Chapter 43: Finding Mapo
The drunken Taoist calculated the fierce ghost Taoist, the two fought for about three or four hours, and the vitality fluctuated endlessly within dozens of miles, and then a black light escaped from the sword array, and then a green light chased up, and the two of them fled and chased for thousands of miles; ”
When I returned to the inn where I lived, I saw that Zhang Fu was having lunch, and he was not polite, he took care of himself and put a bowl of rice, and chewed it heavily, Zhang Fu saw this and said disdainfully: "You also eat these coarse tea and light rice, don't say that you have learned the craft in Shizuka Building when you go out in the future!"
Zhou Qian ate five bowls of rice in a row, and then touched his mouth and said: "The food is to fill the stomach, whether it is delicious or not, it is much better than not having to eat!"
"Then what do you learn to cook? Anyway, whatever you eat is the same!" Zhang Fu retorted.
"Nature is for enjoyment, if there is no wine and food in life, then it is not fun!"
"Hmph! You're right!" Zhang Fu rarely didn't argue with Zhou Qian, but frowned: "Where did you go?" Did you find out the traces of Mapo's predecessors?"
Zhou Qian shook his head, and Zhang Fu said again: "I went to the neighborhood just now to inquire, and now the name of mapo is widely spread, but the dragon has never seen the tail, unless it is a delicacy that spreads, it is difficult to see its traces." ”
"So what?" Zhou Qian asked.
"I think that mapo is the pioneer of Shu cuisine, so if someone challenges all the Shu cuisine restaurants one by one, and they all win the battle, and say that they want Shu cuisine to be unsuccessful, then do you think this mapo will come forward?" Zhang Fu's eyes flashed with excitement and madness.
"You mean to challenge the entire Sichuan Restaurant?" Zhou Qian was taken aback, this idea was too unbelievable.
"Why? Don't you dare?" Zhang Fu said proudly, no matter how many shortcomings Zhang Fu had in his character, the name of this little chef god was real, and it was recognized by the entire culinary world.
"This method~" Zhou Qian thought about it carefully, although this method is whimsical, but it is not without operability, as for challenging the entire Shu cuisine, Zhou Qian's heart is also a rare blood boiling.
"What about the challenge! Back then, Master Hei and Master Yi Shan fought all over the Central Plains, are the two of us still inferior to our predecessors?" The two looked at each other and smiled, and the original estrangement also smiled.
"Surrounded by mountains and rivers in Shu, this Shu is the most suitable for the production of melons, fruits, fresh vegetables, mountain delicacies, and wild game, and this Shu cuisine is the two major factions of the Shanghe Gang and the Xiaohe Gang, if the two of us want to challenge, we have to fight against these two factions...... "Zhang Fu said slowly.
On the second day, the two came to a well-known restaurant in Tiandu Mansion 'Renheju', and suddenly a small guy was introduced, and when the little guy nodded and asked the two of them what dish they wanted to eat, Zhang Fu began to kick the first step of the restaurant!
"What do you have here?"
"Our Renhe Ju is one of the most famous seventeen restaurants in Tiandu Mansion, and there is naturally everything you want to eat!"
"I'm going to ask for a boiling water cabbage, salt-roasted white, Sichuan-style tamale, Qingcheng Mountain ginkgo stewed chicken, garlic white meat, hibiscus chicken slices, pot pork slices, white oil tofu, roasted white, catfish loach, salt-fried meat, dry stir-fried eel slices, eel noodles, sour and hot duck snow, steamed river balls, stilted beef, Xiba tofu, snow konjac, konjac roasted duck, Jianyang mutton soup, dry roasted rock carp, dry roasted osmanthus fish, Ya'an Ya fish full feast, and then a pickled pepper cuttlefish, Shiqu white mushroom stewed chicken, Long Zhaoshou, Zhong Shui dumplings, Wu Zhaoshou, Lao Ma Zhaoshou, Jiang pork ribs, Han buns, Wenfu bean soup rice, old mother's hoof flower, Qingcheng Mountain old bacon. Zhang Fu finished reporting in one breath before he said: "If there is a dish that cannot be done properly, and there is no authentic Shu cuisine, the master will definitely sue your restaurant to the government and treat you for the crime of deceiving guests!"
The little guy wiped his sweat and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Zhang Fu said loudly again, and immediately attracted a group of diners.
"Is this kid here to kick the restaurant? Why is he so arrogant, can the chef make all these Shu cuisine essences? and make them authentic Shu cuisine?"
"Could it be that the rest of the restaurants sent them to make trouble?
"We haven't eaten all these dishes yet, how can this kid report so much in one go?"
While everyone was talking, a fat chef led a few menacing helpers to rush in front of the two, and the fat chef shouted: "That's what you two are here to make trouble? If you two don't leave an explanation, be careful that I kidnap you and send you to the official!"
Zhou Qian interjected at this time: "How can it be regarded as the two of us making trouble, you can do whatever the dishes are, let's order seventy or eighty dishes, if we don't have the money to pay, you naturally have a reason to send the two of us to the official, but if you complain about the guests because you can't cook these dishes, then you don't eat in this restaurant!" After speaking, he and Zhang Fuyi turned around and left.
But how could the fat chef let these two leave, not to mention anything else, people want to face trees and bark, but when this matter spread, the reputation of his restaurant was ruined......
