Food starts from cooking

Chapter 11 Rejection, a Body of Steel

After entering the table, the food looks pretty good. It looks better than the big seats in the general rural houses. It should be that we pay attention to the presentation, but it is not at the level of a hotel.

I thought maybe there were too many seats and it was a little rough, but the most important thing is to look at the taste.

After drinking two cups with Wang Jinhu, Zhao Chengjun decisively picked up the chopsticks and took a sip of the stewed chicken with mushrooms just served. The moment he entered the mouth, the taste immediately made Zhao Chengjun's eyes widen.

Mushrooms are things in the soil. For all things in the soil, the earthy smell is the most taboo when cooking, and every chef has a special way to deal with it, and the most common way is to cover it up, but even if it is a means Gao Ming, this taste will still be more or less lingering.

but……

The mushrooms in this dish are very chewy, which shows that the chef did not destroy the essence of the mushrooms because of the earthy taste, but it has no taste at all.

There is also this chicken, which is tender and delicious, and the selection of ingredients is obviously very particular!
The tender juice of the chicken intrudes into the mushrooms, and the freshness of the mushrooms feeds back into the chicken, and the two complement each other.

"God, this dish..."

Zhao Chengjun was still tasting, but his wife was already screaming.

Wang Jinhu's wife smiled and said, "His aunt, this tastes good!"

"Not...not bad!"

Although Zhao Chengjun's wife was unhappy at first, she didn't mean to be duplicity, she looked at her husband while speaking.

Both of them are businessmen, so they naturally thought of getting together.

Zhao Chengjun smiled and said, "This chef is amazing, just because he handles the mushrooms so well is already better than most chefs!"

As he spoke, he commented, only to be poked in the waist by his wife.

He took a closer look, good guy, a plate of dishes was almost gone, so he quickly picked up some more for himself.

"Brother Wang, your cook..."

Finally asked, Wang Jinhu held back, and immediately said: "He is from the same village, and he can be regarded as Xiaowang's childhood friend. His craftsmanship is indeed very good!"

He didn't get to the point, so Zhao Chengjun broke his face directly: "Then, does Brother Zhao know which hotel he works in?"

Wang Jinhu gave a long oh, understood, and then explained.

"What? Didn't work at the hotel?"

Zhao Chengjun's heart skipped a beat, good guy, did you find a golden lump after eating a meal?

At this time, the follow-up dishes were served one after another, and Zhao Chengjun didn't have time to ask any more questions.

Can't you see that the table next to you is already blooming?
He thought that only a few of the dishes were cooked well, but when the next few dishes were served, Zhao Chengjun was so convinced that he hiccupped at the same time.

"I have eaten so many hotel dishes, and there are very few dishes that can make me eat so happily. I didn't expect to be captured by a big table today!"

Zhao Chengjun wiped his mouth, and saw that there were still many people in the yard, and he thought that the family of his in-laws was so popular!But after thinking about it, so many people are not all attracted by the fragrance!

"Brother, can you show me where to cook?"

"of course can!"

On the other side, even those who had finished their meal still gathered around the stove.

After all, it's just full moon wine, and the dishes are a little less, and in order to avoid the embarrassment of the Li family's marriage, the number of people at the table today has increased, so when eating, everyone is almost scrambling to eat. The steamed buns are dipped in soup!
On the stove side, apart from the children and wives, the most conspicuous things are the dogs. They are all native dogs from the countryside, everyone knows them all, and they may even bark a few times in normal times.

But today, these dogs walked around the stove, drooling all over the floor.

"Looking at the dog is crying!"

"Haha, I'm drooling!"

"The smell of meat, let alone humans, even dogs can't stand it!"

Zhou You threw away the bones of the boiled meat, and several dogs huddled together, one of them was injured, with drooping ears, lying on the ground, looking eagerly at Zhou You.

And Zhao Chengjun and Wang Jinhu have come here.

"Xiao Zhou, I really trouble you today!"

When there is a happy event at home, the rural people's mind is that the visitor is the guest, and the guests should eat and drink well.

They have worked hard on the drinks, but the food can only rely on traveling.

The wedding banquet of Lao Li's family was not enough for everyone to eat, and today's meal even ticked out the gluttons in everyone's stomachs.

"This is Master Zhou!"

Seeing Zhou You, Zhao Chengjun was startled. He thought he was a good-looking talent. Before he came, he thought that Zhou You was at least 40 years old, but with this appearance, he didn't look like a chef.

Wang Jinhu quickly introduced it, and then talked about Zhao Chengjun's occupation.

Zhou You understood.

"this is my name card!"

Zhao Chengjun knew that now was not the time to talk, so he gave his business card, chatted for a while, and then stood by and looked at it, convinced.

Seeing her husband came back, Li Shurui asked, "How is it?"

Zhao Chengjun was slightly excited: "Talent, great talent!"

The key is to be young and handsome, which makes people almost ignore cooking skills.

The food in the hotel needs to be full of color, fragrance, and taste, but now most hotels only pursue presentation. To put it bluntly, those real gourmets don’t care about these, and the taste is the essence.

Li Shurui looked at the other tables, and some people even ate all the plates. In the past, she must have felt nauseous, but looking at the leftover soup on her side today, she also had this urge!

Because they were going to chat with Zhou You, Zhao Chengjun and his wife didn't leave. Li Shurui was also very curious about the chef, so she went to see it when she was free, and was immediately shocked.

That looks, that figure, plus this skill, obediently...

Suddenly regretted it, if he had met Zhou You earlier, wouldn't he be a proper son-in-law?

After all, her family is in the catering business, so maybe this can become a gold-lettered signboard!

pity……

"Uncle, then I'll go first!"

"Come on, take these cigarettes and alcohol!"

Wang Jinhu looked very happy, asked his son to bring a gift, and gave the money to Zhou You.

He knew that after Zhou You burned the mats twice, the price would probably go up. After all, the two burned mats caused such a big commotion that everyone in Lingqu Village would know about it, and his reputation would soon spread to his neighbors. Villages, and even neighboring towns spread.

[Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the task and getting a random reward: a body like steel! 】

Well!
Good guy, this reward cow!
In an instant, the tiredness is cleared, and the spirit is immediately refreshed.

What did he say? After all, he was exhausted by cooking banquets for Uncle Li's house before. Although there were fewer today and there were helpers, he was already exhausted.

Seeing that Zhou You was about to leave, Zhao Chengjun immediately chased after him, and then explained his purpose.

"Don't worry, with your skills, I will give you this number in a month!"

Zhao Chengjun stretched out a few fingers, and said: "And you are still young, and there is huge room for growth in the future!"

Zhao Chengjun was very confident, he offered a premium price, and he believed that Zhou You would not refuse.

but……

"Sorry, I don't have the idea of ​​relying on cooking skills to eat, and my homestay is about to open!"

Zhou You refused, Zhao Chengjun was taken aback, didn't he have the idea of ​​relying on cooking skills for a living?

Then what are you doing with the fire seat?
Also, you, a cook with such a high skill, hide in the countryside and open a B&B?

Do you know this is a waste!

　I really don’t have a single recommendation ticket, it’s too miserable, woo woo woo, just ask for a recommendation ticket, or a tip is fine, a dime is not too little, and a dollar is not too much!
