Chapter 800: Master and Apprentice Pair
It is difficult to find a bosom friend in the world, although Yang Huairen enjoys this feeling very much, but life is like this, between bosom friends and bosom friends, maybe not people from the same world.
When it's time to leave, just a glass of wine, a look is enough, and many emotions cannot be expressed and described in words.
Chef Chen didn't need to send him off, but stood at the door of the back kitchen, watching Yang Huairen say goodbye and leave, and when the figure blurred and disappeared from his sight, the old man's tears flowed again.
The old man was not sad, but happy, he sighed that boiled cabbage, the first classic of Sichuan cuisine, appeared again, and he could still see and taste this dish in his lifetime, and he felt no regrets in his life.
It's just that I think back to the apprentice he taught, who has been working in the kitchen for decades, and he can be regarded as having good attainments, and it is okay to cook some ordinary dishes, but compared with Yang Huairen, a young man in his twenties, he feels that the gap is too big.
He turned to the apprentices behind him and asked, "You have eaten this boiled cabbage made by Yang Jungong, what do you have to say?" Do any of you understand why boiled cabbage is called the first dish of Sichuan cuisine? ”
The apprentices looked at each other, with some thoughts in their hearts, but because they were afraid of being scolded by the master, no one dared to express them.
Shopkeeper Luo is a senior brother, but his cooking skills are inferior to his third junior brother Chef Fu, so he became the shopkeeper and let his junior brother be the chef in the back kitchen of Yunjin Building.
The two of them personally participated in the production process of boiled cabbage, and if you want to talk about feelings, the two of them must have some, slowly reminiscing about Yang Huairen's production process, and also discovering some of his profound and wonderful treatments.
If you want to say these methods, there seems to be nothing, and they don't know how to use them, but they have never thought of applying them to make a certain dish, as if they can't find those details of how to use them to make food delicious.
Chef Fu, as the most skilled chef among Chef Chen's apprentices, has his own unique opinions, but he has a bit of an indescribable sense of doubt, and he has noticed some, but he can't form clear thoughts in his mind.
Chef Chen sighed helplessly when he saw that these apprentices were only lowered their heads and did not speak, or their clothes were puzzled, or they looked like they were cautious but did not dare to say anything.
"You're just bound by yourselves."
He then turned to Shopkeeper Luo and Chef Fu, "You two have seen it with your own eyes, if you have any ideas, speak up boldly, don't be afraid to say the wrong thing." ”
As the senior brother, the shopkeeper Luo can only take the lead and say first, "Yang Jungong...... He was gifted, and he had some ways of working with materials that we had never seen before. ”
Chef Chen also knew that this was reasonable, but he vaguely felt that this was because of his limited talent, so he did not teach his apprentices more, but more importantly, these apprentices would only learn by death, and did not have their own ideas and creative ability.
"What else?"
"And ...... And ......"
Shopkeeper Luo was speechless, Chef Chen stretched out his finger and pointed at him, and sighed again, "Boss, you are the most shrewd, but it's a pity that your mind is no longer on cooking......
Shopkeeper Luo felt that the master still knew him best, but after all, after he became the shopkeeper, he gradually abandoned his original cooking skills, and he felt guilty in his heart, and said ashamedly, "What the master taught is that the apprentice knows his mistake, and he will definitely find back what the master taught the apprentice when he has time in the future." ”
Chef Chen waved his hand, "Forget it, it's not that the master wants to blame you, it's just that you can find the most suitable position for you in your life, and it is in vain." Third, tell me about it. ”
After pondering for a while, Chef Fu replied, "Back to Master's words, the apprentice thinks that the superb chef of Yang County lies in the fact that he completely restored the true color of this dish in the process of making this boiled cabbage. ”
Chef Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded approvingly, "Well, among your senior brothers, you are the most talented, or do you see some way." You continue. ”
Chef Fu said slowly, "This dish, there may not be a fixed recipe at all, just like the biggest feature of our Sichuan cuisine, that is, different chefs, different techniques, this dish may have a slight difference in taste, but the taste of the essence of this dish will not change much."
In addition to finding that Yang Jungong's method is more special, there is also one point that the apprentice also feels is particularly crucial, that is, in the whole process of cooking boiled cabbage, he did not use any seasoning at all, not even a grain of salt, but completely used the original taste of the best ingredients.
That faint salty taste comes from the cloud legs, and the essence of several flavors is reasonably fused together, which is the true color of this boiled cabbage, it is this ability to fuse the essence of the ingredients into a peerless delicacy, which is the exquisite cooking skills of Yangjun Gong, and it is also the connotation of boiled cabbage to become the first dish of Sichuan cuisine. ”
Chef Chen showed the most sincere smile this time, he patted Chef Fu on the shoulder, and without saying a word, he turned around and went in......
Yang Huairen, who left, didn't look back at the building towering in the secluded bamboo forest until he walked out of Yunjin Tower, he didn't dare to look back at the old man's gaze, because he knew that such a parting, goodbye could not be said, because of this departure, he would never see this year-old friend again.
If you can meet a bosom friend, even if it is just one day to get along, it may be enough for a person's life, and there is no need to regret it, because regret is useless, it can only be endless sadness.
Chef Chen's life may soon come to an end, and his life has just begun, and there is still a lot to do if he wants to have no regrets or regrets in this life.
The scenery of Chengdu is good, but it is a pity that I can't stay longer. Yang Huairen left behind the accompanying officials, and he went out of the city in disguise, and only the five of them secretly entered Dali first.
And his 100 palace guards who served as the guards of the Qin Mission also quietly dispersed and secretly protected them, while Lian Zigeng contacted and adapted many of the original internal guards along the way to become the new Fengshenwei, and he was busy without a moment of rest.
Even so, for the sake of Yang Huairen's safety, he still dismantled more than half of the 3,000 forbidden troops accompanying him into pieces, pretended to be a local box army, and moved to the border between the Great Song Dynasty and Dali, just in case, while the 1,000 or so people left behind stayed in a separate courtyard where Qincha temporarily lived outside the city of Chengdu, so that outsiders thought that Yang Huairen was still staying in Chengdu.
