Gourmet conquest starts from the entertainment industry

"I'm going to teach this last apprentice, so Xiaoyi will be my closed disciple. If there are others who want to learn, let Yingying and the others teach them."

In recent years, several apprentices have also accepted apprentices one after another. Most of them are talented young people from the training base. Except for Jiang Yingying, the others received a lot. Jiang Yingying has only accepted two apprentices these years because of her high requirements.

"Huh? How do you admit that you are too old? Can't teach apprentices anymore?"

Zhao Jinmai knew that Zhou Mochen had already made plans, and he rarely made a move in the past two years. Only when an old friend comes and tells him in advance, he will do it. Usually accompanied by children. Cooking at home or something. Of course, the Imperial Capital State Banquet Hotel still invites Zhou Mochen every year, but only when there are important foreign guests.

"Don't you know if I'm old or not?"

Zhou Mochen raised his eyebrows. The latter spat immediately, not daring to provoke anymore. Otherwise, it would be her who will be unlucky at night.

"Is my husband going to formally accept apprentices? I still need to inform the outside world. This will save others from worrying about it."

There are many people who have been thinking about Zhou Mochen's cooking skills for so many years. However, Zhou Mochen has high requirements for his apprentices, which cannot be met by ordinary people. Although they rejected wave after wave, they still enjoyed it.

"Hmm. We're going to hold an apprentice gathering. Our son is so gifted. I thought he could completely inherit my mantle. This time it will be a big one. Haven't you tried the full version of the Man Han Quan Banquet? Letting you taste it this time can be regarded as my explanation to the food industry."

Zhou Mochen stroked Zhao Jinmai's beautiful hair, and he had already made up his mind. The previous programs have never recorded a complete Man-Han banquet.

"Really? Is it such a big game?"

Zhao Jinmai was very surprised, because she knew about how many dishes there were in the Man-Han banquet and how many people needed to taste it. How many people are needed to help. A few people will definitely not work.

"Well. A lot of things need to be prepared in advance. Ask the teacher in advance to see if you can get some taboo ingredients this time. Purchase from abroad. Otherwise, the Manchu Banquet will not be complete."

Zhou Mochen really wanted to show the full version of the Man Han Banquet in this world. But there are some dishes without ingredients. It can only be imported from abroad, but it needs to communicate with the above.

"Husband, let's go and do it. But you are going to be on the hot search again."

Zhao Jinmai leaned gently in Zhou Mochen's arms. Suddenly thought of something fun.

"Just go up. Didn't you say that the hot search belongs to our family? Let's do it a week after the National Day. I'm afraid that people from the imperial capital will come to me. It just happens to be more than a month away."

Zhou Mochen calculated the time, more than a month is enough to prepare ingredients and make some special things.

"Anyway, I don't have a job these days. Who are you going to invite?"

"People who are familiar with me. If you have a good relationship, invite some of those old guests. I don't need too many in the culinary art world, and the teacher will definitely come. Ouyang Shaoqi is not bad, let him take a look. Anyway There are more dishes. There are many people and it is lively. Let Mr. He preside over the apprentice meeting."

Zhou Mochen counted the people he invited. Quite a lot. These are the little things.

"Hello, teacher. I want to ask you a favor."

In the spirit of preparing things early and reassuring earlier, Zhou Mochen called Qin Zongsheng after listing the taboo ingredients.

"Hehe, it's rare. The little monkey sometimes asks for my help."

Qin Zongsheng was obviously very happy, and made fun of Zhou Mochen.

"You belong to my teacher. You can't do without your help. This matter is a bit difficult. I can only find you. That's it."

Zhou Mochen couldn't laugh or cry for this old urchin who was already in his early 80s. These years of health preservation made Qin Zongsheng not feel how old he was. On the contrary, it is very spiritual. Follow Zhou Mochen's words. Qin Zongsheng also agrees very much. I was very surprised that my students held a special apprenticeship meeting in his lifetime.

