Chapter 964 Start serving dishes, combining Chinese and Western(1/2)

After Su Jinrong and Feng Yifan led the people away, the two old men carefully looked at the dishes on the table, then smiled at each other, and then asked everyone to eat together.

"Okay, let's try it."

"Take a look, what is Su Ji's craftsmanship now?"

Five-spice fish, chicken with oil, stir-fried cucumber, and crystal meat.

It just corresponds to four major cuisines.

When Su Quansheng hosted this state banquet, he also specifically considered the differences between the north and the south, so the choice of each dish was very particular.

First of all, the eight cold dishes that were once the first banquet were reduced to four.

Four candied fruit plates were added, which fully considered the appetizers, and at the same time, the guests at the banquet would not be allowed to eat a lot, and the cold dishes would not be snatched the food in the back.

Moreover, the taste characteristics of the east, west, south, north and north are also taken into account.

Among them, the five-spice fish corresponds to the northern flavor: mainly salty and fragrant, and will be slightly sweet, but it should not be particularly obvious.

Oil-dripping chicken is naturally a classic cold dish in Cantonese cuisine. The aroma of compound soy sauce is also very attractive.

The crystal meat represents the eastern Jiangnan region and is also a very classic cold dish.

The last stir-fried cucumber is the western cuisine representative Sichuan cuisine.

It is really four dishes, including some flavors of different from east, west, south, north and north.

The two old men moved their chopsticks first and used public chopsticks to put the dishes into their respective bowls.

When Mr. Zhang saw the colors of the bowl, he smiled and said, "Oh? This bowl is really a bit particular? Peony flowers."

Mr. Zhu also looked at it when he heard it. Before picking up the food, he looked at the bottom of the bowl.

"Hahaha, it's really from the porcelain capital."

Zhuang Daozhong said, "These tableware are customized by Feng Yifan specifically from the porcelain capital. Because of these tableware, Su Ji was criticized by some people on the Internet, saying that it does not meet foreign standards.

But Feng Yifan also made a very generous explanation on the Internet. He said that porcelain originated from us and naturally supported domestic porcelain. Moreover, the entire set of tableware is customized from porcelain capitals. In those porcelain companies abroad, they really cannot customize these."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang slapped the table gently and said, "Okay, that's right."

Mr. Zhu also said: "That's right, we should use our own things. Porcelain is a symbol of our country. How can we use foreign ones?"

Zhuang Daozhong said with a serious expression: "It's just that there are too many foreign restaurants coming in now, and the country is also attracted by some star-rated restaurants, so everyone is trying to use their standards to get close to and meet their requirements. This has to be said to be our own sorrow."

The two old men looked at each other, and at this moment they seemed to understand why Feng Yifan wanted to establish a new set of standards.

The elderly also feel that they cannot always get close to other people’s standards, but must have their own standards.

Mr. Zhang said: "Well, we really need to have our own standards."

Mr. Zhu said: "Yes, we must make our own things more adapted to our own market."

After the two old men moved their chopsticks, they also asked everyone to taste them together.

The elderly from the three families naturally gave them to the three little girls first.

The little girls tasted the cold dishes and found them very delicious.

Of course, the little girls feel very intuitive, and they still prefer to eat meat. Stir-fried cucumbers are obviously not very popular among little girls.

And what little girls like more than meat must be four kinds of honey fruits.

Feng Ruoruo couldn't wait to raise his little hand and whisper to his grandma: "Grandma, I want to eat that."

Yang Xiaoxi also said to his grandmother: "Grandma, I want to eat the fruit on that plate."

Chen Yaofei did not beg, but she also looked at the Four Misty Fruits.

Finally, the old people also picked up a piece for the little girls.

After eating candied fruit, the little girls suddenly felt very happy.

Seeing this, the two old men laughed.

"Hahaha, kids still prefer sweets."

"Yes, when you eat sweets, you really want to eat meat."

The three little girls ate with a smile and did not argue with the old men.

While eating upstairs, Yang Zhiyi rushed to Su Ji in a hurry.

Seeing that there were many people inside and outside Su Ji’s door, Yang Zhiyi was also a little surprised. After entering the door, he approached Su Ruoxi’s cashier and asked a little strangely.

Su Ruoxi said: "Just stop talking nonsense, if you want to go upstairs, go up first."

Yang Zhiyi glanced at the kitchen and saw Feng Yifan and Su Jinrong busy in the kitchen. He could also think of who was upstairs.

He thought carefully and said, "Why don't I go up first, right? You guys didn't go up, I'm just a young man, it's really a bit embarrassing."

