Chapter Seventy-Six: Someone Watches the Excitement
Bai Lu cooks the dishes, brushes the pot and washes his hands, tidies up the desk, and then there is nothing to do.
Shanfeng has been watching him cook, from entering the pot to getting out of the pot, every action is carefully observed, and he feels that he is a normal chef, especially after loading and serving, looking at the messy four plates of stir-frying, I really feel very ordinary.
A good dish pays attention to color, flavor and fear, but Chef Bai's four-course dishes are more than a little better than those of the small shops on the street, thanks to the high-end tableware of the restaurant and the foil of the plate flowers.
Fragrant, I didn't smell it at all, and I would stir-fry the vegetables by myself, but Chef Bai seemed to be frying boiling water, only to see the water vapor rising, and no vegetable fragrance came out.
As for the taste, I haven't tasted it, so I can't judge it. All in all, the mountain was a bit disappointed, and it wasn't as exciting as expected.
Even a small worker thinks so, not to mention the chef next to him, who is mostly contemptuous or contemptuous. Brother Shui especially looked down on Bai Lu, snorted coldly from time to time, and muttered in a low voice, at this level, dare to come to Zhongcheng Hotel to offer treasures?
Bai Lu didn't move, took a few steps back, and stood quietly. Shanfeng leaned over and asked, "Brother Bai, what else is there to do?" Bai Lu said with a smile: "Let's prepare the dishes, four servings of vegetarian fried tofu." ”
Yes? Shanfeng was stunned for a moment: "Brother Bai, I didn't place this list." "What I thought to myself was, come to a five-star restaurant to eat vegetarian fried tofu? This one, well, it's my loneliness, there is always someone who is good about this, but four copies at once? The mountain peaks are really a little confused.
Bai Lu didn't explain, but he didn't go to get tofu. Because he doesn't know the specific location of the ingredients, he can't turn them over from place to place, right?
A small worker next to him heard Bai Lu speak and whispered: "Four portions of fried tofu? This man is really talented. ”
Shanfeng asked, and seeing that Bai Lu didn't answer, he hesitated and went to get four pieces of tofu back.
Bai Lu picked up a piece and checked it, and instructed Shanfeng: "Get a basin of ice water." ”
The mountain peaks hurried to get busy.
There is water and ice in the kitchen, but ice water is difficult to make. I mixed a bunch of ice cubes with tap water, and I couldn't wait for it, so I had to bring it over like this.
Bai Lu looked at the ice basin, poured three tablespoons of salt into it, then took the tofu in one hand and the knife in the other, and gently began to slice it.
He showed this hand, as long as all the chefs who could see this action all covered their mouths and snickered, and shook their heads secretly: This guy doesn't have the ability, he still wants to put on a score, I really don't know how Lu Dao got into Zhongcheng Hotel.
Cutting tofu is the basic skill of a cook, and it is the same as cutting shredded potatoes, if you can't even cut tofu well...... Well, you can also cut shredded potatoes.
A good cook can cut tofu into shreds, as thick as a toothpick. Huaiyang cuisine has a famous dish, Wensi tofu, in the bowl is thousands of thin tofu shreds, you don't need to eat, just look at it is very beautiful. Thin, or swirling, or scattering, even if it is messy like a dragon's whiskers, it is also a different dragon's whiskers, which will make people feel shocked, and that kind of shock, only if you see it with your own eyes, you can experience it.
There is no simple one in the group of chefs in Zhongcheng Hotel, even if it is Xiaogong Shanfeng, he was also an excellent student in the school at the beginning, and his knife skills are not a problem. Although he may not be able to make a good dish of Wensi Tofu, as long as he is given time, he can always cut out the shredded tofu, even if it is very slow, even if there will be mistakes.
But the big chef Bai in front of him, who only slice it, actually took out the shredded shelf, which was slow and scary, and it couldn't help but make people sigh, this guy's backstage must be very hard.
Looking at Bai Lu's cautious appearance, Shanfeng really wanted to go up and remind: Zhilu Dao, you make vegetarian fried tofu, I take old tofu, don't worry about cutting it, it won't break.
He thinks that it won't be broken is that for the chef, if we do to cut, the broken will still be broken.
But there were people around watching, and Bai Lu was concentrating on his work, and the mountain peak didn't say much.
There are many types of tofu, and we have never seen most of them, so to speak. For example, green tofu, yellow tofu, rainbow tofu. It's blood tofu, which is often eaten.
Because the ingredients are different, the toughness of tofu is also different, the raw material of Japanese tofu is eggs, and after making it, it will be broken when touched, how to shredd?
Of course, Japanese tofu cannot be stir-fried.
In fact, there are many different ways to fry tofu, such as oiling first, such as adding marinade, all to ensure that the tofu is complete and good-looking, and the entrance is mellow.
Seeing Bai Lu cutting the tofu unhurriedly, Shanfeng couldn't bear to look at it anymore, went to take four plates, wiped them again, and began to arrange flowers. But when he was done with all this, Bai Lu was still cutting tofu. Shanfeng shook his head again and again, this boss is so cool, he took the kitchen of a five-star hotel and used it as a school training classroom.
Finally, he waited for him to cut four pieces of tofu and put them neatly in the salted ice water, and then stretched his waist vigorously and said to Shanfeng: "Look at the list, is it time to work?" ”
What the? Do you still want to stir-fry?
