I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 23 Teochew Banquet (3)

"Come on, two bowls of kueh, try it!" The boss came over with two big white bowls, interrupting Yu Jian's thoughts.

She looked at this man. He was of medium build, a little thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked a bit like Father Yu.It's just that he has a thin body, but his muscular arms are exposed under the sleeves.

Looking at her lovingly at this moment, she thanked her and showed a sweet smile.Now, the man looked at her with even more satisfaction.

Father Yu took a sip of the soup, and it tasted like this!He comfortably scooped the Kueh Kueh into his mouth and said vaguely, "Ah Jian, this is your Uncle Jianping."

Yu Jianping, Yu Jianguo's younger brother, his parents died young, and it was Grandpa Yu who took him in and taught him cooking skills.

Yu Jian called someone again, and cast a puzzled look at Father Yu.Why have I never heard that I have an uncle.

"Your grandfather's closed disciple came to the capital very early to make a living in the capital. He did well and opened a small shop by himself." Father Yu finished eating in one go, took another sip of soup, and wiped his mouth casually.

This made Yu Jianping so angry, he gathered the dishcloth in his hand into strips, and waved it at Father Yu's body lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about! I can't compare to you, who works as a cook in a big restaurant."

The two bickered back and forth, and Yu Jian was dumbfounded.

Could it be... this is the legendary business bragging? ?
Yu Jian sipped the soup in the bowl and ate a mouthful of Kueh Kuai.

I can't help but turn my attention to this seemingly ordinary breakfast.The soup is milky white, and you can taste the rich flavor after just a little taste. It should be the broth that has been boiled for a long time.Kuai Kuai is chewy and has a bit of springiness in the mouth.

Yu Jian took a closer look and gasped.It turned out to be steamed layer by layer, and there are tiny holes on the surface, no wonder the soup can seep in.

Seeing her eating carefully, Yu Jianping couldn't help being a little proud: "My Kueh Noodles are the only one in the entire capital."

Looking at the stalls that are now crowded with water, there are indeed some tricks.

Father Yu hurriedly rushed people to go to work, and he tidied up and stood up to give up his seat. Seeing that he was really busy, he went to help.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the breakfast shop closed on time.Yu Jianping's small shop opens at five o'clock and closes on time at nine o'clock, and it doesn't matter if it stays open for a minute.

Yu Jian laughed inwardly seeing the old customers who came late stamping their feet in frustration at the door of the store, but did not dare to go up to argue with the boss.

This made the diners terrified of the boss, but she saw such a family.I couldn't help being amazed in my heart, where did such a great charm come from such a small naked body.

"What? Are you going to make a Chaozhou banquet?" Yu Jianping dug his ears, thinking he had heard it wrong.

He lived not far away, in the furthest house in the alley. After closing time, he led his father and daughter home, and entertained Yu Jianguo with tea that he had kept for a long time.

Seeing his gaze, Yu Jianguo was a little unconvinced, and asked with a stiff neck, "Why can't I?"

Yu Jianping sneered, "It's not that I'm laughing at you, Jianguo. If you're talking about this knife skill, you really are like this." He gave a thumbs up, "But if you say seasoning the stir-fry, there's always something missing. It's not that it's not delicious. , but not to the extent of opening a banquet.”

Every word makes sense, but Yu's father feels that every word is cruel.

It's not that he didn't know how much he weighed, so he pulled Yu Jian to him: "I don't have a daughter here! My daughter is very skilled!"

Yu Jianping looked the two father and daughter up and down, pointed at Father Yu and said with a smile: "You bastard, how can you drag your daughter out? This girl is still in school, right?!"

Yu Jian nodded calmly: "Uncle, don't you believe it? But there is no rule that a little girl who studies can't cook."

Blocked by her words, Yu Jianping was stunned for half a second, then narrowed his eyes slightly, took a breath, and asked Father Yu with a cold face: "Yu Jianguo, are you crazy? The little baby won't let her study hard. This kind of rough work?"

In his early years, his family was poor, and he couldn't even afford the funeral expenses of his parents, let alone study.The grandfather of the Yu family was kind enough to teach him the craft, and he went out to make a living without knowing the heights of the sky and the earth.

But it was only when I came out that I realized that people who were uneducated and knowledgeable were despised wherever they went.

"I don't think cooking is a rough job." Yu Jian gave her father a comforting look, then turned to look at Yu Jianping, her face was full of piety and confidence, "Food is the most important thing for people, if there is no cook, how can I cook?" Let the public taste the delicacies of the world? Besides... my grades are good!"

"That's right, that's right!" After being reminded by Yu Jian, Yu's father also came back to his senses, and told Yu Jianping proudly, "Ah Jian got the second place in the whole grade this time! I can go to Capital University!"

Really?

Yu Jianping looked at Yu Jian in disbelief, and Yu Jian nodded solemnly.

"Then what do you mean?" Yu Jianping poured out the water in the tea bowl and refilled it with fresh water.

Father Yu asked in a doggy manner: "Just the old dish we learned before, can you..."

"Teaching you is not enough. If you can learn it, you will be able to learn it. Teach your daughter...you should let me see her skills first." After taking a sip of tea, she began to ask Yu Jian, "How much is the kueh we ate today?" what do you think?"

It turned out to be waiting for her here!

It was no trouble to her.Yu Jian recalled the taste of the breakfast, and replied, "Uncle's cake is very interesting."

"Oh? What an interesting idea?" Yu Jianping became interested when she heard her describe it like this.

"This cake seems to be a whole, but it is actually layered. Uncle, you should use such a large stainless steel container," Yu Jian gestured for the size, "Brush a thin layer of oil on the bottom, pour a layer of rice milk, and put it on the pot Steam, wait until the first layer is cooked, and then pour the second layer. Repeat this for seven layers, and you will eat the kueh in your mouth. So although it is thick, if you taste it carefully, you will find that the soup can penetrate into it quickly. This Compared with the kueh sold by other stores, it can be said to be too clever! So uncle, your business is doing well!"

Finally, don't forget to say a word.After all, everyone loves to hear beautiful words!

Father Yu was silent...

Yu Jianping was also silent... He even paused halfway while pouring tea.

After a long time, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. He laughed twice, drank the tea in the tea bowl in one gulp, and exhaled two foul breaths: "Good! Good! Good!"

"Jianguo! You gave birth to a good daughter! Our old Yu's family is about to wake up!"

Yu Jianping's skills are far more than that. Grandpa Yu's evaluation of him back then was: If this kid is more patient, he will definitely be the chef of this state-run restaurant.But this kid always said that there is no way out in the small county, and he ignored everyone's persuasion, and left with all his money.

Leaving the half-baked father Yu behind, Grandpa Yu's heart and lungs are in pain every day.

Yu Jianping has a dish, which is the main purpose of Yu's father's coming back-reversing lotus paste.

This ancient dish has a long history. It is said that it was popular in Chaozhou [-] years ago. However, with the changes of the times, more and more young people choose Western-style food, and some dishes have gradually become lost dishes.

"Girl, do you want to learn?" Yu Jianping stared into her eyes and asked.

"I think!"
