Dining room seven, in the kitchen.

Today is another weekend, but Jiang Yu is not idle, and Jia Dequan is hiding in the kitchen, one occupying a stove, and each is frying.

Both of them have extraordinary cooking skills, and the speed of cooking is also very fast, and in less than a while, they each prepared three dishes, and the whole kitchen was filled with the enticing aroma of food.

Yan Tongtong stood outside the kitchen door, couldn't help but sniff, looking at the dishes on the counter, and couldn't help but flash a trace of doubt in his eyes.

She was temporarily "caught" by Jiang Yu to help, and she couldn't understand why Jia Dequan and Jiang Yu, the old and the young, hid upstairs and were stir-frying.

If they want to eat something delicious, then why are the three dishes fried by the two of them exactly the same?

Could it be that this is a competition of cooking skills?

Well, it must be like this, otherwise, there is no need to fry each plate of the same dish!

Yan Tongtong was thinking about this, when she suddenly saw Jiang Yu turn her head to look at her, and asked:

"Xiao Yan, is Sister Chen here?"

Yan Tongtong came back to her senses suddenly, and hurriedly nodded and said:

"Oh, Sister Chen is already here, there are two people in total, I took them to the 'Spring' box."

"That's okay, let's serve the food, you can help Lao Jia."

Jiang Yu commanded her, turned his head and smiled at Jia Dequan, and asked,

"Lao Jia, what do you guess will happen?"

"Is this still a guess? I know what I cook, but it doesn't have the magic effect you said. ”

As if he had known the result, Jia Dequan shook his head and said,

"You look at it, she will only taste one bite of these dishes I cook, and there will be no more."

"This hasn't started yet, how do you know?"

Jiang Yu put the prepared dishes on the food delivery car, stretched out his hand and pulled a handful of Jia Dequan, and said with a smile,

"The dishes made by the cooking master can't be eaten by ordinary people if they want to, you see, Xiao Yan's saliva is about to flow out!"

As soon as he heard this, Yan Tongtong's face turned red with a "swoop", lowered his head and pushed the food delivery cart, and hurriedly walked forward.

"You kid!"

When Jia Dequan saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he raised his hand and nodded at Jiang Yu, shook his head and sighed,

"You can't speak so much, be careful to beat a bachelor for the rest of your life!

You have to learn from my old man, girls are very face-saving, how can you say this in front of outsiders? ”

Jiang Yu raised his hand and touched his nose, and said with some embarrassment:

"Well, I'm just talking about it casually, just kidding......"

Jia Dequan shook his head vigorously, this kid is hopeless, let him beat the single!

After a while, Jiang Yu and Jia Dequan came to the "Spring" box, and at this time, Yan Tongtong had already pushed the food delivery car in.

In the box, in addition to Pan Jingchen, there is also a girl who is her life assistant Liu Qian.

Jiang Yu stepped forward and helped Yan Tongtong put all the six dishes on the table, and the three dishes made by Jia Dequan and the dishes he made were all disrupted.

Except for themselves, now even Yan Tongtong can't tell which dish is made by whom, let alone Pan Jingchen, who has been waiting in the box from beginning to end.

After all the six dishes were put on the table, Jiang Yu said to Pan Jingchen with a smile:

"Sister Chen, I have already told you before, today I mainly want to try it, in addition to the dishes I cooked, can you eat the dishes of other masters.

One is to see how you're recovering.

On the other hand, I also want to verify whether you were willing to eat my food because it tasted good or because of other reasons.

This is very important to me, so thank you Sister Chen in advance! ”

Pan Jingchen listened to Jiang Yu calmly, then pursed his lips and smiled, and said lightly:

"Thanks for what? You've helped me so much before, and I haven't even thanked you, not to mention, you're also helping me.

You say, what do you want me to do? ”

Jiang Yu said: "Actually, it's very simple, there are three dishes here, each of which is made in two servings, you can taste it casually, mainly to see which three dishes you like to eat the most." ”

The three dishes on the table are one fried pork from the farmhouse, one is sweet and sour carp, and the last is black fungus with vinegar pepper.

These three dishes, many cuisines have their figures, and they are also home cooking dishes in the homes of the people of Sanjin.

"That's fine."

Pan Jingchen picked up the chopsticks, looked up at Jiang Yu and the others who had been looking at him, and said with a smile,

"Sit down all of you, and don't you want to eat together later?" They all stood there watching me eat, and I was so stressed. ”

"Okay, let's all sit down."

