"You must choose a female duck for this dish of Lotus Flower Duck. Your choice of the ingredients is wrong." Furthermore, the duck meat was too old and too much. After being fried, it was so greasy that it was thin and firewood. There was no longer any freshness to it. Also, the temperature of the explosion should not be too high, if the skin is golden instead of brown. Use a slow fry fire. " Su Xinyu tasted the cooking techniques of the two newly-hired chefs in their Su Family private restaurant 'Royal Kitchen'. Although they did not look too bad on the outside, it was far from enough for her. Their Su Family restaurant would definitely not allow any substandard dishes to appear on the table, as that would disgrace the prestige of their Su Family's famous chef.
Su Xinyu's ancestors had been palace chefs since the time of Qian Long in the Qing Dynasty. After that, although their Su Family had gradually declined with the demise of the imperial government, their craftsmanship had not been lost in the slightest. Until today, even if the Su Family was passed down from generation to generation, in her current generation, she was the only girl, and her cooking skills had been learned by her.
Since the age of five, Su Xinyu had an extremely strong interest in cooking. When she saw her grandfather and father cooking in the kitchen, she insisted on going up to take a look. Perhaps it was because of her family, but she had always been picky about food since she was young, and her tongue had a keen sense of taste. She would remember every taste she had.
The "Royal Kitchen" of Su Family excelled in the entire Han Dynasty. Furthermore, because the ancestor of Su Family had once participated in the first time the entire Manhan Cuisine was created, and because the Su Family had always been used as a imperial chef in the Qing Palace, their entire Manhan Cuisine was not only complete, it was also filled with the oldest and most particular recipes. It was also because of this, that Su Family today's "Royal Kitchen" could be so highly regarded, and earn so much money.
However, there was a saying, "My peers are enemies". Although not everyone would be jealous of their peers, it was hard to avoid a group of people who were jealous of their abilities and always wanted to take other people's belongings with them. The entire seating area of Su Family naturally became the coveting of some people with ulterior motives.
Half a year ago, Su Xinyu's parents were kidnapped once. The kidnappers directly said they would exchange all the dishes on the table for hostages. However, Old Man Su did not compromise and secretly reported it to the police. It wasn't that he didn't care about the life and death of her son and daughter-in-law, but that he couldn't hand over the dishes passed down in her family. Either he would let down her ancestors and future generations of Su Family, or she would let down his son and daughter-in-law. Before both, he could only choose the former, which was the ability he had left for her granddaughter to live better. And he didn't trust the kidnapper.
Fortunately, the police were very capable in handling these cases, and the kidnapper was not a veteran. Although the plan was good, the police managed to locate Su Xinyu's parents within half a day and safely rescued them. The kidnapper was caught. After the inspection, they were hired by the boss of "Yu ManLou". That Boss Yu even promised to pay them a million yuan as a reward after the deal was completed.
Yu ManLou was also a famous old restaurant in Beijing. However, this reputation naturally could not be compared with Su Family. The Yu family's Yu family's Yu ManLou is mainly engaged in the river fresh seafood, especially fresh fish hotpot the most outstanding. He had been doing quite well, but after the death of Master Yu, his eldest son had inherited Fish ManLou. The quality of the ingredients had clearly declined, and the quality of the dishes had quickly declined as well.
Back then, the relationship between the Old Master Yu and Su Xinyu's grandfather was not bad, so the Old Master Yu knew that there was an ancestral menu from Su Family that recorded the entire Han Dynasty's preparation method. However, at that time, Old Master Yu had only been envious, and hadn't had any evil intentions. But Master Yu's son didn't think so. As the business at Yu ManLou got worse and worse, and the business at Royal Kitchen was still as good as ever, his thoughts went astray.
This Boss Yu was sentenced to prison, but Old Man Su died soon after due to being in a hurry and being old. But when Father Su was kidnapped, in order to protect Mother Su's injured right arm, she couldn't cook for the time being. Thus, he could only give pointers on the matters of the chef. Fortunately, Su Xinyu stayed in her own restaurant after graduating from university last year.
Father Su's arm was in pain so he didn't go to the Royal Kitchen. When Su Xinyu returned at night, she brought along a Sweet 'n' Sour Lotus Duck that was made by a new chef. But her father had to nod. This rule in the kitchen cannot be messed up.
The Su Family was still living in the courtyard that was left behind from the old days. There weren't many families that could afford to live in a courtyard house these days, and many ancestors had already sold off their families. Not to mention the two houses known as Su Family.
Su Xinyu was never afraid of anything since she was young. She was only afraid of thunder, so she shivered, and quickly opened the door and ran in.
Mrs Su just happened to come out of the kitchen with a plate of fruits. Seeing her daughter acting so impetuously, she smiled and said, "Look, such a big girl and she's still so unsteady. What if she can't get married?!"
Su Xinyu smiled as shshemoved closer to her mother, picked up a cherry from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth. As she ate, he muttered to herself, "Then I'll take on a son-in-law. Our Su Family's craftsmanship just so happens to depend on me to pass down."
Mother Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You kid can talk nonsense about years and things like that. Don't be in the hospital anymore. Your father's arm is much better after taking the medicine, so isn't there a new chef to try out today? "Hurry up and report to him. It's not easy staying at home."
Su Xinyu sighed and ran to the main house.
In actuality, only the front courtyard of Su Family was inhabited by people. The backyard stored some old items, and two of them were secret recipes for all kinds of dishes that Grandpa Su had collected in his lifetime. It could be said that they were everything that he needed. However, the menu 'Imperial Dining' was not among them. The last time Father Su and Mother Su were kidnapped, that surnamed Yu had found someone to surreptitiously search through it. In the end, he found nothing.
Aside from the books, there were also some famous calligraphy and paintings, and some other valuable items passed down in the Su Family Ancestors. However, a lot of people would not think that those pots and pans were worth much, just like the way Grandpa Su casually displayed his skills.
The backyard of the Su Family was basically still as quaint as ever. In the front yard's room, there was no longer any trace of ancientness.
Because he had taken the medicine, Father Su felt a lot more comfortable. At this moment, he was watching the online cooking videos while drawing and writing at the same time.
"Dad, why is the pain in your arm still writing? Didn't the doctor tell you to rest more? " Seeing that her father was recording the recipe, Su Xinyu quickly went forward to take the remote control and pressed the stop button.
When Father Su saw that his daughter had returned, he smiled guiltily. I'm not just bored. Besides, this is the rule of Su Family. There is a recipe that must be recorded. "
Su Xinyu took the pen and the book. Let me do it. You'd better get some rest. When your arm is ready, you can write whatever you want. "
