At the Beijing Airport, Su Ruotong and Tao Xian were sitting in the car, waiting to pick someone up.
Su's Restaurant sent Bao Ruwen's eldest apprentice to be the chef, and asked Li Hongxing to bring a young apprentice who had only been there for four or five years to come as the second chef.
If Su Ruotong hadn't stopped him, even the waiters would have been appointed from there.
You don't need to ask Su Ruotong to know that when the kitchen heard about this, there would definitely be a fight.
In the end, Bao Ruwen, an old fritter, won.
Bao Ruwen's eldest apprentice is called Zhao Fakai.
He is forty-four this year and has been a cook for 20 years.
Not only is he Bao Ruwen's eldest apprentice, he also recognized Bao Ruwen as his godfather a few years ago and learned from Bao Ruwen Jiu.
Su Ruotong is quite relieved to have him here to control the situation.
As for the second chef assigned, his name is Jiang Mingming.
He is a very smart young man.
He is 27 or 28 years old.
He first worked as a waiter in Su's Restaurant.
Later, he applied for a job as a chef.
He started with small tasks such as sweeping the floor and washing dishes in the kitchen.
Now I can fry two decent side dishes.
After picking up Zhao Fakai and Jiang Mingming, Su Ruotong looked at her watch: "Let's go back.
It will open in less than two hours in the evening.
I have prepared all the ingredients for the dinner.
In the next twenty days, you all will Cook with me, our diners have very good taste, I hope you can set your standards a little higher.”
Zhao Fakai nodded hard: "Miss Su, don't worry.
My master gave me many instructions before I left.
I will obey your orders in everything."
Arriving at the back kitchen, Su Ruotong began to supervise Zhao Fakai in preparing the evening meal.
For each table of four people, she prepared five dishes, one soup, one rice, and a dessert.
The most outstanding dish was a multi-flavored colorful grilled mushroom dish.
While Su Ruotong asked Jiang Mingming to cut porcini mushrooms, he said: "Tonight's dinner is all about mushrooms.
There is a big market behind the street, but if you want to buy better mushrooms or other unorthodox ingredients, , you must make a reservation with the boss in advance.
For example, the mushrooms we used for grilled mushrooms today are reserved in advance.”
Zhao Fakai looked at the mushrooms arranged by Su Ruotong on the cooking table and couldn't get enough of them.
He has been a chef for so many years and has access to ingredients from all over the world.
However, some of the mushrooms in front of him are completely unknown to him and have never been heard of.
Su Ruotong's plain hands pointed at the mushrooms one by one and introduced to him: "These are Dictyophora longiflorum, black saddle fungus, Armillaria fungus, Pleurotus goldenrod, pink-purple shiitake mushroom, blood-red rivet mushroom, yellow-spotted russula, and green mushroom. , brown branch fungus, orange leather, flame ear, golden ear" Zhao Fakai swallowed his saliva.
If he hadn't believed in Su Ruotong very much.
If Su Ruotong said it wasn't poisonous, it wouldn't be poisonous.
If it were him, just looking at the color of these mushrooms, he would definitely throw them out, because some mushrooms have It's so gorgeous.
According to the public's thinking on identifying mushrooms, they will definitely think that they will die if eaten.
"There are many recipes for grilled mushrooms.
What we want to pursue is not only the taste, but also the beauty.
So today's grilled mushrooms require multi-flavored butter.
Can you make multi-flavored butter?"
"This" Zhao Fakai hesitated, but decided to tell the truth: "I heard Chef Charlie tell me how to make it, and I still remember it, but I haven't done it.
He has a Western food department over there, and the chef and I mainly cook Chinese food, so it shouldn't be difficult. " "It's not difficult.
Today we use special multi-flavored butter.
Because the mushrooms are very fresh, the multi-flavored butter we make can have more flavor.

In addition to the basic ingredients, we also add condensed milk.
You can make it."
Su Ruotong nodded to Zhao Fakai and waited for Zhao Fakai to take action.
Making multi-flavored butter is very simple.
After a quarter of an hour, Zhao Fakai finished making it.
The finished product was put into a mold and placed in a freezer to freeze.
Su Ruotong was satisfied.
This Zhao Fakai cooked in an orderly manner.
According to his level, ordinary diners would not have any objections because of the change of chef.
"Next when we deal with the mushrooms, what we want to pursue is that the upper layer of the mushrooms has a crispy texture and aroma, while the lower layer is juicy and beautifully presented."
While Su Ruotong was instructing Zhao Fakai, Tao Xian poked his head in and said, "Tongtong, come here."
Su Ruotong raised her eyebrows and looked at him, then walked out of the kitchen.
Tao Xian held the phone and said, "One of my elders has made a reservation for the night after tomorrow.
I heard that we are serving dishes per person, so I will bring my grandfather and another elder to join us at the table."
Come and eat.”
As he spoke, he looked at Su Ruotong with complicated emotions, waiting for her response.
But Su Ruotong didn't show any extra expression and said: "Oh, I understand."
Tao Xian was stunned.
In his imagination, Su Ruotong should have said to him: "Isn't it too soon to meet the parents so early?"
Or, in a rare shy moment: "Then I won't come the night after tomorrow.
You can entertain grandpa here." ."
Even a bit of a man: "I will treat grandpa well, your grandpa is my grandpa."
What the hell is this "Oh, I know" thing.
Tao Xian looked at Su Ruotong's black grape-like eyes: "Tongtong, I want to know if you mind about this.
If you mind, I will tell grandpa and ask him not to come.
And he is old.
I rarely go out, and I'm worried about him bumping into me when he comes out."
The more he went on, the more panicked Tao Xian felt, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
He was in a mess.
He didn't know whether to blame Su Ruotong or himself.
He even felt guilty.
Basically, he had never told Su Ruotong about his family members, and he only mentioned them in a hurry when he mentioned them.
However, he felt it was unfair because he had been to Su's house so many times and knew Su Ruotong's father and even his mother who had run away from home for many years, but Su Ruotong had never expressed to him that she wanted to know his family.
He doesn't want to talk about his family, and Su Ruotong doesn't want to know about them at all.
Those are two completely different concepts, okay?
Now when his grandpa, whom he has the closest relationship with at home, comes to have dinner, Su Ruotong still reacts like this.
Tao Tao feels aggrieved.
Su Ruotong turned around and looked at Zhao Fakai, who was looking at various mushrooms with a difficult expression on his face: "It really doesn't matter.
Although there are few tables in the store, it's not very crowded.
Didn't we hire a waiter last night?
That little girl is very attentive. , I will definitely take care of grandpa’s meals.”
Seeing that Su Ruotong still treated the guests with the same attitude, and even rushed back to the kitchen, Tao Xian clenched his fists tightly, but did not say a word.
Although it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his heart, Tao Xian still forced a smile: "Well, you are very thoughtful."
Su Ruotong faintly felt that Tao Xian's mood suddenly dropped, and she was no longer in a hurry to go back to the kitchen and asked him: "Tao Xian, are you unhappy?"
"No way, I'm fine."

