Happy private dishes

Chapter 149

Chrysanthemum Tofu is a soup that Huang Yu completed at the last moment of the Star Rising Competition.Huang Yu also learned Lu Sandao. To put it bluntly, chrysanthemum tofu is a knife dish.At the beginning, when Huang Yu started to use the knife, Xiao Xu mistook it for Wensi Tofu.However, Kou Yuanyuan recognized at a glance that Huang Yu had cut chrysanthemums.

After the Star Rising Competition, Kou Yuanyuan conducted some research on chrysanthemum knives.In fact, there are not only chrysanthemum fish, chrysanthemum tofu, chrysanthemum meat, chrysanthemum tenderloin, chrysanthemum chicken, etc., many meat dishes can be made into a plate of chrysanthemum dishes.The characteristic is that the meat ingredients are cut into chrysanthemum shapes with a cross chrysanthemum knife.Except for the chrysanthemum tofu soup, all the chrysanthemum meat dishes are basically prepared in the same way. They are all sweet and sour. To put it bluntly, the chrysanthemum tenderloin tastes like sweet and sour pork, but the shape is more beautiful.

A few days ago, Kou Yuanyuan went to He's house with Master Yan, and the master and apprentice jointly cooked a table of vegetarian dishes for He Leilei that looked like meat dishes.The concept of Su Zhai was deeply imprinted in Kou Yuanyuan's mind, but she didn't have time to study it carefully.

So, when Kou Yuanyuan heard that Gu Wushu wanted her to make chrysanthemum fish, and she didn't want to kill animals during the festive time of the Chinese New Year, she had a flash of inspiration and thought of making a chrysanthemum eggplant.

Eggplant is really a good ingredient to replace meat, with a softer "meaty" texture and good toughness.As long as you pay attention when cutting, eggplant is much easier to cut than fish.

So, today Kou Yuanyuan plans to cook a plate of sweet and sour chrysanthemum eggplant at Gu's house.

After making up her mind, Kou Yuanyuan found the shiitake mushrooms and cut them into slices, then added Gu's chicken soup, and boiled the mushroom clear soup first.Then, I went to the pile of ingredients and found long eggplants of about the same size.

"Is this Kou Yuanyuan really going to make chrysanthemum eggplant?" Gu Xiaokang couldn't help muttering.

"Eggplants are just eggplants, can't she still play with flowers?" Xiaotai couldn't help but interjected.

"Look at you, stop talking nonsense." Gu Xiaoan scolded them, and the Kangtai brothers immediately shrank their necks.

In fact, the Kangtai brothers and Gu Xiaoan and Zhao Feiran are both about the same age.

After so many years, the Kangtai brothers have never convinced Gu Xiaoan, and Xiaoan has never been able to completely defeat the two brothers.The Kangtai brothers have always felt that the strengths of both sides are not much different.

It wasn't until Gu Xiaoan said something just now that he found the dignity of being an elder brother in front of these two brothers.

After hearing Xiaoan's experience, the Kangtai brothers felt that their cousin was really amazing.If it was them, they would definitely not want to wash the dishes for such a long time, nor would they want to bend their backs under the fence.

However, Xiaoan said to let them jump out of the circle of the Gu family and walk out of their own way of being a chef.This kind of thinking is right and wrong. Now the Kangtai brothers are still at a loss.The second uncle is away all year round, improving his cooking skills through travel, and seeing various ingredients and cooking methods.Er Bo has become a culinary master at a young age.However, the uncle and their father chose to stay at home; or went outside to start their own cooking through the cooking skills learned at home, and they all have their own way of being a chef.

Therefore, the Kangtai brothers really feel that it is difficult to say whether Xiaoan is right or not.They are not like Gu Wu, who are facing the bottleneck of culinary development.So, now the Kangtai brothers plan to see how good Kou Yuanyuan, a chef from outside, can be?
During the quarrel between the three brothers, the picky elder Gu Wu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but just stared closely at the little girl in the kitchen.

Gu Wu and Fang Shulan are also culinary masters who have been promoted in the past two years. The hottest new stars this year are Fang Shulan, Lu Yuchi and Huang Yu.Then, last year in the official magazine of the Gourmet Association, the hottest person was Gu Wu.

