Food starts from cooking

Chapter 95 Ah, Open Your Mouth! (Please subscribe!)

"it is finally over!"

In the back kitchen, the kitchen assistants and food passers are already exhausted. Although it is a banquet of hundreds of dishes, the problem is that some dishes are made more than one, such as the baked salt chicken and white-cut chicken served at the beginning, both of which are dozens of servings. Along with it, there is also the Pork Belly Chicken Soup Buddha Jumping Over the Wall!

Diners eat from two in the afternoon to ten in the evening, but they are busy from the morning.

So when Mr. Liu Zhang announced that it was over, many people sat down immediately.

"Old man, what kind of physical strength is this...?"

"Yeah, not to say..."

"Freeze said!"

Chefs are physical labor, so their physical fitness is better than ordinary people, especially their stamina, but today these young people are exhausted and paralyzed, but Liu Zhang looks like a normal person!
The most important thing is, how old is someone, it's embarrassing to say it!
Of course, there are tours!
They are really admirable!
Especially those cooks, at first they looked down on Zhou You, thinking that it was only Mr. Liu Zhang who brought in newcomers, but now it seems that they are not bringing in newcomers!

One hundred courses, fifty courses per person, and the menus are posted on the wall.

Those of them in the back kitchen just watched Zhou You cook one by one with their own eyes. The most important thing is that the back kitchen must taste the dishes, so among these help cooks, some of them must have eaten the dishes cooked by Zhou You!

that smell...

I can only say, Nima, are you in your twenties?

And after such a long time, they really persisted, and all the dishes they brought out were labor-intensive, for example, most of them needed to be overturned.

Most importantly, some people even felt that Zhou You's cooking tasted better than Liu Lao's for the same dish.

But no one dared to say that.

Zhou You stretched his waist. Fortunately, he has a steel-like body, and he was rewarded with the ancient Tai Chi boxing method before. He would fight once every day when he got up early. He didn't know how powerful it was. After the first time, there was a hot current in the body, which was very warm.

If things go on like this, Zhou You even feels that even if he is shirtless in winter and stands in the snow, he won't feel the cold!

After washing his hands, the old man said to Zhou You, "Zhou You, go out with me!"

Zhou You shook his head: "I won't go!"

The Hundred Vegetables Banquet is over, Liu Zhang will definitely show up, but Zhou You doesn't want to join in the fun.

Liu Zhang nodded, expressing his understanding, and left the back kitchen.

"Zhou You, thank you!"

It's hard to describe Liu Qingyao's mood. She knew when grandpa would leave, but she saw her grandpa laughing all day with her own eyes.

It is said that death is the pain of the living. Even if you know that grandpa is leaving at this age, it is joy and sorrow, but...

For Liu Qingyao, there is always one less person in this world, and there is still one less person who treats her best, and Yin and Yang are separated from now on.

"You talk too much!"

Zhou You smiled. Seeing Liu Qingyao's thin appearance, he looked at the others and said, "What do you all want to eat?"

He was also hungry. Although he ate during the period, the time was too tight and he didn't eat well, and Liu Qingyao seemed to have only drank a little water today.

As soon as these words came out, the back kitchen assistants and those who passed the dishes to clean up got up.

For a while, there was a lot of talk.

"Zhou You, Master has so many disciples, I, Huang Hao, haven't convinced anyone yet, but today I really do!"

"Yes, yes, I have tasted your pork belly and chicken soup, and it is exactly the same as the old man's!"

"Zhou You, why don't you come to Yipinlou, and you can settle down in Pengcheng directly. I believe Qingyao can help you solve the house and so on!"

Tianming looked at Zhou You and tried his best to persuade him!
Tianming was one of those present who knew Zhou You's background, but others thought Zhou You was Liu Zhang's closed disciple.

After all, Liu Zhang has quite a few disciples, and it's normal for many of them to be unfamiliar with each other!

Zhou You smiled and said, "Let's eat first, we're already hungry!"

If she didn't refuse, she refused, and Liu Qingyao was not disappointed, after all, she knew that it was impossible for Zhou You to come to Yipinlou.

If you need craftsmanship, money, and money, taking over Yipinlou is better than running a store yourself, and she also knows that grandpa has expressed his opinion, but Zhou You clearly refused!

While Zhou You and others were cooking for him, Liu Zhang was meeting an old friend in the front hall.

"Old Liu!"

"Old Liu!"

"Old Liu!"

Seeing Liu Zhang come out one by one, they all stood up, and Liu Zhang also greeted with a smile.

