Chapter 1187 The biggest pit in history.
What Chu Yunfeng never expected was that the shredded radish in Mr. Li's hand turned out to be the same as before. Not only the carrots, but also the white radish had no flaws.

But this was not over yet. When Mr. Li picked up the big white radish that had been placed beside him and started carving directly, Chu Yunfeng was surprised to find that being blindfolded had no impact on him at all.

Wherever I should cut, I continued to cut without any hesitation, and the speed was always the same as if I had my eyes open.

My god, how did this happen?
First of all, Chu Yunfeng didn't believe that Mr. Li would practice blindfolded without any problem, so how did he do it?

Until Mr. Li carved out an identical pigeon, and it took almost the same amount of time, Chu Yunfeng still didn't understand what was going on.
Why can't I do what the old man can do?

Judging from the speed and skill of Mr. Li just now, the gap between his knife skills and carving skills is not that big. However, Mr. Li obviously has a natural feeling, which makes him feel that the gap is irreparable.

"Well, do you see what's coming?"

After Mr. Li took off the shady scene, seeing Chu Yunfeng's dazed look, he asked proudly.

"I can see it a little bit, but I don't seem to understand anything!"

Chu Yunfeng nodded first, then shook his head, which made Mr. Li laugh. Then he touched his mustache with satisfaction, picked up the purple clay pot and took a sip of tea.

However, Chu Yunfeng was not discouraged, but asked curiously: "If I practice more with my eyes covered, can I reach your level?"

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng still didn't understand the reason, Mr. Li said noncommittally: "Then why don't you try it yourself?"

let me try?

Chu Yunfeng was very depressed by these obviously irresponsible words, so he immediately said helplessly: "You old man, don't be so pretentious. Just tell me what is the mystery behind this!"

This time, Mr. Li didn't try to be too pretentious and directly explained Chu Yunfeng's doubts: "Although I don't know how you improved so quickly, this kind of improvement will cause some deviations in your understanding.

That is to say, your real understanding of the ingredients will be insufficient. In other words, you do not have that kind of heartfelt understanding of the ingredients.

If you want to be familiar with the ingredients, you must have a deep understanding of the ingredients. How many dishes can be made from one ingredient, and you must be familiar with its various properties.

You are still far behind on this point!

But it’s not your fault. You currently know too few dishes, so you will be asked to learn a lot of dishes and improve your awareness of the ingredients. "

Mr. Li's words instantly made Chu Yunfeng's eyes light up, and he immediately understood what the old man meant, that is, although he could cook some high-quality dishes, he was only superficially good at it.

That is to say, I know and are familiar with the recipes of these dishes and the processing methods of ingredients, but my awareness of the dishes is not too high, which is also one of my shortcomings.

If I were asked to use radishes to cook more dishes, I would definitely be inferior to Mr. Li. He would probably be able to make ten times more dishes than me.

But after hearing these words from Mr. Li, Chu Yunfeng immediately asked excitedly: "Can I learn to cook? Do you want to teach me how to cook a lot of dishes?"

Mr. Li nodded, and then criticized again: "If you learn cooking, you know how to cook. Learning to cook now is not like before. After I finish cooking, you have to tell me about this dish." Where is the essence.

If you can’t tell it, don’t even think about learning the next dish! "

Although it felt a bit difficult, Chu Yunfeng couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Mr. Li finally gave him permission to cook. At his old man's place, he would probably be able to learn many, many long-lost dishes.

These dishes must have been developed by those great masters in the past. Although not every dish is extremely difficult and exquisite, they are definitely much more gorgeous than the home-cooked dishes on the market today.

Not knowing what dishes he would learn, Chu Yunfeng naturally started to ask questions.

Then Mr. Li left again, seemingly to pick up something from the house. When he came back, Chu Yunfeng saw that he had several books in his hand.

When Mr. Li came closer, Chu Yunfeng took a closer look and found that the books had already turned yellow, and the top one didn't seem to be a book, but a notebook.

Just when Chu Yunfeng wanted to take it and take a look, Mr. Li immediately put the book behind him.

"Let me see it. What kind of book is it? It can't be a recipe, right?"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Li actually played a child's game. Chu Yunfeng turned sideways and wanted to look over, but Mr. Li followed suit and refused to let Chu Yunfeng see what was going on.

"It's not impossible to watch it, but once you watch it, you must fully grasp all the dishes on it. Are you sure you want to watch it?"

