Happy private dishes

Chapter 90

After the dishes were served, Kou Yuanyuan excitedly shared with Master Yan the feeling of making the banquet.

Master Yan just looked at her with a smile.

When he was a child, he also kept running with his father like this.To all kinds of people but cook.Cook for a family, a clan or a whole village.Sometimes, even a few days of running water mats will be made.

At that time, what impressed him most was probably the smiling faces of the whole family, old and young, when they had dinner together.

When he grew up, he was unwilling to be such a chef.He hired a famous chef of Sichuan cuisine as his chef.

The elderly father did not stop his son's future and chose to support his son's choice.

He no longer cooks family dishes, but the concept of cooking that his father planted in his heart when he was young has always remained in his heart.

No matter where you go, no matter what kind of diners you cook for.He still wanted to see the happy smiling faces of diners.

When he was a teenager, he probably never thought that decades later, he would take his little apprentice along the same path as his father.

Seeing the little apprentice showing a happy and excited expression because of his first private banquet.He suddenly felt that life was actually a circle.

He has been a chef all his life, whether he experienced success, became famous, suffered betrayal, was knocked off the altar, stuck in the mud, came out of the mountain again, and cheered up again. The taste is sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, isn't it like cooking a dish?
"Master, try my walnut cake. I'm very good at making this." Kou Yuanyuan picked up a piece of peach cake with a smile and handed it to him.

"Yeah. It's delicious, and it's very fragrant!"

At least, the taste he had now was very sweet, mixed with a whiff of walnuts.

Look at the sparkling eyes of the little apprentice.He thinks this is probably his life!
Life is like a dish.He will cook this dish into a delicious dish in the next time.

Unknowingly, this family banquet has come to an end.This is the longest meal time for the old lady in the past few months.

The old lady watched with contentment the children and grandchildren below gathered together.The old house is gone, but their family is still there.They still gathered around her in such a lively manner.That's enough.

"Today, this dish is really good. It tastes the same as when I was a child!" The old lady said in a daze.It seemed to bring back some happy memories.Tonight, from the first appetizer, the corners of her mouth have been curved.

"That's right, this master master is really capable today." His son said.

Isn't it capable?Immediately guessed his wife's mind.Fortunately, he agreed to Master Yan's request.Called the whole family back.

"That little master's craftsmanship is also good." The old lady said with a smile.

"Grandma, that little master is still a celebrity!" said the old lady's granddaughter. "She also participated in the chef competition on TV and won No.7 in the country."

"Hey, at such a young age, you can get the seventh place in the country. You have achieved such results at such a young age. In the future, you will definitely be a great chef. You call those two masters, my old lady has something to say." The old lady Laughing all the time, today she is really happy in her heart.Unfortunately, she is very weak.Her life has come to an end.

When Kou Yuanyuan and Master Yan came to the old lady, the old lady was even happier.

"Master Yan, today, I thank you. You let me eat such a good table. It is better than when I was a child." The old lady is still so cultivated and polite.

"What are you talking about? Madam, as long as you are satisfied." Master Yan said humbly.

"Anyway, I still thank you." The old lady waved her hand at Kou Yuanyuan again.

Kou Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, seeing the old lady's weak face, she still walked over.As a modern chef, she doesn't want to receive tips from guests at all.This is also related to some of her bad memories.

"This child is so young, so he has such good craftsmanship. This is the first time you have come out to make noodles with the master?" The old lady looked at Kou Yuanyuan kindly.

"Yeah. It's the first time I've made noodles for the whole table. The master is teaching me." Kou Yuanyuan raised her eyes and looked at the old lady.

"It's my old lady's honor to eat your first table. I have a present I want to give you too." The old lady took an ancient book from her son and handed it to Kou Yuanyuan. inside.

"Don't..." Kou Yuanyuan wanted to refuse on the spot.However, the old lady was already very weak.She didn't dare to push too hard.

"This little girl is tender-faced. This is not a good thing. It is the family banquet recipe written by my chef before. Now I don't pay attention to this kind of thing. No one in my family likes to cook. Staying here is like a waste It’s like paper, and it still takes up space. Why don’t I give it to you, little master.” The old lady was so happy, and her attitude towards Kou Yuanyuan was so accommodating.Kou Yuanyuan couldn't refuse at all.

She could only look back at the master.Master Yan received the wink from the owner, and nodded to the little apprentice.

"Then I will accept the old lady's recipe. If you want to eat it again, I will make it for you again." Kou Yuanyuan wanted to leave a thought for the old lady.

The old lady couldn't help laughing after hearing her words.But he didn't respond to her words.

It wasn't until 10:[-] in the evening that the family sent the master and apprentice back to the old Lu's house.

The people in the old Lu family were worried, so they stayed in the shop and waited.Fang Shulan and Su Yongmin also came.I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen to the master and apprentice.There is no signal on the phone, and it is impossible to contact them at all.

Wait until Kou Yuanyuan and Master Yan come back.Like welcoming a hero, everyone stepped forward and asked:

"How is it? Did it go well today?"

"Successful. Three tables of noodles have been made!" Kou Yuanyuan's eyes widened when she said that.There was a proud expression on his face.

