Chapter 919 No Spring Without Wild Vegetables

Just now the waiter informed that the chef of Jinpeng Fish Restaurant led the team to exchange and study.

That means the boss came to the store in person.

Not only did Fu Yu get the news, but Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu also heard about it.

Yao Shi was not there, so the two chefs went to greet him as representatives, and Fu Yu, as the leader of the study group, also accompanied him.

When the two sides met each other, they were both taken aback.

Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu had eaten at Jinpeng Fish Meat Restaurant before, but they had never met the rumored violent boss.

The main reason is that the business of the restaurant is so good that the boss stays in front of the kitchen every day and cannot do without people.

In my impression, he should be a boss with a big head, a thick neck, a good hand, thick brows and big eyes, and a bell-like voice. In fact, he is an old man with glasses, a gentle appearance, a thin body, but well-proportioned muscles.

The old man looked about sixty years old, wearing casual clothes, and occasionally lifted his glasses habitually when talking.

The contrast was so strong that even Gu Yunwu, who was always good at pretending, almost couldn't control his expression.

They were very surprised, and Xie Jing looked at Fu Yu in front of him with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Before coming here, Xie Jing had heard that the members of the study group sent by Maxima this time were all newcomers, but it turned out that the team leader would be so young!

This Chef Fu seems to be in his early twenties, are all the younger generations like this?

Xie Jing thought of what her old friend said before, and now she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Many people in the local circle in Bei'an have heard about Qianlima, a rookie chef.

It is said that there is a young chef in Maxima, who is very skilled. He not only joined the Provincial Food Association, but also participated in the video cooking competition held at the annual meeting on behalf of Bei'an last year, and got a good ranking.

Many people in the circle were amazed when they heard the news.

Because it is said that this chef Fu is very young, but to be able to join the Provincial Food Association and win awards in the annual meeting competition must be due to his extraordinary talent.

It's just that no matter how talented you are, without years of accumulation, you won't be able to achieve anything.

That's the way it is in the chef's profession, there are no shortcuts.

It is also because of this that in the hearts of colleagues who have not met Fu Yu, no matter how young this rookie is, he must be at least in his early thirties.

In the end, Cheng Xiang was only in his early twenties!

Just as the two sides looked at each other, Gu Yunwu took the lead to greet the guests with a smile: "Welcome, welcome! Hello, Chef Xie, I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have never had a chance to meet you. My name is Gu Yunwu, and this is Zhao Meng. We are the chef of Maxima, his name is Fu Yu, and he is the person in charge of this study exchange group."

Xie Jing smiled and greeted, and introduced the three people she brought.

Jinpeng Fish Meat Restaurant has a small storefront, including Xie Jing, the owner and chef, there is also a chef in charge and two small workers.

The chef is Xie Jing's son, Xie Mingyou, and two other small workers are recruited later. One has been working for more than five years and is considered an old man, and the other has only worked for more than two years.

Xie Jing, who has been in charge for decades, is very aware of how rare this kind of opportunity for exchange and learning among peers is.

It is rare to go to other stores to learn cooking experience, and simply bring everyone in the back kitchen with you, and it will be regarded as free training.

The two sides exchanged a few words enthusiastically, and then they went to the back kitchen together.

Gu Yunwu has always been good at dancing, so he will accompany Xie Jing to walk in front.

Zhao Meng took the opportunity to pull Fu Yu to follow behind, and asked in a voice that could only be heard between the two of them: "What are you going to cook later?"

Xie Jing and his party came suddenly, and Fu Yu was completely unprepared.

The main reason is that during this period of time, many customers want to catch up with the closing stage of Kaijiang fish, and taste the annual Kaijiang fresh fish for the last time.

Therefore, the business of each restaurant is booming.

Furthermore, the National Chef Cooking Competition is approaching soon, and the representatives of each store are busy practicing cooking skills, and have no time and energy to visit other stores to observe and learn.

Now that someone came suddenly, Fu Yu has been thinking about what dishes to show.

Looking at his expression, Zhao Meng knew that he must have been caught off guard, so he helped out with an idea: "Jinpeng Fish Restaurant has a few special dishes that you must never cook. Their restaurant's pot-wrapped fish has been a signature for more than 20 years. Fish balls Soup is not good either, I have tasted it before, the taste of that soup is really eye-catching, the fish balls are all made fresh, a soup that is obviously very light, but it tastes very delicious!"