Last year, only Gu Wu passed the qualification as a master chef.Gu Wu was born in a famous family, rich and handsome, and likes to wear famous watches, so many female gourmet lovers regard him as "the king who can cook".

It's a pity that this Wang Laowu immediately fell into a daze after finishing the culinary master test.He has no worries about food or drink, and is the chief chef of a five-star recommended restaurant in Jin City.There were no difficulties in life, nor did he suffer any blows, so Gu Wu never encountered an opportunity to improve his culinary skills.As time passed, Gu Wu became a little restless.

Until Gu Xiaoan's words, it was like pouring a bucket of ice water on him.This made Gu Wu want to know, without the protection of the Gu family, what level is he really?
Fang Shulan was admitted to the master chef this year. Fang Shulan entered the bottleneck before the exam, and then broke through the bottleneck.Fang Shulan, who had passed the qualification examination, entered a period of steady promotion instead.

The most important thing is that Fang Shulan said that Kou Yuanyuan helped her make the yellow croaker.

Therefore, Gu Wu actually had another idea, he wanted to see if this little girl, Kou Yuanyuan, could bring him any enlightenment.So, while the nephews were arguing, Gu Wu was watching Kou Yuanyuan's every move.Just now, he didn't see when Kou Yuanyuan added egg white to the dough, but this time he didn't want to miss it at all.

Gu Wu's eyes widened and he stared at Kou Yuanyuan with a ferocious expression.

Kou Yuanyuan in the kitchen didn't pay much attention to them.No matter whether they like her or not, the Gu family's kitchen today belongs to Kou Yuanyuan.

Therefore, Yuanyuan's overall state is quite relaxed at this time.Of course she knew what Gu Wu wanted to see, and she also wanted to suppress the Gu family and let them know that she was really not that easy to bully.Good temper is also for Zhao Feiran's face.

So, after Kou Yuanyuan selected a medium-sized long eggplant, washed it, peeled it, and cut it into round pieces, she stopped.

Up to now, as Lu Sandao's apprentice, Kou Yuanyuan is best at knife skills.

Even though she is in the third year of high school, she has heavy learning tasks and cannot go to the kitchen often, Kou Yuanyuan still has not let go of her knife skills.She is very used to practicing cutting vegetables with a few knives every day, which is the same as getting up in the morning and doing a set of boxing in her room first thing.These consciousnesses have been integrated into her blood as early as in her previous life, and these habits have accumulated day after day.

Therefore, the Gu family saw Kou Yuanyuan moving her fingers with a relaxed expression.She seemed at ease, as if she had completely merged into her own game.

Gu Xiaokang couldn't help muttering: "What is Kou Yuanyuan dawdling about?"

But he saw that Kou Yuanyuan had already picked up the kitchen knife and took a deep breath, followed by a flash of swords and swords, and could only hear the sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board.

"Fuck, is she chopping stuffing? What kind of chrysanthemum eggplant is this?" Xiaokang finally couldn't help but say it.

"Gen, it's impossible to go so fast!" Xiaotai said.

Then, they heard their fifth uncle yelling, "You two, shut up!"

The Kangtai brothers looked up, and Uncle Wu's face was so dark that it almost turned into ink, but his eyes never left Kou Yuanyuan's kitchen knife.Only then did he realize something and fell silent for a while.

At this time, Kou Yuanyuan had already cut a chrysanthemum and carefully placed it on the plate.Looking at the chrysanthemum, Xiaokang, who had just been scolded, couldn't help but spit.

"Damn, isn't this too thin? Is this still an eggplant?"

However, none of the Gu family members turned their heads and scolded him anymore.The others were staring intently at Kou Yuanyuan's knife skills and listening to Kou Yuanyuan's neat and well-organized sound of kitchen knives.

It turned out that Xiaoan wasn't talking nonsense, there were really people younger than them, and their knife skills were much better than them.

Gu Xiaoan seemed to be doing it on purpose, and suddenly interrupted.

"Kou Yuanyuan is the youngest apprentice in our store. She can cut vegetables and cook the stove. She has good seasoning and good firework. Last year, the three of them participated in the star-raising competition. In the last part, Kou Yuanyuan won the first prize. In the first appearance, with yellow croaker yusheng, he won the other three older chefs, including the "big yellow croaker" chef who has been famous for 30 years. In this way, Kou Yuanyuan is still just an apprentice, and she is still learning various dishes from the masters. She is in her third year of high school this year, and she hasn't cooked for almost half a year."

