gourmet food

Chapter 1247

The person who reacted the fastest was Master Lin. When he saw the spinach dumplings, steamed twice-cooked pork, fish rolls in clear soup and glass squid, he was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

These, these dishes.
And this, this dish should be the lamb tails sticky with sugar. These dishes were all made by my own chef in the past, but they were not passed down back then.

At that time, I was still young and ranked fifth among the masters. The four senior brothers in front of me started much earlier than me, but even so, they could not pass down all the skills of their master.

Over the years, the senior brothers have been working hard to recall the scenes of the master's cooking, and wanted to restore some of the dishes that the master valued so much.

But at that time, it was difficult to make these dishes, and the master usually did not teach much. He always had to wait until the brothers performed well before teaching.

It's a pity that the master passed away early, and many of these dishes were not passed down. It has to be said to be a pity. In order to restore the master's dishes, the brothers spent almost 30 years of hard work.

But in the end, it was only one or two restorations, but in the end, I found that the taste seemed to be a bit different from the previous master's, and the shape was not up to the master's standard.

This has already announced the failure of the recovery, which has always made all the senior brothers brood. Whenever they talk about this matter at gatherings, they sigh and regret that they could not ask their master to teach them more.

My recollection of these dishes was not very deep, and I wanted to imitate my brothers in restoring them, but in the end I found that my ability to restore them was not as good as my brothers, which made me feel helpless in the end.

But today, after the dish was served just now, I almost didn't let myself think that the master was resurrected?
This dish turned out to be exactly the same as the one made by the chef back then, and what I couldn't believe the most was that after so many years, this fragrance actually resonated with me.

Because the aroma is exactly the same as back then, can you imagine how deeply these dishes left a deep impression on me?

The waiter’s dishes were still being served, but Master Lin’s phone number could not wait to be dialed: “Senior Brother, Senior Brother, book the fastest flight to Chengdu immediately.

It must be the fastest plane, come quickly! ! ! "

???

A very noisy voice could obviously be heard on the other end of the phone. It was obviously the senior brother Master Lin was talking about who was still cooking on the stove.

After receiving this somewhat inexplicable call from Master Lin, Senior Brother Fang Dazhong frowned and naturally asked immediately: "What happened?

Is someone in Chengdu threatening you?

Do you want me to take it with you?"

What is this about?

Are you planning to bring your brothers and sisters here to save you?

Master Lin quickly interrupted: "Cooking, the dishes made by the master have appeared in Chengdu. I will send you the photos later. Hurry up and buy a plane ticket and come here right away!"
speed!

Hurry up! "

When Master Lin said it at the end, he almost yelled. This made the monkey sitting at the table next to him suddenly "go crazy" when he saw the master at the main table. He almost climbed up the tree without being frightened.
Master Lin was not the only one who experienced abnormalities at the main table, even Mr. Che was quite excited.

His fingers began to tremble as he pointed at the dishes that were already on the table.

“Is this, is this glutinous rice chicken? I haven’t seen this dish in almost 40 years!
Also, this should be the spinal cord of longan, right?I remember that I was amazed when I tasted this dish. The unique taste still makes me remember it deeply!
This, this, these are all dishes from a long time ago. Almost no one knows how to cook these dishes now. How come there are so many of them at once? "

Mr. Che's words suddenly caused a shocking wave in the heart of Wanlao, who was sitting next to Mr. Li. He immediately turned around and stared at Mr. Li with an extremely incredulous look.

Wan Lao's lips moved, and he wanted to ask several times, but in the end he endured it. After the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them out.

But the hand placed under the table moved unnaturally on his thigh, obviously feeling a little anxious.

Aren't these the same dishes that are served at the Manchu-Han Banquet?

The Chengdu version?
Let me go, Old Man Li, what are you planning to do?

Looking at Mr. Li with a calm face, Wan Lao speculated on his true inner thoughts, but no matter how hard he stared, he couldn't seem to see through it at all.
As soon as Mr. Che finished speaking, the old men sitting next to him suddenly became less calm.

"Is this really dry-steamed twice-cooked pork? It is said that this dish has a very different flavor from our usual twice-cooked pork?"

"I just heard about it. A friend who tried it told me that the taste of dry-steamed twice-cooked pork is definitely several times better than ordinary twice-cooked pork. I still don't believe it."

