Chapter 211 The Four Treasures of Famous Dishes A Hundred Years Ago (4000-character chapter!)

Chen Chong, Li Xiang and others met and went directly to the main store of the "Zhao Sihai's audition food stall"!

This is Zhao Si’s base camp. Since Chen Chong and others have come to the city center, they naturally want to fulfill their friendship as a landlord!

"Tsk tsk... Look at this person's traffic, it's really terrifying!"

"Isn't this nonsense? Not only is the delicious square located in the center of Longjiang City, it is still surrounded by famous business districts. In addition, it is close to the ancient town of Longjiang, so there are countless tourists from other places alone."

"Yes, in addition, there are many entertainment venues around the Delicious Plaza. Those night owls will basically go to this street to have midnight snacks until the early morning, and there will be a large table when you sit."

"I'm so fucking envy!"

"If I could open a roast duck restaurant here, I can guarantee that I would definitely sell the ducks to the point of extinction!"

As soon as the group stepped into the delicious square, they couldn't help but sucked in a cold breath and were amazed.

The spacious streets are extremely crowded, with the bustling voices of people, and all kinds of neon lights flashing, reflecting the stars in the sky. Whether you close your eyes or open your eyes, you can clearly feel the terrifying traffic.

It is no exaggeration to say that the delicious square is simply the favorite of heaven. As long as you can open a store here, you will definitely soar into the sky!

"This place is indeed good. In terms of geographical location, it can definitely be ranked among the top three in Longjiang." Zhao Si sighed and continued: "However, there are advantages and disadvantages. A good location will easily make the merchants here feel superior and form small groups, which is very xenophobic. Once outsiders enter, they will attack them in groups! Therefore, if you open a store here, in addition to constantly improving the business system of your restaurant, you must also strictly prevent the calculations of people with ulterior motives. Once it is not handled properly, you may fall into a disaster at any time. It would be fine to close the door, but it would be a big trouble to be famous."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chong and others looked at Zhao Si in surprise, and obviously heard the helplessness and sorrow that appeared in this passage. No one responded at the moment, so as not to become more and more chaotic and destroy the atmosphere with white blood.

"Here, this is my store." Zhao Si suddenly stopped and raised his hand to point to the right.

Through the crowds coming and going, Chen Chong and others saw a restaurant with a grand, magnificent and crowded decoration at a glance!

A large plaque is hung above the door, with several ancient characters "Zhao Si Seafood Food Stall" carved on it, and a few small searchlights below illuminate the plaque from bottom to top, which is grand and magnificent.

Below the plaque and searchlight, there is a very long and narrow LED display screen, with words such as "The top ten seafood stalls in Longjiang City" and "The whole market is discounted at 8.5, only today'.

This is undoubtedly a scheming marketing method. When passers-by understand the excellent strength of the restaurant, they will launch the temptation of discounts and mobilize the interest of passers-by as much as possible.

Chen Chong estimated that the so-called "today only" should be fake. Perhaps the purpose of these four words is like those clothing stores that say they want to "clear up the warehouse and special handling for the last three days". After a few months or years, they still say this.

Under Zhao Si's leadership, Chen Chong and others came to the private room prepared in advance, closed the door, and isolated the hustle and bustle of inquiries. They could only feel the lively atmosphere outside through the transparent glass around them.

After Chen Chong and others came to the table, they looked at each other, and they all shook their heads with smiles.

The purpose of installing transparent glass is still a marketing method! It makes the outside guests envy the guests inside, and also makes the guests inside feel superior, thus imprinting the restaurant in the hearts of all guests.

Use comparison and gap to indirectly enhance the influence of restaurants.

Of course, Chen Chong's restaurant also has this form, which is the second floor area exclusive to Level 9 foodies. The only difference is that Zhao Si did it intentionally, while Chen Chong acted unintentionally.

"The store of Lao Zhao is really good in scale, with many customers, comprehensive service, and more complete management. Look, the delivery of dishes, ordering of food, and clean and clean. Everyone seems to be busy, but they are well organized, and even the movements seem to have been professionally trained." Fatty Li sighed.

"Yes, compared to Lao Zhao, our restaurant is just a small fuss." Aunt Bai shook her head.

Chen Chong's eyes were bright when he heard it beside him. Perhaps he could learn management experience from Zhao Si to improve the existing chaos in his restaurant.

