I’m Not a Scumbag

Zhan Yuansheng was mocking Lu Wanqiu, but why wasn't he mocking himself?

Or maybe he was actually jealous of Lu Wanqiu.

At this moment, he had never expected himself to be a woman so much.

If he was a woman, he could cry unscrupulously like Lu Wanqiu, and cry as he wanted.

The regrets that have been buried in my heart for a long time can also be relieved a little by tears.

But he can't.

Just because he is a man.

As a man, he was born to be the head of the family, the big tree that shelters the family from the wind and rain.

He can bleed, sweat, but not cry.

As a man, all tears have been shed at the moment of adulthood.

Because this cruel world does not believe in tears.

…………

Facing Lu Wanqiu's white eyes, Zhan Yuansheng just smiled, then picked up the "Kung Pao Chicken" and put a peanut into his mouth first.

quack!

The oiled peanuts are very crispy.

With a light bite, the whole piece burst into dozens of pieces, and after a little grinding, it turned into a peanut paste with a strong aroma.

The finishing touch is on oil control.

The oil is a mixture of lard and peanut oil. After deep-frying the peanuts at low temperature until they are crispy, Lin Fang used his fists to drain most of the oil that penetrated into the peanuts.

As a result, the oiled peanuts not only have the special taste of mixed oil, but also have the special aroma of fried food, and have the ultimate crispy taste that other cooking methods do not have. The only downside.

Zhan Yuansheng almost couldn't hold back his loud praise when a peanut was in the mouth.

He is also a good drinker.

Any good wine is always inseparable from the common appetizers such as peanuts, fennel beans, and dried tofu.

Zhan Yuansheng didn't know how many kinds of peanuts he had eaten, whether it was boiled, fried in sand, fried in oil, or salted and dried, and no matter how excellent the famous chef's cooking was, but none of them could compare to the peanuts at the moment.

This peanut is too delicious, right?

What made Zhan Yuansheng even more stunned was that this peanut was just an accessory for the dish "Kung Pao Chicken". Although it was important, it was only a supporting role.

The real protagonist, however, is the piece of chicken leg meat that is brown and red in color.

After Zhan Yuansheng ate another peanut, he didn't wait any longer.

The drool that kept secreting in his mouth made him eagerly want to know, what is the difference between this "Kung Pao Chicken" and "Chenpi Chicken"!

"Goo!"

Zhan Yuansheng just stuffed the diced chicken on the chopsticks into his mouth, and his eyes almost didn't bulge out.

tender!

It's so tender!

It is not the kind of tenderness that melts after chewing twice, but the kind of tenderness that clearly has skin and tendons and is quite chewy, but as long as the teeth are cut, it will be divided into two immediately.

As expected of the chicken thigh meat!

Zhan Yuansheng felt that this was the real delicacy made with chicken thighs.

Chicken, it's as good as it should be!

This "Kung Pao Chicken" made by Lin Fang has four tastes of fragrant, crisp, tender and springy at the same time, and these four tastes have reached a delicate balance.

When eating peanuts alone, the aroma and crunch are balanced.

Tenderness and springiness are balanced when diced chicken is eaten alone.

But when peanuts and diced chicken are eaten together, the four flavors of fragrant, crisp, tender, and springy reconstitute another balance.

Thousands of words and countless compliments finally turned into words, but they were so pale and powerless, Zhan Yuansheng had to sigh: "This 'Kung Pao Chicken' is really delicious, why can't I eat it in the future? Got it!"

It doesn't matter if you haven't eaten this kind of food. With Zhan Yuansheng's financial resources, he can completely let other Lin-level chefs cook for him.

If you are shameless and willing to spend a little more money, it is not impossible to invite the quasi-dragon class.

But Lin Fang is a real dragon, the key is that he is not short of money!

He likes to cook, purely out of hobby.

This is so frustrating!

With Zhan Yuansheng's sigh, his memory returned to his childhood, back to the good time he and Zhang Hongxiu spent together.

At that time, he was very relaxed.

I look forward to meeting Zhang Hongxiu every day.

His parents had reminded him that he was about to get married, and he couldn't get too close to girls.

But he doesn't care.

He just wanted to stay with Zhang Hongxiu.

The Zhan family's poetry and books are heirlooms, and the rules are bigger.

Zhang Hongxiu's father was a shop owner. His ancestors were either merchants or craftsmen, so he didn't pay much attention.

On the contrary, I would like to have more contact with Zhang Hongxiu and Zhan Yuansheng.

Anyway, Zhan Yuansheng is a scholar, isn't he?

