King of Chefs

Grandpa Jiang asked thoughtfully, "Yanlang?"

Shi Yang nodded.

"I've heard of him. His skills are good. He seems to be able to make Buddha jump over the wall, and he also has braised chicken, right?"

"Well, this is a dessert he made himself. Let me bring it for you to taste. If you like it, he will make more to honor you in the future."

"It's not necessary." Grandpa Jiang felt embarrassed. He didn't expect that he would have a male granddaughter-in-law one day.

The sixth apprentice who spoke was named Feng Tianyu, and it was only after hearing this that he remembered who Yanlang was.

"The movie star? He can cook? Yangyang, your grandfather has a stomach problem recently, I have stewed ginseng soup in my pot, don't give your grandfather all the messy things, what if something goes wrong. "

After talking about it, Feng Tianyu was a little speechless, Shi Yang's eyes were cold, which gave him the illusion of being naked and standing outside in a world of ice and snow.

Sometimes, people are looking for death like this, and they feel that the atmosphere is not right, but they can't figure it out clearly, as if they have been slighted and even the whole world has collapsed.Since he worshiped Mr. Jiang as his teacher, it has been many years since he saw this kind of look at garbage, but the person who looked at him like this was still someone he couldn't afford to offend.With a twitch of his head, he stood up and picked up the ordinary-looking bag, "I'll find a place to put it, and I'll eat right away, the third senior brother is still busy in the kitchen, I've been looking forward to his craftsmanship for a long time. "

"lay down!"

"Tianyu."

One after the other, Shi Yang and Jiang Xuezhen both spoke.

Feng Tianyu could hear the displeasure in Master's tone, and seeing that the people around him seemed to be laughing at him, his face flushed immediately.

In fact, sometimes our brains will impose some fantasies on our eyes. Obviously, Feng Tianyu just feels embarrassed, and the people around him don’t have too many expressions, but he has imposed a lot of emotions on his eyes, as if Everything in front of me is distorted.

He was a little angry, raised his hand and threw the cake in his hand on the table, there was a muffled sound, as if something was broken, but he pretended to be careless and said: "Okay, okay, I'll put it down for you, master, please don't worry." Don't be angry, worry about getting angry. Also, I really don't eat this snack, the third senior brother has been busy all afternoon."

Shi Yang's face darkened.

The figure of Uncle Lang standing behind the cooking counter appeared in his mind, busy.Those images finally turned into delicate and delicious snacks, which were carefully put in a box by Uncle Lang, put into a bag, and put the bag in his palm with an expectant expression...

"What's your name?" Shi Yang asked.

Feng Tianyu was stunned for a moment, a little annoyed that he had met Shi Yang so many times, but the other party didn't know his name, and at the same time was a little happy, feeling that he had fallen into the eyes of the prince.

"My name is Feng Tianyu. I'm your grandfather's sixth apprentice. I should be five or six years older than you. Just call me Brother Tianyu." Feng Tianyu laughed.

Shi Yang nodded, and firmly remembered the name of his enemy. He never minded using the most vicious means to retaliate afterwards. Compared with being a silly lion that was slaughtered head-on, he didn't mind being a poisonous snake and hiding in the dark. In the corner of the room, silently observe the other party, and when the other party is negligent, he will bite the other party to death.

"Grandpa, try it."

Grandpa Jiang watched Shi Yang retract his gaze, and carefully brought the pocket on the table in front of him. His lowered eyelids blocked the vicious light in his eyes, like a poisonous snake retracting into its hole, restraining the biting light together.He doesn't know what kind of character his grandson is, but this time he doesn't intend to stop him, his little apprentice is young and successful, so he is inevitably a little frivolous, and it's time to beat him.What's more, the gap between him and his grandson will sooner or later be filled, and this time may be a good opportunity.

The bag was opened, Shi Yang carefully took out the cardboard box inside, and then opened the box lid in full view.

With just one glance, Shi Yang's heart ached.

