The Imperial Chef's Restaurant
The sponsors of this competition are major food associations across the country, including the president of the Hai City Food Association. Haining briefly explained the background information of the competition and then asked, "Do you want to participate?"
Bai Yinuo thought for a while and said, "What is the process of this competition?"
"The first round of the competition will be held in major cities across the country. If you want to participate, you can sign up now." Henin said: "After I learned the news, I came to you as soon as possible. I think it's a pity that you don't participate in this program. Now is not the era where good wine will sell itself. If you want to make Xiaojiang Restaurant bigger, you still need some exposure channels."
After hearing his words, Bai Yinuo felt a lot of gratitude in her heart. This editor not only recommended Baiji Restaurant to the Taste Documentary, but also told her the news. He was really a very enthusiastic guest.
Bai Yinuo smiled and said, "Thank you."
Haining has an elegant temperament. He pushed his glasses and said, "Nothing. I just don't want to see a good small shop buried."
"You are too kind."
Haining waved his hand and said, "Don't be so modest. If you are any more modest, it will be hypocritical. The dishes you cook are no less than those of any chef in any restaurant."
After Bai Yinuo and Haining exchanged greetings, Haining left with his colleagues from the editorial department.
Bai Yinuo was not moved at all after hearing the news. After she was done with her work, she had time to search for what the Taste Night was.
CCTV has hosted some food shows every year, but never before has it been so grand. The Taste Night will hold auditions across the country, followed by various competitions until the chef is chosen.
This food-hunting night is also very interesting. It limits the age of registrants to between fifteen and thirty-five years old, aiming to select young chefs.
Its slogan is: "The flame is passed on."
When Bai Yinuo saw this slogan, she paused for a moment. To be honest, this slogan really touched her heart. After she came to the modern world, she discovered some things: traditional culture was in a dilemma, and traditional food was almost gone.
It would be great if this chef competition could really achieve the effect of promoting the chef world as its slogan says.
After investigating the competition, Bai Yinuo pinched her chin, thinking of something, and couldn't help but smile. She put down her phone, walked into the kitchen, looked at Ji Zihuai's busy back and said, "The editor-in-chief of Food World Magazine said that CCTV is going to hold a large-scale chef competition. Do you want to participate?"
When Ji Zihuai heard her words, he paused while cutting vegetables. He put down the kitchen knife, pinched his apron, and fell into deep thought, "I..."
Bai Yinuo still remembers what the other party said on the day he became his apprentice. Ji Zihuai said he wanted to become the best chef.
Bai Yinuo smiled and said, "I think you are good in every way, except that you are a little insecure. You have been studying under me for more than a month and have made rapid progress. Go and give it a try."
After hearing her words, Ji Zihuai's eyes were no longer confused and his voice became calm.
"Okay." Ji Zihuai hummed and nodded in agreement.
Bai Yinuo forwarded the contact information Haining gave him to Ji Zihuai and asked him to call to sign up.
After receiving this message, Ji Zihuai asked curiously: "Aren't you going to participate in this competition?"
Ji Zihuai thought that it was normal for Bai Yinuo not to participate. Because of his job, he had eaten in many restaurants and met many state banquet chefs. In his eyes, Bai Yinuo's level had completely reached theirs.
And it is even more difficult for these young chefs to compare with her.
This is like a max-level account returning to the Novice Village - bullying the noobs.
Ji Zihuai said: "It's normal that you don't want to go. There is nothing to improve."
Unexpectedly, Bai Yinuo lowered his head and sent a message, then replied: "I'll go."
Ji Zihuai asked curiously: "Why?"
Bai Yinuo said: "Take a look at the prizes listed on the schedule."
Ji Zihuai searched the Internet for this competition, found the competition information, and couldn't help but read out the prizes: "The first place winner in this competition will receive a prize of 1.88 million, the second place winner will receive 1 million, and the third place winner will receive 500,000.
Ten thousand."
After hearing his words, Bai Yinuo raised the corners of his mouth and curved his eyebrows: "I am a house slave now."
