Chapter 607 A Blessing in Disguise
When the police officer went in to search, Luo Quan followed behind and also asked the photography team to follow him.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others.
If these policemen came here to frame the case, the surveillance cameras on top of the kitchen and the photographers following the entire process would at least make it difficult for them to do so.
If you just come here for a routine check-up, then this can be included in the variety show.
"Officer, this is a serious restaurant, and there are absolutely no contraband." Luo Quan explained as he followed Chief Dirk.
Seeing several drug-detecting dogs entering the kitchen, she thought that she might not be able to do business today.
Sheriff Dirk said with a cold face: "There are complaints from diners, saying that after eating the food in your restaurant, they couldn't sleep after going back and had a strong desire to eat it again. I suspect that your restaurant added it to the food to make it addictive. of drugs, so he reported it to the police.
After we asked some other diners, we found that they were in a similar state and wanted to eat after eating, so we felt something was fishy and came over to check. "
After hearing the explanation, Luo Quan was speechless. Even if the food was delicious, he would encounter such an unreasonable disaster.
"Boss, there's something going on here!" a police officer responsible for managing drug detection dogs suddenly shouted.
A drug-detecting dog at his feet suddenly stood up, lying on the counter and shouting at a dinner plate, acting very excited.
According to experience, this is a problem with the drug detection dog inspection, indicating that there is a high probability that there is contraband inside.
Sheriff Dirk stepped forward and pressed the lid on it. He turned to ask Luo Quan: "What has been installed in these years?!"
"Prepare the dishes for the guests at table 3." Luo Quan looked innocent.
Sheriff Dirk opened the lid, and a strange aroma hit his face. There were nine brown-red meat balls inside. The bright red viscous soup poured around the meat balls, making people swallow their mouths.
At the same time, the drug-detection dog next to Sheriff Decker suddenly jumped up, took a meat ball and ran away.
After eating two or three mouthfuls, he ran to Luo Quan's feet, rubbed her ankles with his head, then squatted down again, exhaled and barked twice, and swung his tail from side to side like a broom, looking very happy.
"This is the braised lion's head I made. It seems to be so fragrant that this dog wants to eat it too." Luo Quan touched the head of the drug detection dog, and the latter let out a submissive whine. Whining.
It is said that drug detection dogs are very smart and very understanding of human nature, and now it seems that is really the case.
But the plate of braised lion's head worth $150 was ruined.
"Boss, we have checked. They are all normal spices. There is nothing suspicious. Do you need to take samples and take them back for testing?" At this time, the subordinates came over and said to Sheriff Decker.
Chief Decker was also a little embarrassed at this time. He didn't find anything and didn't say anything. He also ruined someone's food. Although the police station reimbursed him, he still felt sorry for his face after all.
Speaking of which, he is also a fan of Luo Quan, but as a policeman, he can still separate public and private matters, so he always keeps a straight face when performing official duties.
But now that his innocence has been proven, it would be outrageous to ask for an autograph again.
After hesitating for a while, Chief Dirk sighed and waved his hand: "Close the team!"
The police came and left quickly. After Luo Quan poured out the braised lion head that had been touched by the dog, he quickly made another plate.
However, after Cindy took it out, she realized that the guest at table 3 had already refunded the money and left.
Not only him, most of the customers in the restaurant who were dining and waiting for their food had left. Only a fat old man with red skin and fair skin was still eating Dongpo pork elbow and Dongpo meat.
When the guests saw such a large formation of policemen, they were afraid that there would be a fight in the kitchen later, so they left in a hurry.
After all, all the fans have been here since its opening. Those who can continue to dine here are rich people. Such people usually care about their lives. When encountering this kind of situation, they will naturally stay as far away as possible.
And that fat uncle is a Texas redneck, and he came to New York this time to hold a march to protest against a certain Texas bill that favored black people.
The main reason why we did not protest in Texas is that New York is prosperous and has many media outlets, so our voices can gain greater attention.
However, the leader who organized the parade said that there were temporary changes in plans and canceled the parade.
The uncle wandered around the street, then entered Luo Quan's shop and ordered two hard dishes.
