"Jiang Huiqin, she is your aunt, didn't your grandfather tell you?" Jiang Weiming asked rhetorically.

"No, no, I mean, I said, no. What I want to say is that my aunt's youngest son is one of the teachers who taught me at our school, and our two families only met some time ago. Jiang Feng was almost wrapped in.

"Your aunt is still alive!" Jiang Weiming was so excited that he almost got up, "How is she now? Where is she? How are you doing all these years?"

"My aunt has been dead for thirty or forty years. Jiang Feng poured a basin of cold water on Jiang Weiming, "Uncle Tai also died of stomach cancer a few days ago, and only Professor Li is left in their family, that is, Aunt Tai's youngest son and his wife." ”

"That's right. Jiang Weiming was a little disappointed, and he also felt that he was whimsical. It is already a gift from God that he can live to this age, how can he expect every relative to live as long as him, in fact, the fact that the younger brother is still alive is already the greatest comfort to him.

At least he has relatives who are related by blood in this world, except for his children.

"Before my aunt died, I asked Professor Li to transfer me a house deed. Jiang Feng said cautiously.

"Your aunt gave it to you, and you can keep it with peace of mind. Jiang Weiming didn't know why.

"It's Tai Fung House. Jiang Feng said, "My aunt gave me Taifeng Building." ”

The expression on Jiang Weiming's face instantly froze, as if time had stood still for half a time, and after a long time, he moved his lips and asked with difficulty: "...... in Beiping Tai Fung House?"

Jiang Feng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is the original Taifeng Building in Beiping." ”

"It wasn't destroyed, it wasn't demolished?" Jiang Weiming trembled, and his voice was even a little choked.

"Yes, in the 37th year of the Republic of China, my aunt went back and bought Taifeng Lou back. Over the years, my aunt has kept him and maintained it, although it is a little dilapidated, but it is exactly the same as back then. Jiang Feng said.

Jiang Weiming didn't know what mood to use to face it.

It was Taifeng Building, which was defeated from his grandfather's hands, and his father had been thinking about it all his life and never forgot it on the way to escape. It is the greatest glory of the Jiang family, and it has also been famous in Beiping, it is his father's life's work, and it is also the place where he and several brothers originally thought they would fight for all their lives.

For so many years, at first because of inconvenient transportation, and then because of old age. Since the city of Beiping was broken, he has never returned to Beiping, and he has not hoped that the Jiang family can buy back Taifeng Building.

He had thought that Tai Fung Building would be destroyed in the war, or demolished like many old buildings.

He didn't expect it, and he didn't dare to think that Taifeng Building could be preserved to this day, and it was still ......

Taifeng Building is back, and Taifeng Building belongs to the Jiang family again.

Jiang Weiming cried, there was no sound, only tears, flowing down his face full of furrows and wrinkles.

"Third Grandfather ......"

"It's okay, the third grandfather is just happy. Jiang Weiming touched his tears and looked at Jiang Feng with a smile, "Xiaofeng, you must study hard and manage Taifeng Building well, just like your grandfather back then, so that the whole Beiping, the whole country, and the whole world know about Taifeng Building, and everyone knows that this is the Jiang family's Taifeng Building." ”

He looked at Jiang Feng and said the same thing his father had said to them back then.

"Let's go, the third grandfather will cook for you to eat, don't eat Sichuan food, the third grandfather will cook Lu cuisine for you!" Jiang Weiming regained his spirits, put the kimchi back into his bag, picked up his cloth bag, and pulled Jiang Feng out of the shop.

Jiang Weiming pulled Jiang Feng and went to his apprentice's house in a hurry.

The chef industry attaches great importance to the relationship between master and apprentice, and generally does not accept apprentices easily, most of them are inherited from their father's business, and the craftsmanship of the Jiang family and the Wu family is passed down from generation to generation. Accepting an apprentice is equivalent to accepting a dry son, and apprenticeship is also equivalent to recognizing a second father, which may not be so exaggerated now, but Jiang Weiming was like this when he accepted apprentices.