Not only was Shanfeng surprised, but more than 20 chefs were around, some with half their mouths, some in disbelief, some laughing, and some whispering. Fortunately, everyone has quality, and no one says ugly words. Only Brother Shui snorted coldly from afar, expressing great disdain.
At this time, Bai Lu is cutting tofu, and the nearby chefs are watching, but the task of the kitchen is to cook, more chefs are always busy, and the food table at the kitchen door is even more busy. At this time, a waitress came to the door, wearing a red cheongsam, tall and good-looking, holding a menu in her hand, and asked the little girl who operated the computer: "Has the supplementary order of the Peony Hall been ordered?" ”
The little girl looked at the computer screen: "It's down." ”
"The guest said that he wanted the master who made the vegetarian fried lettuce just now to take charge."
The little girl said hello, looked at the computer again, and was suddenly stunned, most of the dishes on the menu were made by other chefs, only lettuce, which was made by a new chef I didn't know, and the job number was Deng Hai. So he said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask." ”
got up and trotted to Deng Hai's side, whispered a few words, and then came back and said to the waiter, "It's good." "Let the worker take the list to Bai Lu.
At this time, a group of bored cooks around were taking a look at the play part-time, and Shanfeng was mainly responsible for being surprised.
Seeing that this guy didn't move, Bai Lu asked, "Why don't you go to see the list?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a small worker came over and handed over the menu: "Master, list." ”
Seeing the list sent by the little worker, the surprise of the nearby theater chef doubled, isn't it, just this craft, just this virtue, the little girl in charge of the computer also sent him a list? Could it be that they don't get along?
Someone walked over, looked at the list, good guy, up and down more than a dozen dishes, what oyster sauce this, what abalone sauce and that, and asked the worker: "Xiao Liu, Deng Tou'er agreed?" ”
Since it was Deng Tou'er who brought him, he naturally asked Deng Tou.
Xiao Liu replied: "Deng Tou'er agreed, and the waiter said that the guest specified him to do it." ”
Guest designation?
The chefs were surprised first, and then smiled, it turned out that this is the case, someone spends money to support the scene, of course, this guy has to be appointed to cook, this is to give him face and help him gain a firm foothold. Otherwise, with his cooking skills, how can he come to Zhongcheng Hotel to be a chef?
They thought they had guessed correctly, and they all smiled and said nothing. Especially the guy who has seen the list, he smiled in his heart, do it, hurry up and do it, I see how you do it, abalone juice buckle goose paw, gold medal pigeon king, soy sauce plate dragon eel...... These orderers really know my heart.
Unexpectedly, Bai Lu picked up the list and glanced at it lightly, and threw the list to Xiao Liu: "Tell the guest, don't do it." ”
"Huh?" Not only Xiao Liu was stunned. Dozens of chefs watching the excitement couldn't believe it, this guy is crazy? Dare to refuse a guest? Know that the guest is God! Do you want to do it anymore if you refuse guests?
At this time, a long cheongsam waiter came to the food table, and after a while, the little girl operating the computer shouted: "Xiao Liu, come and get the list, it's still his." "This is the white road.
Xiao Liu ran around quickly and took back a list. Bai Lu didn't look at it, and said directly: "Don't do it." ”
Bai Lu once again refused to cook, and the chefs were no longer surprised, guessing that this guy was a madman. Or he is not a madman, he is a smart person, he knows that his level is limited, and he does not dare to be ashamed.
Brother Shui had just made two dishes, handed over the kitchen bureau to the small worker to clean up, and walked over and sneered: "What do you mean?" You're here to smash the field, aren't you? Offending our guests for our hotel? Deng Touer, Deng Touer. ”
Deng Hai is the chef and is very busy, and when he heard Brother Shui's shouting, he scolded loudly: "What are you shouting? Calling the soul? Give me the hard work. After a few minutes, after finishing the list in his hand, he came over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
In just a few minutes, two more waiters brought over two à la carte menus, both of which were named to the chef who had just made the vegetarian stir-fry. One of the lists is the most ruthless, ordering ten plates of vegetarian stir-frying, all kinds of vegetarian stir-frying, what snow peas and broccoli, the whole is the opening of green vegetables.
Now this list is circulated in the hands of many chefs, one by one crying and laughing, really capable, really talented, vegetarian fried in a five-star restaurant, and one point is ten plates, what a strange thing to do? Don't you think that our restaurant doesn't have high-end dishes?
Seeing that everyone was passing the menu, Deng Hai took it and glanced at it, after sweeping it, he seemed to be a little incredulous, and looked at it again, his face changed several times, first surprised and then puzzled, and then angry: "Which waiter placed the order?" ”
No one answered.
Deng Hai looked at the side again, it was to make up the menu, and he felt a little better, but he still didn't believe it, and walked back to the door with the list: "This list is right?" ”
The little girl who operated the computer replied with a long cheongsam waiter: "That's right. ”
Deng Hai walked back again, with a helpless expression on his face, and threw the list to Bai Lu: "Let's do it, ten servings of vegetarian stir-fry, you want to create a five-star restaurant ordering record." ”
Bai Lu shook his head: "Don't do it." ”
"What's going on?" Deng Hai didn't understand it a little.
Bai Lu picked up the list and said, "These four lists are all supplementary orders, but the dishes I just ordered must not have been eaten long after they were served, so I don't make them." ”
"I still don't get it." Deng Hai has been in this business for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing.
