Chapter 668 Order a Su Ji dish(1/2)
Su Jinrong decided to order dishes. He had no intention of picking up the menu at all, and sat upright waiting for Su Liancheng to prepare.
Su Liancheng also conducted some arrangements outside the door, sorted out his clothes, made all preparations, took a deep breath before stepping into the room.
"Good afternoon, everyone, Fujinglou is very happy to welcome you. Today, the dishes we are mainly promoting in Fujinglou are several dishes in the Red House Banquet. I wonder if you need to start ordering now?"
After hearing what Su Liancheng said, Su Jinrong said calmly: "Well, order the food."
Su Lianzhen took out the menu and was about to hand it over to everyone to see.
But Su Jinrong spoke first: "A bad letter."
As soon as Su Jinrong spoke, he disrupted Su Liancheng's rhythm in an instant, but he also made quick adjustments, first handing the menu to everyone, and then quickly started recording.
"Since it's the dish of the Red House Banquet, I'll have a portion of rouge goose jerky and chestnut roast chicken."
Rouge goose jerky is available on the menu, and this chestnut roast chicken is not among the Honglou dishes on the menu. However, there is indeed such a dish on Fujinglou, but the method may be slightly different.
Su Liancheng hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Old sir, I'm so sorry, the chestnut roast chicken in our Fujinglou may not be the method of the Red House banquet."
Su Jinrong did not blame him, but nodded: "Yes, just follow your actions."
Su Liancheng thought about it and said, "I will ask the chef for you. If they can use the Red Chamber method, we will give you the Red Chamber method. If it doesn't work, please forgive me."
Su Jinrong did not expect that Su Liancheng would reply to him like this.
But Feng Yifan nodded with Su Liancheng's answer.
This is indeed a top restaurant, a workaround that a close-up student should make.
Su Jinrong nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
Next, Su Jinrong ordered a few more dishes.
After a few simple and common dishes, Su Jinrong ordered a key dish that came here today: "Well, I need a "Shrimp Roast and Pork Fire Recipe".
Su Liancheng was stunned when he heard this dish name.
"What? What dish are you talking about? This dish seems to be not on our menu."
Such a dish, Su Liancheng is indeed a dish that he has never heard of even his name.
So he subconsciously said that there was no such dish on the menu.
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "I know there is no on your menu, but I heard that you have hired a new chef. He has learned to cook in Su Ji. Since he is a chef who came out of Su Ji, you should know this dish and tell your chef that I think he should be able to cook."
Su Liancheng was really a little surprised. From the moment Su Jinrong mentioned the name of the dish, he knew very well that this dish must be from Su Ji's unique dish.
But he was surprised that he had never heard his parents mention such a dish.
Feng Yifan was also a little surprised when he heard the name of the dish.
Of course, after looking at his father-in-law's expression, he probably understood his father-in-law's intention, which was deliberately trying to test Sun Mingxing. See if this senior brother had forgotten Su Ji's food back then.
After hearing Su Jinrong's words, Su Liancheng hesitated for a moment and could only say respectfully: "Okay, old man, I will ask the chef first. If the chef agrees, we will make arrangements for you, but if the chef is unwilling to do it, please forgive me, sir."
Su Jinrong was not polite and said directly: "Well, if the chef doesn't want to do it, let him come and see me."
Su Liancheng understood this time that his uncle obviously deliberately wanted to find a senior brother.
Su Liancheng naturally had no right to participate in the matter of the older generation, so he could only nod and agree: "Well, okay, I will tell the chef, sir, what other dishes do you need?"
Su Jinrong said: "Well, let's have a dessert at the end and give it to me these little grandchildren."
Feng Ruoru heard his grandfather ordered desserts and turned his head and asked his mother in a low voice: "Mom, can I speak?"
Of course, this sentence was heard by Su Jinrong. Su Jinrong said: "Does Ruoru want to eat any desserts? You can say it, let the kitchen here make it for you."
Seeing that his grandfather agreed to speak, the little girl said to Su Liancheng: "Uncle, please ask your kitchen to make delicious snacks for me and my sister and brother. If it is not delicious, Ruruo will not like it."
Su Liancheng asked: "What snacks do Ruoruo want?"
Feng Ruoruo thought about it and said, "Ruoruo doesn't know. There are so many amazing chefs in your kitchen that they can make, and they must be delicious."
Su Liancheng's smile froze a little, then he still kept smiling and said, "Okay."
But in my heart, Su Liancheng was really depressed and thought: You two grandparents and grandchildren came here on purpose today to find fault, right?
Grandpa ordered a dish I had never heard of before, and his granddaughter didn't even mention the name of the dish, and asked the chef in the kitchen to play it out by himself.
Su Liancheng felt helpless and complained, but he still had to keep a smile on his face and asked again.
"So, do other guests need anything else?"
Su Ruoxi handed over the menu and shook her head to indicate that there was no need.
When it was Feng Yifan's turn, Su Liancheng was really nervous again, afraid that Feng Yifan would ask him and the kitchen for another problem.
