Chapter 553: Yunzhou chef enters Beijing(1/2)
Chapter 553 Yunzhou chef comes to Beijing
An elder sister smiled and said: "Stop making trouble! You guys! Xiao Bailong will be invited by the Food and Drug Administration in a while!"
Secretary Tang walked in and looked at He Huan with a smile, "The chef requested to change the menu and it has been approved. You asked for a Yunzhou chef to come to Beijing."
"Ah?" He Huan's eyes widened.
"Ah!" everyone cheered.
He Huan reacted and was very happy. Unexpectedly, he casually mentioned that the chef was going to change the menu. He really took it in. He really had high demands on himself!
This will be the first time that Yunzhou cuisine is served at a state banquet!
If nothing else happens.
Everyone looked at his excitement and said, "You are really Yunzhou's treasure!"
He Huan was all smiles, and he was not embarrassed at all. The state banquet has always included those few dishes, which are very classic and they are very good at them. However, there are so many cuisines in our country and the ingredients are so rich. After so many years, the Spring Festival Gala has not only eaten dumplings.
So we can’t just eat those few dishes at the state banquet, right?
I called Director Cheng and explained the situation, "I originally wanted to contact the Food Association, but for the state banquet, I would like you to recommend a reliable chef."
Director Cheng was overjoyed, "Xiao Bailong, you are really awesome! As soon as you went to Yanjing, you served Yunzhou cuisine at the state banquet!"
He Huan was a little embarrassed, trying to hide his preference, and said obviously: "I don't specifically recommend Yunzhou cuisine. I did try the dishes. Although those dishes are famous for their freshness, they are all fresh meat and river seafood. I think they are better than mushrooms."
, you don’t need to eat meat or seafood.”
"Hahaha... That's not what you told them, right?"
"I didn't say it so obviously."
Director Cheng smiled and said: "I worked in Jiangsu, and the food there does tend to be fresh and sweet. This is more in line with foreigners' tastes."
“It’s really good! But basically every dish is fresh and sweet. There are only four dishes and one soup, pork and fresh seafood are put together. The only vegetarian dish is also made with chicken soup, which is really a bit boring.
I think washing it with fungi with pure mountain flavor will sweep away the greasy smell, leaving a fragrance on your lips and teeth, leaving you with a fresh feeling."
"Yeah. My favorite thing to eat when I came to Yunzhou is mushrooms. With bacteria, any meat has to be put back."
"That's what it means, to give them a cleanse and shock to their taste buds."
"Hahaha...I will immediately ask the whole province to find a chef."
"Except for the chef, the mushrooms should be fresh, highlighting the original flavor and not mixed with anything else. As long as you have two specialty dishes, one mushroom soup and one mushroom fried rice, you can enter Beijing."
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Director Cheng reported it to the governor again. The two of them were very happy to find the chef. If Yunzhou cuisine is really served at the state banquet, what an honor it would be!
Yunnan cuisine has never left Yunzhou, and it is not well-known. It is far away from the eight major cuisines.
Little Bailong is really Yunzhou’s treasure! Now that he has left Yunzhou, he can still contribute to Yunzhou!
That night, Director Cheng called him: "The chef has been booked. The chef of Chuxiong Quanjunyan Tourist Restaurant has been making mushrooms for thirty years and has rich experience!"
"OK!"
"The political review has been passed. Chuxiong is a Yi ethnic minority and a pure peasant family. But we still need to prepare the ingredients and take a flight to Yanjing the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll pick him up then."
Two days later, near noon, He Huan went to the airport to pick up the chef from Yunzhou. The female tour guide was afraid that he would get lost. After seeing the path he just walked in the Forbidden City, he would look confused when he walked back, so she took the initiative to accompany him.
go.
He Huan said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Sister Jin, otherwise I would have taken him to Tianjin."
There is also a driver following me, this is really an exaggeration!
Director Jin smiled and said: "I mainly want to eat mushrooms! It's better to get to know your Yunzhou chef first!"
"Hahaha... let's go."
Director Jin was with him, so he didn't call the driver. Director Jin drove He Huan to the airport in his own car.
The chef pushed the luggage cart out, and his eyes lit up when he saw people from his hometown in the capital. For Yunzhou people, Xiao Bailong is a hometown person! He trotted out pushing the luggage cart, excited and shy, "Little Bailong!"
