Chapter 1626 The Rightful Owner Has Arrived!
Because there was no checked baggage, the flight card showed that Wang Jike's flight arrived five minutes before he walked out.
Wang Jike lived up to his "notoriety". Although he was over sixty years old, his body and back were straighter than those of young people, and every step was as if measured with a ruler, and the distance between walking steps felt exactly the same.
He was wearing black casual clothes, but they were ironed meticulously, and he was carrying a small black suitcase in his hand.
His hair is even blacker and thicker than Wang Qiang's. Wang Qiang knows very well that after all, his father dyes his hair black every year.
"Dad, let me get the box for you." Wang Qiang immediately ran up and said slightly flatteringly.
"No need." Wang Jike frowned and refused directly.
Wang Qiang felt guilty for a while, but he immediately said: "Dad, let me introduce it to you. In fact, I have seen him before. This is my friend Liu..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Qiang suddenly discovered to his surprise that Liu Li, who was standing next to him, had disappeared.
"Uh." Wang Qiang looked around but couldn't find him.
Wang Jike stood straight on the spot and asked, "Do I need to wait for your friend?"
"No, no, maybe I have to leave beforehand." Wang Qiang said immediately: "Dad, shall I take you to Chef Yuan's place now?"
"It's not business hours yet, why are you going to Chef Yuan's place?" Wang Jike said, "I didn't tell you in advance before coming. It would be rude to visit now."
Wang Qiang could only nod his head repeatedly and did not dare to refute.
"Take me to where you live." Wang Jike said after a moment of silence.
"Oh." Wang Qiang agreed immediately: "Then I will book a room in the hotel right away."
After booking a car before arriving, the driver was already waiting in the parking lot. Wang Qiang actually wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but due to Wang Jike's intimidation, he still sat in the back seat with his legs together.
Mobile phones are really convenient now. In the past, you had to make a phone call to book a room, but now you can do it directly on the travel software.
Wang Qiang tried to find various topics along the way, but Wang Jike was always in a state of ignoring him. He would only be interested in chatting when things related to cooking were mentioned.
For example, Wang Qiang said: “I feel that Chef Yuan’s knife skills are different from all current chefs.
"
Wang Jike will answer: "It is not different from all chefs, but Chef Yuan's knife skills have their own system. Any master who has been famous for a long time has his own understanding of knife skills. It just depends on whether the personal style is so strong."
Wang Qiang added: "It's not a personal style, I just feel that Chef Yuan has a set of knife skills."
"Do you have your own knife skills?" Wang Jike turned his head and looked at Wang Qiang seriously.
Personal knife skills and personal knife skills are completely different concepts. The former cannot be learned by others, while the latter can be learned by everyone, but it depends on personal talent.
And just like Wang Jike said, every master has his own style, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to become a master, but personal knife skills...
Wang Jike didn't say anything, and it wasn't clear from his expression whether he believed it or not.
The distance from the airport to the Hilton Hotel is not far, but it is definitely not close. Anyway, just as the father and son were chatting awkwardly, the car arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Chenghua District.
Speaking of this Hilton hotel, there is another interesting fact. Originally, this Hilton hotel in Chenghua District was just one building. Since it opened in 2017, business has been very good, so there are plans to expand the store.
But after last year, after Hilton decisively bought the building next to it, it was still always full.
Hilton is very knowledgeable. Although his service tenet is "Have you smiled at the guests today?", in fact, another sentence is more appropriate, "Have you bowed down to money today?".
This Hilton in Chenghua District has a dedicated "Rongcheng Travel Information Desk (including Yuanzhou Store Queue Guide)" at the front desk. Not only that, it also has a special wake-up service.
As long as you call and tell the front desk when you want to eat at Yuanzhou Restaurant, the front desk will wake you up at a suitable time and drive you there to queue up.
In fact, it’s really like this. If you want to make money, you must have an attitude of making money. It’s not that you have to kneel down or anything, but you can’t just want to make money and act like someone else owes you 18 million.
"Dad, please check in first and put your things down. After a while, we will go to Chef Yuan's place." Wang Qiang said.
Wang Jike nodded in agreement, then got the room card from the front desk, put down Wang Qiang and walked to his room.
Then Wang Qiang was very timid, so he returned to his room and sent a message to Hao Cheng and others. They gathered in Huang Fei's room again.
I forgot to mention that Wang Qiang and others were staying in suites, so Liu Li and Hao Cheng were sitting in the living room of Huang Fei's room.
"Liu Li, you are such a friend..." Wang Qiang knocked on the door and went in. He saw the fat body on the sofa. Before he finished speaking, he heard Liu Li's voice.
