The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s - Chapter 84

[Chapter 83]

Tong Jiaming had chickenpox all over his face, but fortunately, he had strong willpower, and he couldn’t resist scratching no matter how itchy it was.

It takes about two weeks for chickenpox to heal completely, and he has been on leave at home during this time.

Tong Jiaxin did not get sick after staying at home for a few days, and soon went back to school to go to class.

Before Tong Jiaming’s chickenpox got better, the cooking competition was suddenly advanced.

I heard that there is a Chinese of rice nationality who will return to China to visit relatives in two months. The identity of this Chinese of rice nationality is very unusual.

When Hua returned to the United Nations in 1971, all Chinese documents formed by the United Nations had to be reviewed by this translator. In other words, his status was very special and high-level.

The higher-level department has issued an order, and the reception must be done well.

Because of the urgency of time, the cooking competition was brought forward.

Tong Xuelv was also taken aback when she received the notice, but fortunately, she has been preparing for this period of time, and it is not a battle of unpreparedness.

On the day of the competition, Tong Xuelv took Guo Weiping to the Red Star Hotel.

That’s right, the location of this competition is set at the Red Star Hotel.

Because the Red Star Hotel is high enough, and the occasion is big enough, it can accommodate a lot of people.

This is another advantage for the Red Star Hotel. Competing in a familiar environment, there is a natural sense of superiority in my heart.

For Tong Xuelu, the Red Star Hotel is the biggest opponent in today’s game.

When I came to the Red Star Hotel, some participating hotels had already come over, and Tong Xuelv was neither too early nor too late.

However, her arrival still attracted everyone’s attention. First of all, she was the only second-tier restaurant to participate in the competition, and secondly, she was the only female chef and manager.

In addition, she is so young and beautiful, it is impossible not to attract everyone’s attention.

“Manager Tong, you’re here, everyone was talking about you just now!”

Tong Xue pursed her lips and smiled politely: “Really? I don’t know what everyone said about me?”

A man said: “Everyone is guessing. What kind of dishes will Manager Tong come up with this time? Shouldn’t we just use Mala Tang and beef balls? Hahaha…”

As soon as these words came out, some people around laughed along.

Tong Xuelu’s expression was light when she heard the words.

This is to use mental tactics to make her angry and break her down, so that she can’t stabilize her mood during the game.

It’s a pity that she is young, but her mentality is more stable than many people present.

When the man spoke, seeing that she was neither blushing nor angry, he couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

There were also people who saw her so calm, and couldn’t help but admire her for a while. No wonder she was able to be the manager of a hotel at a young age.

As time went by little by little, the leaders who were judges today all came.

There are three judges in the Ministry of Commerce, and one of them is Minister Lin.

There are also three judges in the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, in addition to an old gentleman.

The old gentleman looked seventy or eighty years old, with a white face and no beard, his hair and eyebrows were white, but his face looked very good. He sat there smiling, and looked very kind.

During the introduction, he was only introduced as Mr. Gao Lao. The specific identity and origin were not mentioned by the introducer.

Everyone’s eyes fell on this old Mr. Gao, and they all speculated about his origin.

Everyone present didn’t know, let alone Tong Xuelu, she just glanced at it and put her mind on the game.

The game is divided into three groups to be played at the same time, and the order of the game is determined by drawing lots.

Tong Xuelu drew No. 10 and was placed in the third group, which was the last group to participate in the competition.

The gong was struck to announce the start of the game.

The first group of four restaurants began to enter a tense game.

Tong Xuelu watched the others play easily.

Among the masters of the competition, some are nervous and chaotic, making mistakes from time to time, and some have good psychological qualities and perform very calmly.

Tong Xuelu watched with relish, but Guo Weiping on the side was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

“Manager Tong, I’m afraid.”

Tong Xuelu turned his head and saw that Guo Weiping’s face was pale: “Why are you afraid?”

Guo Weiping was so nervous that his teeth were chattering: “When I think I’ll go up later, so many people’s eyes All staring at me, I feel very nervous.”

Tong Xuelu: “Comrade Guo Weiping, you think too much, you are just a helper, they don’t want to look at you, they want to look at me.”

Guo Weiping: “…”

Tong Xuelu: “Is it better now? Are you still nervous?”

