Chapter 35: Chef 34

The emperor had a different feeling for Yan Langqing, and it was natural to look at her better than others. But even so, he can't ignore the conscience that Yan Langqing's dumplings are better than Lin Danbao's. The results of the game have already come out, he said that nothing will work now, but be loyal to his stomach.
Thinking about this, he lowered his chopsticks and said slowly: "Lin Dan, you won."
As soon as the voice fell, a crisp sound came from the private room, and Yan Longqing's chopsticks were lost. Everyone looked at her, but saw her eyes flushed, pale, and her hands and feet shaking slightly, as if overwhelmed. Her father Yan Shouye stared straight at Lin Dan, his face full of unwillingness and resentment.
Lin Dan bowed and saluted, and his face did not win any favors: "Then please ask the chef Yu to fulfill the bet and return the gold knife and recipe."
Yan Langqing opened her mouth difficultly, and seemed to want to speak. Yan Shou had screamed angrily: "No, it's my father's thing, it's my Yan's family, why should I give it to you?"
"Master Zu passed it to my father before his death, and that was my father's stuff. You wanted to go back from me, because of your own craftsmanship, and now I want to return it, also based on my own craftsmanship. , What's wrong? "
Yan Shouye also wanted to argue that the emperor had frowned and looked unhappy. Yan Langqing immediately clutched her father's shoulders and said dumbly, "I brought everything, and this is for you." She brought just to show her generosity, but she didn't expect to lose to Lin Dan. . But the people had already sentenced her to lose, and the emperor had acknowledged it herself. What if she was not willing anymore?
Lin Dan set the gold knife aside, opened the Yan family's recipe and looked at it, raising his brows high. This recipe was split into two parts by Yan Langqing. The lower part of Lin Baotian also returned to Lin Dan. The upper part should have only 60 pages left, but now this recipe is thicker than before It can be seen that Yan Langqing has been very angry over the years, and has developed a lot of new dishes, adding a new glory to the Yan family recipe.
However, Lin Dan's frown tightened the more he looked at him, and he finally sneered. She tore off one of the pages and handed it to a chef who came to watch the battle, saying: "This braised stag glutinous rice was prepared by Master Liu and now belongs to the original owner; this stewed Yuanyu is made by Chef Fang And I'll give you back ... "She tore off many recipes one by one and returned them to the developer one by one.
These people have a look at Yan Langqing and a look at the emperor, neither are they, nor are they.
The emperor was puzzled, but he did n’t know where Lin Dan was so noisy, but Prince Cheng sneered, "The emperor is afraid that I do n’t know. You are a master chef, and you ca n’t make good food to please you, then go to the folk. It is a great disrespect to rob someone else ’s food and say that it ’s for you, and the other person ca n’t eat it anymore. It ’s a great disrespect. If that ’s the case, the emperor will make a list of food for you to avoid. The minister made a big mistake! "
Prince Gong gave his hand in surprise: "If this is the case, why don't the ministers starve to death? The emperor eats meat, we cannot eat it, and the emperor drinks water, can we not drink it?"
Prince Cheng quickly comforted: "Relax, you ca n’t be hungry. You can go to Yan's restaurant to eat. The food that the emperor has eaten is not allowed to be sold elsewhere, but his restaurant is not wrong. Others fear the imperial power, but his family is not afraid. His family has a savvy chef! "
The two sang a match and revealed the methods used by Yan's family to crack down on their peers. They also gave them a hat of Emperor Yue, and they frightened Yan Shouye into a sifter and his face was inhuman. Yan Langqing looked at his father in disbelief and shouted sternly, "Father, what the is going on?" He immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty to the emperor: "The emperor, Caomin never said that, and Caomin was also Blind, please forgive me! "
The emperor looked down at her, always soft eyes, now extremely cold. Yan Langqing looked up and looked at him, her heart could not help but jump hard. She lived in the palace for a long time and didn't go home often. She never expected that her family would be able to do so. She just wanted to learn a few more dishes, and sincerely supported the folk cooks, she hurt them instead. No wonder the chefs invited today saw her look stiff when she saw her, as if she was furious and scornful.
But how others looked at her, she couldn't help it anymore, she only worried that the emperor would be dissatisfied with herself. Tang Shizi was tired of her as early as ten years ago, and now she has lost the golden sword, the recipe, the reputation, the popularity, and she can no longer lose the favor of the emperor. If there was no emperor, she would be nothing after today.
Yan Shouye was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word, just followed his daughter and scratched his head. When he showed his strength and suppressed his peers, he never thought he would have today.
Lin Dan dismantled all the dishes that Yan's family had grabbed, and set aside the preparations to return to the original owner.
The emperor glanced at her, then frowned, and said, "Come up, anyway, your restaurant is closed, and those things are okay before. Whoever belongs to these recipes, take it yourself, and what to do in the future. He is the emperor and the Lord of all peoples. He can eat what everyone can eat. "
In a fluttering sentence, the father and daughter of the Yan family were let go. Prince Cheng and Prince Gong showed dissatisfaction, but did not say more.
