From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

The preparations were in full swing in the back kitchen, and in the hall of Huiquan Building in front, there was another burst of firecrackers in front of the door of Huiquan Building.

Relatives and friends attending the wedding banquet entered one after another and took their seats.

Entering Huiquan Building and seeing the various decorations in the entire hall, it also surprised family and friends.

Whether it is the groom or the bride's relatives and friends, it is almost not the first time to attend the wedding banquet.

But with a unique layout like Huiquan Building, the whole venue is filled with a festive atmosphere.

It was the first time almost everyone saw it.

Standing at such a wedding banquet, it is natural to be infected by the joy.

Everyone had smiles on their faces and sat down one after another according to the name tags placed on the table.

After sitting down, I saw the various arrangements on the table, the bright red tablecloth, the cigarettes and wine specially prepared for the wedding banquet, and the festive ornaments specially arranged by Feng Zhengming of Huiquan Building.

Let the people sitting down naturally start some conversation.

"I didn't expect that the wedding banquet would go so well."

"Yes, I heard that this is the first time Huiquan House has held a wedding banquet, and it was really well done."

"Just by looking at these arrangements, you can see that they put a lot of thought into it."

"It looks like Huiquan Building is really good at hosting wedding banquets."

"Wedding banquets still depend on the food at the banquet. Huiquan Tower did catch up with Jufengde in terms of reputation in the past, but now it is not that famous."

"My friends and I have eaten at Huiquanlou. Their food is very good."

"That's normal. When there is a wedding banquet, many restaurants will not cook seriously."

"Yes, that family held a wedding banquet in Jubin Garden last time, and the food at the banquet was really not very good."

"Not to mention Jubinyuan, last year I went to Jufengde for a banquet, and the dishes at the Jufengde wedding banquet were not cooked well."

"It's normal that the dishes for the wedding banquet are not as good as usual. After all, there are so many tables to be cooked at once. It's impossible for the chef to cook them one by one."

During the conversation, although many people were dissatisfied with the dishes at the wedding banquet.

But almost everyone would make amends, thinking that there were too many banquets at the wedding and it was understandable that the restaurant would not do as well as usual.

This is also a common understanding among most families holding wedding banquets.

Anyway, as long as the food is edible, families holding wedding banquets will not look for restaurants for the banquet.

The people from the bride's family seeing off the bride were accompanied upstairs by people arranged by the groom's family.

Entering the specially prepared wedding reception room upstairs, the bride's parents were surprised to see off their relatives.

This is the first time for the relatives and friends of the bride's family to see off their bride, entering the private room of Huiquan Building.

After all, the private rooms in Huiquan Building are usually reserved by some bosses.

Today I stepped into the private room of Huiquan Building for the first time. I saw the various decorations in the private room, especially the festive temporary decorations, which made the bride's family feel very thoughtful when sending their relatives.

“The layout here is really good.”

"This is my first time in the private rooms of Huiquan Building. I didn't expect their private rooms to be so big."

"It seems that their private room is not only large, but the interior design is also very gorgeous."

"No wonder I heard that the private rooms in Huiquan Building are all booked by some wealthy bosses."

"Hahaha, today we will also experience the feeling of being a big boss."

The mother's family was invited into the private room and sat down under the greetings of the people accompanying the groom's family.

It was approaching 12 noon, and the wedding ceremony had already begun in the hall.

When Li Rong, who changed into a bright red cheongsam and walked to the stage in the middle of the hall, came on stage, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant hall instantly exploded.

"It's actually Li Rong?"

"It's really Li Rong. Are you inviting her to be the master of ceremonies?"

"I heard that the boss of Huiquan House asked for help."

"Oh, the boss of Huiquan Tower is really awesome."

With a smile on her face, Li Rong started directly with her opening remarks.

"Today is a happy day, a great day for the wedding of groom Zheng Tao and bride Liu Qing.

On this beautiful and sunny day, all relatives and friends came to Huiquan Building to witness their entry into the sacred palace of marriage...

Now let us welcome today's happiest groom and bride with applause. "

Li Rong is worthy of being the leading actress of the city TV station, and her performance on the spot is quite stable.

Even though it was her first time as a master of ceremonies, Li Rong was still very comfortable.

The opening remarks at the scene were really a bit full of emotion.

The moment the groom and the bride appeared on the stage, the lights in the hall dimmed under control, and then the ball lamp borrowed by Feng Zhengming cast a beam of light and fell on the groom and the bride.

