Chapter 69 Unpleasant and Strange Fragrance
Two old men came in outside the door, one with a long neck and a slightly hunched back. Everyone seemed to be looking at a plate of dishes, thinking about where to get chopsticks from; the other was 1.8 meters tall, with a large skeleton, a face with a national character, and a blushing face, but both hands were very delicate, just like the hands of a pianist, with a fine skin and tender flesh in maintenance, and there was no trace of calluses at the back of the palms.
A true chef of the kitchen is about holding a pot full and holding a knife as if it is empty. When cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife, the palm of your hand should be empty and you can stuff an egg into it before you can see the skill. Even if you are in the kitchen for the rest of your life, you will not see hard calluses on your hands. This is called everyone.
"Why did Lu Zhiwei get along with the one named Huang?"
When Yi Zhiyu saw Huang Mingju and Lu Zhiwei, the two old men also saw him. Lu Zhiwei was slightly stunned and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this Lao Yi? Why are you here too?"
He and Yi Zhiyu are old friends, and they have no grudges between each other, but Huang Mingju is standing beside him, which really makes him feel a little embarrassed.
Who doesn’t know that these two guys who are familiar with the diligent old man in China knows that these two are famous for different ice and charcoal furnaces, so they have to pinch them when they meet?
Yi Zhiyu snorted coldly: "Why, even a stick of the surname Huang can come, so I can't come?"
Old Lu, you are one of the two Lucai masters, the head of the Jiaodong Gang. Now why are you getting back and forth and dating anyone? Don’t say you are my friend in the future, I can’t afford to lose this person!”
"Haha, am I a bastard? No matter how good I am, Huang Mingju, cannot compare to some people.
Lao Lu, you are afraid that someone is not aware of it. He was known as "Bai Zhuyi" back then. As a food appraiser at XX Sea, he looked straight and looked straight every day with a straight face. As a result, he was forced to cook on the Bai Zhuyi!
Lao Lu, don’t look at me with such eyes. You are not in the Kyoto circle, so you are naturally not sure, but I was in Kyoto back then, but I saw it with my own eyes.
Someone said in a cow that he made the best braised mandarin, but he even gave it to the head to eat. But he really ate it, but shook his head and said that he was not authentic enough and was not as good as Mr. Cheng, who is the "small intestine"."
Lu Zhiweiqi said, "So what? Everyone knows that Lao Yi's strength is not about this kind of snack, and it's not a loss of face occasionally, right?" He was not singing with Huang Mingju, but was really curious.
"It's nothing, but someone thinks he is the supreme diligent person. How can he admit that he loses? He actually ran to challenge Mr. Cheng. He didn't think too much about it. No matter how capable you are, you can't stand the braised cook for the rest of your life? He lost so miserably..."
"Old Huang, this is wrong. Who dares to say that we are the best in the world in our industry? China has four major cuisines and eight major cuisines. If some local small cuisines are added, there will be hundreds of them, let alone snacks from various places.
Just say that we old antiques have a deep skill, we dare not say that we can win more than any other dish. It is normal for Lao Yi to lose, so why should you sarcastically?”
"Haha, Lao Lu, you are right. Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs, and this is nothing.
But from then on, someone became obsessed with braised and boiled fire, and had to take Mr. Cheng as his teacher, but they just refused to accept him.
As a result, what did he do? He went to eat braised and cooked every day, and at the craziest time he had three meals a day! Unfortunately, he was confiscated until Mr. Cheng went there.
Haha, from then on, someone never ate braised and cooked again. He insisted that this delicious food was not flowing enough and was still belittled everywhere. Do you think this is because of love?
The couple broke up because they had sex because they loved each other. But he was so happy. He was so happy because they loved each other... Oh, I can't say it, I just want to laugh when I talk about it. It's so ridiculous."
Huang Mingju and Lu Zhiwei were asked to sit at the table by the young lady Yingbin and kept talking, laughing while talking, his face full of sarcasm. Yi Zhiyu was extremely embarrassed and slapped the table hard: "My surname is Huang, are you done?"
"It's not over, what can you do?"
"you!"