Although most of the dishes at Baiji Restaurant are not priced very high, there are also many expensive dishes, such as roast suckling pig. Baiji Restaurant can earn a lot of money every day, but Bai Yinuo still owes the mortgage of the house next door and the rent of the rooftop.
Ji Zihuai is a rich second-generation who doesn't understand the sufferings of the world and almost forgot about this matter.
Ji Zihuai: “…Yeah.”
The filter of the master is broken.
——————
The auditions for the Haishi Division of the Taste Night will be held in ten days, and the topic has not been decided. After Bai Yinuo signed up, he didn't care about this matter anymore, and comforted Ji Zihuai not to be nervous: "We are a master and a disciple, and we are united in purpose."
Afterwards, Bai Yinuo told the other two waiters that he had signed up for the chef competition.
"I don't know what the schedule will be like later, but if we have to compete, Ji Zihuai and I will ask for leave, and Baiji Restaurant will not be open. You can go home to visit your relatives." Bai Yinuo said: "Our restaurant hasn't closed for a long time."
Su Momo said hurriedly, "Can I go with you? The food I eat at home is not as good as the food here, and I don't want to go home. The last time I went home, I brought back a lot of snacks you made, but my mother grabbed them all for me and said she wanted to help me lose weight. I burst into tears."
Bai Yinuo: “…”
Ji Yuchi thought about it and said calmly: "I want to go and see the scene too."
He has been at Baiji Restaurant for a week, and he doesn't know if it's his illusion, but he feels that he sleeps better than usual at night. Yesterday, he took time to see a psychologist, who said that it might be because he was busy during this period and didn't have time to fall into worry, so his mood was naturally more open.
Ji Yuchi thought, indeed. Although Baiji Restaurant had not yet opened up the upstairs, the downstairs was also quite busy. He was serious and would not be lazy, so naturally he had no time to waste.
Xu's father's construction team told Bai Yinuo that they could finish work the day after tomorrow, which meant that the expansion of Bai's Restaurant was finally completed.
This expansion turned half of the upstairs area into private rooms and the other half into dining areas. It also connected the upstairs and downstairs, installed a wooden staircase next to the cash register, and a small elevator next to it.
After ordering, guests can choose to take the stairs or the elevator to the second floor. This elevator is not only convenient for guests to go to the second floor, but also convenient for waiters to deliver food.
After some thought, Bai Yinuo decided to let Ji Yuchi go to the second floor. First, Su Momo was more jumpy, and she was afraid that Su Momo would get burned when serving hot dishes, such as clay pot rice, while Ji Yuchi was much more careful.
Second, Ji Yuchi is wearing a mask now and does not want to reveal his true face for the time being. The downstairs is the place with the highest flow of people, and many people have told Bai Yinuo that this waiter looks very familiar.
The second floor is quieter than the first floor.
After thinking for a while, Bai Yinnuo told the two of them his idea, and then said, "What do you think of my arrangement? Can you accept it?"
The two nodded and chose to accept this arrangement.
During the construction process, considering that the workers were very hard-working, Bai Yinuo would often ask Su Momo to send food to the workers.
Most of these workers were the ones who participated in the expansion of Baiji Restaurant last time. They knew that the boss cooked delicious food, so they praised Baiji Restaurant to the sky after returning. Many workers were persuaded by them, and when Baiji Restaurant expanded for the second time, they took the initiative to volunteer to work for Baiji Restaurant.
But the group of old workers did not agree. They grabbed all the spots early and came to Bai Ji Restaurant.
Xiao Wang is a painter. It is his first time to come to Bai Ji Restaurant. He doesn't quite understand what the workers who have been to Bai Ji Restaurant before say.
The worker said, "Didn't you see that our boss came here personally as the foreman, just for the food at Baiji Restaurant?"
Xiao Wang didn't take it seriously. This was too exaggerated. "That's not necessarily true. Maybe the boss has a good relationship with the people in this store, so he came to supervise in person."
Until he got a portion of glutinous rice balls.
Xiao Wang took the glutinous rice balls and thanked the person who brought them. He was exhausted after a whole morning, and the weather was very cold, so he felt very weak. Even if the glutinous rice balls were just average, they were enough to help him get rid of his fatigue.
