Food starts from cooking

Chapter 118 The same material, different flavors (please subscribe!)

Although after professional training, you can have one or two falsettos, but in fact, everyone's timbre is basically certain, especially after the voice change period, if it is a rough voice, that kind of loud song, basically If you can't sing it, even if you sing it forcibly, the taste has actually changed.

Hua Yi's voice is highly recognizable, and the most important thing is that his voice is very natural, that is, the voice of singing and speaking is actually the same.

There is a saying that silk is not as good as bamboo, and bamboo is not as good as meat!

What is really unforgettable is this kind of singer who speaks like singing, or sings like talking. Hua Yi happens to be this kind of person.

"Sorrow"

When you walk into this happy place
Carry all your dreams and thoughts

different face makeup

No one remembers what you looked like
……

A glass of toast to the sun, a glass of toast to the moonlight
……

A cup to the hometown, a cup to the distance
……

A toast to tomorrow, a toast to the past
……

A toast to freedom, a toast to death
……

After dawn, the grand master left the field in a hurry
Sober people are the most absurd
……

Tong Yang was born in singing folk songs. The tunes of folk songs are actually quite special. Sometimes you already know what to do next as soon as the melody comes out, so how the lyrics are deeply rooted in people's hearts is very important.

He himself has a lot of attainments in words, especially his perception of life and cognition of life. These thoughts will be reflected in his own lyrics.

Later on, the three songs that Zhou You gave him, in terms of simple songs, Tong Yang felt that they were top-grade. With his ability, it is possible to release two or three songs a year.

But the lyrics of those songs are not simple!
From "Blue Lotus" to "Free as the Wind", although the words of modern poetry are straightforward, they go deep into the soul, especially when you listen quietly, you will find that every line of the lyrics seems to be writing about your own life, Your own state, combined with the step-by-step tone, makes people's emotions explode at a certain point!

but……

At that time, I just admired him, thinking that Zhou You was the same kind of person as myself.

Today, the song "Drift" shocked everyone, but this time he was surprised not because of the lyrics, but because of the music. Although it is not a high-quality song, it is definitely a top-quality song.

More importantly, he wrote this piece of music in less than 3 minutes, which is even more shocking.

but……

He never expected that the shock was not over yet.

"Sorrow"!
When the tune came out, Tong Yang felt very familiar, because this is another folk song structure, and the overall style looks old, not eye-catching, and the structure looks relatively simple.

but……

When the lyrics of this song came out, Tong Yang's eyes lit up instantly.

Borrowing eight glasses of wine, I expressed my outlook on life and values!

Rising sun, moonlight, hometown, distant place, tomorrow, past, freedom, death!

These words are very common in folk lyrics, but...

Nowadays, most folk songs with general themes escape from life and run outside, but the content of this song is all in the city, and the place is named at the beginning!

And it echoes back and forth, from the psychedelic life of walking into the joy field, to the loneliness after waking up!
It seems that the whole song gives people a feeling of depression, especially the words of freedom and death, it seems that people would rather die for freedom at a glance.

But it’s not, because the theme of these eight glasses of wine is not to whom to respect, but self-awareness after each glass of wine!

For example, a cup to the hometown, a cup to the distant place!

The words "hometown" and "distance" are quite heavy for many people!

but……

It depends on which angle you look at it from!
If you look at it from the perspective of a child, he may not have a deep understanding of the word hometown, because he has been in his hometown since he was born, but the unknown distance is full of temptations for him!
And the singer of the song is obviously already far away, and that hometown is his childhood, the roasted corn and stewed sweet potatoes in his memory, the bird's nest when he was a child, the cicada on the tree, the softest and kindest place in his heart everything of!
And in the distance, it is the experience that grows with age, the scolding of his boss, the responsibility on his shoulders, the last train to chase after get off work, and the hurdle that urges him to grow rapidly!

So behind a toast to my hometown and a toast to the distance, is to guard my kindness and urge me to grow up!
This is the cognition of hometown and distant place!
The follow-up toast to freedom and to death seems decadent, but the real theme is to forgive my ordinaryness and dispel confusion!

"Give you!"

Hua Yi understood it, so his hands trembled with excitement. This song...is a bit old, but this time...he took a deep breath, afraid that he would never be able to write it in his life!

and……

As Zhou You said, this song seems to really suit him, as if it was tailor-made!
"How about... let me try? Soon!"

He was afraid that if Zhou You left, it would be difficult to get on-site guidance.

Zhou You looked at the time: "Okay!"

Several other people also wanted to listen to this song, but luckily there were so many of them.

Guitar, keyboard, drums...

One by one, everyone began to scrape out the scores, while Hua Yi also practiced singing on the sidelines.

Recording will begin shortly.

Whether a song is good or not depends mainly on the ear and feeling, so just reading the score and lyrics and humming by yourself, in fact, the feeling is not very deep.

but……

When Hua Yi opened his mouth, surprise flashed across everyone's eyes.

