Old Liu was not discouraged when he heard Chen Feng's rejection.He directly stated his thoughts and said: "Master Chen, I had the honor to taste your handicraft in your restaurant once before, and it was more than twice as high as mine. I admire your handicraft very much, so I want to learn from you How about this, just let me observe with you today, I will worship you as my teacher!"
Lao Liu has a very high understanding of cooking.He thought that if he could observe it once, basically he would be able to learn a lot of the secrets of Chen Feng's cooking.The request of apprenticeship is just a matter of course, because he has seen similar craftsmen with mentors before, and they regard mentorship as extremely important. If he asks for apprenticeship, it is equivalent to treating Chen Feng as his father, and Chen Feng will naturally give in. Teach each other.
Lao Liu has been in this business for 30 to [-] years, and he is also one of the best chefs in Shucheng.But he is not satisfied with the status quo, he is also eager to hit the throne of the God of Cookery in the country, so he cherishes all opportunities to learn.
But Chen Feng is not a culinary artist with a teacher, Chen Feng took a look at this old Liu's face.Looking at Yuesi's 50-year-old appearance, the chef's hat on his head is extremely high, which shows that his status in the chef world is naturally not low.Such a person who has already achieved extremely high achievements in this industry actually wants to worship himself as a teacher, but Chen Feng really has a hard time and can't tell.In fact, he doesn't have any cooking skills. His cooking skills are limited to the "Complete Home Cooking" bought in the bookstore in the town, so he really has nothing to teach.
Chen Feng still shook his head very apologetically and said: "It's not possible, Master Liu. My family's cooking skills are taught in a single line, and I will pass it on to my son after I finish this." Chen Feng made up another lie.
After the chef surnamed Liu heard it, he shook his head and started his work.
These cooks felt that Chen Feng's skills were superior to those of them, so they didn't cherish themselves like Chen Feng. They quickly prepared a few appetizers and fried three vegetarian dishes.All their operations were seen by Chen Feng.
Since Chen Feng began to practice, his memory and learning ability have also risen sharply. Although these chefs' operations are dazzling, they have become slow motion in Chen Feng's eyes. After Chen Feng remembered these operations, he still remembered them in his mind. will reproduce.Not long after, he had already figured out the previous dishes of these chefs. If Chen Feng was allowed to cook those few dishes now, Chen Feng would be able to cook them as well as they did.
Although they cooked a few vegetarian dishes, by analogy, Chen Feng was able to apply their cooking methods to his own dishes.
These chefs really didn't expect that they could not steal the teacher, but Chen Feng succeeded in stealing the teacher.
Just now that old Liu was still carrying a plate of lettuce that he had just fried, walked up to Chen Feng and said, "Master Chen, did you just see how I can improve my technique?" Undeterred, he wanted to deduct some knowledge from Chen Feng.
But Chen Feng didn't know this, Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "Very good, very good."
That old Liu seemed to be recognized, and said happily: "Thank you, Master Chen, for your guidance."
Chen Feng's head was full of question marks, what did he point out?
These chefs finally finished their work, and Chen Feng took all his work out of the bag.
You can't stop for a moment, you have to make your first dish before the appetizers made by the chefs just now, so that you can connect.Chen Feng actually started to use his true energy to make himself faster and make the fire more intense.
While cooking, Chen Feng also sold the few tricks he had just secretly learned. Sure enough, the cooked food was not only delicious because of the black pork, but also had a hint of the essence of cooking skills.Now the ingredients of this dish are high-quality, and it is fried with a lot of bells, plus Chen Feng's cooking skills, it can't be too perfect.When it's served out in a while, it can surprise everyone!
Only now did Chen Feng feel that it was necessary to study cooking for a period of time. He could not get much improvement by relying on ingredients and kitchen utensils alone.
Chen Feng handed the fried dishes to the waiter and asked them to bring them out.Now there is only the last hot pot left, the chefs have already prepared the other side dishes of the hot pot, and they are waiting for Chen Feng's hot pot bottom.
