Food King [Interstellar]

Of course, this is not a simple dinner with friends.When Howard Short talked about the success of "Food is the Heaven", he was delighted, and he also praised the show's producer Jiang Tang. When talking about the production of the second season, he asked Jiang Tang if he had any ideas and whether he could do it as soon as possible. do it.

Jiang Tang said that there is no idea of ​​the system yet, but some fragmented ideas, which will definitely not be implemented in the short term, and it will take half a year or even longer.

Rosen said: "I have an idea. The second season is not in a hurry to launch, and it will be launched in annual units. At present, Spanda is already carrying out a large number of crop cultivation, and Angus is also undergoing agricultural development. Wait for the second season. When the program is launched, we can take the opportunity to export agricultural products to other planets. Can Mr. Short help solve the specific operational matters?"

Howard Short smiled: "So your purpose is to sell your agricultural products? No problem, I will help you solve import and export and sales permit issues."

Luo Xun didn't deny it, just smiled: "Then thank you."

Jiang Tang knew that Luo Xun's purpose was not just to sell his own agricultural products, but to attract new ideas, disintegrate the current food market monopoly, and lift the blockade on the agricultural planet.

On the way back, Jiang Tang felt a little helpless when he thought about going to the Heavenly Palace tomorrow. Do he really want to go?In case of being recognized, there will be more than a little bit of trouble, especially for a person like Pete, who may not be able to handle him. He can foresee all kinds of turmoil after he is recognized, and there will be trust between him and Luo Xun crisis?Although it was a very good touchstone, Jiang Tang didn't do that, he insisted on tossing some extraneous things to test their feelings.Thinking of this, Jiang Tang felt a little bored.

Seeing his sullen look, Luo Xun asked him, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Tang glanced at Luo Xun and said, "I don't want to go tomorrow, I think it's not good to kick the gym, it's a little childish."

"Will you?" Luo Xun didn't care, but he still respected Jiang Tang's idea, "If you really don't want to go, then don't go, I'll tell Mr. Ou."

Jiang Tang shook his head: "I've already agreed, it's not good if we don't go. Let's go, but I don't cook." He also wanted to taste the level of the Ping family's food, so he had to let Ping Yan go Steal.

"Okay." Luo Xun patted his head and agreed.

Back at the hotel, Jiang Tang found that the four big men were sitting on the floor and having a good time, and the three pets were jumping around among them.When Marshmallow saw Jiang Tang, it sniffled, then jumped up from the ground, landed on Jiang Tang's shoulder accurately, and climbed up Jiang Tang's arm, trying to get into the bag in Jiang Tang's hand , was picked up by Jiang Tang, and put on the ground: "Just the tip of your nose, go aside. What are you doing? Have you eaten yet?"

Marshmallow landed on the ground, turned around at Jiang Tang's feet, and grabbed Jiang Tang's trouser legs with his small claws, trying to curry favor with him.

Li Ang stood up, patted the debris on his body, and said with a smile, "We are eating acorns."

Daniel didn't get up, and stretched with his legs crossed: "Some people like to drink spicy food, so they don't care about our lives. We can only find some wild fruits to satisfy our hunger."

Jiang Tang found acorn shells scattered all over the ground. Bruce was fighting for purple sweet potatoes like an old urchin. It seemed that they had eaten a lot.Jiang Tang walked over and sat down on the floor: "Give me some too, and see how it tastes."

Li Ang handed a split acorn in his hand to Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang broke off the fruit and tasted it. The raw acorn was a bit crunchy and sweet, like the taste of chestnut: "It tastes good. Are you going to eat this for dinner? "

Daniel raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, eat a molecular meal? You brought us a takeaway?"

Jiang Tang gave him the bag in his hand: "I brought you some desserts."

Daniel happily took it: "Great, thank you Tang Tang, I knew Tang Tang was the most considerate."

Jiang Tang said: "I also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. I didn't buy them, but Xiao Te's uncle bought the bill."

Daniel took out several carefully packaged cardboard boxes from the bag, no more, no less, exactly seven. It seemed that people and pets had brought them, and Daniel distributed them to everyone one by one.As soon as the marshmallows were received in the box, they couldn't wait to tear them apart. Seeing this, Luo Xun squatted down and opened the box for them.

The dessert was fruit pudding. Daniel took a bite and squinted his eyes with happiness: "It's so delicious, I love desserts the most."

A group of foodies were eating desserts, so Jiang Tang sat down and peeled the acorns to eat. Luo Xun knew that he couldn't open them, so he quietly helped.Li Ang said, "Jiang Tang, do you still eat?"

Jiang Tang smiled at him: "No, I'm full."

Jiang Tang ate a few acorns, and then put the acorns in a box.Luo Xun asked him, "Why don't you eat?"

Jiang Tang said: "I plan to process it to make it creamy, the taste should be better."

Daniel, a foodie, watched all directions, and when he heard that there was something to eat, he hurried over: "How do you make it? Is it delicious?"

