Chapter 669： 4 professional diners

The people brought by Zhuang Daozhong still surprised Feng Yifan as a big family.

Among the visitors, two of them are well-known scholars of Redology, and two of them are heavyweights in the domestic culinary world.

One is the president of the Chinese Culinary Association, and the other is the president of the Chinese Food Promotion Research Association.

Faced with the presence of such a few big names, not to mention Su Jinrong, even Feng Yifan was a little surprised.

Su Jinrong struggled to get up, wanting to take the initiative to say hello to the two heavyweights in the culinary world.

Chairman Zhuo of the Chinese Food Publicity Research Association hurriedly supported Su Jinrong and said: "Old Su, you don’t have to stand up. You still have to take care of your body. Speaking of which, I am considered half of your father’s student. I'm courteous, but I can't afford it."

Chairman Cai of the Culinary Arts Association next to him also said: "No, here today, Chairman Zhuo and I are the same generation as Jinrong, and Chairman Zhuo and I are also half apprentices of Mr. Quan Sheng. We can They are all juniors of the old Zhuang.

When Zhuang Daozhong heard this, he suddenly laughed: "Lao Cai, you are telling me like you are leaning on the old and selling the old."

Chairman Cai smiled and said: "Old Zhuang, you really don’t be humble. Here, Chairman Zhuo and I are really juniors. You are the former assistant of Mr. Quan Sheng. We all know this, and You are now considered one of the few masters who have experienced many state banquets."

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and shook his head and said: "Now I can't do it anymore. Comparing with Yifan, I can clearly feel the power of the waves behind the river."

Feng Yifan didn't expect that, as he said this, he turned to himself.

He also hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle Shi, don’t say that. I am a junior, and many things need to be learned from the elders, especially this Red House Banquet and Red House Cuisine. I also need to talk with two Red House scholars. Explore and learn more."

The two scholars of Redology looked at each other. They only found out here today that the two of them can only be considered juniors.

Whether it is in terms of age or some qualifications, the two scholars of Redology are indeed late.

Seeing so many people present, Su Ruoxi couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Shi, why don't you sit here and I will take your children to the next door, otherwise so many children, will you be disturbed here?"

Zhuang Daozhong immediately said: "No need, Ruoxi, you just sit here, these children will be fine to hear, and they can improve the children's knowledge. Maybe in the future, some of these children will be able to inherit the clothes of our old men. What about?"

Zhuang Daozhong's words immediately won the approval of Chairman Cai and Chairman Zhuo.

President Zhuo said: “Yes, right now, most young people like foreign things more. They don’t understand many of our own things, which leads to our own cultural loss, especially now that even food is admired by the West. I think Western food is a more lofty thing, and it should be let the children listen more."

Chairman Cai nodded and said: "No, Western food and beverage publicity has been very strong in recent years, which has caused many people in China to regard Western restaurants as more advanced, but in fact, our own Chinese cuisine is also very high-end, and every dish It also has more cultural connotations."

The views of the two presidents naturally made everyone agree, especially the two scholars of the Red Mansion Research.

One of the younger said: "This is indeed the case. If you study the Dream of Red Mansions carefully, you will find that every dish in the Red Mansions Banquet is very sophisticated. It is not only the craftsmanship responsible for extravagance, but also a lot of culture. Contained in it."

The older research scholar also said: "Yes, our own cuisine is also very high-end, and we are more cultural."

Because a stranger came in, the children were all silent, and they didn't dare to talk casually like before.

Among the children, Han Wenwen was fairly calm and comfortable.

Yue Qihao tried to sit as hard as he could, feeling like a class in school.

Ning Guang was even more nervous, lowered his head and dare not even speak.

Among several children, Feng Ruoruo may be the only one who is bolder.

One is because when I was a child, I often ran and played among the big and small shops on the ancient street, and the other was because my grandfather, mom and dad, and grandpa Zhuang were also there, so Feng Ruoruo was also emboldened.

Feng Yifan and everyone talked about a lot of food and culture, especially the dishes in the Red House Banquet.

This is the strong point of the two Honglou scholars, and the two immediately began to talk eloquently.

