Chapter 1252
Seeing that Mr. Li still had this attitude of not wanting to talk things over, Mr. Wan was really a little angry and immediately stood up from his chair angrily.

"Old man Li, if you don't want to cooperate, forget it, just be more relaxed and I won't waste your time, let's just say goodbye!"

After speaking, Mr. Li took advantage of the opportunity to leave. Mr. Li immediately gave Chu Yunfeng a wink, so Chu Yunfeng immediately began to act as a peacemaker and stopped Wan Lao.

"Wan Lao, if we have something to discuss, let's sit down and taste the tea I made. Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!"

Naturally, Wan Lao would not leave like this. After all, the purpose of coming here has not been realized yet. If he missed this time, he would probably have no chance in the future.

They are all men who have matured with age. Old Man Li is so stable, so he naturally understands that he must have confidence in his heart, so this cooperation will definitely be successful.

But the key is how much you pay!
"Look at Master You, does he look like he wants to talk things over? I've never seen anyone with a weirder temper than him!"

It seemed that he was really upset. Wan Lao took the tea poured by Chu Yunfeng and complained angrily.

But people like Mr. Li didn't accept this trick at all. Instead, he smiled and said: "Why don't I look like me anymore? The older you get, the less able you are to make jokes. It's really boring!"

"What? I can't take a joke? I'm not interested? Do you think you can take a joke? I miss you back then."

Regarding Mr. Li's rebuttal, Mr. Wan seemed to have been stimulated by something again. The two were about to fight again, and Chu Yunfeng hurriedly intervened.

"Drink tea, drink tea. Since we are talking about things, don't be angry. It's okay to talk if you have anything to say!"

If they don't stop it, maybe the two of them will start fighting again. If they really get angry, it's not certain that the matter will become dirty.

Chu Yunfeng hasn't even figured it out yet. What is this Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han Banquet? What are the dishes?
"Humph~!"

"Hehe~!"

Wan Lao and Li Lao also knew that there would be no results if they continued to "entangle" like this. They grunted at each other, picked up the tea cups and started drinking.

But obviously Mr. Li needs to be more steady, but the heat is about the same. After finishing the cup of tea in his hand, Mr. Li calmly asked: "Old man Wan, what do you think of these dishes tonight?" Sample?"

coming?

Are you ready to start talking?
Wan Lao, who was overjoyed, immediately put the tea cup in his hand back on the table. After considering it carefully, he slowly said: "The dishes are very good. In my impression, there are two dishes that I heard are... Passed.

But are these dishes related to the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han Banquet?Or are these originally some of the dishes? "

You must inquire about this situation. If these dishes cannot be included in the list of Manchu-Han banquet, then this Chengdu version of Manchu-Hanban banquet will refresh your understanding.

After all, even such exquisite dishes cannot meet the selection criteria, so one can imagine how amazing the real Chengdu version must be.
"Among tonight's dishes, there is only one dish that is the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet dish. Can you guess which one it is?"

Although Mr. Li said this sentence to Mr. Wan with a smile, Chu Yunfeng was not much less surprised than Mr. Wan. The dishes he cooked today actually included the dishes of the whole banquet?

If I go, how could I not know?
Is it possible that Mr. Li has taught himself some dishes for the Manchu-Han banquet without knowing it?

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Chu Yunfeng started asking while Wan Lao was still deep in thought: "Mr. Li, this dish."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately saw Mr. Li giving him a stern look, and Chu Yunfeng immediately understood that he was a little negligent!

If he really asks his own question, won't it make Wan Lao understand that even he himself is ignorant of the dishes of the Manchu Banquet, maybe Li Lao is just fooling or perfunctory himself.

It's very likely that he himself doesn't know a few dishes for the Manchu-Han Banquet. Otherwise, how could Chu Yunfeng know how to cook these dishes without knowing it?
After Wan Lao raised his head, his eyes suddenly flickered, revealing a suspicious look, but he didn't seem to think much, and was still thinking carefully about Lao Li's question just now.

After thinking about it, Wan Lao tapped his fingers on the table twice and said, "Humph, you still want to test me. It's not hard to guess. I think it must be the barbecued pork suckling pig dish, right?"

Barbeque pork suckling pig?

Chu Yunfeng's eyes shrank and he looked at Mr. Li calmly, wondering why it was this dish?

This dish is obviously a dish with Yangcheng characteristics, but why is it a dish included in the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet?

Before Chu Yunfeng could be confused for too long, Mr. Li immediately nodded and said: "That's right, this is the dish. It seems you know the Man-Han Banquet quite well!"

Although Mr. Li was complimenting himself, Mr. Wan didn't seem to appreciate it at all, humming softly: "Humph~! The essence of the Manchu-Han banquet is the four main dishes.

