"Xiaoqi, are you confused? I remember that you don't even know how to cook a dish, can you taste the quality of this plate of Dongpo meat? ”

Liu Qing questioned Ye Qi's evaluation, "You said that the heat is lacking, is it an exaggeration?" I think it's good, at least the best Dongpo meat I've ever tasted. ”

Ye Qi knew that he didn't check his tongue for a while, so he could only smirk: "Hehe, I watched a food show some time ago, and I don't want to try what it's like to be a judge." Then he continued: "Then again, whether it is from the point of view of knife work, steaming or flavor, this Dongpo meat is also a chef's work even if you look at the whole country." There is also the selection of materials, the best ingredient to make Dongpo meat is Jinhua's two-headed black, take its best piece of pork belly ribs, supplemented by Huiji Mountain rice wine, that is the best. The only thing missing is that the heat is slightly worse. However, with the previous points, I believe that this small shortcoming is also negligible. ”

Ye Qi said while reminiscing about the feeling of the Dongpo meat just now, if it is judged according to the standards of the system, the chef who makes this dish has reached the level of the peak of the master, and the system divides the level of each profession from low to high: beginner, skilled, exquisite, master, grandmaster, and holy level [the highest level of each profession, depending on the profession, the title is different] six levels.

Here, Liu Qing and the three of them were dazzled by his remarks, and they didn't know the east, west, north and south.

"Good! I didn't expect that there would be such a mouthful of diners in the world, my granddaughter's cooking skills are also good in the industry, I didn't expect that the little brother could poke the weakness just by tasting it, Wu admired and admired. ”

Just as Ye Qi was commenting on the Dongpo meat, he saw an old man with a childish face walking towards their table with a smile, and behind the old man was followed by a beautiful girl with a graceful figure but a sinister face.

"Listening to what the old gentleman said, I finally understand why there is a lack of heat in this poured Dongpo meat." Ye Qi came back to his senses and paid tribute to the old man.

"Oh? Little brother can still find the reason from my words? The old decay would like to hear about it. "The old man made a gesture of 'please speak'.

Ye Qi nodded, and talked eloquently: "As the saying goes, 'everything is negative yin and embraces yang, and the impulse is harmonious', this woman is yin and male is yang, so it is more difficult for women to achieve the ultimate in cooking skills than men." And just listening to the old gentleman's words, I understand the reason why this dish is lacking in heat. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qi glanced at the woman behind the old man intentionally or unintentionally, only to see that her face was even more angry, and hurriedly changed her words: "However, this woman is more careful than men, and among the famous chefs in ancient China, there were also strange women such as Shan Zu, Song Wusao, Dong Xiaowan, etc., as long as the granddaughter of the old gentleman works this heat control, she will definitely become another female chef god in my Chinese history in the future." ”

When the woman heard these words, the expression on her face softened a lot.

The old man was very easy-going, looked at Ye Qi and said: "Listening to the little brother's remarks, it seems that he has a deep understanding of cooking, my granddaughter's little problem in cooking, except for a few of us old guys, few people can really taste it." ”

"The old gentleman is high, I'm just more able to eat, as for the cooking skills, hehe, it's very handicap." Ye Qi touched his nose and was very modest in his words.

In Ye Qi's opinion, the old man in front of him has an extraordinary bearing, and if you look closely, you will find that the old man has thick calluses on the tiger's mouth on his left hand, and there are also some on the joints of his index finger and middle finger on his right hand. And the moment the old man approached, Ye Qi could smell the smell of oil smoke on his body, which was the smell that would only precipitate after working in the kitchen all year round. From the above characteristics, it can be inferred that this old man must be an old man in the food world.

Although Ye Qi only guessed a rough idea, it was not far off.

The old man smiled and said: "The little brother is modest, even if the little brother can't cook, this mouth alone can make you famous." ”

"Hmph, I think you're a foodie, with fine skin and tender meat on your hands, you must have never even entered the kitchen." The girl behind the old man pouted, as if she looked at Ye Qi very unpleasantly.

As soon as the girl said this, the old man's original smile was gone, and he said very sternly with a straight face: "Xiaohan, don't be rude, people are guests, how can you talk like this, don't apologize quickly." ”

"I'm sorry, hum~~" The girl was obviously still hostile to Ye Qi, and the sentence of sorry was very reluctant.

The old man sighed and said, "Little brother, don't blame, my granddaughter has been used to her parents since she was a child, although her temper is a little bigger, but her surname is not bad, so please Haihan." ”

Ye Qi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Sir, you are serious, in today's era when everyone lives with masks, it is really rare for this girl to show her true surname." ”

"It seems that the little brother has a deep understanding of life!" The old man sighed.

"Hehe, the old gentleman said that he laughed, I was a little lost in the world, what can I feel. Besides, in front of my predecessors, how can I call it an understanding in my humble opinion. In front of the old man, Ye Qi, as a junior, naturally did not dare to hold up.

"Mr. Guan is so generous, could it be that you are Wu Baiwei, the first chef in Beijing?" At this time, Zhou Chu, who had not spoken, suddenly stepped forward and said.

"Hehe, it seems that the old man still has a little name, and there are people who recognize him in the land of Yundu." The old man Wu Baiwei did not hide his identity, and said with some self-deprecation.

"That's right, the old decay is Wu Baiwei."

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect that this old man was the first chef in Beijing, Wu Baiwei, the famous imperial chef in the food world. It is rumored in the industry that he is familiar with hundreds of cuisines, and once made a table of Manchu and Han people who moved the heads of state.

You must know that as the head of a country, which is not the most profound person in the city, it is no exaggeration to say that if Mount Tai really collapses in front of them, he will not frown. However, they can be moved by the dishes made by a cook, which shows that this Wu Baiwei's cooking skills are really extraordinary.

The old man smiled, and pointed to the girl beside him and said, "This is the old granddaughter, and the little girl is stubborn, please don't be surprised." ”

And the girl is his granddaughter Wu Zihan, both grandchildren and grandchildren came to Yun to visit the youngest son who opened a restaurant here, that is, the girl's second uncle.

However, Wu Zihan has loved cooking since she was a child, especially Zhejiang cuisine, so when she arrived at the restaurant, the entire kitchen was occupied by her, as long as there were guests ordering dishes of this cuisine, she took them all by herself. And after she finished cooking, she reluctantly dragged Wu Baiwei outside to listen to the diners' comments on her dishes.

At first, hearing the diners raving about her cooking, that little vanity was greatly satisfied. But at this time, someone actually said that her Dongpo meat was not hot enough, which made the originally bursting vanity fall to the bottom in an instant, so her face was very bad when she saw Ye Qi.

At this time, Old Man Wu took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Ye Qi: "My little brother and I hit it off at first sight, if you don't dislike me, a bad old man, let's be friends for the rest of the year." If the little brother is interested in cooking in the future, I will definitely teach the old man. ”

Good guy, this old man is obviously happy to see the hunt and wants to accept Ye Qi as an apprentice. But also, there are very few people in this world who can distinguish the flavors, and maybe they won't meet one in their lifetime.

However, Wu Zihan was unhappy, seeing that her grandfather's posture clearly meant to accept others as closed disciples, and her own granddaughter was not treated so well.

You must know that the so-called closed disciple is that the master wants to teach all the mastery without reservation, can she Miss Wu not be envious, jealous and hateful!
