The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 375 Old Chef God

Hearing this, the waiter smiled: "Girl, you really know how to joke. My grandfather grew up here since he was a child. This small shop has been opened for several generations and he has never left. How could he be the chef who is hiding in the wild?" Where is God? Besides, it’s hard for our family to leave our hometown. Although many passing merchants suggest that we go to big cities or the capital for development, we don’t care about it, we just like it here. "

Bai Zhi gave him a thumbs up and praised: "No wonder your grandpa has such good cooking skills."

The waiter replied proudly: "That's right, apart from studying food, my grandfather doesn't care about anything else. It is often said that money is outside the body. Food is the most important thing for people. Opening a restaurant is not only for people to eat well, but also for food. It can keep people alive.”

The last sentence pierced Bai Zhi's heart, the restaurant was opened to keep people alive, and the relationship was still for good deeds.

So she asked tentatively: "Will you give alms to beggars?"

Xiaoer nodded seriously and said: "This is something that must be done for three meals a day. If you don't have money to eat, as long as you come to our store, you will be full for free."

Bai Zhi gave a thumbs up again and praised: "Your old man is really a living Bodhisattva. Excuse me, can we meet him?"

The waiter had a troubled expression on his face, shook his head and replied: "My grandfather never gets out of the kitchen and never accepts gratitude from others. I'm not sure he wants to see a girl. He only knows cooking and is interested in doing charity. There are almost no outsiders.”

Hearing this, Bai Zhi became even better, and asked aloud: "Can you help me? We came from a long way, and we were conquered by his delicious food. I am also good at cooking, so I want to communicate with him."

Xiao Er scratched his head and thought for a while before hesitatingly said: "Then I'll try it, it depends on Grandpa's mood."

Bai Zhi responded gratefully: "Okay, I'm done."

Xiao Er left.

Bai Zhi saw Shen Changyan walking to the door seemingly casually and looking at the street scene, then chatted with Grandpa Bai.

"You always asked, will the old chef see me?"

Grandpa Bai smiled and didn't express his opinion, but said: "It's really a blessing to be able to open such a small shop in such a small town and do what I like to do. It's a pity that my old lady and I were wasted in the capital. , opened a pharmacy..."

Bai Zhi could hear these emotions coming from the bottom of his heart, but also with helplessness.

She also understood that Grandpa Bai had a mission and was destined not to become a free man like the old chef.

"Grandpa Bai, Granny Bai is with you. You just play with your bottles and jars every day, aren't you happy?"

Grandpa Bai laughed: "It's a girl who knows how to persuade people."

While joking, Xiao Er came back.

As soon as she saw the smile on his face, Bai Zhi knew something was up.

"Did the old God of Chef agree to see us?"

The waiter nodded and said with a smile: "My grandfather agreed to meet you because you are also good at cooking. He wants to compete with you, but they..."

As he spoke, he looked around at the prince and the others, meaning that they could not go.

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "We are together, so let's meet the old God of Cooking together. In this way, we can compete with the old God of Cooking. They can also be witnesses and help with chores. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be able to go to see the old God of Cooking by myself. , as if I can."

The waiter had a troubled expression on his face, shook his head and replied, "It's rare for my grandpa to see you."

Bai Zhi thought for a while and said: "Tell the old chef that he made the braised elbow and omitted a few steps. Although it was cooked with great care, the taste is inevitably a little regrettable. That is, the elbow was soaked in cold water overnight before braised. , and then use a strong fire to sear the pig skin. Of course, you can also put it in a hot pan and sear the pig skin until golden brown. This can remove the fishy smell of the pig skin, and the finished product will be perfect."

After hearing this, the waiter exclaimed: "You really know how to cook. It is true that grandpa cooked the first two steps of braised pork elbow and cooked it directly. At first, grandpa was also worried that some diners would taste it and be unhappy, but unexpectedly, no one did. You It’s No. 1. I’m going to tell grandpa right now, and he will be very happy.”

After saying that, he ran back to the kitchen again and came out not long after.

"Follow me to the back hall."

Bai Zhi happily looked at Grandpa Bai, and it was done.

Grandpa Bai gave her an appreciative look, the girl was really awesome.

A group of people followed Xiaoer through the back hall and into the backyard, and saw an old man with white hair standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree with his hands behind his back.

The waiter walked forward and said respectfully: "Grandpa, the girl is here."

The white-haired old man turned around, and it was no surprise that he had a childlike face, his face was rosy, and he looked very good.

Bai Zhi and others rushed forward to pay respects.

The old God of Cooking hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "I know a few people, I am very happy, especially I heard that this girl is very good at cooking, the old man really wants to ask her for advice."

Bai Zhi smiled modestly: "I'm just good at cooking, and I'm far behind you, the old chef."

The old God of Cooking laughed: "I'm not an old God of Cooking, I'm a girl's honorific name for this old man, but this old man knows how much he weighs. The girl is modest. Please drink tea here..."

He made an invitation gesture and invited everyone to drink tea at the stone table next to him.

After being seated, the tea is filled.

The old God of Cooking couldn't wait to ask: "Girl, I have a difficult problem that I can't solve. Would you like to give me some advice?"

Bai Zhi nodded and said: "Don't dare to give advice, please come and listen to the old master chef."

The old chef stroked his gray beard and sighed: "Old fried meat is no longer soft and crispy as soon as it cools down. I have tried many methods but it doesn't work. I don't know why. Can you give me some advice?"

When Bai Zhi heard this question, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In the previous life, this was not a problem, after all, there were plenty of ingredients at that time, but in this era, many ingredients are not available, so the resurgence of fried meat is inevitable.

But to her, it wasn't a problem at all.

"This is easy to solve. Old Chef God, did you use flour to wrap the meat? It doesn't matter whether it is dry flour or paste flour?"

The old cooking god nodded and said, "That's right. Miss, do you know how to solve the resurgence of fried meat?"

Bai Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "This is not difficult, the old chef is just missing one thing."

Upon hearing that there was a solution, the old chef showed a surprised expression on his face and asked eagerly: "What is that?"

Bai Zhi knew that there were sweet potatoes in this era, but there was no starch, and people did not know how to extract starch.

She thought for a while and asked: "Old Chef God, do you have any sweet potatoes at home?"

The old chef nodded and said, "Yes, customers often order carrot sweet potatoes."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "That's easy to handle."

The old chef then went to get a basket of sweet potatoes himself.

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "Do you have water, old man? Let's wash the sweet potatoes."

The old God of Cooking nodded and said: "Okay, just ask any girls you need."

In this way, Bai Zhi taught the old chef to extract starch from crushed sweet potatoes.
