Siheyuan: leading the elder brother to live a well-off life

Kitchen on the third floor:
Du Qian still sat on the chair with Erlang legs crossed, smiling very happily.

It won't be long before he can get Yi Jiangnan's recipes, and with his chef team, he will definitely be able to crush all the Sichuan restaurants in the capital and become the real number one in the capital.

"Zhang Long, don't show mercy. If you defeat Yi Jiangnan this time, I will give you a bonus of 200 yuan!"

"Thank you boss, just watch it!"

Zhang Long rolled up his sleeves and walked to the stove, checked the ingredients he needed, and then nodded: "Yi Jiangnan is Yi Jiangnan after all, and the seasoning reserve like this is several grades better than that of ordinary Sichuan restaurants, but Compared with our Jubin building, it is still a bit worse!"

Before the competition even started, Zhang Long made a fuss about it.

Du Qian was obviously very satisfied with Zhang Long's words, and the smile on his face grew stronger.

Wang Jianhua also took a look at Zhang Long. He had no choice but to reach middle age. His body was a little puffy, and his hair had almost fallen out. He had a little Mediterranean hairstyle. What is worth mentioning is his calloused right hand. , it can be seen that this hand has kung fu.

Wang Jianhua went to the cutting and serving room, took out a potato from the water basin, and began to shred the potato.

With the very rhythmic sound of the knife rising and falling, potato shreds of uniform thickness and length appeared on the chopping board.

Familiar muscle memory poured into the brain, and the corners of Wang Jianhua's mouth rose slightly: It seems that the sequelae do not affect the cutting of vegetables. If so, then it's my turn to perform!

Wang Jianhua, who had just walked out of the cutting room, was stopped by the energetic Zhang Long, who said, "Boy, I will make it look ugly for you to lose!"

Zhang Long raised his middle finger to Wang Jianhua.He started learning art at the age of 13, and has been cooking Sichuan cuisine for 26 years. He has no rivals in the Tianjin circle. He came to Beijing because of a friend's invitation, otherwise he would not have come here.

Wang Jianhua looked at the energetic middle-aged uncle in front of him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, can your m-type hair loss be cured? If it develops at this level, it will be gone in two years!"

puff~

Lin Qiuchen on the side was amused by Wang Jianhua's nonsensical words.

Lin Qiuchen said: "Master, I heard that your craftsmanship is not inferior to that of Master Qin, let me see it well today!"

Wang Jianhua nodded: "I promise to open your eyes!"

"The dish I brought out today is a classic Sichuan cuisine - boiled cabbage, please report the name of the dish!"

Zhang Longdao: "I make the simplest mapo tofu, let you lose your heart!"

Qin Changchuan said: "Okay, now the two sides are starting to prepare, and the competition between the two sides will officially start at 06:30 in the evening!"

After the competition started, Qin Changchuan came to Zhang Long's side and watched him make it on the spot, so as to prevent this kid from playing tricks and playing tricks.

Du Qian was also staring at Wang Jianhua, carefully observing his every move.

This dish of boiled cabbage is not easy to cook. Although its main ingredients are extremely simple, the soup is extraordinarily luxurious; after the boiled cabbage is cooked, it is fresh and elegant, with a strong fragrance. greasy.

This dish is a great test for the chef.

The kitchen started to get busy.

Zhang Long has already prepared the ingredients needed for cooking, and Wang Jianhua is cooking the soup needed for boiling cabbage on a low fire.

The two chefs competed in the cuisine, and the evaluations were naturally made by the diners who came to eat, so the two had to cook 26 dishes, and each table will be given a copy...

At six o'clock in the evening, Yi Jiangnan was full of seats, and the downstairs and upstairs tables were full. I learned that today I had a culinary competition with the chef of Jubin Building, and no one came to order. Taste the level of the two chefs.

Seeing that the preparation was almost done, Qin Changchuan began to arrange for the dishes to be served.

Qin Changchuan came to the lobby on the first floor, stood where the storyteller usually stands, and introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's show is still from the Jubin Building. The cuisine of the Jubin Building is mapo tofu. This building produces The one I bought is boiled cabbage, I would like to ask everyone to give an evaluation today, and the winner will be determined!"

Boss Liu, who sells cloth, laughed loudly: "Master Qin, you should hurry up and serve the food, you have picked out all the gluttons of us people!"

Boss Wang, who sells wine, echoed: "That's right, we can order after tasting, we're all hungry!"

"Yes, yes, come on!"

"Master Qin, it's not your chef this time!"

"Yi Jiangnan has a new master?"

Qin Changchuan yelled upstairs: "Serve!"

The guys came down from the upstairs with the mapo tofu from Yanbin Building, and put a plate on each table.

As a veteran of Sichuan cuisine, Zhang Long must have some cooking skills. The color of the mapo tofu he made is just right, neither thick nor light. The embellishment of silk, this magical brush, is like a tiger's sky wings, the finishing touch!