Although the two scholars are not very old, among the domestic scholars on the study of the Red Mansions, they are also considered to be relatively well-known experts, and the two specialize in research on the Red Mansions Banquet.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the two scholars can be said to have a lot of room for development.

When it comes to red house dishes, the most prestigious eggfish, both of them have different opinions.

The young scholar said: "I think that the method of the eggplant may not be what Wang Xifeng said in the book. After all, Wang Xifeng is a lady of the world. Is it really hard to say whether she has actually cooked such a dish? Maybe she just listened to it. After all, the retelling is not complete."

Older scholars have different opinions: "Perhaps Wang Xifeng's report is indeed missing, but it does not mean that there will be many discrepancies in the approach. I think the basic approach should be correct.

The two people's opinions are obviously different, which naturally caused a dispute between the two people.

And seeing the two scholars arguing with no one beside them also made everyone in the room look at each other and smile bitterly.

When the two people were arguing endlessly, Feng Ruoruo couldn't help but muttered: "Huh, my father's food is delicious."

Originally, Feng Ruoruo's muttering would not have been noticed during the dispute between the two scholars.

But when Feng Ruoruo was speaking, the two scholars seemed to feel that the argument was wrong, and they stopped at the same time, causing the room to become quiet for a moment.

As a result, Feng Ruoruo's voice was particularly prominent in the entire room.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on the little girl.

Feng Ruoruo, like a kid who did something wrong, quickly got down from his position and quickly ran to hide behind his father to prevent everyone from seeing him.

It seems that as long as you hide behind your father and prevent everyone from seeing yourself, then what you just said will not be heard.

The two scholars hesitated for a while, looked at Feng Yifan together and asked, "Chef Feng, then, did you make eggplant?"

Feng Yifan took her daughter out from behind, hugged her and said, "Well, I have made some experiments and slightly improved the method. It may be different from the book and the method in the book. But the taste should be pretty good."

Sitting in her father's arms, Feng Ruoruo suddenly seemed to have a backing, and when he was confident, he spoke again.

"My dad made delicious."

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and asked the little girl: "Did Ruoruo eat Dad's cooking?"

Seeing that it was Mrs. Zhuang’s questioning, Feng Ruoruo boldly said: “Yes, Dad made it for us. Me, grandpa, mother, grandparents, and sister Wenwen and brother Haohao have all eaten it. Dad made it. It's delicious, it's made from that eggplant."

Han Wenwen also said at this time: "Well, it's really delicious. What Uncle Yifan made is the eggplant in the book."

Yue Qihao was stunned first, and when Han Wenwen gave him a push, he quickly said, "Yes, it's delicious."

With the confirmation, Zhuang Daozhong and the others are even more curious.

Zhuang Daozhong continued to ask Feng Yifan: "Yifan, I'm really curious, how did you make that eggplant? You said your approach is different from the book, then how did you do it?"

Feng Yifan didn't conceal it, but replied directly: "I used the Babao Hot Sauce method to make it."

Then, Feng Yifan explained his detailed method again.

After listening to the practice, Zhuang Daozhong and others fell into deep thought.

The two Red Mansions research scholars frowned a little at Feng Yifan's approach, seeming to think that his approach did not follow the approach recorded in the original book.

However, Zhuang Daozhong and the two presidents, obviously from the perspective of culinary art, find Feng Yifan's approach a bit amazing.

Because according to the method of the original book, not to mention the cumbersome process, it is to use chicken soup to steam and dry. Whether this can really steam the taste of chicken soup into eggplant is unknown.

Therefore, many people try to restore such a dish according to the records in the Dream of Red Mansions, but in the end there is always a lack of fire.

But now Feng Yifan uses Babao Hot Sauce.

And he first cooked the eggplant to let the flavor penetrate into the eggplant, and then air-dried the eggplant.

This seems to be a more modern process, but at the same time it may be a better way to restore the taste.

Zhuang Daozhong thought about it for a moment, raised his head and looked at Feng Yifan and asked, "Yifan, did you bring back your eggplant? Can we try it?"

Feng Yifan was a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle Shi, I really haven't brought it back."

