"Master Bi, what do you want us to do? We all listen to you. We beat them!" Deng Jiang said excitedly.
"Yes, beat them!" Deng Hai also encouraged.
"Beat them!" Everyone else agreed.
Morale immediately rose.
Bi Cheng was very excited and ordered: "In the past few days, we have taken turns preparing three meals a day for guests in Haoyuanlou. We will take turns preparing them with the family in Haoyuanlou. Three days before the banquet, we need to make a list of the ingredients for each banquet.
Report to the second shopkeeper."
"In the past few days, Atang and I will tell everyone the dishes we have discussed so that everyone can have an idea of the dishes in advance. We can also practice our craftsmanship when we are not busy..."
After the basic matters were explained, everyone went back to their rooms.
Only Bi Cheng and Yan Yan were left in the room.
Yan Yan made another cup of tea: "How sure are you of winning this banquet?"
Bi Cheng smiled confidently: "If you want to compare with others, the apprentice dare not boast. At Qu Chunping's level, haha, the apprentice really doesn't take him seriously."
However, Yan Yan shook his head and said unhurriedly: "The person you should pay attention to is not Qu Chunping, but another person."
Someone else?
Bi Cheng was a little confused.
Yan Yan: "Have you forgotten why we can't hire a cook in Luwu City?"
Bi Cheng slapped his forehead: Zhang Fat Cat!
This time, in addition to Qu Pingchun, the new head chef of Haoyuan House, other staff from Haoyuan House have also come to help. Among them, the person in charge of purchasing ingredients is the chief comprador of Haoyuan House, Zhang Dafu.
Yan Yan put down the tea cup: "Since Zhang Dafu is in charge of the general comprador, he will definitely make trouble for us when it comes to the ingredients. You need to pay special attention to the ingredients you have brought back in the past few days. Make sure nothing goes wrong before the banquet."
Bi Cheng nodded quickly: "Hey, apprentice must personally check the ingredients these days!"
Yan Yan: "There are also three days of banquet. You need to carefully consider which dishes to choose."
Bi Cheng: "The name of the dish that was reported was already thought up by my apprentice on the way back from Haodong's house. I have drafted a recipe for you to take a look at."
He stood up and took out a list he had just written and presented it to Yan Yan.
Yan Yan took the food order and glanced at it roughly.
The dishes listed on the menu are: Shangfu (1) bone meal lion head, soft pocket red poultry (2) roasted Ma'anqiao, cooked manta ray shrimp (4), Babaojiaguo (5) puree, rich badger meat
Pancakes, braised 3 heads of bighead carp, stir-fried with three shredded shreds in soup, steamed tiger head chicken, oily croaker soup...
They are all typical high-quality banquet dishes from this world. They look lively and decent.
Putting the list back on the table, Yan Yan took a sip of tea slowly: "The menu you prepared can only be used for the first day at most. And it is a game that is guaranteed to lose."
Bi Cheng was embarrassed.
The dishes on the list are all his specialties, and they are also the classic dishes that Haoyuanlou used to serve at banquets.
Although his skills are not as good as Yan Yan's, these dishes are all famous Kung Fu dishes. A chef who doesn't order real Kung Fu will feel weak after just one look at this menu.
And Bi Cheng can guarantee that at Qu Pingchun's level, he would not be able to cook a few of the dishes above.
Bi Cheng originally wanted to use this recipe on the final day of the competition. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took it out, Yan Yan was shocked.
Seeing the unconvinced look on his disciple's face, Yan Yan smiled.
With her nails as beautiful as pearls, she lightly tapped on the menu on the table. Yan Yan slowly answered his apprentice's questions.
"We need to prepare two menus, one is for the second manager to hand in, and this one is for boss Hao, Zhang Shamao, the second manager and the gang from Haoyuanlou."
"The other one is the real dish that will be served on the day of our banquet. I personally wrote this second recipe to catch them off guard."
Bi Cheng habitually frowned: "But when the dishes we cook are different from what is written on the list, will we lose the competition? And the side dishes are purchased according to the list, so we
If we don’t cook according to the order, we won’t even have the ingredients.”
Yan Yan smiled and said: "You still expect Zhang Fat Mao to bring us edible ingredients during the fighting banquet? Haha, Zhang Fat Mao has been waiting for this opportunity to deal with us. During the fighting banquet, we didn't have it in the first place.
The ingredients are ready for the pot!”