"When you said it's okay, there is probably something wrong.
Why are you unhappy?
If you ask, we will reject the reservations for the night after tomorrow and only accept your grandpa, okay?"
Su Ruotong felt keenly that Tao Xian was unhappy, so he It has something to do with his grandpa coming to eat.
"There's no need to delay the store's business for grandpa.
He can't eat much by himself."
Tao Xian said.
"Your grandpa is an elder, you can ask him to bring more guests over for dinner, it won't matter."
Tao Xian glanced at Su Ruotong strangely and said, "You know who my grandfather is, right?
His friends are all famous cooking masters in the capital."
"I know, Tao Yide, Master Tao, you helped my family renovate the restaurant at that time.
It was your grandfather's wish.
The last time my father came here, he wanted to visit Grandpa Tao in person at your home, but he was afraid of being too offensive and making your family think that I’m currying favor with you” "What's wrong with fawning?
If my grandpa comes for dinner in a few days, you will think he is fawning over my family."
Tao Xian's face darkened obviously.
Other women wanted to see his family, but he refused to let her see them.
Now his grandfather rushed to his door to meet Su Ruotong.
Su Ruotong didn't even set off firecrackers to celebrate, but said all these nonsense to him.
He doesn't listen, doesn't listen, doesn't listen "You think about it yourself.
If you don't want to see my grandpa, just tell him."
Tao Xian finished his words, obviously annoyed.
Zhao Fakai had been listening to Su Ruotong and Tao Xian talking at the food delivery window.
When he heard Tao Yide's name, his ears twitched and an excited expression appeared on his face.
Oh my god, Master Tao, it’s actually Master Tao Although Master Tao was so angry that he had not cooked for a long time because his two apprentices fought a lawsuit more than ten years ago to fight for the inheritance and registration of Tao's personal copyright, he still has a great reputation and is simply a star in the culinary world. national treasure.
This little Mr.
Tao is actually Tao Yide's grandson, and in a few days, Tao Yide will eat the food he cooked.
Zhao Fakai's hands began to shake with excitement.
This time, he came to the capital correctly.
Zhao Fakai stared at Su Ruotong's back and silently urged in his heart: "Quickly advise Mr.
Xiaotao, Miss Su."
Su Ruotong didn't understand why Tao Xian lost her temper again for no apparent reason.
She had clearly said that she could recommend other guests specifically for Tao Yide, so why was Tao Xian still so angry?
However, Su Ruotong had spent time with him, and she knew Tao Xian better.
She knew that he usually looked decent, but in fact he had a lot of tempers, so he said gently: "I am very willing to receive Mr.
Tao, but I don't know how to receive him."
You understand this, and I want you to tell me what to do.”
Tao Xian's expression softened a little and he said: "It doesn't need to be so grand to meet my family for the first time.
You dress up better the day after tomorrow.
It's best to cook in person.
When the food is ready, sit with my grandpa for a while and say Talk and I will remind you."
Su Ruotong was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong.
After Tao Xian finished speaking, she asked him: "Do you want to receive other guests the day after tomorrow?"
Tao Xian struggled and waved his hand: "I will call the other guests and tell them not to come."
"Oh," Su Ruotong said, "If that's okay, I'll go back first, and I'll continue to tell Zhao Fakai about cooking."
Tao Xian felt satisfied, a little uneasy, and very looking forward to it.

He nodded happily and immediately went to contact the person who had made the reservation.
Su Ruotong looked at his appearance, which was sunny and rainy now, and shook his head.
Seeing that Su Ruotong had taken care of Tao Xian, Zhao Fakai was extremely excited.
As soon as Su Ruotong entered the kitchen, he said: "Miss Su, let's tell Mr.
Su about this.
Mr.
Su must be very happy when he knows about it.
He has been here for the past few days."
My hair is turning gray from worry, it’s time to be happy with some good news.”
Su Ruotong turned around and stared at Zhao Fakai closely: "What's wrong?
Why is my father so worried that his hair is turning white?"
Zhao Fakai was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, he wished he could slap himself in the face, he said something nonsense, but he still answered hesitantly: "Miss Su, don't you know?"
