Chapter 1237 Manchurian Feast?

Zhao Tianhao followed behind and saw that these two old people were like children, which completely refreshed his understanding of the seniors.

Especially his master, who usually has a prim and serious look no matter who he faces, but when he comes to Mr. Li, he seems to be a different person.

Not only did he have a smile on his face, but he also felt much gentler when he spoke, no longer as harsh as before. Is this still his master?

"Come in, what are you doing standing there?"

Seeing that Zhao Tianhao was still standing at the door in a daze, Aunt Zhang immediately reminded him with a smile.

"Oh, okay, thank you, here you go!"

Only then did Zhao Tianhao react and walked in quickly, wanting to see what his master and Mr. Li would talk about.
This time, my master's visit was a bit strange. He was supposed to come alone because he received the call from Chu Yunfeng to invite him.

At that time, his master heard it. When he heard that Chu Yunfeng invited him to come over to taste the food, the old man thought for a while and said that he would come with him.

At that time, I thought I had heard wrong. My master was an absolute homebody. He had not left the capital for 30 or [-] years. The thing he was most reluctant to leave was Wanjia Cuisine.

But today is so unusual. Chu Yunfeng invited him, so why did he follow him to join in the fun?

But he couldn't object, and the objection was ineffective, so he put himself and his master on the plane under the surprised eyes of all the brothers, uncles and others.

It wasn't until after getting on the plane that the master told him to visit Mr. Li first, and then go to Chu Yunfeng's place to taste the food.

As soon as he heard this, he immediately knew that what the master had come with was not that simple. He must have something important to discuss with Mr. Li, but why didn't the two of them talk about it on the phone?

There is also a very strange thing. These two people don't seem to have much contact on the phone, but once they met, they became very cordial, which was a bit confusing.

Mr. Li excitedly pulled Wanlao towards the direction of the bamboo forest. In fact, as soon as he entered the door, he could see the dense bamboo forest in the backyard, which looked very artistic as it swayed in the breeze.

After getting closer, Wan Lao broke away from Lao Li's pull and said with a hint of jealousy: "Hey, Old Man Li, you've had a pretty comfortable life this day.

This bamboo forest is quite elegant, you still have everything here, enjoying the cold and drinking tea leisurely on this reclining chair every day, how pleasant is it? "

Seeing the envious look in Wan Lao's eyes, Li Lao laughed and said: "Don't fool me, Xiao Chu told me after he came back from the capital, you are not bad at all!

Your little yard is much better decorated than mine. Just one or two of those flowers and plants are enough to buy my yard.

Are you still being pretentious with me? "

???

Zhao Tianhao never expected that the conversation between these two people would be like this?

It seems that these two old men are naturally at odds with each other, and they like to hate each other when they meet?

In response to Mr. Li's response, Wan Lao had an unwavering expression on his face. After humming twice, he lay down directly on Mr. Li's rocking chair, and then started rocking with his eyes closed.

How relaxing?

hiss~!

Zhao Tianhao really wanted to remind his master aloud, isn't this a bit overwhelming?
Didn't the master always teach me to know etiquette?

This is at someone else's house. This seems to be Mr. Li's favorite way to relax. You just lay down on it. Does Mr. Li have any objection?
He originally wanted to help his master explain, but before he could speak, Mr. Li smiled and said: "That Xiao Zhang, go to my room and take out the can of tea that Xiao Chu sent.

By the way, bring a pot of the mountain spring water that Xiao Chu sent over, so that old man Wan can taste the taste of our tea. "

"Okay, come right away!"

Aunt Zhang finally understood that Mr. Li was a distinguished guest. Usually he was not willing to drink this tea, but as soon as the guest came today, he would take it out to entertain the guest.

It also specified that mountain spring water should be used, which shows that Mr. Li attaches great importance to these two guests.

Before Aunt Zhang could take two steps, Wan Lao's eyes immediately opened and he said with a hint of sarcasm: "As expected, he is indeed your favorite disciple. All the good things in this family are filial to him.

Don't tell me, the wine made by your apprentice is really excellent. If I hadn't accidentally opened one of the bottles of wine you gave me, I would have been reluctant to drink it! "

Seeing the sourness in Wan Lao's words, Mr. Li immediately laughed: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Chu is not my apprentice, don't slander my reputation!"

Knowing that Mr. Li would not admit it, Wan Lao immediately snorted and said: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but I can see that this Xiao Chu is really not an ordinary person.