Accompanied by the wedding march played from the live sound system, the bride and groom walked onto the stage in front of everyone.

Next came a set of wedding procedures, and the atmosphere was very high under the auspices of Li Rong, the master of ceremonies.

The groom and the bride received blessings from all the relatives and friends present.

When the wedding process was almost complete, Feng Zhengming immediately asked the waiting service staff to start serving food.

The service staff uses a cart to serve the cold dishes that have been placed in advance one table at a time.

Feng Zhengming quickly returned to the kitchen and shouted to the kitchen.

"Okay, okay, let's start taking out the dishes now. I'd like you to make some arrangements. Let go of the cooking and stewed dishes first. Put all the Bazhen Hydrangea Bag Chicken in the pot and steam it, and serve those last."

After making arrangements for Gu Zhicheng and the others, Feng Zhengming led Sun Hai and Chen Anbang to start preparing stir-fry dishes.

The senior brother came and took charge of the nine-turn large intestine and braised prawns.

Feng Zhengming, along with Sun Hai and Chen Anbang, were responsible for preparing the stir-fried shrimp tails.

Before Feng Zhengming came back, Sun Hai and Chen Anbang had already prepared the main ingredients plate by plate.

All shrimps are marinated in advance and coated with a thin layer of paste.

The kidney flowers were also cut into small pieces by Sun Hai.

Chen Anbang also carved the side dishes of carrots and lettuce into auspicious cubes.

And according to Feng Zhengming's usual habit, the two of them prepared everything one by one.

Even so, more than forty games is still a lot of work.

But Feng Zhengming started very quickly.

While Feng Zhengming was stir-frying, Gu Zhicheng and Yao Zhenhui had already taken out all kinds of cooking and stewing dishes and arranged them on the plates as Feng Zhengming had prepared them before.

Everything is laid out and placed on the prepared cart.

When the waiter came back, Gu Zhicheng arranged for the waiter to serve the food.

Qi Jiale, leading his two apprentices, placed all the prepared Bazhen Hydrangea Bag Chicken in soup bowls, and then poured in the prepared clear chicken soup.

Then put the soup bowl directly into the large steamer to heat.

It can be said that everyone in the kitchen is busy.

Li Huidong, with Bao Feng, Guan Wei and their two apprentices, was cooking the Nine-turn Large Intestine.

Li Huidong uses a large pot to cook several plates at the same time. The method still requires frying the sugar color first, and Li Huidong can also fry a sufficient amount of sugar color in a large pot at once.

After frying the sugar color, put the cut large intestine into the pot.

Then you must stir-fry quickly, otherwise the large intestine may not be evenly coated with sugar color in the pot, and the color may be different when it comes out of the pot.

Li Huidong's powerful spooning skills are fully displayed here.

The two apprentices, Bao Feng and Guan Wei, looked on in shock.

After Li Huidong's cooking, the large intestines turned beautiful maroon red one by one, and they absorbed enough soup.

Finally, you need to cook the vinegar, and sprinkle with Amomum villosum and cinnamon powder when it comes out of the pot.

Naturally, Bao Feng and Guan Wei couldn't use a big pot like Li Huidong. They used a small pot to cook two or three plates at a time.

The two apprentices were responsible for arranging the plates, and the number of nine-turn large intestines on each plate was just a few more than the number of guests at the table.

Arrange them one by one on the plate, like juicy jujubes.

After finishing the nine-turn large intestine, Li Huidong and the others next made braised prawns.

With Li Huidong doing it himself and teaching Bao Feng and Guan Wei some experience, it was also easy for them to master some tips.

So when the three of them work together, the efficiency is also improved a lot.

Feng Zhengming was speculating plate after plate. Because he needed to ensure efficiency, Feng Zhengming was in a hot spot almost the whole time.

This is also a great test for his spooning skills and fire control.

After thirty consecutive games, Feng Zhengming was obviously starting to feel tired.

After all, he has to do more than 40 games by himself.

At this time, Sun Hai also took the initiative to stand up and help Feng Zhengming take over the rest.

Feng Zhengming hesitated and finally agreed to let Sun Hai take over.

After the two people exchanged, Feng Zhengming stared at Sun Hai and saw that his spooning skills had indeed improved a lot during this period, and his dishes were very stable one after another.

In fact, it is not difficult to cook a lot of dishes in the kitchen in two plates carefully.

The real difficulty is whether it can maintain stability.

