Food Circle Plug-in Emperor

The TV station sincerely wants to entertain the distinguished guests, and the dishes ordered are all specialties from the capital.

Some of them are prepared to be customized directly from outside. Several hot dishes that require Lu Zhanlong's spoon are signature dishes selected from Dong Laishun's menu.

Among them is the sheep and scorpion pot.

This dish was specially ordered by the leader and must be served.

If you want to make lamb and scorpion stew in pot, you don't just need kitchen utensils. You also need to make soup and mix ingredients.

Dong Laishun uses a casserole that has been maintained for many years in the store to make this dish. If it is not cooked in the original pot, the stew will not produce the same flavor.

In addition, the secret stew cannot be revealed to outsiders.

Especially here is a TV station. This room was formerly a studio hall. All kinds of video equipment are set up there. If the entire cooking process is recorded, the secret recipe of the store cannot be kept.

After considering many aspects, Lu Zhanlong said directly: "Director Wang, I want to cook here, but the equipment is not good, and since we are cooking special dishes of our store, it is too troublesome to transport the ingredients back and forth."

Hearing Lu Zhanlong's words, Wang Zheng hurriedly explained: "The guests we want to entertain this time are not convenient for dining out."

Wang Zheng also realized at this time that if the table could not be arranged well, it would have a huge impact on their TV station.

After all, this time we are going to negotiate the contract at the dinner table. With good food and drinks, the atmosphere is up, which makes it easier to negotiate things.

Kong Lin stood nearby with a dull expression on her face. She seemed to have no reaction, but in fact, she was breathing rapidly and her chest was bulging!

If outsiders weren't present, she really wanted to remind Wang Zheng.

The station director’s previous request was clearly for them to ask Chef Fu Yu from the Fucheng Chun stall to make a lamb and scorpion pot, and then order two special dishes from several well-known local restaurants to be delivered. If the dishes were not enough, Just let Fu Yu cook a few special fish dishes made by Fucheng Chun.

As a staff member of Capital TV Station, I have heard about some of the hottest things on the Internet, including the newly launched lamb and scorpion pot at Fucheng Chun's stall in the food area of ​​the Science and Technology Exhibition.

It is said that this dish is more delicious than those made by several local restaurants in the capital that specialize in cooking lamb and scorpion.

Because this event is so popular, many people who love to eat and appreciate food flock to check in.

However, due to the sharp increase in the number of orders received at the stall, the chef was overwhelmed, so a limited supply was started. It is said that after the science and technology exhibition is over, this dish will be taken off the shelves and will no longer be sold.

After all, Fucheng Chun was originally a dish featuring river fish cooking. This lamb and scorpion pot was cooked by an outside chef, so it was temporarily promoted.

So, for a while, this dish attracted attention again, and the popularity was very high.

The director asked the female celebrity to taste this dish. It was also because of this gimmick that it seemed very sincere.

In the end, Wang Zheng made a phone call to make an appointment for service, and he was so pretentious that he directly offended people.

It is one thing if a table of dishes cannot be customized as scheduled and it is difficult for the leadership to communicate well. What if the female celebrity cannot be entertained well and the event arrangement in the station is affected, how much will the loss be?

Lu Zhanlong said: "Go to our hotel. There are private rooms specially designed for entertaining distinguished guests. You don't have to go through the main entrance of the hotel to go in and out. Cars go out on the back streets and don't attract anyone's attention."

Well-known hotels like this usually reserve private rooms specifically for VIP guests. After all, there are many customers with special status who are not convenient to appear in public view.

When Wang Zheng heard this, he quickly asked: "Chef Lu, is there anything wrong with this table of dishes?"

Lu Zhanlong was stunned when he was asked: "What's the question? Aren't the dishes you ordered all the special dishes of our store?"

Wang Zheng is not a local in the capital, so he doesn't know much about the differences between the signature dishes of some local restaurants.

However, Kong Lin is quite familiar with this aspect. After all, she usually socializes a lot and often goes to restaurants with the leaders in the station.

When ordering a meal this time, the leader specifically told me that the lamb and scorpion pot must be served.

The sheep and scorpion hotpot made by Dong Laishun has always been made with the original clear soup, but the sheep and scorpion hotpot made by Fucheng Chun stall uploaded on the Internet is made with red soup.

These are just two dishes, right?

Previously, due to Wang Zheng's leadership status, Kong Lin had been standing aside silently.

But if we don't remind him at this time, there will definitely be problems in this meeting.

