Chapter 833 Subvert your worldview

Chu Yunfeng's words not only shocked Princess Silena and Daxin, but also Mu Qing.

"Wait a moment, I'll do some calculations first, and then draw a sketch for you. This will be more intuitive."

Although the kitchen is large, it is not enough for Chu Yunfeng because it is difficult to renovate it.

The main reason is that this is a western-style kitchen, and many places have been solidified. If you want to change the already formed stove into a high-fire stove, you will definitely need a super-large renovation of the entire kitchen.

Not to mention the cost issue, it is too late even in terms of time.

There are a lot of places that need hammering, which would destroy the integrity of the kitchen and would take a lot of work to restore, so there's no need for that.

However, it is much easier to build a temporary open-air kitchen. You only need to put the stove outside, ventilate it, and pull it away after use. It is simple, economical, affordable and convenient.

There were a total of eighteen dishes, and Chu Yunfeng went through each dish quickly and carefully in his mind.

According to the nature of these dishes, Chu Yunfeng divided them into soups, hot dishes, cold dishes and stir-fried dishes.

Soups include: chickpea flower, spinach dumpling fish maw, boiled cabbage, bamboo fungus liver paste soup, pocket tofu.

Hot dishes include: sea cucumber roasted with liver oil, steamed glutinous rice dumplings with net oil, butterfly sea cucumber, braised beef head cubes, pork head in a jar, pig head with bean dregs, roasted chicken wrapped in buns, and crispy chicken with sesame seeds.

The cold dishes include: nine-color dumpling box, and of course kimchi, which are given for free.

Stir-fried dishes include: Snowflake Chicken Nao, Furong Chicken Slices, Kung Pao Chicken, Eight Treasure Pot Steamed.

After quickly classifying them, Chu Yunfeng felt more confident, and he had already made a detailed plan for the arrangement of these dishes.

The simplest and most relaxing dishes here are the four stir-fried dishes of Snowflake Chicken Chowder and Kung Pao Chicken. Although the hibiscus chicken slices are a little difficult to "prepare", they can be made in advance.

Among the hot dishes, the steamed Jiang Tuan is the simplest. You can leave it alone after it is put in the basket. However, the meat needs to be added halfway. Guo Kui and the others can help with these.

From this point of view, in fact, the most kitchen utensils needed this time are soup pots. Many dishes need the full support of broth, and dishes such as braised beef head squares and bean dregs pig's head require a lot of pots and utensils.

If you want to prepare so many dishes within the stipulated time, you need to plan their production time uniformly. This requires an absolutely staggering amount of pots.

In addition, a grill is also indispensable, after all, both roasted chicken and sesame crispy chicken need to be grilled over charcoal fire.

calculate!

A lot of calculations!
Accurate calculation!
After spending 10 minutes, Chu Yunfeng used more than a dozen pieces of draft paper, and finally sorted out three pieces of draft paper and handed them to Princess Silena.

"My God~!"

Princess Silena immediately exclaimed, then raised her head and asked with a very surprised look: "Why do you need so many? Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

The list details the number of kitchen utensils required:

Soup bucket: Φ60*60cm (200 pieces), soup pot (130 pieces)
Electric oven: medium (50 pcs), or grill 130 pcs.

Fierce fire stove: 20 pieces, model ******.

There are a lot of kitchen utensils on this list, but the most exaggerated ones are the 200 soup buckets and 130 soup pots, which are obviously meant to be matched with the stove.

From the looks of it, this stove must be equipped with more than 300.

You can imagine what a spectacular scene it will be when more than 300 stoves are placed in the manor at one time.

In this kitchen, the maximum number of places that can be placed is about 40, so the rest can only be placed in an open-air environment.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. If you want to complete such a large number of banquet tables within the specified time, these kitchen utensils are necessary. The following two are schematic diagrams of the temporary venue. Is there such a large venue for us?"

This is Chu Yunfeng's biggest headache. He has built a total of four places in this temporary venue, and each place has its own unique use.

“Do you really need such a big venue and so many kitchen utensils?”

Princess Silena still couldn't believe it at this moment. She didn't have a very intuitive impression of the preparation of traditional Sichuan cuisine before.

But now on these three thin pieces of manuscript paper, I finally understand how complicated and cumbersome it is.