Su Jinrong also said: "This time we came back, we mainly brought our children to play, and to see Ruifeng’s child. I didn’t expect that Master Shu, you would bring Chairman Cai, Chairman Zhuo and two research experts over to talk about Red Mansions. , So I did not bring it back."

Zhuang Daozhong responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we will taste it again when you return to Su Ji."

Chairman Cai and Chairman Zhuo also nodded in agreement.

The two scholars also said that they would try Feng Yifan's eggfish.

Feng Yifan naturally agreed: "Okay, after we come back, Su Ji has completed the decoration. I will invite everyone to come. As the first group of guests of Su Ji, I will definitely let everyone taste it. Some dishes created by Dad."

Hearing these words, Zhuang Daozhong and others naturally looked forward to it.

"Okay, then we are looking forward to it."

"Yes, yes, it's really an honor to be able to taste the original dishes jointly created by the two generations of Su Ji."

"Yes, I look forward to Yifan being able to recreate the glory of Su Ji back then."

"Well, I'm also looking forward to Chef Feng's original egg carp."

"Looking forward to Chef Feng's Red House dishes."

Feng Yifan put her daughter down and asked her to return to her seat. At that time, the food was also served at Fujinglou.

After the first round of hors d'oeuvres, Feng Yifan also got up to pour the wine for everyone, and then greeted everyone to toast.

"Today I have a little wine. It is an honour for our family to come here. Feng Yifan respects everyone.

Zhuang Daozhong and others naturally raised their glasses, and then everyone drank the first glass together.

After drinking the first cup, Feng Yifan pointed to the cold cuts on the table and said: "Come on, everyone eat dishes, taste the current dishes of Fujinglou, and see if they can meet the preferences of all gourmets."

At the same time, Feng Yifan turned his head and said to Su Ruoxi: "Wife, take the kids and eat too."

Zhuang Daozhong heard: "Yes, Ruoxi, you and the children eat together, you are welcome, don't be cautious because we are here."

Su Ruoxi smiled and nodded: "Good Master Uncle."

Next, everyone naturally eats together.

First of all, the two scholars of Red Mansions were a little excited because they saw the "Bad Duck Letter".

"Oh, this bad duck letter is really good."

"It's authentic, and the outer skeleton is specifically removed, leaving only the most tender part. This is something that many bad ducks have never done. What kind of family is that in the Dream of Red Mansions, how can it leave those branches with branches? ?"

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "Hahaha, this dish is improved by Yifan and passed on to the back chef of Fujinglou."

The two presidents and two scholars were a little surprised.

"So it was Chef Feng's handwriting? No wonder."

"Sure enough, no wonder Mr. Zhuang has been praising you all the time."

"Admire, Chef Feng seems to have a deep research on our culture."

"Yes, if you can understand the spending habits of some big families in ancient times, then you can think of doing such a seemingly simple bad duck letter."

Feng Yifan was praised one after another, and still responded with humiliation: "Several people are too acclaimed. I just think that since it is to reproduce the dishes, it is natural to respect the cultural background behind it. Moreover, as the leader of the Huaicheng catering industry, Fujinglou is still It must be refined enough."

Hearing this Zhuang Daozhong and others agree very much.

Chairman Cai said: "The so-called food is never tired of fine food. This time we and Mr. Zhuang took advantage of the opportunity to select Chinese dishes. We also went to many restaurants across the country and went to some so-called local representative restaurants, but to be honest, We are a little disappointed."

Chairman Zhuo continued: "Yes, I'm very disappointed, because too many restaurants don't pay attention to the word ‘exquisite’."

Zhuang Daozhong said: "This is actually related to the uneven quality of the chefs. Those things that should have been done may have been ignored by many people."

Chairman Cai sighed: "Just because you don't learn well, you don't learn well, and you don't do it well."

After hearing several people's words, Feng Yifan and his father-in-law looked at each other, and Weng and his son-in-law had already heard some clues. It seems vaguely able to guess the purpose of Zhuang Daozhong's special trip with these few people today.

It should be planned that Feng Yifan will come forward to carry out a series of standardized promotion, so that more people can understand the true essence of Chinese cuisine, especially what exquisite Chinese cuisine should look like.
