Chapter 163 Chinese Medicine in Dishes

Xia Liu returned to Hejing County with a cart full of medicinal herbs.

He didn't go to Longyun, but to Longteng.

After letting the kitchen staff move the medicinal materials into the kitchen, Xia Liu began to classify.

When he was done, he took a notebook and began to write.

"Chairman, what are you doing here?" After seeing Xia Liu transcribe a few pages of paper, Ye Ming dared to step forward and ask.

"The new menu of the hotel, and how the specialties are made. ”

"New menu?" Ye Ming couldn't help but glance at his notebook, and he was instantly shocked.

Seeing Ye Ming's surprise, Xia Liu told him the matter in detail.

In fact, Longteng's side is almost out of oil, and the lamp is dry.

Every autumn, it is the off-season for both hotels.

In winter, the income of the hotel depends on the room to earn, and without the catering, there will be a lot less income.

This year, as in previous years, Ye Ming didn't say much about this matter.

But he didn't expect that Xia Liu would want to rectify it.

If successful, then the so-called low season of winter will not exist!

"I'll make a batch of Longyun's menus first, and then I'll make Longteng's. ”

"What does the chairman need me to do?" Looking at Xia Liu, who was full of confidence, Ye Ming felt a little embarrassed.

This kind of thing should have been planned by him, but now he actually let the boss plan it, and it is a shame.

"Of course you need to, you go and advertise me, and the one-hour tasting activity will start at eight o'clock tonight at the Longyun Hotel. Xia Liu nodded, if the menu is changed and there is no popularity, then it is the same as not changing, so it must be advertised.

"Okay, is the food tasting free, or is there a fee?"

"It's all free, but only between eight and nine. ”

After getting Xia Liu's reply, Ye Ming went back to the office to plan.

First of all, Ye Ming made a phone call to the TV station and told them that the Longyun Hotel would be very popular at night.

As for why, he didn't explain, anyway, he just gave the TV station a mystery.

In addition, Ye Ming also contacted several forum friends and posted news of tasting on various forums in Hejing County.

Not only that, but he also called the company that produced the advertisement in the county and asked them to make a poster as quickly as possible.

The Long Yun Hotel tasted the posters, then hung up in a car and went out to parade.

After some command, it was already an hour later, and Ye Ming went to the kitchen again.

Before he could reach the door, he was blocked by a group of people, all of whom were hotel waiters.

They kept looking up at the kitchen.

The expression was so intoxicated.

Ye Ming wanted to speak out about these waiters, but when he smelled the fragrance that filled the air.

The heart calmed down at once, and this fragrance seemed to be a taste that could only be eaten on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Seeing Ye Ming's arrival, the waiters quickly dispersed.

After entering the kitchen, Ye Ming found the source of the fragrance.

That's a plate of extremely ordinary fish!

He leaned in and sniffed it carefully, and finally determined that the charming fragrance emanated from this plate of fish.

But the problem is, this plate of fish doesn't even have any decorations, how can it be so fragrant!

He glanced at the kitchen staff, and everyone's eyes were wide open.

It's as if the soul is out of the body, and the mind is all in its own world.

He didn't dare to disturb Xia Liu at the moment, because Xia Liu was holding more than and was shaking, and the spoon in his hand was constantly scooping the ingredients.

The speed of the operation makes people's eyeballs almost unable to keep up, and a few afterimages can be faintly seen!

What shocked Ye Ming the most was that Xia Liu controlled three woks alone!

Cook three dishes at once!

This not only surprised Ye Ming, but the original kitchen staff were already stupid.

They had always thought that Lao Tzu's cooking skills were the best in the world.

When they saw Xia Liu cooking, they didn't even breathe, let alone speak.

They all held their breath and looked at Xia Liu with blank eyes.

Ten minutes later, three more plates were served.

The kitchen is filled with a rich fragrance.

In this aroma, the chef with a good sense of smell can smell an eerie smell mixed in with it.

"Boss, I smell a very fragrant, cool smell in my lungs, what is it?" asked the head chef boldly.

"I remember you as the head chef, you had a good sense of smell, you could even sense the smell. ”

was praised by Xia Liu like this, and the head chef honestly touched his head to show his modesty.

All the chefs looked at Natsu Ryu, hoping that he could explain the eerie aroma.

"Manager Ye, how do you feel?"

"It's fragrant, it feels like you're hallucinating at any moment, it's like wandering in a paradise of food. Ye Ming closed his eyes and said, "Take a sip, my lungs and throat are cool and comfortable, I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere." ”

Suddenly, Ye Ming opened his eyes and stared at Xia Liu with a trembling gaze: "This is the taste of Chinese medicinal materials!"

"Yes, how did my brain react, that smell is the unique fragrance of Chinese medicine. ”

After Ye Ming was surprised, the head chef patted his thigh and became excited at the same time.

Chinese medicine can be used in dishes, as long as a chef understands it.

However, there are many varieties of Chinese medicine, and there are very few that can be used in dishes, and if one is not used reasonably, it will cause food poisoning.

And Xia Liu can add traditional Chinese medicine to achieve this level of dish, which is definitely a perfect match!

"Boss, but we didn't see you add Chinese medicine, and we didn't see any ...... in the dish" The chef's confusion is here.

He and his chefs are all watching Xia Liu's operation, even if there are guests ordering, they will leave a few people here to watch.

From the beginning to the end, they were sure that Xia Liu had not touched any medicinal herbs.

And the techniques of doing these talents are also similar to them.

"You lift the belly of that fish. Xia Liu didn't explain immediately, Jean pointed to the fish on the plate and said.

Ye Ming was the closest, and he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and turn the fish's belly open.

At this time, the crowd gathered around, and when the fish's belly was turned open, they were all stunned.

I saw two red rhizomes in the fish's maw, and I don't need to guess to know that they are traditional Chinese medicine!

The head chef reacted, no wonder he had just seen Xia Liu take some time to rinse the fish.

It turned out to be a Chinese medicine stuffed into the stomach of a fish.

But even so, the taste is too unnatural.

"As long as the herbs are heat-conducted, they will be cooked and emit a powerful aroma, and this is also the case in several other dishes. Xia Liu briefly explained the secrets of traditional Chinese medicine.

Ye Ming and the head chef both picked up chopsticks and turned over several other dishes.

Sure enough, there was a braised pork rib with a few rhizome-like dices in it, and when I picked it up and smelled it, it was sure to be traditional Chinese medicine.

In addition, there is a dish of osmanthus chicken, Xia Liu is boiled in water, except for adding a little salt in the middle, there are no ingredients.

But this dish is the most fragrant.

There is not only a weak medicinal fragrance, but also a fragrance of osmanthus!
