Chapter 168 Chef Xu doubts his life

Xu Youliang nodded, "Yes, it's a signature dish we just launched today."

“Just order this.”

"Okay, please wait a moment, my dear guests."

Xu Youliang took the written order and found Zhou Qingde in the kitchen: "Master Zhou, Master Xu and Manager Zhang from Cuihualou came to our place and ordered a dish of fried double crispy."

"understood."

When Zhou Qingde heard that the Cuihualou people had arrived, he handed the pot in his hand to his apprentice to look after, and he came to Wang Jianye, "Master Wang, Master Xu from Cuihualou is here, and he brought their manager with him. This time it depends on your performance!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Wang Jianye cleaned the pot and made a fried double-crispy dish that was of state-banquet quality.

[Ding, experience value +1]

[Ding, the state-level oil explosion made by the host triggers a special effect, and the life span is increased by one day. ]

"It actually triggered a special effect. You two are lucky."

Wang Jianye muttered as he put the dishes on the plate.

Soon a waiter brought the food to Chef Xu’s table in the front hall.

Looking at the dish on the plate, Chef Xu frowned. He thought that the dish made by Fengzeyuan would be terrible, but he didn't expect that after the dish was served, the dish was quite beautiful. He just didn't know how it would taste...

After picking up the chopsticks and taking a bite, Chef Xu fell silent.

"What's wrong, Master Xu?"

Manager Zhang hasn't tasted it yet, but looking at the expression of his chef Xu, he feels a little strange. Could it be that it doesn't taste good?

So Manager Zhang also picked up his chopsticks and tasted it, and then fell into silence like Chef Xu. This dish is so delicious! It's even better than his signature deep-fried double crispy dish!
After a long while, Chef Xu finally spoke, somewhat doubting his life, "How did they make it? It's so much more delicious than mine..."

In front of the delicious food, Chef Xu did not have the slightest idea of ​​quibbling or being stubborn. He was just wondering why this dish was so much better than the one he made.

He had obviously been practicing very hard and for such a long time, and he was quite confident in his cooking. However, after tasting the dish from Fengzeyuan, he couldn't help but doubt his life.

At this time, Zhou Qingde came to the front hall without even taking off his apron.

"Master Xu, how do the fried double crisps we make here compare to the ones you make at home?"

Zhou Qingde looked at Chef Xu happily and asked.

Chef Xu from Cuihualou only felt like he was slapped in the face. He thought Fengzeyuan couldn't make this dish. What he didn't expect was that Fengzeyuan not only made it, but the level was even higher than that of Cuihualou!

"Well done, better than what I did."

Chef Xu had to admit.

Zhou Qingde was even happier. "If it's delicious, come back. We welcome you. If you can't eat such delicious food in Cuihualou, you can come to Fengzeyuan. What do you think?"

"..."

Chef Xu was upset, but even more curious, "Can I ask who made this dish?"

When he arrived at Fengze Garden, he did not look at the menu, but asked the waiter directly if this dish was available. After knowing that the dish was available, he ordered it directly without knowing who made this dish.

"This won't work."

Zhou Qingde shook his head like a rattle. If it was something else, he might have shown off in front of Chef Xu, but he didn't dare to show off when it came to Master Wang, for fear that these two people would poach Master Wang at all costs.

"It should be Master Wang, right?"

Chef Xu guessed.

Although Fengzeyuan has many experts, they were not able to make this dish well before. Now a chef from Fengzeyuan has made it, so he must be a new chef.

In this case, it can only be Master Wang Jianye.

"It's really him."

Since someone had guessed it right away, Zhou Qingde no longer had to keep his mouth shut. In fact, he couldn't keep it a secret either. After all, one could tell who made the dish by looking at the menu...

"Master Wang is the pillar of our company. Forget about trying to poach him." "..."

Chef Xu and Manager Zhang left Fengze Garden.

Zhou Qingde watched them leave, feeling so happy. He said goodbye and said: "Goodbye."

Return to the kitchen.

Zhou Qingde came to Wang Jianye and described the expressions and reactions of the two people in Cuihua Tower in detail.

"Thank you, Master Wang, for helping Fengze Garden stand up!"

"You're welcome."

For Wang Jianye, it is just a piece of cake. He can easily elevate any dish to the level of a state banquet.

No matter how hard others work, they cannot match his incredible talent. With just a thought, he can easily surpass the results of their hard work. It's so despairing.

……

The next day, Wang Jianye got up early as usual. After washing up, he went to the stall outside and ate a scallion pancake, five hot buns just taken from the steamer, and a bowl of tofu pudding.

"Uncle, why do you use cooked onions in these buns?"

"What are cooked onions?"

The uncle selling the buns didn't understand. These buns were all made at home. There were no semi-finished products these days that could be easily bought and steamed in steamers. He made all the buns himself, getting up early and working late.

Wang Jianye explained, "The onions used in making dumplings are divided into cooked onions and raw onions. Cooked onions are made by chopping the chopped onions and mixing them into the stuffing. This changes the taste of the onions.

As for raw onions, just sprinkle a layer on the filling, and then when you make dumplings, wrap the onions in them. This is considered raw onions. Dumplings made with raw onions taste better than those made with cooked onions. All the larger dumpling shops make them this way. You can try it next time you make dumplings. "

The old man selling buns thought it was worth a try. After all, this method is simple, just put the chopped green onions at the end, "Young man, what do you do?"

"I am just an ordinary cook."

Come to Fengze Garden to work.

Wang Jianye gave some instructions to his five disciples.

The apprentices all studied very seriously and made rapid progress, which gave Master Wang Jianye a lot of positive feedback in the process of teaching his apprentices, and he became more and more motivated the more he taught.

……

Cuihua Tower.

Yesterday, Chef Xu went to Fengze Garden and tried a dish of Fried Crispy Dishes made by Chef Wang. He was very depressed when he found out that this dish was even better than his.

After all, he had worked so hard to master this skill, but he was easily surpassed by Master Wang from Fengze Garden. No matter who it was, they would not feel comfortable.

He didn't sleep well that night.

When I arrived at Cuihua Building this morning, I was late.

"Master Xu is actually late. This is not common."

"Shh, keep your voice down so no one can hear you."

"..."

Although Chef Xu was slapped in the face by Wang Jianye, he still has a high prestige in Cuihua Building.

He usually looks serious, in other words, he has a stern face and never treats anyone well. All the chefs in the kitchen of Cuihua Building are a little afraid of him.

However, this does not include the new kitchen helper, Sha Zhu.

Some time ago, after Sha Zhu was invited by Manager Zhang to work as a kitchen helper at Cuihua Building, he had heard that Chef Xu had a bad temper, but he didn't feel that way.

During these days, Chef Xu was very nice to him. Not only did he teach him how to cook various dishes, but he also gave him opportunities to practice. Sha Zhu felt that he was a good person and was not at all like what others described him to be.

"Master He, I want to ask you something."

When Chef Xu arrived, he called Sha Zhu to the lounge next door.
