Chapter 910 Another lost story
"I understand!"

Mu Qing screamed unusually, then excitedly picked up her phone and placed it in front of Chu Yunfeng.

"There are eighteen kinds in total, right?"

Quickly pointing to the phone, Mu Qing wanted Chu Yunfeng to confirm whether her judgment was wrong, and then looked at Chu Yunfeng expectantly.

As for Chu Yunfeng, he took a sip of water and then nodded slowly, as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"We're talking about business, don't make trouble!"

Seeing Chu Yunfeng deliberately pretending to be serious, Mu Qing pinched him twice angrily.

At this moment, it is obvious that Chu Yunfeng wants Chu Yunfeng to tell him the final answer. What are the functions of these eighteen ingredients? Are they used to make one dish or several dishes?

So the question is, what is the most important dish?

Mu Qing was anxious in her heart, but when she saw Chu Yunfeng's stern expression, she knew what he meant, so she kissed him gently on the face, which immediately made him regain his composure!
"You are right. The quantities of the eighteen ingredients on these documents are actually relatively constant. Although sometimes they are more and sometimes less, compared to other ingredients, their quantities are the same. Relatively large.

So this proves from the side that these eighteen kinds of ingredients are the main force used to develop dishes, and why only one dish is developed, this is very simple.

These rice wine jars have already told us the answer, but the key question is that the recipe of Buddha Tiaoqiang I got from Master Liu is quite different from this recipe.

There are at least 5 different ingredients in this one, and compared to Master Liu's version, it can even be said to be missing three ingredients.

After this comparison, the difference between before and after is only 8 ingredients, and the difference is huge. "

Chu Yunfeng also pointed out the problems in his guess. This is why he initially guessed that the dish his mother developed was Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, but he was not sure.

However, Mu Qing had another idea: "Could it be that the recipe for Buddha Jumping Over the Wall developed by her mother is different?

Just like our traditional Sichuan cuisine, some dishes are also divided into ancient methods and innovative ones. The ingredients used in the two are also different, so the ingredients used are naturally different. "

Chu Yunfeng had also considered Mu Qing's words, but for a dish as famous as Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, he really didn't know much about it.

Apart from knowing that this dish is the king of Fujian cuisine, he knew nothing about its preparation and the story behind it, so Chu Yunfeng had to be more cautious.

"Your guess is reasonable. The eighteen ingredients include mushrooms, fish maw, fish lips, donggui, pigeon eggs, tendons, conch heads, scallops, ginseng, abalone, native chicken, Muscovy duck, and pig skin. , pig's trotters, pork, keel, chicken feet and crucian carp.

According to my guess, the first ten ingredients should be the main ingredients, and the next eight ingredients should be used to make soup stock.

But the thing that confuses me the most is crucian carp. Although I am not very familiar with making Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, I have never heard of the need to use crucian carp.

The reason why I think your guess is correct is that don’t you think the names of the four ingredients—donggui, scallops, conch heads, and muscovy duck—are a little strange?

These should be the names of the locals, but we have never heard such a saying here.

Let’s talk about the Muscovy Duck first. Most of these are called in coastal areas. Here we usually call them native ducks, sword ducks, etc.

As for the ingredient Donggui, I just checked online and found that the locals in Fujian call cuttlefish Donggui, which further confirms my guess.

The most interesting thing is the scallops, which are definitely different from the scallops we usually hear about. In fact, the difference between the two is quite big.

Dried scallops are dried products of scallops, made from the adductor muscles of scallops, while scallops are dried products made by cooking scallops and scallops, peeling off the adductor muscles, washing and drying them.

The simplest difference is that scallops are round in shape, while scallops are oval in shape with a depression in the middle.

Conch head should also be the local name in Fujian, so this is also the main reason why I made Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. "

Chu Yunfeng's words also made Mu Qing nod, agreeing with his judgment, but there was something she couldn't figure out: "Then why are the names of these local ingredients written on this document?

Why not replace these with our local ingredient names?

Also, how do the suppliers know about these ingredients with unusual names?
In addition, the last key question is, how can we determine that these eighteen ingredients are used to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?

