Xiao Ping has always been more respectful of the old man, and smiled at the old man: "I'm sorry, this fish is not for sale." , [Martial Law Wutian Aoye]"

The old man was disappointed and said, "Oh, it's really not for sale?"

Xiao Ping shook his head apologetically.

But the old man still didn't give up and said, "Look, there are three of them, why don't you give me one?" I'll give you 10,000! No, no, 15,000, you can help sell me one!"

Seriously, the old man's price was indeed very high, but Xiao Ping still shook his head calmly and said, "I'm really sorry, I have promised to give these fish to others, and I really can't sell them to you." ”

"You're a generous young man. The old man gritted his teeth and made a condition: "In this way, as long as you let me give me a fish, I will cook it myself and invite you to eat it together, so it's okay, right?"

When the old man put forward this condition, he looked as if he had made up his mind, as if it was more difficult for him to cook a dish himself than to get more than 10,000 yuan. Xiao Ping couldn't help but think in his heart: "Who does this old man think he is, his tone is really big!"

"Isn't this okay?" Seeing that Xiao Ping still disagreed, the old man said with a sad face: "You see, my old man is not young anymore, and I don't know how many years there are still a few years to live, young man, you can do it, let me have one, let me live another life in my lifetime!"

I didn't expect this old man to come to this hand, Xiao Ping couldn't help but feel funny when he saw it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This old man is really a foodie, he doesn't even want this old face for a swordfish." ”

However, although Xiao Ping thought so in his heart, he had a good impression of this old man. This old man looks like a "sexual" person. People like this are generally not bad people. However, Xiao Ping would not agree to sell the saury to the old man because of this, and he was just about to refuse the other party for the third time when he saw Sun Lin hurriedly coming out of the restaurant.

Sun Lin's face changed when he saw this old man, and he hurriedly walked over and said respectfully: "Master, your old man has arrived." Long time no see, how are you feeling lately?"

"Good, good!" the old man waved his hand to Sun Lin absentmindedly. His eyes were still staring at Xiao Ping and said, "Young man, you can give one to my old man, huh?"

This time, Xiao Ping was in no hurry to refuse the old man. Instead, he asked Sun Lin in surprise: "Chef Sun, ...... you Acquaintance?"

"Hehe, this is Mr. Cao Anbang. Sun Lin smiled at Xiao Ping with some embarrassment: "He is my master." ”

See Xiao Ping and Sun Lin talking. Cao Anbang happily said to his apprentice: "Xiao Linzi, do you know this young man? Great, hurry up and help me convince him and ask him to give me a live knife!"

Sun Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Master, his name is Xiao Ping, and he is my friend." As for these three living knives, I originally asked him to help get them to honor you. ”

"Ah?!" Cao Anbang was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that you just want to give these swordfish to my apprentice, ha, okay." This time my old man has a good mouth!"

"This old man is a big foodie...... looking at Cao Anbang, who was smiling, Xiao Ping secretly corrected his opinion of him.

A moment ago, Cao Anbang could only watch the knife fish drool, and he couldn't find a solution to the slander. After a while, he realized that the three swordfish were all his own, and he didn't have any conditions, so he only made the old man's face red. It is too exciting to sigh that life is up and down.

Cao Anbang, who was in a good mood, looked at Xiao Ping more and more, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The young man is good, today my old man is happy, and he personally cooks these three saury fish." Don't be in a hurry to leave, try my craft!"

Xiao Ping originally wanted to refuse, but found that Sun Lin's eyes lit up after listening to Cao Anbang's words. His face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but feel moved, and immediately smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome, waiting to taste your old craftsmanship!"

"Let's go, let's go to the kitchen now. Cao Anbang couldn't wait, and couldn't wait to walk into the Garden Hotel with a plastic water tank.

I didn't expect the old man to be so old and so anxious, Xiao Ping and Sun Lin looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and hurriedly followed. Don't look at Cao Anbang's age, but his body is really tough. Carrying a plastic water tank weighing dozens of pounds is like flying, Xiao Ping really can't keep up with him if he doesn't speed up.

The security guard of the Garden Hotel saw an old man breaking in and was about to come out to stop him, when he saw Sun Lin waving his hand behind him and motioned for him to let Old Man Cao in. In this way, the security guard couldn't tell what Cao Anbang was coming from, but after a little hesitation, the old man had already walked in front of him.

