Chapter 1386 Doubt?

try it?
President Hou looked at Chu Yunfeng with a hint of suspicion, almost thinking that he heard wrongly.

After getting in the car, I couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Is this very difficult?"

Considering Chu Yunfeng's current strength, it shouldn't be too simple to restore a dish, let alone such a simple dish, even though it has a little bit of specialness.

However, President Hou also knows that this dish seems to be very simple, but none of the chefs who have been here before have succeeded. But Chu Yunfeng is different. If others don't know it, how can he not understand it?

Chu Yunfeng, who was sitting in the car, had a serious and dignified expression, and shook his head after hearing the words, "I asked a total of three questions just now, and two old men gave answers, but the remaining one didn't have an accurate answer.

I guess the most critical core point may lie in this issue, and so many people have failed before, probably because of this failure! "

Chu Yunfeng's question just now was indeed different from what others had asked. President Hou pondered for a moment and then asked: "The first question you asked before was whether the male owner of the house cooked all the wild vegetables.

Also, is this family herding cows or sheep?
Of these two questions, I think the second question is a bit strange, and your third question is even more strange, as it actually asked about the family's state the night before.

Especially if you saw what they were doing and why they didn't sleep all night. "

President Hou was really puzzled by Chu Yunfeng's three questions. Most of the questions asked by others were about the shape and taste of this tsampa.

So, Chu Yunfeng’s focus made Chairman Hou think that it was off-direction from the beginning. What kind of inexplicable problem is this?
Chu Yunfeng's brows furrowed deeper at this time, as if he thought of some unexplained difficulty. When he heard that President Hou didn't understand, he took a long breath and said: "I summarized it at the beginning. Failure is not without reason.

They were too focused on the state of the tsampa itself at that time and ignored some very important details. Judging from the old man's story, the family didn't sleep the night before. Isn't this suspicious?
They must have been preparing to make food for the team the night before, but making tsampa in the morning was definitely enough time. Why did they start preparing it at night?

Of course, these wild vegetables are also very important. The old man is not sure how many kinds of wild vegetables everyone gave him at that time. Whether the family used all of them or only part of them.

It is very likely that they thought some wild vegetables were inedible, so they only used part of them, or they knew that everyone had a deep understanding of wild vegetables and that these wild vegetables were all edible.

So the types of wild vegetables involved here are quite troublesome. Should we put one type or several types?

It is not difficult to understand the local wild vegetables, but the difficult part is how to combine them. You can't let the old man try dozens or even hundreds of combinations, right?
In addition, the question I asked about whether to herd cattle or sheep is also very important. The conditions were very poor back then, and there were many chieftains exploiting them. The life of the herdsmen was very difficult.

It is certain that the cattle raised locally are yaks. These yaks are a treasure to the herdsmen, especially the cow dung, which after drying can be used as firewood for heating and cooking in winter.

Yak meat and milk are also the materials they depend on for survival, but why do they ask whether they raise sheep? This involves the issue of dairy products.

This is also used to make tsampa. According to my previous search results on the Internet, Tibetan areas in Ganzi and Aba often add some milk residue to it.

Doing this can add a lot of flavor, so it is very important whether the family added milk residue and whether they added yak milk or goat milk residue.

So the last answer the old man didn't give an accurate answer was because he didn't see what the family was doing that night.

But I later heard from everyone that the family had been busy all night. As for what they were busy with, someone might have seen it at the time, but the old man didn't know and didn't ask anyone to ask.

But I think this place is the most critical. After all, I have been busy all night. I think there must be something very critical here.

To sum up, there are too many details involved. The key is to let the old man recall the taste of that year after tasting it once. This is very difficult.

If I can let him taste it slowly, I can make at least dozens of flavors. From this, I will definitely be able to make the flavor that he is familiar with and has been thinking about for so many years.

But in order to prevent the old man from getting too emotional, this was too difficult for me since I only had one chance.

So I’m going to think about it carefully during this period of time, and then work on some details, and then I’ll talk about it when I’m sure! "

hiss~!

Chu Yunfeng's words completely shocked President Hou. Sure enough, unlike other people who had been here, Chu Yunfeng actually considered the details so profoundly.

And the whole idea and logic are completely impeccable. Even for the sake of safety, he didn't dare to take action at will, which shows how much he values ​​this matter.

