Chapter 1335 Weird smile?
Special training?

Guo Kui and Hu Yue immediately became excited, and the expressions of surprise on their faces were like meeting a peerless beauty. It was obvious that they were looking forward to this special training.

However, Chu Yunfeng seemed very flat and a little depressed. In this special training, he might not be able to meet Mu Qing tonight.

If it had been done too late, Mu Qing would have gone to bed long ago, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

But the surprising thing is that Mr. Li said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, please go first, just leave this place to me!"

Huh~?

Guo Kui and Hu Yue were dumbfounded. Master Feng also blinked, but it didn't matter if he thought about it. Chu Yunfeng was the main force in cooking this time, and he didn't need special training.

So Chu Yunfeng happily nodded and replied, "That's fine, I'll withdraw first, and I'll have to work hard for you here!"

Mr. Li has a good reputation for these more than 500 dishes, so even if he leaves, there will be no problem. Mr. Li will arrange a series of things for making these dishes for everyone.

After leaving the gate, Chu Yunfeng naturally called Mu Qing, and then stopped a car and started to drive home. Now he was very much looking forward to seeing Mu Qing and the two little guys in her stomach.

Mu Qing sent herself messages from time to time, telling herself that the little guy was naughty and would play in his belly when nothing happened. This made Chu Yunfeng feel an unprecedented sense of responsibility.

I am going to be a father, and there are two at a time, how lucky am I?
Chu Yunfeng, who was full of joy, just got out of the car and found Mu Qing greeting him at the door, so he quickly walked up and gave Mu Qing a warm hug.

"Be gentle, don't hit the baby!"

After becoming a mother, Mu Qing's most precious treasures now are the two children in her belly. She is always careful, but now even Chu Yunfeng is a little worried.

"How could that happen? I'm very..."

Before Chu Yunfeng could finish what he said, Mu Qing immediately gave him a reward and immediately sealed the rest of his words, making Chu Yunfeng feel a strong sense of warmth.

Then he heard a sound of covering his mouth and snickering. Even without looking at it, Chu Yunfeng could already recognize that it was grandma's voice.

"Come in, it's cold outside!"

Mu Qing's face turned as red as a big apple, and then she pinched Chu Yunfeng's waist gently.

Chu Yunfeng made a helpless expression. Can you blame me?
This made Mu Qing laugh immediately, and Chu Yunfeng held her hand, and the two of them walked in warmly.

"Where's grandpa?"

He didn't see the old man when he walked in. After Chu Yunfeng asked, he found out that the old man was reading in the study, so he stopped disturbing him and prepared to cook something delicious for everyone.

Grandma was naturally very happy, the dishes made by Chu Yunfeng were indeed delicious, and Mu Qing immediately became a helper and entered the kitchen with Chu Yunfeng.

With Mu Qing's "help", the speed of cooking naturally couldn't be raised until grandma ran to the kitchen and said that she was hungry, which made the two of them couldn't help laughing.

There was a lot of food cooked in the evening, so everyone felt much warmer after eating it. The half-day off that Mr. Li gave Chu Yunfeng was naturally very precious.

Starting from the next day, there will never be such a relaxing time again.

In the next three days, Chu Yunfeng spent time in the new kitchen studying various dishes with Master Feng, Guo Kui, Hu Yue and Lao Li.

In the past three days, Chu Yunfeng basically cooked all the more than 500 dishes, and took videos of the preparation of each dish.

The unique methods contained in these old Sichuan dishes and the thinking of the predecessors they represent have indeed given everyone a great inspiration.

After everyone's discussion, all the daily menu lists for the ASEAN meeting were submitted and approved. This made everyone look forward to the day of official cooking.

Everyone cooperated very well, so Mr. Li asked Chu Yunfeng to add a few traditional Sichuan dishes every day to further enhance the style of Sichuan cuisine.

And it is necessary to completely establish the name of Sichuan cuisine on the first day, and make the reputation of Sichuan cuisine completely popular, and this is what everyone is looking forward to.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially since the ASEAN banquet is a unique buffet format, which will make this news even more popular.

I can fully imagine what a big surprise it will be for everyone when Sichuan cuisine makes its debut on the big stage again!

The night before the ASEAN meeting, Minister Jin came to Chu Yunfeng's kitchen after a busy day.

"Xiao Chu, how are you preparing? The official start is tomorrow. Are you stressed?"

The seemingly relaxed talk actually brought a slight amount of pressure, and Minister Jin was the most stressed. After all, the scale of this meeting was unprecedented.

