Hardcore Chef Dad

Chapter 221 Su Ji a Hundred Years Ago (first more)

After some introduction, everyone is naturally looking forward to it. What kind of dishes can Feng Yifan, who is known as the head of an old restaurant with a century-old heritage, make?

Although there are three tables of guests in the restaurant, they also have a lot of dishes on their tables, but after all, they have been passive.

Li Feier didn't make things difficult, but said to Feng Yifan: "Chef Feng, we still hope that we can take a complete shot of you, or this Su Ji's specialty, can you make one for us?"

Speaking of this, Li Feier looked at the table of guests who were celebrating the birthday of the elderly and said, "Well, so as not to waste, we ask you to make a special one for that table of old birthday stars, okay?"

Hearing this, the old man at the table stood up and said, "Oh, how am I embarrassed."

Li Fei'er smiled and said, "Old man, you are welcome. This is considered our program team to catch up. It is also your birthday here before the transformation of this street. It is considered that we will celebrate your birthday together."

Li Fei'er's proposal naturally won the approval of many people present.

Especially the young guests at that table, as well as some young people from the TV station, think this idea is very good.

Feng Yifan said this to Li Feier, but didn't immediately agree, thinking about what kind of dish should be cooked in his heart?

Seeing Feng Yifan's silence, Li Feier continued: "Chef Feng doesn't have to be embarrassed. You only need to make a dish on the menu. We are not trying to make things difficult for you."

Feng Yifan thought about it seriously. He raised his head and looked at the old man and said, "You don’t have to be polite, Mr. Yan. Since everyone has said it, I naturally want to give you this dish for longevity. I don’t know what Mr. Yan wants to eat. ?"

The longevity old man was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Feng Yifan's very serious look. For a while, he still didn't know what to say?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Old Yan, don't be so nervous, just say what you want to eat. As long as Su Ji has it, I will definitely make it for you."

After being said that, the birthday man finally said: "Well, when I was young, I once ate the lion head corresponding to the four seasons in Su Ji. It is still unforgettable."

Hearing this, Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will do it for you once."

Hearing about this "four seasons lion head", in fact, many people at the scene still didn't quite understand it. After all, everyone was not as knowledgeable as Su Lanxin.

The young guests at that table could not help but ask, "Boss, is this lion head divided into four seasons?"

Feng Yifan nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, in the past, lion heads were made by adding different ingredients throughout the year, and then using four different cooking techniques to make it."

After hearing this, let alone that table of young people, the others present were also very curious.

Seeing that everyone was very curious, Feng Yifan also gave a serious introduction to the camera lens of the TV station.

"The four seasons of lion head are: braised in spring, steamed in summer, stewed in autumn, and braised in winter. These four cooking methods are made in different seasons, and they must be matched with seasonal ingredients. The most typical one is the stewed crab noodles in autumn. Lion head."

Hearing this, everyone naturally exclaimed. They didn't expect the lion head to be so particular.

Some young people even sighed: "So, crab noodles and lion head are not eaten all year round?"

Feng Yifan smiled and said: "Now naturally you can eat it all year round. In the past, the ingredients were restricted by region and season. How could it be possible to eat crab noodles all year round?"

When Su Lanxin came before, she introduced to two members of the Food and Beverage Association.

However, it was only a few of them chatting privately, and neither Su Lanxin nor the two members of the Food and Beverage Association made it public afterwards.

The reason Su Lanxin didn't make it public was because her apprentice hadn't matched her yet, and she was already a complete defeat.

The two members of the Food and Beverage Association may still be thinking about the choice between Su Ji and Su Lanxin these days. Therefore, the saying that the lion head of the four seasons was said that time was not known by many people.

Today is different. Feng Yifan is showing the essence of this dish to the public in front of the TV program.

It also made many people know for the first time that after eating lion heads for so many years, they didn't understand at all.

Old man Yan couldn't help asking again: "Chef Feng, then these four seasons of lion head, except for autumn crab noodles, what ingredients should be used in the other four seasons?"

Feng Yifan didn't hide it either. He smiled and replied, "In fact, the ingredients used will be different. In the past, they used to be braised with braised mussels in spring, steamed with lotus leaves in summer, stewed with crab noodles in autumn, and braised chicken in winter.

Of course, there are also seasonal fresh vegetables to make, such as spring bamboo shoots in spring, lotus root in summer, mushrooms in autumn, and winter bamboo shoots in winter. Of course, these four are generally cooked with clear stew. "

After listening to Feng Yifan's introduction, everyone really felt that they benefited a lot. There was a feeling that a lot of knowledge was suddenly added.