Guo Weiping nodded: “It’s better, but still nervous.”

Tong Xuelu: “Come, take a deep breath with me, inhale…exhale…inhale , relax, inhale with your stomach, not your chest.”

Guo Weiping followed her to breathe, his stomach bulging and deflated.

? ? ?

The people around them noticed them, and they were all confused.

What is this doing?

People who don’t know think they’re having a baby.

After taking a few breaths, Guo Weiping relaxed a little, but he was not so nervous that his hands and feet trembled.

Tong Xuelu: “If you’re still nervous later, just stand aside and don’t move anything.”

It’s easy to make mistakes when he’s so nervous, and she’d rather spend more time on her own.

Guo Weiping looked apologetic: “I’m sorry Manager Tong, I’m really useless!”

Tong Xuelu: “It’s not too bad to know that you’re useless, so try to make yourself useful.”

Guo Weiping nodded his head like garlic.

The content of the competition is to make two dishes, meat dishes, vegetarian dishes or desserts, you can choose freely.

However, at this time, most people will choose to cook meat dishes. After all, vegetarian dishes have less room to play, and dim sum, as dessert after meals, is not valued in this era.

An hour and a half later, it was time for the first group to play.

All the master chefs stopped cooking, and one of them broke two dishes because of nervousness, and later made the wrong ingredients, resulting in the second dish not being done.

The master looked dejected, and knew in his heart that he was out of play.

Then the dishes of several master chefs were served one by one, and the seven judges began to taste them, and then scored.

Each judge has 10 points in their hands. In the end, the No. 3 master in the first group gets the highest score, with a total of 50 points.

When Master No. 3 came down, his face flushed with excitement.

Then came the second group, the master chef of the Red Star Hotel was in the second group.

Tong Xuelu’s attention immediately turned to the master of the Red Star Hotel.

As she had guessed, the chef of the Red Star Hotel competed this time with fried crab butter and fermented bean curd meat, the restaurant’s specialty.

The chef of the Red Star Hotel is worthy of being a descendant of the chef family.

On the contrary, it was the master’s helper who looked a little smug. The helper looked in his twenties, with delicate features, and was somewhat similar to the master. It might be the son or relatives of the master.

Watching the chef cook is a pleasure.

Tong Xuelv watched this scene with appreciation and learning.

After more than half an hour, the first dish of fermented bean curd meat was made.

Bean curd meat is a dish made of pork belly and fermented bean curd. It is not difficult to make, but it is not an easy task to make it full of color and flavor.

Pork belly and fermented bean curd can easily make the finished product look dirty and greasy if you don’t grasp it properly.

The finished fermented bean curd meat made by the master of the Red Star Hotel has a bright red color, as if it is plated with a layer of red light.

As soon as this dish is made, it is quickly served to taste.

After another half an hour, the second famous dish, Fried Crab Butter, was also ready.

The crab roe is fragrant and glutinous, and the color is bright. After the preparation is completed, a fascinating fragrance wafts into the nostrils, making the people present couldn’t help swallowing.

With such a strong opponent, the other contestants in the second group are under a lot of pressure.

Unsurprisingly, when the score came out, the Red Star Hotel got the highest score of 67 points.

The total score was 70 points, and the Red Star Hotel scored 67 points, and the people present couldn’t help but feel an uproar.

“There is no need to compare, the first place must be the Red Star Hotel!”

“I also think so, the Red Star Hotel deserves to be a time-honored brand. I heard that they were founded in the nineteenth year of Guangxu, and have a long history!”

“I also heard that they are in their hands. There are many more recipes, which are the hard work left by the ancestors of the Yang family.”

There were constantly touting voices in my ears, and people looked at her from time to time, obviously thinking that she could not win today.

Tong Xuelu didn’t seem to hear the sounds around her, and her face was still light.

Guo Weiping was so nervous that he almost fainted.

He looked up and saw Manager Tong’s calm look, as if he had been stuffed with a reassurance pill. He took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed himself down.

Soon it will be the third group’s turn.

Tong Xuelv brought Guo Weiping to his competition platform.

She first asked Guo Weiping and herself to check whether there were any problems with the materials, side dishes, spatula and other tools for the competition. If there were any problems, they should be raised now.