Mr. Li seemed to be deliberately digging a hole for himself, but Chu Yunfeng, whose curiosity had taken over, agreed without even thinking.

Aren't they just some dishes? I just need to learn them from you. It seems so difficult. Are you afraid that you won't be able to learn them after watching them again?
Chu Yunfeng's attention was focused on these things behind Mr. Li, and he didn't even realize that after he agreed, a snicker appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Remember what you said just now, don't go back on your word!"

Mr. Li laughed involuntarily, as if he was very happy that it was too easy for him to dig a hole.

"Remember, remember, I have never gone back on what I said. Isn't it just cooking? How big a deal is it?"

Well, it was just cooking, and it was done so mysteriously. After Chu Yunfeng agreed, he stretched out his hand and asked Mr. Li to hand over the things quickly.

Just hand it over, Mr. Li immediately took out the things behind him and put them all directly in Chu Yunfeng's hands.

As Chu Yunfeng guessed, the first one was a notebook, but when he took the notebook away, he immediately saw something that made Chu Yunfeng ecstatic.

Sure enough, it was a recipe, and it was an old recipe, all related to Sichuan cuisine, and Chu Yunfeng knew clearly that it would be even harder to find these things now.

The number of prints of these recipes is very small, and after a long time, they have long disappeared into the memory of time, and many chefs cannot buy them even if they want to pay high prices.

Apart from anything else, if these cookbooks in Mr. Li's hands were put up for auction, they might be sold for hundreds of thousands.

"Good stuff!"

Chu Yunfeng looked at these old recipes and sincerely let out his own exclamation.

"Oh my God, this is a comprehensive guide to Chengdu. This is a book from the late Qing Dynasty. It is said to be the encyclopedia of Chengdu?
Oh my gosh, you old man even owns this book? "

Chu Yunfeng, the author of this book, has long heard of it, but has never had the opportunity to see it. It is said that there are quite a few Sichuan recipes in this book, which will definitely open your eyes.

Sure enough, Mr. Li immediately nodded and said, "You are right. This book contains 1328 Sichuan dishes, which is the most Sichuan dishes recorded in any book."

"What? 1328 kinds of dishes? Can you cook them all?"

Chu Yunfeng almost drooled. If he learned 1328 kinds of Sichuan cuisine, he would not be able to become the king of Sichuan cuisine. But then he thought about it, could Mr. Li really cook so many dishes?

Mr. Li did not answer Chu Yunfeng's question, but smiled mysteriously.

"This is?" Chu Yunfeng then looked at the book below, and he was very happy again, "This is an introduction to Chengdu's famous snacks printed in [-]?
And it was printed by the Second Commercial Bureau of Chengdu City? "

Chu Yunfeng picked it up and browsed through it. There were many snacks recorded in it, and there were also methods of making them.

This is not over yet, the next book even made Chu Yunfeng exclaim: "The first collection of Sichuan cuisine and Chengcheng snacks in 56?

Or the linear version?

This should be internal information, right?
I'll go, good stuff, good stuff."

Chu Yunfeng's surprise was not over yet. These books seemed to have discovered a new world for him. When he looked at the next two books, he almost jumped up.

"Sichuan pickles? From Light Industry Publishing House? The staples are all rusty. Oh my God, there are a lot of lessons that can be learned from this for making pickles!!!
This, this is the internal information of the technical training class of Rongcheng Catering Company, right?

It turned out to be a reprint in June 64. This one also makes Sichuan pickles, good stuff, really good stuff! "

The kimchi recipe of Guguyan is an ancient method. These two books record some modern techniques for making kimchi. Naturally, there are many improvements to the ancient method.

Moreover, the preparation of some special vegetables also requires some special techniques and spices. For Chu Yunfeng, the expansion of kimchi knowledge will become even broader.

What he discovered next made Chu Yunfeng stunned, because he saw what he had been looking for, which was the internal training materials of the once glorious Rongcheng Catering Company.

It is a technical learning material compiled by the technical training class of Rongcheng Catering Company!
There are five books in total called "Sichuan Recipes", from the first volume to the fifth volume. This is definitely beyond Chu Yunfeng's imagination.

It is said that this set of books is still collected by some people, but there is only a single copy. I have not heard of anyone collecting all five books.

And what depresses Chu Yunfeng the most is that he heard that a master master had a copy in his home. He originally wanted to visit his home and borrow it for a look.

However, when the call came to explain the purpose of the visit, the other party directly denied that he had collected the book, which shows that the other party valued this book.

