Life is a Game

Peng Changping wanted to instruct his apprentices and grandchildren on how to deal with jelly-dried jelly in clear soup. At first, Jiang Feng thought that choosing a day would be better than hitting the sun. After all this time, he was able to observe and learn Tan Jiacai's unique recipe for handling jelly-dried jelly. . Then the chefs of Yongheju told him with practical actions that he was thinking too much.

Not to mention jelly, he couldn't even see Peng Changping.

The chefs of Yonghe Juli Tan’s line of food are not too many, not too few, there are still a dozen or so, and it is not a problem to surround Peng Changping. Because of Peng Changping's words, Chef Chi can't occupy the best position and can only watch from the side, but he can also occupy the best side by virtue of his seniority, which is better than Jiang Feng who can only look at the side. How many.

In front of him was Chicken Soup, which did not need to be touched but needed constant attention. Next to it was a group of people. In the middle of the crowd was Peng Changping, who was explaining and handling jelly vegetables. In this case, Jiang Feng could only stare at the chicken soup and listen to Peng Changping's non-physical explanation all day.

"Look, this bird's nest is soaked in warm water for more than three hours, and then rinsed repeatedly with clean water to remove impurities. Although the color of the bird's nest soaked in warm water is not as white as the one raised with alkaline water, it can retain the best quality of the bird's nest. Original taste and texture, only this kind of bird's nest can be soft and sticky when steamed with water and soup." Peng Changping's voice came from the crowd.

"But Master, we have also made it according to your method. When it comes out of the pan, it can't be soft and sticky. Although it is smooth, it can't taste the most essential crispness you emphasized before. The taste is also..." Before Chef Chi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Peng Changping's sigh.

"You watch me do it first, and then ask after you finish reading."

Then Jiang Feng heard the following conversation——

"This clear soup should be made with chicken, duck, elbow, scallops, and Jinhua ham. I have seen and tasted the soup you make these days, and it is not bad, but the amount of scallops and Jinhua ham is a little too big, which will overwhelm the guests. Be careful when pouring clear soup. There are skills when pouring clear soup, so watch carefully."

"See clearly?"

"Understood?"

"You have to watch this step carefully, and pay attention to the order in which I put the seasonings."

"Add soup with water, the amount of soup and water is also important, you will see clearly later."

"here……"

"..."

Jiang Feng:?

Report to the teacher, I didn't see it!

After Peng Changping's teaching, Jiang Feng only learned this, this and this. As for which one, Jiang Feng himself didn't know which one was before seeing the teaching video.

However, Jiang Feng himself never thought that he could steal Tan Jiacai's teacher in such a short period of time, as long as he was destined, he would always see it in detail in his memory. He hasn't even fully eaten his own food, and if he runs out to eat other people's food, he will most likely die of it, and the rest will be beaten to death.

There are many dishes in the Yanchi banquet, but there are also many people who help. You do a little, I do a little, and the most important thing is handed over to Peng Changping, and the progress is very fast. Jiang Feng guarded the pot of chicken soup until four o'clock in the afternoon. After the chicken soup was confiscated, Jiang Feng lost his job. Lu Sheng led Xu Cheng to the office to pick tea and never came back. Jiang Feng, who had nothing to do, was afraid that staying in the kitchen would get in the way, so he went to find them.

Jiang Feng came to the door of Lu Sheng's office with ease, and found that the door was open, and faint laughter could be heard. Jiang Feng stepped in and saw Zhang Chu, Xu Cheng, Lu Sheng, and Zhang Zhiyun who were sitting drinking tea and chatting.

The smile just now came from Zhang Chu.

It turned out that Zhang Zhiyun and Zhang Chu had already arrived, but for some reason they didn't go to the kitchen but came directly to Lu Sheng's office.

Seeing Jiang Feng coming, Lu Sheng quickly got up, asked him to sit down and asked him what kind of tea he would like to drink, and made him a cup of Pu'er without waiting for Jiang Feng's answer—he knew very well that Jiang Feng didn't understand tea.

"Senior Jiang Feng." Zhang Zhiyun nodded to Jiang Feng in greeting.

Jiang Feng sat down: "What did you say just now? As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Grandpa Zhang laughing."

"I told some funny stories about when I was an apprentice, but they didn't laugh at me as a storyteller." Zhang Chu laughed, obviously in a good mood, and had a good chat with Lu Sheng and Xu Cheng just now.

Xu Cheng followed Zhang Chu's words and said: "I didn't expect you to be Jin Carpenter's apprentice. I bought a set of golden nanmu tables and chairs made by Jin Carpenter during the Republic of China at an auction a few years ago. The craftsmanship is absolutely nothing to talk about. It’s a pity that the chair broke a piece of wood, and I found a master to connect it, but I always felt that something was wrong.”

