Chapter 1023
ended?
This is a little too direct, right?
After all, we were greeted by Mr. Li, shouldn’t we be allowed to have a taste before we leave?

President Hou was shocked. Wan Lao was too disrespectful, right?

At this time, the Bazhen cake had also been steamed. Wan Lao took out all the steamers with two different recipes. After opening it, the aroma suddenly hit his nostrils.

What makes people feel refreshed is that there is a hint of medicinal flavor in this fragrance. On the contrary, it is fresh and pleasant, without the bitter taste like when drinking traditional Chinese medicine.

Unlike President Hou who was in a somewhat depressed mood, Chu Yunfeng was quite happy and immediately answered with a smile: "Thank you so much Wan Lao for bothering you today. If you have time to come to Rongcheng, you must let me do my duty as a landlord. friendship."

This is Chu Yunfeng's sincere thanks. No matter what the reason is, Wan Lao's attitude is not very good, but the old man cooks, and he doesn't have any secrets. He has really learned something good!
What makes Wan Lao feel strange is that he clearly feels Chu Yunfeng's sincere attitude of gratitude, and his desire to fulfill his friendship as a landlord is also sincere.

So even though I had some opinions about Chu Yunfeng before, I was still very pleased with the fact that he respected his elders, so his attitude began to improve a lot.

"Well, you're welcome. When you return to Chengdu, say hello to Mr. Li for me."

After nodding, Wan Lao started to make a call, and asked the people in the kitchen to get the packed food boxes. Finally, he said: "Don't keep this Bazhen cake for too long. It will taste best within two days."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking. Instead, he sat on a chair with his eyes closed and meditated, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chu Yunfeng and President Hou looked at each other with a hint of bitterness on their faces. This trip came quickly, but it also left very quickly!

I thought I didn’t have enough time today, maybe I had to go shopping for a long time, and I didn’t even have enough time to cook when I came back, but now it seems that I have a lot of time, and I can still do a lot of things .

This Bazhen cake is a good thing. It's not even eleven o'clock in the morning, so I can take the time to go home, visit my grandpa and grandma, and bring them this good thing back.

The person who delivered the food boxes came, and he was an "acquaintance". It was Zhao Tianhao who had been here before. When he heard the sound of someone coming, Wan Lao immediately opened his eyes, and he was a little stunned at the sight!

What is this situation?

Why are you here again?

Are you so eager to learn this Lily Cake?
But it's also a good thing to be positive. Wan Lao mumbled and said nothing. Instead, he took the food box from Zhao Tianhao and started packing it himself.

After taking out almost 2/3, I sealed several food boxes and put them all into my pockets.

Zhao Tianhao didn't speak during the whole process, but just helped Wan Lao. At Wan Lao's signal, he gave Chu Yunfeng and President Hou a portion respectively.

Then he continued to return to the chair, still closed his eyes and meditated, which made Chu Yunfeng feel that it was quite amusing. He was a bit childish with the same virtue as Mr. Li.

But before leaving, I still have to remind you: "Wan Lao, thank you for today. I made this wine myself. It's a little bit of my kindness. Please accept it!"

When he first entered the courtyard, Chu Yunfeng had not even had time to personally introduce the wine he had brought, but he still had to say something before leaving.

After all, it was my own wish. It only depends on when Wan Lao can taste the charm of this wine after bringing it all the way from Chengdu.

But according to Chu Yunfeng's estimation, Wan Lao might just put it on display. After all, he seems to be in a bad mood today, but if he can't taste good wine, then it's none of his business!

Wan Laoyou closed his eyes and nodded "Yeah", then Zhao Tianhao made an invitation gesture and led President Hou and Chu Yunfeng out of the courtyard.

As soon as he left the yard, Zhao Tianhao's face immediately changed, with a bright smile on his face: "Master Chu, don't mind, my master's temper is just a little weird, please forgive me!"

Huh~?

Different from Wan Lao's cold temperament, Zhao Tianhao was obviously very enthusiastic, and too enthusiastic, which actually surprised Chu Yunfeng.

"It's okay. Maybe I took the liberty of visiting today, and I happened to run into Wan Lao who was in a bad mood. I won't mind!"

Chu Yunfeng is not the kind of person who tells lies with open eyes. After all, Wan Lao has issued an order to expel guests, and Zhao Tianhao is not blind. If he speaks too politely, it will inevitably make people feel a bit hypocritical.