Li Fei'er asked at this moment: "Chef Feng, what kind of lion head do you want to make for the birthday man today?"

Feng Yifan suddenly felt that Li Feier would cooperate well with him. She had obviously been to Su Ji several times, knowing that Feng Yifan must have such a unique innovation.

With a smile on his face, Feng Yifan said to everyone and the camera: "I made four kinds of lion heads for Yan Lao today, but there are differences. After Lixia, let’s come to a small fourth product in summer."

What Feng Yifan said made everyone very much looking forward to it. Want to see what Feng Yifan's "Summer Little Four" would look like?

Li Feier then asked: "Then, can Chef Feng reveal it?"

Feng Yifan shook his head: "I can't say it for the time being. It's meaningless to say it. When I wait for Yan to eat, I can ask Yan to talk about what ingredients I use."

Hearing this, the elder man over there smiled and said, "Well, I am looking forward to it."

The others in the restaurant are looking forward to it too.

Before Feng Yifan turned around and left, he said to Li Fei'er and the others: "This dish may take some time, or you can interview other people on the old street and wait about an hour before coming back."

A young man on the TV station suddenly exclaimed: "What? Does it take an hour?"

And in that table of middle-aged people in the restaurant, a middle-aged man said, "Is it still an hour? You know that a good lion head needs a long time to cook for the soup, and the finely chopped lion head meat. Rough chop, everything is kung fu work."

Yan Lao also said at this time: "I have to wait for an hour."

Naturally, the children who came to the old man's birthday at that table all expressed that they would wait together, especially the grandchildren of the old man, they all expressed that they must see it.

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Thank you for your willingness to wait. Then I will go to the back kitchen to start. See you in an hour."

After that, Feng Yifan walked towards the back kitchen.

Li Fei'er and her colleagues on the TV station looked at each other, and then she still said, "Why don't you go out and take some street scenes of the night market? I'll wait here."

Colleagues were a little weird at first? Why did Li Feier stay and wait?

But soon I saw that Li Fei'er's daughter came over, and she immediately understood that she wanted to stay with her daughter.

Some people on the TV station felt that it was really anxious to wait, so most of them went out and took pictures of the scenery of the Lao Cai Night Market outside.

When Yang Xiaoxi saw her mother staying, she naturally smiled and pulled her mother to the children's side, beside Feng Ruoruo's mother, grandma and grandfather, as well as Chen Yaofei's grandparents.

Li Fei'er smiled and said to Su Jinrong: "Uncle Rong, it may still be a bit difficult to be Chef Feng today."

Su Jinrong shook his head and said, "It's okay, he can."

Feng Ruoruo also said: "Yes, my father can definitely do it."

Yang Xiaoxi immediately cheered his good friends: "Of course, Uncle Feng is the best."

Chen Yaofei also said: "Yes, Uncle Feng is the best."

Li Feier saw the three little girls making a fuss, and said with a smile: "You three little girls, naturally think that Ruoruo's dad is great, because you eat Ruoruo's dad's delicious snacks every day."

The three little girls giggled together.

Li Fei'er then chatted with Su Jinrong again and asked him more about the inheritance of Su Ji.

Su Jinrong has no problem speaking now, that is, it will be slower to narrate, but it happens to have more time now.

Regarding the inheritance of Su Ji, Su Jinrong did not conceal anything, and directly told some of the past events.

Although the photographer is not here, Li Feier still listens carefully and records some important details.

This kind of chat interview makes everyone more relaxed. Su Jinrong's narration, other people in the restaurant also regarded it as listening to the story, and they listened with gusto without knowing it.

The earliest ancestor of Su Ji was also a palace cook, but what is more special is that Su Jiazu was recruited into the palace halfway through.

Su Jiazushang was originally the private cook of a certain Jiangnan official's mansion. One time, when the emperor at that time visited the Jiangnan, he happened to live in the Jiangnan official's mansion.

In order to please the emperor, officials naturally provided the best food and clothing.

At that time, Su Jiazu was in the back kitchen and presented the emperor with a very amazing cherry meat.

The method of the cherry meat offered by Su Jiazu is different from that of many people at that time. The taste is soft and glutinous, not very sweet and greasy, and there is a hint of sourness that is very flavorful.

At that time, the emperor was very happy when he ate it, and he wanted to summon the cook and gave him a great reward.

