Chinese chef

72 Registered disciples

The back kitchen of Ru Su Zhai is very clean, and because there are only vegetarian dishes, there is no meaty smell that is unique to other back kitchens.

However, Jiming stayed in the kitchen of Wuquan Temple for a long time, but he didn't notice any difference in the kitchen of Su Su Zhai.

Except that the decoration is more upscale and tidy than that of Wuquan Temple, the ingredients are almost the same, but all kinds of vegetables.

In the back kitchen, Cao Yunzhong, Yu Shengwei's partner, is cooking for the guests.

In fact, Ru Su Zhai had six chefs at the beginning, but because the business was so bad, in order to save money, they could only continuously reduce the number of staff.

Now only Cao Yunzhong is left to take the lead.

Cao Yunzhong and Yu Shengwei were born in childhood, one of them went to a chef school, and the other went to an ordinary university.

After graduating, two young and energetic young people partnered to open this vegetarian restaurant.

They originally thought that there are too many restaurants on the market now, and they have to find a new way to stand out, so they opened a vegetarian restaurant after a lot of consideration.

It's just that they forgot a very important point, this vegetarian dish is more difficult to prepare than meat dishes, and it is even more difficult than ordinary restaurants to make it outstanding!

This is why there are not many vegetarian restaurants on the market.

The two of them opened this vegetarian restaurant with a feverish brain. Although the business is not good, they can't close it, right?

So, I had to study how to make vegetarian dishes delicious every day.

However, this cooking skill is different from others after all, and it takes time to accumulate experience slowly.

Therefore, this vegetarian business has always been half-dead.

----

"Yunzhong, let me introduce you. This is Master Jiming." Yu Shengwei called out to Cao Yunzhong.

"Master Jiming, hello." Cao Yunzhong greeted Jiming with a smile.

"Hello." Jiming clasped his hands together.

"Master Jiming, how do you feel about the table of vegetarian dishes just now? Not bad, right?" Cao Yunzhong said with a smile.

"...you can eat it." Jiming said after thinking for a while.

He originally wanted to find a word to answer that was both euphemistic and less blunt, and most importantly, one that didn't lie.

However, he lived in the monastery for a long time, rarely deal with outsiders, let alone know how to be euphemistic, his vocabulary is really limited.

After holding back for a long time, I was stunned to hold back such a special two words.

"..." Cao Yunzhong blinked, and looked at Jiming in a daze, what a special answer!

He suddenly had the urge to cry.

"Is it that unpalatable?" Cao Yunzhong looked at Yu Shengwei.

"It's okay... right!" Yu Shengwei looked at him, thought for a while, and decided that it's better not to hit him too hard.

Yu Shengwei himself was very troubled by the inability of the Vegetarian Restaurant to cook delicious vegetarian dishes, let alone Cao Yunzhong, the chef of the Vegetarian Restaurant.

"It's okay, it's not the first time anyway." Yu Shengwei said with a smile.

"...You really know how to comfort people." Cao Yunzhong gave him a blank look.

Then, he looked at Yu Hongjing and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Yu, I haven't greeted you yet!"

Yu Hongjing smiled and nodded to him.

"I won't gossip with you anymore, let me tell you, Master Jiming can make braised wax gourd." Yu Shengwei said.

"Braised winter melon?" Cao Yunzhong looked at Jiming and said with a smile, "It turns out that Master Jiming can also cook!"

"It's more than that! Master Mu Fengmu taught Master Jiming to make this braised winter melon!" Yu Shengwei said.

"Which Master Mu?" Cao Yunzhong was taken aback.

"Master Mu Fengmu of Zhonghua Building!" Yu Shengwei said.

It's him!

Cao Yunzhong was taken aback.

Mu Feng from Zhonghua Building has recently become a hot fried chicken in the gourmet world!

He also watched the video of the showdown in the crab garden last night, and while watching it, he felt that he was about the same age as him.

But Ren Mufeng is not only good at cooking, but the most important thing is that he is also handsome. Why is there such a big gap between this person?

"Master Jiming, can you teach me how to make this stewed winter melon?" Cao Yunzhong asked excitedly.

The handicraft taught by Mu Feng from Zhonghualou must have an unusual taste.

Cao Yun thought to himself.

"I have already told Master Jiming just now, and asked him to make this braised wax gourd dish for us to see." Yu Shengwei said.

"That's great! Master Jiming, please!" Cao Yunzhong immediately made a gesture of invitation to Jiming.