Zhao Meng thought for a while, and continued: "There is also braised fish roe, which is very distinctive and can be called a must. Like these few dishes, outsiders should not try to surpass them."

Fu Yu nodded: "Okay, I see."

Since it is the specialty dish of Jinpeng Fish Meat Restaurant, it must not be blocked and charged upwards.

Fu Yu was thinking that Jiangyu would be off the market soon, and he had cooked all those very distinctive dishes during the previous exchanges and studies.

Right now, it's best to cook two special dishes that are in season. On the one hand, I am better at it, and on the other hand, it can also make others look fresh.

After all, Maxima itself is also a century-old store, and there are still a lot of special dishes. If you take out any one, it is worth learning and communicating with outsiders.

A group of people went to the back kitchen, and the others had already heard the news.

The chef is not here, it is all up to Sun Qingning and Zhang Jiaxin to make arrangements.

This time was originally a rare time for everyone in the back kitchen to be free, but now that an outsider came, even if they pretended, they had to pretend.

When Xie Jing and the others were ushered to the back kitchen, they saw that everyone was busy with their duties.

The small workers prepared the dishes, while Sun Qingning, Zhang Jiaxin and others were busy with cooking oil.

All the work can be seen at a glance, in order.

Although Xie Jing also runs a restaurant, his shop is small and there are few employees. He suddenly came to the back kitchen of Maxima, and seeing the spacious and tidy working environment, he was very moved!

After all, it is a century-old store, but it is different.

Xie Jing still has a good understanding of the local restaurants in Bei'an. Although it is impossible to know everyone in each restaurant, she has heard of several well-known chefs and chefs, and some have dealt with them. Even made friends.

Xie Jing still attaches great importance to this visit to Maxima for learning and communication. He is not familiar with the other people in the back kitchen, but he happened to have a mutual friend with chef Yao Shi.

A few years ago, we met for dinner.

At the dinner table, Yao Shi accidentally mentioned this year's National Chef Cooking Competition, saying that Maxima had appointed Fu Yu to participate.

Xie Jing's friend is obviously closer to Yao Shi, and knows more about this aspect.

Hearing Yao Shi mention Fu Yu, his eyes lit up immediately, and he inquired with great interest: "I heard that Chef Fu's medicinal food is very popular now, and it's difficult to customize it?"

Yao Shi didn't hide this matter, after all, he usually needs the help of relatives and friends to promote it.

As for the medicated diet master Fu Yu, not many people know about it, the main reason is that Yao Shi cares about Dong Juntian.

Now that he hasn't completely let go of Maxima's affairs, he abducts Fu Yu to the music restaurant to help make medicinal meals, and it's really not good to hear the news.

Moreover, many people in the circle knew about the old relationship between Yao Shi and Dong's family. If such a thing was passed on, the influence would not be very good.

However, like some close friends, Yao Shi has always told the truth when asked by others, and those who have a good relationship with him naturally stand on his side, and most of them are mentioned with admiration.

Xie Jing also heard Yao Shi talk about Fu Yu at that time, and she had a deep impression of this chef who had never met before.

Years later, Jinpeng Fish Restaurant was invited to organize a study group, but because of the busy business in the store, it has not been able to spare time for exchange and study.

Later, I heard acquaintances from other groups talking about going to the kitchen of Maxima to observe cooking, which benefited a lot. After inquiring again, the chef in charge was Fu Yu, and Xie Jing immediately moved his mind.

Xie Jing came here this time with great expectations, and wanted to have a good exchange with this outstanding young chef about his cooking techniques and cooking experience.

After entering the back kitchen, Gu Yunwu directly brought Xie Jing and others to Fu Yu's kitchen counter. Zhang Jinyu saw the person coming, and hurriedly called Xiaogong to take over the work of oiling, while he stood beside him, waiting for any time Follow Fu Yu's orders to work.

All the way from the front hall to the back kitchen, Fu Yu was thinking about which two dishes he should choose as the cooking show.

It was the first time for Xie Jing and others to come to the back kitchen of Maxima. Even though Gu Yunwu intended to bring them directly to Fu Yu's kitchen counter, he still gave a general introduction to the decoration and personnel of the back kitchen along the way.

At this time, a small worker cleaned a pot of wild vegetables and brought it to the kitchen counter.

This month, wild vegetables have just begun to appear on the market.

As the first taste in the spring fields, now is the most tender and delicious time.

It is said that there are no wild vegetables, no spring, and shepherd's purse is the freshest wild vegetable in Bei'an in early spring.