Everyone's expressions were rather subtle, more or less tinged with indifference, Feng Tianyu couldn't help but say: "Oh, the appearance is barely okay, it's not bad for a layman to do it like this."

The lotus flower crisps in the box were not delivered properly, and because Feng Tianyu lost them just now, the pastry was broken and scattered on the bottom layer of the box, so the layer upon layer of beautiful petals like a blooming lotus flower disappeared. , or a corner is missing, scattered in the box like broken flowers and willows.This kind of appearance is nothing to ordinary families, just pick up what can be eaten and eat it, and throw away the inedible.But in a family like Grandpa Jiang, it would be a real failure.

Yan Lang packed a total of four boxes, Shi Yang took them out one by one and opened them, and finally found two complete lotus flower cakes in the middle box.

Layers of golden meringues open like blooming lotus petals, and the red bean paste filling in the middle is like the stamen in the middle of the lotus, quietly placed on the translucent oil-absorbing paper, and the lights above the head fall down At that moment, because of too many petals, there will be a dizzy illusion, as if seeing June lotus drifting on the blue pond, insects and frogs, a warm breeze blows, and the petals open. The lotus stamens are fragrant.

"It's beautiful, and it's very delicate."

"Well, I put my heart into it. Can the petals have thirty layers? It's a top-notch craftsmanship."

Most of the people sitting here were experts, and immediately began to evaluate, just looking at the appearance, everyone gave a compliment.

Feng Tianyu curled his lips. He also thought that the shape of this lotus flower cake was very good, but sometimes making it beautifully did not mean it was delicious. Moreover, such a superb craftsmanship was learned by an actor, he felt that it was a waste of money.

Grandpa Jiang is a connoisseur of goods, and after a glance, he said: "This ability has been passed down by Lao Zhao, right? I know that lotus cakes can be made like this. It's Lao Zhao's wish, and the craftsmanship is here. Successor, this is a good thing."

"Uncle Lang didn't worship Mr. Zhao as his teacher, he used a few ancient recipes in exchange."

"Ancient recipe?" Grandpa Jiang was surprised. It is said that none of Lao Zhao's apprentices can make lotus cakes of this level, but they were learned by an outsider?It is estimated that Lao Zhao is vomiting blood when he sleeps at night.

"Well, I have eaten the chrysanthemum cake made by that ancient recipe. It is always delicious. Next time, I will ask Uncle Lang to make it and bring it to you."

"Okay!" Grandpa Jiang was very happy. The ancient recipe that even Old Zhao could fall in love with must be extraordinary.

"Grandpa, try this, I think it's even more delicious than Mr. Zhao's." Shi Yang carefully took out one of the perfect lotus flower cakes and handed it to grandpa.

"No way." Grandpa Jiang thought it was impossible, but after thinking about it, maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When it comes to pastries, Lao Zhao is really the only person in the world who can be called a master.

"Try it." Shi Yang put the lotus cake on his grandfather's mouth as if offering a treasure.

Grandpa Jiang took the lotus cake and pinched it with his thumb and forefinger. The movement was very gentle and careful. The delicate and small lotus cake would feel very weak for a big man like him to hold it, and he was afraid that it would be crushed.Such a small lotus flower cake is also Lao Zhao's unique skill. It is big enough for a woman to eat in one bite, but he has not neglected any details. You must know that once the thing is small, it will be difficult to make, or there are fewer petals, or the filling is not enough. In short, the only one who can have both and is so perfect is Lao Zhao, who has been consistent for more than 30 years.

The lotus cake was put into his mouth in one mouthful. Grandpa Jiang chewed slowly with half-closed eyes, swallowed, and then opened his eyes, with an inexplicable light shining in them. A good one was put into the mouth and chewed slowly.

Shi Yang watched helplessly, subconsciously biting his lower lip, very nervous.

Although he has confidence in Uncle Lang's lotus flower crisps, the person sitting in front of him is the master of Huaguo's culinary arts circle. His tricky tongue is above him, and any problem in the food will be tasted by that tongue.

Everyone also watched helplessly.