Bird's nest, shark's fin, roasted pig, and roasted duck are absolutely indispensable. Without these four dishes, it wouldn't be called a Manchu-Han banquet. Do you think I don't even know this?

And in the Beijing version, this dish is not called barbecued pork suckling pig, but called barbecued pork suckling pig. Am I right? "

Chu Yunfeng listened carefully to the conversation between the two masters, not missing any detail. Although the name of the barbecued pork dish was different, there were still many different ways of making it.

Sure enough, Mr. Li immediately shook his head and said: "You are both right and wrong. The name is correct, but the process of making it is still very different.

Didn't you notice the difference in taste and texture when you ate it tonight? "

hiss~!

After Wan Laoyi heard this, he immediately slapped his forehead. How could he forget this? He just forgot to mention it, but he was teased by Old Man Li.

Since Sichuan cuisine is eclectic, it must have its own unique techniques, which is one of the main reasons why I want to cooperate.

However, Old Man Li was acting nonsense, so Wan Lao immediately used his trump card: "Is this interesting?

As far as I know, the scale and variety of the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet are far inferior to the Beijing version. As the saying goes, "the seafood is incomplete and the eight delicacies are not prepared."

The Beijing version has eight types of seafood and is known as the eight delicacies of the sea, but the Chengcheng version seems to only have seven flavors, right?

Also, it seems that the Manchurian barbecue is not complete. Finally, two flavors of local barbecue are added to make up the number. You don’t even know these, right? "

As soon as Wan Lao said these words, it was obvious that Mr. Li's expression changed instantly and became particularly ugly. This made Chu Yunfeng murmur in his heart, could it be that what Wan Lao said was true?

Is the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet so flawed?Or is it simply not up to the standard of a Manchu-Han banquet?

However, Mr. Li was angry again, but it was only for a moment. He quickly regained his composure and immediately joked: "Hey, Mr. Wan, it sounds like you can make everything in the Beijing version?
This Beijing version focuses on four major dishes, plus four or eight delicacies. Is it possible that you can now find the ingredients for these four or eight delicacies and serve them in a dignified manner?

It’s not that I’m boasting about Haikou. On the Rongcheng version of the Manchu Banquet menu, there is not a single dish whose ingredients are guaranteed. Even if there are one or two dishes, the farmed ones are completely usable.

This will not affect the integrity of the dishes at all, but on the contrary, you can find some of these mountain delicacies and poultry delicacies for me to try? "

Mr. Li's words go straight to the core. Even Wan Lao can make the Shan Bazhen and Qin Bazhen dishes in the Beijing version of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet, but due to the limitations of the ingredients, it is impossible to achieve it.

The Eight Treasures of the Mountain include camel hump, bear paw, monkey brain, orangutan lip, elephant dial, leopard fetus, rhinoceros tail and lion breast.

The eight rare birds include red swallows, flying dragons, quails, swans, partridges, painted sparrows, turtle doves and red-headed eagles.

Take a look at these lists and give it a try if you don't want to go to jail?

However, Wan Lao seemed to be teasing and didn't care about Mr. Li's rebuttal. Instead, he asked excitedly: "Seriously?"

"Hmph~! What is true? Is it possible that I can still lie?"

Mr. Li glanced at Wan Laobai with disdain, picked up the tea cup on the table and began to drink leisurely. The bait had been thrown out, and it was up to him whether the fish would bite the hook.

Even Chu Yunfeng understood that Mr. Li's words would definitely not be without purpose, but the most important thing is, can Mr. Li cook these dishes himself?
The real thought in my heart is that he can't, or not all of them can, but the feeling behind the words just now gives people the illusion that he has it at his fingertips.

"Okay, okay, that's good, then let's talk about this cooperation. Now that we've talked about it to this point, let's stop hiding it. What do you think of cooperation?"

Wan Lao seemed a little excited. After rubbing his hands, he proposed excitedly.

However, Mr. Li didn't seem to be excited at all. Instead, he immediately asked with a smile, "Tell me what kind of dishes you have here. How many dishes do you cook in total?"

The calm Mr. Li didn't look at Wan Lao at all when he spoke, as if he didn't care. Chu Yunfeng suddenly understood in his heart that he was setting a trap for Wan Lao.

Originally it was Wan Lao who was trying to trick Lao Li, but within a few rounds, Wan Lao was at a disadvantage and his trump card was about to be exposed.

I saw Wan Lao blinking his eyes and saying with a look of reminiscence on his face: "Of course there are not too many dishes we can cook here. Let's talk about me. I can at least cook them."

hiss~!

and many more!

Something doesn't seem right?

