Chapter 68 Big Kitchen

"Go! Of course!"

Zhou Huilan agreed very readily.

It took her two days of selling box lunches to make back three hundred yuan, and she also had to put in two hard-working mornings. This was only one night's work, so it was worth it no matter how you calculate it.

But after all, Zhou Huilan has never cooked a banquet. Although she can indeed cook some dishes, since it is a cooperation, the ugly words have to be said first, "I have never been such a chef. Although you have tasted my dishes, but like this

Can we go to a banquet for provincial leaders with our dishes?"

"Some of the most popular dishes in the store have been sold in your lunch boxes. Besides, there is a dedicated plate arranger in the kitchen. All you need to do is make the food taste good."

"Then if I mess up, I'll give you money?"

Zhang Yongqiang couldn't help but laughed out loud. He shook his head and took out three brand-new hundred-dollar bills from his pocket, "Here! I can give them to you now!"

The smell of ink on new banknotes makes people energetic, and Zhou Huilan no longer hesitates, "Deal!"

With three hundred yuan in her pocket, Zhou Huilan felt extremely at ease.

After selling the box lunch, she went directly to the state-owned hotel.

I have been here many times before, but today is the first time I actually entered the kitchen.

It is no different from an ordinary kitchen, except that there are more stoves, larger chopping boards, more pots and pans of various sizes than in a supply and marketing cooperative, and the dazzling array of ingredients is also staggering.

Turning around, the back chefs, who were not standing straight, were all stunned when they saw Zhou Huilan.

"Mr. Zhang, is this the Dana you are talking about?"

"You are so young, can you do it?"

"Girl, which chef brought you here? How many cuisines can you cook? How many dishes can you cook? What are your plans for the banquet tonight?"

Standing here is not the entire kitchen staff of the state-owned hotel, but only the small group that supports Zhang Yongqiang. Those who openly listened to Niu Guangde's words, and since Niu Guangde asked for sick leave at home, they all also asked for leave one by one.

When there was no soy milk, the breakfast business in the state-owned hotel was not booming, but it could still be maintained. Now that there is no soy milk, there are many people who come to curse in the morning, and no one buys anything. Zhang Yongqiang simply gives breakfast to

It stopped, and now only small stir-fried dishes are left, so we have to rely even more on the master chef.

But Niu Guangde obviously didn't take Zhang Yongqiang seriously.

Not only did he not take him seriously, he also wanted to persuade his subordinates to drive Zhang Yongqiang away. Who could agree to this? But Niu Guangde had the confidence because he had skills.

Zhou Huilan had never been a serious chef, and she didn't understand anything about seniority in the kitchen. She widened her eyes blankly and looked at Zhang Yongqiang.

"Everyone has drunk the soy milk she made. Now she sells lunch boxes in front of the Central Hospital. I have eaten it a few times and it tastes very good."

"Mr. Zhang, aren't you kidding!" The master with the whitest hair standing at the front even took off his apron.

"Master Ge, I'm not messing around." Zhang Yongqiang picked up the apron that was thrown on the case, with a look of helplessness on his face, "I'm afraid Man Anning won't be able to find another master like Master Niu, but he is sick.

Well, Master Zhou is just here to help us out. If this matter can go smoothly, we will all be happy. If this matter cannot go well, then I will get out of here. You are just doing this because of the situation."

"Everyone, please give me a face today and cooperate with Master Zhou. Although she doesn't understand the rules of the banquet, she cooks the dishes really well. This is not a good method. I can only ask you to bear with me today." After Zhang Yongqiang finished speaking, he put his hands on it.

The apron was handed to Master Ge, and then he bowed deeply to everyone.

The masters looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally their eyes fell on Zhou Huilan.

"Sure! Let's give Mr. Zhang this face today!"

After settling down the chefs in the kitchen, Zhang Yongqiang didn't stay any longer.

He walked on the front foot, and the masters on the back foot surrounded Zhou Huilan.

"Girl, what is your specialty, or what dish do you cook the most?"

Zhou Huilan thought for a while, "Winter melon and pork ribs soup, spinach and pork liver porridge, rose pig's trotters..."

Master Ge nodded, "Winter melon and pork ribs soup counts as one, and the rose theme can also count as one. Pork liver is inferior and cannot be served at the banquet. For the vegetarian dishes, let's serve a casserole with mixed vegetables, and another one with soup and wolfberry cover. That's four.

.”

"I also learned how to steam duck with ginkgo a few days ago, but it requires white duck and ginkgo to be steamed in a basket. If these ingredients are available, I can still make this."

Master Ge was obviously shocked, "Ginkgo steamed duck... This is a restaurant specialty of the older generation. You, a little girl, think about it for yourself, where did you learn this?"

Zhou Huilan raised her lips and did not answer his words. Instead, she reported another dish that she had always wanted to make but did not have the ingredients, "Ginseng Snow Horse Hoof Cake, which requires ginseng, snow pear, longan meat, and water chestnuts. That's it."

Water chestnuts and sugar cane, are these available?"

"Ginseng, longan meat and water chestnuts are all available, but pears and sugar cane are not available, but you should be able to buy them when you go out this season." The person who spoke was a fair and young man who looked very young.

Zhou Huilan smiled sweetly at him, "Then I'll trouble you, master, to go out for a run."

Once we have started, we will discuss it later and the master chefs will give some advice and come up with a safe dish. Soon, all the sixteen dishes will be made.

Fritillaria golden thread pear, wolfberry stuffed bitter melon, astragalus braised pigeon, ginseng braised yellow croaker...

Chow Huilan never thought that her vague recipe would be presented in this way.

Looking at the busy but well-organized kitchen, Zhou Huilan suddenly understood Niu Guangde's indelible bossiness. Even though he was just cooking, there were so many people helping him to follow your orders. This sense of accomplishment was really unlike any other type of work.

There can be.

The chef assigns the task of preparing dishes. There are red counters, white counters, chopping boards, and serving dishes. The chef is responsible for polishing the various side dishes until they can be put into the pot, and then the master chef takes the spoon and takes the pot. This dish is considered

A chef's handiwork.

The water chestnut cake is stewed into a paste. If you want to keep it at home, you can eat it like this. But if you want to serve it to a banquet, you have to make it look good and put it on the plate.

Zhou Huilan followed curiously and found out that Master Ge didn't cook. He was in charge of the white case.

Sprinkle the fried rice noodles on the chopping board, pour the water chestnut cake paste, wrap it in the steamed glutinous rice flour skin, and roll it into a round shape. Then use a wooden mold to stamp it up, and then use a pointed end and a round heel.

A tool about the same thickness as chopsticks picked out the petals one by one. After a while, a beautiful thousand-petal lotus was placed on the plate.

Zhou Huilan was amazed and couldn't help but clapped her hands.

Everyone who was busy in the kitchen looked at her, and Master Ge couldn't help but give her a look.

"Master Zhou, you are the master master. You have to coordinate tonight's banquet. You are not here to watch the fun."
