gourmet food

Chapter 1257
Wan Lao didn't seem to be willing to leave yet, his lips moved a couple of times, and finally put away the words that came to his lips.

Then he glanced at Mr. Li who was still drinking tea leisurely, turned his head and sighed silently, and then followed Mu Qing out of the private room.

And now the hall outside was in a mess. Mu Qing didn't know if Chu Yunfeng's plan for President Xiong and President Hou would work, so she could only wait a little longer.

There is also the matter of flying away tonight. I don’t know if there will be any changes, but all this will have to wait until Chu Yunfeng and Mr. Li have finished discussing it.

The conversation between the two at this moment was definitely very crucial, so Mu Qing gently closed the door tightly before leaving so that no one would disturb them.

"Mr. Li, this is today."

Knowing that Chu Yunfeng had many questions to ask, Mr. Li immediately raised his hand, ready to tell him everything.

"I know what you want to ask, don't worry, I'll tell you everything directly!"

Mr. Li's words made Chu Yunfeng nod happily. Since he said so, some secrets that cannot be told to Wan Lao will naturally be revealed to him.

However, Mr. Li did not start talking immediately, but looked at the memory, and after more than a minute, he slowly said: "Back then, I didn't know how precious these dishes were.

In fact, this Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han Banquet does not have specific dishes. It also follows the changes of the seasons and the actual situation of the banquet, and introduces a series of appropriate dishes.

Master Guan Zhengxing, who had hosted a Manchu-Han banquet in the capital at that time, combined with the local characteristics of Chengdu, creatively created the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet.

The format of this Manchu-Han banquet is naturally similar to the one in Beijing, but the selection of dishes has the rich local characteristics and flavor of Chengdu.

However, Master Guan did not host this Manchu-Han banquet many times back then. Master Lan said it was only three times, which also allowed Master Lan to learn a lot from Master Guan.

It's just that Master Lan was not very old at that time, and he hadn't studied cooking for too long, but his talent was indeed very high, so he still had a rough grasp of some dishes.

However, he never had the opportunity to practice it again, and as time went by and Sichuan cuisine began to decline, he remembered to restore these dishes.

It's a pity that the time is indeed too long, so long that he has forgotten a lot of dishes, and he has also forgotten a lot of recipes for some dishes.

But fortunately, he liked to take notes when he was an apprentice. Especially after helping Master Guan prepare the Manchu-Han Banquet for the third time, he recorded the names of the dishes he made for the last time.

That’s why I learned the names of the 65 dishes of the Chengdu version of the Manchu-Hanban Banquet. However, among the 65 dishes, Master Lan could only restore more than 20 dishes.

Even if the rest of the dishes can be roughly made, the taste and texture are far from enough.

But when he was recovering, he might have had some thoughts that he could let me watch from the sidelines, maybe thinking that I could continue this glory.

But I was still young back then, and I didn’t learn cooking for long. After all these years, when I had the same idea as Master Lan, I realized that it was too late.

This Master Lan was able to restore more than 20 dishes back then, but I could only restore less than ten dishes, so for more than ten years, I have been feeling uncomfortable."

Mr. Li sighed as he spoke. In the end, his eyes turned red and he couldn't help but shed tears. Chu Yunfeng quickly handed him the tissue.

"I understand, it's pretty much what I guessed before. That's why you made the condition to Wan Lao and let us designate the dishes, just to learn from the techniques of the dishes, right?

After all, the dishes of the Rongcheng version still draw on many characteristics of the Beijing version, so it is inevitable that the techniques of the Beijing version will be used in the production of some dishes.

So when a specific dish cannot be restored, as long as the production techniques of the Beijing version are used for reference, it will be much easier to restore the Chengcheng version of the dish, right? "

This is the only reasonable explanation that Chu Yunfeng can think of when Mr. Li insists on raising this condition. This is also the experience gained from restoring dishes with Mr. Li before.

When I was restoring a dish before, like the Sichuan dish of fish fillet with fermented lees, I felt that there were still some problems with the technique, but I could never find the problem.

So he learned from the recipe of braised fish slices and improved the production method. Mr. Li immediately noticed that the taste had been restored to 100%.

This situation is common, so Chu Yunfeng also has a deep understanding of the inclusive development of Sichuan cuisine, and naturally thinks of Mr. Li's countermeasures.

Sure enough, Mr. Li looked at Chu Yunfeng with joy on his face and nodded with relief: "That's right. In this case, we only need to absorb the dishes they know how to cook first, which is equivalent to More than half done.

