chapter-1635

"Impossible, impossible."

"I can't do it, this is just a fantasy."

"The people of ancient times have too much imagination. That's why I don't think there's any real perfume you're talking about."

When tan kuohai, Ji Yi's good friend, heard Yuan Zhou's description of the real perfume, he directly denied it three times in a row.

However, because of the pastry, the pastry referred to the Wheaten food and snacks. Although Ji Yi was the legendary King of Wheaten food for the seventh time, as the name suggested, he was better at snacks. The Wheaten food was just adding flowers on top of a brocade, so he was not very good at it.

By the way, why were there only seven tournaments? it wasn't that they were interrupted, but that Ji Yi had been the one to win seven consecutive tournaments, which directly led to the indefinite suspension of the cooked Wheaten food competition.

Every master had their own brilliant points ...

Getting back to the main topic, Yuan Zhou had always been particular about finishing today's business by today. After being reminded by Zhou Shijie, he called Ji Yi in the afternoon.

Coincidentally, Ji Yi, who liked to wander around, happened to be in Chengdu. Therefore, Yuan Zhou found a convenient time for master Ji Yi to ask for advice.

As a result, Ji Yi also put forward a series of ideas. After Yuan Zhou's analysis, he still couldn't figure them out.

"Just because I can't think of it doesn't mean others can 'T. I have a friend." Ji Yi said.

Then, Ji Yi caught his old friend, tan kuohai, who had just celebrated his 60th birthday not long ago. He was not as famous in the cooking industry as Ji Yi, but his family had started making noodles in the Hongwu era.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, tan kuohai's ancestors even went to Italy to participate in the famous Italian pasta competition. Based on their understanding of pasta, they won first place in the Italian pasta competition and were the only Chinese to win the Italian pasta competition.

It shocked the foreign countries on the spot and was known as Fantasy tan by foreigners. After the founding of the country, the tan family abandoned many foreign industries and moved back to China.

Tan kuohai had a lot of rare documents in his house. But when Yuan Zhou explained his purpose of visit, the first scene appeared.

"What do you mean you can't do it? it's impossible. Is your old habit acting up again?" Before Yuan Zhou explained, Ji Yi said directly.

"Uh ..." Although tan kuohai's name sounded a bit domineering, he seemed to be afraid that Ji Yi would be angry, so he quickly explained.

He replied,"no, brother Ji. I can be considered as someone who has seen at least hundreds of different types of noodles. Some are exquisite, some are simple, and some have unique tastes. However, I have never heard of anything that can improve the taste of the noodles by so much, let alone seen it."

Yuan Zhou said,"you're right, head chef tan. The authenticity of the real perfume remains to be seen. I just want to ask you today. If the real perfume exists, is it theoretically possible to achieve it?" After all, head chef tan, you are a master of cooked Wheaten food. "

"In theory?" Tan kuohai fell into deep thought. After a moment, he raised his head and asked,"Can I take a look at the article on real perfume?"

"It's not convenient to carry ancient books around, but I have photos." While saying that, Yuan Zhou took out his phone and opened the picture. He had taken the picture specially to ask Zhou Shijie for help. The picture quality of his phone was very good, so it was very clear. Even the punctuation could be seen clearly.

"He's actually so serious about such a record. No wonder he's a publicly acknowledged master at such a young age." Tan kuohai couldn't help but think when he saw the short page, but he soon began to read the real perfume seriously.

After studying the ancient text for a long time, tan kuohai muttered to himself,"this is impossible too","is this the case?" "I don't think I can do that","I seem to have seen it before"...

After toot for about 20 minutes, tan kuohai thought of a possibility and said,""I have an idea. Let me organize my words."

After a long while, tan kuohai said,"in the past, the ancients liked to omit a lot of things when they wrote. Some people say that ancient poetry and literature are the art of omission, just like 'when the yellow flowers drizzled, they urged the ferry'. Because the subject was omitted, this poem has several interpretations."

Tan kuohai first said a lot of irrelevant things, but neither Yuan Zhou nor Ji Yi urged him. The former was because he didn't want to disturb others while they were talking, while the latter was because he had been an old friend for many years and knew tan kuohai very well.

"So, I took a look. The book didn't clearly state that he only added real perfume, so he might have omitted the steps that he thought were unimportant." Tan kuohai said,"or rather, the shop actually added two things, but one of them is added when the customer can't see it."

"Brother Ji, head chef Yuan, do you understand what I mean?" Tan kuohai looked at the two.

"I understand, but I've also read the records of real perfume in 'guanggong's travels'.'Amazement','shocking news', and 'shocking sight'. There were three 'surprises' in it. If there were other seasonings other than the supplementary ingredients, I'm sure they would have written it down." Ji Yi said.

