Chapter 120: Redefining Cuisine

Lucy was confused.

But Lucy didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't dare to ask.

Because Lucy was worried that if she asked, she would reveal her ignorance.

This is something that Lucy does not want to see.

So Lucy kept her mouth shut tightly and pretended to know well.

After doing this for a while, Lucy found that she couldn't hold it, because the thing was finally handed over to the kitchen to do. In other words, if Lucy didn't know what Ding Cheng wrote in the little book, she wouldn't be able to make it, and then she would make jokes.

Lucy:???

Lucy was shocked, and for some reason, she suddenly had a feeling of stepping on thunder in her heart.

What is a big bag of liquid lard?

Isn't that what I understand me?

Lucy panicked, she felt that her guess must be wrong, but she couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.

So Lucy had no choice but to tactfully ask Ding Cheng: "Mr. Ding." Is this flowing lard bag a way to describe it? I mean, let's say we make a bread filled with egg yolks, and make the egg yolks into a flowing heart? ”

Lucy said tentatively, but the more she spoke, the more she felt unconfident.

What is this?

Running egg yolk stuffed bread? Isn't that outrageous?

Lucy is very unconfident, but she can only guess like this, she can't let her make a real lard-filled bun, right? That's outrageous.

So this runny lard must be an adjective, a description of a thing. For example, the Internet celebrity dirty bag is actually chocolate bread. So here, Lucy also reasonably guesses that the four words 'flowing lard' mean something else.

But what exactly do these four words refer to? Lucy couldn't guess, after all, she hadn't been online for many years, and she couldn't keep up with the trend.

So Lucy could only make some reluctant guesses, very reluctantly, so reluctant that she couldn't convince herself, and of course such a statement couldn't convince Ding Cheng.

Ding Cheng frowned.

"Are these six words hard to understand?"

Ding Cheng felt very depressed, and Lucy didn't know where the brain was going.

Ding Cheng unfolded the book and spread it under Lucy's nose, "These six words, are they difficult to understand?" ”

Lucy was on the verge of crying.

Lucy's first reaction was startled, as if a bucket of cold water was splashed on her head, and she thought that her guess might be outrageous, but she didn't expect it to be really outrageous.

Mr. Ding was obviously a little angry, and asked angrily, why are you so stupid? Can't understand such a simple word?

Lucy's mentality at that time collapsed, and she felt that she was very sorry for Mr. Ding's high hopes, and she couldn't even guess this little thing. A particularly embarrassing feeling now haunted Lucy's heart.

But Lucy really can't guess it, Lucy really can't guess what the words 'flowing lard' mean. The meaning of the word was clearly beyond her comprehension.

Lucy felt that she was particularly bad, and she was quite skeptical of her professional level. Originally, Lucy was a very self-confident person, but as soon as she met Ding Cheng, she didn't know why she was not confident, and she felt that all the professional experience accumulated over the years had collapsed, and she felt that she had done it in vain, and she was very bad.

It's especially like being PUA by a scumbag.

But Mr. Ding can never be a scumbag, so Lucy feels that these are all her own problems. Lucy is such a person, and when she encounters a problem, she likes to find the cause from herself first.

I feel like I'm really bad, I can't do this little thing well. I really don't know how to proceed anymore. Lucy now felt like a weight in her heart, so under the pressure, Lucy cried directly.

“5555555”

Lucy's crying is not only full of emotion, but also action, and a little acting feeling in it. But Lucy also really felt that she was very wronged, so she went directly into the play after acting for a while, squatting down and holding her head and crying.

Ding Cheng: ???

What kind of delusion is this?

Ding Cheng looked at Lucy in confusion, if he didn't understand it wrong, it seemed that he just asked Lucy a word, and then she was like that?

???

Ding Cheng looked up at the window in confusion, this is not Cedar Mental Hospital, this is Akuya's castle.

But this Lucy in front of her really looks like a psychopath.

She's more like a psychopath than those real psychopaths in the hospital.

"Alright, stop howling." Ding Cheng looked at Lucy helplessly and said.

"Please put away your tears."

"It's over, hey sister, it's really not like this, it's not necessary."

"Do you think it's strange that you're like this? Okay, get up quickly, there's no stage here, there's no need for this. ”

Ding Cheng looked down at Lucy and said, thinking that if he said this, Lucy would be angry and excited, and would pounce on him and howl more violently.

