Chapter 1414 Meeting in a narrow road

Sure enough, this fragrance triggered Zhang Lao's long-lasting memories, and Chu Yunfeng secretly thought that this was already half the battle.

It was the first time to see Mr. Zhang so excited, and he had just seen the ingredients. President Hou suddenly became excited. When he looked at Chu Yunfeng, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Fortunately not humiliated!
I have failed many times before, but this time I finally saw the light!

Chu Yunfeng had just opened a little opening, but it had already attracted Mr. Zhang's attention, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot: "I brought this back from Ganzi. Can I make it for you to try later?"

These words immediately made Zhang Lao's expression stagnate, he obviously did not expect Chu Yunfeng to go there in person, how could such a behavior not move him.

"You, have you been there yet?"

The surprised Mr. Zhang was so moved that his lips trembled slightly when he spoke. Judging from everything in the lunch box, Chu Yunfeng was definitely well prepared. He must have done a lot of work and preparation.

Being able to put in so much effort for himself, Mr. Zhang was so moved that he didn't even know what to say.

"Yes, a friend happened to see a magical tsampa recipe there, so I went over to learn it. You also know that I am a chef and I am always very interested in novel things.

After going here, I found that I really gained a lot. Their tsampa cooking method is very unique. After listening to your story last time, I also made some confirmations.

Later I deduced that it was indeed the same scene as that year. Let me tell you!

This tsampa needs to be washed with snow water first, and then washed with hot water. After heating, it is put into a bag and fermented at a constant temperature for one night.

So you said that there was movement in their house all night, and they should be doing this. The tsampa that has been fermented overnight will have a strong aroma of wine, and the aroma of the highland barley has been completely stimulated. .

So after frying, all the water is dried, and then ground again, and it becomes the flavor you smell now.

So I have completed this first step in advance, then we will start boiling water to make butter tea. You can try it later and see if the tsampa tastes the same as the one you tasted back then? "

The original plan discussed with Chairman Hou was not to tell Mr. Zhang about his previous trip in a hurry, but to wait until the tsampa was ready and he had tasted it and there was no problem.

However, Chu Yunfeng saw that Zhang Lao was so excited just because of the scent, so he told him in advance. This would be more conducive to Zhang Lao's aftertaste and look forward to the making of tsampa.

Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with Chu Yunfeng's judgment. Mr. Zhang was indeed so moved that his body began to tremble with excitement. This made Mr. Wang Shufen also very affected. She stroked his back and made him feel different. So excited.

"Okay, okay, okay, thank you!"

Mr. Zhang really couldn't express his gratitude in words, so he held Chu Yunfeng's hand tightly, and a thousand words were contained in his grateful eyes.

"Then I'm going to boil the water first!"

After patting Mr. Zhang's hand twice, Chu Yunfeng, at the prompt of Mr. Wang Shufen, picked up the kettle with snow water in the lunch box and walked into the kitchen.

The water boiled quickly. When he came back, Chu Yunfeng took out a teapot from the lunch box, and then opened a small box.

"This is a very special kind of tea over there, called Jiayen tea. It is made from the leaves of the "Russe" tree. This is also a special ingredient used to make this unique tsampa.

I have tried Bian tea before, which is the old-fashioned brick tea, but the taste and texture are not as good as this Jiaen tea, so I speculate that this is the kind of tea that the family drank back then.

Because conditions were limited back then, few locals could afford to drink Bian tea, so they picked the leaves in July and August to make their own tea. "

Chu Yunfeng made the tea as he spoke. As soon as the boiled snow water was soaked, a rich tea color appeared instantly.

The whole room was surrounded by the strong aroma of tea. Zhang Laoyi was slightly stunned when he smelled the aroma of tea, but soon he laughed happily: "Yes, it's this smell, it's this smell." Son."

Seeing that Mr. Zhang was as happy as a child, Chu Yunfeng and President Hou looked at each other, and both could see the comfort in each other's hearts. This was a feeling of relief.

Fortunately not humiliated!
Soon, Chu Yunfeng began to place four bowls on the table, put some highland barley noodles in them, and then began to open the other three lunch boxes and took out the wild vegetables that had been prepared in advance.

Of course, there are no fresh wild vegetables in this season, but even if they are dried, after Chu Yunfeng's treatment, they are at least slightly worse than fresh ones.