"But if the customer doesn't see it," Ji Yi said,"it's possible to add another thing. He has a unique skill in our dessert business,'hiding a group'."

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant, brother Ji." Tan kuohai nodded.

He didn't know when this tactic originated from. In the past, when the poor bought steamed buns, they could only buy the dough that had been fermented and kneaded. The ball-hiding function was to hide a small ball of flour in front of the customer in a few seconds.

What Ji Yi and tan kuohai meant was that the real perfume might be a reverse use of a technique similar to hiding a group. The real perfume was just a cover, and in fact, the seasoning had been re-added without the customer's sight.

"If you really don't have any new ideas, I think this is a good idea." Ji Yi said,"in the field of hand speed, most people think that only industries such as thousand doors, colored doors, hanging doors, and tuning doors will study it. In fact, our cooking industry is not bad at hand speed. I think it can completely reach the level written in the ancient books."

There were many kinds of industries in the underworld. Colored door referred to magic tricks, hanging door referred to Street tricks, changing door referred to paper, and thousand door was needless to say. It was not the main door, but a side door.

"Thank you, head chef Ji and head chef tan," Yuan Zhou said.

Ji Yi waved his hand."You're welcome. It's been a long time since I've seen someone studying ancient books so hard, especially a young chef who has become famous."

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've been in such a good mood." Tan kuohai said.

After the matter of the real perfume was settled, Yuan Zhou, tan kuohai and Ji Yi only talked about the cooked Wheaten food. After all, Yuan Zhou was also a master of Sichuan, su and Cantonese dishes.

The exchange didn't end until 4:30 in the afternoon. When Yuan Zhou returned to Taoxi road, it was already 5:00.

There was really too much dry food from the king of desserts and the noodle-based aristocratic families. Even Yuan Zhou still felt that he had not had enough.

"Boss, you're finally back. If you didn't come back soon, the shop would've exploded." Zhou Jia had been waiting at the door. When she saw Yuan Zhou, she ran over hurriedly.

The customers had already started to get their numbers and line up.

When they saw Yuan Zhou, they started to discuss among themselves.

"I'm so touched. I'm almost crying. I've been to Chengdu 17 times and I'm finally able to get in line tonight. But boss Yuan is not here all the time, so I've been flustered. Now that I see boss Yuan again, I'm really relieved and touched. "

"Boss Yuan, boss Yuan, manually break your voice."

"Brother, you're amazing. You actually came here 17 times. Although I didn't come here 17 times, I've already come here 5 times. If the waitress didn't keep saying that boss Yuan would come back, I would have definitely exploded on the spot."

"I read on the internet that you can get a reservation for about 1000 Yuan, but I was cheated. Master chef Restaurant really doesn't allow scalpers."

……

"Tricked by yellow ox?" Yuan Zhou's expression changed slightly. With his sensitive hearing, he could naturally hear all the sounds.

"Boss, you don't have to worry. That uncle has already called the police. The scammer has been arrested. Furthermore, big brother Yu Chu and the others have already explained on the internet that master chef Restaurant doesn't accept anyone who isn't their customer to line up for a meal or make a reservation." "I've also told the customers waiting in line just now," Zhou Jia said."Our master chef Restaurant absolutely doesn't have any channel for reservation."

"Yes, you've worked hard." Yuan Zhou took a look at the orderly manner of the people in line. It seemed that Zhou Jia had really learned a lot from sister Wan.

"Hehe, it's not hard," said Zhou Jia."Boss, it took you so long to come back. It must be harder for you."

Yuan Zhou didn't answer him. He directly entered the restaurant and went upstairs to wash up. After that, he changed his clothes and went downstairs.

"Hu ..." Yuan Zhou took a deep breath and calculated,""There's less than an hour left to prepare the ingredients for dinner. It's a little rushed. After all, there's roast goose tonight. "

Four roast geese a month was a rare opportunity for the old woman.

"Oh right, system, did you count master Ji in the eight people you admire?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of that and then asked.

The system displayed,"it doesn't count."

"En, okay. I understand." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

In fact, Ji Yi and master tan kuohai, whom he had just met today, both admired Yuan Zhou very much. Otherwise, Ji Yi wouldn't have asked his old friend to come here.

As expected, the master admired him. He had a long way to go. However, Yuan Zhou was mentally prepared for that, as the main mission was never easy.

Shen Min arrived before dinner time ended. She said that she would have a lot of time before graduation and should come earlier to help the restaurant.

In fact, Zhou Jia knew that it was because she wanted to come to Yuan Zhou's restaurant more often to have a look before leaving. Zhou Jia was the same. Recently, she had to delay her departure for at least one or two hours after work.