"If these policemen are in our Texas and dare to come and search without evidence, the guarantee to greet them is Remington and Revolver!" After listening to Luo Quan's explanation of the whole story, the uncle gave some pointers very domineeringly.
Luo Quan smiled and let the clerk eat the plate of braised lion heads.
After all, it took a lot of effort to sit out, so it can’t be wasted no matter what.
In addition, Luo Quan was also glad that he didn't come to make a surprise inspection when she was doing Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. If the dog took a sip of the soup, she would really vomit blood.
After entertaining Uncle Texas, Luo Quan settled the wages of his employees and simply turned off the power and went home.
At the same time, the news that "Luoquan Restaurant was subject to zero drug inspection" became a hot search topic.
First of all, such a title simply shocked fans and the public.
Even if they were killed, they would never have imagined that Luo Quan would be associated with such a thing.
But when I clicked in and looked at the content, I realized it was a false alarm and the police didn't check anything.
The cause of the incident was simply that some diners were thinking about it after finishing their meal and thought they had been drugged, so they had such an extreme reaction.
This makes people laugh a bit.
But when I turned around and thought about it, Luo Quan's cooking skills were really amazing. The dishes he made could actually achieve such effects. The nickname "Chinese God of Cooking" was really not justified.
It was originally an innocent disaster, but it became a proof of cooking skills under the publicity of the media. Luo Quan was also a blessing in disguise.
Not many people online expressed their desire to experience in person how delicious her cooking was, but they found out that the store was closed, which disappointed everyone.
Luo Quan quickly posted:
"Cooking food well is a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing. I usually only cook for friends and relatives, and the times are not frequent. I opened the store mainly for variety shows. Now that the filming of the variety show is coming to an end, I will cook for everyone. It's coming to an end.
Luoquan Restaurant will remain open, but it will be converted into a Western restaurant.
In a few days, I will hire some Michelin chefs to come up with a special Western steak Wellington as the signature dish of this restaurant.
If you are interested, you can also try it. The price will definitely not be as outrageous as before. "
As soon as this news came out, fans didn't react much and just told her to have a good rest.
However, many customers who had eaten her food were extremely upset. They only knew that Luoquan would not be open for a long time. Who knew that it would end so soon.
What's even worse is that they don't know when they will open next time.
"Luo Quan, how can I live without your stir-fried twice-cooked pork? (Crying)"
“I just found out I was addicted and you told me to stop?”
"Just thinking about not being able to eat your food in the future will give me an unbearable withdrawal reaction."
"I'm already foaming at the mouth."
………………
The comments section was filled with howls, as the diners prepared to use their own misery to soften Luo Quan's heart and make her stay.
However, things that Luo Quan has decided will rarely change.
What's more, she still has a lot of serious things to do in the future, and it's definitely not okay to spend time in the restaurant all the time.
"Three days later in the morning, the restaurant will make a free can of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for everyone to taste. The quantity is limited, first come, first served."
This is not because Luo Quan is soft-hearted. The main reason is that the last episode of the variety show was indeed planned to shoot the Buddha and jump over the wall. It was originally meant to be done.
But in the eyes of fans and diners, this was Luo Quan's last tenderness to them, and they were truly moved.
In addition to them, major media in New York have also begun to focus on this Buddha Jumping over the Wall, which is known as the best in the world.
It costs five million U.S. dollars to do it once. Even in New York, where rich people live everywhere and rich people are not like dogs, no one has tasted the taste of Buddha jumping over the wall.
If this were to be told in a martial arts novel, a tasting meeting of heroes would be held three days later, inviting heroes from all over the world to taste this divine delicacy.
But the real world definitely doesn't have so many names, but Luo Quan doesn't need to post any hero posts, because media reporters and Internet celebrities will come uninvited.
Although Luo Quan rarely does marketing, her current traffic and every move have a very strong marketing effect.
After the news of "Buddha jumps over the wall and eats for free" was posted, it immediately took over Twitter. Many celebrities said that they would come back to try the magic of this dish.
Judging from the posture, Luoquan Restaurant Xingwei three days later will probably be comparable to the Oscar ceremony scene.