The glutinous rice balls were steaming hot. They were small and round, white as snow, like longan, with clear soup and some wolfberries sprinkled on top. The red wolfberries would float up and sink down, making the glutinous rice balls more poetic.
He scooped up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, then immediately chewed it. When the black sesame filling inside the dumpling flowed out, he paused holding the spoon and blurted out, "This dumpling is so delicious."
These dumplings are handmade by Bai Yinuo. First, glutinous rice flour is used to make the dough, and then powdered sugar, black sesame seeds,
Make sugar fillings and knead them into small dumplings. She kneads them well, and the dumplings are small and round, very beautiful. The flour used to make dumplings is gouache, which makes the skin of the dumplings smooth and tender. The whole dumpling is soft, smooth, round and tender.
Xiao Wang chewed the glutinous rice ball in his mouth and felt that it didn't even have a solid feel in his mouth. He was reluctant to swallow it.
When the worker saw Xiao Wang's expression, he couldn't help but laugh: "You just thought the food at Baiji Restaurant was just so-so, now you know."
Xiao Wang didn't bother to talk to them, he ate the dumplings one by one, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he finished all the dumplings. After the hot dumplings entered his stomach, he felt that every pore in his body was shouting for satisfaction.
This made him unable to help but walk up to his co-worker and quietly ask, "When will Baiji Restaurant expand for the third time?"
Worker: “…”
Xiao Wang said: "I finally understand why the boss has to be the supervisor. I have never eaten such delicious glutinous rice balls. When I ate glutinous rice balls before, I always felt that they were too sweet at the end, but this glutinous rice ball has just the right sweetness. I think it also contains osmanthus juice, which is very greasy."
The worker shook his head, saying he could do nothing to help: "I don't know when Baiji Restaurant will expand for the third time, but at this rate, it should be soon."
Xiao Wang never thought that one day he would hope that his employer would expand its business because his employer’s cooking was delicious.
Two days later, the expansion of Baiji Restaurant was officially completed. Baiji Restaurant finally changed its name from a small restaurant to a big restaurant.
Because Bai Yinuo paid a lot of money, and Xu's father's construction company was more reliable, the decoration was very exquisite. And they used better paints, which did not contain formaldehyde and had no pungent smell.
Bai Yinuo still drew a design before asking them to decorate. She liked the antique charm, and if conditions allowed, she would like to turn the entire restaurant into the Jin Yu Zhai of the Wei Dynasty.
But this was impossible, as she didn't even bring those priceless ornaments with her.
She could only try her best to make the decoration conform to her own aesthetic.
The second floor is now divided into two parts: private rooms and dining room. Although the area is not particularly large, eight private rooms have been built by making good use of the space. The area of the private room is not crowded and can accommodate a round table that can accommodate more than ten people.
Considering the utilization rate of the private room, Bai Yinuo can only use the private room if he/she orders it on the menu.
Although Xu's father said that the air quality was completely up to standard and he could live here himself, Bai Yinuo still kept the second floor empty for two days, bought a lot of decorations and put them in place before starting business.
The customers looked at the stairs and elevator next to the cashier counter and were very curious: "Boss, where does your elevator go? Does it go to the second floor? Isn't the second floor a training institution?"
"That training institution is no longer in operation. The second floor is also part of Baiji Restaurant. There are private rooms and dining in the restaurant."
The guests were all shocked when they heard the news.
After all, the last expansion took place not long ago, and it seems to be still vivid in my mind.
They didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Bai Ji Restaurant had grown bigger again, and its area had more than doubled.
The guests were very happy to hear the news, after all, it was good news for them.
One customer couldn't hide his joy: "Then my chances of getting a seat have doubled, right? Great, great."
Unexpectedly, my companion said coldly: "Don't you think there are a lot of new customers coming to Baiji recently? The speed of Baiji restaurant's expansion cannot keep up with the speed of new customers."
Customer: “…It hurts, my friend.”
——————
Zhang Mengmeng is a student at the Agricultural University in Hongning District. She is distracted every Friday because she has to think about where to go on the weekend. This Friday, the situation was even worse.
