Reborn – Super Chef

Food carving has a long history in China and has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period.

There is a relevant record in "Guanzi": "Carved eggs are cooked and chopped." The carved eggs here are carved on eggs and other ingredients, which is a kind of food carving. In the "Recipe" written by Wei Juyuan of the Tang Dynasty, there is a detailed explanation of a delicacy Yulu Tuan, which is called Diaosu, also known as Yuhuang Queen Mother Rice: rice noodles covered with egg fat, loaded with miscellaneous flavors. In addition, in Song Dynasty Lin Hong's "Mountain House Clearance. Xiangyuan Cup" there is more "Xie Yizhai is not addicted to alcohol... One day, after writing Yuqin, he ordered the left and right sides to cut incense rounds to make two cups, engrave them with flowers, and warm them. The wine is used to persuade guests, and the fragrance is so clear that it makes people feel that gold, jade and jade are all the same." record.

In addition, in Song Dynasty Meng Yuanlao's "Jiangjing Menghualu. Qixi Festival", "the melon is also carved into patterns, which are called flower melons." The play of insects and fish is called watermelon lantern." The record of food carving.

In short, food carving is a wonderful work left in China's five thousand years of culinary culture - of course, the strange work here is not the word of speech with a sense of ridicule on the Internet today, but the solid and commendable .

Food carving is the unique skill of Chinese chefs and the pearl of oriental food art. Of course, food carving is also impossible to carve with excellence due to the limitation of ingredients. It needs to grasp the charm through meaning and shape, and what should be omitted when carving It should also be omitted, and the place that should be exaggerated should be exaggerated, but even so, diners should be able to see what is carved at a glance.

Just like now.

Ye Chui carved out Lin Wei's family, and everyone can be recognized immediately. This is because Ye Chui has grasped the charm of Lin Wei's family.

If you want to learn food carving, you often need long-term practice. It is impossible to become a teacher without five or six years, and Ye Chui has practiced in this area for at least ten years. Absorbing the essence, Ye Chui has reached the level of an artist in terms of food carving.

His food carvings can have both form and spirit, which is fully reflected in this family carnival, and the whole dish remains original in taste. But the artistic conception conveyed is undoubtedly very touching. Although Lafayette sometimes seems quite unreasonable, she values ​​her family very much, and even stays unreasonably in the Lin family villa for a simple reason of health preservation . He didn't even let his son work too hard. These behaviors can be said to be unreasonable in some respects, but it also reflects the love of the old man for his family.

There is no doubt that this family reunion dish really touched her bones, and this dish also made her shed tears uncontrollably. This is the powerful appeal of this dish.

"Xiaoye, your cooking skills are really beyond words. This dish...is so good, it is better than all the dishes I have eaten before." Lafayette took the towel handed over by Wu Haimei and wiped the wet Out of the corner of his eyes, he continued suddenly, "But one thing is very bad."

"Eh? What is it?" Ye Chui couldn't help being surprised.

Zhang Ying was overjoyed, thinking that Lafayette would pick a thorn in this dish, she looked forward to it.

But in the end, Lafayette's words obviously made her happy for nothing——

"This two orioles singing green willows and this family carnival are so beautiful, how do you let me get rid of chopsticks?" Lafayette continued leisurely.

The food is so good that I can't bear to eat it with chopsticks...

This is clearly the ultimate compliment to the dish!

Ye Chui couldn't help laughing. So he said with a smile: "Although these two dishes are beautiful and magnificent, the beauty is only fleeting. You can only truly appreciate the deliciousness of this dish when you eat it. Grandma, you can eat it. Besides, if If you like it, I can make it for you in the future."

"Yes, yes, Ye Chui's knife skills are very good, and it only took less than half an hour to carve these." Lin Wei also said with a proud smile.

But when they heard Lin Wei's words, the others were a little shocked again. It was because they suddenly realized that Ye Chui only had one hour to cook the dishes, and less than half an hour to carve these two dishes. These carvings were completed in such a short time. This can't be described with a sentence of uncanny workmanship, can it?

Even if an ordinary chef can do this level of carving, it probably won't take too long...

