Chapter 1624 Seeking Death and Must Seeking Death
Huang Fei, Wang Qiang, Hao Cheng, and Liu Li, the four note-takers, are currently staying in the room of the Hilton Hotel very solemnly.
Why is he solemn? The main reason is that what Wang Qiang is about to do is very dangerous.
Let me start by saying that the identity of each of the four members of the Note Group is not simple.
Hao Cheng, the most proud disciple of the Five Tigers of Jiangsu Cuisine in Hangtian; Huang Fei, born in a family of culinary arts, is very famous in Suzhou and Hangzhou; Wang Qiang, his father is Wang Jike, one of the Five Tigers of Jiangsu Cuisine.
As for Liu Li, even though he is fat and fat, his master is not as famous as Hang Tian, but his master is known as the founder of Jinling cuisine in the new era, and is one generation higher than the Five Tigers.
Speaking of the eight major cuisines, in addition to Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and Jiangsu cuisine have significantly higher commercial promotion intensity across the country than other cuisines.
Such achievements are due to the group of Sichuan and Jiangsu cuisine chefs in the 1950s and 1960s. Therefore, to show respect, Jiangsu Province named the five most outstanding people at that time the Five Tigers, while Sichuan Province was collectively called the Four Pillars. .
The current president of Sichuan Cuisine, Zhang Yan, is the leader of the Four Pillars. I won’t go into details about the Five Tigers and Four Pillars, which were things from the previous generation.
Nowadays, although Wang Jike is not as well-known as Hangtian, he is no less famous. The dish Wang Jike is best at is "Yangzhou Sancha", which is even called Wang's Sancha.
Wang Qiang's cooking skills were naturally taught by Wang Jike since he was a child, so he was very familiar with his father's Sancha.
Before yesterday, or to be precise before last night's dinner, Wang Qiang had always been sure that his father's Sancha was the most delicious.
But after eating Boss Yuan’s barbecued pork duck, barbecued mandarin fish, and roasted side dishes, Wang Qiang came to another conclusion. His father’s Sancha seemed to have room for improvement!
Yes, although it is hard to believe, Wang Qiang has repeatedly confirmed that Huang Fei, Liu Li, and Hao Cheng didn't look right when they saw Wang Qiang's face at yesterday's meal, so the three dishes of grilled square, barbecued pork duck and barbecued mandarin fish were not served. How to move chopsticks.
After Wang Qiang finished eating and was sure, he locked himself in the room without saying anything.
It's normal for him to be like this. Wang Qiang started eating his father's food at the age of five, which is equivalent to subverting something that has been known for more than 20 years.
For example, if someone tells you that He Shen does not look like Mr. Wang Gang, according to unofficial history and some marginal historical records, He Shen is a handsome guy. You must take a while to accept it.
I thought about it all night,
Wang Qiang decided to tell his father about it, so in the morning, Wang Qiang told the other three friends about it, and this was the beginning of the scene.
Speaking of which, Huang Fei, Hao Cheng, Wang Qiang, and Liu Li always said that they came to learn Jiangsu cuisine. Although they didn't take down a few pages of notes, not eating breakfast at Yuanzhou's shop was their last stubbornness.
After all, Yuanzhou rarely makes Suzhou snacks for breakfast.
Yes, this was a decision made after eating breakfast for a week straight.
"Wang Qiang, I think you should think about it again," Huang Fei said.
Liu Li also patted his fat belly, which made a snapping sound. He liked to pat his belly like this when he was thinking about problems, and he didn't know whether it hurt or not.
He said: "I think it's better to forget it. Besides, I've also eaten Chef Wang's Sancha, which is also very delicious. It feels no worse than Boss Yuan's."
Wang Qiang shook his head and said, "Liu Li, you eat less. I guess the last time you ate was half a year ago."
"It seems like half a year ago." Liu Li immediately added, "But my taste buds have a very strong memory, and I can clearly remember everything I ate within a year."
"I don't doubt your talent." Wang Qiang said: "On the whole, my father's Sancha is not inferior to Chef Yuan, so Liu Li, your feeling is correct, but in terms of details, it should be said that there are slight differences. ."
"I really called you Brother Qiang. You and I both know Chef Wang's character, right?" Hao Cheng said.
To be honest, Yuan Zhou's reputation in the country has been unmatched by anyone since his solo exhibition of cooking skills, but Wang Jike is a chef of the older generation, and he is also a chef of the older generation who has created brilliance.
Not everyone can be like Technician Cheng, and Wang Jike is famous for caring about face. You must know that Wang Jike lost three points to Hang Tian in a game when he was young... and now Wang Jike is still studying and vowing to defeat Hang Tian. field.
As another party involved, Hang Tian was also helpless, because Hang Tian's theory is: "Personal subjective factors play a large role in whether the food is delicious, so there is no need to care too much about winning or losing."
But Wang Jike thought it was because he was not good at cooking, and he was always holding back his anger.
You said that if it were someone else, Wang Jike would definitely have surpassed his opponent with his attitude. Unfortunately, he met Hang Tian, who was evaluated by Master Liu as "a rare genius chef in twenty years." field.