There is nothing to say about the taste and texture. After chopping all these wild vegetables, I added a little and put them into the bowl.

Then a little bit of special butter was added into the teapot one after another, and suddenly a strong aroma of butter tea hit his nostrils, which made Mr. Zhang even more excited.

The most critical step came. Put some of the special milk residue into the bowl, and then Chu Yunfeng made an inviting gesture.

"Mr. Zhang, I'll pour ghee for you, how about you knead the tsampa yourself?"

In fact, Chu Yunfeng had long seen that Mr. Zhang wanted to do it himself, so with this suggestion, Mr. Zhang immediately nodded: "Okay, okay, I will do it myself!"

As the butter tea is poured in, a unique mixed aroma rises throughout the room, making people want to taste this extremely fragrant tsampa right away.

After Mr. Zhang washed his hands, he stirred little by little with his hands. As the highland barley noodles absorbed more and more water, the water-saturated highland barley noodles gradually began to take shape.

After kneading for a few times, everyone could see an expression of ecstasy gradually appearing on Mr. Zhang's face, and he kept nodding to show his joy.

"That's it, that's it"

The fermented tsampa is particularly elastic. When Mr. Zhang holds it in his hands, he can feel a springy texture. With such high expectations, Mr. Zhang's hands naturally move faster and faster.

"Okay, let's try it?"

The color of the shaped tsampa is very different from what you usually see. Because of the rich color of the tea leaves and the effect of wild vegetables, the whole tsampa looks a little dark.

But it was precisely because of this color that made Mr. Zhang so excited. The color of the tsampa he had seen in the past was wrong, so under Chu Yunfeng's prompting, Mr. Zhang's hands were shaking.

This is exciting!
With great anticipation, Mr. Zhang took the tsampa kneaded by his own hands, slowly put it in his mouth and took a bite. Immediately, tears fell from his eyes.

His lips moved several times, trying to say something, but he couldn't say anything for a long time. Mr. Zhang was completely immersed in the thoughts of the past.

The chewing movement in his mouth has stopped, obviously he is recalling the difficult past and the time of struggle with his comrades.

It seems that I feel that I have returned to that war-torn era, that era of passionate struggle and forge ahead, that era that tells the story of the perseverance and struggle of the Chinese nation.
Everyone is waiting quietly
Yoshihisa
Mr. Zhang seemed to have "awakened" from long-distant memories. Tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes, and the chewing movement started again, and the speed was still accelerating.
A piece of tsampa was quickly eaten by Mr. Zhang. It contained a memory of his past and a spiritual memory of that era, symbolizing the spirit of never admitting defeat!
"thanks, thanks"

Everything was said without saying anything. Seeing this scene, Chu Yunfeng finally felt a sense of relief that he had lived up to his trust, so he made another small bowl for Mr. Zhang and began to urge Mr. Wang Shufen to make one quickly. Come out and try it.

It seems that the old man likes it so much, and Wang Shufen is naturally looking forward to it. I have heard this story told by the old man many times, so I also yearn for the taste of tsampa.

After taking a bite of the tsampa made by himself, old man Wang Shufen nodded repeatedly, admiring the taste.

President Hou had already tasted it, but he pretended to be trying it for the first time, and also expressed his approval and praise. The atmosphere in this room was very lively and warm for a while.

It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Chu Yunfeng and President Hou came out of Mr. Zhang's house, and Mr. Wang Shufen sent the two of them downstairs.

"Xiao Chu, thank you so much. Come back when you have time, and I will make your favorite dumplings!

President Hou, thank you too. For all your hard work over the years, the old man’s wish has finally come true, and one of my wishes has been fulfilled. Thank you! "

Facing the old man Wang Shufen's thanks, Chu Yunfeng was polite and polite, and finally asked her to stay, and then the two of them slowly walked out of the community.

Whoo~!

Chu Yunfeng covered his stomach and immediately burped several times in succession.

"The dumplings are delicious, I'll bring you to eat them next time!"

Chu Yunfeng felt depressed when he heard President Hou's teasing tone. The old man and the others were so enthusiastic that they kept making him eat dumplings.

Chu Yunfeng also understood that this was what they wanted to express their gratitude, but no matter how much he ate, his stomach still had capacity, and in the end it really couldn't match their enthusiasm, which was naturally enough.

