Reborn – Super Chef

In the lobby of the Chen's Hotel, the fat man of Chinese descent was devouring the plate of mapo tofu. Chen Tian, ​​who was sitting next to him, had only eaten one bite until now, but after this bite, the originally critical expression on her face looked It's gone, but it's replaced by... a look of sadness and remembrance.

Even her eyes filled with tears.

How is this going?

Chen Jiao, Han Yuyan, Li Xiuyun, Angel Tang Shanshan and other onlookers were all stunned.

Are you moved to tears after eating vegetables?

Is this plate of mapo tofu really so contagious?

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her sister's tears, Chen Jiao asked in panic.

"I'm fine..."

Chen Tian rubbed his tears with his hands, and smiled at Chen Jiao: "I just thought of my father... Where did you find this peppercorns, did you bring them from Huaxia? If I didn't remember If it’s wrong, there’s no prickly ash sold in Chinatown at all.”

"Sister, I guess you won't be able to guess." Mentioning this matter, Chen Jiao couldn't help feeling complacent again, "The weird tree in our old courtyard turned out to be a pepper tree. Mr. Ye Chui went to the old courtyard to pick up things, and Mr. Ye Chui happened to see the tree and recognized it."

"That strange tree in the old courtyard?"

Chen Tian stood up from her seat. She thought of the strange tree at home when she was a child. At that time, her father took good care of the tree. I like it, but I didn't expect that this tree turned out to be a pepper tree, so...

Ye Chui saw what Chen Tian was thinking, so he smiled and said: "That's right, when your father made Chen's tofu, he put pepper in it, and pepper is one of the essential condiments for your Chen's tofu." , I just came to you to remove the peppercorns."

Chen Tian's body moved slightly, and subconsciously sat down on the seat again, with a somewhat strange expression on his face, and looked at the mapo tofu on the table again, she picked up the vegetable spoon and scooped it up again Take a spoonful and continue to taste it carefully.

This dish is very similar to the Chen's tofu that I have learned over the years. It is not even worse than my own in several flavors, but at the same time it has added several new flavors.

The first is the numbness of peppercorns. The combination of this taste and spicy makes her feel indescribably refreshing and delicious. In addition, there is the crispness from the beef cubes, which is not available in her Chenjia tofu.

Chen Tian learned Chen's tofu in the era when meat was poisonous, and she became famous five years ago. Due to the limitations of her cooking skills, although she intends to make some breakthroughs in this dish, she is not good enough after all. He also had the idea of ​​adding meat to seasoning, but he had never been able to put it into practice. However, the beef in Ye Chui's dish is naturally made with tofu. After the beef cubes are cooked, the kind of The crispy texture, combined with the spicy taste, is really a good enjoyment.

She was secretly stunned once again by the skill of frying garlic sprouts. Mapo tofu is seasoned with garlic sprouts, which is what she did too, but Ye Chui's dish can keep the garlic sprouts crispy in shape, but the texture is not It's already very soft.

Such a small place in this dish, but she couldn't help being amazed - I'm afraid that even those seven or eight star chefs would not feel more deeply about these places than she did.

Enjoying this mapo tofu, from being moved at first, it gradually turned into amazement, and then I was impressed. Chen Tian, ​​who has never eaten much, actually ate the whole dish into her mouth, and finally she put down the food in her hand. spoon.

"Sister..." Chen Jiao couldn't help asking worriedly seeing Chen Tian's expression was a bit strange.

However, Chen Tian looked at Ye Chui with a pious smile: "Mr. Ye Chui, Chen's tofu is not as good as your craftsmanship, I am willing to bow down!"

After Ye Chui came to Chinatown, he challenged the first dish of Chen's tofu, and now he has won it!

Han Yuyan and Li Xiuyun showed happy expressions.

The culinary competition does not necessarily require the two parties to pull out the venue for a competition, and it can also be directly convinced by the other chef like this. In fact, Ye Chui made a bold statement to single out Chinatown. What he wants to do is not to go directly to Chinatown. Then regardless of the three seven twenty-one, people block and kill Buddha against Buddha, he pays more attention to let the other party understand the truth of tracing back to the source. Although the food in Chinatown has undergone some changes over the years, it still belongs to China. It is the relationship that blood is thicker than water, and it cannot be changed.

In short, when children are jumping around, Ye Chui, as a parent, must teach them a lesson, let them understand that no matter how powerful they are, they are no better than Lao Tzu!

