Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 625 Becoming a VIP (seeking a monthly pass)

When the other party said this, Chen Nian became a little nervous. Originally, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect the other party to directly challenge him.

If he had just come out for fun, Chen Nian might have taken over, but this time he was filming a show.

Although Chen Nian knew that it would be better to use yellow peaches, after all, the taste is hard to say, what if the other party does not admit it?
At that time, I don't know if I will get into trouble if I get entangled.

For a moment, he suddenly regretted it.

But at this moment, the director's assistant who had been following them saw this scene and came over to ask about the situation.

When Chen Nian explained the situation, the director's assistant not only didn't show any worry, but was a little excited.

This is an excellent program material, and they are not afraid of causing any trouble when they come out.

After all, they have reported that after the shooting in a certain place, the rent payment was not paid in place.

Not only will conflicts like this not cause any trouble, but if they are handled well, they might become a big breakout point.

He even thought that when the show airs, it might be able to use this incident to buy a hot search.

No, this is more than a hot search?

First of all, the aging pointed out that Michelin's three-star approach is not perfect.

There is also a point in the competition between the two.

In the end, if Chen Nian loses in this competition, it can be a hot search for Chen Nian's black material. If Chen Nian wins and convinces the opponent, this will add a hot spot.

Say less than three hot searches.

After all, this kind of hot search is much more topical than the hot search that Yang Xue proposed in the program to let Zhang Yixing be eliminated earlier, all the staff in the Chinese kitchen communicated with foreigners in English, and Qin Xiaoqing got up to get angry.
"Promise him, after all, this is a rare opportunity, but do you have confidence, Master Chen?" the assistant asked encouragingly.

"Yes, yes..." Chen Nian nodded.

"No problem, just agree to it. Don't worry, the rest of the program team will handle it properly."

Hearing what the assistant said, Chen Nian was dubious, and then turned his head to look at the young chef inside: "No problem, I accept your challenge."

And what the young chef was waiting for was Chen Nian's words. Although he was a little impatient with the communication between the two just now, he is the son of the owner of the restaurant and has inherited all his father's craftsmanship. Very confident in his craftsmanship.

"Okay, then I hope you can keep your promise, and I will do it seriously. If you make it according to your method, the taste will be better, then you will be our honored guest, but if you can't do it..." The other party said Then he looked at Chen Nian again.

"Then I apologize to you."

"Okay, and not only that, you are not allowed to come here in the future."

After hearing this, Chen Nian translated it again, and the assistant nodded, indicating that Chen Nian could agree.

"no problem."

Afterwards, the other party began to greet people and prepare to make it. Although it is meal time, there will never be too many people in such a restaurant. It is just a dish, and there will be no delay. Besides, he is not the only one here. A cook is here.

But at this moment, the assistant suddenly asked in English: "Hello, can we record this process with a video camera?"

"can."

When the assistant heard this, he immediately called another photographer to take pictures.

When Chen Nian ran over, a photographer followed and took pictures of the entire conversation.

It's just that if you have two cameras, you will be more careful in shooting.

Yang Xue, Qin Xiaoqing and Huo Fuyun, who were waiting there soon, also came over to ask what happened after they noticed the strange situation here.

Chen Nian told the ins and outs of the whole thing again, and everyone couldn't help but feel worried after hearing this. After all, they had just talked about exchanging their gifts for money.

But the director's assistant whispered to them from the side, it's okay.

Afterwards, the young chef started cooking inside.

The overall approach is not much different from the previous one, that is, the processed orange juice to be dripped is replaced with yellow peaches.

"What should I do with the yellow peaches?"

"There is no need to deal with it, just use the white wine just now to make the sauce, just like the sea bass, sprinkle the sauce and ingredients on it." Chen Nian said.

Everyone dared not speak at the side, while Huo Fuyun frowned at the side, thinking about the comparison between the two after replacing the orange juice with yellow peaches.

But sometimes being a chef is not something you can just imagine, you have to practice it yourself.

So after thinking for a long time, he didn't figure out which one was better to use.

In this way, it took a total of more than ten minutes. Everyone was waiting here for the young chef in the kitchen, talking to Chen Nian from time to time, asking about the specific production steps. Chen Nian calmly told himself The well-known steps are mentioned, including sauce preparation, heat and so on.

