still a young chef, and he has only been working as a chef for a state banquet for such a short time.

What's more important is that you are a Sichuan chef. Can you not make people question this?

This is nothing, but more than 500 old Sichuan dishes suddenly appeared. No one would dare to make an immediate decision, right?

Let me tell you, it’s just you, Lao Jin. If it were someone else, the leader might come in person, and he might even cancel your idea. "

What Minister Liu said is indeed the truth, and it's not that Minister Jin doesn't understand, but he still feels a little depressed. After all, he has personally inspected this, so don't you know if there is any problem?
After all, Sichuan cuisine was so brilliant in the past, and it is naturally a bumpy road to re-emerge now, but this time it will definitely impress everyone.

Especially today, Minister Jin felt helpless when he remembered that when he called the relevant departments yesterday, the other party was dubious. In the end, he couldn't implement it anymore, so he finally reported it to the leader.

After the leader heard the situation he reported, he also went to find out for the first time, and finally told himself that it was feasible, but the tone seemed a little unconvincing.

Well, since everyone has doubts, let's see the real chapter today.

However, for Lao Liu's rare words of sincerity, Minister Jin did not intend to dig a hole for him, but immediately reminded: "Okay, okay, I can treat you to dinner any day, but not today.

Don't get too close to me. If someone sees it, they will say that I greeted you in advance. If it affects the assessment, then I will say that you did it on purpose.

By the way, a friendly reminder, eat breakfast quickly. If it's late, I guess you won't be able to eat it! "

After the reminder, Minister Jin waved his hand to get out of the way, while Minister Liu stood there frowning, some of whom didn't understand what the words meant.

"Uh, Lao Jin, what do you mean by this? Can you please explain it clearly?"

Have an early breakfast?

This is because I am worried that if I eat late, it will be affected when I evaluate the dishes later. No matter how delicious food is eaten when the stomach is full, it is probably not delicious. Is that what he meant?

Haha, this Lao Jin is really "careful", isn't he?
After "misunderstanding" Minister Jin's words, Minister Liu had a little bit of rebellious psychology. Since you asked me to eat early, I would like to eat a little later in the evening.

Go for a walk in the community first, exercise at the fitness equipment first, and then go to have breakfast. It’s still early anyway, and I usually eat later than this time.

I don’t know whether Minister Liu listened to his own advice, but Minister Jin naturally understood. After leaving the house, he ate breakfast quickly, then immediately took a taxi and headed towards the kitchen.

Only five minutes after getting on the bus, I heard the driver in front of me suddenly said curiously: "Hey, which restaurant is making delicious food here? Why does it taste so good?"

fragrant?
Minister Jin immediately became alert, and immediately smelled a strange fragrance. The smell of this fragrance is very vague, but it is at the tip of your nose to seduce your taste buds.

And the driver brother continued to be very curious: "This smell is too strange, I can't think of what kind of food it is, I haven't smelled such a good smell in the capital for decades, Do you know where this comes from?"

Where did you come from?
Minister Jin has no doubts that this is the scent made by Chu Yunfeng. The driver brother is right, not to mention him, but he has never smelled such a good scent in the past few decades.

And this location is at least three kilometers away from the back kitchen. It seems that the aroma is wafting away quite quickly. This is just the beginning. When it is the most intense later, will the capital city be completely covered by this aroma? Woolen cloth?

Facing the driver's question, Minister Jin laughed and said, "I heard that a state banquet chef is cooking a great Sichuan dish today. This should be the fragrance of that dish."

The drivers in Beijing are all very talkative. After hearing such a secret, they immediately became excited: "Hey, the chef of the state banquet, this is not an ordinary person.

Is this a royal dish? I guess only the dishes eaten by emperors in the past could have such a delicious flavor, right?What kind of dish is this? "

Court food?
Minister Jin laughed secretly, and when Zhang Xinran's report came out later, many people's jaws would drop in shock.

But you can try the driver's reaction first. Minister Jin immediately replied with a smile: "This is not a palace dish, but a Sichuan dish, a very famous Sichuan dish."

"What, Sichuan food?"

The voice of the driver's elder brother was sharp, revealing a deep doubt. Through the rearview mirror, it was obvious that the driver's elder brother was frowning tightly, as if he felt that Minister Jin was joking with him.