"Little monkey, you can prepare boldly with confidence. Send me back the list you made. I will find the best one for you. This time we are not buying or selling, but showing. I will be responsible for other convenient discussions. Prepare well. your."

Qin Zongsheng was very relieved that there hadn't been any major events in the culinary art world these years, and Zhou Mochen's subtle changes made the atmosphere much better. Many chefs have learned to introvert. If you don't work hard, you will be surpassed by the younger generation. That would be embarrassing.

"Thank you, teacher. You can bring your old friends with you when the time comes. The number of people needs to be more this time, otherwise the food will be wasted if you can't finish it."

Zhou Mochen made a little joke. After he hung up the phone, he called a few apprentices again. He can't do it all by himself, he needs help. Make time for them. That means getting ready for a vacation.

"Really, Master, that's great. This time I can see you show your power again."

Jiang Yingying was very happy on the other end of the phone.

"You girl, you are a chef yourself, don't put a hat on me."

"Master! I'm already in my 30s, and I'm still a girl. Besides, as long as you are here, the reputation of God of Cooking is just for display."

Jiang Yingying smiled. He was used to the way of getting along with Zhou Mochen, and there was not much difference in age between the two of them.

"As long as I'm still your master, you're just a little girl in my eyes. That's fine, I won't tell you anymore. I have to inform your younger brothers and sisters."

"Understood Master. I will tell Jinchuan and Wenwen here. It will definitely not delay your business."

Zhou Mochen settled the matter with a few phone calls. And he also made a guest list. This column is long. There are many. The first ones to inform are friends in the entertainment industry who don't have much time. They need to spare time, if not, they will definitely be passed.

It was beyond Zhou Mochen's expectation. Every notification says there is time. Will definitely be there. It made him wonder, are people so idle now? Among the diners, only 10 people were notified. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the number of people who know the news is so large. Less than a day. The news was announced.

"Have you heard? God Zhou is going to hold a gathering of closed disciples next month. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that God Zhou will show the full version of the Manchu Banquet at the meeting. I heard that there are hundreds of dishes."

"Really? Hundreds of dishes? How long will it take to finish eating? It's too wasteful. Strong protest, unless I go. I can pack it and go home."

"I want to fart, I have already invited some guests. There are many entrepreneurs, celebrities, and chefs in the culinary world."

"Fuck, we can't participate again. It's too greedy. I really want to see it."

"There will definitely be a video shoot at that time. Calm down."

"Well, I will send you photos at that time, don't worry. The little girl is not talented, and she is among Zhou Shen's invitations."

"Damn, where is the local tyrant. Let's break the news. I want to hear it."

"What kind of rich man? I'm just a commoner in Sioux City. I'm an old guest of Zhou God, the earliest batch. Zhou God selected 10 people to participate. I'm one of them."

"Damn, I'm so envious. I want to go too. 55555. How about buying a seat for 500,000 for my sister? Let me."

"What are you thinking about? Can God's banquet be measured by money? And as long as you buy it, it will be over. You don't know the character of God Zhou."

In addition to netizens, there are many celebrities who want to catch up on the popularity. Who makes Zhou Mochen's popularity surpass the stars? They all inquired about the news with Zhao Jinmai.

"Look, today is the fifth call. They all want to participate. Are there any places?"

Zhao Jinmai looked at Zhou Mochen who was enjoying himself. Can't wait to bite him.

"Other people asked, there must be none. My daughter-in-law asked if there must be, and if there is no one, there must be."

Zhou Mochen has reserved a lot for himself. It was prepared for Zhao Jinmai. He has predicted the development of things.

"That's about the same. Mua! Reward you tonight."

They are both old couples and old wives. Zhao Jinmai can't know Zhou Mochen's little thoughts. It is also the way the couple get along.

"I reluctantly accepted this. Can I choose clothes?"

Zhou Mochen immediately showed his fox tail.

"Hmph, I knew you were uneasy and kind."

Zhao Jinmai gave him a white look. Did not refuse.

