Chapter 670 Happiness Comes Too Suddenly?
Master Lin's refusal was not as expected by Chu Yunfeng. When he heard that he refused without hesitation, Chu Yunfeng was unmoved, and continued to pick up the bamboo stick and bite off a big kidney.

“This is a dish passed down by my master, and it has been trained by a master. Non-professional chefs are not allowed to teach it to others.

Change the conditions. "

Master Lin said a little depressed, in fact, it is not that he does not want to teach these two dishes, the key is that the teacher's order is hard to break.

In fact, with the development of modern society, not many people are observing some of the rules of the older generation.

In particular, why is it passed down from male to female?

Non-disciples of the sect are not allowed to spread the word?
Non-my family, its heart must be different?
But Master Lin is different. His master is famous and has many apprentices under his name. If he "doesn't follow the rules", he will definitely be "besieged".

"There are no other conditions, just these two dishes, because these two dishes are really very classic, one is exquisite in style, and the other is novel."

Chu Yunfeng's words surprised Master Lin. He didn't expect him to be so insistent. Wasn't this embarrassing for himself?
"are you serious?"

Master Lin needs to confirm again. If this is really the case, it seems that we can't reach an agreement tonight. Maybe he needs to change his business direction.

Because the braised beef head recipe is of great importance, if it cannot be promoted as planned, it will have a great impact on subsequent promotion.

"I'm serious, I'm not kidding."

He said he was not joking, but in fact Chu Yunfeng said it jokingly, and he would soon give Master Lin a surprise.

"If that's the case, then this thing is"

"Forget it." Before the word "Forget it" was uttered, Chu Yunfeng immediately answered: "I'm sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear just now.

What I mean is not that you teach me how to cook step by step, but that I just watch you cook these two dishes, just to learn from the experience and learn from it.

Watch it only once. "

Chu Yunfeng said the last sentence word for word. The person who said it was very serious and the people who listened were surprised!
After Master Lin pondered for a few seconds, he was about to give up. He was about to finish his words of rejection, but he didn't expect such a magical turn of events.

What do you mean?
You've been doing this for a long time just to come and have fun with me?

Then why didn't you tell me earlier?
If you just watch the cooking from the sidelines, there is no problem with this condition, and Chu Yunfeng also added that you only watch it once.

Like everyone else, Master Lin also believed that it was impossible for Chu Yunfeng to learn such a dish completely by just watching it once.

Since I was an apprentice, I have slowly learned these classic dishes by following the advice of my master and making them over and over again.

It involves a series of issues such as knife skills, spices and heat, etc. It is impossible to learn it by just watching it once without explanation.

Especially when it comes to knife skills, some key steps cannot be mastered without prompts.

And even if there are hints, you may need long-term practice to master them.

And the amount of spices?Comprehensive steps?
The most critical issue with heat?
What kind of work does not require meticulous work and slow work will produce fine work?
Otherwise, it is just a matter of imitation and nothing more than superficial.

"You only need to watch me cook these two dishes, Butterfly Sea Cucumber and Bao Roast Chicken, right?"

Master Lin looked at Chu Yunfeng with sharp eyes, trying to see his truest thoughts from his eyes.

"Yes, that's it, no other requirements."

Chu Yunfeng stretched out his hand, his eyes were clear, and he clearly expressed his true wishes.

"Happy cooperation! But I have another request."

Master Lin didn't expect that Chu Yunfeng would agree so "easily", and he couldn't believe it in his heart. He was originally prepared to "hemorrhage", but who would have thought that the plot would turn around.

"You say?"

Chu Yunfeng asked slightly surprised.

"I'll make two more dishes. You can also observe and learn from them. This can be considered as compensation for you."

Master Lin found that Chu Yunfeng was too upright, and he was obviously here to help him for free.

What made him even more gratified was that in order not to embarrass himself, after he proposed the reward, he actually avoided it by watching himself cook.

What does this mean? It shows that this is a truly honest person, and a person worthy of deep friendship.

If it were someone else, such a favor would at least require a generous gift in return.

But what about Chu Yunfeng?

He readily agreed as if he was a normal person, and the conditions he proposed were simply insignificant.

Do two dishes?

On-site observation?

Is this a thing?

When I usually go out to compete or shoot promotional videos, there is never a time when a group of people are not gathered around to watch me cooking, including some famous chefs.

