Chapter 73: All Things Come to Life
The old ancestor sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, looked at Li Gengxin in front of him with a warm face, listened to the words in his mouth, and explained the method of making zuò with boiling water cabbage in great detail. subconsciously asked; "Do you know how this soup is made?"
Li Gengxin casually said that the method of "boiling water" of making zuò boiling water cabbage has always been in the hands of the most senior chefs. But listen to the ancestors ask themselves. Li Gengxin's voice softened, and he asked the God of Food in his heart, "That's it!" How exactly does this "boiling water" come out? Don't sell it! ”
The God of Food impatiently explained the method to Li Gengxin, and muttered in ink: "This immortal thing, we have to sum it up!" ”
Li Gengxin didn't know that this matter was important, but his eyes crossed the faces of Yang Hongli and the ancestor, and at the same time, he didn't know that he had to go through this hurdle in front of him?
"Li Gengxin, why don't you speak. Will you be at all? I don't know...... I know," Yang Hongli lowered his voice and muttered to Li Gengxin.
Li Gengxin nodded slightly, and after forcing his heart to calm down, he said: "This boiling water making is mysterious, but it is actually not difficult. Now there are actually a lot of Chinese methods on the Internet, some of which are reliable, and some of which are not the same as the horse's mouth. ”
The old ancestor asked Li Gengxin with great interest, "So, you know?" ”
Li Gengxin nodded and said, "Well, I know." Just add ......"
"Well, you don't have to tell me! How about tasting it? The old ancestor smiled at Li Dabao and said. The chopsticks pointed to the cabbage in between.
Li updated the door Qing'er that he said, but don't say it himself. I've never heard much of it. If it weren't for the God of Food, I would have to be embarrassed and thrown home today.
Pick up a piece of cabbage stamens. Put it in your mouth and eat a few bites. In my heart, I asked the god of food, "This seems to be listening, huh?" It doesn't seem to be as delicious as the legend says, right? ”
The voice of the God of Food echoed in Li Gengxin's ears and said, "This is garbage, what boiling water cabbage?" It has nothing to look like. What is actually made is not like that at all. ”
"Huh? It's so bad! Li Gengxin was surprised for a while, and he actually said what was in his heart casually.
The smiling face of the old ancestor froze on his face. He looked at Li Gengxin in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?" Update that you have something to say......"
"Oh, no...... It's nothing. Li Gengxin hurriedly raised his head and grinned at the old ancestor.
What is hidden in front of the old ancestors, how can Li Gengxin's careful thinking be able to hide it?
"Is there a problem with this boiling water cabbage?" Old Ancestor Chong Li Gengxin asked.
Li Gengxin nodded subconsciously, and then hurriedly shook his head.
Yang Hongli couldn't watch it from the sidelines. Lang Sheng said: "Li update." Don't talk nonsense! knows that this boiling cabbage is the famous Sichuan cuisine master Zhang Huaijunchuang.
He is a Taoist priest. The nose owner of Chengdu's local catering "Shaocheng faction". The ancestor learned the famous dish from others. You still say there's something wrong with this dish? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, don't be embarrassed in front of your ancestors! ”
Li Gengxin grinned, pursed his lips and did not speak.
The old ancestor looked at the look in Li Gengxin's eyes. The frown that was only furrowed gradually relaxed. Then he said, "Is there really something wrong with this dish?" ”
Yang Hongli hurriedly squeezed his eyes at Li Gengxin next to him, and said, "If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand in front of the ancestors!" ”
The old ancestor grinned and said casually: "This old Chengdu Sichuan cuisine is divided into southern and northern styles: the southern school is the "Shaocheng Restaurant" school with Zhang Huaijun and Zhang Decheng's uncle and nephew. It mainly serves the official eunuchs and grand mansions in the original Chengdu Shaocheng. Because it is a shopkeeper and has its own restaurant, it belongs to the "boss faction".
The northern faction is dominated by Lan Guangjian, Kong Daosheng, and Zeng Guohua, and the "Rong Yuan" faction in Buhou Street, and the northern faction is dominated by masters and apprentices. It mainly receives merchants from Huaxing Street and commercial fields to negotiate business. Because he is a chef and a master and apprentice, he is called a "master school".
Zhang Huaijun is the owner of the famous "Shaocheng Restaurant" in Chengdu. After the liberation, the capitalists accepted the socialist transformation and were "controlled", five or six years of public-private partnership, five or eight years after the establishment of the Chengdu Catering Company was rated as Sichuan cuisine [special first-class] chef, once served as the chef of Chengdu restaurant and Sichuan restaurant.
When Deng Xiaoping stayed in Chengdu in 62, he watched Sichuan opera, tasted Sichuan cuisine and ate snacks. For the first time in the commercial field of the original dragon handicraft shop, I tasted a table of banquet hosted by Master Zhang Huaijun for him, and all the Sichuan dishes included "Boiling Water Cabbage", Xiaoping praised it after eating: Good food!
Chengdu snacks are served by Master Fu Songcheng, a first-class white case master. Traditional snacks: water chestnut cake, horse red root, jade cake, pearl yuanzi.
During the banquet, there are four dishes, one soup and four snacks: palace fried pork dice, boiled pot meat, bean dregs and pig's head, smooth pork slices, chicken heart, that is, vermicelli soup; Two vegetarian vegetables, boiled cabbage and pheasant mixed with three shreds.