"Pfft..." As soon as Gu Xiaoan finished speaking, his cousin Gu Xiaotai sprayed.Gu Xiaokang's eyes also widened.Immediately afterwards, the Gu family fell silent, including of course Gu Wu who had been staring at Kou Yuanyuan's movements from beginning to end.

Is this kind of knifeman still an apprentice?Beat the big yellow croaker in the star-raising competition?Haven't been in the kitchen for half a year?Xiaoan's words hit their hearts deeply.

At this point, they had to admit a fact.Xiaoan was right, the world of chefs is very big, they have been clinging to the old Gu family, under the light of Master Gu Yan, they have long been so proud that they can no longer see other chefs.However, the brilliance of the Gu family belongs to Mr. Gu, so what does it actually have to do with their descendants?
Thinking of this, Gu Wu bit his lips hard.At some point, Gu Sanye who came behind them suddenly patted his hand on Gu Wu's shoulder.

"When I first arrived in the imperial capital, a large group of chefs came to me to kick the restaurant. The imperial capital is a place where crouching tigers hide dragons. They recognize the name of Grandmaster Gu, but they don't recognize Grandmaster Gu's son. Some people even think too much about it. Defeat Gu Zongshi's son to make himself famous. To put it bluntly, in the first two years, your third brother and I were often crowded by those guys so much that I wanted to cry, and I also thought about going back to my hometown in despair."

When Gu Sanye said these words, both Gu Wu and their twin sons were stunned.Gu Sanye glanced at them, then at Gu Xiaoan who had also been hit, and Zhao Feiran who had been standing at the door watching Kou Yuanyuan.Then, he continued.

"But, I am not convinced. Why should I be bullied by these immoral and incompetent guys? My surname is Gu, and my going out to hang out represents our old Gu family, and the old Gu family cannot produce cowards. So, I gritted my teeth and persisted Come down. Now, if you go to the imperial capital to see, which one in the culinary circle doesn't call me Gu Sanye, not the son of Grand Master Gu Yan. I think I can count on my own efforts to add to our old Gu's family. Let’s light up. Although it’s not the brightest one, I can now confidently say that I’m proud to be part of the old Gu’s family!”

Gu Sanye's words also shocked these young people who had never ventured out.It turns out that Gu Sanye, who has achieved today's achievements, also suffered so much in the past.

Then, they found that Gu Erye had also come.Gu Erye is the highest-ranking member of the younger generation of the Gu family.He is known as the youngest culinary master in history.At this time, Gu Erye looked at his relatives, brothers, and nephews with a serious face.

"I have never told my family that I met a blind bear in the forest and was almost shot to death; I rolled down a cliff to pick matsutake mushrooms and almost couldn't climb up; I have been a chef for several months, and I would have been killed if I hadn’t mastered the skills. I am walking outside, and my life is not my own at all. Maybe I will starve to death, freeze to death, and be beaten to death by the mob in a few days. How can I get married and make an innocent woman suffer with me.

However, even so, I have never regretted my choice, this is my way of cooking.

By the way, how did I become good friends with Yongmin, and I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it.I got lost in the desert and nearly died of starvation, but was rescued by Yongmin.He was an intern in college, and followed the TV station to film a program there. At that time, he was also young and vigorous.We just hit it off. "

Gu Erye also broke away from the shelter of the Gu family and embarked on his own path of cooking.Then, through his own strength, he added glory to the Gu family.So, what about them?

At this time, Fourth Master Gu also came down and walked up to Gu Wu.

"I have always felt that I am not strong enough and not talented enough. I think that if I rely on my cooking skills, I must be the worst of all my brothers. In addition, I like being a teacher very much, so I took this job now. However, After listening to the words of the second brother, the third brother and Xiaoan today, I suddenly don't want to be satisfied like this. I also want to find my own way of being a chef. Fifth brother, how about you?" Gu Siye looked at him sincerely. his brother.

Gu Wu's talent can actually be regarded as the best in the Gu family.It's just that Gu Wu's temperament is really a little out of sorts.Before, Mr. Gu had been very busy and had no time to take care of him.The four elder brothers of the Gu family all like to take care of him.When Mr. Gu stepped back and wanted to teach his son, Gu Wu was always so angry that he couldn't speak.So, every time I could only look at him with disappointment.

