Cooking

27.

While the Bu family was busy preparing for the feast, Li Xiangrong was also being taught by Xu Ji.

Xu Ji reminded Arong that if you can figure out what Manchu cuisine they are busy with, I guarantee you will be astounded by your talents.

Practice the vegetarian dishes in the Bujia recipes, practice the vegetarian dishes in Xu Ji's memory, practice the vegetarian dishes in Manshuyuan that you remember, do what you can do in obscurity, and don't bother to see if others show respect.

Li Xiangrong didn't think he could stay at Bu's house for long. Since it's hard to say that Bu Langni is around every day, let's talk about it after school starts and he gets busy.

After leaving Bu's house, Ah Rong casually thought, either go back to Manshuyuan, but there are basically volunteers without salary, or find another pure vegetarian restaurant to work, preferably under the guidance of Master Free Go get the chef certificate first, anyway, you are destined to be a cook, and then accumulate a few years to save some money to open a small shop by yourself, and the family will live a stable life together.

Although he was really confused by the peak and the uniqueness mentioned by Broni, Li Xiangrong, who had calmed down, understood very well that those were all illusions, and it was good to be crazy once in a while, and there was no need to take it seriously.

Ah Rong himself also found some food competition information and read it. Which chef won the grand prize is not a master, which dish is not a delicacy, and the chef who only cooks vegetarian dishes?No.

So he doesn't expect to be famous, as long as he has pure craftsmanship and makes a living, there is no imbalance.

Sometimes when talking silently with Xu Ji, Ah Rong was distracted thinking how miraculous it is. Having such an astonishing master is simply an adventure among adventures. Would I be sorry for this miracle if I didn’t get along well?

But when I turned my head and was washed by my mother's Buddhist thoughts, I thought about it again. If there is a gain, there will be a loss. At this time, the flowers are blooming like a brocade, and there is ice and snow everywhere. It seems that there is always a feeling of retribution for squandering.

Children raised by ordinary parents are only used to paying a little bit for a little gain, and have no interest in trying to sit and watch the cloud.No, maybe he doesn't know the taste of the cloud at all, so he can't imagine, don't care, and don't yearn for it.

The next step for a master who has already stood at the top is to occupy the sky, while the greatest wish of a farmer who is plowing down the mountain is just a cow on [-] acres of land.

The farmer would not be able to bear it if the master led the farmer up the mountainside. If he was forced to catch him to the top of the mountain, the farmer would become weak and dizzy and unable to stand up.

Arong poured out these ideas to Xu Ji, and the master didn't care, saying that you can do whatever you want.

Most of the materials that Xu Ji told about the court vegetarians were complicated and exaggerated, many of which were not available to Ah Rong, so he had to say that he could learn whatever was convenient for him now, and he must not attract attention and be hated by others.

Xu Ji also understands the status quo, but it's a pity that his mind is full of rare recipes, so he can use the existing materials in the kitchen to practice without showing any traces.

At noon that day, everyone occupied the kitchen again to try out new dishes. The self-aware Ah Rong touched his nose and retreated automatically. He wandered around the yard and found that he couldn't even catch up with lunch, so he hesitated to leave the door of Bu's house Go find something to eat.

I've been to Bu's house for so long, and I really don't go out much except for the morning market and rest days.

This piece of land is an expensive land in the city. It is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. It is hard to find even a fallen leaf on the quiet small street. The parking spaces on the side of the street are full of luxury cars. Occasionally passers-by are dressed in high-end clothes, and there are small buildings with a long history. Or the single-door courtyard looms among the lush trees, and the bright sunlight shines through the gaps in the shade, making it as beautiful as an oil painting.

In addition to the Bujia restaurant, there are art galleries, antique shops, piano shops, flower shops, etc. in the block. On the top of the long wall of Bujia is Mrs. Fanny's bakery.

The taste of snacks and coffee is unparalleled, and the price is only affordable for those with a sufficient standard of living.Li Xiangrong walked around the fence, regretting that there were no common food such as fried rice with steamed buns and beef noodles nearby. He just saw a European-style western food restaurant across the street. Where to go and afford it.

Just go ask Mrs. Fanny for something to eat. There should be sandwiches or meat floss bread now. Ah Rong looked through the glass door, rubbed his sweaty palms on his trousers, and shyly pushed the pastry away. The door of the shop.

