"Divine Beast Canteen"
Jiangcheng Xiangmanlou Hotel
There were ten people sitting sparsely in the box, including Director Liu of the food documentary.
Director Su, the director of "Kyushu from Classics", looked at his friend Director Liu, feeling anxious: "This episode is the first episode of the new season, and it is of great significance. I am unsure. Do you think this topic will be unpopular?"
Director Liu blinked, and almost instantly understood what Director Su meant. Was Director Su suddenly losing confidence before filming?
Director Liu patted Director Su on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, food culture is an important branch of our culture, and few people make programs in this area. If you do it, it will definitely give everyone a new experience."
Director Su did not speak, and fell into deep silence. In fact, she was inspired by Luo Huaian, and then she thought about the declining national cuisine, and decided on the plan without hesitation. She did not know whether this plan would be popular.
Just as she was struggling, a girl pushed the door open and walked in with a smile on her face: "Hello."
She has a bright face, fair skin and is incredibly beautiful.
When Director Liu saw the familiar Luo Huaian, his eyes lit up, and he stood up and greeted her enthusiastically: "Come on, Xiao Luo, sit next to me."
He had his reasons for doing this. The people here were very familiar with each other. Only Luo Huaian was a newcomer. He was worried that Luo Huaian would feel uneasy, so he deliberately asked her to sit next to him.
Luo Huaian was not shy at all, and sat next to Director Liu very naturally, and then started chatting with others. Luo Huaian was eloquent and good-looking, so the staff present all liked him.
Director Su was a little stunned. When she was watching the food documentary, she saw Luo Huaian and knew that she was young and beautiful. But this beauty had a greater impact in real life than on the big screen.
Director Su was a little curious: "Xiao Luo, I know you are a great cook. Why did you learn cooking?"
Luo Huaian said casually: "I learned cooking from my master. My master introduced me to the art."
Upon hearing this, Director Su suddenly realized that this was a family tradition.
Director Su joked, "I heard from Director Liu that you are a great cook. I really want to try what you cook, but now I don't have the chance. It's such a pity."
Luo Huaian paused for a moment when he heard this, and took out a Dingsheng cake from the package beside him. He did not intend to give up any opportunity to promote the product, and his tone was very enthusiastic: "This is a product produced by our Shanhai Food Factory. If you want to eat it, just eat this. If you like it, you can buy some and take it home to your relatives and friends."
Director Su originally just wanted to exchange pleasantries, but he didn't expect her to suddenly take out some pastries. He could only accept them politely and thank her with a smile.
She originally wanted to put the pastries away directly, but when she looked down, she saw the Dingsheng cake in the box.
Dingsheng cake looks like a plum blossom and is pink in color, which visually brings people to a colorful and beautiful country.
Director Su didn't want to try Dingsheng cake right away, but it looked so good. More importantly, her hometown was Lin'an City, and she had been away from home for a long time and hadn't eaten Dingsheng cake for a long time. The Dingsheng cakes she found in Beijing either had very coarse rice flour or were too sweet, and the taste was always not very good.
Only the Dingsheng cake from Xiangmanlou is pretty good.
Director Su had the idea of trying it, and looked up at Luo Huaian with a warm smile on his face: "Thank you, can I have a taste now?"
Luo Huaian did not refuse, but agreed directly: "You can eat anytime you want."
As Xiangmanlou Hotel had not yet served the food, Director Su unpacked it. The Dingsheng cake box was not big, and contained eight pieces of pink Dingsheng cake.
Director Su was embarrassed to eat alone, so he put the Dingsheng cake on the turntable and said to Hu Luohuaian and other staff members, "The meal hasn't been served yet. You must be hungry. Eat something first."
The pink and tender Dingsheng cake touched the hearts of many staff members.
When the other staff saw the beautiful Dingsheng cake, they couldn't help but reach out their hands.
More than ten people shared eight pieces of Dingsheng cakes, but most people only got one piece, and others got none at all.
Director Su took a piece of Dingsheng cake and slowly put it into his mouth.