"Yes, you can only have more, not less. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to complete the 99-table banquet in such a short period of time."

Chu Yunfeng nodded with certainty. In fact, the calculations here must have taken into account unexpected situations. For such a grand scene, there is no problem in completing 150 tables.

After swallowing, Princess Silena took a deep breath and said: "There is no problem with the venue. There is a large open space behind the kitchen, which is just suitable for setting up a temporary kitchen there.

This land was a former parking lot and was recently planned to be used to build a warehouse. Fortunately, construction has not yet started. "

Have a venue?
Chu Yunfeng felt happy and said quickly: "Then let's go over and see if this is big enough?"

When he heard that there was a parking lot, Chu Yunfeng immediately felt relieved. The key is that this place is very close to the kitchen, which can save him a lot of time running back and forth.

And since it is a parking lot, it must be quite large. This manor is so big, how can a parking lot be built so small?
Led by Princess Silena, the group walked out and turned a corner, and saw the huge open space in front of them. Except for a few cars parked inside, it looked empty.

This also illustrates the size of the parking lot, which is at least as big as three football fields.

The six chefs in the kitchen were very curious at this moment. There was something wrong with this young Chinese man since he came in. He pointed at his own territory, feeling a bit like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

At this time, lunch is almost ready. It seems that they want to have a sumptuous lunch in the kitchen today?
But why did they all leave all of a sudden?
Are we going to change places again?

Just when the chefs were "doubting life", this group of people came back again, and the leader was a young Chinese man with a bright smile on his face.

The strangest thing is that from his eyes, everyone saw a strong and naked desire to possess, as if this kitchen already belonged to him.

The chefs guessed correctly. Chu Yunfeng had already classified this place as his "territory". When he came here again, he could only enter and exit by himself.

After confirming the open space outside, everyone returned to the kitchen, and Chu Yunfeng checked the draft with Princess Silena to confirm the areas that needed to be corrected.

"Here, here, yes, yes, these stoves need to be replaced, and then over there, a dozen soup pots need to be added to the innermost place. They don't need to be too big, just medium ones.

And here, the kitchen table cannot be missing, and it must be very wide so that the cooked dishes can be temporarily placed.

Yes, this side also needs to be widened a little, and spices and ingredients also need space to be placed.

"

It took the two of them 10 minutes to finalize all the details. After coming from the main building, Daxin had been in a very low-key state and did not take the initiative to ask any questions.

After the princess and Chu Yunfeng finally decided, he finally appeared.

"Mr. Chu, I have one last question, which is also the core issue of this state banquet. I wonder if you can give us a detailed plan, that is, the order and time of serving the dishes.

I have a big question. Just now you asked the princess for so many tablewares. I have some doubts about their quantity and your ability to operate them.

I simply can't imagine that so many dishes could be used at the same time as they should be, and based on the list of people you provided, there are only a few chefs.

Can you guys do it? "

Daxin's words hit the point, and Princess Silena came back to her senses. Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, especially in this kitchen, where a 12-burner stove needs to be placed.

I thought that all the cooking was done here, but the temporary kitchen set up outside also required more than a dozen powerful stoves. What was going on?

Mu Qing had never thought about this question, but Chu Yunfeng had always told himself that he would tell him the answer on the spot.

Just when Chu Yunfeng was about to answer, the tallest European chef came over and told the princess that it was time to eat. Obviously he was the highest person in charge of the kitchen.

How can Princess Silena have the thought and mood to eat right away at this time? If Chu Yunfeng's answer cannot be justified, then she may not be able to eat in the next few days.

After learning that he would have to wait for a while, the tall chef returned to the kitchen counter with a frown on his face. He was very curious as to why the princess seemed to have to ask this young man for instructions during her meal.

"Your worries are completely unnecessary. Since I dare to ask for so many things, it will definitely not be without purpose. If you want to make such a large number of dishes, you will definitely not be able to do it without so many kitchen utensils.

Of course, hearing is believing, so let me show you my true strength.

Princess, can I borrow this kitchen now? "

Chu Yunfeng knew that the last critical moment was coming, and he had to reveal a little bit of his trump card today, otherwise, it would be unconvincing.

So at this moment, Chu Yunfeng showed his domineering attitude and his face was full of confidence, which instantly made everyone a little excited.