Jiming smiled and nodded, and came to the chopping board.

Cao Yunzhong immediately brought some wax gourds over.

Jiming picked up the knife and began to slice the winter melon.

During this period of time, he made this braised winter melon dish almost every day, and he had already memorized all the steps by heart.

The taste of the food in the temple is so ordinary that Jiming's brothers and sisters don't feel tired of eating this braised winter melon every day.

Jiming skillfully cooks this braised wax gourd dish, slicing, cooking, seasoning, and stir-frying, all the steps are done in one go.

Cao Yunzhong and Yu Shengwei watched for a long time, but they didn't see anything special.

Soon, Jiming prepared this Braised Winter Melon.

"There seems to be nothing special?" Cao Yunzhong said hesitantly.

"The seasonings are also the simplest ones." Yu Shengwei frowned.

"Try it." Jiming motioned the two of them to try the braised winter melon.

The two nodded, picked up their chopsticks and put a slice of wax gourd into their mouths.

The winter melon slices have a soft taste, moderate saltiness and sweetness, while maintaining a delicate fragrance, they are not bland.

Really good!

Cao Yunzhong nodded unconsciously.

"Hey, it's delicious!" Yu Shengwei said in surprise.

Then, he turned around and said to his father Yu Hongjing, "Dad, come and try it, Master Jiming's plate of winter melon is delicious!"

"I ate it when I went to the temple. Master Jiming's dish is very popular in the temple!" Yu Hongjing said with a smile.

Yu Shengwei nodded, and put two more slices of wax gourd into his mouth.

It's amazing, it seems so simple.

What is the problem?

The seasoning and stir-frying process is very simple!

But why is it so delicious?

"Master Jiming, do you have any special secrets for this dish? How can it be so delicious?" Yu Shengwei asked, "When you made it just now, I didn't see anything special after watching it for a long time. It's so strange... ..”

"That's right, I've also made this dish, and it doesn't feel any different from mine!" Cao Yunzhong said doubtfully.

"When Master Mufeng taught me how to do it for the first time, I didn't see anything special about it." Jiming said with a smile.

"This dish is actually simple to say, the main thing is the thickness of the wax gourd slices, the proportion of seasonings and the heat of the stir-fry..."

Jiming explained to Cao Yunzhong and the others in detail the specific method of this Braised Winter Melon.

Because Jiming is not very good at teaching people, he didn't sum up many points very well, so when explaining to Cao Yunzhong, he would inevitably mention some important points.

In addition, Cao Yunzhong's talent is not high, so he is a bit slow to learn.

I have been learning about two o'clock. After Cao Yunzhong did it more than ten or twenty times, he finally found the feeling.

The braised wax gourd in the end was not as good as Jiming's.

However, the taste is much better than what he made before.

"Master Jiming, can you teach me a few more vegetarian dishes?" Cao Yunzhong asked shyly.

He has studied vegetarian dishes for a long time, but he still can't get the point. Today, he finally had such a good opportunity, so he naturally wanted to ask for more advice with the cheek.

"This is the only dish I cook well." Jiming smiled awkwardly and said.

"...It's okay, it's okay, then I'll study it myself." Cao Yunzhong scratched his forehead and said.

Jiming took out his mobile phone to check the time, then turned to Yu Hongjing and said, "Benefactor Yu, it's almost time for me to go to Zhonghua Building."

"Yes, yes, forget about this, Master Jiming, I will send you there now." Yu Hongjing said with a smile.

"Thank you." Jimin said with a smile.

Yu Hongjing immediately led Jiming out of the kitchen.

When Cao Yunzhong heard this, he grabbed Yu Shengwei and asked in a low voice, "Why is Master Jiming going to Zhonghua Building?"

"Go to Mu Feng, and say to ask Mu Feng how to cook vegetarian dishes." Yu Shengwei said.

"Really?!" Cao Yunzhong was overjoyed after hearing this.

"Yes! What's wrong?" Yu Shengwei asked blankly.

"You're stupid! Master Jiming knows Mu Feng so well, we can just take this opportunity to get close to Zhonghua Building, maybe..." Cao Yunzhong raised his eyebrows, and looked at Yu Shengwei wisely.

After this period of tempering, he felt more and more that it was too difficult to cook vegetarian dishes on his own!

Especially today when he learned this stewed winter melon dish under the guidance of Jiming, he felt that it is really important to have a master with excellent cooking skills.

"You want to be a teacher?" Yu Shengwei asked in a daze after hearing what he said.

