"Ah Jing, your knife skills have been praised by the master of bamboo carving. Zhao Mengxiang smiled when she walked into the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"Master of bamboo carving?" Su Jing was stunned.

"It's that old man with an elegant temperament, he ate the Jade Palace Hidden Dragon you made, and he was full of praise for your knife work. It is said that he used to be a carpenter, and now he is a master of wood carving and bamboo carving, and he prefers to specialize in bamboo carving, and his skills are first-class, and he can be praised by him, which is enough to be proud. Zhao Mengxiang said.

"Cooking and bamboo carving are two different things, how can they be confused?" said Su Zhenhong.

"Wait, sister-in-law, you said he used to be a carpenter, that is, he can repair wooden chairs and something?" Su Jing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course, I heard that many broken wood carvings and antiques have been repaired by him. Zhao Mengxiang said.

"I'll meet him. Su Jing said, then walked out of the kitchen, making Zhao Mengxiang, Su Zhenhong, Liu Shu inexplicable, as soon as Su Jing went out, many customers gave a thumbs up and praised, although Su Jing's dishes are twice as expensive, but they are definitely worth the money.

Su Jing walked straight to the old man with an elegant temperament, and said with a smile: "Hello old man, I am chef Su Jing. ”

"Hello, my surname is Tao, and the dishes you cook are amazing. The elegant old man gave a thumbs up, but he had some doubts in his heart, and he didn't know how Su Jing would talk to him. The freckled girl and a tall young man next to her were also curious, wondering if this little chef knew the teacher?

"Hello Tao Lao, I heard that you used to be a carpenter, and now you are a master of bamboo carving, I have a few tattered chairs and sofa antiques, I don't know if I can ask you to help me repair them." Su Jing said. Originally, Su Jing thought that he would find someone to repair those Hainan Huanghuali chairs and sofas. Since this pottery old man can even repair wood carving antiques, he should repair the chair and sofa to good condition. It's not that hard.

"I'm sorry, I'm not available. Tao Lao waved his hand and smiled.

"Can't you just take some time to come out? As for the reward, you can ask. Su Jing said.

"It's not about money, I'm going to participate in a bamboo carving appreciation recently, and I'm researching new bamboo carving works, I'm getting older, and I don't know how long I can live, but I don't want to waste time mending chairs and sofas. If I charge you a very high price, I won't be happy in my heart. It's not a good deal for you, so you might as well hire some professional carpenters to fix it. Tao Lao said.

The freckled girls and tall young men on the side all thought to themselves, this little kitchen god is really, the teacher's time is precious, how can he have time to repair the broken chairs and sofas, the teacher is now a master of bamboo carving, not a little carpenter.

"Well, forget it, bother you. I wish you better bamboo carving works. Su Jing felt a little regretful in his heart, but he didn't force it, Tao Lao was right, a clever carpenter in this world. It's not just Tao Lao, since he doesn't have time, let's find someone else.

"Little Chef. Immediately you go and cook. ”

"Yes, we also ordered the Mandarin Duck Bamboo Tree. ”

Freckled schoolgirl and tall young man. After eating the Jade Palace Hidden Dragon, I can't wait for a long time.

"Wait a minute. Su Jing smiled. Back in the kitchen, continue to make the third course.

After a while, a piece of mandarin duck bamboo came out of the oven and was brought out by Zhao Mengxiang. This dish also looks very good, the bamboo tube is broken and cut into shreds, spread out in all directions, forming a "bamboo plate", in which the bamboo silk on both sides is longer and slightly rolled upwards, as if two mandarin ducks are opposite, and the pork tenderloin, chicken breast, and various ingredients are supported on it, and the color and shape are perfect.

"This dish is so beautiful, it's like a work of art. ”

"yes, I'm a little reluctant to eat it. ”

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat it, give me one to eat. ”

"You want to be beautiful, I'm just talking. ”

The customers were impressed by the appearance of this mandarin duck bamboo, but they couldn't resist the rich aroma, and after the dish was served, they couldn't wait to eat a bite, and then they couldn't stop and devoured it. They finally knew that those beautiful bamboo shreds were so finely cut, not flashy, but let the bamboo fragrance completely exude and penetrate into the dish, forming a unique and attractive fragrance.

"It's so delicious!"

"This bamboo is so fragrant, I can't help but want to eat it too. ”

"What kind of bamboo is this? I've never heard of any bamboo so fragrant. ”

"The knife work of cutting bamboo shreds is also extremely good, how can you cut it so finely. ”

"This dish is perfect in terms of color, flavor, shape and meaning. "The short and fat middle-aged man was completely shocked, the so-called color, flavor, shape and meaning, color refers to the color of food, incense refers to the fragrance of food, and taste refers to the taste of food;

The shape is actually slowly divided from the color, the main thing is to pay attention to the shape and decoration of the finished dish; the meaning is sublimated from the color and shape, but also the Chinese are more particular, like drinking tea to pay attention to the artistic conception and atmosphere, the food should also reflect the cultural connotation, if the name of the dish can echo the material, the finished dish shape, it is good; nourishment refers to the nutritional content, the so-called medicine supplement is not as good as food supplement, food can nourish people is this truth, pay attention to the full embodiment of food nutrition, to meat and vegetarian reasonable matching.

The masters of the culinary world are all pursuing the perfection of color, flavor, shape and meaning, because only in this way can they be regarded as the best dishes. However, few people can achieve more than 90 points in color, flavor, shape and intention, but this mandarin duck bamboo, color, fragrance, shape and consciousness are close to full scores.

"Third uncle, I rarely serve people, but this little chef god in Qingyun Town, I am really convinced, I think I must invite him to our Wang family restaurant as a chef. The thin young man looked excited, and he said a little slurred while eating.

The audience was full of praise, Tao Lao's table is no exception, but Tao Lao ate a few bites, he was attracted by bamboo, as a bamboo carving master, will try to use a variety of bamboo, in order to complete different works, naturally I have been exposed to all kinds of bamboo, almost recognize the world's well-known bamboo.

However, there is such a good smell of bamboo, but he has never touched, he took a bamboo down, observed for a moment, broke it with his hand, suddenly showed a trace of surprise, and then broke it hard, his eyes almost popped out.

This bamboo, so hard, so tough, such a thin bamboo wire, with so much strength, did not break. If you look closely, the bamboo is delicate and smooth, almost like jade, and the bamboo of such a good material has never been seen or heard of.

Tao Lao suddenly picked up the whole "bamboo plate" and poured the dishes inside onto the plate, the freckled girl and the tall young man were puzzled, and the tall young man asked, "Teacher, what's wrong, you don't like this dish?"

"No, you can eat, I'll look at this bamboo. Tao Lao said.

"Oooh. The tall young man and the freckled girl were also a little curious about the bamboo, but they couldn't resist the temptation of the food, so they continued to eat, while aiming at Tao Lao with their spare eyes.

The upper part of the bamboo tube is all cut into shreds and spread out in all directions to form a bamboo plate, and the bottom is still a complete bamboo joint. Tao Lao took out a delicate knife and carved it at the bottom of the bamboo, and after only a few carvings, his face showed excitement, and he breathed rapidly with excitement. (To be continued.) )