Lin Dan was still disassembling the recipes, and one of them was demolished, and the calm expression finally rippled: "If I remember correctly, this Wanfu meat is Yan Yu's famous dish, because the emperor only ate this dish. They will fancy your cooking and call you into the palace. "
Yan Langqing's expression, which had just relaxed, began to tighten again.
Lin Dan glanced at her, taunting slightly: "But who knows, the authentic Wanfu meat is not done this way, not even made of meat. Yan Yuchu, I remember you once said that you would never do it in your life My dad ’s food, but why take my dad ’s efforts to win your own future. You are a real person behind the scenes, behind a set of ...

Yan Langqing's lips had been shaking, she seemed to want to refute, but she couldn't speak. Yan Shouye shouted outrightly: "Lin Dan, don't talk nonsense! This dish is obviously developed by my family, Lang Qing, I watch it with my own eyes!"
Lin Dan closed the recipe and said, "Is it? You made it yourself, or did you listen to my dad's apprentice?" If I remember correctly, both of my dad's apprentices are now chefs at Yan's Restaurant. "
"You, you have nothing to say, and your blood is spraying!" Yan Shouye was so angry that he vomited blood, but the person Yan Langqing had a pale face and remained silent.
Lin Dan opened the door of the room and said, "Is it empty-mouthed, and wait for me to make the real Wanfu meat, then said." The words went straight to the kitchen.
The emperor took a deep look at Yan Langqing, and then he kept up with him. The rest of the people could sit still and hurried to catch up. Today's test is really ups and downs, it's too ups and downs, and wonderful! Who would have thought that the treasurer Lin, who must lose, would win under the authority of imperial power? Who would have thought of a seemingly gentle and savvy chef, there was such a deep-witted woman who could do everything.
Lin Dan was a noble guest brought by the emperor. She wanted to borrow the kitchen. The store dared to rebel. She immediately vacated the most spacious stove and prepared the ingredients for her. She picked up a piece of tofu, cut it into two-inch squares, and engraved a beautiful 4D knife on one side, and stewed it in the fragrant milk soup. About two quarters later, she took it out and put it in a wok. Add a little bit of marinade and add condiments to thicken the marinade into a shallow layer of sauce. After finishing putting the tofu in the sauce and continuing to cook, only a layer of skin is added.
Prince Cheng reminded: "You put less sauce, the tofu pieces have not been completely dipped into the sauce, which is not enough."
Lin Dan smiled lightly: "I do n’t know what Prince Wang said, and that is what the daughter wants." Two quarters later, she took out the tofu pieces one by one and put them in the dishes. Everyone looked intently, but saw that the tofu block had become a bit of sauce, nine points of milk white, and the shape was very strange.
Lin Dan put the tofu block in a hot oil pan and fried it. The side with the sauce color was fried with scorching, and a layer of meringue, but the other side did not touch the oil star, and it was still white and tender. After finishing this process, Lin Dan then put the tofu block into the bone soup and stewed it, then stuffed it into the red soup, and finally steamed in the steamer. After that, the minced fish, chicken, and pork were fried to make a thick sauce. Pour over steamed tofu cubes and sprinkle with a little and chives to taste.
The tofu cubes that have been boiled repeatedly in the broth and brine have long been soaked in the essence of various soups and become incredibly fragrant. Because the surface has been soaked in sauce, it has been fried again and looks exactly the same as pig skin. See, everyone thought it was a bowl of braised pork, not tofu.
The emperor took the lead in tasting a piece, and his eyes lit up immediately. Without him, this tofu not only looks like braised pork, it tastes like it, but it is not greasy, but full of rich, soft and mellow meat.
Lin Danxu explained, "My mother loves meat but is afraid of being fat. My father wanted to develop a dish for her how to eat and not get fat, so this Wanfu meat came into being. It absorbs meat and vegetables. The strength of the dish, but also the abandonment of the shortcomings of meat dishes, not fat or greasy, soft and mellow, the mouth melts. This dish, my dad told me, and also told his two apprentices, but never remembered Enter the Yan family recipes, and at that time did not dare to call Wanfu meat, but called 4D meat, Gein 4D knives have complicated lines, and tofu can only taste if the 4D is engraved. I ’m afraid you are from my father ’s two The apprentice got a recipe, but he still could n’t make the meat taste of tofu, so I just use pork for cooking? This is the most common vegetarian dish. In your mouth, it becomes a birthday for the emperor. Wanfu meat just developed. Yan Yuchu, it ’s an extraordinary skill to figure out what you want. If you could use it all in cooking, why would you lose to me today? "
Without full experience and painstaking research, even if you get a recipe, it is difficult for ordinary people to restore the dish, because you do n’t know how to handle the ingredients, how to control the heat, how to adjust the amount of condiments, the ingredients are not processed well, and the heat is poor. A little bit, with less seasoning, the dish is completely flavored.
Yan Langqing did, as Lin Dan said, he couldn't make the tofu meaty when he got the vegetables, so he could only make the meat directly. She didn't want to develop her own dishes, but she was kicked out by Hou Ye at that time. She wanted to break out of the world too much, too much to establish a foothold in Beijing, too much to prove herself, so she accidentally took the road.
Seeing the emperor's gaze with scrutiny and doubt, her barely straight back finally collapsed. This time she lost, she lost completely and lost her reputation!