Gu Wu raised his head and looked at the brothers standing beside him, and then at the father behind them, who had already shown his old age.At this time, the old man was stroking his beard and looking at him, his deep eyes were full of anticipation for him.

Gu Wu watched his father's lips tremble a few times, and finally said it out.

"Well, I admit that my knife skills are really inferior to this little girl. You won't laugh at me, will you? Dad, why don't I go home and practice cutting vegetables with you, and give me some potatoes."

"Pfft ha ha ha..." The brothers couldn't help laughing after hearing what the younger brother said, and everyone laughed with good intentions.God knows how difficult it is for Gu Wu who is so proud to admit that his skills are inferior to others.Unfortunately, today Gu Wu was severely slapped in the face by a little girl.

They were all laughing, but Mr. Gu didn't smile, he just looked deeply at his youngest son, his eyes were a little red.

"Okay, you go home! Start practicing with radish, this time Dad will teach you well and give you all the skills!" This time, he will definitely teach his son from beginning to end, teach him Cooking also taught him how to be a human being.

"Well, then I don't think you are nagging anymore, you can often tell me about ancient times in the future, and I will play chess with you, so that you won't get bored!" Gu Wu said and walked in front of his father.Mr. Gu patted him on the shoulder excitedly, feeling very sore in his heart.Before he knew it, his youngest son finally became sensible.

"If you're disobedient, I'll beat you with a rolling pin!" Mr. Gu said tremblingly.

"Okay, take my turn, I won't hide!" Gu Wu slightly lowered his head, looking at his father sincerely.

At this time, Gu Wu and Mr. Gu's eyes were red, but their identities and personalities did not allow them to cry casually.

In fact, Mr. Gu has never said that Gu Xiaowu is actually very similar to when he was in his 20s. Mr. Gu also grew up through ups and downs.However, the five youngest sons in his family are all in their mid-thirties and haven't grown up much yet.

However, it is better now, thanks to the little girl Kou Yuanyuan.Mr. Gu has long thought that this grandson-in-law is a blessed person.It's just that he never thought that this girl's lethality would be so powerful.In the next kitchen, the four sons, five sons, and these little grandchildren, who are ineffective, were photographed honestly at once.It's a good face!

Thinking of this, Mr. Gu couldn't help but look at the kitchen door.

At this time, Zhao Feiran obviously did not notice the commotion here.He was staring intently at Kou Yuanyuan in the kitchen.His expression was relaxed and focused.When he looked at her, it was as if he had got the whole world.

Mr. Gu never knew that his cold grandson could also have such an expression.

Sure enough, we should hold an engagement ceremony for them immediately, and then serve wine to tell the world, right?It's a pity that the eldest niece of the Fang family disagrees, and must wait for Kou Yuanyuan to take the college entrance examination.

Soon, Kou Yuanyuan's chrysanthemum and eggplant came out of the pot, and Zhao Feiran walked in to serve the plate.Kou Yuanyuan's eyes lit up when she saw him.I was so busy just now that I didn't have time to talk.

At this moment, the opportunity finally came.She is not a great chef, nor is she the overlord of this kitchen, she is just a girl who is simply excited because she met her boyfriend.

"Happy Chinese New Year, Brother Zhao!" Kou Yuanyuan said foolishly.

"Well, Yuanyuan, Happy New Year to you too!" Zhao Feiran watched her quietly, his eyes were like deep black gemstones, always attracting her.

Then, Kou Yuanyuan foolishly said something that she used to love to ask.

"What you eat?"

"Pfft...hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter outside, obviously everyone found that the future daughter-in-law was shy.These bad guys are good, the more embarrassed the girl is, the more they make a fuss.Until he was chased away by the elders one by one.The kitchen became quiet again.

It was Zhao Feiran who naturally gave Kou Yuanyuan a step down. "Waiting for you to cook for me!"

As Zhao Feiran spoke, he picked up the plate of bright red chrysanthemum eggplants that looked like blooming chrysanthemums.I have to say that this dish is delicious for Chinese New Year, and it looks very festive.

Just now, when she heard those guys laughing, Kou Yuanyuan blushed and her heart skipped a beat, she acted cheekily as if she didn't hear anything.However, when Zhao Feiran said this, Kou Yuanyuan couldn't help but blush.

