Chapter 999 Unsatisfactory
Eight imperial Sichuan dishes made by the Qing Dynasty?
As soon as Chu Yunfeng heard these words, he immediately stopped throwing his hands, his face showed an expression of ecstasy, and his heart rate immediately soared.

Let me go, this is a big move, and it is a top-level secret skill from the beginning. Mr. Li is too unkind and did not tell himself earlier. This is obviously an appetizer.

Facing Mr. Li's question, not only Chu Yunfeng, but also Guo Kui opened his mouth wide, and then shook his head left and right at the same time, indicating that he knew nothing.

The two people's "pretending to be cute" made the customers in the store laugh. It seemed that they were shocked by Mr. Li's words.

Mr. Li pursed his lips when he saw the hard-working "performance" of the two people, shook his head and said: "You can actually cook one of the eight Sichuan dishes made by the Qing Dynasty. Why don't you guess which one you can cook?"

Facing Mr. Li's inquiry, Chu Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, and began to mutter in his heart, he could actually cook one of the dishes?

Now there are more than twenty traditional Sichuan dishes that I can make, so which one will they be?

Since it is an imperial dish made by the Qing Dynasty, it is definitely not developed in recent times. Things like braised beef head cubes, liver oil-roasted sea cucumber, spinach dumplings, fish maw, and jar meat can be excluded.

Chu Yunfeng thought about the rest of the dishes several times, carefully judging each dish in his mind, but none of them felt like dishes made by the Qing Palace.

This is a bit strange. Is Mr. Li kidding himself?

This should be impossible. Mr. Li is unlikely to make such a joke with his cooking skills. Besides, can Mr. Li joke?
While Chu Yunfeng had been standing there thinking about the problem, the young man standing in front of the kitchen counter waiting for the food was very anxious. He wanted to remind Chu Yunfeng but was afraid of interrupting his train of thought.

But my hand is almost healed. Looking at Chu Yunfeng's state, he might have forgotten that there is still something cooking in the pot?
If it is cooked for a long time, the skin will become too soft and it will taste greasy, and the taste will naturally be much worse.

The young man hesitated to speak, his mouth moved every time, but he still held it back, just to see if Chu Yunfeng could think of it quickly.

The guests at the back were also a little anxious. Is it so difficult to think of a question?

Brother, can't you think about it and do it at the same time?
I'm very hungry!

When Chu Yunfeng quickly reviewed the traditional Sichuan dishes he knew how to cook several times, he suddenly found that none of them could confirm his judgment, because these dishes were not very similar in terms of the time they appeared and how they were made.

So in the end, Chu Yunfeng replied with some frustration: "I can't think of it. I don't think any of the traditional Sichuan dishes I can cook is one of the Sichuan dishes made by the Qing Palace.

You should stop being so secretive and tell me quickly! "

Mr. Li snorted just now, seemingly expressing a hint of dissatisfaction with Chu Yunfeng, which suddenly made Chu Yunfeng feel strange.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the young man finally found an opportunity and immediately reminded him: "Boss Chu, copy the hand, my copy hand is ready!"

All right?

Only then did Chu Yunfeng remember that there were still some fish in the pot that had not been fished out. After he fished them out, he found that there were only 4 in them, so he apologized and said to the young man: "You go and eat first, and I will cook you another bowl."

The young man obviously also noticed that there were only 4 of them when he fished them out. He was just frustrated that he had to wait for Boss Chu to throw two more to him. Wouldn’t it take a while longer to cook them?Isn’t it a bit uncomfortable to eat incompletely?

But I didn't expect a surprise at the back. This directly compensated me with a bowl. Isn't this such good luck?

"Thank you, Boss Chu!"

The young man suddenly smiled brightly and stood aside to continue waiting. After the compensatory bowl was ready, they brought it over to eat together.

Chu Yunfeng, on the other hand, was outflanking his hands while muttering what Old Li meant. The "hmph" just now seemed to be expressing a little bit of dissatisfaction, not because of his wrong guess, but it seemed to have another meaning.

Sure enough, Mr. Li said with some hatred: "You know traditional Sichuan cuisine, do you think traditional Sichuan cuisine is the core of Sichuan cuisine?
I just ordered yours this morning, why did I end up in a dead end again?
When I asked you just now, did I say it was traditional Sichuan cuisine that you could cook?
Listen up, kid. The eight imperial Sichuan dishes made by the Qing Dynasty are: Dengying Beef, Stir-fried Shredded Beef, Steamed Jiang Tuan, Zhangcha Duck, Dongpo Cuttlefish, Maodu Hot Pot, Couple's Lung Slices and Peony Fish Slices.

