Yunnan cuisine, this is a cuisine that Su Chen has not been exposed to much.

Don’t rush to deal with the summoned fungi. Let’s read the introduction of Yunnan cuisine in Famous Cuisine.

"Dian cuisine is mainly steamed, fried, and stir-fried, and the taste is spicy, sour, spicy, and sweet."

It can be seen from the introduction that even when collecting famous recipes, the cuisines here were rarely included. Instead, the dishes from Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces were directly collected into one volume.

"Why don't you try this thing called Jianshouqing?"

This thing was quite big. Su Chen cut it with a kitchen knife and saw that the cut surface of the fungus quickly turned into a kind of cyan, with a little bit of green in the cyan.

"You know it's poisonous but you still eat it."

Su Chen didn't quite understand it anyway, so he heated up the oil in a pot until the oil started to smoke, then quickly put the cut green slices into the pot and started to stir-fry.

At the same time, add the whole garlic into the pot.

It is said that adding garlic can detoxify!

Just like fried king oyster mushrooms, there is no change at first. As the stir-frying time increases, soup begins to appear in the pot.

Su Chen added some light soy sauce and refined salt and continued to stir-fry.

"How long will this thing last?"

After frying for about five or six minutes, Su Chen picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste whether it was raw or cooked.

"hiss!"

The fresh and sweet taste in the mouth is accompanied by the unique fungus flavor coming from wild fungi in nature. This taste seems to have magic power and goes straight up from the Tianling Gai!

"No wonder you risk your life to eat mushrooms, they turn out to be so delicious!!!"

At this moment, Su Chen suddenly understood the Yunnan people.

Understand them and become them.

Su Chen, who was cooking, suddenly stopped. The mushrooms were delicious, and he understood why everyone wanted to eat them, but what they didn't understand was.

"Why do I get comments when I talk to myself?"

Sixteen hours later.

Su Chen opened his eyes on the chair in the office, stood up and walked around the office several times, then turned on the computer and played Minesweeper twice.

"It seems that the poisoning in the practice room has nothing to do with reality."

"Gan! You can't taste fried mushrooms, right?"

Su Chen took out his cell phone and sent Zhang Maolin a message.

[Mushrooms can be made, but the ingredient must be obtained. Are you kidding me? Who is responsible if something goes wrong after eating?]

The food at Renguo Guesthouse is all about maintaining a stable taste and texture. How about you just give me delicious food and poisonous ingredients for me to handle?

Customization isn’t the way to go, right?

After sending the message, Su Chen didn't care. Anyway, he definitely couldn't do the Jian Shou Qing thing, but he could still ask his friends in Yunnan Province to send him some.

"I'm sure it won't be poisonous next time!"

Just so confident.

Su Chen turned over and returned to the practice room. After taking a deep breath, he felt that there was nothing strange about his body.

Maybe this is the benefit of the practice room.

This time, Su Chen did not summon the green-headed fungus, but chose another fungus that didn't look very friendly, but was actually non-toxic: green-headed fungus.

Compared with the big guy with green hands, the green-headed fungus is much cuter. It looks a bit like a mushroom, but with a slight green color on the top.

"Stuffed green head mushroom is also a famous dish in Yunnan Province, and it is made with a variety of other ingredients. The prepared dishes can also be separated out separately. Such dishes are more suitable to appear at banquets."

After making up her mind, Su Chen set out to try this dish that she had never seen before.

With the association's official momentum building, and the fact that each real-name authenticated account can only vote once, the twenty-eight dishes from the association's official channels will soon have the final results.

Sichuan cuisine, which has attracted much attention before, was finally voted the most by boiled cabbage without any surprise.

No way, whether this dish is delicious or not is another matter, the name alone is too loud.

The food in Hunan Province is a bit interesting.

The Dong'an chicken and braised shark's fin were initially selected, but many netizens believed that these did not represent Hunan cuisine. Countless people strongly requested that the dish "steamed cured meat and steamed meat" should be the focus of this promotion of Hunan cuisine.

This matter is still making a fuss on the Internet.

Later, someone from the association took a video and explained it, which finally calmed everyone's depression.

After all, the steamed and cured meat dish is indeed delicious, but its texture is always tough and chewy. Considering that some of the guests at the banquet will be older and even wear dentures when eating, so the steamed and cured meat dish can only be passed. Lose.

