The boss cooks, and the bankrupt company opens a state banquet restaurant

Chapter 171 Dinner preparations, new three-course snacks

There are several types of welcome wine in French cuisine.

One is that it’s not time to eat yet, so I will choose sparkling wine to chat with, and pair it with some desserts.

This time is somewhat similar to the Chinese 'melon seed eating time'.

Another kind is the aperitif before the meal. Most restaurants or banquets will choose white wine or cherry red wine. After drinking it, it will give people a feeling of appetite.

"But this is my China."

Being able to combine French food with Cantonese food is already a great honor, but Su Chen still feels uncomfortable with this habit of drinking before meals.

Originally, Su Chen planned to use rice wine and use an instrument to inject bubbles into it to achieve the effect of sparkling wine.

However, rice wine is not sweet enough and seems inappropriate as a pre-dinner drink, while Chinese sweet wine is mostly fruit wine.

There's less than a week left before dinner time, so it's too late to start brewing now.

Moreover, since Shang Mingke is bringing customers to dinner, he is probably here in time for the meal and cannot come too early.

"Then use the traditional French menu! In this case, not only can you cancel the pre-dinner wine, but you can also cancel the toast wine."

Let the customers decide for themselves when it comes to wine.

In "A General History of World Cuisine", it tells the historical development of French cuisine, from the classical style to the home-style cuisine, until now it has developed into the new style of cuisine.

The characteristics of new-style cuisine coincide with Cantonese cuisine. They use precious ingredients in cooking, focus on original flavor, fresh ingredients, and light taste.

Su Chen crossed out all the thirteen programs he had thought of before, and then wrote the first dish of the new dish heavily on the paper.

Frozen appetizers!

There is no rush to finalize the specific menu yet.

Su Chen turned on his phone and found Shang Mingke.

"Brother Shang, I plan to use French dining habits and Chinese food for this reception. The specific content will be Cantonese cuisine."

As this customer, Shang Mingke still needs to discuss it.

After sending the message, Su Chen put down the phone. Unexpectedly, as soon as he put it down, the other party responded to the message.

[Shang Mingke: I think it’s okay. So do you have any specific dishes? 】

"We haven't decided yet, but we're ordering appetizers. How about crystal cold chicken?"

Shang Mingke's reply was much slower this time. It took about ten minutes before he received the other party's message.

[Shang Mingke: Yes. You don't have to worry about the budget. The rest of the dishes are up to you. 】

Ho!

Su Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw this news.

That's how it goes sometimes when talking to smart people.

The Crystal Cold Chicken as the first course is actually very particular. Among the famous Chinese recipes, this dish is the signature dish of Datong Restaurant in Guangdong Province.

The characteristics of this dish are that it is cool, refreshing, and very appetizing. It is very suitable for eating in summer and autumn. In addition, it has a beautiful appearance. Even if it is placed in French cuisine, which pays great attention to appearance, it will definitely not lose in the slightest.

Shang Mingke replied so late to the second message, which meant that he must have asked someone very knowledgeable about the name of the dish.

After that, Shang Mingke said that he didn't need to worry about the budget. The implication was that he could do whatever he wanted. As long as he could afford it, money wouldn't be a problem.

Then he said that there was no need to discuss the following dishes, which was enough to show that the first dish Su Chen chose had been approved by Shang Mingke and the expert behind him.

Since the first dish can be chosen so exquisitely, the rest will naturally not be any worse.

"call"

Su Chen let out a long breath, then closed his eyes and entered the food practice room.

"The struggle begins!"

The Crystal Cold Chicken dish highlights the freshness and tenderness of the chicken itself, so the selection of ingredients is also very simple.

The main ingredient is a chicken, the simplest ordinary chicken, but there is one condition: it must be killed freshly.

"Am I going to have to build a breeding farm in the future?"

Recently, more and more dishes need to be cooked and cooked, which makes Su Chen start to feel a little depressed.

Forget about killing fish, now they are killing chickens and ducks.

Among the other auxiliary ingredients, Yunnan ham is difficult to buy in Jingzhou. Su Chen recorded this ingredient in his notebook.

We are going to ask Liu Shengnan to ship the goods back from Yunnan as soon as possible.

Next, it’s endless experimenting and making!

Su Chen practiced in the practice room for a full 48 hours, and would come to the real world to rest for 16 hours every 2 hours.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, Su Chen, who had rested for two hours, was about to enter the practice room.

Bang bang bang.

"Enter."

He sat up from the recliner and saw that the person coming in was Ling Shuyu.

"Are you interrupting your work?"

Ling Shuyu now knew that even if Su Chen was lying down, he was still working. Otherwise, why could he lie down for a while and then get up and cook such delicious dishes?