Yuan Zhou didn't say anything when he saw that. Just now, he had discussed with Shen Min and decided on the time of the farewell banquet. It was set to be at 8:30 three days later and Yuan Zhou would stop eating supper for a day on that day.

He then called Zheng Xian and the others to inform them as Yuan Zhou had promised to call them after he had confirmed the time.

With Shen Min and Zhou Jia there, Yuan Zhou naturally became more free after dinner and had time to complete the idea proposed by master tan kuohai.

Although Yuan Zhou's hand speed was not his Forte, his knife skills were good and his hand speed was naturally not slow either.

He prepared the props, small packages of seasonings, and small packages of special tendon changing powder. With such a small size, he could hide them well in his palm. Of course, the tendon changing powder was prepared by Yuan Zhou himself, not the black-hearted additives that had a risk of cancer like those sold outside.

For the transparent perfume, Yuan Zhou chose warm water. This could satisfy the transparency mentioned in the ancient books. In order to better restore Yuan Zhou's appearance, he even wore a short coat. In the early Qing Dynasty, the stores in small places should also wear short coats.

Yuan Zhou turned on his phone to record a video.

He cooked a bowl of noodles that were quite melted without any seasoning. Yuan Zhou also deliberately kneaded it badly. Although the wheat, the raw material of the flour, was excellent, it really didn't taste very good.

"This is probably the most unpalatable thing I've made recently." Yuan Zhou smiled and then started to get down to business.

"So you want good food. You should have said so earlier. Bad food and good food are different." Yuan Zhou even imitated the lines in the ancient books, pretending that there was a customer on the opposite side and put the packet of seasoning into the empty bowl when he took the bowl back.

Then, he added warm water, which was the real perfume, and mixed the seasoning into the noodles. Finally, he mixed a bag of special tendon powder and it was done!

Yuan Zhou pressed the pause button at once. Then, he ate the bowl of noodles that he had just cooked and let out a "Hu."

The taste was definitely two levels higher than just now. On one hand, there was a comparison. On the other hand, the ingredient package prepared by Yuan Zhou was fragrant, spicy and refreshing, so the contrast was more obvious.

"I'm satisfied with the taste. Let me see if I can make it so that ordinary customers can't tell. " Yuan Zhou watched the video again.

"The front part is good, but it'll be easy to notice if you add tendon Dao powder at the back." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and felt it should be able to be solved.

The reason why he didn't add the cloth bag and tendon Dao powder into the warm water was that if he added the former, it would become a little brown, and the latter would become a little red, which would not be satisfied with the transparency.

"My hand speed should be faster." While saying that, Yuan Zhou tried again.

Of course, in accordance with the fine tradition of not wasting anything, Yuan Zhou ate up the bowl of noodles just now.

The recording continued. With the experience from the first time, the speed at which he added the tendon Dao powder was even faster. The instant he handed it over, the noodles were already mixed.

"There's still a small problem. I was a little too deliberate when I mixed the noodles. " Yuan Zhou ate the second bowl of noodles and then cooked the third.

As smart as Yuan Zhou was, he only cooked 50 grams of the second bowl.

After going back and forth four times, Yuan Zhou finally couldn't find any loopholes in the recorded video. Then, he also successfully collapsed on his seat and looked at the ceiling with a blank look.

Yin ya, who had just entered the restaurant, was startled.

"Blockhead, blockhead, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Yin ya asked anxiously. Her tone was filled with concern.

Yuan Zhou struggled to stand up and rubbed Yin ya,""I'm fine. I just ate too much. "

"Eh? Did you make something very, very delicious?" Yin ya looked at Yuan Zhou curiously. As far as she knew, slow-witted Yuan was a very self-disciplined person. It was definitely rare for him to be so full.

Of course, while talking, Yin ya still poured a cup of warm water for Yuan Zhou and put it at the side.

"Um ... I'm stuffed from eating too much noodles." Yuan Zhou answered.

“？”Yin ya's mind was filled with question marks. She asked again,"How much did you eat?"

"About half a Jin." When Yuan Zhou found Yin ya looking at him as if he was a fool, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't ruin his image as a Prince Charming in Xiao Ya's heart, so he immediately explained,""I've been studying a new type of noodles recently. That's why I'm eating so much to test the taste,"

"Mu Mu, with your culinary skills, what kind of noodles do you want to try so many times?" Yin ya asked curiously.

"It's not the taste. In fact, I was able to make it taste the first time. It's just a small problem with the technique, but I've solved it!" Yuan Zhou said.

"Since it's not about the taste, but the technique, why don't you just practice the technique? why do you still want to eat noodles?" Yin ya's interrogation came from her soul.

Yuan Zhou looked at the empty bowl and then at the video he had just recorded with his phone.

He was stunned.
