Chapter 359: The Throne

Chef Paul from Wonderland of Oz had said before that he wanted to open a store in Beichang City when he participated in the food match.

Now the branch of Wonderland of Oz has opened in Beichang City as scheduled, but the chef is not Chef Paul himself.

Despite this, the new chef sent him an application for business cooperation and asked him to taste it.

In Bai Renzong's opinion, this undoubtedly had a bit of provocation.

Regardless of whether the other party invited him for provocation or to ask him to help promote the newly opened restaurant, Bai Renzong decided to go to the appointment. He wanted to see what the new chef who replaced Chef Paul had.

Although Chef Paul's cuisine may be a little inferior to Yang Hua and the other two in terms of taste, his personal style is still very distinct. This kind of chef with a strong personal style is difficult to replace.

So Bai Renzong was a little looking forward to the chef of the branch.

"Hey, I haven't come out to shoot a shop visit video for a long time. I'm in such a good mood." Wang Bei said happily in the passenger seat.

"Without Mumu, I always feel like something is missing." Bai Renzong muttered while driving.

"Oh, you're not tired of sticking together for 24 hours a day." Wang Bei joked, "You know you have children, but you're still so loving. My old Wang and I have entered a dull period."

"So I have to get married during the passionate love period. Getting married is impulsive. The more I think about it, the less I don't want to get married." Bai Renzong glared at her and said, then looked at the navigation, "It's almost time to turn left."

After a turn, I saw the four big words "Wonderland of Oz" at a glance.

Although it is a new store, it is obviously a flyer that has been distributed to promote it. Now it has chosen to open on a holiday, so there are still many customers in the store.

As soon as I entered the store, a strong fragrance came to my face, and the guests' expressions were very pleasant.

It seems that the taste of this store is obviously pretty good.

Bai Renzong was thinking that at this time a waiter saw the camera in Wang Bei's hand and came forward to remind him: "Hello, we do not allow photography here, and it will disturb other guests' meals."

"It was the chef you here who invited me to come." Bai Renzong explained, "Business Cooperation."

"Wait," the waiter said, hurriedly entering. After a while, a woman with short hair in a chef's uniform came out.

This woman is about twenty-seven or eight years old, with small and delicate melon seeds and pretty facial features. Although she is not as beautiful as Han Jiayi, she exudes a gentleness and softness unique to oriental women.

"Hello, I am the chef of this restaurant, my name is Cai Jia." The other party smiled and shook hands with Bai Renzong. "It's an honor to see you. I have heard of your name for a long time. I have watched your program every episode, which is very professional."

"Thank you." Bai Renzong politely asked, "What's wrong with Chef Paul? I thought he would be responsible for this branch."

"Oh, there is actually no complicated reason." Cai Jia explained with a smile. "On the one hand, my cooking skills are better than him, and I am a Chinese, so the restaurant owner asked me to take charge of the restaurant here."

These words surprised Bai Renzong: Is this little girl’s cooking skills better than Chef Paul?

You know, Chef Paul is in her forties at least, and her experience has been accumulated over the years, but this girl looks like she is only in her twenties. The owner of the restaurant actually thinks she is better than Chef Paul?

This girl definitely has something special about her.

"Then, let's order food first and then start shooting." Bai Renzong greeted.

"Please." Cai Jia raised her hand and smiled, "I will cook for you in person."

Bai Renzong looked at the menu and found that the types of dishes in this restaurant were very complicated.

There are both traditional Chinese dishes such as Mapo tofu, curry and Tom Yum Gong, which are representative foreign dishes. Bai Renzong looked around and finally became interested in one of the sets: "This, medicinal curry set, come with one."

He has eaten curry and medicinal food, but when the medicinal food and curry are mixed, it will be fresh.

You should know that the traditional Chinese medicine used in medicinal foods usually have strong aroma and flavor, and the spices in curry also have strong flavor. Mixing the two together is not something that ordinary people can handle.

As long as you don’t handle it at all, the final taste will be very unpalatable. Even if it is medicinal food, its essence is still the cuisine, and deliciousness is the basic requirement.

"Then, I want a bunny burger steak, this is really rare." Wang Bei pointed to the menu and said.

"Rabbit Meat Burger Stick..." Bai Renzong also raised his eyebrows in surprise.

You should know that not all meat is suitable for making hamburger steaks. Rabbit meat is one of them, because rabbit meat has too much lean meat and lacks fat. Moreover, the herbivorous one has a mutton smell. The unique mutton smell of rabbit meat is heavier than mutton, and it is difficult to regulate.