Jiang Yu smiled, turned his head to greet Jia Dequan and Yan Tongtong, and each found a place to sit down.

After everyone was seated, Pan Jingchen glanced at the six dishes on the table again, then stretched out his chopsticks, grabbed a sweet and sour carp with chopsticks closest to him, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly.

Jiang Yu saw it very clearly, as soon as the fish meat entered her mouth, Pan Jingchen's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but soon stretched out again.

After eating the fish in her mouth, she didn't speak, and reached out to grab the sweet and sour carp on another plate with chopsticks.

This time, Pan Jingchen put the fish meat in his mouth, chewed it a few times, his eyes lit up, and before he could swallow the food in his mouth, he couldn't help but reach out and grab a chopstick fish.

She raised her head and glanced at Jiang Yu and the others, and said:

"These two plates of sweet and sour fish taste delicious, but I don't know why, I just want to eat the latter plate."

She frowned and thought for a moment, then added,

"Well, if you haven't had depression, you may not be able to understand that feeling, but people who have depression are surrounded by sadness and despair every day, and they feel helpless.

When I tasted this plate of sweet and sour carp, it was as if a gap had been opened in the cage that surrounded me, and I saw hope of escaping.

But the plate of sweet and sour carp in front of me is sweet and sour, and the taste is very delicious, but this is a stimulus to the taste buds, and I will still have a trace of resistance in my heart.

Well, that's about it, you understand? ”

After listening to Pan Jingchen's words, Jia Dequan and Jiang Yu couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Jia Dequan couldn't help but shake his head, with some incredulity on his face, and said:

"Miss Pan described it very clearly, you can't eat the food made by others, but you can eat the food made by Xiao Jiang, which is already very revealing.

This is not a question of whether the food is good or not, but what Xiao Jiang makes, and what he makes with others is not the same thing. ”

"It's all the same ingredients, the same seasoning, it's just a different person, how can it become something different?"

Jiang Yu raised a hand and scratched his head, although he had already guessed, but the facts were really in front of him, he was a little incredulous,

"I think, Sister Chen's situation may be an individual case, or let's find a few more people to try?"

"It's the same as if you find as many people as you want."

Jia Dequan glanced at Jiang Yu with slanted eyes, pouted and said,

"You've been open for so long, don't you have any points in your heart?

Don't say anything else, just say that the soup dumpling you made can actually make the precious grandson of the old Lu family run away from home and come to you to work for you, do you think this is normal? ”

As he spoke, he shook his head again and muttered,

"I still have self-knowledge, even if the food I cook is delicious, others will only praise it for being delicious, but I will never think of coming to work for me."

Jiang Yu: "......"

Brother Xiaowu is greedy for the deliciousness of soup dumplings, and he wants to be able to eat them at any time, so he comes to my store to do things, isn't it normal?

Not only Brother Xiaowu, isn't your old Jia like this?

I don't think there's anything wrong!

Of course, he would never dare to say this, otherwise, Lao Jia would definitely be annoyed and angry, jump up and hit himself on the head!

"Okay, Senior Brother Xiao Jiang, hurry up and eat, if you don't eat it again, this fish won't taste good if it's cold."

At this moment, Pan Jingchen opened his mouth to greet him,

"Old man, Xiao Yan, you guys eat together!"

"Well, eat together, eat together!"

Jiang Yu nodded, didn't think much about these things, picked up the chopsticks and put a small fried farmhouse pork made by Jia Dequan into his mouth and ate it.

Just chewed a few times, his eyes lit up, this meat is tender and juicy, spicy and refreshing, take a bite, feel like your taste buds are going to explode, it is definitely a "rice artifact"!

Lao Jia is worthy of being a top chef with the title of culinary master, and the dishes he makes are delicious!

Like Jiang Yu, Jia Dequan didn't eat his own dishes, so he picked up his chopsticks and took a sweet and sour carp made by Jiang Yu with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

To make this sweet and sour carp, you generally need to marinate the carp first, then starch it, fry the puff pastry, and finally boil the sweet and sour sauce and drizzle it.

The resulting dish has a crispy carp crust and tender meat, and the sweet and sour sauce is not only sweet and sour, but also very delicious.

Jiang Yu's cooking, Jia Dequan has never eaten anything that is not delicious, and this sweet and sour carp is the same, the sweet and sour taste, coupled with the tender and flavorful fish, makes him think of his wife.

Although decades have passed, he still remembers very clearly that his wife was also very beautiful when she was young, just like Yan Tongtong, young and beautiful, lively and cute.

