Chapter 324: Attentive
"Why? I don't think I have poor skills."
Xie Bin frowned and watched from a distance.
When he first met the immortal, he went to Gu Ji to try Gu Chu's skills, which was indeed amazing. Over the years, his father and grandfather would occasionally sigh, saying that ordinary chefs worked hard for ten years but could not compare to the truly talented chef.
He admitted it too.
Gu Chu is talented, and the food he cooks is as he said, and it is close to the truth.
But that was the best food she cooked with the best ingredients. Now these are just simple snacks. No matter how good the skills are, how can they be used?
Xie Bin couldn't taste what he did, and it was so different from what Gu Chu did.
The ingredients he used were even better, and they all served the top ingredients from Fanlou. Not to mention the chef who just arrived in Beijing, even if he opened a shop in Beijing for many years, he would never be able to buy it without connections.
Xie Bin always felt that if he had taken a big advantage in this battle with Gu Chu, even if he won, he would be unfair.
But it doesn't matter. He just wants Gu Chu to return to the right path and not waste his talent.
Gu Xiang was stared by Xie Bin for several days, and came back to his senses and blinked, "Huh? What Chef Xie means, do you think I'm too incompetent to make snacks?"
Qiu Li hesitated and said, "Yes... right?"
The master and servant looked at each other, and Gu Xiang was stunned for a while and couldn't help laughing: "I remember who said that Liu Jiacai enjoyed a reputation in the capital and Jiangnan, and Liu Ji was even more famous in the imperial capital?"
Qiu Li nodded.
When Li Zijun started to run the first sight of the immortal, Xie Bin and Xie Jiacai were their biggest signs. They wanted to pull others' ears and tell them to others. Qiu Li and the others naturally heard of it. At that time, many diners were quite awe of the "first sight of the immortal".
Gu Xiang sighed: "If it were me, when I went out and saw another outstanding person was wasting his time, I wanted him to return to the right path. It just so happened that I had connections and money. Then I would definitely go to the talented and talented person to say, "I can invest in you, how about you open a restaurant?" Otherwise, I have some other thoughts. My family also runs a big restaurant, so I should go and recruit a few, such as giving a certain part of the company and asking this person to invest in his own restaurant."
Qiu Li nodded repeatedly.
Cherry smiled and said, "I just said, I always feel that something is wrong."
Qiu Li was also speechless: "This guy named Liu is really in a bad mind."
How could you think that the other person should have a better future because you have to steal the other person's business and make trouble for others?
What Xie Bin does now is that his wife doesn't care about it. If it were someone else, even if she didn't get angry, she would never interact with each other from now on.
"Why?"
Xie Bin walked slowly to Gu Xiang's snack stall again. He had a high presence recently. The diners in line knew that he was the chef of Xie Jiacai opposite. No one scolded him to queue up again, and they couldn't help but turn to see him.
After staring at Gu Xiang for a while, she saw her skillfully kneading the dough, pounding fish balls, pinching a long-handled wooden spoon, scooping out various sauces and mixing them with delicately ground ingredients. She had a little careless movement in a relaxed and casual manner. She was indeed skillful and fast, but apart from that, she really couldn't see any tricks.
Gu Chu didn't even keep the recipe for her seasonings secret. These snack stalls that do barbecue businesses and cook skewers are still not comparable to Gu Chu in terms of taste, but it is already close to one or two points, even one or two points is extremely close.
Like their Xie family dish, after the dish is ordered, the ingredients are strictly kept confidential. Apart from his relatives, even his grandfather’s disciples, he cannot learn it.
When the chef is so good, there is no need for others to learn secretly, so she lets people see her.
Xie Bin sighed, but this also shows that these snacks are indeed not the specialty of Chu Gu and are not important at all.
He pondered for a moment, turned to look at a familiar diner at the front. The diner looked in his forties and should be a businessman, wearing silk clothes, and there was neither the arrogance of a scholar nor the arrogance of a noble man in his eyebrows.
This guy seemed to have come to Gu Chu for several days in a row for dinner. He also went to his place a few days ago and ordered a steamed fish dish and a steamed goose palm.
"Mr., do you think the snacks of 'Gu Ji' are better, or the 'Xie Jia Cui' are better?"
The diner's name is Guo Ming, a grain merchant from Jiangnan. Although Xie Bin was shocked, he was not angry. He was bored and didn't mind saying a few words.
Guo Ming did not recognize Xie Bin. He went to eat Xie's food a few days ago, but mainly went to eat, so he didn't care about what the chef looked like.
"Which one is better? Well, they are all good."
Guo Ming smiled embarrassedly, "But I like the food of 'Gu Ji'. I like ginger slices. The ginger slices in the Bobo meat of 'Gu Ji' are very delicious."
Xie Bin nodded, thought for a while, and then asked the diners behind him.
"Everything is OK. Xie Jia cuisine is good, but I only eat it in 'Gu Ji'. 'Gu Ji' is comfortable. Xie Jia cuisine occasionally tastes fresh."
"I have never eaten the opposite one. Of course, our 'Gu Ji's dishes are better. There are too few dishes, few tables, few chairs, and few waiters, but there are many diners."
"There is no reason, I just like to eat 'Gu Ji', it's delicious, very delicious."
Xie Bin instantly became serious and looked solemn. When he looked up, he happened to see Gu Xiang reaching out to stop Qiu Li, get up and pick up a jar of meat, pour out half of the soup inside, replace it with new ones, pick the skewers inside, put them on the tray, flip the back of the knife and gently slap it three times, and then put them back again before Qiu Li picking it up and sending it to diners.
Following Gu Xiang's gaze, Xie Bin saw that the diner was an old woman with gray hair and holding her little granddaughter in her arms. He bit her bite of the meat and fed her little granddaughter a bite. She smiled so hard that she could not see her teeth, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes looked particularly beautiful.
Xie Bin looked back at another diner's table and ordered two meat roasts. Compared with the meat roasts on other tables, his fire roasts were three or four times more chopped onions.
Yes, he happened to ask just now that this person likes to eat chopped green onions.
Xie Bin narrowed his eyes and suddenly understood why the dishes he chose better ingredients and made perfectly are not as good as the snacks that Chu Gu did casually.
It turned out that he was not attentive enough. He did not pay attention to the tastes and hobbies of these diners, but Gu Chu paid attention to it.
