Chapter 67 How about, compare to 1?
67 How about a comparison?
Liang Zhangkun's face was deep, and after listening to the conversation between his son and daughter, he gently raised his hand: "Okay, okay, stop arguing."
He looked at Liang Lizhi, his tone softened, and he said slowly: "Lizhi, just listen to Dad this time, and get rid of Xiao Liang's belly. If you really like to open a restaurant, you can also open other restaurants! You can open a restaurant, or other fast food restaurants! Right? There’s no need to open this belly shop, right?”
Liang Lizhi looked at her father very puzzled: "No, Dad, I don't understand why you always want me to close the shop? Why does Liang's belly business go bad? Don't you really know the reason?
Junkai used to be idle and didn't even bother to learn crafts, so you insist on handing over the shop to him.If you haven't mastered the craftsmanship, and the fried belly is not delicious, the business will naturally deteriorate.
This has nothing to do with whether I can open a belly shop.Even if I close the fried belly shop, the business of Liang's fried belly will not improve. "
"Who said I'm not in the mood to learn crafts?" Liang Junkai said anxiously.
"Shut up!" Liang Zhangkun glared at him.
Then, he looked at Liang Lizhi again, and said softly: "Yes, your brother is indeed not good at learning, and it's also my fault that I didn't check it well and let him run the belly shop by himself too early. I will continue to sit in the shop in the future and keep an eye on him personally. Let him have a belly bust."
At this time, Liang Junkai heard that his father was going to be in charge of the store again, and when he thought that he would be stared at all day again, he became anxious.
"No, Dad, I..." As soon as Liang Junkai spoke, Liang Zhangkun glared at him, and was immediately frightened back by what he said later.
"I will keep an eye on your brother, but your store still has to be closed." Liang Zhangkun said.
"Why?" Liang Lizhi asked.
"Because you stole the craftsmanship handed down from our Liang family! Our Liang family has had ancestral precepts since ancient times, and the craftsmanship is passed on from male to female. If you violate the ancestral precept, this store cannot continue to operate." Liang Zhangkun said.
"When did I secretly learn the handicrafts handed down from the Liang family?" Liang Lizhi looked at Liang Zhangkun in a daze, "Since I opened the shop, you have not even let me go in the shop, how can I steal it?"
"That's what you learned secretly when you were helping in the shop!" Liang Zhangkun said with certainty.
"I didn't!" Liang Lizhi firmly denied.
"If not, then how do you explain why your store's business is so good?" Liang Zhangkun asked.
Looking into Liang Lizhi's eyes, he continued: "Are you going to tell me that you realized the skill of making belly pops yourself?"
After a pause, he continued: "Even if you are really talented, but your store has only been open for more than half a year, could it be that in such a short period of time, your own skills are better than your brother's?
No matter how stupid your brother is, he has been studying with me for two years.Is it possible that it is not as good as your own comprehension? "
"Dad, why are you talking about me again?" Liang Junkai muttered.
"Shut up!" Liang Zhangkun gave him a hard look.
If it wasn't for this one son, Liang Zhangkun would have slapped him long ago.
This kid has learned the craft for so long, but he can still make belly pop like this.
The skill of bursting belly is actually not difficult to learn. If someone teaches it by hand, as long as they are willing to put their heart into it, two years is definitely enough to become a teacher.
What's more, with the support of this ancestral signboard, as long as the quality of the belly is [-]% to [-]%, the business of this shop will definitely not be bad.
Unexpectedly, Liang Junkai could make the business worse and worse.
Liang Zhangkun also became more and more angry.
Sometimes he would also think that it would be great if this Liang Lizhi was his son, but God didn't fulfill his wishes, but it was his daughter.
How can this ancestral craftsmanship be passed on to his daughter?
This daughter is going to be married off, once she is married off, won't this skill be leaked out?
Therefore, according to the ancestral precepts, this skill of bursting belly must not be passed on to the daughter!
----
Liang Zhangkun took a breath, adjusted his breathing, and continued: "It is impossible to comprehend it by yourself in such a short time. Therefore, you must have learned this skill secretly!"
"I didn't steal it! It's true that I didn't learn this skill myself, someone taught me!" Liang Lizhi said.
"Someone taught you? Who will teach you how to eat?" Liang Zhangkun looked at her with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He once secretly asked someone to go to Xiaoliang's fried belly shop to buy a fried belly.
Although the fried belly had been out of the pot for some time when it was delivered, it can still be tasted that the craftsmanship is really good.