After applying the absorption techniques to the restoration of dishes, we will continue to exchange the restored dishes with them. In this way, we can learn all the dishes they know! "

This is definitely the only way to steal the sky and change the sun. Unexpectedly, Wanlao and the others could not imagine that there would be such an exquisite design in the world. Even if they broke the sky, they would not be able to guess it.

However, Chu Yunfeng was still worried about one thing. He frowned slightly and said, "But Wan Lao also mentioned that it will be written in black and white at that time. What if some dishes cannot be copied from theirs?"

Chu Yunfeng's worry is not unreasonable. Not all food preparation techniques can be borrowed from others. In this case, if there are not enough dishes here, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Haha~!

Mr. Li laughed immediately, pointed at Chu Yunfeng and said with a smile: "You, this is a fan of the authorities. Didn't I say it at the beginning? This Chengdu version of the Manchu-Han banquet can be changed at will.

Who said this menu can only consist of these 65 dishes? "

hiss~!

Chu Yunfeng immediately understood the meaning of Old Li's words after waking up the man in his dream. Seeing him smiling proudly, shaking his head while holding the tea cup and drinking happily, he felt a little depressed.

But he immediately became more excited and asked passionately: "You mean, those traditional Sichuan dishes I learned before are also included in it?
Oh, and of course these old Sichuan dishes should also be counted. As long as they are not common popular dishes nowadays, then it’s okay, right? "

If this is the case, Chu Yunfeng is a little worried about Wan Lao and the others. He now knows hundreds of old Sichuan dishes. If the quantity is really compared, they may have to vomit blood.
However, Mr. Li pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Old Sichuan food is still a little bit inferior. Not all old Sichuan food is good. Wan Lao and the others still know the goods.

But some more refined old Sichuan dishes are fine, and we can’t go too far. Anyway, we can squeeze out all the dishes they know. "

Mr. Li's words were strongly recognized by Chu Yunfeng, so he immediately added: "And their defective dishes cannot be let go!"

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's eyes gleaming with light, Mr. Li couldn't stop laughing: "You, you"

Chu Yunfeng also laughed with a heartless "hehe" and poured tea for Mr. Li. He was also thinking in his heart that if Wan Lao and the others didn't have enough dishes for the Manchu-Han banquet, they would use other dishes to make up for it.

There are many dishes in this Wanjia cuisine that are quite exquisite, and the rest of the bosses must have their own unique skills in the bottom of the box. When the time comes, I will spit them all out, and then I will be prosperous.
After Chu Yunfeng thought of this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He was so excited that he wanted to fly to the capital to learn those extremely exquisite dishes.

"Okay, okay, again, don't always think about making those high-end dishes. These basic skills are the most important. You can't slack off after arriving in the capital.

It just so happens that I'm going to follow you this time, and the daily exercise time cannot be less. I'm also going to start giving you new training programs, so you have to be mentally prepared.

Okay, that’s it!There are a lot of things going on outside, so you should deal with them as soon as possible, so as not to affect the wedding in a few days and your time to report to the capital.

Don't worry about me, I'll stay in the hotel tonight and go back early tomorrow morning! "

I drank a lot with Wan Lao tonight, and my head is a little dizzy. In addition, I won't have any leisure time after this, so Mr. Li naturally doesn't plan to leave.

So Chu Yunfeng called Mu Qing and asked someone to take Mr. Li to rest, while he immediately rushed to the banquet hall to explain to Peng Yue and the others.

He had to leave tonight, but Peng Yue and his other masters were all coming over. It would be too rude for him to just leave without saying a word.

But when he was about to reach the lobby, he saw Mu Qing calling at the door, with a trace of anxiety on her face, and urgently giving instructions on the phone. Could something have happened?

Seeing Chu Yunfeng pat her shoulder, Mu Qing calmed down a bit, but the tone of her instructions was still rather hasty. Chu Yunfeng only heard, "Hurry up and arrange for people to evacuate, there must be no safety accidents." Hang up.

"what happened?"

Chu Yunfeng, who didn't know what was going on, scratched his head. Seeing Mu Qing's unhappy look, he knew that this matter must have something to do with him. Sure enough, Mu Qing immediately got angry at himself.

"There are a lot of reporters here. Not only is the lobby crowded with people, but there are also more and more people outside the hotel, especially in the lobby. It has affected the arrival of hotel guests, and we have received a lot of complaint calls!"

Fortunately, the hotel has a lot of people, but it is impossible to maintain normal order. The whole hall is in chaos, and it is useless to persuade.

"Where are President Xiong and President Hou? Didn't they convince those people?"

