royal family

When a fire broke out in the kitchen, all the idle people wanted to crowd around to watch the excitement.

Tian Fangli dismissed the idlers and others, and brought a few of his apprentices to help Shao Yan.The main reason is that Shao's father said that Shao Yan's ability was a bit too big. Even if Tian Fangli didn't believe that such a young man could have any abilities, he still wanted to see his strengths with a learning attitude.

Shao's mother came over to put an apron on her son. Tao Xi neatly stacked the washed ingredients on the side of the stove. Shao Yan grabbed an abalone and said to Tian Fangli when he lifted the knife, "Look carefully."

Before Tian Fangli understood what the other party meant, a silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and Shao Yan's fluttering saber skills immediately stunned him.

Shao Yanshi's saber technique is called Dongtian style, which comes from one of the sub-volumes of the inner strength and mental method passed down to him by his master.This is a good way to kill people, but it was improved by Shao Yan into a knife technique used in the kitchen. The boss always feels violent when watching him cook with his own hands, but in Shao Yan's view, the greatest value of the knife technique lies in its use Is the ground correctly in place.

When swinging the knife in the cave style, you must inject true energy, so the blade will become extremely sharp.The texture of vegetables, fish and meat cut by Qi is quite different from that of those cut by a sharp knife. Shao Yan can't say what the reason is, but the emperor's tongue with a drill can always taste it accurately from the cut surface of the raw material. It is conceivable how big the difference is to tell whether Director Shao has cooked the meal himself.

The knife technique was very fast, in Tian Fangli's eyes, it was as if weaving a fine net with the knife.While breathing, Shao Yan stopped, and the knife was firmly inserted on the chopping board. The corners of a five-headed abalone had already been picked clean, and the surface was neatly cut with a cross knife in a suitable depth, fluffy like a petal stretch out.

Not only Tian Fangli, but even Shao's father and Shao's mother were a little dumbfounded.

Beautiful knife skills do exist, and many chefs in the food industry have mastered this skill, but fancy knife skills have always been for appreciation. Who can really use it to cut vegetables?

If Shao Yan didn't know martial arts, it would be impossible for him to do this.But after he was able to do it, he didn't think it was so strange, and now he just focused on explaining the steps of his cooking: "Cut with a cross knife and then chop diagonally. After one cut, cut another diagonally according to the original knife path." Chop, all the cross patterns should be done in this way, and the final cooked abalone meat will be more tender and more beautiful."

As he spoke, he picked up the abalone and threw it into the open casserole aside. Inside was hen soup that had been stewed for a long time. There were not many extra spices in the soup. There is no need to overthrow and cook again.

"Cut the dried bamboo shoots into two inches, and cut the mushrooms in half." When he heard Shao Yan's order, Tian Fangli was still reviewing Shao Yan's knife skills just now. His knife skills alone were better than his master chef who has been in the chef world for more than 20 years. A hundred times stronger.He was full of disbelief, how old is Shao Yan?He's not twenty yet, is he?

Or was it the little apprentice who reacted first and bumped into the master, Tian Fangli came back to his senses, how long is two inches?

He hurriedly went to get the knife to cut it and put it aside, and then stared at Shao Yan's movements intently. The fat and thin ham was cut into thin slices. Dry, stir-fry for a while, then divide the clear soup stewed in the main pot into a small pot, and put the dried ham and bamboo shoots into the small pot together with the oil.

Tian Fangli couldn't help frowning. They always used chicken soup to stew the ingredients, and after they were crispy, they took them all out and put them in clear soup. Shao Yan's method of stewing ingredients in clear soup has never been done before.

"Clear soup has little taste. You can't put thick ingredients in the stew, but you must raise the aroma before serving. In the future, you can throw in any strong flavors in your stew. Add chicken soup and dried bamboo shoots to the tasteless things like abalone wings. It is more suitable to absorb oil and taste than to use fresh bamboo shoots." Shao Yan talked a lot when he was leading his apprentices, and he explained in a low voice while burying his head in watching the fire, and Tian Fangli suddenly understood a few words.Buddha Tiaoqiang is a famous and expensive dish, and they also stepped into a misunderstanding. They only wanted to make it as exquisite and luxurious as possible, but they forgot that some things are still the best in simplicity.

Shao Yan seemed to know the time. After the abalone was stewed for a while, he threw in the sea cucumber and shark's fin, and then began to cut the fish lip. He took a bone out of the fish lip, and it lay soft, fat and trembling on the plate. So cute, Shao Yan looked at the time and went to wash his hands. By the way, he ordered: "After an hour... After two hours, put the fish lips, then stew the bamboo fungus on medium heat, and then turn off the low heat after 15 minutes, and simmer until four Just one o'clock. Don't take off the cover." When it comes to the current time measurement, he is always easy to say.

