Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

The old man was so angry that he almost broke his beard.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Xu Dahai's craftsmanship is far inferior to me. The piece of fish is as hard as a brick. It's obviously too hot. You can't even taste it?"

Zhang Jiaqiang smiled and said, "It seems that it has been a long time and my memory is blurred, but I personally feel that Master Xu's craftsmanship is already very good. If the guests are satisfied with the food, your reputation will definitely not be insulted!"

These words were tantamount to belittling Gao Yishao in disguise. The old man was about to get angry when he suddenly realized that he had been tricked.

As the old saying goes, the old man has lived a long life and has a very clear mind. He immediately smiled.

"Boy, if you want to challenge the old man, you are still a bit immature. If you say you can't cook today, you won't cook!"

After that, turn around and leave!

Old Man Gao was not fooled, so Zhang Jiaqiang made another plan after his plan failed.

"I heard that you have been studying ancient recipes recently?"

Since Gao Yishao retired, he has focused on restoring traditional recipes. He stopped and asked, "What, do you have any advice?"

Zhang Jiaqiang said, "How dare I do anything in front of you? I just heard about a famous dish. I wonder if you can copy it!"

Gao Yishao immediately became interested, turned around and said, "What dish is it, and what recipe is it recorded in?"

“Fried ice cream!”

Gao Yishao's eyes widened in anger, "This kind of heresy is hard to reach the level of elegance, and I dare say it's a famous dish. It's really ridiculous!"

In order to convince Zhang Jiaqiang, Gao Yishao called Xu Dahai to come to him and whispered a few words to him.

Xu Dahai nodded repeatedly and ran into the kitchen. After a while, he brought out a plate of something that looked like fried dough sticks.

Zhang Jiaqiang picked up a piece and tasted it. It was indeed crispy on the outside and cold on the inside.

Guo Yonggang also tasted a piece and exclaimed how cool it was.

Gao Yishao sneered and said, "This thing is just a gimmick. The popsicles are covered with dry powder on the outside, then hung with batter, and put into the oil pan quickly in and out. It's not delicious and can't be served on the table. You must be convinced now!"

It is said that this dish has been around for a long time, but few people make it. However, it was made popular by a famous TV series, and later many chefs copied it.

Zhang Jiaqiang watched many imitation videos in his previous life. Among them, there was an old chef who made it very delicately and he remembered the method.

Today, in order to invite Gao Yishao to come out, he decided to take a risk.

"Old man, the fried popsicles and the fried ice cream you asked Master Xu to make are completely different things. I remember that the fried ice cream combines color, fragrance and flavor, and is definitely not something superficial!"

Gao Yishao raised his eyebrows, "If you can make this dish, the old man will cook it himself at noon today and prepare a big banquet for you!"

Zhang Jiaqiang smiled awkwardly, "I can't even fry vegetables, how can I cook such high-end dishes!"

"You won't do nonsense and waste your time!" Gao Yishao said and rolled up his sleeves and left.

Zhang Jiaqiang hurriedly shouted, "Although I don't know how to make it, I remember how to make it. I can tell Master Xu the steps and let him try it!"

Gao Yishao raised his hand angrily as a sign of invitation, pulled up a chair and sat aside.

Zhang Jiaqiang called Xu Dahai and went straight to the kitchen. This took a long time. Just when Gao Yishao was about to get impatient, they came out of the kitchen with a large plate.

A watch plate with a diameter of two feet was placed on the table. Gao Yishao was stunned when he saw it.

I saw that the plate seemed to be covered with a layer of white snow. On top of the white snow, a small wooden house was built with a few golden ingredients. With the distant mountains and woods spliced ​​with fruits and vegetables, it was simply a snow scene.

In this hot summer, just one glance makes you feel that the temperature in the room has dropped a few degrees, making you reluctant to put down your chopsticks.Guo Yonggang exclaimed, "Good guy, this thing is so bluffing, it looks delicious!"

Gao Yishao sneered and said, "It's just a punter. The white snow is foam made from egg whites. When heated, it turns into the shape of snow. It's too fancy, but the taste is mediocre at best!"

Zhang Jiaqiang picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Lao Gao.

"You always try it!"

Gao picked up a piece of wooden house with a spoon, took a bite, and his expression suddenly became wonderful.

"Oh, it turns out that ice cream is sandwiched with egg skins, then stuck with egg whites, and quickly fried in a pan. This way, the outside is crispy, the inside is sweet and cool, and it can be kept warm for a long time. It's good, not shocking, but it's also unique. , I lost this time!"

The master is really a master. Just one taste and you can understand the connotation inside.

What's even more admirable is that he is willing to admit defeat without being pretentious at all, and he looks so generous and generous!

Lao Gao took the chef's uniform from Xu Dahai and entered the kitchen without saying a word.

Xu Dahai gave a thumbs up to Zhang Jiaqiang, "Brother, I'm convinced. No one else can do anything to make the old man take action himself. You can make the old man admit defeat with just a piece of cake. That's awesome!"

Zhang Jiaqiang said with a smile, "This is because the old man's hands are itchy after seeing the dishes you cooked. It's not my fault!"

Everyone knew that this was Zhang Jiaqiang being modest, and they burst into laughter.

"What are you so happy about?"

A middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved white shirt walked into the store.

Zhang Jiaqiang hurriedly greeted him and said, "Mr. Wang, it's better to come early than to come by chance. Before it melts, come and cool down!"

The visitor is none other than Mr. Wang from Oriental Commercial Building - Wang Xuefeng!

The distance is not too far. Wang Xuefeng walked here after get off work. He was sweating profusely and wanted to have something cold. He immediately picked up the fried ice cream and ate two pieces.

The food made him shout that it was cool!
Seeing the guests coming, Xu Dahai hurriedly went to the kitchen to help.

Zhang Jiaqiang motioned to Guo Yonggang to help pour tea, and said to Wang Xuefeng, "Where are Mr. Wang's guests? They won't stop coming!"

Wang Xuefeng put down his chopsticks, "If they dare, I have to give them my face. Don't worry, brother, none of them will be left behind!"

He looked at the environment in the store and said, "This store was very good a few years ago. Later, Master Gao retired and changed chefs, and the business became worse and worse. You can see that there are not even two tables of customers for dinner!"

Zhang Jiaqiang said, "Master Gao is cooking today, it's absolutely classic and old-fashioned!"

Wang Xuefeng was a little unconvinced, but he didn't point it out. The topic changed and they started chatting.

At this moment, a white Santana parked in front of the store, and four people got out of the car and walked into the store.

Wang Xuefeng stood up slowly and laughed, "You guys are quite stuck. Why are you afraid that you will be early and not be able to eat?"

The leading man was in his early fifties and had a somewhat handsome figure. He walked a few steps quickly, held Wang Xuefeng's hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you have been waiting for a long time. We were only delayed for a few minutes because we were waiting for a guest from afar. We will be here later." Give me a drink as punishment, ha!"

Wang Xuefeng pointed at them, "You can't punish yourself. None of you can run away!"

After saying that, he pointed at the leading man and turned to introduce Zhang Jiaqiang.

"This is the leader of the small commodity wholesale market, Boss Yang!"

"This ancient talented person specializes in wholesale lighters, and his business covers the entire province!"