"It would be great if I could really learn from a teacher! However, I'm afraid it's not that easy to learn from the chef of Zhonghua Building. Let's go and have a look first." Cao Yunzhong paused and said, "Let's not talk about it, let's catch up with Jiming first. Say it again, Master!"

After speaking, he ran out of the kitchen, and Yu Shengwei hurried after him.

The two chased all the way to the outside of the store, seeing that Jiming was about to get into the car.

Cao Yunzhong hurriedly shouted: "Master Jiming, Master Jiming, wait first!"

Jiming and Yu Hongjing were taken aback when they heard the shout, and looked back at Cao Yunzhong.

"Benefactor Cao, what's the matter?" Jiming asked suspiciously.

Yu Hongjing also looked at Cao Yunzhong suspiciously, and then at Yu Shengwei.

"Oh, I want to send Master Jiming to Zhonghua Building." Cao Yunzhong said with a smile.

Jiming was taken aback after hearing this, and looked at Cao Yunzhong with some doubts.

"I want to visit Master Mu by the way." Cao Yunzhong said with a smile.

Yu Hongjing knew what Cao Yunzhong was thinking as soon as he heard it. This kid must have the idea of ​​apprenticeship.

In fact, when he met Mu Feng for the first time in Wuquan Temple, he had this idea.

However, he knew it was not easy, so he didn't mention it to his son and Cao Yunzhong.

Fortunately, today, by coincidence, Jiming is going to send Jiming to the Zhonghua Building to find Mufeng, which is also an opportunity.

Yu Hongjing smiled and said to Jiming: "Master Jiming, let Yun Zhong and Sheng Wei take you to Zhonghua Building! Come and visit Master Mu."

"Then I will trouble you both." Jiming said.

Cao Yunzhong smiled, and immediately asked Jiming to get in the car and sit down.

Yu Hongjing summoned his son Yu Shengwei to him, and told him: "When you meet Master Mu later, you must have a good attitude! Although he is about the same age as you, he is definitely a master in cooking! He is more than enough to be your master. , Don’t be indifferent to what you say, you know?”

"Don't worry! Dad, your son is not a stunned man!" Yu Shengwei raised his hand and said.

"Isn't it Lengtouqing who asked me to invest in your vegetarian restaurant as soon as I graduated?" Yu Hongjing rolled his eyes at him.

Yu Shengwei sneered twice, but didn't dare to answer.

"Uncle Yu, let's go first. Shengwei, get in the car." Cao Yunzhong shouted to Yu Hongjing and Yu Shengwei and his son.

"Come here." Yu Hongjing waved to Cao Yunzhong.

"Uncle Yu, what's the matter?" Cao Yunzhong ran over and asked.

"Remember, since you want to be a teacher, sincerity is very important! Think about how to show your sincerity on the way." Yu Hongjing said to the two of them.

"Got it, Uncle Yu, then we'll go there first." Cao Yunzhong said.

"Go!" Yu Hong nodded.

At this time, Tao Linlin ran out of the store.

"Uncle, where are you going? The store is closed?" Tao Linlin said.

"We have something important to do. If there are still customers coming later, you tell them that there are no ingredients in the store and they are all sold out. Let them come again next time." Yu Shengwei said.

"Oh!" Tao Linlin nodded, then paused, "You haven't said where you're going yet!"

"We are going to Zhonghua Building to find Master Mu." Cao Yunzhong said.

"Are you looking for Mufeng?!" Tao Linlin said excitedly, her eyes lit up.

"Why?" Yu Shengwei looked at her suspiciously.

"Take me with you!" Tao Linlin said with a smile, "I want to meet Mu Feng."

"We are here to do serious things, what are you doing?" Yu Shengwei looked at her speechlessly.

"Oh, don't ask so many questions, it's decided like this!" Tao Linlin turned her head and said to Yu Hongjing, "Grandpa, I will leave the shop to you!"

After speaking, she got into the back seat of the car directly.

Yu Shengwei looked at her helplessly, pursed his lips, and followed him into the car.

Yu Shengwei is 25 years old this year. His father gave birth to his eldest sister when he was 25, and his second sister when he was 28, but he was not born until he was 40.

And his elder sister Yu Xiuyao got married at the age of 22, got married at the beginning of the year, and gave birth to Tao Linlin at the end of the year.

Therefore, he and Tao Linlin are only seven years apart in age. They are uncle and nephew in name, but they are more like brothers and sisters on weekdays.