Time passed day by day. The main ingredients are still from the star beads. Zhou Mochen will let the ecological park purchase the other star beads that are not available. The variety involved is astonishing.

There are generally at least 108 kinds of dishes on the Manchu Banquet, 54 southern dishes and 54 northern dishes, which are eaten in three days. The Man-Han Banquet dishes include salty and sweet, meat and vegetable dishes, with a wide range of ingredients, fine ingredients, and all-encompassing delicacies from mountains and seas.

The dishes of the Man-Han Banquet are exquisite, and the etiquette is exquisite, forming a unique and eye-catching style.

Before entering the table, two pairs of incense, tea and hand dishes are served. There are four fresh fruits, four dried fruits, four candied fruits and four candied fruits on the table. After entering the table, serve cold dishes first, then stir-fry vegetables, big dishes, and beets in turn.

The Man-Han Banquet is divided into six banquets, all named after the famous banquets of the Qing Palace. Gather many famous delicacies from Manchu and Han Dynasties, choose seasonal seafood, and search for rare and exotic animals. There are one hundred and ninety-six items of cold meat and hot food, one hundred and twenty-four items of snacks and tea, and three hundred and twenty items of delicacies.

And what Zhou Mochen prepared was the full version of the six banquets, with twenty people in one banquet. There are a total of 120 people in the six banquets.

The so-called treasures in the banquet, such as the nose, fish bones, sturgeon roe, Hericium erinaceus, bear paw, Hash toad, deer tail, sinew, preserved, whip, etc., leopard fetus and other rare raw materials are also allowed, but they are all from other countries. imported.

However, the earliest Man-Han banquet was an official dish in the south of the Yangtze River. It is recorded in related biographies.

The front and back temples on Shangmai Street are all big kitchens for six divisions and hundreds of officials to eat.

The first set, top five bowls of ten pieces - bird's nest chicken soup, sea cucumber stewed pork tendon, fresh razor radish soup, kelp pork belly soup, abalone stewed pearls, mussels and shrimp soup, shark's fin and crab soup, mushroom stew Chicken, potter's wheel hammer, stewed ham with fish maw, shark skin chicken soup, blood powder soup, first-grade soup rice bowl.

The fifth serving consists of 20 foreign dishes, 20 hot dishes, 20 side dishes, 10 dried fruits and 10 fresh fruits. The so-called Man Han Xi also.

In order to give Zhou Mochen enough preparation time. During the National Day, Zhou Mochen was not asked to help out at the state banquet.

And Bai Chenghuan's apprentices also gave the restaurant a holiday in advance, and now more people knew about Zhou Mochen's banquet. For a time, people's attention was unprecedentedly single-minded.

The few people who went back early went directly to the private restaurant. The pre-preparation of many dishes is prepared there.

The place where the banquet is held. Obviously, it was contracted by Murong Jingwen, so the fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields. On October 8th. Many bigwigs and celebrities rushed to Sioux City. Because the 9th is Zhou Mochen's fixed date.

"Master, wife. Slow down."

At this time, Zhou Mochen's family received the oldest guest, which was Zhou Mochen's master Chen Zhenguo. It is now 100 years old. Because of Tai Chi Kungfu and Zhou Mochen. The old man is living a very comfortable life now. When Zhou Mochen met him, he was over 80 years old. So much in the past. The bones of the body are still very tough.

"It's okay. My own body, I know it myself. I'm getting old, I'm getting old, taking in a little apprentice like you, let me live a few more years."

Chen Zhenguo's face had begun to age, and Zhou Mochen couldn't help it. He has elixir, fruit and so on. But the nature of man has not changed. The same goes for Zhou Mochen. So I am still an ordinary person, and there will always be a day when I grow old. And he knew it. If it wasn't for Zhou Mochen,... He left a few years ago. When I was young, I protected the big leader and suffered a lot of injuries.

"Master, you are in good health. You can't put a hat on me."