Zhan Yuansheng's time from Zhang Hongxiu to the time before Zhang Hongxiu's family left was the happiest time in his life.

At the time he didn't understand.

So when Zhang Hongxiu left, because of fear, because he didn't dare to take responsibility, and because of some pressure from the clan, when she left, he only needed to say "stay" to her, and he could have it forever. she.

But he didn't.

He said a lot.

The only thing she didn't say was the most important thing and what she wanted to hear the most.

Zhan Yuansheng suddenly remembered why he had forgotten that memory.

Because every word he said on the day of separation actually meant "I can't bear this responsibility, you better go".

Zhang Hongxiu may have understood, or not.

She finally left.

Only one sentence "Zhan Yuansheng, I hate you" was left, and there was no news from then on.

Zhan Yuansheng very much misses the time he once spent with Zhang Hongxiu.

Even if he stopped reading later, he became a businessman.

Even if his business is getting bigger and bigger, he has married a lady and has his own family and children.

Even if he becomes the president of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, he has a high position and has everything.

Even if he becomes a member of the "Cooking Association", he can taste all the food in the world.

Even if he lingers in the flowers, he has been to Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.

But he never felt happy again.

Because in his happiest time, there is her shadow.

She is gone, and so is his happiness.

…………

"Hongxiu..." After swallowing the food in his mouth, Zhan Yuansheng unconsciously reached out and grabbed it, trying to grab something.

But in the end, he couldn't catch anything.

The picture of the memory collapsed, and Zhan Yuansheng suddenly found that he was still in the kitchen, still tasting the "Kung Pao Chicken" made by Lin Fang.

Zhan Yuansheng didn't even care about the craftsmanship of Qualinfang, so he quickly stuffed peanuts and diced chicken into his mouth.

Food is still delicious.

Every bite greatly aroused Zhan Yuansheng's taste buds, allowing him to experience the ultimate beauty.

But the memory can't come back.

Even the memory picture of Zhang Hongxiu slowly began to blur.

Zhan Yuansheng has never missed the past so much like this moment.

It would be great if life could be repeated...

Zhan Yuansheng sighed, put down the plate, and was no longer in the mood to eat.

He found that he had done something wrong.

The mistake is, he shouldn't eat "Chenpi Chicken" first!

If he eats "Kung Pao Chicken" first, maybe he can be like Lu Wanqiu.

Every bite is full of memories.

After all, regret is a heavier emotion than nostalgia.

Under the weight of remorse, even the beautiful pictures in memory have become unbearable and heartbreaking.

Zhan Yuansheng turned his head to look at Lu Wanqiu, and found that she was crying, eating, and laughing at the same time. The whole person looked weird, like a lunatic, which made people feel both weird and funny.

Zhan Yuansheng knew that the reason why Lu Wanqiu did this was because he was immersed in his memory because he had also eaten the two dishes of "Chenpi Chicken" and "Kung Pao Chicken".

If possible, Zhan Yuansheng also wants to be like Lu Wanqiu.

How about crying and laughing?

How about being considered a lunatic?

How precious are those memories!

Suddenly, there was a thunderous noise outside.

"What's the matter?" Zhan Yuansheng looked back angrily at the servant in the corner.

The servant's attention was originally on the two dishes that Lin Fang made, and his face was full of covetousness.

Don't want to, the moment Zhan Yuansheng scolded him and turned his head, the servant immediately stood upright and responded quickly.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Commissioner, I'll go out and ask about the situation right away!" The servant agreed and left quickly.

This kind of role transition from fishing to focusing is too natural. The fault is that Lin Fang's five senses are sensitive, and he has seen the changes of the servant early, and he is afraid that he will be stunned by him.

Lin Fang couldn't help but sigh, with this skill of fishing, even in the later generations, I'm afraid that he can mix very well.

After a while, the servant who ran out ran back excitedly.

"Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, a new chef king is born, and the 'white-haired magic chef' has won the championship! Do you want to go out and see?"

No one responded to the servant's inquiry.

Zhan Yuansheng and Lu Wanqiu both looked at Lin Fang in surprise.

Others don't know what Bai Yutang's level is, but Zhan Yuansheng and Lu Wanqiu are members of the "Cooking Juice Association", but they are very clear.

According to the internal calculation of the "Cooking Juice Association", Bai Yutang is only the level of the top eight.

Being able to advance to the semi-finals before was already beyond the expectations of the two.

According to the estimates of the "Cooking Juice Association", the champion should have been created between Liang Qingfang of the Bazhen Square in the capital and Qin Yuhe of the Yuquan Restaurant in Jiangsu Province. How could it be Bai Yutang? How could it be Bai Yutang?

