Reborn – Super Chef

In the end, Ye Chui and Han Yuyan and Li Xiuyun stayed in Chen's Hotel. Chen Jiao didn't look bad, and he seemed sincere when he said he wanted to help Ye Chui deal with his sister.

Of course, Ye Chui didn't really trust him completely, and he still kept his eyes open. Anyway, they didn't really come to play in the gym. Even if Chinatown united to deal with them, they would definitely not do such things as ignoring human lives. As for stealing recipes, the Chenjia tofu at the Chenjia restaurant is actually very similar to the orthodox Mapo tofu in Ye Chui's view, and there is no need for it at all.

What's more, now Ye Chui really needs to find a place to live, preferably in Chinatown.

"Mr. Ye, today my hotel only has these two rooms, but a businessman will leave tomorrow, and I will clean up the rooms for you then." Chen Jiao led Ye Chui to the top floor of the hotel, pointing to the two rooms opposite the door. The room and Ye Chui said apologetically, "I'll invite you to squeeze together tonight."

Two men and one woman, two rooms are enough, and...Although Chen Jiao is not sure, but it feels like Han Yuyan and Ye Chui are a couple... There seems to be a difference in age between the two, but there is no difference between them. Are Xingren sisters and brothers in love?

And when Ye Chui only had two rooms, he took a look at Han Yuyan and Li Xiuyun, thinking that it would be no problem for him to squeeze in with Li Xiuyun at night, anyway, there would be a new room tomorrow, so he happily ordered Nodding: "Okay then."

Hearing Ye Chui's promise, Li Xiuyun felt a sudden inexplicable pain in his heart. He couldn't help thinking that Ye Chui and Han Yuyan were really together. Ye Chui, and Ye Chui also said that Han Yuyan was putting on clothes... It seems that the relationship between them is indeed like this. Although there is Lin Wei as a girlfriend, the relationship between Ye Chui and Han Yuyan is already that kind. It doesn't matter, now that you are abroad, you should sleep in the same room.

Although he wanted to condemn the other party's moral problems, he never knew how to speak up. This is a capable man...

As for Han Yuyan, she didn't think much about it at this time. She knew that Ye Chui was referring to Ye Chui and Li Xiuyun sleeping in the same room, and she was in the same room. Help them, or do you have any plans...

The three of them had their own concerns. After Chen Jiao briefly introduced the rooms, Li Xiuyun put his luggage in one of the rooms, and Ye Chui and Han Yuyan's luggage was carried by Han Yuyan, and she also went smoothly So he threw it into his own room - this made Li Xiuyun sigh even more in his heart, the two of them really planned to sleep in the same room...

"Boss Chen, since you want me to make mapo tofu here and challenge your sister, can I take a look at your kitchen first?" Ye Chui then said to Chen Jiao.

A good chef is very demanding about the place where he cooks, the stove, the kitchen utensils, and every aspect must be in line with his own heart in order to make the best dishes.

In fact, when Ye Chui came this time, he originally planned to bring his chopping incense, but unfortunately it is impossible to pass through the customs, and it is very troublesome to go through other procedures, so he can only come here to find a way, I don’t know Can Chen Jiao's kitchen satisfy him?

When Chen Jiao heard Ye Chui's words, his complexion couldn't help but darken, and he said with some embarrassment: "I have a kitchen here, but I have basically never used it, but don't worry, there are all kinds of things in it, Mr. Ye Chui , why don't you follow me to the kitchen below to have a look."

"Okay." Ye Hang nodded in agreement.

As expected, the Chen Family Hotel has a decent kitchen, but because it has not been used for a long time, it is full of dust everywhere, and there are no ingredients for cooking. Chen Jiao seems very uncomfortable about asking Ye Chui to challenge his sister. Shangxin immediately asked someone to clean it up, and even sent someone to buy ingredients, but Ye Chui was worried about other people, so he asked Han Yuyan and Tang Shanshan to prepare, and he even made a list for them.

In the afternoon, Ye Chui and Li Xiuyun also helped to clean up the kitchen, and the pots and pans were also cleaned. At this time, Ye Chui became a little strange, and asked Chen Jiao : "Since you don't prepare meals for guests here, why do you have such a kitchen? Who is this kitchen for?"