Because he found that the opposite party deliberately asked questions about the cooking time and seasoning ratio when making it.

It's a pity that these can't be tested at all.

Just doing this, the dish was almost ready, Huang Dayan and Wang Shuaikai also came over sweating profusely carrying gift boxes.

As a result, when I came over to see, everyone was not waiting, but gathered in front of the kitchen window and didn't know what they were doing.

As a result, he leaned over to ask, and after understanding the situation, he immediately wanted to show a look of blame.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, he is the manager of the store, and the two of them have worked so hard to go back to get things. If they come here and they don't want to change them, wouldn't they run in vain?
And when Chen Nian saw Huang Da'an's face, he couldn't help but sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, it's not that the stars are easy to get along with, but that they haven't provoked each other.

So I had no choice but to give in and apologize, but Chen Nian felt that he was really reckless in this matter.

Huang Dayan didn't say anything else, just sighed, and finally comforted Chen Nian a few words, saying that if there is any matter in the future, we can discuss it, and this matter is over.

But Chen Nian knew that if he lost, Huang Dayan would probably tell the matter later and blame himself.

People are like that.

In this way, the more and more people are waiting here, the more anxious they are, the more anxious they are...

Until the opponent is completely ready and the plate is set.

"I think we still have a certain chance of winning. I think this arrangement is also quite beautiful."

Yang Xue was talking on the side, and then asked Huo Fuyun beside her: "Master Huo, what do you think?"

"I think it's [-]-[-]."

Huo Fuyun gave a more pertinent evaluation.

"I'm done, I need another taste next time."

The young chef in the shop said something that put everyone's hearts into their throats. Chen Nian was also a little worried, but he was mainly worried that the other party would play tricks.

Either he has gotten used to the previous taste, or the chef himself is not too fond of yellow peaches.

Then he took the knife and fork to start tasting.

First, he cut a piece of sea bass and tasted it. Although it looked similar on the surface, it was actually a little different from what Chen Nian said and the method he used before.

Just now, he wanted to follow his own way to make the whole process, only changing the ingredients to a yellow peach, but when he started to make it, he asked Chen Nian to tell him how to do it on a whim.

As a result, after eating this mouthful of fried sea bass, he frowned.

After savoring it carefully, he cut another piece of sea bass and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Huang Da'an couldn't help but thump in his heart, and he was already thinking about how to communicate with the manager of the store later, after all, this was an exchange agreed before.

After eating three mouthfuls of sea bass in a row, the young chef looked at the yellow peach beside him, cut it off and took a bite together.

Then came the second and third bites, until the piece of yellow peach was completely eaten.

After eating, he looked at Chen Nian with a complicated expression.

"How about it?"

Chen Nian asked.

The young chef didn't know what to say for a moment. In his feeling, eating like this was indeed more delicious than cooking before.

The orange juice poured on top just provided a sweet and sour taste, and it could relieve the greasy, but after changing to yellow peach, the fruity taste of the yellow peach can also relieve the greasy, and it is paired with the sauce made of white grapes Finally, it adds a refreshing taste.

"Wait a moment." The young chef didn't answer directly, but turned and left directly.

This made everyone look at each other in blank dismay.

"What does he mean?" Wang Shuaikai asked.

"I don't know, does this mean we won or lost?" Yang Xue also spread her hands, expressing that she didn't quite understand these things.

Qin Xiaoqing, who was on the side, was a little afraid that the world would not be chaotic and said: "Could it be that he asked the security to throw us out?"

At this time, Huang Dayan began to comfort everyone: "Not necessarily, we will wait and see, even if Master Chen is wrong, it doesn't matter, at worst, we will look for another house later."

Huo Fuyun glanced at Qin Xiaoqing and Huang Dayan, but didn't say anything. After all, he could hear that there was indeed some other meaning in the words of these two people.

He just put his arms around Chen Nian's shoulders, signaling Chen Nian not to worry.

Chen Nian didn't think there was anything wrong, at least he could feel that although the young chef in front of him was of a good standard, if it was said to be top-notch, it was still not considered top-notch.

When it was aged on the Platinum Star, which one was not a top chef, and which one of the kitchens on the entire third floor was placed outside probably had the standard of Michelin stars.

