A mouthful of fried rice at a sky-high price, Old Tang apprenticed on the spot

Chapter 468 New Harvest
Waiting quietly for the memory isolation to take effect, Li Yi looked at the inscriptions that emerged on the wooden tablet.

Zheng Er (August 55th in the ninth year of Yongzheng to the ninth day of March in the [-]th year of Qianlong)

Male, from Jinling, learned how to cook at 23th, and learned how to cook in Jinling Bianyifang. He entered the palace in the 55rd year of Qianlong, and later served as the chief chef of the imperial dining room. He was good at cooking poultry.

Looking at the inscription, Li Yi reviewed Zheng Er's memory.

From these inscriptions, Zheng Er's life cannot be fully glimpsed.

Before possessing Zheng Er, he didn't know much about Zheng Er, he only knew that he was serious and dull, and he was often followed by two fat apprentices.

But after possessing himself, he realized that Zheng Er's character was developed in childhood.

Zheng Er was raised by his biological father since he was a child, but his biological father beat and scolded him, and sent him to be an apprentice before he grew up.

But in that era, it was not easy to manage him to eat and drink, and to grow him up.

Zheng Er still respects his father very much in his heart.

After he went to Bianyifang as an apprentice, he always wanted to learn the craft and roast a duck for his father himself.

On the one hand, it is to repay his father's kindness in nurturing, and on the other hand, he also wants to prove to his father that he can already support himself.

But because he has no talent, he is naturally slow in taste and clumsy, so other apprentices have already left the teacher, but he is still an apprentice.

Finally, just before he spent twice as long as the other apprentices, his biological father passed away due to the cold.

The son wants to support but does not wait for the relatives, which also created Zheng Er's dull character.

It is precisely because of this regret that Zheng Erjiang pinned his feelings for his father on Ding Laowu, the master of Bianyifang.

It just so happened that Ding Lao Wu had no children, and seeing that Zheng Er was honest and kind to him, he adopted him as a godson and taught him roast duck and the technique of making duck offal.

Ding Laowu's wife is also the daughter of Tao Fang, a famous chef in Jinling.

Zheng Er's culinary talent is poor, but he has one advantage, that is, he is obedient.

Every time Ding Laowu scolded him because he couldn't control the heat, he wasn't angry. Instead, he would go back and think about it over and over again, trying to find a way to improve it.

Diligence can make up for one's weakness. In the end, he relied on lessons learned over and over again to sum up his experience, and gradually went from being scolded to being full of praise.

And when he was praised, because of his low self-esteem, he never dared to take it seriously, and was always cautious. Every time he cooked, he was serious and meticulous to the extreme.

In the later stage, he was really bewildered to the point of counting the grains of salt.

But the delusion turned into delusion, and his culinary skills improved day by day, which finally made him stand out and become the chief chef of the imperial dining room.

He is the complete opposite of Zhang Dongguan.

Zhang Dongguan is very talented, God appreciates food, has an absolute sense of taste, no matter what kind of dish, he can taste it all in one bite, and then reproduce it, even better than the original version.

And Zheng Er took one step at a time, worked hard, never dared to make mistakes, and reached the peak by relying on absolute seriousness.

Looking back at Zheng Er's memory, Li Yiruo realized something.

Almost all the royal chefs he possessed before were born good cooks, and their talents were not bad.

But this is the first time he has experienced how a chef with extremely poor talent like Zheng Er became a top chef.

This is completely different from his previous possession experience.

When he was possessed before, he was not slow to learn things, and with the blessing of previous possessing experience, he could be faster.

But this time after he possessed Zheng Er, he had to pay attention to some subtle basic issues by understanding the way of thinking of a relatively less talented person like Zheng Er, and instead gained new gains.

This is like letting an eighty-level tuba enter the novice village and become a first-level trumpet.

You can't use any equipment or skills, you can only start from scratch and use the most basic techniques to fight.

Although they are all the most basic things, if you look at them from the perspective and angle of an eighty-level tuba, you can see a lot of new things that you have never noticed before.

Just like Zheng Er, in order to verify the optimal ratio of old ginger, he spent half a year making ginger ducks hundreds of times.

Every time I use different types of old ginger with different ratios, let the mother and master taste it, so as to find the most balanced ratio.

If it was a talented player like Zhang Dongguan, he only needed to taste it once or twice, compare his own taste, and adjust slightly according to the feedback from diners, and he would be done.

But Zheng Er had to spend hundreds of times to find the balance.

Although this method is stupid, it is very scientific and highly reproducible.

Zhang Dongguan had only had five apprentices in his life, but he didn't even have a successful one.

But Zheng Er had taught more than 300 apprentices in his life, and more than 40 of them became the mainstay in the imperial dining room.

And the other apprentices also went to various places among the people and became independent existences.

In terms of technical level, there is a gap between Zheng Er and Zhang Dongguan.

But in the aspect of spreading art and benefiting people, Zheng Er's achievements are many times higher than Zhang Dongguan's.

Li Yi looked back at the metal plate. Except for the addition of a [Hundred Birds and Phoenix Feast] on the information above, there was no new change in the occupation level.

His chef level is still [Famous Chef].

In the last program, he taught the audience a lot of pastry skills through the program, but he still failed to improve his professional level.

If he hadn't possessed Zheng Er, he might not understand, thinking that he didn't teach enough skills.

But after possessing Zheng Er, he understood that it wasn't that he didn't pass on his skills enough, but that he didn't benefit people enough.

His culinary skills are getting higher and higher, and his understanding of cooking skills, as well as some cooking skills at his fingertips, have widened the gap with ordinary culinary enthusiasts, or even ordinary chefs, but he has not noticed.

It's like he showed how to make exquisite [Hundred Flowers Crisp] and [Wake Lion Crisp] in the show.

But for ordinary culinary enthusiasts, they can only watch the excitement, but if they try it themselves, they often don't know how to start.

This should also be the reason why the program team organized a pastry activity with Brother Yi, allowing viewers to upload their own pastry creations, and most of the viewers uploaded the simplest peach cakes.

This also reminded Li Yi that during the food training for the upcoming Gaoyou Lake Food Festival, he had to think more about the choice of snacks and the difficulty of making them.

The memory is gradually alienated, and finally, it stays on the memory fragment of the head of the imperial dining room who came to announce Qianlong's oral order, asking Zheng Er to be in charge of organizing the [-]th birthday of Empress Xiaoshengxian.

And this is obviously the task of this dream space.

With a thought, Li Yi returned to reality, exhausted.

The voice with Liu Yifei is still connected, and it has been three hours.

The blood from the cut wound is still effective, and the real world has not passed too long.

Hearing Liu Yifei's breathing, Li Yi's heart instantly settled down.

With a slight smile, he switched to the WeChat collection, clicked on the script that Wang Tian had sent him before, and looked at the guest list for the next issue.

He remembered correctly, it was indeed the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