But what I never expected was that Lucy actually stood up after hearing this, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and then acted like no one.

Lucy stood there like a nobody, and even squeezed out a warm smile at Ding Cheng.

Ding Cheng: ???

Ding Cheng was stunned by Lucy at this time.

Lucy embarrassedly took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her eyes, and apologized to Ding Cheng shyly: "I'm sorry Mr. Ding, I lost my temper just now." I didn't control my emotions. ”

"I just feel that there is a big gap in my heart, because I have always felt that I am very good, and everyone is holding me, so I have a very high position for myself. But today in front of you, my position fell all of a sudden, and I felt that I couldn't do such a thing well, it was really useless, so my mentality collapsed. ”

"Of course, I don't mean to criticize you when I say this. On the contrary, I want to thank you for making me feel this pain, and the pain only makes me stronger. ”

Lucy shyly dug out her heart with Ding Cheng, and dug it out to the place where her heart pierced, and the tears had a tendency to flow down her eyes.

Ding Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I can't see that you are quite hypocritical." Let's move on to the menu, you see, you're going to go off-topic. ”

Lucy was startled and woke up like a dream, so she hurried back on track.

"Mr. Ding, to be honest, I don't really understand the deep meaning of ''lard flowing heart'. Could you please help me? ”

Lucy asked Ding Cheng sincerely and didn't pretend. If you didn't pretend to be at the beginning just now and asked directly, there would be no current series of things, so all of this is caused by Lucie's outfit.

"What's the meaning of that?" Ding Cheng was stunned.

"Lard flowing heart bag, that's literal."

"Lard-flow-big bag, literally, right? What's not understood? ”

Ding Cheng patiently explained to Lucy.

???

Lucy was stunned.

Is it really lard?

Miss Lucy's face now has a mixed expression.

Because according to her instinct for life experience, Lucy instinctively felt that this was not right, that it should not be, that it was outrageous.

But this outrageous thing was said by Mr. Ding, as we all know, Mr. Ding's words must have its truth, so Mr. Ding will not be outrageous.

Then the outrageous person becomes Lucy.

Lucy:???

I'm outrageous??

Lucy was shocked, deeply confused, and deeply doubted life, but she wanted to say it but couldn't say it, so she could only hold it back.

Lucy held back hard, Lucy really thought it was ridiculous, but she couldn't believe that her judgment was right, because Lucy had lost confidence in herself, so she had also lost her ability to judge.

Now, Lucy was terrified.

It's very twisted, the whole person doesn't know what to believe, doesn't know whether to believe in his own standards, doesn't know what is bad and what is good, his brain is thinking fast, but he can't find the answer, everything is always mixed together, and then he becomes more twisted.

Such a twisted mentality is reflected in the expression on the face like constipation.

Lucy was constipated.

And Ding Cheng naturally saw Lucy's reaction in his eyes, and then smiled slightly.

Lucy was distracted, then confused, and good. All this is completely in line with Ding Cheng's expectations, as the person who raised the question, Ding Cheng's next thing to do is to solve the problem for Lucy.

"Lucy, do you think it's outrageous and disgusting to make bun stuffing with lard, that's wrong?"

Ding Cheng asked very inducingly.

The innocent Lucy was defenseless, and nodded violently after hearing Ding Cheng's words, and then reacted in the next second, and shook her head violently.

"No, Mr. Ding, I'm not challenging your authority. But this thing is really against my perception, so I'm thinking, maybe after thinking about it for a while, I'll be able to keep up with your train of thought. Lucy said humbly.

Ding Cheng smiled: "If you say this, it means that you still don't understand." You don't know how to pretend to understand! ”

Lucy:!!!

What a good one who doesn't know how to pretend to understand!

Lucy was embarrassed for a moment, and cold sweat flowed down her back at once, it turned out that Mr. Ding had already seen the little Jiujiu in her heart.

"Lucy, let me ask you, what do you say is the essence of Chinese cuisine?" Ding Cheng asked.

"The essence of Chinese cuisine?" Lucy tilted her head and thought, "Is it an abundant ingredient?" ”

"It's not." Ding Cheng shook his index finger.

"That's a long history? A broad and profound geo-culture? Lucy tried to answer.

