21 Royal Kitchen Successor
Zhang Zhenjun drove for half an hour before arriving at an antique courtyard house.
After entering the small courtyard, no one greeted him. Zhang Zhenjun led Yun Feiyang straight to a small private room where there was no one.
"Why is there not even a waiter here? It seems very deserted."
"Only acquaintances are entertained here, strangers are not entertained. There are only ten tables every day, and there is no additional table. I borrowed my grandfather's name to reserve the table today, and I am not qualified to reserve a table here.
"Zhang Zhenjun explained.
"Who runs this place and is so awesome? Do you have any explanation?"
"The boss here is Mr. Jiang, who is a descendant of a family of royal chefs and is known as the God of Cookery. Every day, Mr. Jiang will cook ten dishes by himself, one randomly for each table. Other dishes are also made by his direct disciples, and they taste really good.
It's very good, you can't eat it outside. Especially the dishes made by the old man himself, the taste is really amazing, any home-cooked side dish can make people swallow their tongue." Zhang Zhenjun looked like he was about to drool.
It didn't take long for the four dishes to be served.
"These four dishes are all the work of the master who was passed down to his disciples. Master, come and try them."
"They are indeed very good. Eight kinds of meat fillings are used in this 'Dinghai Shenzhu' dish, and each of them is the most tender tenderloin; the lotus in this 'Xiangu Lotus Picking' dish is actually made of six kinds of ingredients
There are a total of eighteen lotus petals, and they are all one-flavored, so delicate; this 'bass in sauce' is fresh and tender, and just right. This sauce is the best, it should be made with sixteen flavors of ingredients, it is really rich
The fragrance is overflowing without overshadowing the freshness of the fish; this 'secret chicken feet' is the most extraordinary. The chicken feet are all pheasant feet. There should be twenty-four kinds of materials used for pickling and thirteen kinds of materials used for baking.
, there are two ingredients in it that I have never seen before, and I don’t know what they are. This dish is so delicious, I guess this dish must have been made by the old man himself.”
"Are today's young people so good? Come and try this dish again and comment on it. Don't just say it's good, but also talk about its shortcomings."
At this time, a cheerful old man walked in along with the waiter who served the food.
"Grandpa Jiang, why did you come here in person? What's the matter?" Zhang Zhenjun stood up and said.
"Your grandma specially called me yesterday to order some snacks. I'll bring them over and you can take them there. You don't have to ask someone to pick them up."
"I'm sorry for bothering Grandpa again."
"Don't say these kind words to me. Compared with your grandma's kindness back then, these are nothing."
"Young man, I see you are very unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? You can come here more often in the future. Listening to what you just said, I will know that you are a real expert."
"Grandpa Jiang, this is the master I kowtow to. My master's surname is Yun, and his name is Yun Feiyang."
"A master who can make you kowtow to Zhenjun must be extraordinary. No wonder he has such a powerful tongue?"
"No matter how powerful your tongue is, it can't compare to General's cooking skills. Today, I really have a good taste, but it's thanks to General's hard work." Yun Feiyang said in greeting.
"Then you come and taste this dish I made by myself. How do you like it?"
The waiter placed a plate of green vegetables in the center of the table.
Yun Feiyang first looked at the dishes carefully, then distinguished the aroma emanating from them, and then picked up a vegetable leaf and tasted it carefully.
After tasting it, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and said: "Although it is a very ordinary stir-fried potato tip, the color is bright green, the aroma is light and strong, the taste is extremely clear, tender, fresh and beautiful, and the heat is very unique. The potato tip
Still crispy and tender. The oil is peanut oil, which should be self-pressed. It is also mixed with 2% sesame oil, 3% olive oil, 1% shrimp oil, and I don’t know what it is.
If you have to find fault with the eggs, first of all, although the heat is very appropriate, it is not subtle and not very uniform; secondly, the olive oil is not suitable, and it would be better if it was replaced with 1% chicken fat; thirdly, this
There is a special spice used in it, although I don’t know what it is, but if it is reduced a little bit, the taste will be better.”
