Although the Gaodeli brothers had a lot to talk to Zhong Hao, they still had to do business in the store at night, and they needed to arrange it, so by the way, they arranged a reception banquet to greet Zhong Hao, so they chatted with Zhong Hao for a while, and then went back to the store in advance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for the Lu family and Zheng Xin'er, they didn't go with them, they waited for the evening to go to the natural residence with Fu Ruozhu and them.

Xiaohuzi was very interested in his master, and did not participate in the women's chat, but followed Zhong Hao's buttocks, pestering Zhong Hao to tell about the situation when he was in the northwest and the south. Children at this age are always full of curiosity about this kind of thing.

Zhong Hao is still embarrassed that he has nothing to guide Xiaohuzi in terms of knowledge, but he still has to meet Xiaohuzi's request to hear the story.

At that moment, Zhong Hao boasted to Xiaohuzi that he led the Pingxi Army to deal with the party cavalry when he was in the northwest, and of course, the situation when he took the counterinsurgency was even more fascinating. The surprise attack on Kunlun Pass, the battle of Quy Nhunpu, the battle of Daguling and other battles were all told by Zhong Hao vividly, which made Xiaohuzi feel like he was there, and he longed for it.

Zhong Hao picked out a clairvoyant that had just been made in the Pan family's workshop from the gifts he brought and gave it to Xiaohuzi. After hearing that this clairvoyant had played a major role on the battlefield, Xiaohuzi was very yearning for this clairvoyant who could see as far as before.

Before Zhong Hao left Tokyo, he deliberately took a while to teach the craftsmen of the Pan family's workshop the skills of making clairvoyance and glasses. After repeated experiments, before Zhong Hao left, the craftsmen of the Pan family's workshop finally made the clairvoyance and glasses. This clairvoyant and glasses are still relatively rough, and Pan Xu doesn't plan to sell them, he is afraid of smashing the brand. He still pays great attention to the quality and reputation of his products. Only after making a very good clairvoyant is it ready to be given away and sold.

So these were all tested and given to his friends to play with, and Zhong Hao also took two of them at that time, thinking that maybe it would be useful in case. At least when you go to Dengzhou, it's good to see the sea.

Today, seeing that Xiaohuzi was so envious of this clairvoyance, he took out one and gave it to him.

Xiaohuzi took the monocular clairvoyance of the copper tube, looked here for a while, looked at it for a while, and played with interest. I forgot to pester Zhong Hao to tell a story, Zhong Hao was happy, and at the same time couldn't help laughing: A child is a child, a plaything can be happy like this, and it is also very happy!

…………………………

The weather in midsummer is getting hotter and hotter, but the private room of the natural residence is very cool! Because the four corners of this private room are filled with icebergs. This is also a major feature of the natural residence, and it is also one of the reasons why many guests come to the natural residence.

The inside of this private room is very large, with a hollow bamboo orchid long screen partition in the middle, the ladies are in the inner room, and Zhong Hao and the Gao Deli brothers are in the outer room.

It was not dark yet, and Gao Deli finished arranging the things in the store, so he invited Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu, as well as Feng Shi and Wan'er, early.

After everyone sat down, just chatted for a while, the dishes fried by Gao Defu were served by the shop guy who passed the dishes, and when the last dish was served, Gao Defu also came to the private room.

Gao Deli asked Lu Shi and Zheng Xin'er to greet the master and wife, Fu Ruozhu, and they took care of the banquet by themselves, and did not have to worry about their men's seats.

Although Fu Ruozhu was born in a famous family, she really didn't eat much of this stir-fry, and her chef didn't know how to cook stir-fry before. In Tokyo, there are only a few big restaurants that can do it, and Fu Ruozhu is a beautiful lady, so he rarely has the opportunity to go to the restaurant to eat. Although the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty was much more open than that of the later Ming and Qing dynasties, it was still easy for those ladies to have the opportunity to go to the restaurant alone. The big restaurants in Tokyo regard this stir-fry as a secret skill, making it mysterious, but I didn't expect to find out after coming to Qingzhou this time, in fact, it is also very simple.

The ladies in the inner room have already started their drinking feast, and the high and rich in the outer room are still waiting for Zhong Hao's comments!

Zhong Hao looked at the dishes on this table, Huo, there are really a lot. There are more than a dozen dishes, including fried double crispy, clear soup with three shreds, four treasures of white steak, milk soup and pu vegetables, mullet egg soup, yellow croaker tofu soup, casserole sandan, cloth bag chicken, braised carp, hibiscus chicken slices, braised prawns, Yipin tofu, Sixi meatballs, minced meat and eggplant, etc.

