Chapter 349: The Cook's Crisis
Chang Bai's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, and there were five plates of duck in front of him, and there was still steaming on it, which looked similar to Qi Ling's appearance, but the taste was not one or two points.
The chefs on the opposite side were also puzzled, originally thinking that Chang Bai was deliberately picking on thorns, but after they ate the spiced duck themselves, they were greatly shaken by their work.
As Chang Bai said, these are basically two things!
But the steps and materials are similar, huh? The spices they also took apart the cloth bag and identified them one by one, and it was absolutely impossible to go wrong, but how could the taste be so different?
Could it be a matter of heat?
Everyone immediately thought of this problem, the woman had been rolling over when she was frying the duck, because the process of frying the duck was so common that everyone skipped it directly without taking it seriously, but unexpectedly this became the most difficult level to overcome.
"Smack!" Chang Bai's face was gloomy, "Why are you still stunned, what are you doing here, you have been a cook for so long, can't you even compare to a woman?" And what the hell are you? The duck's body has not been cleaned of the fine down, waiting for the guests to eat and prick their throats? ”
"Get back in here!"
Lao Chengtou is not there, Chang Bai is one of the best speakers here, and no one dares to refute him when he speaks, so he has to go down with a bitter face, but this is already the third plate of ducks they have made!
If this is not qualified, then will the restaurant not be open for business?
Now how Chunfeng Lou has nothing to do with Qi Ling, she can make such a flavor of spiced duck is not a day, as a cook, who doesn't need to be able to be perfect and add some understanding?
Anyway, the silver was also in hand, just in time for Ning Ke to come, so he bought a table full of good dishes, and he was satisfied with the food, and finally left happily, explaining that the beef strips that would come and go again were ready for Qi Ling.
Not long after he left, Gu Jinfeng called out to her.
"What's wrong?" Qi Ling looked at his serious face and couldn't help asking, "Why are you so serious all of a sudden?" ”
"You really don't remember anything?"
Qi Ling was stunned, "You... What do you mean by this, could it be that you suspect that I have something to hide from Ning Ke? ”
He shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, your eyes don't lie, which is why Ning Ke left so happily today, but I hid it from him." ”
Her eyes widened suddenly, "What are you hiding from him?!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a silver hairpin inlaid with jade from his sleeve and handed it to Qi Ling, so shocked that she took a few steps back and stammered, "You don't want to say that this silver hairpin is mine, right?" ”
"It's yours, but when I picked you up, I was holding this silver hairpin tightly in my hand, I put it away at the time, and then I wanted to find a chance to return it to you, but I forgot it because I was busy... You don't blame me, do you? ”
The latter sentence had a flattering taste, and Qi Ling laughed with a 'poof' laugh, "I blame you for what you did, I'm glad you didn't take it out!" ”
"Then the goods will be returned to their original owners." As he spoke, he inserted the silver hairpin into her bun, this jade didn't know what it was made of, and it was faintly glowing with a faint green luster under the moonlight, Gu Jinfeng turned the hairpin slightly, but suddenly found something that seemed to be hidden in it.
He hurriedly took down the silver hairpin again, rotated the position of the jade inlay, and heard a slight crisp sound, and the jade block on the top was slowly taken down, and the jade was hollow inside.
"What is this?"
Gu Jinfeng looked around, then pulled Qi Ling up and walked into the room, quickly closing the door.
Under the reflection of the candlelight, the thin head of the silver hairpin was used to pick out the contents of the jade, which was a strip of cloth.
This strip of cloth seems to have been buckled from somewhere, and there are still silky lines on the edge, the strip of cloth is very old, and after it is unfolded, there is a poem written on it: 'Longqing forty years, Qingyin Mountain Hide. ’
Qi Ling frowned: "Do these two poems have any meaning?" ”
Gu Jinfeng secretly wrote it down, and then turned over and over the strip of cloth to check it, and after making sure that there was nothing, he directly approached the fire candle, and the small strip of cloth was quickly ignited, and it was burned into ashes in a moment.
