"Uncle Lu, just send it here. Liu Mang took out a bundle of brand-new renminbi from his bag and stuffed it into his hand.
"No! No! I can't ask for this!" Lu Yitian waved his hand again and again, and hid back vigorously.
"Take it, buy some nutritional products for the old man to regulate his body, and I will be paid for the next paper purchase." Liu Mang grabbed Lu Yitian's wrist and stuffed the money into his hand.
"Okay. I'll take the money first, and I'll make the rest of the bamboo shoot paper for you as soon as possible. Lu Yitian snorted.
"Uncle Lu, have you memorized the practice of bee chrysalis?"
"Write it down, it should be fine. Lu Yitian took out a piece of paper full of small characters, and said after reading it carefully.
"That's good, I believe the old man will cheer up soon. Liu Mang nodded, pulled the car door and sat down.
Wuyan started the car, waved goodbye to Lu Yitian, and drove towards Jiangdong...
"Boss, what do you say is the first thing you need to learn to be a chef?" asked Five Eyes.
"First of all, you have to practice sword skills. The knife is evenly balanced, so that you can truly grasp the taste of the dish. Generally speaking, it is only qualified to be able to practice cutting potatoes on the thighs without injuring the legs. β
"Huh, it's so hard, how long does it take to practice?"
"Be diligent, maybe a year to two years. β
"Scared! so long? And then?"
"Then practice spoon skills, practice for more than a year, you can learn side dishes, then go to the water table, learn to plate, and then grind for two years to fry on the stove. β
"It's so difficult to learn to cook? I think those New Oriental, Lan Xiang or something, don't they say that they can become teachers in three months?"
"That's also called learning to cook?" Liu Mang snorted coldly, with a look of disdain: "It's just fried fast food." A really good chef is trained by hard bridges and hard horses, and he can't be lazy. β
"For example, if you take a dish of shiitake mushroom choy sum in a well-made Lu dish, the correct way to do this dish should be to evenly stack the choy sum and shiitake mushrooms in a large spoon and stir-fry them as a whole. What is served in the pot, it should be turned upside down, and the shiitake mushrooms and cabbage sum should be clearly distinguished. But now, most of the restaurants are mixed together and fried before stacking the plate, so that the heat and taste of the dish completely lose the characteristics of the grilled dish. β
"Boss, but if everyone is like you, then there are not many people who can cook? β
"That's right! It's not just the chefs who are impetuous in this era, but also the diners. Speaking of this, Liu Mang looked a little distressed.
"Now diners who order Hibiscus chicken slices don't know that there are no chicken slices in this dish in the first place, but think that the name is not true. In order to make money quickly, some restaurants and restaurants mostly remove some time-consuming and laborious dishes from the menu that test the chef's skills. Over time, these dishes were not known, no one cooked, and they were almost lost. β
Speaking of this, Liu Mang looked out the car window, where a large rice field was pulling out green seedlings.
"Sometimes we blame that there are no good actors, but in fact, there are no good audiences. In the same way, we blame the lack of good chefs, but we don't have good diners. The relationship between a chef and a diner is like that between a boy and a child, who need to meet a soulmate to understand and appreciate each other. It's hard to find a soulmate, so there's no longer a good taste to stand up to waiting. β
Not only that, Liu Mang is also particularly disgusted with those star chefs who are packaged by the media.
In his opinion, they are not cooking, but putting on a show. Based on the insights and inspiration of a certain trip, the advantages and spirit of a certain cuisine, and then the comments and recommendations of a nutritionist, and then the value doubles, but there are still many people who eat it.
You must know that it is these people who seek a quick success, mislead diners, and corrupt the food civilization and essence that our ancestors have explored and practiced from generation to generation.
"Boss, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to learn to cook. Wuyan secretly glanced at Liu Mang, swallowed and foamed: "I shouldn't have that talent, I'm still at ease... β
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, Liu Mang shouted, because a figure in front of him rushed out of the intersection.
"Crunch!" Goyan slammed on the brakes.
"How's it going?!Did you bump into it?" asked Five-Eyed with a pale face.
"I don't know, hurry up and go down and have a look!"
An emaciated figure was limping to the side of the roadβa young girl.
"I'm your grandmother, don't you have long eyes when you walk, rush into the car, you are looking for death!" Five eyes let out a cold sweat and scolded as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Sister, are you okay, I'll take you to the hospital. Liu Mang glared at him and asked the girl.