"Welcome!" A service lady in a pink uniform said with a smile, pointing to the counter with her right hand, "Sir, do you need a cake? Today's manager's recommendation is cheese brownie!"

"I, I'll see what's available for lunch," Arong waved his hands quickly, and cast his eyes on the bread shelf in the middle of the hall. The sweet smell is very appetizing.

"Hey, Arong!" Looking back, she saw Bai Yuanyuan waving her hand at him. She was standing behind the bar in a pink tutu skirt, with a bright smile on her round face.

"Sister Bai," Ah Rong hurried forward, looked at her obvious protruding abdomen, and said with concern, "Does it matter if you stand? Don't work too hard."

"Why, I want to do more exercise, so I won't be tired at all," Bai Yuanyuan said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?"

"Uh, well," Ah Rong couldn't say badly, your husband won't give me a good life, and changed the subject, "Is Mrs. Fanny here? Oh, I want to buy something to eat."

"Mrs. Fanny is in the kitchen, what are you talking about buying? This is the territory of the Bu family," Bai Yuanyuan twitched the corners of her lips at his birthday, "Sit down quickly, I'll get you a freshly baked cheese brownie, it's absolutely fine Eat it! Let’s pair it with a bitter espresso.”

"No, I want to eat it as a meal, I don't want something so sweet," Ah Rong quickly stopped, "It's fine if there are sandwiches or something."

"Hey! Arong is here," Mrs. Fanny just came out of the kitchen. The white chef's hat wrapped her golden hair, and the exposed facial contours did not look like a woman whose son had already gone to college.

"Want to eat?" Fanny patted Bai Yuanyuan's shoulder lightly, "It just so happened that I tried fresh shrimp and bacon cake this morning, and I prepared it for our afternoon tea. Although it has only been refrigerated for less than three hours now, it should be ready for unmolding. It's all right."

"Yuanyuan, help Arong make a Blue Mountain coffee, this cake is a bit greasy, it should be best paired with the refreshing and slightly sour Blue Mountain."

"Okay, Arong, wait a moment," Bai Yuanyuan neatly took down the jar from the coffee shop from the back shelf, poured the coffee beans roasted to dark gray into the grinder, and after a few clicks, they shook and emitted The strong and bitter powder is installed with a special filter and pressed flat into the faucet of the coffee machine. After hissing the white gas, boiling water flows out, pouring the coffee powder, and flowing into the white carved bone china cup.

Li Xiangrong watched with interest, and Bai Yuanyuan asked, "Do you want to add fresh milk or cream?"

"Huh? What would you like to drink?" Arong asked back.

"Personal preference, fresh milk is more delicate, cream is sweeter, of course it depends on how much sugar you add." Bai Yuanyuan explained.

"Don't add anything to him, just drink it up," Mrs. Fanny came out holding up the tray, "Come and eat."

Ah Rong walked over and sat down, and saw a quarter of eight-inch cakes in the tray, the red, green and green were really pretty.

"This is topped with lobster meat, with onions and green peppers. It's very fragrant." Mrs. Fanny stuffed the stainless steel fork into his hand, "Try it quickly."

Bai Yuanyuan brought over two cups of coffee, and Fanny pulled her to sit down, "Yuanyuan also have some?"

"I just had lunch, and I still can't eat it now, Ah Rong, let's eat," Bai Yuanyuan waved her hand, "Oh, I smell coffee every day, but I can only drink plain water. I'm so miserable."

"Are you pregnant?" Fanny put her arms around her shoulders affectionately, "Hurry up, Ah Rong, we're waiting to hear our impressions."

Dare to eat free lunch to provide brainpower, Ah Rong first took a sip of the white water handed by the waiter, and stretched out his fork.

"By the way, you are a vegetarian?" Mrs. Fanny suddenly called out, "There will be no problem with this lobster, right?"

"No, no," Ah Rong said in his heart. Anyway, I have never seen the scene where the lobster died. I don't have so many psychological barriers. .”

"This lobster must be delicious." The pale pink shrimp meat entered the mouth, sweet and tender, and then scooped up a spoonful of cake. There were granular onions, green peppers and bacon lurking in the smooth cake, and fresh Flavors of black pepper and ground herbs.

The most irreplaceable is the milk flavor.