If this skill is really like what Liang Lizhi said, if someone taught her, then this person's skill is absolutely extraordinary.
One must know that in order to inherit this craft, apart from the talent of the apprentice, whether the master's skill is deep or not is also a very important point.
From the apprentice's craftsmanship, the master's ability can be seen to some extent.
However, there are not many people in Fengze who can achieve this level of belly popping skills, and they all have their own store signs and their own inheritance, so how could they teach an outsider for no reason.
Therefore, he did not believe what his daughter Liang Lizhi said.
----
"No one will teach outsiders how to eat, Lizhi, do you think your father and I are so easy to fool?" Liang Zhangkun smiled, shook his head and said.
"Dad, why should I lie to you?" Liang Lizhi said.
At this time, Liu Shanwei also interjected.
"Uncle, Lizhi really didn't lie to you. Someone taught her her skills, and she really didn't learn it secretly. That person is..." Before Liu Shanwei finished speaking, Liang Zhangkun interrupted.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, Lizhi, let me say it again, you listen to dad, close the belly shop, and open any shop you want in the future, as long as it's not a belly shop, dad has no objection! "Liang Zhangkun said earnestly.
"No, Dad, why can't I explain it to you?" Liang Lizhi was a little anxious, "I told you, I really didn't learn the skill of popping my belly by stealing it!"
"I'm talking to you and you won't listen, right? Do I have to get angry?" Liang Zhangkun's tone became serious, looking a little angry.
Shi Nancheng, who had been listening for a long time, finally couldn't take it anymore.
He stood up and said, "Uncle Liang, why are you forcing your daughter like this?"
Liang Zhangkun was taken aback, and looked at Shi Nancheng with a frown: "Who are you? This is our family business, what are you talking about?"
"Hello, I'm the general manager of Zhonghua Building, and I'm also a friend of Sister Zhi." Shi Nancheng showed a somewhat cold smile.
The general manager of Zhonghua Building?
Liang Zhangkun was slightly taken aback.
When he was talking just now, he was only thinking about getting his daughter to close Xiaoliang's belly shop, and he didn't notice that Shi Nancheng was still in the room.
He always thought that the waiters had already retreated, but he never thought that Shi Nancheng would stand by the door without saying a word for such a long time.
What surprised him even more was that this young man was actually the general manager of Zhonghua Building. He thought Shi Nancheng was just the manager of the lobby.
Shi Nancheng has actually endured it for a long time. He is an outsider in the matter of the Liang family, so it's hard to say anything.
If it wasn't for the situation where Sister Zhi was scolded and cried by her father when she first met Sister Zhi, Shi Nancheng would never have stayed here on purpose.
Sure enough, today it really happened again.
After watching it for a long time, Shi Nancheng felt that Liang Lizhi's father was really unreasonable!
----
"So what if you are the general manager of Zhonghua Building? Why, is the general manager of Zhonghua Building still in charge of other people's family affairs?" Liang Zhangkun looked at Shi Nancheng coldly.
"I'm not just the general manager of Zhonghua Building, I'm also Sister Zhi's master..." Shi Nancheng intentionally played a bit, and gasped a little, "...a good friend."
Liang Zhangkun was taken aback for a moment, and then he was speechless. The way this guy speaks is too bad!
After that, I became suspicious again.
master?
Could it be that what Lizhi said was true?
Is there really such a person willing to teach her craft?
Liang Zhangkun frowned slightly.
"You said that someone taught you your craft? Where is that person?" Liang Zhangkun looked at Liang Lizhi.
"Sister Zhi's chef is the chief chef of our Zhonghua Building." Shi Nancheng said with a smile, with a look of pride in his brows and eyes.
Liang Zhangkun's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.
"Sister Zhi's skills were taught by our chef." Shi Nancheng continued, "It has nothing to do with you."
"Since you are the general manager of Zhonghua Building, you can't just talk about it." Liang Zhangkun looked at him and said half-believingly.
"If you don't believe me, I'll invite him over now." Shi Nancheng said.
Liang Zhangkun was noncommittal, Shi Nancheng immediately went to invite Mu Feng over.
Mu Feng is cooking for Liang Lizhi's family in the kitchen.
Although he didn't make it clear at the beginning that he wanted to accept Liang Lizhi as an apprentice, but since that day when he taught Liang Lizhi the skills in Xiaoliang Baodu, Liang Lizhi respected him as a teacher from the bottom of his heart.