The chicken soup was nothing special, the pot of clear soup had already begun to emit a faint fragrance, and the effect of the fried ham and soup base was better than Tian Fangli had ever imagined.No matter how good Shao Yan's culinary skills are, this one hand alone is enough to impress Jiaotian Fangli.He didn't dare to fool around, he set the alarm clock after Shao Yan left, and while recalling the steps of Shao Yan's cooking just now, he asked his apprentice to set up the pot array and learn how to cook, and it took a while for him to turn green with regret... He didn't remember it carefully The time for Shao Yan to release abalone and sea cucumber!

Shao Yan was taken by Shao's mother to have a haircut and buy clothes. The original clothes at home had long grown, and Shao's mother bought the new clothes after estimating Shao Yan's body shape, and they were somewhat looser.

Dining on the top floor, and all kinds of goods are sold below the top floor. Shao Yan prefers sports clothes, but Shao's mother insists on pushing him into a store that sells casual clothes.

Holding the shirt in his hand, Shao Yan's face was so heavy that he was about to drip water, but Shao's mother was not afraid of him at all, and all of them chose styles to modify her figure.After being forced to take off her coat, the sales lady walked around Shao Yan twice, and said: "Just take the size M!"

"M size?" Shao's mother was also a little startled, "He used to wear three plus size!"

Probably a regular customer, and the other party's response is also very familiar: "Yes! We will archive the size data of VIPs, and it was indeed added by two or three before."

The little girl came to Shao Yan's side with a look of surprise: "But why did you lose weight so quickly?!"

Shao Yan's biggest weakness now is his cheap mother and soft and cute girls. Many girls in this era are bold and have individuality. He has nothing to do when he is pestered by such a person, so he can't help but smile and pinch the girl Chin: "I'm exercising, do I lose weight for no reason?"

"..." The little girl blushed silently and returned to her post.It's been a while since I haven't seen Shao Yan, why has it changed?

Shao's mother was ashamed, and couldn't help but blame Shao Yan when she pushed Shao Yan into the fitting room: "You have so many hands, why do you touch other people's faces when you have nothing to do?"

I'm cheap.Shao Yan licked the corners of his mouth at Shao's mother, but Shao's mother had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Shao Yan hated the skinny jeans and white shirt that Shao's mother had chosen for him, but when the fitting door opened, Shao's mother once again proved her unique vision.

Shao Yan, who was wearing jeans for the first time, was still a little unaccustomed to pulling the fabric. This thing was thicker than hemp, and it stuck tightly to his skin. The texture was so weird that people couldn't describe it in words.He has never worn such trousers before. He has been used to those loose sports pants and casual trousers for a long time. Mr. Shao, who has always been beautiful in soft silk and satin, may find it difficult to adapt to the modern society in a short time. Western culture... like this shirt with a collar that almost reaches the chest.

"Wow." Shao's mother looked at her son, and after a moment she calmly sighed in admiration, and took a few steps back to lean against the mirror.Although Shao Yan is not tall, his body proportions are good, and the proportions of his waist and legs can be discerned unevenly with the naked eye.In the past, because she was too fat, such an advantage was never noticed. Now that she has lost weight, she suddenly realizes that her son has a very high-quality hanger figure.

Shao Yan had just weighed himself a few days ago, and he was forty catties lighter than before he was admitted to the hospital. Based on the ratio of height to weight, he was still in the normal fat range.However, the difference in volume between the same mass of muscle and the same mass of fat is obviously quite obvious. This gap may not be visible under loose clothes, but once he puts on a close-fitting denim shirt, his whole body It even looks skinny.

Shao Yan straightened his trousers, frowned and looked up at Shao's mother. His slender eyelashes contrasted sharply with his milky white skin, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in a halo that made Shao's mother feel strange.

On the top floor, Tian Fangli stood in front of the stove, his eyes fell on dozens of small pots lined up in front of him without blinking.A scent that can make people hungry has been permeated in the kitchen. In the main pot, the soup stewed with dried ham and bamboo shoots is mature enough.

The chefs outside are working hard.In a restaurant, it is impossible to let the chef do all the work. In fact, except for the big dishes that serve as signatures to attract customers, the other names on the menu are all supporting roles.Supporting characters are born out of the hands of other supporting characters.They may be the chef's proud disciples, or they may be young chefs who are not as talented as the chefs. After working in ordinary positions for a few years, they have the opportunity to get in touch with more advanced dishes.

Tian Fangli is currently in charge of several big dishes of Tianfu Old Store, including the dozens of Buddha Jumping Wall stewed on the stove.

His craftsmanship is not good enough, firstly because his creative ability is not that good, and secondly because he has no chance to come into contact with a capable teacher like Mr. Shao.A few days after Chef Ah Shu left suddenly, many old customers who came to patronize him were very dissatisfied with the Buddha jumping over the wall in his hand.If this continues, the signboard of the old Tianfu store will definitely be smashed, but today, the scent lingering at the tip of his nose tells Tian Fangli that this may be the most beautiful turnaround in his life.

