"Master Chen Jian!" Lin Yiyan turned his head to Chen Jian behind him and said, "I'll be in charge of the knife work!" After speaking, Lin Yiyan unwrapped the package on his body and took out his own kitchen knife from it. Looking at the kitchen knife in his hand given by Master Abbey, the corners of Lin Yiyan's mouth lifted slightly, and he said silently in his heart, "Master... I won't fall into the prestige of our chrysanthemum downstairs! ”

Choosing a stove, scooping up a piece of whole tofu from the water and putting it in front of him, Lin Yiyan closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and suddenly burst out, "Drink~~!! ”

I only heard the rapid and uninterrupted collision between the kitchen knife and the cutting board of 'Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock~' suddenly sounded, and the complete tofu pieces were decomposed from under Lin Yiyan's knife like a goddess scattering flowers, and under Lin Yiyan's knife, each small piece of tofu seemed to have been calculated as if the general size, and at the same time, these small tofu pieces born from Lin Yiyan's knife fell into the prepared plate on the side in an orderly manner......

At the same moment when Lin Yiyan made his move, for Master Chen Jian, his heart at the moment could be said to be turbulent, he looked at Lin Yiyan with surprise, and kept guessing in his heart, who is this kid? Why did he see what was lacking in this kitchen as soon as he came in? And this knife work......

Thinking of this, Master Chen Jian looked at his daughter Chen Meiling, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seems that his youngest daughter has brought back an amazing person!

And Chen Yuli, who was originally full of doubts and displeasure with Lin Yiyan, was widening her eyes at the moment, and her mouth opened slightly, as if she had seen something extremely incredible. As for the little girl, Chen Meiling looked at Lin Yiyan with an expression of adoration.

Soon, the big tofu block in the entire bucket was cut clean in Lin Yiyan's gorgeous and unsolvable knife work, and Lin Yiyan shouted without a head, "The tofu is gone!" Give me tofu! ”

But Lin Yiyan's shouting was exchanged for silence, Lin Yiyan frowned at first, and then suddenly remembered that this was not the Ju downstairs where he stayed, so no one around would tacitly cooperate with him. You must know that what happened just now was completely the instinct of working in the kitchen downstairs from Ju!

Besides, the entire kitchen was completely sluggish and silent because of Lin Yiyan's performance. Lin Yiyan's voice instantly woke up the sluggish crowd. Master Chen Jian, who was the first to react, suddenly shouted, "Don't hurry up and work for me!" What a daze now! Don't keep outside guests waiting! ”

After shouting, Master Chen Jian immediately commanded one of them, "Chen Kong! You kid is responsible for adding ingredients to Lin Yiyan! As Master Chen Jian's words fell, the whole kitchen began to get busy again.

"Yi boy!" Master Chen Jian walked up to Lin Yiyan's side and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll be responsible for all your cut ingredients!" ”

With the vision of Chef Chen Jian as a chef for many years, he can completely see or distinguish that with Lin Yiyan's gorgeous knife skills and speed, ordinary chefs may not be able to keep up with Lin Yiyan's speed at all. So he can only go into battle by himself, and be responsible for Lin Yiyan one-on-one!

"Good! Then trouble Master Chen Jian! Lin Yiyan paused slightly, brandishing a kitchen knife in his hand, and nodded with a confident smile on his face, "As for the ingredients, you don't need to worry!" ”

Soon, both of them were getting busy. Lin Yiyan is responsible for cutting all kinds of ingredients, and Master Chen Jian is responsible for stir-frying. Although it is the first time for the two to cooperate, their self-esteem and pride as chefs make them unusually tacit, as if they have been friends for many years......

Time passes in the midst of busyness......

It wasn't until nightfall that the candles in the entire city of Chengdu were lit up that Chen Mapo's shop ended today's busy day. The guests left satisfied, and the chefs cleaned up and rested, and left one after another.

Lin Yiyan sat on the bench and let out a long breath while wiping the sweat from his forehead. I don't feel anything when I'm busy, but when it's over, the feeling of exhaustion instantly permeates my body.

Just when Lin Yiyan closed his eyes to recuperate and regain his energy, Master Chen Jian's smiling voice sounded from behind Lin Yiyan, "Come on!" Yi Boy! That's what you promised! ”

I saw Chef Chen Jian holding a large plate, and then put the prepared food on the long table that Lin Yiyan was leaning on. It's just that after seeing the food, Lin Yiyan was stunned, "It's so dark?" Pitch black? Master Chen Jian? This is... Mapo tofu? ”

Master Chen Jian didn't speak, just smiled and looked at Lin Yiyan and nodded. Lin Yiyan picked up the spoon, took a spoonful of tofu, first put it under his nose and smelled it, as if something flashed in his mind, Lin Yiyan muttered with a little curiosity, "It seems to have some familiar taste, just black mapo tofu?" Are there any special ingredients used in this? ”

Since he couldn't smell all the flavor inside, Lin Yiyan put this spoonful of mapo tofu into his mouth, and the moment he entered it-

"Ah——! Babble, babble——!! Not...! Not...! Boom! Oh, oh! ”