Later, he even came to thank him with a gift, and he acquiesced in this master-student relationship.
Originally thinking that the apprentice came to Zhonghua Building today to discuss the important matters of marriage, so he planned to cook for himself to congratulate.
Unexpectedly, just halfway through the cooking and before the first dish was served, Shi Nancheng ran to the back kitchen to find him and asked him to go to the private room.
On the way to the box, Shi Nancheng roughly told Mu Feng what happened just now.
Mu Feng frowned between his brows after hearing this.
After entering the box, the two sides met and greeted each other. Liang Zhangkun's expression was really strange.
"Boss Shi?" Liang Zhangkun looked at Shi Nancheng, "Boss Shi, are you kidding me?"
"Who's joking with you?" Shi Nancheng looked at him indifferently.
"In the huge Zhonghua Building, you actually told me that this guy is the chief chef, do you think I am too old and confused?" Liang Zhangkun smiled disdainfully.
I see you are quite confused...
Shi Nancheng thought to himself, but on the surface he remained calm: "Do I have to lie to you? Yes, yes, no, no. What's the benefit of me lying to you?"
"Forget it, even if he is really the chef of Zhonghualou, so what? Your Zhonghualou is famous for its handmade dishes, so there is still a difference from this fried belly.
Even if he is good at cooking handmade dishes, it doesn't mean that his belly-exploding skills are also good.What evidence do you have that Lizhi's craft was taught by him? " Liang Zhangkun said.
"It's simple, you'll know if you don't compare it." Mu Feng took over the conversation.
"Compare?" Liang Zhangkun frowned slightly, looking at Mu Feng.
"Actually, no matter how much you say, it's useless. You just think that Lizhi's craftsmanship is a steal from the Liang family's ancestral craftsmanship, so as long as I can prove that I taught her craftsmanship, wouldn't it be fine?" Mu Mu Feng spread his hands and said with a smile.
Now that he has recognized this apprentice, Mu Feng naturally wants to stand up for him!
"Joke, why should I compare with you? This is our own family business, what are you doing?" Liang Zhangkun said with a sneer.
"Because I am her master, if my skill is better than yours, she can learn from me. There is no need to learn your skill secretly, is there?" Mu Feng said.
Liang Zhangkun was silent for a while, and said, "How do you compare?"
"It's very simple. Let's each show our skills and see who can cook delicious belly." Mu Feng said.
"What if you lose, and what if you win?" Liang Zhangkun looked at him coldly.
"If I win, then Lizhi's fried belly restaurant will continue to open, and you can't interfere in the future." Mu Feng said.
"Overestimating one's abilities!" Before Liang Zhangkun expressed his opinion, Liang Junkai interjected first.
Everyone looked at him.
"My dad's craftsmanship was praised by the mayor himself. Besides, I don't know how many leaders of Fengze City have eaten fried belly in our shop. Do you compare with my dad? Heh~" Liang Junkai looked at Mu Feng disdainfully.
This time, Liang Zhangkun did not stop his son from speaking.
On the contrary, when his son mentioned that the mayor praised his belly, there was a certain smug look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Shi Nancheng immediately took out his mobile phone to check.
After checking, hey, it really is!
This Liang's explosive belly was really praised by the mayor of Fengze two years ago!
However, the report was published by Fengze Daily, and except for the elderly, almost no one read it.
After checking again, there are quite a lot of information about Liang's belly explosion, and most of them are praises.
Well, apart from the fact that some people commented that Liang's belly-popping level has dropped significantly in the past half a year or so, the previous comments were almost all one-sided praises.
Pass the phone to Mu Feng.
Mu Feng glanced at it, then nodded secretly, thinking that to win the favor of the mayor, the workmanship should be the best.
But, so what, popping belly is nothing more than the method of water blasting. These days, he has already been familiar with various methods of popping vegetables.
Not to mention a mere water blast method.
"What, compare? Or, you agree not to prevent Lizhi from opening a store? If that's the case, that's the best." Mu Feng said.
"Lizhi, is he really your master? Did he really teach you your craft?" Liang Zhangkun looked at Liang Lizhi.
"Yes!" Liang Lizhi nodded heavily.
"Well, he said that if he wins, your store can continue to operate. But what if he loses?" Liang Zhangkun asked.
"Then I'll close the shop!" Liang Lizhi said firmly.
"Okay, then let's make a deal. If he loses, then you will close the store." Liang Zhangkun said, paused, and his tone became a little relieved, "Of course, Dad still said that, when the time comes As long as you don't open a belly shop, I don't care about anything else."
