Jiang Feng, a humble worker, didn't eat three servings in the end—he only ate two.

Sun Maocai failed to get the second share due to the late registration time, and Jiang Feng could only reluctantly give up his third share to Sun Maocai.

Jiang Feng didn't understand, Sun Maocai couldn't cook what the grandmaster of Cantonese cuisine wanted to eat, so he had to grab his third share.

Even though Sun Maocai ate two side quests and failed to complete them, it was obvious that the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon could not make Sun Maocai recall the memories that were gradually forgotten.

When Jiang Feng returned to the dinner table and began to eat like a normal diner who had come to the dinner party, the dinner was already halfway over, and when he first came out of the back kitchen, he felt that the atmosphere in the lobby was different from before, and after sitting down, he could feel the difference more intuitively.

Happy.

Everyone was happy, with a smile on their faces, and it was a smile of contentment, a smile of happiness. Jiang Feng was just passing by a table when he overheard the guests at the table talking about the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon, and it was obvious that this happiness was given to them by the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon.

Food is one of the convenient ways for human beings to directly obtain happiness.

"Kiki, was something going on here just now?" Jiang Feng asked impatiently after he sat down, he always felt that something big was happening in the lobby when he was thickening the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon.

Wu Minqi took a pair of chopsticks to steam the sea bass, put the tender sea bass meat in the bowl, and said, "Some guests are a little excited. ”

"Excited?" Jiang Feng was a little puzzled, he was only responsible for thickening when he was in the back kitchen, and he didn't know anything about the sensation caused by the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon.

"Actually, it's just grabbing vegetables, isn't there still some leftover eight-treasure chestnut pigeons, and some people can order the second portion? A few people at the front tables quarreled over who belonged to the last few servings, but the others stopped after a little persuasion. Wu Minqi said, "Just now Sun Jikai asked you to go to the kitchen to thicken the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon, right?"

Jiang Feng nodded: "Well, it's just a little favor, if you can help, you can help." Kiki, what do you think of today's Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon?"

"Very good. Wu Minqi never hesitates to say when praising her boyfriend, "The pigeon meat is fragrant, the vegetarian stuffing inside is well matched, the seasoning is moderate, and the timing of thickening is just right, except that Master Sun made this one the best." ”

Jiang Feng was about to say two sentences of hypocritical modesty, and Sun Maocai, who was immersed in eating the second eight-treasure chestnut fragrant pigeon, suddenly looked up at Jiang Feng.

His eight-treasure chestnut fragrant pigeon was the last to be served alone, in order to prevent the dissatisfaction of other guests, Jiang Feng also deliberately changed the container before thickening it so as not to be seen by others.

"You're in charge of thickening all of this?" Sun Maocai asked with a smile.

Jiang Feng was about to answer, but the old man took the lead: "Of course, how can that kid of the Sun family have this level, if he has this level, the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon in Jubaolou will not be sold crazy early." ”

"Senior Brother Sun taught?" Sun Maocai looked surprised.

The old man was a little proud: "My grandson realized it himself." ”

Jiang Feng: ......

It's so cool to be blown a rainbow fart by an old man!

Although Jiang Feng is very happy in his heart, he should be modest in the place: "I figured it out with Sun Jikai, in fact, he will also, but he is not very proficient and has to practice again." ”

Sun Maocai smiled and stopped talking.

However, after eating two bites of food, the old man suddenly figured out that something was wrong with Sun Maocai's words, turned his head to look at him and asked, "Have you eaten this thing before?"

"No, today is the first time I've eaten it, so I think it tastes good and I want more. Sun Maocai said unhurriedly.

"Then how do you know that the key point of this dish is thickening?" the old man didn't believe his nonsense.

"Although I haven't eaten it, I heard diners mention it a few years ago, how could I not know that Senior Brother Sun's dish is so famous. Besides, can't Senior Brother Jiang see that the key point of this dish is thickening after tasting it?" Sun Maocai asked rhetorically, "With Senior Brother Sun's character, I'm afraid that the method of thickening will not be easily taught to others, even apprentices. ”

Jiang Weiguo was choked and speechless.

He could see it, but it was after going back and pondering it, how could he have eaten it the first time he ate it.

"Yes. The old man nodded vaguely.

Jiang Feng kept eating while eavesdropping, just now he ate two servings of eight treasure chestnut pigeons in the back kitchen, and there was something in his stomach. The dishes on the table are good, but they are still far worse than the eight treasure chestnut pigeons. Only the steamed sea bass that Wu Minqi had a few chopsticks in there before tasted very delicious, Jiang Feng also liked this dish very much, and he and Wu Minqi divided this steamed sea bass in half of it.

