The pockets are all empty

Such a banquet of local fish was cooked into a rare and delicious dish.

This is already a success!

That’s right!

Fu Yu can show a table of fresh river fish with various wonderful cooking techniques, which can make a chef like Ji Hong feel satisfied and praise him repeatedly. This is his great ability!

Who can do it?

Let’s not talk about whether they dare to abandon the restaurant’s famous seafood soup and directly replace it with ordinary fish soup on such an occasion.

Just say, who can boil a bowl of crucian carp soup to the point where the bones are not falling apart and the meat is not broken into pieces?

Who can control the heat of the soup so accurately and stop the fire at the most appropriate time to serve the soup?

The two chefs brought by Ji Honghe should ask themselves!

Can they do this?

The skin of crucian carp is thin and the meat is tender, so it tastes delicious. When making soup, basically all the bones and meat are used to make the soup.

But Fu Yu did it.

Together with Sun Qingning and Zhang Jiaxin, neither of whom has a long working experience as a chef, they managed to cook such an amazing fish soup with ease.

This is ability!

Undoubted culinary prowess.

Ji Hong looked at Fu Yu with eyes full of appreciation!

Yao Shi looked proud. This was the team leader sent by his own store. How could he not be outstanding?

And Dong Juntian tasted a bowl of fish soup, which was also delicious and smacked his tongue. He actually felt the rare nostalgia and friendship after a long absence.

His own restaurant specializes in seafood, and he grew up with his father, so he was used to eating these things, so he didn't really like fish banquets and all kinds of seafood.

Even if I drink soup, it is usually some mellow mutton soup or beef soup.

He never ate in the canteen of the store, and rarely ate the food in the store.

If you think about it carefully, it's been quite some time since I've had a fish feast and a bowl of authentic fish soup.

Dong Juntian had a bowl of delicious fish soup in his stomach, but it was still not enough. He poured another bowl. When he served it before, he didn't pay attention to it. Now that he had finished drinking the clear soup and wanted to fish out the meat, he realized that the fish meat seemed to be stable.

It was hanging on the fish bones, but when touched with a spoon, the whole piece fell apart. When it was put into the soup bowl, with a gentle stir, the fish meat immediately broke into flakes and melted into the soup.

When did the fish soup in this shop become so wonderful!

Dong Juntian subconsciously looked at Yao Shi, wanting to ask quietly if there had been any improvements in the kitchen.

Ji Hong suddenly turned to look at Dong Juntian, pointed at Fu Yu, and sighed: "Boss Dong, Xiao Fu is really an excellent chef!"

"I came to the right place for today's cooking learning exchange! Although Xiao Fu is young, his cooking skills are no worse than mine. He even achieved a level of cooking operations that I may not be able to do.

Precise heat control, decisive seasoning ratio selection, and a solid foundation in cooking skills, these are all things that can only be achieved over a long period of time. To be honest, I really admire you!"

"As long as you are willing to concentrate on studying cooking, you will definitely achieve something. As the saying goes, if you don't practice for one day, your hands and feet will be slow, if you don't practice for two days, you will lose half of your skills, if you don't practice for three days, you will be a layman, and if you don't practice for four days, you will be dumb."

"I see, if Xiao Fu can keep up his current momentum, he will become a top leader famous in our province in terms of catering in your store before long!"

These words made Dong Juntian a little stunned, but he turned around to look at Fu Yu, who was unfazed by honor and disgrace, and then looked at the fresh fish soup in front of him, and couldn't help but fall silent.

Cooking is unlike other things. It is useless to rely on talent alone. You need to learn more and practice more. Only with a solid foundation can you have the opportunity to hone your cooking skills.

But there is no chef with a high level of cooking skills who has a poor foundation in cooking.

Ji Hong could tell just from this cooking observation.

Although Fu Yu is young, it is almost certain that someone has taught him how to cook since he was a child. It is impossible for his cooking skills to reach this level without more than ten years of training.

Because he had made a judgment in his mind, Ji Hong consciously acquiesced that Fu Yuyi must have studied under a famous teacher, or that an elder in his family was in this field. He had been exposed to it since he was a child and had the foundation and conditions for learning.

Fu Yu also benefited a lot from this exchange activity.

But what he was more interested in was Jiweizhai’s special Hunan cuisine.

Bei'an is too far away from Western Hunan, and Fu Yu has never tasted authentic Xiangxi cuisine before.

Now that I am chatting with Ji Hong, I have developed a strong interest in the authentic Xiangxi cuisine.

Ji Hong now no longer looked down upon Fu Yu as he did when they first met him. Seeing that Fu Yu was interested in his specialty dishes, Ji Hong cooperated and introduced the specific characteristics of the dishes in detail.