More than ten years have passed, and the gap between Wang Jike and Hang Tian has not narrowed at all, it is still the same.
You want to say that Wang Jike is stingy, but he is not.
His sons Wang Qiang and Hao Cheng have been good friends since childhood. Wang Jike never said anything. From his point of view, "the affairs of the previous generation are not the business of the next generation."
To put it simply, according to Hao Cheng and others' understanding of Wang Jike, if Wang Qiang said, "Dad, I think Boss Yuan's Sancha is more delicious, you still have room for improvement" Wang Qiang might be beaten to death, even if it was him biological son.
"I think there are some things that should be done." Wang Qiang said seriously.
Hao Cheng and others all understand Wang Jike's character, and as a son, they understand better. But Wang Qiang knows another thing. His father has always wanted to surpass Hangtian, and maybe the "Yangzhou Three Crosses" will be a very good opportunity.
"I'll call my dad soon and tell him about it." Wang Qiang said, "I hope I can let him come to Chengdu once."
This clearly made up their mind, and Hao Cheng and others could not persuade them any more, so they could only mourn Wang Qiang in their hearts.
The real owner, Yuan Zhou, didn’t know anything. To him, it was just that someone ordered Yangzhou Three Forks yesterday, and then Yuan Zhou cooked these three dishes seriously.
"Huh? Hao Cheng and the other four didn't come here at noon today?" Yuan Zhou looked at the people lining up at the door. Generally speaking, Liu Li's fat body could be seen by scanning over. After all, he was obviously fatter than the two of them. , but not today.
The reason why Yuan Zhou paid more attention was because Hao Cheng and others sent ancient books.
It’s not because of the value of the gift. Although the ancient book itself is of high value, it’s mainly because Hao Cheng and others have followed the etiquette, and Yuanzhou will also respond with corresponding etiquette. For example, when cooking the Jiangsu dishes they ordered, he deliberately cooks them slower than usual. .
Moreover, Yuan Zhou and Master Hang Tian have been friends for many years. If you really want to talk about it, although Hao Cheng and others are a few years older than Yuan Zhou Chi, they are still nephews, so they should take care of them a little.
Since the last time we said hello, the foursome have been coming every day at noon and evening, but today was an exception. Yuan Zhou calmed down and the first batch of customers had already entered the store.
"Boss Yuan, one serving of steak Wellington, medium rare, and one serving of soy sauce bibimbap." After collecting the money, Zhou Jia reported the menu to Yuan Zhou.
Hey, five points of steak and soy sauce mixed with rice, isn't this a way of eating that is Chu Xiao's habit? Yuanzhou muttered in his heart.
When he looked up, he saw that it was really Chu Xiao, sitting quietly waiting to eat.
"I remember that the direct flight from Paris to Chengdu takes ten hours, and the transfer time is about 16 hours. We were still in France last night, and today we are able to get the first batch of lunch. It's a werewolf." Yuanzhou muttered in his heart.
Is it possible that France to Chengdu is really a convenient way? Yuanzhou couldn't help but believe Chu Xiao's words.
Although Yuan Zhou had a lot of inner activities, his expression did not change. Not only that, but he also started frying steak on his hands.
Not only Chu Xiao, Zheng Jiawei also came with Wu Hai.
It was no different from before. Zheng Jiawei ordered all Wu Hai's favorite dishes.
Hmm... It's not right to talk like this. It should be said that Wu Hai likes the food in Yuanzhou's shop.
The first batch, the second batch, and the third batch of diners entered the store one after another.
Speaking of which, there is another person, the poor boss Wu Yungui, who came panting but it was full.
"Huh heh heh... I'm convinced too. I came here specifically to eat Yangzhou fried rice at noon today, but the traffic jam made my scalp numb." Wu Yungui sat on a bench next to the store, not enjoying the meal.
"Old Wu, I fully understand how you feel." Li Yan, who was also sitting on the bench, said.
"Eh?" Wu Yungui looked at Li Yanyi, and then the two looked at each other, making sure that they were both people who were delayed in queuing due to traffic jams and could not eat delicious food.
The queuing mechanism of Yuanzhou's store makes many old customers fall over, just like Li Yanyi and Wu Yungui today.
"What has Mr. Li been doing recently?" Wu Yungui asked.
Actually, Wu Yungui and Li Yanyi were not familiar with each other, but now they were both stuck in traffic jam at the door, so they naturally chatted.
"We recently held a meeting to promote the rating of new chefs." Li Yan said.
"New chef rating?" Wu Yungui became interested.
"Well, the current chef ratings are still based on the rules set in 2011, which are junior, intermediate, and senior Chinese cooks, and then junior, intermediate, and senior technicians above that." Li Yan said, "It is indeed time to change."
Wu Yungui asked: "What should it be changed to?"
"This rating change was promoted by the Kitchen Federation. The specific changes and the handover with the old rating system are still being discussed and will not be finalized for a while." Li Yan said.
