Chapter 1236: Can Do Anything

Qin Li left the kitchen, and Fu Yu continued to cook the longevity peaches.

At this time, Liu Yongping accompanied Qin Li all the way to the hall. He originally planned to say a few more polite words. After all, they were introduced by friends. They met for the first time and got to know each other. They would be familiar with each other in the future.

At this time, the waiter in charge of welcoming guests ran over: "Boss, the chef Lu from Donglaishun is here. Manager Mo is entertaining them at the front desk. Do you need to go over?"

Liu Yongping was a little surprised when he heard it: "Really? OK, I'll go over now."

Qin Li hurriedly said: "Boss Liu, you go ahead. I'll just go to the second floor to take a look."

Liu Yongping nodded, waved to the waiter to entertain Qin Li, and he quickly went to the front desk.

Lu Zhanlong was chatting with Mo Xinyi in a familiar manner. When he saw Liu Yongping coming over, Lu Zhanlong turned around and waved his hand with a smile: "Boss Liu!"

Liu Yongping came forward and asked curiously: "Hey, what brings you here? Why didn't you call in advance?"

Lu Zhanlong explained: "I just took a day off today. I originally wanted to go to the technology exhibition to find Chef Fu to have dinner together in the evening, but Chef Li said he came to the hotel. Did your hotel accept a birthday banquet?"

Liu Yongping nodded: "Yes, a friend helped to contact him. The reservation was originally made at Fu Keyuan, but they didn't arrange it well. This order wanted to be moved to noon, but the customer didn't agree, so Just cancel the order and change it to the banquet we booked here. "

Lu Zhanlong said with a smile: "Fu Keyuan is responsible for this matter. It has been booked, but they still want to move the time. They deserve it for their business being more and more sluggish in recent years."

After that, he asked again: "Why did you call Xiao Fu back? If you can't handle it here, Chef Li will have to come out, right?"

Liu Yongping said: "I can handle the cooking of dishes. The main thing is that the customer ordered a longevity peach at the last minute. Isn't this a friend relationship? I hurriedly called Xiao Fu back. With him, there is no need to worry about making longevity peaches. Xiao Fu can do it."

After listening to Liu Yongping, Lu Zhanlong suddenly looked unbelievable.

It is amazing that a chef who specializes in red cases can do white case work, but he can also make old-fashioned pastry longevity peaches?

However, if this person is Fu Yu, it is not so difficult to accept.

Lu Zhanlong took a day off today. He originally wanted to take the opportunity of dinner in the evening to get closer to Fu Yu.

Friends, frequent visits can deepen the relationship better.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yu was temporarily transferred back to the restaurant, and was responsible for cooking birthday peaches.

Lu Zhanlong immediately asked with great interest: "Hey, Boss Liu, is it convenient for you to visit? I really want to see Xiao Fu making birthday peaches. I haven't seen this old-fashioned pastry for a few years. I didn't expect that Xiao Fu could even make this."

Liu Yongping heard it and said readily: "Okay, then I'll take you there. I just accompanied the customer to the white case to take a look. Xiao Fu is making it."

Lu Zhanlong was happy: "Great, I'm really curious, let's go!"

It is a bit impolite to visit the back kitchen of other people's restaurants casually.

After all, the back kitchen is not like other places. Generally, restaurants have their own secret dishes. In many cases, the cooking process cannot be made public, and things about hygiene and personnel management here are often more private.

Liu Yongping's generous attitude made Lu Zhanlong feel very happy. He felt that Boss Liu was indeed very generous, a worthy friend, and a person with no airs, especially he was very sincere.

However, these feelings were just fleeting thoughts. Lu Zhanlong was most concerned about Fu Yu's situation at this time.

When he arrived at the white case, he saw Fu Yu kneading the dough again.

The largest eight-stuffed longevity peaches were already in the steamer, and Fu Yu began to make auspicious longevity peaches.

The auspicious longevity peaches are small in size and take a short time to steam.

They will all be finished in a while, and it is estimated that they can be served at about the same time as the eight-stuffed longevity peaches.

After drying for a while, they will be served on the table after being arranged on a plate. The time should be just right to catch up with the opening of the birthday banquet.

Fu Yu arranged the time very carefully in his mind. While he was busy, he saw Liu Yongping coming back, followed by Lu Zhanlong.

