In fact, it's not just Hu Shenchu who has such questions, Shi Buyu and Takemiya Masata, who have also been speculating about the root of the different lotus roots in the lake, but they are 'disciples', so it is naturally inconvenient to ask the master.

Zhou Dong smiled and said: "Grandpa Hu, this may be the magic of creation, the special soil environment of Chudu is easy to produce good lotus roots, and the water quality of this Sister Valley is relatively special, there are both hot springs from the ground, as well as local water sources in Chudu, I tried to use local white lotus root and southern powder root to pollinate each other, but I didn't expect such a lotus root to emerge."

Actually, I haven't eaten this kind of lotus root yet, but I just gave him a nice name, called 'Tianxiang Xueshi'. ”

The current Grandpa Hu is not an old madman in the Chudu Mental Hospital, Zhou Dong naturally can't tell the truth and admit that this lotus root seed is exchanged from the system, once such words are said, it is very likely that he will be sent to the Chudu Mental Hospital again, this is not a joke.

"Oh, really?"

Hu Shenchu looked at Zhou Dong with a smile, and saw at a glance that Zhou Dong was not telling the truth; in fact, in his opinion, the lotus root in this lake is very similar to a certain kind of legendary tribute lotus, and then think of Zhou Dong once went to Kyoto and was valued by the old man Shang, and immediately guessed that this lotus root has an extraordinary origin, since Zhou Dong is unwilling to say it explicitly, it is natural that there is a reason that cannot be explained, how can an old fox like him continue to ask?

"Boy, have you thought of how to eat this fragrant snow?

This lotus root is not ordinary, just with this strange aroma, it is not an exaggeration to call a 'heavenly fragrance snow fruit', grandpa, I can see a little drooling......"

Shi Buyu and Wugong Zhengtian both nodded secretly, and said in their hearts that the two of us have been eyeing this lotus root for a long time, and with Brother Hu here today, it seems that we can feast on it.

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Grandpa came by coincidence, I want to use this lotus root to restore an ancient dish today, and it is also to complete a project of our ancient cuisine research group.

If I can pass the level of Grandpa Hu, I will get the private room and make it public, and it can be regarded as completing part of the agreement between me and the Shangzhou Group and the Yellow River Group......"

As his status in Huaxia Qinxing is getting higher and higher, there is already a feeling of being in a high place, especially after returning from Kyoto this time, the prestige of Qinxing has reached an unprecedented peak, and during this time, he has received various invitations from Huaxia Qinxing, some of them are invited to come and guide, some are invited to be judges, and even some high-end restaurant chefs have conflicts, which then leads to disputes between Qinxing's factions, and they actually want to ask him to be the 'principal'......

Zhou Dong is simply as big as a fight, and they all say that the ancient diligence is in the rivers and lakes, and this modern diligence is enough to be mountainous, and when there is a conflict, he is still looking for himself to be the main person, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a certain X group boss in the Xiangjiang movie came forward to solve the problem for the younger brothers. However, many of these invitations are still his 'protégés', who became a special chef in the hands of him, the chief judge, and some of them asked him not to move, and they all went to Dong Qishen......

I'm tired...... Zhou Dong has already had the idea of retreating, but what the man's husband said must be counted, but it is not as good as hiding directly in a mental hospital like Grandpa Hu back then. Now he has one more thing to do, and he has promised Grandpa Hu to take on the burden of determining the national cuisine.

Grandpa Hu doesn't feel sorry for himself, and he doesn't have to be polite? Lao Shi is also a god chef and has a five-body throw to the ground that Grandpa Hu admires, such a master must be close to the ancient cuisine research group, and the porridge pot with Cheng Yuqi has been getting hotter and hotter recently, this girl has decided to announce her retirement from the entertainment industry next month for him, and honestly be a chef and daughter-in-law, in return, she has to accompany others more, if there is Grandpa Hu in charge of the research group, it will be more convenient when you want to withdraw......

Now Huai Liangren has temporarily returned to the Champs-Elysées restaurant in France, and there is Yan Yi with Zhou Aiguo in the limelight in the private room, basically he doesn't have to work too hard, if this research group has Grandpa Hu in charge, Zhou Dong feels that he can get out of the shell of the golden cicada, and there are three great chefs who can't study what kind of dishes? A few ancient dishes are just a matter of time.

It was this idea, Zhou Dong calculated in his heart, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.

How did Hu Shenchu know that this kid was calculating to let himself carry the pot, looking at the heterogeneous lotus roots all over the lake, his saliva gradually flowed out, he has been bitter all these years, everything is good in the mental hospital, but the food in the canteen is too improvised, and he can't roll up his sleeves to cook even if he is a patient?

Zhou Dong looked at Hu Shenchu and Shi Buyu and Wugong Zhengtian, who were looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "I am going to use this 'Tianxiang Xueshi' to make a famous dish in the Dream of Red Mansions, this dish is also the most detailed record in the Dream of Red Mansions, and it can basically be concluded that it is an ancient dish that once existed, and it is not an exaggerated and fictional thing." ”

"Oh, the most detailed dish recorded in the Dream of Red Mansions, it can only be eggplant, you kid want to use this dish to entertain grandpa? Yes, yes, you have a heart. ”

Hu Shenchu smiled and nodded: "But did you kid get something wrong?" This eggplant is famous, and I don't know how many chefs have 'played' him, even my grandfather tried to make this dish back then, but the real taste is not too right, it can be eaten, but the taste is not as wonderful as described."

And as far as Grandpa knows, this eggplant doesn't use lotus root, what is your idea?"

Shi Buyu and Takemiya Zhengtian, who were standing aside and listening, also nodded again and again, who doesn't know the eggplant, it was clear what Mr. Cao recorded in the book back then, the ingredients used in this dish are nothing more than eggplant, chicken breast, tofu and bamboo shoots, etc., plus pine nuts, hazelnuts, almonds and other dried fruits as accessories.

And chicken breast, tofu, bamboo shoots or something, are all used to make 'chicken melon seeds' ingredients, although it is related to the eggplant itself, but it is not the same thing, the eggplant itself is not very complicated to put it bluntly, and I have never heard of using lotus root.

The influence of Dream of Red Mansions is very great, not to mention in China, even in the island country, it is also very widespread, and Takemiya Masata, naturally, is also one of the chefs who have 'played' this dish, but even if a great chef like him makes eggplant according to the records in the book, the taste is just like that, and I can't say how delicious it is.

"Eggplant is the most famous dish in the Dream of Red Mansions, and there are many chefs who have made this dish in reality, and our ancient cuisine research group has actually made it a few times before, and I feel that the taste is average, and it does not reach the height recorded in the book......

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "I actually saw that Tianxiang Xue was ripe, and suddenly I had some new ideas, and I wanted to verify them, but I still have to make the final judgment on you, Grandpa Hu." ”

"Hehe, that's interesting, grandpa also wants to see what your new ideas for this young Chinese chef are, go quickly, I'm hungry......"
