From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 30 The Liu family holds a birthday banquet (please follow up)

After the batter was mixed, Feng Zhengming put the chopped fish into the batter one by one.

Cover all parts of the fish with batter, even the fish's belly is covered with batter.

Over there, Li Huidong had also prepared the frying pan. Feng Zhengming lifted the head and tail of the battered fish and slowly put it into the frying pan.

But Feng Zhengming did not throw the carp directly into the oil pan, but first washed the carp with hot oil on the surface of the oil pan.

Let the batter on the surface of the fish set and make the whole fish look like a curved crescent.

The children in the village were shocked to see this shaping process.

"Yeah, little uncle, be careful and let go quickly."

"Uncle, you're going to burn your hands."

"Oops, be careful, you're going to burn your hands."

A group of children watched from a distance as Feng Zhengming carried the fish and strolled around in the oil pan. They all couldn't help but scream.

The screams of these children naturally attracted many people in the village.

When the villagers saw Feng Zhengming and the others frying fish, everyone in the village was very curious.

Someone from the village asked: "Are you the chefs invited by Uncle Jiasheng?"

Zhang Lei answered helpfully: "Yes, we were invited by Mr. Liu."

Yang Peng introduced: "We are frying fish. The must-have sweet and sour carp for the lunch banquet today."

After hearing Yang Peng's words, the villagers immediately laughed and looked forward to it.

"Sweet and sour carp? That's a big dish, it's delicious."

“Many chefs now make sweet and sour carp that is not delicious.”

"Yes, last time I went to a banquet in town, no one ate the sweet and sour carp. The batter on top was so thick and fishy. It was really unpalatable."

"I think the chef invited by Grandpa Jiasheng today seems to be doing a good job."

"After all, I'm from the city, so of course I have good craftsmanship."

The villagers explained to the yelling children again.

"You guys, don't yell. My chef uncle is very capable. If you look carefully, his hands are still some distance away from the oil surface and they won't be burned. This is real skill."

A villager explained it, and the children and other villagers were curious and took a closer look.

Before Feng Zhengming let go of the first fish and picked up the second fish, he also said seriously to the children: "You can't learn it at home. Uncle has been practicing this for a long time. You haven't learned it before, so you can't imitate it casually. You know ?"

When the villagers heard Feng Zhengming's words, they thought of the children in the village who had gathered around to watch this morning.

Although it somewhat affected other people's chefs' cooking, they have never been driven away.

This made the villagers have a good impression of Feng Zhengming and others.

"Hahaha, don't worry, little chef, we will definitely warn the children not to learn from the chef uncle."

Feng Zhengming continued to slowly put the second fish into the oil pan, still holding the fish tail and head first, and letting the fish shape in the oil pan.

This time, many people in the village gathered around to watch, and they were all a little surprised when they saw Feng Zhengming's move with their own eyes.

"Little chef, you look young, but your skills are great, right?"

"Yes, it's really courageous to dare to lift the fish like this and boil the oil in the pan to shape it."

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "It's actually not difficult. Just hold your hands steady and keep a sufficient distance from the oil surface."

Li Huidong also said next to him: "The oil temperature should not be too high."

Feng Zhengming and the others worked hard to prepare the dishes, which attracted many villagers to watch, who were all amazed at Feng Zhengming and the others' craftsmanship.

The Liu family invited Feng Zhengming and senior brother to come.

Mr. Liu, Liu Jiasheng are leading their brothers, sisters and juniors to kowtow to their father and mother to celebrate their birthdays. "Dad, today is your sixtieth birthday. My son Liu Jiasheng and his whole family, men, women, old and young, kowtow to you and your mother. I wish you and your mother good luck as long as the flowing water in the East China Sea, and as long as the everlasting pines in the Southern Mountains."

After saying these words, Liu Jiasheng led the whole family, men, women and children to kowtow to his parents.

