When the old man spoke like this, Shu Jin's face was still calm when he heard it:

"I don't know what the old gentleman wants, as long as we can do it, we will naturally be willing to serve."

The old man looked at Shu Jin for a while, then looked at Chai Yanfeng, who was a little puzzled, and finally smiled. Road:

"Hehe, I was here the other day and met the two of you once. Unfortunately, I knew that the jujube cakes in this Wenxiang Pavilion were all made by you. Later, I heard about your master competition in the same Pinge in Jiangxing County. Therefore, the old man has been yearning for your craftsmanship for a long time!

So, if you really want to be grateful, why don't you cook me a good meal! ”

Hearing this, Shu Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man, and what he saw was a face full of spirits and a pair of smiling eyes.

The old man's request was unexpected, but it was reasonable. Anyone can see that this old man is from an extraordinary background; And she and Chai Yanfeng are poor people from the mountains at first glance, if the two of them can be plotted by others, I am afraid that there is really only Shu Jin's craftsmanship.

But this old man admits so calmly that he covets the food, but he likes it very much. So, Shu Jin was very happy to respond to the old man's request. However, there is a problem with how to honor this meal.

Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng live in Shanning Village, although there are houses in the town, but the family is not complete. It's okay to deal with a meal for two people, but it's not easy to make a decent meal for the guests. Moreover, since the old man opened his mouth, Shu Jin guessed that he would not just think about eating a meal. If you eat well this meal, you may be able to become Shu Jin's God of Wealth!

But the old man had already thought about it: "That's not easy. You can borrow the stove room in this Wenxiang Pavilion. I think that they have a pot and stove here, and Shopkeeper Wu must be happy to let you use it. As for the ingredients, you can pick up the right ones. I have my own money! ”

The old man's eyes shone brightly, as if he said to Shu Jin, as long as you cook food for me, it's fine.

Erjia and Ge Yi have long been accustomed to the appearance of the master forgetting his identity when he hears the food, and Ge Yi consciously went to discuss with the shopkeeper without Shu Jin's action.

Sure enough, Ge Yi just went to the shopkeeper Wu to talk about it, and soon, the shopkeeper Wu came to the private room. Seeing Shu Jin, it was confirmed that Shu Jin wanted to borrow the stove room, and agreed without hesitation. It is even said that the ingredients consumed are considered to be a treat for Wenxiang Pavilion. I just hope that when Shu Jin cooks, other masters are allowed to watch from the sidelines.

After speaking, he seemed to feel that his request was a little excessive, and he looked worried, for fear that Shu Jin would not agree.

In fact, this is indispensable for Shu Jin. Many of the cooks of this era are family heirlooms, and some techniques are not passed on. So most people hide this, and naturally they don't want people to watch it. But in fact, many techniques are not something that can be seen twice. Therefore, even if Shu Jin has a technique to be displayed, he is not afraid of being watched.

As a result, the three parties quickly negotiated.

Shu Jin didn't procrastinate, so he went downstairs and went to the kitchen of Wenxiang Pavilion.

As for what dishes to cook, Shu Jin actually didn't think about it, and planned to see what ingredients were left in the kitchen before deciding.

Shopkeeper Wu had already instructed a chef to vacate a stove, clean it up for Shu Jin, and also assigned two young men to help her.

These chefs in the kitchen have all seen Shu Jin, and they know that Shu Jin's two pastries have made Wenxiangge earn a lot of money and popularity. So there was no objection to the arrangement of the shopkeeper Wu. At this moment, I am looking forward to seeing what kind of delicious food Shu Jin will make.

Shu Jin was not polite, counted the various ingredients in the kitchen, and finally selected the ingredients to be used:

A plate of fresh tender tofu, prawns, a live fish, pork fat, mutton, eggs, and a few portions of soup such as bone broth and chicken soup made in Wenxiang Pavilion, mushrooms, as well as some fresh vegetables and other seasonings.

Once you've chosen the ingredients, the next step is to cook. Shu Jin asked two young men to help kill the fish, and the other to help chop the pig's fat, and he began to process the shrimp.

The shrimp in Wenxiangkaku are transported from other prefectures near the sea every day, and they are very fresh. Shu Jin neatly peeled and removed the shrimp line, and then used a kitchen knife to crush the shrimp meat and chop it into minced shrimp.

In order to make it easier to cook, Shu Jin also went back to his home and took his set of knives and put them aside. Then peel and bone-break the fish that the guy had killed. Several masters watched her knife slash at the fish a few times, and then with a slight shake, the fish bone was completely removed, and the fish meat was completely removed.

This fish is the kind with few spines selected by Shu Jin, fish bone stew, the fish meat is also chopped into minced by Shu Jin, put it together with the shrimp paste, and then add egg white and an appropriate amount of pork fat and start stirring. Gradually, the fish and shrimp under his hands began to get stronger, and continued for a while, when they were full of strength, Shu Jin made them into small balls one by one, and then wrapped them in blanched lilies and made them into a flower on the plate.

The mutton is also made into meatballs in a similar way, and it is still wrapped in lilies to make it into a flower-like shape, which is placed together with the "flower" just now. For the sake of beauty, the shape of gossip was specially taken when it was placed, and a plate was steamed in a pot.

Then Shu Jin cut a piece of tender tofu and put it on his left hand, quietly, as if thinking. Several masters watched, and they didn't know what she was going to do, but they didn't bother her, but they were all waiting to watch her movements.

In fact, Shu Jin didn't move for a long time because she wanted to do such a thing, Shu Jin hadn't done it for a long time, and she didn't know if she could succeed once. So, she first cut only a small piece of tofu down, took it as an experiment, and then thought carefully about the steps.

Asking the young man to prepare a basin of water for her, Shu Jin finally began to knife the tofu.

The tofu was quite well done, smooth and moist, and it trembled slightly when it was moved slightly. However, because this tofu is very tender, everyone is even more surprised that Shu Jin can hold it in his hand and move the knife on it.

Just look at her from east to west, cutting and fiddling with the tofu at various angles, and a piece of tofu slowly becomes smaller and at the same time, it also slowly shows its shape.

Several masters couldn't help but turn from whispering to exclamation.

"I can carve it with tofu! It's a flower, right? ”

"It's amazing!"

After a while, Shu Jin finally stopped. Everyone watched her carry the piece of tofu and came to the basin. Her movements were very light, and she slowly put her whole hand and the piece of tofu into the water, and then slowly shook her arm from side to side.

Everyone also looked at it curiously.

"Huh! It's really flowers! It's a lotus! A master exhaled in surprise when he looked at it.

Others were amazed.

I saw that piece of white jade-like tofu, with the movement of Shu Jin's hand, it was washed by the water and gradually fell off one piece after another. Then, a white lotus bloomed under the water! (To be continued.) )