Accompanied by a series of onomatopoeia, Lin Yiyan was sweating profusely by the extremely spicy taste of this mapo tofu. Seeing Lin Yiyan's reaction, Master Chen Jian said with a smile, "This is the ultimate use of the authentic 'Yuheng Mapo Tofu' - the extremely spicy 'Ah Baba Oh' cooking method!" ”

"The moment the tofu is entered, the whole mouth is numb, and I can't help but make an 'ah' sound, and the spiciness spreads to the depths of the body through the tongue, and the throat 'babbles' for it. The three flavors of tofu, chili pepper and Sichuan pepper are blended together, and it is as delicious as burning, and people can't help but 'hmm... Hmm' made a positive sound. ”

"Then the spiciness poured back into the throat again, making people 'huh-' pop out of the roar, and finally they couldn't even close their mouths, they could only exhale hard!" Speaking of this, Master Chen Jian also explained smugly, "The five steps of 'ah, babble, hmm, huh, oh' are the highest voice of spicy. ”

"I see!" poured cold water on himself, and Lin Yiyan's eyes lit up, "Master Chen Jian!" This mapo tofu looks so 'pitch black', and it is added - Sichuan pepper! ”

"Huh!" Master Chen Jian looked at Lin Yiyan in surprise, his stunned face was full of incredulity, what is going on with this little ghost? I actually knew the secret inside just by tasting it, and there is still such a ...... in the world

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Master Chen Jian nodded in affirmation of Lin Yiyan's answer, "That's right! The secret of this 'pitch black' mapo tofu is Sichuan pepper! This is one of the best peppercorns with a history of 2,000 years in Sichuan! ”

"No wonder Master Chen Jian, you call him 'Yuheng Mapo Tofu'! It contains ingredients that have a large amount of sweating effect and have an effect on improving arthritis symptoms - that is, Sichuan pepper, one of the Sichuan peppercorns that has been known as the god of the fifth star of the Big Dipper since ancient times, and its "divine power" is highly respected! ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yiyan ate the mapo tofu on the plate very quickly, and then sighed to Chen Jian with a smile, "Master Chen Jian, this Yuheng mapo tofu dish of yours, he can be said to be the ultimate mapo tofu!" After passing Master's strict test, it was indeed right to come out on a trip! It's amazing to see such a blissful meal! ”

"Thank you for your advice, Master Chen Jian!" After speaking, Lin Yiyan suddenly got up and bowed to Jian Chen! Seeing this, Master Chen Jian was taken aback, "Haha! Yi boy, you can learn that's your ability. However, I'm really curious, ...... your master? ”

"Oh~!" Lin Yiyan scratched his head in embarrassment, "The family teacher is Master Abbey!" ”

"The person in charge of Ju downstairs? Master Abbe, known as the Sichuan fairy? Jian Chen's eyes widened, and then he muttered to himself, "I should have thought of it when I saw your age, there don't seem to be many people in China who can teach such a powerful apprentice!" No wonder I always have a familiar feeling when I look at your gorgeous knife skills and cooking skills! It turned out ......"

"Master Chen Jian praised it falsely, I will come here because Master respects you very much, so I came." Listening to Lin Yiyan's words, Master Chen Jian laughed out loud, "To be able to get the praise of Sichuan fairies, my Chen Mapo shop is also a blessing!" ”

"However, I still want to thank you today, Yi boy! If it weren't for your help, I think it would be hard for me to get busy today. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, hehe! To be honest, the first dish I practiced downstairs was mapo tofu, so I was still very confident in mapo tofu cooking. And Master Chen Jian, your family is the origin of mapo tofu, so for me, I have to come to see it. ”

In the following time, Lin Yiyan and Master Chen Jian kept discussing more topics about mapo tofu until the entire Chengdu city was darkened......

Following

The entrance of Chen Mapo's store......

"Yi boy! I won't say much superfluous, be careful on the road! It's a pleasure to discuss cooking with you. As he spoke, Master Chen Jian put a roll of handbooks into Lin Yiyan's hand, "This is a copy of our Chen family's experience and summary of mapo tofu that I specially copied last night, and I will hand it over to you!" Also, the training of the Grand Chef is also going to be refueled! ”

Looking at the miscellaneous hands in his hand, Lin Yiyan opened his mouth, and then nodded heavily, "Okay!" Thank you Master Chen Jian, then I will accept it unceremoniously! ”

"Brother Yi! Be careful on the road! Meiling will miss you! Regarding the little girl's innocent words, Lin Yiyan smiled and rubbed the other party's little head, "In the future, Meiling, you must inherit Chen Mapo's shop, don't fall into the prestige of Master Chen Jian!" ”

Then, Lin Yiyan looked at Master Chen Jian, eldest daughter Chen Yuli, second son Chen Kong, and second daughter Chen Meiling, who saw him off, and waved to them, "Everyone, go back!" I'll go first! ”

"Goodbye~~!!"

"Brother Yi! Be careful on the road! ”

Looking at Lin Yiyan's distant figure, Chen Jian sighed with a smile, "In the future, there will be an amazing chef in the culinary world of China!" ”
