Chapter 144: Ask Elder Zhou to Come Out
The receptionist at the front desk was stunned when he saw the business card issued by Chen Hao.
Because she knew what this business card meant in this Ouyue Building.
"How is that possible?"
"How could he have Chef Lin's business card?"
"In the past, even if the city leaders came, they might not be able to get Chef Lin's business card!" Miss Yingbin was surprised. Even the suit security guards who were staring at him behind Chen Hao's eyes softened.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I will contact Chef Lin immediately." Miss Yingbin said politely, then lowered her head and pressed an electronic pager at the front desk.
About a few minutes later, Lin Zhenghong, dressed in black and red chef's uniform, walked out from behind the screen in the reception hall.
"Who is the owner of Ruicheng [No. 1 in the World] store?" Lin Zhenghong said with excitement.
Since I accompanied Mr. Zhou to taste the [Golden Ratio Sauce] made by Chen Hao some time ago, Lin Zhenghong has been obsessed with this [No. 1 in the World] store in Ruicheng.
After all, there are not many restaurants and hotels in Wenshi that can be included in Lin Zhenghong's eyes.
Especially the four-colored stew made in the store [No. 1 in the world] has received the highest praise from his teacher!
You know, his mentor Mr. Zhou is the most popular national chef in the state banquet. If he is released, he is a person who can shake his trembling even if he steps in the cooking industry.
Even Mr. Zhou commented: "The world's number one, and the well-deserved world's number one!"
It is conceivable how deeply the [Golden Rattan] made by Chen Hao left in Lin Zhenghong's mind.
Especially before leaving, Mr. Zhou asked Lin Zhenghong to leave a business card. In order to meet the master behind this [No. 1 in the world] store on one day, he would meet with friends.
However, after seeing Chen Hao's young face, Lin Zhenghong's originally calm expression finally showed a hint of surprise.
"hiss!"
"So young!"
"How could that master behind the scenes of the [No. 1 in the World] store be so young?"
"Can it be... the disciple of that master?"
Lin Zhenghong was shocked, but on the surface he still spoke a few words to Chen Hao.
Especially after inquiring, the dishes in the store were all from Chen Hao's hands. Lin Zhenghong's frowns at the corners of his eyebrows finally couldn't help but thrust.
"Brother Chen, where are you mastering your craftsmanship that is comparable to the world's number one in the world?"
"Since I went back to your store and tried the kind of roasted wheat, my brother's mentor has been obsessed with your skills!" Lin Zhenghong pulled Chen Hao with a familiar look, and asked enthusiastically while entering the VIP room of Ouyue Building.
"Brother Lin has won the award. This craft was learned by chance when I was studying in the imperial capital."
"As for my teacher, I am just a down-and-out imperial chef, who passed away a few years ago. As for my name! That senior refused to let me talk about it." Chen Hao scratched his head and made up a reason.
"What? That senior has passed away!"
Lin Zhenghong looked surprised. After thinking about Chen Haomo and Ling's answer, he felt that what the other party said was not like a lie.
Because the stewed meat craftsmanship in Chen Hao’s shop can only be made by the imperial chefs in the northern palace.
According to Chen Hao's experience of going to the imperial capital to study, the location is exactly the same.
After all, when the Qing Dynasty was overthrown a hundred years ago, I don’t know how many imperial chefs in the imperial kitchens in the palace were wandering in the Ming Dynasty.
These chefs with the best Chinese craftsmanship have opened a famous restaurant and passed on their craftsmanship for a long time. They may spend their lives in hiding their names, even in modern history books, and they will find clues.
According to Lin Zhenghong's guess, the "senior expert" Chen Hao met should belong to the latter.
Just when he thought of the pastry craft that could be called the [No. 1 in the world], now that Chen Hao is only the descendant of such a young man, Lin Zhenghong's eyes flashed with disappointment and said a few words: "What a pity!"
Because in the eyes of serious people who study cooking, the profound cooking skills are inseparable from the long-term accumulation of years, months and days.
Whether it is knife skills, heat, or frying and cooking, without decades of hard work, it is simply learning some fur.
How many crafts can a chef as young as Chen Hao inherit from the "senior master" imagined by Lin Zhenghong?
Not to mention 70% or 80% or 80% or 10% of them, Lin Zhenghong probably has to thank God if he can learn half of them!
However, what Lin Zhenghong never expected was that Chen Hao's cooking skills were not learned from the imperial kitchen chef.
Instead, it was drawn from a special chef and a special pastry chef in "China's First Edition".
In reality, the dishes produced in comics can be as bright as adding fluorescent agents. If you take them out, you can easily rank first in the world!
...
After chatting in the VIP room for half an hour, even half a pot of tea was poured down. Chen Hao finally couldn't sit still and explained the origin of the trip.
"Brother Lin, I came here this time and actually planned to ask Senior Zhou for something." Chen Hao said seriously.
"Oh? Please, Master?"
"Let me tell me!" Lin Zhenghong said seriously.
"That's right, I opened a new store next to the Yulou in Ruicheng. I just struggled with the lack of skill in cooking seafood, so I planned to invite a respected chef to take charge." Chen Hao explained slowly.
"The best in the world?"
"Tsk tsk! Brother Chen's store name is really..."
Lin Zhenghong thought about it for a few words, then glanced at Chen Hao with a little meaning and said, "But Brother Chen, my mentor has been sealed for more than 10 years. Even if you can convince him to come out, we disciples probably don't agree."
"After all, his mentor is old and has several elderly diseases. It's better to stay away from the stove."
After hearing Lin Zhenghong's words, Chen Hao nodded in agreement. After all, Mr. Zhou is there now. Not to mention that he has physical problems, even if he is not bad, his cooking skills will probably deteriorate early.
Because when this person is old, his sense of smell, taste, and flexibility of his hands and feet will continue to weaken.
Once a chef encounters these irresistible "killers", it is reasonable to retire early and give advice to his disciples.
However, when he thought of his [the world's No. 1 Freshman] and there was a celebrity chef who could support his store, Chen Hao continued to ask in a lingering manner: "Brother Lin, since Mr. Zhou cannot come out of the mountain. I wonder if your senior brothers can recommend it to me?"
"Brother, don't worry!"
"As long as the skills are in place, no matter what the conditions are, I can agree."