"I used cream cheese and milk. It has a rich milky aroma," Mrs. Fanny said proudly. "The cake batter is also filled with crushed shrimp. Have you tasted it? This salty taste is very appetizing."

He swallowed the cake one bite after another, and then gulped down the slightly sour Blue Mountain coffee without sugar or milk. It was so enjoyable to neutralize the freshness in the taste buds. Li Xiangrong wiped his mouth, thinking that although this is a lot , but I must be able to eat the whole eight inches.

Seeing that little desire to be dissatisfied, Fanny smiled and said, "You can't eat all of it, I'll keep it for Lonnie, what else do you want to eat, go and get it yourself."

It was a bit embarrassing to be found out, Li Xiangrong clapped his hands proudly and said, "I am too ashamed to eat Mrs. Fanny's creations every time. I am also practicing making dim sum recently. If it is convenient to operate the room now, why don't you ask me to show my hand? Last time I'm too embarrassed to make a mess."

"Oh?" Fanny and Bai Yuanyuan looked at each other, "Then let me check and accept your achievements over the past few months,

But no one over there specializes in making dim sum. You taught yourself? "

"I learned it from the recipe," Ah Rong replied, "It may not be very good, but I will try my best, so have confidence in me~"

After getting into the kitchen for more than half an hour, Ah Rong came out with a large plate of golden, bright, oily and fragrant snacks.

The small round cake covered with white sesame seeds has a gap in the center, and there is a protruding thick edge around the bottom of the cake, which looks like a horseshoe. One bites up.

"Don't burn it," Arong said with a smile, "It was supposed to be made of fried pork, but I thought it was too troublesome, so I just used ready-made bacon and chopped it, okay?"

"Wow~ delicious!" Fanny took a big bite. Under the fried and crispy crust was the steaming meat filling, and the soft and salty bacon shreds were wrapped in the special aroma of cheese. The Chinese-style appearance hides Pastry heart.

Attracted by the cute appearance, Bai Yuanyuan also picked up one and looked at it carefully. This unique appearance gave her a flash of inspiration, "This is a doornail sesame seed cake!"

Legend has it that the Empress Dowager Cixi once dreamed of eating sesame seed cakes. It happened that there were minced meat sesame seed cakes early the next morning. The Empress Dowager Cixi was very happy and rewarded the chef.

Ah Rong said indifferently, "It's not authentic. I can see the recipes at most, and I have changed the ingredients of the fillings. It's still like this."

Slowly gnawed the whole thing in small bites, Bai Yuanyuan looked at Li Xiangrong who was scrambling to eat a small snack with Mrs. Fanny, her eyes were deep.

The author has something to say: Just to remind you, it was mentioned earlier that Bai Yuanyuan specializes in making Bu Chinese-style dim sum.

28.

A piece of paper was pushed in front of Li Xiangrong.

"How many kinds of snacks do you make?" Bai Yuanyuan raised her chin and asked.

Inexplicably picking up the paper and looking at it, Ah Rong's expression suddenly changed.

"White flour pastry rolls, assorted fire, plum buns, thousand-layer cakes, slices, Ruyi rolls, Nama rice cakes, shepherd's purse siu mai, sesame sesame cakes, Tongchuan soft cakes, glass oil cakes, crystal buns, rose cakes , sliced ​​pastry, lotus leaf clip, crescent moon cake, first-class mandarin duck, first-class sesame seed cake, oven-dried vegetable cake, steamed bean sprouts cake, oven cowherd roll, steamed chrysanthemum cake, oven-baked pie, and steamed ice cream"

The boyish face that has not faded away is slowly dignified, and there seems to be a small flame beating in the concentrated eyes. Bai Yuanyuan holds her breath and waits for Arong's answer, which should be an unexpected and unexpected answer.

Ah Rong gently opened the corners of his mouth and smiled. This smile was so arrogant and conceited. Bai Yuanyuan had seen similar expressions on the faces of He Zhishan and Bu Langni. It was an expression of extreme confidence in her own abilities.

Sure enough...she thought, Ah Rong, who can make doornail sesame seed cakes, is no stranger to these dim sums on the Manchu banquet. The deep-fried wontons are not for nothing, so today's sesame seed cakes are to show that he is not a waste material, but it is not in the right place?