Therefore, he has nothing to do with this niece.

A group of four immediately went to Zhonghua Building.

On the way, Yu Shengwei asked Jiming: "Master Jiming, you know Master Mu so well, do you know that Master Mu has apprentices?"

"Actually, I've only met Benefactor Mu once, and I really don't know about this," Jiming said.

"Master Jiming, is Mu Feng handsome in real life? Is there a big difference between him and the video?" Tao Linlin said suddenly.

Yu Shengwei glanced at her speechlessly.

"Handsome." Jiming nodded.

"I think so, the video is so beautiful!" Tao Linlin said with a nympho, smiling.

Yu Shengwei didn't bother to pay attention to her, and simply looked out the window.

There was nothing to say along the way, and we soon arrived at the Zhonghua Building.

"Yunzhong, let's go to the underground garage!" Yu Shengwei said.

"Why?" Cao Yunzhong was stunned.

"Master Jiming is a monk, it is not good to be seen entering the Zhonghua Building." Yu Shengwei said.

After hearing Yu Shengwei's words, Jiming said, "It's okay, I have no evil in my heart, and I'm not afraid of being misunderstood."

"Let's be more cautious! Nowadays, people can make up a lot of stories with just one photo on the Internet. Anyway, Zhonghua Building has more than just the gate and one exit." Yu Shengwei said.

Jimin nodded after hearing this.

So, Cao Yunzhong drove the car to the underground garage.

A group of four got out of the car and took the elevator to the lobby.

in the hall.

When Lu Yun saw Jiming, he couldn't help but froze.

The monk also came to Zhonghua Building?

"Hi four, do you want a lobby or a box?" Lu Yun said with a smile.

Although she was puzzled, she still did her job well as always.

"We're here to find Master Mu Fengmu." Jiming folded his hands together.

"Looking for Master Mu?" Lu Yun paused, "Excuse me, why is Master looking for Master Mu?"

"I'm Jiming from Wuquan Temple, and I want to ask Master Mu about the way of vegetarian dishes. I told Master Mu before that I would come to see him in the next two days." Jiming said.

Lu Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Those four, please sit down quickly, and I will go and talk to Master Mu."

Then, she called the waiter to serve tea to Jiming and the four of them, and then went to the back kitchen to find Mu Feng.

When Mu Feng learned that Jiming had come to Zhonghua Building, he immediately came to the lobby.

"Master Jiming, welcome, how are you?" Mu Feng greeted Jiming with a smile.

"Hi, Benefactor Mu." Jiming put his hands together and said.

"As I said before, just call me Mu Feng." Mu Feng said.

After a pause, he looked at the three of Yu Shengwei and asked, "Who are these three?"

"Master Mu, hello, my name is Yu Shengwei, his name is Cao Yunzhong, and this is me..." Yu Shengwei pointed to Tao Linlin, and Tao Linlin jumped in front of Mu Feng before he finished his introduction.

"Brother Mu Feng, hello! My name is Tao Linlin, nice to meet you!" Tao Linlin smiled and held out her hand to Mu Feng, her eyes were full of stars.

very handsome!

Looks better than in the video!

Yu Shengwei looked at his niece in bewilderment, and suddenly felt that bringing her here might be a big mistake.

This guy is clearly here to chase stars~

Mu Feng was shocked by Tao Linlin's enthusiasm, he was a little confused, and shook hands with her after a while.

"Hi." Mu Feng said with a smile.

"Brother Mufeng, you look so good-looking!" Tao Linlin said with staring eyes.

"...Hehe, you look cute too." Mu Feng smiled awkwardly and said.

"Isn't it pretty, is it cute?" Tao Linlin scratched her forehead, a little depressed.

Mu Feng blinked and smiled, not knowing what to say next.

Yu Shengwei couldn't stand it anymore, so he went up and dragged Tao Linlin aside.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Tao Linlin looked at Yu Shengwei depressedly.

"I have business, don't make trouble." Yu Shengwei said.

"Okay~" Tao Linlin pursed her lips and said.

Seeing that she was finally being honest, Yu Shengwei ignored her and walked up to Mu Feng again.

At this time, Mu Feng was chatting with Jiming, when he saw Yu Shengwei walking over, he smiled casually and nodded.

Cao Yunzhong also walked over.

Yu Shengwei thought for a while, and said to Mu Feng: "Master Mu, in fact, we are here today to learn from our teacher!"

Cao Yunzhong was taken aback after hearing Yu Shengwei's words, so direct?Don't you mean to be more tactful?