"Okay, I'll tell you when you get back that you didn't eat well, so you must eat more when you get back!"

uh~?

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's reply, President Hou couldn't help but look at Chu Yunfeng, and the two of them immediately laughed.
After completing the task, both of them felt a little relaxed. After getting in the car, President Hou started to talk about the business: "This international competition is extraordinary. The key to victory or defeat depends on you. Got it!"

In fact, these words made President Hou feel a little bitter. After investigating for such a long time, he did not expect that there were still mistakes.

However, the opponent has been carefully preparing and designing for so many years, and it suddenly breaks out, and it launches an attack on a key public international event. This is indeed difficult to deal with.

He felt that it was a bit late, and that his lack of preparation was his own responsibility, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was dereliction of duty, but fortunately, Chu Yunfeng made a comeback, judging from the current situation, there is still a chance of winning.

"I will go all out. If I want to play this time, I will play a big one. I will give him a painful blow at once, so that he will never dare to stroke the tiger's beard again."

Strong self-confidence arose spontaneously, and President Hou could feel Chu Yunfeng's confidence in the decisive battle, so he immediately asked: "Tell me, how do you want to play, we will fully cooperate with you!"

When Chu Yunfeng thought of the idea he had come up with, the corners of his mouth curled up: "Let's start an international live broadcast."

International live broadcast?

stunned!
President Hou's expression suddenly became serious, and he was also evaluating the pros and cons of this matter in his heart. This move immediately made him realize that it was inappropriate.

Obviously his confidence is not as strong as Chu Yunfeng's. If he loses, wouldn't he be slapped in the face, and it will be doubled.

Of course, there is no problem if he wins. In terms of publicity and public opinion, it can highlight Huaxia's majestic style and make Xiaoxiao unable to hide. However, Chu Yunfeng's state doesn't look like he is playing tricks?

Since the matter was serious, President Hou was "scheming" and felt that he should not be too impulsive, so he nodded and said: "I understand this matter, let me think about it!"

Chu Yunfeng also understood that the matters related to this propaganda could not be decided immediately by Chairman Hou. He could not decide and needed to report it to the superiors.

In the following time, Peng Yue and Wu Junjie really worked hard to train with all their lives. In fact, it was not just the two of them, the others were also working very hard.

As each dish was cooked every day, everyone no longer felt anything. They were completely immersed in learning how to cook, learning from their own shortcomings, and the speed of improvement was very fast!

Two weeks seemed like a long time, but it passed quickly.

Tomorrow is the official departure time. That night, after finishing making the last dish, Chu Yunfeng and the others got together.

When everyone looked at each other, roaring laughter suddenly erupted in the electronic classroom.
The reason is very simple. Everyone has dark circles under their eyes, especially at night when the lights are dim. They thought they were seeing a national treasure. How could they not make people laugh?

"How's it going? Is everyone ready?"

When Chu Yunfeng asked loudly, the eight people present immediately responded enthusiastically: "Ready!"

"Then let's go and give him a good fuck!"

"Done!"

After the internal exam the day before yesterday, the nine people in this electronic classroom have undoubtedly obtained the quota to participate in the international competition. For the competition, the nine people have only exposed a little bit of their strength.

At this moment, everyone's true strength has not been leaked, but Ji Lao, Lotte Jiao and others came here this morning. After watching for another half an hour, they all took a deep breath.

Then he shook his head and couldn't believe what he saw. If he didn't want to disturb them, he would have been caught and "interrogated".

Grandma, is this still the apprentice that I have cultivated with all my heart over the years?
In less than three months, the improvement speed is faster than that of his training, and now he is stronger than himself. Where does this master put his face?

They didn’t know how to express the bitterness in their hearts, so everyone immediately thought of one person and immediately started looking for Mr. Li.
the next day!
When Chu Yunfeng and the others walked into the airport, Zhang Xinran followed. There were many people behind her, one of whom was Chu Yunfeng's old acquaintance, Director Wu.
The island country at this time was also an airport. The scene was much grander than that in China, which shocked the reporters at the airport.

Chaebol, many chaebol members came to see him off, and the leader said: "We look forward to your good news. We are waiting to enter the Chinese catering market at any time."