"Haha. You boy. You have to teach my little grandson well. Don't learn cooking from you and let your kung fu fall behind."

Chen Zhenguo's mental state is still very good. At the age of knowing the destiny, he also knows that his time is numbered. The most worrying thing is the inheritance on her body. If he hadn't been seriously injured when he was young, he could live to be 120 years old according to current standards.

"Don't worry, Master. You will be at ease. I will teach him well."

Zhou Mochen had asked Zhuzhu Chen Zhenguo's situation a long time ago, but she couldn't help it. Chen Zhenguo can't use the useful things in the Star Orb, it's not life-saving, it's life-saving. An ordinary person cannot bear the force of the medicine, and the greatest probability is that his veins will be broken and he will die. Exploding.

Because I don't worry about the outside environment. The old couple lived at Zhou Mochen's house. There are also Qin Zongsheng and his wife living together. Although he is younger than Chen Zhenguo, he is over 80 years old. Sometimes Zhou Mochen didn't dare to think about the day of parting, although it was a matter of time. He is not so calm about family affection.

Early the next morning. Zhou Mochen took his family to the venue. The apprenticeship ceremony officially started at 9 o'clock. He Jiong became the host of the ceremony. Although he is not young, he still has a demeanor. This kind of ceremony needs such a host.

As soon as he opened his mouth. The guests watching the ceremony also fell silent. Everyone has their own place. All Zhou Mochen's disciples and grandchildren wore uniform retro gowns, with a grain seedling pattern and an artistic Zhou character embroidered on the chest.

There are nearly 40 people in this group alone. Standing respectfully behind Zhou Mochen. The ceremony has officially begun.

He Jiong also asked for a favor, and Tanzhou's TV station recorded it live.

"Damn it, there are so many bosses, so many celebrities. It's amazing. As expected of me, God of Zhou. I just have the strength."

"Hey, I want to wear that kind of clothes too. It's so pretty. It's also self-cultivating. Didn't you say that the chefs are all fat and big ears? Why are Zhou God's apprentices and disciples so good-looking."

"What are you thinking? When God Zhou trained his apprentices, he mostly practiced kung fu. Even though they are chefs, their kung fu is not weak."

"Those girls in there can lay down a few guys. It's amazing. Hey, I'm so envious. It's a pity that I don't have this talent. I can't learn to cook."

"This is the inheritance. God Zhou has done a good job for the chef. Look at the development of the catering industry now, and we ordinary people have really benefited a lot."

"What do you mean by calculation? That's basically Zhou Shen's plan, okay? I remember that when I started the competition that year, I played against them. If you don't cut them, you can cut who."

When the bullet screen was full of discussions, Zhou Mochen also took out the family tree of Shimen, and under the witness of everyone, wrote down Zhou Yi's name. Behind it is the word "closed disciple". It can be regarded as telling the outside world that he will not accept apprentices again in the future.

In addition to Zhou Mochen, the top one also wrote Qin Zongsheng, the teacher, and his master Chef God. Many apprentices didn't understand it. Why write the word God of Cookery instead of a name. This is also the inheritance of Zhou Mochen's gratitude to the God of Cookery.

The ceremony lasted until 10 o'clock. Netizens also enjoyed watching it. Ask a teacher so many complicated procedures. Zhou Mochen started, and many waiters in retro costumes brought a lot of refreshments and refreshments. It's not really a feast either, it's just something before the meal.

After Zhou Mochen finished speaking, he went to the back kitchen with a group of apprentices. That is their battlefield.

"I'll go. There are so many kinds of preserves. Pastries. And the teacups they use are so exquisite."

"Tch, it's not like you haven't seen the video of Zhou Shen making the Longevity Banquet. What's more, it's a full version of the Manchu Banquet now. Of course it's different."

"So you can still play like this. It's so exquisite. I regret it. I regret that I didn't get drawn. The crayfish shop closed within two days after I visited, and Zhou Shen's restaurant opened."