Now you should know which dish you can cook, right? "

hiss~!

Chu Yunfeng and Guo Kui took a breath of air-conditioning at the same time. The eight major Sichuan dishes prepared by the Qing Palace were simply beyond their imagination.

And this surprise was entirely due to the fact that the dishes were too simple, which simply made the two of them a little unbelievable.

Because the dish that Mr. Li said Chu Yunfeng could make was Husband and Wife Fei Sian, which is a cold dish that Chu Yunfeng learned from the master chefs when he was learning to make the nine-color box.

Dengying beef, camphor tea duck and dry-stirred shredded beef are all familiar Sichuan dishes, but not many people cook them now.

The Qingzhengjiangtuan is somewhat beyond Chu Yunfeng’s expectation. I wonder if this Wangyou Steamed Jiangtuan will be an upgraded version of it?
In addition, Dongpo cuttlefish and tripe hot pot don’t sound like very delicate dishes. Anyway, at first glance, they sound a bit like the signature dishes of a street shop.

The last peony fillet was quite interesting, and it seemed to have a noble artistic conception. I just didn’t know what the effect of the finished dish would be, and whether it was worthy of its name?
The changes in the faces and eyes of Chu Yunfeng and Guo Kui were naturally noticed by Mr. Li, who wanted to pick up the pot and spoon and give them a few blows.

Don’t you know what’s going on in your heart?

It was written clearly on his face that he clearly looked down upon these eight dishes. Do you really think that these eight dishes are easy to prepare?

Can you understand the dishes clearly just by looking at their names?

He is really ignorant and incompetent.
However, Chu Yunfeng saw something wrong with Mr. Li's face, and he immediately realized that he had indeed entered into a misunderstanding, thinking things too simply.

Although we often hear the names of some of these dishes now, if their preparation methods are compared with those in the Qing Dynasty, there is probably a gap.

First of all, when made in the palace, the dishes must be very exquisite, and the dishes coming from the palace will be reduced in both the complexity of the production and the selection of ingredients.

And as a palace dish, how could it be so simple?

If you think about boiled cabbage and silver sprouts, you will know that palace cuisine often uses ordinary-looking ingredients in a way that you can't afford it.

So Chu Yunfeng began to feel ecstatic, and immediately admitted his mistake, and immediately asked Mr. Li: "Old man, are you going to teach me all the remaining seven dishes tomorrow?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfeng drooled and couldn't help swallowing. It would be wonderful if he could learn these seven dishes at once.

Guo Kui still hadn't realized it, and was still frowning, wondering if these dishes were really so difficult to cook?
It’s just dry stir-fry. I can make several dry stir-fry dishes. I can also make couple’s lung slices and hairy tripe hot pot. Doesn’t it sound too difficult?

Mr. Li's reaction was beyond Chu Yunfeng's expectation. He nodded at first, which made Chu Yunfeng feel ecstatic again, but then he immediately became depressed.

Shaking his head, Mr. Li said with a sigh: "Maodu hot pot has been lost, and no one will cook it now.

I will only cook two of the remaining six dishes tomorrow. You must know which two dishes they are. Can you tell me? "

A lost dish?

Chu Yunfeng suddenly felt that it was a pity. Although this hairy tripe hot pot sounded like a Jianghu dish, it was definitely not that simple, and he didn't know how exquisite it would be.

After all, it is a dish enjoyed by the royal family, so how can it be as heavy with oil and spicy as hot pot today?

The list of ingredients Mr. Li gave him before included fish and duck, so Chu Yunfeng directly asked: "Zhangcha duck and peony fish fillets?"

If it were these two dishes, Chu Yunfeng felt that the Peony Fish Fillet was very good and should be the most exquisite dish among these dishes. However, the Zhangcha Duck was a bit unsatisfactory and was not as good as Dengying Beef.

This Dengying Beef requires very high knife skills, and it must be a show-off dish. However, Chu Yunfeng is satisfied. With the Peony Fish Fillet, he is actually satisfied.

It’s pretty unsatisfactory!

However, Mr. Li's noncommittal expression seemed unusual. Could it be that he had guessed wrong?

However, Mr. Li did not give Chu Yunfeng a final conclusion, and said expressionlessly: "Okay, you will know the details tomorrow, I'll leave first!"

Want to dodge someone?
Chu Yunfeng didn't want to let him go just like that. There were only two dishes, and he hadn't told himself about the snacks yet. This old man still liked to tell the truth!

So Chu Yunfeng hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, stopped Mr. Li from walking out of the door, and immediately asked: "Where are the snacks? Have you forgotten it?"