Both Zhan Yuansheng and Lu Wanqiu knew that Bai Yutang had gone to Lin Fang for a period of assault training before the competition.

But his assault training is nothing but white case kung fu.

When the eighth was in the fourth, the test question happened to be "麺", which made Bai Yutang take a lot of advantage.

Zhan Yuansheng and Lu Wanqiu estimated that Bai Yutang had exhausted his potential and would stop there.

How could they have imagined that Bai Yutang would win consecutive battles, defeating both Liang Qingfang of Bazhenfang and Qin Yuhe of Yuquan Restaurant, and won the final title of "Chef King"!

"Boss Lin, why is this?"

"Yes, Boss Lin, what kind of secret did you teach Bai Yutang to make him win the championship!"

Facing Zhan Yuansheng and Lu Wanqiu's extremely surprised questioning, Lin Fang couldn't help touching his nose, "I didn't teach him too much, did I? Most of the time I was doing it and he was watching. To be honest, I taught him. If you order something, you will teach him some white case skills, right?"

Zhan Yuansheng and Lu Wanqiu looked at each other and saw the word "unbelief" in each other's eyes.

However, since Lin Fang was unwilling to admit it, the two of them tacitly refused to mention it.

…………

Lin Fang made two dishes one after another, but Xiao Hei didn't eat a single bite, so he was already in a panic.

There was a big hair blocking him before, and he kept silent.

Taking advantage of Da Mao's attention, Xiao Hei interrupted, "Master! When are you going to get us something to eat?"

In addition to Lin Fang, there were a total of five people in the Douhua shop.

The five of them watched the game for a long time and then ate a few mouthfuls of noodles.

But no matter how delicious those noodles were, they couldn't compare to Lin Fang's craftsmanship.

What's more, the noodles are not oily and watery, and are easily digested.

A group of people were already starving.

What made it even more difficult was that they had to watch Zhan Yuansheng and Lu Wanqiu eat the dishes made by Lin Fang, but they could only keep cocking their noses and smelling the fragrance.

So, at this moment, Xiao Hei opened his mouth, except that Da Mao couldn't help but patted the back of his head to make him stop talking nonsense, the others were all silent in tacit understanding.

"Look at me!" Lin Fang patted his forehead lightly, and couldn't help laughing: "I forgot you guys. Well, anyway, the ingredients in the kitchen are quite complete. I'll make nine bowls for you. Bar!"

"Master, what are the nine bowls?"

"A special feature of Sichuan cuisine, also known as Baba Banquet, is mainly steamed vegetables." Lin Fang explained with a smile, "The cooking is too slow, I'm afraid you will be in a hurry, steam it in one pot and add a little more. The cooking is just right."

Hearing that Lin Fang was going to make nine bowls, Zhan Yuansheng's eyes lit up, "Boss Lin, these nine bowls, don't you mean nine dishes?"

Lin Fang nodded with a smile, "You can also say the same thing. Generally, there are nine dishes, but it can also be seven or eleven. I will see the situation. If time permits, it doesn't matter if you make a few more dishes."

"That……"

"Boss Lin~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I don't know if we have this taste, let's try it?" Lu Wanqiu rolled her eyes at Zhan Yuansheng, "Learn from me, and say whatever you want! Don't babble, it's not like man!"

Lin Fang smiled dumbly, "Of course. With your kitchen and your ingredients, there's no reason why you shouldn't eat together? Just enjoy it together later."

After that, Lin Fang started to prepare the ingredients.

Among these nine bowls, the four bowls, head bowl, meat buckle, miscellaneous buckle, and pork belly miscellaneous are the main dishes. The main dishes are served with bamboo shoots, taro, glutinous rice or kelp and vermicelli as side dishes. Gather five bowls.

Lin Fang had already wandered around the whole kitchen, and when he said that he wanted to make "nine big bowls", he already had a rough idea in his mind.

Soon, Lin Fang started to do it.

If it needs to be steamed in a pot, handle it first, set it aside, and then steam it together.

It takes more time to burn, marinate or stew, and then put it in the pot after processing.

It takes the least amount of time, and you only need to fry it for a few times to get it out of the pot, and put it at the end.

As Lin Fang put the dishes into the pot, all kinds of aromas that far exceeded the original taste of the food came out.

Soon, mouth-watering smells filled the kitchen.

Many people in the castle smelled the smell and came to the kitchen.

When Lin Fang handed over the dishes to his servants to serve on the table, the sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.

Someone even squeezed in through the crowd.