The dim sum required for the banquet used to be made in the big kitchen there. Later, after Fanny opened the bakery, the master chef at the time suggested that the dim sum room be merged together. Firstly, there are more common materials and utensils, and secondly, it is also to learn from western pastry. The third is to let Fanny integrate into the atmosphere of the Bu family faster. Bai Yuanyuan has been with Fanny since she started her career, and she has also learned a lot of pastry recipes. The two have become very good friends.

Bai Yuanyuan vaguely knew that Ah Rong was an apprentice from the vegetarian room of Manshuyuan, so who did he learn this from?

She waited for him to admit his talent in a laid-back, haughty tone, but—

"Except for Mending Shaobing, I only know how to make cloud bean rolls and Nama rice cakes. I don't know how to make these desserts," Arong looked at her with his dark eyes, sincerely.

She bit her lip in disbelief and said, "Those two are also royal meals, your origins are very deep."

"No, it's just popular food," the young man retorted easily, "Everyone in the street can make dumplings, mutton soup, and scrambled eggs, and the emperor also eats those."

"I found some recipes and looked at them. It is not difficult to make court dishes that can be handed down. Doesn't it mean that the Qing court attaches great importance to rules, and every dish has strict production techniques. Now who can copy it as it is, not everyone Did you play it by yourself?" After expressing his opinion leisurely, Ah Rong picked up the boiled water and drank it.

"I've also made Mending Meatloaf, and the taste is not bad, but yours..." Bai Yuanyuan was still looking for a breakthrough, and Ah Rong said impatiently, "I didn't use minced pork today, but bacon, and the taste is of course There is a difference."

"The shape is very special," Bai Yuanyuan took a step back.

"Sister Bai knows that I'm good at knife skills," the young man explained deftly, "I'm quite imaginative. I made it according to the description in the recipe. What shapes did you make before?"

"It's the round one," Bai Yuanyuan said softly, "Boy, I can see that you are not simple. If you are unhappy in the kitchen over there, why don't you come to the dim sum room?"

"Dim sum? Bai An?" Li Xiangrong looked at her in surprise, "I'm a cutter and a dishwasher, how can I be a pastry chef?"

"No matter what you do over there, your dim sum skills are sure to be good. It is up to the level of family banquets. I will be on leave in a month to wait for delivery. Mrs. Fanny is too busy. There are still I don't have enough experience as an apprentice, and I'm still worried about whether I should ask a retired master to help me, wouldn't it be better for you to come here?" Bai Yuanyuan persuaded patiently, "You are not reused over there, so it is more comfortable to come here? There are free cakes and coffee~”

"But I'm really not good at making desserts," Li Xiangrong screamed in his heart, master, why are you so excited today that you want me to make this stuff... What can I do with such a good dessert? !

——I'm thinking of you, and you don't want to leave Bu's house, isn't it just right now?

Xu Ji's thoughts circled in his mind.

——This woman is much more magnanimous than that senior brother, and besides, you can still get along with the mistress of the house day and night, so you can perform better~

——No, Li Xiangrong shook his head stubbornly, it's not me who can make dim sum.

——After all, the Imperial Dining Room and the Nei Bobo Room were completely separated back then, Xu Ji sighed and said, the dim sum I know is really only a few popular ones, even a chef should know how to do it in those days.

——What's the use of staying in the snack room, I have to leave sooner or later?

——The dim sum room didn’t kill animals, at least the materials were all ready-made.

——But I still want to be a vegetarian...

——Stupid brat!Look at the kitchen over there now, can you still stay there?Now you can't even try dishes and practice, and you are disgusting and hateful, and you are treated like a thief by others, I feel bad for you.No matter how hard you try, you won't be recognized at all!Bujiacai doesn't value vegetarian food at all!

——I know, it's not that unbearable...

"Arong? Arong?" Seeing the young man sinking into his thoughts for a long time, his expression suddenly agitated and then lonely, Bai Yuanyuan couldn't help calling out worriedly, "Think carefully, don't worry."

"Arong!" Bu Langni's voice came suddenly, and the two turned their heads to see that the young master who was holding the cake tray was coming out of the kitchen, and ran over excitedly to sit down.Mrs. Fanny followed behind and brought warm milk tea.

"Mom, I want to drink coffee," Buroni looked at the light brown liquid dissatisfied, "This is very greasy."