She likes to eat the rock sugar gourd she secretly brought to her the most.

The hawthorn balls, wrapped in crystal clear sugar coating, are strung one by one on long bamboo skewers, red and shiny, shining with an alluring luster.

Just such a string of sugar gourds, she was always reluctant, so she had to eat them one by one, so she took a bite, Lao Jia also took a bite, and then the two of them looked at each other and giggled.

This mouthful of sugar gourd, sweet with sour, sour with sweetness, like the days when he was young, and also like the love between him and her.

It's a pity that she didn't wait for his hair to turn gray, so she went ahead of him.

Thinking about it, Jia Dequan's eyes full of vicissitudes suddenly became blurred, like a layer of fog.

He woke up suddenly, quickly took out a tissue and wiped his eyes, and began to eat sweet and sour carp with chopsticks one chopstick after another.

Jiang Yu, who was sitting on the side, saw this scene clearly, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, why did this old Jia eat and shed tears?

Looking at his emotional face, I don't know what I remembered.

He wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he still thought it was over.

Everyone is in tears, it must not be a happy thing, so why should I mention other people's sad things?

Shaking his head, Jiang Yu didn't care about Lao Jia's affairs anymore, and continued to eat silently.

Not to mention, the dishes made by the master chef are indeed delicious, and Jiang Yu can't stop eating.

And Yan Tongtong and Pan Jingchen's assistant Liu Qian are much simpler, they don't care who makes these dishes, anyway, every dish on this table is countless times better than what they used to eat.

So why bother with who's doing it? Just eat it with your eyes closed!

Anyway, every bite of the dish is the ultimate delicacy and a carnival for the taste buds!

This meal, everyone ate very happily, five people and six dishes, all of them were eaten cleanly, leaving only a mess.

After sending Pan Jingchen and her life assistant Liu Qian away, Jia Dequan turned his head to look at Jiang Yu, and said with emotion on his face:

"Xiao Jiang, I kind of know why I like to eat your food so much."

Jiang Yu turned his head and asked curiously, "Why?" ”

"The food you cook seems to be able to release different emotional values according to different people's life experiences, it is like a master key that can open locks of different specifications."

Jia Dequan thought about it, and expressed his understanding as clearly as possible, he glanced at Jiang Yu, who looked ignorant, shook his head and said,

"Then let me put it another way, do you know what was in my mind when I tasted the sweet and sour carp you made before?"

Jiang Yu subconsciously asked, "What do you think?" ”

He only saw Jia Dequan wiping his tears, as for what he thought, how could Jiang Yu know?

He is not a roundworm in Lao Jia's stomach.

"The most unique taste of sweet and sour carp is sweet and sour, and the sugar gourd that my wife liked to eat when she was young is also sweet and sour."

Jia Dequan's eyes were full of nostalgia, and he described the memories he had of being brought up by the sweet and sour carp dish to Jiang Yu, sighed again, and said to Jiang Yu,

"These memories are the sweetest and most nostalgic moments of my life.

I take a bite of sweet and sour carp and it will play in my mind like a slideshow, and another bite, and it will be put again......

How could I be willing to let it stop? ”

“……”

Listening to Jia Dequan's statement, Jiang Yu's face was full of shock, he really didn't expect that the dishes he made would have such an "effect"!

Is this the recipe provided by the gastronomic system, and the special utility it has?

However, the situation that Lao Jia said is completely different from what Pan Jingchen said before!

Before he could open his mouth to ask, Jia Dequan seemed to know his thoughts in advance, and said again:

"Miss Pan's situation was different before, she ate the food you cooked, as if she saw hope in a dazed and helpless situation.

That's why I say that the food you cook seems to be able to release the corresponding emotional value for different people's different situations.

Now you can understand? ”

"Uh, I almost get it."

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said,

"You mean that you miss the time when you were younger with your wife, so it amplifies that emotion in you.

As for Sister Chen, she felt surrounded by negative emotions such as sadness and despair, but in fact she wanted to escape from this predicament, so in response to Sister Chen's situation, it gave her hope.

That's what it means, right? ”

"That's right, that's what it means."

Jia Dequan turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yu, his eyes were surprised, and then he said with an approving face,

"Don't say it, you are much more apt and easy to understand than me, you really deserve to be a person who is about to go to graduate school."

"By the way, Lao Jia, have you ever seen this situation before?"