If so, who would make this dish? "

Mu Qing asked continuously, pushing out all the questions in her mind. Since she didn't know, Chu Yunfeng would definitely think of the answer, and she had confidence in him.

Chu Yunfeng actually already had the answer in his mind. He coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said, "The question you asked is actually very simple.

Since the mother wants the supplier to provide her with these ingredients, she will naturally communicate with them. Of course, these unfamiliar names will tell them the correct ingredients.

However, the name used by the supplier on the receipt must have been instructed by my mother, and it was naturally just in case, if the receipt was leaked, then I could buy a little time.

Also, wouldn’t it be clear after just a phone call whether our guess is correct or not?
Since it's Buddha jumping over the wall, Master Liu must know more than us. Wouldn't it be great to ask for advice now?

What a simple thing."

As soon as Chu Yunfeng finished speaking, Mu Qing waved the time on her phone in front of his eyes. This made Chu Yunfeng's "how simple" statement a bit embarrassing.

"It's almost twelve o'clock. He must have just fallen asleep. It shouldn't be a big deal if I disturb him a little.

How about we thank him when we return to the capital next time?
Or should we wait until tomorrow morning? "

This last sentence was obviously meant to tease Mu Qing. How could such a thing wait until the next morning? Wouldn't he have to suffer from insomnia this night?
He poked Chu Yunfeng with his finger and urged him to call quickly. If Master Liu helps with this matter, there is no need to say thank you. Mu Qing will definitely remember this friendship.

"Okay, okay, I know you can't wait, I'll hit you right away."

Flirting and flirting between lovers in love naturally has a special flavor. It was actually very simple for Chu Yunfeng to make a phone call and find Master Liu at this time.

As a member of the state banquet team, I will not turn off my mobile phone even when I sleep at night. These are the most basic requirements, so tonight will definitely disturb people's dreams.

"Hello, who is it?"

The phone rang until the last ring before it was answered, and there was a thick and confused voice from the opposite side, the voice was obviously weak with a trace of depression, but Chu Yunfeng recognized the voice, it was indeed Master Liu.

"Hello, Master Liu, I am Xiao Chu, Chu Yunfeng.

I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were already asleep. Didn't I encounter something very interesting just now? I was so excited that I called you without looking at the time. "

Chu Yunfeng was pretty good at making up lies. After hearing this, Mu Qing couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.

But after being heard by Master Liu, I can't help but feel a little bit pained. After all, you are innocent enough to disturb your sleep at night?
Although I felt a little depressed, I thought I had a mission, otherwise no one would call me so late. People who are familiar with me know that I go to bed early, and I will definitely be scolded if I call at this time.

But Chu Yunfeng is definitely not on the list of people who are familiar with him, but he is depressed, and he still admires Chu Yunfeng.

Although it was a poor excuse, since he came here so late, there must be something important. As for what he said was funny, he took it as a joke.

"Okay, okay, don't talk unnecessary nonsense. If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I'm old now, so I need to sleep a little longer."

Master Liu looked at his wife beside him and found that he had not been awakened, so he put on some clothes and walked to the living room.

"It's like this. I found a list of ingredients for making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The ingredients listed on it are very strange. Not only are the names different from the current ones.

And the most important thing is that it is very different from the ingredients you told me before. The weirdest thing is the number of ingredients used in it, there are only eighteen kinds in total!"

Hmm~?

and many more!

What did this kid say just now?
Buddha jumps over the wall?
Eighteen kinds of ingredients?
After Master Liu heard this, his drowsiness disappeared immediately, his brain suddenly became clear, and he immediately asked: "Are you sure it is eighteen kinds of ingredients?"

The slightly trembling voice was naturally heard by Chu Yunfeng. Master Liu's expression of excitement made Chu Yunfeng's expression become a little serious.

"Yes, respectively.
I suspect that the first eight ingredients are the main ingredients, and the last ten ingredients are used to make the soup stock. I don’t know, right?
So isn’t this where I’m asking you for advice? "

While Chu Yunfeng was talking, he kept listening to what was happening on the other side, and finally noticed that Master Liu's nasal exhalation was getting heavier and heavier.

