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

Secretly learn Ye Wenxing’s craftsmanship? !
  After this bold idea was proposed by Su Qingfeng, He Nian was stunned at first, then rolled his eyes, as if he thought of something, and grinned happily. He could only see a set of neat white teeth, and his eyes were even more... His eyes narrowed with joy.

When He Nian heard Su Qingfeng say this, he felt a sudden enlightenment.

Yes.

Why can only Ye Wenxing disgust them?
  They are occupying the magpie's nest and stealing their jobs, and they are stealing the craftsmanship of several masters.

They can definitely go back in disgust.

Everyone is cooking in the same kitchen, and whatever skills you can steal depends entirely on your own strength.

They can't speak against Ye Wenxing, but conversely, Ye Wenxing can't speak against them either!

When you think about it this way, doesn’t your mind open up?

He was immediately gearing up to celebrate the new year, wishing he could call Ye Wenxing back again and ask him to cook another hundred and eighty dishes.

When Su Qingfeng saw the boy's expression, he knew what he was thinking about.

He shook his head angrily, and hit He Nian on the forehead with a bang, "When will you be as steady as me? With your current expression, you just have to put a word on your forehead to tell others that you are going to do bad things." Now. Let me tell you, Ye Wenxing will definitely come again during this period. Next time when he is cooking, just pretend to help him, cut vegetables, and have a keen eye. In this way, you can learn quickly from close quarters. a little."

Hearing Su Qingfeng's remarks, not to mention the New Year greetings, even Lu Datou on the side couldn't help but froze.

It turns out... things can still be solved this way.

Lu Datou felt that it was reasonable for him to be squeezed out of the state-owned hotel and now unable to be the head chef of Taihe Hotel.

It's not that he is incompetent or that he is too stupid. In fact, he is not as thick-skinned as Su Qingfeng and others.

It doesn’t matter if you are thick-skinned, the key is to be dark-hearted.

Lu Datou looked at Su Qingfeng, saw the sunny smile on his lips, shuddered, and changed the topic, "Have you finished stewing the beef brisket?"

Su Qingfeng opened the lid, took a look, took a clean spoon, took a sip of the soup, nodded silently in his heart, and gave himself an affirmation:
  As expected of him!

He Nian was still next to Su Qingfeng, busy, but suddenly, he stopped what he was doing, looked at the door of the kitchen that opened at some point, and stared warily at Ye Wenxing who suddenly appeared.

Lu Datou turned his head and looked at Ye Wenxing, noticing his somewhat stiff expression and his somewhat depressed temperament. At this moment, his mind became extremely flexible.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Datou winked at Su Qingfeng, "Is Ye Wenxing being kicked back?"

His voice was not too loud, but equally, it was not too weak, just enough for Ye Wenxing standing at the door to hear.

then……

Ye Wenxing's expression became a little ugly again.

He stood at the door, as if he wanted to laugh as usual, but thinking about what had just happened and that Yu Xianghua's words were all intended to reject him, Ye Wenxing froze halfway through his smile. To outsiders like Su Qingfeng, this seemed a little funny.

After a long while, Su Qingfeng came to the door with stewed beef brisket.

He Nian followed behind him, carrying the fruit plate that was supposed to be served at the end. Looking at him, he looked like a follower.

"Range."

Su Qingfeng spoke.

Ye Wenxing seemed to be waking up from a dream, and moved out to leave a passage for Su Qingfeng to walk. Seeing that Su Qingfeng was about to walk far away, he said reluctantly:
  "County Magistrate Yu asked you to come over. There's something wrong."

Something?

what can happen?

Thinking that Ye Wenxing looked like he was being driven back, and County Magistrate Yu called Su Qingfeng at this time, the eyes of the people around him became a little intriguing at this moment.

They didn't say anything.

But this atmosphere of not saying anything but knowing it all made Ye Wenxing feel embarrassed.

It was like...the skin was being torn off the face.

……

in the box.

Su Qingfeng was holding a casserole of stewed beef brisket, and with the help of people around him, he placed it steadily in the center of the round table.

The reddish-brown luster of the beef brisket is soaked in juice, and textures emerge on the surface. Each texture, when cooked with spices, exudes an attractive aroma, and is paired with a slightly viscous soup. This stewed beef brisket looks even more appetizing.

