"That's fine."

Ye Zhaoshan handed the shovel to Zhang Chenfeng with a smile, and said, "There are not many men who can cook now."

"Yes."

Zhang Chenfeng said with a full face.

Ye Zhaoshan didn't seem to expect that Zhang Chenfeng would agree with his point of view, he couldn't answer, he could only say with a smile: "Then I'll call Zilin."

"Then I'll help my brother-in-law cook."

Ye Lanxin ran over with a grin.

"You...don't make trouble, come out with me."

Ye Zhaoshan glared at Ye Lanxin, took Ye Lanxin's arm and walked outside.

Ye Lanxin pursed her lips and said, "No."

But Ye Zhaoshan wouldn't let her in at ease, he still pulled her out and said, "Go and call your sister."

"Alright alright."

Ye Lanxin said something reluctantly, and walked towards the phone.

Ye Zhaoshan took a look at Zhang Chenfeng, and began to clear the table, preparing for a place for the four of them to have dinner at night.

After half an hour, Ye Zilin rushed back from the outside, not because she was in a hurry to eat, but because she didn't expect Zhang Chenfeng to come here by herself, and it would be troublesome if her secret was revealed.

But when she first entered the room, she sniffed her nose and asked, "Grandpa, what smells so good."

"Chen Feng is cooking!"

Ye Zhaoshan said cheerfully.

"He cooks?"

Ye Zilin said in disbelief, "Did you get the food from a restaurant?"

"My brother-in-law did it!"

Ye Lanxin didn't know when she ran into the kitchen, she opened the door, stuck out her head, and said excitedly, "Brother-in-law's cooking is delicious!"

"Ha ha."

Ye Zilin sneered and said that she knew Ye Lanxin's character best, maybe even the unpalatable dishes were delicious, because she wanted to fool herself into eating them too.

The kitchen door opened, Zhang Chenfeng said with a smile: "We are ready to serve dinner."

Ye Zilin glanced at Zhang Chenfeng, she wanted to see how Zhang Chenfeng's food was doing today.

After washing their hands, the four of them sat down and looked at the four dishes and one soup, which were delicious in color and aroma, which surprised Ye Zilin a little.

Ye Zhaoshan took a mouthful of food and said, "Well, Zhang Chenfeng's cooking skills are so good, it's even better than a five-star chef."

"Yeah, the dishes made by my brother-in-law are delicious!" Ye Lanxin excitedly took a big bite of the vegetables, "Even the vegetables are so delicious."

Ye Zilin looked at the two dubiously, wondering if they said it was delicious to take care of Zhang Chenfeng's face, or what.

After thinking about it, she also picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. Suddenly, she was also shocked!

"How is it, sister?"

Ye Lanxin asked.

Ye Zhaoshan and Zhang Chenfeng also looked at Ye Zilin, waiting for the other party's answer.

Ye Zilin nodded, it's hard to believe that this is Zhang Chenfeng's cooking, it's really delicious, those chefs are probably not as good as the other's.

"I didn't expect that there is a chef in our family!"

Ye Zhaoshan said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, I want to eat your food every day in the future!"

Ye Lanxin said pitifully.

Zhang Chenfeng said with a smile: "After eating for a long time, it doesn't taste good anymore."

"Woo, no way." Ye Lanxin shook her head with her mouth full, "Yeah... delicious, this mapo tofu is even better than the mapo tofu in the city!"

"It's not delicious over there because they haven't mastered the real method." Zhang Chenfeng said with a smile, "you know, every dish actually has a story, and the dishes that have been passed down through the ages are naturally the most delicious, but Without the emotion in it, it is difficult to cook well.”

"Ma Po Tofu has an allusion!?"

Ye Lanxin stared at Zhang Chenfeng with wide eyes, she really didn't know the allusion.

Ye Zhaoshan and Ye Zilin also looked at Zhang Chenfeng in surprise, they didn't expect him to say such words at such a young age.

They looked at Mapo Tofu and found that the other party's tofu was very good. This plate of tofu was light yellow in color, soft and shiny, and tasted numb, spicy, crisp, fragrant, tender, fresh, hot, and smooth in the mouth.

A layer of light red spicy oil on the surface of the tofu keeps the heat inside the tofu, which looks like a work of art.

Zhang Chenfeng nodded with a smile, and said, "Ma Po Tofu naturally has a story."

"Speak quickly!"

Ye Lanxin said.

"Speaking of the history of Mapo Tofu, we have to mention the 'Chen Mapo Tofu Shop' in Chengdu. In 1824, the well-known Chuanchen Mapo Tofu Restaurant opened in Wanfu Bridge. At that time, it was just a vegetarian restaurant. Xiaocai’s husband-and-wife shop, the restaurant is run by Mrs. Liu, because her husband’s family name is Chen and she has pockmarks on her face, so people call her Chen Mapo behind her back.”

"The head of Wanfu Bridge is a good place to open a restaurant. There are many merchants coming from south to north. One day, a 'oil foot' who came to Wanfu Bridge to rest bought two pieces of tofu and a little beef, and scooped a piece of it from his oil basket. A spoonful of vegetable oil, and asked Mapo Chen to process it for her. Mapo Chen agreed immediately."

"When the fragrant and attractively colored roasted tofu with minced beef was brought to the dining table, the other 'oily feet' were also salivating, and bought tofu and beef one after another, and asked Chen Mapo to cook it for them with a spoonful of vegetable oil. Because the oil is hot, the tofu is white and soft, and it won't rot when cooked, and the beef is fresh and tender, so the tofu cooked by Chen Mapo is very delicious."

"Since then, it has been passed on to ten, ten to hundreds, not only 'youjiaozi', but also some literati, wealthy businessmen and tycoons also came here to taste the tofu made by Chen Mapo. Over time, the tofu made by Chen Mapo Tofu has thus become a famous dish with unique flavor in Sichuan. For the sake of convenience, people call the tofu cooked in Chen Mapo's shop "Ma Po Tofu."

After listening to Zhang Chenfeng's words, the three people who were eating were completely shocked. They didn't expect that the other party would actually tell the allusion of the dish!

I thought what the other party said just now, if you want to cook first, you must have love first, it was just a very pretended statement, in order to find some vanity and save some face, but I didn't expect that there is actually a story!

Even Ye Zhaoshan was fascinated by what he heard, and he never thought that there was such a piece of history hidden behind Mapo Tofu.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ye Zhaoshan, who came back to his senses, clapped his hands, praised him loudly, and said three good words in a row, which was enough to show that he had a high opinion of Zhang Chenfeng.

Ye Zilin also looked at Zhang Chenfeng in surprise, she didn't expect Zhang Chenfeng to have such knowledge.

Ye Lanxin looked at Zhang Chenfeng adoringly, and said: "Brother-in-law, you are so amazing, people are almost fascinated by you, why don't we talk about it!"

"What do you say!"

Ye Zhaoshan tapped on the table with the tip of his chopsticks, making a thumping sound, "Eat well, every day is full of nonsense!"