It takes a day or two to play with vegetable carving, and the ingredients will stink by then!

Lin Zhengdao found that he couldn't have any expectations of Ye Chui at all, because these expectations would always turn into surprises of the same degree. After he realized it, he smiled and said to Lafayette: "Mom, I think what Ye Chui said is quite right. Don't hesitate, these foods are made to satisfy people's desires, and in this case, you should eat them heartily, this is the greatest significance to these ingredients."

"But..." Lafayette looked at the family carnival with an indescribably happy expression, "Who should I eat first?"

Everyone: "..."

Finally, after discussion, it was finally decided that everyone in the Lin family should eat their own food for this family reunion.

This carving is completely made of radish, and it is still a whole raw carrot, but because of these carvings, both Lafayette and Lin Zhengdao, who originally disliked carrots, think that the taste is not annoying at all, even I enjoyed eating it very much. It is estimated that starting today, they will no longer hate the taste of carrots...

This is also the magical effect of Ye Chui's dishes today, making people like ingredients that they originally hated.

Of course, this is not Ye Chui's ultimate goal——

"Grandma, in fact, all things in the world are interdependent, and nature has its own unique food chain. Whether human beings are vegetarians or eat meat, they are all firmly part of the food chain. If this is the case, why do we have to stick to being a vegetarian? "Ye Chui watched Lafayette finished eating the carrots of his statue, and said to her with a solemn expression, "You are getting old now, if you want to ensure a healthy and long life, you should supplement enough nutrition. I think you should eat some meat in moderation It’s also impossible.”

Ye Chui is trying to persuade Lafayette to give up being a vegetarian!

In the past, both Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei talked about Lafayette in this way, but what they got was a scolding from Lafayette. Obviously, it is not easy for a person who is a vegetarian because he believes in Buddhism to give up this habit. Hearing Ye Chui's words, both Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei showed worried expressions at the same time, fearing that the goodwill that Ye Chui had just accumulated with Lafayette would suddenly disappear.

Zhang Ying finally found a way to beat Ye Chui. She hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, isn't it too much for you to say that? Lafayette chose to be a vegetarian only because he wanted to be kind. You are not embarrassing her by letting her eat meat. Make her give up her faith?"

"Believe in Buddhism to do good, but it doesn't have to be accomplished by being a vegetarian. In my opinion, real goodness should be more about taking practical actions, rather than restricting one's diet. The vegetarian diet in Buddhism is just to calm the mind and carry out Self-cultivation. We ordinary people don’t have to ask ourselves so much. As long as we have a kind heart, why would the Buddha mind such things as vegetarian food and meat? The most important thing is a word of kindness.” Ye Chui said to Lafayette seriously, “Yi In my opinion, if you really have faith, you should eat meat happily, so that those meat ingredients can be used.”

If you experience Ye Chui's firmness in detail, it's like nonsense, as if saying that if I don't eat meat, it will make meat meaningless, but these words are spoken under such circumstances. But it was undoubtedly the one that touched Lafayette's mood the most, and made her show a thoughtful expression, which was obviously a little shaken.

Not only did she not sternly refute Ye Chui, but she was thinking about whether to give up the idea of ​​continuing to be a vegetarian!

This once again surprised Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei. The magic power of Ye Chui's food can make vegetarians break their vows and give up their beliefs?

Zhang Ying was even more dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Ye Chui's influence on Lafayette would be so great. If it continues like this, wouldn't it be impossible to achieve the goal of keeping Lafayette in Xizhou City after all her efforts?

"Lafayette, if you eat meat, the Buddha will blame you." Zhang Ying whispered hastily.

Ye Chui also smiled and said to Lafayette: "Grandma, if you don't take good care of your body, Weiwei and uncles and aunts will feel distressed."

Is the Buddha and his family more important?

Although Lafayette believes in Buddhism. But it is obvious that the weight of family members in her heart is only heavier.

Knowing Ye Chui's plan, Lin Wei immediately continued: "That's right, grandma, you are a vegetarian every day, and if there is any problem with your body, I will be very distressed."

