Tianxiangju is one of the most famous restaurants in the imperial capital. Their signature dish is the most famous Rouge Pork. The full name of rouge meat is rouge pork, and almost everyone who comes to Tianxiangju will order a portion.
Shiyu came to Tianxiangju the next morning. There are not many customers in the morning, so it is quite quiet. She looked at the internal environment of this restaurant. The location inside was very empty, although there were many people, it was not disorganized. The ground under the feet is a green brick floor, and a lotus flower is carved on each blue brick to prevent slipping.
This kind of environment gives people a refreshing and atmospheric feeling, which Shi Yu likes very much.
The waiter came in and greeted him. Facing the enthusiasm of the waiter, Shi Yu's tone was not too eager. He just ordered a dish and sat down on the table in the corner.
Watching the waiter run into the door leading to the back kitchen, Shi Yu waited patiently.
In the back kitchen, everyone was busy at this time, and not many people raised the pots and stoves. Most of them are preparing for the arrival of noon.
The waiter came in with the order, and the one who took the order was a young cook. When he saw it, he frowned, "Why is there only one dish?"
Ordinary people come to eat, at least they have to order three or four, plus some drinks. But it is a bit rare to order a piece of rouge meat. Who would order one dish if they came to this kind of big restaurant
The waiter smiled and said: "A little girl ordered it. She must have come from another place. She heard our sign and wanted to try it, but she was short of money. I will leave the dishes to Brother Li, and I will continue to work outside."
The cook surnamed Li nodded and asked people to prepare the ingredients, and he began to cook.
The conversation between Cook Li and the waiter was heard by other people in the kitchen, and they couldn't help saying: "Outsiders just haven't seen the world, and they try to follow suit. If you let them eat, can they know whether it's good or bad? "
This remark is clearly dismissive of ordinary diners.
The cook surnamed Li also heard it, but he didn't speak. In fact, it is inevitable that everyone will think so. The business of such a large restaurant is very hot, and not every diner is lucky enough to taste the dishes made by the chef himself. Tianxiangju's famous rouge meat, most of the diners in the lobby are cooked by the chef's disciples. At this time, the public secrets in the industry, only the diners don't know.
There must be a gap between the disciples and the master, but the diners don't know, the herd mentality coupled with the subtle psychological admiration, and the taste is really good, so there have been no troubles.
Today they also treat Shiyu as a normal diner.
It was already half an hour later when the waiter brought the bowl of rouge meat filled with aroma to Shiyu.
When Shi Yu saw that the appearance in front of him was the same as what he ate at the palace banquet yesterday, a wave of anticipation surged in his heart. Pick up the chopsticks, pick up a trembling piece of meat on it and put it in your mouth, it still has a melt-in-your-mouth taste, extremely delicious.
Shi Yu frowned.
So fresh! The strong umami taste overwhelms the aroma of the meat itself, and also covers other problems caused by insufficient cooking techniques.
Staring at the rouge meat in front of him for a while, he immediately understood what was going on.
She is neither aristocrat nor celebrity, if she can be taken care of by the chef as soon as she comes, then she is too lucky.
Putting down the chopsticks, Shen Qingqing took out a bank note and put it on the table, leaving behind the rouge meat that took a bite, and left Tianxiangju.
Seeing her leave, the waiter thought she hadn't paid. When I ran over to take a look, I was relieved. There was a bank note neatly placed on the table! But when he collected the money and was about to close the market, he saw that there was only a small piece of meat missing from the plate, and he was stunned.
The rouge meat in Tianxiangju is almost never left over, most of it is eaten up as soon as it comes up, why this one...
Thinking of the plain dress and ordinary face of the little girl just now, the waiter didn't take it seriously. As soon as the food was packed, he was going to go back to eat at noon. As for the leftovers, he would never tell the chefs behind him.
But who knows, on the second day, the waiter saw this little girl again.
At the same time, sitting in the same position, ordered the same dish. In the end, I still took a small bite, and then I paid the bill and left.
The waiter is a bit strange, is this not to your liking? He secretly tasted it, it was obviously delicious!
Wait, if she comes tomorrow and the situation is still the same, then he will tell the chefs behind.
In fact, on the third day, Shi Yu still arrived on time. The waiter didn't know why, but when he saw her, he became a little uneasy. After seeing her dish, she only took one bite, and finally couldn't help asking: "Little girl, this dish is so delicious, why did you only take one bite?"
Seeing the puzzled look on the waiter's face, Shi Yu suddenly laughed when he thought that all his performances and emotions in the past few days had been shown to the blind man.
It seems that the pretense is overdone.
"I only took one bite because it didn't taste good."
The waiter's eyes widened, and then a sneer appeared on his face: "The rouge meat in our Tianxiangju is not delicious? Who sent you here to make trouble, little girl?"
"I had the honor to taste the rouge meat made by your chef before, and it tastes completely different from this one. You just need to feel what I said to the chef who cooks these days, and he will naturally understand what's going on." Shi Yu didn't say Mind the cold face of the waiter.
The waiter saw that there were already several customers looking at him, and knew that he couldn't push them away. I had to send a message to the back kitchen.
"The little girl who only came to order one dish every time said that Chef Li's rouge meat was not delicious, so she ate one bite every time. Chef Li, do you think you want to kick her out?" The waiter directly disappeared and Shi Yu said I have eaten the part made by the chef.
An apprentice next to him suddenly became dissatisfied, and shouted: "Didn't you see that we are busy? If you have to ask us about such a trivial matter, just throw it out. She doesn't think it tastes good, so let her find it by herself." Let's eat."
The waiter was waiting for the words. Seeing that Chef Li didn't say anything to stop him, he felt relieved and went to do it immediately.
Shi Yu originally wanted to wait for the cook to come, and wanted to tell that person about meeting the chef, but when he saw the menacing waiter, his brows twitched, knowing that something was wrong.
It seems that the saying that people rely on clothing and Buddha relies on gold clothing is true. The other party simply ignores him and only thinks that he is here to make trouble for no reason.
Scratching his head, Shi Yu felt that this was really painful. It's really uncomfortable to want to learn art but be kicked out of the house. But it doesn't matter, she hasn't learned nothing in the past three days.
I tried a different version of rouge meat. Although the taste is different, some of them are the same. For example, the cooking method is stewing, and the ingredients are the same, but the latter one has more fresh sauce. But also because of this, where the umami was not covered up, she tasted what the ingredients of this dish are...
