Chapter Eighty-Six: The Trumpet Flower of Ice Muscle and Jade Bone (Asking for Subscription)
He Zailai has always been an elegant person.
If he wears a green shirt, he is a noble man who walked between temples and rivers and lakes in ancient times. Such a person, in Rong Yu's opinion, lives elegantly. The transparency of the world can be seen in the food.
Right now, it's a person with a high rank.
And Zhang Desheng is a seemingly cheesy and straightforward, naΓ―ve and stubborn old man.
But if you really want to treat him as a harmless old man, you may suffer a big loss.
"Look at it, look at it, just these few dishes, the ingredients are not high-end. What kind of pig's feet, pork ribs, corn, tofu, and this beef, chicken feet, duck feet, goose wings, etc., those who dare to blacken their hearts will receive 50,000 yuan. β
While eating, drinking, and playing, Zhang Desheng saw the bill handed over by Nie Xiaoqing, and began to complain.
"Lao He, take a look, is it black-hearted. We're still regular customers, isn't that a killing? β
Zhang Desheng yelled fiercely, and glared at Nie Xiaoqing.
Nie Xiaoqing pursed her lips, chuckled, covered her cherry mouth with her hand, and said, "Don't embarrass me, old man, just say it to Brother Yu, don't look at me." β
He Zailai laughed: "It's worth it, it's worth it." β
When you finish eating and drinking, remove the warming table. By this time it was already dark. The lights on the small building lit up, and the light shining from the window just made the plum blossom trees have a dim light, and the moonlight was like water, pouring between the plum trees, this kind of scenery made He Zailai can't help but high-five.
"In the past, I could only rely on imagination to understand the artistic conception of the two sentences of 'sparse shadows, horizontal slopes, clear water, dark fragrance, floating moon dusk', but I didn't expect to be able to experience it here."
He Zai was very emotional.
Under the plum tree, in the shadow of the moon, a woman in a cheongsam came over with a teapot, poured a cup of tea for everyone, performed an ancient squatting salute, took a few steps back, and then turned around and walked away lightly.
There is no jerkiness of the first time at all.
But when he walked away, he was still a little flustered, and he almost mentioned the steps by accident.
"How did you come up with the idea of doing a squatting salute? It's a good match for this scene! Xiao Xu asked Zhou Hui.
Zhou Hui was a little embarrassed, and pulled her hair: "I'...... I...... That's how Sister Qing looks......"
When Nie Xiaoqing poured tea for Zhang Desheng and He Zai before eating, he did a squatting salute. Zhou Hui actually saw this and remembered it with her heart.
"Promised!" Xiao Xu smiled at her and joked.
Zhou Hui became more and more embarrassed, lowered her head, and forgot to put the teapot back in her hand.
"Alas, cooking, cooking, eating is not only food, but also a state of mind!"
After He Zai watched Zhou Hui walk away with the teapot, he praised Rong Yu.
"In the past, I have tasted food, those good places, and the signature dishes of famous chefs, and they have a common characteristic is to pay attention to details, and the details will be taken to the extreme."
Rong Yu nodded in agreement.
"But even if the details are exquisite, sometimes it always feels like something is missing."
He Zailai's emotion is real.
"I don't think Brother Rong made a flower in today's dish, the plate is casual, and it doesn't look good at all. What about the details? β
Zhang Desheng deliberately wanted to create an atmosphere.
Rong Yu smiled: "I agree, but I must do this." β
"Haha, that's a good thing to say!"
He Zailai also nodded and said: "Details are one thing, but if you pay too much attention to details and ignore other aspects, then you will lose paranoia." It seems to have embarked on an evil path. β
Rong Yu agrees.
Zhang Desheng smiled and said, "You see he nodded again." β
Rong Yu said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, in fact, cooking has never been a thing in one direction. It is a comprehensive art. Details are only one part of this art. β
"yes, that's right." He Zailai also clapped his hands, as if talking about his heart, "I think that cooking is like literature and art, music, art and even film and television, it is a comprehensive art." Anyone who underestimates this art will not be able to reach the pinnacle of art. β
"It's the difference between a craftsman and an artist."
Zhang Desheng came up with a classic sentence.
"Haha, Lao Zhang, I knew you were pretending, and you started pretending from the moment you came here!" He Zai pointed at him and laughed, and then looked at Rong Yu, "Don't be deceived by his appearance." β
"I am friends with Lao Zhang. Don't look at the surface of anything, it's enough to understand it. β
Rong Yu explained.
"This sentence won my heart!" Zhang Desheng patted Rong Yu's shoulder with one hand, and turned his head to look at He Zailai, "Look, this is a bosom friend, and people like you are not necessarily in love." β
"If you use the wrong word, men and women will fall in love." Rong Yu also smiled, "Between men and men, it is called like-mindedness and heart-to-heart." β
He Zai interrupted: "You just messed up and interrupted our topic." β
Rong Yu continued: "When it comes to cooking, I have some experience. Skills, arts, and Taoism. Three levels, this is just my personal understanding and experience. β
"Tell me about it!" He Zai Lai was very interested.
