"Uh..." Liu Yuebing originally wanted to say something, but was blocked by his question. All of a sudden, the chef of Xinghualou's face flushed red, and he was almost internally injured by Li Yuan's question.
Liu Yuebing managed to slow down, looked at Li Yuan and asked loudly, "You don't know who Huang Danyang is?"
"Is he a big star?" Seeing Liu Yuebing who was clearly excited, Li Yuan smiled cautiously and said, "Well... Although I usually watch entertainment shows, I only pay attention to beautiful female stars. This Huang Danyang must be a man, no wonder I have no idea!"
Liu Yuebing said angrily, "It's true that Huang Danyang is a man, but he's not an entertainment star!"
"Then it's even more impossible for me to know!" Li Yuan said innocently: "You can't just say the name of a passer-by, I should know it, right?"
Unbearable Liu Yuebing shook his head and said: "Huang Danyang is not an ordinary person! He is a famous gourmet in the country, and he is like a referee on the court in the catering circle! As long as he praises the restaurant, there will be no unpopular restaurants. More than three years ago, he tasted my dishes and praised them greatly, which is why Xinghualou has such a good business."
Li Yuan suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder you are so nervous, Brother Liu."
"This time I am more nervous about you." Liu Yuebing said to Li Yuan: "Huang Danyang is not just a gourmet, he is also a special author of several food columns, and he has his own Weibo. There are a lot of foodies. Read his column and Weibo, and eat the dishes mentioned in it. As long as Huang Danyang can praise you in the column or Weibo, your vegetables will be popular all over the country immediately, at least in this province. Greatly famous!"
Li Yuan also knew the importance of publicity, and immediately said seriously after hearing the words: "You are right, we should take this matter seriously! By the way, I still have several new varieties of vegetables in my vegetable base. How about I get some here now?"
Liu Yuebing glanced at the time, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's too late. Fortunately, you brought enough vegetables today, so I'll do my best to cook a few more dishes so that Huang Danyang can fully appreciate the flavor of these vegetables." charm!"
Knowing that Liu Yuebing worked so hard, most of it was for himself, Li Yuan also sincerely thanked him: "Brother Liu, thank you for taking so much trouble for me."
"We are also good friends, so don't be so polite." Liu Yuebing smiled and said to Li Yuan: "I already know, except for me and Fatty Cai, you have opened up the supply of vegetables, and other customers are limited. Yes. I keep such a big favor in my heart, and I should do something today."
Speaking of this, Liu Yuebing smiled slightly, and then continued: "And I didn't do it all for you, it's also good for myself and Xinghualou, so you don't have to take this matter to heart!"
Of course Li Yuan knew that Liu Yuebing said this just because he didn't want to make himself feel indebted to others. He wanted to say a few more words of thanks when he saw a chef rushing in, his face flushed with excitement.
"Chef Liu, Huang Danyang is here!" The chef shouted as he ran, "Manager Wang received him personally, and now he has gone to the Fugui Hall for tea."
Hearing that Huang Danyang had arrived, Liu Yuebing also cheered up, and quickly said to the others: "Everyone cheer up, Xiao Zhang Xiao Liu, wash the vegetables!"
"I know!" The two kitchen workers responded in unison, and then began to get busy.
Li Yuan can only grow high-quality vegetables and has no talent in cooking. So at this time, he could only take two steps back, quietly watching Liu Yuebing and the other chefs show off their skills.
Liu Yuebing obviously thought about it in advance, and he was going to cook those few dishes for Huang Danyang, a famous gourmet. So Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu didn't need his orders at all, and started washing the vegetables in the order they were served.
After the two men cleaned the vegetables carefully, other people immediately took over the vegetables, cut the vegetables that should be cut into sections, and shredded the vegetables that should be shredded before handing them over to Liu Yuebing.
As the head chef, Liu Yuebing is only in charge of stir-frying. He skillfully puts the washed and cut vegetables into the pot, and masters the heat and the rhythm of stir-frying based on his years of experience. The whole process gave people the feeling of flowing clouds and flowing water, and even brought some dance rhythms, which made people know that Liu Yuebing had really put in a lot of effort in this line of work.
In a blink of an eye, a plate of vegetables has been fried, and Liu Yuebing just came out of the pot to fill the pots, when a slim girl in a waiter uniform walked in quickly and asked: "Mr. Huang wants to taste Chef Liu's vegetables, please cook are you done."
"The first dish is ready." Liu Yuebing nodded to the woman and said, "Please ask foreman Wang to pass the dishes up!"
This woman is the head waiter, and said politely to Liu Yuebing: "Mr. Huang said that today I came here specially to taste Chef Liu's vegetables, so I don't want anything else as long as vegetables."
"Don't worry, I know." Liu Yuebing simply responded, and started to stir-fry the next vegetable.
The female foreman nodded to Liu Yuebing and left with the tray. In the next half an hour, Liu Yuebing used these vegetables grown by Li Yuan as ingredients, and fried several vegetables in succession for others to deliver.
And the last vegetable is the most common white sugar tomato. This plate of tomatoes has been marinated since Liu Yuebing first started cooking, and it tastes just right at this time.
However, Liu Yuebing didn't intend to let others deliver this dish, but planned to serve it himself. He changed into a clean chef uniform, picked up the tomatoes and said to Li Yuan, "Xiao Li, let's go up together!"
Li Yuan knew that Liu Yuebing was going to introduce himself to Huang Danyang, of course he would not miss such a good opportunity, he immediately left the kitchen with Liu Yuebing with a smile, and walked to the Fugui hall on the second floor.
Fugui Hall is the best private room in Xinghualou. As a famous gourmet and food critic, Huang Danyang is naturally qualified to eat here.
Although Li Yuan often came to Xinghualou, it was the first time he came to the Fugui Hall. As soon as he entered the Fugui Hall, he saw a thin man sitting on the main seat of the table, eating the few vegetables that Liu Yuebing had just fried. The few plates on the table were almost empty, which showed that the dishes were very much to the skinny man's appetite.
Beside the thin man, there was an old man in his fifties, looking at the thin man next to him with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with the current situation. This old man is Wang Desheng, the manager of Xinghualou, and he personally entertained Huang Danyang today.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuan couldn't help being a little surprised, and couldn't help thinking to himself: "It seems that this thin man is the Huang Danyang that Brother Liu mentioned. I really didn't expect that the famous gourmet is actually a thin man!"
At the same time, Huang Danyang also saw Liu Yuebing coming in, and immediately threw his chopsticks away, laughed and stood up.
