Chapter 149 Tasting
"It's 11:15, Master Xu, you can make preparations." Wang Sheng said to several people after glancing at the time.
Then Sheng Chengzhou got up and said, "Since it's time, Master Xu will not delay your cooking time. I hope the meal at noon today will go well, the negotiation in the afternoon will go well, and the final result will also go well."
"Okay, I should go over and prepare, and then start cooking."
It would probably take a certain amount of time for the two dishes, and if it is too long, all the other dishes will be served, except for Xu Yang's two dishes.
When they came to the back kitchen, there was a special place reserved for Xu Yang.
Let him cook with peace of mind.
Wang Sheng pointed to the two of them and said, "Master Xu, these two chefs of our restaurant have certain achievements in the field of Sichuan cuisine. They will assist you in cooking at noon today."
Xu Yang observed briefly.
Both of them are around 40 years old, and they should be good in cooking.
It seems that because I don't pay special attention to this, it has attracted the attention of the hotel.
The meaning of asking the two of them to assist in cooking is obvious, and they want to learn and research the process of cooking.
If the taste is really good in the end, you can also learn and simulate, and try to make dishes with similar taste.
Although I know it is difficult to do this, otherwise there will be countless skilled chefs, but I still want to try.
"I will trouble the two masters today."
"No trouble, no trouble, it is our honor to assist Master Xu in cooking."
The two were instructed in advance.
Let them fully assist Xu Yang to cook the two dishes today.
They must strictly abide by what Xu Yang said during the whole process, and they must not cause any trouble, otherwise they should pack up and leave as soon as possible.
Although I don't know what Xu Yang's identity is, but the manager of the restaurant and the general manager of the company have all told him to obey.
Seeing Xu Yang being so polite, I was a little uncomfortable.
Of course I was very curious.
It seems that he is in his 20s, and he is more of a handyman in the kitchen. It is basically impossible to cook with a spoon.
Both of them are very good at cooking Sichuan cuisine, but today they have to work for such a chef who looks like an apprentice. This is the first time they have met.
It's just curiosity, no other actions.
It can be seen that the store manager is very serious in ordering, and he only needs to follow and assist.
Then Wang Sheng smiled and said: "Master Xu, I will trouble you next time. If you need anything, you can just tell the two masters directly. If they can't make the decision, they can let someone contact me directly. Mr. Sheng and I are waiting for you." good news."
"Okay, if there is a problem, I will naturally say it."
After Wang Sheng left, Xu Yang looked at the two of them and said, "Master He, Master Zhang, I think you all know the dishes I'm going to cook, let's start cooking next."
"Ok."
"First, let's make the boiled beef dish."
It takes a long time to boil beef, so it must be cooked first.
If you make mapo tofu first, it will be ready in a few minutes.
Put it aside to cool down quickly after it is out of the pot, which will inevitably affect the taste of the dish. First, the boiled beef can be served directly on the table. After all, the dish of mapo tofu can be prepared and served quickly.
After checking the dishes he asked to prepare, Xu Yang nodded slightly.
If these things meet his requirements, there will be no problems with this dish.
With the assistance of the two, this boiled beef dish was prepared quickly.
It is said to be assistance, but in fact it is to help with handing things, washing vegetables and other chores.
It is impossible for Xu Yang to let them directly assist in cooking, otherwise it will affect the taste of the whole dish.
After all, if you want to make a good taste, the most important steps in the whole process must be completed by yourself. As long as other people participate in it, it will definitely affect it.
This has been proven by experiments before, so Xu Yang needs special attention.
Because this small problem leads to bigger problems, the loss outweighs the gain.
This is a ten-star dish, you can make it once a day, but you can use props to increase the number of times, but there is definitely no way to do so.
Those who don't know think that the cooking is not stable, sometimes it is very good, and sometimes it is not so good, but it will have a bad effect.
After putting the boiled beef aside, Xu Yang started to make the next dish, mapo tofu.
Mapo tofu is easy to make, and it can be done in a few minutes.
"Okay, the two dishes are ready and ready to serve."
Then Xu Yang started to walk towards the restaurant.
At the door, seeing him coming, a waiter immediately stepped forward to take the trolley in his hand.