"Don't give me the whole written language, it's not a question. You tell me something down-to-earth, it's the real thing! ”

"Got it! It's just that I'm going to speak human words! Lucy gasped and rethought, "Is it MSG?"

I have to say that this answer is very close to the correct answer, but there is still some way to go.

"Think a little more specifically!" Ding Cheng induces Lucy.

"Think a little more specific?" Lucy frowned, and then said in a flash of inspiration, "Is it a green onion?" As a Sadong person, my favorite food is green onions! ”

Ding Cheng: ......

The answer is close, you think again. Wider applicability. ”

"A more versatile spice?" Lucy was interested, and thought seriously, "Is that garlic?" Can garlic be called the soul of the North? ”

Ding Cheng: ......

"The scope could be a little bit wider. Think about it, what are those fragrant things, things that are loved by the people? ”

"What's in the popular dishes?" Lucy tilted her head and thought, "Isn't that still MSG!" ”

"Think again! Something fragrant! MSG is umami, what is fragrant? ”

Ding Cheng was a little anxious, this Lucy was too stupid, hinting that he couldn't figure it out for so long, he really didn't make up for it when he should make up for it, and he was blind when he shouldn't make up for it!

"Something fragrant?" Lucy's sluggish brain slowly turned, and she finally found an answer to the sidelines. Then before the answer could be spoken, Lucy was shocked to herself!

"You mean—that thing is lard!"

Ding Cheng clapped his hands, and finally lived up to my guidance!

"That's right, the answer is lard! Lucy, you're so smart! Ding Cheng boasted against his will.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Ding, it's all your good guidance, you are so polite." Lucy said happily, and then recalled Ding Cheng's words, "So the essence of Chinese cuisine is lard?" ”

"Yes!"

Lucy nodded, and there didn't seem wrong with saying that.

But what does this have to do with mixing lard into the stuffing of buns? It's okay to mix a little bit and a half, the key is that there is no other filling in this bun, just lard. And then this lard has to be made into a flowing heart?

Does this sound like a word?

Lucy felt that this was not like words, so she directly expressed what she thought on her face, and of course Lucy's expression was fully seen by Ding Cheng.

"Didn't you think too much about it?" Ding Cheng asked kindly.

"Yes." Lucy nodded vigorously.

"I'll give you some ideas."

"The essence of Chinese cuisine is lard."

"Lard is a good thing."

"Does that make sense?"

"Makes sense!" Lucy nodded.

"Not bad", Ding Cheng continued: "We want to make good food, that is, to make good things for customers. Why did we choose buns instead of dumplings, wontons or noodles? Because the form of steamed bun is very meaningful, it can represent a group of people's memories of food. “

"You're right. I can understand that! "Lucy smiled, 'That makes sense, too.'"

Ding Cheng smiled: "So, when we make lard flowing heart buns, we take out the most quintessential things in Chinese cuisine and put them into the form that can best inspire collective memory." Is there anything black about this? ”

"There's nothing to be black about." Lucy followed Ding Cheng's words, but she always subconsciously felt that there was something wrong in her mind.

All the arguments are right, and every sentence is reasonable, but how can these words be so wrong when they are put together?

Lucy was a little confused, but it didn't matter, Lucy was now able to understand Mr. Ding's thoughts.

Mr. Ding has already explained the truth very clearly, there is nothing to be black, if Lucy still can't understand it, it means that it is still a little far from Mr. Ding's realm.

Lucy has been stunned by success!

Ding was relieved to be in such a situation, and took advantage of the victory to pursue and make several demands on Lucy.

"First, the skin of the bun should be rolled out very thick, with a thickness of 3 centimeters, because the bread in the bun is full of lard, if the skin is not thick enough, the lard will flow out of the skin."

"Second, the practice of flowing lard: first refine a large barrel of lard, let it cool and solidify, dig a spoonful directly into the bun when wrapping, and then when the basket drawer is steamed, the lard will melt, this is the flowing lard. What you have to note here is that the ingredient must only be lard, and do not let the chef put anything else in it. Because we want to present our guests with the most quintessential things in Chinese cuisine, we must maintain its purity. ”

"Okay." As Lucy listened, she took a small notebook and took it down carefully.

Lucy doesn't really understand it yet, but she's sure she'll figure it out soon.