Mr. Li was holding the tea cup motionless, obviously waiting for him to reveal his identity, and just when he was about to blurt out, he reacted instantly.

"Old Man Li, are you being a little unkind?"

It seemed that he was still a little too excited. Wan Lao felt a little bored. He picked up the tea that Chu Yunfeng had refilled on the table and took a swig.

"How can you be so unkind? Isn't this just a matter of talking? You always have to be frank and honest. You are hiding it, don't you want to have a good talk?"

Mr. Li's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he had a reproachful tone, as if Wan Lao was the one who was insincere.

Wan Lao felt helpless this time for an incompetent person like Mr. Li, and retorted directly: "You didn't even say anything, and you just want to trick me. How embarrassing are you? ?

I don’t care, if you don’t first tell me what dishes are included in this Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han Banquet, then our cooperation will definitely not be able to continue. How do I know whether you know these dishes?
Want to fool me?no way! "

The angry Wan Lao got into a fight with the tea and drank several cups in succession, which made Mr. Li a little helpless. It seemed that he couldn't do it without using some big moves first.

However, Chu Yunfeng did not dare to give any suggestions to Mr. Li, because even he did not know whether Mr. Li knew about the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet menu.

Or do you know something about it?
After coughing, Mr. Li smiled and shook his head, slapped his hand on the table and said, "Well, to show my sincerity, I will let you listen to this menu.

It also lets you know how amazing this Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han Banquet is! "

At this moment, Mr. Li's whole aura was revealed, and he felt like he had the country in hand and the world at his disposal.

"Listen carefully!

This Chengcheng version of the Manchu-Han banquet is divided into: hand dishes, four cold dishes, four court dishes, four sugar bowls, four candied fruits, four hot dishes, eight medium bowls, eight main dishes, four red and four white barbecued pork, and two types of dishes, Two types of midpoints.

There are four kinds of banquets, four kinds of tea snacks, four kinds of side dishes, two kinds of rice and two kinds of sweet dishes. There are a total of 65 dishes. Each dish is unique and has complete procedures and etiquette.

How about it? Isn’t it much more similar to the Beijing version that you can pass down now? "

Although Chu Yunfeng had been observing Wan Lao's expression and there was no change at all after hearing this, he could see that Wan Lao's eyes shrank a lot, which showed the shock in his heart.

However, Wan Lao didn't seem too convinced and immediately retorted: "It's only 65 dishes. Don't you know that in the previous official banquets, the Manchu and Han banquet dishes from all over the country were better than yours no matter which version they were. Does this Chengdu version have more dishes?

As far as I know, the Jiangsu banquet list has 130 categories, the Jinan banquet list has 75 categories, the Guangzhou banquet list has 82 categories, and the one in Chengdu only has 65 categories?

As for my Beijing version, there are still 108 recorded dishes. According to legend, there were two to three hundred dishes back then. Can you compare with this? "

Wan Lao was quite proud when he said it at the end, but he immediately heard Mr. Li's sneer.

"Hey, old man Wan, can you show some face?

Don't tell me how much this is or how much that is, let alone how many are recorded, I just want to ask you how many more dishes you will cook?

There are many large and small restaurants in the capital that claim to be able to make Manchu and Han banquets, but what kind of ghosts do they look like? Don't you have any idea?
Are you not blushing at all when you are still chatting with me here? "

Seeing Mr. Li directly attacking him, Wan Lao did not show any weakness at all: "You also want to show some respect, let me tell you about the Chengdu version of the menu, but what are you talking about?
What you are talking about directly is Xidan, aren't you just changing the concept secretly?

If you could figure out what dishes are on this menu, would I call you a fairy?You deceived me first, and you still have the nerve to accuse me! "

Wan Lao's words are correct. Chu Yunfeng heard the banquet list mentioned by Mr. Li before, but he didn't understand what dishes were at all.

However, Mr. Li continued to argue with Mr. Wan. The two of them came and went, arguing happily, which made Chu Yunfeng feel a little dizzy.

If this continues, it is estimated that the two old men will not be able to come to an outcome even if they argue for a whole day, and he obviously does not have much time, but why does Mr. Li continue to delay?
Seemingly seeing Chu Yunfeng's dilemma, Mr. Li finally suggested: "Let's be more direct. We both write down the number of dishes we know how to cook on paper, and we will announce them together when the time comes. What do you think? "

Write an order?
"That's fine, but don't do any fraud. You're already dozens of years old, so don't lose your old face!"

There was a trace of suspicion on Wan Lao's face, but Mr. Li immediately reminded: "You should pay attention to yourself first, don't play tricks, just write down the number of dishes you know!"

you?

Wan Lao's mouth twitched, and then he asked Chu Yunfeng to find paper and pen.
