Ability and responsibility are like a pair of twin brothers, always inseparable from Meng's relationship, whether it is the study of the lost ancient Chinese cuisine or the task of determining the Chinese national cuisine, it is not Zhou Dong's complete spontaneous willingness, but it is definitely not forced by others.

After all, when he reached his position, it was his duty to restore the ancient Chinese cuisine, which was conducive to the practice of Chinese diligence; as for the determination of the national cuisine, when he was in Kyoto that day, the old man had the intention of asking for it, and now it was proposed by Grandpa Hu himself, whether it was public or private, Zhou Dong should bear it.

After all, in Zhou Dong's life, there are three people who have the greatest influence on him, the first two are parents, and the third is Grandpa Hu, I remember when he was in a mental hospital, he was disheartened and thought that his life had come to an end, if there was no enlightenment from Grandpa Hu, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to persevere until he got out of the mental hospital and became a student of Qingxiang.

When taking Grandpa Hu out of the psychiatric hospital, Zhou Dong said very decisively: "Grandpa Hu, I promise you that if you don't decide on the national cuisine of Huaxia for a day, you won't leave Huaxia for a day." ”

Hu Shenchu patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly: "If you can advance and retreat, you are the big husband, grandpa is very happy!"

Shi Buyu and Takemiya Masada looked at the master from the previous year, surprised and admired in their hearts.

Zhou Dong just said that if he doesn't decide on the Chinese national cuisine for a day, he won't leave Huaxia Qinxing for a day, that is to say, when he sets the Chinese national cuisine, he will leave Huaxia Qinxing and no longer be the 'No. 1 chef in China'?

Although the chef is not a superstructure, at the level of Zhou Dong, it can be said that fame and money are at his fingertips, but he understands the truth of retreating bravely from the rapids at such a young age, and he can't do it at all if he doesn't have his own opinions on life.

Even Shi Buyu, a Chinese chef, also had the idea of retiring when he reached a certain age, if he thought differently and let him give up fame and fortune at Zhou Dong's age and return to the mountains and forests, I am afraid that most of them will be reluctant.

"It's worthy of my old beggar's master, and it's really not a mortal!"

Before, it was hindered by gambling, and then it was really admired, but now Shi Buyu can be said to be respectful to Zhou Dong.

Walking out of the Chudu Mental Hospital and leaving the little nurses who were all showy, Hu Shenchu was still a little lost, but when he came to the long-lost Sister Valley, breathed the familiar air and the fragrance of flowers here, looked at the unfamiliar but vaguely familiar faces, and listened to the simple local voice, Hu Shenchu seemed to have returned to the era of youth and enthusiasm, and seemed to be ten years younger for a while.

The project of Zhou's annex was not completely completed until yesterday, and now next to the inner lake where Zhou Dong has planted Tianxiang snow, a row of antique rooms with blue bricks and yellow tiles and carved wooden window lattices have been built, which is also a specially built guest room according to Zhou Dong's requirements, which can accommodate more than a dozen visitors to live here.

Although the room is an antique building, modern sanitary facilities are not absent, after all, retro is not to return to rubbing the skin valley with bamboo pieces, which does not meet the modern health requirements. All the furniture in the room is made of solid wood, with absolutely zero addition and no pollution, and there is no need to consider the problem of aldehyde removal.

The window lattice is pasted with first-class window paper, which is all concocted by ancient methods, which can withstand wind and rain, but it is more breathable than the glass often used in modern times, even if the window is not opened on weekdays, there is no need to worry about air circulation.

"Hehe, you kid is very good at enjoying it, these solid wood furniture and window paper are good things, the former cost is too high, and it is not conducive to protecting the environment, but not necessarily every family buys and uses, the latter is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, I don't know how strong it is than modern glass windows, and it is a pity that modern people abandon such a good thing. ”

Hu Shenchu is estimated to have been in a mental hospital for a long time, whether it is really crazy or fake crazy, it is inevitable that he will be contaminated with a trace of madness, and the more he enters the room, the more satisfied he becomes, especially the carved frame bed very much, and he actually sat on it like a child, and then rolled around......

"Good guy, it's still a bed made of cow tendons, with this thing, you don't even need a mattress or anything, compared to such a good thing, those high-end mattresses worth tens of thousands of dollars are just rubbish!"

Hu Shenchu jumped a few times on the cow tendon bed excitedly, and he was as sharp as a young man: "Zhou boy, this room belongs to Grandpa Hu and me?"

Of course, there are a total of eighteen houses in this column, all of which have a layout of one living room, one bedroom and one bathroom, and Grandpa Hu can choose any one. ”

"Don't choose, just this one!"

Hu Shenchu pushed open the window, and in front of him was the inner lake, where the green leaves were spread out in patches, and the fist-sized lotus pods poked out of the water, spreading a strange fragrance.

"Hmm, I haven't been out of the Chudu Mental Hospital for decades, but I've become lonely and unheard, what kind of lotus root is this?"

Hu Shenchu looked at the lotus root in the inner lake carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more serious his expression became.

Back then, he conquered the stomach of the old man Zhu with a piece of jade porridge, so that Grandpa Zhu never forgot this delicacy when he was dying, and Zhou Dong also intersected with Zhu Yanping because of this delicacy.

So when it comes to the understanding of the world's famous lotus root, I'm afraid few people can surpass Hu Shenchu, the so-called 'southern lotus root eats powder, northern lotus root eats crispy', only the white lotus root of Chudu can be eaten fresh and crisp when it is new and tender, and glutinous powder can be obtained when it is old and old, just like the geographical location of Chudu, it is the culmination of the north and south.

That's why he chose the white lotus root of Chudu back then, and in his opinion, in addition to a few types of 'Gonglian Tribute Root' that have been trapped in legends but have long disappeared from the world, it is really difficult to find ingredients that surpass the white lotus root.

The lotus root in the inner lake in front of you is more and more magical in the sun, the roots and veins in the lotus leaf are as transparent as they are, as if they are jade threads strung by heavenly and skillful hands, shining in the lotus leaves, as if there is a strong vitality beating.

There are also the lotus shower heads that stick out of the water, most of the ordinary lotus shower heads will hang down slightly, but these shower heads are not, each one is slightly raised, and the front is facing the direction of the sun! Obviously the lotus seeds have not been picked and peeled out, and there is a faint fragrance on the surface of the lake.

Hu Shenchu took a sniff, only to feel that there was a bone-chilling coolness after the light fragrance in the mouth, followed by an indescribable coolness and comfort throughout the body, as if drinking a bowl of cold mung bean soup on dog days.

Zhou Dong's eighteen rooms were originally in the valley, and Sister Valley is not cold in winter or hot in summer, and the rooms are surrounded by green trees, so they don't need to turn on the air conditioner at all. However, the coolness of this external environment is completely different from the refreshing coolness of the heart, Hu Shenchu just inhaled a mouthful of lotus incense, and felt as if his body had been cleansed, and his limbs were clean and clear, and there was a feeling of rebirth.

The lotus root was originally the legendary fairy food, but the legend is just a legend after all, and no one has ever touched it personally, but the lotus root in the inner lake in front of him makes Hu Shenchu feel like he is in close contact with the 'legend'.

With his experience and knowledge, he is also secretly surprised, where did Zhou Dong get such a good thing?
