The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

Tong Jiaming had chickenpox on his face. Fortunately, his willpower was strong, and he could not scratch it no matter how itchy.

It takes about two weeks for chickenpox to be good, and he has been taking leave at home during this period.

Tong Jiaxin stayed at home for a few days and did not become ill, and soon went back to school for classes.

Without waiting for Tong Jiaming's chickenpox to get better, the cooking competition was suddenly advanced.

I heard that there is a rice-Chinese Chinese who will return to China to visit relatives in two months. This rice-Chinese has a very unusual identity. He is a translator for the Chinese Translation Office of the United Nations.

China resumed its seat in the United Nations in 1971, and the Chinese documents formed by the United Nations must be reviewed and approved by this translator. In other words, his status is very special and high-level.

The higher-level department has issued an order and must do a good job in reception.

Because of the tight schedule, the cooking competition has been advanced.

Tong Xuelu was also shocked when she received the notice. Fortunately, she has been preparing for this period of time, and it is not considered to be an unprepared battle.

On the day of the game, Tong Xuelu took Guo Weiping to the Red Star Hotel.

That's right, the venue for this competition is the Red Star Hotel.

Because the Red Star Hotel is of high grade and large enough for the occasion, it can accommodate a lot of people.

This is another advantage for the Red Star Hotel. Playing in a familiar environment, I have a natural sense of superiority in my heart.

For Tong Xuelu, the Red Star Hotel is the biggest opponent in today's game.

When I came to the Red Star Hotel, some participating hotels had already come, and Tong Xuelu was not too early or too late.

However, her arrival still attracted everyone's attention. First, she was the only second-level restaurant to compete, and secondly, she was the only female chef and manager.

In addition, she is so young and beautiful, it is impossible not to attract everyone's attention.

"Mr Tong, you are here, everyone was mentioning you just now!"

Tong Xueliu curled her lips and smiled politely: "Really? I don't know what everyone said about me?"

A man said: "Everyone is guessing what dishes Manager Tong will produce this time? Shouldn't he just use spicy hot and beef balls? Hahaha..."

As soon as this word came out, people around laughed.

Tong Xuelu's expression was faint upon hearing this.

This is to use mental tactics to make her angry and break her down, so that she can't hold her mind during the game.

It is a pity that she is young, but her mentality is more stable than many people present.

The man who talked to see that she was not blushing or angry, couldn't help feeling silly.

Some people see her calmly and admire her for a while, no wonder she can be the manager of the hotel at a young age.

As time went by little by little, the leaders who were judges today came over.

There are three judges in the Ministry of Commerce, and one of them is Minister Lin.

The Municipal Foreign Affairs Office also has three judges, in addition to an old gentleman.

The old gentleman looked 70 or 80 years old, his face was pale and his hair and eyebrows were white, but his face looked very good, sitting there with open eyes and smiling, very kind.

During the introduction, he was only introduced as Mr. Gao, and the specific identity and origin were not mentioned by the introducer.

Everyone's eyes fell on the old Mr. Gao, and they speculated about his origin.

The people present didn't know, and Tong Xuelu didn't even know. She just glanced at it and focused on the game.

The competition is divided into three groups to be held at the same time, and the order of the competition is determined by drawing lots.

Tong Xuelu drew the number ten and was placed in the third group, which is the last group to participate in the competition.

The gong was struck, announcing the start of the game.

The first group of four restaurants began to enter the intense competition.

Tong Xuelu watched other people's matches easily.

Among the masters of the competition, some were nervous and made mistakes from time to time, and some had good psychological qualities and performed very calmly.

Tong Xuelu watched with gusto, but Guo Weiping beside him was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

"Manager Tong, I'm afraid."

Tong Xuelu turned her head and saw Guo Weiping's face paled: "Why are you afraid?"

Guo Weiping was so nervous that his teeth trembled: "When I think of waiting for me to go up, so many people are staring at me, I feel so nervous."

Tong Xuelu: "Comrade Guo Weiping, you think too much. You are just a helper. They don't want to look at you. They look at me if they want to."

Guo Weiping: "..."

Tong Xuelu: "Is it better now? Are you still nervous?"

