Chapter 46 Perfect Logic
"Gourmet Supplier ()"
Sharma: "..."
After knowing Person for so many years, this is the first time I know that he can do this without Bilian. The key is to speak clearly and soundly.
Hans was originally thinking about how to get his uncle to agree to stay in Chengdu for a longer period of time. He wanted to speak, but was afraid of delaying his uncle's business. He never thought that he could get what he wanted without asking. There was nothing better than this. .
"Let's go visit the souvenir shop you mentioned first, and then have dinner here later." Person concluded his statement.
"Follow me." Shama was reluctant to leave, so he got off the donkey along the slope and took Person and Hans for a stroll on Peach Creek Road.
As lunch time came to an end, the noisy scene in the shop gradually became quiet, but within a few minutes of silence, a group of people came into the shop noisily.
First, Cheng Zhaomei came with a group of juniors and juniors. Today is the Double Ninth Festival. As a disciple, it is natural to come to see the master. Even though the master is not old, the group of people who respect Yuan Zhou from the bottom of their hearts will not miss such a visit. day.
Originally, the Double Ninth Festival was only called the Double Ninth Festival in the past because "six" was designated as a yin number and "nine" as a yang number in the "Book of Changes". On September 9, the sun and the moon merged with the yang, and the two nines overlapped, so it was called the Double Ninth Festival. Also called Chongjiu, the ancients considered it an auspicious day worthy of celebration.
After being supplemented by a series of cultural celebrities such as Tao Yuanming, the content of the Double Ninth Festival gradually became richer, including inviting relatives and friends, climbing high to look far, planting dogwood trees, etc. People in plain areas cannot climb high to look far by themselves, so eating cakes instead of climbing, well... ...This logic is also okay.
In fact, roasted sweet potatoes should become popular in modern times, as long as they are related to the college entrance examination.
In modern times, the traditional festival of Double Ninth Festival has been combined with respect and love for the elderly, and modernity and tradition have been cleverly integrated. Therefore, Cheng Zhaomei and the others came with sincerity.
"Master, this is the nine-layer Double Ninth Festival cake I made. Can you try it and see how it tastes?"
As a direct disciple, Cheng Zhaomei's position as senior brother was unbreakable, and naturally she was the first person to offer cake to Yuan Zhou.
What he makes is a traditional Double Ninth Festival cake with clear layers and a thick layer of crushed nuts on the surface. The shiny nuts contrast with the pink pastry underneath, and a rich sweet fragrance spreads out. The unique smell of pastries permeates the shop.
"It's not bad. The heat is just right. The proportions of each layer are too even. You can change it and the taste will change." Yuan Zhou looked at it and said.
Although Neptune's mission has not been completed and the reward has not been received, Yuan Zhou is very familiar with Chongyang Cake, and it is definitely more than enough to guide Cheng Zhaomei.
"Okay, Master."
Knowing Yuan Zhou's habits, after handing him the cake, he took out his notebook and wrote down Yuan Zhou's next words.
With Cheng Zhaomei in the lead, the next apprentices presented the cakes they made one by one. The custom of eating cakes during the Double Ninth Festival remains unchanged, but the cakes made by everyone are also varied. Some of them make the Double Ninth Festival cakes like Cheng Zhaomei. , not nine layers, but two or three layers. They also make other pastries, such as Osmanthus Tiaotou Cake, Dingsheng Cake, Begonia Cake, etc.
The most outstanding among them is definitely Comrade Wang Mingjie.
As Su Cai's registered disciple, this guy did not send colorful Double Ninth Festival cakes like Luo Qing. Instead, he took a different approach and brought out a three-pound turtle.
His appearance, which was completely different from other disciples, attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came out.
The color is beautiful reddish brown. In the middle of it is a huge turtle that is lifelike. There are patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish next to it, and there are some words of fortune, wealth, longevity and happiness on the four corners of the square. It looks very special. Good luck and good luck.
With such auspicious patterns put together, you can tell at a glance what good wishes the gift giver wants to express.
"Master, this is a variant of the sugar turtle I made based on the sugar turtle from Zhejiang Province. I hope the master likes it," Wang Mingjie said.
Even though Wang Mingjie is old,
But he is more capable than the young man. His admiration for Yuan Zhou has reached its peak since he was taught the turtle lion dance by Yuan Zhou, and his knife skills have made great progress, and then was affirmed by the old man Wang Huai. .
After becoming a disciple, Wang Mingjie put himself very low, putting aside his identity as a famous chef, and studied with Yuan Zhou in a down-to-earth manner. Therefore, among the many disciples, apart from Cheng Zhaomei, Wang Mingjie was definitely the one who made the fastest progress.
And Yuan Zhou also likes the hard-working Wang Mingjie very much. No one dislikes hard-working and humble people.
Sugar turtle belongs to Zhejiang cuisine, but they are both Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines. There are some differences between Zhejiang cuisine and Jiangsu cuisine. Wang Mingjie took great pains to make the most perfect sugar turtle he could this time.
And we can’t just blindly learn how to make Zhejiang-style sugar turtles, we also need to incorporate the advantages of Su-style pastries, so that it can be regarded as Wang Mingjie’s own sugar turtle.
"The brown sugar ratio is very good, but although Mingjie has made great progress in his knife skills, he is still a little behind when it comes to wood carving. You don't need to carve yourself. You should focus on improving your knife skills first, and do the rest slowly." Yuan Zhou said.
He could tell at a glance that these turtle models were carved by Wang Mingjie himself, because many of the line habits were the same as Wang Mingjie's knife-wielding habits.
"Junior Brother Wang, this turtle looks much better than me. It seems that I have to hurry up with my knife skills." Zhang Longquan got closer and studied it carefully.
"That's right, Senior Brother Wang's carpentry skills should be among the best among our brothers. It seems that I have to work hard too." Mi Hao said.
"Junior Brother Wang's Sugar Turtle is the only one among us. It's really good. We all need to learn from Junior Brother Wang." Cheng Zhaomei said.
Since their apprenticeship was successful, as disciples of the almighty Yuan Zhou, the disciples headed by Cheng Zhaomei have been both proud and busy.
Masters are all versatile. If an apprentice only knows one cuisine and has no other talents, can he have the nerve to loudly say that his master is Yuan Zhou? Isn't it embarrassing?
So the apprentices started to start side jobs one after another, vowing to cook their own cuisine while also taking into account some other skills. Of course, everyone did what they could. Generally, they only took care of one talent, and those who had the spare capacity to take care of both. These were all apprentices The result of private efforts.
"Master, I will pay attention to it." Wang Mingjie said directly without defending, and then thought for a while and continued: "Master, can I ask you something about carpentry in the future?"
He is still very interested in woodworking and carving. Ever since he was born in Yeluzi, he has been able to carve turtles in such an image. Although it is nothing in the eyes of masters like Yuan Zhou, but judging from his own exploration, It’s okay to have good talent.
When choosing the second skill, Wang Mingjie chose carpentry without hesitation.
To be honest, just looking at this turtle, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Mingjie is a carpenter who was delayed by the chef. Fortunately, Yuanzhou Zhuyu was there, otherwise Mr. Wang's meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots would be indispensable.
After all, this is not a proper job.
