45. Who says that the truth is useless?
The facts were all guessed by her, even if Li Yingyue wanted to say no at this time, she couldn't find a better explanation, so she could only keep her mouth shut and say nothing, as if she could shirk her responsibility.
However, Qin Wuran didn't mean to blame her in the end, the hand holding her cuff was slightly released, some things didn't work out, so she was just ready to go to Shen Linzhou to ask for clarification.
Li Yingyue didn't know what she was thinking, and when she saw him get up, she hurriedly followed, and asked a little worriedly, "Where is Miss going?" ”
"What are you so nervous about?" Qin Wuran was a little amused when she saw her reaction like this, but after speaking, she became serious again, "I'm just going to ask about my condition, after all, you have hidden a lot of things from me before, and I have to know something about myself." ”
Hearing this, Li Yingyue was half-convinced, but no matter what, since Qin Wuran had made up her mind to ask Shen Linzhou, this was not something she could stop, so she could only sigh lightly and not continue to stand in the way.
When Shen Linzhou went to Shen Linzhou's place, he was still counting Ah Jin's ineffective work, after all, it was not a pleasant thing to cover his head in the quilt this summer, Ah Jin himself had a bad idea, and he wanted to fulfill this lie with him, and Shen Linzhou's training was also in common sense.
It's just that Qin Wu's knock on the door outside interrupted the original atmosphere between the two, Shen Linzhou lifted the quilt and lay on the bed again, on it, Ah Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and went to open the door in a very anxious manner, without the slightest intention of thinking about his young master.
"It's not too early, what is Miss Qin doing here?" Ah Jin stood at the door and asked.
Qin Wuran then nodded at her, and then said, "I have something I want to ask your young master, I don't know if it's convenient." ”
"It's convenient and convenient," Ah Jin hurriedly vacated a place for her to leave as soon as he heard that she was going to come in, and he didn't look back at his young master's refusal from beginning to end.
Shen Linzhou only felt angry, but everyone had already walked in, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only cough a few times to disguise, and then sat up from the bed, and gave several threatening glances in a place where Qin Wuran couldn't see.
Ah Jin was not afraid of his own young master, so he turned a blind eye to these eyes, and just said: "You guys talk first, I have to go and decoct medicine for my young master." ”
After saying that, he ran out, and Shen Linzhou, who didn't know what medicine he was going to take if he wasn't sick, hated the roots of his teeth itching, thinking that he would have to teach him a good lesson next time he saw him.
Qin Wuran didn't see the twists and turns in this, or that she had other ideas in her heart, but in fact, she didn't care about the coming and going of the eyes between the two at all, so she just waited until Ah Jin went out and asked tentatively.
"Today's dumplings are a little lighter than usual, can you eat them?"
Shen Linzhou actually understood most of it when he heard this, but Qin Wuran didn't say it clearly, so he pretended not to know the meaning and nodded again.
"Then why did you tell me it was salty?"
"Ah Jin came over and told me, saying that Li Yingyue saw you put an extra spoonful of salt, although I ate it normally at the time, but when I thought that if I didn't lie to you, you would definitely doubt yourself, so I subconsciously said salty."
"Then what I did two days ago, is it also salty?"
The words have reached this point, and there is no need to hide too much, Shen Linzhou let out a long sigh of relief, and then nodded in her inquiring gaze.
"Actually, this matter can't be separated from me in the final analysis, after all, if I had told you to put less salt when I was growing up for the first time, this kind of thing would not have happened in the future." Shen Linzhou blamed the fault on himself as much as possible.
But Qin Wuran was not an unreasonable person, so he shook his head after he said this, "I know that you are for my good, but I am afraid that I will be frustrated the first time, and I will not be able to do it well in the future." ”
Shen Linzhou didn't speak this time, because she also felt that there was really no need for this mistake, so she quietly waited for Qin Wuran's next words.
"Has my illness always been like this?" Qin Yuran lowered her eyes, and after asking, she picked at her nails.
Shen Linzhou didn't know how to speak for a while.
In fact, according to Imperial Doctor Jiang, there is actually no way to do it other than taking medicine at the moment, and there is no guarantee that this medicine will definitely work. But if these words are said to Qin Wuran, with the way she looks now, even if she will not be crushed by this news, it is estimated that she will not be able to cheer up.
So after thinking about it, Shen Linzhou still didn't answer, but asked, "What is the effect of this illness on you?" ”
Qin Wuran looked up at him a little strangely, "I'm a cook, if I can't even taste the taste, what should I do in the future?" ”
"I've seen many people who were born with mouth and eye diseases, and they are still alive and well, but you just can't taste it at a young age, why don't you look like you have no hope for the future?"
Qin Wuran thought that what he said was to let him change his profession, a total of three hundred and sixty lines, and he would not starve himself to death if he was the best in the industry.