"It's nothing! It's okay! I'll just sit down. The young girl spoke crisp Xiangxi dialect and sat down on the side of the road.
Liu Mang frowned, the girl should have been scraped by the car, and the pants at the knee were worn out with a hole, and the white and tender skin on it was oozing out a trace of blood.
"Xiao Wu, don't help someone to the car and send her to the hospital!"
"It's really needless, it's nothing!" the girl waved her hand again and again, picked up the snakeskin bag on the ground, and prepared to leave.
"How can I do that, let me see what the injury looks like?" Liu Mang squatted down and examined the wound on her knee.
Fortunately, the wound is really fine except for a little skin and some bruising.
"Xiao Wu, help me bring the liquor in the back compartment, I'll help her disinfect first, and then we'll send her to the hospital for examination later. β
"Okay!" After Wuyan opened, the carriage took out a bottle of Hengshui Lao Baigan with more than 70 degrees from inside.
"It hurts a little, you bear with it. Liu Mang poured the liquor little by little on her wound, washing away the sand embedded in the flesh. The little girl was very strong and didn't say a word.
"Girl, get in the car, we'll take you to the hospital. After cleaning the wound, Liu Mang was ready to help her to the car.
"No, no, it's so expensive to go to the hospital, I'm really fine! I still have to take a ride to the city, I don't have time. β
"Which city are you going to? Liu Mang was a little helpless, but such a simple girl is rare now.
"Koto City. I was in a hurry to get a ride on the road, and I don't blame you. β
"Koto City, we just happened to stop by, get in the car, I'll give you a ride." Liu Mang motioned to the fat man to carry the girl's snakeskin bag and helped her to the car.
Sitting in the car, Liu Mang looked at this girl. The girl looked like she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with two pigtails, no powder, beautiful eyebrows, and a blue tracksuit.
The sportswear should have been worn for a long time, and the washing is a little whitish. At first glance, she is the kind of little girl who has just come out of school and is ready to run outside to work, and she is still not deeply involved in the world.
"Sister, are you leaving home for the first time?" asked Liu Mang. "Are you going to go to school in Koto this time?"
The girl didn't reply, just held her cheeks and stared straight ahead.
Liu Mang was a little strange and looked at her gaze. It turned out that she was looking at a bag of meat buns on the windshield of the car, as if she had lost her soul.
This bag of buns was bought by Wuyan on the road, and the uncle's current taste has been raised by Liu Mang. He usually eats seven or eight buns in one go, but today he only ate one and yelled that it was unpalatable, so he threw it there casually, ready to take it home and feed the stray dog in front of the store.
"Uh, this... Are you hungry? It's okay, you can eat. β
"Ah!" the little girl came back to her senses, her face turned red with a "swish", and asked weakly, "Can I really eat it?"
"Eat, eat, we are not hungry after eating. β
The little girl opened the plastic bag containing the bun, carefully took out an oily bun, looked left and right as if holding some holy object, and then bit off half of it in one bite.
"Delicious, delicious!" the little girl chewed, her mouth making a muffled sound, her eyes smiling into two crooks, as if this bun was the most delicious food in the world.
"Is it really that delicious?" Seeing the little girl's elated expression, Wuyan couldn't help but scratch the back of her fat head, puzzled.
It doesn't make sense, he's tasted this bun, and compared to the food made by the boss, it's almost the same as pig food.
"I'm hungry, eat slowly, don't choke. Liu Mang saw that the little girl had two bites, and quickly ate most of the dozen buns, and hurriedly handed over a bottle of water.
Soon, all the buns were wiped out by her. The little girl swallowed the last bite slowly, reluctantly looked at the plastic bag in her hand, and sighed softly.
"She won't be full yet, will she?" Liu Mang and Wuyan's eyes were about to pop out.
This meat bun is bigger than the xiaolongbao sold in the city, and although the taste is unpalatable, the ingredients are solid. Even if it's a big-bellied Arhat with five eyes, it's almost the same if you eat seven or eight.
The five eyes were bought for two people just now, Liu Mang only smelled the smell and put it aside, but he didn't expect this girl to eat it all.
"Girl, how long have you been hungry?" Liu Mang couldn't help but ask.
"I wasn't hungry for long, I came out of breakfast and probably walked hungry easily. The little girl smiled sheepishly.
"What did you eat for breakfast?"
"Well, four bowls of porridge, three steamed buns, and a bowl of noodles... The little girl counted on her fingers.
Liu Mang and Wuyan glanced at each other, and shouted at the same time: "Big Stomach King!?"
