The Royal Kitchen of the Entertainment Circle

After a while, the chatter and footsteps of the people came from the house. The grandfather and grandson quickly stood aside, met everyone's gaze, and said dryly: "Hey, isn't this Lao Zhang's home game? Naturally, Lao Zhang will take the lead. "

Everyone smiled tacitly and followed Zhang Taishan to the back kitchen.

At this time, it had been a long time since the meal time, but there were still a few tables of guests in the hall, Guan Xuyang had to put on his mask again, and dragged his grandfather into the crowd.Such a mighty group of people naturally aroused the curiosity of others.

Some sharp-eyed people saw that the leader, the old man in the uniform of Xiang Yixuan, must be the chef of Xiang Yixuan, and he couldn't help pulling the waiter next to him and asking in a low voice: "Hey? What's the situation with those people? How do you go to the back kitchen? gone?"

The waitress smiled and explained: "That's our chef's friend. I think I'm going to catch up with you elsewhere. Guests, please take your time. If you need anything, you can call me anytime."

"Oh, okay."

The monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, he could only watch a group of people pass by, then turned around and continued eating , I'm afraid I've seen it somewhere else?I can't remember it for a while, it's still the best to eat.

"Hi Chef!"

The yelling in unison shocked everyone, they stared fixedly at the chefs in uniforms made by Xiang Yixuan lined up in the back kitchen, speechless.

Sure enough, a grand hotel is a grand hotel.

Even though Xiang Yixuan is only one of the more than 20 restaurants in the Beijing Hotel, the staffing of the kitchen, the complete equipment of the back kitchen and the rich ingredients make many chefs feel itchy.

Even Guan Xuyang was slightly absent-minded as it was the first time he had seen such a large-scale kitchen.

Unlike the back kitchen of the hotel where he lived in Hengdian for more than a month before, Xiang Yixuan's back kitchen is obviously more than twice as large, and the staffing is roughly a dozen people.Judging from the bright and tidy stove, the classification of seasonings, and the neatly stacked food racks, Zhang Taishan, the chef of Xiangyixuan, is a very strict chef, not only for his work but also for his opponents. The chefs were obviously very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, and the smiles in his eyes almost overflowed, but he still pretended to reprimand: "You bastards, have you finished your work? One by one What are you doing to join in the fun? Say, who is the mastermind?"

At this time, a young man with a tight cut grinned: "Master, we have finished our work. Isn't it because you brought friends here? We have already heard about some of the masters. Isn't it just a curiosity?" Well?"

"Go, go, you're the one with the skin. Leian, come here, and take the master's apprentices to familiarize yourself with our stove first, and then check what ingredients are left." Zhang Taishan pointed at the man with a flat head without hesitation. He raised his eyebrows, met his puzzled eyes and said: "Later, you and your senior brother will take an exam with them and show your skills in front of the master."

"Really?" Leian exclaimed in shock, and it was his master's merciless mouth that provoked him: "Why don't you hurry up and arrange it, you melon?" Then he took a few steps forward, as if he was going to hit his apprentice arm.

However, Lei An dodged ahead of time with a smile on his face and said, "Okay, master, I'll do it right away." After speaking, he pulled a man out of a row of people behind him and walked towards Guan Xuyang, Tang Qingxuan and others, causing trouble. The envious looks of the crowd behind him came.

Naturally, Zhang Taishan saw it, coughed twice and said, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you take advantage of the free time of the masters to ask for advice?"

All the apprentices were overjoyed, and they flocked towards the old people with glowing eyes.

Their masters have already said that they will definitely let them meet the chefs of all major cuisines. This is a great opportunity. Many of them have prepared a lot of questions and are waiting to ask them today. How can we let them go? This is a great opportunity!

Masters... Mouth!

The old man Zhang is so thoughtful!

I really believed his nonsense. If Guan Xuyang and Pan Fengmao hadn't been involved in this matter today, I'm afraid he would have taken someone to the back kitchen, right?

This abacus is really crackling...

On the other side, Guan Xuyang, Jin Leyu, Tang Qingxuan and others also roughly got a thorough understanding of Xiang Yixuan's back kitchen under Lei An's introduction.

The taciturn tall man who was pulled over by Lei An was Lei An's senior brother and also Zhang Taishan's big disciple Yao Tiancheng. These are the senior brothers, one is 25, the other is [-]. The older one has been with Zhang Taishan for several years, while the younger one is just We have only been with each other for two years, one is taciturn, the other is lively and cheerful, and the personalities of the two brothers are very complementary.

However, Guan Xuyang asked in doubt: "May I ask, Master Zhang seems to be about the same age as my grandfather, why did he accept apprentices so late?" His grandfather's apprentice Qi Shan is also in his thirties this year. It seems that it is already late to accept apprentices, why is it even later for others?