"Oh, when this hotel first opened, my sister couldn't cook Chen's tofu well. My father was not in good health at that time, and my sister and I were not very good at cooking. The restaurant was about to close. The kitchen is to deal with daily food and lodging expenses, but unexpectedly, when my father passed away, my sister took over the restaurant opposite. Homemade tofu, this dish has really made a name for itself and has become a signature dish in Chinatown..."

When talking about this, Chen Jiao couldn't help sighing again: "My sister has been entrusted to this dish all her life, people put her in that position, it's a heavy responsibility, she can only I want to make this dish more perfect. I don’t know how many things have been delayed in these years... I challenge her for you so that my sister can wake up. Don’t put all your thoughts on it, she I understand this person, if your tofu is really better than hers, I don't think she will be as persistent as she is now."

Listening to Chen Jiao's narration, Ye Chui was a little silent. He remembered that when he first met Chen Jiao at Chen's Restaurant today, he was arguing with Chen Tian. The content of the quarrel seemed to be because of Chen Jiao's pursuit of his sister What privacy has been revealed, it seems that Chen Jiao wants her sister to solve the single problem as soon as possible.

At this moment, Ye Chui still had no way to fully trust Chen Jiao, but Ye Chui believed that the courage Chen Jiao showed when he talked about his sister was true, so Ye Chui patted Chen Jiao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this job." will help you."

Chen Tian smiled at Ye Chui: "That's the best, but my sister has other misfortunes, and she has already excelled in making tofu. She plans to spend her whole life on this dish, so you should be careful."

"Yes." Ye Chui also laughed.

In the evening, the kitchen had been cleaned up, but Ye Chui glanced at the kitchen, but found that there was one most important thing missing: "Boss Chen, you don't seem to have a frying pan here?"

Chen Jiao patted his forehead: "The original frying pan here was taken away by my sister, but it doesn't matter, I will buy one soon... Alas, I suddenly remembered that there is a ready-made frying pan in my old house." , it was used by my dad before, I don’t know if it can still be used now, I’ll get it tomorrow.”

"That's fine." Ye Chui nodded.

It didn't take long for Han Yuyan and Tang Shanshan to return to the Chen's Inn with a lot of things, including all kinds of condiments and so on. As for the tofu, they will prepare it after the official opening tomorrow.

But at this time, Han Yuyan's expression was not very good: "Master, just now Tang Shanshan and I went all over the supermarkets and vegetable markets in Chinatown, but we didn't see any pepper for sale."

"There is no pepper for sale here?" Ye Chui was taken aback for a moment.

"No." Han Yuyan shook his head.

"Zanthoxylum bungeanum also has other names, big pepper, Sanjiao, Sichuan pepper, Shu pepper, don't they have any of these?" Ye Chui then asked.

"No, master, I checked the information on the Internet on purpose, and there is no prickly ash here...but can I find pepper?" Han Yuyan asked Ye Chui tentatively.

"No, pepper and Chinese prickly ash are not the same thing at all." Ye Chui shook his head and said, no wonder there is no prickly ash in Chen's tofu, and there is no prickly ash here.

Indeed, Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a kind of Chinese spice, and many Chinese spices are difficult for foreigners to accept. Even in the last life, it was very difficult to buy Zanthoxylum bungeanum, spiced spices, cinnamon and other things in American supermarkets, but this kind of spice in Chinatown There is no shortage of things, but this world is different from the world in Ye Chui's impression, even in Chinatown, there is no pepper to sell.

So, all the dishes here in Chinatown do not contain pepper?

"Sichuan peppercorn?"

At this time, Chen Jiao, who was standing aside, heard this term, and suddenly thought deeply: "I seem to have heard of this term, but I forgot where I heard it... Well, I always feel very familiar."

"It should be your father who said it." Ye Chui said to Chen Jiao with a wry smile. The Chen family is the orthodox creator of mapo tofu. The most formal way is not without peppercorns. Chen Tian and Chen Jiao's father may also know peppercorns. However, in the generation of Chen Tian and Chen Jiao, this most important seasoning was completely ignored.

Han Yuyan said worriedly, "Then what should we do, Master?"

