Chapter 174: Technique and Art
Rong Yu sent a message to Qian Duoduo.
Then Qian Duoduo sent a video.
Qian Duoduo in the video is wearing the costume of the performance, a pleated skirt, the fluffy kind, the kind of skirt that can sing and dance at the same time, and can swing around.
"Let me show you where I rehearsed." Qian Duoduo showed off to Rong Yu, "This is the world's first-class lighting and sound. Tut-tut, I now know that I'm also a little bit of a well-watcher. β
"Don't say you're a toad!" Rong Yu is colorful.
"What the hellβ" Qian Duoduo braked violently, after all, it was the scene of the rehearsal, and several staff members came over and waved at the camera.
"Hey, hello brother-in-law-hee-hee-ha-"
It's a long way to go.
"How's it going? Do you feel like you're in great shape? Qian Duoduo looked at Rong Yu with a smile.
"No, our Duoduo is the best!" Rong Yu immediately replied reflexively.
"Haha, pass!" Qian Duoduo laughed and waved his hand, "Okay, for the sake of your diligence today, I'll take you a few pictures of the dancing girls we have here." β
"Don't, don't, I'm a tried and tested person!" Rong Yu immediately refused with righteous words, "But there is something I want to tell you." β
Qian Duoduo saw that Rong Yu said very solemnly, so he didn't joke, but his gentle eyes never moved away. Find a place and sit on the ground with your butt crossed, not afraid of getting dirty.
"Say, even if it's a marriage proposal, I can withstand it." Qian Duoduo had light in his eyes.
Rong Yu scolded: "I didn't buy the house, it's a fart." Something about you. Rong Yu told Qian Duoduo about Guan Youxun's words that He Zai had come to tell him.
"So...... I personally killed you an opportunity to enter the film and television industry. You're not going to be angry, are you? β
Qian Duoduo snorted: "I thought something was wrong." β
"You really don't regret it?"
"It's not unusual!" Qian Duoduo also said seriously, "I know where my pursuit is, now I have no foundation, no background, how can I be distracted to do other things?" Lay the foundation and practice diligently, this is my current state, otherwise how would I go to the Golden Hall and sing to you? β
Rong Yu gave a thumbs up to this sober girl in the world.
"Love you, husband, knowing that you think about me!" Qian Duoduo's big face suddenly approached, and his huge mouth came to the camera, making a "chirp" sound, and then the lens was polluted by water stains.
This stupid woman has to kiss the camera every time to stop. It seems that this is how Rong Yu really kissed.
"Fool!" Rong Yu scolded with a smile and said goodbye to her.
Qian Duoduo is a sober person, from the time she started to be Rong Yu's neighbor, she was sober. From the time she began to plan Rong Yu, she was sober with a desperate bet.
She was lucky enough to meet Rong Yu.
That was when she was swaying in the lonely sea of life, and when there was no way to retreat, she met Rong Yu. Then he was with Rong Yu without hesitation, slowly fused together, and mixed the fates of the two together.
That's what she's sober.
Rong Yu sat at a fried noodle stall on the street, and opposite him sat Wang Tiejun and Fan Ran. In front of the three of them is Sanfen fried noodles. Fan Ran picked up the noodles and ate them very deliciously.
Wang Tiejun had already eaten half of it.
Only Rong Yu's fried noodles have not moved. Hurry up.
"I'll take you to eat Tan's dishes tomorrow." Rong Yu said, "I made an appointment a week ago. It just so happens that tomorrow is also the holiday time of the art chef, so there will be no delay. β
"Master, let's go to the gym!" Wang Tiejun was very excited, and his eyes lit up.
It stands to reason that Rong Yu goes to play in the gym, and it is the highest level of duel. This kind of scene is hard to come by. It's a bit of a rush to try.
are in their thirties, and they are still so uncalm.
Fan Ran also reluctantly stopped eating noodles, raised his head, and looked at Rong Yu with some expectation. It turns out that he is not an otaku who only knows how to cook.
There is a fiery pursuit in my heart, and I want to try to compete with others.
"What do you think? You think it's a martial arts competition, and you're still kicking the gym! Rong Yu scolded with a smile, "We're going to eat, let you feel for yourself." See how you differ from them. Cooking and cultivating the art of enlightenment is not done behind closed doors, we need to see more to observe and comprehend. β
"Got it!"
As soon as he said this, the old chef Wang Tiejun immediately understood.
Early the next morning, Nie Xiaoqing went shopping and invited an unlucky girlfriend who didn't know which one it was. Self-shopping, wandering around without spending money, is really full. At least that's what Rong Yu thinks.
Huang Jia drove and used his BMW X4 to carry Rong Yu, Wang Tiejun, Fan Ran and Lei Xiao, a total of five people, and first went to find a more famous private restaurant for lunch.
I looked for it temporarily, but I didn't wait, and when I went in, there was still a vacant private room.
The waiter served the dishes, six dishes for five people.
This private restaurant is famous for its small bowl dishes. So I ordered three small bowl dishes. A dry pot duck, a dry pot warped fish, and a dry pot cauliflower.