Sure enough, Chu Yunfeng's uprightness immediately won the favor of Zhao Tianhao, who immediately nodded suddenly and said: "Master Chu is really refreshing. I don't know what happened to this master today, and he is not like this usually.

But if you don't mind, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhao Tianhao, and I am the successor of the new generation of Wanjiacai.

I've heard about Master Chu for a long time, and I've always wanted to share my experience with you. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky today, and I would bump into him like this. If we're not busy, let's go to the kitchen to have a chat? "

The sincerity and excitement on Zhao Tianhao's face made President Hou feel a little awkward. Compared with Wan Lao, it was like the sky or the earth.

However, Chu Yunfeng was still a little surprised by Zhao Tianhao's warm invitation, but he was also curious about what Zhao Tianhao wanted to communicate with him.

It was still early at this moment, so Chu Yunfeng was not in a hurry to leave, so he nodded and said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to follow orders?"

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng readily agreed, Zhao Tianhao seemed very happy, and he immediately smiled and led the way and said: "That's great, our chef has a lot of fans of yours.

Originally, they knew about it when you first arrived, but when you wanted to go to the yard, you were stopped by the master. Our master has a bad temper, and no one will be afraid of him getting angry. "

fan?

Chu Yunfeng was really surprised now. Is he so famous now?

This is Wanjia Cuisine, a branch of palace cuisine. Will it have its own fans here?
Out of curiosity, under the leadership of Zhao Tianhao, he walked to the kitchen area in three or two steps. There was a sign hanging on it: No entry for idlers.

But before Chu Yunfeng could get close to the door of the back kitchen, someone came out and immediately spotted Chu Yunfeng and President Hou brought by Zhao Tianhao.

So the man immediately exclaimed, then turned around and rushed back towards the kitchen. After shouting, many people rushed out from the kitchen.
At this time, Chu Yunfeng discovered that the waitresses accounted for the majority of the group, and several younger chefs also lined up on both sides of the kitchen door, making a gesture of welcoming the inspection.

"This is?"

Chu Yunfeng was a little confused. He looked at everyone carefully and found that he didn't know anyone. How could he be welcomed so much?

Zhao Tianhao started to applaud at this time: "Welcome our Master Chu, where is everyone's applause?"

clap clap clap.
There was loud and rhythmic applause, and everyone laughed.

"Welcome Master Chu!"

"I'm your fan, I've watched every video of yours!"

"The dishes you cook are so exquisite, I really want to eat them!"

Everyone enthusiastically greeted Chu Yunfeng in front of the kitchen door, and Chu Yunfeng was finally convinced that this was indeed his fan.

But the question comes again, why are they so interested in the food they cook?
"Master Chu, let's go in and talk!"

Zhao Tianhao made another gesture of invitation, and before Chu Yunfeng could take a step, the group of waiters and chefs ran up behind him and started pushing him through the door.

Isn't this a little too enthusiastic?
Compared with Mr. Li's frosty treatment just now, Chu Yunfeng's feeling at this moment was completely that of ice and fire. It was a little too warm here, and it felt like he was in a dream.

But after the enthusiasm wore off, President Hou began to feel depressed. What about me?
You all ran in, how could you forget me?

Shaking his head and smiling, President Hou also became very curious. They welcomed Chu Yunfeng so much. If Wan Lao knew about this, what would he think?
At this moment, Wan Lao seemed to hear a commotion coming from the back kitchen, and suddenly felt a little strange. Did something happen in the back kitchen?

However, I felt a little depressed at the moment, and I didn't bother to go over to check. I still sat in a chair in a daze, looking at the snacks I had made before and recalling some past events.

When Chu Yunfeng walked into the kitchen, he realized that the kitchen was quite large, and all the kitchen utensils were arranged very neatly. It seemed that he was a very stylish and quality kitchen.

This also allowed Chu Yunfeng to make a preliminary judgment. The Wanjia cuisine seemed to be quite good. It was not only inherited in an orderly manner, but also very pursuing.

After walking two steps forward, I found that there were two master chefs busy on the kitchen stove. Judging from the age of the two, they should be the real masters of the kitchen.

No wonder all these young people dared to run out. It turned out that someone was sitting in the back kitchen. When the two chefs saw Chu Yunfeng coming in, they turned around with a smile on their faces and said hello to him.

Chu Yunfeng also responded quickly with a smile, but saw that both of them were busy, so he did not go up to greet them immediately.

