I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 206 Three Conditions
"Where's the old man, why don't you see him?" Li He looked left and right, but didn't see the rightful owner.

"Master, he is in the study, and he is usually not easy to meet people. Let's try my Cao Cao chicken first, and see if it is different from the ones you have eaten." Chef Lin brought the main course.

Seeing a table of sumptuous dishes, the three of them couldn't bear it for a long time, and put their politeness and reservedness to the back of their minds. Of course, before moving their chopsticks, they asked the camera crew to take pictures of this delicious table.No need for a filter, this table full of Anhui cuisine is enough to attract the eyes and taste buds of foodies.

When it started, the mischievous old Hu tore off a chicken leg, and then deliberately leaned in front of the camera: "Please eat chicken..."

Looking at the thick black red sauce and the attractive color of the chicken legs, not to mention the audience who will watch the show in the future, even the cameraman can't help but want to hit someone at this time.While watching the three of them feasting enviously, the camera brother silently took the bread and gnawed it with mineral water.

Fortunately, because Chef Lin cooks a lot, even if Li He eats a lot, he still can't clean it up, so the staff of the program team are lucky to taste these dishes.Especially the Cao Cao chicken, which was snatched away in a second.

Chef Lin watched this scene proudly. As a chef, what he wants most is to see his dishes loved by diners and then wiped out.

Satisfied with water and food, the four of them sat in the main room and chatted contentedly, mainly to learn about the history of Anhui cuisine and how to make it.Chef Lin didn't hide his secrets either, and carefully explained to Li He and the others how to make some representative Anhui dishes.

Among them, Chef Lin was surprised by Li He's savvy, and said to Li He: "It seems that you are very hopeful, let the old man come out of the mountain again, and cook a Cao Cao chicken for you."

Mr. Liang was taking a nap, taking advantage of this time, Li He hurriedly asked, "What are Mr. Liang's three conditions?"

Chef Lin smiled mysteriously: "Three conditions, one is to find chicken, one is to cook, and the third is the most difficult, let Mr. Liang eat it."

Li He and Lao Hu Baidoufu looked at each other, what kind of condition is this?

Bai Doufu said: "Please tell me in detail, so that we can be mentally prepared."

"It's very simple. The first one to find a chicken is to find a chicken that is suitable for Cao Cao's chicken, and then cook. Use this chicken to make a chicken dish. The reason why this is the most difficult is because you want to impress the old man with this dish. Let him taste this dish." Chef Lin said.

Lao Hu and Bai Doufu looked at Li He together, Li He touched his nose and said, "Look at me?"

"It goes without saying, of course I want you to cook the chicken." Lao Hu said.

"That's right, you are the best at cooking among the three of us." Bai Doufu echoed.

"I cook, so what do you guys do?" Li He asked back.

"The two of us went to find a chicken..." The two said in unison, but Li He felt that the chicken of the two of them was a bit dishonest.

Without seeing the old man, the three of Li He made an appointment with Chef Lin to come back for a visit in three days, and they went back home.After seeing off the three of them, Chef Lin came to a side room on the east side. Mr. Liang was lying on the Taishi chair, and there was a pot of fragrant Suihan Sanyou on the tea table next to him, leisurely and contented.

"They left?" the old man opened his eyes and asked Chef Lin.

"Let's go, master, didn't you say that you will never cook again? Why did you change your mind this time?" Chef Lin was puzzled. A great pity for the chef world.

Outsiders know that Mr. Liang has not been cooking for many years, but they don't know the reason, and think that Mr. Liang has a weird temper.In fact, this is a touching love story that has known each other for decades. Mr. Liang became a chef largely because of Chef Lin's wife.

Now Mr. Liang is more than 90 years old, and Chef Lin can be regarded as his closed apprentice, and he has never accepted other apprentices since then.

Mr. Liang didn't answer, but stared at an old and yellowed picture in a daze. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Like, it's so similar. After so many years, I still can't forget it!"

Chef Lin was at a loss, not knowing what the old man was talking about.In fact, few people know about these old events. Mr. Liang is talking about one of the people in the group photo, a good friend who learned cooking together, memories of youth...

Back at the hotel, the three of them discussed how to find a chicken that satisfied the old man, and left the cooking to Li He, who was the best at cooking chicken.

