Chapter 217 The name of the dish I have never heard of

When Chu Yunfeng heard what President Hou said, he didn't believe it at first, because the spicy characteristics of Sichuan cuisine are already deeply rooted in people's hearts. This is everyone's basic understanding of Sichuan cuisine.

"Haha, another one who doesn't believe it. It seems that our Sichuan cuisine has really been dormant for a long time, and it's really time for change and revival."

President Xiong was satisfied, but seeing Chu Yunfeng's unbelieving look on his face made him feel very uncomfortable.

This is true for the younger generation. If this continues, the revival of Sichuan cuisine will really be irreversible.

"I know you don't believe it. I'll tell you a few dishes and see if you've heard of them?" President Hou felt very uncomfortable, but after experiencing it so many times, he began to feel numb.

"Is it Sichuan food? The very famous kind?" Chu Yunfeng asked. If it is Sichuan food, then he must know it. As a Sichuanese, how come he doesn't even know the famous Sichuan food?

Even people from other provinces will know a few famous dishes when it comes to Sichuan cuisine.

"It's definitely Sichuan cuisine, and it's very famous. I guess you've never heard of it. How about we make a bet?" President Hou said in a seductive manner, not afraid that Chu Yunfeng would not agree.

"No problem, how to bet?" Chu Yunfeng had no idea that he was falling into the trap set by President Hou step by step. Instead, he became excited and wanted to have a good fight with President Hou.

Are there any Sichuan dishes you haven’t heard of?How is it possible? Even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs running away. After working in a five-star hotel for so long, how can you not know Sichuan cuisine?And it’s still very famous?
"If you haven't heard of any of the dishes I'm talking about, how about cooking them all?" President Hou's bet seems simple, giving people a feeling of no pressure. What kind of bet is this? Well?

President Xiong was secretly laughing at the side, almost uncontrollable. If President Hou hadn't pushed him with his elbow, he would have laughed wildly right away.

President Xiong couldn't help but smile. President Hou's move was so clever that Chu Yunfeng fell in without even realizing it, and he didn't even have a chance to regret it.

But isn’t it a bit disrespectful to bully a “newcomer” like this?But this was just an innocuous joke.

"No problem, just tell me!" Chu Yunfeng said proudly. He was so interested in the name of the dish that President Hou mentioned that he forgot to ask what he would do if he won.

President Hou was overjoyed, cleared his throat and said, "Listen up!!!
Nine-color dumpling box, snowflake chicken noodle, bamboo fungus liver paste soup, tangerine peel meat, butterfly sea cucumber, soft fried finger finger, pot sticker kidney slices, roasted crispy cubes, abalone chicken kidney, sugar-sticky sheep tail.

Roasted sea cucumber in dry oil, pork head with bean dregs, barbeque suckling pig, golden chicken with pot stickers, lamb ear chicken roll, roasted chicken in a bun, white stuffed sea cucumber, chicken nao shark's fin, sunflower three delicacies, raw sliced ​​chrysanthemum pot.

I have only mentioned these 20 dishes. Have you heard of one? "President Hou seemed to have many dishes that he didn't mention. He only mentioned these 20 dishes and then stopped.

"Impossible, are these all Sichuan dishes?" Chu Yunfeng looked at the two presidents with a blank expression. If he hadn't confirmed that these two were masters in the culinary world, he would have definitely thought that they were here to make himself happy. .

“These are very authentic Sichuan dishes, and they were once popular throughout the whole of Jiangnan. Not only were the Manchu dignitaries enthusiastically sought after them, but even Chiang Kai-shek’s order was rejected.

The characteristics of authentic Sichuan cuisine are that each dish is unique, the cabbage has a variety of flavors, it is fresh and fresh, and both rich and rich. "

When President Hou talked about the legend of Sichuan cuisine, he felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.

"No way, Sichuan cuisine also includes seafood and even barbecued pork? Isn't this barbecued pork a Cantonese dish?" Chu Yunfeng found that he was "poisoned". Is this still the Sichuan cuisine he knew?
"In fact, the dishes I told you just now are basically lost. Of course, these 20 dishes are not the only ones that have been lost." Chairman Hou said with a sigh.

"Lost? Why is this happening? Doesn't it sound like no one can cook such a high-end dish now?" Chu Yunfeng couldn't understand it even more. Since everyone knows the name of the dish, why can't it be made?
"There are many reasons, but I can't explain it at the moment. Do you still remember the bet we just made? Are you ready to fulfill it?"

A trace of nervousness flashed in President Hou's heart, what if Chu Yunfeng cheated and failed to perform the contract?Can I still force him?

To the surprise of President Hou, Chu Yunfeng quickly agreed: "No problem, I am also looking forward to restoring these famous dishes, but I am afraid that I will not be able to do it well, because I have never even heard of them. "

"Ah~! You agreed?" President Hou didn't expect Chu Yunfeng to agree so readily, and also showed an eagerness to try.

Many of the people I had invited before were not interested at all. They felt that this kind of thing was meaningless, wasting time, and delaying their own efforts to make money.

In this impetuous society, there are very few people who want to calm down and do things, and President Hou is already used to it.

But Chu Yunfeng showed strong interest, which made President Hou feel a little ecstatic.

President Xiong also nodded frequently, having new expectations for the revival of Sichuan cuisine.

"Why don't you agree? Didn't I lose the bet just now, but I'm afraid that I can't do it well! Besides, you only said a little bit about the magic of Sichuan cuisine, and it has already made me very interested. If you introduce it more, A little bit of its legend will make me more interested."

Chu Yunfeng felt that his stay in Sichuan for so many years was in vain, and he was still engaged in the chef industry, but he had never even heard of authentic Sichuan cuisine, let alone the general public.

I not only have a strong curiosity about authentic Sichuan cuisine, but also have a kind of worship from the bottom of my heart.

"Okay, okay, okay...! There is no rush in this matter of recovery. As long as you agree, we will discuss this matter slowly when we come down. Now let me tell you about Sichuan cuisine, the glory of authentic Sichuan cuisine."

President Hou’s face kept smiling. It seemed that the revival of Sichuan cuisine was possible, and he felt inexplicably happy.

"How many kinds of Sichuan cuisine do you think the chefs on the market can cook now?" President Hou asked Chu Yunfeng instead of explaining the legend of Sichuan cuisine to Chu Yunfeng immediately.

"Let me think about it, uh~! There are about 50 kinds." Chu Yunfeng thought for a while, and the menu in the hotel before should have about this number.

"Well, it's roughly the same, but I want to tell you that there are more than 1000 traditional Sichuan dishes in the true sense. Now, do you have a new understanding of Sichuan cuisine?"

Chairman Hou's words were astonishing, and Chu Yunfeng was taken aback. There are more than 1000 traditional Sichuan dishes. Don't be too scary, okay?

Chu Yunfeng estimated that including famous snacks and the recipes he knew, it would be good to have a total of 100 dishes. Who would have thought there would be so many?
"There are indeed so many, but... But this is just a counted number. According to our search of historical materials and combined with the memories of some masters, there are actually more than 7000 dishes in Sichuan cuisine."

"Oh my god? There are so many...?"

Chu Yunfeng was completely confused and looked stunned. Do he want to cook all these more than 7000 dishes...?
