Zhu Wan was really confused! falcon
Could it be...that my rank is too low and I don't realize how powerful Fu Chu is?
Thinking of this, Zhu Wan became a little silent.
Even if he refused to believe anyone, he had to believe his teacher's earnest advice.
In the past two years of studying with the teacher, all his understanding and mastery of cooking came from the teacher.
Zhu Wan couldn't help but sigh.
Maybe... I am really a little too proud.
After all, he has just stepped out of school and is completely a frog in the well. falcon
...
At this time, Zhang Jiaxin hurriedly walked into the baking area and said to Zhu Wan: "Xiao Zhu, I will assign you a task."
Zhu Wan stood up quickly: "Chef Zhang, what's going on!"
Zhang Jiaxin said hurriedly: "I just received a notification from Chef Yao that Chef Liu is coming over. It is said that he will arrive tomorrow. He will come directly to the store the day after tomorrow! At that time, the kitchen will send a few people with good image to serve as Receptionist, I plan to make you a cook!"
After Zhu Wan heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Chef Zhang, who is Chef Liu you are talking about?"
Zhang Jiaxin said excitedly: "Liu Yongping! You have heard of it, right? The number one person in Fuchengchun!"
After finishing his sentence, Zhang Jiaxin realized that he was a little too excited! falcon
But there is no way, the person who is going to the store the day after tomorrow is Liu Yongping, Chef Liu!
Here in Bei'an, no, in the entire provincial capital, when it comes to Jiangyu Banquet, no one will be unfamiliar with the three words Liu Yongping!
Fuchengchun is the first person to list Jiangyu cooking skills on the Songbei District Intangible Cultural Heritage List after five generations of inheritance!
It is also the first to integrate the concept of promoting river fish culture into every scene of the restaurant and the dining process of diners, making tasting river fish a cultural influence of gourmet food.
He is the spokesperson who officially promotes Kaijiang fish cooking in this province and is loved by the Chinese people.
All in all, he has too much halo and honor.
Speaking of Kaijiangyu, Chef Liu has to be mentioned. falcon
Although Zhu Wan is not a local, his hometown is also from this province. Before he learned cooking, he had heard of Chef Liu. Although he couldn’t remember his name, when it came to Fucheng Chun, he was the first person to know it, even when he was a child. Son, it’s also familiar.
Fuchengchun is a very famous fish restaurant in the provincial capital, with a longer history than Chollima.
Since the application for intangible cultural heritage was successful, more and more branches have been opened, but when it comes to the time-honored and authentic Kaijiang Fish Banquet, the first thing people think of is the main store in the provincial capital.
Hearing that he would have the opportunity to meet Liu Yongping, Zhu Wan was also a little excited: "Really? Chef Liu is actually coming to our place?"
Zhang Jiaxin quickly said with a smile: "Isn't that right? I heard that Chef Liu used to be good friends with the father of our shop owner. I just have time this year, so the boss specially invited him over!"
After receiving Zhang Jiaxin's confirmation reply, Zhu Wan suddenly became excited.
I actually got to meet Chef Liu! falcon
This is really something worth getting excited about.
After all, in the local area, as long as they are learning cooking, there is no one who does not admire and love Liu Yongping. He is the idol of all local chefs!
Zhang Jiaxin looked at Zhu Wan, smiled, and asked, "Work more quickly these two days and free up your time when the time comes. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhu Wan nodded: "Understood! Don't worry, I will definitely handle all the work smoothly when the time comes!"
"But... Chef Zhang, are all of us in the kitchen going to receive the reception?"
Zhang Jiaxin shook his head: "That's not true. In the back kitchen, Chef Zhao and Chef Gu are definitely inseparable, and Chef Fu has to stay too, otherwise no one will be responsible for the baking area. I just went over to greet them. Really Chef Yao has to do the reception."
Zhu Wan said excitedly: "It's okay, Chef Zhang, just call me when the time comes!"
Zhang Jiaxin just liked Zhu Wan's cleverness. Hearing this, he said, "Okay, I'll tell you later."
Let me tell you the specific arrangements, and pay attention to the specific time when the time comes. "
...