Just after taking a bite, Director Su paused, and in a flash, an idea flashed through his mind that the Dingsheng cake made by Luo Huaian was not ordinary.
Dingsheng cake looks rough on the outside, but it is soft and delicate when eaten. The rice flour is ground very finely, and there is no granular feeling at all.
The Dingsheng cake was reluctant to melt on the tip of the tongue for a long time, and finally turned into a pool of rich and smooth rice noodles in the warm mouth.
As a rice noodle product, Dingsheng Cake has a soft and sticky texture, a strong rice aroma, and is more moist than other rice noodle products. The soft rice noodles can slide into the throat without chewing hard. The unique rice aroma of rice noodles fills the entire mouth.
The authentic steaming allows the sweetness to penetrate into every grain of rice, giving it a very layered taste and aroma.
Director Su savored the taste in her mouth, her eyes sparkling. She had eaten Dingsheng cake countless times since she was a child, but she had never eaten such a delicious Dingsheng cake. The moist rice flour filled her mouth with fragrance, and the taste was extremely rich, making people simply addicted.
Director Su reached out his hand directly to the box on the turntable, but his hand touched nothing. He fell into confusion, and when he looked carefully, he found that all the things inside were gone.
Director Su then remembered that when she picked up the first piece, the others had already divided up all the Dingsheng cake.
Director Su: “…”
Regret, I regret it now.
The other staff members didn't notice Director Su's sad look at all, all their attention was focused on the Dingsheng cake in their hands.
A staff member finished the Dingsheng cake in two or three bites, and they all praised it: "Oh my God, Xiao Luo, this cake is so delicious? What's its name?"
The person next to him didn't wait for Luo Huaian to speak and explained directly: "It's called Dingsheng Cake."
The staff member who spoke earlier was a little surprised: "Its name sounds very majestic and domineering, but its appearance and taste are very girly."
When Director Su saw that the staff was very curious about the snacks from her hometown, she directly told them the origin of Dingsheng cake.
Dingsheng Cake is known to almost everyone in Lin'an. It is said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin army invaded the country and reached Lin'an. Yue Fei, a famous general who fought against the Jin army, led 8,000 soldiers to rescue. The people in Lin'an brought their old and young and sent cakes as a reward.
Yue Fei saw that the cake on the plate was slightly red, big at both ends and thin in the middle, and looked very much like a mortise and tenon.
He broke the cake from the middle door and was about to eat it, but found a note stuck in the cake, which read: "The enemy camp is like a tenon, big at both ends and a thin door in the middle. If you cut a knife in the middle, the enemy will collapse on its own."
It turned out that the people in Lin'an City knew the military deployment of the Jin army through various clues, so they passed the news to Yue Fei.
Yue Fei deployed his troops overnight to attack the enemy, like a sharp sword cutting through the middle. The Jin army could not take care of both ends, so the Song army won a great victory.
After Yue's army won the battle, they named the pastry, which looked like a ding tenon, Dingsheng cake based on its homophonic name, to commemorate the contributions of the people of Lin'an who came up with ideas.
This traditional cake has been passed down in Lin'an City to this day. Now is a peaceful time, without war, but people still eat Dingsheng cake, which means praying for a peaceful and prosperous world and being prepared for danger in times of peace.
After listening to Director Su's introduction, a staff member swallowed his saliva with eager eyes: "Director Su, you inspired me to travel to Lin'an."
Director Su looked at the empty box in front of him with emotion: "The Dingsheng cake in our hometown is indeed delicious. You can go and try it. But this brand of Dingsheng cake is not inferior to the Dingsheng cake there. The taste is very authentic."
Director Su seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Luo Huaian, much more enthusiastic than before: "Xiao Luo, you just said this is your brand, so can you sell me some Dingsheng cakes? My mother has been in Beijing for many years, and she especially misses the snacks from her hometown."
Luo Huaian was very happy to see that others liked the product she developed, but she was powerless now, so she said directly: "Dingsheng Cake is still under review, and it will take at least until the end of the month before it can be listed in Beijing."
Director Su had no choice but to agree, and then asked curiously: "Where should I buy this product then?"
