Chapter Seven: What Delicacies Should We Prepare?
"sure.
"Please go ahead."
Desperate for a cure, the overweight chef quickly led Lin Sen into the kitchen after he finished speaking.
Although he didn't know what Lin Sen was going to do, or whether Lin Sen could actually do it.
But he knew he definitely couldn't get 20 pounds of yellowfin seabream in two days.
So since Lin Sen wants to give it a try.
He must have been desperate and decided to give Lin Sen a try.
What if Lin Sen really has the ability and can actually save him?
He certainly didn't want to lose his valuable job as the head chef of Huifu Hotel!
"Please wait a moment."
Upon entering the kitchen, Lin Sen looked at the earthen stove in front of him, lit the fire, heated the pot, and then prepared ingredients such as scallions, ginger, garlic, vegetables, potatoes, and sliced meat for cooking.
Although Huifu Hotel is one of the top three hotels in Linhai County.
However, the kitchen still used a traditional earthen stove made of honeycomb briquettes.
They had not yet used the coal gas and natural gas that we are familiar with in later generations.
Gas stoves wouldn't become widespread across the country until the 1990s. Natural gas, on the other hand, would come even later, after the turn of the millennium.
"Brother, if you need anything, just let me know."
Watching Lin Sen cook on the hot stove, the chubby chef stood somewhat uneasy to the side, nervously rubbing his hands together.
Because if Lin Sen cannot gain the manager's trust.
That would be terrible for him!
"alright!"
Half an hour later, under the anxious gaze of the fat chef, Lin Sen served two dishes.
A simple, home-style hot and sour shredded potatoes dish.
The other dish was a spicy boiled pork slice dish, carefully prepared by Lin Sen!
This spicy boiled pork slices might not be to the liking of locals in Linhai County.
But this Mr. Li has lived in Sichuan for decades.
Lin Sen was certain that Old Li would be able to enjoy his specially made spicy boiled pork slices!
You should know that this dish is a secret recipe that Lin Sen learned from a state banquet chef with seventy years of experience for three whole months when he was working as a transporter in Sichuan!
The flavor is quite different from the usual spicy boiled pork slices.
It's just spicy.
Lin Sen's dish is numbing, spicy, and fresh, and it melts in your mouth, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste!
"Hey gentlemen, want to try some?"
Lin Sen took out chopsticks and handed them to the fat chef and manager.
"I'll give it a try."
The chubby chef took the chopsticks and first ate a bite of the hot and sour shredded potatoes.
Then he picked up a slice of spicy boiled pork.
"hiss."
"So spicy, so spicy!"
After swallowing the boiled pork slices, the chubby chef immediately started panting from the spiciness.
As a local from Linhai, he couldn't get used to spicy food.
"But it's really delicious!"
"Manager, please try it."
After taking a sip of water to suppress the spiciness, the chubby chef looked at the middle-aged male manager with excitement: "Even though I don't usually eat spicy food, I think this dish is really delicious!"
"This seasoning is amazing!"
The chubby chef gave Lin Sen a thumbs-up with admiration.
Knowing that Mr. Li loved spicy food, he had tried his hand at cooking Sichuan cuisine before. However, his attempts completely missed the essence of the dish.
There was simply no way to satisfy Old Li's appetite!
"This tastes really good."
At this moment, the middle-aged male manager, who had also tasted a few bites of hot and sour shredded potatoes and spicy boiled pork slices, looked at Lin Sen with great surprise.
Some were amazed by Lin Sen's culinary skills.
"So, my two brothers, please give me a chance regarding Elder Li's matter."
"Even without yellowfin seabream, I will definitely make a dish that will satisfy Old Master Li!"
Lin Sen looked at the fat chef and the middle-aged male manager with a very serious expression.
"manager."
Unable to obtain yellowfin seabream, the chubby chef looked pleadingly at the middle-aged male manager.
Lin Sen, this is his lifeline!
"Manager, if Mr. Li is not satisfied with the food I prepared..."
Lin Sen said with a serious expression, "If anything happens, just push it onto me! I'll take full responsibility."
"If Elder Li is satisfied, I have no further requests."
"Twenty catties of wild yellowfin seabream would cost at least a thousand yuan at the current market price."
"I only want four hundred!"
Lin Sen held up four fingers to the middle-aged male manager.
"Four hundred yuan?"
Looking at Lin Sen, who was making a confident statement, and glancing at the middle-aged male manager who was serving hot and sour shredded potatoes and spicy boiled pork slices, the manager frowned slightly and hesitated.
For Huifu Hotel, four hundred yuan is not much.
After all, this is Old Master Li's birthday banquet!
So as long as Old Li is happy with the food, let alone four hundred yuan, even four thousand yuan is not too much!
Anyway, it's not his own money; it's all public money. As long as he takes good care of Old Li, he won't mind spending any amount of money.
After all, using public funds to do personal favors is entirely beneficial to him!
"Manager, let him give it a try."
The fat chef muttered to himself.
What dishes are you planning to make?
After some hesitation and thought, the manager looked at Lin Sen with a very serious expression: "Your shredded potatoes and spicy boiled pork slices taste good."
"But just these two dishes."
"not enough."
"Old Li likes to eat all kinds of wild delicacies from the mountains and the sea."
The manager knew very well that Old Li was a very picky eater.
I've long lost interest in ordinary home-cooked dishes.
That's why Old Li's son spent a lot of money to prepare 20 catties of rare wild yellowfin seabream six months in advance!