It seems that this Gao Defu has been busy when he comes back, and when he comes back from his house in the afternoon, he will be busy with these two tables of dishes. It can also be seen from this reception banquet that this Gaodeli brother still attaches great importance to himself, and Zhong Hao can't help but move.

Just looking at the appearance of this dish, Zhong Hao is already secretly praised. It really seems that this rich chef has indeed risen greatly, and the knife work on this table alone shows that he has worked hard.

Although Zhong Hao taught Gao Defu stir-frying, he did not systematically learn cooking. He will cook a lot of dishes, mainly because he was a glutton in his later life, he has eaten a lot of delicacies all over the world, and when he eats delicious food, he can't make a special trip to eat in a delicious place, so he follows the recipe from the Internet and learns to make it. After making it a few more times, I came back and forth, and I figured out a lot of ways to cook a lot of dishes. But Zhong Hao has never systematically learned cooking skills, nor has he specially practiced knife work, so he can't help but sigh to himself when he sees this knife work that is rich and rich.

In Zhong Hao's opinion, it is just this high and rich knife work, but he actually has the qualifications to become a top chef. Chinese cooking has always been about "three points of cooking skills, seven points of knife work", and if this knife work is good, it is already very close to a good chef.

And obviously, Gao Defu's cooking is purely different from Zhong Hao's interests, he has really put a lot of effort into the study of cooking. Zhong Hao is completely interested in eating food, and he studies dishes purely to satisfy his appetite, so he naturally doesn't put in those efforts, but only occasionally does this cooking.

Therefore, in Zhong Hao's view, Gao Defu's cooking skills have already been called top chefs after three years of training. This is not Zhong Hao praising him, but he really thinks so. Today, Zhong Hao saw that today's Gao Defu made dishes that were definitely "color, fragrance, taste, and shape". In fact, Gao Defu's cooking skills are enough to be Chef Zhong Hao.

In Zhong Hao's view, Gao Defu makes these dishes, which is only one "name" away from the highest level of the Song Dynasty's diet. In addition to the "color, fragrance, taste, and shape" in the food industry of the Great Song Dynasty, there must also be a "name", and only in this way can it be respected by the literati. In a society where the literati of the Great Song Dynasty were the mainstream representatives, this "name" was indispensable.

For example, when Zhong Hao was in Tokyo, the big restaurants he went to, whether the dishes were delicious or not, these dishes first had a nice name. Some very ordinary dishes were named after some dishes such as Flower Snow Turnip, Jiao Ying Butterfly, Crispy Pearl, Peach Blossom Flowing Water, Green Dragon Lying Snow, Maple Leaf Red Flower, etc., which immediately raised his grade a lot.

Sometimes, when those literati go to the restaurant, they may not necessarily want to have the desire of the tongue. These wonderful names of dishes are extras that are often valued by the literati, and sometimes they are even more important than the dishes themselves.

For example, if you have a spiced roast chicken, in those large restaurants in Tokyo, if it is called "spiced roast chicken", even if you make it very delicious, I am afraid that those literati will definitely not order it, but if you choose a name called "Phoenix Tour on the Phoenix Stage", these literati will flock to it.

Similarly, if you are a ham and lotus seed chicken soup, just call this name, I am afraid that those literati and scholars will feel that the price is dropped, they are going to the restaurant to feast friends or vassal elegance, such a low-grade dish, how can you greet friends, they are naturally disdainful of such a dish, but if you take a poetic name like "Yellow Crane is gone", those literati will not hesitate to order.

In Zhong Hao's view, these literati and scholars went to the restaurant to attach so much importance to the "name" of this dish, but they had lower requirements for the "color, fragrance, taste, and shape", which was undoubtedly suspected of "buying and returning pearls". But the literati and scholars of the Great Song Dynasty were so exquisite. No one wants to be looked down upon, as a layman, because when they go to a restaurant, everyone naturally wants to be elegant, so this situation occurs.

Although Zhong Hao is so particular about eating happily, no matter how good the name of this dish is, it seems that the behavior of these literati and scholars is undoubtedly a little ...... Some two. But this is a real situation in the Great Song Dynasty, who let the literati lead the trend of mainstream society!

