"Famous chef?" Sister Han was dumbfounded. She could actually be associated with a famous chef
She doesn’t even know how to cook the most basic dishes. She can only make eggs. In Ye Chui’s eyes, she is already a famous chef
"It is very precious to cook a dish to perfection." Seeing Han Yuyan's stunned expression, Ye Chui continued with a smile, "Don't forget, your scrambled eggs amazed even Old Han. At that time, he was not just saying that you were his granddaughter, he really said that your scrambled eggs were delicious. Think about it, how many people can get such an evaluation from Old Han?"
Han Yuyan's eyes widened when she was praised by Old Han. She just felt her heart was full of happiness. It had always been her wish to cook a dish that her grandfather would like. She was moved that she finally got her wish, but she never thought about what this actually represented.
This means that her cooking skills have finally reached the level of a master... although she can only make simple eggs.
Ye Chui smiled and patted Han Yuyan's shoulder again: "You will encounter such occasions many times in the future, so you must slowly learn to get familiar with them."
Han Yuyan nodded in panic, then couldn't help laughing. Only now did she finally feel a little proud, as if she was saying "I'm so awesome"... This cute look that Sister Han occasionally showed was undoubtedly very beautiful.
Zhao Lei had no idea what Ye Chui and Han Yuyan were talking about. He just felt that the bowl of sad and sad rice in his hand was indescribably delicious. The granddaughter of old Han was even more magnanimous. She casually told Zhao Lei her secret recipe for omelette. If it were any other chef, who would have such courage
Then Zhao Lei and the other workers held their bowls and began to eat the delicious meal, the "Sad and Sad Rice". Although no one knew why Ye Chui's meal was given such a poetic and tragic name, the taste of this meal was definitely very good and it was very satisfying. In addition to Han Yuyan's fried eggs, the taste of the barbecued pork was indescribably wonderful. Of course, although the barbecued pork was delicious, Zhao Lei and the others were not that surprised. After all, the meat used for the barbecued pork was the expensive pigs they raised, and this kind of pork should have such quality. It's just that they are not professional gourmets after all, and they can't taste the specific manifestation of Ye Chui's cooking skills in the barbecued pork, but they attributed the beauty of the barbecued pork to the expensive pork.
The highlight of the dull rice was Han Yuyan’s fried egg.
These people just stood in the kitchen with their bowls in hand, eating voraciously, and it seemed that they had completely forgotten about Gao Yuesheng and Jim who were standing beside them...
Jim wanted to crush Ye Chui this time and teach him a lesson, but now he felt like a fool. Ye Chui prepared the meal casually and won applause from the whole room, but he cooked the meal with such care, but was completely forgotten...
Gao Yuesheng also felt very unhappy, and what made him most uncomfortable was... He was already hungry at noon, and he didn't feel anything just now, but now seeing Zhao Lei and the others eating so happily, those workers were not as elegant as Han Yuyan in eating, and they liked to smack their lips while eating, praising how delicious the bowl of barbecued pork rice was while eating... Gao Yuesheng didn't want to admit that he had swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in succession because of his greed.
Jim's dishes are finally finished now.
"Is it done?" Gao Yuesheng saw Jim pouring the sauce in the wok onto the fried shredded pork. It seemed that the Tang family shredded pork was done. It was also the first time that Gao Yuesheng saw Jim cook this dish and he was full of anticipation.
Jim nodded, put some chopped green onions on the side of the plate, and picked up the dish: "Tang's Shredded Pork is a classic dish with a history of 100 years. It has been completely inherited in Chinatown and is one of Chinatown's signature dishes. This dish will definitely make Ye Chui feel inferior..."
As he said this, Jim's tone became increasingly softer, because he realized that although he sounded very pleased with what he said, in fact, few people in the entire kitchen were paying attention to him. Everyone was busy dealing with the An Ran Xihun Rice in their hands. Who even remembered that he had cooked a dish
This was in stark contrast to the previous time when everyone was paying attention to him when he was cooking.
Seeing this, Jim snorted coldly, thinking that these people really didn't understand the beauty of cooking, and that the dish he made was just a waste of time...
He swept his eyes over the crowd, watching everyone holding their bowls and eating. His eyes, which originally contained a bit of arrogance and anger, suddenly dimmed a little.
This barbecued pork rice reminded him of some past events—
Jim was an orphan who wandered to Chinatown as a child. One day he came to the outside of a restaurant, which was a small shop specializing in selling barbecued pork rice.
Barbecued pork rice is a unique delicacy of Guangzhou and is also very popular in Chinatown. However, because meat is poisonous, the meat used for barbecued pork is replaced with potatoes, which greatly reduces the taste, but it is still delicious. At that time, Jim, a child, watched the customers eating in the small restaurant and the fragrant barbecued pork and potato rice. His taste buds had never been so excited as they were at that time.