Naturally, he came out not to say hello to a certain person, but to his diners, so he didn't pull a person to talk, and walked to the door steps, the small alley outside, and the people sitting around in the small park next to him immediately noticed.

"Master Liu is out!"

I don't know who yelled, and in an instant, many people gathered around, some even holding bowls.

"God of Cooking!"

Someone yelled again, and for a while, the name of the God of Cooking was called out.

In fact, it’s not that some people call him the God of Cooking now. In the early years, some people said that Liu Zhang was the God of Cooking in Canton, but this was too high-profile after all. Later, it was gradually rumored in the circle that he was the No. Sit down.

But at this moment, the shouts of God of Cooking came one after another, and Liu Zhang didn't stop, just watched quietly.

for a long time!

His voice gradually died down, and he smiled all over his face.

"Thank you, thank you for your company over the past decades. We gathered in Yipinlou, and it is because of you that Yipinlou can last for so many years!"

When a person is about to die, there are naturally many words, and there is nothing particularly grateful.

It's like doing homework.

For example, Liu Zhang pointed to a 50-year-old man on the lower left and said, "Little Hu, I still remember that when your wife gave birth, you had to come to my door and ask me to make a pot of pork belly and chicken soup for your wife. In a blink of an eye, the young man's temples are also white!"

"Xiao Liu, you made love with your wife, but it's in my shop. You're about to hug your grandson now!"

"Xiao Wang, one year before your child's college entrance examination, you came to line up every morning to buy crystal shrimp dumplings. Later, your son entered the national defense. I still made the banquet!"

It was just a celebration at first, but as Liu Zhang called the names one by one, and talked about those memories that had been blurred by the people who didn't know how many years had passed, finally, someone couldn't help their eyes wet and cried out loud!

If you didn’t understand it before, you can understand it now.

This hundred-vegetable feast was clearly Liu Zhang's farewell meal!

"Okay, okay, don't make it so sad, I'm the oldest here, how many of you have eaten the food I cooked, in fact, I can't remember it myself, but the vast crowd , to be a neighbor, to be a fellow countryman, to be able to meet thousands of miles away, if you think about it, this is fate!"

Liu Zhang's voice was very flat. After a long time, he suddenly bent down and said heavily, "Thank you!"

Then turned around and entered Yipinlou!

All of a sudden, there was a lot of people outside the store, and it was extremely noisy!

"Tsk, a chef can reach this level..."

"Grandpa Liu is gone, I'm afraid Yipinlou will be included in the folk custom protection unit!"

"What a pity!"

At this time, the old men in the store were also a little moved, but Liu Zhang resolved the heavy atmosphere with one sentence.

"Half of this Hundred Vegetables Banquet was made by Zhou You. I believe everyone has tasted it!"

Han Tianbao smacked his lips: "Yes, such as white-cut chicken, roast goose, Laohuo soup, fried beef..."

Shan Yun said: "That Laohuo soup is really good, better than yours!"

Although some may feel that they are not as good as Liu Zhang, but some of them taste better than Liu Zhang's cooking skills.

Liu Zhang smiled and said, "His cooking skills are really good!"

"It's really the first time I've seen you praise someone!" Han Tianbao smiled, and said again: "You are willing to let this apprentice of yours come out!"

Liu Zhang frowned, shook his head, and said, "He's not my apprentice, and... I'm afraid I can't teach him!" Actually, Liu Zhang had never eaten Zhou You's banquet, and he didn't even know the taste of the dishes on Zhou You this time. Tried pork belly chicken soup and Buddha jumps over the wall.

One has almost the same taste as his, and the other has a different taste, but the scores are actually similar, but people have inertial thinking.

And the chef happened to be an experienced industry, why didn't he say that Zhou You's craftsmanship was comparable to him, or even better than him, it was because of Zhou You's age.

No matter how talented you are, it is impossible to cook all the dishes at the age of 25!

"Not an apprentice?"

Shan Yun was shocked, and then they heard even more shocking words.

"Have you tried the pork belly and chicken soup, you probably don't know, half of the pork belly and chicken soup this time is made by Zhou You!"

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked!

And Han Tianbao reacted first, and asked anxiously, "Is it true?"

Liu Zhang said: "Of course it is true!"

Others look at me and I look at you, doesn't that mean... the next moment, Han Tianbao and others immediately ran towards the back kitchen.