Luo Huaian said: "We currently have in-depth cooperation with Jiajiale Supermarket. You can just go to Jiajiale Supermarket to buy it."
Seeing that Director Su liked Dingsheng Cake so much, Luo Huaian reached into his bag and fumbled for a while, then took out two boxes of Dingsheng Cake and handed them to Director Su: "I have two boxes left."
Director Su was very grateful. She didn't want Luo Huaian to suffer any loss, so she transferred the money specially.
While they were talking, the waiters of Xiangmanlou Hotel began to serve the dishes. Xiangmanlou Hotel has a history of a hundred years, and the dishes it makes are authentic Beijing cuisine, which tastes very good.
One of the dishes was the Dingsheng cake ordered by Director Su. Some people had never eaten Xiangmanlou's Dingsheng cake except the one Luo Huaian had just brought, so they took a piece of Dingsheng cake to taste.
As a result, as soon as the Dingsheng cake entered their mouths, they paused for a moment, chewed the cake slowly, and the expressions on their faces gradually became subtle.
The Dingsheng cake from Xiangmanlou is indeed delicious, but not as delicious as the Shanhai brand. The Dingsheng cake is a bit dry, like eating a sweet sponge, and the taste is not as moist and sweet as the Shanhai brand.
But this was Director Su's treat, so everyone was embarrassed to say anything.
But Director Su didn't care at all and said directly: "Xiao Luo, I just tasted it today and found out that the Dingsheng cake of Xiangmanlou is less than one tenth of the one you made."
Luo Huaian felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She knew that the Dingsheng cake she made was delicious, but this was someone else's hotel, and it would be a bit bad if others heard it.
As expected, when the waiter heard Director Su's opinion, he asked, "This Dingsheng cake is made by our white pastry chef, Master Zhang. You think it's not tasty? I'm very sorry. I'll call him over now."
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, he hurried out and soon brought back a chef, Master Zhang.
The service attitude of Xiangmanlou Hotel is very good. When Master Zhang saw that his Dingsheng cake was criticized, he still had a smile on his face: "My dear guest, I am very sorry. My specialty is not Dingsheng cake, but other cakes. I hope you can forgive me if there is any inadequacy in the hospitality."
However, Master Zhang did not agree with this. In fact, Dingsheng cake is one of his specialties, and he thinks that his Dingsheng cake is delicious.
But for the high salary, Master Zhang can smile at any critical customer.
Director Su thought it was not a big deal, and quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. In fact, the Dingsheng cake you made is not bad, but it is a little inferior in comparison. It's not your problem, it's just that others are too good."
Director Su is a sincere person, and he does not hide his true thoughts in his words. Although it was comforting, Master Zhang was not comforted, but stimulated instead.
What does it mean that the Dingsheng cake made by others is so excellent?
Master Zhang had a polite smile on his face, but he was a little angry inside. He still spoke in a very polite tone: "Excuse me, which store makes Dingsheng cake? Can you tell me the address? I want to go there to learn."
Director Su directly took out a box of Dingsheng cake and showed it to Master Zhang: "Actually, I'm not talking about Dingsheng cakes from other stores, but the ones my friend gave me."
Director Su also wanted Master Zhang's cooking skills to improve so that she could enjoy the delicious food in the future. So she reluctantly opened the package, opened the lid, and made suggestions according to what Master Zhang said: "Why don't you try the taste of Dingsheng cake and see where the difference is."
Master Zhang lowered his head in disapproval, but he couldn't take his eyes away. Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway, and his eyes with excellent eyesight could tell that the rice noodles were special as soon as he looked over. The wet and dry rice noodles were ground just right, with a full grainy texture and a pink and even color, which made people unable to take their eyes away.
Master Zhang reluctantly agreed and took a Dingsheng cake and put it into his mouth. He took a bite and the airy Dingsheng cake melted in his mouth, exuding a strong rice aroma and a hint of rose fragrance.
Luo Huaian selected very high-quality glutinous rice and stalk rice and ground them into a dense cake flour. The secret of Dingsheng cake's pink color comes from rose jam, which has a strong aroma after being pickled with sugar for more than half a year.