Otherwise, at the beginning of the game, it will affect your score.

Fortunately, no one dared to do anything on this occasion. After confirming that there was no problem, she started cooking.

The dishes she competed for today were Babao Glutinous Rice Duck and Steak.

Babao glutinous rice duck is to take care of the Chinese stomach of the judges present, and steak is to stand out.

This is the dish she decided on after thinking about it.

To entertain foreign guests, making steak is one of the must-have skills.

In later generations, many foreigners were attracted by Chinese cuisine, but in this day and age, the world still doesn’t know much about China, let alone Chinese cuisine.

When foreign guests come to Huaxia, they are not used to the food of Huaxia, and eventually they will choose the cuisine of their own country.

So whether the restaurant that serves foreign guests will cook steak is very important.

In fact, she used a clever method, but she is not tired of deceit, and she does not feel that she has done anything wrong.

Everyone can understand making Babao Glutinous Rice Duck, but when making steak, many people present looked at each other in dismay.

What is steak?

Beef? Is that edible?

Only Mr. Gao, who had been silent on the jury’s seat, blinked.

Tong Xuelu didn’t care about other people’s eyes and voices, and concentrated on the food.

The main ingredients of Babao Glutinous Rice Duck are duck, glutinous rice, lean meat, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and raw duck kidneys.

The duck is slaughtered in advance, and the glutinous rice is soaked in advance, so you can start working as soon as you arrive.

After an hour, a crispy Babao Glutinous Rice Duck is ready.

The Babao Glutinous Rice Duck has a crispy skin, and after the skin is broken, the rich oily juice bursts out from the inside, and the enticing fragrance spreads out quickly.

The Eight Treasures Duck with Glutinous Rice was carefully moved to the plate, and with a slight slide with a knife, the duck was cut open, and the ingredients inside were exposed, making it more fragrant.

The people present smelled the fragrance, swallowed subconsciously, and their stomachs seemed to growl.

“It’s really fragrant! The taste is no less than the fermented bean curd meat that the Red Star Hotel just made!”

“I think it is better than the fermented bean curd meat. After all, the fermented bean curd meat is too monotonous, only pork belly and fermented bean curd!”

“I think so too, you Look how good the roasted duck is, I really want to eat it!”

The master and apprentice of the Red Star Hotel suddenly sank when they heard everyone’s words.

Several judges took a piece of duck with chopsticks and put it in their mouths. The duck skin was crispy and the duck meat was tender. It was wrapped in glutinous rice and eaten with other ingredients, and the taste was richer.

Makes you want to eat again!

Then Tong Xuelu made a few more steaks, which were medium-rare steak, medium-rare steak and full-rare steak.

When the steak was made, the people present were in an uproar again.

“What is Manager Tong doing? Have you seen that beef still has blood on it, is it edible?”

“It’s too unconventional, it’s too eager.”

“That is to say, it seems that the old brand is more stable!”

Other judges looked at it. When it comes to bloodshot steaks, I don’t dare to start.

At this moment, Mr. Gao said, “How does Manager Tong know that this steak can still be made undercooked?”

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “I forgot which book I read, saying that foreigners drink blood. Mao, I think since they like half-cooked food, I’ll give it a try.”

In fact, this is completely nonsense, but she can’t explain why she knows how familiar she is if she doesn’t talk nonsense like this.

You must know that reading foreign books is not allowed in this era, so she can only talk nonsense.

Mr. Gao obviously did not believe her words.

However, some people knew that her target was a scientific researcher, and they guessed that she might have learned about it through the mouth of the expert who returned from the United States at the base.

It’s just because the other party’s identity is special, so he didn’t say it directly.

Mr. Gao explained to everyone: “I would study abroad when I was young, and I have eaten Western steaks. Their steaks taste like this. Manager Tong can cook such delicacies at a young age, which is really admirable! ”

When the other judges in the room heard this, they knew that they were sitting on the ground and watching the sky.

In order to show that they are not frogs in the well, they boldly tried steak, and followed Mr. Gao to give the highest score.

With a total score of 70, Tong Xuelv scored 68 points, one point more than the Red Star Hotel!

As soon as the results came out, everyone present was in an uproar, and the master of the Red Star Hotel was so angry that he threw his sleeves away.

