Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"I also want a portion of twice-cooked pork and a portion of rice. Come on, I've been starving for a long time."

There were more than a dozen people, but the dishes they ordered were always the same.

This confused Manager Liu.

what's the situation?

Are these dishes popular in Beijing recently?

Although he was very confused, Manager Liu did not think too much about it and told the shop assistants to go to the kitchen to report the order.

After a while, a man wearing an apron came to see Manager Liu.

This person was Master Liang, the kitchen foreman and Sha Zhu's immediate superior.

"Manager Liu, we don't have braised meat in our store. How about braised meat?"

"Also, why are there so many twice-cooked pork and stir-fried liver and kidney on the menu just reported? Aren't these the ones we should remove from the menu?"

Shopkeeper Liu, who was sitting on a chair, scratched his head with the end of a pen and shook his head in confusion: "I also want to know what happened. Suddenly, more than a dozen people came. I thought they were a group, but I didn't expect them to work separately after entering the store."

Upon hearing this, Master Liang glanced towards the hall and saw a dozen guests sitting in scattered seats.

After asking Manager Liu which braised meat he had ordered, Chef Liang personally went over to explain, "Sir, we don't have braised meat at Fengdeng Lou. Do you think braised meat with soy sauce would be ok?"

The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, and replied somewhat unhappily: "I want to eat braised meat, why are you giving me braised meat?"

"Forget about the lack of braised meat. Hurry up and bring over my stir-fried liver and kidney and spicy shredded potatoes."

Don’t eat braised meat?

Master Liang frowned slightly and asked again, "Um, sir, I have something to ask you. Did you guys come here together? Why did you order similar dishes?"

"These dishes are not the signature dishes of our Fengdenglou..."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man sighed with some disappointment.

"Hey, don't mention it."

"We didn't have anything to eat at the stalls outside, so we came to your Fengdeng Building to get a bite."

"Huh? A small stall?" Master Liang was completely confused.

Why do I hear that they couldn’t eat the food at the stalls and had no choice but to come to Fengdeng Tower to have a bite?

That's the opposite, right?

What kind of stall can compare with Fengdenglou? Are you kidding me?

For a moment, Master Liang thought that some restaurant wanted to trip them up and deliberately brought these dozen people over.

When the dishes are served, they will deliberately find fault and embarrass Fengdeng Tower.

"Yes, it's a small stall run by a great chef. The taste is really amazing, especially the braised meat. I'm almost dying of greed."

"I worked so hard and waited in line for a long time. It was almost my turn, but the vegetables were sold out. Not even a leaf was left."

As soon as he said this, a guy sitting at the table next to him couldn't help but say, "Hey, I didn't get a seat yesterday. You must be the cook at Fengdeng Tower, hurry up and cook. If we hadn't eaten outside, we wouldn't have bothered to come here for a bite."

Hi!

Why is this kid still speaking with resentment?

Master Liang's expression also turned a little ugly.

Trust!

It’s definitely a scam, confirmed!

These people were definitely hired by the rival restaurant to annoy them.

He actually said that Fengdenglou was not even as good as a street vendor. When Master Liang heard this, he found it more offensive than cursing.

"Sir, I don't like what you said. Although our Fengdeng Building is not as good as the Eight Buildings in the Four Nine Cities, our level is second only to them. You said that we can't even compare to a street vendor. Isn't that a bit too much?"

The young man was also young and full of energy, and said bluntly: "It's not like I haven't been to your Fengdeng Tower before, so I know what it tastes like."

"If I can't win, I can't win. I'll practice more in the future."

When Master Liang heard this, he became more confident and asked in a questioning tone: "Excuse me, sir, what is the name of the stall owner outside, and who is his master?"

The young man looked at him with a strange look, and after a moment he said, "No, are you okay? I'm going to have a stir-fry, and I have to ask what the chef's name is? Where did you learn your craft?"

"I was going there to eat, not to do a population survey."

Seeing that the atmosphere between Master Liang and the guests was becoming increasingly tense, Shopkeeper Liu immediately ran over and sent Master Liang away.

"Hey, Master Liang, please go to the kitchen first. I'll take care of this."

After Master Liang left, Shopkeeper Liu asked the young man with a smile, "Young man, where is the stall of the master you mentioned? How long has he been there?"

Seeing that Manager Liu was in a good mood, the young man replied, "Turn right after you go out the door and walk forty or fifty meters to get there."

"The young owner of the stall looks to be no more than 20 years old. He has been setting up the stall with his sister for about three or four days."

A twenty-year-old young master?

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and shook his head.

It turns out that these people are all country bumpkins!

How can such a young chef cook?

Once they have tasted the food at Fengdeng Tower, won’t they praise it to the sky?

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Liu returned to the counter with peace of mind. The cooking chef mentioned by the young man was nothing to worry about.

However, this thought did not last long before it was interrupted by the sound of slamming on the table in the store.

"I said I wanted braised meat, but why is it braised meat?"

"That's right, if there's no braised meat, just say so. Who are you trying to fool with the braised meat? I'm not going to eat it anymore. Let's go!"

After saying this, two guests dropped their chopsticks and left angrily before Shopkeeper Liu could react.

Ah, this......

Shopkeeper Liu pinched his eyebrows speechlessly. If there is no braised meat, don't serve it. Why bring the braised meat?

This Master Liang is really something. He has been a chef for so many years, but he doesn’t understand this?

"boom!"

There was another sound of slapping the table.

Shopkeeper Liu was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw another customer losing his temper.

"Is this stir-fried liver and kidney? The liver is overcooked and the kidney is bleeding. How the hell can this be eaten? Is this the quality of your Fengdeng Building?"

The middle-aged man who ordered the braised meat at the beginning couldn't help but say: "Your stir-fried liver and kidney is not good. The color, aroma and taste are not good. If I had known, I would not have come to your place to have a bite."

The other table pointed at the twice-cooked pork that had just been served and asked, "Where's the Dengzhanwo? Why don't you have Dengzhanwo in your twice-cooked pork?"

"This plate of shredded potatoes is the only decent one, but it's not as good as those sold at street stalls outside, and the price is much higher."

"Did you guys at Fengdeng Tower do this on purpose?"

"Call your cook out here. If you don't give me an explanation, I won't pay you today!"

Hey!

All of a sudden, the dozen or so guests who had just arrived all had opinions.

This scene stunned Manager Liu.

Although their Fengdenglou is not a famous restaurant, nor is it an old store that has been open for a long time, it has a good reputation in this area, and they have never encountered a dozen guests getting angry at the same time.

Hearing the noise, Chef Liang came out from the kitchen with a stern face. He glanced at the guests present and immediately understood something.

Sure enough, the ones causing trouble were the group of people just now. They came to Fengdenglou together and ordered similar dishes.

This is definitely someone trying to cause trouble!
