I'm the Culinary God
Chapter 920 - 390: Turned Out to Be a Diehard Fan in Black Hater’s Clothing? Comrade Deep Sea, You’ve Worked Hard!
"This chicken liver is very tender, the Sichuan peppercorns were splashed with hot oil, so the pungency is gone, but the aroma is still rich, and the chili is fragrant without being too spicy, just right with the chicken liver..."
Originally wanted to find fault, but the dish was made impeccably, so he had to brace himself to evaluate it.
Gou Junguo really wanted to fish out a strand of hair from the plate or find signs of failure, but he stirred the dish in the plate to a mess and still couldn’t find any flaws.
The director on site sighed lightly beside him.
Claimed he came to cause trouble, and also wanted to use this to knock Lin Ji off the pedestal.
But after just two bites of the dish, he turned from a critic to a fan, this...
We wish to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty rebel?
Anyway, let’s shoot first, as long as the review is genuine and not lying, it’s fine.
The more real it is, the more it’ll attract fans.
After reviewing the dish, the photographer hurriedly put down the camera, picked up a piece of chicken liver with chopsticks to taste it:
"It’s really delicious, the chicken liver is slippery, indeed very tender. Manager Gou, how much would this dish cost in your Yanjing Hotel?"
"At least 288."
Gou Junguo no longer had the heart to emphasize the photographer’s stance.
Because his own stance was also wavering.
In the past, he always thought Yanjing Hotel was number one, even the food at the Fishing Platform wasn’t as good as Yanjing Hotel, but now it seems, he was too narrow-minded.
Chinese cuisine is vast and profound, although Yanjing Hotel can be considered in the top tier, it’s far from overlooking all competition.
Not to mention, just Lin Ji’s Food’s dishes here are not inferior to Yanjing Hotel.
And today, they specially ordered unpopular dishes.
If they ordered best-selling dishes, who knows how big the difference would be.
To be able to open such a restaurant, indeed they’re no ordinary people.
"Master Xie, how do you think this oil-soaked chicken liver turned out? Did it achieve the effect you wanted?"
"It’s alright, my junior’s normal standard, he might be busy today, if he focused on making this dish, the taste and texture would probably improve by a tiny bit."
Seeing people in the livestream defending Lin Xu, Xie Baomin said with a smile:
"When I say ’a tiny bit,’ I’m talking about a difference of 99% to 100%, but many chefs spend their whole lives unable to make dishes above 90%, in terms of talent, my junior is unmatched, perhaps only my master can overshadow my junior."
As he was speaking, he saw Dai Jianli sneakily bringing the photographer over:
"What’s up? Couldn’t shoot again?"
"Too many people, couldn’t get in line, truly didn’t expect Sichuan cuisine to be so popular in Beijing."
Dai Jianli walked over with a face of frustration and seeing Xie Baomin live streaming with Wu Kexin, greeted the camera:
"Hello, hello everyone, my name is Dai Jianli, I’m the executive head chef at Building 18, Fishing Platform, when you come to consume at Fishing Platform, don’t forget to find me, I have the most authentic Sichuan cuisine, both spicy and non-spicy."
Old Dai at Fishing Platform is like a social terror.
Now that he’s a host, he loves to socialize even more.
Not only does he interact with viewers in the livestream room, but he also proactively offered a benefit:
"For friends who consume at Building 18, just mention my name, you’ll get a 5% discount, if you think this discount is good, hit 1!"
The chat exploded instantly.
A 5% discount might not seem much, but no mention of limitations or time restrictions.
Just love these straightforward people.
Until enthusiastic fans checked the per capita consumption at Fishing Platform Building 18, their enthusiasm died down:
"Whoa, per person spends nearly two thousand at Building 18?"
"Forget 5% discount, even if it were a 41% discount, can’t afford it."
"No wonder he’s so generous."
"Fishing Platform isn’t someplace ordinary people can afford."
"Yanjing Hotel too, that’s why everyone was so angry after Chef Xie’s video, such high-end places making dishes more perfunctory than roadside stalls, truly infuriating."
"Relatively, Lin Ji is still good, with some effort one can achieve Lin Ji freedom."
"Ever since eating Lin Ji’s roast chicken, I’ve been hooked."
"..."
Since they’re here, might as well livestream together, they’re all from the same company anyway, no need to fuss too much.
Dai Jianli tasted the chicken liver and said:
"Feels just a tiny fraction worse than last time, seems Lin’s brother is busy in the kitchen today, didn’t make the dish perfectly."
Wu Kexin said with a smile:
"Here comes another super skilled chef."
Dai Jianli waved his hand:
"I’m not considered skilled, in Fishing Platform, Old Xie’s culinary skills are far ahead, followed by the head chefs of Building 10 and Building 6, if scored, they’re all masters above 95."
"What about you?"
"I’m at most 92, but I accept it, still better than some head chefs scoring below 90."
At Fishing Platform, He Baoqing who was watching the livestream together looked at Song Dahai:
"Old Song, is he talking about you?"
Song Dahai glared:
"That dog dares to talk about me, I’ll skin him when he’s back, my culinary skills aren’t that bad!"
He Baoqing curiously asked:
"Who was he talking about then?"
Song Dahai initially wanted to say Building 8’s executive head chef Yuan Debiao, but Old Yuan was sitting beside him cracking seeds, with a build like a giant, better not find trouble.
Came to his senses, he wisely said:
"I think it’s Old Fan from Building 11, what do you two think?"
"I think so too."