Su Chen shook his head, "No. What's the matter?"

Ling Shuyu sat aside minding his own business, "You told me to deal with the rumor, but I didn't deal with it immediately. After observing it for a few hours, I found that this rumor doesn't seem to need to be dealt with."

"Oh?" Su Chen tilted his head, "Tell me."

"That's right." Ling Shuyu rarely hesitated when reporting on work, "Boss, please tell me first, did you hire someone to direct and act in the matter of eating dead people today?"

ha?

Su Chen was a little confused when asked.

But he did not respond directly to the question, "Just tell me what's going on now?"

Ling Shuyu looked at the boss with a very confused and puzzled expression, "It was about nine o'clock three hours after the rumor gradually started to ferment."

"Some new faces began to appear in our company one after another. When they came in, they asked: I heard that you have a delicious food that makes people eat to death. What's so delicious about it?"

When saying this, Ling Shuyu also imitated the tone and movements. Su Chen shook his head and laughed. This was so funny.

"Then, we didn't say anything, but some of the customers present must have noticed Mr. Feng eating there."

"Some people said that they eat rice rolls, pork ribs rice cakes, and duck blood and shredded chicken noodle soup."

Su Chen said, "Hey, isn't this pretty good? Is there anything else?"

Ling Shuyu nodded, "Then, these people stood on the third floor and asked for these three kinds of snacks, and then someone else came, and then"

"Just tell me the result." Su Chen interrupted Ling Shuyu.

"Oh!" Ling Shuyu looked at Su Chen with complicated eyes, "Then, the customers on the third floor went crazy. They all wanted to eat these three kinds of snacks. It was so noisy. If Bai Xiaobo and the others hadn't arrived, I drove people away, I guess they are still noisy now."

"Some people even left messages on our Douyin account, saying that they couldn't eat these three snacks in one day, so they left messages every day!"

"So, what I mean is" Ling Shuyu finally expressed his thoughts, "I guess this may be a good show that you directed and acted in order to give our new department, the snack department a good show." Foreshadowing? Blow the horn or something?"

Su Chen touched the tip of his nose.

Um.

This is what Mr. Ling is good for.

Every time she didn't do anything, she would automatically think of something about her boss.

Originally, Su Chen really didn't have any talent in business.

But as a result of Ling Shuyu's imagination, everyone in the company had long thought that Su Chen was a unique business genius!

So, Su Chen didn't explain much, "The snack floor should be opened. There is a lack of specific plans right now. You and Liu Shengnan can discuss it with the budget. If we can control the development without borrowing money, this The project can be established at any time.”

Hear the words.

Ling Shuyu's eyes suddenly widened, and his hands unconsciously grasped his pants, "Okay!"

This was the order that excited her the most.

Every time Su Chen gives an order, she, Ling Shuyu, can become the overall person in charge of the project. The feeling of scolding Fang Qiu and pointing the country, and finally seeing her results so dazzling, not to mention how enjoyable it is!

Immediately, Ling Shuyu stood up to leave, but stopped when he reached the door.

"Boss, with your brains, it's really a disadvantage to cook by yourself."

Leaving behind these incomprehensible words, he left the 19th floor.

Su Chen was left so embarrassed that he almost scratched the floor.

"What the fuck do I have in my head?"

Su Chen smiled silently. Not to mention, he was originally clueless, but after being manipulated like this by Ling Shuyu, he seemed to have a pretty good mind.

If your guess is good.

We had just talked to her about the snack project, and Mr. Ling was still worried about whether the project could be launched.

First, the prospects are a bit confusing.

It can be opened, but snacks are destined to be sold only at one stall, so there are as many people as there are types of snacks.

If someone doesn't cook it deliciously, it will ruin the reputation of delicious food!

it's good now.

Boss Su himself put on a good show, and the delicious snacks immediately attracted a lot of attention.

That’s a snack that’s so delicious that you’ll be stuffed to death!

Even after returning to the office on the second floor, Ling Shuyu couldn't help but sigh when he called Liu Shengnan over.

"Boss Su is truly a unique genius. The scene he directed didn't even cost a penny and produced an advertising effect worth millions!"

"It really makes me, an advertising designer, feel a little ashamed. Boss Su should be a real advertising planner!"

After hearing what Ling Shuyu said, Liu Shengnan also sucked in the air-conditioning.

"I thought early on that I was right to work with Boss Su! Now the company is getting better and better, and our benefits are getting better and better, which is awesome!"

Ling Shuyu didn't care about the benefits, he mainly enjoyed the awesome work.

Now that her boss has given her word, she can roll up her sleeves and get to work!

But he said he was the initiator of this incident.

Feng Yaoyang just came out of the hospital.

