Yipin Chef

He is unmarried, and his conditions for choosing a spouse are quite suitable for his second sister, Jiali.

Ye Chengfeng was talking and joking, when he raised his eyes and saw Jiale was constantly looking at the guests, he suddenly felt extremely depressed, and scolded him with a downcast face: "Why are you in a daze, why don't you serve the food quickly?"

Jiale served the soup first, and the white meatballs floated on the green soup, with pink petals, bright yellow egg slices, and black fungus flowers floating on it.It is very beautiful when paired with a blue and white porcelain plate.

"This is the Five Elements Soup. The green ones are chopped green vegetables, the black ones are fungus, the yellow ones are eggs, the red ones are rose petals, and the white ones are chicken breasts and shrimps that are chopped into pureed balls." Jiale [-] One explained, "Food materials of various colors have different nutrition. The five colors correspond to the five elements. Wood belongs to the liver and gallbladder and belongs to the bones and limbs. Fire belongs to the heart and small intestine and belongs to the blood vessels. Earth belongs to the spleen and stomach meridian and belongs to digestion. Metal belongs to the lungs and large intestine. Water returns to the kidney bladder. Dishes are in harmony with the five elements, which is the most beneficial to the body."

Xiao Bai took a spoonful of soup and drank it, admiring: "The delicious food is beautiful, and it is even more delicious if it is pleasing to the nose and eyes."

Ye Chengfeng was used to being picky, and said: "The soup is usually served last, why did you serve the soup first?"

Jiale replied calmly: "Before eating, take a bowl of hot soup to warm the spleen and stomach, circulate the blood, facilitate the transportation and transformation of grains, and help digestion. The celery and fungus in the soup can also help defecation."

"It's really thoughtful." Ye Chengfeng looked at him with a half-smile, but couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or something else.

This was followed by two plates of snacks with wine.

"This taste is the longevity of the five flavors, and this plate is the combination of the five flavors."

"It's not peanuts and quail eggs, why are they named like that." Ye Chengfeng asked again, seeing him looking at Xiao Bai from time to time, feeling depressed for a while, always wanting to pick something.

Jiale also introduced dishes: "Peanuts are also called longevity fruit, and the five flavors are sweet, salty, bitter, spicy, and numb, which symbolizes longevity through the five flavors of life. Eggs can be called muddy, so they are marinated into five-flavored quail eggs. It's called Hunyi."

Next are two cold dishes, one is shredded chicken with three dishes, and the other is fish skin roll.

Xiao Bai took a bite of each, nodded and praised: "This fish skin roll is just stuffed with fish skin, but it doesn't have any fishy smell, instead it has a kind of sweet and sour taste. You can chew the fragrance of water celery with every bite, which is really good.

The shredded chicken with three dishes must be prepared with chicken soup, and it also has a bean flavor, which is very fragrant and refreshing. "

"Thank you Mr. Xiao for your compliment." Jia Le smiled all over his face, and looked up at him directly.

Ye Chengfeng saw that he was looking at the guests without blinking his eyes, so he glared at him fiercely, and grabbed the chopsticks so hard that he almost broke them.

Next comes the official main course.Jiale reported the name of the dishes, black ink meat, fish fillet, gourd beggar chicken, ham with bamboo shoots.

"Can ink be used in dishes?" Xiao Bai hesitated and did not dare to put down his chopsticks.

"Yes." Jiale explained, "This is fired according to ancient recipes. The fragrant ink is non-toxic and can be used as medicine to treat sixteen kinds of diseases. There are many records in the cursive scriptures, but the fragrant ink can only be seen in "Tiao Ding Ji". Add soy sauce and wine to simmer the ink mill juice, which has a special taste."

Xiao Bai finally took a piece with his chopsticks and tasted it: "Well, there is no need to chew, it melts in your mouth, it makes you want to swallow your tongue."

Look at that roast chicken again, the golden oil is bright and shaped like a gourd.Xiao Bai asked again: "This chicken is only shaped like a gourd, why is it called beggar again?"

"It is said that this dish was invented by a beggar. He stole a chicken and had no cooking utensils to cook it, so he plucked the chicken, wrapped it in mud, and grilled it in the fire, so it is called beggar chicken."

"But this chicken has a very rich taste, what's the matter with a faint smell of wine?"

"This is wrapped in lotus leaves, covered with a layer of mud and baked in the fire, but this mud is not ordinary mud, it was smashed and wrapped with mud seals sealed in the brewery, so it has a faint aroma of wine And the chicken belly is filled with ham, mushrooms, glutinous rice, petals, goji berries and lotus seeds, so the taste is rich and endless.”

Xiao Bai made no secret of his admiration: "I didn't expect you to look good, your skills are better, and your knowledge is also good. It's a pity..."

Unfortunately, you are already married.

The unspoken words were revealed through the eyes without concealment. Ye Chengfeng and his classmate and friend for many years could not hear the meaning behind the words, and the sourness and depression in his heart were beyond words. Full of interest and enthusiasm, he almost wanted to take him away and lock him up in the inner courtyard with an unknown fire, so that he would never see other men again.

