Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

"Today's chef is specially invited by my Xiaoxi. Everyone, please try it and see how it tastes."

Yang Deyi's face was filled with smiles as he warmly invited relatives and friends to take a seat.

After saying that, he turned to look at Old Lu on his left and said with a smile: "Old Lu, you have been praising this chef's food and that chef's food to me in the capital for these years. Today, you are here with us, you must taste the cooking skills of our chefs."

Old Lu smiled and nodded: "Let's not talk about anything else, the two pieces of Dingsheng cake just now have already revealed the chef's true skills."

Old Jia nodded and agreed, "Indeed, the Dingsheng cake tastes really good. It is the best Dingsheng cake I have tasted in all these years, bar none. Moreover, the dishes on this table look very good and smell very fragrant, so they must taste good."

The other guests were confused. They could understand every word, but when they were put together it was a little confusing.

Saying.

Are they missing out on something exciting?
Or is Yang Deyi seeking special treatment?
If it's the latter, that's really not nice.

So...

A guest asked curiously: "Yang Deyi, what is the Dingsheng cake they are talking about? Since it is so delicious, why not take it out and let everyone taste it?"

Yang Deyi's heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately cast a look that was mixed with slight reproach and helplessness at Lao Lu and Lao Jia: You two are really bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic and are causing trouble for me.

But he quickly adjusted his mood, a smile bloomed on his face again, and he quickly explained: "This Dingsheng Cake is actually a birthday gift specially prepared for me by Chef Huang, who was invited by my daughter. The quantity is really limited. A lot of it has been eaten up by Lao Lu and Lao Jia just now. Now there is not much left. I really can't share it with you all. I hope you will forgive me."

Old Lu: “…”

Old Jia: “…”

Hey, Old Yang, it’s fine if you don’t want to give it up, but you’re putting the blame on them…

You are so unkind!

The main purpose of having a good brother is to take the blame, right?
Forget it!

Today is Lao Yang’s birthday. He is the oldest, so as long as he is happy…

After hearing this, the other guests, although feeling a little disappointed, all gave understanding looks and nodded. Some even started to tease Lao Lu and Lao Jia, adding some laughter to the scene: "Haha, Lao Lu, Lao Jia, you two are really the 'leaders of foodies'. You even remember to taste the birthday presents!"

Old Lu and Old Jia smiled at each other and scratched their heads slightly embarrassedly.

"Hehe, it's really because this Dingsheng Cake is too tempting that we can't control ourselves for a moment."

Old Lu explained in a simple and honest manner.

"That's right, it's because the magic of this pastry is so great that we've both been 'poisoned' by it!" Lao Jia agreed humorously, and then changed his expression to serious, "I'll have to ask this chef for some advice later."

"Yes, we are all looking forward to meeting this chef who has won praises from both Lao Lu and Lao Jia."

Everyone's faces were filled with curiosity and anticipation, and they all echoed the sentiment.

"Okay! I will introduce you to him later!"

Yang Deyi's hearty laughter echoed in the air. His eyes inadvertently caught Huang Jun who was carrying a tray. Then he said with a smile: "What a coincidence, speaking of the devil, the devil appears. No need to wait, let me introduce the head chef of this event to everyone - Chef Huang Jun."

All of a sudden...

Everyone's eyes turned to Huang Jun.

Huang Jun was slightly stunned by this sudden attention, and then a smile that was both surprised and slightly shy broke out on his face.

"Papa~"

At this time, the clear children's voices of Qingqing and Weiwei broke the silence of the scene.

That's right.

When they saw Huang Jun, their eyes sparkled with joy, as if they had discovered a new continent, and they called him in their baby voices.

Huang Jun nodded to the two little ones, indicating that he had seen them, and signaled with his eyes that they should sit still and not make any noise.

The two little ones seemed to sense the meaning in his eyes, and they covered their mouths with their hands like ladies.

"Chef Huang, you've arrived just in time. Come over and dine with us, and let everyone get to know you."

Yang Deyi greeted them warmly. As he spoke, he reached out to help Huang Jun take the exquisite soup bowls off the tray one by one and gently placed them on the revolving table. He added: "These are all Chef Huang's specialties. Everyone should try them carefully."

"Hey, okay!"