Then one person said: "Master Xu, Mr. Wang has ordered you to go in directly when you arrive."
"it is good."
After Xu Yang went in, he took a look at it immediately. There were eight chairs in total, seven of which were occupied by people, and one empty chair was reserved for him.
Except for Sheng Chengzhou, Ren Xiangdong, Wang Sheng, the assistant shop of the restaurant and the person I met just now, the other two were all unfamiliar faces.
Xu Yang guessed that it should be someone from their head office. It is impossible for only two people to come over such an important matter.
Seeing him coming in, Wang Sheng stood up to greet him with a smile: "Master Xu, please sit down."
After sitting down, Wang Sheng introduced the identities of the two people. As expected, they were people from the head office.
One of them is the assistant to the general manager, apparently representing the general manager of their group company, and the other is the person in charge of the marketing department, who probably will analyze the market from the perspective of the market.
Xu Yang didn't particularly care about the identity of the visitor.
These identities have little impact on the subsequent negotiations.
At this time Xu Yang said: "Mr. Wang, the boiled beef and mapo tofu have been cooked, and they are outside now, so they can be brought in."
Hearing that it was done, Wang Sheng nodded.
"Okay, I'll give the order now, and there are other dishes that can be served."
After a while, the table was full.
The two dishes cooked by Xu Yang are placed in the middle, and the one next to it is made by the chef of the restaurant, which is very rich.
Everyone's eyes are now focused on the two dishes of boiled beef and mapo tofu.
From the moment they came to the table, everyone's eyes were on it.
His eyes and face were full of surprise.
Especially when the other dishes of the restaurant were on the table, they were even more surprised, because there was a big gap between the two.
Although the chef who cooks today is a top-notch existence in the entire restaurant, the dishes made are perfect in terms of color and presentation.
It will make people very appetizing.
Putting it alone may become the focus of the whole table, but at this moment the focus is on boiled beef.
It can be seen from their expressions that they don't believe that this is a dish made.
After a while, Sheng Chengzhou came back to his senses and said, "Master Xu, this is boiled beef and mapo tofu."
He couldn't believe his eyes.
As the two most famous dishes in Sichuan cuisine, it is natural to know what the finished product looks like.
However, the finished product made by Xu Yang is much better than expected, even better than the pictures on the menu.
You must know that the pictures of the dishes on the menu have been specially processed, of course they are very exquisite pictures, but it is difficult to do so, unless they are specially used for viewing.
At this moment, the boiled beef in front of us is like this.
Xu Yang smiled and said, "Yes, the boiled beef and mapo tofu were made with the help of two masters."
That's the way it is said, but everyone understands that it has nothing to do with the chef of the restaurant. The two are just helping each other, and Xu Yang is still in charge of the whole process.
"It's unbelievable. These two dishes are exquisite in color, color and presentation. They are the best-looking boiled beef and mapo tofu I have ever seen."
After finishing speaking, Sheng Chengzhou glanced at Wang Sheng and said, "Mr. Wang, I finally know what you meant at that time, especially this mapo tofu dish, which is exactly the same as the picture and description sent back. Now I am already looking forward to it." Taste it."
"Boss Sheng and everyone can taste the taste first to see if it is the taste you like, or if you have any suggestions." Xu Yang suggested that everyone should taste the taste.
There is no way to determine the condition of the dishes just by looking at the dishes. Only after tasting a bite, it is easier to combine the flavors.
"Okay, everyone, try the boiled beef and mapo tofu."
Everyone was picking vegetables, only Wang Sheng didn't move.
Sitting next to Xu Yang, he asked in a low voice: "Master Xu, I have tasted your mapo tofu before. I don't know how the taste of this boiled beef is, whether it is better or not."
Xu Yang smiled: "President Wang, you can taste it anyway, I can tell you the truth, if I give 60 points to mapo tofu, then I can give 100 points to this boiled beef dish, what do you think the taste will be?" .”
Hearing this sentence, Wang Sheng didn't know what to say.
Of course he has tasted Mapo Tofu, but according to this, the taste of boiled beef is twice as good as that of Mapo Tofu, and I can't even imagine what it tastes like.