"Brother Qiang, why didn't you know to wait for me? I just went to the toilet, and I was still in the small room, and then when I came back, the person was gone." Liu Li looked depressed, patted his big belly, and said, "Look at me Volume, I searched around the terminal, I was sweating, do you think it’s easy for me?”
"Brother Qiang, can't you and Uncle Wang wait for me?" Liu Li's tone contained grievance.
Wang Qiang was stunned. When he thought about it, it seemed that he was really going to leave right away, so he, who originally had a little bit of "invoking an army to investigate the crime", was a little speechless for a moment.
"Ahem." Wang Qiang said, "Why didn't you tell me before you went to the toilet? I thought you were back first."
Liu Li's eyes widened and he said: "How is that possible! I promised to accompany you, Brother Qiang, and I will definitely do it. Jianghu and Jiyu are talking about me!"
"And I thought it was just a matter of a minute or two. I'll go and get back quickly, so I didn't say anything." Liu Lidao.
"Sorry, sorry, it's my problem." Wang Qiang felt that he had gone too far.
"It's okay, Brother Qiang. Uncle Wang has already stayed at this hotel?" Liu Li first waved his hand to express his generosity, and then asked with concern.
"Well, we've already settled in." Wang Qiang nodded.
"We will go over and visit Chef Wang Jike later." Hao Cheng said, out of courtesy, they naturally had to pay a visit to Wang Jike, one of the Five Tigers of Jiangsu Cuisine.
At about 4:20, Wang Qiang led the three of them to the room where his father lived.
Wang Qiang took a deep breath and knocked on the door, and the crisp knocking sound of "Pengpeng" sounded.
"Come in and sit down." Wang Jike opened the door and welcomed the four people into the room.
In fact, Wang Jike didn't rest long in the room. Looking around, he didn't change his clothes. Today's morning newspaper from Rongcheng was spread out on the desk.
After entering the room, Wang Jike sat in the main seat, and Hao Cheng, Huang Fei, Liu Li, and Wang Qiang sat in the guest seats.
"Dad, these are my friends Huang Fei, Hao Cheng, and Liu Li. You should have seen them all." Wang Qiang said first.
"Yes, we all know each other." Wang Jike said, "Hao Cheng, how far have you mastered your master's Soviet-style pastries?"
As expected, the first thing he said was to ask about his cooking skills, without being polite.
Hao Cheng replied: "Well... there is still a lot of distance between me and my master. I am currently focusing on studying Su Xi cuisine."
Jiangsu cuisine, like Sichuan cuisine, has several factions, mainly divided into Jinling, Huaiyang, Suxi and Xuhai. Among them, Xuhai is salty and similar to Shandong cuisine, while Suxi has a light taste and focuses on color and aroma, while Huaiyang cuisine It's sweet and salty, and Jinling is all about knife skills and elegance.
"Well, very good. Be dedicated. Your cooking skills don't depend on how many cuisines you master, but how well you can study one of the cuisines." Wang Jike said.
Hao Cheng said: "Thank you Chef Wang Jike for the tip. My master said the same thing."
"I just had dinner with Brother Huang a few days ago. He told me that his kid has a very good cooking talent." Wang Jike turned to Huang Fei and asked, "Have you worked hard to fulfill your talent?"
"I have been polishing my basic skills. I feel that there is still room for improvement in my basic skills." Huang Fei replied.
Wang Jike nodded: "Well, the basic skills must be solid, otherwise no matter how high the talent is, it will be a castle in the air and will be broken at the first push."
"Thank you Chef Wang, I will definitely remember it." Huang Fei said.
"Liu Li, you promised me before that if you want to lose weight, no matter what the craft is, the body is more basic than the basics. After you get too fat, your body functions, physical condition, and sensitivity will decline." Wang Jike's gaze lingered. Liu Li's expression gradually became sharp.
"That..." Liu Li didn't know how to answer, so he could only falter.
"Dad, it's time for us to go. If we don't go, we won't be able to get in line." Wang Qiang spoke up in time.
"Well... I'll give you a private lesson when you come back. I'll go there at least three times a week." Wang Jike stood up.
"Uncle Wang, you don't need to spend any money. I can do it myself." Liu Li said quickly.
"It's not a waste of money." Wang Jike said, "If you think I'm a waste of money, you can privately transfer the money for the private lessons to me. I don't have a big problem."
After saying that, Wang Jike showed no intention of further discussion and followed Wang Qiang into the elevator.
Liu Li didn't know what expression he should have on his face, so he could only follow behind with his head lowered.