And then a miracle happened. The owner of the small restaurant was a single middle-aged man. He saw Jim standing outside the restaurant for a long time without moving, so he made a bowl of barbecued pork rice and handed it to Jim.
That was the first time Jim tasted delicious food. It was the first time he felt that food could not only fill his stomach, but also bring an indescribable enjoyment to his mouth. It was at that moment that he suddenly had the idea of becoming a chef...
Later, he was adopted by the middle-aged man and officially began to learn cooking. He was actually very talented in this area and gradually became a famous chef who was feared in Chinatown.
However, the bowl of barbecued pork rice he ate at that time remained in his heart forever, and he could not forget it for a long time. But the middle-aged man had passed away. How could he ever taste such delicious barbecued pork rice again
At this moment, looking at the barbecued pork rice made by Ye Chui, he seemed to suddenly recall the scene at that time. A bowl of barbecued pork rice made him most sad and overwhelmed.
In Ye Chui's previous life, in the movie The God of Cookery, the reason why Stephen Chow made the "Sad and Sad" rice was because of the bowl of barbecued pork rice that Karen Mok gave him when he was down and out. The barbecued pork rice contained his endless sorrow for Karen Mok, which was the most sad and sad, so it was called "Sad and Sad".
At this time, when other people ate Ye Chui's Sad and Ecstasy Rice, they just thought it was delicious, but they had no idea why it was called Sad and Ecstasy. However, this barbecued pork rice with a poached egg unexpectedly touched his mood and made him truly understand the feeling of Sad and Ecstasy...
"What a sad and heartbreaking thing..." Jim murmured.
"Master Jim, what did you say?" Gao Yuesheng asked from the side.
"Oh, nothing." Jim shook his head vigorously, clearing away the thoughts in his mind. He held the plate of Tang's pork shreds in one hand and said to Zhao Lei in a loud voice, "Boss Zhao, my Tang's pork shreds are ready. Can you help me taste them?"
Zhao Lei, who was eating, heard Jim's words, turned his head to look at him and nodded. He reluctantly put down the bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth and walked over. Looking at the dark-black shredded pork, he said in surprise, "Is this Tang's shredded pork? I've never eaten this kind of dish before."
"Of course. Although this dish is Chinese, it has long been lost. Only the Tang family has inherited it." Gao Yuesheng said proudly, "Boss Zhao, you are in for a treat today."
Although Gao Yuesheng felt that Ye Chui's Sad and Ecstasy Rice was mediocre, it was able to win the hearts of Zhao Lei and his workers. But if Jim's Tang's Shredded Pork could make Zhao Lei praise it, it would be considered a way to save some face.
Gao Yuesheng personally handed Zhao Lei a pair of chopsticks: "Boss Zhao, please have a taste."
"Okay, then I'll try it." Zhao Lei took the chopsticks and was about to pick up some food, but he accidentally burped. He smiled apologetically at Jim and Gao Yuesheng, then picked up a piece of shredded meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then nodded, "Well, not bad, it tastes good."
Gao Yuesheng's face lit up: "Then I wonder what the boss thinks of this dish compared to Mr. Ye's..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Lei suddenly saw a worker secretly reaching his chopsticks into his bowl, trying to take away a piece of barbecued pork. Zhao Lei was usually approachable, so most of the workers didn't really regard him as their boss and weren't afraid of him. But Zhao Lei was unhappy and shouted, "What are you doing? Don't try to steal my food. Eat your own!"
Having said that, he rushed over hastily, held his bowl in his hands to protect his food, and glared fiercely at the guy who tried to steal the food.
Gao Yuesheng: “…”
Jim: “…”
This obviously means a lot.
Both of them looked unhappy. Gao Yuesheng quickly looked at Ye Chui again and said to him provocatively, "Mr. Ye, what do you think of Master Jim's Tang's Shredded Pork?"
After Jim's Tang's Shredded Pork was finished, Ye Chui kept looking at the dish. There was a strange expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch. At this moment, he responded to Gao Yuesheng: "Tang's Shredded Pork?"
"That's right!" Jim nodded, a proud look on his face again, "This dish is a classic signature dish in Chinatown, and it is the most delicious pork dish. At the Spring Banquet, Shenghuayuan made this Tang's Shredded Pork, which is one of the dishes. Boss Ye, what do you think of this Tang's Shredded Pork?"
"hehe."
Ye Chui couldn't help but reveal a cold smile: "Beijing-style shredded pork is Beijing-style shredded pork. It's still Beijing-style shredded pork even if it's renamed. What's Tang's shredded pork? The cooking method is not authentic at all. Is this dish still the signature dish of Chinatown?" (~^~)