In the end, Dong'an Chicken fell behind the Braised Shark's Fin by a slim vote, which was almost the same as the association's expectation. This Braised Shark's Fin was also one of the eight major cuisines prepared by Su Chen.

In the conference room on the second floor, a group of employees were eagerly leaning in front of the computer to study the latest voted dishes.

"Our Shanxi province is really embarrassed. In the end, it was sea buckthorn juice that won the prize. Even with the efforts of the whole province, we couldn't come up with a decent dish. It's really embarrassing!"

Ling Shuyu glanced at Bai Xiaobo and said, "There is nothing to be ashamed of. If sea buckthorn juice can become popular at this state banquet, this drink will become popular all over the country in the future, which is a good thing."

He Shuting pointed at the computer screen, "You didn't even choose Hu spicy soup from Henan Province?"

Liu Shengnan smiled, "You haven't noticed that all dishes have one characteristic. They are very restrained in spiciness. You still have to consider the international situation! You can't just do it according to your temper."

The dish with the highest votes in Henan Province is: baked carp noodles.

This dish has also appeared many times in TV dramas, which shows that it has a long history. Of course, this result also makes many local people in Henan Province feel very dissatisfied.

Some people even threatened on Douyin that it would be better to have a pot of stewed noodles instead of making a baked carp noodle!

The dishes of other provinces, especially the northwest dishes, almost subverted the local people's own cognition.

For example, the dishes of Gansu Province, countless netizens thought that it must be beef ramen, but in the end it was a "braised lamb meat" that won the vote.

Many locals said that they had not even eaten this thing, so how could it be selected?

At that time, give each of those old men and women a bowl of beef ramen, the kind with beef, wouldn't it be fragrant and confusing?

Some people also expressed opposition.

If you give people a bowl of beef ramen, will they eat anything else?

That thing is delicious, but you will be full after eating a bowl.

But no matter what, this voting activity has basically ended, but the enthusiasm for food exchange has not decreased. After all, there is only half a month left. In addition, it is close to the end of the year, and many people have begun to return home early. Therefore, many netizens are idle and have begun to look forward to it. Some netizens even try to cook at home according to the state banquet menu on the Internet.

As for Su Chen, his daily life has become unprecedentedly regular.

"No wonder everyone has to find a class to attend"

Early in the morning, Su Chen got up and drank a cup of coffee.

Now after getting up every day, he will start to try cooking in the practice room. After every sixteen hours of practice, he will return to reality and rest for two hours.

Then until about ten o'clock in the evening, he will go directly to bed.

Day after day, for ten consecutive days, Su Chen stood in front of the window and looked outside.

"Finally, all 28 dishes have been tried to S level."

A few days ago, the service team of the State Guest House has settled in Delicious.

More than a hundred female waiters, plus a dozen management staff, all lived on the 32nd floor. It must be said that the hotel floor that was loaned out at the beginning has played a significant role now.

There is less than a week before the banquet starts, and all kinds of ingredients that are easy to store have begun to be transported.

Unfortunately, with Fang Chang's strength, he can't swallow such a large order at present. He is only responsible for some simple meats. Other special ingredients from various provinces are provided by local suppliers. All these things are handled by the Cooking Association.

Since most of the dishes have been trained to S level, Su Chen is not in a hurry.

In the following time, the focus is basically on reality. The first thing is to deal with some ingredients in advance.

In such a busy time, another four days have passed.

There are still three days before the banquet starts, and all the staff of the Cooking Association have arrived in Jingzhou.

Originally, Su Chen wanted to arrange everyone to live in a hotel in the city, but at the strong request of Zhang Maolin, all the leaders of the Cooking Association finally lived in Delicious.

At the same time, Delicious also ushered in the first suspension of business since its opening.

Various warnings began to appear around the development zone.

But these had no effect on Su Chen himself.

When there was still one day before the banquet, Su Chen gathered all the chefs of Delicious in the cafeteria on the 19th floor and held a brief meeting.

The people who can sit at this table now may not be the best chefs in the country.

But after tomorrow, they will become the most famous people in the country.

National chef level: Cui Yufen, Lu Yongliang, Wang Zhijun, Liu Guochu, Jiang Wensheng, Jiang Wusheng.

They represent the top level of several major cuisines in China.

Those who are slightly inferior to one level are: Zhang Laoer, Lao Shiqi, Liu Abao, and the apprentices of several national chefs in famous cuisine restaurants.