As the person in charge of Fucheng Chun Corporation, Liu Yongping is also the leader in the province's catering industry and is a well-known food promotion figure across the country!
His usual schedule is very busy.
This time when I returned to my hometown in Bei'an, I was invited to attend the funeral of a deceased friend.
His life has been smooth and smooth. Fame and wealth seem to be destined for him. He has a family and noble people to help him, and he can move steadily and freely step by step.
When a person is rich, famous, profitable, and lacks everything, family and friendship become the most important things to him. falcon
People are often like this. The older they get, the more they value friendship.
After Liu Yongping attended the funeral of his old friend, various scenes from his youth could not help but emerge before his eyes.
Those few old friends I had made were either deceased or dying. Thinking about them makes me feel extremely sad.
This time I wanted to come over to visit the descendants of my late friend, and I was also driven by the sad mood at the funeral.
I want to see if my old friend’s descendants need help and care, and how they are doing now.
Liu Yongping's identity was displayed there, and his every move was followed by people, who shouted at him during the trip.
As soon as he asked to go to the Maxima Hotel, someone immediately compiled all the current news about Maxima and handed it to him. falcon
When he learned that Chollima had also sent people to attend this year's Provincial Food Association annual meeting, this matter immediately attracted Liu Yongping's attention.
Because his apprentice happened to serve as a judge for the Provincial Food Association’s video competition this year and also participated in the award ceremony.
The cooking video that Fu Yu participated in at that time was very novel in content and the cooking operations were particularly superb!
Liu Yongping's apprentice was full of praise for this and even sent this competition video to Liu Yongping.
I heard that the contestants were from Chollima, but the dishes they cooked were not the specialty dishes of their own restaurants.
Liu Yongping's first thought at the time was that the store was not managed well and people's hearts were unstable!
In fact, the reason why Fu Yu did not choose the store's special dishes in the video contest was mainly because he considered two factors. falcon
First of all, he himself is not well-known. If the cooking video is not novel enough in content, it may not be enough to attract the attention of the judges. He may not even be able to pass the audition, because others may not recognize the cooking methods of common dishes.
Secondly, he himself is not very outstanding in cooking skills. As he does more and more tasks, the types of skills he acquires become more and more comprehensive. This makes him suddenly realize that there is no limit to the sea of cooking. Learn as you go, this sentence is the truth!
With his cooking skills, he may be very good in the eyes of the people around him, but there are people outside the world, and maybe in the eyes of others, he is nothing at all.
It's extremely rare to reach the top in one go in the culinary world, and most people do it slowly and steadily.
Fu Yu caught the attention of the judges by virtue of the eye-catching content selection in the competition video, and was subsequently recommended to Liu Yongping.
...
In fact, Liu Yongping didn't know that after watching Fu Yu's cooking video, his apprentice was somewhat surprised by Fu Yu's operating techniques, but he was somewhat undecided about whether to recommend it to Liu Yongping. falcon
Should I show the video to Liu Yongping?
To be honest, the two dishes Fu Yu chose for the competition were very unique, and because they were difficult to cook, they were rare.
And famous chefs like Liu Yongping are well-informed and have the opportunity to witness and taste all kinds of rare dishes.
Even the disciples who followed him were all very visionary.
It was precisely because he had some knowledge of the dishes cooked in the video that his apprentice was surprised to find after watching it that the participating chef was far superior to him in certain cooking techniques.
This is why Fu Yu is not famous
The reason why a chef can actually stand out in the Provincial Annual Meeting Cooking Video Competition.
Liu Yongping's apprentice struggled with the cooking video for a while, but decided to send it to his master for a look. falcon
Because he remembered that Liu Yongping was very interested in the cooking method of one of the dishes.
And just as he expected, Liu Yongping did become very interested in the young chef after watching the entire cooking video.
The cooking operations of these two dishes alone completely attracted Liu Yongping.
Especially the grasp of some details, even Liu Yongping was amazed when he saw it!
After watching it twice, Liu Yongping had to admit that this contestant's skills in binding ingredients were even far superior to his own.
Liu Yongping had never seen this exquisite binding technique before, and he never imagined that it could be done like this.