The fat man in the breakfast kitchen looked outside and said nervously: "Boss, the three old men outside seem to be fighting. You said they are all so old, why is this?"
"It's still necessary to ask why the old man can fight, of course it's for the old lady."
"It's a sharp attack, the boss is amazing..."
The fat man decided not to speak sarcastically. The boss didn't speak easily, and he could choke to death if he spoke. This was a dissatisfaction with his unwillingness to work.
Zhou Dong was actually not dissatisfied, but was deliberately trying to spur the fat man.
Women teach men to be responsible. Since they met the beautiful little girl, the fat man has become much more motivated than before. He is no longer satisfied with relying on Zhou Dong's halo to eat and drink in the kitchen, so this time he took the initiative to ask for the fire and fried tofu.
Zhou Dong was naturally happy to see his friend's progress. However, the fat man's lazy personality is difficult to change completely in a short period of time, and he still needs to encourage him from time to time.
After being criticized by Zhou Dong, the fat man became more attentive. Zhou Dong nodded with satisfaction and turned to check the braised dishes in the old pot. The lid of the pot was opened, and a strange fragrance suddenly rose into the air and quickly filled the entire breakfast room.
The scene at Sanchakou was not staged in the breakfast room after all, and the arrival of Gu Yanan and Lu Luxin stopped this "70s farce".
Lu Luxin held down Mr. Huang, while Gu Yanan was in a complicated mood and joined forces with Lu Zhiwei to persuade Yi Zhiyu.
In fact, how old are you, can you really fight? Yi Zhiyu was stubborn at first, but when he saw Lin Qing appearing in the breakfast room with a small bag, he stopped.
The older generation can just close the door and curse each other, but they must hold it in front of the younger generation.
Long Potian saw it clearly. This old neighbor is not a good person, and he is also an old naughty boy with a certain status. He can't afford to offend him. He hurriedly said, "Old sir, it turns out that this lady knows you too? Haha, they are all acquaintances.
By the way, I still want to eat Master Xiao Zhou’s new braised cooked product. Since you have a companion, the previous agreement will be invalid. Waiter, give me a braised cooked product!”
Lin Qing whispered: "Grandpa Yi..."
"Don't beg me, I will never allow you to order such things unless you no longer recognize me, Grandpa Yi, from now on...well?"
Yi Zhiyu's nose quickly thrust a few times, and his eyes were instantly confused.
Why is this taste so familiar...
It's definitely not wrong! It's this taste that reminds him of the time when he was crazy about braised and boiled firewood in Kyoto.
‘I will never regret my clothes getting looser and I will become haggard for her’. At that time, he was simply crazy.
It is this kind of fragrance, called Qixiang.
In this world, there are flowers, wine, women, meat, fish, thirteen fragrances, what is strange fragrances?
‘Turn bad things into good things, and turn bad things into taste’ is a strange fragrance.
Some strange fragrances need to be adapted slowly by people. For example, durian, some people smell it, some people praise it, and people think that if people are willing to try it, they will gradually find that this thing is quite good and really fragrant!
The same is true for stinky tofu, and the same is true for the Empress Xiang Concubine, which Emperor Qianlong was obsessed with. In fact, it is a kind of "strange fragrance" composed of a slight body odor and a woman's body fragrance. If you can adapt, you will be shocked. If you can't adapt, you will be like a stinky dog shit.
But Yizhiyu knew that there was a powerful chef in this world who could directly convert ingredients with strange smells into fragrances that could be accepted by the general public through precise control of ingredients and various spices. Once accepted, it would be an irreplaceable "strange fragrance"!
It is also a braised cooking shop. The average braised cooking shop can only accept people who love to eat pigs. But Mr. Cheng had the ability to make many people who don’t love to get into the water, especially those who cannot accept pig intestines are addicted to eating it!
He ignored the identity of XXhai's tasting master and wanted to join Mr. Cheng, just to get a glimpse of this method of "turning bad things into good things, turning bad taste into taste".
How long has it been since Mr. Cheng left after he went?
He didn't remember how many dim lights he had searched for, and he didn't expect that "Yiren" was Master Zhou who was criticized by him as "degenerate"...
