"Your jade pendant?"

When the little girl heard this, she immediately took back the jade pendant she was holding and held it in her arms, and her eyes guarded her grandfather like a thief.

"This is what Grandpa Xu gave me, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Yu Peiyong smiled helplessly, this girl is really turning her elbow out.

Idle, he told Yu Keke about the origin of this jade pendant.

This jade pendant was given by Lafayette when Yu Peiyong's grandfather was the imperial chef, because the dishes he made were delicious.

When he was dying, he gave the jade pendant to the young Yu Peiyong.

Since then, Yu Peiyong has been wearing it on his body, using his grandfather as an imperial chef to motivate himself.

Later, he became the chef of the state banquet and met Xu Jimin, who was also the chef of the state banquet.

One of the two is responsible for Huaiyang cuisine, and the other is responsible for Lu cuisine.

In addition to working together, the two families also live in the same courtyard and have a very close relationship.

Xu Jimin's talent in cooking made Yu Peiyong very envious.

And Yu Peiyong's efforts to study cooking skills also infected Xu Jimin.

"What? Grandpa Xu's talent is higher than yours?"

When the little girl heard this, she was a little strange.

According to Xu Jimin's usual words and deeds, it is easy to know that Yu Peiyong's cooking skills are one line higher than him.

How is it that in Pei Yong's mouth, the two are actually equal, and even in terms of talent, Xu Jimin still crushes him?

"His talent is indeed very high, a lot of dishes, he can do well after reading it, and even according to his father's diary, he has restored a lot of Lu dishes, this kind of talent is unique. ”

"What about you?"

"I have average talent, if it weren't for this jade pendant to inspire me, I guess I would have given up doing this business when I became an apprentice. ”

The two of them were simply the perfect combination for the state banquet.

A person with high talent, personality like fire, cooking and doing things are flamboyant and full of vitality.

A person who is willing to endure hardships, has a personality like water, is not arrogant or impatient at any time, and is calm and introverted.

In those years, all the foreign guests who had tasted the craftsmanship of the two were full of praise.

Think you've tasted the best food in the world.

However, compared with the heavy oil and salt, and cumbersome Lu cuisine, Yu Peiyong's Huaiyang cuisine is more popular with foreigners.

Because Huaiyang cuisine pursues the original taste of food, and the knife work is exquisite, but it does not lose the original taste of food, and the ingredients are also relatively common types, which foreigners especially like.

But Xu Jimin didn't take it seriously.

Foreigners, I don't know Chinese food, I just have a lively meal.

Chinese people can like it.

In the back kitchen, he still looks like a big grin.

But other chefs have changed from praising Lu cuisine to praising Huaiyang cuisine.

Huaiyang cuisine is popular with foreigners, and it will definitely focus more on Huaiyang cuisine in the future, so Duoba stammers with Peiyong and asks for a better errand in the future.

People who are keen on drilling camps are all stammering with Peiyong, no longer practicing basic skills, and they don't care about cooking, they will only brush their sense of existence in front of Peiyong every day.

But at that time, Yu Peiyong was dedicated to studying cooking and did not pay much attention to this aspect.

For those who are passive and slack off or do not work seriously, they can also be reprimanded at most two sentences, and then continue to study cooking.

Some dishes that are not done well, he will re-cook.

Anyway, if you want to practice your cooking skills, it's okay to help them cook.

So the people in the kitchen are becoming more and more presumptuous, and Yu Peiyong is cooking more and more.

Even in the end, he not only made Huaiyang cuisine, but also Lu cuisine.

Xu Jimin actually knows these changes in the kitchen.

It's just that he doesn't like to manage others, as long as it doesn't hinder his work, he will turn a blind eye.

But when kneeling and licking Yu Peiyong became a trend, but Yu Peiyong didn't stop it, he couldn't see it.

Everyone is here to make a living, and it's right for you to please your superiors.

But day after day, he didn't do anything, so he hollowed out his mind and played tricks, smeared each other and squeezed each other.

What kind of chef is this?

He told Yu Peiyong a few times and asked Yu Peiyong to take care of those people.

But Yu Peiyong, who was addicted to cooking, didn't take it seriously at all, because he was always thinking about improving his cooking skills at that time, and he was even a little crazy.

When you are tired, or when you are bored, take out that jade pendant.

This was given to Grandpa by Lafayette, and he himself had to reach this level.

"Don't look at that broken jade pendant every day, the Qing Dynasty is gone, and you are still thinking about entering the palace as an imperial chef?"

Every time he took the jade pendant and pondered, Xu Jimin would run over and make trouble.

"I have to work hard to practice my cooking skills, otherwise I won't have the face to wear this jade pendant. ”

Yu Peiyong has firm beliefs, and this jade pendant has almost become his spiritual sustenance.

It is the motivation that constantly spurs him to work hard to study his culinary skills.

But it didn't take long for his jade pendant to be found.

"Without Yu Pei, can't you cook well?" Yu Peiyong rummaged around, and asked Xu Jimin to help him find it, but he changed back to such a sentence.

The relationship between the two has cooled.

Yu Peiyong began to pay attention to management and had new friends.

And Xu Jimin still looks like he is dragging and dragging, except for nothing to study Lu cuisine, or to point out the few Lu cuisine masters in the back kitchen, he doesn't participate in anything else.

But soon, the document for the re-customization of the recipe for the state banquet came down.

In order to make the dishes of his cuisine on the list, the back kitchen quarreled, and even Xu Jimin was involved.

Because the chefs of other cuisines agree that Lu cuisine is not suitable as a state banquet dish.

Xu Jimin, who was originally indisputable, scolded those chefs in the back kitchen, and even almost got into a fight.

And Yu Peiyong stood aside and never said a word of justice from beginning to end.

"Grandpa, you're not a thing. When the little girl heard this, her face was full of grievances.

For a person of Xu Jimin's character, being targeted like this, he must have hoped that Yu Peiyong would help him.

But Yu Peiyong's behavior made the little girl a little angry.

Yu Peiyong didn't object, and nodded: "Indeed, I was too naïve at that time, and I was sorry for him." ”

The little girl was just about to say a few more words, when a question suddenly came to mind.

If that's the case, the two shouldn't be angry until now.

Yu Peiyong just ran over and apologized, but didn't he communicate for more than 40 years?

"Grandpa, you two didn't get along with each other for a long time, did you?"

"Yes, it was an incident that happened later that made our relationship completely dead. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Vote for the dishes. ”

"What?

The recipe of the state banquet was finally determined to be based on Huaiyang cuisine, supplemented by other cuisines.

Although Xu Jimin was indignant, he was helpless.

Once the tone of the recipe is set, the final list is voted on.

The dishes that entered the pre-selection were all selected through layers of fine products, but there were not so many dishes at a state banquet, so the back kitchen conducted a vote to determine the final selection list.

However, it was this vote that made the two completely part ways and never get along.