"I don't know, I have to try it. There are no spices or pots here, so I'll get it back on the boat. Cotton candy, bring back more acorns." Jiang Tang put an acorn on the cotton candy in front of him, and then pointed out the window.

Luo Xun said: "If you want an acorn, you can buy it."

Jiang Tang opened his eyes wide: "Can you still get it?"

"The local people use acorns to make handicrafts, and they always choose good quality, and throw away the bad ones as garbage," Luo Xun said.

Jiang Tang felt that this was too wasteful, and laughed: "Then go and collect some for me, and we'll take it back to the boat to eat."

"can."

Daniel added: "The more the merrier!"

Ou Shangnon asked them to have dinner at Tiangong at noon the next day.Before going out, Jiang Tang put on makeup according to the image recorded in "Food is the Sky for the People". Before going, he greeted everyone and said that he appeared as Joe, so don't pretend to be a gangster.

This time they didn't take the roller coaster, but took Uncle Short's speeding car and went directly to Tiangong.Oshannon had arrived early and was chatting with a woman in a light purple cheongsam in a private room. Seeing them coming, he smiled and said to the other party: "My friends are here. Let me introduce you. These two are Mr. Short. It's Mr. Tang and Joe, and Joe is my chef friend. This is Ms. Ping Yimei, the person in charge of Tiangong." Luo Xun's current alias is Tang Chao.

Ping Yimei is a classic beauty, with an oval face, almond eyes, a pendulous nose, and cherry lips. She doesn't know her exact age, but she looks like she is in her thirties, but her eyes feel that she is at least forty years old.She smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to everyone: "I don't know it's a distinguished guest, so I should go to greet you in person. I'm sorry, welcome everyone."

When Ping Yimei shook hands with Jiang Tang, she stared into Jiang Tang's eyes and said, "I've already met you on the show "Food is the Heaven of the People". Say you are good at Chinese food, but which one did you learn from?"

Jiang Tang said: "That's Mr. Ou's absurd praise. I am self-taught, and I dare not fight in front of Boss Ping." Jiang Tang knew that Ping Yan's mother was Ping Yiliu, so he and Ping Yimei should be sisters.Although the Ping family declined, the members of the family were very prosperous. Both men and women in the Ping family learned cooking skills from an early age. The daughters never married outside, only recruited husbands, and the children born were also surnamed Ping.Ping Yan is an illegitimate child. His father is unknown. His mother died when he was very young. He was brought up by the Ping family. He was neglected because of his background and mediocre qualifications. He never attended such a big event as the family gathering every year. , so he has never seen Ping Yimei who is stationed on Aurora Star.

Ping Yimei raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Tang again: "Mr. Qiao must be a genius who is self-taught. Mr. Ou said that you plan to show your skills with us today. I don't know what dishes you are going to make, so I can ask the kitchen to prepare ingredients for you." .”

Jiang Tang quickly waved his hands: "Don't dare, dare not, I'm just here for dinner."

Oshannon looked at him: "What's the matter, Joe, didn't you agree to cook two dishes for us?"

Adam Short also said: "That's right, Joe, I came here just to cook for you, otherwise I would have come here for nothing?" This guy went straight, completely ignoring Ping Yimei's feelings.

Howard Short said: "I've always wanted to taste Joe's cooking. We've worked together for so long and haven't eaten your dishes. Don't you appreciate it?"

Ping Yimei is not a shy persimmon, she smiled and said: "Since everyone praises Mr. Qiao's craftsmanship so much, I really want to try your craftsmanship, please come with me. Our kitchen has never been As for outsiders, you are the first."

Jiang Tang saw that he couldn't pass the refusal, so he had to stand up: "It's an offense, so I'll take the blame, and I ask Boss Ping to give me some advice."

Ping Yimei said to the people in the room: "Please order first, I will take Mr. Qiao to get acquainted first."

Jiang Tang followed Ping Yimei out of the private room, and the hall outside was full of seats. It was still eleven o'clock in the morning, which showed that the business was booming.Noticing Jiang Tang's gaze, Ping Yimei asked, "Which restaurant does Mr. Qiao usually work in?"

Jiang Tang said: "Oh, I don't work in the restaurant anymore, cooking is just my hobby." He didn't want to tell her that he was holding a cooking training class, for fear that she would strangle him if she found out.

Ping Yimei looked at him in surprise: "Then where do you get your ingredients from?"

Jiang Tang said: "Grow it yourself, and collect it from the wild."

"That's interesting." Ping Yimei smiled slightly.

The door of the kitchen is locked with a code. Ping Yimei only opens the door after verifying her fingerprints. Outsiders can't get in if they want to.The kitchen was already very busy at this time, several pots and stoves were fired at the same time, the mist was steaming, the fragrance was overflowing, and the sound of spatulas clashing one after another.Jiang Tang noticed that there were only five cooks cooking, and there were at least two hundred seats outside, which meant that one chef was in charge of at least 40 people, while high-end restaurants usually had eight to ten people, and ordinary ones would not exceed 20 people.

