Chapter 679 Can you cook or eat?
Chu Yunfeng was shocked after knowing the steps. It seemed that there was something wrong with what Master Lin and the three of them did. They were wrong from the first step.

The blanching of the cow head needs to be done three times, which means that three stoves need to be placed at one time to ensure its continuity and prevent the cow head from getting cold after being taken out of the pot.

So Chu Yunfeng became a little confused again, maybe the method he knew should be the most perfect.

Only in this way can we effectively remove the fishy smell of beef head and achieve the most perfect effect of the ingredients.

Seeing Master Lin and the others putting the cow head into the pot and adding ginger, green onions, white wine and other ingredients to remove the fishy smell, Mr. Liu and Mr. Ji nodded.

"It's rare. You still maintain the oldest method, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Not bad, not bad!"

Mr. Liu first praised him and expressed his admiration for this approach.

"It's true. In the later stage of this dish, some chefs directly burned the beef scalp and then removed it after scraping it for convenience.

In this way, blanching not only saves labor and labor, but also saves blanching time. "

Master Ji also began to praise this approach. In today's impetuous environment, there are really too few chefs who can still be so persistent.

"The old man was so impressed. This is how my master did it back then. So we will cook how this cooking skill has been passed down. We don't dare to change it at will."

Master Lin's words showed that he was a person who insisted on tradition, and Chu Yunfeng felt deeply about it. Especially the pot that only fried Kung Pao Chicken left a deep impression on him.

It takes more than 2 hours to blanch the water. Master Lin and the other two dare not leave the stove because they need to constantly knock off the floating blood foam.

So now Chu Yunfeng, Mu Qing and Chu Yue were chatting, drinking tea and eating melon seeds with the two elders.
After a while, the doorbell rang.

After Master Lin's wife went to open the door, a cheerful voice came from far away. After hearing this voice, Master Lin's brows instantly frowned.

"Chef Lin, I brought the ingredients to you, just in time. Didn't I delay your business?"

The visitor is the manager of Qingfengju in Beijing. Qingfengju specializes in braised duck. Although it is not a time-honored brand that has been passed down for a hundred years, it has been in business for decades.

Therefore, the domestic ducks they used were of very high quality, and the monkeys really had no choice but to get two from here.

But what the monkey didn't expect was that he would be tricked into saying something in just a few sentences, and the whereabouts of the two masters would be accidentally exposed.
"Manager Zhou, I haven't seen you for a while. I would like to trouble you to go there in person. I feel a little sorry!"

Master Lin knew the purpose of Manager Zhou's visit. He probably wanted to find out what kind of dishes he was studying. Otherwise, why would he come with him in person?

However, what he didn't expect was that the main reason was the monkey's "contribution".

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. I want to improve the dishes and introduce new ones. Naturally, I bought a lot of fresh and rare ingredients from the market.

Such a move naturally attracted the attention of the catering industry. The competition in catering in Beijing is so great that everyone is watching each other's moves.

If there is a slight disturbance, everyone will be nervous. After all, if your business is doing better, relatively speaking, your own business will definitely be affected to some extent.

But sometimes, everyone can still cooperate, so Manager Zhou finally found the opportunity, how could he let it go so easily?
Master Lin came up with a smile on his face, but he was a little depressed in his heart. This careless move actually exposed his plan early.

I was really impatient just now and asked Monkey to handle the matter as quickly as possible, forgetting to remind him of the importance of confidentiality.

But what I least expected is that the managers of these restaurants are really highly professional and very thick-skinned.

"Haha~! It's not in the way, it's not in the way, your brother's business is my business, who among us is following whom?

By the way, what kind of food is this cooking?It looks like the battle is not small, isn’t it? "

As soon as Manager Zhou came in, he was attracted by the three large stoves in the yard. There were huge steel buckets on them. What seemed to be cooking?
Sure enough, there is something going on. It seems that today is not in vain. We must find out soon to see what big move Chef Lin is holding back.

After looking at it with the corner of my eye, I saw there was not just one master, but two!
Unexpectedly, there is an unexpected surprise. It seems that today is the right day.

So Manager Zhou pretended to go forward to see what Master Lin was cooking, just to attract the attention of the two masters.

"Xiao Zhou, why do you have time to come here today? Aren't you usually very busy in the store?"