You really worked hard, Wang Qiang said helplessly.
In fact, from childhood to adulthood, Wang Jike always gave Wang Qiang face in front of outsiders. Even when he was in elementary school and did very poorly in the exam, he would never reprimand him in front of his classmates.
Regarding the gym, Wang Jike is born in the 1950s, but he often goes to the gym.
Can you believe it? Wang Jike still has abdominal muscles and back muscles.
As Wang Jike said himself just now, the body is the most basic. He has not surpassed Hang Tian yet and must stay healthy.
In fact, Wang Qiang secretly thought in his heart that with his current body, his father could live longer than the other four tigers. When the time comes...
Wang Qiang and others still arrived a little late. The first batch couldn't make it, so they had to wait in line for the second batch.
As it gets closer to dinner time at Yuanzhou's restaurant, the queue gets longer and longer.
Wang Jike asked: "Do chef Yuan's restaurants have so many people queuing up every day?"
"We just got the number. Chef Yuan's restaurant can't be full, but there are no seats available for more than one minute during business hours." Wang Qiang said: "If you get the number, you will have a seat, but if you don't get the number, there will be no seats." a lot of."
"Well, it's pretty much what the newspaper said." Wang Jike nodded.
"Dad, do we really not need to talk to Chef Yuan?" Wang Qiang mentioned this matter again.
Wang Jike said: "I'm visiting temporarily or during business hours. How rude are you? So I just treat myself as a diner and have a meal. Of course I want to try that three-chased dish that you boasted about."
In the last paragraph, Wang Jike had a rare mood swing. It was obvious that he didn't think he would lose to Yuan Zhou.
For a competition on the same dish, at least all aspects such as knife skills, heat, and seasoning must be equal. As for winning or losing, the other dish must be significantly ahead of one of them. This is called a win.
It's normal to think about it. Yangzhou Sancha is Wang Jike's specialty. How could he feel that he is inferior to others? Besides, if Wang Jike admits defeat so easily, he is no longer Wang Jike.
In Wang Jike's opinion, Yuanzhou's Yangzhou Sancha is at best different from him.
Each has his own merits. This is already a very high evaluation. You must know that Yuan Zhou is only from Sichuan Province and has never lived in Jiangsu Province.
"It won't get better today." Huang Fei sighed secretly in his heart.
Hao Cheng on the other side also felt that no matter whether he won or lost, it would never pass in peace.
The first batch of customers went in to order, and it was like the previous incident where 9 yuan broke the bottom of the sea.
Some friends posted a post on the Internet about "Chef God's Shop on Qiongyou Check-in". Unlike Haidilao's post that could be taken advantage of, this "Chef God's Shop on Qiongyou Check-in" has a relatively positive outlook.
Order a 98 rice dish, then check in for a meal at Chef God's shop, and leave in a hurry. Speaking of which, this is someone who has spent money at the most famous restaurant in China.
Although 98 Soft Girl Coins is a lot, it is definitely within the reach of most people.
Moreover, Mi Bai can be made in various ways and can be eaten in an unconventional way.
Many people discussed: "It is recommended to have a good meal before a meal to open up the appetite.", "It is better to eat after a meal, otherwise you will eat Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship and eat other things, which will taste the same!"...
There was a heated debate about before and after meals. To put it bluntly, they were discussing whether to eat after eating or to eat after going. After all, a bowl of rice would definitely not fill you up.
This debate has not yet been concluded.
In the second batch, it was the turn of the five Wang Qiang people, and the five people entered the store.
Wang Qiang, Hao Cheng, Huang Fei, and Liu Li still ordered according to their own plans.
Wang Jike, on the other hand, simply ordered roasted square, barbecued duck and barbecued mandarin fish.
In fact, Roast Fang used to be called barbecued suckling pig, so Yangzhou Sancha is actually three dishes with the word "fork" in it. It has no other meaning. At the same time, Sancha can be said to be the three must-have dishes in Yangzhou people's banquets.
Although Wang Jike was the first to order, he was the one who paid. After all, he was the elder, so he directly asked him to pay.
Naturally, the other four people did not dare to say anything. They could only thank each other one by one and quietly order their meals and then sit down.
"Don't look at me, just do what you usually do." Wang Jike saw that the four of them were a little reserved and said calmly.
"Okay, Dad."
"Yes, Chef Wang Jike."
After a few people responded, they turned back to look at Yuan Zhou and couldn't help but feel relieved.
After Wang Jike on the side finished speaking, he also turned his attention to Yuan Zhou in the kitchen.
