Watching the two old men ordering their food, they were about to leave.

Yu Han hurriedly came forward to talk.

"Old sir, the dishes I heard you ordered just now don't seem to be in the menu, right?"

The short old man looked at Yu Han and recognized the young man who was in front of him just now.

So he nodded: "Well, they are all old cuisines from the past."

The old man came to the store today just because he wanted to taste the special dishes in the store. He was thinking about eating two authentic old-style dishes.

What's more, he is accompanied by an old friend with whom he has a close relationship.

He smells like the fireworks of the old Bei'an market. He is very poor and does not have the air of an old man who is willing to preach.

He is good at talking and straightforward, but does not make people feel indifferent, and he is familiar with everyone, and he can get around the other person in just a few sentences.

Therefore, Yu Han was interested in asking about the special and classic dishes in the store.

The old man cooperated and introduced the dishes he ordered.

The short old man asked: "Have you ever heard of river eel stewed in wine? Have you ever eaten river eel? Have you ever tried it? Roasted, fried, have you never eaten wine stewed? Tsk tsk, if you have eaten this, then it is called a San.

The moon doesn’t know what fish tastes like!”

"Let me tell you, the most authentic way to eat fish here, besides steaming it, is to stew it in wine! Especially this river eel, after being stewed in wine, the taste is simply amazing!"

Yu Han was very excited after hearing this.

The tall old man chatted next to him: "Yes, I love all the dishes you ordered, especially millet crab. It's much more flavorful than seafood porridge, and it's also nourishing!"

The short old man showed off his belly and acted like an expert: "But, the river eel stewed in wine is not the most delicious thing they have here."

The tall old man agreed: "Qianlima's braised eel glue for fortune uses authentic oily eel glue."

Yu Han was stunned: "Old sir, what do you mean?"

The tall old man tilted his head and glanced at the short old man, who suddenly smiled.

The old man then explained to Han Mei with joy: "This oil-fried eel glue is cooked by soaking it in hot oil. Ordinary stores will not cook it like this for you. This hot-oil soaking will test the chef's skills!"

"And these vegetable meatballs, only the master chefs like those in the kitchen know what vegetables are used for these meatballs and how to make them."

Speaking of this matter, the tall old man couldn't help but interjected: "Speaking of it, the taste of the Nostoc balls made by Chollima is somewhat different. I remember eating Braised Eel for Fortune when I was young.

The vegetable balls inside the glue were sold out as soon as they were served."

"The vegetable meatballs are more delicious and fragrant than eel glue!"

Yu Han deceived the two old men until his mouth was full of laughter, and he kept asking: "Old man, is this dish really so delicious? Is the spicy crayfish in their store still delicious? There is also an improved big crayfish.

Is the harvest stew better than this?"

The smile on the old man's lips gradually deepened, and he said cheerfully: "That's for sure, let me tell you, this dish, until now, it has to be the classic and old-fashioned flavor to be the most authentic and delicious!"

After the two old men finished speaking, they followed the waiter who had been waiting for a long time to the box.

Yu Han was very excited when he heard that. He turned to the orderer and said: "I don't want what I ordered before. Just give me the same one as the table they ordered just now."

The ordering clerk was already mentally prepared, so he hurriedly searched for and placed the order.

After Yu Han finished explaining, he thought of something and asked again: "By the way, is there a chef named Fu in your kitchen?"

The orderer hurriedly introduced: "Yes, there is a chef in our back kitchen named Fu Yu. His cooking skills are very exquisite."

That's right.

Yu Han specifically asked: "I will also let Fu Chu do this order. Please make a note for me to make sure there is no mistake."

The orderer nodded: "Don't worry."

Then, the order was placed directly on Fu Yu's head.

...

During meal time, the kitchen was busy.

Fu Yu finally escaped from the baking area and was trapped in the red gum area to take orders.

The ordering clerk trotted over to the back kitchen to deliver the order.

"Fu Chu, an order form from an old customer!"

Fu Yu nodded and reached out to take it: "Oh, big banquet noodles and small banquet noodles?"

The orderer hurriedly said: "Xiao Xi Noodles, the customer is a new face. I don't know if I was introduced to it by someone, but the dishes I ordered are all old-fashioned dishes, and they are not on the menu."

At this point, the order clerk continued: "However, listening to them, they sound like regular customers of the store, but they haven't been here much in the past two years."

Fu Yu was looking at the dishes on the order list when the orderer suddenly said: "By the way, when I came here just now, I heard a customer next to me who seemed to have ordered the same dish!"

"Those two old men placed your order directly. It must have been recommended by someone."

After all, the old man said it himself that he had not eaten in the restaurant in the past two years, and Fu Yu's working experience was just over a year.

Fu Yu nodded and looked carefully at the dishes on the order list.

Wine-braised river eel, fresh solitary fish eggs, sake lees field fish, fortune-braised eel gelatin, and a portion of millet river crab.

Four dishes and one staple.

It is indeed a small banquet.

However, Fu Yu had never heard of this dish, not to mention that it was on the recipe.

As for these dishes, since they can be ordered, it means that they have indeed been sold, but they must have been taken off the shelves in the past two years because there are too few people ordering.

The store changed the recipe twice, and this dish was eliminated.

Now I am reminded of it by an old customer and order again.

After Fu Yu understood it, he felt that these dishes were very similar to the existing dishes in the store.

But......

If the names of dishes ordered by customers are different, it means the cooking methods are different.

It may also be that the dishes that are retained now are improved and innovative dishes.

After all, the improved taste of dishes will be more in line with modern people's dining habits and preferences.

Zhang Jinyu followed beside him and couldn't help but raise his head to look at the order form, and was also stunned.

What are you ordering?

Are there any dishes like this in the store?

"Fu Chu, what should I do?"

A few years ago, the store had its rest days changed and all the kitchen staff were assigned shifts.

Because time is tight and the New Year is approaching, the number of people taking breaks is based on two people taking a break every day.

Fu Yu was in the queue yesterday, and today it's Zhao Meng's turn.

Everyone knows that after this shift, there will be no rest until the first day of the new year, so everyone is looking forward to it.

Fu Yu looked at the order list, thought for a moment, and posted it on the kitchen wall. He decided to check out the classic old-style recipes first to determine the cooking methods of these dishes.

Then call Zhao Meng and ask carefully. If there is any discrepancy between the two, just follow the cooking method in the store.

So he said to Zhang Jinyu: "Please tidy up the kitchen table first. I'll take a look over here and contact Chef Zhao."

Zhang Jinyu nodded and turned around to get busy.

Fu Yu took out his cell phone, stepped aside, secretly called up a classic old recipe, and started looking through it.

Fortunately, you can find these dishes and the cooking methods are also very complete.

However, this wine stew, wine lees... stewed eel paste seems to have some similar ingredients, and the cooking methods are also different.

Fu Yu has really never had much exposure to the cooking operation of using wine to prepare dishes.

But now I suddenly received this order.

What does this mean?

Fu Yu's mind raced and he thought of the daily task he received in the morning.

It seems like this is another time to teach him new cooking skills?

Fu Yu immediately cheered up.

He read through the cooking methods of several dishes one by one.

Because the steps are detailed, it doesn't seem to be difficult.

These dishes are special and rarely seen.

Next, Fu Yu began to learn the cooking methods one by one, carefully memorizing the difficulties and key points of each detailed operation.

It is no longer difficult for him to cook according to the recipes.

What he lacks is rich cooking experience and knowledge and understanding of various dishes.