She wants to go to Baiji Restaurant!
She filmed the grand occasion of Baiji Restaurant 101 last time, but did not watch the interview, so she did not know who won in the end. The video on the leaderboard a few days ago gave her the answer. It turned out that the new waiter looked very much like Ji Yuchi!
But Zhang Mengmeng didn’t want to go to Baiji Restaurant because of Ji Yuchi. She was not a fan of Ji Yuchi, but a fan of Baiji Restaurant.
Baiji Restaurant released new news in WeChat Moments:
Baiji Restaurant: [To celebrate the second expansion of Baiji Restaurant, the 50th guest, the 100th guest, the 150th guest, and so on, every guest whose number is a multiple of 50 can get a dumpling.
Zi and glutinous rice balls, any type you want.]
After Zhang Mengmeng saw the photos of colorful dumplings on her WeChat Moments, her saliva began to flow.
She looked at the colorful dumplings on the screen and felt that her girlish heart, which had not been moved for eight hundred years, was actually moved.
She pinched her chin and said in the comment section of the mini program: [Oops, I can’t hide my identity anymore. Yes, I am the Little Magic Fairy, and this is the food in our Magic Fairy Castle. Fly rubbing hands.jpg]
But Zhang Mengmeng was too busy with schoolwork to come to Baiji Restaurant on weekdays, so she had to settle for the next best thing and order takeout.
However, these dumplings are really hard to get!
Zhang Mengmeng thought of the man in Baiji Restaurant whose eyes and eyebrows looked particularly like Ji Yuchi, and she felt very angry. It was all her fault that she had made Baiji Restaurant a hot topic, making her helpless in the face of Taobao's instant sales.
After finishing her last class, Zhang Mengmeng immediately took the subway and went to Baiji Restaurant with her live broadcast equipment.
Baiji Restaurant has the largest variety and quantity of dine-in dishes.
Zhang Mengmeng arrived not too late, but there were no more colorful dumplings, only ingot dumplings.
Zhang Mengmeng had no choice but to order Yuanbao dumplings.
While waiting, she turned on her live broadcast equipment and told the audience that she had come to Bai Ji Restaurant for dinner again.
[The anchor always comes to eat at non-meal times, making us jealous. This is a real shame.]
Zhang Mengmeng scratched her head and said awkwardly, "I can't help it. I only have time now. I tell you, if you have any other choice, don't come to the Agricultural University."
"By the way, I ordered the new product of Baiji Restaurant, Yuanbao dumplings. The name is so interesting. But the boss was busy and there were many people queuing behind him. I didn't ask what Yuanbao dumplings are. Do you know?"
[Those with less experience say they don’t know.]
[As the name suggests, it should be dumplings made in the shape of ingots.]
[I know, I know, I’ve made it at home, and it’s actually quite simple to make. You’ll know once the host eats it.]
After the Yuanbao dumplings were served, Zhang Mengmeng finally understood why they were called Yuanbao dumplings.
Zhang Mengmeng ordered dumplings without soup, so they were dry. The plate in front of her was filled with many golden dumplings, which looked like golden ingots at first glance.
When Bai Yinuo was making Yuanbao dumplings, he started with normal dumplings, but with less stuffing, then rolled the round dumpling wrapper around and glued the joints with water. Such dumplings look more delicate than ordinary Yuanbao dumplings, and if you don't look closely, you can't see the joints at all.
[No wonder the host was so surprised. I was also mistaken when I first saw it. It’s not a catchy title. It really looks like a round ingot.]
[As someone who has made Yuanbao dumplings, I have something to say. It seems that the boss not only shapes them well, but also puts a lot of effort into coloring. The reason why the outer skin of the Yuanbao dumplings is yellow is that it is made by mixing carrot juice with the flour. If the carrot juice is a little less or a little more, this realistic effect cannot be achieved.]
[You said everything you should have said, but you forgot to mention the timing. This dumpling is well shaped, and the edges are not collapsed. The boss has grasped the best timing.]
Zhang Mengmeng looked at the Yuanbao dumplings in front of her and didn't even know how to start. She felt that if she moved her chopsticks, she would destroy these Yuanbao dumplings that looked like works of art.
