Chapter 501: Li Feng's Young Past (I)
After this little episode, the dishes began to be served one after another.
The old men chatted with Li Feng's family while enjoying authentic farm food.
It's just that every time they taste a bite of a dish, they will unconsciously compare it with the dishes made by Li Feng at the beginning, and then subconsciously shake their heads and sigh.
Seeing this scene, Yu Qinghai, who was in charge of waiting on the side, felt a little depressed: "What's wrong?" Old man, is there something wrong with this dish? ”
While speaking, Yu Qinghai picked up a piece of small green vegetables and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then said with a puzzled face: "No problem!" This is still the jasper cabbage made by Master Xiao! The heat and seasoning are just right! ”
Looking at Yu Qinghai's puzzled face, several old men looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Old Man Tang said with a smile: "Xiaohai, don't worry, it's not that there is a problem with your dishes, it's our mouth that someone has raised Diao!" ”
After saying this, Old Man Tang and several other old men looked at Li Feng in unison, although they had only tasted it once or twice, but the beautiful dishes cooked by Li Feng have made several old leaves unforgettable! Even every time they taste the same dishes, they will unconsciously compare them with the dishes made by Li Feng at the beginning, and this comparison, the gap can come out!
Li Feng saw that several old men had turned their eyes to him, and he couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and shrugged his shoulders: Blame me!
"Huh?" Yu Qinghai was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face, and he looked at Old Man Tang. With an unconvinced face, he asked, "Old man, you're not joking with me, are you?" Do you mean that Xiao Feng's craftsmanship is better than that of our farm's old master Xiao? ”
"Stinky boy! Could it be that Lao Tang will still lie to you? Yu Tiangang glared at his son. bluntly said, "It's because you haven't tasted Xiao Feng's craftsmanship, if you taste it, you will know how delicious Xiao Feng's food is!" ”
Yu Qinghai saw that his father said this, and the disbelief on his face gradually disappeared, in his memory, his father would never say anything!
"Could it be that Xiao Feng's craftsmanship has reached the standard of a five-star chef?!" Yu Qinghai looked at Li Feng. His face was full of consternation, you must know that the old master Xiao of his own farm was dug by Yu Qinghai from a five-star hotel two years ago.
In the first year of digging. Although this does not guarantee that Lao Xiao's cooking skills must be the top in China, at least Lao Xiao's cooking skills are absolutely first-class!
The profession of chef is different from some emerging industries in that it focuses on talent. But more emphasis on experience.
You can't be more talented. If you haven't worked in the kitchen, you can't be better than a chef who has been working in the kitchen for 30 years!
In Yu Qinghai's view, Li Feng in front of him obviously cannot be a chef who has been trained in the kitchen, because anyone who brings back a period of time in the kitchen will be more or less contaminated with some vague smell of oil smoke.
Perhaps, ordinary people don't feel the smell of these oil smokes, but people like Yu Qinghai, who deal with the kitchen all year round, can smell it with their noses!
"Could it be that there is really a natural chef in this world?" Yu Qinghai shook his head. Shake this unrealistic idea out of his mind, of course he doesn't know. Li Feng is not a natural chef, he just has countless experiences and memories of chefs than ordinary people!
"Then again," Old Man Tang suddenly pointed at Li Feng with a smile and said to Mother Ye, "Mrs. Xiao Ye, I'm really curious, how did you cultivate such an excellent son?" He can do magic, kung fu, cook, and even the piano, I can see that he can't have a child, he can do everything! ”
"Haha!" Hearing Old Man Tang's joke, everyone in the box couldn't help laughing.
"Old man, don't praise him so much, look at this kid, this proud tail is about to go to the sky!" Mother Ye deliberately glared at her son, but the proud expression on her face couldn't be concealed.
"Actually, our husband and wife have never stepped on Ah Feng much, when he was young, my father and I were busy with work, and I had no time to take care of him, and the family couldn't afford to hire someone to take care of him, so every time we practiced the stall, we left him aside and let him play by himself."
Mother Ye paused and said: "When Xiao Feng was five years old, this little girl was born, and during the confinement, Lao Ye was still busy practicing stalls every day, and there were only me and the child at home. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, a group of old men couldn't help but be stunned, and Old Man Tang immediately asked, "Then who will take care of you in the family?" ”
"yes!" Old Man Qin said with a little dissatisfaction on the side, "Your old Ye is not doing this authentically!" What's wrong with making less money? Is it more important than a wife and children? ”
"No, old man, don't get me wrong!" Seeing that several old men misunderstood Ye's father, Ye's mother immediately explained, "At that time, the family situation was relatively difficult, and the income every day was only enough to subsidize the family, and the little girl was born again, if you don't go out to practice the stall, I'm afraid the family will starve!" ”
"Hey......" After listening to Ye Mu's words, several old men nodded silently, they naturally understood the situation of Li Feng's family at that time.
Old Man Qin immediately asked with concern, "Then how did you sit here this month?" ”
"Well, it's not thanks to this kid!" Mother Ye snorted at Li Feng, with a trace of indelible tenderness and emotion on her face, "I don't know where this child learned it, during my confinement, he began to cook things for me every day, sometimes barley rice, sometimes red bean porridge, and sometimes glutinous rice porridge, I'm afraid that I will eat too light, he will also be accompanied by sesame oil pork liver, flower pig trotters, tofu fish soup and some vegetables and fruits, seven days a week, every day without repeating ......"
Yu Qinghai couldn't help but say coldly: "Huh? You said Xiao Feng was only six years old at the time, right? He's so small, he's not as tall as a stove, right? How to cook? ”
Everyone looked at Li Feng, Li Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "At that time, there happened to be a small stool at home, so I stepped on the small stool and cooked it on the side of the stove." ”
After listening to Li Feng's words, such a picture suddenly appeared in everyone's minds: a six-year-old child stepped on a small stool, tiptoed, supported the stove with one hand, and waved the spatula with the other, sweat dripping down from his smooth and small forehead, but the little baby didn't care, looking at the dishes in the pot seriously and intently, for fear that it would be fried!
Unconsciously, the eyes of the old men looking at Li Feng became softer and softer, and those soft eyes were full of admiration and emotion!
Yu Qinghai couldn't help but ask, "I said Xiao Feng?" Where did you learn so many dishes? And those pork livers, pig trotters, etc., it should have been considered expensive food at that time, right? Your family ......"
Oh, yes! Several old men came back to their senses, according to what Ye Mu said before, the situation of the Ye family was not very good at that time, if it was said that it was still affordable to open meat occasionally, but according to what Ye Mu said, Li Feng seemed to be stewed with pig's trotters, fish soup or something every once in a while, which doesn't make sense!
"Well," seeing that everyone's eyes were all on him, Li Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Regarding dishes or something, I learned from my neighbor's aunt, who thought I was small at that time and was afraid that I would have an accident if I used oil, so she only taught me some stewed dishes." ”
"As for those foods and vegetables," Li Feng smiled and said, "At that time, my mother slept for a long time during confinement, and every time my mother slept, I would go to the nearby vegetable market to help the uncles and aunts who sold meat inside clean up the countertops, and then as a reward, they would give me some leftover meat, fish, etc., and that's how those foods came from!" ”
Listening to Li Feng's narration, such a picture once again appeared in everyone's minds.
But anyone who has been to the vegetable market knows that the fishy smell is not to mention how heavy it is, but Li Feng, who is only six years old, insists on helping to clean up the garbage and dirt there, which makes everyone's noses sour for a while, Ye Mu and Ye Xiaoyu's eyes are even red, and tears are falling down!