"Milk tea is not for you. It's for Yuanyuan and me. You can get what you drink yourself." Mrs. Fanny leisurely filled two glasses, put them in front of Bai Yuanyuan, and said to her son, "Help me!" Rong make another cup."

"I don't want it anymore, thank you!" Ah Rong was not very used to coffee, and he would definitely not be able to bear it if he continued to drink it.

Buroni shrugged and ran to the bar by himself.

Mrs. Fanny looked at Arong kindly, "How about it, listen to Yuanyuan and come here to help."

"This……

"Arong is still hesitating.

"I think this is very good. The reason Yuanyuan just said is very clear. She will be on vacation after finishing the feast next month. I also need help at hand."

"I, I still want to cook..." This didn't seem to be a good reason, Ah Rong weakly refused, thinking that he could always chop and chop vegetables over there, but he didn't know anything about dim sum here, and he couldn't do it all the time. Let the master upper body, Xu Ji's spirit body control his body for more than ten minutes, the price is ten days of self-cultivation without showing his face at all, it almost scared people to death last time.

"It's not convenient for you to cook there," Bai Yuanyuan said in a low voice deliberately, "I didn't believe you when Zhishan told me you were amazing, but now he says you're useless, and I don't believe you either. Don't prove who is right between me and him?"

Fanny naturally heard everything, and patted Yuanyuan's hair amusedly, "You two, how old are you, and you like to deliberately fight against each other so much, what's the point of betting on Arong this time?"

"Hehe," Bai Yuanyuan said shyly, "Whoever loses the bet this time will eat the whole plate of stinky tofu!"

"Hahahaha, your favorite thing, no one else would eat it," Mrs. Fanny said with a smile, "Anyway, it's just bad luck every time, and you can really do it."

"Who asked him to put on a coffin face every day, a look like I am strong, I am boring, and I am awkward. If you see his face eating stinky tofu, you will definitely die of laughter~"

"Then I really have to look forward to it~" Fanny raised her eyebrows, "Well, count me in, if you win, I'll give you a bottle of fine red wine."

"Why, you don't believe me to win? Don't you believe Arong?" Bai Yuanyuan wrinkled her nose and turned to Li Xiangrong who was still thinking, "Hey, you have to help me win back the good wine."

"Win for what? I'm not a waste material?" A sharp light flashed through his pupils, and the boy regained his warm and soft gaze. "If I am not a waste material, what reward can you give me?"

"What do you want?" Buroni stood quietly behind him holding a cup of coffee.

"I," he said with a slight smile, looking back at his friend's serious face, "if I prove that I am not a waste and you all believe that I have enough strength, let me cook a dish at the feast next month. "

Looking down, he fixed his eyes firmly on him, but Buroni's face was blurred by the rising heat of coffee, and his green eyes were like waves in a lake, rushing forward more and more violently one after another.

"How do you prove it?" He heard Buroni's slightly hoarse voice above his head, and he had the illusion of being enveloped by some kind of breath.

Ah Rong also heard his own voice reply very calmly, "I'm making two kinds of dim sum here, and I'll send them to the master chefs. They will say that Sister Bai made it, and judge by their evaluation."

"Will you stay here with peace of mind?" Buroni's voice was full of joy, "It's a good idea. If the chef admits you, there will be no problem."

Is there really no problem?Fanny looked at her beaming son suspiciously.

"Anyway, I want to participate in that feast," Xu Ji's thoughts came out from the tip of Li Xiangrong's tongue bit by bit, "I have a hunch that it will be very important to me."

The master's thinking stopped here, Ah Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bright silver butcher knife emerged in the bright red vision, shaking constantly with the slight trembling of the eyelids.

That was Xu Ji's knife, it was his father's knife, and now it is his own knife.

Bai Yuanyuan laughed softly, "Ah Rong, if your dim sum can reach or even exceed my level, wouldn't it be more appropriate to stay here?"

"Sister Bai," Ah Rong said flatly, "I hope that one day my cooking can reach or even exceed the level of Big Brother He Zhishan. You can bet him on this again."

Bruni didn't see the expression on his drooping face, but he shuddered involuntarily.

So cold, how could it be Ah Rong who he has always known well?

29.

At the banquet that night, a plate of cloud bean rolls was delivered.