"Where did you find it?

Or does anyone know how to do it? "

Master Liu's last sentence was a little uncertain, but it made Chu Yunfeng feel a little bit doubtful. Is there any hidden secret in it?
So Chu Yunfeng told Master Liu the whole story. There was nothing to hide in itself, because in the end this matter still required his strong help.

"So it is!"

After learning the details, Master Liu thought for a while before replying: "There is nothing wrong with this ingredient list, but this method has long been lost.

Your mother, oh no, your mother-in-law must have spent a lot of effort to obtain this ancient secret recipe, so she wanted to try it herself, but as a result, I am now very sure that she will fail.

These eighteen kinds of ingredients are not simple. They are called "Eighteen Arhats" in the ancient production method, which is the most traditional and classic way.

However, due to the complexity of the production process and the lack of inheritance, the practice of the Eighteen Arhats has disappeared for a long time. The current Buddha Jumping over the Wall is an improved practice. "

Master Liu felt very sad when he talked about this. It is not so comfortable to recall this lost thing.

However, Chu Yunfeng's doubts were not resolved. He quickly asked: "What are the characteristics of the Eighteen Arhat Buddha Jumping over the Wall? How is it different from the current production method?
Also, is it true that no one knows this production method now? "

This is the core question. Not only Chu Yunfeng, but also Mu Qing, who was listening carefully, was also very curious and almost didn't put his ear to the public amplifier.

"The difference is huge. The soup made from the ingredients of these Eighteen Arhats is called golden soup, but it is a real golden soup.

The golden color is rich, the fragrance is extremely mellow, and it is nourishing and nourishing. It is truly the best quality. It is the real Buddha jumping over the wall. Even gods and Buddhas cannot help it.

The golden soup produced now is far inferior to it in color, and even in terms of fragrance, it is incomparable.

It's a pity that this list of ingredients is useless. The key lies in its production method. Without the correct production method, its charm cannot be shown.

This dish was actually invented during the Daoguang period, and the method of making these Eighteen Arhats is said to have been created during the Republic of China.

In the 70s, this practice appeared once, but now, there is almost no news about it.

To be honest, I have tried the method of the Eighteen Arhats before. The final result cannot be called a success, but it cannot be called a failure either.

The biggest failure lies in the golden soup. I couldn't achieve the richest golden color in the legend, and the fragrance naturally couldn't reach the top taste.

So the final result was that the taste was not as good as the version I have now, so I had to give up. "

Master Liu's words revealed a deep sigh and a heavy sense of helplessness. After hearing this, Chu Yunfeng felt even more helpless in his heart.

If even Master Liu doesn’t know how to do this, who else can?

Although I have the system space, I still need to watch others do it once to develop and repair dishes. But now the eighteen Arhat Buddhas can't even make it, so I am a skillful woman who can't make a meal without straw.

Especially for this production method, no one even knows how to do it. Naturally, trying to repair it is as elusive as a castle in the air. Is there really no way to do it?

Mu Qing also showed a look of extreme disappointment. If this step didn't work, wouldn't her mother have the last chance to wake up?
Can an ordinary Buddha jump over the wall wake her up?
The answer is naturally no, so what should we do now that the only hope is so slim?

Chu Yunfeng did not give up, but continued to ask: "Master Liu, is it true that no one can do this now?

In the 70s, where did it appear and what was the name of the chef who made this dish? "

Master Liu did not explain these situations in detail in his previous words, so Chu Yunfeng still needed to make final confirmation.

"As far as I know, no one knows how to make it. After all, there are many people who can make the dish of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. But the difference between the authentic and unauthentic ones is nothing more than two reasons.

One is the ingredients, and the other is the method of production.

You are in Fuzhou now, right? This is the birthplace of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and the place where most Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are produced. You can inquire about relevant information locally.

In addition, my senior brother happened to be over there. I told him that you should go look for him tomorrow and see if he has any relevant news. "

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing were silent for a while, and then Chu Yunfeng wrote down the address Master Liu sent.