"If there is no pepper... the mapo tofu I made may not have much advantage over the tofu made by Chen Tian." Ye Chui also said with some embarrassment. He ate Chen Tian's Chen's tofu today, although the method is the same as Ye Chui's. The orthodox way I know is slightly different, and there is no pepper for decoration, but the taste is still very outstanding. Of course, if Ye Chui makes this dish without pepper, he can also win against Chen Tian, ​​but it is impossible for Ye Chui to make this dish without pepper. The crushing style that Chui wanted won the opponent.

He shook his head: "Du Yu, hurry up and call Xiao Du and ask him to send some peppercorns by post, but it's been a few days, so I'll find a way to replace it with other things during this time." .”

"Oh, I'm going to call the elder brother right now." Han Yuyan nodded, then hurriedly turned and walked away.

For the time being, the pepper problem can only be like this, then Chen Jiao ordered some takeaways for dinner, and some guests in the hotel asked for mapo tofu by name, Chen Jiao tried to ask one of his clerks to bring mapo tofu to the opposite side , the result was driven back directly.

"Boss, your sister is still angry now. She knows that Mr. Ye is waiting for a few guests to stay in your restaurant, and she threatens to leave you alone." The clerk said with a bitter face, "I was beaten by your sister." A slap..."

"Okay, I'll give you a salary increase this month as compensation." Chen Jiao said hastily, and turned to look at Ye Chui helplessly.

So I can only eat takeaway at night. The dishes in Chinatown are very similar to Huaxia dishes, but there are some differences, more like full of some regional differences. That difference is neither good nor bad, but As far as Ye Chui feels, this level can never exceed the level of Huaxia's food...

As for the popularity of Chinatown cuisine far surpassing the status of Chinese cuisine in the international arena, it is more likely to be due to the influence of Chinatown in the United States, France, Japan and other countries, and it is more likely to have high-star chefs.

After dinner, it was already eight or nine o'clock. Ye Chui, Han Yuyan and Li Xiuyun, who were jet-lagged, were already too sleepy to keep their eyes open. The three of them said good night to Chen Jiao and walked to the room on the third floor.

Han Yuyan and Ye Chui walked behind, Han Yuyan had already called Tian Xiaodu just now, it was just early in the morning in Huaxia, Tian Xiaodu rushed to prepare for this matter, and by now he had packed a bag of prickly ash that weighed a catty I sent it out, using FedEx's expedited mail, and it is estimated that it will be received the next morning.

Li Xiuyun walked in front of the two. When he came to the room, he glanced at Ye Chui and Han Yuyan, and said to them with a sad face, "I'm too sleepy, so I'll go to bed first. I wish you two good night."

After speaking, he walked into the room and closed the door with a bang.

Ye Chui was stunned, walked over to push the door, and found that the door had been locked from the inside.

"This...what's the situation?" Ye Chui looked at Han Yuyan speechlessly.

Han Yuyan was even more speechless than Ye Chui: "What does he mean... let us sleep in the same room?"

Ye Chui tried to knock on the door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time - the heartbroken student Li Xiuyun was already lying on the bed with earphones to comfort himself...

Han Yuyan stood in the corridor and looked at Ye Chui who was knocking on the door. This sister suddenly understood something, and thought to herself, she deserves to be called brother by herself. Li Xiuyun is deliberately creating conditions for her...

Although it felt very embarrassing, she had to grasp this great opportunity no matter what she said.

So, thinking of this, Sister Han patted Ye Chui's shoulder shyly and blushingly: "Master, I think Brother Li has probably fallen asleep, and he will squeeze in with you when he comes to the United States with us." Sleeping in the room will definitely be uncomfortable..."

Ye Chui turned to look at Han Yuyan with a strange face: "Then you mean we really want to sleep in the same room?"

Sister Han nodded shyly: "There is no other way..."

"Why do I feel that the atmosphere is so strange..." Ye Chui muttered in a low voice, remembering that he and Han Yuyan were separated by a wall when he was serving Xiao Yu's home-cooked food, and they were very familiar with each other, sleeping in the same room It's not that they want to sleep together, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Thinking of this, Ye Chui nodded: "Okay..." (~^~)
