There is a well-known cook in Qindao City, named Zhang Zhihe. A few years ago, Zhang Zhihe got the guidance of a senior by chance, and his cooking skills were slightly successful. Later, he took out the silver taels he had accumulated for many years and opened a restaurant, named "Yuxiang Building".

On the day of opening, the restaurant was lit up and down, and gongs, drums and firecrackers shook the sky. Zhang Zhihe asked the guy to post a couplet on the door of the restaurant. Scold! It's all amazing. I saw that Shanglian: the four major cuisines are all refined; Downlink: Tiannan, Haibei will do everything; Banner: Food in the World.

The tone is not small, but I don't know if this chef who boasts about Haikou has a few brushes? What people didn't expect was that Zhang Zhihe stubbornly relied on his ingenuity and hard work in the past few years to make all the dishes requested by the guests, and they were also fresh and plump, with color, fragrance and taste. Diners were amazed and applauded.

On this day, just after noon, Li Chengzong's private visit passed by Yuxiang Building, and when he saw the couplet, he sneered, this breath is really big, Li Chengzong is an out-and-out foodie, he has eaten many delicacies, but he has never seen such a big chef, no, I have to teach him a lesson.

Based on such an idea, as soon as Li Chengzong walked into the restaurant, he greeted Xiao Er: "Is it true that your family is in charge of 'all the four major cuisines are refined, and all the world, the sea and the north can be cooked'?" ”

"My chef said that if there is a dish he can't cook, the couplet at the door will be taken off. During the opening of my Yuxiang Building, there were many customers who wanted to pick it, but unfortunately no one had this ability. ”

Zhang Zhihe smiled and raised his voice and said, "Haha, good!" Then give me a 'three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo' first. Xiao Er replied: "Guest officer, just take a look!" ”

After a while, Xiao Er walked out of the back kitchen in a hurry, with an extra plate of "Peach Blossom Dotted Crimson" in his hand. The surrounding diners saw it and hurriedly gathered around.

Scold! Zhang Zhihe's dish is really flattering, he uses a plate painted with green bamboo, and three peach blossom cakes with a little bright red are placed next to it. Not to mention, it really tastes so good! Xiao Er was a little proud, and asked, "Guest officer, do you see, is it to your liking?" What's next? ”

Li Chengzong looked at this dish and said, "There is also a bit of cleverness. Okay, this time he's prevaricating. Second, I want to ask for 'Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet'. ”

"Good!" It didn't take long for Xiao Er to come out of the back kitchen, only to see him whispering a few words to a guy, and saw the guy hurrying out of the building with a wooden bucket and a vegetable basket.

After a while, I saw the guy come back with a bucket of water and a basket of vegetables. After a while, a fresh fragrance wafted from the back kitchen, and just smelling it made people salivate. After a while, Xiao Er cautiously stepped forward with a large casserole and said, "Guest officer, look. ”

Xiao Er lifted the lid of the casserole, and a thick fragrance with a steaming heat emitted out. I saw that in the casserole, a few pieces of golden duck meat with skin floated leisurely on the water, which was very beautiful, and there was really a little bit of duckling in the water; The side dishes of the casserole are fresh and green, and there is also a bit of the taste of willows fluttering in the wind by the river; The soup is bright yellow, giving people a feeling of fullness and thickness.

At this time, Xiao Er put down a small stove and put the casserole on it. Li Chengzong looked at the casserole, and his eyes changed from indifferent at the beginning, a little more doubtful, and then turned into a trace of joy. He thought that Li Chengzong was also impressed by Zhang Zhihe's cooking skills, and then said: "Guest officer, I think you should stop like this?" ”

"What's the hurry? I just ordered two dishes, you served a snack, a soup, and the main course hasn't been cooked yet, so how can I eat it? ”

Xiao Er was a little indifferent, and at the same time, with some expectations, he said, "Then what else do you want to call?" As he spoke, he glanced at the casserole, only to hear "goo-goo-goo", presumably the duck soup was boiling.

Li Chengzong thought for a while and said, "It's very simple, then let's have another plate of 'Artemisia full of reed buds, and a plate is when the puffer fish is ready to be served'." ”

Xiao Er laughed and said, "I knew it was these two sentences." My housekeeper has already commanded it. You see, it's just the right time. Xiao Er lifted the lid of the pot, and the slightly boiling duck soup was steaming. Suddenly, I saw pieces of white puffer fish meat churning up from the bottom of the pot. This posture is really like a puffer fish swimming in the water, flying up and down, and it is really "just when the puffer fish wants to go"!