Liu Zhang has no choice but to wander around, don't blame me!
At the back kitchen, everyone is surrounded. I was too busy before, so I didn’t look carefully and didn’t have time to eat, but now, with a pot of simple chili fried pork, hot and sour potato shreds, and sweet and sour pork, When the fried chicken gizzards and shiitake mushrooms came out of the pan, everyone's stomachs growled immediately.

"I'll serve the rice!"

The small bag table at the entrance of the kitchen was also opened, and the big guy quickly brought the dishes over, waited for Zhou You to come over, and then started.

"Tsk tsk, why does this stir-fried pork with chili under my nose taste more fragrant than mine!"

"Nonsense, or else you would be the one who will be cooking a hundred-vegetable banquet with Mr. Liu today!"

"The hot and sour potato shreds are also delicious, sour and crunchy, very refreshing to eat!"

"Hey, it's a pity, I tasted the white-cut chicken made by Brother Zhou, and I feel... the taste is better than Liu Lao's!"

Just as he was talking, footsteps sounded, and then Liu Zhang and his party came in.

This was another commotion, especially Zhou You, who was directly surrounded.

What these old men want to eat most is Liu Zhang's pork belly and chicken soup, but Zhou You can completely copy it, so they didn't taste it at all when they drank the soup at night.

Liu Zhang's deadline is approaching, so he has no choice but to seize Zhou You.

The most important thing is, you are young, doesn't that mean you can drink until you die?
Zhou You was also very helpless, he agreed with his mouth, and thought in his heart that the matter here was over, so he had to run away quickly!

Seeing that Zhou You still had to eat, Liu Zhang quickly sent him away, and then went out to ask the waiter to help clean up.

"Master, I packed them all up, and sorted them according to what you said!"

"Go and see!"

Liu Zhang walked towards the cleaning room with his hands behind his back, and when he got there, he saw two sets of plates and pots.

He knows exactly what dishes he has cooked, and there is a reason why he has to look at the plates and pots.

But after reading it carefully, the astonishment in his eyes gradually turned into shock and disbelief.

"Unbelievable, unimaginable!"

After the guests left, the chef looked at the plates, first to see if there were any leftovers, and secondly to see how much was left and why.

As for the chef, it is the happiest thing to eat all the dishes.

Whenever Yipinlou makes his shots, although it is not 100% CD action, at least 80.00% will be eaten up!

Of the two sets of plates and pots, one is his own and the other is traveling around, which he ordered before cooking.

And his wave of plates and pots, like before, was eaten up to eight or nine points, and the rest were some bottoms, or some dishes that he was not very good at.

You can travel around here...

He picked up a plate, it was white and bare, it could even shine, but of course it was not completely clean, the plate was obviously scratched.

but……

"What's on this plate?"

The people next to you look at me and I look at you, with embarrassing faces, thinking that you can't even tell, let alone us!
Liu Zhang also knew that it was embarrassing for them. He put down the plate and picked up another one. Although it was not as clean as the first one, and he also saw that this plate should contain beef with scallion oil, but there was also all the soup and water that should have remained. Nope, obviously, eaten clean again.

I took a lot of plates in a row, although I could recognize what was on them, but...

Almost without exception, they were all eaten up.

What leftovers, what soup!
What is real disc action!

Liu Zhang put down the plate and took a deep breath: "I know you are young and energetic, but I never thought that... you are telling the truth!"

These dishes are not all Fujian and Cantonese, there are also Sichuan cuisine, and even Shandong cuisine, but all of them were eaten up, which proves that Zhou You said that he is good at cooking all cuisines is true!

immortal!

What a fairy!
……

"Thank you so much!"

"Come again!"

Zhou You was very helpless, just listening to Liu Qingyao say thank you these few days, his head was about to get dizzy.

Liu Qingyao was also very helpless, she really didn't know what to say except thank you.

"If you have time, you can go to Lingqu Village to play!"

Zhou You recognized Liu Qingyao as a friend.

"Okay! By the way, in the next few days, I will take you to have fun!"

It's not easy to come to Pengcheng, but Zhou You has been busy for several days, and even left the child behind.

It's almost twelve o'clock in the evening, but there are still many people on the street. After all, it is a seaside city. In summer, many people can drink from the barbecue stand and eat breakfast the next day!
When passing by the Tangshui shop, the two had a drink, and then went straight into the hotel!
"Aren't you going back?"

"Stay here tonight!"

"what?"

Zhou You was a little stunned, Liu Qingyao smiled and said: "This hotel belongs to my uncle, I will accompany you around for the next two days!"