But the important question is, did these people learn to cook their own food?
The answer is simple, no.

not a single one!

If we talk about cooking, not to mention those high-end and complicated dishes, but just some simple and ordinary dishes. Who can cook them after just one look?
Some people may be able to "learn", but can the style and taste of the food reach that level?
Obviously it is impossible.

That's why Master Lin felt that Chu Yunfeng's emotional intelligence was simply too high. This was clearly a sign of goodwill to him and an expression of friendship between friends!

So I felt a little indebted and panicked. If I told anyone about this, others would definitely think that I was being bullied.

And President Hou also said that he would come over tomorrow to watch the grand event. After all, this is a magnificent dish, which is comparable to boiled cabbage in Sichuan cuisine.

So since Chu Yunfeng made a request for "observation", let's observe how to cook two more dishes.
Moreover, you can’t mess around with these two dishes. You must choose two substantial dishes. They must be your signature dishes and classic dishes of old Sichuan cuisine.

Only in this way can he be worthy of Chu Yunfeng's "feelings" and make the friendship between himself and him deeper.

Yes, it must be done!

"You want two more?"

As soon as Chu Yunfeng heard what Master Lin said, he immediately choked and coughed. Fortunately, he had already swallowed the big kidney, otherwise he would have sprayed it all out.

"Sorry, I ate a little too fast, Master Lin, please continue."

Chu Yunfeng quickly took a sip of beer to calm down his shock. He felt like Master Lin was playing tricks on him?
"What do you think of these two dishes, jar head and pig head with bean dregs?
This is my signature dish, which is easily hidden from others. It is also a classic representative of old Sichuan cuisine. Very few people can cook these two dishes anymore.

Especially the jar meat, which is a heavyweight dish at Gugu's feast. Not only is the preparation quite complicated, but it also requires very high requirements on the utensils used.

So it is very difficult to mass-produce it, and for this reason, no one has made this dish for almost decades. "

As soon as Master Lin finished speaking, Chu Yunfeng coughed violently, making people think he was choking on beer.

But Chu Yunfeng was "scared" by this "surprise". What was going on?

what happened?
who am I?
Where am i?

At first, I thought that Master Lin would agree very reluctantly, but who knew that in the end, not only did he readily agree.

Moreover, there seems to be an unexpected surprise at the end.

And this is a super surprise.

Jar of meat!
Bean dregs and pig head!

These two dishes are no ordinary dishes.

It’s no exaggeration to say that any dish can support a high-end restaurant.

Let’s talk about jar meat first. Chuanchi mentioned that there are actually two ways to make jar meat. One is to marinate the pork belly with various spices and fry it after killing the Nian pig.

After frying until golden brown and fragrant, put it into a jar, pour the lard in the pot into the jar to submerge it, and then close the lid to seal.

Three months later, after the deep-fried golden, dry and hard pork belly is soaked in fat and softened, take it out and cut it into thin slices, and you can enjoy the fat but not greasy, incomparably fragrant taste.

This kind of practice is also called "oil-based meat", and every household in southern Sichuan will make it during the Chinese New Year.

Whether eaten alone, with green peppers, or stir-fried with other vegetables, the aroma will definitely make children cry.

The jar meat mentioned by Master Lin is another very high-end method at the banquet.

Chu Yunfeng only heard from President Hou that this dish has a unique reputation and is known as the Buddha Jumping over the Wall in Sichuan cuisine!
This shows the delicacy and beauty of this dish, but what is the utensil that Master Lin is talking about?

Looking at his helpless expression, is this thing really difficult to find?

Not to mention the pork head with bean dregs, this dish is one of the signature dishes of Nantang Sichuan Cuisine, and Chu Yunfeng has always wanted to learn it but never had the chance.

Okara dishes have a high status in traditional Sichuan cuisine, and there are many ways to make them.

Bean dregs, abalone and duck!
Bean dregs and duck breast!

And the method of bean dregs is not simply mixed with bean dregs directly. The treatment of bean dregs alone requires three processes of washing, frying and boiling.

From this, we can know the meticulous characteristics of traditional Sichuan cuisine, and the preparation method of each classic dish is very particular.

"Very good, thank you, Master Lin."

Chu Yunfeng was stunned by this sudden "happiness" and immediately agreed.