Fu Yu looked at them with some surprise.

Liu Yongping greeted with a smile: "Xiao Fu, Chef Lu came to visit you specially."

Lu Zhanlong immediately smiled and said: "I was planning to treat you to dinner tonight, but I heard from Chef Li that you came here."

Fu Yu smiled and nodded: "This is really a coincidence, I also received the notice at the last minute."

As Fu Yu spoke, he did not stop kneading the dough.

Because he was just making a few birthday peaches, he kneaded the dough by hand directly, without using the dough kneading machine on the white case.

There are actually some differences between the dough kneaded by hand and the dough kneaded by machine, both in terms of flexibility and taste after steaming.

It's just that the restaurant has a large number of orders, and it is impossible to knead the dough manually, so this work is entrusted to the machine to complete.

Liu Yongping watched Fu Yu's skillful kneading of dough, and thought about his superb cooking skills in red case cooking, and couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Liu, I really envy you for being able to discover such a talented person from afar!"

"No wonder you are so successful in the circle, your vision is really excellent, I regret it now, why didn't I get to know you earlier!"

Lu Zhanlong said these words very sincerely, and Liu Yongping's vanity was immediately satisfied after hearing this.

Being able to get to know Fu Yu and successfully invite him to study at the flagship store has always been Liu Yongping's most proud and proud thing recently.

However, I feel that I have done something beautiful, so I can only secretly feel happy in my heart. Now that I am praised by others in person, it definitely feels more pleasant.

Now that Lu Zhanlong praised him so much, Liu Yongping was very happy.

Liu Yongping smiled and patted Lu Zhanlong on the shoulder, and said seriously: "It's not too late now. I'll invite Xiao Fu over now, won't we get acquainted with each other?"

Lu Zhanlong smiled, but thought in his heart, can it be the same?

The favor of promotion and support was a help in times of need, but by his time, it was already too late.

But fortunately, the icing on the cake is friendship. Anyway, I have a relationship with Fu Yu. As long as you are willing, you can just take your time in the future.

Lu Zhanlong joked with Liu Yongping, and his attention quickly focused on Fu Yu: "Xiao Fu, I really didn't expect that you can make Shoudao? This thing is an authentic old-fashioned pastry. Now It doesn’t seem to be too common in the world.”

"I find that you seem to know everything and can do anything!"

When Fu Yu heard this, he immediately smiled: "Chef Lu, you're just kidding me. I just learned from the master from my hometown before. I'm not very good at it. I can barely do it."

At this time, Fu Yu had just finished kneading the dough, so he started filling the stuffing and kneading the longevity peaches.

At the same time, Qin Li went to the second floor to take a look at the seating arrangement of the banquet. He went down to the second floor with satisfaction and stood at the door of the hotel to greet his relatives and friends who came to attend the birthday banquet tonight.

He is a software development engineer. He usually has a wide network of contacts and is very popular.

Everyone who knows him knows that he is filial. This year is his 70th birthday, which is very memorable. Qin Lili wants to hold a birthday party for his mother. Everyone is very understanding and willing to come and join in the fun.

There were too many people coming, so after some calculation, we simply booked the second floor of Fuchengchun Hotel.

Qin Li is an only son, and he is organizing a birthday party for his mother. He has no brothers or sisters inside or outside who can help him, but fortunately he still has a bunch of brothers.

He followed the guests on the first floor for a while, then returned to the second floor to take care of his mother.

The old lady was very happy being accompanied and coaxed by her son.

When people get older, they like to join in the fun.

Her son held a birthday party for her with filial piety, which made the old lady very happy. She wore new festive clothes in a special manner, and her hair was carefully combed. Her whole body looked radiant, and she even took out all the jewelry that she was usually reluctant to wear. , after careful matching, I wore it on my body.

In addition to Qin Li's friends, the guests present today, some of his mother's old friends and old neighbors at home were also invited to the birthday banquet.

The old lady stayed on the second floor for a while and didn't see the old sisters with whom she was close, so she made a fuss and wanted to wait at the door of the hotel.

When the old lady was young, she had a very cheerful personality and did things neatly. Whatever she thought of, she would finish it immediately.

Now that I am getting older, I am more willful. When my thoughts come together, I immediately don’t care if there is anyone on the second floor responsible for reception. I just want to go to the door of the hotel to greet the guests.