Although they can't reach the cooking level of their teachers, they all have their own areas of expertise.

Looking at everyone sitting together, Su Chen was a little emotional for a while.

Once upon a time, I was the only one here, and my daily work task was to find a way to prepare a meal for the employees to pay back the transportation subsidies owed to them.

At that time, Su Chen could clearly feel the distrust in the eyes of the employees.

Now, his kitchen team alone has become so powerful.

"Three days later, it will be time for the banquet to begin."

Su Chen said softly.

It can be clearly felt that the expressions of the national chefs sitting in front of him are slightly nervous.

"That means starting from tomorrow, we will start to prepare some things."

When Su Chen spoke, everyone listened carefully in tacit understanding, and no one raised any questions.

"Today I will assign the work tasks."

Su Chen took out the work task list prepared in advance, which had detailed plans for each dish.

"Teacher Cui is responsible for Shandong cuisine, Shaanxi cuisine, and Gan cuisine."

"Teacher Lu is responsible for"

The overall idea is that the national chefs try to be responsible for the cuisine related to their majors. Lu Yongliang is good at cooking fish, so he will be responsible for all fish processing.

This is not a difficult task.

After all, the cooking was done by Su Chen himself, and most of the others just handled the ingredients, did some cutting and seasoning work.

A copy of the task list was distributed to everyone, and everyone looked at the detailed list as if they were facing a great enemy.

"It's still Xiao Su's habit. I have no problem here. When do we start?" Lu Yongliang only needed to take a look to make it clear.

Wang Zhijun and Liu Guochu, who had not yet had the experience of cooking with Su Chen, looked at their lists with some confusion.

"You only need to prepare one portion of the chopped green onion, why do you have to divide it into sixteen portions?"

Cui Yufen glanced at Liu Guochu, "Preparing one portion was your previous habit, so many people served you alone. Now Xiao Su is serving so many people alone, can it be the same?"

Wang Zhijun also wanted to ask, but after listening to Cui Yufen's stern words, he simply shut up.

Unlike their previous habits, Su Chen prepared ingredients according to the names of the dishes.

Even if the ingredients are the same, they must be divided into different portions according to different dishes, and then all the ingredients are put together, with a sign in front to clearly write which dish it is.

The most difficult part is the order in which the dishes are prepared.

"I have marked the time for everyone to prepare the ingredients and the time after they are ready. Everyone must follow this time point. Tell me in advance if there are any difficulties."

Several national chefs nodded and said that there was no problem.

But they also admired Su Chen in their hearts.

People who don't know how to cook may not know, but just think that these dishes are the best.

But in fact, it is not.

When cooking in the State Guest House before, each chef would be told at what time the dishes they were responsible for needed to be served, so everyone just needed to start cooking according to the time.

This is just one dish.

But if everyone increases to two dishes, the work will become complicated. This is no longer a problem of one plus one equals two, but an exponential increase in complexity.

When it comes to three dishes, it is basically difficult for a chef to complete it independently, and other people must assist in completing part of the cooking work.

And Su Chen is now facing 28 dishes!

In just a few days, all the processes of 28 dishes have been clearly sorted out. Just this task list and schedule have shocked the people present.

Seeing that no one had anything to add, Su Chen stood up and clapped his hands, his voice getting louder.

"Okay, everyone, have a good rest today! Starting at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, you may not be able to sleep well these few days."

"Thank you for your hard work for this banquet!"

Cui Yufen waved his hand, "It's worth it."

Others also nodded in agreement. Don't talk about whether it's hard or not. At their age, having such an experience is what many chefs dream of.

How hard is it?

The simple meeting ended.

Su Chen directly fried himself a plate of egg fried rice, drank a bottle of Sanko Lager, did nothing, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

There is only one thing to do now: conserve your energy!

The next day, early in the morning.

There are still 36 hours before the banquet starts.

Su Chen stood in the kitchen, still wearing a decent black suit.

In front of him were more than 20 helpers in white chef uniforms, and everyone's expression was very serious.

"Begin!"

At the command, the sound of ping-pong balls suddenly rang out in the kitchen, and the sound of various metal kitchen utensils colliding together was like a beautiful symphony.

And at this moment.

Around the world, many planes took off and flew towards the same destination.

Beijing! (End of this chapter)
