485 Not That Taste!
Shang Qingxiong has almost become a little baby in his grandfather's eyes recently. This "strong general" who could shake half of the sky with stomping his feet in Jincheng Jun District seems to have returned to his golden childhood. Not to mention anything else, just the look of his grandfather looking at him was simply full of spoiling.
He is already an adult, and once again enjoys a happy life with a backer behind him. Now even his father rarely teaches him a lesson. Before he could say a few words, the old man just blew his beard and stared at him. Who can stand it?
Shang Qingxiong knew that he had the opportunity to relive his childhood feelings and become the jewel of his grandfather's palm again as he approached thirty years old, which was thanks to Lao Zhou's contribution.
Since I had eaten the lotus leaf and lotus soup made by Lao Zhou, my grandfather's spirit has improved a lot. Although Lao Zhou is not a god, he has not been able to make his grandfather rejuvenate directly with a bowl of soup. But everyone can see the old man's increasingly rosy face clearly. It is not a reflection of his life, but a manifestation of nourishing his body.
The old man's appetite has improved a lot now. Recently, Huang Sixia often wants to make a "high-quality imitation version" lotus leaf and lotus soup for him, but also often has to dig into finding various high-quality food for the old man...
Mr. Shang still advocated simple life as always, so he naturally would not pursue various legendary precious ingredients, but he thought that food was not a luxury! So, the purple rice and sorghum rice that Zhou Dong used that day became a good thing he never forgets.
The old man often asks Huang Sixia recently, Master Huang, did Master Zhou use the rice we have that day?
Huang Sixia nodded and said that on that day, Zhou Dong did make a pot of lotus leaf and lotus soup from the merchant’s kitchen. The purple rice and sorghum rice they used were all ready-made in the kitchen. He just helped find some fly-headed rice.
"So that?"
Mr. Shang frowned slightly, and his eyes looked strange when he looked at Huang Sixia. Although he had no reproach, he was definitely not a sure-to-appreciation look.
This time, Mr. Shang was there, and he frowned and said, "What's wrong, is it that Master Huang cooked? Is there anything wrong with it?"
"Not that. I also like to drink the lotus leaf lotus soup made by Master Huang, but I always feel that something is missing..."
Mr. Shang sighed: "It's like a painting produced by a famous artist, it naturally has energy and a soul inside! Although the later printed materials look very similar on the surface, they lack these things."
Huang Sixia felt bitter when she heard this, and almost cried. Okay, I didn’t even have a copy after making trouble for a long time. I was a printed product...
Actually, I know what you said, but this matter is really evil. It is obviously the same material, but how do you make the things different?
Looking back on the process of teaching him this soup before Zhou Dong left, based on his years of experience in diligence, it is natural that Zhou Dong has absolutely no private information.
But this is even more aggravated. The ingredients are the same, and they don’t hide them, but what they make is wrong. Could it be that I, Huang Sixia, is a self-deprecating talent in a single life, but she is actually a stupid melon?
Mr. Shang looked at Huang Sixia and smiled and said, "Master Huang doesn't have to do this,
Although I am not a chef, I have heard the saying of hundreds of people and vegetables. Even if I use the same stove and ingredients, the food made by different chefs will taste different. This is actually the unique charm of our Chinese cuisine.
If you could make lotus leaf and lotus soup exactly like Zhou Dong, wouldn’t you become those Michelin chefs?
I heard their recipes are so so sophisticated that they need to use a few grams of salt and sugar, and they make things like they are coming down from the assembly line."
Huang Sixia felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this. Isn’t this just saying that I haven’t learned Zhou Dong’s skills? No, I have to go find him!
"Mr. Shang, that's not what he said...
You said that those Michelin chefs, they only learned the word "shape" after learning it. Mr. Shang felt that the lotus leaf and lotus soup I made was not right. In fact, I didn't learn the charm of Chef Zhou's dish.
Mr. Shang, don’t worry, I’ll go find Zhou Dong now. I’ll calculate the time, and they should come back from the island country..."
"slow."
Mr. Shang shook his head and said, "Master Huang, you should not go. You are my personal chef. It is normal for me to have any requirements for you in terms of food.
But Master Zhou is not... If someone knows that I have tried my best to make a soup and ask my personal chef to chase me and ask me, that would be too embarrassing.
If those old friends knew about this, they would have thought that Shang Chenggang was old and he was greedy for the urge to start a mouthful. I don’t want to be laughed at by them.”
Huang Sixia was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Shang, you said something reasonable, but...but..."
"But dad, aren't you greedy for your appetite?"
Mr. Shang frowned and said, "Your health has been deteriorating over the past few years. Experts from the health care team have also said that it is mainly because of the lack of appetite and poor absorption, which leads to the inability to make ends meet.
After Master Huang came, your condition was relieved. It was only after drinking a bowl of lotus leaf and lotus soup from Master Zhou that your health has improved greatly...
Otherwise, I will come forward to talk to Master Xiao Zhou? Or do some work through Cang Yanshan, aren’t he good friends with Master Xiao Zhou?”
“You can’t go either!
Although I met Master Xiao Zhou once, I could see that this young man is not someone who can be impressed by power and wealth. Since he has no intention of being my chef, what do you think of going to the door?"
Mr. Shang glared at his son, turned his head and looked at his grandson with a smile and said, "But my grandson and Master Zhou are good friends. This time I will go to the 'that place' with you, that is, the grandfather who is worried about his grandson.
It happened that I met my grandson and his good friend Zhou Dong. The old man, I, chatted with them, talked about life, ideals, and so on. Just as Master Zhou also made some delicious food. I followed him to taste it. Who can say something wrong?"
After the old man said that, he looked at his grandson, and his expression on his face was quite intriguing.
When it comes to talking about life ideals, how can Master Zhou make some delicious food? This is what you should worry about as a grandson...
Shang Qingxiong was stunned for a while before he came back to the smell, patted his chest and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, if I were there, that guy Zhou Dong would definitely make some fresh things for me to eat. He and I are good friends!"
"Good grandson, grandpa doesn't love you in vain!"
“That’s.”
Huang Sixia also understood and hurriedly said, "If Mr. Shang wants to go to that place, I will naturally go together."
He now wanted to rush to Zhou Dong to ask about the real secret of the lotus leaf and lotus soup. It doesn’t matter that the ingredients are the same and the methods are the same. I can’t make the essence of this soup! I’m so suffocating!
Mr. Shang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Dad, you can't move lightly.
The people attending the Four Kingdoms Banquet are all us on duty. You are a veteran of China, how can you go abroad easily?
Besides, the environment of 'that place' is completely different from Kyoto, your body..."
Mr. Shang was unhappy when he heard this: "What's wrong with my body? As long as I see Master Xiao Zhou, I will be very good immediately and it will taste good whenever I eat it!
Besides, what's wrong with the elders? Oh, just because I retired, you're going to be a slap in a banquet?"
"I don't say that, Dad, this national banquet is really special..."
“The more special it is, the more I want to go!
Besides, I went to see my grandson. Who asked my grandson to be responsible for security work? You don’t have the right to stop me!”
Mr. Shang stood up with a smile while talking and said, "I heard that a few of them have returned from the island country?"
Qingxiong, let’s see Master Xiao Zhou!