"But I really like it, and I am ready to inherit my grandfather's mantle, not only to make a good job of Li Kee Restaurant, but also to restore the recipes he left behind for him. What's more, I've been cooking since I was a kid in college, and you suddenly made me think of other ways, and I really can't think of it. ”
"I'm not asking you to find another way," Shen Linzhou said slowly, but also a little seriously, "I know that you really like and are proficient in cooking, but since you are so proficient, those flavors should be reflected in your mind, why do you think you can't do it well?" ”
It's not the first time Qin Wuran has heard such words, you must know that Old Lady Li often said such things to her when she was alive, so she also fell into silence at this time.
She knew that if she said those explanations, it would definitely make people feel a little hypocritical.
But Shen Linzhou also heard a lot of things about Qin Wuran from Zhao Li, and at this time, he didn't care about her evasion, but said the considerations in her heart and let her face this problem.
"Because you have become a habit before, if it is a dish that you are not sure of, you must taste it through your sensitive tongue before you have a little confidence. But I think it's because of your sensitive tongue that your cooking is stereotypical and boring. ”
Stereotypical and boring? Qin Wuran pondered these four words carefully, but felt that it was funny.
"What's fun about cooking? Isn't it a taste in your mouth? Qin Wu was puzzled.
Shen Linzhou saw that she didn't understand, so he could only sigh, "So the taste you make is the same, the same dish, the same seasoning, the same method, and the same taste." That's why your grandfather said you don't know how to innovate, and if you are in this rule, how can you revert to saying those dishes? ”
"Let's take Zheng Songyun, who went to Li Ji Restaurant to learn something some time ago, he asked why you use white sesame seeds instead of black sesame seeds to make shortbread, you said that this is the old rule, but the real reason is not known, but if he can do it, he really takes black sesame seeds, it is another novelty."
Qin Wuran didn't understand anything when she heard it, but Mrs. Li didn't persuade her, and Shen Linzhou said that these things might not necessarily make her come back to her senses, so Shen Linzhou was not in a hurry, but asked about something else.
"When I first came to Li's house, you also cooked a meal, and your sense of taste should have been out of order at that time, but you didn't find out about anything else. But at that time, there was no problem with the dishes you cooked, and the saltiness was moderate. It shows that you have engraved those habits in your bones, so why should you rely on the evaluation of others to give yourself confidence? ”
Shen Linzhou's words were explicit, and he didn't mean to show mercy to Qin Wuran at all. But the latter actually knows his temperament very well, and he was speechless by him at this time, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
"So what should I do?" Qin Wuran asked.
After Old Lady Li left, she had almost lost her direction, coupled with the loss of her sense of taste, the difficulties of the Qin family, and the successive blows made her not only have little confidence in herself, but even became a little blind.
What Shen Linzhou said undoubtedly dissected her, being too sensitive, sensitive, and overly doubting herself, which made her completely unable to move forward, and even had a tendency to retreat.
However, facing her at such a loss, Shen Linzhou not only did not comfort her, but asked seriously: "Do you really want to continue to study cooking and fulfill your grandfather's last wish?" ”
Qin Wuran nodded.
"Then do what you want, get rid of distractions, and don't worry about too many other things."
Qin Wuran naturally heard this sentence in a fog, "Then how can I do what I want?" ”
"What do you think?" Shen Linzhou threw the problem to her again, "What you think in your heart, no one can guess." For example, what kind of taste do you want to make in a dish, how much salt and how much sugar should be put in it, you have a scale in your heart, and if you go down with your heart, why should you care about what others say? ”
"But we are just cooking for others, if we only do it according to our own hearts, and in the end if others don't like it, what will happen?"
"Then listen to the opinions of others and make improvements." It was rare for Shen Linzhou to tell so many big truths to people, and he also felt a little dry at this time, so he took the tea cup and moistened his throat. Sure enough, I saw Qin Wu on the opposite side dyed a curtain of entanglement.
"Do you want to ask me, since you still have to listen to the opinions of others later, why don't you just ask from the beginning?" Shen Linzhou put down the teacup, saw her nodded, and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, "Listen to the opinions of others from the beginning, even if you cook the same dish a thousand times, it is not your own thing after all." ”
"And think about your grandfather, when did he taste it when he was cooking in front of you? Even if he launches a new dish, he himself is not sure that he will let people taste it, and then change it, once it is raw and twice cooked, there will always be a time for success. ”
"Can you help me, then?" Qin Wuran asked for no reason.
Shen Linzhou was a little surprised, but he also knew that there were some things that could not be forced, if it was useful just by mouth, Old Lady Li would have said it a thousand and eight hundred times, and Qin Wuran should have changed a long time ago.
So he nodded inexplicably, "It's just that my tongue is tricky, and the general dishes can't get into my eyes, and I'm tired of the home-cooked food you've made these days, I'm afraid that there will be something fresh." ”