Xiao Er had a smug expression on his face, he glanced at Li Chengzong, and said: "'Artemisia is full of short reed buds', I don't think I need to say it!" You know, guest officer. ”

Li Chengzong nodded, with a slight smile. He picked up the bamboo chopsticks and scooped them in the casserole, which were just a few seasonal vegetables in spring, no more, no less, just five kinds.

Xiao Er continued: "The person in charge of my family has long expected that what you are reciting is the masterpiece of His Royal Highness the King of Han, as his subjects, how can the person in charge of the spoon not ...... He asked me to send a guy to fetch water and fresh vegetables, which is exactly what he thought would happen. ”

Hearing this, Li Chengzong shook his head, and he said: "But what I want is the main dish, and your family is only looking for superficial work, which will be wrong." Well, I'll let him go back and forth that there is a saying, 'Ants go up trees, monkeys climb poles'. For the last course, let him bring me a 'monkey pole climbing'. However, I have one request, I have to let your family take charge of the scene to make it. ”

Xiao Er was a little surprised, thinking that this can't stop you? However, he was absolutely confident in Zhang Zhihe's cooking skills, and replied: "Okay, guest officer! But I'll have to ask the chef first. After speaking, Xiao Er walked leisurely to the back kitchen.

Zhang Zhihe is young and vigorous, and he does it on the spot. He beckoned his men to bring in the kitchen utensils, prepare the ingredients, and start cooking. Li Chengzong stood aside and watched quietly. I saw Zhang Zhihe first cut the baked white flour cake "ε™Œε™Œε™Œ" into thin strips, then beat the egg liquid and the cut cake strips evenly, poured them into the oil pot, stir-fried together, and finally, put in the condiments, and stir-fry evenly.

After a while, I saw a plate of monkey climbing pole cake strips out of the pot, golden in color, soft and fragrant. The onlookers all applauded. Zhang Zhihe walked up to Li Chengzong with a plate and said confidently: "This monkey climbing pole is both virtual and real, moving and static, and it can be regarded as a famous dish." Guest, you have really seen something extraordinary. ”

But Li Chengzong didn't even look at this dish, so he teased: "Are you ready?" You have a monkey and a pole, but why don't I see a monkey climbing a pole? I want you to do it on the spot, the mystery is the secret, you can figure it out yourself. And, you little monkey, why don't you even have eyes, hahaha? ”

"This ......" Zhang Zhihe was speechless.

"This real monkey climbing pole is actually like this." Li Chengzong ordered his men to bring fresh shrimp, bamboo shoots, and a few condiments. Li Chengzong picked up a knife to cut bamboo shoots, compared with Zhang Zhihe, Li Chengzong's knife work is slower and softer, but the bamboo shoots cut out are very neat........

Li Chengzong poured the bamboo shoots into the pot, the bamboo shoots "crackled", and a refreshing fragrance emanated out. This fragrance, compared to the previous monkey climbing pole, has a more cool and fragrant feeling. A few minutes later, Li Chengzong put the fried bamboo shoots on the plate, and then he picked up the oil pan again, sprinkled the condiments into the pot, and in an instant, the strange fragrance overflowed.

Next, Li Chengzong put in the bamboo shoots again, stir-fried and mixed evenly, and then quickly poured the live shrimp into the pot, only to see that the live shrimp could not stand the high temperature frying, and the shrimp feet were naturally bent, and it was actually holding the bamboo shoots and jumping upward. A pair of small shrimp eyes really give people a strange feeling of a little monkey playing on the pole, but it is just like the "monkey climbing the pole"!

"Good!" Inadvertently, more and more people gathered around, and the tidal wave of applause came from all directions. Li Chengzong put this real monkey climbing pole in front of Zhang Zhihe. Zhang Zhihe looked stunned, and the back was red, and he couldn't wait to dig a hole and get in.

"The shopkeeper is full of losses and humble benefits. A person can have arrogance, but he can't have the narrowness of self-respect, and your intention to cook is not to retreat. If you don't have a mind, no matter how good the color and fragrance are, what can you do? In the end, he couldn't resist the cold-faced judge of 'taste'. ”

Only then did Zhang Zhihe react, and Li Chengzong's lesson was even more incisive. Zhang Zhihe was like an initiation, and he hurriedly saluted. But when he raised his head, Li Chengzong had already blended into the crowd and disappeared. Only a plate of "monkey climbing poles" was left, steaming hot on the table, and the shrimp feet seemed to be moving!