There is no way, Kou Yuanyuan, in order to hook up with Zhao Feiran, always said that I want to cook for you, I want to cook for you for a lifetime!I think this dish is delicious, and I want to make it for you!He even wrote a love letter to Zhao Feiran with a recipe.Kou Yuanyuan has worked so hard for this relationship, it's all about the temptation of delicious food and sweet talk.Unexpectedly, Zhao Feiran immediately wanted to eat her cooking as soon as they met.

Is this a positive response?

Thinking of this, although Kou Yuanyuan blushed, she still couldn't help but said excitedly, "Then why don't I make a few more dishes for you today?"

"Okay!" Zhao Feiran said, picked up a pair of chopsticks and put a chrysanthemum into his mouth.His lips are very thin, and I don't know if it's because of the tomato sauce. His mouth is bright red, and he looks more attractive than chrysanthemum eggplant.

"Is it delicious?" Kou Yuanyuan couldn't help asking.

"It's delicious." Zhao Feiran's eyes flashed a light.

"Then what else do you want to eat?"

"As long as you did it! By the way, shall I help you?"

"Is this okay? My mother..."

"At least today is fine!"

At some point, the people around the kitchen had already dispersed, leaving only the young couple who had been separated for half a year.

Time does not seem to bring them any distance.The strange feeling made Kou Yuanyuan feel that Zhao Feiran seemed to be handsome again.Especially under his gentle gaze, Kou Yuanyuan became embarrassed instead.

Kou Nvxia has been on the battlefield for a long time, and her aura of calmness in the face of danger has long since disappeared.She is just a girl who is in love for the first time, and she is a little overwhelmed.

Zhao Feiran looked at Kou Yuanyuan's little red ears, and that little face that looked up at him calmly.For a moment, Zhao Feiran impulsively wanted to lower his head and kiss her face.However, soon, he calmed down again.

The future mother-in-law, who would go berserk and mess around whenever she met her daughter, was sitting on the sofa outside and watching him.

So, Zhao Feiran coughed softly, and said in a deep voice: "I have a gift for you. When I bought a sweater, I got it in a lottery." Speaking of this, I actually understand Kou Yuanyuan's face The expression couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, I'm lucky. You helped me win a lot of money just now. I'll give you the lottery later. However, this is my gift to you now."

As Zhao Feiran said that, he took out a three-none necklace that didn't even have a packaging from his trouser pocket.

"Zebra?" Kou Yuanyuan looked at him with surprise.

"Well, I'm actually a horse."

Then, Kou Yuanyuan kept laughing. "You're so lucky!"

"Ahem, shall I bring it for you?" Zhao Feiran felt a little embarrassed.

Only now did Kou Yuanyuan realize that he has such a shy personality.

"Okay!" She turned her back on him.

Soon, Kou Yuanyuan felt a hot breath coming from her back, as if he was about to kiss her.

"Happy New Year, Yuanyuan." At this time, Zhao Feiran's voice was hoarse and full of temptation.Kou Yuanyuan's ears turned red again.

Then, I heard him say: "Take it, Yuanyuan, shall we cook together?"

"..."

The Gu family's mansion suddenly became very lively.Almost all of the kitchen is used.

The uncles of the Gu family were very excited about their cooking skills; the Kangtai brothers challenged Gu Xiaoan again, and this time Xiaoan accepted it with a relaxed face.As for the women of the Gu family, they are busy helping the Kangtai brothers to make those happy couples!

Fang Shulan looked at the kitchen through the glass window, her daughter was standing beside Zhao Feiran, looking so happy.After all, without saying a word, Su Yongmin has been quietly following her.

"I'm fine, it's just that my daughter has grown up." Fang Shulan said quietly.

Su Yongmin looked at Su Jixiang who was chatting with Mr. Gu and nodded. "Yes, they have grown up and become sensible. They may get married and leave us. But, Shulan, I will stay with you forever!"

"Well, Yongmin, I will accompany you forever!" Fang Shulan grabbed Su Yongmin's hand forcefully.Compared with the passion and excitement of young people, she prefers to be with Su Yongmin who is full of warmth and old companionship.

Soon, the Gu family's dishes were ready.The Kangtai brothers ran out with a plate of zygote, and shouted: "Grandpa, our family will definitely be blessed."

"Hahaha, good..."