With this thought of amazement, Liu Yongping watched a cooking video that lasted nearly forty minutes even after editing, no less than five times that day. falcon
After reading it, he felt... that he had been brainwashed...
That's right!
After watching it carefully, he actually felt that he recognized and appreciated many of the other party's cooking operations, and even the handling of many details of the other party. If he hadn't watched it repeatedly and thought about it carefully, he wouldn't have even discovered the mystery!
This shocked Liu Yongping!
When I first watched the video, because the operator was very young, he just watched it with the idea of appreciating outstanding juniors and commenting on it.
But now, his thoughts are completely different from those before watching it!
Because he discovered that the young chef competing in the competition was really talented! falcon
This gave Liu Yongping a rare thought of paying attention.
Liu Yongping directly called his apprentice and asked straight to the point: "Zijing, after watching this competition video, what do you think?"
Dai Zijing hurriedly said truthfully: "Master... I feel that this person's cooking techniques are much better than mine in many skills. And to be honest, I feel like I can learn from his videos when I watch them." , and benefited a lot.”
After Liu Yongping heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "To be selected for the Provincial Food Association's selection and compete for the top three works, you must be of high quality!"
...
Because Fu Yu's competition video left a very deep impression on Liu Yongping.
So this time I happened to come to Bei'an and planned to go to Chollima to visit the son of an old friend. Liu Yongping couldn't help but remember this young outstanding chef. falcon
Liu Yongping also brought his apprentice Dai Zijing with him on this trip.
When there were no outsiders around, Liu Yongping explained: "Zijing, when you go to buy a meeting gift, buy an extra gift suitable for young people. I am going to meet the chef named Fu Yu."
Dai Zijing was very shocked when he heard that Liu Yongping was going to the Chollima Hotel. He never expected that Liu Yongping would actually prepare to meet the competing chef.
The next time is to contact Dong Juntian, the boss of Chollima, to inform the friends who are going to accompany him, and to prepare the vehicle and other itineraries.
With nothing to do, Liu Yongping specially called up the competition video and watched it carefully several times.
Every time he looks at it, he will find something different!
I feel more and more that the chef participating in the competition is actually of a very high level. falcon
If it weren't for the image of a cooking chef that can be seen in the video, no matter what Liu Yongping thought, he would never have expected that such superb cooking skills would come from such a young chef.
This man looked to be in his early twenties at most.
To be so outstanding at such a young age, he should be the descendant of a family of chefs, or else he is the direct disciple of some famous chef, right?
As the number one person in Fuchengchun, Liu Yongping has never given up on perfecting his cooking skills in addition to studying river fish cooking over the years.
The progress of cooking is not just to study one cooking skill, but to understand in many aspects. The more cooking skills you master, the more delicious dishes you can cook.
Liu Yongping was greatly impressed by this young chef's many details and ideas in cooking operations, as well as his cooking techniques, and even expressed his appreciation for it.
Even if there are some shortcomings, we can still communicate and discuss them. falcon
After watching the video, Liu Yongping put down his phone, leaned against the car seat, and looked out the window.
This trip really gave people a sense of hope despite the sadness.
He is now very much looking forward to meeting and communicating with this young chef named Fu Yu!
...
Chollima Hotel learned that Liu Yongping was going to visit the hotel and immediately organized a grand welcome ceremony.
The banners, with large gilded characters, were rushed out and hung directly on the Rainbow Bridge at the entrance of the hotel.
This may be the happiest time for Dong Juntian since taking over Chollima. falcon
Being able to have Liu Yongping come to the store in person shows that the relationship between the two families is in place, and his nephew has also been recognized by the other party. Maybe this meeting will lead to some opportunities.
Especially a celebrity chef of Liu Yongping’s level!
Therefore, Dong Juntian attached great importance to this time and specially called Yao Shi back and asked him to be responsible for preparing for the reception. He must do this well.
This move made everyone in the store look forward to and nervous at the same time.
However, with Yao Shi in charge, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, which made everyone feel relieved.
The main reason is that Yao Shi is indeed very capable. With him, there is a backbone.
In the minds of everyone in the kitchen, the boss pays them wages, and as for work allocation, they must follow Yao Shi's arrangements. falcon