Kong Lin hurriedly said: "Chef Lu, the lamb and scorpion hotpot made by Dong Laishun Restaurant has white soup, right? Our leader told us that the customers want to eat the lamb and scorpion hotpot with red soup. Can we make it here in the store?"

Lu Zhanlong: "Sheep and scorpion hot pot with red soup? Our store does make white soup, but I also tried to make red soup sheep and scorpion hot pot before, but the taste is definitely not as good as white soup. I know someone who People, if.”

"If he is willing to help with the cooking, then this pot of lamb and scorpions will definitely taste great!"

Wang Zheng was suddenly surprised and asked: "Really? Can you invite him here?"

He had never thought that the sheep and scorpion pot cooked by Dong Laishun had white soup. He had always thought that Dong Laishun was a restaurant that mainly cooked mutton, so it must have all kinds of dishes. As the signature dish of the mutton restaurant, the sheep and scorpion soup had white soup and red soup. Soup is a very popular flavor, so of course it is also available.

But I didn’t expect that Dong Lai Shun only had sheep and scorpion hotpot with white soup.

When the boss asked to order Fu Cheng Chun's lamb and scorpion pot, Wang Zheng really didn't take it seriously. It was just lamb and scorpion, and he could order it in any restaurant.

But when he learned about Dong Laishun's situation, he was immediately dumbfounded.

It really delayed the arrangements for the banquet on the stage, which was a huge responsibility. Wang Zheng had to pay attention. He just transferred over, and the chair was not yet firmly seated.

Hearing Lu Zhanlong's words, Kong Lin also asked quickly: "Who are you looking for? Is there anyone else who makes lamb and scorpion pot very authentically?"

Lu Zhanlong said: "He is a friend of mine. In fact, he is quite famous in our food circle recently, but he used to develop in his hometown. He just came to the capital not long ago, so you may not have heard of him. He is the best at making lamb and scorpion pot that I have ever seen, and the taste is very authentic, but he is usually very low-key."

Indeed, although Fu Yu had just arrived in the capital, he quickly became famous in the food circle in a short period of time, especially since he was the champion of the National Chef Competition.

This title is quite important in the food circle.

However, Fu Yu has always been a low-key person. Although he has been popular recently, he has been quietly staying at Fucheng Chun stall to study.

If ordinary people had received such attention, they would have started their own business by relying on this wave of enthusiasm, making money everywhere, working in famous hotels, or using other channels to strike while the iron is hot to increase their fame. Anyway, no matter how it develops, it will definitely not There would be no movement at all.

After Wang Zheng heard this, he felt relieved. If he could invite this famous chef over, he wouldn't have to worry about the banquet.

He hurriedly said: "Chef Lu, that's really troublesome for you. I wonder who this friend of yours is? I can invite him over in person."

With Lu Zhanlong as his friend, Wang Zheng's resentment because he was rejected by the chef at Fucheng Chun stall has calmed down a bit.

cut!

What's so great about it, he's just a chef from a small place who came to study!

This is the capital, a place full of outstanding people, especially their capital TV station. This is a rare opportunity to show their faces.

If you miss it, go ahead and cry afterwards!

As a human being, don't think too highly of yourself.

Kong Lin also felt relieved. It would be great if she could really invite people here.

Regardless of whether the sheep and scorpion pot is authentic to Fucheng Chun stall, at least it should not be a big problem for the evening banquet.

Lu Zhanlong nodded and took out his cell phone: "Let's go to my place first. I'll contact someone right away. If we make a reservation, we have to prepare the dishes. Don't delay your dinner."

It's getting late now, and we still have to spend half a day on the way back and forth.

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhanlong lowered his head and rummaged through his address book and said casually: "My friend's name is Fu Yu. I'll call him and see if he has time to come over."

Wang Zheng and Kong Lin were stunned when they heard Fu Yu's name!

Fu Yu?

Even Chef Lu wants to ask Fu Yu for help?

Kong Lin couldn't help but ask: "Lu Chu, isn't your friend Fu Yu, the chef from Fu Cheng Chun?"

When Lu Zhanlong heard this, he immediately laughed: "So you also know Xiao Fu? That's great. Xiao Fu is very easy to talk to, and he is very low-key. He usually has no airs at all. Even though he is young, he has great cooking skills The level is still very good!”

"Oh, by the way! Have you all heard that he is the champion of this year's National Chef Competition?"

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet!

Wang Zheng took a deep breath silently.