In the middle of the square white pastry, there is a beautiful deep red "Hui" pattern. The delicate texture is like suet jade shining with soft light. What is released from the pattern is a rich and sweet rose fragrance. It is like an art when placed on a plate. It is so delicious, when all the guests take a bite and put it in their mouths, no one will praise it softly without being intoxicated.

Cloud bean rolls are made by pressing cooked cloud bean paste into long slices about three minutes thick, spreading them on the chopping board, spreading sugar, fresh flowers or jujube paste on it, rolling them into rolls, and cutting them into sections. point.In the afternoon, Li Xiangrong went back to the kitchen to continue cutting vegetables and washing dishes after finishing the dishes. The snacks were delivered at the right time.

Buroni waited nonchalantly for everyone to eat more or less before asking how it was. As a rule, the chef or foreman needs to taste the dim sum before serving it. Master Lu heard that this is Bai Yuanyuan. I didn't say much about the new products I made, and after I tasted one, I indicated that it could be delivered.

Although it is not difficult to make, it is also one of the top grades in the imperial cuisine of the Qing Dynasty. In the past, it was not only used as a gift for the palace, but also as a gift to the officials to show their favor.Later, many practices spread among the people were still far from the most orthodox royal chef’s craftsmanship. Today, Ah Rong meticulously followed Xu Ji’s instructions. Since there are not too many requirements for seasoning and heat, as long as the materials are selected and the shape is perfect. Everything will be fine.

According to the traditional method, Yundou is soaked overnight and then steamed in a basket, but now you can buy finished or semi-finished products. Xu Ji used Arong's senses to carefully distinguish the quality of bagged Yundou puree, and he had to admit that food industrialization is indeed advanced , some necessary additives make the original slightly astringent Yundou softer and sweeter, this taste should be better than the old palace production.

Naturally, the guests kept praising him, and while Buroni was having fun, he wondered whether it was Arong who was more talented in doing white cases, or was there something else wrong?In any case, Arong is indeed a person with real skills. Today, the cloud bean rolls are also under his full monitoring. Arong's technique is skillful and his demeanor is serene, like a master.

Another dessert is the black tea butter halberd made by my mother. It is a very, very simple pound cake. It is a simple work that any baking lover can quickly learn.

Buroni curiously asked her mother why she chose this cake. Bai Yuanyuan helped to explain that the simplicity and representative status of black tea butter halberd and cloud bean rolls in imperial cuisine can be regarded as the same. .

I have never eaten cloud bean rolls before, but the butter halberd baked by my mother can be eaten countless times. The soft and solid cake is soaked in the bitterness and dryness of Earl Gray black tea. The butter that does not need to be whipped is fluffy compared to other cakes. Said to be thicker and fuller, this is a delicious cake that brings people a full sense of satisfaction.

How rare is the cloud bean roll that can stand on an equal footing with it.

After seeing off the guests, Buroni returned to the kitchen in a good mood. The chefs were eating dinner after packing up the materials and utensils. A large plate of cloud bean rolls was placed in the middle of the table.

Out of some secret psychology, Buroni deliberately picked up one and looked at it from side to side, pretending to be surprised and asking, "Master, what kind of dessert is this?"

The chef said indifferently, "Yuanyuan's new work is very good, you can consider putting it in the recipe."

Overjoyed, Buroni glanced at Li Xiangrong, who was holding a bowl to eat in the corner, and was slightly stunned when he heard this sentence. He suspected that he saw the self-deprecating self-mockery on Arong's face, which had always been naturally dull, and added a trace of guilt .

Because Yuanyuan has long been a member of the Bu family, so the famous new products can also be recognized and admired, but no matter how hard Arong, who is difficult to integrate, can only get "no way"...

Is that fair in itself?

Bu Langni swallowed the cloud bean rolls indiscriminately, and said in a low voice, "This snack is not delicious, it's sweet and greasy, isn't Sister Bai a little backward?"

It may not be a good thing to attract everyone's attention in this way. Whether it is delicious or not is an extremely subjective feeling, and it is more affected by other people's evaluations. Everyone starts to say something delicious. Someone steadfastly repeats denial, and more and more people are always influenced to change their minds.

Food taste and fashion aesthetics also have something in common. Some people think it is good, others think it is not good. This time it is popular and then it is cast aside, so creating classics is an eternal pursuit.

