At noon the next day—

"That's it! Little brother Yi Yan, hurry up and bring the food you prepared! ”

Lin Yiyan, who was holding the tray, first smiled at the Qiulan girl in the corner, then put the tray on the dining table, and while slowly opening the lid, Lin Yiyan announced very confidently, "This is the dish I prepared for you, I call him - Phoenix Crystal!" ”

When Lin Yiyan completely opened the lid, it looked like a phoenix shining with ice crystals flying with wings, he let out a crisp chirping sound, and the refreshing light went straight to the sky-

"Oh~!!"

“…… Wow!! ”

"What a beautiful phoenix ......!"

"It's like a crystal, and the whole body shines brightly!"

"At that moment, I seemed to see a flying phoenix, it was indescribably beautiful!"

"What the hell is this......" Before one of the elders could ask, a sudden voice interrupted the exclamation of the other elders, it was the voice of Old Man Guan!

"What! This is ......," said Elder Guan as he picked up one of them with chopsticks and a deceitful expression, "The name sounds like that, but it's just an exaggerated arrangement of fried bean sprouts!" Is this what you are confident in? Yi Yan's little brother! ”

"Tsk!" Lin Yiyan raised his index finger and swayed from side to side, "I'm still the same sentence, since that's the case!" Why don't you take a bite! Maybe you'll understand it after a bite! ”

"Really? A simple dish like this can bluff people once, but can't bluff a second time! Gremlin! As he spoke, Elder Guan put the pick-up bean sprouts into his mouth!

Under Lin Yiyan's confident gaze, under the nervous attention of Miss Qiulan, and in the nervous gaze of everyone. After Elder Guan chewed the bean sprouts in his mouth and swallowed them—

At that moment, Elder Guan was like an electric shock, an incomprehensible expression appeared on his face, and he said in a trembling tone, "This... This... Sky... Oh, my God! This light and fresh taste! There is no muddy smell, and the taste in the mouth is so crisp and refreshing, which... It's not like bean sprouts! ”

"What the hell is going on?" Elder Guan held the bean sprouts in his palm, and after staring at them for a long time, he asked incredulously, "Ah...!" It's ......"

"Ruyi dish!" Elder Guan and Lin Yiyan shouted out the answer in unison, and in Elder Guan's gaze, Lin Yiyan opened his mouth to explain, "That's right! Because he is very similar to the wishful golden hoop stick in the hand of the Monkey King, it is called a wishful dish! That is, bean sprouts with the head and tail removed! ”

"The things that make bean sprouts smell muddy and affect the taste are the roots and shoots. Therefore, by carefully removing the heads and tails of ordinary bean sprouts one by one, you can create a fresh texture and produce a completely different and superior flavor! ”

"At the same time, the bean sprouts themselves are also transformed into jewels, and with careful decoration and platter, it has become a veritable dish - Phoenix Crystal!"

"However, so many bean sprouts have to be removed one by one, where is there so much spare time......" Saying this, Elder Guan, who seemed to have thought of something, looked at Lin Yiyan in surprise, "The bowl of porridge that Qiu Lan drank yesterday, I have always wondered why it is so clear!" Do you say ......"

"That's right! It stands to reason that the soup made from the internal organs and bones should be quite cloudy. But the bowl of porridge was as clear as water, and not dirty at all! The middle-aged uncle who had been watching on the side was taken aback, "You shouldn't have stayed by the pot for a day and a night to make that bowl of porridge?" ”

"Huh? Hey~! Lin Yiyan smiled a little embarrassedly, "But! Uncle! Why haven't you gone back yet? ”

"You're still staying here, letting you be a teenager to replace me like this, how can I leave with peace of mind!" The uncle also laughed after speaking, "However, after reading the dishes you made again, I realized that I still have a lot to learn!" Although it is very unwilling......"

"Heh... Hehe! I see. Truly! Since the first dish you brought out, each of your dishes is not simple, think about this wishful dish, I haven't seen it for decades! Elder Guan looked at Lin Yiyan and said, "Although the dishes don't look luxurious, they take into account the condition of the eaters and spend a lot of effort to make these dishes, this is Lin Yiyan's way of cooking!" ”

"Speaking of which, I was able to do it so quickly!" Lin Yiyan looked at the Qiulan girl, "Among them, the Qiulan girl can be said to be indispensable!" She helped me a lot! ”

"What... What the!! Everyone was taken aback, and Elder Guan even looked at his granddaughter with a ghostly expression, "This... Is this true? Autumn land! ”

"No... No way! Miss Qiu Lan actually ......? ”

"How could the eldest lady go to cook!"

In the eyes of everyone, Qiu Lan bowed her head slightly shyly, "After eating Xiao Yi's porridge yesterday, I feel that I seem to have found the final thing before!" Everything I've eaten before lacked one thing! Of course, technology and materials are indispensable for cooking! However, I finally understood that this alone is not enough! ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Lan brought a bright smile, "A 'care' for the eater, if this is missing, then the dish will definitely not be delicious!" I hope to let Grandpa know this too, so I asked Xiao Yi to let me help! ”

Although Xiao Yi didn't sleep for a day and a night, he still nodded and agreed to stay with me all night. In the company of Xiao Yi, I removed the heads and tails of almost countless bean sprouts one by one. ”

As he spoke, Qiu Lan's face showed a very gentle expression, "But... It's really incredible! Every time I remove the head and tail of a bean sprout, and every time I finish a wishful dish, my mood becomes lighter and lighter! When Xiao Yi put the fried bean sprouts on the plate, in front of the phoenix that shines like crystal, my soul seems to be reborn! ”

"I didn't expect cooking to be such a fun thing!" Qiu Lan's face was full of bright smiles, "This is all taught to me by Xiao Yi, grandpa!" ”

"Huh! Is it? Qiu Lan ......" Elder Guan put down the hood he had been wearing on his head and said with a sigh, "I haven't seen such a bright smile on your face for many years!" ”

Speaking of this, Elder Guan seemed to let go of something, "It seems that it is just like what Xiao Yi said!" We've all forgotten what it takes to be a chef! I'm willing to bow down! ”

"Hey, hey!" Lin Yiyan first rubbed his nose, and then gave Qiu Lan a thumbs up!

"Haha! Brother Yi! Well done! After Elder Guan's words fell, the middle-aged uncle patted Lin Yiyan's shoulder excitedly. For him, this time can be said to be the rest of his life!