“Congratulations to you, Manager Tong, Manager Tong is indeed a leader among young people!”

“Youth out of blue is better than blue, let’s not admit defeat!”

Tong Xuelu humbly expressed her gratitude to everyone, and her heart blossomed with joy.

To get the first place, it means that the salary can be upgraded, and the hotel can install a telephone.

that is really good!

**

The news that Tong Xuelu won the first place in the competition spread quickly.

The business of state-run hotels is even better, which can be described as hot.

When the brothers and sisters Sun Wuyang and Sun Manrou knew the news, their faces were as black as the bottom of the pot.

Sun Manrou: “Third brother, Comrade Tong is too good, I think I should quit.”

Sun Wuyang said: “Why do you always like to say such depressing words? You don’t have to worry, I have a solution.”

Sun Manrou’s eyes widened . Liang: “What’s the way?”

Sun Wuyang said: “The Red Star Hotel that we participated in this time should have won the first place, because Tong Xuelu won the first place by trickery, and the master of the Red Star Hotel was very unconvinced. ”

Master’s son Yang Guojie is my friend’s friend. I have asked my friend to tell him that he should pursue Tong Xuelu. If he can pursue Tong Xuelu, the recipe in Tong Xuelu’s hands will belong to them. The Yang family, no one will compete with them for the first place in the future.”

Sun Manrou raised her eyebrows: “Would the person surnamed Yang be willing to do this?”

Sun Wuyang smiled and said, “That’s for sure, he has been running every day these few days. Going to the restaurant, as long as they have contact, then we will say in front of the Wen family that she is feisty and has two boats, I don’t believe that she will not mind!”

Sun Manrou almost couldn’t help laughing: “It’s still three Brother, you have a solution.”

“That’s needless to say.”

Tong Xuelv noticed that the apprentice of the master of the Red Star Hotel went to the restaurant to eat every day after the competition.

She didn’t care at first, but he always talked to her sharply, and said he wanted to take her home.

Tong Xuelu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said directly to the Public Security Bureau to report it, and the other party restrained.

After Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin found out, the two brothers took the initiative to pick her up after get off work.

Wen Rugui finally asked for leave after a week after learning that she had won the first place.

The day he came back happened to be Uncle Zong’s birthday, so Tong Xuelu was going to go to Wen’s house to cook a table of food for Uncle Zong.

Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Yang Guojie and Sun Manrou as soon as she reached the gate of the military compound.

Sun Manrou looked upset: “Comrade Tong, how can you play with Comrade Yang’s feelings?”

Tong Xuelu raised her brows: “What fart are you doing? When did I play with his feelings?”

Sun Manrou: “Why not ? , Comrade Yang goes to your hotel every day, you are talking and laughing, and many people have seen it!”

Tong Xuelv: “Are you flooded or caught in the door? Remember to take medicine when you are sick, and you will talk nonsense again. Ba Dao, I’ll go to the Public Security Bureau to report the two of you!”

It was just after work time at noon, and many people gathered around after hearing the quarrel.

Sun Manrou was very proud when she saw everyone gathered around, and said with dignity on the surface: “Comrade Tong, don’t deny it any more. A slap won’t make a sound. If you didn’t agree, how could Comrade Yang come to your hotel every day?”

Tong The corner of Xue Lu’s mouth twitched, she walked in front of Sun Manrou, raised her hand and slapped her face heavily.

“Listen, does a slap make a sound?”

Sun Manrou was stunned by the fan.

The onlookers were also stunned, how do you say you beat someone?

Sun Manrou’s left cheek felt a burning pain: “Comrade Tong, you are too much, I…”

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a car stop at the entrance of the military compound.

The door was opened, and a man in military uniform stepped out.

Sun Manrou took a closer look, and burst into tears: “Grandpa, you have finally come to Beijing. I was bullied so badly…”

Grandpa?

Everyone was surprised again. Could this be Commander Xiao, the commander of the Army in the Northwest Region?

He should have come to support Sun Manrou, right?

Sun Manrou rushed towards Commander Xiao with pear blossoms and rain.

Unexpectedly, Commander Xiao stretched out his hand and pushed her when she was about to touch him.

Sun Manrou was pushed back two steps by him and almost fell to the ground.

Sun Manrou: ? ? ?