"
He Huan took the luggage cart and said, "Welcome to Yanjing!"
Shaking his hand, He Huan found that his hand was shaking a little, so He Huan knowingly asked, "What's your surname?"
"Guo."
"You see, your surname is Guo, so you are destined to host state banquets."
"Hahaha……"
Master Guo also relaxed and looked at Xiao Bailong happily, "Last time the inspection team came, our restaurant also signed up, but because it was not the season when mushrooms are on the market, the president felt that we could not reflect the richness of the mushrooms, so we were not selected.
.”
He still has some grievances.
He Huan said with a smile: "You were not selected last time, but aren't you selected for the state banquet this time?"
Master Guo smiled happily.
"Brother Oppa always said that I don't recommend Chuxiong. If I hadn't been in Yanjing, I should be in Baicaoling at this time, eating fungi in Chuxiong."
"Yes!" Master Guo nodded.
He Huan looked at the two foam boxes on the suitcase again, "Are they all fresh?"
"Yeah! I just picked them at four or five o'clock today, and then I rushed to Spring City to catch a plane before dawn."
"Wow! Thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work." Master Guo smiled honestly, "Mushrooms must be harvested and eaten immediately. Fortunately, the spring rains continued during this period. Although there was not a large amount of mushrooms on the market, when the task came, we hurried into the mountains to look for the mushrooms. Fortunately, there were
Found more than a dozen species.”
"Good, good! It's already very rich in spring!"
"Yes! If there is a spring drought, it won't happen. Fortunately, God seems to know that we are going to have a state banquet. It rained non-stop the week before, so fungi popped up everywhere."
Director Jin listened to them beside him, yearning for it and holding back his saliva.
He Huan introduced with a smile: "This is Director Jin, as the name suggests, a national gold medal tour guide! This is also a food tester! Master Guo, you not only want to conquer the head chef, but also conquer the mouth of this gold medal tour guide!"
"Hello, hello! I'll make fungi for you to eat later!"
Director Jin was so happy that he shook hands with Master Guo, "I heard from Xiao Bailong that Yunzhou has the freshest mushrooms. I dream about eating mushrooms at night, and today my dream finally comes true!"
"Yeah, um. Eat it in a while, eat it in a while. Make sure it's fresh!" Master Guo said.
He Huan's mouth watered when he said it. It's easy to say that Yanjing is an international metropolis. Although it has food from all over the world, it is still dominated by northern cuisine. His southwestern stomach is really not very good these days.
conform to.
Several people happily got into the car and went straight to the State Banquet Hotel.
The general manager and chef are waiting at the door of the hotel.
After getting off the car, He Huan opened the trunk and took down Master Guo's suitcase.
Master Guo took down the foam box.
He Huan made an introduction to both parties and submitted a resume that had undergone political review and was sent by the Engineering Bureau.
The general manager looked at it and nodded.
Being able to meet the head chef of a state banquet is an honor in the chef world. Master Guo bowed and shook hands. He was so excited that he almost bowed.
But the head chef looked at Master Guo. He was a simple mountain man, not the image of a chef in a high-end restaurant.
After all, it is a state banquet and cannot be treated like a roadside restaurant.
But he didn’t say anything. Anyway, the food he was trying was not suitable, so he could still be asked to go back.
"You should take a rest first and try the dishes tomorrow."
"Try it now!" Master Guo picked up the foam box and spoke in Yunzhou Mandarin. "I went up the mountain with my colleagues to pick up the fungi in the early morning. I picked the best ones and packed them into boxes and carried them on the plane. They have to be thrown away tomorrow.
! It won’t work even if it’s at night. To maintain the freshest flavor, cook it now!”
This wild man suddenly revealed the unquestionable tone of a chef who has been dealing with fungi for thirty years.
It actually shocked the head chef who had received countless heads of state and senior officials.
I appreciate him more.
He Huan also looked at Master Guo happily. He must be a professional to have such confidence! Our fungi cannot be slandered! We cannot be neglected!
He Huan put his suitcase aside, and Master Guo ignored it. He held the foam box and asked the head chef to take him to the kitchen.
The head chef had no choice but to nod. Yunzhou people are indeed a bit wild!
Several waiters stretched out their hands to help. Master Guo held the foam box and crooked his arm as if protecting a child.
Both He Huan and Director Jin couldn't help laughing.
