Chapter 425 Core Secrets
The dish that came first was a regular version of Kung Pao Chicken, which immediately aroused Chu Yunfeng's interest as soon as it was served.

First of all, the appearance is different from what I do at first glance.

In traditional Kung Pao Chicken, the peanuts are not peeled, but in this dish made here in Beijing, all the peanuts are peeled off.

Not only that, the color is also a bit brighter than what I made myself.

Traditional chefs, especially the new generation, will not deliberately pursue to deepen the color of this dish when cooking this dish.

So although this dish is very classic and can be seen everywhere, its preparation and style have indeed changed a lot.

"Kung Pao Chicken, this is the most classic dish in our Emei Restaurant, please try it."

The waiter who delivered the food was another person. After giving the name of the dish, he suddenly realized that the diners looked familiar, right?

Where did you see it?
"Come on, have a taste. I know your craftsmanship is extraordinary, but the food made here is probably comparable to what you make!"

Peng Yue picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, showing a look of enjoyment.

"This dish conquered many celebrities back then. It is said that Master Qi Baishi even painted a painting for Emei Restaurant for this dish."

Chu Yunfeng had done a lot of homework and learned a lot about the development history of Emei Hotel.

After finishing reading, the piece of chicken leg meat on the chopsticks was quickly put into his mouth, and the sweet taste of lychee came out the moment he entered it.

Then it slowly turned into a mellow salty taste, and the last aftertaste was slightly spicy.

This was how Chu Yunfeng felt about the taste. He nodded and continued to feel the taste of the chicken legs.

Bullshit~!

The taste is smooth and tender~!

It seems that the selection of materials was really well done!
Chu Yunfeng continued to nod, and then used chopsticks to dig through the plate, mainly looking at all the diced chicken legs on the plate, and then nodded thoughtfully.

"What did you find?" Peng Yue asked curiously as he watched Chu Yunfeng pick up vegetables with chopsticks.

This grilling was actually a very impolite behavior, but Peng Yue knew that Chu Yunfeng would not do it without purpose. He must have his intention, but he couldn't guess it.

"I did find something, but I won't tell you!"

Chu Yunfeng tried the peanuts and green onions again, and nodded solemnly. Now he finally understood why this dish has been so popular for so long.

"I'll go, who of us is following who? Tell me quickly. To be honest, although I can also cook this dish, no matter how I cook it, the final taste is always quite different from theirs.

But this is their core secret. If you look at the people who come to eat in the restaurant, you will know that 90% of them must order this dish. "

Peng Yue put down the chopsticks in his hand and shook his head, feeling very envious in his heart.

Shandong cuisine restaurants also make this dish, but as for the taste, it’s really hard to say anything about it after eating it here.

"Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it. You already said it's someone else's core secret. If I were to expose it, wouldn't it ruin someone else's brand?"

Chu Yunfeng shook his head. He really couldn't talk about this matter, although the key points were just those few places. It was like a layer of window paper that could be broken with just one poke.

But as long as you don't tell yourself, no matter how hard Peng Yue or others study, they won't understand.

"Hey, that's quite impressive. You can know the core secret of this dish after just two bites. Isn't that a little bit off-putting?"

A chef wearing a high hat appeared at the door, walking in with a plate of dishes in his hand.

"Monkey, what are you talking about?

Come, let me introduce you. This is Chu Yunfeng, who comes from Rongcheng and is also a chef.

This is Sun Dasheng, nicknamed Monkey, and he is the chef of this restaurant. Come sit down and let’s get to know each other. "

The person who came here is thin and looks to be in the same grade as Peng Yue and Chu Yunfeng. Judging from the name, this nickname is indeed not bad.

"Don't worry, I heard everything just now. I just want to ask a question. Is this your first time eating this dish?"

Sun Dasheng didn't seem to approve of Peng Yue's "reconciliation". Instead, he casually "thrown" the premium version of Kung Pao Chicken on the table and said somewhat provocatively.

This dish in this store is the treasure of the store, and it must be maintained with honor.

Unexpectedly, this chef who came from nowhere would say that he had mastered the core secrets of this dish. This tone made me unable to accept it at all.

Do you want to know how hard it is to learn this dish?
It took half a year of practice just to peel peanuts, let alone fry them.

In the past two years, I have eaten countless servings of Kung Pao Chicken that I have made, and I almost vomited myself to achieve today's results.

This kind of effort is just acceptable in the eyes of the master. Now when I hear Chu Yunfeng's words, I feel like he is coming to provoke me.

"This is indeed the first time. The food is very good. It is indeed the most popular dish of this restaurant."

Chu Yunfeng's words were full of respect, expressed vividly, and said with a smile, because Chu Yunfeng did learn a lot from them.

I also found a very key place where I can further improve the dishes.

This compliment comes completely out of nowhere!
But in Sun Dasheng's ears, what he heard was like ridicule. It was already confirmed that this person was trying this dish for the first time. Once this was confirmed, Sun Dasheng's psychology changed a lot.

Are you kidding me?
Can you learn the core secret of this treasure from the first time you eat it?
I won’t believe it even to death!

I don’t know how many gourmets, gourmet experts and chefs have tasted this dish, but no one can claim to know the secret or even the core secret.

This person who is similar to me dares to say such big words for the first time. It is simply something that my uncle can tolerate, but my aunt cannot!
"Sorry, I want to tell you today. What are the core secrets of our dish?"

Sun Dasheng pulled out the chair, sat down smoothly, pushed up the flesh on both sides of his mouth, and looked at Chu Yunfeng competitively, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

"Monkey, it's over. Let me tell you, Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills are very good. Don't look for trouble!"

Peng Yue felt a little depressed. This monkey had been playing with him until he grew up. This guy was good at everything, but he was just a bit stubborn.

Since Chu Yunfeng was able to be dragged into the "plan" by President Hou, it means that his cooking skills are definitely passable, even extraordinary.

I booked this private room today because I wanted to test it out. I wanted to see how much Chu Yunfeng knew about this plan.

This time, the best among the younger generation have almost been determined. It is said that in the next step, dedicated personnel will be trained to face the sudden challenges.

However, this damn monkey seems to have a chance to get a glimpse of Chu Yunfeng's hidden strength by making such a fuss. I wonder if Chu Yunfeng will pay attention to the monkey's "provocation".