The pot that the worker cleaned was the shepherd's purse that the buyer had just bought.

At this time of year in Maxima, Baian will launch Spanish mackerel and shepherd's purse dumplings.

However, shepherd's purse is sold in the market, and it costs only a few yuan per catty to buy it in piles, but if the shepherd's purse is picked well, it will cost more than ten yuan per catty.

The amount used in the back kitchen is relatively large, so the purchase has always been directly bought in piles, and then the small workers are responsible for picking and washing.

This is a labor-intensive job. When Fu Yu used to be a small worker, he buried his head in picking for a month, and he never had a chance to raise his head since he sat down.

Shepherd's purse wants to be picked clean, just like this one pot, it doesn't take an hour, it can't be finished at all.

Even if no one from the study group came over today, the little workers in charge of picking vegetables couldn't rest, or else they wouldn't be able to supply the amount of cooking required by the back kitchen.

Fu Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the freshly washed shepherd's purse!

He knows what to cook for presentation.

There are many special dishes cooked with wild vegetables and seafood in Qianlima, which are not only delicious, but also very creative.

Several dishes are absolute specialties in the store.

Although this kind of culinary art show is to learn from each other, it also needs to be considered in the selection of special dishes.

After all, those who come to Houchu restaurant are all colleagues, and some cooking methods need to be kept secret and cannot be exposed.

The dishes that can be displayed must not only take into account the particularity of cooking techniques, but also take into account that outsiders will not learn their own cooking secrets during the entire cooking process.

In fact, the most famous cooking dish of wild vegetables and seafood in Maxima is shepherd's purse and clam meatballs.

Shepherd's purse is on the market, just when the clams are about to be fat. The clams are peeled off and added with shepherd's purse and pork belly, wrapped into shepherd's purse balls and boiled soup, with pepper and coriander powder, the taste is fresh and fragrant.

The order volume in the store is very large, and it is very popular with customers.

But in terms of cooking methods, there are some secret operations that cannot be shown in front of outsiders, so no matter how unique this dish is, no matter how valuable it is to learn and communicate, it cannot be used.

After careful consideration, Fu Yu quickly selected three dishes as the content of the cooking learning exchange.

He made the list and handed it to Xie Jing: "Chef Xie, this is the display dish I prepared today, can you take a look?"

Xie Jing hurriedly took the list, and upon seeing it, she immediately felt cordial.

Although Fu Yu was handsome and well mannered, but his handwriting was really not that good.

When I was studying in the past, I was often referred to by the teacher as "the old cockroach crawled out". Now, except for the occasional preparation menu, I just write directly on the palm of my hand, and I don't even read the words.

It is not easy to barely read what is written.

Those who are chefs usually start learning when they are teenagers. The general culture courses are not good, and good handwriting is even rarer.

Xie Jing saw Fu Yu before, and only thought that he was good-looking, good at cooking, and very versatile.

Now that he finally saw that the other party had something wrong with him, he felt a lot more at ease, and even the smile on his face became a bit more real.

After taking a closer look at the dishes on the list, Xie Jing's eyes lit up.

Fried clams with noodles?

Chinese toon mixed with yellow croaker?

Seafood and dandelion vegetable lump soup?

For these three dishes, you can roughly guess the specific cooking method just by looking at the name of the dish.

What surprised Xie Jing was, can this wild vegetable be used in cooking like this?

This month is indeed the time when the wild vegetables in the fields are just beginning to be picked, but wild vegetables are usually served cold, or dipped in sauce after blanching.

Xie Jing himself has never cooked dishes with wild vegetables and seafood.

In my impression, there are a few dishes made of wild vegetables and seafood in Bei'an, but they are all cooked in white dishes such as dumplings and steamed buns.

Suddenly seeing the recipes listed by Fu Yu, Xie Jing immediately became interested, wanting to see how the three special dishes of Qianlima are cooked.

Xie Jing smiled and said, "Okay! I have eaten at Chollima before, but I have never ordered these three dishes. They look pretty good. I will have to observe and study them later."

Fu Yu nodded: "These three dishes are only available in this month of the year. They will be cooked in a while, and everyone can have a taste."

"The wild vegetables in this season are the first harvest, and they are still very fresh!"

Xie Jing laughed immediately after hearing the words: "That's right!"

The two of them chatted for a while, Zhao Meng stood aside, and couldn't help reaching out to take Fu Yulie's menu at this moment.

Looking at it, I suddenly had an idea in my heart, and secretly praised, this dish is really well chosen!