At this moment, Jiang Yu was full of doubts, he didn't care about Jia Dequan's ridicule, turned his head and asked,

"It's just that a dish is delicious, and even delicious enough to hook other people's emotions, have you ever seen such a thing?"

"I've seen it."

Jia Dequan nodded and said with a smile,

"I just ate it all, isn't this what you cooked?"

Jiang Yu: "......"

"Before you, I really didn't see anyone with a chef who could cook a dish that had such an effect."

Seeing Jiang Yu's speechless face, Jia Dequan laughed, and then said,

"I've heard of it, though."

Jiang Yu, who was still a little disappointed, was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked:

"Tell me what's going on?"

"The two of us are standing at the gate of this cafeteria and talking, isn't that too unusual?"

Jia Dequan, the little old man, was selling Guan Zi at this time, he glanced at Jiang Yu, and said with a smile,

"Besides, the story is so long, I'm thirsty when I talk about it!"

Jiang Yu: "......"

This little old man actually put up a shelf at this time......

But he was eager to know about it, and wondered who else else had a similar magical effect?

Could that person have a food system like him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu was also as concerned as Jia Dequan, turned around and walked to the box on the first floor, and said as he walked,

"Let's go, Lao Jia, I'll make you tea, let's go to the box and sit down and talk slowly!"

"Wouldn't you have said that?"

Jia Dequan smiled, turned around, and walked towards the box with his hands behind his back.

Because there was something in his heart, Jiang Yu's movements seemed to be very fast, and after a while, he made tea and brought it to the coffee table in front of Jia Dequan, and by the way, he also made himself a cup.

After the two of them sat down on the sofa, Jiang Yu said:

"Can you say it now?"

"Hehe, in fact, I've heard of this more than I, most people should know, right?"

Jia Dequan picked up the teacup and blew the tea leaves floating on it, carefully took a small sip, smacked his lips, and then said with a smile,

"For example, there is a person who can often eat the pot of the wood stove when he is a child, and many years are not long, and suddenly one day he accidentally tastes the taste of the wood stove pot again, which reminds him of the memories of his childhood, isn't it a normal thing?"

After a pause, he added,

"Just like you told me before, why does Miss Pan like to eat tomatoes and noodles?

Because the tomato noodles and fish you make are not only delicious, but also because when she was young, her grandmother would often make this pasta for her to eat.

I haven't eaten it for so many years, and I suddenly eat this pasta dish you made, if it doesn't arouse her thoughts about her grandmother, then it's really weird. ”

Being reminded by Jia Dequan, Jiang Yu also suddenly woke up, he had indeed heard of this kind of thing, and he had heard of it more than once.

The last time he watched the news, he saw a news story about a man who bought a roasted sweet potato at a roadside stall and burst into tears as he ate it.

When the reporter came forward to ask, it turned out that when this person was a child, the school was far away from home, and when he returned home after school in winter, his hands were cold and he shivered all over his body.

Whenever this happens, his mother will dig out a roasted sweet potato from the fire, the sweet potato not only warms his hands but also warms his stomach, and after eating, he feels that there is no better sweet potato in the fire pond.

Later, when he left home to work, every time he saw a roasted sweet potato seller, he would buy one to taste, but he didn't think it was as delicious as his mother's roasted sweet potato.

The reason why he was in tears just now was because he seemed to have tasted the same taste as a child.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask:

"Lao Jia, according to what you mean, in fact, any dish made by anyone may arouse the emotions of diners, not whether the dish is good or not?"

"In theory, that's true."

Jia Dequan took another sip of water, nodded and said,

"However, your food doesn't seem to be the same as someone else's, and it's very unlikely that someone else's food will stir emotions unless it's eaten by a specific diner.

Just like the wood-burning stove pot I mentioned earlier, probably only people who have eaten this dish when they were children, and who have a deep impression of the people or things related to this dish, and who have always remembered it, may be emotionally aroused.

As for the others, this wood-fired stove pot is just an ordinary peasant dish, and it will not have any effect.

But the dishes you cooked, just like the sweet and sour carp I got before, not only have an effect on Miss Pan, but also evoke my memories, which is not simple. ”

After a pause, he added,

"I don't know, it's because your dishes are so delicious, anyway, the dishes I cook don't have this effect."

"Forget it, let's ignore this, let's just say that the dishes I make have a better effect on emotions."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yu suddenly shook his head and laughed, with a look of expectation on his face, he said,

"I think let's find a few more anorexics to try and see if they can't resist my cooking?

This thing is the most meaningful. ”