"I just said it's okay. It's okay to go to some hospital. It's so embarrassing!"

Awu didn't know what to say, "Boss, it's actually okay. Although someone recorded the video, your head was covered at the time."

Gan!

This reminded Feng Yaoyang of an effect he had seen before.

If a group of reporters suddenly barged in while you were taking a shower, and you only had a towel, where would you cover it?

What the hell, I chose to cover my face.

"I should know my own belly very well. How could it be like that?"

Just now in the hospital, Feng Yaoyang experienced pain relief and induced vomiting.

This is a very simple thing. He ate too much and had some stomach problems before, which led to sudden stomach pain.

Just vomit out the contents of your stomach and wait for a while, then it won't be a big deal. But when he left, the doctor still asked him in a curious tone.

"Is it still difficult for you Xiangjiang to eat enough now?"

Feng Yaoyang shook his head awkwardly, "No."

Then he dragged Awu and left the hospital in a hurry.

The two of them are now back in the hotel, and Feng Yaoyang still feels uncomfortable about today's encounter.

"Awu, can you reproduce those snacks?"

Awu immediately widened his eyes, "Boss! Do you still want to eat now?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Feng Yaoyang rolled his eyes angrily, "I mean, can you perfectly replicate those delicacies? How did you feel about the dishes you tried today?"

A Wu couldn't believe it. How could his 37-degree lips say such cold words?

You have eaten ten portions of rice rolls, three portions of pork ribs and rice cakes, and a bowl of duck blood and vermicelli soup. Now, you ask me, how was the food test?

Did I take a fucking bite?

Feng Yaoyang saw that Ah Wu didn't say anything for a long time, "I was already on the stretcher, but you ran back and drank the bowl of vermicelli soup. Don't think I don't know. Tell me, how do you feel?"

Aren't you covering your head?

Awu suddenly understood a little bit.

Why do so many people fish when they are working in the company and no one sees them, but the boss still knows about it.

Maybe the bosses have this special ability.

Since he didn't taste it properly, Awu certainly couldn't evaluate the texture and taste of the dishes. Fortunately, he observed Su Chen's cooking process from beginning to end.

"It's special." Awu recalled the scenes that took place at Delicious Food, "Boss Su's cooking gave me a very special feeling."

"Special? What does this mean?"

A Wu also sat down, "I've rarely seen a chef handle ingredients as casually as Boss Su."

"He is obviously doing something very casually, but the things he makes are more precise than those made by others."

After saying this, even Awu himself felt that the words did not convey his meaning.

That feeling is hard to describe in words.

Just like when Su Chen made rice rolls.

It is a new steamer that is twice the size of an ordinary steamer, but uses the same amount of rice milk.

Ah Wu knows how abnormal it is to be able to spread this amount of rice milk evenly in the steamer!

Moreover, there are no other ingredients added to the rice milk, it is pure rice milk, which means it is extremely fluid.

It's incredible that this can be done like that.

There is even a question that Awu still can't figure out until now.

There is obviously a lot of moisture during steaming, but why is there no moisture after steaming?

This question is comparable to the top ten unsolved mysteries in the world!

It's a completely subversive existence.

Feng Yaoyang stood up and turned on the fresh air blower, took out two cigars from the safe, handed one to A Wu and sat down.

"I just want to know one thing. Is our cooperation with Boss Su worth it?"

Ah Wu thought for a while and nodded affirmatively, "No one in Xiangjiang can make rice rolls and pork ribs rice cakes like Boss Su."

He is a chef, Feng Yaoyang's personal chef.

He won't get involved in business matters, so he can only express his own opinions. As for whether he can cooperate, it depends on the boss's own wishes.

Feng Yaoyang nodded.

If he said that, he already knew it.

The cooperation project with Jingzhou is just an insignificant part of Feng Yaoyang's business.

In fact, if a Hong Kong businessman as big as Feng Yaoyang is willing to come to the mainland to discuss cooperation, he certainly has other intentions.

Currently in Xiangjiang, even across the country!

Although there are many delicious foods, there is no such food court that can bring together snacks from all over the country.

Including in four first-tier cities, as well as Xiangjiang and Omen.

There are many food courts, but most of them are not worthy of their name. If someone invests in a food court now.

The stalls are divided according to provinces across the country.

For example, for duck blood vermicelli soup, the stall name is: Nanjing Road, or Nanjing store, etc. In short, it is named after the place name.

What is that prospect?

As long as the food is authentic and delicious enough.

Take rice rolls as an example. Some people who love food even go to Guangdong Province to eat them when they travel.

After I came back, I told my friends: That won't work, it's not as good as what we did there.

What is this concept?

In Feng Yaoyang's mind, he immediately drew up a huge business blueprint.

“Chinese Snack Plaza.”

