Chapter 233 Food and Beverage
Yang Yuying chuckled: "My mother has a group of chefs in the restaurant. I have learned from Master Zhou You for a while. Prince Ping has already recommended people to the Queen Mother. He will be responsible for the food in my Yang Town."
Zhou Youdao looked disbelief: "Just him?"
He knew that man, who was named Liu, looked dull and stupid, and he couldn't eat the dish he cooked. He couldn't eat it for a long time, but he couldn't eat it. It seemed that any cook, no, any cook who could cook it would taste the same.
Zhou Youdao sneered: "The Empress Dowager is used to being generous and has become more and more picky in her taste. She can't even make me. He dares to imagine it by virtue of him? If he can really be the chef of the Empress, I will immediately chop off my fingers and never touch the stove again."
Yang Yuying raised her eyebrows: "I can't care what you want."
Zhou Youdao sneered three times, turned around and left.
The fact that he failed to stay with the Queen Mother was spread throughout Yang Town, but because his skills were indeed good, the Queen Mother did not say he didn't like it. Although things were a bit unsatisfactory, the wealthy and wealthy Yang Town who had invested in Zhou Youdao were not disappointed to the end.
Although Zhou Youdao is proud, it is very different from the current business atmosphere of being kind to others, but he is actually very good at doing business.
He is born with a long and narrow mind, and is accustomed to being high and down, and knows how to use people. In the eyes of businessmen, his shortcomings can be tolerated and his advantages are absolutely outstanding. If you do business with him, only talk about interests and not feelings, that is a first-class good partner.
After leaving the royal palace, Zhou Youdao still made up his mind to take good care of his Zhou family's private food sign.
Anyway, the Empress Dowager was unlikely to come to ruin the situation for him. He had already decided to flatter the Empress Dowager and please the nobles from the capital.
Whenever someone goes to his restaurant to eat and drink, he will definitely return home satisfactorily and leave some magic treasures.
Just the inscriptions written on the wall, Zhou Youdao felt that his restaurant could come like a guesthouse.
Zhou's private dishes can definitely turn into hens that lay golden eggs.
However, Zhou Youdao was still unwilling to give up!
He thought that his cooking skills were much better than his master, but the Queen Mother thought that he was not doing well and what was he not careful enough to serve him?
For this opportunity, he almost used all his skills, and carefully selected the ingredients, and absolutely no mistakes were made.
He went to find Jiang Changshi again. Jiang Changshi was also very annoyed at this time. He didn't get along well with the Queen Mother's flattery, and he hated Zhou Youdao in his heart. He was busy exploring his uselessness in the past few days. During this southern tour, several of his classmates were busy contacting classmates every day and asking about the situation in the capital. How could he have time to deal with him?
Only Zhou Youdao's cooking skills are not bad, Jiang Changshi was quite proud of his visit to his private restaurant to entertain guests.
It is inevitable that he will find an opportunity to come and talk to him.
He just wanted to ask the Queen Mother if he could give him another chance, and he would definitely make dishes that satisfy the Queen Mother.
When Jiang Changshi heard this, he was stunned and was incredible.
He didn't know before that Zhou Youdao was so arrogant!
"Who do you think you are? Where is the place where you are the palace? Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are rich all over the world. They have never enjoyed any delicacies. No matter how good the chef is, it is not worth remembering the name of the Queen Mother. Then in front of the nobles, it is an object that can be used. If you lose your chance, you want to catch it again, what daydreams do you want to do?"
After a few words, Zhou Youdao was pushed back.
The two were arguing, and Zhou Youdao looked up and was stunned. Liu Chong lowered his head from the corner gate of the royal palace in a low-key manner.
The two sides happened to meet.
Zhou Youdao's face instantly turned iron gray, ugly and tight.
This guy really dares to come?
Liu Chong didn't see him, so he lowered his eyebrows and went into the kitchen with his eyes.
When he came, he had no such grand show as Zhou Youdao at the time. He had neither picked the best materials everywhere, but only asked for the most basic freshness, nor asked for any rare treasures. As long as the most common and common ones were made.
This child has a somewhat immature face, and he is even more respectful to the chefs of the royal palace.
Liu Chong remembered firmly that when he was training with Miss Liu, every word that Miss Liu said.
He was so nervous that he accidentally saw Zhou Youdao's high-minded vision, which was automatically blocked.
“Be myself, be myself.”
Liu Chong muttered a few words silently, and at the beginning, he followed Mrs. Liu's instructions and carefully observed the Queen Mother's performance after the meal. Whether the taste was salty or light, whether she wanted to eat meat or vegetarian food, she used more or less.
On the first day, the Empress Dowager naturally ate the meal made by Liu Chong, and did not give any rewards or sent anyone away.
Day 2, Day 3, Day 4...
Zhou Youdao stared at the royal palace every day, always guessing when Liu Chong was kicked out of the door. As a result, on the fifth day of the Holy Divine Residence, Liu Chong stayed for five days and asked him to organize a banquet for Thousand Old Ones.
His Majesty also promised Liu Chong the official position, preparing to take him back to Beijing and go to the imperial kitchen to be responsible for the Queen Mother's stove.
The news did not spread so much. There were not many people thinking about eating and drinking, but the famous chefs in Yang Town could not not pay attention to it.
Zhou Youdao felt like he was hit by a bolt from the blue for a moment, and he was completely incomprehensible.
The rich merchants also left clean immediately, and the promised money would not be given even half a piece of money.
Zhou Youdao was so sorry that he couldn't even keep a good dress, so he had to leave Yangzhen in shame. Before leaving, he went to ask for Yang Yuying again.
Yang Yuying smiled softly and naturally wanted to see this person. This person was still a small prop of some importance, so it was useless.
"Why?" Zhou Youdao's expression was dim, "Did the master give him a unique skill?"
Yang Yuying took a sip of tea, ate the green bean cake of Qingliangju, looked up at his face, and immediately the desire to explain everything disappeared, and she said, "Whatever you think."
Zhou Youdao left Yangzhen with a lot of resentment.
Wang Jinhua couldn't believe it. Looking at her daughter's eyes, it was almost the same as looking at a god?
"Is it because I have no idea about gold and jade?
Wang Jinhua thought, has Xiao Liu been under her for five or six years? She has never let Xiao Liu be the chef!
"That's a chef who can serve the Queen Mother's appetite."
Yang Yuying smiled so hard: "How many major things are the empress dowager busy all day long? How can she bother eating in one bite? When Zhou You cooked for the empress dowager, she was still young and her skills were not top-notch, but she was just careful."
She paused, deliberately showing a little nostalgia on her face, "In fact, it is far from as complicated as everyone thinks."
The people who have been circulating in Manyang Town these days, in fact, the one who has received the true teachings of Zhou You was Liu Chong, a chef at Baijia Restaurant, not Zhou Youdao. It’s just that Liu Chong is low-key and unknown to the world.
There are many rumors that Zhou Youyou is wise and has a sharp eye. He can see that Zhou Youdao is not good at morality, so he left the real Zhou family recipe to his younger disciples who were accepted in his later years.