Guo Weiping nodded: "It's better, but still nervous."

Tong Xuelu: "Come on, take a deep breath with me, inhale... exhale... inhale, relax, inhale through your belly, not your chest."

Guo Weiping followed her to breathe, his belly bulging.

? ? ?

The people around noticed them, all at a loss.

What is this doing?

What if people who don’t know think they are giving birth.

After taking a few breaths, Guo Weiping relaxed a little, but at least he was not so nervous that his hands and feet trembled.

Tong Xuelu: "After a while, if you are still nervous, just stand by and don't move anything."

He is so nervous and easy to make mistakes, she would rather spend more time on her own.

Guo Weiping looked sorry: "I'm sorry, Manager Tong, I'm really useless!"

Tong Xuelu: "Knowing that you are useless is not too bad, then try to make yourself useful."

Guo Weiping nodded as if pounding garlic.

The content of the competition is to cook two dishes, either meat dishes, vegetarian dishes or snacks, you can choose freely.

However, at this time, most people choose to cook meat dishes. After all, vegetarian dishes have a relatively small space to play, and dim sum, as a dessert after a meal, is not valued in this era.

After an hour and a half, it was time for the first group of games.

All the masters stopped cooking, and one of them broke two dishes because of nervousness, and then made the wrong ingredients at the end, resulting in the second dish not being done.

With a downcast look on his face, the master knew in his heart that he was out of play.

Then the dishes of several master chefs were served one by one, and the seven judges began to taste them, and then scored points.

Each judge has ten points in his hand, and finally the No. 3 master in the first group gets the highest score, a total of fifty points.

When Master No. 3 came down, his face was flushed with excitement.

Then came the second group. The master chef of the Red Star Hotel was in the second group.

Tong Xuelu's attention was immediately placed on the master of the Red Star Hotel.

As she had guessed, the master chef of the Red Star Hotel participated this time with fried crab butter and fermented bean curd meat, the restaurant’s specialty.

The master chef of the Red Star Hotel is worthy of being a descendant of the family of chefs, and he is very general. Once he went on stage, he forgot everything around him and focused on the food.

Instead, the master's helper looked a little triumphant. The helper looked like he was in his twenties, with beautiful features, and was somewhat similar to the master, and might be the master's son or relative.

It's a treat to watch the chef cook.

Tong Xuelu watched this scene with appreciation and learning eyes.

After half an hour, the first dish of fermented bean curd meat was prepared.

Fermented bean curd meat is a dish made of pork belly and fermented bean curd. It is not difficult to prepare, but it is not easy to make it with delicious flavor and flavor.

Pork belly and fermented bean curd, if you are not sure, it is easy to make the finished product look dirty and greasy.

The finished fermented bean curd meat made by the master of the Red Star Hotel is red and bright, as if it is plated with a layer of red light. From a distance, it can be seen that it is soft and fat but not greasy.

Once the dish was made, it was quickly served to taste.

After another half an hour, the second famous dish, stir-fried crab butter, was also ready.

The crab yellow was fragrant and waxy, and the color was bright. After it was finished, a charming fragrance came out, making everyone present couldn't help but swallow.

With such a strong opponent, the other participants in the second group are under great pressure.

Not surprisingly, when the score came out, the Red Star Hotel got the highest score of 67 points.

The total score was 70 points, and the Red Star Hotel scored 67 points. There was an uproar among the people present.

"No need to compare, the first place must be the Red Star Hotel!"

"I think so too. The Red Star Hotel deserves to be a time-honored brand. I heard that they were founded in the 19th year of Guangxu, and they have a long history!"

"I also heard that they still have a lot of recipes, which are the hard work of the Yang family's ancestors."

All kinds of flattering voices kept coming from my ears, and some people looked at her from time to time, apparently thinking that she couldn't win today.

Tong Xuelu didn't seem to hear the sounds around her, her face still pale.

Guo Weiping was so nervous that he was about to faint.

He looked up and saw Manager Tong's calm look, as if he was stuffed with a reassurance. He took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed himself down.

Soon it was the third group's turn.

Tong Xuelu took Guo Weiping to his competition platform.