Three minutes before four o'clock, the door of the back kitchen was finally pushed open. Tian Fangli raised his head as if he was amnesty, and saw a completely new Shao Yan walking in with a sullen face.

Shao Yan was dragged to have his hair cut. This was the first time he moved his head since he was conscious. The feeling of pushing the head and scissors against the scalp felt strange and scary. Shao Yan wanted to strangle the barber at any time. , It was not until the spread was lifted that he slowly relaxed his vigilance. This is a habit that has been fused into the flesh and blood, and it can no longer be changed.

The new hairstyle is very nice. The hairdresser thinned his hair a little, leaving fluffy curls on his soft forehead. Shao Yan escaped the scary-smelling hair dye but was deceived by the harmless-looking hair iron. Turn the heater on. Finally, Shao Yan seemed to see a strange foreigner in the mirror.

Shao's mother said that it looked good, and the barber was unwilling to obey Shao Yan's words and destroy his "masterpiece". Shao Yan, who didn't want to feel the sharp weapon on his head for the second time, didn't hold on for long.He is not a person who pays much attention to his appearance.

When I came back with Shao's mother, I felt that the eyes from the girls had increased. Shao Yan's bad mood was cured a little, but after all, he was a little unaccustomed.

His terrifying eyes made Tian Fangli swallow the words that wanted to praise his new look instantly.When Shao Yan approached, he stood up almost urgently: "It's time."

"Take the bowl." Shao Yan never skipped a word when he was in a bad mood, "I only do it once."

A single serving of five-headed abalone with fish lip, shark fin, sea cucumber, and five-headed abalone is priced at [-], which is really high. As a match, guests on the table can order other vegetables, drinks and drinks at will, and the consumption of a meal is easy Break five figures.With such high consumption, it is an omission that is hard to forgive if the finale tastes bad.

The recent major changes in the Shao family naturally cannot escape the eyes and ears of some old gourmets. Many people feel sorry for the Shao Gange family, which has naturally declined with Erfang's rise to power. After several old restaurants were handed over to him, the quality of the dishes has never been lowered for a day.Catering is different from many industries that require boldness and aggressiveness. What is more important than ambition is the current reputation of an old store.

Many old customers are very worried that the old store will not be able to survive this big change, and just want to eat two more meals while they still have the opportunity. A few days ago, their worries finally became a reality-the restaurant is the most impressive. The taste of the finale dish that I can't let go of has also changed.

The old gourmets have to move forward in the constant pursuit of delicious food, and the old shop has finally reached its limit, but after all, they have been with them for so many years, and before they are completely sold out, the old customers who miss the old love still make an appointment to eat at the end A farewell dinner.

"Oh, what a pity. Among Shao's restaurants, the one on Tianfu Road is the most traditional one. I didn't expect to make it through in the end." In the private room, a short and thin old man fiddled with the ground three delicacies on the turntable with chopsticks , shook his head and sighed after a moment.

Most of them are not young, and when they think of Mr. Shao's cherishment of the Shao family's property when he was alive, and when they relate to themselves, they feel a little sad: "What's the use of having sons and daughters? How long did Mr. Shao go? That’s how the restaurant has changed.”

"It's no wonder the boss of the Shao family." A person who obviously knew the inside story lowered his voice and was about to gossip when suddenly there were two light knocks on the door of the private room, and a sweet and crisp female voice came in from outside: "Mr. Wu, the Buddha jumped over the wall has arrived."

Everyone had tasted Tiantian Fangli's craftsmanship a few days ago, and now they didn't have any expectations in their hearts. The little old men looked lazily at the beautiful waiter who opened the door.The little girl smiled at them, bowed slightly, and the waiter behind followed with a tray with several stewing pots with coiled dragon pattern on it.

The fragrance was blown into the private room by the breeze outside the door, floating around like an invisible ribbon, with a domineering posture.

Covered by the aroma, the little old men were stupefied, and after a while they all stood up unbelievably, and their eyes fell on the stewing pot: "Why is Buddha Jumping Wall so fragrant today?!"

The little girl smiled shyly: "I'm sorry, the chef who took over a few days ago was not good enough, which disappointed you guys. Today Mr. Shao brought his son to cook for you guys in person, and specially asked me to cook with you. A few apologies."

How could the little old men have the patience to listen to her apology, their eyes were almost green.The little girl didn't talk too much, and left quickly after serving the dishes. The old men in the private room didn't even have time to express their opinions, so they hurriedly drank the soup.

"Well!!!"

"hot!"

"...Damn it!"

The richness of the chicken soup mixed with an inexplicable salty aroma, and the fresh air rushed from the mouth to the skull, running around like crazy.After eating Buddha Jumping Over the Wall in so many places, who has ever seen this taste?A few seconds ago, the few people who were still lamenting that the old Shao's shop was estimated to be in decline, looked up while chewing on the ingredients, and looked at each other when they saw each other's eating.
