Chapter 60: The Sunset Is Half Covered
"Test me? I'm an authentic Shudi person! ”
Zhang Liangying became interested, and when she saw Rong Yu smiling, she couldn't help but say proudly in her heart.
"During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, a woman named Chen Mapo in Rongcheng made a delicious meal, speaking of which the production of Mapo tofu is also a coincidence, a few awesome people came to eat, the dishes were sold out, only a little minced beef and tofu were left, so in a hurry, the beef was chopped into foam, the tofu was cut into small square tuotuo, added watercress, added tempeh, plus some seasonings, and sprinkled a handful of pepper noodles and chili noodles in our Shu land, and the taste was very good."
When she spoke, she mixed some Shudi accents from time to time, and there was actually a very good taste.
Rong Yu gave her a thumbs up and set his eyes on Taibai Duck.
"There are more people who know about Taibai Duck, Li Bai dedicated the duck cooking method of Shu to Tang Xuanzong, and was given the name Taibai Duck by Tang Xuanzong. It's just that in the cooking process, Li Bai added improvements, and steamed them with 100 aged brewed Huadiao, wolfberry, notoginseng and seasonings. ”
Rong Yu gave her a thumbs up.
"As for the five fillet fish, it is said that it is Du Fu's, and it is said that it is Su Dongpo's, anyway, there are two theories, but the method is the same, so one dish, two legends."
"Boiling water cabbage is relatively simple, Huang Jinglin, a master of Sichuan cuisine during the Cixi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, brought it from the Qing Palace to Shudi, but this boiling water is not boiled water, it is made of very clear old hen soup."
Zhang Liangying is a foodie, and the origin of the four dishes is like a number of treasures, which is well-founded.
Rong Yu smiled when he listened, and Qian Duoduo opened his mouth wide when he heard it.
"That's right, I didn't think you're still a knowledgeable gourmet!" Rong Yu gave her a small compliment.
The compliment given by the chef made Zhang Liangying still couldn't help but be happy.
It's a bit of a pride to be recognized by an authority in a non-professional field.
Rong Yu glanced at Qian Duoduo, who was smiling a little silly, and said to Zhang Liangying: "These dishes have common characteristics, and they are all inherited. But the inheritors include small people in the market, talented people, and professional chefs. But what they have in common is similar. ”
"They are all one of the top ten famous dishes in Shudi."
Zhang Liangying is actually quite smart.
"yes!" Rong Yu nodded, "So there is a difference between identity and status, but there is no difference in the final achievement." It's like singing and cooking, every industry is the most extreme, and its achievement status and identity, do you think there is a difference? Or is it that the diva of the music world and the master of the state banquet cannot be compared? ”
Zhang Liangying fell silent.
"I used to read martial arts novels, and I always felt that the flying dragon was in the sky, and the eighteen palms of the dragon descending were the most dazzling and powerful martial arts in the world. But when it comes to the Dugu Nine Swords, which one is more powerful when it comes to breaking through ten thousand laws with a sword and no tricks to win? ”
"You mean, no matter what industry you are, as long as you achieve the extreme, you will eventually gain fame and fortune?"
Rong Yu nodded and smiled: "It's very comfortable to talk to smart people!" ”
"No wonder Duoduo is dead set on you." Zhang Liangying smiled and saw how much money there was.
Qian Duoduo winked mischievously at Rong Yu.
"So you try these dishes and you'll understand!" Rong Yu said to Zhang Liangying, "Please!" ”
Zhang Liangying was no longer polite.
Four dishes, each of which she tastes seriously. Since Rong Yu compares cooking with being a person and doing things, then she has to taste these dishes with this attitude of being a person and doing things.
After eating, Zhang Liangying put down the dishes and chopsticks, squinted her eyes slightly, and then felt a slight sense of wine, as well as the lingering fragrance between her lips and teeth, and the aftertaste between her mouth and tongue.
Rong Yu brought a cup of tea over, and then put the tea in front of Zhang Liangying.
"Black tea boiled passion fruit!"
Qian Duoduo glared at Rong Yu with his eyes.
"Don't worry!" Rong Yu is funny, Qian Duoduo's frankness is not disguised even in front of Zhang Liangying.
Then he brought another cup of tea and put it in front of Qian Duoduo, and the girl smiled happily. In front of Rong Yu, she maintained the eyes and emotions of her little girl.
"Delicious!"
Zhang Liangying only took a sip and couldn't help but praise it.
"Black tea can also boil passion fruit, what's the point?"
Rong Yu said with a smile: "The people of Bangguo have a tea ceremony of 'everything can be put into tea'. Whether it is grains, herbs, fruits, vegetables, etc., can be used in tea, and their tea ceremony originated in the monastery, with a certain utilitarian nature of Buddhism. The tea ceremony in Fuzhou, China, also pays attention to 'everything can be used for tea', but it is much stronger than the stick people. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Liangying looked at Rong Yu with interest.
"The tea drink of Fuzhou people lies in the fact that everything can be tea, and all things not only refer to fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc., but also refer to the taste of tea through matching, which is more conducive to people's health. This is the appearance of Fuzhou's tea. ”
At this time, Qian Duoduo is the best student, every time Rong Yu talks about these things, she is like an idiot student, listening stupidly, she just thinks it is amazing.
She had already felt that she was illiterate in front of Rong Yu more than once.
"The deeper reason is that tasting tea is like tasting life."
Zhang Liangying smiled slightly, feeling that it was a bit exaggerated.
