"Ruonan, why did you bring your hat?" Connecting to the video chat, Liu Mang said in surprise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong?"

Li Ruonan on the other end of the computer is now wearing a beanie, covering his hair tightly.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you bring it before, it's just a little strange. Liu Mang replied.

"Liu Mang, I miss your cooking. Li Ruonan sat upright: "Poria chicken soup, herring bald lung, Liangxi crispy eel...... I dreamed of it. ”

"Come back then. Liu Mang said.

"How do you come back, there's a lot of going on here. Li Ruonan's expression was a little helpless: "When it's over, it may take more than half a year." ”

"Well, when I'm done with Kyoto, I'll go to the United States to see you. Liu Mang thought for a moment and replied.

"Liu Mang, now the upstairs and the winery are now in a period of rapid development, and they can't do without people. Li Ruonan reminded.

"Hey, even though I have the name of a head chef, I'm actually a hands-off shopkeeper. The head office has a single Jane to watch, and the winery has five eyes to manage, and I am actually very idle. ”

"I have a lot of things to do here in the United States, and I can't find time to accompany you at all, anyway, in half a year, I'll be back soon. Li Ruonan said again.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

"Men, men, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic. Just after Liu Mang hung up the video call, a man in the room said.

"Daddy, I know. Li Ruonan's expression was a little gloomy: "But I ...... But I really can't say it. ”

"It's good to keep it, but this will make that kid remember you for the rest of your life. ”

"Don't!" Li Ruonan waved his hand again and again: "Daddy, if you fail, I hope you can tell Liu Mang, just say that I don't think it's suitable between us, it's better to separate." ”

Speaking of this, Li Ruonan looked up at the lush lawn outside the window, and muttered to himself: "In a few years, he will forget about me, he will have his own life, he will have his own lover, a successful career, and a full house ......of children and grandchildren."

"Okay. Li Qiushui nodded, but his heart was like a knife.

Why should my daughter be a bad person, but you kid should live a happy life without knowing it? Who knows about my Li Qiushui's pain?

"Man, you should rest early. The doctor said that the surgery would be performed in a week. Li Qiushui stood up and gently closed the door.

Three days later, the Manhan Tower ......

"Master Liu Mang, this is the president of the Chinese Restaurant Association, Master Shi Yueming. Jia Bufan introduced to Liu Mang to an old man wearing a black tunic with snow-white hair.

"Master Liu Mang, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I only saw a real person for the first time today. Shi Yueming affectionately took Liu Mang's hand: "What you have done recently has really given us Chinese a long face." No wonder Xiao Tan is full of praise when he mentions you, saying that you are a cooking wizard that is rare in a century. ”

President Tan praised it. Liu Mang smiled and said, "I just did what I was supposed to do." ”

"By the way, your master doesn't speak master, didn't you come along?" Shi Yueming asked again.

"Oh, my master drank too much wine last night, and he and my uncle will be there in a moment. Liu Mang replied.

"Haha, Master Buyu is really old and strong! Come on! Come on! I'll introduce you to you. Shi Yueming led Liu Mang to the VIP box upstairs, where a small half of the table was already seated.

"This is Pan Meng, a national first-class chef, Taishan Beidou of Huaiyang cuisine. ”

"Hello, Master Liu Mang. A middle-aged man with a thin figure stood up and nodded at Liu Mang.

"This is Kang Yuhan, the president of the Sichuan Restaurant Association, and the 'boiling water cabbage' dish at the state banquet was developed by him and his master together. ”

"Master Liu Mang is really terrifying, when I was your age, I was still cutting potatoes in the back kitchen. ”

Kang Yuhan is an old man in his sixties, with a beard and a kind demeanor.

"Look up for a long time!" Liu Mang was a little excited: "I have also done that 'boiling water cabbage' countless times, and the more I do it, the more I admire its inventor." To be able to contain the rich and heavy connotation in the simple and ordinary face is simply a stroke of genius. ”

"There is also this one, this is the descendant of the founder of Donglaishun - Wang Menghong. It is because of their efforts that shabu-shabu has blossomed all over China. ”

"Hello!

Today, the people invited by Manhanlou are indeed all well-known predecessors in the catering industry, who have been famous for many years, or the founders or successors of well-known catering companies.

"Today we are going to taste Master Liu Mang's craftsmanship. After taking a seat, Shi Yueming smiled.

"It's just an axe, there are seniors present, and the younger generations can only sacrifice ugliness. Liu Mang arched his hand and said humbly.

"Master Liu Mang, our ingredients are ready, can we start making them now?" Jia Bufan asked after a while.

"Absolutely. Liu Mang stood up: "Seniors, then I'll go and get busy first." ”

"Hmm...... There you go. ”

After Liu Mang left, Shi Yueming spoke: "How is this son?"

"Very good, although I haven't tasted his cooking, but from the conversation just now, he is humble and polite, and gentle as jade. Nowadays, this kind of young man who respects his teacher is rare. Kang Yuhan stroked the beard on his chin and said.

"Needless to say, the level is definitely there. It's up to us to see if we meet our expectations. Panmont also said.

"That's right! Of course, the apprentice taught by the silent master is needless to say. Wang Menghong affirmed.

Liu Mang followed Jia Buping to the back kitchen of the Manhan Building.

"Master Liu Mang, the ingredients we prepared for you are here, are you satisfied?" Jia Buping pointed to the pile of things on the table and said.

Liu Mang walked over and looked at it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

In ancient China, there were eight treasures, namely dragon liver, phoenix marrow, leopard fetus, carp tail, owl burn, scarlet lip, bear paw, and crisp cheese cicada.

The dragon liver here refers to the white horse liver, and the phoenix pith refers to the bone marrow of the golden pheasant. The carp tail is a pangolin, and the owl is an owl.

Manhan Tower was founded in the Qing Dynasty, and the eight treasures of the Qing Dynasty were more detailed than the eight treasures of the Ming and Song dynasties, divided into four types: mountain, sea, poultry and grass.

The eight treasures of the mountain are humps, bear paws, monkey brains, scarlet lips, elephant pulls (elephant trunks), leopard fetus, rhino tails, and deer tendons.

The eight treasures of the sea are bird's nest, shark fin, large black cucumber, fish maw, fish bone, abalone, seal, and pike (baby fish).

The eight treasures of birds are red swallows, flying dragons (a kind of bird called hazel pheasant produced in the mountains and forests of Northeast China), quails, swans, partridges, colored birds (peacocks), turtle doves, and red-headed eagles.

Grass Bazhen is a kind of lion's head (mushroom), white fungus, bamboo sunflower, donkey nest mushroom, morel, mushroom, daylily, and Yunxiangxin (one of the mushrooms).

Now Jia Buping has found Liu Mang, in addition to some shark fin, abalone, and black cucumber that can be bought on the market, there are also some ingredients that are difficult for ordinary people to see, such as baby fish, hump, elephant pull, deer tendon, and flying dragon.

"What a big deal!" Liu Mang sighed.
