Chapter 791: Boiled Cabbage (Medium)
Shopkeeper Luo knew it when he said it, and regardless of whether the boiled cabbage was just a legend or really lost the classic of Sichuan cuisine, his Yunjin Building couldn't make it, and I am afraid that there would be no restaurant in Chengdu that could do it.
Brother Tianba didn't know where the evil energy came from, and seeing that the shopkeeper Luo said so categorically, he was unconvinced, "All the restaurants in Chengdu Mansion can't do it, but my brother can do it!" ”
Chef Fu on the other side looked surprised and said, "Who is your brother?" ”
"......"
Brother Tianba pointed at Yang Huairen with his chin, Yang Huairen had a headache here, and said in his heart, what are you talking nonsense, we were reasonable, we have the upper hand, we were not allowed to go upstairs just now, and now we may be able to go to the next level, so that we can exhaust the thousands of miles, as soon as you say this, you are not afraid that I will not make this famous dish?
Yang Huairen remembered his father, this boiled cabbage, when he was helping the cook in the Hutong restaurant at home, he had seen his father make it once.
Maybe it was because of a special guest that day that my father was willing to show his true skills, and it took a lot of effort to make this boiled cabbage.
This incident was very impressive in Yang Huairen's mind, the reason was that his father was very serious that day, and he didn't even let Yang Huairen touch all the ingredients and kitchen utensils on the side, and the guest left crying after eating boiled cabbage, which made people really can't forget it.
Looking back now, every step and every detail of Daddy's production of this boiled cabbage that day seems to be vivid.
Yang Huairen doesn't have the ability to never forget, otherwise he wouldn't have learned well in seriousness, and he is in the bottom ten in the class every year, but what kind of dish others make, as long as he sees it once, he always can't forget it, and even if he starts it immediately, he can imitate it.
But this boiled cabbage, since it represents the highest level and technique of Sichuan cuisine, then Yang Huairen is a little weak-hearted, after all, watching and doing it yourself are completely different things, simple dishes may be able to make a single eight, but the production process is so cumbersome and complicated for a dish, he can't guarantee it.
Men always want to save face, especially when Brother Tianba said something like that, when Chef Fu, the shopkeeper of Luo's eyes shot over like lightning, Yang Huairen couldn't admit it, so he had to pretend to be calm and nodded.
Shopkeeper Luo and his junior brother Chef Fu glanced at each other in disbelief, then turned their heads and said in unison, "I don't believe it!" ”
How can they believe? Needless to say, their generation, even their always revered master and master have been thinking about how to make a boiled cabbage all their lives, but the result is repeated failures.
In their generation, maybe they are downplayed, and after trying countless times, they can only lie to themselves that this dish does not exist at all, and as for the folk rumors, they are just rumors, at least in the past few decades, no one has ever heard of anyone who has really tasted this boiled cabbage, let alone made it.
"Whether you believe it or not, we're hungry now, so you might as well hurry up and serve us food."
Yang Huairen didn't think about really trying to make this boiled cabbage, so he wanted to give himself, but also to the shopkeeper Luo and Chef Fu a step down, at least now I will bluff you, make those dishes for your buddies, please go upstairs to enjoy the beautiful scenery and eat, maybe let you go, if you are stubborn again, I am afraid that everyone's face will not look good.
Brother Tianba understood Yang Huairen's meaning again, so he stopped bragging, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Yes, we are hungry, hurry up and cook for us, and besides, we have to go upstairs to eat." ”
Chef Fu didn't understand what was going on, saying that those guests were here to smash the scene, and it wasn't quite like that, saying that they were making trouble, but they just ordered food, they couldn't do it, and they couldn't blame the guests.
As for the tall man saying that his brother can do it, it should be a lie, because no matter how you look at it, his brother is not like a young man who can cook except that he is not a little different from him.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, an old but very powerful voice came from the staircase, and Shopkeeper Luo and Chef Fu followed the prestige, and immediately bowed respectfully and shouted, "Master".
Yang Huairen looked over and found that it was an old man with gray hair, who was in his eighties, with white hair and a thin face, and his face had been portrayed by years of wind and frost so that he could no longer see joy and sorrow, but a pair of small eyes were extraordinarily energetic, exuding a kind of long-lasting composure and wisdom.
The old man walked over slowly, his steps were a little staggering, but his two apprentices, Shopkeeper Luo and Chef Fu, did not dare to reach out to help, and at a glance, they knew that this old man was a very strong person.
This year is not compared to the later generations, the average life expectancy of people is still relatively short, those who have lived past fifty are considered old people, life is rare for seventy years, and the old people who are over seventy years old are quite rare, and those who can live to eighty years old and walk out by themselves are not ordinarily rare.
Yang Huairen hurriedly stood up, and without waiting for the old man to come over, he first moved in front of him and asked, "Old man, what are you ......?"
As he spoke, he bowed down deeply, showing his respect for an old man. The old man nodded slightly, and naturally reached out and touched the top of Yang Huairen's head, "He is a good boy and a good cook." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, several people present looked at Yang Huairen in surprise, and Yang Huairen was even more surprised in his heart, he just glanced at me and touched my head, how did he know that I was a cook?
He raised his head with puzzled eyes, and the old man smiled, but he didn't explain, "As long as you can play tricks, don't you allow the old man to be unfathomable?" ”
Yang Huairen also smiled, and said in his heart that this old man was interesting. The two of them didn't stand and talk like this, so Yang Huairen made a gesture of please, and helped the old man to their table and sat down, and his two apprentices naturally lowered their hands and lowered their heads to stand behind the old man on the left and right.
Yang Huairen's side, Lan Ruoxin and a few others also got up to greet the old man, and the old man waved his hand and said, "They are all good offspring, sit down, sit down and talk." ”
After everyone sat down, the old man introduced himself, "The old man's surname is Chen, he was originally the chef in charge of Yunjin Building, and now the shopkeeper Luo and Chef Fu of Yunjin Building are the apprentices of the old man." ”
