The ketchup in the pot was already bubbling and bubbling, and the rich sweet and sour smell filled the air.

Ye Hao stirred the soup and sprinkled condiments such as sea salt, black pepper, and basil stems.

Shi Liang swallowed.

An Junxian looked at Ye Hao's serious side face for a moment.

When the person is fully immersed in cooking, she seems to glow.

After a while, Ye Hao scooped a spoonful of soup and handed it out.

An Junxian thought it was for himself, so he reached out to take it, but heard Ye Hao say, "Chef Shi, you taste it."

An Junxian, who froze: "......" When will Zhen Zhen have me in her eyes.

An Junxian glanced at Shi Liang, his thin lips raised, and then he stepped in again and snatched the soup spoon and fed it to his mouth.

Ye Hao subconsciously hurriedly reminded: "Blow it, be careful of it!" ”

An Junxian smiled and squinted, and obediently blew the hot white smoke.

Shi Liang's outstretched hand was fixed by that glance, and he silently took it back, the vice president of the Culinary Association is amazing!

An Junxian blew on the soup, took a small sip, and then let out a satisfied sigh.

Ye Hao took two other small bowls and handed them to Xu Long and Shi Liang.

Shi Liang took a few sips, while Xu Long sniffed it before tasting it.

Xu Long clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha, I know where you learned this ketchup!"

"Can I take the pot away? I want to take it home and drink it alone. An Junxian picked up the soup pot and pretended to leave.

Ye Hao was amused by An Junxian's dramatic behavior and wanted to laugh, but her fair cheeks forcibly endured the smile, but her eyes were still slightly curved.

An Junxian looked at her beautiful face like a flower and smiled happily.

Xu Long: "." Isn't it an eyesore for me to stand here? So I'll go?

Ye Hao was no longer distracted by An Junxian, looked at Shi Liang, and her tone instantly became serious, "Can you taste the difference between my soup and yours?" ”

After Shi Liang tasted Ye Hao's soup carefully, his eyes lit up.

Then he tasted his soup again, and his cheeks soon turned red.

"Did you taste it?" Ye Hao asked.

"Tasted it."

"Do you know what's the problem?"

"I don't know."

Xu Long shook his head in shame and asked eagerly, "Chef Ye, the seasoning you added is the same as mine, but it's so strange that your soup is richer than mine, and the sweet and sour taste has soaked into every taste bud, and it is so thick that it turns into gum. ”

"It's really delicious! It's a great match with the steak!"

Xu Long looked at Ye Hao longingly, "Ye Chef God, you can teach me!" ”

That's what he really wanted to get when he entered the cooking competition!

"The secret is in the choice of ingredients." Ye Hao said without hesitation.

An Junxian: "Use those tomatoes that are ripe to the point of rotting, don't pick round, big and beautiful."

Xu Long nodded: "Yes, the kind of tomato that others use to press the bottom of the box, the one that breaks the skin with a light touch is the best."

Ye Hao: "...... The tomatoes are ripe enough to give off a sake, which is a natural freshness enhancer. The ripe flesh of the fruit can be turned into gum without much boiling. ”

An Junxian: "I will also know this formula, I learned it from the slums of India. People there can only buy such ingredients. ”

Xu Long: "As long as it is a fresh ingredient, there is actually no good or bad in terms of texture and taste. Good and bad, it's about the technique of cooking. ”

Ye Hao: "...... In the eyes of ordinary people, this ingredient has gone bad, but in the slums, it has been boiled into a delicacy with such a wonderful flavor. Why do you say that? ”

Shi Liang and the other three chefs had already taken out their notebooks and recorded them quickly.

"Why?" He asked earnestly.

He had already obtained the secret recipe, but he wanted to know more about how such a recipe was created.

"In the slums, people have very little to offer, and yet even then they want to eat well. Hence the recipe. They are sincere about the food. Ye Hao said slowly.

"When it comes to how to make sauce, Indians are absolutely sincere, clean and hygienic." An Junxian joked with a smile.

"Sincerity in life is also indispensable. The reason why cooking has become an art is because of this attitude to life. Xu Long added.

Ye Hao said seriously: "They are full of sincerity to themselves, to life, and to the future. This attitude of never being perfunctory, no matter how bad it is, has created many delicacies. ”

Xu Long said with a smile: "Maybe you should take a look at Su Dongpo's biography." He is a person who is not perfunctory to life. ”

Shi Liang couldn't help but smile when he thought of Su Dongpo's deeds of distributing all the way and creating Dongpo meat, Dongpo tofu, Dongpo eggplant, Dongpo soup, and Dongpo bats all the way.

From a simple tomato sauce, he seemed to have learned something amazing.

Ye Hao tapped the stew pot with a spoon and said seriously, "If you want to make a good tomato sauce, you should keep boiling different tomatoes and try it slowly." In this way, you can develop a secret recipe yourself without asking anyone. ”

"I've read your information, you have been in a foreign Chinese restaurant for many years, and you have become accustomed to using the most beautiful ingredients in order to make the dishes look good, but you have neglected the harmony of flavors."

"You are the opposite of Gao Zheng's constant attempts to innovate. Don't always stay in your comfort zone in the future, that won't help you. ”

"The creativity you want is in the ingredients, but also in life, you have to go out and walk more, take a look, and taste the food of different places."

Ye Hao didn't think about the words, and she didn't care what Shi Liang's attitude was. She only says what she wants to say.

Shi Liang hurriedly put away his smile and nodded quite instructively.

If he hadn't met Ye Hao, he might never have realized that he had gone astray.

He made a lot of money by making a name for himself abroad, but he felt more and more empty.

In the past few years in Chinese restaurants abroad, Shi Liang has attracted a large number of fans with his excellent cooking skills and humorous personality.

He has always had a sense of accomplishment in this regard.

After listening to Ye Hao's words, he slowly realized that what had indulged him deeply was only a false prosperity.

He gained wealth and fame, but gradually lost what he once loved and cherished.

"Ye Chef God, I know. I will slowly reduce the amount of time I spend in my comfort zone and find opportunities to go out and see more. ”

Shi Liang looked at Ye Hao expectantly: "Chef Ye, if you have the opportunity, I want to invite you to go with me at that time, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

An Junxian frowned.

Is this old man too familiar? How long has he known Ye Hao? actually invited Ye Hao to travel with one mouth, this cheeky is too thick-skinned, right? Does he understand basic social distancing?

Ye Hao won't agree, he is so good-looking, Ye Hao refuses, and he won't get too close to this old and ugly old man!