After hearing her words, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, look, Kou Yuanyuan, how come we go on an outing like a kid?"

"No, this time I went out with the master to meet the big world."

Everyone, you talk to me, and I finally feel relieved.Soon, everyone began to add meals to the daily routine.Today, the master chef made braised noodles for you.

Everyone in the old Lu family took out their tableware one after another.Fang Shulan and Su Yongmin also took a bowl from the store.Everyone got together, talked and laughed and ate a belated dinner.

Seeing these people waiting for her to go home, Kou Yuanyuan's heart became softer and softer.

While eating delicious noodles, the people in the store were talking and laughing all the time.All this is actually the same as what I saw at the old lady's house.

Different people, different food, same smiling faces.Delicious food seems to work the same magic wherever it goes.Bring people who care about each other closer together.

After Master Yan returned home, he discovered that Kou Yuanyuan had secretly put the antique cookbook in his cloth bag.

Master Yan accidentally dropped that cookbook on the ground.

Master Yan quickly picked it up and carefully patted off the floating dust on it.

"Girl, how can you put such a precious thing away!" Master Yan complained in a low voice, but he held the cookbook tightly in his hand.

He didn't expect that little girl Kou Yuanyuan to give him the recipe without even touching her hands.

This is the little apprentice's heart for him, right?He thought that in the future, no matter what, he would make the government dishes and bring out the little apprentice.

Master Yan nervously opened this cookbook that had been through many vicissitudes of life, and the cover was wrapped in a book cover.Then, the whole person was stunned.

He flipped through the book faster and faster, and at the end, his fingers kept twitching.

This is actually the legendary "Jade Garden Food Record"?
Anyone who is a chef probably knows some basic knowledge such as heat and seasoning.Even recite some jingles.These basic knowledge come from the "Yuyuan Food List" on the market.It is said that "Yuyuan Shilu" is a fragmentary volume, and the first half of "Yuyuan Shilu" is missing.

But just the fragment of "Jade Garden Food List" can be regarded as the most important diet book handed down from Huaguo.

There are several contemporary culinary masters and culinary masters who have made such great achievements because of their careful study of "Jade Garden Food List".

However, what he is holding in his hand is actually the legendary "Jade Garden Food Record".

By this time, Master Yan could no longer control himself.

Does the little apprentice know that she gave him some treasure for nothing?Once this "Yuyuan Food Record" appears on the market, several contemporary culinary families will be crazy about it.This book can be regarded as priceless.

At this moment, Master Yan couldn't help the tide of thoughts surging, full of emotions.Thinking of the first half of his life when he was trampled and ridiculed, he looked at this precious book, his eyes could not help but show a fierce look.

As long as he has this book, he will spend a few more years studying it carefully.Still worried about not having a chance to stand up?
At that time, he will definitely be able to step into the ranks of great masters.You don't need to rely on others anymore, you can kick that traitor off the altar by yourself, right?

Bah, what Sichuan cuisine master?What is most likely to become No.1 of the youngest Sichuan cuisine master in history?Why is that person often invited to foreign countries for friendly exchanges?

He is best at: dry-roasted rock carp, dry-roasted mandarin fish, fish-flavored shredded pork, strange-flavored chicken, Kung Pao chicken, steamed beef with rice noodles, mapo tofu, hairy tripe hot pot, dried shredded beef, couple's lung slices, Light shadow beef.

Bah, these are obviously his specialties.It was he who taught that traitor hand in hand.

At this moment, Master Yan was almost in a state of confusion.

He's had a really hard time these past few years.Hiding in the cracks like a mouse.Now, with this book, as long as he shrinks for a few years, he can make a comeback and soar into the sky.

However, when he saw the water glass on the table and the festive calendar on the wall, he looked down at his clothes and shoes. They were all sportswear of the same style, all bought for him by his apprentices.

Look again, the walnut cake that the little apprentice packed back for him.Just because he said it was delicious, Kou Yuanyuan specially packed it for him and brought it back.

This peach cake tastes sweet and fragrant, just like his current life.

What happened to him?How did that horrible thought come about?

As for what?His life is so good now.

Soon, Master Yan randomly placed the recipes on the small bookshelf.Then, I did a very impulsive thing, calling my little apprentice in the middle of the night.

The phone was picked up right away. "Hey, master, what's the matter with you? Is there something wrong at home?" Kou Yuanyuan asked anxiously on the phone.

"Nothing happened. No, there's something. No, no, it's not me. It's something else. You don't have to worry, but come to me as soon as you get up in the morning."

It wasn't until he hung up the phone over there that Master Yan calmed down.He picked up the electric kettle on the table and poured himself a cup of hot water.This was also given to him by the apprentice.

She said: "Master, you should pay attention now. Don't always drink cold water."

He doesn't regret his decision at all.His choice is correct.Instead of thinking about revenge, it's better to think about how to take the little apprentice together.

Master Yan finished drinking the water and fetched a basin of hot water to soak his feet.

He wants to live a good life now, he is still waiting to see his little apprentice reach the pinnacle of culinary skills!