This kind of good thing can't have any accidents. I don't want to say anything. Is it too troublesome?
Or something like "Master Lin, you're too polite." What if Master Lin changes his tone and says "Just forget it?"
"You're welcome, come here, eat a little more, if it's not enough, I'll go to the kitchen to get some more."

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng was so "righteous" and accepted his kindness so happily, Master Lin even made Chu Yunfeng his confidant and started baking even harder.

"That's enough, that's enough. There's still so much. I can't finish it. I can't finish it. Master Lin, don't just bake it. Why don't you eat some too?"

Let me bake for a while, and you eat some too, and let's have a drink together. "

Chu Yunfeng also believed that Master Lin was his close friend. He originally thought that being able to learn two dishes was a great value for money.

But I didn't expect that Master Lin would be so kind. After "eating and drinking", he even gave us a "takeaway" for free.

Such a good thing is a rare occurrence in a hundred years, so my luck is simply too good.

Moreover, the dish of pig head with bean dregs will be a great help for me to compete for the Thai state banquet. You must know that pig head meat is very popular in Thailand.

Whether it is for temple sacrifices or street snacks, pig head meat is a beautiful sight.

Originally, I planned to inquire after returning to Chengdu to see if there were any other chefs who knew how to cook this dish, and see if I could come and ask for advice.

But I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. It seems that my luck is really good.

"Brother Chu, you are too polite, how can I let you do it yourself?

I called the monkey over to roast, let's eat slowly, we won't return tonight if we don't get drunk!You must have fun.

To be honest, when I first saw Brother Chu, I felt very close to him and worthy of a close friendship. If you don’t dislike him, how about calling me brother from now on? "

Master Lin drank a bottle of beer in one gulp. The joy in his heart kept churning, and he almost pulled Chu Yunfeng into submission.

"Brother, you're welcome. I feel the same way. Look, the first time I met you, you dragged me into the kitchen for a tour. I guess not many people have enjoyed this kind of treatment, right?"

Sensing Master Lin's "goodwill", Chu Yunfeng immediately changed his words, and called out one brother at a time.

"That's true. To be honest, you are the second person to receive such treatment, especially my pot that specializes in Kung Pao Chicken. You are the only one invited to watch."

Master Lin is also proud of the wise decision he made last time. How could he have thought that a casual move at the time would lead to such a big harvest today?
"Not only did I watch it, but I also touched it."

As soon as Chu Yunfeng said this, the two of them burst out laughing.

"Monkey, come on! Help us grill more skewers. Brother Chu and I are going to have a good meal today.

Come, come, brother Chu, let’s go, so this is fate, I won’t say too much, everything is in this wine. "

After Master Lin ordered the monkey to grill the skewers, he immediately clinked glasses with Chu Yunfeng.

The intimacy made Monkey couldn't believe that this was his own chef. When did the rigid and serious Boss Lin become so warm to people?

"Okay, okay, brother, I won't say anything anymore, it's all in the wine, I'll do it!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

The two of them seemed to be friends who had not seen each other for many years, clinking glasses and having a drink.

Mu Qing laughed dumbly on the side, and she didn't know what happened. The two people became excited as they talked. It seemed that both parties had taken a big advantage in this cooperation?

Then both parties felt that the other party had suffered a loss, so they were extremely excited and wanted to make the other party feel their happiness, so the wine "suffered"
As the two of them drank wine enthusiastically, the monkey continued to maintain his black-haired state. He couldn't figure out why the two of them were so excited.

"Brother, there's one thing I don't quite understand. This braised beef head recipe seems to be the signature dish of Master Huang Jinglin from Guguyan. How come your master can also cook it?

Also, is there any connection between Rong Paradise and Gugu Feast? "

Chu Yunfeng didn't know much about the development of traditional Sichuan cuisine in those years, especially the stories behind these masters, so he asked Master Lin about it.

"It's very simple. The masters usually communicate with each other, and exchanging skills with each other can also promote each other's progress.

Therefore, many Sichuan cuisine masters at that time would exchange experiences with each other, and some high-end dishes would slowly spread.

Since you are interested, let me tell you some of the secrets. "

Master Lin's words made Chu Yunfeng's eyes brighten, and he immediately became interested. Not only him, but Mu Qing and Houzi also listened attentively.