After Deng Lao made a comeback, Master Zhang Huaijun also took off his hat. In 80 years, I was transferred to Beijing and worked as a chef in the Sichuan Hotel in Beijing, which was the boiling cabbage I learned from Master Zhang at that time. ”
Yang Hongli has never heard his ancestor mention this past. After all, the ancestors said about the eighties. Although he is also a post-80s generation, he is the only one who is in the tail of the 80s.
When the ancestor learned to boil water cabbage from Master Zhang. My dad isn't married yet!
"Did you hear it, I learned it from the founder of boiling water cabbage, and you still say that you are not authentic, isn't it a pig's nose with green onions? Don't pretend to understand! Yang Hongli was scolding Li Gengxin in his mouth, but he was actually defending him in and out of his words.
Li Gengxin nodded at this time and said: "I have always heard that Grandpa Deng will go to the Sichuan Hotel whenever he entertains his Sichuan national leaders or foreign guests and distinguished guests, and let Chef Zhang take the helm. This boiling cabbage will be ordered at every feast. It's just that your boiling cabbage is really a bit of a problem. "Since the god of food told him that there was a problem with this dish, the old lady did take out the dish that she knew was a little different. Li Gengxin felt that it was better to say it!
Far from being angry, the old ancestor showed a smile between his eyebrows. Looking at Li Gengxin and asked, "Will you make this boiling cabbage?" ”
"Me?" Li Gengxin opened his mouth suddenly, he was just planning to play tricks. I didn't expect the ancestors of others to ask themselves like this.
The voice of the God of Food, at this time, said appropriately in Li Gengxin's ear: "Sue her, you can do it too!" ”
"I can do ......" Li Gengxin was a little frightened when he spoke.
"Good! In fact, my boiling cabbage is one step less, I do intend to try you, I didn't expect it to really make you appear! The old ancestor nodded at Li Gengxin with a relieved expression on his face and smiled.
Yang Hongli frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Ancestor, let's ...... Is there really a step missing in our dish? Saying this, he subconsciously picked up the soup spoon and scooped a mouthful of soup, tasted it and said, "No problem!" Why do I think it's still so delicious? ”
Li Gengxin suddenly wondered and hurriedly asked, "Grandma, what do you say...... You said you cooked it yourself? ”
The old ancestor nodded!
"Update, now that you can see there's something wrong with this dish. There is also an ingredient in the kitchen, you can also burn paper and boil water cabbage for me to see. Little Red Carp has been complimenting me on you, and I want to see what level of your cooking skills are! After the old ancestor finished speaking, he stood up and said to Yang Hongli: "Hongcarp, you take the update to the kitchen to prepare." ”
Li Gengxin listened to the words of the old ancestor, and at this time, he was like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting. In his heart, he complained to the god of food: "Great god! Didn't you cheat me? Now we don't have happiness value, how do I make this boiling water cabbage? Isn't this fatal? ”
"Do you care a lot about what the Yang family thinks of you?" The God of Food suddenly asked Li Gengxin.
"Of course I do!" Li Gengxin didn't think about it, and responded in his heart.
The God of Food smiled, and asked Li Gengxin again: "Do you really care what the Yang family thinks of you, or do you care about face?" Or is it that little carp? You don't want to lose your name as the god of food in front of her, do you? ”
Li Gengxin was stunned, the question he didn't want, didn't want to, and didn't dare to touch in his heart was suddenly torn apart by the God of Food.
Li Gengxin was silent and did not speak.
The old ancestor and Yang Hongli showed Li Gengxin's tangled look at this time at the same time.
Yang Hongli was slightly stunned, not knowing what Li Gengxin was going to do? And the old ancestor did not doubt it, and quietly looked at Li Gengxin.
Li Gengxin is really in trouble now! I complained a few words to the God of Food in my heart. Immediately stunned, after listening to the God of Food, he asked in surprise: "No need for happiness value, are you sure it's okay?" ”
"What's the problem, so many happiness points have been given to you to exchange huàn cooking skills and cooking methods, don't you know that you have already mastered it?" The voice of the God of Food was not loud, and it echoed in Li Gengxin's ears like a fairy sound.
Li Gengxin was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously muttered: "Integration? You say I've got it all ......."
Yang Hongli reached out and dragged Li Gengxin at this time and said, "Li Gengxin, what's the matter?" I'll take you to the kitchen! You're coming with me......"
Li Gengxin came back to his senses and looked at Yang Hongli in front of him and the old ancestor sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai on the side. His mouth cracked, and he nodded at Yang Hongli with a bitter face.
The old ancestor whispered to the backs of Yang Hongli and Li Gengxin, you go and prepare first, and I will go to the kitchen......
Inside the kitchen of the Yang family's mansion.
Li Gengxin looked at the "small" but well-equipped kitchen of the sparrow, and his heart was shocked again.
If Yang Mingdian's kitchen is a villa-level boutique kitchen, then the kitchen of the ancestor here is the imperial dining room in the Forbidden City.
In the meantime, the head chef here is leading people to clean up, and the ingredients for a boiling cabbage are placed next to the vegetable mound. (To be continued!)