Liang Lizhi nodded.
"Then let's compare!" Liang Zhangkun looked at Mu Feng.
"Then do you think other guests are needed to do the judging, or can we just close the door and do it ourselves?" Mu Feng asked.
"Of course, let the guests judge!" Liang Junkai said.
"Shut up!" Liang Zhangkun glared at him.
"..." Liang Junkai looked confused, why are you scolding me again?
"Let's do it ourselves!" Liang Zhangkun said.
He also has his own plans, let's not say whether the other party is the chef of Zhonghua Building or not.Even if the other party is really the chef of Zhonghualou, Zhonghualou is famous for its handmade dishes after all.
Even if the opponent loses in a belly burst, the impact on Zhonghualou will not be too great.
However, he is famous for making belly busters, if he loses in the public competition, it will definitely affect the business of the store!
After hearing Liang Zhangkun's choice, Mu Feng shrugged and readily agreed.
In fact, if the opponent really wanted to compete publicly, he would be a bit embarrassed.It's not that he is afraid of losing, he is very confident in his own strength.
What he was afraid of was that after he won, those diners would know that Zhonghua Restaurant sells fried belly.At that time, maybe it will cause another upsurge of eating belly.
He had just settled the fat intestines matter, and he didn't want Zhonghua Building to go astray again.
What's more, when two people have reached a certain level in making belly-popping skills, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish which is tastier.
Ordinary people can only taste the crunchiness when they eat fried belly, and only a few people who really know how to eat can taste the taste.
He thought, after all, Liang Zhangkun is a belly shop that has been in business for decades, so he won't be shameless and shameless talking nonsense.
As long as the fried belly he made is better than Liang Zhangkun's, he believes that even if Liang Zhangkun feels uncomfortable, he will not say that it is not delicious against his conscience.
Even if Liang Zhangkun really wanted to play tricks, for Zhonghualou's sake, he had to weigh it.
No matter how famous Liang's Baodu is, compared with Zhonghualou, it is just a small shop.
If Zhonghualou is unreasonable, that's another matter.
But if the reason is on Zhonghualou's side, then Liang Zhangkun can only keep his promise honestly.
----
After the two parties agreed, they asked people to prepare the ingredients.
Because Zhonghualou did not have the corresponding ingredients, Liang Zhangkun suggested to get them from his shop.
After Mu Feng agreed, Shi Nancheng sent someone to follow Liang Junkai to Liang's Baodu to fetch two sets of beef tripe and two sets of sheep tripe.
When the tripe and sheep tripe were brought, a set of cooking utensils prepared by Shi Nancheng had just been delivered to the box.
"Water belly is only suitable for lamb belly and beef louver, and we will compare these eleven types today." Liang Zhangkun said.
Mu Feng nodded.
Then, the two parties stood in front of the chopping board and began to prepare the ingredients.
There are 9 kinds of sheep tripe, which are sheep tripe pill, sheep tripe collar, sheep tripe plate, sheep tripe core, sheep tripe kernel, sheep mushroom, sheep mushroom head, sheep food letter, and sheep gourd.
There are 4 kinds of beef tripe, beef louver, beef louver tip, beef tripe kernel, and beef thick head.
Mu Feng's saber skills were excellent, and he quickly divided the sheep tripe and tripe into corresponding parts.
Liang Zhangkun nodded secretly when he saw Mu Feng's knife skills. With this knife skill alone, even if he is not the chief chef, his cooking skills will definitely not be inferior.
The water in the pot was already boiling, so Mu Feng decided to add the lamb tripe kernels first.
The highest state of eating fried tripe is to eat tripe kernels, which are made by peeling the belly collar.
Lamb tripe kernels can be regarded as the best in fried tripe, and they were regarded as precious things in the old society. It is said that it takes several tripe to make such a plate.
In the old society, generally people with at least a little bit of family background would eat sheep tripe kernels, which is probably equivalent to today's middle class.
Ordinary people mostly eat loose pills or Baiye.
The heat of the lamb tripe kernels is very particular, because the belly kernels are too tender, so after a little heat, they will get old and cannot be eaten.
Mu Feng fried the goat belly kernels in the pan, and then asked someone to bring them to Liang Zhangkun to taste.
Liang Zhangkun also gave Mu Feng the lamb belly kernels he had exploded for a try.
Liang Zhangkun put a piece of Mu Fengbao's lamb belly kernels into his mouth, chewed it, it was fresh and tender, and it broke when he bit it, full of crispness.