Yes, this name is very domineering!

After A Wu left, Feng Yaoyang immediately sat at the table and began to think about this business plan.

Jingzhou is a very good location.

The disadvantage is that the population is a bit small.

But the flaws are not concealed. Jingzhou's development zone is now heavily promoting investment. Officials can provide many preferential policies for investment projects here, including tax policies that are also extremely attractive.

Secondly, in Jingzhou City, the cost of labor is so cheap that even Feng Yaoyang is stunned.

Waiters in ordinary restaurants only need to be paid a salary of 2,000 yuan with four days off every month.

You don’t even have to pay insurance for them!

Is there anything better than this?

"If this is the case, the east-west street project must be changed into a square project on a piece of land."

Feng Yaoyang immediately began to write a rough investment plan by himself.

His idea was to build a site similar to Wanda Plaza, but instead of a shopping mall, it would be a comprehensive food court.

There are four floors in total.

Each floor can be allocated large stalls from eight to nine provinces. The specific number of small stalls each large stall is divided into will be a follow-up matter.

As for this big square, there is nothing in it, only delicious food and snacks from all over the country!

"Gan, I'm getting excited already!"

As long as his plan is finalized and sent back to the company in Xiangjiang, someone will make a more detailed plan.

After review at that time, it will be sent directly to the Investment Promotion Department of Jingzhou City.

Jingzhou officials have no reason to reject this multi-billion investment project!

When Feng Yaoyang excitedly finalized the draft, he scratched the pen from the words at the end to the front.

"So, the first person to decide whether this project is established is..."

The draft was sent back to the Xiangjiang headquarters. Feng Yaoyang took a stomach medicine and went to bed quickly.

Before going to bed, I silently recited a few words, "70% full, 70% full, tomorrow I will eat 70% full!"

"Heh, the Crystal Cold Chicken dish is quite interesting."

In the practice room, Su Chen took a night's rest and continued studying the next day. At noon, he finally completed his first A-level finished product in the practice room.

“In addition to Yunnan ham, there are also other ingredients that can cause headaches.”

I had used this ingredient once before when I made a special reward for Ling Shuyu, that is, the fresh custard snow egg.

Hakka people also call it Bian He Cai, and some people call it Shui Cai. This kind of dish is more common in Meixian County, Guangdong Province.

In the north, almost no one cultivates it.

So this dish also has to be purchased from the south.

Use vegetables to make a thick soup and then freeze it. The chicken that has been prepared in advance is placed in it. The finished product looks like a piece of chicken placed in crystal.

Coupled with the freezing effect, it not only tastes springy, but also cool and refreshing, without being refreshing and tender.

"I really want to go to reality and have a taste!"

Although this dish was only Grade A, even Su Chen was a little greedy.

After leaving the practice room, it was already approaching noon, "It's time to prepare today's three-flavor snack for Mr. Feng."

After coming to the kitchen, Su Chen suddenly smiled.

"Don't go to the hospital again today."

In order to prevent Feng Yaoyang from overeating and cooking in the practice room, he spent a lot of energy and time.

Su Chen planned to make three ordinary, unremarkable snacks today.

Otherwise, it would be really not a good thing to end up in the hospital two days in a row.

Speaking of ordinary, unremarkable.

It has to be a snack that can be seen everywhere on the street, but it has to be delicious at the same time.

Sichuan Province has something to say!

"You are from Xiangjiang. I will give you a whole spicy rabbit head first. Mr. Feng will definitely not want to eat too much."

Su Chen settled on the first snack.

After all, the tastes of people in Xiangjiang are not much different from those in Guangdong Province, but the spiciness of spicy rabbit meat is still difficult for them to accept.

At that time, you can’t say that what we made is not delicious, I can only say that you can’t eat too much!

In this case, it’s better to follow through on spicy food.

The snacks in Sichuan Province are inexhaustible, so Su Chen simply took out two more dishes from "Chinese Famous Snacks".

The second is tofu nao!

This Emei tofu brain may not be very famous among the famous snacks in Sichuan Province, but only those who have eaten it know how delicious it is.

Sweet tofu brain, salty tofu brain, what does that count?

Anyone who has tasted this tofu brain will say: Spicy tofu brain, yyds!

In order to protect Mr. Feng's stomach and prevent him from scoring twice, Su Chen decided that the third snack must also be something fierce.

Brainy!

Since it is a snack, of course it cannot be cooked in a hot pot, so we have to study it from another angle.

"Well, roasting is okay. The third snack is roasted brains."

"I believe that even if such snacks are delicious, Mr. Feng, a Hong Kong businessman, can only taste them briefly."

Su Chen wrote the name of the third snack in his notebook.

【Peppa Pig Brain】
