After meeting an old classmate from the past, Liu Huaxing always felt a sense of peace of mind. Although he never thought that he would become someone else's youth, he reckoned that this would be the youth of a generation like Slam Dunk. There is a reason. Not long after that, they officially started school and entered the junior year.

In fact, in college, there are not many compulsory courses in the junior year. There are only one class three days a week, two classes a day, and no class one day. And Liu Huaxing, a freshman and sophomore, has already obtained enough credits, and now he doesn't need to take elective courses anymore, so he can concentrate on developing his career.

But having said that, there was nothing left for him to do now. The script has already been written, the film is preparing funds, and the actors have been confirmed, and the filming can officially start after the TV series is finished. So Liu Huaxing is free now instead, he only needs to sit in the studio for a while every day, and has nothing to do at other times.

Therefore, Liu Huaxing simply came to the restaurant to help his future father-in-law.

The restaurant has now been renovated, so in terms of scale it is twice as big as before, which is also the reason for recruiting new employees. But now with this scale, when dealing with the current passenger flow, the situation is much better. Although there will still be queues of customers outside, at least they will not be queued to hundreds of people, blocking the door of the next door store. up.

It's been a while since Liu Huaxing has come to help out at the restaurant. Taking advantage of his free time at work, he plans to help his father-in-law more during this time, and develop some new recipes along the way.

Every day is spent in the alternation of going to and from school, and going to and from get off work. In life, he and Yang Xiaoxiao have lived together for more than a year, and they have completely adapted to the current rhythm. In fact, the life is not too busy, it is flat but very fulfilling.

However, soon Yang Chengzhi gave Liu Huaxing a new problem.

"11 is coming soon, and this year's 11 long holiday will be a new challenge." Yang Chengzhi said seriously, "The restaurant's reputation is stronger than last year, but the pressure is also greater. Last year we wanted to make a name for ourselves. And this year we want to maintain our reputation. So, this year's November holiday, I hope you can help the restaurant come up with a new set menu."

"No problem." Liu Huaxing readily agreed, and his father-in-law had watched him grow up, and knew that he must have a bottom line, so he squinted at him and asked, "You kid, do you already have an idea?" gone?"

"Yes." Liu Huaxing nodded: "In fact, I had an idea a long time ago. The current set menus of our restaurant are basically complete. There are sets suitable for children, the elderly, and young people. one."

At present, "Late Rice" is still aimed at middle-class consumers, with per capita consumption of about 100 yuan. The prices of the dishes are relatively affordable, and the quality of the dishes is also good. Although it is not Michelin's exquisite style of cuisine, compared to this price, the experience of cuisine is definitely worth the money. Prior to this, Liu Huaxing opened up the market again, adding children's packages and health packages.

Therefore, the only consumers that Late Rice can target now are the last category, which is the "high consumer group".

In other words, what is lacking in restaurants is "luxury cuisine". The domestic luxury cuisine is actually very simple. The most typical representative is the "Man-Han Banquet". Liu Huaxing also intends to reproduce the Man-Han Banquet in Wandao's menu.

Of course, the "New Man-Han Banquet" with his own style was developed based on the elements of the traditional Man-Han Banquet. The Man-Han Banquet is a court banquet cuisine in the Qing Dynasty. There are many rules, including roasting, roasting, steaming, boiling, rinsing, deep-frying, and frying.

Now I want to take it out and reproduce it in "Late Rice". Of course, it is impossible to prepare hundreds of dishes like the Man-Han Banquet, and it is impossible to finish them all. Therefore, Liu Huaxing has to set several levels of "Mini Man-Han Banquet" according to the number of people. .

The rule of Man-Han Banquet is to serve fresh fruit, dried fruit and candied fruit first, then cold dishes, followed by simple stir-fried vegetables, followed by rich and complex dishes, and finally desserts. It's just that there are more than 300 dishes in the regular Manchu banquet, from hot dishes and cold dishes to snacks and teas. In this kind of restaurant, it should be reduced appropriately.

However, it is the portions, not the dishes, that have been reduced. Since the decision is aimed at high-consumption groups, it is natural not to consider the cost and complexity, the key is the dining experience. Similarly, Liu Huaxing will also add the overall concept of French cuisine to these Manchu banquets. There are enough people in the kitchen now, and a restaurant of this level can afford it.