At this moment, after someone has tasted the boiled beef, the expression of the whole person is very enjoyable, and he closes his eyes to carefully taste and recollect the taste of the dish.
It can be seen from their expressions that the taste must be good.
If it tastes bad, it will never look like this.
If the taste is generally not such an expression, Wang Sheng already knows it in his heart.
After tasting the boiled beef with expectation, I finally understand why these people have such expressions.
The moment he just entered the mouth, Wang Sheng was a little unsure whether he was eating the boiled beef dish. The shock brought to his taste buds made people feel a little at a loss.
And there is a feeling that people can't believe that what they eat is boiled beef.
I don't know how to describe this taste.
If Mapo Tofu can barely find words to describe, then this dish has no words to describe.
The taste is definitely the taste of boiled beef, but this taste seems to be magnified a thousand times, ten thousand times, which makes people feel delicious.
Wang Sheng just felt a little unbelievable.
At first, I thought Xu Yang was bragging.
In his opinion, mapo tofu can be given at least 100 points out of 95 points.
As a result, Xu Yang said that mapo tofu was only 60 points, but when this boiled beef dish could get 100 points, he didn't believe it.
According to his calculation method, mapo tofu can score 95 points. Could it be that this dish can score more than 150 points.
It is not easy to make the taste of mapo tofu. You can become a real Sichuan chef, but who knows that you can actually make a dish that is several times better than this dish.
"Master Xu, I don't know how to describe my mood now."
"Why?" Xu Yang asked with a smile.
Wang Sheng replied: "This boiled beef is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten, and it is also the best dish I have eaten so far. Among the chefs I know, they can make such a taste." This is the only one, but he stopped cooking any delicacies a few years ago, and he never had a chance to taste it. I didn’t expect to be able to taste it again now, I really can’t believe it.”
As he spoke, Wang Sheng recalled what he had said.
Then he said again: "Actually, I think the master of the boiled beef you made is more delicious. Besides, the master was already in his 40s when he became famous, and he is now in his 70s. Master Xu, you are only in your 20s, let alone believe it."
Wang Sheng sighed one after another.
He now feels that he and Xu Yang must find a way to cooperate so that they can make dishes with this taste now. If they make further progress later, will the taste be even better?
Xu Yang couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Wang is joking, I know that boiled beef is my specialty and the best dish. It's normal to be able to make such a taste. Looking at Mapo tofu anyway, it's so delicious now." It is impossible to achieve the same taste as boiled beef."
Wang Sheng shook his head: "No, no, Master Xu, you said just now that you can't make it now, but it doesn't mean that you can't make it in the future. I believe that the mapo tofu made later will taste as good."
"hope so."
While the two were talking, Sheng Chengzhou also looked over.
"Master Xu, I now apologize for my previous attitude. How can a chef who can make such a taste be an ordinary chef, but it is better than some Sichuan chefs. I really don't know how to do it. I admire it. "
He said and gave a thumbs up.
Also surprised was Ren Xiangdong.
He originally thought that Xu Yang's cooking skills should be relatively high, otherwise it would be impossible for him to receive such attention.
It is estimated that the level should be better than the ordinary masters in the store, and may be slightly worse than the best masters.
Not too good, not too bad.
The former is because of Xu Yang's age.
At the age of 24, even if he started to learn to cook in his teens, he still can't make a particularly good taste.
The latter is because if the cooking skills are not particularly good, they will definitely not receive entertainment from the company, and no one from the head office will come to discuss cooperation.
But here lies the most puzzling part.
With Xu Yang's age and good cooking skills, it is worth recruiting or cooperating with, but it is not enough to do business with hundreds of millions.
You must know that the amount of the new company was told by the vice president of the group company. There is definitely no problem with the amount.
The head office paid more than 2000 million yuan to occupy 20% of the shares, which must have exceeded [-] million yuan in total.
However, after tasting the two dishes of boiled beef and mapo tofu, I realized that my previous thoughts were completely wrong.
I finally know why the head office is willing to spend so much money to set up a new company with him, it can be said that it is completely worth it.
Ren Xiangdong understands that anyway, the chefs in the restaurant are not as good as one-fifth of Xu Yang's cooking.