Just as Manager Zhou took a few steps, Mr. Liu's voice rang out.

As soon as Manager Zhou heard this voice, he immediately stopped, turned his head suddenly, pretended to show a super incredible look, and instantly smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, hello, Mr. Ji!"

Manager Zhou quickly stepped forward to shake hands with the two masters. At this time, there was no need to be reserved, showing more face was the most important thing!
"Master Lin wants a good male duck. I think he is in a hurry, so he personally delivered it to see if there is nothing he can do to help."

Manager Zhou is worthy of being a veteran. He said this without blushing, as if he was just here to help Master Lin.

Who is Mr. Liu? How could he not know his true thoughts? It’s just a gift of ingredients. Why do you need to come in person?

So he nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I wanted this male duck, and it was delivered in time. Thank you for your hard work. If it's okay, you can go back."

"No, are you going to show off your skills? Give me a chance to watch and learn. It would be a pity if you miss this kind of thing."

After Manager Zhou finished speaking, he hurriedly came to Mr. Liu's side, and stood aside respectfully. It seemed that he was determined to stay here, and he couldn't drive him away even if he wanted to.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you getting more and more shameless?"

Master Ji saw this scene and jokingly said that since he couldn't drive him away, he had to let him stay.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell continued to ring.
"Old Lin, I have sent you a wild duck. Let me tell you, your demands are really high. You must have this type of duck.

Let me tell you, apart from me, there is no other place in the whole capital where you can get such quality products. You must know that this is a specialty product.
Old Liu?
Season old?
"

Manager Zhao, who was familiar with him as soon as he walked in, had just held Master Lin's hand when he saw the two elders sitting there and Manager Zhou "standing" beside him.

As the manager of a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, he naturally had the same plan as Manager Zhou, but he didn't expect that someone would get in first.

The subsequent ending was the same as that of Manager Zhou. Mr. Liu had another "guard" beside him.

Manager Shen, who was delivering the pigeons, came next. As soon as he entered the door, he yelled to bring good things to Master Lin, but when he found out that it was Mr. Liu and Mr. Ji, his expressions and actions were exactly the same as those of the first two.
Then the managers of more than a dozen restaurants came one after another. They all gave similar excuses. The quality monkey demanded was not available in the store, but after a few words, they all tried their best to get one.

Originally, Master Lin could have turned away these guys who came to "join in the fun", but Mr. Liu kept all the people who came.

The purpose of this is not yet clear to these managers, but I figured it out.

It seems that Mr. Liu is preparing to pave the way for Chu Yunfeng, especially since Mr. Liu hinted to everyone that he will show off his cooking skills with Mr. Ji here today.

This group of people was so excited that they quickly took out their mobile phones and secretly sent messages to their friends, asking them to come over and participate in this grand event.

This is a more reserved approach. Some impatient people immediately took out their mobile phones and started dialing. After the other party heard the news, they hung up the phone without even saying goodbye or thank you.

He must have rushed over immediately. I wonder if he lost his shoes?

Just kidding, who is Mr. Liu?
He is the most skilled person in the state banquet team, and he is the only one who is good at two cuisines. It is very difficult to meet him in normal times.

Not to mention being able to watch his old man cooking live, which is definitely something to brag about at the wine table.

What's more, Master Ji is also here. These two are the mainstays of the state banquet team. As long as we have a good relationship with them, it will definitely have unlimited benefits for our restaurant.

Invite you to taste a dish from your restaurant?
Or maybe ask a master to give some advice on the kitchen?
These are full of charm. As long as this thing is exposed to the public, it will be very attractive to diners.

If you take a photo with the master and hang it directly at the entrance of the restaurant, it will be a living sign and a real traffic bonus.

So these two are golden names. They finally showed up. How can people not flock to them?
When Master Lin saw this scene, he began to feel happy. He really wanted to plant flowers and flowers, but unintentionally planted willows and willows to make shade.

These people who come here don’t know if they can take advantage of this wave of traffic dividends, but they can take the lead.

The fact that the two elders are cooking at home is something worthy of publicity, not to mention the fact that they and Chu Yunfeng are recreating the braised beef head recipe.