"No, I haven't heard that Sichuan food can produce such a fragrance. The smell smells very soft to me. It must be because I didn't add any chili pepper.

Hey, to tell you the truth, I am very sensitive to chili peppers. As long as there is a tiny bit of chili pepper in this dish, I can smell it.

This dish is definitely not Sichuan food, you are kidding me! "

For the driver who was extremely confident in his nose, Minister Jin smiled and said nothing. He closed his eyes and began to experience the fragrance beautifully.

Sure enough, as Chu Yunfeng said, this taste is simply too fragrant, and it has a feeling of tantalizing appetite. Even if I have eaten breakfast just now, there is a silent impulse in my heart, wanting to find it The source of this aroma.

As the vehicle gets closer and closer to the kitchen, the fragrance becomes more and more intense. Especially when looking towards the kitchen, you can already see that the sky over there is much "misty".

The power of this fragrance also began to gradually emerge. The driver's brows seemed to be getting tighter and tighter. Minister Jin could vaguely hear his stomach growling from time to time.

This eldest brother probably hasn't had breakfast yet, right?
Sure enough, when it was about to get off at the drop-off point, the driver brother couldn't help but said: "Oh, I can't stand it anymore, the scent is too strong, right?

After I deliver you, I have to find the source of this fragrance and see which restaurant made it so fragrant. Maybe it’s some special delicacy. Go buy one quickly to avoid queuing up later. too long. "

Minister Jin, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't stop laughing secretly. It seems that the driver brother probably didn't believe what he said. That's right. He must have thought that he was joking with him when he told him that the Sichuan cuisine chef made the noise.

After getting off the car and just closing the door, the driver immediately stepped on the accelerator and started to wander around.
Just before Minister Jin entered the kitchen area, the master chefs on duty today also began to report. Today this weekend, there were not many people on duty, only six masters.

Everyone made an appointment to come together. Yesterday, they were very interested in all the ingredients Chu Yunfeng was handling. Naturally, everyone agreed to come over early in the morning to take a look.

Especially the internal notice issued yesterday, saying that there was a lot of noise in cooking today. If there is an unknown aroma, don't panic, don't be chaotic, and keep good order.

Especially security issues.
This series of arrangements made everyone even more curious about what kind of dishes they were going to make, and it was so exciting, so when the six of them came, they found that they were not the only ones who were curious.

Even people who were not on duty came here. It seemed that everyone also paid great attention to the youngest chef in the back kitchen, and no one was not curious about the dishes he was going to cook today.

"Haha, Lao Su, aren't you on vacation? Why are you here too?"

"Look at who is not here today? Aren't all the big guys here? Can they sit here at home?"

Haha~!

Everyone was happy. Just when everyone was laughing, they suddenly saw Master Feng running over from the dormitory building in a hurry, and he was immediately stopped by everyone.

"Hey, Lao Feng, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"That's right. Seeing you like this, you can't get up late, can you oversleep?"

"Wait a minute, what time did Xiao Chu leave last night? Did he work all night?"

A group of people surrounded him, which made Master Feng very depressed, and the expression on his face became more urgent: "Okay, okay, don't block me, I've overslept, I have to go quickly Check out the kitchen!"

Master Feng didn't sleep well at all last night. He was always worried about Chu Yunfeng's cooking today, and couldn't fall asleep repeatedly thinking about things.

Even when I fell asleep, I dreamed frequently, and woke up after a while, so after tossing back and forth, I managed to sleep for a while after five o'clock.

I was so deep in sleep that I didn't even hear the alarm clock ring. When I woke up and looked at the time, I immediately put on my clothes and ran over.

Just when everyone was about to tease Master Feng again, suddenly Master Su pointed to the roof of the back kitchen and asked in surprise: "Look, what is that?"

At this time, thick white smoke began to emit from the roof, like a wild horse running wild, feeling like it was soaring into the sky, which made everyone stunned for a moment.

This is the credit of the exhaust fan, which instantly pulled out the "vortex" on the roof of the back kitchen, which is why it has such an effect of soaring into the sky.

Just as everyone was looking in the direction of Master Su's finger, Master Liu suddenly exclaimed: "It smells so good, this smells so good!"

hiss~!