First, she asked Guo Weiping and herself to check whether there were any problems with the materials, side dishes, spatula and other tools used in the competition. If there are any problems, they should raise them now.

Otherwise, the start of the game will affect your scoring.

Fortunately, no one dared to do anything on this occasion. After she was sure that there was no problem, she started cooking.

The dishes she participated in today were Babao Glutinous Rice Duck and Steak.

The Babao Glutinous Rice Duck is to take care of the Chinese stomach of the judges present, and the steak is to stand out.

This is the dish she decided after considering it.

To entertain foreign guests, making steak is one of the necessary skills.

In the later generations, many foreigners were attracted to Chinese cuisine, but in this age, the world still doesn't understand Chinese cuisine, let alone Chinese cuisine.

When foreign guests come to Huaxia, they are not used to the food of Huaxia, and eventually they will choose the food of their own country.

So whether the restaurant serving foreign guests can cook steak is very important.

She is a practical way, but the soldiers are not tired of deceit, and she doesn't feel that she has done something wrong.

Everyone can understand making eight-treasure glutinous rice duck, and many people at the scene looked at each other when making steak.

What is steak?

Beef? Can it be eaten?

Only Mr. Gao, who had been silent on the judges' seat, flashed his eyes.

Tong Xuelu didn't care about other people's eyes and voices, and focused on food.

The main ingredients of Babao Glutinous Rice Duck are duck, glutinous rice, lean meat, mushrooms, winter mushrooms and raw duck kidney.

The ducks are slaughtered in advance, and the glutinous rice is soaked thoroughly in advance, so you can start working as soon as you arrive.

An hour later, a crispy roasted eight-treasure glutinous rice duck was ready.

The skin of the eight-treasure glutinous rice duck is crispy. After the skin breaks open, the rich oily juice bursts out from the inside, and the charming fragrance quickly diffuses.

The eight-treasure glutinous rice duck was carefully moved to the plate, and the knife was gently slid, the duck was cut open, the ingredients inside were exposed, and the flavor was more fragrant.

The people present smelled the scent, swallowed subconsciously, and their stomachs seemed to gurgle.

"It's really fragrant! This taste is no less than the fermented bean curd meat made by the Red Star Hotel just now!"

"I think it is better than fermented bean curd meat. After all, fermented bean curd meat is too monotonous. There are only pork belly and fermented bean curd!"

"I think so too, look at how nice the roasted duck is, I really want to have a bite!"

When the masters and apprentices of the Red Star Hotel heard everyone's words, their faces suddenly sank.

Several judges took a piece of duck with chopsticks and put it in their mouths. The duck skin was crispy and the duck meat was tender and smooth. It was wrapped in glutinous rice and eaten with other ingredients. The taste was richer.

Make people want to eat again!

Then Tong Xuelu made a few more steaks, namely half-rare steak, half-rare steak and full-cooked steak.

When the steak was finished, the people present were in an uproar again.

"What is Manager Tong doing? Did you see that the beef still has blood on it, can it be eaten?"

"Unconventional, too eager."

"In other words, it seems that the time-honored brand is more stable!"

When the other judges saw the bloodshot steak, they were afraid to start.

At this moment, Mr. Gao spoke: "How does Manager Tong know that this steak can be made unripe?"

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: "Forgot to read it in which book, saying that foreigners drink blood and rufous, I think since they like to eat half-cooked, then I will try it."

In fact, this is completely nonsense, but she can't explain why she knows how to be familiar if she doesn't talk like this.

You must know that reading foreign books is not allowed in this era, so she can only talk nonsense.

Mr. Gao obviously didn't believe her.

However, some people knew that her target was a scientific researcher, so they guessed that she might have learned about it through the mouth of an expert who returned from the United States at the base.

It's just because the other party's identity is special, so I didn't say it directly.

Mr. Gao explained to everyone: "When I was young, I would study abroad, and I had eaten Western steaks. Their steaks tasted like this. It's really admirable for Manager Tong to cook such delicacies at a young age! "

When the other judges in the room heard this, they knew that they were sitting in a well and watching the sky.

In order to show that they are not the frog at the bottom of the well, they boldly tried the steak and followed Mr. Gao to give the highest score.