No wonder!
Zhou You sent a message to Yang Qingning, but no one responded. He probably fell asleep with the child in his arms.

After a brief wash, Zhou You was just about to go to bed when someone knocked on the door suddenly. When he opened it, it was Liu Qingyao. She had obviously changed her clothes and took a shower. With a simple box!

"Is something wrong?"

"Don't go in and talk?"

Zhou You stepped aside, waited for Liu Qingyao to come in, and then closed the door.

"This knife...my grandfather asked me to give it to you!"

Liu Qingyao put the box on the table and opened it. Inside was a strangely shaped kitchen knife with a textured handle, and there seemed to be a carving in the shape of a fish on it!
At that time, when Liu Zhang said that he would give the knife to Zhou You, the members of the Liu family reacted quite strongly, so the knife may not be simple!
Sure enough, Liu Qingyao explained.

"This is the certificate of the Cantonese Cuisine Association, generally only the president of the association can have it!"

Zhou You quickly refused: "I can't take this!"

Liu Qingyao put her arms around her chest and said, "Then you have to tell my grandpa, after all, my grandpa gave it to you!"

Playing a rogue?
Zhou You frowned, feeling really helpless for a moment, Liu Zhang's move, he could probably guess, obviously wanted to deepen his relationship with Cantonese cuisine, and even hoped that he could have Yipinlou in his heart.

Zhou You was helpless, thinking about talking to Liu Zhang tomorrow!

It was late at night, but Liu Qingyao had no intention of leaving, but started chatting instead.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door again.

"Lime?" Liu Qingyao, who was originally sitting on the sofa, stood up, as if frightened, looked around, and rushed to the bathroom decisively!

"What are you doing?"

"Why? In the middle of the night, after you take a shower, I also take a shower and are still in the same room. If Qing Ning sees it, what are you talking about?" As he spoke, he went straight into the bathroom.

Zhou You was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it really is!
Going to open the door, it was indeed Yang Qingning, she seemed to be dressed up, holding Xiao Qinghe by the hand, the two looked energetic.

"You didn't sleep!"

"I went to Yipin Building in the afternoon, but there were too many people, so I came back. I wanted to eat, but Xiao Qinghe kept nagging about waiting for you, so I came back to catch up on sleep. Now I can't sleep, and I'm hungry again!"

Zhou You is helpless, okay, I've been busy in Yipin Building all day, and you two didn't even eat dinner!

"Wait a minute, I'll take a short sleeve!"

Seeing that Yang Qingning was about to come in, Zhou You said quickly, threw away the bathrobe, and took a short-sleeved one from the sofa.

Yang Qingning was so unprepared, she saw Zhou You's upper body, those lines, those abdominal muscles...

Oh, why is it so hot today!
Hearing that the door was locked, Liu Qingyao came out of the bathroom. She looked at the nightgown on the sofa, but she didn't know what to think. She stomped her feet hard, then opened the door, stooped, and ran quickly when she saw no one around. Go back to your room!

……

The hotel has a restaurant, so Zhou You didn't take the children out for dinner, it was too late after all.

When I got to the top floor, I found that there were still many people eating!

It was the first time for Yang Qingning to come to this high-end restaurant, she was a bit cautious, she took her child to find a table in the corner and sat down, after a while a waiter came over with a menu.

It was basically western food. Yang Qingning ordered some pasta casually, but Xiao Qinghe kept frowning, and seemed to be dissatisfied.

"Let's make do with it. I'll cook you a big meal when I get back!"

"Okay, I've been starving for the past two days!"

When I went to Yipin Building today, I wanted to eat the food cooked by Zhou You, who knew that there were too many people, and it was too hot, Yang Qingning and Xiao Qinghe from Long City couldn't bear it at all.

After waiting for a while, the noodles and steak were served. Xiao Qinghe simply ate some noodles, but stopped after taking a bite of the steak.

"I'm a picky eater!"

"Dad, it's not delicious!"

Zhou You is helpless, it seems that he has given his mouth to his mouth, no wonder, when he is at home, he cooks for Mr. Huang and the others to see how he feels, but Xiao Qinghe cooks, that is to see Xiao Qinghe's mood.

what?
Western food?

Don't be ridiculous, just take this steak as an example, even if the ingredients are not equal, Zhou You can finish it all.

"It's not as good as your steak!"

Yang Qingning also said in a low voice, and looked around when she said it, for fear that others might hear it!
Suddenly, someone next to him shouted: "He is handsome, so what you wear has nothing to do with you!"