The simple rice noodles are paired with gorgeous rose flower sauce, and the monotonous white and bright pink are perfectly combined.
Master Zhang covered his mouth and stared at the Dingsheng cake in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief. This Dingsheng cake was so much better than the one he made?
Luo Huaian felt a little embarrassed when he saw his colleagues tasting his things and was about to speak up to smooth things over.
As a result, Master Zhang suddenly asked Director Su who made it. When he learned that it was Luo Huaian, he looked at Luo Huaian impatiently and said, "Can I place an order with you?"
After some trouble, Luo Huaian learned that Master Zhang was actually the apprentice of the chef of Xiang Man Lou Hotel. Because of his poor cooking skills, he gradually moved to the management level and was currently in charge of purchasing.
Master Zhang liked the Dingsheng cake she made very much, so he wanted to place an order to sell it in the hotel to replace the previous Dingsheng cake.
In fact, people in the industry understand the difficulty of cooking better than those outside the industry.
Master Zhang understood Luo Huaian's strengths, and he did not feel jealous, but only deeply envious. Master Zhang wanted to establish a good relationship with Luo Huaian, and also wanted to make his performance even better, so he took the initiative to express his willingness to cooperate.
Luo Huaian didn't expect that his colleagues' tasting of his dishes did not cause any disputes, but instead brought him a batch of orders. He immediately didn't feel embarrassed and smiled in his heart.
Although the hotel probably doesn't need much, Luo Huaian thinks there is a lot of potential in cooperating with the hotel because the customers at Xiang Man Lou Hotel are all gourmets with strong purchasing power and can easily become loyal fans.
Because Dingsheng cake has not yet been officially launched on the market, Luo Huaian asked Master Zhang to wait a little longer, and Master Zhang had to agree.
After eating and drinking, Luo Huaian came to the hotel where he was staying alone. The program crew will officially start filming in a few days.
She flipped through the script given to her by the production team and scratched her head. She had never read a script before and knew nothing about the acting career.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that there was an actor on her list, so she called the actor directly and asked him to help her with her homework.
After promising fifty new products, Jiang Wei agreed to her request and gave her some emergency guidance.
Luo Huaian was extremely smart and understood things quickly, and quickly mastered the basic knowledge of deduction.
The staff of the program team originally thought that they would have to train Luo Huaian, an amateur, but they did not expect that he would do so well.
On the day of filming, Luo Huaian did not show any stage fright, and managed his facial expressions very well. He even responded to the CCTV host's role very well, and the final film turned out to be stunning.
Luo Huaian accepted the compliments from others, feeling very proud, and always felt that she seemed to have chosen the wrong career. She sighed for a while, then retracted her thoughts. Although she envied the high salaries earned by people in the entertainment industry, she actually had no intention of really entering the entertainment industry, because she had too many secrets and was not suitable to be exposed to the public for a long time.
After the filming of the program was completed, in order to save money, she was reluctant to spend even on air and train tickets. She simply made a hand gesture and returned to the Eighth Canteen of the Aviation University.
Just as she entered the room, the elder bluebird ran over in panic and said, "My Lord, my brothers and sisters and I were beaten."
The other birds followed the little bluebird, looking bruised and battered. After seeing Luo Huaian, they started crying and the sound of sobbing was endless.
Luo Huaian: “?”
Luo Huaian didn't understand why Niao Yi was beaten. He thought that Niao Yi had offended someone in the cafeteria who was stronger than him, so he asked curiously, "What happened? Did someone in the cafeteria beat you?"
Niaoyi covered the red and swollen bump on his head and shook his head deeply: "It's not them, but the monster in the mountain where I came from."
Luo Huaian was a little confused: "Who is it?"
Bird One said, "It was a bear demon. That bear demon was the most powerful demon in the mountain and beat us badly. We were beaten by him again that day and he looked like he was going to eat us. We begged for mercy but he was unwilling to let us go and slapped our wings with his claws. Fortunately, Senior Blue Bird suddenly appeared at that time and drove the bear demon away."
