Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 133 Hot Braised Pork
It’s just mashed potatoes, how delicious can they be?

The young man was still a little unconvinced, so he picked up a lump of mashed potatoes and put it in his mouth.

Just after eating it, he was a little stunned.

The sour and spicy appetizing taste, coupled with the dense feeling of potatoes.

He subconsciously had a doubt. Are the eggplant fryer and the mashed potato maker the same person, or are they two different people?

When I only ate eggplant boxes, I didn't feel anything.

But after comparing the mashed potatoes, I realized that the hotel manager who said before that he should pay attention to the taste of the food... was really right.

As a result, the young man also became one of the people fighting for the mashed potatoes.

Li Gen on the side saw the mashed potatoes that were almost completely eaten, and then looked at the eggplant box that was slowly being eaten after the mashed potatoes were eaten, with a smile on his face.

Fortunately, Su Qingfeng was there to take care of the matter.

However, Li Gen still made up his mind to train more on Lin Mingliang's cooking skills during the holidays. Don't think that since he is a hotel manager now, he is not this boy's master.

Li Gen himself felt a little helpless, what a lump!
Even if he had only one-tenth of Su Qingfeng's understanding and aura, he would not have entered a state-owned hotel so many years in advance and still be kept so far away from him.

When the eggplant box was almost finished, a group of grown men didn't feel that they were holding on. They even had the sour and spicy mashed potatoes as a base. Plus there were so many people that they ate quickly, so they didn't feel hungry, and even felt faintly hungry. Appetizing feeling.

Fortunately, before the food was almost finished, a series of dishes were served again.

Chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms, fried golden steamed buns, sauerkraut and pork dumplings.

These three dishes make people want to eat them almost as soon as they are served.

Li Gen sniffed the fragrance of chicken stewed with mushrooms without any trace, and felt sure.

Sure enough, with Su Qingfeng's guidance, Lin Mingliang's chicken stewed with mushrooms today was more delicious than the ones he made before. This can be felt just from the rich aroma.

At the dinner table, an old technical consultant who was the oldest and seemed to have the most experience first scooped up a bowl of chicken soup.

As I get older, I have become more particular about how I eat.

I like to drink a bowl of hot soup before eating the staple food to warm my stomach, which saves me a lot of gastric problems in my old age.

The old man's eyes lit up when he took the first sip of chicken soup.

fresh!
The fresh fragrance of the old hen and the sweetness of the hazel mushrooms burst out in this bowl of soup.

In short, there is one word - fresh!

He drank the last sip, then sighed with satisfaction, and his expression became much softer.

The old technical consultant asked: "Manager Li, is this the chicken soup made by your master chef? It tastes really good."

Manager Li felt happy, deliberately showing a puzzled look, and explained: "Comrade, this is made by our second Zao master. When it comes to cooking skills, our master chef is even better."

The young man who had been impressed by the mashed potatoes before heard this, opened his eyes in disbelief, and immediately started shouting, "You said this chicken soup was not made by a master? Is that impossible? It's almost impossible to compare. It’s on par with state-owned hotels in our county.”

The young man only thought that Manager Li was exaggerating on purpose in order to gain the limelight.

He also drank chicken soup, so he naturally knew how delicious it was.

As a result, Li Gen told him that this was just Erzao's craftsmanship.

seriously?
If it were true, wouldn't it mean that they from the county are very ignorant?
The young man wanted to argue, but he heard Li Gen say unhurriedly: "The dumplings with pickled cabbage and pork stuffing next to it are the skills of our restaurant's master chef."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a group of people picked up dumplings and stuffed them into their mouths.

Eh?
This taste does seem unusual.

As soon as the dumplings entered their mouths, they began to burst with juice. Some people were not prepared, and they were so hot that they grinned and looked embarrassed. But even so, they were not willing to spit out the dumplings in their mouths. It was a shame. After a few times, I just ate it.

then……

The next second, everyone stretched out their chopsticks to the plate of dumplings again.

Seeing them enjoying their meal, Li Gen felt a little worried.

