This fragrance is extraordinary!
The aroma of the braising sauce is created by a mixture of various spices, herbs, and Chinese medicinal plants.
The aroma of star anise is sweet and fragrant, and there are many different flavors of spices. Different spices have different aromas.
For example, cinnamon has a sweet and slightly spicy flavor, while scallions, ginger, and garlic also have a strong spicy flavor.
There are also various flavors such as dried tangerine peel and fennel. Perhaps it is because the spices are well-made and the proportions are precise that the resulting flavor is what everyone remembers as braised food, but it is exceptionally fragrant and mellow.
So much so that people can't help but be attracted the moment they smell the fragrance.
But since none of them were familiar with Chef Lin, they were too embarrassed to approach him.
Zhang Jianjun's attitude further added a layer of mystery to Lin Zhou's identity.
An invisible distance is created.
After the brine had developed a fragrant aroma, Lin Zhou, seeing that it was almost time, put the two whole beef shanks that had been soaked to remove blood into the pot to braise.
Then Lin Zhou began to process the ducks.
Peking duck is indeed a suitable choice for this kind of banquet.
Not only is it delicious and fragrant, but it is also a very unique dish that is famous both at home and abroad.
Watching Lin Zhou carefully debone the duck, the chefs in China suddenly thought of something.
He sneaked into the restroom, took out his phone, and started searching for Boss Lin.
Good heavens!
The chef's eyes widened in surprise. He had felt that Boss Lin looked familiar when he walked in, but he hadn't realized it until now, probably because Lin Zhou wasn't wearing a mask.
After watching for a while, he felt that the man looked familiar, somewhat like the Mr. Lin he had seen online before.
Unexpectedly, a search revealed that it really was the Boss Lin he knew!
Back when Suona Steak was all the rage, which young person who liked to stream on Douyin hadn't heard of it?
The fact that even a CEO of Zhang Mingyuan's level would eat at Boss Lin's roadside stall brought Boss Lin's popularity to its peak.
The true identity of Mr. Lin has remained a mystery online, but it is said that he is extremely wealthy.
It now appears that the rumors circulating online were true.
The chef forwarded the information he found to their team group chat.
This kind of news can't be known only to him; everyone needs to know.
Having learned about Mr. Lin's situation, the chef felt more at ease. When he returned to the kitchen to continue working, he saw that everyone was still cautious, so he told them to check the group messages.
Colleagues: ?
No one understood what he meant. When they saw him take out his phone, they assumed he was thinking of slacking off at this time and shook their heads seriously.
This is a great opportunity to gain fame by catering for a grand wedding of the century, where the guests are all wealthy people. If they like the food and ask them to cook for every banquet in the future, their reputation will soar instantly.
Therefore, there is an underlying competitive spirit between the chefs from both sides, both domestic and foreign.
The kitchen is divided into Chinese and Western food areas.
Lin Zhou's arrival added another great general to the Chinese side.
Now that the aroma of braised meat is wafting out, Western chefs feel threatened.
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.
You can tell a chef's skill level just by smelling the top-notch spice blend.
Wait until the roast duck smells delicious.
The entire kitchen was filled with the aroma of roast duck and braised dishes.
The rich aroma made the passing staff salivate.
"It smells so good! I wonder how much delicious food will be served at the wedding banquet tomorrow."
The dishes for this banquet were prepared so many days in advance, and the aroma grew stronger every day; it was so delicious it could almost kill you with its fragrance.
"It's a pity these aren't for us; they're all dishes prepared for the main banquet."
The staff were self-aware enough to know that the dishes served at these banquets had nothing to do with them.
You can only smell it.
"You know what? Mr. Zhang invited Mr. Lin, who is very famous online. Although we can't eat the dishes at the banquet, we might get lucky and eat some when Mr. Lin sets up a stall."
“I didn’t know that Mr. Lin and Mr. Zhang had such a good relationship online. I thought they were just street vendors.”
"What are you thinking? Boss Lin and General Manager Zhang are neighbors, living in the Royal Capital of Jiangdong. Do you think they are ordinary people?"
"Don't divulge this to outsiders, or you'll reveal the master's secrets, you know? Keep your mouth shut while you're working."
After the two waiters walked away with the plates.
A guest, who had followed the aroma to the kitchen, came out from the back.
His expression was one of shock, as if he had just heard something juicy.
Holy crap, look what he heard! It turns out that Boss Lin really will be cooking for tomorrow's banquet!
He had only heard that the Zhang family had hired Boss Lin to cook, so he came to the wedding with his parents. He never expected it to be true.
This is a real treat!
What exactly does this delicious food taste like that some CEOs would go to a roadside stall for? People in the industry have been curious for a long time and are looking forward to tasting Mr. Lin's cooking at his wedding banquet.
Moreover, I heard that the marriage between the Zhang and Lu families was arranged after they first met and ate porridge sold by Boss Lin.
A series of rumors have given Mr. Lin's culinary skills a touch of legend.
But wealthy people, especially those from prestigious families, always maintain their status and don't eat at roadside stalls, fearing that being photographed would lower their status. Also, Lin Zhou's stall locations are really not fixed.
Not everyone has time every day to stake out Lin Zhou and follow him around his stall.
So everyone's curiosity was piqued until Zhang Mingyuan's wedding banquet, when they finally had the chance to taste the culinary skills of Boss Lin, who was touted as a culinary god.
The wedding banquet featured dishes prepared by Mr. Lin. As soon as the news was released, many people, drawn by the food, went to great lengths to obtain an invitation and a plane ticket to travel to the private island for the wedding banquet.
The groom's guests had already begun arriving on the island by plane the day before the wedding.
The next day, the wedding day, most of the guests received were from the bride's side.
So tonight, the kitchen will also be preparing meals for these guests.
The younger guests, increasingly curious, quietly crept to the kitchen doorway and peered inside through the crack.
The kitchen door was not closed properly, which gave the young man the perfect opportunity to peep.
The spacious and bright kitchen was so bright it almost reflected light, and the young man immediately spotted Mr. Lin, who was flipping the barbecue grill!
Mr. Lin, dressed in a crisp, white chef's uniform, stood in front of the grill, his hands moving back and forth across the skewers of grilled meat, as if dancing on a piano—it was truly captivating.
He could smell the aroma of the sizzling lamb skewers grilled over charcoal even from the doorway!
And there's even an oven in the kitchen!
Inside, roasted ducks are constantly turning, their color glossy and reddish-brown, a color that is incredibly appealing.
The young man clearly saw that the passing chefs couldn't help but turn their heads to stare at the roast duck in the oven.
Looking up, you see roast duck with its crispy, fragrant skin; looking down, you see sizzling, oily lamb skewers.
Who could withstand this?!