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng became anxious, Mr. Li was not in a hurry, and directly waved his hand to let Chu Yunfeng make way for him. Chu Yunfeng could only stand aside immediately, knowing that he still had something to say. explain.

"Isn't it just dim sum? It's a big deal. Tomorrow, I'll let you all have a good experience of what is called dim sum. Be careful, don't think about making top-quality dishes all day long.

snort."

Seeing Mr. Li walking out of the door in a very impressive manner with his hands behind his back, Chu Yunfeng didn't care at all and felt very satisfied.

With his tone, the cakes he will be making tomorrow must have a lot of background, maybe he has never even heard of it, Guo Kui also heard the meaning of these words, and he was also very excited.

However, he also had a doubt, and he immediately asked Chu Yunfeng: "It seems that there is still something missing. What are your plans for this international delicacy?"

Chu Yunfeng has also been thinking about this question. How should he prepare for this international food?

Molecular gastronomy-level Sichuan cuisine?
Or you can combine some high-end Sichuan dishes and match them with Western food techniques. This will definitely make you feel amazing and unable to eat.

Therefore, compared to the two competitions of dim sum and Chinese cuisine, Chu Yunfeng is really not worried about the international cuisine aspect. He can just discuss it with Hu Yue later.

"we'll talk about it then!"

This was the answer Chu Yunfeng gave, which made Guo Kui realize that Chu Yunfeng didn't attach much importance to this event, but he didn't know much about the competition system, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The morning passed quickly, and the two eye-catching wine jars in Chu Yunfeng's shop naturally attracted the attention of countless customers.

Moreover, the street is also filled with the aroma emanating from this wine jar, but compared with the previous two days, the concentration today is obviously much lower.

So everyone is very curious, when Boss Chu was saving people that day, what kind of fairy ingredients did he use? Why is there such a big difference in fragrance?
However, when someone asked, Chu Yunfeng just smiled and replied that the difference was not big. This was obviously a reservation, and everyone was not stupid, but their curiosity could not be satisfied.

At noon, a person suddenly came into the store. As soon as they entered, they shouted: "Brother, my dear brother, get me something to eat quickly, I'm going to starve to death!"

I'll go, who is this?
When Chu Yunfeng saw the girl lying in front of the kitchen counter, he almost didn't recognize her. Even Guo Kui couldn't help but laugh unkindly.

Dark, Chu Yue was obviously tanned. Although she was wearing a hat to cover her forehead, the fact that she was tanned was still exposed on her face below.

"Ah~! Don't look at it. I don't have the face to see anyone right now. Yesterday I had a video chat with Shasha and she said I came back from Africa. Isn't that why I'm not here anymore?
Then will my mother not be able to recognize me when she sees me? "

It seems that Chu Yue has been busy with her career outside during this period. She must have traveled a lot at the construction site and on site. She seems to be very attentive.

"Haha!" Chu Yunfeng couldn't help laughing, but he quickly coughed twice and returned to normal, "I'll cook it for you right away, what do you want to eat?

It's just a little bit darker, which is good for health, but too white is not healthy. "

Although she knew that her brother was comforting herself, Chu Yue still flattened her lips and shouted: "I don't want to be dark. It's too ugly when it's dark. Make me an omelette rice and add a glass of juice. By the way, I also need two bowls of red oil."

Chu Yunfeng nodded, but before he started, Chu Yue chirped again: "By the way, I went to the hospital to see Aunt Han after I finished eating. You are really making a big splash in saving people. I've seen the news.

It's a pity that I can't come back. It's a bit difficult to deal with the matter in this mountain city. It's very likely that we will lose the lawsuit this time, so brother, I have to ask you to help me in the end.

It's up to you to do this."

Before Chu Yue could finish speaking, Chu Yunfeng immediately interrupted her: "There is no rush to go to the hospital. I can't tell her your identity yet.

Let her recover again and tell her at the dinner tomorrow to avoid her getting too emotional. "

"Ah~?

That's right. Sister Mu Qing didn't tell me before, and you didn't remind me in advance. She almost went to the hospital first. "

Chu Yue's words made Chu Yunfeng laugh: "Do I need to tell you first? Aren't you going to come to my place for food as soon as you come back?"

Hearing her brother teasing her, Chu Yue pouted to express her dissatisfaction, sounding as if she was a foodie.

But then Chu Yue started to mention the background information again, which made Chu Yunfeng nodded, and suddenly thought of a person, and this matter might fall on him.

That was Master Wang who had come to the Star Hotel to teach him how to make cold dishes. He casually mentioned the hot pot base last time. I would give him a call later to see if I could cooperate with him.

Chu Yue saw that Chu Yunfeng seemed to have a solution, so she immediately asked more questions.