During the process from Su Qingfeng's entrance to now, some leaders in the box were also looking at the young man Su Qingfeng with interest.

Just saying that he is a young man might be a bit underestimating him.

To be honest, Su Qingfeng has been rumored about him recently, whether in Taihe Hotel or elsewhere.

Especially one of the rumors...

It is said that the old leader of the Xia family, for some reason, looks at Su Qingfeng in a different light.

Although it happened not long ago, people with connections or people present had already gotten the news.

If Mr. Xia hadn't made a concrete statement yet, I'm afraid there would be many people who wanted to use Su Qingfeng's line to get in touch with the old leader of the Xia family.

While they were thinking about it, the overbearing aroma of stewed beef brisket in the private room was already filling the room. The rich aroma of sauce, as well as the smell of various bay leaves and cinnamon, were mixed together.

Among the leaders, a few hidden gluttons couldn't help but quietly shrugged their noses, as if they wanted to feel the smell wafting in the air to satisfy their cravings.

When their eyes collided in mid-air, there was a hint of surprise in the eyes of these gourmets.

Everyone knew that County Magistrate Yu valued Su Qingfeng, so Su Qingfeng's craftsmanship was definitely not that bad.

But it has to be said that Su Qingfeng's beef brisket stew exceeded their expectations.

This craftsmanship... can be compared with the master craftsman from the provincial capital!
  In the past, some people outside said that Lao Yu believed in Su Qingfeng too much, but now it seems that if Su Qingfeng was not young and needed to step up, otherwise, staying as a cook in a county would be a waste of time. Su Qingfeng’s craftsmanship!
  As soon as this idea came up, before it was thought over and over and questioned in their hearts, the leaders subconsciously stretched out their chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef brisket.

The taste of beef brisket is different from that of beef.

Beef brisket is meat with meat, tendons and oil. The piece Su Qingfeng chose is beef brisket, which is the tenderest part of beef, so when you eat it, you won't have a rough texture.

Coupled with Su Qingfeng's seasoning skills, the meat quality of this steak belly is even better. When you eat it, you will feel a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

This beef brisket stew tastes even better than it smells!

When the county magistrate put the beef brisket into his mouth, at that moment, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed.

After he swallowed the tender beef brisket, when he raised his head again, his eyes immediately turned hot when he looked at Su Qingfeng.

The beef brisket is so tender that it can be chewed even if you take it back to your children. It's just a pity that today we are in a private room. It's not that we can't take it away, but... just such a pot of beef brisket is simply not enough for the wolf-like diners around us.

Want to keep the brisket for packing? That is simply wishful thinking.

Su Qingfeng looked at the sullen leader and coughed slightly, as if to attract their attention.

No!

As promised, do you need any introduction before the meal?

Just...start eating?
  While Su Qingfeng was wondering what he should do, County Magistrate Yu had already stuffed two or three pieces of beef brisket into his mouth, chewed it hard, and swallowed the beef brisket into his stomach, almost like swallowing a jujube.

There is no time to chew too much, and if you don't eat more, these grown men can stew the beef brisket in a pot, and the steamed buns are just meat, and in the end there won't even be any soup left.

When he swallowed the beef brisket, Yu Xianghua glanced at the casserole regretfully, then turned his head to look at Su Qingfeng, showing a kind smile:

"Master Su, please introduce this dish now."

Su Qingfeng looked at the casserole and could barely see the large pieces of beef brisket. For a moment, he fell into deep silence.

The food is almost finished.

You want me to start introducing the dishes?

Is he such an obedient person?
  The next moment, Su Qingfeng put on a warm smile on his face, and with the posture of talking about five thousand years, he wanted to tell the story of the process of stewing beef brisket.

Facts have proved that Su Qingfeng does have something.

If you were an ordinary person, these leaders would definitely think that he was bragging.

But if it were Su Qingfeng, first of all, he had the dish of stewed beef brisket, and as a beautiful jade, secondly, as a chef, he had his own experience when making this dish. When talking about some points that are easy to overlook, , always surprising.

Just like now, when they heard that the time for adding salt in this dish was actually stated one after another, the leaders in the box couldn't help but sigh, "It's OK."