Just to enjoy the heat, everyone is going to come over and come over. Luo Quan will not refuse, but he is worried that there may not be enough bowls by then.
As for the big jar where the Buddha jumped over the wall, it was an enlarged version of the magical copper artifact she exchanged in the mall. One jar can hold up to the previous three jars. The mouth of the jar is 1.5 meters above the ground. Its dead weight alone weighs more than 40 kilograms. The volume ratio The three kimchi jars in my hometown got bigger when they were tired, and they had to build a ladder when ladling out the soup.
Fortunately, Luo Quan had the foresight to order the largest size when customizing the stove, otherwise such a big jar would not be able to fit.
As for the cooking steps, there is not much difference from before. It is just that the food is larger and more ingredients are used. The heating area and heat are controlled well, and the taste is the same.
Luo Quan has made this dish twice.
Every time she finished doing it, it would "severely weaken her vitality", but her health was not as good as it is now, so she would be very tired after doing it.
She is much stronger now than she was a year ago, so staying up late is not a problem.
In addition, the flame on the stove is stable and does not require her to keep an eye on it all the time, so sleep can still be guaranteed.
Three days passed quickly, and by the early morning of the appointment, the outside of Luoquan Restaurant was already crowded.
The New York Police Department knew in advance that this would happen and sent a large number of police officers to stand guard in order to maintain order.
The media reporters were the first to arrive, and the fans were not as active as them.
Luo Quan, who has completed the production, was interviewed in front of the store:
"Buddha jumps over the wall has been cooked. It will be ready to be served for everyone to taste in a moment."
"Luo Quan, is your Buddha Jumping Over the Wall a unique dish? What's special about it?" a reporter asked a question about this dish.
Luo Quan explained: "It's not a unique craft, everyone can make it. I've posted the recipe on Twitter, and I don't use rare ingredients like caviar, foie gras, or truffles. You can basically collect it all for 2,000 yuan." together."
"There will definitely be a difference in taste, right?"
"Then you have to figure it out for yourself." Luo Quan laughed and said that he could tell you the ingredients and methods, but she couldn't help with this cooking skill.
During the conversation, three strong cooks came out carrying a huge jar, which contained Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. The jar itself plus food weighed nearly two hundred kilograms. Although Zhou Zirong and the three were strong, they were also very careful. .
What’s inside is the best dish in the world worth five million US dollars. If it spills out, it’s equivalent to a week’s salary for them.
"Everyone, let's not talk anymore. Just enjoy my cooking skills and think about how to praise me." Luo Quan smiled and said something that sounded very crazy.
However, Americans still stick to this and think Luo Quan has quite a personality.
If Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is really delicious, they have no reason to smear it, they will definitely boast about it.
The jar was placed at the cashier. Luo Quan walked up the small ladder and lifted the lid.
The heat that rushed out made her intoxicated. The taste of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall cooked with the magic copper sacred vessel was different.
Moreover, its cooking skills are now much better than before, and the taste is probably even better. I hope that after finishing this meal, those diners will not have a withdrawal reaction.
With a wicked smile, Luo Quan first scooped out two pieces of sea cucumber and one spoonful of soup with a short spoon. This is the standard specification for everyone. It is the same for everyone, neither more nor less.
The latest people to taste it were the reporters who had been waiting outside the store.
Even before the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was brought over, they had already smelled a smell that made their feet almost float off their bases.
That was not the smell of food, it was God pulling their souls.
After taking the bowl, they took a shuddering sip of the hot soup.
Then, the muscles under the tailbone tightened instantly, and the entire back spine began to twitch under the impact of a huge sense of satisfaction.
They had no idea that drinking soup could make people feel so good.
Now they finally understood why the police came back to search Luo Quan's shop. Who would believe it if they made such a dish and said that nothing else was put in it?
"It's a pity, there are too few." A reporter finished all the work in one go and said with unfinished content.
He looked longingly into the store and said in an almost begging tone: "Can I have another bowl, just one bowl?"
"Sorry, there are many guests who want to taste it today, and each person is limited to one portion." Luo Quan shook his head.
This angelic and beautiful face suddenly turned into a demon in the eyes of the reporter: "God, save me!"