Sure enough, after hearing Brony's words, Anton whispered, "I also think it's a bit too sweet..."

Tao Xingming said lightly, "Manchu dim sum is heavy in oil and sugar, maybe it can be improved."

Feng Yifan is a sweet tooth lover who doesn't show his true nature, this dessert is just right for his appetite, he took one after another, and said with a smile, "Don't eat what you don't like, I want the rest."

In the end, He Zhishan said coldly, "This is not Yuanyuan's craftsmanship."

what?

Bu Langni and Li Xiangrong looked at him in surprise, only to see him lowering his eyes, slowly put down the cloud bean rolls he had taken a bite of in his hand, and said to the chef, "Master, Yuanyuan's taste has changed in the past few months. It's very big, and the sweets that I used to like very much don't eat at all now, she can't make such sweets, and," the dark eyes stared sharply at Bu Lang Ni, "this is a cold spot, and there are at least three or four places where it is placed. It's been an hour, and it's not her habit."

Bruni stared at him dumbfounded. Isn't this amazing? Do all married men know their wives this way?

He Zhishan continued, "If I had tasted it just now, master, I would not agree to serve it on the table."

"Why?" Spotting Li Xiangrong's secretly clenched fist at the edge of his line of sight, Buroni asked sharply, "Senior Brother He, tell me the reason."

"Strange, Lonnie, didn't you just say that it's okay to be sweet and greasy?" He Zhishan sneered, "Why can't you listen to other people's denials?"

Throat suffocated, Buroni glared at him bitterly, just now I just wanted to sing the opposite and probe your reactions, but in fact, of course I support Ah Rong's works!

Such a reason couldn't be clearly explained, and the Young Master's family was silenced and his face turned blue.

He Zhishan said again, "The reason why I disagree is that I don't like it."

what?

Everyone, including Master Lu, stared at He Zhishan like a monster. He Zhishan, who was calm and efficient like a robot, would say something that was almost cheating, that was really - too abnormal.

He Zhishan, who was baptized by everyone's eyes, also felt a little awkward, touched his nose and said uncomfortably, "I just don't like to wear Yuanyuan's name, it makes me uncomfortable."

I can't see it, I can't see it, everyone suddenly realized that this kind of psychology is the legendary desire to possess and protect... The relationship between the newlyweds is good, and they know how to protect each other, which is much sweeter than this snack.

After being sized up again by the teasing eyes of Qing Ran, Feng Yifan couldn't help but sneered and said, "Old He, you are still a pure young man~~~~ I admire, really admire, hahahaha."

"Childhood sweethearts are good, I'm so envious," Tao Xingming also responded with a smile on his face.

Cough, cough, cough, He Zhishan coughed several times in a low voice, while Anton was still grabbing Ah Rong's shoulder and gossiping, "Senior Brother He and Sister Bai have known each other for more than ten years and it took a lot of effort. La."

Master Lu looked around for a week, and it was rare to see his immovable senior apprentice in embarrassment, so he kindly changed the subject for him, "If it wasn't for Yuanyuan, who did it?"

Li Xiangrong immediately looked straight at him with firm and confident eyes.

Master Lu sighed and was about to speak, but Buroni hurriedly said, "Master, since you have confirmed that this is a standard that can be written in the recipe, can you admit the chef who made this dim sum?"

Li Xiangrong's eyes lit up the moment he heard these words.

He slapped off Anton's arm that was still on his back almost roughly, and stood up all at once.

"Arong?" He heard Anton's puzzled voice, which immediately turned into an exclamation, "Arong!"

did you do itdid you do itdid you do itdid you do it

Everyone looked at him as if he was the center of the world.

Li Xiangrong blinked in a daze, took a deep breath, looked at the chef, and said calmly, "Master Lu, I really made the cloud bean rolls."

He Zhishan's expression immediately became gloomy, and Ah Rong glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Master He, other than pretending to be Mrs. Madam, do you think my dim sum is qualified to be served on the table?"

Such acrimonious words came from the mouth of the most useless and useless apprentice, but Li Xiangrong raised his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly in a posture of being arrogant.

——I'm so nervous, I'm so nervous... I'm crying from the bottom of my heart, but my expression is calm and arrogant. Arong can only pray to God to bless the master's strategy is feasible.

—Calm down!