As for Sun Maocai and the old man, the two of them didn't seem to have much interest in the dishes on the table, and only occasionally stretched out their chopsticks. The old man was not interested, Jiang Feng knew the reason, most of the dishes on the table did not meet the old man's appetite, and it was normal for him to be reluctant to move chopsticks. As for why Sun Maocai didn't move his chopsticks, Jiang Feng guessed that it was probably because the master's vision was too high to look down on the dishes on the table.

"Kiki, do you think this steamed sea bass is different from what we usually eat?" After half a sea bass was swallowed, Jiang Feng began to taste the taste of steamed sea bass.

The sea bass meat is extremely fresh, and when you pick open the skin of the fish on the outside with chopsticks, you can clearly see the delicate and snow-white fish inside, and you can eat the salty and fresh meat itself even if you don't dip it in the soup. The steaming heat is just right, the fish is at the moment when it is just cooked, it is the most tender and smooth, when Jiang Feng eats it, the fish is already warm, if it is just out of the pot and still steaming fish, it must be more delicious and attractive.

"Well, the sea bass seems to have been marinated in something special, and there should be lemon. When I first served it, I sandwiched the piece of meat close to the fish belly, and it tasted faintly lemony. Wu Minqi changed careers to become a food commentator, "There is a hint of sweetness of rice wine in the soup, and the taste is indeed different from the steamed sea bass I used to eat." ”

"Steamed sea bass is Qiu Fu's signature dish, and these sea bass are carefully marinated in the belly of the fish with something special. I can't say what it is, even if I can taste it, after all, I can't smash his rice bowl, but there are indeed lemons, not fresh lemons but dried lemon slices. Sun Maocai explained with a smile.

"Who is Qiu Fu?" the old man asked.

"Senior Brother Sun's eldest apprentice should be the head chef of Jubaolou now, and many of the young chefs in the back kitchen of Jubaolou are his apprentices. Sun Maocai said.

"I didn't expect you to stay in Hong Kong City all these years, and you know a lot about Jubaolou, I don't know. The old man said.

"After all, Senior Brother Jiang is far away, although I am in Hong Kong City, Hong Kong City is close to here after all, and everyone is in the same vein as Cantonese cuisine, so it is normal to know some news about some exchanges on weekdays. Sun Maocai explained it well.

The old man no longer paid attention to him, but from his expression, it could be seen that he didn't believe Sun Maocai's nonsense.

After Jiang Feng finished eating the sea bass, he didn't have much interest in the other dishes on the table, so he thought about knocking on the side to set a set of Sun Maocai's words to see if he could hit the dead mouse, and just said something that reminded him of the past.

"Master Sun, have you known my grandfather for many years?" Jiang Feng pretended that he didn't know anything about the old man.

"Of course. Sun Maocai said, "I was only 6 years old when I first met your grandfather, so I have known your grandfather for more than 40 years. ”

Jiang Feng calculated in his heart that more than 40 years meant that the old man should be about 40 years old when he first met Sun Maocai.

But if he remembers correctly, he saw in the old man's memory that he didn't know Grandma Jiang when he came to Jubaolou, and he wasn't even 30 years old.

The time difference is too great.

The old man can't have stayed in the Treasure Building for ten years.

"Actually, now that I think about it, Senior Brother Jiang, you should be regarded as the most special one among all the senior brothers. The other senior brothers either stay in the treasure building to learn art, or they go back after learning and don't come again, but you come every year, and you only stay for half a month each time and leave. Sun Maocai said, "I thought it was strange back then, but now I just take this opportunity to ask, why Senior Brother Jiang?"

Hearing Sun Maocai say this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but look at the old man, trying in vain to pry an answer out of the old man's mouth.

The old man doesn't like to mention his original affairs, he prefers to mention the glorious deeds of Taifeng Building, after all, the glorious past can be used to brag.

The old man coughed twice, and when he saw that he couldn't escape this problem, he said, "I can't take a long vacation." ”

Jiang Feng: ?

"State-run hotels can't take long vacations, unless they are on a business trip, otherwise they will only approve half a month's vacation at most a year, and if they are more, they will have to deduct additional wages Your grandma will not do it. The old man said to Jiang Feng, pretending not to answer Sun Maocai's question.

Sun Maocai: ......

"If I'm not mistaken, you booked tomorrow's Buddha jumping over the wall. The old man quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, I booked it for tomorrow at noon, and I want to try the signature dish of Jubaolou when I come to it. Sun Maocai nodded.

"We've also booked tomorrow at noon, let's go together. The old man sent an invitation to Sun Maocai.

"It's a great honor. ”
