On the earth before Li Yu's rebirth, was Chinese cuisine famous? Of course, but to be honest, in the food system, Chinese cuisine or Oriental cuisine did not have a status that matched fame.

Before its rebirth, what was the recognized rating system in the restaurant industry? It was the Michelin certification system in the West! Although this system was only for restaurants, in the chef world, the star rating of a restaurant was equivalent to the rating of the chef.

As for the domestic chefs in Huaxia, unless they are hired by foreign bosses with a lot of money, if you want to go abroad for development, sorry, please take the European and American full-time chef certificate again.

You may not believe it, but the Portman Ritz-Carlton Hotel, one of the only three platinum five-star hotels in China, went to Paris in 2014 to participate in a food exhibition, and was asked to start as a trainee chef to certify.

After the master returned to China, Li Yu once went to visit him in the magic capital, the original high-spirited national super-chef, only two weeks to be completely white, fifty-five years old, looking like an ancient rarity.

Similarly, in European and American countries, although Chinese cuisine is not small, the price of its popularity is rarely known.

Have you ever eaten Mao Xuewang wrapped in butter? Have you ever seen Zuo Zongtang's chicken with sweet and sour sauce? Have you ever heard of braised pork dipped in tomato sauce? In 70 percent of Chinese restaurants, these are the Chinese dishes that foreigners like, and they basically don't use chopsticks.

In Mississippi, the law even requires Chinese restaurants to be paired with knives and forks — Japanese oden, which resembles hot pot, is completely in accordance with neon rules, without any matching knives and forks.

Looking at the country, sashimi must be dipped in mustard, and steak must be forked left and right.

The historical reasons are very complex, to put it bluntly, it is because the status of Chinese cuisine in the food system is not enough.

Li Yu has fantasized about such a scene countless times: in a Sichuan hot pot restaurant abroad, more than a dozen old people are bare-armed around a table, one of them stands on a chair with one foot, gnaws on pig's trotters with one hand, and the other hand neatly takes out a piece of chopsticks shabu mutton from the hot pot that is tumbling in red oil and stuffs it into his mouth......

That scene....... It's so beautiful, but it's a pity that I can only see it in my dreams.

But in this world, all this is possible!

................

Back to the hotel in front of you, this big hotel called 'Dongyuan', although the level is only four stars, but the scale decoration has completely reached the standard of a five-star hotel.

Next to Dongyuan Hotel is an antique city, and it is also the largest antique trading market in Tree City, Li Yu hurriedly passed by the west gate of the antique city, and found that a group of people gathered in a vacant lot in the antique city, as if they were watching something.

Most of them were disputes over buying fake antiques or something, Li Yu was about to continue his journey, when a childish female voice suddenly came out of the crowd, "This is really a hoof recipe, uncle, you can give the price a little higher, please!"

Li Yu stopped when he heard this, thinking that this was Tree City, and a famous dish of Tree City flashed in his mind: Broken shop hooves!

Someone is actually selling recipes for hooves? Li Yu suddenly couldn't help it, and walked quickly to the edge of the crowd.

In the center of the crowd stood three people: a little girl of about eleven or twelve, a middle-aged man with a stereotyped face, and a young man in a suit with glasses.

The girl was still early in adulthood, and I don't know why she was alone here, she was very beautiful, with fair and pink cheeks and curly hair, like a little angel.

There was a tear mole in the corner of the little girl's eye, looking at this tear mole, gradually, the delicate little face in front of her slowly coincided with a certain face in Li Yu's memory, and he murmured: "No, it's such a coincidence......

The little girl had messy hair and tear stains in the corners of her eyes, pleading bitterly in front of the two men in front of her.

In the open space, the middle-aged man glanced at the little girl with disdain, and said loudly: "Yu Mou grew up in Shucheng since he was a child, he has been in charge of the spoon for thirty-one years after leaving the school, and he was promoted to the third section seven years ago....... Manager Lin, three hundred yuan can't be more. ”

The young man in the suit nodded, and showed a formulaic smile at the little girl: "Little sister, we can only pay three hundred yuan for this recipe, if you want to sell it, we can pay you now." ”

Looking at the little girl's somewhat shabby clothes in front of her, Manager Lin sighed helplessly: "Little sister, you get what you pay for, the price of the recipe really can't be higher, if you need help...... I can help you contact the TV station and see if I can use social forces to help you solve your difficulties. ”

Listening to Manager Lin's words, the little girl's expression immediately dimmed a little, this recipe was found in a small box at home, but she didn't expect it to sell for only three hundred yuan....... Forget it, 300 is 300, enough for Dad to do dialysis one more time.

Outside the crowd, Li Yu's brows became tighter and tighter, and when the little girl was about to hand over the recipe, he suddenly spoke: "Who said that this recipe doesn't exist? Who said that pig's feet can't be made into a delicacy? The hooves of the 470-year-old Shucheng Broken Shop are only worth 300 yuan in your mouth?"

The onlookers separated from the outside to the inside, and Li Yu slowly walked inside: "The hooves of Shucheng started in the Jiajing period of Ming Shizong, and then passed through several hands for a hundred years, and finally passed to Zhu Zifang in the third lane and seven lanes of Shucheng in the early 20th century, a dilapidated shop. ”

Li Yu paced to the little girl's side, put his hands behind him, and said: "The broken shop is a food restaurant in the three lanes and seven lanes, because the owner takes simplicity as the style, only cares about the dishes, and is busy, and the store is in tatters, but the store is always full every day. This is the record in the Shucheng County Chronicle, which is located in the third paragraph of the so-called 'non-existence', where does it come from?"

"You ....." the middle-aged man raised his hand and pointed at Li Yu, and was about to speak, Li Yu turned around sharply after parting his hands, and looked at the onlookers, "As for the pig's trotters, it seems to be made, but it is actually delicious, pig's trotters are rich in macromolecular collagen, which can promote the absorption and storage of water by skin cells after these collagen are absorbed by the human body. ”

"In the dish rating, Dongpo's elbow is rated as seven-grade, and there were rich people in the imperial capital who offered two million for Dongpo's elbow recipes, although the broken store's hooves are not as famous as Dongpo's elbow," Li Yu turned his head to look at Manager Lin, who was a little dazed, and showed a teasing smile, "But such a century-old famous dish, how can it not be so cheap for three hundred yuan, right?"