Chen Feng took out the chafing dish seasoning that he had bought in the supermarket for 10 yuan this morning from his bag, and poured it into the bell.Then take out the burnt charcoal and put it into the opening under the bell.Chen Feng has now tacitly accepted that the opening is for putting charcoal.Finally, pour an appropriate amount of boiling water into the bell-filled cauldron, and a hot pot bottom worth 1998 yuan is ready.
Chen Feng added another handful of charcoal, and at the same time stimulated his true energy to make the fire burn quickly. After boiling the bottom of the pot, he prepared to put the bottom of the pot on the table himself.
The bottom of the pot doesn't matter, the most valuable thing is the pot.Chen Feng didn't worry about letting his precious hot pot Zhong Qingding out of his sight. After all, this was not his shop. There were five or six grown-up children watching for him. If someone walked away, he would suffer a big loss up!
Chen Feng walked to the living room in the garden with a bell full of pot bottoms.
When Liu Yuesheng and a few other guests were full of praise for the few dishes Chen Feng had just cooked, Chen Feng walked into the living room with a bell in hand.
Liu Yuesheng quickly stood up and said, "Why are you bothering Master Chen to serve the food yourself? Isn't there a waiter?"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "This is a hard dish! I have to treat you personally!"
An old man in his sixties at the dining table, wearing a very comfortable Tang suit, looked up at the exchange between the two of them, and suddenly his attention shifted to the bell in Chen Feng's hand.
After Chen Feng brought the bell to the table, other guests began to cook meat in the bottom of the tumbling pot. The old man was still staring at the uniquely shaped hot pot.
Liu Yuesheng said to him: "Mr. Yi, eat quickly! The shape of this hot pot is very unique, but you can't get enough just looking at it!"
The old man suddenly asked: "Yuesheng, is this hot pot from yours or from Master Chen?"
Chen Feng was naturally very nervous when he heard that the old man had turned his attention to his own Zhong Qingding, and quickly said: "I brought this here."
The old man pondered for a while and said, "I'll offer 300 million, can you sell me your hot pot?"
Chapter 83 Mr. Yi
Chapter 83 Mr. Yi
300!Buying a tripod for hot pot, if the bidder is not a fool, then there must be something tricky about it.How can Mr. Yi, who can say in one breath and took out 300 million, be a fool.Everyone here is not a fool. After Mr. Yi said this, he immediately stopped his chopsticks and looked intently at the cauldron used as a hot pot.
The shape of this tripod is very strange, there is even a hole below it for putting charcoal, it is estimated that it is specially made for eating hot pot.The material of the tripod is also the bronze material that is often used in antique tripods, but the style is antique.But if that's all, how could Mr. Yi, who is an expert in antiques, pay 300 million yuan to buy this tripod?
The few present here are all experts in the field of literature and games, and each of these experts has their own specialties.Some specialize in calligraphy and painting, some in gold and stone, and some in woodware... Only Mr. Yi has dabbled in all aspects, especially in the Taoist culture such as the Book of Changes and Bagua, as well as Taoist supplies.
Several experts were a little surprised when they heard that Mr. Yi was going to bid 300 million yuan for the hot pot tripod.At first glance, they didn't find anything strange about the cauldron, but they were all experts, and they all took out magnifying glasses from their pockets. They didn't care that the flame was still burning in the cauldron, so they leaned forward to observe.
The reason why Liu Yuesheng invited these experts to dinner was to ask them to appraise some of the antiques he had recently bought.Since Liu Yuesheng started mining to earn money, in order to get rid of the word nouveau riche and enter the upper class, he has invested a lot of money. Investing in antiques is naturally one of the ways for him to enter the upper class.Being invited by Liu Yuesheng with money, it is natural to prepare some things for the appraisal.
Seeing that his bid had attracted the attention of his peers, Mr. Yi looked at Chen Feng whose expression was still calm.He didn't see any expression from Chen Feng's expression, even after hearing the number 300 million, Chen Feng didn't show much expression, he just raised his eyebrows slightly.So he asked again: "Master Chen, what do you think? If it's not enough, I can add more!"
