Crossing a street, the two came to a restaurant called "Bai Ji". The store was not big, only about 30 or 40 square meters. Looking at the old tables, chairs and signs, Jiang Hao curled his lips and said, "It's here? What delicious food can here be?"
The female reporter rolled her eyes.
"You are so picky even in this state. Let me tell you, if you fool me, I will report you on the news tomorrow."
Jiang Hao shrugged.
The two entered the restaurant and found a table and chair to sit down. There were several tables of diners around. The restaurant is small but quite lively, with many customers. I think the food here should not be bad. The waiter came over with a menu, threw it on the table, and said in a light manner:
"What do you two want to eat?"
He looked at the two with a notebook in his hand, without a smile.
The female reporter was about to order food, Jiang Hao took the menu and looked at it, and ordered four dishes at random, "Hey, let's just have these four."
The female reporter's eyes widened, "You're really rude, ordering four dishes."
She originally wanted to order two dishes to deal with it, who knew if this guy would make up a lie to cheat her out of a meal, but she didn't expect the other him to be so rude and directly order four.
Jiang Hao looked at the female reporter who was holding her breath and said with a smile, "I don't even know your name yet."
"Zhen Xiaoqiu, a reporter from the ATV News Department."
The female reporter said in a stiff tone, "Hey, you said there was a chance for me to become famous, can you tell me now?"
Jiang Hao smiled, "Be patient, I'll tell you after dinner."
Zhen Xiaoqiu turned her head away in anger and looked elsewhere. She was really confused. Why did she believe him and bring him to dinner? It seems that this time she will lose a lot of money.
Jiang Hao only then carefully looked at the female reporter in front of him. The female reporter was not tall, with a decent figure, and looked a bit like Qiu Shuzhen, but the big black-framed glasses on her face destroyed her beauty, otherwise she could barely be considered a beauty.
Although the restaurant was small, the serving speed was not slow. Soon, four dishes were served: lettuce with oyster sauce, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, Cantonese-style boiled shrimp, and steamed fish.
These four dishes were considered home-cooked dishes. Basically, every restaurant had these dishes. Of course, the more home-cooked the dishes were, the more popular they were.
Jiang Hao ate quickly and accurately. He soon ate half a plate of each dish, which made the female reporter stunned. Is this guy a starving ghost reincarnated? He is also a god of food. It turns out that he is this kind of person when he is hungry.
While eating, Jiang Hao opened the system light curtain. Others could not see the light curtain. Jiang Hao found that the progress bar on the light curtain did not change. It seemed that the system did not recognize these dishes as top-notch delicacies.
With a full stomach, Jiang Hao put down his chopsticks and said loudly: "These dishes are really not very good. They are not up to standard at all."
His voice was not small. The restaurant was not big. Everyone heard Jiang Hao's words and looked over.
The female reporter was embarrassed for a moment and said unhappily: "Hey, what do you mean? I invited you to dinner and you're still picky."
Jiang Hao signaled to the female reporter with his eyes and whispered: "Don't say anything, just watch."
The female reporter didn't know what Jiang Hao was up to, but she still shut up and waited to see what he was going to do.
Jiang Hao continued to say loudly, "A chef of this level dares to come out to cook. You can sue him for fraud. I don't know how he got his start."
This was a bit too much, and many people frowned.
"Who is saying bad things about me!"
A roar came from behind, and a fat guy came out of the kitchen with a big spoon in his hand.
Looking at Jiang Hao, the fat chef pointed at Jiang Hao with the spoon in his hand and said angrily: "Boy, are you here to make trouble? My Baiji has been in business for nearly 20 years, and no one says that the food I cook is not delicious. If you come to make trouble sincerely, believe it or not, I will beat you to death with a spoon."
As he said that, he waved the big spoon in his hand.
The fat chef was aggressive, but Jiang Hao was not afraid at all. He picked up the chopsticks and pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "I'm not here to make trouble. I just think these dishes are not well cooked. Can't I say it if I don't like it?"
"Okay, I'll let you tell me what's not good about it. But if you can't point it out, don't think about walking out safely today. I, Lao Bai, am not someone who will be bullied." The fat chef said with a sneer on his face.
If Jiang Hao couldn't explain it, the fat chef wouldn't mind letting him taste the big spoon.
Picking up a lettuce from the dish of lettuce with oyster sauce, Jiang Hao said loudly: "Lettuce with oyster sauce, although this dish is simple, it requires good control of the heat. When the minced garlic is stir-fried and turns slightly yellow, immediately put in the lettuce and stir-fry over high heat until it is cooked. If it is overcooked, it will not be crispy and tender enough."
"Look at this lettuce, it is obviously too old, like it has been boiled in water, and it does not feel crispy or tender at all."
"Also, for lettuce with oyster sauce, it is best to use Lee Kum Kee's Old Village oyster sauce. Lee Kum Kee's oyster sauce has fresh, salty and sweet flavors. Only in this way can the lettuce fried with oyster sauce have an attractive color, be crispy, tender, fresh and sweet."
Jiang Hao pointed to the dishes on the plate and said, "Look for yourself, they don't look crispy, tender, fresh or sweet at all."
The fat chef was stunned by what he said. This guy could even tell that the oyster sauce was not from Lee Kum Kee. He also knew that Lee Kum Kee's oyster sauce was good, but Lee Kum Kee's oyster sauce was much more expensive, so he changed to another brand of oyster sauce.
When the other diners saw that the fat chef was told by the young man that he couldn't talk back, they knew that he must have been right. They immediately knew that the young man was not here to make trouble. They immediately became more interested and watched the fun.
Zhen Xiaoqiu was also curious about the situation. Although she didn't know what Jiang Hao was going to do, she thought it was quite interesting.
Jiang Hao didn't finish yet, and pointed to another dish and said, "Now let me talk about this 'Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork'."
"Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork, as the name suggests, is pineapple and sweet and sour pork fried together, and the key is the sweet and sour pork."
Jiang Hao picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and continued, "Choose the best tenderloin, marinate it with ingredients for 5 minutes, coat it with starch, and fry it in the pan when the oil is 70% hot. Fry it until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When it is golden brown, I tell you, the children next door will cry with envy."
"The oil temperature is the key here. Your sweet and sour pork is obviously not the best tenderloin, and the oil temperature is too high. It's not fried well. Bad review."
The fat chef's face became even uglier.
Jiang Hao didn't intend to let him go, and continued: "Let's talk about this 'Cantonese-style boiled shrimp'. This dish is very simple and we eat it often. Even so, it cannot be made without care. Don't you think so?"
"The shrimps in your dish are not fresh, the shrimp threads are not cleaned, the shrimp whiskers are not cut, and the shrimps are overcooked. More importantly, the sauce you prepared is really substandard. Bad review."
"Finally, let's talk about this steamed fish."