"In the future, the name Chenjia Tofu should not be used anymore, and it should be changed back to Mapo Tofu." Ye Chui smiled and said to Chen Tian, ​​"This is the name it should have, I think it was probably your grandpa. After the first generation came to Chinatown, they opened a restaurant and found that there was no pepper. Although the mapo in the mapo tofu dish is not the same as pepper, it has become the main flavor of this dish over time. , there is no Ma Po Tofu, so it is not easy to continue to use this name, so I changed to the name Chen Jia Tofu. In your parents' generation, your father tried his best to transplant a pepper tree. He has it, but he doesn’t have the ability to make this dish flourish, but I think he must want to restore the name of Mapo Tofu to this dish in his heart, and in your generation, I think this wish should be fulfilled.”

Hearing Ye Chui's suggestion, Chen Tian's actually very slender shoulders trembled slightly. The original name of Chen's Tofu was Mapo Tofu, so it's understandable to change it back to the original name, but...lost in the cooking competition, The other party proposed to change the name, but it carried an indescribable sense of shame.

If you lose, you even have to change your name?

She devoted her whole life to this dish, and this situation made her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded sadly: "Chenjia Tofu will be renamed Mapo Tofu in the future, and I will admit that this dish is authentic Chinese cuisine, and this dish belongs to Chinese cuisine!"

After saying so, she stood up a little decadently, and walked outside the restaurant.

That back figure was indescribably lonely, as if carrying the depression of a loser.

"elder sister……"

Chen Jiao suddenly felt a pain in his heart and couldn't help shouting.

He suddenly felt that he was wrong, how could he team up with other people to deal with his sister?

He clearly knew that this dish was a dish that his sister regarded as his life, but he took the initiative to help other people to compete with his sister. He thought that if his sister lost, his mind would be diverted from this dish, and the courage that was always on his shoulders It will be looser, but...but how is that possible?

This will only bring endless harm to my sister!

How can he look like this?

At this moment, Chen Jiao also suddenly understood something. He heard Ye Chui's argument with his sister outside the Chen's restaurant yesterday. At that time, he brought Ye Chui and his party to his hotel by mistake. He told himself that It's for my sister's good, to let my sister taste the taste of failure, so that she will no longer be obsessed with this dish, but in fact, why is my sister's honor for this dish not his honor?

At that time, he actually hoped that his sister could take up this challenge, and taught Ye Chui and others a lesson. He never thought that his sister would lose to others in this dish. Yes, my sister spent her whole life cooking this dish. How could she lose a dish?

But she lost now. Looking at her sister's lonely figure, at that moment Chen Jiao felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Chen Tian didn't respond to Chen Jiao, and walked towards the door.

At this time, Ye Chui's voice suddenly sounded: "Wait a minute, since you admit defeat, do you want to leave like this?"

Chen Tian's figure suddenly paused.

Chen Jiao looked at Ye Chui angrily, like an angry lion for a moment.

And Han Yuyan, Tang Shanshan and Li Xiuyun also looked at Ye Chui with some puzzlement. They have lost, should they continue to attack each other? This is not something Ye Chui would do.

Ye Chui smiled and continued: "Chen Family Tofu is going to be renamed Mapo Tofu, so of course you have to use the most authentic Mapo Tofu recipe. The name Mapo Tofu is a symbol of your Chen family's return to their ancestors. But if the tofu you make in the future is not the authentic Mapo tofu, wouldn't it be embarrassing to your ancestors?"

Hearing Ye Chui's words, Chen Tian's expression moved, and suddenly understood Ye Chui's meaning, she turned to look at Ye Chui: "You...you want to teach me how to make authentic mapo tofu?"

"Do you want to learn?" Ye Chui asked with a smile.

A smile of joy appeared on Chen Tian's lonely face, and she nodded vigorously: "Think!"

Chen Jiao also showed a smile on his face, and hurried to Chen Tian's side: "Sister, that's great, you spent too much effort for Chen's tofu... oh, no, it's Mapo tofu. Now that you have Ye Chui as a master, you will have a lot of peace of mind, and you should think more about your own life."

Chen Tian smiled and nodded. Chen's tofu is a heavy burden on her shoulders. Now this burden has been relieved to a certain extent. She suddenly looked at Ye Chui, and then asked without thinking: "Ye Chui Master Chui...do you have a girlfriend?"

Everyone: "..."

I'll go, what rhythm is this?

Sister Han immediately stood in front of Ye Chui: "No, no, Master already has a girlfriend."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just asking casually." Chen Tian hurriedly said with some embarrassment, "Miss Han, you are so beautiful, you can't match Master Ye Chui very well."

"Ah? Me? That's not it..." Han Yuyan hurriedly tried to defend himself.

Ye Chui patted Han Yuyan's shoulder with some sweat: "Stop talking, the more you talk, the more chaotic you will be..." (~^~)