When the emperor finished his inspection in Jiangnan and returned, he brought the Su family ancestor back to the capital.

Speaking of this, everyone in the restaurant listened with gusto, and everyone was even more surprised by such a legend.

Su Jinrong intentionally paused when he said that.

Grandpa Chen Yaofei inserted a sentence and said: "This is also a peaceful step."

After hearing this, Su Jinrong smiled and shook his head: "Brother Chen, I went to the capital, but it's not true."

Hearing such a turning point, I really made everyone look forward to it. Obviously, he has already won the emperor's appreciation and brought people back to the capital. Why is it said that it is not a peaceful rise?

Then Su Jinrong continued.

It turned out that after Su Jiazu was waited in the capital, because there was no suitable location for placement, and the royal kitchens at that time had a fixed family, so Su Jiazu went to a foreign cook, and he did not have a foothold in the imperial dining room. Ground.

After the emperor took the person back, he did not let the ancestor of the Su family enter the imperial dining room, but arranged for him to live outside the palace.

Su Jinrong said indifferently: "The emperor asks for something, orders people to be recruited into the palace, waits for a meal, and is rewarded, then sent out of the palace."

Hearing this, the restaurant was silent, and everyone was surprised at how weirdly get along.

A cook so loved by the emperor was not even arranged to work as a servant in the imperial dining room. He didn't even say that he would reward a more prominent official. Is he using such a trick to send him out of the palace if he doesn't need it?

Su Jinrong slowly continued to the following.

In fact, the process is relatively plain, that is, in some palaces, grand banquets, Su Jiazu will be called into the palace.

Even Su Jiazu personally acted as the chef of the highest standard "Thousand Old Feast" at that time.

Hearing this, it really made many people feel excited.

Everyone had never expected that Su Jiazu had such a glorious past.

But after finishing this paragraph, Su Jinrong said peacefully: "Don't be excited, that paragraph is rumors of the ancestors, there are joking elements, and the Su family has no evidence.

Listening to Su Jinrong's words, Li Fei'er said: "Uncle Rong, you can't say that. Maybe it's true? Besides, the age is indeed a little longer. If there is no evidence, we will just listen to it as a story."

Su Jinrong smiled and nodded: "Yes, everyone, be a story."

After telling the story about the ancestors who do not know the true or false, Su Jinrong talked about the true first generation of Su Ji, that is, the one who founded Su Ji.

In the first generation, Su Ji was nothing more than a street snack shop. At that time, it was just to make ends meet.

Su Jinrong smiled and said: "I heard my father said that at that time Su Ji cooked all meals in the morning, midnight, and evening. It was very hard, but he insisted on craftsmanship and quality."

After the efforts of the first two generations, Su Ji really began to rise to the third generation, that is, the generation of Su Jinrong's grandfather.

Su Jinrong's grandfather was a restless person when he was young.

Later, he participated in the top domestic culinary competition at that time and successfully won the grand prize and was selected as the chef team for the state banquet.

That was the first person in charge of the state banquet of Su Ji.

However, Grandpa Su Jinrong was very old when he participated in the state banquet. Later, his father passed on the craftsmanship to Su Jinrong and died soon, which did not really bring much glory to Su Ji.

It was Su Jinrong's father who really made Su Ji's rise and brought great brilliance.

It can be said that without the help of his parents, and relying solely on his own efforts, he made a name for himself when he was still very young and was successfully selected into the state banquet chef group.

In the past, including Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi, they only knew that their grandfather had participated in state banquets.

But today Su Jinrong said: "My father, back then, participated in more than one state banquet, the last time, it was the chef."

It was also the first time for Su Ruoxi to hear her father talk about this. This made Su Ruoxi understand why some of the experiences of grandfather seemed so a little bit incompatible?

It turned out that grandpa participated in the state banquet more than once, and he was promoted step by step in the state banquet chef group.

This is a very good explanation ~www.readwn.com~ why the uncle who came from the dealer will respect his grandfather so much.

After all, I really want to talk about it, just like Zhuang Daozhong himself said, he is regarded as the apprentice of the Su family. However, because he participated in the state banquet together, the Su family did not consider them to be a master and apprentice, but regarded the two as colleagues.

Listening to Su Jinrong's account of Su Ji's ups and downs, everyone in the restaurant seems to be immersed in the past scenes.

Really unconsciously respect Su Ji, and everyone is increasingly looking forward to what kind of lion head Feng Yifan, as the sixth-generation leader, will show?
