Chapter 49 Drafting the Menu
Early the next morning, Ruan Tang called a hoverboard and set off for the Empire State Building. The Empire State Building is not only the tallest building of the Blue Star Empire, but also the center of the empire's government affairs. It is very representative of the Blue Star Empire. It can be said that it is a very high-standard treatment to entertain the Root people here.
Although he had been mentally prepared, when Ruan Tang was downstairs in the Empire State Building, his whole body was still greatly shocked. He had never seen such a tall and magnificent building, literally towering into the sky , It is more majestic than those high-rise buildings he has seen in the previous life.
There was an endless stream of government personnel coming and going, and they entered the Empire State Building through various gates in an orderly manner, and Ruan Tang followed the flow of people and walked in.
The entrance security facilities of the Empire State Building are tighter than he imagined. There are four gates in the southeast, north, and west for entry and exit, but there are sixteen small doors behind each gate, and each small gate is an independent security checkpoint. , implement the system of one gate and one person.
Ruan Tang walked to the gate and pressed his palm on the smart terminal at the door. After passing the biometric information test, the sensor door opened in response. A small compartment appeared in front of him. He walked in slowly, and the sensor door followed suit. It closed behind him, and then an infrared ray scanned his whole body. After confirming that he was not carrying any suspicious items, the gate in front of him was opened.
After receiving the elevator card at the reception desk at the door, Ruan Tang took the elevator to the banquet hall on the fifty-fifth floor.
"Little Tang, you're here!" President Gu was sitting in the banquet hall with several chefs discussing the menu, and when he saw Ruan Tang coming out of the elevator, he immediately showed a kind smile.
"Hello President Gu." Ruan Tang walked over with a smile.
"This is Xue Ning, Cai Wenjie, Qian Bin, and Tao An, all of whom are excellent chefs from our association." President Gu smiled and introduced them, "This is Ruan Tang, so I don't need any further introductions. Bar?"
Xue Ning is the only female chef among the group of people. She has a pretty face and a cold temperament. She doesn't seem to be easy to get close to. When President Gu was introducing everyone, she hardly looked in the direction of Ruan Tang. Seen. Both Cai Wenjie and Qian Bin are veteran chefs of a certain age and experience, and they have a mature and stable temperament. After the introduction by President Gu, they both nodded politely to Ruan Tang, which was regarded as a greeting. Tao An is President Gu's apprentice, he is probably the youngest of them. When he saw Ruan Tang, his eyes were fixed on him all the time, so that Ruan Tang couldn't pay attention. .
"Hello." Ruan Tang turned around and greeted him with a smile. Seeing the other party's big and bright eyes staring at him fiercely, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart. He should... not talk to this person. Had a grudge
After hearing his words, Tao An's eyes were so ferocious that they were about to materialize directly, and in the next second, under Ruan Tang's panicked eyes, he rushed up and grabbed his hand: "You, hello Mr. Ruan! I, I, I am your fan!"
Ruan Tang, who almost thought he would be beaten up, looked blank, and let him hold his hand, muttering words like "I will not wash my hands for a week" or "I will not wash my hands for a month" , still a little unresponsive, this is... his... fan
"Well... thank you."
Once Tao An was thanked by him, he became more and more excited, his appearance was already ferocious like a prehistoric giant beast, Ruan Tang couldn't connect his expression with words at all.
Noticing his bewildered mood, President Gu couldn't help laughing at the side, shaking his head, unable to laugh or cry, and said: "This apprentice of mine is like this... Although he looks rather vicious, his personality is very easy-going and innocent. He is really your fan. Usually, he pays attention to restraining his expression, but when he sees you, he may be a little too excited, and he can't control it... Xiaotang, you should take care of him more."
Tao An nodded bluntly beside him, his voice was as thick as a tiger roaring, holding Ruan Tang's hand in his strong arm, and continued to growl loudly: "Ruan, Mr. Ruan! I have started your live broadcast since the third episode I followed the live broadcast, and I also made up the recordings of the previous two episodes, and I didn’t miss every episode after that. Although I haven’t spoken much, I will give gifts every time! But I’m not as good as your housekeeper, ‘He’ If you have money, I, I... "
He calmed down, wiped away his tears and continued to growl: "I think you are really amazing. You can turn any simple ingredients into delicious food. It's like creating a world! Oh no, creating food!"
"By the way, my ID is Wangshu." The king kong boy lowered his head slightly in embarrassment, blushing with shame, his neck thick, and his big black eyes staring at him firmly, "you, do you have any impression ah?"
"Well... I seem to be a little impressed, thank you for your support!" Ruan Tang couldn't laugh or cry, but he was indeed a little impressed with Tao An's ID. After all, the number of people in the live broadcast room was relatively small in the early days, and the chance of familiarity with the audience would be relatively high. high.