There are really so many hits.
Liang Zhangkun secretly thought.
Mu Feng also tasted Liang Zhangkun's fried belly.
As expected of a decades-old master craftsman, this skill is extraordinary, no less than his own!
Then, Mu Feng started to make sheep mushroom tips.
The mushroom tip is also a rare thing, sheep mushroom is only a small part of the goat belly, and the mushroom tip is the essence of that small part.
This thing is the same as lamb tripe kernels, if you want to make a plate, you have to use several lamb tripe.
Of course, gold is no longer expensive now. Now that the output is large and under large-scale farming, the supply of sheep tripe is sufficient. As long as you spend a little money, you can eat as much as you want, whether it is sheep tripe kernels or sheep mushroom tips.
After Mu Feng popped the sheep mushroom tips, he changed with Liang Zhangkun, and each tasted the other's handicraft.
This fried belly was supposed to be delicious when dipped in sauce, but this time it was for the sake of skill competition, so I just ate it directly and judged by the taste.
As the competition progressed, every time Liang Zhangkun tasted Mu Feng's fried belly, his expression became gloomy.
Finally, after tasting nine kinds of lamb belly, Liang Zhangkun waved his hand: "Okay, there's no need to compare."
"What do you mean?" Mu Feng looked at the other party suspiciously.
To be honest, Liang Zhangkun's craftsmanship is really good. After all, he has been making belly pops for more than 30 years, and his skills have been deeply rooted in his bones.
However, Mu Feng asked himself that even if he was not better than the other party, he would definitely not be worse, at least he could be a tie.
Therefore, he was a little confused by Liang Zhangkun's sudden interruption of the game.
"Lizhi, you can continue to open your fried belly restaurant, and I won't say anything in the future." Liang Zhangkun said.
"Really?" Liang Lizhi was overjoyed, and after a while, she asked, "Then... Dad, my marriage with Awei?"
"I agree, that's fine, that's it! There's still something to do in the store, so I'm leaving first." Liang Zhangkun said.
"Dad, why don't you compare?" Liang Junkai almost jumped up.
"Shut up and go back with me!" Liang Zhangkun shouted.
Then, he quickly left the Zhonghua Building with his son.
Through the competition just now, Liang Zhangkun already knew Mu Feng's strength.
Mu Feng's skill is almost on par with his, and even one or two belly explosions are better controlled than him.
In this way, it is meaningless to compare.
Since his daughter didn't learn her skills secretly, he has no reason to stop her.
Therefore, he interrupted the game early and led his son home.
If he stayed in Zhonghua Building again, he just felt that he was about to lose his face, and it was better to leave as soon as possible.
----
"Okay, the matter is settled, sister Zhi, you can continue to open your belly shop in the future." Shi Nancheng said with a smile.
Liang Lizhi smiled reluctantly, but there was still sadness between her brows and eyes.
Liu Shanwei's mother saw what was on her mind and came to her to comfort her.
"Lizhi, it's a good thing that your father agreed to your marriage with Ah Wei and let you continue to open the shop! Be happy and don't think too much." Liu Shanwei's mother said with a smile.
"Auntie, I'm really sorry to let you see such a shameful thing..." Liang Lizhi felt very complicated and depressed.
"Let's not talk about that, in the future, when you marry into our family, your uncle and I will treat you as our own daughter. Your uncle and I have always wanted to have a daughter.
It's a pity that only two sons were born, and Ah Wei's brother is still working outside, and he doesn't come back several times a year.Well now, when you marry into our family, our family will be lively. "Liu Shanwei's mother said with a smile.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Liang Lizhi said.
"We are all a family, why do you say that?" Liu Shanwei's mother said with a smile.
"That's right, we're all family, haha." Liu Shanwei leaned over.
"Go away, don't hinder our mother and daughter's chat." Liu Shanwei's mother said.
"This is mother and daughter?" Liu Shanwei joked.
"No way?" Liu Shanwei's mother glared at him.
......
Seeing Liang Lizhi's family happy and harmonious, Shi Nancheng and Mu Feng felt inexplicably at ease.
"Uncles and aunts, please sit down for a while. I'll cook, and I'll have something to eat right away." Mu Feng said.
"Master, thank you!" Liang Lizhi said.
Mu Feng smiled and waved his hands: "It's a small matter, that's fine, I'm going to cook."
Then, she pulled Shi Nancheng out of the box together.