The last time I came back to the capital, I was so impressed. I didn't expect you, old guy, to be so lucky. Being able to meet such a talented disciple is considered your luck in eight lifetimes. "

This time, Mr. Li did not refute, but stroked his mustache with his hand, seeming to enjoy Wan Lao's jealousy.

Zhao Tianhao stood aside and was very hurt. Who did he offend? To be so despised by his master? What does this mean? I usually don't respect you properly, do I?

Brother Chu is indeed powerful, and I am far behind him, but you can't hit your apprentice like this in person, can you?
"Hahaha, the tea is here. Let you try the special tea here. The aftertaste is very long."

After Aunt Zhang delivered the tea and mountain spring water, Mr. Li immediately started cleaning the tea set on the table. This picture looked very interesting.

It was like Wan Lao was the master here, and Li Lao was like a guest, which made Zhao Tianhao feel that his master was too shameless?
However, these are two old seniors. Even if they have some inner dissatisfaction, they still dare not comment on the way these two get along.

"This is your apprentice? His name is Zhao Tianhao, right?
Come, come, sit down and drink tea! "

After the tea was soaked, Mr. Li first added some to Wan Lao's cup, then added a little to himself, and finally poured some to another empty cup.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, I won't sit down!"

The old seniors are here, how can I be on an equal footing with them?
However, Wan Lao glanced over and nodded at Zhao Tianhao, while Li Lao just smiled and said nothing.

can i sit?
So Zhao Tianhao immediately bowed to Mr. Li and said: "Thank you Mr. Li, then I would rather obey your order than be respectful."

puff~!

Seeing Zhao Tianhao's actions, Mr. Li immediately laughed: "Old man Wan, your method of educating disciples has not changed for decades, right?
What age are we in now, why do we still pay attention to these false etiquette? "

Although Mr. Li also adheres to tradition, after all, society is changing, and some false etiquette is no longer suitable for the development of the times, so it is okay to make some changes.

And people like Zhao Tianhao, although they feel very polite, but for young people, they are a little less energetic.

In response to Mr. Li's complaints, Wan Lao picked up his tea cup and said indifferently: "Etiquette is etiquette. It is passed down by the master. I will teach my apprentice whatever I have learned. What's the problem with this?"

Mr. Li smiled and shook his head and said nothing more.

In fact, it's not that there is anything wrong with Zhao Tianhao following this old tradition, but under normal circumstances, there is no need to continue to "hold on" like this, and young people should be more energetic.

If you don’t follow the ancient worship masters, then no one needs to remind you about the etiquette of worshiping masters. Mr. Li himself is very strict, but it is really not necessary in life.

“Good tea!”

Wan Laocai took a gentle sip and immediately praised it, then closed his eyes and tasted it slowly.

Zhao Tianhao waited until his master and Mr. Li had tasted it, then reached out to pick up the tea cup, gestured to Wan Lao, and then did the same to Mr. Li.

Then he started to bring it to his mouth and tasted it gently.

It is indeed good tea!
Wan Lao loves to drink tea very much, so it works from top to bottom. Every apprentice of Wanjiacai has a good taste for tea, so the tea soup feels extraordinary just as soon as he tastes it.

The tea leaves have a slightly bitter taste, but more of a refreshing taste, which instantly makes people feel refreshed.

Especially after entering the throat, it will make people feel more lingering aftertaste, and there is also a kind of concentration effect, which is really extraordinary!

"What's the name of this tea?"

After Wan Lao slowly finished tasting the tea in his cup, he gently placed the cup back on the table and immediately began to ask questions.

"Silver tip!"

Mr. Li answered casually. This tea seems to have been given to Chu Yunfeng by Yang Ming. It is tea from the high altitude of PZH, and the output is not large.

Yang Ming also began to find a mist-shrouded mountain in Futian Town and began to plant tea trees. In a year or two, the supply will begin, which is definitely quite good.

"Not bad, not bad, get me some when you leave!"

As soon as Wan Lao said these words, Zhao Tianhao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. His master's face was really big, which made him feel embarrassed.

This time when I came to visit Mr. Li, I told him to buy something on the way, but my master didn't listen at all, saying that it was not necessary.

Good guy, if you don’t take this thing with you, you still have to pick up something before leaving. Isn’t this too embarrassing?
But Mr. Li seemed to have a bright light in his eyes, and he immediately said with a half-smile: "I'm fine, but are you willing to take it away?"