"I seem to have vaguely heard of these dishes, but I have only seen one or two of them back then, and I haven't seen anyone making them in so many years? How on earth are these dishes made?"

"It's rare. This is really rare. The reappearance of these dishes is a milestone in the history of our Sichuan cuisine culture. I have to call the reporters over immediately and ask them to report this matter properly.

This matter cannot be sloppy, this is super big news in the Sichuan cuisine industry, enough to shock all practitioners. "

"I have to tell my senior brother quickly. Every time I have a gathering with him, he will talk to me about the glory of these dishes back then, but every time he sighs that these dishes have not been passed down.

No, I have to pick him up quickly. He will definitely be very happy to see these dishes. "

The old men at the main table had different reactions. Some were on the phone, while others stood up and walked outside. Everyone showed a very urgent mood.

When it comes to the most exciting, I am afraid it still belongs to Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai. The main reason is that the current Chenghua pigs have not been raised well, and this pig breed is reluctant to eat, so I have been very depressed.

After complaining many times, Chu Yunfeng really couldn't stand it anymore, and finally agreed to make a different twice-cooked pork for them to try.

So we have this traditional dry-steamed twice-cooked pork, but the pork is also carefully selected, so as not to ruin the soul of this dish.

So when this dry-steamed twice-cooked pork was served, the two of them immediately smelled a very different aroma than before. It was an aroma with the aroma of wine lees, and almost didn't allow anyone to grab the plate directly.

The most important step in making this dry-steamed twice-cooked pork is to add fermented glutinous rice for steaming. The oldest method is to wrap the meat with kraft paper and steam it. This will allow the aroma of fermented fermented glutinous rice to penetrate into the meat, and the aroma will naturally be extraordinary. .

However, the dishes haven't been served yet, and the main table hasn't spoken yet. It's obvious that they can't eat it, and the saliva of the two people almost flows from the corners of their eyes because of their dissatisfaction.
However, the eagerness of these two people is a bit out of tune with the people around them. The people sitting next to Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai are some young chefs. At this time, they saw them pick up the phone and make non-stop calls.

"Brother, do you know that I saw the pine nut meat you mentioned before? Didn't you brag to me before about how awesome your master was? I'm about to start tasting it."

"Brother, let me confirm something for you. Are you sure your master said that no one will cook this goose-yellow pork now? But why did I see this dish again today?

What, don't you believe me?

I'll take a photo for you right away! "

“I’m sure the dish I saw is glass squid. After working as a chef for so many years, can’t I recognize this squid?
Nonsense, it must be transparent, otherwise why would it be called a glass squid?
Didn’t you brag to me before that no one knows how to cook this dish?But I saw it today?
I lied to you that it was a puppy, I will send it to you right away! "

What is strange is that all the young chefs here are very excited, as if they saw some miracle, they kept taking pictures and making phone calls.

The table that was originally the calmest was Peng Yue's. These seven people sat together with some young chefs. After seeing their actions, they all felt a little funny in their hearts.

This is obviously an inexperienced look. I have seen it in the kitchen before, so there is nothing strange about it. It is just more exquisite than most dishes.

However, when I looked at it alone in the kitchen just now, I wasn't too impressed, but after it was put on the table, I suddenly realized that it was quite extraordinary.

So these seven people couldn't help but take a family photo of all the eighteen dishes on the table. After thinking about it, these seven people sent the photo through Moments.

In fact, the serving time was less than 3 minutes. When all eighteen dishes were placed on the table, everyone discovered the abnormalities at every table.

The most calm table should belong to the suppliers, but they clearly saw the rest of the people were not calm, so everyone looked at each other, but they didn't quite understand what it meant.

But it didn't stop them from being amazed by the entire table of dishes. After all, these eighteen dishes with exquisite shapes and incomparable presentation were absolutely pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, the aroma exuded by these dishes has already aroused everyone's appetite, but before it is time to start, they feel a little anxious.

So the circle of friends started to take off, and the tense that followed was beyond everyone's imagination.
Although Mr. Li was sitting at the main table calmly and seemed like a normal person, the strange movements in the entire hall could not be hidden from his eyes.

Especially people like Master Lin are so excited. It seems that he is a sensible person. At this time, the call has been made to the third senior brother. There should be the last fourth senior brother left who has not been notified.

Ah~!