This is also due to Da Mimi. During pregnancy, Da Mimi needs to consume a high amount of food in order to supplement nutrition, but how to cook delicious and nutritious dishes is a difficult point, so Li He The first-hand papaya chicken has reached the point of perfection.

As an authentic Yunnan dish, papaya chicken has a long history, and there are many chefs who are good at this dish. Li He has benefited from his family background. After all, his predecessor’s mother and cheap sister are both good at cooking this dish. .

There were three days, and before it was too late, Li He called Da Mimi and asked her to send over the ingredients, mainly a dried papaya slice or something like that.

Laohu and Baidoufu went shopping around. According to Chef Lin’s advice, Cao Cao’s chickens are suitable for tender hens that have grown for about one or two years. Such chickens are easy to find, but is it really that simple?

After discussing with Baidoufu, Lao Hu and White Tofu spent a lot of effort to find a kind of local chicken. This kind of chicken is free-range. Because of regular exercise, the meat is firm and the taste is good.

Three days later, the three of them came to Old Man Liang again, and this time they finally saw him give way. The old man was bald, and a goatee on his chin was already white. He was wearing a Chinese tunic suit. Although he was ninety years old, he walked steadily and full of energy.

The old man didn't talk nonsense when he saw the three of Li He, he directly observed the two chickens he brought, nodded in satisfaction and said: "It's not bad that you can find this chicken, it shows that you put your heart into it."

"Thank you, can we start then?" Li Hyuk asked.

The old man nodded, turned to Chef Lin and said, "Take them to the kitchen..."

"Thank you..." Li He followed Chef Lin to the kitchen with the ingredients. Lao Hu and Bai Tofu killed the chicken. The process was a bit bloody. Because the freshness was guaranteed, the merchant did not slaughter the chicken after buying it.

This scene is somewhat unsuitable for children, so the camera did not capture it, but focused on filming Li Hyuk cooking.Li He is a veteran in the kitchen, after the initial discomfort, he gradually became more proficient later on.

While making Li Hyuk, I thought, although the requirement is to cook chicken, but it is not limited to only chicken, there should be several other side dishes.As a chef, the most taboo thing is to follow the rules. In that case, you can be regarded as an assembly line worker at most. A good chef should have his own ideas and personality, and he can only improve by constantly innovating.

Thinking of this, and after obtaining Chef Lin's opinion, Li He brought out a few simple Anhui dishes that he had learned in the past few days.

When all the dishes were ready, the old man had been waiting for a long time. He squinted at Li He, and then at the fragrant papaya chicken. Without further ado, he picked up a small spoon and a bowl to try it.

Lao Hu winked very much, and hurried forward to act as a waiter, serving a bowl of soup for the old man for him to taste.

The old man has the characteristics of a gourmet. He smelled the taste first, his eyes lit up, he picked up a small spoon, and took a sip of the soup. He actually felt that the taste was quite rich.

In fact, when the elderly get older, their taste function will degenerate, which is one of the reasons why many elderly people feel that food is not tasty.The sour and refreshing taste of this papaya chicken just stimulated the taste buds, which made the old man feel a big appetite, and couldn't help but eat a big bowl.

As a chef, you must first know how to eat, and delicious food is not necessarily made by chefs. There are many home-cooking masters whose dishes are not inferior to restaurant chefs. At most, the dishes are not as good as restaurant chefs It's just good looking.

Delicious food pays attention to the taste and taste, and Li He's papaya chicken can be considered to meet these three requirements.

The old man sat down after eating, looked at the three of them and said, "You have some skills to come here to ask for advice. May I ask where your teachers are from?"

Li He replied: "To be honest, old man, we are the hosts of a gourmet variety show, and we are here to record the show this time. As for this papaya chicken, my sister taught me, and many people in Yunnan province can make it well." better than me."

"Dian Province, that's a good place." The old man sighed, and then said, "Since that's the case, I can't justify it if I don't do it, so I'll make a Cao Cao chicken for you."

"Great," Li He and Lao Hu clapped their hands in celebration, and it was a success.

The old man waved his hands and said to Li He: "Seeing that you are very skilled in your movements, just give me a shot."

Li He readily agreed, and it would not be a disadvantage to help the imperial chef.