Wu Haimei also hurriedly stated: "Yes, Mom. Eating meat and supplementing nutrition can make you healthy and healthy. I think you should listen to Ye Chui's advice."

Lin Zhengdao also said: "Mom, I think what Ye Chui said makes sense."

"This... let me think about it carefully." Lafayette's mind was obviously shocked today. Ye Chui's table of dishes gradually improved, but in the end it made a person who had believed in Buddhism for decades All shaken.

And at this time, Ye Chui leisurely delivered the most fatal blow: "Grandma, the Chinese diet is mainly based on meat. In fact, if you can eat meat, I still have countless delicacies that I can cook for you Yes, the Manchu Banquet is no problem, it is the highest state of our Chinese food, the food that Lafayette Cixi in the Qing Dynasty wanted to use every day."

Lafayette: "..."

This old lady is definitely completely moved now!

"Hey, I'm getting old and my mind is not good. I have to take a nap at noon..." She stood up on the chair and wanted to go back to the room to sleep before deciding on the issue of faith.

But Ye Chui said: "Grandma, walking a hundred steps after a meal is the traditional way of health preservation in China. You should exercise for a while before taking a nap. This is the best way for your body."

"Yes, yes, Xiaoye, you are right." Lafayette nodded hastily, "Weiwei, you can go shopping with grandma."

"Okay." Lin Wei hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Now, Lafayette seems to have completely forgotten the existence of Zhang Ying, and she seems to have completely forgotten the health-preserving methods that Zhang Ying taught before!

Seeing Lin Wei help Lafayette to leave, Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei showed relaxed smiles on their faces. If this goes on, Lafayette will be completely "controlled" by Ye Chui in a short time, and Lin Zhengdao will also be able to be completely "controlled" by Ye Chui. Being able to gain enough freedom to rush to take care of his company's current business made Lin Zhengdao couldn't help showing a touch of gratitude to Ye Chui. Originally, he was not sure whether Ye Chui could affect Lafayette. Attitude, but now he understands that Ye Chui has fully met his expectations.

"Uncle and aunt, please continue eating. There are still some dishes left in the kitchen, and Mama Wu can bring them up later." Ye Chui said to the two with a smile.

"Ye Chui, sit down too, now you are not an outsider, let's eat together." Wu Haimei greeted quickly.

Ye Chui couldn't help but smile, is this the rhythm of a family already...

Zhang Ying glanced at the dishes made by Ye Chui, and she was full of expectations for these delicacies, and now she was feeling very hungry, so she wanted to sit down and eat, but how could Wu Haimei make her wish come true: "Miss Zhang, just now you seem to be very dissatisfied with Ye Chui's food, pick and choose, how can this work, you are a guest, you must be satisfied, please go back to your room first, after we finish eating I will ask Mama Wu to cook some food for you."

This is a disguised form to chase people away, but Wu Haimei still speaks very politely, making it hard for people to find fault.

"..." Zhang Ying was stunned for a moment, she really felt that it was inappropriate for her to stay here, so she gave Ye Chui a cold look, and then went back to her room resentfully.

Lin Wei supported Lafayette for a walk and came back soon. Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei's lunch was about the same. The two of them seemed to deliberately not want to be like a broken electric light, so they left the table with a smile and gave the place to Ye Follow Lin Wei.

At this time, Lin Wei's face was full of happiness. Suddenly, she thought of something, let out a chuckle, and ran to the kitchen to take out the statue of Ye Chui's carrot carved by Ye Chui. This is a carrot. Although it is beautiful, it is impossible. How long has it been stored, she shook it in front of Ye Chui, and said to Ye Chui: "This must be eaten as soon as possible."

"Yes..." Ye Chui said with a smile.

"Crackling."

Lin Wei bit off Ye Chui's head in one bite, and ate it very crispy.

Ye Chui: "..."

Lin Wei is expressing "Do I want to eat you in one bite?"

In the guest room on the second floor.

Zhang Ying, who was hungry, had an angry expression on her face. After walking back and forth in the room for a few times, she finally made up her mind, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and dialed a certain number.

After a while, the other side connected: "Zhang Ying, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Zhang, I might fail..." Zhang Ying hurriedly explained. (~^~)