His apprentice's name is Jiang Jian, and his talent is not good, and when he first accepted him, he had changed his name to Jiang Yuanchao, and it was because of his name that he was accepted. Jiang Jian is more than 30 years younger than Jiang Weiming, younger than Jiang Weiming's sons, and retired only a few years ago.

Jiang Weiming took Jiang Feng to Jiang Jian's house.

Jiang is chubby, which is very in line with Uncle Benshan's summary of the guy's big head and thick neck. Although Jiang Weiming didn't say hello in advance on a whim, Jiang Jian still respectfully invited him into the door, and said happily: "Master, why did you suddenly remember the provincial capital, who is this?"

"He is my nephew, on the first day of meeting today, I will borrow your kitchen to cook a meal for my nephew. Jiang Weiming got straight to the point.

"Congratulations, Master, the kitchen hasn't been cleaned yet, it's a little dirty, Master, you can take a sip of tea and sit down and wait. Jiang Jian shouted into the room: "Wife, wife, come out quickly, Master is here to use the kitchen, let's go clean it quickly!"

Jiang Jian's wife was as rich as him, and the two of them cleaned the kitchen with their hands and feet, and Jiang Jian also asked earnestly: "Master, what do you want to cook, chop pepper fish head? Do you want me to buy fish head now?"

"My nephew can't eat spicy food, so I make him two Lu dishes. Jiang Weiming said.

Jiang Jian was even more excited: "Okay, I'll give you a hand." ”

"I'll come too. Jiang Feng said busily, and also introduced himself to Jiang Jian by the way: "Hello Grandpa Jiang, my name is Jiang Feng." ”

"What's your name grandpa, it's all too bad, you can just call me Uncle Jiang! Xiaofeng, you usually cook?" Jiang said happily.

"My family runs a small restaurant, and I usually help out in the back kitchen. Jiang Feng said.

On the way here, Jiang Weiming introduced Jiang Feng to Jiang Jian, although he is not very talented, but he is a chef idiot, willing to endure hardships, and willing to learn anything, but because he lacks the most critical talent to be a cook, he is just a relatively good ordinary cook for the rest of his life.

In the years when Jiang Weiming taught, he could still make some progress, and he has been standing still for so many years since he left Jiang Weiming's teaching.

Now Jiang Weiming is going to cook himself, and he is as excited as the new apprentice in the back kitchen.

Jiang Jian's kitchen is basically the size of two bedrooms, which has been specially renovated by a decoration master, and the seasonings and ingredients are very complete, comparable to the back kitchen of a restaurant, and it is not like the kitchen of ordinary residents at all.

Jiang Weiming took the green beans, fungus and a few pieces of tofu that he could see, and asked Jiang to get the pork, chicken, ham, dried shrimp and dried scallops.

Looking at these ingredients, Jiang Feng somewhat guessed what Jiang Weiming wanted to do.

He's going to make a tofu box!

The steps of this dish are very cumbersome, the ingredients are very flexible, and each has its own recipe and its own flavor, and the Boshan tofu box is the most famous. Jiang Feng remembered that the old man had done it a long time ago, but only once, his father Jiang Jiankang would not do it, one reason was that the store would definitely not sell it, and the other reason was that his father did not like to eat tofu.

Jiang Wei is old next year, and the matter of washing vegetables and chopping stuffing will be handed over to Jiang Feng and Jiang Jian, and he will be responsible for the main steps.

Cut off the skin of the tofu on three sides, coat it with dry starch and put it in a hot oil pan to fry, and keep rolling the tofu until it is golden brown on all sides. Jiang Weiming was frying tofu, Jiang Feng and Jiang Jian were chopping the meat filling next to him, the meat filling was good and the tendons in the meat were not easy to pick, Jiang Jian was afraid that Jiang Feng would not pick clean and finally affect the taste, so he wanted to help, but he found that Jiang Feng's knife work was better than his own, so he changed his mouth and praised him.