As for the New Year greetings in the box, at this moment, because of this sudden teaching, his face turned red in surprise.

Isn’t it good that the master just told him the secret recipe for making stewed beef brisket?
  On the one hand, he was a little embarrassed, but on the other hand, he had to give in to his inner desire and couldn't help but quietly prick up his ears and listen to Su Qingfeng's teaching.

For the New Year, Su Qingfeng's teachings did not have so many ambiguities. Many times, he did not hide his secrets at all and explained some easily overlooked points one by one.

While listening to He Nian, a thought suddenly came to his mind.

It seems... he has only verbally recognized Su Qingfeng as his master now, and has not officially become a disciple yet.

Like the master and apprentice of a craftsman, the relationship is similar to that of father and son. Although he and Su Qingfeng are not much different in age, they can't do without the word master and apprentice.

Then...the apprenticeship ceremony should also be prepared.

The thought flashed by.

When Su Qingfeng finished the introduction, He Nian stepped forward naturally, put the fruit plate in his hand on the table, and whispered, "This is the fruit plate carved by Master Su himself..."

He introduced, but no one responded.

At this moment, many leaders from provincial cities and those who had eaten the signature dishes of master chefs in state-owned restaurants from various places looked directly at the fruit plate on the table, their pupils slightly narrowed, showing shock in their eyes.

On the outside of the fruit plate is a large winter melon. Winter melon is supposed to be short, fat, and stocky, with a dark green shell.

But now, this dark green shell seems to be teased by a delicate blade. The outer shell is removed to reveal the light-colored inner flesh. Using such incredible technology, the winter melon is gradually carved into strange dark green peonies. There is a sense of vitality of barbaric growth, and at the same time, there is also an astonishing feeling of ingenuity, like a miraculous creation.

The center of the winter melon is hollow, and fruits cut into different shapes are also placed inside.

These leaders even had a vague idea that if Su Qingfeng was given enough time, he could even carve the fruits inside into exquisite small objects.

County Magistrate Yu looked at Su Qingfeng and couldn't help but say, "Su Qingfeng, I've never seen you have such ability."

Excellent seasoning skills can be a natural talent, but good knife skills can only be explained by hard work day and night.

Su Qingfeng's current achievements are definitely due to his hard work.

It’s definitely not because of cheating!
  Su Qingfeng silently added this sentence in his heart.

County Magistrate Yu looked at Su Qingfeng intently for a long time.

Su Qingfeng felt numb when he saw him, and suddenly said weakly, "County Magistrate, I have a wife..."

"Ok?"

This meme is so trendy.

Yu Xianghua didn't understand for a moment and subconsciously made a nasal sound.

Su Qingfeng immediately realized what he had said.

Unfortunately, there is no withdraw button at this time.

When Yu Xianghua took a closer look, he figured out something was wrong.

The way he looked at Su Qingfeng instantly changed from smiling to dangerous.

"what do you mean?"

"Uh... I mean, next time the county magistrate is free, he can come to our hotel for dinner."

Surprisingly, Su Qingfeng thought that Yu Xianghua would entangle him again. After all, what he said was a bit abrupt, but he didn't expect that Yu Xianghua took advantage of Su Qingfeng's mention of this topic and agreed immediately.

At the end, he did not forget to add, "When the time comes, you will be the chef! Don't want anyone else."

This sounds a little weird.

Su Qingfeng silently complained, but on the surface he nodded very knowingly.

Forget it, they are all tasks assigned by the leader.

He's just a laborer.

At this time, many leaders and even technicians on the other side turned on the microphone from silent mode and began to sigh.

Especially the technicians only hated that Su Qingfeng's hands were not in their own hands.

Since Su Qingfeng can use a knife to carve winter melons into the shape of peonies, if he switches to a technical job in a workshop, he can also be successful with his hands.

But obviously, Su Qingfeng did not have this intention.

On the other side, the leaders were still amazed.

One of them, a middle-aged leader who was bald and about fifty years old, carefully observed the winter melon carved into the shape of a peony and couldn't help but sigh, "Old Yu, this master chef in your hotel is really amazing. . It doesn’t matter if you can make stewed beef brisket, the key is your knife skills... are better than some of the masters in the provincial capital." (End of Chapter)
