gourmet restaurant

Chapter 394
"Old Chen, can you guarantee that the meeting will start on time?" Someone came over and asked Chen Quanzhou.

Communicating with the chef is something every host will do.If the guests enter the table, but find that the chef can't start the table on time, it will appear that the host's arrangement is not good.

The Ning family is a big family, let alone let such a thing happen.Their face is often more important than money.

"The meeting can be held on time." Chen Quanzhou said.

The man nodded and left. It is best to be on time, otherwise the opening time will have to be postponed.

Mr. Chen looked at the busy people, then at the time, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the stove.

He's about to get ready to cook too.

The dish that Mr. Chen wants to cook is naturally his best mapo tofu.

As the finale, there is no need to be so anxious.But people are old, and their actions are not as good as those of young people. Mr. Chen still started to prepare early.

Mapo tofu is actually not suitable as a finale dish. Although it is a famous dish, it does not have the weight of a finale dish.

If Jiang Yang and Chen Cuiyi were to cook, it would naturally not be enough.But Mr. Chen is a culinary master, any dish he cooks has the weight of the finale.

Tofu is prepared by someone, but it has not been cut out yet.

Mr. Chen gently picked up a piece of tofu and placed it on the chopping board, while holding a kitchen knife in the other hand, his movements were not fast.However, Mr. Chen's hand holding the knife was very steady, he didn't hesitate at all when he cut the knife, and he never hesitated when lifting the knife.

Mr. Chen cut out square pieces of tofu. If you look carefully, each piece of tofu is almost the same size.

55 servings of mapo tofu is still a bit difficult for Mr. Chen.The main reason is that there are a lot of them, and his physical strength can't keep up.

Blanch the tofu in water to remove the beany smell.

Mr. Chen is busy.

Also busy was Jiang Yang.

The carving was almost finished, but there was no way, Jiang Yang was still working hard to carve.

Although tired, the effect is quite obvious. The lotus flowers are placed neatly aside, looking really beautiful.

The soup was almost ready, and Jiang Yang could already smell the familiar aroma.At this point, there is no problem.Jiang Yang stirred up some soup with a small spoon and tasted the saltiness.

This is the taste, not bad.

Jiang Yang thought to himself.

Once the cabbage is carved, there is only the last step in cooking the boiled cabbage—steaming!

Boiling cabbage is not a steamed dish, so it doesn't need to be steamed for too long.So this last step is only carried out when the dishes are about to go up.

While preparing the ingredients, Raj Reddy babbled in F, not knowing what he was talking about.

The two people sent by Ning Ning looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

The two of them knew English, otherwise they wouldn't have been sent by Ning Ning.However, what they understand is only English, they can't understand F language, let alone Raj Reddy is mixed with the local dialect.

"Bastards, you are as stupid as baboons, this snail is not clean enough!" Raj Reddy suddenly cursed in English.

"God, if it weren't for no one, I would never use you. You are like the losers who came to my restaurant to apply for a job. You have no cooking talent." Raj Reddy cursed.

The faces of those two people are very ugly. Of course they have no cooking talent, and they are not chefs.I was so angry in my heart that I had the urge to quit.But reason won out after all, and they still endured it.

Not because of Raj Reddy, nor because of Ning Ning, but because of the Ning family!They couldn't afford to offend the Ning family, so even if Raj Reddy pointed at their noses and scolded them, they could only swallow their anger.

Raj Reddy cursed for a while, then finally died down.

His voice was so loud that almost everyone present could hear it.

Although many people don't know what Raj Reddy is talking about, but looking at the expressions of the three people, they know that it is not a good word.

Chen Cuyi naturally heard it too, he glanced up and snorted softly.

He didn't have the slightest sympathy for the two scolded, that's what they asked for.Growing distaste for Raj Reddy.

Jiang Yang ignored what happened on the side, his soup was ready.

The next step is to simmer, just keep the soup boiling but not boiling.

There is still half an hour before the banquet begins!

Raj Reddy has started the final cooking.

The other chefs also got ready.

They were like a machine ready to go, with full strength, as long as Chen Quanzhou gave an order, the machine could turn quickly.

It was the person from just now, who walked up to Chen Quanzhou and said softly, "Mr. Chen, the food can be served."

Chen Quanzhou nodded.

This does not mean that the banquet is open, but that cold dishes can be served.

This is the preparation before the banquet. The cold dishes are served first, the dishes, chopsticks and quilts are arranged, and the drinks and drinks are put away.Then the guests can be seated.

I am afraid that only families like the Ning family are so particular about banquets in the countryside.

For other banquets, the guests gather around the table as soon as they arrive, and they have to wait for the dishes to be served before entering the table!
After the man left, Chen Quanzhou waved to the chefs who were in charge of cold dishes.

Several people quickly gathered around.

"Is the cold dish ready?" Chen Quanzhou asked.

"It's all ready."

Chen Quanzhou nodded lightly and said, "Then serve!"

Several people shook their bodies and said quickly: "Okay!"

The cold dishes are divided into plates one by one, and the chef who arranges them has prepared them early.

The machine started to work, surprisingly fast.

I saw a few chefs cooperating tacitly, and the speed was faster than the person serving the dishes.

A beautifully presented dish was brought out and placed on each table.

…………

The person who was going to talk to Chen Quanzhou came to Mr. Ning's eldest son and whispered a few words.

Mr. Ning's eldest son immediately put a smile on his face.

He said to the guests below who were talking with a glass of red wine: "Everyone, the banquet is about to begin, everyone, please sit down!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and bent over to Mr. Ning and said, "Dad, Mr. Chen is ready."

Mr. Ning's expression remained unchanged, he stood up with a smile and said, "Everyone must be hungry, then let's eat first, and then we will have the energy to chat after eating."

Everyone responded one after another.

In addition to the place where Mr. Ning was, there were also people in another place.

Most of the people here are young people, and those who are responsible for entertaining are naturally the juniors of the Ning family.

There is another place where the well-dressed ladies are all talking about eating, drinking and having fun.

The Ning family's business is extensive, so they naturally have many friends.Especially Mr. Ning's [-]th birthday, anyone who can come will come.

No matter if it is a partner or someone who is fawning on the Ning family, even if they really can't leave, they will send someone to give gifts.

There are also many relatives of the Ning family who can be next to each other, and they all came.

Therefore, it was prescient for the Ning family to prepare 55 tables of dishes.

For this kind of banquet, the arrangement of the location is very important.There is a lot of knowledge about who is right to arrange those people at a table, and who is right to sit with whom.

However, this was not a problem for the Ning family, who easily arranged everyone in a suitable position.