Good boy, not bad, not bad!
Praising Chu Yunfeng again in his heart, President Hou nodded heavily, patted Chu Yunfeng on the shoulder and said: "Very good, I'll leave this to you. If you need my cooperation if you need anything, just ask!" "

hiss~!

Now it was Master Wang's turn to drive. He was shocked. When had he ever heard President Hou speak to a young man in such a tone?
please?

ordered?

Doesn't this put your attitude too low?

Chu Yunfeng obviously heard the humility in President Hou's words, so he quickly replied with a helpless tone: "President, aren't you trying to offend me?
I don't dare to order you, but I really need your help with something! "

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng's tail had not yet reached the sky, President Hou knew that Chu Yunfeng's nature had never changed, and immediately nodded in agreement: "No problem, just say it!"

"You must have tasted tsampa made by others before. You should be familiar with the taste of their food, so I would like to invite you to be a taster. I wonder if you are willing?"

It is definitely not easy to succeed once. This requires making many different flavors of tsampa. As one of the parties involved, President Hou is naturally familiar with the flavors made by others in the past.

Then he could help Chu Yunfeng eliminate many experimental products. President Hou naturally understood what Chu Yunfeng was thinking, so he immediately extended his hand and said: "Happy cooperation!"

???

When Chu Yunfeng saw President Hou's outstretched hand, he shook his head helplessly, stretched it out to shake it and said, "Okay, happy cooperation!"

"Okay? What's the matter, you're not happy about me being a food taster?"

"How could I? Are you obviously making fun of me?"

"Am I kidding? Aren't I cooperating with you when I am a food taster?"

"Cooperation is cooperation, but aren't you kidding me?"

"Just teasing you, do I have the leisure time?"

"I"

"What am I, am I speechless?"

Facing President Hou's helplessness, Chu Yunfeng was naturally helpless and could only remain silent. President Hou looked at the night scene outside the window and laughed silently.
"You're back?"

"Not asleep yet?"

"Isn't this waiting for you? How about it, can you do it?"

After Chu Yunfeng returned to the guest house, he saw that the lights in the room were still on as soon as he opened the door. Mu Qing immediately appeared in front of him, and after a hug, he became concerned.

After "rewarding" Mu Qing, Chu Yunfeng shook his head slightly and said, "It's a bit difficult, but I'll try it slowly. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"That's great. You must help Grandpa Zhang fulfill his wish. Although the matter is not big, you must go all out for such a respectable old man!"

After Mu Qing heard about this incident in the afternoon, she searched for various related information on the Internet, and naturally learned about the spirit of selfless dedication of the old man Zhang Guoqiang.

For so many years, he has stuck to his heart, served the people wholeheartedly, and helped many people to the best of his ability, yet he himself lived in such poverty without any complaints.

How could such a person not be worthy of respect and respect?

Chu Yunfeng gently scratched Mu Qing's nose and said, "Don't worry, I will start to recover the day after tomorrow, and I will definitely create the same taste as Mr. Zhang's back then!"

"The day after tomorrow?" Mu Qing immediately became confused, looked at Chu Yunfeng suspiciously, and immediately shook her head, "Why is it the day after tomorrow and not tomorrow?"

tomorrow?

Chu Yunfeng also immediately shook his head and said: "I won't be able to make it tomorrow. There are still a lot of things that need to be prepared, and I have to make a call right away!"

puff~!

After hearing these similar words, Mu Qing couldn't help but laugh immediately. Chu Yunfeng was obviously looking for Boss Wu again.

And it's almost [-] o'clock in the morning. If I call him at this time, Boss Wu will probably curse. It's like this every time.
"Let's get up early tomorrow morning. It's not too late, and it's so late. Where can Boss Wu get ingredients for you?"

Mu Qing's words were indeed correct, Chu Yunfeng nodded and said, "Then let's do it tomorrow morning, lest Boss Wu say I'm not kind!"

puff~!

Mu Qing laughed again. Would it be kind to call her tomorrow morning?

The next morning, the time of "early morning" is different for different people. Some people can wake up early at eight or nine in the morning.

But Chu Yunfeng got up at six o'clock every morning, and the first time he got up, he went to the bathroom lightly. In order not to disturb Mu Qing, Chu Yunfeng closed the door of the bathroom.