Zhou You and Yang Qingning all looked over, of course, they also attracted the attention of others.

But next door, a long-haired woman got up, with an angry face, twisted her bag and left, but she smiled at Zhou You when she passed by.

And the young man at the same table immediately chased after him, but when he passed by, he stared at Zhou You fiercely!
what's the situation?
Zhou You was stunned!
"Why did you come here to eat!"

At this moment, Liu Qingyao came over with a smile, and said, "Didn't you realize that this top floor is a restaurant for couples?"

Zhou You was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head to look, not to mention, the diners were really young couples, and all of them were dressed in fashion or formal clothes, unlike him, the upper body was just a simple white short-sleeve!

Even wear slippers!

"It's hard for someone to invite a girl to a couple's restaurant for dinner. You're fine. Isn't this sabotage? The boy probably judged you and wanted to improve himself. He never wanted to be backlashed!"

Yang Qingning laughed, just like Zhou You, when she came in, she attracted the attention of many people. If she hadn't brought a child, there might be a girl who came to ask for contact information under the pretext of going to the bathroom!
"Okay, let's go to another place, this is all a lie to the young man! Go downstairs, where you can barbecue by yourself!"

Xiao Qinghe's eyes lit up when he heard that he could barbecue by himself: "Dad, I want to give you my barbecue!"

"All right, all right, but you have to eat less, what time is it!" Zhou You said helplessly to Liu Qingyao, "It's your uncle's hotel after all, how can you say you're lying to the young man!"

Liu Qingyao curled her lips: "This girl has a family of gourmets, so I don't know what is delicious!"

It is!

The four of them took the elevator and arrived at the next floor. As soon as the elevator opened, there was a smell of meat.

Looking around, it turned out to be a stone barbecue!
The so-called stone barbecue is a way of heating pebbles and then cooking the meat on the pebbles. Because of the novel way of eating, it is very popular among young people!

There are more people eating on this floor than the ones above, and it doesn't seem like the upstairs is full of couples.

Liu Qingyao should be a frequent visitor. She chatted with the manager as soon as she entered the door, and quickly found a perfect location by the window. From the window, she could see the sea!

"Pengcheng deserves to be a metropolis, it's still so lively at such a late hour!"

Yang Qingning couldn't help sighing.

It is said that the coast is developed, so it is no wonder that many people from inside come here, and even have the illusion that we are in the same country!

Liu Qingyao ordered beef cubes, beef streaky, beef tongue, beef ribs, beef tendon, beef brain, etc.!
"It's all fresh meat, it depends on your craftsmanship!"

"If you want it, let it go!"

"Of course, we're all waiting for you to do it, right Lime!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Three people, two big and one small, just resting their chins on their hands, looking like they are waiting to be fed.

Seeing this, Zhou You could only roll up his sleeves and do it.

Barbecue is roasted at the same heat, even if it is all beef, even the same thickness, but the roasting time is also different, especially beef, after a little bit, it will taste dry and even need to be bitten.

But if the heat is not enough, it will be raw, and many Chinese don't like to eat medium-rare beef!
So how to cook the beef with a medium-rare taste requires extremely high techniques.

Beef streaky, the thickness will affect the taste, and this restaurant, because it is a cobblestone barbecue, so the thickness is about [-] cm, the texture of the meat is very beautiful, like snowflakes falling on the ground!
Zhou You picked up a piece of meat and placed it directly on the cobblestone. Immediately, there was a sizzling sound, and a puff of smoke came out, and the piece of meat shrank immediately, with grease on the edge, and it was constantly bubbling!
As the color of the meat changes from red to brown, the special aroma of beef streaky flowers spreads rapidly.

"Well, it smells so good!"

Xiao Qinghe twitched her nose, narrowed her eyes, and kept thinking about it with her two little hands.

Zhou You smiled, then quickly turned the meat over, and there was another sizzling sound, the fat dripped down, and white smoke rose again.

Finally done!
Zhou You sprinkled some green onions, rolled them up with chopsticks, and blew on them.

"Ah, open your mouth!"

"what!"

Xiao Qinghe ate it in one mouthful.

"How about it?"

"good to eat!"

Zhou You smiled, turned his head, two pairs of big eyes stared at him expectantly.

What do you mean?
And let me say to you like coaxing children: Ah, open your mouth?

　In order for everyone to watch it more comfortably, I will update it every day, usually at 12:30 noon, because the update is delayed, so you can watch it at [-]:[-], just for lunch to kill time, please give me a monthly ticket, thank you!
