Second Update.
…
These were things that outsiders did not know. Qin Fang and the Tang family would not take the initiative to tell others.
Qin Fang greeted Secretary Tang and the others. Then, he was rushed by Tang Feifei to prepare the dishes. He did not need to be in charge of every dish. He only needed to cook one or two dishes that he was best at.
Regarding this point, Qin Fang had been pondering and considering on the way to the kitchen.
Currently, Qin Fang's [Cooking] skill had reached Intermediate 95%, and he was only one step away from leveling up. Even Wen Yi, who had an extremely fast leveling speed and high comprehension, couldn't be compared to him.
"Sigh, Li Rui got lucky …"
However, when he thought of the people sitting in the private room, most of them could be considered as his own people. The only exception was Li Rui. Even if he came to congratulate Fang Feixue, Qin Fang knew that he was an enemy. He was a poisonous snake with evil intentions behind his smile.
As the saying went, when friends came, there was good wine. When wolves came, there was a shotgun.
The Tang family were all friends. Naturally, they would treat them with good wine and delicacies. However, there was a wolf mixed in. Qin Fang still had to serve good wine and delicacies. It was hard not to be depressed.
…
In the kitchen.
"Master, what are you cooking?"
Wen Yi, who was wearing a white chef's robe, looked at the pot of dishes that Qin Fang was cooking. However, her eyes were filled with confusion. It was a bit like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. However, the ingredients used and cooking method were similar. However, there were more differences. That was why she asked.
Sun Liang, Wu Ping, and Zhou Rui were also standing at the side like curious babies. They watched carefully, but there was no place for them to speak.
Sun Liang and Wu Ping were still fine. At the very least, they already had the Beginner Cooking skill. They could be considered to have officially entered the door. As long as they continued to practice diligently, it wouldn't take long for them to become another Chef after Wen Yi.
As for Zhou Rui, he was slightly worse. He could only start from the basics. However, Wen Yi would occasionally give him a few words of advice. Although she did not accept him as her disciple, Zhou Rui was still very respectful to Wen Yi, even though he was slightly older than her.
"This is a dish that I suddenly came up with. Watch carefully. If you can master it, it will be Fangfei Xue's signature dish in the future …"
This dish was the result of Qin Fang's contemplation. It was also something he had learned before advancing to Advanced Cooking. At the same time, it was also a very special cooking technique.
This dish was based on the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup. However, the selection of ingredients was more stringent and the cooking methods were more varied. Frying, stir-frying, boiling, deep-frying, pasting, roasting, stewing, steaming … More than ten different cooking methods were used before they were mixed together. In the end, a very special dish was created … It wasn't like the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup which was simply braised.
"Wen Yi, come and help me …"
The cooking of this dish was extremely difficult. What it really needed was time. However, Secretary Tang and the others were already waiting in the private room. Qin Fang had no choice but to pull Wen Yi over. The two of them worked together to cook this dish.
The two experts who had Intermediate Cooking. Even though there was still a big gap between their abilities, this little difference would not make a big difference in the overall dish.
He gave Wen Yi a detailed explanation of what she needed to do. Wen Yi listened very seriously and nodded from time to time. She seemed to have understood something. Even if there were some difficulties, she only hesitated for a moment. Soon, she understood and immediately started to cook.
On the other hand, Sun Liang and Wu Ping, the pair of junior brothers, felt that it was quite mysterious. They barely knew how to cook it, but they did not know why to cook it this way and how to cook it well. This was the difference in cooking standards.
The cooking process was very complicated. Even the chefs in the kitchen were helping to cut the ingredients. Qin Fang and Wen Yi were super fast. Especially Qin Fang, who was proficient in one-handed weapons, used kitchen knives, spatulas, soup ladles, and so on exquisitely. However, it still took nearly half an hour to finish.
Taking advantage of this time, the dishes on the tables of the guests outside were almost all served. Wen Yi was personally in charge of the private room.
When Qin Fang pushed open the door of the private room with his cart and walked in, all eyes were fixed on him. To Qin Fang's surprise, the people outside had already started to eat, but inside the private room, they were still chatting and didn't eat.
"I'm very sorry to have made everyone wait for so long!"
Looking at the empty seat next to Tang Feifei and next to Secretary Tang, Qin Fang's heart shook slightly. He said very apologetically.
"Xiao Qin is here. Sit down quickly!"
Secretary Tang, however, still maintained his genial smile. He didn't get angry at Qin Fang for making them wait for half an hour.
"Yes, Secretary Tang …"
Qin Fang said respectfully. At the same time, he placed the real main dish on the table. However, it was still covered with a large metal lid.