To be honest, although his restaurant business is booming and customers are lined up honestly, this is not a long-term solution. As his popularity becomes more and more popular, the proportion of old customers will become less and less, and new customers will become more and more. In this case, it is obviously not feasible to rely solely on the consciousness of the guests.

Management is a science... but Chen Chong doesn't know how to do it at all!

Normally, he would at most run to the front hall and shout "There is no food" or "I'll come again tomorrow" and make customers complain.

When Chen Chong was thinking like this, others were also thinking about the same problem. It seemed that they were all attracted by Zhao Si's management methods.

However, if they were in the past, they would not take it seriously at all, because the food street was too sluggish and the few customers did not need a management model at all.

However, it is different now, because Chen Chong, the food street has ushered in a recovery!

The sudden increase in guests these days made them rush and gradually realized the importance of ‘management’.

"Okay, all the dishes have been arranged for you. I will eat open tonight. Take whatever I want to drink." Zhao Si opened the door and said generously.

"Haha, be careful that these two fat immortals will eat you up!" Qiu Tong pointed at Fatty Li and Fatty Hu Er and said with a smile.

"Just eat when you have enough, it just saves energy." Zhao Si sat with everyone, and did not intend to go out to greet the guests.

"Save physical strength?" Everyone didn't understand the meaning of these four words.

"To be honest, this store has a week's lease," Zhao Si spread his hands.

"Renew the lease." Li Xiang said.

"I can't continue." Zhao Si's mouth felt bitter, "Just just now, my employees told me that all the merchants in Haodian Square voted for me at the shareholders' meeting and unanimously expelled me."

"This..." Everyone opened their mouths, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Actually, it's nothing. Although this bird place has a good geographical location, it's too depressing to do business here. I'm really tired." Zhao Si dissipated a cigarette for everyone, "I won't talk about my business anymore. By the way, tomorrow is the final. Xiao Chen, have you thought about what kind of dishes you are ready to cook? If possible, can you tell us in advance and let Lao Li and I prepare in advance, so as not to drag you down."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately changed their sight and locked in Chen Chong.

It has to be said that the cooking skills Chen Chong showed today not only shocked the judges and audiences, but also the same people.

After all, in the past, they only knew that Chen Chong cooked delicious food and had good cooking skills, but they didn't know how good it was.

"Have I asked you to buy something for me?" Chen Chong suddenly spoke, but what he said was completely incompatible with what everyone was concerned about.

"Oh, Xiaodao, right? I bought it." Li Xiang was stunned for two seconds before she realized it. She took out a small box from her bag that had not been opened, and there was a very textured small carving knife inside, "What are you going to do with this?"

"This thing is related to the dish to be cooked tomorrow." Chen Chong took the box, took it apart, picked up a knife and looked at the light. It was very sharp and small.

"What kind of dish?" Li Xiang frowned, completely unable to figure out what such a small thing could be used for.

"I wonder if you have ever heard of the 'Four Treasures'?" Chen Chong smiled slightly.

"What kind of food? What kind of dish... I haven't heard of it at all." Fatty Li shook his head first.

"I seem to have heard of it." Zhao Si thought for a long time and suddenly spoke, "This dish seems to be a very old traditional dish."

"How long does it take?" Li Xiang asked.

"As far as I know, this dish was passed down by a royal chef of the court more than a hundred years ago. It was originally called "Sansansans". Later, after continuous improvement and improvement, it formed "Sansansansansans". There is a saying specifically used to describe this dish, called "I would rather eat four liang of birds than half a pound of animals." Zhao Si said.

"According to what you said, this dish should be difficult, right?" Qiu Tong smacked his lips. In such a long history, the "Four Treasures" is definitely a legend in the food industry.

"It's really difficult, so in Longjiang, few people have heard or seen this dish." Zhao Si nodded, "This dish can be said to be one dish or four dishes!"

"What does it mean?" Fat Li was puzzled.

"Because there are four main ingredients, chicken, duck, pigeon, and quail." Zhao Si reached out and compared it with a 'four' gesture, and then continued: "The characteristic of the four treasures is that the word 'four' is that the four birds are arranged layer by layer, each of which is complete, without a single bone. From the outside, it is just a chicken, but when you finish eating the chicken, there will be ducks, and then pigeons and quails. The taste, taste and flavor of each one are completely different, so it is okay to say it is a dish, and it is also OK to say it is four dishes!"

"Oh my God, it's too complicated..." Fatty Li subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking worried. He was not worried about Chen Chong, but about himself. He was afraid that the tasks he was about to be assigned exceeded his technical scope.