Especially Geo, that is the top of the top.

So he also gave Master Huo a relaxed expression.

"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to do research on Western food?"

"I know some, but I don't cook much, but I did come into contact with some older recipes for this dish. The sea bass fillet with morel mushrooms in this restaurant is more like a lost part of the tradition, and then It was changed by their descendants to make it what it is now."

"I see."

While the few of them were chatting, the young chef also returned here, and beside him was a middle-aged man about 50 years old, with a calm demeanor, and his brows were very similar to the young chef just now .

"Father, come and try this dish. This dish was originally a signature dish in our restaurant, but now I have replaced the orange juice with yellow peaches, and I have slightly adjusted the ingredients in it."

After listening, the middle-aged chef looked at the people in front of the kitchen, and at the dish.

He didn't ask anything, and took a sip first. The order was basically the same as that of the young chef just now.

After eating, he also pondered for a long time: "Why did you do this?"

The young chef looked at Chen Nian with a complicated expression: "It was the guest who came to the window and looked at it for a while, and told me to make it with yellow peaches, so I made a bet with him and made it again. Let me do it. If this method is not as delicious as the one in our restaurant, then he needs to apologize to me, and these people will never be allowed to come to our restaurant. If it is better to add yellow peaches, then I Apologize to him and treat him as our guest of honor."

The middle-aged chef nodded, then looked at Chen Nian.

Under the eyes of everyone, he suddenly bowed slightly and nodded: "My guest, this method of yours is indeed more delicious than the method of pairing orange juice in our store. My son offended you before, and I am here to apologize to you .”

As soon as these words came out, everyone on Chen Nian's side first showed a look of astonishment on their faces, and then they clenched their fists excitedly!
Then the young chef followed his father's example and apologized to Chen Nian.

"It doesn't matter, we are all chefs, and the purpose is to cook better dishes for the guests, but you probably didn't say that on purpose when you saw us holding the camera?" Chen Nian was polite to the other party first, and then He suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked curiously.

"No." The middle-aged chef shook his head, "My name is Abraham Saratoza, and the one next to me is my son Casapa Saratoza. This restaurant in our family was passed down from our ancestors. At first we were just a The small shop didn't grow until my father's generation. My childhood dream was not to become a chef, so I didn't take over the family restaurant until I was 30 years old.

But at that time, my father’s health was not very good, and there were some problems with his brain. Although many dishes were recorded, some dishes were lost, including this one. I made it according to some memories at the time , but I didn't realize I remembered it wrong until I ate this version.

Because I ate this dish when I was a child, but after decades, I only remember that this dish seems to use some kind of fruit, but I forgot what kind of fruit to use, so I followed some of the current practices and used The separator processes the orange juice as a condiment.

But I just remembered now that what I ate decades ago were actually yellow peaches. "

He said it in English. After all, it is more convenient to communicate with foreigners in English, so everyone understood what he said.

Only Chen Nian was shocked when he heard this, the surname Saratosa was familiar to Chen Nian and he couldn't be more familiar with it!
He doesn't know many Italians, and there is only one person who can be named by his full name, that is Tonio Saratoza, so is there any connection between this store or the father and son and Tonio...

Chen Nian suddenly thought of a possibility, but considering that there were other people around him at the moment, Chen Nian didn't say it clearly.

But after this incident, all of them suddenly became honored guests here.

After knowing the purpose of their trip, Abraham immediately enthusiastically expressed that not only could he buy all their gift boxes, but he was also willing to do something for the friendly cultural exchanges between the two countries.

For example, let them take some needed ingredients from the back kitchen.

"Excuse me, do I need to spend money? We only have 200 euros from you now..." Upon hearing the news, Huang Daan couldn't sit still immediately, and asked cautiously.

"Of course I don't need my Chinese friends."

While talking, he called the lobby manager to confirm with everyone what ingredients he needed.

Everyone was excited like something.

I thought it would be very difficult to shoot this episode of the show, but I didn't expect it to be so bright in the end!
"I don't think we can open our mouths like a lion, or we can take what we need, but we still look for cheap ones."

"Agree!"

"It really should be like this. Although our little master Chen managed to win it over, we can't go too far." Huo Fuyun nodded.

In the end, this task also fell on Huo Fuyun's head.