It seems like this is going to be serious?

"No problem, just use it. If you need anything, just ask."

Princess Silina immediately understood what Chu Yunfeng was thinking. It seemed that he wanted to show off his strength in front of everyone.

So he immediately called the tall chef over and asked him to fully cooperate with Chu Yunfeng.

"What? He wants to cook?"

The tall chef felt that his brain was about to shut down. He never thought that this guy's true identity would be a chef?
What kind of chef is this, that he is treated with courtesy by the princess and so many members of the royal family, and they obviously treat him with great respect?
And the six chefs like me don't usually get this treatment in the kitchen. What's going on?

However, he did not dare to disobey the princess's order. After making an invitation to Chu Yunfeng, Chu Yunfeng walked towards the kitchen counter.

After all, this is someone else's territory, so it's better to be polite when occupying a magpie's nest!
Since you want to show your own level and give the other party an unforgettable memory, you naturally need to plan it carefully.

At present, the other party is questioning that they cannot use so many tableware at one time, so this demonstration can only use speed to tell them that this idea is dangerous and ridiculous!

absurd?

I guess Taksin didn't expect that he would be labeled this way, right?

After Chu Yunfeng entered the kitchen, he was very alert to see what Chu Yunfeng would show. After thinking for a long time, he didn't have any clue.

Mu Qing found that her mentality was a little unbalanced in the past two days. Her usual steady style had weakened a lot, and was replaced by the worries and uneasiness of a little girl.

At this moment, his two fists were clenched tightly, and he could hear the strong beating of his heart.

After Mr. Chu, who looked calm, walked into the kitchen, the tall chef called out all the other five chefs, making the five of them look at each other in confusion.

I checked the ingredients on the kitchen table. Most of them are more Western-style vegetables, such as onions, carrots, tomatoes, red peppers, yellow peppers, eggs, chicken, beef, milk, flour, etc.

Of course, there will definitely be some other fruits, vegetables and meats in the freezer, but there are quite a few of them, and there is no need to make anything complicated yourself.

After taking a look, Chu Yunfeng immediately came up with his own plan in his mind, so let's simply cook two dishes, one Chinese and one western, it must be amazing.

Clean your hands!
start!
After reciting these two words silently in his mind, Chu Yunfeng immediately started moving like a whirlwind, with a speed that was staggering.

Dang dang dang dang.
A total of fifteen pots are placed on the stove, five are woks, naturally placed on the high-fire stove, five are small soup pots, placed on the integrated stove, and the other five are pans. Also placed on top of the integrated stove.

What is this for?
Does he want to control fifteen pots at the same time?

Is this acrobatics?
Everyone couldn't believe what they saw. They immediately thought that Chu Yunfeng was joking, but the joke was not funny.

But it seemed that all this was true. Chu Yunfeng responded to everyone's speculations with practical actions, which instantly shocked everyone at the scene.

The first step is to beat the eggs!
Chu Yunfeng picked up the egg with his left hand and knocked it on the steel bowl. Then his hand lightly passed over the bowl, and the essence of the egg fell from the shell into the bowl.

Then the eggshell is thrown away and the next egg is cooked in the same manner.

This hand speed is so fast that it is dizzying, just like a precise machine without any mistakes.

But it's not over yet. The one who beat the eggs was only his left hand, while his right hand picked up the onion on the kitchen table and started cutting it. The complete onion was just placed on the cutting board, and the next second he noticed that it had changed. .

With only one hand, and under the condition of dual-purpose, the onion was completely cut into small strips, and it was quickly chopped into particles.

This has no effect on the speed of egg breaking with the left hand. If you don't see him standing there alone, you will think that two people are operating at the same time just looking at the hand.

What's even more amazing is that after beating a dozen eggs, Chu Yunfeng stirred them evenly and immediately put oil in five woks. It was obvious that he wanted to control five woks at the same time for cooking.

There is no doubt that this dish is tomato scrambled eggs.

Control five pots at once?

Or a fierce stove?
Can this be played?

Aren't you afraid of getting burnt?

When everyone thought this was an impossible task, Chu Yunfeng once again made an astonishing move. He also started the ten pots on the integrated stove.
"This is impossible!"

Da Xin blurted out, feeling that his world view was about to be overturned.
