Chapter 468 Do you agree?

"How about it, Boss Chu, let me just say that I am the "local snake" here. You still have to rely on me to lead the way at critical moments."

Ai Ai raised his head and said with a proud expression on his face.

"Okay, okay, okay, can I treat you to dinner tonight?" Chu Yunfeng shook his head helplessly. When these two people came here, their eyes were blank, and the community still found them by themselves.
"Ouye, that's great, we're going to eat in your store." Xiaoxiao immediately suggested that the food outside is not as delicious as the ones in Chu Yunfeng's store.

"Okay, no problem. Let's go buy something first and then go visit." Chu Yunfeng continued to rush into the supermarket and bought some nutritional supplements for the elderly and carried them in his hands.

The community where Ai Ai lived was not far or near from here, so the three of them drove there and parked under a building.

"Grandma Zhou's house is on the 15th floor, let's go up." Ai Ai walked in excitedly.

Fortunately, after knocking on the door, an old man with gray hair opened the door and recognized Ai Ai at a glance.

"Come in, come in, come in and sit down, come on. What else do you want to buy?"

Grandma Zhou warmly welcomed the three people in, and then peeled fruit for them to eat.

"Grandma Zhou, we are here to know the information about the tofu shop next to Wanfu Bridge. Do you know?
Just now we heard from Grandma Qian that a scholar asked you to find out some information before. Is that so? "

Ai Ai is an impatient person, and she asked questions first as soon as her butt sat down.

"Hehe, there is such a thing, that man's name is Che Fu. He seems to be a reporter. He has been engaged in literary and artistic writing. Later, I heard that he is also a director of some culinary association. It is said that someone nicknamed him "Food Bodhisattva". .

He loves literature, is an old Chengdu native, and is also an old writer. He can eat, know things, and can write. But he felt bored after retirement, so he began to collect some materials about opera and food. After sorting them out, he started writing a book.

Want to record something from the past, but now you don’t know if it’s finished? "

Grandma Zhou seemed to be very familiar with this person, which made Chu Yunfeng feel excited.

If this is the case, then this person must be able to know the inside story of this dish, including its "past and present life". If you can hear his own words, then you will have the confidence to restore this dish.

"Grandma Zhou, do you know where he lives? Do you have his contact information?" Chu Yunfeng asked quickly, with a look of expectation on his face.

"Oh, then I'm going to look for it. He did give me a phone call before. After so many years, I don't know if I can still find it in my little book. Just wait!"

After Grandma Zhou finished speaking, she started "rummaging through boxes and cabinets", and Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai quickly stepped forward to help.

After a lot of "faffing around", I finally found a small red plastic book in a drawer under the TV cabinet, and then found the phone.

"Yes, yes, that's the number. How about I call you and ask?" Grandma Zhou said kindly, eliminating Chu Yunfeng's request.

"Thank you for your help. Ask him when he has time. Let's pay him a visit."

Chu Yunfeng's heart couldn't stop beating wildly. This hope was just ahead. He had a feeling that after making this call, the truth would not be far away.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Che Fu?
I am Zhou Xiaoqin, yes yes. You still remember. This is how many young people who are interested in the Mapo Tofu shop of Wanfuqiao's Mapo Tofu shop want to know some things that year.

Don’t I just think of you? Are you familiar with this matter?
Oh~!You know this, okay, okay. When is it convenient for you, I'll ask them to come find you.
Then I'll make a note of the address. It'll be tomorrow afternoon, right?

Okay, okay, then I’ll thank you on their behalf, okay, okay, okay, bye.”

As soon as Grandma Zhou hung up the phone, Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai cheered.

Chu Yunfeng was also very excited, waiting for what Grandma Zhou would say next.

"I contacted him. He now lives in Pixian County. This is his address. You can go there tomorrow afternoon." Grandma Zhou tore off the note with the address and handed it to Chu Yunfeng .

Chu Yunfeng answered it excitedly, and then took down Mr. Che's phone number. With Grandma Zhou's enthusiasm, he ate an apple and an orange before letting them go.

With such a good clue, the three of them naturally wanted to celebrate. When they returned to the store, Chu Yunfeng cooked a delicious meal for Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai to enjoy.

After closing the store the next day, Chu Yunfeng did not take the two of them in their car again, but asked Ma Fu to drive the three of them there, but Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai had a long discussion.

Boss Chu is really boring
I followed the navigation and came to Pixian County. The impression of Pixian County now is not the same as before. I feel that it is far away from the city. After the subway is connected, it is very convenient to go into or out of the city.

There is one most famous thing in Pixian County, which is also the soul seasoning of Sichuan cuisine, and that is Pixian Douban.

Especially when making twice-cooked pork, seasonings that inject this soul are absolutely indispensable.

Chu Yunfeng has already learned the dish of twice-cooked pork from Wu Ma, but he has never introduced it in the store, not because he can't cook it himself, but because the dish he made now is not authentic at all.

There are two main reasons. The first is the problem with this Doubanjiang. I have not yet found a Doubanjiang brewed using the ancient method.

Secondly, the Chenghua pig, the pig breed most suitable for twice-cooked pork, is about to become extinct. It is said that there are currently less than 100 pigs in stock.

Chu Yunfeng had a vague idea in his mind. Should he raise pigs by himself?

Otherwise, it would be a pity that this classic dish will never have its authentic taste again.
I have been paying attention to Doubanjiang. Boss Wu gave him an address before so that he could have time to visit Pixian County.

It just so happens that I have to visit Mr. Che today. After I finish my work, I can go and see the scene.

The vehicle turned into a quiet community, and a group of three people, all carrying visiting gifts in their hands, knocked on the door of Che's hometown.

As soon as he met Mr. Che, Chu Yunfeng immediately saw the accumulation of knowledge in him.

Mr. Che is almost 90 years old. He has gray hair and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He still looks very energetic and warmly welcomes everyone to come in.

Chu Yunfeng got straight to the point and told Mr. Che the purpose of coming. After hearing this, Mr. Che asked: "Can I ask about your occupation first?"

"I am a chef and have opened a shop on Kuixinglou Street. I have learned some information about Mapo Tofu before, and I tasted the taste there in RB a few days ago.

It made me realize that this dish should not be that simple, so when I returned to China, I began to look for clues everywhere, hoping to restore the original taste of this dish so that everyone can taste its most original taste. "

Chu Yunfeng's words immediately cheered up Che Lao. Grandma Zhou hadn't made it clear on the phone before. She thought someone wanted to know the history of this dish.

But I didn't expect that someone would want to restore this dish.

"Haha, no problem, I can give you answers to all your questions here, but I have one request, and that is to restore this dish, and I want to be the first person to taste it.

Do you agree? "