Immediately, he changed the topic and asked: "Boss Wu, how is the food court doing recently?"
"Thanks to Boss Yuan, my food city has hired seven Michelin chefs, three of whom are Michelin three-star chefs." Wu Yungui spoke very eloquently.
It’s true that it should be shamed. Let alone China, even in France, the birthplace of Michelin restaurants, there is no food city with so many Michelin chefs. This is a fantasy.
"Okay, Boss Wu, it seems that the food city is doing well. I'll come over for a meal sometime." Li Yan said.
As a famous food critic, Li Yanyi's meal must be more than just eating.
Wu Yungui also understood what Li Yanyi meant, so he said: "No problem, but Mr. Li, there is one thing I must say in advance. It is a judgment, and you cannot use the same standards as Boss Yuan to judge."
"Those Michelin chefs are all foreign friends. You can't completely break the young minds of foreign friends." Wu Yungui warned.
"Don't worry, I know it well." Li Yan said.
The two sat and chatted for a while, and Li Yan left first. Wu Yungui came not only because he wanted to eat delicious food, but also had another thing to do, so he planned to wait until the lunch business hours were over before leaving.
Of course, just waiting to get hungry is not enough, so Wu Yungui chose Li Li's Western restaurant.
As the last batch of diners entered the store, Taoxi Road was still very lively.
Some people say that traveling means traveling from a place where you are tired of staying to a place where others are tired of staying. It doesn’t matter whether this sentence is correct or not. Anyway, many foodies go to a new place and search for the city’s “snack streets” and "Food court", "food street" and so on.
In Rongcheng, Taoxi Road is the most popular. In addition to the golden signboard of Yuanzhou, there are also Taoxi Road and Wu Yungui's Food City.
You must know that when the Food City opened, the former chefs of seven Michelin-starred restaurants opened restaurants, which caused a sensation all over the world.
It’s just that Boss Yuan was busy at the time and didn’t attend the opening, so I won’t go into too much detail.
There are delicious food all around here, and it is no exaggeration to say it is a holy land for foodies.
And Wu Yungui feels that as long as Yuan Zhou is here, maybe one day his food city will have more than a hundred restaurants, all opened by Michelin chefs...
Among the fourth batch of guests, there was another diner who wanted to challenge Yuan Zhou on the rice cooker, but the result was definitely a failure.
In the past, there were challenges, and the diners were still watching with interest, but now... there is no interest. After all, it is a challenge with already known results.
Queen Ginger used to like to find all kinds of rice to cook, of course that was a long time ago.
After watching the last batch of diners leave, Yuanzhou began to send out invitations: "Jia Wei, this is the invitation. I hope you can come if you have time."
Zheng Jiawei took it with both hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Boss Yuan. The thing that makes Xiaohai jump up and down is probably Boss Yuan's treat."
Basically, I guessed it right. I don’t know whether to say that Zheng Jiawei knows Wu Hai very well, or whether to say that Zheng Jiawei is very smart.
"A little thought, thank you for helping the store." Yuan Zhou said.
"It's me who should thank Boss Yuan." Zheng Jiawei said.
Then Chu Xiao also stood beside Yuan Zhou without knowing it.
"Chu Xiao, this is an invitation letter. I hope I can have time then." Yuan Zhou took out another letter and handed it over.
"Well, I'll try my best to arrive as soon as possible." Chu Xiao said, "I still have to catch a flight, so I'll leave first."
Chu Xiao was also a resolute person, so he left after saying that.
It was at this time that Tang Qian popped up and said with a smile, "Hey, Boss Yuan, I'm here."
"Lunch time is over, there's no time to eat now," Wu Hai said.
"I heard our male god's call yesterday. I originally went out early, but suddenly I emptied the shopping cart yesterday, so... I don't have any money anymore." Tang Qian said with a bitter face. She also came so late on purpose.
"If you had told me earlier, I would have treated you to food." Wu Hai was very angry.
"Brother Wu was your guest the last two times. We can't let Brother Wu treat us again." Tang Qian shook her head.
Wu Hai said nonchalantly: "What's the matter? How much money can I spend on a meal? I still care about this."
"If you care, you should care. Friends want you to treat me and I will treat you." Tang Qian said: "So Brother Wu is waiting for me to save money to treat you to dinner."
"Hahahaha, I'll wait." Wu Hai liked being invited to dinner, so he laughed.
"Qian Qian, this is your invitation letter. I hope I can have time then." Yuan Zhou said.
"Hahaha, I finally got it. I want to see what Brother Wu is looking for." When Tang Qian was about to open it, she asked Yuan Zhou: "I opened it in person, Boss Yuan." you do not mind?"
"I don't mind." Yuan Zhou said.
Tang Qian opened it and took a look. Her throat obviously moved and she swallowed.
She said: "I've never seen roasted whole beef before. Thank you, Boss Yuan."
After exchanging pleasantries with Yuan Zhou, Tang Qian skipped away, and Wu Hai and Zheng Jiawei also left.
Wu Yungui, who had been waiting for a long time, came in.