The author has something to say: Sorry, something happened, so today is a bit late.

What happened really made me miss SHI. For some reason, when I turned on the computer at night, I found that my D drive was gone, and all important files including my essays and practice pens were gone. Nei Niu.

Well, the pirated text website has my text, but it is the first draft, there are typos and the description settings are slightly different from the original text, the Jinjiang station and the document on the personal computer are the final draft.All of them were lost, and the writing materials and materials that had accumulated tens of millions of words for several years were gone.

Rolling around and crying, I will find someone to help fix it the day after tomorrow. If I can’t recover, I will hang myself with noodles and stop writing.Cry to death.

13. Elm skin...

Jiale served four more vegetarian dishes, mixed with sweet potato leaves, wild celery, steamed tofu, and wild vegetables.This was specially made for Ye Chengfeng. Jiale pushed the vegetarian dish in front of him, stared at him and supervised him to eat it.When Ye Chengfeng saw that his eyes finally fell on him, his heart suddenly felt relieved, and he felt that his appetite improved a lot.

Jia Le saw that he was eating vegetables honestly and drinking very restrainedly, so he went to the back kitchen to serve desserts without worry.

Dessert is the emerald bee sugar cake made earlier.Xiao Bai took a sip, and couldn't help admiring: "Oh, I used to eat bee sugar cake and felt a little tired, but this cake is not greasy at all, there is a faint bitterness that neutralizes the excessive sweetness, It's delicious, how do you do it?"

Jia Le replied: "I made this for the young master last time. The young master said that using lard is too greasy, so I tried not to use lard, but added pine nuts and walnuts to take the slight bitterness and astringency, which can dilute the sweetness. greasy feeling."

Xiao Bai appreciated it even more: "It's really considerate, no wonder the dishes are so delicious, it turns out there is sincerity."

Ye Chengfeng felt a little better after listening to him remembering what he said casually, and specially adjusted the ingredients of the bee sugar cake.His appetite improved, and he was about to reach out to eat one, when Jiale stopped him: "Master, don't eat this sweet one, eat this scallion pancake, no sugar added, just a little salt and pepper."

Ye Chengfeng obediently picked up a pancake cut into a triangle. It was baked golden on both sides and topped with green scallions. Different from ordinary scallion pancakes.

"This pancake is not made of white flour, is it?"

"What the young master said is that it is made from white flour, cornmeal and elm flour."

"No wonder there is a unique fragrance, but, elm skin can also be used to make noodles?" It was the first time Ye Chengfeng had heard of elm skin noodles since he was born into a wealthy family.

"Elmskin noodles are ground from elm bark." Jiale explained to him, "When it's green and yellow, poor people will try their best to get food. As long as they can eat, they will try their best to make it. Elm trees are full of treasures. Elm leaves, elm money, and elm bark are all edible, and the taste is better than other wild vegetables. They saved many lives during the famine. The young master is a scholar, and he can also experience a certain taste when eating the elm bark noodles eaten by the poor in the countryside. Porridge and a meal should be hard-won, and you will cherish everything you have in front of you."

Ye Chengfeng listened thoughtfully, and silently ate the pancake made with elm skin flour, corn flour and white flour, very seriously.

Xiao Bai looked at him strangely.

The dinner was enjoyed by the host and guests, and in a blink of an eye, the sun was setting, and when the guests left, Ye Chengfeng sent him out.

When he was about to get into the car, Xiao Bai suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch Ye Chengfeng's face, and pulled it away.

"Hey, what are you pulling my face for?" Ye Chengfeng frowned and took a step back.

"I heard that there is a kind of sorcery called disguise, which can make up another person, so I want to see if you are someone else in disguise." Xiao Bai looked at him seriously.

Ye Chengfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why did you suddenly mention this?"

"Because you seem to be a different person. In the past, you didn't do what others asked you to do, but now you eat what Aunt He wants you to eat? Isn't this a big difference? In the past, if someone served rough food eaten by the poor , you must not lift the table, now instead of lifting the table, you actually ate it? Before, you had to find fault with any dish, but now you don’t pick much. Before..."

"Okay, can't you just say a few words?" Ye Chengfeng pushed him into the carriage impatiently, waved his whip again, and Xiao's servants hurriedly followed.

After seeing off the guests and returning to the inner courtyard, Jia Le was waiting for him with her neck stretched out.

The corners of Ye Chengfeng's mouth curled up unknowingly: "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yeah," Jia Le eagerly asked what he wanted to know, "How is Mr. Xiao's temper and character? Are the parents in the house? Do you have brothers and sisters?"

Immediately, Ye Chengfeng became furious: "Damn it, why are you asking this? Don't forget who you are now. You were always looking at people at the table just now. I didn't say a word, but now you are asking about a young man. , Do you know the shame? It's simply not a woman's way."

I thought he was different from other women, he had faith, principles, and aloofness, but he turned out to be someone who couldn't take his eyes off a handsome guy.

Jia Le was startled by his roar, remembering his identity, not only pretending to be a woman but also acting as his concubine, no wonder he misunderstood.

"Oh, I asked him why
