Chapter 2199 Secret Weapon

The specific thing is that the official acquired this area and planned to develop it into a garden scenic spot. The location of his hotel is excellent, and the decoration is a wooden building, so Master Li discussed with the official whether he could just not demolish it. Anyway, Even scenic spots must have hotels.

After a series of official evaluations, if you keep it, you will pay less in demolition fees, but you will also receive less rent, because after it is built and rented out, you can receive a lot of small money every year.

The two sides argued endlessly, and finally the official side relented and agreed to give him a chance, but they needed to show their own value.

In other words, Master Li and the others must prove that the significance of the hotel's existence is more important than demolition, or to put it simply, the value of leaving the hotel is greater. After all, if there is an old restaurant with good taste in a scenic spot, It’s also quite attractive to tourists.

Official planning never talks about feelings. The main reason is that there are successful examples in Chengdu. Taoxi Road can be preserved under the package of many shopping malls, but it is not at all because of feelings.

Therefore, the two parties finally reached a consensus, that is, when the restaurant cooks a table of dishes, the official side will arrange for 50 judges to come over to eat. No matter who is arranged, as long as more than 80% of people think it is delicious, it will pass the test. .

The word "delicious" is easy to say and difficult to say. It is said that it is difficult to agree with everyone. Who knows who is coming to eat. It is indeed not easy to make something that basically everyone likes, but this is already the best result.

Longyue Hotel agrees with it from top to bottom, and I hope they can follow the name of their hotel this time and step forward to Longyue.

Everyone cherishes this hard-won opportunity, but they also know in their hearts that based on their current hotel strength, there is only a 20% chance of success. This is all a good thing.

And Master Li also knew this. For this opportunity, he spent all his brains, efforts, and favors, and finally gained some confidence.

After nearly a month of preparation, the result is finally coming tonight, so the kitchen is a busy scene.

Although Master Li said this, Xiao Ding still felt uneasy in his heart, "Master Li, can the food cooked in our restaurant satisfy those people?"

"Most of the results were unknown before, but with that person's help, I think there is still hope, and the hope is great." Master Li felt very happy when he talked about this.

"Are you talking about Chef Yuan?" Xiao Ding pointed in the direction of Rongcheng. Seeing Master Li nodding, he said again: "But didn't you learn from Chef Cheng this time?"

This time, Master Li spent a lot of money in order to keep the hotel.

He went to the same school as Cheng Zhaomei when he was studying. Naturally, they didn't know each other very well before. They only had some contact after they entered the chef circle together, but not much. There was a big difference in their levels.

And since Cheng Zhaomei became Yuan Zhou's direct disciple, his status has increased even more, and his contacts have become less and less.

This time Master Li was at the end of his rope, so he had no choice but to go to Technician Cheng hoping to get some help from him.

Although as the president of the Sichuan Cuisine Association, he still feels a bit sad when a master of Master Li's level encounters such a thing, but official matters are not something he can intervene at all, unless Yuan Zhou speaks up.

However, Technician Cheng didn't want to trouble the master about this matter. To be precise, he wanted to use this back door.

Finally, Technician Cheng came up with an idea. Now that he had gotten an opportunity, if Master Li could improve his cooking skills and have one or two dishes that could be put on the table as a signature, the chances of winning would definitely be greater.

Of course, before implementing this plan, Technician Cheng made a special trip to see Yuan Zhou and explained the matter clearly, including his own plans. Only after obtaining Yuan Zhou's permission did he start to train Master Li.

Yuanzhou was quite sympathetic to Master Li's experience, and specifically told Cheng Zhaomei to wait until the training was completed and let him cook his specialty dishes for him to eat. The implication was that he wanted to give him some guidance.

At that time, Master Li was so happy that he couldn't find any clues. He was not very confident in this method at first, and he felt as if he had been given a shot of blood.

The name Yuanzhou has become mythical in the eyes of Sichuan cuisine chefs.

Thinking of some of the tips he got from meeting Yuan Zhou before coming back, Master Li felt so excited that he couldn't help but feel excited.

Now after hearing Xiao Ding's words, he immediately said proudly: "Although Chef Yuan did not train him personally, it was done by Chef Yuan's direct disciples. The most important thing is that Chef Yuan also gave me some tips. I think there must be no questionable."

When Master Li picked up Xiao Ding, he was still young. He has always raised Xiao Ding as his son. In addition, Master Li has never been married. Xiao Ding has already planned to start learning cooking skills from Master Li, and he can be regarded as the successor of the craftsmanship. , but was extremely patient with him.

"That person is so famous, but he still cares about such a trivial matter like ours?" Xiao Ding felt a little incredible.

Although he is still a small cook, not even a fourth-class chef, just a handyman, it does not prevent him from hearing about Yuan Zhou's reputation, and is even more familiar with Yuan Zhou's affairs. Naturally, he knows that Yuan Zhou is now a What status.

To them, this matter about their hotel is like the sky is falling, but compared to personal exhibitions, Sino-Japanese exchange meetings and other things that promote Chinese food culture, it is really nothing.

"Chef Yuan is not only good at cooking, but also has incredible cooking ethics. Otherwise, can we award him the Sichuan Cuisine Veteran Chef Achievement Award?" Master Li also has great respect for Yuan Zhou.

"That's true." Xiao Ding nodded in agreement.

In fact, it didn't take much time for the two of them to communicate. The kitchen was filled with heat and the range hood was rumbling. Master Li saw that the time was almost up. With a solemn expression on his face, he began to stand in front of his exclusive stove. Prepare his two killer dishes.

One of the most famous things in Qingcheng Mountain is definitely the old bacon, so the first dish that Master Li trained was the twice-cooked bacon with garlic sprouts, using the local specialty old bacon, which can be regarded as using local materials.

Of course, there is no aged bacon in the traditional Qingcheng Four Specialties. In order to cater to the tourist resources, the second dish is one of the specialties, ginkgo stewed chicken.

After the special training of recruiting girls, and Yuan Zhou asking a few words, Master Li was already very familiar with these two dishes. After this blessing, naturally it is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Now that Master Li is cooking these two dishes, not only does he look much more agile than before, but his speed is also improved.

Time passed very quickly, and just as Master Li and the others started preparing intensively, the official people and the judges were about to arrive at Longyue Hotel.