It took Liu Huaxing a lot of effort to set up such a set of Manchu Banquet, but it was finally done before the National Day.

First, make dried fruit, candied fruit, and fruit into dishes in the form of aperitifs. For example, he cuts a green apple with the skin in half, then pulls out the inner core of the apple to make an apple bowl, and adds candied fruit, An aperitif made with rice wine and chopped nuts. In this way, it is just enough to meet the first process of the Manchu Banquet: fresh fruit, dried fruit and candied fruit, and at the same time these three elements are combined in one dish, so that this dish is suitable for a single or double set meal.

Then the following cold dishes are made into appetizers. This process is very simple. After all, most of the stewed dishes and cold dishes in Chinese cuisine are suitable for transformation into appetizers, as long as the style of seasoning is adjusted appropriately.

Afterwards, there is a full set of cooking, grilling, steaming, boiling, rinsing, frying, and frying. Each dish has one dish. Liu Huaxing divides it into two parts and puts them on two mini rotating tables. Place four to five dishes on the table.

Each of these dishes corresponds to a cooking method. There are a total of fifteen dishes in the "Man-Han Banquet", but each dish uses a particularly complicated cooking process and a variety of expensive materials. It’s just that the Man-Han Banquet for two people will be served in small plates, and each dish will only have one or two bites to ensure that the guests can eat it, while the Man-Han Banquet for multiple people will be served on a plate.

Although it looks complicated, it's actually okay. It's equivalent to each chef making one or two dishes, and then serving them separately on two plates. Because some dishes such as Buddha jumping over the wall and boiled cabbage take a long time to prepare the soup, it is necessary to separate several people to prepare the soup for these dishes.

Then there is the issue of price, because a lot of expensive materials such as matsutake, abalone, bird's nest and ginseng are used, so the price of this set meal is naturally high, and the price per person is more than 600.

In fact, this per capita consumption is relatively common in Michelin restaurants, and it cannot be said to be a luxury cuisine. After all, many expensive ingredients such as saffron and truffles are not used by Liu Huaxing. On the one hand, it’s unnecessary. What he pursues is the dining experience rather than the price of the set meal. Simply mixing the most expensive ingredients in the world will taste worse than shit.

Properly expensive, appropriate ingredients, delicious flavors that echo each other, and the satisfaction of being able to eat just enough, this is what Liu Huaxing pursues. Such a table of dishes, counting the ingredients in the soup, probably uses more than 100 kinds of ingredients, and each dish has one or two mouthfuls. The combination of meat and vegetables is appropriate, and each cooking method is roasted, roasted, steamed, boiled, rinsed, fried, and fried. Both.

The price of 600 per person is indeed a bit expensive, but it is acceptable to many guests from other places, especially those from first-tier cities or developed countries. It is very cost-effective to spend more than 600 to taste such a set meal.

"Well, not bad." Yang Chengzhi looked at Liu Huaxing's set menu and nodded with satisfaction: "These dishes are what the veteran chefs in our restaurant are good at. If we make proper adjustments at that time, they should be able to do well."

With that said, Yang Chengzhi handed the recipe to the old chef beside him, and said in detail: "Old Chen, take it down and show it to the chefs, let them taste the sample and remember the seasoning, let's try it on National Day If this package sells well and the response is good, then make this package a permanent package, and if the reviews are mediocre, forget it..."

"You won't be the successor in the future, why do you do your best?" At this moment, Yang Xiaoxiao put her arms around his waist from behind, tilted her head and stared at him with her beautiful eyes.

"That's my future father-in-law. If I don't please him, can he hand you over to me?" Liu Huaxing scratched her little nose.

"Sycophant..." Yang Xiaoxiao pinched his waist with a smile, "Why are you flattering him? The decision is in my hands."

"When I win over everyone around you, you won't be able to run away even if you want to." Liu Huaxing smiled, and put his mouth on her forehead, feeling the soft roots of her hair, "Do you want to learn a few new tricks?" Chinese desserts? I need your help during the National Day."

"Why? I dragged me into the water by working overtime on National Day." Yang Xiaoxiao said coquettishly, "I still want to rest at home."

"Oh, come and stay with me." Liu Huaxing hugged her and smiled, "How lonely you are at home alone in an empty room."

"I'm not lonely, I have oranges to accompany me." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled coquettishly, tilting her head as if she wanted him to kiss her.

