Chapter 382 Official Opening
Because it is a restaurant run in accordance with the Chinese style, the opening ceremony also followed the Chinese etiquette.A long firecracker, a plaque covered by a red cloth, a row of beautiful service staff in red cheongsam, and finally Mr. Dobson in Tang suit and others.

The auspicious time for the opening is set at 09:30. Before that, Chef Luo Yutong and Chef Mei Ying are in the back kitchen preparing the ingredients for the next cooking.For example, dried fungus, dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, etc. that need to be soaked are all authentic ingredients from China.

After that, of course, meat is indispensable, such as old duck, beef, lamb, fish and shrimp, and of course, the special ingredients of the insect feast must not be forgotten.Bamboo rats are skinned and frozen, so they need to be taken out and cut open. After all, the skin of bamboo rats has other value, so it is not convenient to directly transport live bamboo rats.However, small ingredients such as grasshoppers and spiders were still brought over alive. These were also raised in the mountains by the Mo family's farm, and then they were caught and delivered together with other ingredients every night in the middle of the night.

"Chef (English), it's almost time for the opening. The boss invites you to go to the front." A waiter in a cheongsam walked into the back kitchen and stood at the door and said loudly to Chef Meiying and others.Because of the confidentiality agreement, no one is allowed to set foot in the back kitchen except for a few specific passers-by.

"(English) Well, I see, I'll pack it up and go." Chef Meiying stopped the knife in her hand and responded, and then, while cleaning Mrs.'s finger that took up the oil, she gave instructions to the people serving the dishes. : "Hurry up and arrange all the dishes, and start cooking when I come back."

Luo Yutong also washed her hands, took off her apron, chef's uniform and chef's top hat, revealing a sky blue casual outfit underneath.After all, she has to cook, if Luo Yutong dresses too cumbersomely, it will only affect her performance.It's just because she also needs to show her face at the opening, so it won't be rude to wear casual clothes.

Following behind Chef Mei Ying, followed by Chef Xiu and Chef Mo Sen, a group of four left the back kitchen and came to the hall, and then were led to the gate of the strange smell by the supervisor wearing a purple cheongsam.

Maybe it's because the formation outside is more attractive, so even though it hasn't opened yet, there are many curious people gathered outside the door.However, through the crowd, Luo Yutong also saw several gourmets from the Gourmet Association.I guess they came to support Mr. Dobson, and I don't know what happened to the other places and my side.Luo Yutong was thinking in her heart as she walked to Mr. Dobson's side.

"(English) Don't think too much, you have to believe in your own craftsmanship." Mr. Dobson raised his hand to look at the time on the watch, and noticed that Luo Yutong's eyes beside him were a little dignified, and smiled and said: "Today is the day , it’s better to smile brightly. Beauty tricks are a good idea~”

"(English) David is right, the beauty trick is indeed a good way, otherwise I would not be able to stand here." Hearing this, the seriousness in Luo Yutong's eyes dissipated, and the smile on his face became more real .After all, he was facing his own guests. No matter what means he used, he still needed to use enough cooking skills to keep them.

And the beauty trick that Mr. Dobson said was nothing more than the method Luo Yutong used to promote new dishes.But Mr. Dobson was not seduced by Luo Yutong's beauty trick, so the two made a joke about it.

"It's almost time (English), I'll light the firecrackers." Mr. Dobson smiled back, took a joss stick from the service staff at the side, and said after looking at Luo Yutong.From Mr. Dobson's point of view, Luo Yutong should feel sorry for not being able to light the firecrackers. After all, she didn't go to her own restaurant but came to Mr. Dobson's place, right?

"(Ying) ah, David come." Luo Yutong nodded slightly, and said without changing the smile on his face.Speaking of it, Luo Yutong did have some regrets, but it was not too much, so it would not affect Luo Yutong's excited and nervous mood at this time.

Firecrackers hang from the plaque and go down the steps at the door. At the end of the firecrackers is a red carpet, which looks very festive.When the time came to 09:30, Mr. Dobson aimed the incense candle at the fuse of the firecrackers, but after just three to five seconds, the deafening sound of firecrackers resounded through the sky.

The sound of "crackling" attracted people coming and going.Before the firecrackers went off, the doorway of Qizhenweiwei was already full of people. People with different hair colors were discussing in low voices, their eyes full of curiosity and interest.

After the sound of firecrackers ended, Mr. Dobson, who hid aside, came back to the stage and said to everyone: "(English) Qizhenweiwei officially opened today. There are many delicacies that you have never thought of here. Welcome everyone Come in for a meal..."

Following Mr. Dobson's introduction, a line of welcoming guests standing at the door also began to take out leaflets and distribute them to the crowd gathered around.After Mr. Dobson and Chef Mei Ying made their appearance, they led the members of the Gourmet Association into the restaurant.

"(English) David, Zeyu is going to trouble you to entertain me. I'm going to the back kitchen now." Seeing that Mr. Dobson was greeting the guests, Luo Yutong walked up to Mr. Dobson and said hello. , and then followed Chef Mei Ying and the others into the back kitchen.

"Yutong, go cook the soup first, after all it takes a long time to cook." Chef Mei Ying said to Luo Yutong after ordering Chef Xiu and Chef Mo Sen.The soup that Chef Mei Ying mentioned is of course not stewed with dried bamboo shoots and old ducks. After all, it is the dish of Luo Yutong’s private restaurant. In the rare flavors, this soup refers to the delicacies made with snakes or bullfrogs. .

Although the problem of snakes and parasites was mentioned at the beginning, but it takes at least three or two hours to boil the soup, so of course this problem will not be so serious anymore.What's more, the snakes they choose are raised by themselves, and they are not free-range. They eat carefully selected meat, and they have been inspected after slaughter, so they can be served to guests with confidence.

Luo Yutong listened to Chef Mei Ying's instructions, and didn't say much. First, she asked people to go to the cold storage to take out the ingredients she needed, and then began to make them seriously.The snake needed for snake soup first needs to peel off the outer snake skin, and then it can be boiled for a long time.In the end, the snake meat will melt into the soup, leaving only a pair of snake bones, and then take it out and add the matching ingredients.

The recipe of this snake soup comes from the gourmet system and belongs to the medicinal food category, so it is natural to supplement it with other medicinal materials.Fortunately, Mr. Dobson had arranged for a food garnisher who is familiar with medicinal materials, so Luo Yutong only needed to order things according to the time.

 Well, I don’t know if you dare to drink snake soup~