They are curious about what kind of taste an actor can make the dim sum, and wonder if such a delicate dim sum tastes equally unique.

Even Feng Tianyu looked intently at his master's mouth, viciously expecting an evaluation that was nothing more than that.

Finally, the beautiful woman who opened the door for Shi Yang at the beginning couldn't help but said: "Old Jiang, don't be a snob, tell me quickly, don't you see that everyone is waiting in a hurry?"

Shi Yang glanced at the beautiful woman.

Strictly speaking, this person...he should call grandma.

Shi Yang's grandma left very early, and it has been 16 years now. Shi Yang doesn't have any special memories of his own grandma. He only vaguely remembers that he was a very gentle old man.Then ten years ago, this person appeared next to grandpa. At that time, she was only 28 or 30 years old. She was young and beautiful, and she was almost [-] years younger than Grandpa Jiang. It was a typical year-end relationship.The children of the family would definitely not agree to this age gap, and Grandpa Jiang didn't say that he would marry someone into the house, but just kept him outside, and he didn't even live in this house.Six years ago, Shi Yang's mother died of illness, and the sad incident of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man made Grandpa Jiang seriously ill, and this woman officially lived in this house.Although the family still wanted to drive her away after that, Grandpa Jiang began to protect her. Since he said that people want to live in this house, they will not live outside. Grandpa Jiang is the pillar of the family. There was no other way, so he accepted the embarrassing identity of the other party by default.

For this step-grandmother, Shi Yang has disregarded her from the very beginning. He will not deliberately show embarrassment to her, but just choose to ignore her, just like air. From the very beginning, his attitude It hasn't changed.

I saw someone again today, I don’t know what happened, maybe I have tasted the taste of love, I somehow believed in the existence of Wangnianlian, so I took a second look at this step-grandmother, but that’s all , The other party's young identity is really embarrassing.

Grandpa Jiang swallowed the lotus cake in his mouth, looked around, and said, "Why don't you try it too."

Everyone stretched out their hands one after another, they were already curious.

Although Shi Yang is their junior, the rice he eats since childhood is different from theirs. In addition, there is such a grandfather who is a chef and is famous for his picky mouth.Leaving aside who made this thing, it wouldn't be too bad if he could use it to honor his grandfather's dim sum.

There were not many desserts, but there were a lot of people in the room, and one of them was quickly exhausted. Even Feng Tianyu took a lotus flower cake with more than half of the puff pastry petals broken.

Adults eat the outer skin carefully first, and eat it in your mouth in one bite. It is not crispy, full of fragrance, and the saliva melts as soon as it touches it. It is absolutely the best meringue.

The two children in the room, who were Shi Yang's nephews, didn't pay much attention. They swallowed the lotus cake in their mouths in one gulp while distasteful about the beauty of the lotus cake.

When the adults asked them if they were delicious, the children nodded sharply, and their eyes fell on the box of snacks, their eyes were shining with green light, and they rushed to snatch two boxes at the same time, and ate the puff pastry that fell in the box. up.

Is it so delicious?

After all, he is a member of God of Cooking's family. He is not powerful enough, so he won't be short of children if he eats it. What is this?

The adults simply put the lotus crisps into their mouths.The strong aroma of red bean paste explodes in the mouth in an instant, smooth and tender, the taste of red bean paste alone is good, I don’t know what else is put in it, there is a special aroma, similar to the aroma of dried fruit , there is also a faint lotus fragrance, all kinds of complex fragrances explode on the tip of the tongue, and the wave after wave of different fragrances like waves completely conquered their taste buds, and they couldn't even speak for a while.

This, this, this is too delicious, right?

"How is it?" Grandpa Jiang asked, thankful that he was quick to attack, didn't you see these people couldn't eat enough, did they have green eyes?

"good to eat!"

"The meringue is crisp enough, the filling is soft and delicious, absolutely top-grade."

"It's a pity that I only ate one, and I still haven't eaten enough."

"Yes."