Zhang Chu began to analyze seriously: "It may be that there is a problem with the way of receiving it. My master's craftsmanship is also unique, and he was the only one in Beiping city back then. Is your chair in Beiping? If it is, I will be free tomorrow to help You see, but I haven't done carpentry in years, so I don't know if I can help."

Xu Cheng shook his head: "That set of tables and chairs is in my son's house, not in Beiping."

Zhang Chu was stunned: "That's a pity. Although my master made a lot of things, there are not many big ones like a set of golden nanmu tables and chairs. He went there early. If it wasn't for Manager Yin's Neither Zhang Qiangong nor his senior brother will..."

Jiang Feng and Xu Cheng didn't understand, but Lu Sheng did. Seeing that the originally joyful atmosphere began to turn into a serious one, Lu Sheng quickly made jokes: "By the way, Jiang Feng, how is the kitchen? Are there any ingredients?"

"No little, Master Peng is still preparing the swallow-wing mat. I have nothing to do, so I came out for fear of causing trouble." Jiang Feng said, "Grandpa Zhang, why don't you go to the kitchen first, Master Peng must be very happy to see you .”

"I went to see it, and I went to see it when I first arrived. I thought Peng Changping was surrounded by so many people, so I guess he was busy and didn't bother him. When he was young, he looked ordinary and ordinary. I didn't expect I still listen to people with aura when I’m old, if Boss Lu hadn’t told me that it was him, I wouldn’t dare to recognize him.” Zhang Chu sighed, “I just don’t know if he can recognize me.”

"Time makes people old. Back then, I was recognized as a handsome young man in the nearby alleys. Guixiang liked me because I was handsome."

Zhang Zhiyun: ...

"Grandpa, didn't you say you were going to eat at Shunhe Building before you came? Let me see if I can make a reservation now." Zhang Zhiyun began to change the subject.

It's a pity that the topic was changed too bluntly, and everyone could see it.

Jiang Feng: ...

You may not believe it, but your grandfather was really handsome back then, and your grandmother even knocked on the window frame to chase him.

"What to do in Shunhe Building? If you go to Shunhe Building, it is better to go to Tongdeju. If it is not possible, you can go to Babaozhai. If Master Zhang, you want to taste the old Shunhelou, I will help you contact the front of Babaozhai. The chef will see if he can book a table for you." Xu Cheng said.

Zhang Chu:?

Jiang Feng:?

Is there something wrong with my ears or something wrong with your logic? Why do you have to contact the former chef of Babaozhai if you want to eat the taste of Shunhelou?

Could it be that Ling Guangzhao's poaching business ability was so strong that he could even poach the chef of an old restaurant, one of the five emperors in Beiping.

But having said that, although there are five well-established old restaurants in Beiping that were jokingly called the Five Emperors before the opening of Taifeng Tower (after the opening of Taifeng Tower, it became the Six Emperors), but among the Five Emperors are only Babaozhai and Yonghe. Home is the most famous.

Babaozhai is famous because of its relatively strong strength in the past. Although its strength is not very good now, it will be commercialized and advertised. Yongheju is famous because of the Tan family cuisine, which has always been in the leading position among the five emperors.

The remaining three Zhongde Ju are slightly better, and the other two are rendered like passers-by. In particular, Shunhe Building is simply a bastard, and its status as the Five Emperors has been forgotten by the public all the year round.

Seeing that Jiang Feng and Zhang Chu put a big question mark on his face at the same time, Xu Cheng quickly explained: "It's normal if you don't know, this incident was quite famous and sensational back then, it must have been twenty or thirty years ago, I also heard it from others. The old owner of Shunhelou was too harsh on the chefs. They lived a lot with little money. They wanted to treat people like mules and machines. The chefs left collectively when they couldn’t stay any longer, Babaozhai picked up a large number of chefs who were able to catch up in an instant, and the rest of the chefs were also distributed by other restaurants.”

"As soon as the chef left, Shun He Lou's signature dishes and unique skills were exposed. Later, the owner changed and hired other chefs at a high price. However, because the work was too good back then, the reputation was ruined. The brand and reputation are still there, but the business has not been warm. Not popular. If you are thinking about the taste of the past, you might as well go to Babaozhai. Half of the apprentices and grandchildren of the old masters in Shunhelou are in Babaozhai, but the craftsmanship is not as good as before." Xu Chengdao.

"It's a pity." Zhang Chu sighed, "Back then, the most famous places in Beiping were Shunhe Building and Yonghe Residence. The last time I came here, the schedule was too slow and I didn't go well. I didn't go to Shunhe Building for a meal. I originally wanted to try it this time, but I didn't expect ah……"

Jiang Feng was also taken aback when he heard that. He didn't expect Babaozhai to be so rich. No wonder Ling Guangzhao was so keen on poaching. It turned out to be the corporate culture of the restaurant.

He is a self-proclaimed capitalist. Compared with Shunhelou's former boss, he is not only a capitalist but also a philanthropist.

Real capitalists are black even in blood.