"What I'm talking about is the form of this dish. The specific method should be more difficult and complicated." Zhao Si smiled bitterly, and his eyes looked at Chen Chong with more respect.

Since then, the dish can be said, it means you will definitely be able to make it!

It is hard to imagine that a food street that is almost demolished actually hides such a chef master, and he has tried to challenge the other party!

Ridiculous, really ridiculous!

"Can't you have a slightly simple dish?" Fatty Li muttered.

"I also want to make a simple dish, but unfortunately the final is not allowed." Chen Chong shook his head, "Although the rules of the final are the same as the first round, they require a dish to be completed within 30 minutes. On the surface, the final is simpler than the first round, because the rules remain unchanged, the number of team members has increased to three. For example, if three people are going to complete this dish, it will definitely be very easy.

But I can guarantee that Dashi Dai and Wangjiang Pavilion will definitely think of this. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to distinguish between ordinary dishes, so you can only choose dishes with higher difficulty!"

"Chen Chong is right. The Wang surname of the Dashi Age and Luo Feng from Wangjiang Pavilion are both rare geniuses in the kitchen. Ordinary dishes are not difficult for them at all, and they are meaningless." Charlie Zhou nodded in agreement.

"I understand the truth, it's just that... I'm worried that I won't be able to help you at that time." Fatty Li sighed, "Xiao Chen, please tell us more specific so that we can have a clear idea."

"No problem." Chen Chong agreed with a mouthful, "As Boss Zhao said, the Four Treasures are indeed composed of four materials: 'chicken, duck, pigeon, and quail'. The taste is original, mellow and rich, fat and tender, not greasy, and many changes, refreshing and delicious, with a long aftertaste and rich fragrance.

The difficulty of this dish is to ‘removal of bones’. If you want to cover each of the four ingredients and fill them with water, you must completely remove the bones of the ingredients.”

At this point, Chen Chong shook the knife in his hand, "In order to preserve the appearance of the ingredients, bone removal can only be done inside the ingredients, so this knife is used, and there cannot be extra movements during the bone removal process, otherwise it is very easy to cut the cortex of the ingredients. If it is cut, the ingredients will be invalid."

"That... Xiao Chen...is this too hard to do? Look at my hand, it's a bigger circle than a quail, I'm afraid it's..." Fatty Li became more and more embarrassed as he heard it.

"Don't worry, I will handle the bone removal step. You are mainly responsible for other steps, such as blanching the ingredients, removing the fishy smell, preparing ingredients and seasonings, etc.," Chen Chong comforted.

"Hehe...is it right?" Fatty Li scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

According to Chen Chong, the two of them don’t seem to have much effect in tomorrow’s finals...

"Don't underestimate the treatment of side dishes." Chen Chong saw Fatty Li's thoughts and explained: "The steps to remove bones are not simple, and they even consume a lot of time. So when I remove bones, you can help me get more time, otherwise it would be impossible to complete this dish in thirty minutes."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Li and Zhao Si breathed a little relieved. What they were most worried about now was that they would not be able to help tomorrow's game.

Bang bang...

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside. Zhao Si opened the door and saw that it was the waiter at his food stall.

"Is there anything wrong?" he asked.

"Well.."

The waiter looked at Chen Chong and others in the room, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"It's okay, they are all my friends. If you have something to do, just say it." Zhao Si said without hesitation.

"Boss, that Liu Yuan is here, and he is bringing a group of people and calling out his surname to ask you to go out." The waiter has followed Zhao Si for many years, and naturally knows Liu Yuan's background, and also knows that this person has always wanted to destroy his boss.

"Did he say something?" Zhao Si asked, picking up the cell phone on the table.

"It seems to be asking you... to let you..." The waiter couldn't continue.

"Say, it's okay." Zhao Si encouraged, letting the former not worry about his own feelings.

"Uh... he said he asked you to get out of the delicious square as soon as possible. Now there are many people watching outside." The waiter pointed at the direction of the door.

"This guy really won't miss any chance to bully me." Zhao Si took a deep breath, turned to Chen Chong and others and said 'Wait for me for a while', and then followed the waiter out.

"What should I do?" Seeing Zhao Si leaving angrily, Aunt Bai looked worried.

"Go out and take a look. I want to see what Liu Yuan wants to do again." Fatty Li slammed the table and said, "Don't forget, his people still owe us a handstand!"

"Walk."

Everyone had no objection and stood up one after another.