Zhao Tianhao immediately introduced: "These two masters are both surnamed Wan, one is Wan Tianming and the other is Wan Tianyue, they are both the direct descendants of the Wan family, and they are the ones who make the best dishes in our Wan family. .”

After saying this, Chu Yunfeng understood that these two should be the successors of the Wan family and should be of the same generation as Zhao Tianhao's father.

Then Zhao Tianhao took Chu Yunfeng to have a good look at the design of the kitchen, and explained to him some of the characteristics of Wanjia cuisine.

This allowed Chu Yunfeng to also see one of the biggest characteristics of Wanjia cuisine, which is that it is similar to when he was in Rongcheng in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It was a banquet dish.

In other words, there are no a la carte dishes in the store, but only set meals. Each set meal corresponds to the corresponding number of people and different standards.

Guests can order meals according to their own needs, but they need to make a reservation in advance. Without a reservation, they will not be able to eat even if they come.

This did not make Chu Yunfeng expect that they had carried forward the essence of Xi Zhucai. The dishes needed to be prepared in advance, probably because some dishes took a long time to make.

In order to ensure the quality of the dishes, they can only be prepared in advance. The quality of the dishes made in a hurry will definitely not meet the requirements.

Zhao Tianhao also asked Chu Yunfeng some questions about traditional Sichuan cuisine, including the selection of ingredients and some characteristics of cooking techniques.

Chu Yunfeng never kept secrets about these things, but explained them to him in detail, which made the two masters Wan who were still busy just now stop working, and listened to Chu Yun patiently. Explanation of the wind.

"Not to mention, this traditional Sichuan cuisine has some similarities with our Wanjia cuisine in many production techniques and processes!"

After an in-depth exchange, Zhao Tianhao was inspired. After all, he had some experience after watching Chu Yunfeng's video. After Chu Yunfeng explained it in detail, he was even more inspired.

Chu Yunfeng also nodded in agreement. Zhao Tianhao also told him many cooking concepts and techniques of Wanjia cuisine, which also allowed him to see many cooking methods from more than a hundred years ago, which was also an eye-opener.

Moreover, Chu Yunfeng also discovered that, compared with the current traditional Sichuan cuisine techniques, the ancient methods still retain some details of court production techniques.

After all, these traditional Sichuan dishes were constantly improved and innovated by the two master chefs who came from the palace, and you can see some influence of their cooking skills.

After some exchanges, Chu Yunfeng also felt that he and Zhao Tianhao had a lot of common topics. At the same time, he also discovered that his cooking skills were not low, but he didn't know how good he was at cooking.

Chu Yunfeng's solid skills have long been revealed in the video, and his knowledge of cooking has made Zhao Tianhao admire him, which also made his heart eager to move.

So he immediately started to suggest: "Master Chu, since you are here, why don't you show us your hand?
If you don't dislike it, I will also show my hand, let's communicate with each other? "

If another person he had just met made such a request, Chu Yunfeng would definitely think that he was deliberately provoking, and he would probably not even bother to pay attention to him.

However, Chu Yunfeng had a very good impression of Zhao Tianhao, so he immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, we have to have a charter when we show our skills. What should we cook?"

Upon hearing that Chu Yunfeng agreed so readily, Zhao Tianhao had a bright smile on his face, and even the two Master Wan smiled and nodded, and then went to work on the stove.

The waiters and several young chefs also started to cheer. Many people took out their mobile phones and prepared to start filming. They must record this scene.

"This is a rare occasion. How about we all cook a top-notch dish? It happens to be dinner time right now. Can we cook it while eating?"

Zhao Tianhao looked very excited, so he chose the big dish, but he saw Chu Yunfeng frown slightly.

"It takes too long to prepare the big dishes. I have something to do in the afternoon. How about we each make a special dish first? Let's try it again next time we have a chance, okay?"

It turns out something is wrong!
This made Zhao Tianhao and the others feel a little disappointed, but then Zhao Tianhao recovered his smile and said: "That's okay, the days are long, let's practice today, Master Chu, please!"

Although he had only been in contact with Chu Yunfeng for a short while, Zhao Tianhao had already understood that Chu Yunfeng was not a polite person, so he didn't make things difficult for him and delay his important matters.

Chu Yunfeng was also a little excited. He handed the snacks in his hand to President Hou, then took the apron handed by the waiter. After washing his hands, he stood in front of the kitchen counter with Zhao Tianhao.