Sure enough, Feng Yifan asked, "Do you have any wine?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard his father's words, the little girl said, "Dad, you can't drink."
Feng Yifan smiled and said to his daughter: "It doesn't matter, let's drink a little bit, and we will guarantee that we won't drink too much, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted his little mouth and was very unhappy. Then his mother hugged her and muttered softly in her ear. The little girl finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, but don't drink a lot."
Feng Yifan nodded and agreed: "Okay, I promise not to drink too much."
Su Liancheng then replied: "We have all kinds of wines, white wine, rice wine and wine. I wonder what wine do you need, sir?"
Feng Yifan then asked: "Do you have any recommendations?"
Su Liancheng was stunned for a moment and soon realized that this was a test.
Because when guests are dining, some guests may ask for recommendations of wine. At this time, you need to recommend appropriate wine based on the dishes ordered by the guests, and it must be able to match the dishes ordered.
Su Liancheng thought for a moment and said, "Based on the dishes you ordered today, I recommend you try the rice wine we have here, which is a type of rice wine and is specially purchased by our Fujinglou. It has a mellow taste and is suitable for matching the dishes you ordered today."
Then Su Liancheng gave a detailed introduction to the categories of wine, some characteristics of wine, and the types of wine purchased by Fujinglou.
After listening, Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, then let's add some rice and a pot."
Su Liancheng nodded: "Okay, finally confirm the menu with you."
After confirming that, Su Liancheng retreated and left the room.
The moment he walked out of the room, Su Liancheng was relieved, and he suddenly felt that his clothes on his back were already wet with sweat. It was the first time when he faced such a scene, he felt so nervous that he did not dare to be careless at all.
Some waiters next to him saw Su Liancheng gasping for breath and quietly wiped his sweat. Someone came over to ask about his well-being.
"Manager Su, are you okay?"
Su Liancheng looked at the waiter who came to ask, shook his head and said, "It's okay, you guys go and do your work, pay attention to your attitude towards the guests, remember that our Fujinglou is a first-class restaurant, and you must keep up with all services. Never contradict the guests."
The waiter quickly agreed to turn around and leave.
Su Liancheng took the menu and quickly walked through the restaurant hall and entered the kitchen directly.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Su Liancheng found Sun Mingxing, handed the menu to the other party, and whispered: "Uncle Ninth Master, my uncle ordered a dish that was not on the menu, saying that you know how to make it, and that it was an old dish from Su Ji, and he asked you to make it for him to try it."
Sun Mingxing glanced at the menu and saw the dish instantly.
"Shrimp meat, five-carf firewood recipe".
After seeing this, a wry smile appeared on Sun Mingxing's face: "Su Jinrong, Su Jinrong, I didn't expect you would order this dish, but it was really embarrassing me."
Hearing Sun Mingxing say this, Su Liancheng couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Master, is there really this dish?"
Sun Mingxing nodded: "Of course there is, this is a dish that has been on the state banquet menu. It was the best dish that your grandfather, my master, was at the time."
Su Liancheng was a little surprised: "How is there really?"
Sun Mingxing continued: "This dish has another name, called "Hua Fang Kuang Su".
Su Liancheng has never heard of such a name.
Sun Mingxing recalled and explained: "The flower recipe means to use the best pork belly in all directions and cook according to the fire recipe. However, the inside of the fire recipe must be hollowed out, that is, the upper layer of the pork belly is not broken, and the inside is hollowed out, and then the crispy meat is poured into it. Finally, the surface needs to be changed to a flower knife like cherry meat.
Steam first, then stew it so that the pork belly is soft and glutinous, and then pour it into the crispy meat and eat pork belly gravy. This dish is done.”
Su Liancheng thought carefully and asked: "This crispy meat is also meat, and the heat outside is also meat. Isn't this meat stuffed with meat?"
Sun Mingxing smiled and shook his head: "No, the difficulty of this dish is that you have to take off the part of the square pork belly and make it into crispy meat, a unique Suji method of making crispy meat, and then pour it into it like this to make such a square pork belly still complete."
This time Su Liancheng understood that this dish was made with a piece of pork belly.
It is equivalent to saying that, giving a piece of pork belly two layers inside and outside.
After thinking about this carefully, Su Liancheng couldn't help but sigh that such a dish was really a bit magical. No wonder his grandfather could put this dish at the state banquet.
The same piece of pork belly is made of two different methods and finally blended into a dish.
It's indeed a wonderful combination.
Su Liancheng looked at his uncle carefully and asked, "Then, uncle, can you do it today?"
Sun Mingxing smiled bitterly and said, "If I can't say that I can't do it, will I be driven out by Su Jinrong?"
Su Liancheng quickly said, "That can't be, you are still the chef of Fujinglou."
Sun Mingxing thought for a while and said, "Forget it, since Jinrong has ordered this dish, I will make it today. Are you ready for Fujinglou?
Su Lianzhen Ke said: "There must be some of this, and our pork is a good selection of bald pigs."
Sun Mingxing nodded: "Okay, then start preparing."