The order of this dish is wrong!
The braised pork should be served first, and then the dumplings. Otherwise, if the dumplings are full, how can they still have the appetite to eat the braised pork?
In Li Gen's mind, no one could refuse Su Qingfeng's bowl of braised pork, including himself.

Su Qingfeng's braised pork is simply an unbeatable trump card.

Just as I was thinking about it, a burst of overbearing and sweet meat aroma suddenly came from the back kitchen, which made the leaders who were vying to eat dumplings in the front couldn't help but eat the chopsticks in their hands.

What the hell is this?

Before they could ask, a bowl of brightly colored, crystal clear, fat and well-proportioned braised pork was placed in front of them. At the same time, an indescribable fragrance followed the air and occupied their olfactory nerves. center.

The leaders' eyes were a little fiery.

They are all people who have seen the scene. Naturally, they can tell better than ordinary people that this braised pork is probably more delicious than the braised pork they have eaten before.

The way Li Gen looked at them was even more proud than Su Qingfeng himself.

But on the surface, he just stood aside and introduced to these county leaders in a slightly proud tone:
"This braised pork is the signature dish of our state-owned restaurant, and it is also the signature dish of our master chef. In order to eat this braised pork, Deputy Secretary Han of the commune came to the state-owned restaurant in person many times and queued up to buy rice. For this bite.”

Zhao Kang had heard this story a long time ago.

It's just that he didn't take it seriously before, but now...

Although he has never tasted braised pork, he already believes this in his heart.

Others nodded repeatedly, with only one thought in their minds——

Has the hotel manager finished speaking?How come you have so much to talk about?If you keep talking, the braised pork will be cold!
Fortunately, after Li Gen had whetted his appetite, he stopped teasing these people and walked aside quietly, feeling happy in his heart.

He just did it on purpose.

Don’t the technical consultants in these counties look down upon the state-owned hotels in their towns?
If you can, don't eat it.

It's a pity that he can't say this, so he can only make secret jabs and make small moves to embarrass these leaders.

Finally waited until Li Gen walked away.

The leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally gone.

The next second, with quick eyes and quick hands, the young man stabbed the most iconic piece of braised pork with his chopstick, which happened to remove the crotch of one of the leaders with his chopstick.

This leader was wearing a Chinese tunic suit with a pen stuck in the pocket of his clothes. Although he looked like a middle-aged man in his 40s, he was very elegant and seemed to be calm and confident.

It's a bit similar to Zhao Kang's style.

According to Su Qingfeng, if these two were acting, they would look like decent characters.

The young man didn't care much about the little incident at the dinner table.

He is full of fat and tender braised pork.I saw him squealing and biting down, and the stewed braised pork was so rotten, especially the fat piece, that it almost melted away in one sip.

With the fat meat neutralized, the lean meat underneath not only does not look bad, but also reduces the greasy feeling very well. After one bite, it can be said that the mouth is filled with fragrance, and people who are addicted to the fragrance will want to eat it again.

To put it exaggeratedly, I almost shed tears.

The young man was completely impressed by this mouthful of braised pork, and he screamed at the delicious taste.

Under the impact of the delicious food, he had forgotten the airs he put on. While eating the braised pork, he said vaguely: "Master, this braised pork is so delicious! It's incomparable to the ones in our cafeteria." . It would be great if I could stay here forever, but it would be even better if the master chef here could come to a state-owned hotel in the county."

The older technical consultant next to him didn't even look at him like this.

This stupid boy.

Not only did he block the county magistrate's chopsticks, but he also foolishly said he wanted to abduct his signature master chef on someone else's property. He was so heartless... and he didn't look like this.

Didn't you see that the hotel manager's face was almost dark?
The old technical consultant glanced at the young man angrily and said, "I can't stop you from eating!"

The young man had a temper in his heart, but he didn't dare to vent it out. He muttered aggrievedly: "What I eat is dumplings, not rice."

Hey!This kid!
Several technicians on the side wanted to beat him up.

Why does this guy always look like he's in need?

the other side.

The magistrate of Taihe County also swallowed the braised pork in his mouth.

His expression is much calmer than others, but if you look carefully, you can still find that his eyes are slightly bright, and it is obvious that he is extremely satisfied with this braised pork.