"What a terrifying young man! I have met countless gourmets, but I have never had one who tastes as meticulously as you. Now some people call me the God of Cookery, but I really don't dare to take it, because I have not yet reached the state of ecstasy. Regardless of the heat, ingredients,
When it comes to carving, I'm still missing a little bit. But just this little bit always prevents my dishes from being perfect." Mr. Jiang was very impressed by Yun Feiyang's discerning ability.
"In fact, any technique, after reaching a certain height, must pursue the state of trance. If you reach the state of trance, you can be called a master. If you reach the state of conveying the spirit, you can be called a grand master. In fact, Jiang Lao has already reached the ultimate level of a master, and there is only one short step left.
The realm of the Grandmaster.”
"Unexpectedly, Feiyang not only has a fine understanding of dishes, but also has a profound understanding of techniques. Feiyang, you must come to my place more often in the future. You don't need to order food in advance when you come here, just come directly, and I will personally serve you
When you cook, you just need to tell me your taste." Jiang Lao said very formally.
"Then you're welcome. I will come here often in the future."
The old man discussed with Yun Feiyang the advantages and disadvantages of some of today's dishes, and then left with satisfaction.
"Master, I didn't expect that you are also a gourmet. Even the general can point out the shortcomings of the food he cooked. I admire you so much, apprentice." Zhang Zhenjun admired sincerely.
"In fact, all arts are the same. When you reach the ultimate level in one skill, you will also understand the principles of other similar skills. If you study it, it will not be difficult." Yun Feiyang explained.
"These principles are very profound and are not suitable for ordinary people like me to understand. I will be satisfied as long as I learn martial arts from you, master."
Although the food at lunch was not much, it was really delicious. Moreover, Yun Feiyang also got a special invitation to come here to dine at any time, which was really a big reward.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yun Feiyang arrived at the Kyoto headquarters of Citibank in the United States on time. The president of Citibank's Greater China region personally received Yun Feiyang and his party.
Because the two treasures that Yun Feiyang mortgaged were of high value, Citi's professionals gave them high marks after evaluation, and with Sotheby's as the guarantee for this two-month large loan, the bank had nothing at all.
Risk, so the loan procedures were processed very quickly. Before the end of the day, Yun Feiyang's newly opened Citibank account received the 500 million rice gold.
By the way, Yun Feiyang opened a personal checking business at Citibank and at the same time exchanged 100 million Chinese dollars in his account for daily use.
After coming out of Citigroup, Yun Feiyang did not agree to Xu Xianming's banquet in the evening, but went to a private club early with Zhang Zhenjun.
This Tang club is one of the most high-end clubs in Kyoto. It has a special background and is an industry of the Hong Bang, the most influential social organization in the world.
As a long-established social organization in China, the Hong Gang began to shift its development focus to Southeast Asia and the United States after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Its business has achieved rapid development. It has not only established a large-scale consortium, but also has extraordinary influence on the political situation in Southeast Asia.
It has also gained a certain say in the economy and politics of the United States.
Now that China has adhered to the policy of reform and opening up for more than half a century, the reform has entered a deep-water stable period. For some issues that were very restrictive in the past, according to the changes in the actual situation, some adjustments have been made that are more in line with reality.
This Tang club is the product of special circumstances. Under the mediation of the Hong Gang, this Tang club is the only one that has been approved by the government. Under the premise of not involving drugs and under the supervision of the government, it can have limited small business.
It is a place where gambling is organized on a large scale. Although there are many strict restrictions, such as civil servants are not allowed to participate in gambling, after all, this is the only legal place where gambling can be carried out openly, so there is a natural flow of people and a booming business.
The composition of the board of directors of the Tangren Club is also very complicated. Hongmen only actually owns 40% of the shares, followed by the military secretly holding 2% of the shares, and the other shares have been divided up by powerful figures of all sizes in the country.