This is an opportunity to show the country's strength, so there can be no mistakes. However, for the chef, Minister Jin is actually quite relieved.

After all, with Mr. Li in charge, Master Feng helping out, Chef Chu Yunfeng, Guo Kui and Hu Yue helping out, plus all the previous rehearsals, there must be no problems.

Naturally, Chu Yunfeng would not say that he was not under pressure, but replied humbly: "There is still a little pressure, but don't worry, Minister, we promise to complete the task!"

Mr. Li also nodded in recognition, took a sip of his own purple clay pot, and smiled with satisfaction on the side.

After re-checking tomorrow's menu and the ingredients used, Minister Jin left in a hurry. It seemed that he didn't know how long he would be busy tonight.

Chu Yunfeng and the others cannot relax. Except for Mr. Li, everyone else will stay here tonight and be on standby at any time.

The time in the evening also allowed Chu Yunfeng to process some ingredients, especially the traditional Sichuan dishes that needed to be made tomorrow. Naturally, the soup stock needed to be boiled as soon as possible.

There are three traditional Sichuan dishes for tomorrow - boiled cabbage, braised beef head and spinach dumplings.

When they first chose the braised beef recipe, not only Guo Kui and Hu Yue, but also Master Feng strongly opposed it because this dish took a long time to make.

And the most important thing is that there are too many "wasted" ingredients when making this dish.

Because this dish only uses the skin on the forehead of the cow head, and the rest is not needed. With so many people attending the meeting, how many cow heads are needed?
There is another more important question, that is, even if you make so many cow heads, you will need a lot of pots. Where can you find a place for it in a short while?
However, Chu Yunfeng only said one sentence and everyone immediately agreed: "This cow head is very popular in Southeast Asian countries, and the way to eat it can be varied.

After the beef head is braised separately, we can make it into charcoal grilled, cold, spiced, peppery and other flavors. Especially for people with different tastes, it is definitely their best choice when paired with lime chili dipping water. like.

However, this beef head recipe cannot be as big as usual. It is all served on small dinner plates, and the portion on each plate can only be 1/4 or 1/6 of the usual size.

When paired with asparagus, the portion is not small. It is definitely everyone's favorite when topped with stock. This special dish must be unique.

And although this boiled cabbage is very popular in China, I think this dish may not necessarily be more attractive than Niutou Fang because the eating habits of the two sides are different! "

???

!!!

It turned out that Chu Yunfeng had thought of this. It was indeed as he said. The eating habits of Southeast Asian countries are relatively unique, especially when it comes to eating spicy food, they prefer to combine it with sour. Such dishes should be their favorite.

So the time was advanced by one day, but Guo Kui and Hu Yue were too busy. It took a whole day just to deal with the bull's head, and it almost didn't make people tired.

A total of 55 cow heads were processed. Later, Minister Jin was alarmed, and he realized that this dish was so troublesome to make.

Only then did we urgently bring over a dozen large pots and add a few more stoves, and the arrangements were finally complete.

And I also have a very specific impression of Chu Yunfeng's ability to do anything.

That night, Guo Kui and Hu Yue couldn't help being sleepy in the back kitchen. Master Feng also wanted to help, but he couldn't do anything.

Chu Yunfeng, on the other hand, continued to process various ingredients energetically, especially those that needed to be steamed, which he had already begun to process in advance.

Today is the first day. According to the previous plan, a total of 98 dishes will be made today, 49 for lunch and 49 for dinner, and each dish will not be repeated.

There are five days in total, and there will be more dishes on the last day.

If this was told in advance, no one would believe it. This is a bit exaggerated. Each meal consists of nearly fifty dishes, two meals a day, not repeated for five consecutive days?
People who didn't know what was going on thought that the eight major cuisines were served together, but in these five days, all Sichuan cuisine was a one-man show. Once such news is announced, people will definitely be shocked.

However, according to Minister Jin's prediction, Chu Yunfeng and the others would feel less pressure the further they went, because some people would return after the previous two days of meetings.

At that time, the number of people attending the meeting will be reduced, and the number of dishes will naturally be reduced in the subsequent production. Therefore, Mr. Li and others think this task is quite simple.

After four o'clock in the morning, Mr. Li came to the kitchen and saw Guo Kui and the three of them still taking a nap. After Chu Yunfeng discovered Mr. Li, he wanted to shout, but Mr. Li stopped him.