It seems that Xiao Chu is busy again tonight. I wonder if his wedding photo shoot will be delayed tomorrow?
Both President Hou and President Xiong were still sitting still and remained silent. President Xiong quietly looked at President Hou from time to time and found that his expression was as usual.

But after all the dishes were served, President Xiong couldn't bear it anymore, and quietly pushed him
In fact, President Hou's heart was astonished. The appearance of these dishes is of extremely great significance to Sichuan cuisine, which is much more important than those traditional Sichuan dishes.

Most of the traditional Sichuan dishes were served to the top class of people, but even ordinary people can have a look at these old Sichuan dishes.

It’s just that there are not many opportunities. These dishes have extraordinary significance for the development of Sichuan cuisine and the tracing of history and culture, but you still need to wait and see again!

It's a bit unusual for Wan Lao to suddenly appear here, and Lao Li to come suddenly. This in itself is a huge problem, so it's not advisable to act rashly until the situation is understood.

The food was already on the table, and according to the routine, it was time to start the banquet. After Chu Yunfeng made arrangements in the kitchen, he and Mu Qing walked into the banquet hall.

"I'm coming!"

After seeing Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing come in, everyone here had different thoughts. They all lowered their voices on the phone, and some apologized and hung up the phone directly.

"It's rare to invite you all to come over and taste the new dishes today. A total of eighteen dishes have been served, so let Mr. Li announce the start of the banquet!"

These dishes are all closely related to Mr. Li, and since he is his actual master, it is naturally appropriate for him to speak.

Mr. Li glanced at Wan Lao next to him calmly. It was very hidden and basically no one could detect it. At this time, Wan Lao seemed very nervous when he saw him.

"Okay, the dishes are already on the table, so there's nothing more to say, let's just start."

"Let's start." Before these three words were uttered, Wan Lao interrupted: "Wait a minute, tell me first, are these dishes the representative dishes of the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet!"

???

Wan Lao's voice was very loud, and naturally all the people present could hear it very clearly. After hearing this, many people were stunned.

Then everyone looked at each other, and they all had extreme doubts in their hearts. Did you hear it correctly just now?
Although the old man sitting next to Mr. Li didn't know who it was, his identity must be extraordinary to be able to sit in that position. He was definitely a person with the same status as Mr. Li.

And what exactly did he mean by the Manchu-Han banquet?
And the most important thing is, he seemed to have just talked about the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet?
Yes, I heard it right, definitely not wrong!
So the question is, when did Chengdu still have Manchu and Han banquets?

Faced with Wan Lao's sudden "interruption", Mr. Li seemed unwilling to pay attention to him, so he started to wave his hands and said: "The dishes are on the table, let's start."

Mr. Li's words were interrupted again: "Old man Li, don't pretend to be stupid with me. Have you restored all the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet?"

hiss~!

Wan Lao once again said something shocking, which shocked everyone present.
"I'm going, I heard it right just now, right? Are you talking about the banquet of the Han Dynasty?"

"What's going on? Do we also have Manchu and Han banquets in Chengdu?"

"Oh my god, what did I hear? Is it true?"

"Oh my God, is this what I can hear?"

"It's worth it. This is definitely a secret in the world of Sichuan cuisine. Do we also have Manchu and Han banquets in Sichuan cuisine?"

Many people at the rest of the tables had already stood up. Not many people could remain calm after hearing this, but Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai almost cried.

The two of them had picked up their chopsticks just now, and they were just waiting for Mr. Li to say something. Will they be able to eat the pot of meat immediately this time?
But why was this old man sitting next to him so hateful? He interrupted his opportunity to taste delicious food twice. You know, my aunts and grandmothers haven't had much good food during this time! ! !

But before Mr. Li could answer Wan Lao's words, everyone's phones in the hall began to ring one by one.

"Hey, hey, hey, is what you just posted on WeChat true? Where are you?"

"I'm going, buddy, you don't know that my master just exploded. I showed him Moments and almost gave him a heart attack."

"Brother, brother, where are you? My master just saw the photo of my circle of friends in the kitchen and said that he wants me to contact you immediately. He wants to come directly. Please help me quickly!!!"

The phone calls came one after another, and even Peng Yue and the seven of them received the call.

"What, master, are you coming over?"

The seven people responded in surprise, and then they looked at each other, and their eyes became serious.

Chu Yunfeng seems to be playing too big this time.