Even if the lion didn't open his mouth, they still asked for a lot of things in the end. They ordered one type of chicken, three or four types of fish, and all kinds of seasonings as if they were purchased.

They were excitedly asking for ingredients, but Chen Nian was called to the side.

People didn't care.

And Chen Nian was indeed chatting with the other party, such as where did Chen Nian know about this practice, and whether Chen Nian knew of other ways that could be improved, but Chen Nian glanced at the camera next to him calmly, He only said that he knew about it by accident, but while talking, Chen Nian blinked at the other party when he turned his back to the camera.

Tell the other party with mouth shape, and say that we will talk about this aspect later.

After learning that Chen Nian was inconvenient to talk about some things now, Abraham left the scene to his son. After all, his son Kazapa and Chen Nian were of the same age, and there were topics to talk about.

Kazapa is also very curious about the young man in front of him now. After all, the other party conquered himself and his father by virtue of his craftsmanship.

From now on, as long as the old man doesn't add pineapple and tomato sauce to his pizza in front of them, then they are best friends!

The two were chatting enthusiastically here.

On the other side, after ordering the ingredients, they looked over and saw the two chatting, their hands still gesticulating in the air.

"Look at the two of them chatting so funny, why do they make gestures while talking?"

"It's true, I didn't pay attention before."

"Would it be like this when Chen Nian spoke before?"

Everyone said that Huo Fuyun thought about the performance of Chen Nian and himself along the way: "It seems not. I came here with him. Normally, our little Master Chen is very stable."

Then they came to Chen Nian's side, and Wang Shuaikai grabbed Chen Nian's hand like a prank.

As a result, Chen Nian suddenly got stuck while chatting.

"what happened?"

Chen Nian turned around and asked.

"It's nothing, Master Chen, you continue to chat."

As a result, Kazapa continued to talk to Chen Nian on the opposite side, and Chen Nian opened his mouth, and finally Aba Aba couldn't say a word...

"You control my hand like this, it's hard for me to communicate with each other."

Seeing this, Yang Xue asked with a smile, "Can't you speak Italian without making gestures?"

Chen Nian pondered for two seconds: "Well, it seems to be like this."

Then Wang Shuaikai let go of Chen Nian's hand. After Chen Nian resumed his free activities, he said goodbye with his hands and said that he would stay in Italy for about a month and welcome them later. If you come to the restaurant where you are waiting for others, of course you need to spend money to consume, after all, this is their task.

"But I may come to Italy to play again in the future, and I will visit you again then."

"No problem, Italy welcomes you, my friend."

Speaking of which, Kasapa came forward to hug Chen Nian, and gave a very affectionate face-to-face ceremony.

As a result, after hugging Chen Nian, Huang Daan also wanted to take the initiative to hug him.

In front of the camera, and these people are old companions, although Kasapa was a little unhappy, he finally hugged each other.

In the hugs with other people afterwards, Kasapa did not perform a face-to-face ceremony.

In the end, everyone thanked and said goodbye, and directly took out all the gifts brought out this time and gave them to Kasapa.

In this way, everyone returned with a full load and walked back.

"Oh, I suddenly forgot that we could actually have a meal with them just now. With the enthusiasm of Master Chen chatting with them, I feel that even if we had a meal there, they would definitely not accept it." Money." Qin Xiaoqing said suddenly.

Fortunately, Huang Dayan is still well-versed in the world: "Forget it, it's not necessary, we already have enough ingredients, if we eat at their place for free, then they come to our place again, how can we have the nerve to talk to them?" What about collecting money?"

"It seems to be true."

"Sure enough, our store manager Huang has a high EQ!"

Qin Xiaoqing immediately realized this and said quickly.

"That's right, we need Store Manager Huang!" Yang Xue also echoed, and Chen Nian became the center of their topic on the way back and after returning.

"Master Chen, how long have you learned Italian? Why do you see that you have no trouble talking to them?"

Chen Nian thought about it, if he said he practiced for two and a half years, it might not be very good when his former classmates saw it.

In the end, he still licked his face and said: "After receiving the announcement from the program group, I thought it might be more convenient to learn Italian here, so I started to learn it, about half a month ago."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be in awe, it took more than half a month to learn this level...

This is genius!