"Stop posting barrage, Mr. He is starting to introduce."

"Quiet!"

Then I saw the host He Jiong began to introduce the tea drinks, preserves, and pastries that had been served according to the labels.

"This is the first tea drink for the Manchu-Han Banquet. The tea table tea talks about white jade milk tea, the beauty offers tea from Shifeng Longjing, the beauty offers tea from Lushan Mountain Yunwu, the beauty offers tea from Junshan Silver Needle, the beauty offers tea from boiled milk tea, and the beauty offers tea from Fujian Wu dragon."

Following the introduction, the waiter brought the tea to the guests one by one.

"Although I can't understand what it is. But it feels so powerful. It's very enjoyable to see the big brother's expression."

"I'm going, is this book finished yet? Seeing people drinking tea makes them hungry, no, I have to make a cup too, and share with you."

"Go away. Don't waste that word. Can your tea compare with other people's?"

"Why can't it. I bought it for tens of dollars in the supermarket, okay?"

In the video, the tea has already been distributed, and netizens can see that there are still some teas to be prepared. Really naughty. The main reason is that Liu Yifei and Jing Tian, ​​who are still infinitely charming, are exchanging tea in each other's hands.

"Come on! Four Xi Dried Fruits for the Fan Banquet, Tiger Skin Peanuts, Strange Flavored Flatbreads, Milky White Grapes, Snow Mountain Plum. Four Dried Fruits for Court Official Banquet, Honey Peanuts, Strange Flavored Cashew Nuts, Sticky Walnuts, and Apple Jelly. Longevity Banquet Dried Fruits Four Products, milk white jujube treasure, two-color soft candy, sugar fried flat, cocoa peach kernel."

"Come on! Four kinds of dried fruits of Qiansouyan, strange flavor walnuts, crystal fudge, spiced cashew nuts, sticky peanuts. Four kinds of dried fruits of Jiubaiyan, sesame Nantang, rock candied walnuts, spiced almonds, pineapple jelly. Four kinds of dried fruits of Seasonal Banquet, Milky white almonds, persimmon cream fudge, crispy fried cashew nuts, sugar-fried peanuts."

"Damn it, I'm a snack lover, what the hell should I do if I want to lick my screen now?"

"Stop talking. Focus on licking!"

"Haha! Enough of you two upstairs. Almost threw my phone out."

Looking at the dazzling array of dried fruits, netizens are also very interested. Some people even take a notebook to write down the names of the dried fruits, hoping to see if they can be restored. Before she could finish memorizing it, He Jiong read something that made her drool again.

"Come on! One box for the pro-vassal banquet, one box with dragon and phoenix painted gold, and eight pieces of candied dried fruit. Four pieces of candied fruit for court officials' banquet, candied ginkgo, candied cherry, candied melon strips, and candied golden dates. Four candied fruits for the longevity banquet, candied fruit Pineapple, candied red fruit, candied grapes, candied horseshoe."

"Come on! Four kinds of candied fruit for the Qiansen Banquet, candied oranges, candied crabapples, candied bananas, and candied plums. Four candied fruits for the Jiubai Banquet, candied longan, candied Laiyang pear, candied water chestnut, and candied betel. Four candied fruits for the festival feast, candied fruit Ya pears, candied jujubes, candied lychees, candied Hami apricots."

"Reckless, God Zhou should open a dessert shop. Sell dried fruits and candied fruit. This is for making a fortune. It's too much not to share such good things."

"That's right, that's right. Anyway, if there are too many lice, it doesn't itch. It's okay to open a small shop. I'm sure I can spend a lot."

"Me too. I'm drooling looking at it. So many candied fruits. Whether you can see it or not, the key is that it hasn't been sold outside."

"Calm down a bit. It's time for snacks. Zhou Shenhui has a lot of snacks."

"The dim sum made by Zhou Shen is super delicious. I ate it when I went to a private restaurant before. It tastes amazing. I remember it was called pea yellow." (End of this chapter)