Old Lu nodded, and immediately took a step ahead of Yang Yuxi, moving the dining chair next to him, and enthusiastically invited Huang Jun to take a seat: "Chef Huang, please take a seat!"

"Thank you!"

Huang Jun thanked him with a smile, walked to the table and gently put down the tray in his hand.

He looked around at the guests and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Huang Jun. I feel very honored to be able to cook for you here today. I sincerely hope that every dish I prepare will be liked by you."

"Chef Huang, we have witnessed your cooking skills, they are truly amazing!" said Lao Lu excitedly.

"Yes, every bite of the Dingsheng cake you made is a pleasure. Lao Lu and I are looking forward to the next dishes." Lao Jia also said impatiently.

Huang Jun nodded slightly, with a confident and humble smile on his face: "I am really happy to be recognized by everyone. Then, please enjoy it as soon as possible. Food requires warmth and freshness. It loses its flavor when it gets cold."

"Yes, yes, everyone, please don't be polite, let's start eating!"

Yang Deyi greeted warmly.

"Don't worry, Lao Yang, do we still need to be polite to each other? I will definitely not be formal with you."

Old Jia smiled and patted Yang Deyi on the shoulder.

As Lao Jia finished speaking, the guests picked up their chopsticks and began to taste the delicious dishes on the table.

Although I was mentally prepared and knew that these carefully prepared dishes would definitely taste good, when I actually put them in my mouth, I was still a little shocked by the wonderful taste.

These dishes are so delicious!
The cold dishes are crispy, tender and refreshing, and every bite seems to jump on the tip of the tongue, making people unforgettable once they taste it; the hot dishes are even more delicious, and every bite is full of the chef's ingenuity and profound skills.

The guests present were all successful business owners. Most of them were good eaters and had very picky tastes.

They eat too many good things, so they have extremely high requirements for the taste and quality of food, and can tell the good from the bad just by eating it.

They tasted the food slowly and found it delicious.

Especially the garlic lobster and Longjing shrimp, which are simply delicious. The garlic lobster is fragrant and the meat is tender and juicy; the Longjing shrimp is even more fresh and refined, the fragrance of tea and the deliciousness of shrimp are perfectly blended, and every bite seems to be telling the story of spring, which is intoxicating.

Lao Jia especially loves eating seafood, but because of his gout problem, his family members always keep an eye on him and don't let him eat too much.

But today, he really let himself go and ate a lot of seafood.

Especially the Longjing Shrimp, he always felt that the taste was very familiar, very much like the taste of an old friend of his.

He couldn't help but look at Huang Jun who was not far away, and asked, "Chef Huang, did you make all these dishes yourself?"

Huang Jun smiled and nodded, and replied: "Yes, I cook every dish myself."

"Lao Jia, what's wrong? Is this dish not to your taste? Or is there another reason?"

Yang Deyi, who was standing by, noticed that Lao Jia looked strange and couldn't help but interrupt with concern.

Although he has full faith in Huang Jun's cooking skills and thinks it's delicious, it's hard to satisfy everyone. Individual taste buds vary greatly. What he thinks is good may not necessarily be good for others...

“Every dish was delicious!”

Old Jia waved his hand and turned his gaze to the empty Longjing shrimp dish, a trace of sadness in his eyes: "It is this Longjing shrimp that reminds me of an old friend. He was a great chef, but unfortunately he is gone. The dish made by Chef Huang tastes almost exactly the same as his, which reminds me of him instantly."

"Old friend? Who is it?" Yang Deyi asked curiously.

Old Jia replied calmly, "His last name is Yu."

"Yu? I don't remember this surname..."

He searched his mind again and again, but still couldn't find the corresponding memory.

He said self-deprecatingly: "That's normal. After all, you have a wide circle of friends, Lao Jia. You know a lot of people."

After saying that, he turned to look at Huang Jun, his eyes flashing with expectation: "Chef Huang, you are a rising star in the chef world. Have you heard of this chef named Yu?"

"I do not recognize."

Huang Jun shook his head slightly with a confused look on his face.

Old Jia nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a deep feeling: "Chef Huang, you and Chef Yu are quite different in age, so it is normal that you don't know each other. But I never thought that you are so young, but your cooking skills are so outstanding. Compared with Chef Yu back then, you are on par with him, and even better in some aspects."

