Chapter 2117: Cabbage in water
Translator: 549690339
In the history of Chinese cuisine, there were many dishes related to historical figures, such as the Xis.h.i.+ tongue that many people had ordered before, or the Zhaojun duck, and so on.
As for Su Dongpo, Wu Hai would order some from time to time. Meat dishes like Dongpo Pork and Dongpo pig knuckle were the best for rice.
This was the first time the five Willow gra.s.s carp had been ordered. This dish was not only related to Mister Five Willow but also to the sage of poetry, Du Fu.
He didn’t know much about the story behind tengyuan’s dish, but the Willow gra.s.s carp was a little sour and a little sweet, and the taste was still mainly fresh and salty, which was very much in line with his taste, or to be precise, very in line with the taste buds of j.a.panese people.
“In master chef Restaurant, what to eat is also a form of knowledge. Ordinary people can’t find such a dish that suits their taste.” He didn’t know what tengyuan was so proud of.
“The fish is fresh and tender, and the taste is strong. It’s delicious.”
Tengyuan looked regretfully at the plate where he had peeled off only the complete fish bones, and all the side dishes had gone into his stomach.
“The first time I met head chef Yuan, I already felt that this young chef was extraordinary.” Tengyuan Jiayuan had completely forgotten that he thought this young man was arrogant when they first met.
As for big stone, he was already immersed in the delicious taste of the steamed rice with anchovy.
“It’s even better than the steamed rice with anchovy. The rice grains are crystal clear as if there’s water. You don’t need to taste it to know that it’s full of water. Moreover, it’s cooked just right. The fish is fresh and tender. It must be delicious.” Big stone took a deep breath.
He put a spoonful of rice into his mouth. There was not only rice but also fish mixed in. When mixed together, the freshness and fragrance were brought to the extreme. It was as if he could swallow it with his tongue. It was really delicious.
Das.h.i.+ xiujie revealed an expression of enjoyment. He remembered the first time they met. When Jiayuan commented on him, he already knew that head chef Yuan was not an ordinary person.
“I must work hard and try to finish this month’s homework first.” Big stone knew how to set small goals now.
While the two of them were eating, the second dish was served. Tengyuan’s dish was dark green, and das.h.i.+’s was plain boiled cabbage.
Boiled cabbage, the highest masterpiece of Sichuan cuisine from the yuerong sect!
Forget about Jin ‘Ling gra.s.s, it was a dish that had been ordered many times, so there was no need to repeat it. Tengyuan picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
It was mainly about the boiled cabbage of das.h.i.+. From the outside, it was just like its name, very unremarkable. At first glance, it even looked more unremarkable than Jin ‘Ling gra.s.s.
However, there was one thing that had to be explained. Boiled cabbage was the star dish of master chef Restaurant. Not to mention the distant places, many chefs of the Chengdu school would come to have a look at it, and people ordered it almost every day. Also, the series of movies such as “kung fu master chef” praised this dish too much.
But strictly speaking, even if he went to a big restaurant outside, it was still difficult to do what he did in the movie. But Yuan Zhou could.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou had prepared the stock for the boiled cabbage in advance. Otherwise, he really couldn’t cook it well in a short time.
Das.h.i.+ xiujie’s nose was very sharp. As soon as the boiled cabbage was served, he smelled an extremely fresh fragrance, which was more delicious than the anchovy just now.
The strong-willed big rock almost drooled. Eating a piece of cabbage leaf, the crisp, tender, and fresh taste spread from the tip of the tongue to the stomach. Even a G.o.d would not do it.
Before eating, tengyuan had originally planned to watch Yuan Zhou cook while eating and see if he could get some points.
Although j.a.pan was dominated by das.h.i.+ xiujie alone, there were also other slightly inferior genius chefs who had room for growth. If he learned some methods and ordered them, perhaps the day of the rise of the j.a.panese food industry would soon come.
However, when the five-Willow gra.s.s fish was served and he took his first bite, there was no’ after ‘. He only remembered to eat the delicious thing into his stomach and didn’t have any other thoughts. His mind was only left with the delicious taste.
“Burp”
When Fujiwara burped in an inelegant manner and put down his chopsticks in satisfaction, he looked at the clean plate in front of him. He didn’t think of his previous purpose, but complained that his stomach was so small. He still wanted to eat!
Although das.h.i.+ xiujie’s expression wasn’t as obvious as tengyuan ‘s, he had better self-control because he had eaten it more often. However, his desire to eat was still very obvious.
However, it was obviously because his physical condition did not give him any strength. He had no choice.
“Stone Lord, let’s go out first. We will come back to visit head chef Yuan after the opening hours are over.” Tengyuan glanced at the people lining up outside and said with a meaningful look.
“Okay, tengyuan Jiayuan. I forgot to tell master in advance that you would be visiting. I’m very sorry.” Big stone bowed and apologized in a low voice.
“Don’t do it again,” tengyuan said.”Otherwise, it’s too disrespectful to head chef Yuan to visit him like this.”
It was getting late. The two of them quickly got up and left to make room for other diners to eat. It was lunchtime again.
As for Jiang Nuan and her new best friend, Tang Ying, they sat together and ordered two dishes each. Then, they split the food in half so that they could eat more.
Economical and practical was that simple!
Because they had divided the food in advance before eating, there wasn’t much argument. The two of them were very harmonious. After eating, they planned to do it again next time.
As for w.a.n.g Hong and haozi, ever since w.a.n.g Hong had figured it out, he no longer paid attention to haozi. He only saw haozi occupying the seat by the part.i.tion and ordering his meal. When he was about to finish eating, he thought about it again. He glanced at the previous seat and found that haozi had already left. He had probably finished eating.
If it wasn’t for the fact that master chef restaurant’s dishes were so delicious that haozi couldn’t bear to part with them, he would have changed restaurants long ago.
Haozi didn’t like pure introversion, and it wasn’t social fear.
Two hours pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Soon, the lunchtime ended. After sending off the last customer, Yuan Zhou saw das.h.i.+ and Fujiwara Jiayuan walking towards him slowly.
“Fujiwara Jiayuan, welcome to Chengdu.” Yuan Zhou took a step forward and greeted her.
“Head chef Yuan, sorry to disturb you.” Tengyuan bent his waist slightly and showed a lot of respect to Yuan Zhou.
“You’re welcome. Jiayuan, what business do you have with me this time? do you need to come in and talk?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“I do have a small matter that I need to consult head chef Yuan on. Is it convenient?” Tengyuan said very politely.
His att.i.tude was rather humble, as if he was asking for a favor. However, Yuan Zhou felt that he was just a chef who could only cook dishes. Of course, he still understood the principle of “guests”.
Yuan Zhou stretched his arms into the restaurant and said,””Jiayuan, please sit down in the shop and we can talk about it slowly.”
While saying that, Yuan Zhou turned around and walked into the restaurant. He led the way in front while tengyuan quickly followed him. Das.h.i.+ felt that there was something he didn’t know. However, there was no room for him to speak now, so he could only follow behind him silently.
Only after Fujiwara and das.h.i.+ were invited into the restaurant and served tea did they sit down. Of course, das.h.i.+ directly stood behind Yuan Zhou.
He was Yuan Zhou’s disciple. Although tengyuan Jiayuan had a deep influence in j.a.pan, das.h.i.+ xiujie felt that he should stand on the side of his master at this time.
Big stone knew that there was a Chinese saying that “a teacher for a day is a father for life.” He knew what it meant.

[ps: I’ve been to many restaurants to eat boiled cabbage. Sigh, it’s hard to explain in a few words. Please give me a master chef Restaurant!]