To be able to do every game well is a very difficult task.

At today's wedding banquet, Feng Zhengming saw Sun Hai's steady progress in this stir-fried shrimp tail.

This is what Feng Zhengming hopes to see. This wedding banquet can better train the kitchen team.

The guests who originally attended the wedding banquet saw that Huiquan Restaurant did not serve the same wedding banquets as other restaurants and started serving dishes while the wedding was in progress. Many people thought that Huiquan Restaurant was not prepared to serve dishes?
But when the wedding process was almost over, Huiquanlou began to serve dishes to one table after another.

Seeing the beautiful and sumptuous dishes on the table, the guests were instantly speechless.

There are four cold dishes, and the presentation of each dish is very particular.

The key is the amount of cold dishes.

Some guests who knew how to eat could tell at a glance that the cold dishes were all made by Huiquan House.

"Have you seen this braised pork elbow? It's obviously made by someone themselves. It's not like the kind that might be served at wedding banquets in some small restaurants. They may buy it from outside and then cut it up and serve it on the plate."

Some guests who have eaten at Huiquanlou said: "This elbow is delicious. I had it last time. The more I chewed it, the more delicious it became."

Soon after the cold dishes were served, various hot dishes began to be served one after another.

The arrival of hot dishes once again allowed the guests to see the power of the Huiquan Tower wedding banquet.

"Hey, the food is really served very slowly, and the food is almost exactly the same as the one I made when I came to Huiquan Restaurant before."

"There are also sea cucumbers. This sea cucumber braised elbow is beautifully done."

"This braised pork is also good. It has abalone in it. The braised pork is salty here, unlike some braised pork in the south that is more sweet and delicious."

"The abalone is also cooked very well."

"This is good. This three-strand scallop is so beautiful."

The guests at each table watched the dishes being served one after another, and they were all amazed by the beautiful presentation and exquisite cooking of these dishes.

It can be said that it was the first time for many guests present to see such a dish at a wedding banquet.

Everyone's topics also changed from discussing dishes to discussing the chef of Huiquanlou.

"I really didn't expect that Huiquanlou, I heard it was just a group of young chefs, could cook so well."

"Yes, every dish is cooked quite well."

"It can be so good at wedding banquets. Many big restaurants can't compare to this."

"Young chefs are still very motivated and want to make better food."

"There are more than forty tables today, right? With so many tables, the dishes can be cooked so well. It's really amazing."

"How else could my chef be the number one young chef?"

Wait until the groom, bride and groom's parents start toasting table by table.

Guests at almost every table would praise the groom's family for choosing Huiquan House for their wedding banquet.

"This is definitely the first time I've had such a good wedding banquet."

"Old Zheng, your family is really good at choosing restaurants."

"Thank you, Lao Zheng, for your hospitality today. The food was rich and delicious. Today's wedding was also held very well. It was great."

"This shows that the future marriage of the groom and the bride will be as beautiful as today's wedding banquet."

After the bridegroom and bride toasted, all the dishes were served and almost all were eaten by everyone.

In the back kitchen, Lu Chongshan's cooked flower pastries were also steamed out of the pot.

Feng Zhengming asked everyone to place the dishes one by one, and then began to serve them to the guests.

Everyone originally thought that this wedding banquet was already great.

But when the pastries were served one after another, the guests were shocked again.

At the last table of the groom and bride, Feng Zhengming personally pushed the cart to them.

Their portion of cakes not only had auspicious flower cakes with dragons and phoenixes on the plate, Feng Zhengming also carved decorative carvings of dragons and phoenixes on the plate.

When such a plate of pastries was pushed up.

From the moment we came out of the kitchen, the entire hall became quiet.

Everyone's eyes fell on such a plate of pastries.

The lifelike carvings of a dragon and a phoenix seem to be hovering on the plate, and the plate contains the same pastry as every table.

This grand and festive scene made the guests who drank too much seem to have sobered up in an instant.

The bride and groom and their families all stood up.

They did not expect that Feng Zhengming would prepare such a wedding banquet dish for them.

Just by looking at the carvings of a dragon and a phoenix, you can understand Feng Zhengming's intention in preparing this dish.

Feng Zhengming pushed them in front of the groom and the bride. He said with a smile: "Congratulations to you. I wish you a happy wedding and a sweet life."

The scene instantly burst into applause, and the groom and bride excitedly stepped forward to express their gratitude to Feng Zhengming. (End of chapter)