Naturally, Liu Huaxing kissed her fair and tender cheek unceremoniously, and replied, "Come on, your dessert is also very important in this Manchu Banquet. It's different from before, and it's also the protagonist."

"Oh, you really..." Yang Xiaoxiao glared at him, "Okay, okay, I got it."

At this time, Yang Chengzhi also came back after explaining, frowning and reprimanding: "The two of you should pay attention to the influence. During working hours, they are cuddling and hugging. What do other chefs think when they see this? What if they think you are relying on my daughter to get the job?" ?”

"Pfft..." Liu Huaxing held back a laugh and didn't dare to make a sound. He responded with his mouth, but he was muttering in his heart.

First of all, all the new employees who came to the store had watched Liu Huaxing's previous duel with Gu Jingzhou, and these employees knew his level. Even if they didn't know, Liu Huaxing spent most of his time helping out in restaurants in September, and they knew his level.

Secondly, for a pretty girl like Yang Xiaoxiao, the possibility of "chasing the supervisor's daughter to get a position in a restaurant" is not as high as "chasing the supervisor's daughter by relying on a position in a restaurant". How can there be a beautiful woman in a job position?

Besides, he just came to the restaurant to help, and he doesn't intend to be a successor, nor will he work here for a long time...

Of course, he didn't dare to insult his father-in-law so directly, after all, it was indeed him and Yang Xiaoxiao who were too high-profile. But they have always been like this, they are so close everywhere, subconsciously, they never thought of paying attention.

But Yang Xiaoxiao didn't want to lose face, and said angrily: "We are here to help, and it's not official..."

"Little Strawberry, you have cream on your mouth." Liu Huaxing interrupted Yang Xiaoxiao with a smile, and lightly tapped her small mouth, "Come on, let me wipe it off for you."

Yang Xiaoxiao has always been soft and not hard, once Liu Huaxing used soft knives, she couldn't do anything, so she obediently followed him to the side.

"I knew I was protecting your father-in-law..." Yang Xiaoxiao gave him a blank look and said.

"Okay, it's almost three o'clock. We're on the day shift today, and the working hours are about the same." Liu Huaxing touched her little head and smiled, "Change your clothes and prepare to go back? Do you want to go out for a stroll in the afternoon?"

"Well... I want to take a bath for Cheng Zi in the afternoon." Yang Xiaoxiao looked at him and said seriously, looking at it from this angle, Yang Xiaoxiao's eyes are really big, Liu Huaxing especially likes the little girl looking at him, making him think Kiss her pretty eyes.

"Wash." Liu Huaxing stroked her cheek and smiled, "I'll wash and you blow."

The recipe has been finalized, and the National Day "Man-Han Banquet" set menu is officially launched. For many other things, Liu Huaxing often relies on file reading to make up for it, but he has a solid strength in cooking. After all, practice makes perfect. He has cooked for Yang Xiaoxiao for five or six years, plus the learning experience before returning from file reading. This level of proficiency is no worse than those teachers and parents who have been around for more than ten years.

After the package was launched, it is natural that there are two sides to the evaluation. Some people can’t help ridiculing: "How dare you say that this level of cuisine is a Man-Han banquet? A regular Man-Han banquet is XXX dishes and XXX materials!".

However, those who make such comments are "cloud guests" who have never eaten. They only made their own comments after looking at the pictures of the dishes and the comments of other people on the Internet. The guests who have actually eaten it are unanimously praised.

As Liu Huaxing speculated before, although the price of more than 600 per person is indeed a bit high, it is not a price that most families can eat often, but this set meal is very soulful.

For example, if two people come to eat, you can order a Man-Han Banquet, and each of the two people can eat a little to taste something new, and then pair it with an ordinary set meal, you can eat satisfactorily and taste the dishes of the Man-Han Banquet. Just over 400 people per person, this price is acceptable to most families.

As for those guests who come from far away or abroad, the price of more than 600 per person is not worth mentioning. After all, there are many rich people in China, and 600 per person is just a small case. Therefore, this set meal was also very popular during the National Day, which raised the reputation of Wandao to a new height, and even the TV station came to do an interview.

Since then, Wandao is not just a restaurant, but also one of the characteristics of Beichang City. When people talk about Beichang City, everyone will say "must go to Wandao to eat once".