So Chu Yunfeng kept thinking in his heart, if you didn't collect this book, where did you learn those famous dishes in your hand?

It's not good to expose the other party directly, which made Chu Yunfeng didn't know what to say, and finally hung up after exchanging a few pleasantries.

Seeing the appearance of these five books, Chu Yunfeng almost danced for joy. Mr. Li said with a smile: "These five books contain a total of 225 Sichuan dishes, all of which are the unique skills of famous chefs at that time."

225 dishes?

And they are all unique dishes?
Chu Yunfeng's saliva was really about to flow.
After careful calculation, I found that I currently have less than 50 of the most exquisite traditional Sichuan dishes, and there are 225 here, and maybe half of the dishes I know are not included in them.

Really found a treasure!

"Good stuff, really good stuff. I made a lot of money this time!"

Chu Yunfeng smacked his mouth a few times, as if he was enjoying a delicious meal. He didn't see the teasing look on Mr. Li's mouth.

Seeing that the thing he longed for was right in front of him, Chu Yunfeng quickly opened it to take a look. Once he saw it, he was extremely excited.

Because there are many names of dishes that I have never heard of, and you can know from the names how exquisite and awesome these dishes are.

Bell meat slices!

Is there a bell on it?
Could it be a bell to amuse children?

After thinking about it, I knew it was definitely not the case. Chu Yunfeng quickly looked at the production method introduced and was dumbfounded!

Because the main ingredient of this dish is Chaoshou!

Yes, it’s chaoshou, fry the chaoshou until golden and then cook it, and the taste of this dish is actually lychee flavor.

This sweet and sour taste is definitely the favorite of children and the elderly.

Awesome, awesome, keep watching, keep watching
Sanhe Mud?
What is this?
Just hearing the name Chu Yunfeng, I couldn't figure out what kind of dish it would be.
Baihuajiang Group?

I know how to make a steamed glutinous rice dumpling dish, and the word "baihua" sounds very classy at first glance, so the secret lies in the preparation of "baihua". This dish must be quite amazing.

Eight treasure gourd duck!
I knew Mr. Li could make this dish, but it was a pity that I never had the chance to see what the so-called eight-treasure gourd looked like.
Hot purple dragon?

Saint Seiya?

The first time he saw this dish, Chu Yunfeng's eyes widened. He thought that he must learn this dish first. The name is absolutely popular and will make anyone who sees it want to order it immediately. .

Pine nut meat, goose yellow meat?

Never heard of it, what the hell are these?

Four glass belly?
It’s really made of glass. Is it edible?
Spicy (Yuejun) Song?
Finally, I saw a spicy dish, but just by looking at and hearing the name, can you tell what this dish is made of?

Sashimi chrysanthemum pot?
I have heard of this dish before, but I have never seen anyone make it.

I can't figure out what kind of dish this is. Could it be that I ate a dish that is good for chrysanthemums?
There were many dishes at the back that Chu Yunfeng had never heard of, and he had never even seen them before. However, there was one last book at the back. Chu Yunfeng could only hold back his curiosity and looked at the end. a book.

It's also an internal technical material, and the name is "Internal Learning Materials". It doesn't seem very eye-catching, but looking at the annotations below, Chu Yunfeng couldn't help crying.

"I'll go, is this the best of hundreds of schools of thought?"

The annotation of this book is "Some restaurant dishes and table snacks". As the name suggests, it should be a collection of dishes and snacks collected from some restaurants in the Chengdu area at that time.

This is also the internal material compiled by the technical training class of Rongcheng Catering Company. It was first published in June 63 and republished in October 6.

When Chu Yunfeng was about to look through it, he suddenly thought of the first notebook, so he immediately asked: "Is that notebook in your hand your own notebook, which records the dishes you have learned?" ?”

Facing the "hungry" Chu Yunfeng, Mr. Li smiled and put the notebook in his hand, and then said seriously: "Yes, from today, that is, from this moment on, you will become the restoration master of Sichuan cuisine.

So young man, start working hard.”

and many more!

What is a restoration master?
Could it be that?
Sure enough, after Chu Yunfeng was stunned, Mr. Li immediately explained: "I don't know how to cook most of the dishes in these recipes, so it's up to you to recreate them.

Don’t forget, you promised me just now that you would master all the dishes above. I’m optimistic about you, so go for it! "

As soon as Mr. Li finished speaking, Chu Yunfeng was dumbfounded and knew that he had fallen into the biggest pit in history.