Finally, her appetite took over. Zhang Mengmeng picked up her chopsticks and quickly picked up a Yuanbao dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth. When the Yuanbao dumpling entered her mouth, she immediately said in surprise: "It smells so good."
As she bit the dumplings, the rich gravy flowed out. The pork was delicious and the shepherd's purse was refreshing. The shepherd's purse cleverly neutralized the fishy smell, balanced the nutrition, and enhanced the freshness. It can only be described as icing on the cake.
Zhang Mengmeng finished a dumpling in just a few bites, pinching her chin, as if thinking about something.
The audience was very curious when they saw that she was not moving.
[Why is the eating broadcaster eating so slowly today? Is it that the Yuanbao dumplings don’t suit your taste? This shouldn’t be the case. I am hungry just by looking at this Yuanbao dumplings.]
Zhang Mengmeng: "...I'm not a food broadcaster! I'm a serious travel broadcaster."
[Yeah, as long as you are happy.]
She looked at the comments and felt a bit of a headache, as if ever since she met Bai's Restaurant, she could no longer get rid of the reputation of being a foodie.
Zhang Mengmeng sighed and explained why she was silent just now: "Don't you eat dumplings with vinegar? I always eat dumplings with vinegar.
Vinegar. Before eating the Yuanbao dumplings, I found that there was no vinegar around, and was about to ask the boss for vinegar, but after eating a Yuanbao dumpling, I felt that I couldn’t eat vinegar anymore. ”
[Why? Aren’t vinegar and dumplings a perfect match?]
Zhang Mengmeng said: "I used to eat dumplings with vinegar because I felt that the taste of dumplings was a bit monotonous and a bit fishy, and I needed a strong flavor to buffer and relieve the greasiness. But the taste of the Yuanbao dumplings is already delicious enough, and it doesn't make people feel greasy, and it's especially comfortable in the mouth. If you use it with dumplings, it's a waste of food."
Zhang Mengmeng pointed at the people around her and said, "Look, are these guests eating with vinegar?"
The audience followed the camera to look at the other guests and found that there were really no common condiments such as vinegar and chili oil in front of the people eating dumplings.
The guests ate their dumplings leisurely, their hands moving at a fast pace and their faces showing great satisfaction. What was even more strange was that the guests hardly looked at their phones, as if looking at their phones would affect their appreciation of the food.
This is unimaginable for the audience. How can eating be as fun as using a mobile phone?
It seems that this dumpling... is really more fun than a mobile phone.
The audience was confused, but some of them understood what Zhang Mengmeng said.
After Zhang Mengmeng finished chatting with the audience, she continued to eat the hot dumplings. As she devoured the food, she thought, it would be great if she could eat dumplings like this every day.
Just when Zhang Mengmeng finished her meal and was about to leave, she suddenly noticed that some customers were holding a transparent sealed bag with the Bai Ji Restaurant logo on it and filled with dumplings.
Zhang Mengmeng then asked Su Momo who was passing by: "Hello, what are they holding?"
Su Momo said: "These are semi-finished dumplings made by our boss. You can eat them after you cook them."
Zhang Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she pulled Su Momo and asked, "Can I buy it?"
Su Momo said, "Go to the kitchen and ask the boss to get a bag of dumplings. I'll pay you."
Bai Yinuo was cooking in the kitchen. It was not mealtime, and Ji Zihuai was a quick learner who could already take over a lot of her work. She had nothing to do, so her cooking became much slower, and she was in a leisurely mood.
She minced chicken and fish into a paste, wrapped the paste around the quail eggs, and placed the meatballs on a plate nearby.
Bai Yinuo made twenty meatballs, just enough to use up all the ingredients, and then steamed them. She first took a plate, put a piece of lettuce on it, and then placed the steamed meatballs neatly on the lettuce.
The finished meatballs are small and round, as white as jade, and look very beautiful when paired with fresh and juicy lettuce.
Bai Yinuo has an elegant personality and gave this dish a name in his mind, called Jadeite White Jade.
At this moment, Zhang Mengmeng walked to the semi-open kitchen and asked politely
