"But that's not right! If you mix two ingredients together, it's a whole new flavor. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Then why don't you just cook it together? Isn't it the same?" Li Ruonan asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's different! The first element of the taste of soup is to use the human mouth, tongue, taste, smell, and even saliva as a cooking tool! Two different foods can only be transformed into a new taste through chewing and tasting by the human body!"

"Wow! Sounds amazing!" Li Ruonan exclaimed.

"Actually, the 'taste of Japanese soup' has been recorded in Chinese cooking for a long time, but I only remember it now. ”

"It's been documented?"

That's right, the famous literary critic Jin Shengsi, before his execution, left the last sentence: peanuts and dried tofu chewed together, there is a great taste of walnuts. If you have this skill, you will die without regrets!"

"Is it just a mix of two different ingredients? That's too simple. ”

"Of course not! In order to make this 'Japanese soup', in addition to the chef's thorough understanding of the ingredients, there is also a mind, and it is this mind that can sublimate the two different ingredients and enter another level. ”

"The more I talk, the more confused I become, I don't understand!" Li Ruonan looked dazed.

"Actually, I don't fully understand it now, but someone must have understood. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Huh?

"Ah, the proprietress and the owner of the shop opposite. Liu Mang pointed to the proprietress in front of him and replied.

"...... she?"

"Uncle, are you a local?do you often come here to eat 'Wine Brewed Lantern Festival'?" Liu Mang turned to the table next to him and asked an uncle wearing black-rimmed glasses.

"Yes, this shop has been open for more than 20 years, and I have gone from a snack to a big one!"

"Then do you know why the proprietress of this shop and the proprietor across the street are selling food together? Why don't you open the shop together? ”

"You don't know. The uncle glanced at the busy proprietress, he turned sideways and lowered his voice: "The proprietress and the boss opposite used to be a pair of lovers!"

"Lover? I didn't expect the five eyes to guess correctly. Li Ruonan suddenly realized.

"Since it's a lover, it should be more of a store. Liu Mang said in surprise.

"Hey, it's hard to put it into words!" sighed the uncle.

"The proprietress of this shop and the boss opposite grew up together, and it can be said that they are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses. In their family, one is making mung bean cakes, and the other is selling sweet wine, both of which are ancestral crafts. ”

"Then didn't they end up together?" asked Li Ruonan.

"Originally, everyone was very optimistic, but many years ago, because a group of thugs were looking for trouble in the opposite store, the boss stabbed one to death with a knife, and was sentenced to more than 20 years. ”

"Huh, didn't the lady wait for him?"

After waiting for more than ten years, I couldn't resist the death of my parents, and finally married someone else, and had two children. ”

"And the last?"

In the end, the boss was released from prison early by commuting his sentence. After returning, the husband of the proprietress also passed away due to illness, so the boss reopened the family's pastry shop at the opposite door of the proprietress . ”

"Now they're all single, so why aren't they together?"

"Maybe the boss's former husband was good to her, and the two children were against it. In addition, the boss was very guilty about what happened back then, so both parties couldn't pull their faces, and they dragged on for more than ten years, and finally it became like this. ”

"Oh...... I understand. ”

"No wonder, I said why is there pine powder in this 'Wine-brewed Lantern Festival', and osmanthus tweed is put in the mung bean cake! It turns out that two people who want to be together but can't be together use the food they cook every day to convey their affection!"

Another aspect of the so-called 'taste of harmony' is that the two people who cook can have the same mind, and the dishes they make cannot rob each other of the taste of each other's dishes. Instead, they will want to cooperate with each other and cover up each other's flaws. Just like mountains and rivers, use the dishes in your hands to convey your emotions. ”

After speaking, Liu Mang picked up a piece of mung bean cake and took another bite, and then drank a spoonful of 'Wine-Brewed Lantern Festival', savoring the taste, with a happy expression on his face.

"You have me, I have you, you and I have you, Qin Se and Ming! This 'taste of harmony', I understand now!"

Clank! Bounty complete! Gain 100,000 Sentiment Points, Exchange Worth 1 Point!

Liu Mang's mind came from the prompt sound given by the space, this time the bounty task was completed!

"Liu Mang, use two different dishes to show a new taste, where is the use of this technique?"

"It's so useful!" Liu Mang came back to his senses from the joy of completing the task: "Do you remember that I mentioned to you before that the biggest difference in catering culture between China and Dongying is the biggest difference?"

"I remember!" Li Ruonan nodded.

"You said that the biggest advantage of Toei cuisine is that you use a separate meal system, so that you don't spoil the taste of the food. Chinese like to eat at a large table, a variety of flavors mixed together, completely unable to eat the original taste of food. ”

"That's right, if I could combine the textures of two different dishes, eating them separately would be two different flavors, and together they would be another. In this case, will the common meal system of Chinese food be able to occupy an advantage again?"

"That's right, but it's too difficult! While cooking, you have to think about several dishes, the texture of each other, but also through the human mouth to show other flavors, without decades of experience, think about it!"

"It's hard to have more than three of them, but I can do them together. Liu Mang's face showed a hint of confidence.

"Liu Mang, ...... I ask you" Li Ruonan put his hands on his cheeks and stared at him with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"What if one day, the same thing happens to you and me with the boss and the boss's wife?"

"Me?" Liu Mang thought for a moment and gritted his teeth fiercely.

"I won't be so stupid! What about getting married? What about having children? Life is too short and time is short! Even if I rob you, I'm going to snatch you!"

"You're such a bad person!" Li Ruonan's face turned red when he heard this, and the whole person seemed to be drunk.

She reached out and gently pinched Liu Mang's arm, and her voice was as small as a mosquito: "But—I like it!" (To be continued.) )
