As a gourmet, he naturally has to have a keen eye for discovering delicious food. There were four dishes on the table in front of Mr. Han. He chose three of them, but ignored the most delicious one. That’s why Ye Chui said that Mr. Han’s taste made him dare not be respectful, so he was very dissatisfied with Mr. Han’s very satisfactory evaluation - if he had eaten the last dish, Mr. Han should have been "super satisfied" or "could not be more satisfied" with Ye Chui's cooking skills, not just very satisfied.
Everyone in the box understood Ye Chui's meaning and subconsciously looked at the most bland dish on the table.
Old Han also frowned and looked at the dish.
A cold dish was actually described by Ye Chui as the most delicious on the table
"What are you bragging about! This cold dish looks ordinary, and you actually say it is the most delicious one?" Han Yuyan shouted at Ye Chui angrily. This sister's brows were flying, and it looked like she might go crazy and beat Ye Chui at any time.
Ye Chui glanced at Han Yuyan and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, kid."
"You..." Han Yuyan opened her beautiful eyes wide. Ye Chui actually called him a child? She was obviously several years older than him. This kid was too arrogant and had to be taught a lesson!
Han Yuyan clenched his fist and was about to rush towards Ye Chui, but Old Han suddenly stretched out his hand and waved: "Yuyan, don't be impulsive. When these four dishes were served just now, I was only focused on the other three and ignored this cold dish. This is a fact."
Hearing what Mr. Han said, Ye Chui nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied that Mr. Han could admit his mistakes.
Old Han no longer looked as angry as before, but his eyes were still a little cold. He looked at Ye Chui and said, "You said this cold dish is better than the other three dishes? The other three dishes were already amazing enough to amaze me, but this cold dish will make my taste buds reach a higher level of enjoyment. Even the top chefs in China may not be able to do it. Do you still think this dish can do it?"
"That's right." Ye Chui said confidently.
Old Han nodded, not knowing whether he was praising Ye Chui's courage or was once again angered by Ye Chui's arrogance. He picked up the bamboo chopsticks placed aside, picked up a piece of chicken skin shreds and two cucumber shreds with a serious expression, and slowly put them into his mouth.
The way gourmets eat is naturally different, as if they are appreciating a piece of art, slowly and even a bit poetic.
Tian Xiaodu, Han Yuyan, and Yang Yong stared at Old Han's movements without daring to breathe, their heartbeats starting to accelerate. On the other hand, Ye Chui still had a calm look on his face, which clearly showed that he was extremely satisfied and confident in his cooking skills.
The food finally entered his mouth and Mr. Han chewed it carefully.
Then, caught off guard, the movement on his face suddenly froze.
Tian Xiaodu and Yang Yong's eyes almost bulged out as they stared at Mr. Han's expression. The old man's reaction was a bit strange.
"Grandpa?" Han Yuyan asked softly from the side.
Old Han looked at Ye Chui, he was ninety-seven years old this year, and had gained a reputation as a gourmet since he was in his forties. He had eaten all kinds of delicacies in the world for more than fifty years, and his appreciation for delicious food had reached the extreme. He thought that no taste would be able to amaze him anymore, but Ye Chui did it... No, this was no longer amazing, the other three dishes had already reached the level of amazing, and this dish of shredded chicken and cucumber had already surpassed the level of amazing!
This was his fateful encounter with the supreme delicacy, and it was God's reward for his tireless pursuit of deliciousness over the past fifty years!
"Thank you." He said softly to Ye Chui, his old eyes slightly moist.
"You're welcome." Ye Chui replied calmly.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with this dish?" Han Yuyan asked Old Han with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand why his grandfather said thank you to Ye Chu with tears in his eyes, and why Ye Chu said to him so calmly that you're welcome.
"You all go out first." Old Han did not answer his granddaughter, but said with a bit of tiredness and joy, his eyes fixed on the dishes in front of him, as if he was looking at the lover who made him dream when he was young.
Old Han's current look was even scarier than his previous look when he was displeased with everyone. Even Han Yuyan was a little scared. He quickly winked at Ye Chuitian, Xiao Du and Yang Yong, left the box, and closed the door gently.
In the corridor outside the private room, Fang Tao and other chefs were waiting with bated breath for the result. When they saw Ye Chui and others coming out, Fang Tao hurriedly asked Tian Xiaodu, "Master, what's going on in there now?"
Tian Xiaodu did not answer, but looked at Ye Chui with complicated eyes. Ye Chui's position in his heart was already very high, and now it seems that he is even more outstanding than he imagined... He asked Ye Chui with some expectation: "How is the Hongzi Chicken Shredded Cucumber made... No, I shouldn't ask you this question. The recipe of this dish is naturally extremely precious."
"No, I can tell you this." Ye Chui said with a smile.
"What?"
Everyone else was shocked. It was well known how valuable a recipe was. Ye Chui had even sold the previous spicy chicken recipe for 120,000 yuan. Now he was actually going to make the recipe of this dish public
Everyone pricked up their ears and watched carefully, afraid of revealing any details.
Ye Chui smiled and explained, "In fact, the method of making Hongzi shredded chicken and cucumber is very simple. For the Shaoxing drunken chicken dish, the chicken skin must be removed for the best taste. Steam the removed chicken skin in the broth of chicken and mushrooms for a while, then cut it into shreds, drip the broth of Dong'an chicken into it, and mix it with the shredded cucumber."
The method is indeed not difficult, but no one can make it even if they know the method, because this simple cold dish actually combines the essence of the other three dishes. That's why Ye Chu just said that the other three dishes are the foil for this cold dish. If you don't know the recipes of the other three dishes, how can you prepare this dish
No wonder Ye Chui could confidently tell the recipe, and no wonder this dish could reach the ultimate taste that surpasses the other three dishes!
"Before Mr. Ye said this dish belonged to the Manchu Han Banquet, I didn't believe it, but now it seems that it really deserves the title!"
"I really want to taste this Hongzi shredded chicken and cucumber."
The chefs were amazed.
However, Fang Tao's expression changed. Because the dish he prepared for Mr. Han before was a cold dish, he was quite hostile to the cold dish prepared by Ye Chui. Now he found that this dish was so extraordinary, and he was naturally dissatisfied.
He was quite knowledgeable about cold dishes, and when he thought of something, he asked, "Melting the essence of three dishes into one is too ridiculous. The flavors of each dish will definitely interfere with each other. How can it be delicious?"
“It’s cucumbers, because there are cucumbers.”
Ye Chui explained: "Cucumber is refreshing and sweet, and is a natural blender that can blend these three flavors into one."
"Yellow...cucumber, actually has such an effect?" Fang Tao was speechless.
The other chefs also showed their complete admiration for Ye Chui.
How could Han Yuyan still have the anger and contempt he had just felt towards Ye Chui
She rolled her eyes, and suddenly grabbed Ye Chui's arm, with a charming smile on her face: "Your name is Ye Chui, right? Excuse me... can I keep you here?"
