"Ah?
Your knife technique was praised by the bamboo carving master. "Zhao Mengxiang laughed as she walked into the kitchen to serve the dishes.
"Bamboo carving master?" Sue asked.
Zhang Xuan froze.
"It's that elegant old man. He ate your Jade Palace Hidden Dragon and was full of praise for your knife skills.
It is said that he used to be a carpenter and is now a master of wood carving and bamboo carving. He tends to specialize in bamboo carving and his technique is first-class. It is enough to be proud to get his praise. "Zhao Mengxiang said.
"Cooking and bamboo carving are two different things. How can they be confused?" Su Zhenhong laughed.
"Wait, sister-in-law, you said he used to be a carpenter?
In other words, he knows how to repair wooden chairs? "Sue asked.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Of course, I heard that many damaged wooden carvings and antiques are looking for him to repair." Zhao Mengxiang said.
"I'll go meet him." Sue said.
After that, he walked out of the kitchen, making Zhao Mengxiang, Su Zhenhong and Liu Shu inexplicable. Sue
As soon as he went out, many customers gave him a thumbs up and praised him. Although Sue
The dishes were twice as expensive, but they were definitely worth it.
Sue
He walked straight to the elegant old man and said with a smile, "Hello, old sir. I am Chef Sue."
"Hello, my surname is Tao. The dishes you cook are very good." The elegant old man gave a thumbs up and praised. However, he was a little puzzled in his heart.
How was she supposed to talk to him?
The freckled girl and a tall young man next to him were also curious, wondering if this young God of Cooking knew their teacher.
"Hello Old Tao, I heard that you used to be a carpenter and now you are a master of bamboo carving. I have a few broken chairs and sofas. I wonder if you can help me repair them." Sue said.
Said the original Sue.
He was thinking about finding someone to repair those Hainan Huanghuali chairs and sofas. Since this Elder Tao could even repair antique wood carvings, it should not be difficult to repair the chairs and sofas.
"Sorry, I'm not free." Old Tao waved his hand and smiled.
"Can't you spare some time to come out?
As for the remuneration, you can name it. "Sue said.
He said.
"It's not about money.
Recently, I will participate in a bamboo carving appreciation meeting, and I am studying new bamboo carvings. I am already quite old, and I don't know how long I can live.
He didn't want to waste time fixing chairs and sofas.
If I charge you a high price, I will feel sorry. It's not cost-effective for you. You might as well hire some professional carpenters to repair it. "Old Tao said.
The freckled girl and the tall young man thought to themselves, "This young God of Cooking is really something."
His teacher's time was precious. How could he have the time to repair broken chairs and sofas? His teacher was now a master of bamboo carving, not a small carpenter.
"If that's the case, then forget it. Sorry to bother you. I hope you can have better bamboo carvings." Sue said.
He felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it. Old Tao was right. There were many brilliant carpenters in this world.
Elder Tao wasn't the only one. Since he didn't have time, he'd better find someone else.
"Young God of Cooking, go cook now."
"Yeah, we also ordered the Mandarin Duck Holding Bamboo."
The freckled girl and the tall youth had finished eating the Jade Palace Hidden Dragon and could not wait any longer.
"Wait a minute." Sue
Smiled and went back to the kitchen to continue making the third dish.
After a while, the Mandarin Duck Holding Bamboo came out of the oven.
It was brought out by Zhao Mengxiang.
The appearance of this dish is also very good. The bamboo tube is broken and cut into shreds and spread out in all directions to form a "bamboo plate".
The bamboo on both sides is longer and slightly curled up, like two mandarin ducks facing each other, holding pork tenderloin, chicken breast, and various seasonings. The color and shape are perfect.
"This dish is so beautiful, it's like a work of art."
"Yeah, I'm a little reluctant to eat it."
"If you can't bear to eat it, don't eat it.
Let me eat it alone. "
"You wish, I'm just saying."
The customers were subdued by the appearance of the Mandarin Duck Holding Bamboo, but they couldn't resist the rich fragrance. After the dish was served, they couldn't wait to take a bite. After that, they couldn't stop and wolfed down the food.
They finally knew that the beautiful bamboo was cut so fine that it was not flashy, but it allowed the bamboo fragrance to fully emit and penetrate into the dish, forming a unique and attractive fragrance.
"It's so delicious!"
"This bamboo is so fragrant, I can't help but want to eat the bamboo."
"What kind of bamboo is this?
I've never heard of such a fragrant bamboo. "
"The knife skill of cutting the bamboo is also extremely good, how can it be cut so fine."
"This dish, color, fragrance, shape, and meaning are all perfect."
The chunky middle-aged man was completely shocked. The so-called color, fragrance, shape, and meaning refer to the color of the food; fragrance refers to the fragrance of the food; taste refers to the taste of the food;
The main thing was the shape and decoration of the dish. The meaning was sublimated from the color and shape, which was also what the Chinese were particular about. Just like how tea needed to be particular about the mood and atmosphere, food also needed to reflect the cultural connotation. If the name of the dish could match the ingredients and the shape of the finished dish, that would be the best. Nourishing referred to the nutritional content. As the saying went, nourishing medicine was not as good as nourishing food. Food could nourish people. What was important was to fully reflect the nutrition of the food, and there must be a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables.
The masters of the cooking world are pursuing color, fragrance, shape, and meaning, because only by doing this can it be regarded as the top dishes.
However, few people can achieve more than 90 points of color, fragrance, shape, and meaning, but this Mandarin duck holding bamboo, color, fragrance, shape, and meaning are all close to the full score.
"Third Uncle, I rarely admire people, but this Qingyun Town Young God of Cooking, I really admire him. I think we must invite him to our Wang Family Restaurant as a chef." The thin young man was excited and said while eating, some words were unclear.
The whole audience was full of praise, and Old Tao's table was no exception. However, after Old Tao ate a few bites, he was attracted by the bamboo. As a bamboo carving master, he will try to use a variety of bamboo to facilitate different works. Naturally, he has been exposed to a variety of bamboo and almost knows all the famous bamboos in the world.
However, he had never come into contact with bamboo that smelled so good and had such a faint fragrance. He took a piece of bamboo, observed it for a moment, and broke it with his hand. Suddenly, he showed a trace of surprise, and then he used more force to break it, and his eyes almost popped out.
This bamboo, it is so hard and tough, such a thin bamboo silk, with so much strength, did not break.
Looking closely, the bamboo is delicate and smooth, just like jade. Such a good material of bamboo, he has never seen or heard of it.
Old Tao suddenly picked up the whole "bamboo plate" and poured the dishes inside into the plate. The freckled girl and the tall young man were puzzled. The tall young man asked, "Teacher, what's wrong, don't you like this dish?"
"No, you eat, I'll look at this bamboo." Old Tao said.
"Oh."
The tall young man and the freckled girl were also curious about this bamboo, but they couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so they continued to eat, while glancing at Old Tao.