The phone was answered after six rings, and then came Boss Wu's sleepy voice: "You did it on purpose, didn't you just want me to have a good night's sleep?"

As soon as he heard Boss Wu's voice, Chu Yunfeng felt particularly clear, and immediately replied with a smile: "Oh, Boss Wu is so soft on making money, aren't you happy to give you money so early in the morning? "

Chu Yunfeng's sugar-coated bullets have long made Boss Wu immune, so he snorted and said: "Okay, you kid, are you the best person to give away money?
It's definitely not good for you to call me at this time. Tell me, what kind of hole are you going to dig for me? "

Boss Wu is already accustomed to Chu Yunfeng's behavior, but after such a long time, he naturally understands that he often encounters some special problems.

So it is imperative to find ingredients temporarily. Fortunately, I have the resources to help him. It is okay to be troublesome and busy, but I am afraid that he will be in a hurry and I will not be able to make time.

This was not the first time that Boss Wu had "seen through" him. Chu Yunfeng's face had also developed an extraordinary thickness, and he immediately said with a smile: "You still have the bright eyes, this time it's easier, just make Zanzi." It’s just the ingredients for the cake.”

Tsampa?

That's it?

The simpler Chu Yunfeng said, the more Boss Wu didn't dare to underestimate him. He immediately sat up from the bed, put on a piece of clothing, and walked out of the room.

"Zanba? Why did you use highland barley? Are there any Tibetan guests?"

Boss Wu immediately thought that Chu Yunfeng was going to make another state banquet, but the highland barley used to make tsampa should be easy to find, and there must be a chef for the state banquet.

But there must be something fishy about why Chu Yunfeng called him specifically.

"No, this highland barley has origin requirements. It cannot be from XZ area, it must be from Ganzi and Aba areas. There are also local wild vegetables. Give me some of all kinds.

By the way, you can also bring me some local yak milk residue and goat milk residue, among other things."

"Wait, wait, what are you doing? Who has such special needs? Tell me quickly."

Boss Wu was a little confused after what he heard, so his curiosity was overflowing. Understanding it clearly would be helpful for him to help, wouldn't it?
Knowing that Boss Wu was very curious, Chu Yunfeng told Boss Wu the story of old man Zhang Guoqiang, which immediately moved Boss Wu.

"You brat, why didn't you tell me earlier? You didn't know what you knew last night. Tell me right away. Don't say anything. I'll contact you immediately and send you the stuff at noon today.

Just wait, I will do my best to get it, and you will receive it in the afternoon."

Boss Wu exploded at this moment, making Chu Yunfeng a little dumbfounded. Isn't he trying to let you have a good sleep? Is it easy for me?
But it's not okay to hang up the phone so soon. Chu Yunfeng quickly reminded: "I haven't finished speaking yet, don't worry!

One more thing, please help me understand the local method of making tsampa. I guess it may be a little different from the XZ area.

This probably has something to do with the taste that other people have made before. Let’s see if there are any special features in this production method. "

"I know, just wait for my good news!"

Chu Yunfeng quickly hung up the phone and began to look forward to it. After the ingredients arrived, he would study it carefully and see how to make this wild vegetable tsampa.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it wild vegetable cream tsampa.

In the morning, he continued to exchange dishes with Wan Lao and the others. As he mastered more and more palace dishes, Chu Yunfeng became more and more knowledgeable about the ingredients and production techniques of the palace dishes.

Imperial bean curd, Kung Pao hare, red plum bean paste, coriander and fried pigeon, golden bergamot roll, milk fish fillet, dried Lianfu sea cucumber, hanging pheasant, lotus leaf roll, mountain delicacy thorn dragon bud, lotus tofu The exquisite dishes also opened Mu Qing's eyes.

Especially the two little ones in the belly also think it is delicious. Whenever they taste these delicious dishes, they feel the same joyful mood and respond by kicking their stomachs from time to time.

In the afternoon, when I was learning cooking with Mr. Ji and the others, the package that Boss Wu rushed over arrived, and it was delivered after a quick inspection.

So when Chu Yunfeng opened these big boxes and saw the highland barley and other ingredients inside, Mr. Ji and the others were extremely curious.

Especially when Mr. Li and President Hou also hurried over, they were even more curious. What on earth is Chu Yunfeng going to do?

Afterwards, even Minister Jin and Minister Wang walked in quickly, and all the people present became even more dignified.