Zhao Tianhao's face immediately turned red. He lowered his head and looked at his master quietly, only to see that he had no shame at all. Instead, he smiled broadly.

what's going on?
Are you dazzled?

"Compared to the purpose of my coming here this time, what are these little things?

When do we need to be so polite? "

Wan Lao seems to have something to say?
As soon as he finished saying this, the smile on Mr. Li's face stopped, and the expression he looked at Wan Lao began to become a little serious and weird, and then he even narrowed his eyes.

"I knew it wasn't that simple for you to come over. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Mr. Li quickly returned to his normal expression, pretending not to care and added tea to Wan Lao and Zhao Tianhao's teacups, waiting for Wan Lao to reveal the answer to the mystery.

However, Wan Lao didn't seem to want to get straight to the point right away. Instead, he tasted the tea in the cup leisurely one after another. The atmosphere at the scene was a bit subtle.

Mr. Li didn't seem to be in a hurry. He didn't say anything and just refilled everyone's cups one cup at a time. Later, Zhao Tianhao simply kept holding the cup in his hand. He was really embarrassed to refill the cup.
It wasn't until the tea had been brewed for three times that Wan Lao took a deep breath and said, "Tianhao, rest aside for a while."

The meaning of these words was too obvious, just to let Zhao Tianhao avoid it. He and Mr. Li were about to discuss important matters. Zhao Tianhao understood this instantly, stood up, saluted the two of them, and ran directly behind the bamboo forest.

"Haha~!" Mr. Li smiled knowingly and looked at Wan Lao with a smile, wanting to hear what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

In fact, for Wan Lao's sudden arrival, Mr. Li also guessed that there must be something important. Otherwise, an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years and who never went out would make an exception. No one would believe him if he said it was nothing important. of.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, and I didn't want to hide it from you, so I'll get straight to the point!
Today's catering is developing so fast that many traditional things are almost lost, don't you have any ideas? "

idea?

Mr. Li secretly thought to himself, "Old Fox", he said he was straight to the point, but this time he opened his mouth to criticize himself, why is he still having so much trouble talking at this old age?

Do you not just have ideas?
Wasn't Chu Yunfeng trained by himself?

Especially during this period, Chu Yunfeng restored Sichuan cuisine very quickly, which made him feel extremely happy every day. He had already seen the hope of Sichuan cuisine's imminent revival.

The most important thing is that once Chu Yunfeng's chef training school is established and all these things are taught, once a new generation of Sichuan chefs grow up, they will definitely usher in new glory.

As for what Old Man Wan said about the Yunshan Mist Cover, I guess he has little interest in it either.

After Wan Lao finished speaking, he kept staring at Lao Li's expression, but found that he seemed to be gradually ignoring him, as if he had an indifferent attitude towards his hidden meaning?

This is too strange, right?
This made Wan Lao lose his composure, so he immediately snorted and said: "It seems that you are really not interested, so forget it, I will find someone else to attend the Manchu Banquet!"

hiss~!

Mr. Li, who was originally enjoying himself in a leisurely manner, was instantly shocked. As soon as he picked up the tea cup, it shook in his hand and splashed the tea on the table.

Hehe~!

Wan Lao instantly pursed his lips, shook his head and laughed, it seems that this old Li miscalculated, do you still care now?
"What did you say? What kind of banquet?"

Pretending to understand and pretending to be confused, Mr. Li hadn't yet figured out what Wan Lao meant, so he started to be careless and pretended not to understand what he meant.

But there was no point in hiding it like this, so Wan Lao showed his cards directly: "Okay, stop pretending to me, it's a full banquet!

How about it, do you still want this Manchu-Han banquet to reappear in front of the world? "

Full Manchu?

This once the most glorious full-feast banquet really gathered the essence of ancient Chinese civilization, but the recipes of many dishes have long been lost.

The ingredients of some of the dishes have disappeared, and other parts have also been insured, but even so, its former glory has made Chinese people yearn for it.

It can be said that anyone who knows a little bit about Chinese catering will know the meaning of the four words "Han-Manchu banquet".

"How to say?"

After Mr. Li thought for a while, he only said these three words!
"Cooperation!"

The meaning of Wan Lao's words is obvious, but it also carries a very strange flavor. Why does the Manchu-Han Banquet need to cooperate with Mr. Li?