When the time comes to hang up the photos in the store, and there are so many famous restaurant managers coming to witness, will the dishes that I innovated out of the old be remembered by everyone?
Although his plan was exposed in advance, the benefits gained were simply not too great.

The one who should be grateful the most is Brother Chu. If it weren't for him, how could these two elders chase him to his home?

How could we get this unexpected surprise?

Monkey came a little later than these people, because he had to prepare a lot of ingredients and accessories, kitchen utensils, and a temporary stove, and two of them were moved here.

"Master, what is going on? Why are so many people here?"

After the monkey entered the door, he was dumbfounded. Why did these people look so familiar when he saw them?

It seems that they are all the people I contacted just now, no, apart from the three who helped deliver the ingredients, why are these people who can't help come?
"You still have the nerve to say that? It's all your fault. I'll deal with you later!"

Master Lin was very happy, but he criticized the monkey seriously. Unexpectedly, his sloppy instructions made the monkey do a good job by accident.

"I was wrong. I was a little impatient just now and they took advantage of me. How about I invite them back?"

Monkey said a little aggrievedly, and at the same time he was also wondering when he would be able to become as thick-skinned as them?
“You’re here, can you drive away?
Forget it, you should quickly tell the chef and ask them to prepare 5 tables of good dishes.
Wait, prepare 10 tables. I guess there will be a lot of people coming later. Let's prepare this amount first. If there is not enough, we can add more. "

After seeing this battle, Master Lin began to give orders. We are guests, so we can't let everyone go hungry. If this spreads, his restaurant will not be able to mix.

"I understand, then I'll go back right away to help."

After the monkey finished speaking, he lifted his legs and walked away. As soon as he took a step, he was called out: "Don't forget the tables, chairs and benches. Also, don't forget the good wine and the tableware."

Seeing the monkey's anxious look, Master Lin gave one more warning. If the food was delivered later and there were no tables and stools, should it be placed on the ground for everyone to eat?

"I understand, don't worry, Master!"

The monkey knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to waste any more time. He took out his mobile phone and contacted him while walking.

"Oh, my bull's head."

Master Lin was thinking in his mind and found that there seemed to be no flaw in the arrangement. Then he remembered the beef head that he was still cooking and forgot to foam the blood.
"The ingredients are all here, so I'm ready to show off my skills."

Mr. Liu checked the ingredients of the three sets of ducks delivered. The quality was indeed good, so he stopped wasting time, rubbed his hands and stood up.

A master like Mr. Liu will definitely not use the ingredients if they are not up to standard. That would be an insult to his cooking skills.
The manager or chef who had already arrived was very excited after hearing this, and he could immediately see Mr. Liu's amazing skills.

And after seeing the ingredients delivered just now, many people already knew what kind of dish they were about to cook.

Some people who didn't understand it learned about the extraordinary nature of this dish after asking the people next to them, and they were very excited.

This is the first dish of Huaiyang cuisine. It is a veritable first dish. It is said that this is a top dish on the table. Everyone has only heard of it before, and they have never even seen it, let alone eaten it.

The most attractive thing about this dish is that there are seven flavors in one dish, and you have to know how to eat to taste these seven flavors. If you don't know how to eat, it will naturally be a waste of money.

That’s why this soup is also called Qisha Soup. Few people can make it, and almost no one can eat it.

After seeing Mr. Liu get up, everyone was excited to follow him to the stove, but before everyone could take a step, Mr. Liu spoke.
"Everyone, please stop here and watch. There are too many people and it affects my performance!

Xiaochu, come with me! "

Mr. Liu's words instantly poured cold water on everyone. This meant that there were too many people and it would be too crowded if they all passed by. This was the literal meaning.

But everyone understood it, that is, no one is allowed to watch it at close range!

Although the stove is not too far away from here and there is no problem in seeing clearly, some detailed techniques will make it impossible to see clearly.

The most important thing is, who is this Xiao Chu?
Why was he specifically named by Mr. Liu?
And looking at this posture, it is obvious that he is just watching from the sidelines. Which restaurant is this person from? Why does he have such a good relationship with Mr. Liu?
Chu Yunfeng instantly became the brightest person in the audience, bar none!

"Chu Yunfeng, Boss Chu?"

Someone at the scene recognized Chu Yunfeng and began to exclaim.