Su Ruoxi said: "You can go up and go to the next room to entertain the two elderly entourage members."

Yang Zhiyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What? Do you still have to drink?"

Su Ruoxi said laughing and crying: "What are you thinking? How can you drink? People still have to rush back tonight, so you should wait downstairs. We may have to wait for a while before we can go upstairs."

Yang Zhiyi said: "You don't close the door like this, and you are really bold in doing business while receiving guests upstairs."

Su Ruoxi said: "What's the matter? People didn't come here for the first time, and no one knew about it. So, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you may not be able to escape if something happens."

Yang Zhiyi quickly covered his mouth, not daring to say anything else.

At the same time, Feng Yifan in the kitchen had already inspected the dishes everyone made and confirmed that there was no problem. This time he asked Shi Jiahui and Katherine to take people upstairs.

"Sister Sister, Catherine, remember that this is your opportunity to show it. Don't waste this opportunity in vain. After you go upstairs to serve the food, the senior sister and Catherine will introduce the people, and then let the others come down first. You two will leave it upstairs and introduce your dishes."

After listening to Feng Yifan’s arrangements, Shi Jiahui and Katherine were also quite clear.

In fact, when Shi Jiahui was in the Shanghai hotel, she also received some people, so she knew some of the procedures.

As for Catherine, she even attended the royal banquet with Feng Yifan, so she would not be stage frightened.

Afterwards, Feng Yifan asked Shi Jiahui and Catherine to lead everyone, holding the dishes in their hands, and went upstairs one after another.

For Su Ji’s guests, although they were a little curious about why the chef went upstairs one after another?

But seeing Feng Yifan is still busy in the kitchen, no one thinks there is anything wrong, just treating it as the food served to the guests.

After all, Feng Yifan once served the food for the guests himself.

Shi Jiahui and Catherine led everyone upstairs, first knocked on the door, then pushed open the door and entered the room.

After entering the door, Shi Jiahui was putting the dishes, while Katherine helped open the lids of the dishes, took out the tray and handed them to Shi Jiahui for placement.

While Shi Jiahui was putting the dishes, she also briefly introduced them to everyone.

"The crispy lobster is a dish specially prepared for the two of us at the sous chef of our Ruo restaurant today."

"Sea cucumber elbows are the dishes I prepared specifically today."

"Golden Crab, Ma Xiaolong, the dishes prepared by our chef apprentice."

"Braised chicken with red wine, the dish prepared by restaurant chef Hans."

"Small cuttlefish with scallions, prepared by restaurant chef Tom."

"Stir-fried lentils with mushrooms, dishes prepared by Suji chef Chen Xu."

...

Each dish was placed on the table, and Shi Jiahui also introduced it to the two old men one by one.

Among them, the first six dishes were prepared by the chefs, and the last two dishes were interspersed by Feng Yifan into this menu, which is to make up for some taste shortcomings.

"The last two dishes were prepared by the chef, "Salted Three Fresh Fresh" and "Eggy Pork".

Hearing the name of the last dish, the two old men sat up instantly and looked at the plate with curiosity.

Similarly, when the other old people heard the name, they were curious to look over.

Mr. Zhu asked: "Yuanzi? Is it from the Dream of Red Mansions?"

Zhuang Daozhong also asked curiously: "Is it the one who steamed nine times?"

Mr. Zhang looked at the dish on the plate and asked, "Is this the eggplant?"

Shi Jiahui and others did not expect that the report of eggplant would actually cause the elderly to be so excited.

Chen Shoulin gave an explanation: "Don't think we are biased and favored your chef. It's really unusual for us old people. We have carefully read Dream of Red Mansions, so we are really curious about this eggplant."

Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, I understand, but this eggplant may not be made exactly as written in the book. I heard that it was the chef who made this dish after making improvements."

Mr. Zhang asked curiously: "How did it be done?"

Shi Jiahui explained: "In fact, the chef used some methods of making eight treasure sauce, stir-frying the diced eggplant made with various ingredients. However, I was not actually very clear about the specific methods of making eggplant before. You can wait for the chef to come up later and ask."

Zhuang Daozhong then smoothed out: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this eggplant for now."

Zhuang Daozhong pointed to the other dishes on the table and said, "Old Zhang, Mr. Zhu, these dishes are some of the dishes created by the chefs of Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant. Please give me some of them?"

The two old men smiled and said that they were too overestimated.

"I dare not be a guide. You are all very powerful chefs. We can only be two ordinary diners."