"When Fuzhou people drink tea, they like to drill the air-raid shelter, drill into the hole, the cool breeze is blowing, like a natural air conditioner, cool and thorough. Sometimes a pot of tea, a few bushes of flower shadows, a tree knows how to sing, the slowness of the market, the fireworks in the world, which can not enter the tea into the heart? ”
"Therefore, drinking tea and tasting life is nothing more than this!"
Zhang Liangying nodded slowly.
"Take this cup of black tea boiled passion fruit, for example. After cooking, add a little honey, not much, just a little bit, which plays a role in adjusting the taste. The biggest benefit is that it can promote digestion, relieve fatigue, and nourish the stomach. During this time, you and Duoduo are running around, and eating and resting are problems, so take a drink to recuperate. ”
Rong Yu talked eloquently, and those who listened couldn't help but smile.
After eating, the two women listened to Rong Yu talk. Before you know it, you will see the dusk and sunset. Rong Yu stood up, walked to the window, pointed to Zhang Liangying, and pointed to the front of the window.
"That's my yard, where I cook private dishes."
Zhang Liangying walked over and looked at the exquisite courtyard pointed by Rong Yu in the distance through the window.
Qian Duoduo also proudly followed and stood at the window, holding one of Rong Yu's arms tightly with his two hands. Also looking at that exquisite courtyard.
"One day, when I want people to come to Xingsha, when I mention private dishes, the first thing that comes to mind is art cooking, and then Tan's cuisine and other private dishes."
When Qian Duoduo said this, he puffed out his chest.
"You're quite supportive of him!" Zhang Liangying smiled a lot at Qian Duoduo.
"No, he said it himself."
Rong Yu was stunned, he didn't seem to have said this to Qian Duoduo, he just said it to Huang Jia and Nie Xiaoqing. It must be that Huang Jia has become a traitor, and it is impossible for Nie Xiaoqing to be a traitor.
"Very good!"
Zhang Liangying smiled.
Judging from the taste of today's four dishes, there are at least certain conditions in place to achieve this goal. But not everything, as long as the craftsmanship is good, can achieve the goal.
It's like a lot of money, it's not that she sings well and writes songs well, so she can enter the top three. But when she thought that at the end of the competition, Qian Duoduo broke through many difficulties and won the third place, she couldn't help but look at Rong Yu.
It seems that this is not nonsense.
"Ahem......"
Zhang Liangying suddenly coughed dryly, turned her head to look at Rong Yu, and said in a half-joking tone: "Master Rong, the little girl wants to ask a question." ”
"Know everything!"
"Why is your private dish called Art Chef?" Zhang Liangying said, "I also know a lot of famous private dishes, whether it is Xingsha, Rongcheng, Pengcheng, or Magic City, they all have a characteristic in their names. That is, most of them are named by their surnames. For example, the Tan family cuisine you just mentioned. There are also Shengjia cuisine, Taojia cuisine, Guijia cuisine and so on. ”
"Rong family cuisine?"
"yes, why can't you afford that name? This also better publicizes the historical thickness of family learning inheritance! Attract high-quality customers! ”
Qian Duoduo also looked at Rong Yu expectantly.
"Art before cooking. Therefore, the art word comes first. Rong Yu said with a smile, "There are only a few kung fu for stir-frying, the so-called seven-point knife work, three-point hot stir-frying." I will take a few skills over and over again, but if you don't learn skills, you won't be able to do it when you are old. ”
Zhang Liangying looked at him with a smile, her eyes flickering, and motioned to Rong Yu for you to continue. By now, she already knew why Rong Yu was so good.
Some people can pull it, that's a flowery mouth, some people can pull it, that's real material.
Obviously, Rong Yu belongs to the latter.
"Actually, I just said when I was cooking, there are many things that are common to all industries. Singers should not only pay attention to singing skills, but also pay attention to artistic expression. The ultimate goal of singing is not to become a singer, but to become a pure artist. The same is true for chefs, who are pursuing their culinary skills at the same time as they are also pursuing the end of their culinary skills. ”
"Can you tell me the difference between a singer and an artist?"
Rong Yu looked at Zhang Liangying and smiled: "Aren't you very clear in your own heart?" Why ask me? If you ask someone, it can only show that you have not made up your mind about these two identities. ”
"Tell me about it!"
Qian Duoduo also wanted to hear it, but these two people hated it, so she directly wanted to get the answer.
"Singers are thinking about how to make money, and money is thinking about how to hire artists!"
Rong Yu said helplessly.
"Flutter!"
Zhang Liangying couldn't help laughing. It's just this smile, full of charm, a woman with a big grin, and suddenly she has a bit of a daughter's charm.
When Qian Duoduo heard this, he also understood, and couldn't help but smile and beat Rong Yu.
yes, isn't that a rule in many industries?
Zhang Liangying suddenly understood why Qian Duoduo defended Rong Yu so much, and expressed his feelings for Rong Yu so unscrupulously, on the one hand, because of Qian Duoduo's character, and on the other hand, because this man really has something worth being fascinated with.
"You're right."
Zhang Liangying also lamented that her dream when she was young was to become an artist, but now she is still far from this position.
An artist is not just a name given by an institution, but a sublimation of one's own heart.
I looked at the courtyard again, and saw that the courtyard was gradually half-hidden in the orange sunset. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and then look at Rong Yu.
Rong Yu's gaze as he looked at the courtyard was a little obsessed.