While waiting for the meal, Bai Renzong looked at the dishes ordered by others in the store, including various Chinese and Western foods.

However, the price fluctuation of this store is actually quite large. There are less than 200 packages and more than 20,000 packages. This is not rational in Bai Renzong's opinion. If he wants to catch all the customers, the final result is that all the customers are not caught.

What is important for restaurants is to have a positioning that suits them, select a type of guests, and then lock their stomachs firmly.

Soon, Cai Jia personally brought the set meal ordered by Bai Renzong and Wang Bei. She respectfully placed the set meal in front of Bai Renzong and smiled and said, "Please use it? Eat it within fifteen to twenty minutes after serving, and the flavor is the best."

After saying that, she stood by the table and waited.

Bai Renzong looked at his medicinal curry set meal, which included a Thai fragrant rice, two side dishes were green papaya salad, a fried platter, and a dessert almond tofu.

This merger of Chinese and Western cultures makes people feel a bit confusing at first glance. The curry style should be Indian, but it is paired with Thai fragrant rice and a Chinese almond tofu.

Bai Renzong first tasted the green papaya salad, then raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hmm? How could this fragrance... be so special? Is this the fragrance of garlic?"

"That's right." Cai Jia smiled from the side, "In fact, the essence of garlic is released when cut, so I added the steamed garlic to this salad and then mashed it. In this way, the essence of garlic will be left inside the salad."

"So that's it... I've eaten green papaya salad before, and it's far less intense." Bai Renzong suddenly realized, "It's amazing that just a little bit of detail changes can actually bring such a clear difference...."

"The use of spices is not simply adding spices to the dishes." Cai Jia explained with a smile, "The same spices will also have great differences in the effects of treating them in different ways."

Bai Renzong nodded, then tasted the fried platters, which were fried shrimp cakes and fried meat cakes.

As soon as he ate it, Bai Renzong couldn't help frowning: "The ginger inside is so soft, the light ginger aroma and gentle taste just rightly cover up the fishy smell of the meat without being too strong. Moreover, I didn't eat ginger inside at all. In my opinion, eating ginger when eating meat patties is as disappointing as publishing advertisements when watching a show."

"I soaked the ginger in mineral water and used only this part of the ginger water." Cai Jia explained, "The ginger water is enough to cover up the fishy smell of the meat without destroying the deliciousness of the meat."

At this time, Bai Renzong had already roughly understood the girl's cooking style.

He then turned to the core of the entire set meal, which is the medicinal curry.

The curry is made from chicken, you can see the chicken leg and chicken wing roots, and visually you can see wolfberry added. Only other ingredients can be found after eating it.

Bai Renzong scooped up a spoonful of curry and rice and stuttered. For a moment, various rich fragrances burst out in his mouth. He closed his eyes and felt carefully: "The medicinal materials include angelica, wolfberry, licorice and ginseng, while the curry uses cloves, cumin, and turmeric. The focus is on curry, and fresh curry leaves are added instead of curry powder."

"The aroma of curry leaves is stronger than that of dry curry powder," Cai Jia explained. "In my store, all curry is made of fresh curry leaves instead of curry powder. And these curry leaves are grown by me personally, and the quality is guaranteed."

"I think the most amazing thing is to combine these Chinese medicine and spices together, but there is no conflict at all." Bai Renzong frowned and said, "I have to admit that Chef Cai Jia's use of spices is really amazing... But I really can't figure out how to make the flavor of these spices so vivid without affecting other spices?"

"A little trick." Cai Jia smiled, "Usually when cooking curry, everyone uses chicken stock, but I use water. Because spices are actually something with distinctive personality, you need to determine the protagonist and supporting role in it, and then arrange enough scenes and stages for it separately. Just like this curry, its protagonist is curry leaves."

"Then why do you need to use water instead of chicken soup?" Bai Renzong asked.

"Avoid the excess flavor suppressing the taste of curry leaves." Cai Jia smiled brilliantly, "I have also made adjustments to the amount of other spices, so that a stage with curry as the main one and other spices as the supplement."

"So that's it..." Bai Renzong suddenly realized, "I learned something new."

"Is this woman's nose very powerful?" Wang Bei asked in Bai Renzong's ear.

"I don't think it has anything to do with the nose." Bai Renzong shook his head, "What she is great about is how to treat spices and knows how to bring out the maximum power of spices."
