Chapter 126: The Secret Recipe
Dinner didn't make Liu Xing and the others wait too long, and soon one dish after another was brought in.
"Orangutan, what is your relationship with that Director Du, why does he take so much care of you, these dishes are much better than those in the banquet hall, although their dishes look exquisite
, but most of them come out of the cauldron, the taste is not good, our theses are different, I see that Director Du made it himself, this taste, I really don't have to say. ”
As soon as the big fat spoke, everyone's eyes looked at it in unison, even Yun Xi was no exception, Liu Xing saw this situation, and knew that if he didn't give an explanation today, he couldn't be good, and he had no choice but to talk about the conspiracy with Director Du in the afternoon.
"Orangutan, what do you say, it turned out that the food was passed because of the lack of employees, you didn't go outside to see, and now the students are rushing to pass the food, everyone thinks that you can get good luck if you can pass the food, and if you have good luck, you will take a few more points in the college entrance examination, for this illusory good luck, the students are going crazy."
"Really?"
"What the fat man said is not bad at all, now the students are very energetic in their work, and they all have to help us pass the dishes, so that the chefs in the kitchen don't know who to give the dishes."
Director Du's voice suddenly came, and everyone turned their heads to find that he walked in with a soup cup.
"Don't even look at me, eat vegetables. I don't have anything else here, but I have a meal, and if you think that dish is delicious, I can go and make another one for you, and everyone should not be polite to me. ”
When Liu Xing heard Director Du's words, he said: "Director Du, it's not that we are polite to you, but you are too polite, how much can we eat, this table is enough, you don't have to be busy anymore." ”
Director Du laughed and said, "How many years have I been a cook, I can see through how many things you people can eat, rest assured, I will never do too much, and I will not make you hungry." You have eaten too much greasy stuff just now, try this soup, this soup has no name, it is indeed a secret of our family, and others can't drink it lightly. ”
As soon as Da Fat heard Director Du's words, he hurriedly took out a spoon and put it in his mouth, and then he asked with a surprised face: "Director Du, what kind of soup is this, this taste, this taste, hey, forget it, I have a low level of education, and I really can't think of words to describe it, so I can summarize it in two words, absolutely." ”
As soon as everyone heard that the foodie fat man gave such a high evaluation, they couldn't help it, and directly took out the spoon and started fighting, but when they put the soup into their mouths, they revealed the same magic as the fat man, this soup is really delicious.
Liu Xing also took a sip, but he was a little curious, why should such a delicious soup be kept secret. He couldn't figure it out, and of course he couldn't ask directly, so he just thought about it alone.
"This soup!"
Yun Xi muttered, his voice was very small, but it was still heard by Liu Xing, who was relatively close, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Yun Xi, what's wrong with this soup?" ”
"Ah, this soup is familiar, I should have drunk it!"
"What, you've drunk it, won't you, didn't Director Du say that this soup is his family's secret recipe? If you don't spread it, how could you have drunk it, is it an illusion. ”
Yun Xi shook his head and said, "This is impossible, I have been known for my sensitive sense of taste since I was a child, and my grandfather said that if I wasn't a girl, I could definitely be a first-class chef." So the taste is definitely not wrong, I must have drunk it, but it has been a long time, and my memory is a little blurry. ”
It's just a soup, Yun Xi has never drunk it, it didn't attract much attention from Liu Xing, and soon he was attracted by the dishes one after another, just five minutes after the soup question passed, Yun Xi suddenly said: "I remember, it was when I was eight years old, my grandfather made me a bowl of this soup when he went to Linnan, and I remembered this taste at that time." ”
When Liu Xing heard Yun Xi's words, he felt incredible, so he said, "When you were eight years old? Wasn't that ten years ago? Are you sure that the soup you've drunk tastes the same as this one? ”
"I'm sure I'm not mistaken, and the soup has a special meaning."
"What does it mean specially?"
"Yes, this is the secret recipe of my grandfather's family, and he usually doesn't make it for others to drink, because the ancestors once had a rule that this soup can only be used to entertain relatives and nobles, which is the secret of our Chen family."
"Yunxi, this is not right, you said that this is your Chen family's secret recipe, but Director Du is surnamed Du and not Chen, could it be that your family's secret recipe has been leaked."
"I don't know."
Yun Xi also shook her head blankly, these memories were still from her grandfather when she was eight years old, and she didn't have too many family concepts since she was a child, so she didn't pay much attention to this matter, but she drank the same taste today, what was going on?
"Yunxi, you don't have to worry, do you know which ancestor passed down this secret recipe? I'll help you test that Director Du in a moment. ”
"Lin Nan Chen Jin once served as the imperial chef of the Ming Dynasty."
Yun Xi's words shocked Liu Xing a little, he didn't expect that the soup he drank turned out to be the secret of the imperial kitchen.
"The secret recipe of the imperial chef, no wonder the taste is so delicious and unique."
Liu Xing just finished sighing, Director Du walked in with another plate of dishes, Liu Xing saw Director Du enter the door, and said with a smile: "Director Du, I see that you are a senior in the kitchen world, I don't know if you know Lin Nan Chen Jin?" ”
When Director Du heard Liu Xing's question, his originally happy face instantly became solemn, and he looked at Liu Xing with a scrutinizing eye and asked, "Lin Nan Chen Jin, how did the little brother know this name." ”
"Director Du, don't look at me like that, I used to eat in a restaurant, which is somewhat similar to your craftsmanship, they said that their craftsmanship inheritance is similar to Lin Nan Chen Jin, the imperial chef of the Ming Dynasty, I am just a little curious, do you have something to do with this Lin Nan Chen Jin, I have no malicious intentions, if there is anything offended, please forgive Director Du."
When Director Du heard Liu Xing's explanation, his originally scrutinizing gaze immediately turned into great joy, and he said excitedly: "What, you said that you have seen the descendants of Lin Nan Chen Jin, where are they, you must take me to meet them." ”
Liu Xing saw Director Du's excited appearance, and hurriedly said: "Director Du, don't be too excited, I also mentioned it for a while, I will definitely take you to meet the family when I have time, but I'm curious, what is your relationship with them, I don't know if Director Du can satisfy my curiosity?" ”
Director Du glanced at Liu Xing, sighed and said: "I am also the heir of the Chen family, but in order to avoid trouble, my grandfather changed his surname to Du incognito, over the years, my old father has wanted to see the same clan again, but our family has always been thin, the last branch was in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and now I don't know where those relatives are, do you still remember that there is an outside branch!" ”