The moment Mapo Tofu is on the table, the surrounding area is filled with the aroma of tofu and sauce.

"This mapo tofu is authentic!"

"This skill is not weaker than that of Master Qin!"

"I don't know anything, just try it!"

"Go go go!"

"..."

The mapo tofu on the table was swept away, and the person who was still unsatisfied subconsciously licked his lips. If there were not so many outsiders here, even the plate would have been licked clean.

"The second dish, boiled cabbage!"

One after another china bowls covered with children were brought to the table, and then the men came to the table with the soup jugs.

Gently lifted the lid, and there was a heart of cabbage inside.

As the soup was slowly poured, the cabbage heart slowly opened like a lotus flower. When the cabbage heart bloomed to a certain extent, nine goji berries spit out from the flower stamens and slowly floated on the soup.

The moment the soup mixed with the cabbage, a fragrance slowly spread to the surroundings. Although the decoration of the boiled cabbage is very simple, with only a few medlars, its beauty does not lie in the decoration.

The soup of boiled cabbage echoes with the soft light in Yijiangnan hall, presenting a piece of golden color, like a city full of golden armor, or like nine-day stars falling in a fairyland.

That cabbage has become a unique existence.

Sip it down and leave your mouth full of fragrance!

The taste of mapo tofu is completely diluted by the aroma of boiled cabbage. The taste buds from the previous dish have long since disappeared, and what is left is only the unique fragrance of boiled cabbage.

"Hmm, this soup..."

"This smell!"

"This is……"

"It's so familiar, it smells like my mother..."

A guest at one of the tables picked up the cabbage in the bowl with his chopsticks while the others were not paying attention, and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about the heat.

"Hmm~ fragrant!"

"good to eat!"

……

After a while, Du Qian and Qin Changchuan went downstairs side by side.

Du Qian said: "Everyone, which dish is the tastiest this time?"

"Boss Du!"

"Hello Boss Du!"

"Boss Du!"

Recalling that everyone in Jiangnan stood up and said hello.

Boss Liu said: "Boss Du, I think this mapo tofu has reached the highest level of Sichuan cuisine, no one can make it better than him!"

After hearing the comments, the corners of Du Qian's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes slowly drifted to Qin Changchuan, full of complacency.

"but!"

Du Qian was taken aback.

"But this boiled cabbage gives me the feeling that it surpasses the highest level of Sichuan cuisine!"

"Although it is a soup dish and it came later, it has some advantages. However, based on the experience I have gained from traveling all over the years and eating countless delicacies, this boiled cabbage is indeed much better than Mapo Tofu."

Boss Wang echoed: "Boss Du, you kicked the iron plate this time. I have eaten boiled cabbage before, but it is the first time I have eaten boiled cabbage that can overpower the aroma of mapo tofu. This time I can only eat boiled cabbage. Seek truth from facts!"

"I think mapo tofu is good!"

"Boiled cabbage is good!"

"Boiled cabbage is good!"

"Boiled cabbage is good!"

"Mapo Tofu!"

"Boiled cabbage!"

……

Nearly two-thirds of the guests in the hall supported boiled cabbage, and Du Qian's face changed a lot.This time they lost again, and they had no face to stay here anymore, they turned around and were about to leave.

Wang Jianhua came to Du Qian, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it!"

"what!"

"Medical expenses, what? Shouldn't you pay for beating someone?"

Du Qian's face changed: "A small wound will pay you 200 yuan? You are robbing!"

Wang Jianhua chuckled: "I would like to bet and admit defeat!"

Wang Jianhua casually picked up the chopsticks bucket on the table, and crushed it in front of Du Qian: "Do you choose to lose money, or should I knock you down and lose money?"

"You, you, you!" Du Qian stepped back again and again: "It's a disgrace to the gentleman!"

"Isn't it just 200 yuan? Here it is!" Du Qian took out twenty cards of Great Unity from his pocket and threw them to Wang Jianhua.

Wang Jianhua laughed and said, "That's true! Don't forget the other requirements. If you dissatisfy our brothers, we will kick you out!"

Du Qian stared at Wang Jianhua darkly: "Boy, what's your name?"

"Wang Jianhua! Construction's Jian, China's Hua, please remember me!"

"Jin Bo, the medical expenses for you!" Wang Jianhua stuffed all the money into Jin Bo's hands.

"This..." Jin Bo was at a loss with the 200 yuan, and subconsciously looked at Qin Changchuan.

Qin Changchuan said: "Jin Bo, you can take what is given to you. Boss Du's family has a big business, and the 200 yuan is not bad!"

"That's right, Boss Du!"

Du Qian gave Qin Changchuan a cold look, and said word by word: "I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, I remember you all!"

"Walk……"