Qi Ling didn't ask him why he did it, because she knew there must be a reason for him.
Gu Jinfeng spun the jade up again, and turned it into the intact silver hairpin before, he brushed the broken hair in front of Qi Ling's forehead, with a trace of pity in his eyes.
Five years ago, he was still the Gu family concubine who was not valued and always excluded, and he had heard about this case at that time, and everyone was discussing how rich the bandits who had entered the village should become, but no one sighed how wronged the more than 300 lives that died.
In this way, it would be a blessing if she really didn't remember.
No matter what means Qi Ruhai used to hide the child, but under the circumstances at that time, it was undoubtedly the two children who witnessed everything that were the most painful.
If he was unsure before, Gu Jinfeng was relieved, but now that he has found a clue in this silver hairpin, Qi Ling's identity is self-evident.
No wonder this girl is so good at doing business, even if her memory is almost forgotten, she still has that instinct, but the daughter of the richest man is a little money fan who knows how to eat and drink every day to make money.
Qi Ling couldn't stand his sudden sensationalism, and hurriedly took a few steps back, "You... If you have something to say, just say it, why are you looking at me like this, I have goosebumps all over my body! ”
"......" Gu Jinfeng pursed his lips, and finally had to look helpless.
The two of them didn't tell Ning Ke about today's events very tacitly, he hurried over early in the morning, sat down on the stone chair under the tree leisurely, and ate the breakfast made by Qi Ling, which was called a beautiful one!
Gu Jinfeng didn't ask for leave because he happened to have a more important course today, picked up the food box made by Qi Ling and rode away, and Ning Ke spit on this loving little appearance!
Isn't there a target? Hum!
Qi Ling looked at his rolling eyes and couldn't help laughing, "If you are envious, you can find one yourself!" ”
Ning Ke picked up the porridge and drank the last mouthful, "I don't want it, it's good to be alone, besides, you women are too troublesome, don't don't!" ”
"What you said is good, don't envy others when the time comes." After Qi Ling finished speaking, he walked into the kitchen to prepare to make jerky, and by the way, he also bought some pork and made some pork shops by the way, which were spicy and sweet, and it was also enjoyable to eat!
But just when she was about to do it, there was a quick knock at the door, Ning Ke was idle and spontaneously went to open the door, and when she opened the door, she saw three or four men shouting menacingly, "Let's find Miss Qi!" Is she at home? ”
Ning Ke frowned, and found that this matter was not simple, so he leaned lazily on the door panel and asked, "What are you looking for her?" ”
One of the men looked him up and down and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Miss Qi's eldest brother, a few of you, you look so vicious, you don't look like a good person, say, what are you doing here?!"
Qi Ling, who was busy in the front hall, heard movement in the front hall and walked out to take a look, and found that the few people who confronted Ning Ke were not the cooks of Chunfeng Building?!
She was surprised, "What are you doing here?" ”
As soon as the men saw her, they immediately cried and shouted, "Miss Qi, save us!" ”
“…… Ha? ”
It turns out that these men are the chefs who were named out to make spiced duck yesterday, and they have been doing it all day but they are still not up to standard, Chang Bai seems to be angry, and he directly put down the cruel words If you can't do it today, then get out of here!
These cooks came here after thinking about it, thinking that Qi Ling would teach them again.
"So you're looking for me?"
The men nodded aggrievedly, "There's really no way, Miss Qi, no matter how we improve, the taste is still much worse, Chef Chang is notoriously strict, he thinks that such a simple dish should achieve the same taste, but... It's too embarrassing! ”
Qi Ling took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Then you guys should tell me, what's the problem?" ”
"Chef Chang said that the fine fleece on the surface is not clean."
"And the skin of the duck is not tender enough."
"And say that the meat is too firewood......"