In fact, Yu Shengwei has also considered whether he should be more tactful, and first explore the tone.

But after thinking about it, since I want to show sincerity, I should just say what I think in my heart directly.

After all, it must be better to be honest than to hide it!

"Apprenticeship?" Mu Feng was a little confused after hearing this.

He looked at Jiming and wondered what was going on.

"Master Mu, it's like this. Yunzhong and I opened a vegetarian restaurant..." Yu Shengwei explained to Mu Feng in detail why he wanted to worship Mu Feng as his teacher.

Among them, including the recent business status of the vegetarian restaurant, and the fact that Jiming taught them how to cook braised wax gourd today, everything was clearly stated.

Mu Feng nodded after listening, although he is still a little confused now.

After all, a normal person would be dumbfounded when a person he just met starts talking so much.

However, because of Jiming's relationship, Mu Feng didn't have any strange feelings towards Yu Shengwei and the others.

On the contrary, after listening to their words, I feel that they are quite honest.

Although it might seem a bit abrupt for them to turn out all the facts as soon as they meet, Mu Feng likes them quite a bit.

What Mu Feng hates the most on weekdays is the kind of person who only talks in half and always likes to be guessed.

Like Yu Shengwei and the others who directly expressed their thoughts in their hearts, Mu Feng didn't have to guess what they were going to do.

The two sides are frank, but also comfortable.

After hearing what they said, Mu Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then I will accept you two apprentices."

Take it, take it?

Accept it?

so easy?

Unexpectedly, Mu Feng was so forthright, Yu Shengwei and Cao Yunzhong became confused instead.

Is it so easy to become a teacher?

Yu Shengwei scratched the back of his head and asked, "Master Mu, may I ask what are the requirements for being your apprentice?"

Yu Shengwei felt that it was better to ask clearly, so as not to make a joke later.

"No need." Mu Feng said.

"Master Mu, because we have our own shop, we can't come to Zhonghua Building as apprentices..." Cao Yunzhong said cautiously.

"I know! Didn't you all say it just now?" Mu Feng said with a smile.

"You accepted us so readily?" Yu Shengwei still couldn't believe it.

Happiness came so suddenly that he couldn't react.

Before coming, he was still uneasy and full of doubts, he didn't know how to let Mu Feng accept them as disciples.

Unexpectedly, the development of the matter turned out to be like this, and Mu Feng agreed so readily.

Both he and Cao Yunzhong wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say for a while.

My mind is a little off...

Seeing that they were obviously dull, Mu Feng smiled and said: "I don't have any conditions, and you don't have to think too much. You go back first, leave me a WeChat message, and I will send you a video of cooking. You guys Just keep practicing!"

"Online teaching?" Cao Yunzhong was taken aback.

"Yes, online teaching, don't worry, I will explain all the points clearly." Mu Feng said.

Cao Yunzhong and Yu Shengwei nodded. Although online teaching is not as good as face-to-face teaching, Master Mu has already agreed to accept them as apprentices, which has greatly exceeded their expectations.

After the two thanked Mu Feng, they left a WeChat message, and then dragged Tao Linlin, who had a look of reluctance, back to Ru Su Zhai.

In fact, a large part of Mu Feng's willingness to accept the two of them as apprentices was because the system already had a mission for him to inherit cooking skills.

Although, the system requires face-to-face teaching to be considered real teaching.

However, it doesn't hurt to accept the two of them as registered disciples first.

Anyway, it's nothing more than recording a small video while teaching Jiming how to cook.

The effect of video teaching is definitely different from that of on-site teaching. Whether Yu Shengwei and Cao Yunzhong can learn Mu Feng's skills through videos depends on their own understanding.

As for the back chef who entered the Zhonghua Building to learn how to cook with Mu Feng on the spot, Mu Feng has no plans to do so yet.

Although Yu Shengwei and Yu Shengwei have exposed their affairs, after all, not just anyone can enter the back kitchen.

For the two of them, Mu Feng only met today, basically equal to strangers.

Although they knew Jiming, they just met each other after all.

It is good enough that Mu Feng can agree to give them the missionary teaching video, and the rest will be observed slowly later.

If these two people are really good, even if their talents are not good, as long as their character passes the test, Mu Feng will teach them cooking skills with all their heart.

But if the character is not good, then it can only stop at a few small videos.

After all, Mu Feng is not a bad person, and he will definitely not teach all the people who come to apprentice because of the requirements of the system.