"Two of you and slow!" "The big cook said in a rough voice: "Just now my little guy boasted, but it made the two laugh, don't hide it from the two, my family will only make ......" said and reported more than a dozen famous dishes of Shu, "If the two want to eat, send someone to do it next, how about it?"
Zhou Qian shook his head and sighed deliberately: "It's not that I want to be embarrassed, it's just that your restaurant didn't believe what you said just now, and what you did didn't match what you said, but it made the two of you doubt whether you can make this Shu delicacy?"
"If this is not the case!" Zhang Fu said: "My two brothers happen to know a little cooking, if we compare, if you win, I have a thousand taels of silver, both with you;
"A thousand taels of silver?" The fat chef's eyes were about to pop out, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Can you two be said to be true?"
"Seriously!" both nodded at the same time.
"What's the comparison?"
"Let's cook a dish at the same time, and let the officials present taste it after cooking, and decide the victory or defeat of your side with the votes of the officials present, how about it?"
"What's better than that dish?" Obviously worried that Zhou Qian and the others ordered a Shu dish that they didn't know at home.
"It's better than this boiling cabbage, didn't you say just now that you were good at this dish? And this is also one of the famous dishes in Shu. ”
"Okay! It's better than this dish!" the fat chef was overjoyed, and said secretly, "These two really don't know whether they live or die, not to mention the taste of the food, I've been here for 20 years, don't I even know the taste of the nearby diners!"
Coming to the dining hall, Zhang Fu quietly said to Zhou Gan: "This boiling cabbage is a clear soup dish, the focus of this dish is to hang the soup, I guess this Renheju is also a little famous, there must be a unique hanging soup recipe, I am not afraid of him on the hanging soup technique, as for the selection of this cabbage cabbage heart, I will leave it to you." ”
Zhou Qian also knows that nine percent of the kung fu of boiling water cabbage lies in hanging soup, and the kung fu of choosing cabbage is also rough work, but who has no choice but to let the family have a good master, the title of this little chef god is not for nothing, his own old black master in addition to teaching himself basic skills is to teach himself basic skills, knife work, seasoning, stir-frying, soup, watching dishes, burning skills, when can his own family be like Zhang Fu and coaxing: 'You add firewood to me, and the cooking skills will be handed over to me'......
Zhou Qian caught a glimpse of Zhang Fuzheng putting the precious ingredients such as hens, ducks, ham, scallops, and elbows into the pot to cook soup, and he knew that there was still a little time to do, so he picked it up in the cabbage pile.
'The cabbage is tender and yellow, and the cabbage will be ripe or unripe for the best,' Zhou Qian muttered, picking and choosing three tender, crisp and lovely Chinese cabbage and hugging him, staring at Zhang Fu's soup without blinking.
Zhang Fu was stared at uncomfortable, so he said: "Help me wash the cabbage cramps, take out the cabbage heart, do not hurt its tender yellow heart, and then use boiling water to break off, cold water to cool it, can you do it?"
Zhou Qian happily responded and hurriedly started to do it, as long as he was cooking, no matter what kind of work it was, it was something to be happy about.
"Are you so happy to make this dish?" Zhang Fu shook his head and muttered, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, this kind of mood has not been experienced by his family for a long time.
Zhou Qian only took a short time to finish it, and when he looked back at Zhang Fu's hanging soup that was still concentrating, he had an idea.
Zhang Fu used a spoon to stir the chicken putty in the direction of the spoon, sucking out all the impurities and oil, at this moment the soup was already clear, elegant and fragrant, Zhang Fu used another pot of soup stock that had been prepared to prepare the vegetables, beckoned, but Zhou Qian did not respond.
"Why can't you do such a little thing!" Zhang Fu said dissatisfiedly, the heat of this soup should be well controlled, if you increase one point, you will more, and if you subtract one point, you will be less, this week is not a mistake!
"The cabbage is here!" Zhou Qian hurriedly sent the cabbage heart over, Zhang Fu looked at it, but was stunned.
The surface of this cabbage is actually engraved with a map of mountains and rivers, as for this content, it is the great rivers and mountains in Shu, Emei, Qingcheng, Tongtian in the four rivers of Minhe, Fuyun Mountain, Tiandu Mansion, Chengdu Mansion......
Flowing and majestic, Zhang Fu could only flash these two words in his heart, "You knife work, your painting skills ......"
Zhou Qian was frightened and said, "Isn't it okay?
The corners of Zhang Fu's mouth twitched, and he said insincerely: "It can be, but it's too fancy!"
Zhang Fuyou estimated that the soup was enough, so he took the cabbage, pretended not to care while watering it, and asked, "How did you carve the map of mountains and rivers in Shu......
"Oh, I have this picture at home," Zhou Qian sat on the ground, observing Zhang Fu's hand and said nonchalantly. This geographical map of the dynasty was accidentally seen by the master and Steward Sun when he calculated the location of the tomb of the Qin Emperor, as for this carving technique, if it were not for Zhou Qian's battle with the ghost child, he might not have been able to carve it out when he accidentally understood the subtle realm of swordsmanship.
"And what about your knife worker?"
"I learned from Master Hei!" Of course, Zhou Qian couldn't tell the truth.
When Zhang Fu heard this, he immediately had the idea of rushing back to worship Heihan Timur as a teacher......