Sun Lin, who followed closely, nodded apologetically to the security guard, and followed without bothering to say anything. Xiao Ping and Sun Lin walked side by side, and asked curiously, "Chef Sun, is this old man Cao really your master?" Before you came, the old man wanted to buy my saury, and said that he would cook it himself and invite me to eat it. Judging by the tone of his voice at the time, it was as if I had taken advantage of it. ”

Xiao Ping's words made Sun Lin cry and laugh, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Alas, my master is an old naughty boy, and when he sees his favorite ingredients, he wants to get them to solve his slander, and I don't know how many jokes Lu Dao has made for this." ”

Xiao Ping smiled: "It can be seen that Old Man Cao loves to eat saury. ”

"No, I wouldn't have begged you for help. Sun Lin nodded thoughtfully, and then continued: "But don't say it, my master really didn't take advantage of you in exchange for your knifefish on the condition of cooking in person! To be honest, if your knifefish didn't happen to be favored by him, and you put tens of thousands of yuan on him, he wouldn't agree to cook in person!"

"So powerful?" Xiao Ping's turn was taken aback.

Sun Lin said proudly: "My master used to be the chief chef of Zhongnanhai, specially serving the head of the central government, and for more than 20 years, he was responsible for the state banquets of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse! In recent years, he retired when he was old, and now those chefs who serve the chief are all his disciples and grandchildren. Many restaurants offered astronomical prices, just begging him to have the title of consultant, but his old man never agreed. ”

Xiao Ping realized that Cao Anbang's origin was so big, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands and said, "In this way, it looks like I have a good mouth today, hehe!"

Just like Sun Lin said, Cao Anbang is indeed a top figure in the world of Chinese cuisine. When he walked into the kitchen, his whole person's aura immediately changed, and he faintly gave birth to a bit of momentum that looked at the world. Only when people have absolute self-confidence in a certain field will they show such a state, which is enough to show Cao Anbang's strength in this industry.

The Garden Hotel is a five-star hotel, and it goes without saying how professional its kitchen is. But in the face of such a kitchen, Cao Anbang's eyes also showed a trace of disdain, and he couldn't help but shake his head and whispered: "This meaning is almost, alas, it can only be improvised!"

At present, Cao Anbang is not ambiguous, and he rolled up his sleeves and began to clean up the saury. Sun Lin was dressed neatly and respectfully gave his master a hand beside him. Although the other chefs didn't know who Cao Anbang was, seeing that Chef Sun was willing to help this old man, they naturally knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person, and they all stood in the distance and watched Cao Anbang's movements curiously.

It didn't take long for the chefs' eyes to show surprise. The kitchen that can enter the Garden Hotel is an experienced veteran, and it is natural to see that Cao Anbang's movements are free, and he can't do it without decades of experience, which makes a chef have a little more admiration for this strange old man.

Of course, Xiao Ping couldn't see how good the old man's cooking skills were from Cao Anbang's actions, he was more concerned about the taste of the saury fish. These knifefish are all grown up under the nourishment of spiritual "liquid", and the taste is already more delicious than ordinary saury, coupled with the craftsmanship of Cao Anbang, who can be called the imperial chef, it really makes Xiao Ping look forward to it very much.

In just a few minutes, Cao Anbang had already cleaned the saury and put it in the steamer. The faster the action when killing the live fish, the more umami is retained, don't look at Cao Anbang's age, but the action is faster than most young people. Signaling Sun Lin to cover the pot, Cao Anbang breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the fish has been steamed, it is ready to be eaten just waiting to come out of the pan. Cao Anbang was about to take a break, but as soon as he turned around, he saw vegetables placed by the stove. These vegetables made the old man's eyes light up, he took a closer look at them carefully, and then took them to his nose and smelled them for a while, and then asked his apprentice, "Where did you get this dish?"

"Old man Cao, I also planted this dish. Xiao Ping smiled beside him and asked, "Can you get into your eyes?"

Some of the dishes turned out to be Xiao Ping's masterpieces, Cao Anbang glanced at him with some surprise, and then nodded appreciatively: "Very good, my old man has never seen such vegetables before." ”

Xiao Ping smiled and pouted Cao Anbang: "Since you think this dish is good, then 'Lu' will show me a look." ”

Cao Anbang was also interested, and Ha Luha smiled and said, "Okay, today I will 'show' my hand!"

Seeing that the master was going to do it himself, Sun Lin immediately got busy and personally prepared for Cao Anbang. Old man Cao was not ambiguous, in addition to the steamed saury, he made three stir-fried vegetables and one soup. One thing these dishes have in common is that they are made with ingredients from Xiao Ping Farm. As for those ordinary ingredients, Old Man Cao can't look at them at all, and naturally he won't spend effort on them.

Sun Lin and other chefs gathered around to carefully observe Cao Anbang's every move. Although Cao Anbang is not teaching them how to cook, it is very helpful for the chefs to be able to observe how the masters cook up close. Even Sun Lin looked thoughtful, and he felt that he had benefited a lot.

In contrast, Xiao Ping's thoughts were much simpler, he looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, and asked Cao Anbang a little impatiently: "Old man, can we eat?"

"Of course you can eat it!" Cao Anbang waved his hand dryly: "The dish is to be eaten freshly, why are you waiting for it, let's start!"