Chu Yunfeng remembered that he had asked the two presidents to come forward and tell everyone that these dishes were only a dozen or so restored, and they were still the work of Mr. Li.

This is also the result of Mr. Li's recovery from being immersed in Sichuan cuisine for many years, so you don't have to come here anymore, there are only so many dishes at Xingchen Club.

It is expected that with the two presidents coming forward to explain, everyone will feel a little more at ease, and Xingchen will not be too defensive.

But Mu Qing replied angrily: "Thanks to your good idea, these two presidents followed your words, which made them even more disbelieving.

Moreover, they have to ask the two presidents to work together to discuss cooperation with Xingchen. Each family will produce a dish and exchange these dishes with Xingchen.

People stand on the moral high ground and say that this is for the prosperity of Sichuan cuisine, and these exquisite old dishes cannot be carried forward. This is a pity for all chefs in the Sichuan cuisine world!
This is trying to steal from others in a different way. If the president didn't come forward, it would be best for us to refuse. If we say we don't want to change, we won't change. If we say no, we won't.

But now people are using the development prospects of the industry to put the two presidents on the fire. Why doesn't this make them depressed?
So at this moment, not only did the two of them not persuade people to leave, but they were stranded in the hall to listen to everyone's great truth! "

After hearing Mu Qing's words, Chu Yunfeng was stunned. He really didn't expect that some people could be so shameless. Isn't this too shameless?

After thinking about it, Chu Yunfeng frowned and said, "Isn't it that there are many seniors here? Is this their opinion?"

Chu Yunfeng secretly thought that the older generation should not do this. After all, the older generation still has some ethics, but they just don't know how the wind blew?

Mu Qing also heard the meaning of Chu Yunfeng's words, so she immediately picked up her mobile phone and called the hall to learn more about the specific situation.

While Mu Qing was asking, Chu Yunfeng walked into the hall, and immediately saw seven people standing up from the table and rushing over.

"I'll go, you're finally back, don't run away!"

"Yes, yes, you can't run away, or I will suffer!"

"Brother Chu, please give me some face. Don't leave. The old man gave me a death order, saying that I had to live to see someone. You know what that means."

Seeing these seven people, I wanted to tie myself up, and Beibei's words made my hair stand on end. Are all the masters of Hunan cuisine so cruel?

Live or die?

For his seven little friends, Chu Yunfeng naturally wouldn't turn around and run away, so everyone saw him so relaxed, and they were embarrassed to catch him after rushing over.

"What do you mean? Let me explain clearly first. What are you masters doing here?"

Chu Yunfeng really didn't understand. Even if people from the Sichuan cuisine world came over, what would happen if the other master chefs from the seven major cuisines came over?

The others all shook their heads to express their ignorance, and Song Shaochen even said doubtfully: "I'm not sure, anyway, my master has never spoken in such a serious tone.

It is said that it was the result of a discussion between the seven of them. I came here this time to see you. If I let you go, I will bear the consequences. "

This statement was echoed by others, and everyone nodded in agreement. It seemed that these seven masters were "unkind"!

However, Chu Yunfeng saw that the expressions of Peng Yue and Wu Junjie were different from others, and he probably knew something.

"Tell me, you two, what do you know? You can't come here with so much force. It's impossible to say there's nothing wrong, right?"

Seeing Chu Yunfeng staring at him, Wu Junjie knew that he had been seen through, but he did not want to hide it and immediately said: "Although my master didn't say anything, my junior brother heard it.

He had called Peng Yue's master before, and after chatting for a while, he started calling several other masters. I'm afraid this was the reason why so many people came together. "

Wang Ziqiang?
What the hell is this old guy doing?

"Peng Yue, what did Master Wang tell your master?"

Chu Yunfeng still respected Mr. Ji, but he was curious about why they didn't call him directly if they came here in such a hurry?
Peng Yue looked aggrieved and said with a frown: "My master didn't tell me either, but I heard from my senior brother that he mentioned the word "recovery" when he called me. I don't know if this is related to this. ?”

recovery?

Chu Yunfeng pondered, and gradually had some thoughts in his heart, but he was not sure, so he could only sigh silently.

It seems that the interior of each cuisine is not peaceful. When the restored Sichuan cuisine comes out, it is really quiet but the wind is not stopping. It must not be so easy for the master chefs of these seven major cuisines to come.

Just when Chu Yunfeng was thinking about how to tell them that he was evacuating, Mu Qing walked in and said with a hint of urgency: "I found out, someone is really fanning the flames."