Everyone also smelled a very special aroma for the first time. This aroma gave people a very gentle feeling, and for those who usually like to drink, it seemed to have an irresistible temptation.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look!"

"There's really some movement here. It looks like it's going to be lively inside, right?"

"This smells good. Let me taste it when it's ready!"

Master Feng didn't hesitate at all, he rushed over as soon as he saw the smoke, and the others reacted a few beats slower, but they also rushed in in a swarm.

"Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu, where are you?"

As soon as he rushed in, Master Feng began to look around for Chu Yunfeng's figure, but at the moment, the back kitchen was filled with smoke, and the visibility was not very high. He could vaguely see a figure swaying over the stove, but he dared not It was definitely Chu Yunfeng.

"Here you are, Master Feng?"

Sure enough, there was a response from the stove. Master Feng said hello as he passed Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu without saying a word, and then dove into the smoke.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Perhaps because he was running too fast, when Master Feng rushed to Chu Yunfeng's side, he suddenly took two breaths and was choked.

Although the aroma smells very good, the richness is not low. Master Feng experienced the feeling of inhaling the rich aroma, and his whole lungs were almost filled with fragrance.

For the first time, people felt that too much fragrance would make people uncomfortable. Master Feng felt that he was going to be fragrant, and then took a few steps back.

"Sorry, ahem, I'm late, ahem, how can I help?"

Before Chu Yunfeng had time to respond to Master Feng, he heard a series of surprised sounds coming from the door.

"Oh my god, what is going on? Why can't you see clearly?"

"No, has the kitchen turned into a fairyland? I can't even see my own pot?"

"Good guy, the smoke in here is quite big. Is that jar the main dish today? Isn't this movement really ordinary?"

Just when the masters were feeling emotional, a girl's voice came from behind: "I'm sorry, please make room, let's go in!"

The master chefs were all blocking the door, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar kitchen in a daze, but Zhang Xinran and the photographer were blocked outside, so he quickly reminded him.

"Hey, isn't this reporter Zhang from the main station?"

"Oh, there is a special full report today?"

"You haven't turned on the camera yet. Wait for me to change clothes first. Don't be busy taking pictures!"

What's happening here?
The master chefs all became excited, which surprised both Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu. The voice saying that he wanted to change his clothes belonged to Lao Su. I really thought he was here to interview him. ?

"Why are you here? Are there so many people on duty today? Everyone give way, let Reporter Zhang and the others come in! Today I will do a live broadcast for Xiao Chu."

As soon as Minister Wang spoke, none of the masters were talking. They suddenly realized that this was specially for Chu Yunfeng, so when everyone looked at Master Su again, they all laughed together.

After Zhang Xinran came in, she began to communicate with Chu Yunfeng. Both of them thought that it was a little early to broadcast it directly, and the scent had not changed substantially, so it would be better to broadcast it a little later.

However, as everyone stayed in the kitchen for a longer time, they gradually discovered a problem, that is, as time went by, the fragrance became stronger and stronger.

Although the exhaust fan was working, it was indeed able to draw out a lot of white smoke at the beginning, but later more and more smoke came out of the wine jar, and it could no longer be discharged at all.

A large amount of white smoke made the back kitchen look like a fairyland, and it also brought great trouble to Chu Yunfeng, because the visibility began to decrease
Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu were also aware of the problem, but they were undecided for a while. Fortunately, Minister Jin just called and said that he would be arriving soon, let's talk about it when he arrives.

When Minister Jin walked to the kitchen, Chu Yunfeng had already opened the wine jar and took out the ingredients.

Then the filtered soup was poured back into the jar, and the pork belly, pork knuckles, chicken shanks, and duck thighs that had been fished out were put in again.

Finally, I threw in all the scallops, ham slices, big golden hooks and shiitake mushrooms, then sealed the lotus leaf again, and put the lid back on.

Adjust the heat to medium-low and let it continue to simmer slowly.

After the altar was opened this time, another puff of thick smoke shot up into the sky, and everyone was almost tormented by the aroma. Two master masters ran to the door, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

After Minister Jin came in, the aroma of scallops, ham slices, golden hooks and shiitake mushrooms in the wine jar increased the intensity of the aroma, making it even more unbearable for the master chefs.

So as soon as the front foot stepped in, it was immediately squeezed out by these masters.