Zhong Hao looked at Gao Defu's dishes and felt that if this dish was paired with a nice name, it would definitely make Gao Defu into the ranks of top chefs.

At that moment, Zhong Hao smiled and said to Gao Defu: "Defu's cooking skills are indeed soaring, although I haven't tasted it yet, but the 'color, fragrance, and shape' of this dish are all available, which has already made people salivate." Hehe, if it is evaluated by 'color, fragrance, and shape', if it is ten points, I will give you nine points. The lack of this point is not because there is something wrong with the 'color, aroma and shape' of your dishes, but because the chef is afraid of your pride! ”

"Uh......" Gao Defu is a good cooker, but in terms of interpersonal interactions, it is indeed far less profitable than his brother.

As soon as Gao Deli heard Zhong Hao's words, he understood that Zhong Hao had a high opinion of Gao Defu's dishes, and he couldn't help but be happy for Gao Defu immediately.

Gao Defu listened to his master's words, and really pondered for a moment, and then realized that his master's evaluation of his own dish was very high. The meaning of the master's words seems to be that the dish he made can be regarded as ten points in terms of 'color, aroma, and shape', that is, it is perfect. Thinking about it, he understood his master's words, and Gao Defu couldn't help but say very proudly to his eldest brother: "Did you see it, big brother?" I said that my cooking skills are already very good, but you still always say that I haven't grown, and always pour cold water on me, and now the master's words can help me prove it, right?! ”

Gao Deli smiled: "Hehe, isn't my eldest brother afraid that you will be proud, and pour cold water on you, isn't this also urging you not to put down this craft!" ”

Gao Defu said to Zhong Hao with anticipation: "Master, please try this dish and see how it tastes?" ”

Zhong Hao saw Gao Defu's expectant eyes, and immediately picked up the chopsticks in front of him, took a bite of eggplant from the plate of minced eggplant, and sent it to his mouth to taste.

This eggplant is smooth and soft in the mouth, which is very good, and the flavor of the minced meat is completely immersed in the eggplant, and the taste of the minced meat is overflowing, and the taste of this minced meat eggplant is definitely great.

Zhong Hao scooped a bite from the first-grade tofu with a spoon, the tofu was soft and delicate, palatable and refreshing, very good. And this Yipin tofu is made of shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, sea cucumber and ham together to thicken the soup, and then poured on the tofu to make it, this shrimp, dried scallops, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, sea cucumber and ham boiled soup is delicious and abnormal, poured on this tofu, the tofu absorbs the umami of the soup, naturally it is delicious.

If this minced meat and eggplant is the most simple dish to make delicious, this tofu is the most delicious dish.

Zhong Hao ate this minced eggplant and a product of tofu, and couldn't help but praise Gao Defudao: "Defu makes this dish, it really tastes very authentic, the eggplant is smooth and soft in the mouth, the meat is fragrant, and this tofu is soft and delicate, palatable and refreshing, and the taste is abnormal." In the eyes of the teacher, this taste can also be scored as a nine. The point that is missing is still because I am afraid that you will be proud. ”

Compared with this tofu, in fact, Zhong Hao is impressed by the cooking skills of Gao Defu for the fact that this minced meat and eggplant can be fried with such a taste. After all, this tofu has this shrimp, dried scallops, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, sea cucumber and ham boiled soup thickened as a topping, even if ordinary people make it, I am afraid that the taste is not bad. After all, with so many delicious ingredients, it is difficult to taste delicious.

Gao Defu listened to Zhong Hao's praise, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Zhong Hao: "Haha, if I can get such a high evaluation from the master, I have confidence in my own cooking skills, and I will believe in the master's words!" Gao Defu has always been very convinced of this master who is younger than himself.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard Gao Defu's words, and said with an embarrassed smile: "My cooking skills as a master are actually far inferior to you, in fact, I really don't have any qualifications to evaluate you now!" You have done these dishes very well, and they have long been better than the blue! ”

Gao Defu said solemnly: "Master, don't say that, you have figured out this method of stir-frying by yourself, this is really powerful, the apprentice is just on top of these stir-fry methods you taught, slightly improved and practiced." Or the master's ability is more powerful! In fact, in the final analysis, diligence can make up for clumsiness, and the apprentice's talent in cooking is far inferior to that of the master! In my heart, the master will always be the most powerful master! ”

Zhong Hao listened to Gao Defu's evaluation of his cooking skills, and couldn't help sweating. This is just a ready-made method taken from the afterlife, how can I figure it out myself?!