When everyone heard this, they were amazed.He continued to study the hot pot cauldron again.They really didn't see that apart from its unique shape, there was nothing worthy of Mr. Yi's bid.
When Chen Feng heard that this person wanted to pay for his own bell, he was a little surprised, but he immediately restrained his expression.Chen Feng is not short of money, and he doesn't have anything to spend money on. To open a restaurant with a high profit in this place, he doesn't seem to have any big pursuits.There is no need to sell your secrets because of these millions of dollars.Who knows if this guy really saw something or just thought he looked good!
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I don't sell this thing!"
Mr. Yi asked, "Aren't you going to sell it for how much money?"
Chen Feng said firmly: "No amount of money will be sold!"
Seeing that Chen Feng was determined, Mr. Yi no longer insisted on buying it.Although Liu Yuesheng really wanted to help Mr. Yi buy this thing to please Mr. Yi, but Chen Feng said that he didn't plan to sell it for how much money he would pay. !If he offended him, he probably wouldn't be able to eat such a delicious meal in the future.As an old gourmet, Liu Yuesheng can naturally weigh which is more important. Eating is always needed to satisfy the appetite, but in fact, he doesn't like these things like Wenwan. He just wants to please Mr. Yi to get the favor of this big man in the literary and entertainment industry. It is only recognized that it is possible to integrate into the upper class.
But after such an incident, everyone was not in the mood to eat. The few experts who didn't see what was going on were still observing with a magnifying glass. They felt that if they didn't find something, they would Wouldn't it be a waste of money to eat in front of this nouveau riche?In order to justify their names, these people started talking nonsense to this Dan Ding.
"This thing has a unique shape. The age cannot be observed here. According to my guess, this should be an ancient incense burner! The bottom is used to burn charcoal fire, and some incense can also be placed on it. After the charcoal fire is heated, the smoke The smell of incense can be released!"
"Old Gao, I think this thing should be a kind of hot pot used by nobles in ancient Sichuan. After all, this is the first time I have seen this thing in our city of Shu, and I have never seen it anywhere else! We also serve hot pot in Sichuan." It is understandable that this kind of thing appears here.”
…………
The nonsense of several people became more and more outrageous, and finally one person even said that it was a bronze vessel from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, which was used for sacrifices.Because it was popular to sacrifice living people at that time, there may be a way of sacrifice that is to stew living people in an iron pot!
Obviously, Mr. Yi didn't think about why this group of colleagues had such big brains. He felt that since this little master was unwilling to sell this Danding to him, it would be okay for him to tell the origin of this thing.It can not only open the eyes of a few colleagues who have never seen the world, but also demonstrate their rich knowledge reserves.
So he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of crab from the cauldron, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, took another bite, then used a spoon to scoop the bottom of the pot and tasted it, then nodded to confirm after your own judgment.Clearing his throat, he said, "Everyone is wrong!"
The experts suddenly heard that Mr. Yi who triggered the episode said that their guess just now was wrong.He quickly sat down to listen to Mr. Yi's explanation, after all, he wanted to pay 300 million to buy this hot pot tripod.
After several experts sat down, they toasted Mr. Yi one by one and said, "Mr. Yi, please advise!"
Mr. Yi had been waiting for this moment.Literati look down on each other, and it is the same in the literary and entertainment circles. It is so rare that several people who usually look down on each other can toast to themselves and ask themselves for advice at the same time!Mr. Yi blushed a little after drinking a few glasses of wine.
Those experts saw that Mr. Yi was still putting on airs after drinking, and immediately felt that this guy was really annoying!
"Old Yi! Say it or not! I drank the wine and listened to the nice words! What else are you thinking about? Tell us to increase our knowledge!"
These words also expressed Chen Feng's heartfelt feelings. Although he knew that the tripod fished from the wild world had given him so much experience, it must have a lot of background.He just knew that it was used for alchemy, and he didn't know anything else.Now that there is finally someone on Earth who knows about this thing, Chen Feng really wants to hear it.Could it be that there were alchemists in ancient times?