Li Gen originally thought that with so many dumplings, fried steamed buns and mashed potatoes were very filling dishes, and even if everyone had a good appetite, they wouldn't be able to finish them all.

Especially this kind of technical consultant is not good at doing physical work, and his appetite is smaller than that of people who do heavy physical work.

Unexpectedly, this group of people finished all the meals before they stretched themselves to death.

Even the fried eggplant box, which was slightly disgusting, was eaten cleanly.

When Li Gen saw this scene, he knew that the task of entertaining the leaders in the state-owned hotel was successfully completed.

It can even be said that... it exceeded everyone's expectations and exceeded the expectations!

Just when it was about to happen, the county magistrate of Taihe County, Yu Xianghua, suddenly made a request that was beyond everyone's expectations, but after careful consideration, it was also reasonable.

"Can I meet the master chef who made this bowl of braised pork?"

It's really remarkable that Yu Xianghua, the county magistrate, is called a master.

Li Gen's eyebrows were filled with a hint of joy, and he hurried to the kitchen.

Not long after, he walked out of the kitchen again, bringing with him a young man who surprised everyone.

He is too young.

Being so young, it’s hard to believe that such delicious braised pork was made by them.

But no one said anything suspicious or sarcastic.

What's so deceptive about this?
If Li Gen brings someone else out, he only needs to make braised pork again to know whether the person in front of him is the so-called master chef.

It's impossible for Li Gen to be stupid enough to pull off such a trick, right?

That's what makes it even more shocking.

To be able to have such cooking skills at this age is not something that can be summed up by just one sentence of talent.

Yu Xianghua glanced at Su Qingfeng and showed a rare smile: "What is your chef level?"

Su Qingfeng was very honest: "I just passed the eighth level exam."

Yu Xianghua nodded: "Seventh level will be a matter of time for you. When you pass the seventh level, you can come to the county to find me."

Huh.

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone's eyes changed.

Because according to the general level [-] chef, he may not be able to work in the county.

Take a ready-made example, that is Master Zhou in the steel factory - Zhou Dapao.

But with Yu Xiangdong's words, it was like taking a reassuring pill and getting a Dinghai Shenpin.

It was only a matter of time before Su Qingfeng used the state-owned hotel in the town as a springboard to jump to the county.

But it's no wonder that Yu Xiangdong said this.

After all, Su Qingfeng is so young and has such cooking skills. If nothing happens in the future, it will be basically easy for him to sneak into the town.

If he sells it well in advance, he might even be able to form a good relationship by then.

After all, in this era, the status of chefs is indeed quite high.

Li Gen stood behind, looking at Su Qingfeng's back, feeling a little dazed and a little reluctant.

But he also knew very well that it was obviously impossible for Su Qingfeng to stay in the town for the rest of his life.

After all the county leaders left, Lin Mingliang, who was heartless, ran out in a hurry. He was obviously older than Su Qingfeng, but he had a bad temper.

He wiped the sweat from his head and said with emotion, "Oh my god, the leaders in this town are too scary. I heard that the man in the Chinese tunic suit is actually the county magistrate."

"When I saw the county magistrate, my legs were a little weak. It was such a winter, and all the sweat on my back made my clothes wet. It was so scary."

Li Gen stepped forward, poured a glass of warm water for both of them, and then looked at Lin Mingliang with disgust, "How old are you? You are not as stable as Xiao Su. Can you learn from it?"

Lin Mingliang was disliked again.

But he didn't feel much about it himself. He looked nonchalant and even said with some reason: "What does this thing have to do with age? Anyway, I only have this little success in my life. I don't want to be rich or peaceful. I have a little money in my pocket." That's enough. It's not bad to be the second stove now. If I were to take the responsibility, I'd be afraid of myself."

This man... is really extraordinarily sober.

Li Gen didn't even know what to say about him.

but……

He quickly reacted, "Do we still have some braised pork left?"

As soon as these words came out, even Chen Meilan, who was still cleaning the table, was attracted.

They also want to try the taste of braised pork that can conquer all the county leaders one by one.

Su Qingfeng felt their gazes and deliberately remained silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Braised pork...why isn't there any?"