"Xiaofeng knife work is good, at what age did you start learning to cook!"

"More than four years old. Jiang Feng said.

"It's early. Jiang Jian sighed, "I'm late, I just started to learn from Master after graduating from high school, and my talent is not good, so many years have been like this, I don't have anything, I just embarrass Master." ”

"No shame. Jiang Weiming said, "You are willing to learn, willing to endure hardships, better than those who are talented but lazy." My two sons don't want to learn, you do, you are more filial than my two sons, you didn't disgrace me. ”

Jiang Feng was surprised to find that Jiang Jian actually blushed a little.

It's unexpectedly shy.

After the tofu is fried, cut it while it is hot, leaving only a trace of skin to connect it, and dig out the tofu inside, which looks like a box.

Digging tofu is not difficult, but it is a delicate job, Jiang Weiming is slow, and it took more than ten minutes to dig out three tofu boxes. Then start to fry the stuffing, put the dug tofu and Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiang hygienically processed ingredients into the pot together, fry quickly on high heat, and finally fill the fried stuffing back into the tofu box.

"Is there any stock?" Jiang Weiming asked.

"Yes, in the fridge, I'll get it. Jiang Jian went to get the broth, a large pot, and brought it to Jiang Weiming, "Master, is this okay?"

The soup was cold, Jiang Weiming stirred it with a spoon, nodded, and asked him to heat up the stock.

Jiang Weiming put it in the steamer and steamed it over high heat, without making special toppings, it seems that he was going to pour the broth directly.

Sure enough, after the tofu box was steamed, Jiang Weiming took out the tofu that had recovered its softness, poured a spoonful of broth, and the dish was ready.

Although Jiang Jian's knife skills are average, this pot of soup is still good.

"Come, Xiao Feng, hygiene, you can taste it while it's hot. Hygiene, call Zhang Li out to eat together. Jiang Weiming said.

"Ah, Master, won't you eat it?" Jiang Jian was a little surprised, he was just about to give half of his own to his wife.

Jiang Weiming made a total of three.

"At my age, I can't eat such meat. Jiang Weiming said, "I'll make another sweet potato, Xiaofeng, do you want me to make another bowl of noodles for you?"

"No, no. Jiang Feng Lian Lian refused, he ate a big bowl of fat rice noodles, a bowl of dragon hands and two strings of sugar and oil fruits in just a few hours, if he ate another bowl of noodles, he was afraid that he would have to go to the hospital for gastric lavage like Liu Qian.

Jiang Weiming returned to the kitchen and continued to cook.

Jiang Jian's wife Zhang Li is also a wonderful person, she comes out to help when she wants to help, and goes back to the room the rest of the time, and she doesn't speak.

Jiang Weiming's tofu box is more delicious than the old man in Jiang Feng's memory, Jiang Weiming has been in Shu for so many years, and he has always made Sichuan cuisine, and even Jiang Jian didn't know that he was an authentic Lu cuisine chef.

Although he has not cooked Lu cuisine for many years, Jiang Weiming is Jiang Weiming after all, and it is Jiang Weiming who has been taught by Jiang Chengde for more than ten years.

"I didn't expect Master to be so good at making tofu, Xiao Feng, do you know what this dish is called?" Jiang Jian took a bite of the tofu box, looking satisfied.

"Tofu box, a famous dish of Lu cuisine. Jiang Feng said.

"I didn't expect Master Lu Cai to do so well, why didn't I see him do it. Jiang Jian looked regretful, feeling that he had missed a lot over the years.

Jiang Feng: ......

To be honest, since he came to Shudi, he hasn't seen much of the restaurants of other cuisines, and he has only seen two Lanzhou ramen and S County snacks.

Think about it this way, Jiang's cuisine focuses on Lu cuisine, and Jiang Weiming has forced himself to become a Sichuan cuisine master in Shu for so many years, which is really hard for him.