"What we in Xiangxi cuisine are very particular about is eating the vegetables and ingredients. What you eat is the flavor of the food itself and the flavor of the sauce you make yourself."

"And we also pay special attention to local ingredients and local cooking methods. Whether it is fruits, vegetables, livestock, or fish, shrimps, and wild products, they are all selected from nature in the mountains, especially the fresh bamboo shoots, wild vegetables, and radishes that are most praised."

"Of course, the most popular dishes like jar meat and bacon in our store are the most authentic ways to make them."

Ji Hong was also very interested when talking about his best dishes.

While the two were chatting animatedly, a waiter came in to deliver the message that Fu Yu's exclusive regular customer had placed an order.

Since Fu Yu started to cook independently, he has gradually started to have his own exclusive regular customers.

On the one hand, it was because of the live broadcast of the takeaway barbecue evaluation last year that made Fu Yu a little popular. Many customers came here to order his cooking and wanted to try his cooking skills.

On the other hand, Fu Yu has indeed made significant progress in cooking operations, and unknowingly began to develop his own unique cooking habits.

The chef's cooking habits will directly lead to subtle differences in the taste and presentation of the dishes.

If you know how to eat, you can tell the difference just by looking at it and tasting it.

Personal preferences vary. Naturally, some people prefer the taste of dishes cooked by Fu Yu, so they find out which chef makes their favorite dish. Next time they think about it, they will place an order specifically for this chef.

Try your favorite dish again.

Hearing that an old customer was ordering food, Fu Yu quickly stood up, said hello to everyone present, and prepared to leave the table and go to the kitchen to cook.

Seeing this, Ji Hong hurriedly said: "We've almost finished eating here, so why don't we just go over and watch?"

The two people traveling together expressed their agreement.

Ji Hongdu brought it up, so Dong Juntian and Yao Shi naturally wouldn't stop it.

Moreover, seeing that Ji Hong and his party were very interested in observing Yu's cooking, Yao Shi felt sincerely honored.

This also made Dong Juntian secretly happy. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and acted according to the opportunity and agreed to Liu Yongping's suggestion.

He also knew that Fu Yu was a very good young chef, but he did not expect that the first exchange and learning would go so smoothly.

After all, hotels like these that are also participating in election campaigns are competing with each other.

It's said to be learning and communicating, but it actually means showing each other's strength to some extent.

Not to say that the east wind prevails over the west wind, at least let other competitors who come to the store to observe and learn, understand the strength and advantages of your own store.

But now, Ji Hong and others were clearly conquered by Fu Yu's cooking skills.

Seeing that Ji Hong and others were about to follow him to the kitchen to observe, Dong Juntian was not impatient, but was very happy to see the results.

It is something to be proud of if a chef in your own restaurant can be recognized by other colleagues.

So the group of people left the private room and went directly to the kitchen.

Dong Juntian saw Yao Shi accompanying Ji Hong, talking and walking forward, so he did not step forward to interrupt, but followed behind, winking at Wang Jingrui, and motioned for him to come and observe.

Wang Jingrui naturally had no objection. Although he was not a professional and only knew a little about cooking, he had been a restaurant owner for so many years, so he could tell a little bit about the chef's skills.

Especially after having just eaten the fish banquet cooked by Fu Yu himself, I couldn't help but think more highly of the young chef.

Wang Jingrui glanced at Yao Shi, who was walking in front and had quite an aura. He turned to look at his old friend and couldn't help but test it out: "Old Dong, I see that Fu Yu is really good. His cooking skills are so good at such a young age."

Gao Chao, no wonder Liu Yongping and the others proposed to cooperate with Fu Yu. As long as Fu Yu is not the chef in your store, I will be tempted to poach him."

Dong Juntian was distractedly thinking about the fact that Ji Hong and others accidentally mentioned just now that Fu Yu's image is completely qualified to be the image spokesperson of the store.

When he suddenly heard Wang Jingrui's words, he didn't think deeply about it. He pretended to be angry and said, "How dare you! I told you, if someone pries my chef, that will make me more angry than my wife!"

Wang Jingrui never expected that Dong Juntian would react like this. He couldn't help but joke.

We walked into the kitchen while joking and didn't bring up the previous topic again.

The waiter went to the private room to deliver the message, and then reported the message to the chef.

When Fu Yu and others came over, the kitchen looked busy and orderly.

After Ji Hong saw it, he couldn't help but praise Dong Juntian again.

Others moved over to the kitchen counter one after another.

Zhao Meng also winked at Yu, indicating that the order form had been placed on the kitchen counter!

The originally clean kitchen table was already filled with all the necessary preparations.

Fu Yu checked it out and could basically guess what the customers ordered without looking at the order form.

However, he still carefully read the contents on the order form, especially the customer's note requirements.
