Chapter 5 Self-cultivation of foodies
"Trouble, help me redo it again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Lin Ke tasted the Wensi tofu in the soup. Said politely to the waiter. It's a pity that the waiter feels more unreasonable.
And Zhou Bin was silently eating oxtail on the side, and he didn't even have the heart to see Lin Ke pretending to be X.
Finally, when Wensi tofu was served for the third time, Lin Ke knew. Lao Wei is back. Lin Ke knowingly asked the waiter, "Did Chef Wei do it?" After getting the answer, he nodded and didn't speak again.
After Lin and Zhou didn't have anything to eat, they almost wiped out a few dishes on the table, and Lin Ke finally saw Lao Wei's familiar figure.
Wei Guohua looks like he is in his early fifties, a little more than 1.7 meters tall, wearing a spiritual small stand collar, and a smile on his face. Followed by a little apprentice with an unconvinced face, nearly half a head taller than Wei Guohua, the master, Lynch.
Lin Ke hurriedly stood up and pulled Zhou Bin over. Send Zhou Renli's thoughts and greetings. Wei Guohua naturally did not slack off, and after introducing each other, the four of them began to sit down and chat.
"Mr. Lin really gave us a surprise, I thought someone was coming to kick the gym at first. Wei Guohua said this, but the expression on his face did not mean the slightest surprise.
"You're polite, we're all your juniors, it's okay if you call me Lin Ke or Xiaolin. We also know that you are old and generous, so we made such a little joke, and I hope Lynch will not be angry with us. The second half of the sentence was addressed to Lynch.
"Oh, this joke is kind of funny, how do you know that the first two times were made by my apprentice, tell me about it. Wei Guohua said politely, but Lin Ke knew that if he couldn't say anything, he would really become a troublemaker.
"If you always test me, then I will be ugly, you always look at the dishes on the table. Steamed sea bass, roasted yellow flowers, braised oxtail, and a dish of garlic broccoli. Then the soup we ordered was Wensi Tofu. ā
Lin Ke looked at Lynch, who was unconvinced but curious, and Wei Guohua, who nodded with a smile, and continued:
"Individually, the dishes were perfectly cooked, but this Wensi tofu was a little problematic. ā
"What kind of flowers, if there is any problem, hurry up. Lynch just looked at him on the side, was glared at by Wei Guohua, and still muttered quietly.
"Wensi tofu, the key to making this dish well lies in the knife work, and it takes hard work to cut the tofu until it is as thin as a hair. Lynch, your knife skills are great, even better than Wei Lao. And you have also made improvements on this Wensi tofu, on the basis of the original umami, but also added the flavor of sea fish, river fresh and mutton, it should be changed in the pepper, the flavored pepper powder attached to the tofu shreds, it is indeed a thought. But herein lies the problem. ā
Lin Ke pointed to the dishes on the table: "Obviously, the person who ordered the dish had already made a match from the beginning, and he had already ordered two dishes." The original meaning of the tofu is pointed. It's more about the umami of the tofu in the dish itself. And the change you made, although wonderful, conflicts with the original intention of the order.
"Got it, kid. Don't spend all day with your eyes like the sky. Wei Guohua laughed and patted Lynch's head. "Xiaolin, you have a lot of research on eating, you must come often if you have nothing to do, help me kill this kid's arrogance. I think I would have taken him a few senior brothers......"
Lin Ke looked at Lao Wei, who couldn't be restrained when he talked about it, and while nodding his head yes, he thought to himself that it was fortunate that they didn't know about the grievances between himself and Lynch, otherwise he would definitely despise his obscene intentions. With Lynch's talent, coupled with Lao Wei's cultivation regardless of the cost of work, it only takes two or three years. In the field of eating, I can only clap my hands and teach well.
Of course, the purpose of coming to Lao Wei this time, in addition to reminiscing about the past, is also to ask for Lao Wei's baby.

"Aunt Jiang, this pot (), what is in it is what you mentioned before. That eggplant, this is Fangzi. The clay pot was originally intended to be a gift for you, but this time I used it first in order to hold the eggplant, so I hope you don't mind. ā
Lin Ke was in the house near Jiang's Dongda, with that familiar politeness and a slightly honest smile on his face. Said politely to the middle-aged woman opposite.
This Aunt Jiang is someone Lin Ke has to please, because she is Park Junfeng's future mother-in-law and the mother of Lin Ke's sister-in-law Jiang Zhenxiu. Kang Jung-so's father, Kang Myung-cheol, was one of the few cultural celebrities from Jeju Island and is said to be a writer and calligrapher. At the level of Lin Ke who has only watched Korean movies at most, it is obvious that he can't feel his level. But Kang has always been fond of Chinese culture. This is largely the reason why Lin Ke has always had a good impression of them in his previous life.
Lin Ke was talking, and Jiang Mingzhe, who received the news, also pushed the door in. After Lin Ke got up and said hello, he began to introduce the food in this pot.
"This eggplant is from "Dream of Red Mansions". But at the Cao Mansion family banquet in the Cao Yin era, there was also this dish. Seeing that Jiang Mingzhe, a fan of the Red Mansion, was also attracted to it, how could Lin Ke resist not continuing to show off, and continued:
"It is recorded in "Red Mansions" that the method of eggplant is to peel the eggplant, leaving only the eggplant meat. Dice and fry with chicken fat. After oiling, mix with chicken breast, mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced tofu and diced dried fruits. Simmer in chicken broth, then reduce the juice with sesame oil, and mix with the oil. In this way, after the process is finished, it can be sealed and eaten at any time. However, the book does not explain the proportions of the various ingredients. Fortunately, there is a group of chefs in China who are restoring the dishes of the old recipes. This recipe is the best taste they have developed. ā
Obviously, Lin Ke's rhetoric made the Jiang couple look at the pot on the table with satisfaction. After Aunt Jiang and Jiang Mingzhe glanced at each other, she praised Lin Ke for having a heart, and took the pot into the kitchen. When he said that he had a heart, he gave Lin Ke a look that only the two of them could understand.
For a woman who loves to make soups, there are two things that are the most valuable, one is a good bag and the other is a good pot. The container that Lin Ke used to hold the eggplant was one of the best pots in '08.
Lin Ke sorted out his emotions, and was about to show his acting skills to Jiang Mingzhe and make a big move for Park Junfeng, when a burst of laughter like a silver bell came from the door......