With a total score of 70 points, Tong Xuelu scored 68 points, one point more than the Red Star Hotel!

As soon as the results came out, everyone present was in an uproar, and the master of the Red Star Hotel flew away with anger.

"Congratulations, Manager Tong, Manager Tong is indeed the best among young people!"

"Blue is better than blue. We can't admit defeat!"

Tong Xuelu humbly expressed his gratitude to everyone, and was happy.

If you get the first place, that means you can get an upgrade and raise your salary, and the hotel can also install phones.

that is really good!

**

The news that Tong Xuelu won the first place in the competition soon spread.

The business of state-owned hotels has improved. It can be described as “hot”.

When Sun Wuyang and Sun Manrou heard the news, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

Sun Manrou: "Third brother, Comrade Tong is too good, I think I should quit."

Sun Wuyang said: "Why do you always like to say such frustrating words? Don't worry, I have a way."

Sun Manrou's eyes lit up: "What way?"

Sun Wuyang said: "The Red Star Hotel that participated together this time should have won the first place, because Tong Xuelu won the first place by tricks. The master of the Red Star Hotel was very unconvinced."

"Master’s son Yang Guojie is a friend of my friend. I have asked my friend to tell him to pursue Tong Xuelu. If he can pursue Tong Xuelu, the recipes in Tong Xuelu’s hands will belong to their Yang family. , No one will compete with them for the first place in the future."

Sun Manrou raised her eyebrows: "Will the surname Yang be willing to do this?"

Sun Wuyang smiled and said: "That's for sure. In the past few days, he will run to the hotel every day, as long as they have contact. Then we will say in front of the Wen family that she is prodigal and pedaling two boats. I don't believe it. I don't mind if Guihui!"

Sun Manrou almost couldn't help but laughed out: "You still have a solution for the third brother."

"of course."

Tong Xuelu noticed that the apprentice of the master chef of the Red Star Hotel had come to the restaurant to eat every day since the competition.

She didn't care at first, but he always talked to her nimbly and said he wanted to take her home.

Tong Xuelu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly said that he was going to the public security bureau to report it, and the other party stopped.

After Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin found out, the two brothers took the initiative to pick her up after get off work.

After Wen Rugui knew that she had won the first place, he finally asked for leave after a week.

The day he came back happened to be Uncle Zong’s birthday, so Tong Xuelu planned to go to Wen’s house to cook a table for Uncle Zong.

Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Yang Guojie and Sun Manrou as soon as she walked to the gate of the military compound.

Sun Manrou looked unfair: "Comrade Tong, how can you play with Comrade Yang's feelings?"

Tong Xuelu raised her brows: "What are you fart? When will I play with his feelings?"

Sun Manrou: "Why not? Comrade Yang ran to your hotel every day. You talked and laughed. Many people have seen it!"

Tong Xuelu: "Did you get water in your head or got caught by the door? If you are sick, remember to take medicine. If you talk nonsense, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau to report the two of you!"

It was just after get off work at noon, and many people heard the quarrel.

Sun Manrou looked at everyone coming around, feeling very proud, and on the surface, she said with dignity: "Comrade Tong, you don't want to deny it anymore. If you don't slap you, why would Comrade Yang go to your hotel every day if you didn't agree with it?"

Tong Xuelu clicked the corner of her mouth, walked to Sun Manrou, and slapped her face with a "pop".

"Listen, does one slap make a loud sound?"

Sun Manrou was slapped.

The onlookers were also dumbfounded, so how can they hit someone?

Sun Manrou felt a fierce pain on her left face: "Comrade Tong, you are too much, I..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw a car stopped at the gate of the military compound.

The car door was opened, and a man in military uniform walked down.

Sun Manrou looked intently and cried out loudly: "Fuck grandpa, you have finally come to Beijing. I was bullied so badly..."

Godfather?

Everyone was surprised again. Could this be Commander Xiao, the commander of the Northwest Army?

He should be here to support Sun Manrou?

Sun Manrou rushed towards Commander Xiao Lihua with rain.

Unexpectedly, Commander Xiao reached out and pushed her when she was about to touch her.

Sun Manrou was pushed back by him two steps and almost fell to the ground.

Sun Manrou:? ? ?