Luo Huaian was a little angry when he heard this: "Did that bear monster come to our cafeteria? Then I have to teach him a lesson."
She is very territorial and no one else can enter her territory without her permission.
Hearing this, Niao Yi lowered his head, his eyes wandering: "He didn't come to our cafeteria. I went back this morning."
Luo Huaian asked curiously: "Why do you want to go home?"
Bird stammered, "We left something at home, so we went back to our hometown to get something."
Luo Huaian took a glance and always felt that Niao Yi was not telling the truth.
Her eyes were like torches, and the birds lowered their heads guiltily. After struggling for a long time, they still didn't dare to lie. They were worried that Luo Huaian would make them into bird soup, so they had to say awkwardly: "In fact, our cultivation has improved a lot recently, so we wanted to go home for revenge, but in the end..."
The result was just as Luo Huaian had seen, all of them combined still couldn't defeat the bear monster.
Luo Huaian suddenly realized that they were the ones who took the initiative to come to the other party to cause trouble. She was not surprised. These little bluebirds were completely different from bluebirds. They had very eccentric personalities. It would be strange if they behaved themselves one day.
Luo Huaian thought that as long as it didn't affect their work, it wouldn't be a big problem. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You told me this because you want me to help you teach that bear a lesson?"
The bird's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded suddenly, "Yes."
Luo Huaian shook his head: "I don't want to go. You told me before that it was the Blue Bird that helped you drive away the bear spirit. Why didn't you go find the Blue Bird this time?"
Niao Yi spoke frankly from his heart: "Because Master Pixiu is more powerful than Senior Blue Bird, the bear demon will definitely be very scared."
Niao Yi wanted to find someone to support him, and thought Luo Huaian was the most powerful, so he wanted to find Luo Huaian to support him.
Luo Huaian did not tell them his identity, but almost all the foxes knew the boss's identity. Over time, the boss's identity was no longer a secret among the employees.
Niaoyi felt that as soon as the boss went over, the annoying bear monster would be scared to death.
Whenever he thought of that scene, he felt as if he had gotten his revenge and felt happy.
Niaoyi knew that Senior Bluebird had high expectations for them, and he was really embarrassed to ask Bluebird to do such a thing. And according to his impression of Bluebird, Senior Bluebird was very gentle and would not stand up for them.
Luo Huaian didn't want to do such a boring thing, but when Niaoyi saw her like this, he offered to work for her for free for another year. The other birds also wanted to show off their power and proposed the same conditions to Niaoyi.
When Luo Huaian heard this, his steps suddenly stopped and he agreed without thinking too much.
She didn't want to bully the weak...but what they gave was too much.
Luo Huaian brought a group of bluebirds to the Green Bamboo Mountain in the far suburbs of Jiangcheng. The mountain was called this name because there were many bamboos growing in it, which looked full of vitality and the air was refreshing.
Luo Huaian followed the blue bird to their nest, but did not sense the breath of the monster. He asked curiously, "Where is the bear spirit you mentioned?"
The bird thought for a moment and said, "The bear demon must have gone to the depths of Green Bamboo Mountain to dig bamboo shoots. He especially likes to eat young bamboo shoots. Boss, please wait a moment. I will bring my brothers and sisters to lead him over."
Luo Huaian was a little stunned when she heard that the bear spirit liked to eat tender bamboo shoots. According to her shallow impression of bears, bears are obviously carnivorous animals and will only eat plants when they are extremely hungry.
Luo Huaian thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what kind of bear this was, so he nodded: "Okay, go and lead him over, I'll help you talk to him."
Luo Huaian heard the melodious bird calls in the bird's nest.
"Boss, here he comes, here he comes."
"Boss, get ready."
Luo Huaian leaned against the bamboo, without making any preparations, staring at the direction where the Blue Bird Gate was flying, with a very casual attitude.
She heard that the reason why Niao Yi and the bear demon had a grudge was that they wanted to compete for the title of the boss of Green Bamboo Mountain, and they wanted to resolve the conflict between their sects.