"Yangyang, did Yan Lang really do this?" Someone couldn't help asking.In his opinion, this dim sum requires a lot of experience. From making the filling to kneading the dough, every step is strictly controlled. Some small mistakes may cause a huge gap, and the taste will be completely different.If it is a dim sum master like Mr. Zhao, he takes it for granted. It is a skill that has been honed over time. Every day, at least a pot of noodles is made. All the measurements and scales are engraved in the bones and blood.However, this was made by an actor, and it was made by the kind of actor who is very busy when he hears it. It is hard for him to imagine that this is the skilled finished product of the other party, or the best made occasionally, or the latter.

Feng Tianyu was particularly silent after eating the dim sum. Even if the taste had been broken due to his own negligence, he had to admit that it was a master-level dim sum.

Even he can't reach this level. To be honest, he is a little embarrassed now, and even wants to minimize his sense of existence.

"Tianyu, tell me." Grandpa Jiang spoke up, he planned to beat and beat his little apprentice, he was getting more and more difficult to discipline recently, and he was about to go to the house.

Being called out suddenly, Feng Tianyu was stunned for a moment, his ears turned red under the eyes of everyone, and blood slowly spread to his face.He smiled awkwardly, and said: "The taste is strong and fragrant. There are no less than ten kinds of ingredients from the dough to the filling, and there should be some special treatment to make the filling soft and smooth. The texture of the meringue The production method should be the true biography of Mr. Zhao, but there are also some minor changes to make it more crispy and delicious. This dim sum is slightly better than Mr. Zhao's, and it really stands out from the blue."

Grandpa Jiang nodded. The character of his little apprentice is still good, otherwise he would not be accepted as a disciple.It's just that in the past two years, with rapid progress, being ruthlessly sought after by others, it is unavoidable to be smug, and lose one's own roots. This big taboo, "Just remember, every mountain is as high as one mountain, not everything needs a reputation to be good, you Do you still remember what kind of mood you used to participate in the competition?"

Feng Tianyu is a smart man, he knows everything. He nodded in shame, and looked at Shi Yang: "I'm superficial. The dim sum made by Mr. Yan is indeed a masterpiece. There are many things that I can learn from."

Shi Yang waved his hands, and there was a smile in his eyes. He accepted Feng Tianyu's apology, and let go of the anger in his heart.

He finally knew that Uncle Lang was his own villain, he would be terribly angry if anyone provoked him even a little bit, and if anyone praised him, it would make him happier than boasting himself.

Grandpa Jiang was in a good mood after eating such an excellent dim sum on New Year's Eve, and said without thinking, "Is Yan Lang still in the capital? Why don't you call him over and celebrate the New Year together."

Before the words fell, everyone was silent for a while.What's the matter, old man?Seeing someone you've never met before, just because the other party gave you a snack and you called them over to celebrate the New Year?Although it is said that this dim sum is really top-quality, the old man is not such a person, is he?In particular, why do you feel that when he said these words to his grandson, he still had such a flattering taste?

The smile on Shi Yang's face immediately widened, like a rare sunny day in mid-winter, the sun was hanging in the sky, falling on his body, his face was warm, very comfortable.

This was the first time Shi Yang showed such a smile in front of them, he looked like a well-behaved child, making people feel a little soft-hearted for no reason.

"Well, Grandpa, I'll call him."

Grandpa Jiang is a talented person, so he forgot that that person was his granddaughter-in-law. It was too late when he finally realized that Shi Yang's eyes were watery, and it was the first time he had met him. He laughed like this.

The distance between grandparents and grandchildren seems to disappear without a trace at this moment and become intimate.

I couldn't say what I wanted to say, it was too uncomfortable to be stuck in my throat, I gritted my teeth, and swallowed it with force.

That's fine, no matter whether that person is a man or a woman, as long as the grandson is happy.I live my life by myself, fortunately only I know whether I am happy or not, a person who has stepped into the coffin with half a foot can't just rely on his seniority to do some self-righteous things, that's fine, as long as that person's His character is not bad, he is willing to hold up a piece of sky for these two children, as long as they are happy.
