Chapter 290 Chen Kejia Comes to Visit
The last second, I was still saying that Wang Jianye, a Shandong cuisine chef, couldn't write a good Sichuan cuisine recipe, and that the quality of the "Sichuan Cuisine Classics" he published was average.
The next second, after opening the first page of the book, Gao Qianjin and Li Hui's eyes widened.
They are Sichuan cuisine chefs, one is a head chef and the other is a head cook.
Having been cooking Sichuan cuisine for decades, I have a very deep understanding and knowledge of it.
You can tell at a glance whether the steps in the recipe are correct and what the quality is.
"Oh my god, is this really written by Master Wang?"
"He is a Shandong cuisine chef, but he understands Sichuan cuisine better than me, a Sichuan cuisine expert!"
"No matter how talented Master Wang is, it takes time to study cooking. It's already very difficult for him to perfect Shandong cuisine. How can he still have time to study Sichuan cuisine?"
“Is it possible that only this Sichuan dish is of high quality, and the other Sichuan dishes are just written there to make up the numbers?”
Li Hui's reminder made Gao Qianjin react.
I immediately turned to the next page and saw Dongpo Elbow.
Just open a page and you will see Mapo Tofu.
Open a random page from it...
After seeing that every Sichuan dish was recorded in great detail and at a very high level.
Gao Qianjin and Li Hui's hope was gone.
"Chef Wang's understanding of Sichuan cuisine seems to be... even deeper than that of me, the chef of a Sichuan restaurant!"
“I think you can remove the word ‘as if’.”
Li Hui sighed.
There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.
Even though he was proud and arrogant, he had to admit defeat.
"Master, this is the recipe that Master Wang just published."
Gao Qianjin brought "Classics of Sichuan Cuisine" to his master, Chef Qian, the head chef of Tianfu Food House.
"Ok?"
After seeing the word "Sichuan cuisine" on the cover of the book, Master Qian's eyes widened:
"Which Master Wang are you talking about?"
"Master Wang from Fengze Garden, Wang Jianye."
Hearing Gao Qianjin's answer, Master Qian hurriedly took the book and read it carefully.
He has been cooking Sichuan cuisine for most of his life, and there are Sichuan chefs in the entire city who are better than him.
But Master Qian never thought that Wang Jianye would be one of them.
After all, Wang Jianye, you learn and cook Shandong cuisine.
Even if you are proficient in a few Sichuan dishes, the number will definitely not be many, so naturally you cannot write a Sichuan cuisine recipe.
"The person who can write this book must have a very high level of Sichuan cuisine...but how could it be written by Master Wang?"
Master Qian found it hard to accept.
Most of the dishes in this book are better than those cooked by this Sichuan chef.
He can only reach the level of a small part of the rest.
……
Xiyuan.
Master Cheng also asked his apprentice Fang Zhilang to buy a book called "Classics of Sichuan Cuisine" from a bookstore outside.
After studying it for a while, I couldn't help but sigh: "Master Wang's understanding of Sichuan cuisine is really profound!"
Even he, a versatile chef who specializes in cooking for senior leaders, can use it to learn Sichuan cuisine.
Fang Zhilang didn't understand: "Master, isn't Master Wang a Shandong cuisine chef? How come the Sichuan cuisine recipes he wrote are so good?"
"Because he is so talented, he can cook any dish as soon as he sees it and becomes proficient after practicing it. He learns dishes very quickly.
Alas, in the time it takes for ordinary people like us to learn one dish, Master Wang might have already learned an entire cuisine..."
Master Cheng is envious.
After hearing Master Cheng's comments, Fang Zhilang was extremely envious.
It would be great if he could have such a talent.
……
Just when the Sichuan Cuisine Classics was published and caused a stir in the chef world, Wang Jianye, the author of the Sichuan Cuisine Classics, was getting ready to go home after get off work.
Among the master and his disciples, only Wang Jianye could bring back meat and vegetables.
Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie can also take meat and vegetables home.
Because they were converted to regular employees in May and promoted to second kitchen masters.
In order to motivate others to improve their cooking skills, the owner of Fengzeyuan rewarded Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie with many benefits, just like he rewarded Wang Jianye.
For example, a bonus of one-third of the salary, lottery tickets for two people, and the ability to take two meat dishes home every day, etc.
I make more money and can eat meat and vegetables every day.
During this period, both brothers Wang Yijun and Cheng Jie gained some weight.
This is especially obvious in Wang Yijun. Wang Yijun came from a poor family, so he was short and had a pale and thin face.
But now, he has become obviously fatter, his face has become rounder, and he looks more and more like a chef.
Riding his bicycle, Wang Jianye happily returned to his courtyard in front of the house.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is even hotter in the kitchen where dozens of stoves are burning at the same time.
After a day's work in that place, no one had any appetite to eat.
Only when I get home and have some quiet time will the hunger come back to me.
After writing "Classics of Fujian Cuisine" for a while, Wang Jianye put away his things and prepared to cook some noodles.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who's coming?"
Wang Jianye walked to the gate of the courtyard in confusion and opened it with a creak.
"Master Wang."
Standing outside the door was the neighbor across the street, Chen Kejia, who had a sweet smile on her face, and next to her was a little fat boy who looked reluctant.
Wang Jianye asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
"It's a neighbor visiting. If it's not convenient now, I'll come another day."
"convenient."
Wang Jianye let the brother and sister walk into his own courtyard.
Chen Kejia saw at a glance that on the cucumber rack on the south side of the yard, there were cucumbers of different sizes and twisted shapes, with a small yellow flower on each cucumber.
"Master Wang, why are you still growing cucumbers?"
"For eating, you planted a crystal persimmon tree in your yard, isn't that for eating?"
As Wang Jianye and Chen Kejia talked, they closed the gate of their own yard and walked inside together.
"Then wait until autumn, when my crystal persimmon tree bears fruit, I'll send some over for you to try."
Chen Kejia approached the cucumber rack and poked a small cucumber on it.
"Pick a few big ones, wash them and let's eat them together."
Wang Jianye even heard the sound of Chen Kejia swallowing her saliva, so how could he not understand her little thoughts.
"Okay, thank you, Master Wang."
After saying that, Chen Kejia picked up three relatively large cucumbers.
The cucumber has small thorns and a small yellow flower on the top.
Chen Kejia took it to the sink, turned on the faucet and washed them one by one.
"Remember to wash them clean. My cucumbers are grown using farmyard manure that I made."
Wang Jianye teased her.
Chen Kejia let out a cry and turned on the faucet again to wash it.
Then she got one, the fat guy got one, and Master Wang also got one.
After Wang Jianye took it, he took a bite of the tip and spit it out, then took a bite of the cucumber and said with a smile:
"Eat it. I'm just kidding. It doesn't use any fertilizer. It's all natural and pollution-free."
Chen Kejia looked at Wang Jianye who was teasing her, showed her little canine teeth, and took a big bite of the cucumber! !