When the busy chefs saw Jiang Tang coming in, they just glanced sideways, and then went back to their own business. They simply had no time to distract themselves.

Ping Yimei didn't introduce Jiang Tang to everyone, but said to him: "You should familiarize yourself with the environment first. Their menu will be delivered in a while. You can choose two dishes."

Jiang Tang nodded.He paid attention to the various condiments on the stove. There were common Chinese food seasonings soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, cooking wine, marinade, etc. There were also many Western food seasonings, various sauces and juices, bottles and cans Cans are piled up on the stove, which looks like a sauce shop.Jiang Tangxin said, can it be used so much?

The menu hadn't been delivered yet, and he watched the chefs cook. One chef took a large spoon and skillfully poured sauces into it. There were at least a dozen kinds of sauces poured in. In the pot, stir-fry, put the vegetables on the plate, and the color turns black.Ping Yimei came over: "What did you see?"

Jiang Tang asked: "What kind of dish is this?"

"Fish-flavored shredded pork." Ping Yimei said.

Jiang Tang asked, "Can I have a taste?"

Ping Yimei handed over a spoon, and Jiang Tang asked, "Are there no chopsticks?"

Ping Yimei was taken aback for a moment: "We no longer eat with chopsticks, we use spoons."

Jiang Tangxin said, if you don't need chopsticks to eat Chinese food, is this still authentic Chinese food?He scooped up a little bit and tasted it. The taste was not bad, but it was miscellaneous. The condiments covered up the original taste of the food, and there was no fishy smell. A lot of western food condiments were added in it.Jiang Tang asked: "Why do you put Western food condiments?"

Ping Yimei was stunned for a moment, and said, "Everyone's tastes have been integrated. The traditional Chinese food taste is no longer popular. We have to change it to suit the taste of the public. How is the taste?"

"It's not bad." Jiang Tangxin said, the decline of Chinese food was eliminated in order to cater to the tastes of the public, or was it eliminated because of changing tastes.

When Oshannon and the others brought in their menu, there happened to be a fish-flavored shredded pork dish. Jiang Tang said, "I'll make the fish-flavored shredded pork. I'll also make this beer duck dish." There is no duck on the Angus planet. , Want to eat but can't eat, Jiang Tang saw the beer duck, and couldn't help but get greedy.

Ping Yimei said: "Yes, what about the others?"

"You can also make bad fish fillets." There is no glutinous rice on the planet Angus, so you can't make bad stew, so you can't do it if you want to. Now that you have it, you have to try it.

Ping Yimei nodded: "That's fine, you can do it yourself."

Jiang Tang rolled up his sleeves and started to work.The busy chefs couldn't help but look sideways when they noticed Jiang Tang started cooking. A young man in his 20s said, "Mom, is he the new chef?"

Ping Yimei said: "No, a friend of a friend said he could cook, and he wanted to show off his skills."

Jiang Tang turned his head to look at the speaker, who happened to be looking at Jiang Tang too.Jiang Tang looked at the other party, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a slightly familiar scar on the other party's forehead. It turned out that he was an acquaintance, and there was a relationship, this person was called Ping Jue.From the age of five, the juniors of the Heing family will all be sent to the Heing family's mansion in Peret to receive a unified education, and the Heing family's parents will teach cooking skills in person.Ping Jue's talent is extremely high. It is said that he has learned to cook since he was three years old. He stands out among his brothers and sisters who are about the same age, and is also loved by Mr. Ping.

Ping Jue is three years older than Ping Yan, and when Ping Yan learned cooking, Ping Jue was already a king of children.Ping Yan was weak, short and clumsy, and looked particularly easy to bully. On the first day of school, Ping Yan was beaten by Ping Jue. At that time, Ping Yan was eating with a spoon in his hand. Ping Jue pushed Ping Yan. Ping Yan was overthrown to the ground.At that time, there were a lot of onlookers, and Ping Yan bumped into a child who was booing at the side. The child was fat and couldn't stand still, so he also jumped down and brought Ping Jue down, and Ping Jue threw himself into Ping Yan's hands impartially. There was a cut in the handle of the spoon.

Ping Yan paid a heavy price for this. After being beaten to death by Ping Jue and the children, he was kicked by Mr. Ping so that he stayed in the hospital for half a month. After that, he lost the qualification to learn cooking with everyone.

Ping Jue didn't recognize Jiang Tang, he glanced at Jiang Tang arrogantly, frowned and said, "Mom, don't think that you are the store manager, just take anyone to the kitchen. Beware of someone stealing your teacher."

Jiang Tang smiled, but didn't speak.Ping Yimei said: "This is the chef Joe in "Food is the Heaven". Otis said he is good at cooking and can cook Chinese food. I want to see his cooking skills. You are busy with your work, don't worry about us."

When Ping Jue heard that it was Joe, he sneered: "Is it him? It's a mule or a horse coming out for a walk."