At first, he thought that Tao An was a fan of the original owner, so he was so excited to see him, but he didn't expect that the other party was his live broadcast fan. Although Tao An seemed a bit talkative and agitated, and his image and personality were very inconsistent, Ruan Tang had a very good impression of him.
It's fun to have such a cute contrast, and Tao An's contrast is much bigger than He Yunchen's.
"It's good that you can get along well. Xiao An is very reliable in cooking, Xiao Tang, you can order him as you like." President Gu said with a smile, "Then let's start drawing up the menu now." ?”
The visiting group of the Roots is composed of 20 nobles of Roots, and their entourage and fleet also have almost a thousand people. At that time, the important officials of the government and members of the royal family will receive the visiting group in the main hall of the banquet hall. Other Lutes dined in buffet style in the outer hall.
Except for Tao An, President Gu, Xue Ning, Cai Wenjie and Qian Bin all participated in the Lute people's reception banquet last time. Xue Ning is good at making soup. During the last Lute people's visit, the few dishes she made were full of flavor. The mellow broth is full of praise from Rooters. Cai Wenjie is good at frying and grilling, and the barbecue he makes is very popular among Lute people. Qian Bin is good at steaming, and the food he cooks tastes quite good. It was all right for the three of them to be in charge of feeding the other Roots during the visit.
And Ruan Tang and President Gu will be in charge of the highlight of the reception, which is the food in the main banquet hall, while Tao An will be in charge of helping them both. Although there are only 20 people in the visiting team of the Roots, they are all nobles among the Roots, and they must not be neglected in the slightest. In addition, there are also government officials and royal family members from the Blue Star Empire present. More attention must be paid to the drafting of the menu.
President Gu could see that Xue Ning and the others seemed to have some dissatisfaction and hostility towards Ruan Tang, probably because they felt that Ruan Tang's joining had robbed their status and limelight of the original chef. But in fact, Ruan Tang appeared here because the leader of the Roots personally appointed him, otherwise he would not have put up his old face to invite Ruan Tang. It's just that it's not good to tell them these things, otherwise I'm afraid it will only make them more ashamed.
President Gu shook his head helplessly. Anyway, they are divided into two groups and they just don't interfere with each other.
"The Rooters like to eat meat, so don't they eat any vegetarian food?" Ruan Tang asked curiously.
"It should not be eaten." President Gu turned on the optical brain and extracted the menu of the last reception banquet. Several green leafy vegetables were not popular at the reception banquet. The Lute people are obviously more interested in those meat dishes. .
Ruan Tang frowned slightly as he looked at the simple and rough all-meat menu. Perhaps such a menu would only be seen at the banquets of the upstarts in the countryside in his previous life...
But in the end, it is mainly about the preferences of aliens, so Ruan Tang can only accommodate them as much as possible.
"Since the Rooters like to eat meat, we try to prepare as many meat dishes as possible. But there are also our government officials and royal family members. I think it would be good to have a few more meat and vegetable dishes."
"Can."
"Chicken, duck, fish, pig, beef, and sheep. Make two dishes of each, plus a few stir-fried dishes with meat and vegetables and a pot of broth. I think it's almost the same."
"Yes." President Gu knew Ruan Tang's ability very well, and kept nodding his head while listening to his words.
Because the other party's taste is obviously very simple and rude, as long as there is meat and delicious food, Ruan Tang didn't deliberately cook some dishes with gorgeous appearance but small portions, and directly arranged them according to the luxurious banquet in the country. The core theme of "eat big meat".
The first is chicken, which is also a very common ingredient. It is quite good to make chicken stewed with mushrooms, and then make honey chicken wings; of course, the duck is the most classic roast duck, and then make a sauced duck leg; fish, you can Make a fish head with chopped pepper and squirrel sea bass; as for pork, he wants to make a roast suckling pig and a braised pork; for beef, he wants to make the beef roll with enoki mushroom and roast beef brisket with potatoes, and the last lamb , whether it is braised in red or white, it is delicious, and the boiled mutton soup is even more delicious.
Ruan Tang drew up the main menu for the reception, but he was still a little undecided about the vegetarian dishes. In his previous life, he didn't pay much attention to the arrangement of dishes for the state banquet, and he didn't know what to do better.
President Gu saw his entanglement, and said with a smile, "I'll be in charge of the vegetarian dishes. After all, I'm also a five-star chef, so I can't be compared too much by you."
"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Ruan Tang could feel relieved after handing over the vegetarian dishes to President Gu.
But in general banquets, before serving hot dishes, you have to prepare a few more cold dishes, so as to pad the stomachs of the guests. After thinking about it, Ruan Tang decided to add crystal shrimp, bean curd fish rolls, cold tofu and sauce These dishes of cod in sauce.
