Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 200
Qingfeng hurriedly comforted: "You are not old enough at this age, shopkeeper Zhao praised you for being young a few days ago."

When Zhuge Kongfang heard the words, he couldn't help but glanced at Qingfeng. Qingfeng looked at his current appearance, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands and stopped talking.

Zhang Chen secretly laughed at the side, this master-student duo is really interesting, compared to Zhao Ben and the three master-students who are no different from each other before.

Zhuge Kongfang sighed, and said to Zhang Chen again: "Little friend, you should know my reason for coming by now!"

Zhang Chen looked at Li Dazui, who was busy in the kitchen, and said, "Then I really have to thank you. I can't guarantee anything else. Brother Dazui's cooking skills can be regarded as one of the best in this capital."

Zhuge Kongfang nodded slightly, looked in the direction of the kitchen and said proudly: "What you want is this confidence in cooking skills. I think back then, why did the first emperor decide my position with a single word? The confidence in front of me.

And I value Li Dazui, everyone is because of this confidence, I have met many chefs over the years, but Li Dazui's confidence in his cooking skills is simply too similar to me back then."

Zhang Chen immediately understood the reason, and then echoed Zhuge Kongfang. It is not a bad thing for Brother Big Mouth to worship under him, and after this exchange, he can clearly see the character of the old man.

Sure enough, Zhuge Kongfang continued to talk about the past: "There are so many imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, why did the first emperor choose me? The first emperor said that he felt the taste of nature in this dish, which is not available in other imperial chef dishes. The place"

Zhuge Kongfang sighed again: "Hey, you have followed my teacher for so many years, and you have eaten a lot of his dishes, why can't you feel the natural taste?"

Qingfeng blushed slightly. Of course he had eaten a lot of dishes made by the master, but he didn't dare to tell the master the truth about his loss of taste. He was afraid that the master would collapse when he learned the truth.

No chef can accept the result of his own taste failure, let alone him who has been an imperial chef for most of his life.

This was too cruel for the master, and he really couldn't bear to tell the truth to the master.

Zhang Chen has black lines all over his head. Isn't it wrong that this is a martial arts style?Why does it sound a bit fantasy to me, it's just cooking, how can he talk about the taste of nature, what is this taste of nature?
Zhuge Kongfang talked eloquently, without any intention of stopping, stood up when he was talking, and walked in the lobby.

Taking this opportunity, Qingfeng leaned into Zhang Chen's ear and quickly explained: "Brother, my master has such a temper. He can't stop when he gets excited, please forgive me!"

Zhang Chen didn't care, but continued to ask for advice, "It's okay, as long as the old man is happy! It's just brother, what does the old man mean by the taste of nature?"

Qingfeng took a look at Zhuge Kongfang, and then explained in a low voice: "Natural flavor, that's the term for bright yellow, but it actually means to keep the original taste of the ingredients.

It's just that it is very difficult for ordinary chefs to do this, and my master is also relying on this to win the favor of the late emperor. "

Only then did Zhang Chen understand, and he said, in this world of martial arts, how can there be such a natural saying? Co-authorship is just a matter of terminology in the court, and it may be a more popular term among the people. .

After a cup of tea, Li Dazui and the others finally came out of the kitchen, and Dazui walked slowly with a plate of dishes covered with porcelain lids in his hands.

Gently put it down on the long table, Li Dazui said to Zhuge Kongfang: "Please have a taste of my crab meat lion head!"

After finishing speaking, Li Dazui lifted the porcelain cover on the dish, and after a burst of heat, the delicate four lion heads on the plate were placed in the bowl.

Qingfeng said in surprise: "Auspicious Ruyi reunion ball?"

Everyone looked at Qingfeng, Qingfeng quickly explained: "It's another name for this lion's head! The rules in the palace!"

Everyone let out a long "ah".

Zhuge Kongfang ignored the crowd, but nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the dishes on the table.

Taste it!We all know that from three aspects, color, aroma and taste, these three factors affect the quality of dishes.

Zhuge Kongfang stared at the dish in front of him, observed it for a while, and then said: "This dish, in terms of color, has already achieved a good level, and the appearance alone can make people's eyes shine."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head slightly, and slapped himself with the aroma of the dishes. Zhuge Kongfang felt it for a while, and then said: "As for the aroma, the aroma of crab and meat is not bad. It can be seen that this dish Food takes a lot of thought”

Finally, Zhuge Kongfang picked up the small spoon next to the bowl, scooped out a spoonful of the lion's head, and put it in his mouth to taste slowly.

Everyone stared at him closely, and Qingfeng also looked at his master worriedly.

After Zhuge Kongfang tasted it for a long time, he sighed and said: "This lion's head is soft, fat but not greasy, and melts in the mouth, especially the delicious taste of crab roe and the taste of minced pork itself. The two are perfectly integrated."

Zhuge Kongfang put down the spoon and said with a smile: "This auspicious wishful reunion ball is top-grade even if it is placed on the imperial banquet.

Your name is Dazui?To be able to have such culinary skills at your age is really a genius!

It's just that the taste of this dish seems to be a bit weaker, adding some rock salt, it will taste better."

Zhuge Kongfang was not without emotion. After tasting this dish, he felt more and more that Dazui is his successor.

Li Dazui was amused at first when he was praised, but when he heard the question raised by the master chef behind him, Dazui said, "No, I have already tasted this dish after it was out of the pot. It's a dish"

When everyone heard the words, they picked up their spoons, dug a large piece from the lion's head, and chewed it carefully in their mouths.

After a while, everyone put down their spoons and said in unison: "It tastes great!"

Hearing this, Qingfeng quickly wiped the sweat from his sticky head with his sleeves. When his master asked the last question, he knew that something would definitely go wrong.

Qingfeng quickly interjected: "Master, let's go to the upstairs room first, we also understand Li Dazui's craftsmanship, don't we..."

Zhuge Kongfang nodded slightly.

Qingfeng said to Tong Xiangyu: "The shopkeeper quickly open a room for us, we will stay here for a few days."

After finishing speaking, he helped Zhuge Kongfang up the stairs, without leaving a chance for everyone to ask.

Several people in the hall looked at each other, what's going on?But there is obviously a problem with this, otherwise his apprentice would not have left in such a hurry.

Everyone looked at Zhang Chen. They were all working in the back kitchen just now, and only Zhang Chen was in the main hall with Master Zhuge.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "It's a good thing!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chen patted Li Dazui on the shoulder and said, "Brother Dazui, your fortune has come! They have taken a fancy to you and want to take you as an apprentice!"

Li Dazui was stunned on the spot when he heard the words, this was a happy event that he never thought of.

　Thanks for the support!