Huang Jun waved his hands when he heard this, with a modest smile on his face: "Oh, you really flatter me. I have just started to explore the road of cooking, how can I be compared with the experienced chef Yu? However, it is indeed a great encouragement for me to get your affirmation."

Lao Jia nodded, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes: "You are young and promising, but not arrogant or impatient. Chef Huang, your future is limitless."

The guests around him also nodded, expressing their sincere appreciation for Huang Jun's humility and cooking skills.

At this time, Yang Deyi greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Don't just chat, come, come, eat some food, try the crab roe stewed lion head made by Chef Huang, it tastes delicious."

talking.

He reached out and brought a bowl of exquisite lion's head soup to his table and opened the lid of the soup bowl.

moment.

An intoxicating and delicious aroma hits your nose...

This aroma combines the mellow fragrance of pork, the richness of the broth, and the sweetness of shrimp and crab.

Just a sniff...

All the pores on my body seem to relax in this wonderful smell.

The aroma of this dish alone is enough to make people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

He picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of hot soup from the soup bowl, but did not rush to taste it. Instead, he carefully poured the hot soup on the delicate layer of crab powder and shrimp roe on the lion's head.

The purpose of this method is to allow the delicious essence of crab meat and shrimp roe to fully blend into the soup, making the taste of the broth even more wonderful.

At the same time, the hot soup can also allow the crab powder and shrimp roe to spread evenly on the surface of the lion's head along with the soup, so that the freshness of the shrimp and crab can penetrate every inch of the lion's head, making the whole dish more layered in taste.

He touched the slightly rough but charming lion head in the soup bowl with a spoon, and it immediately began to tremble slightly under the slight touch.
This is the unique effect of being made from pure meat without adding starch. The meat filling is tightly united together while still maintaining the natural elasticity of the meat.

He used a spoon to probe into the lion's head, gently twisted and lifted it, and a plump lion's head jumped onto the spoon.

It trembles slightly in the spoon, sparkling with an alluring luster due to the rich oil, like a carefully carved piece of amber, crystal clear and pleasing to the eye.

He put the piece of meat into his mouth, and with just a light touch of his tongue, the piece of meat slowly blossomed in his mouth, transforming into delicate minced meat, truly achieving the highest realm of melting in the mouth.

Delicious!

At this moment, he seemed to be in a sea of ​​delicious food. Every chew was the ultimate pampering for his taste buds, and more like a soothing and massage that went deep into his soul.

The moment the lion's head enters the mouth, everything around seems to be eclipsed, and only this taste feast becomes the most splendid existence in the universe.

This feeling is so wonderful!
On the side, the guests also launched an "attack" on the lion head.

Old Lu took only a small bite, and his eyes lit up instantly: "Oh my god, this crab roe stewed lion head is light, but it's so delicious that it makes my eyebrows fall off!"

Old Jia also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this crab roe stewed crab meat has an elegant and non-greasy taste, and a fresh and refined taste. Every bite is just right, making people feel comfortable physically and mentally, as if they are unconsciously intoxicated by this taste feast."

The other guests were the same, and they were obsessed with the deliciousness of the lion's head.

At first, they were worried that they had eaten so much food that they would not be able to handle the huge lion head. However, when they came to their senses, the lion head, which was as big as a fist, had disappeared without a trace.

It’s not that they all have huge appetites. In fact, the wonderful delicacy makes them completely forget the amount of food they have to eat and they only focus on immersing themselves in the wonderful taste that melts in their mouths.

After tasting the lion's head, they cleared away the rapeseed on the plate.

The rapeseed fully absorbs the essence of the soup, and its own refreshing taste brings a different kind of enjoyment to the taste buds.

Finally, they did not forget to drink up the soup in the soup bowl without leaving a drop.

In short, all the guests present were absolutely amazed. This meal was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much and was so full that when it came to tasting the birthday cake, no one could eat any more.

Even Qingqing and Weiwei, who have always had a special liking for sweets, only took a symbolic bite and said they couldn't eat any more.

As the cake tasting came to an end, the birthday party slowly came to an end, adding a perfect footnote to the beautiful memories of this day... (End of this chapter)
