As the saying goes, hearing it and seeing it are two completely different things.
"Sometimes, when a person becomes famous, he or she will gain all sorts of auras. For example, a single sentence of his or her will be interpreted into many different meanings. Therefore, I guess Head Chef Yuan is only good at one or two cuisines. I think he's quite reliable. As for the other cuisines, he's only good at them." Secretary Fang liked to see the essence of things through appearances. Of course, he didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, Yuan Zhou was too famous.
After all, a person's energy was limited. He might be good at one, two, or even three unique skills. But if he was good at all of them, he was definitely not a human. He might even be a god.
Secretary Fang stole a glance at Yuan Zhou. He had delicate features and was indeed good-looking. He definitely looked like a human.
Even Leader Zhao and Gao Fei felt that was reasonable.
"Don't stand on ceremony. I promised to treat you guys. At most, it's just a month's salary. Don't stand on ceremony," Leader Zhao said generously.
While saying that, he flipped open the menu. The first thing he saw was Sichuan Cuisine. Looking at the prices one by one, even he felt a little frightened.
"Hiss."
He took a deep breath and muttered inwardly, "Why is it so expensive? Is the Bureau of Commodity Prices really fine? "
Of course, as the leader of the Tourism Bureau, he naturally knew about the pricing of the shops. As long as the price was not clearly marked, as long as it was not stated that the fried potatoes were 18 RMB per serving, but when the customer paid the bill, it was stated that each serving was a piece, and a plate cost several hundred RMB. This was illegal.
"The existence of such a high price should have something to do with the ingredients," Leader Zhao thought. Although he understood, he still felt his liver ache. He felt that his monthly salary was probably not enough.
After flipping through several pages, he saw some familiar dishes and some unfamiliar ones. He had heard of some dishes before and some he had never heard of. For example, Cantonese Cuisine's Fly Head and Sichuan Cuisine's Turtledove Tofu.
"It's too complete," Leader Zhao said inwardly.
If the chef didn't know how to cook it or didn't cook it well, it would be a slap in the face if the dishes were displayed so openly. Furthermore, the chef that Zhou Shijie and the others highly respected couldn't possibly have any problems. Moreover, the honors he found couldn't be faked.
For a moment, Leader Zhao somewhat believed what Zhou Shijie said. However, establishing a gourmet street had always been his dream. Since he was already here, it would be a loss if he didn't try it. Thus, he had to give it a try.
Leader Zhao had this kind of reaction. As a professional chef, Gao Fei's reaction was naturally greater when he looked at the menu. Although he felt that it was impossible, he still held a faint idea that it was impossible to be good at every dish. However, such a detailed menu made Gao Fei feel that his previous idea was ridiculous.
As for Secretary Fang, he was much calmer. He didn't think too much about it. Although the price was high, he had heard of restaurants that were even more expensive than this. A restaurant that could be inspected by the leader in person was naturally not a simple restaurant. He was very clear about this.
As a secretary, he should share the worries of the leader at all times. What Secretary Fang was thinking about now was how to make the leader's inspection more thorough and perfect with the limited dishes.
Probably because he used his brain too much, Secretary Fang's eyes lit up and he had an idea. When he turned sideways and saw that the young girl who ordered the dishes hadn't come over yet, he immediately said to Leader Zhao in a low voice, "Leader, I just checked the six cuisines, namely Shandong Cuisine, Sichuan Cuisine, Suzhou Cuisine, Cantonese Cuisine, Yunnan Cuisine and Qianzhou Cuisine. In order to achieve the purpose of inspection, I think we should each order two cuisines to try. One cuisine and one cuisine. What do you think?"
The standard of two dishes per person was not bad. Moreover, there were six cuisines in the restaurant. It was just right for the three of them to divide the dishes in this way. Besides, it wouldn't be wasteful and was in line with the standard. Secretary Fang couldn't help praising himself for being so smart.
Hearing Secretary Fang's words, Leader Zhao was suddenly enlightened. In the beginning, Leader Zhao had only wanted to order some old Shandong Cuisine, such as tofu box, crispy fried locust flower, mung bean pork knuckle, dry crispy fish, crispy white pork, and other dishes that were rarely seen nowadays but required great craftsmanship. He had prepared all of them in advance.
But now, the thick menu reminded him that all the preparations he had made would be useless. For a moment, he couldn't think of any good ideas.
Secretary Fang's words came at the right time. It was a good idea.
"Then I will order Shandong Cuisine and Sichuan Cuisine. You can choose the rest," Leader Zhao said.
"Head Chef Gao, you choose first," Secretary Fang said politely.
Gao Fei thought for a while and said, "In that case, I want to try Qianzhou Cuisine and Yunnan Cuisine."
He was quite interested in the cuisines of these two provinces with a large number of ethnic minorities. He didn't eat much of them normally, so it was naturally a good idea to try Head Chef Yuan's dishes.
"The rest is mine," Secretary Fang said with a smile.
Just when the three of them decided, Su Ruoyan walked up and asked about the order, "What would you like to order, sir?"
Leader Zhao had obviously thought it through. He said, "Let's order a Swallow Making Trouble in the Sea and a Cold Braised Rabbit."
"I want a Yelang Eight Trigrams Chicken and a Niu Sa Pa," as a chef, Gao Fei naturally ordered his own specialties.
Secretary Fang was a little anxious. As a native of Sichuan, he had many opportunities to eat chili, but not many opportunities to eat Jiangsu Cuisine and Cantonese Cuisine. After flipping through the menu and seeing the dazzling variety of Jiangsu Cuisine, Cantonese Cuisine finally let out a sigh of relief. He directly ordered the common dishes. "I want a Lion's Head with Crab Meat and a Dry Stir-Fried Beef River."
"Ok. Do you need rice?" Su Ruoyan asked after taking note of the order.
Leader Zhao and Gao Fei indicated yes, but Secretary Fang indicated no. After all, the Dry Stir-Fried Beef River could be eaten as rice.
After taking note of the order, Su Ruoyan took her leave politely and went to pass the menu to Yuan Zhou who had just carried the dishes out.
Yuan Zhou took over the menu and glanced at it. He found there were a few lettuce dishes that were rarely ordered. He glanced at it curiously, "Isn't this Head Chef Gao? Are you here for a meal? "
After glancing around, he only knew Gao Fei and didn't care about the other two. Yuan Zhou then walked into the kitchen with the menu in his hand and started to cook.
After ordering the dishes, the three people finally had some free time and could watch Yuan Zhou cook.
Unfortunately, because of the obstruction of sight, as long as Yuan Zhou didn't stand at this side and use the stove facing this side, they couldn't see the whole picture and could only see half of it. Yuan Zhou's face couldn't be clearer.
Although they couldn't see Yuan Zhou's movements, they could see Yuan Zhou turning here and there with a tranquil expression without stopping. He seemed to be very busy, but didn't give off a messy feeling. Instead, it appeared very rhythmic. Just looking at it like that, they felt it was pleasing to the eye.
"It's the first time that I know a chef's cooking is so pleasing to the eye." Leader Zhao's eyes were also very sharp.
"I'm far inferior to him." Gao Fei stared at him and answered subconsciously without even blinking his eyes.
As the saying goes, "The layman watches the bustle while the connoisseur knows the artistry." Gao Fei was one of the best among the connoisseurs. Although he couldn't see the whole picture, it was shocking enough to see a little bit of it occasionally. It was no problem that his culinary skills were much better than his.
Although he had seen the video of Yuan Zhou cooking, watching the video and watching it live were two different concepts.