I just thought that the champion of the National Chef Competition was too cool

Thinking of his previous attitude towards others, Wang Zheng looked extremely complicated for a moment.

Now, he can only place his hope on Lu Zhanlong, hoping that he can invite Fu Yu to take charge.

Lu Zhanlong dialed the number and contacted Fu Yu.

When the call came, Fu Yu was busy talking. He turned to Yang Zhichao and said, "Take off the phone for me and see who is calling?"

Yang Zhichao picked up the phone and glanced at the screen: "Fu Chu, this is Lu Zhanlong Lu Chu's phone number!"

Lu Zhanlong is quite famous in the capital's food circle, and Yang Zhichao also knows him.

Fu Yu was stunned: "Help me pick it up."

After the call was connected, Fu Yu heard Lu Zhanlong's voice coming from the phone: "Fu Chu, are you busy?"

Fu Yu kept shaking the spoon in his hand and said, "Chef Lu, I'm cooking, what's the matter?"

Lu Zhanlong heard Fu Yu cooking and knew that he had disturbed the other party. He quickly got to the point and said, "It's like this. A friend of mine from the Capital TV station wanted to customize a banquet because he specially ordered a red soup lamb and scorpion pot. "

When Fu Yu heard this, he knew that it must be the female reporter who contacted him before and found Dong Laishun Hotel again.

Without thinking, he refused directly: "I'm sorry, Chef Lu, I'm very busy here and I really can't spare the time, and Fuchengchun doesn't accept door-to-door service work."

In fact, given the relationship between Lu Zhanlong and Liu Yongping, if he asked, the store would definitely let him go. He just didn't want to go.

Why?

No reason, I just don’t want to go.

When Lu Zhanlong heard what Fu Yu said, he understood it quite well and said with a smile: "Okay, then I understand. Let's meet and talk again during the exchange activities."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhanlong said to Wang Zheng: "No, he is busy over there. The business in the store is relatively good, and their store does not accept door-to-door service."

After explaining, he added: "Let's go, let's go to our store first. Then I will try my best to help cook the lamb scorpion pot and red soup. Although I am not particularly good at it, it shouldn't be a big problem for ordinary banquets. .”

Wang Zheng was stunned when he heard Lu Zhanlong's words.

"Can't you please?"

Lu Zhanlong sighed regretfully: "Well, I can make this lamb and scorpion stew, but if he can come, not only will the cooking taste more authentic, but the heat of his lamb and scorpion stew is particularly good. I I’ve tasted his cooking and it’s really amazing.”

Lu Zhanlong had really carefully studied the lamb and scorpion pot dish cooked by Du Yu, especially the seasoning of the soup base and the control of the heat. He had tried it in private.

It was also because he had practiced repeatedly with his own hands that he deeply realized that Fu Yu was an extremely talented person in cooking operations, and he was also very good at mastering stewing and seasoning ratios.

As a chef, Lu Zhanlong could understand Fu Yu's situation.

The chef really doesn’t have time when he is busy, and due to the recent popularity of the Internet, the flow of customers at Fucheng Chun stall has increased rapidly.

When he contacted Liu Yongping before, he also heard the other party mention that the turnover of the stall almost exceeded that of his own restaurant.

You should know that the stall is located in the food area of ​​the science and technology event exhibition, and the usual customer flow is limited. Under such circumstances, it can reach this level of operation, which shows how busy the kitchen will be.

After Wang Zheng heard Lu Zhanlong's words, he couldn't help but fell silent.

He felt that Fu Yu must be holding a grudge. When he contacted him before, his attitude was indeed not very good.

I had underestimated the other person before, but now I realized that this person actually had a profound background. No wonder the leader named Fu Yu to do door-to-door service.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng realized the seriousness of the matter.

If it is true as Lu Zhanlong said, then I will probably have to ask Fu Yu to help cook this lamb and scorpion pot.

At this time, Wang Zheng said truthfully: "Actually, we have contacted Chef Fu before."

Hearing Wang Zheng's words, Lu Zhanlong looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Wang Zheng then told what happened when he contacted Fu Yu before and was rejected.

Suddenly, Lu Zhanlong also fell silent.

How can anyone do things like this?

In what age are we now, can we still judge people by their appearance?

No wonder when people heard it was from Capital TV, they immediately said they couldn't come over.

Don't say that you are really too busy with work and have no time. Even if you are not busy, you will definitely not come here.

Don’t you look down on people?

Then just invite others based on their ability? (End of chapter)