"The technique is close to the Tao, and the art can be channeled, and in the end it all points to one goal, that is, the Tao. Cooking is the ultimate form of cooking. It's a pity...... Cooking, I'm just thinking about it. It still needs to be explored. β
Rong Yu did not hide it, and told his experience and feelings.
This kind of thing can't be learned, you have to rely on your understanding and the kung fu in your hands. Only when the art is at the extreme can it be possible to achieve enlightenment, otherwise there is really no way to achieve the ultimate point.
In the learning of culinary arts, the leapfrog development is all vain.
He Zai came to drink tea while admiring the festival.
"If you can understand this truth, you can become a family of your own. Why not open a mountain? β
He Zailai's proposal is actually very meaningful.
In today's culinary world, there are many factions. In addition to the eight major cuisines in the general direction, there are also various "gang dishes", and there are also personal established systems, such as "Tan family cuisine", "ancestral nunnery cuisine", "Suiyuan cuisine", "Confucian cuisine" and so on.
Rong Yu smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't my art chef going in this direction?" β
He is a wise person, and he will understand when he hears it.
If the art chef has a place in Xingsha, or even surpasses Xingsha's Tan family cuisine, then it should be a self-contained cuisine. Of course, you have to be your own family, and you have to have your own unique recipes.
Now it seems that there is no fixed recipe for art chefs, which is a problem in He Zai's view.
But this problem is not a problem at all in Rong Yu's opinion. In addition to the famous cuisine, the art chef has its own unique recipe that does not have a fixed recipe.
But he didn't talk to He Zai, because it would probably be a point of argument between him and Ho Zai. Once an atmosphere of argument is formed, it becomes meaningless.
Different dishes, cooked in the most unique way, and then choose the common point between the dishes and the taste of the diners, and find the balance of taste, this is the reason why I want to be different from other cuisines.
Otherwise, even if the dish is too good, the flavor will solidify after the recipe is formed.
The taste is solidified and then the benefit, that is, the taste is constant and not easy to go wrong. But once it is cured, it will form a situation where you will get tired after eating it a few times.
Even if it is the Tan family's cuisine, you will get tired of eating it every day!
If you don't get tired, then you can't let the way you cook solidify. If there is no feature, it is the biggest feature. Characteristics are nothing more than a kind of solidified label attached.
But it's hard to do that.
He Zailai agrees with Rong Yu's view that cooking is a comprehensive art, so he will not necessarily agree with Rong Yu's point of view. After all, he is also a person who has been immersed in the way of food for many years, and he also has his own unique opinions.
Eating good food, not only the food, but also the environment, mood and the people who eat it together, these are all factors that influence.
Anyway, today, He Zai is very happy.
When he was leaving, when he went out, he put a hand on Rong Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "There are many chefs I admire, but there is only one master chef I admire so far." That's you, brother! β
Rong Yu was modest: "A master, how should I answer your words?" β
"Afford it!" He Zai laughed, patted Rong Yu on the shoulder, then waved his hand, said goodbye to Rong Yu, came out of the yard, and walked towards the vehicle parked outside the yard. Someone was waiting there, helped him open the car door and sat in the back seat.
Zhang Desheng waited for He Zai to come and go out, and also put it on Rong Yu's shoulder, and put his mouth to Rong Yu's ear and smiled: "How is it?" Lao He is also an interesting person, right? β
"I know what you mean, brother." Rong Yu smiled, "I won't say thank you, I'll give you a nine-percent discount next time." β
Zhang Desheng smiled: "In the end, it's a door-picking, it's better not to discount!" β
The two laughed, and Rong Yu asked: "Do you know that my woman has a lot of money?" β
When Zhang Desheng heard this, he laughed.
"I don't know, and don't ask me. If you want to ask the person yourself, or should I call him back? β
The old guy had an ambiguous smile.
Rong Yu said angrily: "The nine-percent discount is gone." β
Zhang Desheng laughed, then stepped out of the gate of the small courtyard and looked at the parked vehicles over there: "If you have the opportunity to go to the capital in the future, you will naturally know." Let's go! β
After saying that, he also smiled and walked towards the parking lot over there.
Rong Yu watched the cars in the parking lot drive away in turn.
The headlights turned and he couldn't see it, Rong Yu turned around and saw a person standing behind him, startled him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Excuse me, the next time you walk behind me, make some noise, and sooner or later I will be scared to death by you."
Nie Xiaoqing smiled: "Am I not beautiful today?" β
"Borrowing water to bloom is a strange thing, and water sinks into bones and jade for muscle." After Rong Yu said a word, he turned around and left.
Nie Xiaoqing was very happy to hear it, ice muscles and jade bones.
"What do you mean?" Nie Xiaoqing knew what it meant, but she had to ask, just when she wanted Rong Yu to explain to herself, she praised herself again.
This careful thinking, the little abacus is only clicking!
"These two sentences are talking about daffodils, and daffodils are also called trumpet flowers in our house." Rong Yu said without looking back, "You are a big horn." β
I'm so angry!
Nie Xiaoqing, pawn!