The mother smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's all get up. Today's idea must have come up with you, Jiasheng, right? Your parents know that you have made money, so you can just keep it for yourself. There is no need to make such a big deal for us." Pomp and circumstance.”

Liu Jiasheng said: "Mom, Dad is sixty this year. This is his birthday, so I must celebrate it properly. Moreover, I specially invited the chef from Yanxi House for Dad. I guarantee that Dad will be satisfied with the birthday banquet at noon today."

The old man of the Liu family was not very happy with his eldest son for causing such a scene.

But when the eldest son said that he had invited the chef from Yanxilou to cook, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Jia Sheng, did you really invite the chef from Yanxi Tower?"

When Liu Jiasheng saw his father's eyes light up, he knew that he must have done the right thing this time, and that he had touched his father's heart by asking for help.

"Dad, Yanxi Building has closed down. All their buildings have been sold, and Lao Bian seems to have been bought by someone. But the chef I hired this time is the great apprentice from Yanxi Building. , I have tasted the craftsmanship and it is absolutely great.”

When the old man of the Liu family heard about the collapse of Yanxi Tower, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Oh, it's such a pity that Yanxi Restaurant has been a restaurant for more than a hundred years, but it was closed down by those bastards."

The second eldest son of the Liu family, a daughter, immediately said: "Dad, I heard that the collapse of Yanxi House had nothing to do with the chefs. It was those guys who got the management rights through connections who tampered with the purchase and ruined Yanxi." Building reputation.”

Hearing what his daughter said made the Liu family man even more heartbroken.

At this time, Liu Jiasheng's daughter saw that her grandfather was unhappy and said quickly: "Grandpa, don't be upset. Didn't my dad invite you to the chef from Yanxi Tower? Why don't we go and watch them cook?"

The Liu family has three sons and two daughters.

Nowadays, sons and daughters also have children, and in the third generation there are grandchildren, granddaughters, grandsons, and granddaughters.

But the old man liked Liu Jiasheng's little daughter the most.

Almost everyone in the Liu family knows that the daughter of the Liu family's Sheng family is the old man's favorite.

Many times, when the old man is angry, other people's words are of no use, but as long as the granddaughter speaks, the old man can be calmed down immediately.

Liu Jiasheng's youngest daughter also made the old man very proud. She was successfully admitted to a university in the capital last year.

Now when his granddaughter said this, the old man immediately put on a smile.

"Okay, listen to my granddaughter. Grandpa will go with you to see other people cooking and see the skills of Yanxilou chefs."

Then the old man and the old lady of the Liu family, accompanied by their grandchildren, watched the cooking.

Liu Jiasheng's brothers and sisters went to set up tables and chairs and receive people from the village who came to pay birthdays.

The old man and the old lady, accompanied by their grandchildren, soon arrived at the place where the birthday banquet was held in the village.

Seeing the large tables arranged in the venue, the old man couldn't help but said to his beloved granddaughter: "Look at your dad, how much money did you burn for him? What does it look like to have such a grand arrogance?"

The granddaughter quickly said: "Grandpa, this is my father's filial piety towards you. Moreover, my father said that no one in the village will be charged for coming to eat. My father just wants everyone to have a good time together."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard children cheering from the crowd next to the venue.

The granddaughter of the Liu family looked over and said, "Grandpa, look, the children and adults in the village are very happy. How nice would it be for everyone to have fun together?"

After being told this, the old man of the Liu family finally smiled, and then led his granddaughter and grandchildren over to take a look.

Seeing Mr. Liu coming, the villagers who were watching in front of the stove naturally got out of the way.

And they all paid their respects to Mr. Liu for his birthday.

Mr. Liu bowed his hands to express his gratitude to everyone, and then led his granddaughter through the crowd to the stove.

Just as she walked to the stove, Liu Jiasheng's daughter saw Feng Zhengming busy and exclaimed: "Ah, why is it you?"

Feng Zhengming raised his head when he heard the exclamation, but he didn't expect to see Liu Fangyou in the village.