Qin Li has always been filial, and his mother wanted to greet the guests at the door. He quickly called his close friends to help with the reception, while he helped his mother to the door of the hotel on the first floor.

Fuchengchun is a well-known intangible cultural heritage fish feast restaurant. Many customers come here because of its reputation, and business is usually very prosperous.

Today, suddenly the entire second floor refused to accept guests. For a while, many customers who came specifically to dine but could not get a seat began to complain.

Some people with connections even found out that the second floor was not accepting customers because the store had received an order for a birthday banquet.

Who is this kind of person?

This is the Fucheng Chun Hotel. The cheapest dish for a table is seven to eight hundred. If we book the entire second floor, and the dishes are a little more upscale, plus drinks, how much will it cost?

Customers waiting for their meals were chattering in the waiting area.

At this time, those with sharp eyes saw a mother and son in very eye-catching clothes walking down the stairs from the second floor.

The man is average-looking and dressed quite festively, but overall he looks generous and decent.

However, looking back at the old man he was supporting, he was decked out in jewels. The emerald jade necklace hanging around his neck was definitely priceless.

The main reason is that he is so old, he is willing to wear it, and he is wearing such a high-end and cheerful outfit, so the jewelry he wears will definitely not be fake.

From the staircase on the second floor to the hotel entrance, if you don't take a detour, just go straight forward and you will pass by the waiting area.

Qin Li helped his mother move forward without noticing that someone beside him quietly picked up his mobile phone and started taking pictures of them.

As the guests began to arrive one after another, the crowd attracted more and more attention as they walked from the first floor to the second floor.

The customers waiting for their meal all speculated about the true identity of the customer hosting the birthday banquet.

At this time, Fu Yu put all the auspicious birthday peaches in the steamer and started steaming them.

In the meantime, pick out the plates that will be used to serve the food later.

Fucheng Chun specializes in making anchovy dishes, and they have plates of all sizes.

Fu Yu picked out a pure white porcelain plate with a shallow bottom. Before the peaches were steamed, he had already sketched out the specific design of the plate in his mind.

Lu Zhanlong came to the white case to watch Fu Yu cooking on a whim. Actually, he just wanted to watch the fun.

After all, different trades are like different mountains. He knew nothing about white case cooking and was not very interested in the tricks.

However, even if he didn't understand the details of the operation, just by looking at Fu Yu's actions, Lu Zhanlong could see that it was not easy to make the longevity peach.

Because in addition to the dough, it also needs to be filled.

The amount of fillings, the thickness of the dough, the taste of the fusion of the two, the control of the heat during steaming, these step-by-step operations, any problem in any part will definitely affect the color, aroma and taste of the longevity peach in the end.

Lu Zhanlong, an outsider, watched with relish, and the white case chef's eyes lit up.

Fu Yu's control of the feel of the dough case is very strong.

The white case chef was very touched by his handling of some operational details. He swallowed his saliva, wanted to say something but stopped, and his excited face was a little red.

However!

When Fu Yu was cooking, he was so absorbed in his work that it was hard for him to pay attention to other things around him.

When no one asked him questions, Fu Yu would always be busy in silence unless he thought it was necessary to remind outsiders or communicate with others.

The chef stood by and watched. Seeing that Fu Yu was silent, he had a lot of questions in his mind but didn't dare to speak, fearing that he would disturb the other person's cooking.

Soon, the peaches in the steamer were cooked one after another. Fu Yu quickly turned off the fire and took the steamer off the pot without even opening it to check, ready to cool.

The chef couldn't help but ask: "Chef Fu, don't you even open the lid to take a look?"

Fu Yu casually said: "It needs to be simmered for another two minutes. The filling is still a little less cooked."

The chef was stunned and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "This, you can judge it without opening the lid to take a look?"

Fu Yu nodded: "Yes, I just looked at the concentration of the heat according to the reservation of the heat and time, and estimated that it should be about the same."

The chef didn't know what to say for a while.

Isn't this too casual?

And, according to the concentration of the heat?

What does it mean?

Judging the degree of steaming by the heat coming out of the steamer?

This works too?

The chef's eyes moved from the steamer to Fu Yu, and for a while, he was very curious about the state of the longevity peaches in the pot. (End of this chapter)