After calculating the time, Mr. Li waved his hand not to wake them up and let them rest for a while. He went straight over and put on his apron and began to cooperate with Chu Yunfeng.

Seeing several people sleeping soundly, Chu Yunfeng "quietly" stewed the cow head next door...

This was Mr. Li and Chu Yunfeng cooking together. Chu Yunfeng immediately felt the different treatment. This was definitely quite different from when Guo Kui and Hu Yue paired up.

Because he cooks very quickly, Guo Kui and Hu Yue often cannot keep up with the ingredients, and he often has to wait for them.

But Mr. Li's hand speed is quite fast, so after working together, it is obvious that cooking is a very pleasant process.

However, being able to get Mr. Li to attack is not a privilege that everyone has, and not everyone can have Chu Yunfeng's strength.

At five o'clock in the morning, Section Chief Yu came to the kitchen. He started to rub his hands as soon as he came in. It was still cold outside, so this movement immediately woke up Guo Kui and the others.

"Hurry up and let me know if you need anything. In addition, Minister Wang will update the venue in a timely manner. The cooking time here can't be delayed!"

Before Chief Yu finished speaking, Guo Kui and Hu Yue jumped up in excitement, and then they saw that Chu Yunfeng and Mr. Li were already busy working quickly.

Master Feng was also shocked. Why didn't he wake up when Mr. Li came?

And the old man didn't say a word, how could he sleep so deeply? This delayed the business!

After everyone responded to Section Chief Yu, Guo Kui and Hu Yue shouted loudly, then started to put on their aprons as quickly as possible in their lives, and then stood in their positions as planned.

"Brother, why didn't you call me earlier?"

While Guo Kui was handling the ingredients, he shouted to Chu Yunfeng. Hu Yue even shouted depressedly: "I was really sleepy just now. It doesn't matter if I sleep a little less. Why don't you scream?" me?"

Master Feng didn't know what to say. He moved his lips twice, but in the end he just shook his head helplessly and speeded up the processing of ingredients.

Chu Yunfeng's hands were very fast at this time, and he replied with a smile without even raising his head: "Wouldn't it be better for you to sleep a little longer? Refresh yourself a little more, otherwise I'm worried that you won't be able to bear it for a while. !”

Can't stand it?
Is this obviously despising one's physical strength?Moreover, he looked down upon his own speed, so Guo Kui immediately protested: "How is it possible? According to the previous plan, I will be fine no matter how tired I am today."

Hu Yue also replied sternly: "That's right, with just such a small task, I can still save at least half of my physical strength!"

Seeing the two people's self-confidence, Master Feng nodded in approval, but Mr. Li's attitude was a little strange, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chu Yunfeng didn't say anything more. Like Mr. Li, a strange smile appeared on his lips.

Both the master and the apprentice made the same move. It was fine that Guo Kui and Hu Yue didn't see it, but Master Feng saw it clearly, which made his heart skip a beat.

What is this situation, is it possible that there will be some abnormal situation today?
Logically speaking, it’s impossible?
The previous plans had gone through several rounds of discussions and were finalized after repeated deliberation by Minister Jin, Minister Wang, and Chief Yu.

Therefore, whether it is the cooking time or various personnel arrangements, there should be no mistakes or emergencies.

But when Master Feng saw the unusual attitudes of these two people, he couldn't calm down anymore. He was extremely curious and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

But even though I wanted to know, I couldn't ask, which made me feel a little depressed and anxious.

After receiving these ingredients, Chu Yunfeng naturally secretly synthesized them with "rag", but the synthesis was not very powerful, and it was only twice the synthesis.

These ingredients are already pretty good, even if they are doubled, the fragrance is top-notch. If the fragrance is too prominent, it will not be beautiful.

Today is the first day. In order to show the strength of Sichuan cuisine, Chu Yunfeng made a lot of snacks.

In addition to the most famous and most gorgeous lotus cakes and phoenix tail cakes, Arrow Cake is also added.

This arrowroot is the name in Sichuan, but it is also called water chestnut in other places. Desserts made with it will add a sweet and crunchy texture.

Secondly, sweet snacks such as honey-flavored steamed pot and crystal balls will definitely make everyone's eyes shine.

The kitchen was quite busy all morning. After all, they had to prepare dishes for hundreds of people. Although it was a buffet style, the portion couldn't be less at all.

At 11:30 in the morning, Section Chief Yu quickly reminded: "It's almost time, let's serve the food quickly, which dishes are available now?"

Finally, when the food was served, Chu Yunfeng quickly signaled to Section Chief Yu, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