A meal was eaten for almost an hour.
After eating, Rong Yu asked, "How do you feel?" β
Wang Tiejun was the first to say: "This level is similar to when I was a chef in the hotel before. Dry pot dishes are generally made by chefs, especially chefs who are used to Hunan cuisine. It's easy to get started. β
"If you were to make these three dry pot dishes, what would you do now?" Rong Yu continued to ask.
Wang Tiejun said: "There won't be much difference in the approach. But...... There will be different allusions that will be passed down to the customers who eat. Let them feel the culture and heritage of food, so as to delight their minds and bodies. β
Rong Yu continued to ask: "If you want to stir-fry and don't have time to come over and talk about these things to customers?" β
Wang Tiejun was stunned.
Yes, what if there is no chance to talk about these so-called inheritances and histories and legends? How can we delight our customers' mind, body and taste?
Rong Yu continued to ask: "If you encounter ingredients, allusions, histories, and legends that you don't know, how can you let customers accept spiritual baptism, so as to enhance the pleasure of food?" β
Wang Tiejun was dumbfounded.
This is not right, why is it different from what I used to see the master do?
Rong Yu sighed: "We have gone from skill to art, in fact, we want to have a correct understanding of cooking. Art is not just about history and heritage, legends, poems, and the like. β
Wang Tiejun immediately sat up straight. He knew that Rong Yu rarely said anything at the level of feelings, because he needed to understand it himself, so he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Fan Ran had already sat up silently.
"If a chef only emphasizes how high-end his ingredients are and how delicate his cooking is, then this is only a technical level. And for technology, it is the easiest to pursue. β
The two nodded together.
Rong Yu continued: "And the art of gastronomy has risen to the level of itself and its customers. The first is what kind of degree we want to achieve, and the second is what kind of enjoyment we want to provide customers. And in between, the chef's own feelings may be greater than the customer's feelings. β
"Why is this happening?" This time it was Fan Ran who asked.
Rong Yu continued: "Artists and musicians are often very individualistic when they create works. And this kind of personality is the creator's own feelings, and when he creates, he is immersed in the spiritual world of his own body, rather than considering the spiritual world of every listener or audience. β
The two of them don't seem to understand.
"Beethoven's 'Destiny' is his own struggle against fate, and then after we listen to it, we have empathy, so we have empathy emotions." Rong Yu continued to say simply, "Just like a chef, when we make this dish, the first thing we consider is our own taste perception of the dish, and after making it, the customer agrees with it, which arouses taste empathy, so the dish can cause emotional pleasure to the customer." β
The two still don't seem to understand.
It's just that Wang Tiejun could only touch the back of his head, while Fan Ran was thoughtful. In fact, they all seem to understand but don't understand. After all, neither of them has a very high cultural background, and they are slow to react to theoretical things.
"For example, braised soft-shelled turtle!"
As soon as he talked about this, Wang Tiejun said "hehe" twice, a little embarrassed.
"There are many things that arouse the empathy of diners, such as color and flavor, which can be achieved with the most basic technology. There is also an artistic technique to enhance this pleasant mood, the name of the dish stewed soft-shelled turtle in chicken soup - Farewell My Concubine. β
Wang Tiejun slapped it, then stood up reluctantly, pointing his fingers at the dishes on the table, and his mouth seemed to cry out with a sudden realization of "ahhhhhh
"I see, it's ...... I just can't say it! β
Because I don't understand, I'm a little anxious.
Fan Ran suddenly said: "If this dish is called braised soft-shelled turtle, then it is a technical thing." But if this dish is called Farewell My Concubine, then it is an artistic thing. β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Tiejun immediately slapped his thigh again, "It's still a young man's brain that reacts faster." That's what it means, hehe, Master, right? β
Rong Yu smiled and nodded: "That's basically the truth." You don't even have to say any heritage or story, just the name of a dish can evoke emotional empathy, and that's part of art. For example, a painting of an old peasant's wrinkled face. If thou wilt be called a peasant, thou shalt be called father. Then the former is called painting, and the latter is called art. β
"I see!" Wang Tiejun let out a long breath.
After saying it in such an easy-to-understand way, the two apprentices had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. So not only Wang Tiejun was smiling, but Fan Ran was also happy.
There's nothing like this face-to-face teaching.
"So how can this dry pot warping fish be artistically artistic?" Wang Tiejun said again, "How do you come up with a name that makes people interested?" β
Rong Yu said: "First of all, we must arouse appetite from the technical level. For example, color and fragrance. Then there is the artistic level, such as the shape of a dish, the name of the dish, and the withering of the dish, which Lao Wang knows. β
Wang Tiejun nodded, as a chef, the withering worker must pass the test.
"Even the shape of the plate can arouse the emotions of the diners, so this is not something that can be achieved in one or two aspects, art has always been a comprehensive creation."
Rong Yu said, and then asked Wang Tiejun: "If you only use the name of the dish for artistic processing, what name should you choose?" β
Wang Tiejun touched the back of his head, and was stunned for a long time before he said: "There was a fire under the pot, and it affected the warping fish." β
Rong Yu laughed, this is uneducated!