Bi Cheng was dumbfounded: "No, it can't be that extreme, right? After all, this is a wealthy mansion, and there are stewards and boss Hao!"
Yan Yan sneered: "Bi Cheng, please remember, as long as it is something handled by someone, no matter how glamorous it looks on the outside, there is always something dirty going on behind the scenes!"
Nothing is worse than holding a cup in hand, and seeing the moon in the sky for a few hundred years. This is what Yan Yan believes in.
"Zhang Dafu could have bribed the manager and colluded with him to insist on giving us the good ingredients. The boss would not personally monitor the distribution of the ingredients. Then we would be unable to argue!"
"For such a big banquet, all the top dignitaries in Luwu City are sitting here. The news that you, Bi Cheng, secretly stole the ingredients of the mansion will spread throughout Luwu City in an instant. Which dignitary will dare to invite you to cook it in the future?
Cai? Your reputation, Bi Cheng, is completely over in Luwu City!"
Bi Cheng was sweating all over his face after hearing this...
After Yan Yan pointed this out, he finally understood.
In this world, you can't really deal with the dark side. Being capable is not enough. You also need to be flexible, think long-term, and be resourceful!
Bi Cheng was filled with emotion and gratitude.
If it were not for Yan Yan as his master, even if he entered a wealthy mansion, he would still be punished to the point where not even his bones would be left!
Seeing Bi Cheng lost in thought, Yan Yan gently patted his shoulder.
She knew that what Bi Cheng needed was more experience and more scenes. He still couldn't learn how to be humane just by relying on her few words.
"You just draw up the normal menu and hand it over to the second manager according to the specified days. As for our own menu, I know it well, so you don't need to worry about it. You just have to pay close attention to the normal meals for these days.
."
After Yan Yan finished his instructions, he stood up and prepared to go back to his room.
"Hey!" Bi Cheng came back to his senses, responded quickly, and stood up.
With his master here to control the situation, he suddenly felt at ease and didn't panic at all.
When Yan Yan was being sent out, Bi Cheng interjected: "On the way back, the second manager mentioned to me about picking a man, but I declined. I thought we had brought some people anyway, so it would be better to not worry about it."
If many people come here, it’s better not to be clean at all. It’s just that... I see the look on the second manager’s face, he seems a little unhappy.”
Yan Yanhun didn't care: "That's a good push. Don't pay attention to this person. Now that we have established a foreign enemy, if we want to win, we must first ensure that there are no moles under our hands."
"Yeah! This is what my apprentice means too."
After sending Yan Yan to the door, and seeing that she was about to go out, Bi Cheng couldn't help but say: "Master, the apprentice knows that you have come to Hao Mansion and have other important things to do. For this banquet, the apprentice will do it by himself
After taking care of the banquet, just go about your business and don't worry about this."
Yan Yan stopped and turned to look at Bi Cheng.
Note:
(1) "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"???? Bird, shaped like a chicken, eats without lying down.
(2) "The Classic of Mountains and Seas·Nanshan Classic" says that in the mountains of Qingqiu, Yingshui flows out of Yanzhuan, and flows southward into the Jiyi Lake. There are many red ducks among them, their shape is like a fish but with a human face, and their sound is like a mandarin duck.
It's not scabies.
Red turtle: Also called salamander, the so-called giant salamander, it has four legs, a long tail, can climb trees, and is an amphibian.
(3) Dongci No. 1 of the fourth volume of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" "Dongshan Jing" says: "The head of Dongshan, the mountain of Xieyao... the fresh water comes out, and flows from the northeast into the sea. There are many bighead and bighead fish in it, and their shapes
Like a pear or an ox, its sound is like the sound of a pig."
(4) "Western Mountain Sutra" says: "Guan Shui West pours into the quicksand, and there are many stingrays. It looks like a carp, with bird wings and a fish body, and a pale head with a white head and a red beak. It often flies at night, swimming from the West Sea to the East Sea. Its sound
Such as Luan chicken. Its taste is sour and sweet. If you eat it, you will go crazy. If you see it, it will make you big.
Ahem, the last stingray is an original creature in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". As for the stingray and shrimp in the work... it was made up by Yu Xiao. Personally, I think shrimps are more delicious than fish, so...hehehe.
Pictures of these little animals will be attached later. Friends who are interested can go to the home page to enjoy them in "Mountains and Seas", which is also available in the Shuping area. Oh, don't forget to click on it after reading it?