Looking at the audience, Qi Shan was the oldest among them, and Leian was the youngest, who would be one year older than Guan Xuyang.

"Pfft."

Everyone looked at Guan Xuyang with slightly weird expressions, and Leian couldn't help laughing and said: "Sorry, sorry, I forgot that you are not in our industry anymore, let me explain to you..."

It turns out that in the rapidly developing modern society, the matter of accepting apprentices and apprentices is not as rigorous as in ancient times, and it is not like the one-on-one teaching of masters and skills as before. Instead, most of them are chefs who have graduated from school After a few years of unified training at the school, you can enter the society and work.

As for the master-student relationship, it depends on the individual's choice. Most of them accept apprentices and wait until the apprentices have mastered their skills to become masters, then accept another apprentice, and then become masters...

Repeatedly, maintain a virtuous circle.

Most chefs will select apprentice candidates from the place where they work, in order to train a few helpers for themselves, and at the same time pass on some of their skills.

Of course, there are also masters of Zhejiang cuisine Jin Kangyong, Sichuan cuisine master Zheng Yuan, and Su cuisine master Tang Zhengde who only teach their own sons. Most of these types are their own restaurants, so naturally their own families are most at ease.

For example, Zheng Yuan was the second chef of a certain restaurant in the capital a few years ago, and later he saved some spare money and opened a Sichuan restaurant in the capital, which is booming and the business is not bad.

Guan Xuyang nodded after hearing this, noncommittal.The current master-student relationship is much more relaxed than before. When he was learning skills from his master, he basically treated him as his own father, respectful and respectful, and did not dare to complain.

However, I don't know if it's good or bad.

Not long after, Lei An and Yao Tiancheng took a group of young people to visit all the areas, and then returned to their house with a playful smile and said, "Master, I'll take them shopping, when shall we start?"

"You are a rascal." Zhang Taishan muttered something, turned around and asked a few old friends respectfully: "Guys, tell me what is the exam today?" Traces cast an apologetic look at Li Xingguo.

It is said that it is a test, but it is actually a big competition.This was also the case in previous gatherings, but it was a competition that their apprentices only saw, instead of pulling in Li Xingguo's grandson to force a competition like Pan Fengmao.

The two are completely different concepts, Zhang Taishan naturally felt that these old men were a little too deceitful, so he took the initiative to say: "Why don't we let everyone use their housekeeping skills to cook a dish, and let us taste it." Learn?"

"feasible."

"can."

"no!"

In the unanimous answer, Pan Fengmao's loud voice directly overwhelmed the audience, and he yelled dissatisfiedly: "Since there is a competition, then you can't let the water go. How did you do it in previous years, and how do you do it this year!" It can't be so easy!

Before Li Xingguo could stand up and say a few words, He Zhengye, who has always been cheerful and never gets involved in these matters, couldn't help but persuade him: "Old Pan, it's almost done. Don't involve the younger generation in matters of the older generation." Besides, the grandson of the old Li Tou is not in our line of work." The implication is that you should not be unreasonable.

"I..." Pan Fengmao rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and took the initiative to give in a step: "That's fine, but there must be a dish for them to cook together? Otherwise, how can they be divided?"

The others all nodded.

This is true, the apprentices brought here are all proficient in their own cuisines, and it is really difficult for them to compete with several different dishes. It is better to adopt Pan Fengmao's words, a unified dish, A dish that each is proficient in.

This is very fair.

After everyone's discussion, the unified dish was stir-fried potato shreds.

Although this dish is unremarkable, no matter if you are a restaurant chef or a housewife, anyone who knows how to cook this dish will definitely know how to cook it. The method is simple and the finished product is delicious. It is the favorite dish of many people.

But what it tests are the chefs' knife skills, heat, and seasoning.A delicious stir-fried potato shreds pay attention to the fact that the shredded potatoes can pass through pinholes, mixed with green peppers and stir-fried on high heat, and finally asked Yihao to break the raw potatoes, put a shredded potato into the mouth, and gently close the teeth for a little chewing.It should not only have a crisp and delicious taste, but also be very tasty.The combination of the two requirements is a nightmare for most chefs at the beginning of their medical studies.

Especially Jin Lin, who has only been studying art for less than two years, applauded his round and lovely face immediately, and muttered in a low voice: "It's potato shreds again, it's terrible..." The little complaint attracted Jin Leyu beside him Unceremoniously, a chestnut: "I told you that you don't practice much basic skills on weekdays, so you are panicking now."

Jin Lin blushed and retorted: "It's... not!"

He, he just didn't want to fry shredded potatoes anymore.

God knows that there was a time when he almost vomited after eating the potato shreds he fried!

Ghosts want to touch it!