Qin Fang was very respectful to this majestic middle-aged man. Not only because of his status, but also because he was Tang Feifei's father.
"Xiao Qin, you don't have to call me Secretary Tang. Just call me Uncle Tang from now on …"
Secretary Tang smiled and said very kindly. He was quite satisfied with Qin Fang now, so he naturally became closer to him.
"Yes, Uncle Tang!"
Qin Fang didn't stand on ceremony and immediately called out. Tang Feifei, who was beside him, also revealed a bright smile on her face.
"This dish is our Fangfei Xue's signature dish. It is also specially prepared for you …"
In the face of Secretary Tang's great hospitality, Qin Fang really did not know how to repay him. He immediately stood up and opened the huge metal lid on the table, revealing the dish inside.
"Wow, it smells so good …"
Ding Chuchu, this girl, always said whatever she wanted to say. Almost at the same time when Qin Fang opened the lid, the tempting aroma immediately rushed to her face. This little girl could not help but jump up when she smelled it. Not only did her appetite increase greatly, but she also almost directly moved her chopsticks. Only then did she see Secretary Tang looking at her with a smile. She smiled very embarrassedly.
"Not bad, the aroma is very good …"
Fortunately, Secretary Tang did not care. With his status, he had tried all kinds of dishes, so he was very calm. However, this simple evaluation of the dish was very honest.
"Xiao Qin, what is the taste of this dish?
It looks a bit like Buddha Jumps Over The Wall, but it doesn't seem to be very similar … "
Looking at the seven distinct colors in the pot, even Secretary Tang, who had seen countless kinds of delicacies, felt that this dish was not simple.
"Actually, there is nothing special. This dish is called Exquisite Seven Orifices. It uses different cooking methods to cook the various ingredients separately. Then, it is mixed in a pot and stewed with Buddha Jumps Over The Wall. The seven flavors each have their own way and can be mixed with each other. It is a perfect combination. That is why it is called Exquisite Seven Orifices …"
Qin Fang explained with a smile. The real cooking process was far more difficult than what he said. Seven dishes with different flavors were mixed in a pot and then simmered for a few minutes. Not only did it have to maintain the original taste, but it also had to be mixed with each other. The difficulty was simply unimaginable …
"Exquisite Seven Orifices … Good name!"
Secretary Tang nodded slightly and praised. But when he glanced at Qin Fang, a strange look flashed across his eyes. "What a coincidence!" Qin Fang thought.
In fact, this name was only given by Qin Fang on a whim. There was no special meaning. However, looking at Secretary Tang's expression, it seemed that he had already given it some meaning in his heart. It was just that Qin Fang did not notice this.
"Uncle Tang, you are an elder!
Please come first and taste our Fangfeixue's signature dish … "
Qin Fang immediately said respectfully.
"Good, good!
Xiao Qin, you promised me that after eating your dishes, you will definitely let me be a returning customer. If I am not satisfied, I will hit you with a plank … "
Secretary Tang said with a smile as he reached out with his chopsticks.
He was very particular about the way he picked the dishes. Most people would pick one of the seven dishes when they encountered such a strange dish. That was to say, they would try one of the seven dishes first. However, Secretary Tang went straight to the middle of the dish, which was a mixture of the seven dishes.
In the world of cooking, the most taboo was to have a mixture of flavors. That would only completely ruin an originally delicious dish. This dish was the same. If the seven flavors were mixed together and could not be harmonized, then no matter how delicious the other seven flavors were, the dish would still be ruined …
When the dish entered his mouth, Secretary Tang's expression did not change much. This immediately made Qin Fang slightly nervous.
As the chef of this dish, Qin Fang was very satisfied with this dish. Although he did not dare to say that it was flawless, Qin Fang believed that he had reached the highest level he had ever reached.
If he wanted to have a higher breakthrough, he could only wait until he became an advanced chef.
However, Secretary Tang did not say anything. Qin Fang did not understand whether he was satisfied with this dish or not.
After all, Secretary Tang was very knowledgeable. He must have eaten more food than Qin Fang. Perhaps Qin Fang's Exquisite Seven Orifices was not as high in Secretary Tang's heart as he thought.
"Come, come, come … Everyone, try it!"
Secretary Tang's calmness made Qin Fang very nervous. However, there was nothing wrong with it. He just smiled and said to everyone present.
Naturally, the others did not dare to disobey. They all raised their chopsticks and tried the dish …
As if considering that Secretary Tang had tried the dish in the middle of the dish with the most mixed flavors, the others only hesitated for a moment. Regardless of whether it was delicious or not, they did not touch that area. Instead, they followed the principle of the principle of proximity and tasted the dishes around it.