With the melody, everyone began to enter the state!
at last……

it's over!
The recording studio was quiet, and I don't know who suddenly started clapping, and then other people applauded, and they didn't follow suit, because everyone who applauded had incredible expressions on their faces.

"It's a match made in heaven. I feel sure about this song. I'm afraid it's going to be a hit!"

After all, Tong Yang is a senior, and he also likes this song very much, but he knows that if he sang what he sang, the effect may not be as good as Hua Yi, but the song touched him quite deeply, especially Hua Yi's voice, matched with the The outstanding lyrics immediately pulled people into his inner world.

……

Coming out of the recording studio, several students of Mr. Xu were still chattering and discussing. It could be seen that they were very excited and happy. After all, they got a group photo autograph, especially when they heard the singing live!
Of course, it wasn't just the students who were happy and excited. Hua Yi was the one who was most excited. If it wasn't for the importance, he would even drag Zhou You to sign the contract.

He has already thought about how this song will be released, and even started to imagine the reaction of everyone at the scene.

only……

After all, there are still grievances, such as Lilac!
When she heard "Drift", she knew that her worries at the beginning were unnecessary. If she wanted to transform, the breakthrough might be in Zhou You.

Until the appearance of "Sorrow", she was 100% sure that only Zhou You could help her.

At the same time, I also feel a little regretful, why do I think so much, just ask no!

It's a pity that when she opened her mouth, Zhou You came out on the grounds that she was hungry.

I don't know if I miss this opportunity, when will I get Zhou You's new song!

"How about I treat everyone to dinner!"

Hua Yi called his assistant and asked Zhou You.

But as soon as he said this, Ding Xiang immediately said: "No, no, Zhou You said, I want to cook for everyone myself!"

"Huh?" Hua Yi was stunned, cooking for himself?Although it is true that I am sincere in cooking myself, but...

Teacher Xu also felt that it’s better to forget about cooking by himself. It was just talking before, so he said: "Yeah, why don't we go out to eat!"

As soon as she said that, Tong Yang immediately said: "No!"

"Since Zhou You said that he wants to cook by himself, then cook by himself!"

Nonsense, he hasn't eaten Zhou You's cooking for a long time, it's a complete surprise to meet him this time, if he doesn't eat a meal, isn't it in vain?
Teacher Xu and a few students looked puzzled. Although they didn't know why Ding Xiang and Tong Yang said that, they didn't have much right to speak.

And Hua Yijian Dingxiang and Tong Yang have said so, so they can only give up!

"But... this school, where to do it!"

"Do you want to go to my house?"

"No need!" Zhou You waved his hand and looked at the time. Lunch has already passed, and there must be no one in the cafeteria: "Go to the cafeteria and borrow a stall!"

"Okay, I'll call!"

Teacher Xu made a phone call while talking. After all, she is a school employee, and it is not trivial to make an excuse.

There are many students coming and going on campus, and they probably noticed Zhou You's group, but Tong Yang, Dingxiang, and Hua Yi were all well-packed, with hats, masks, and glasses.

In addition, they are singers after all, so they don't appear often, and they won't be recognized.

Of course, there is another reason, Zhou You's face is too eye-catching.

"Tsk tsk, if you were in our school, the school girl wouldn't have escaped!"

Along the way, many girls who passed by pointed and whispered to Zhou You, and Teacher Xu couldn't help sighing.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, there were people eating and drinking in twos and threes. There was a whiteboard in the lobby, and the MV of "Travel" happened to be playing!

The students who were eating were still nodding their heads to the rhythm of the song.

Teacher Xu borrowed a window and Zhou You went in to have a look. They had already started preparing the dishes for the afternoon.

They also make box lunches, such as braised chicken nuggets, braised chicken legs, spicy tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, etc. There are quite a lot of ingredients.

"Well, it just so happens that I don't have to go grocery shopping!"

The master at the stall was also surprised to see a handsome young man who had already started to put on an apron, and the aunts simply leaned against the cupboard, looking around with great interest.

Still chatting from time to time!

"Tsk tsk, this guy is so handsome!"

"Yes, yes, it is a good match with my daughter!"

"Worthy? Pooh, your daughter's weight is almost one hundred and eighty, so don't harm this handsome guy. My niece happens to be studying at school and is a sophomore this year!"

As she spoke, the aunt had secretly photographed Zhou You's profile and sent it to her niece.

……

"You... seem to be looking forward to it?"

Teacher Xu is not stupid, and she noticed that after everyone arrived at the cafeteria, Ding Xiang became a little anxious and looked at the stalls from time to time.

She thought it was Ding Xiang who wanted to invite the song, but after thinking about it, it shouldn't be, after all, they all know each other, and there is no rush to invite the song.

Just like today's "Sorrow", in her opinion, Zhou You should have written it a long time ago!
Of course, other people think so too.

Ding Xiang returned to her senses, smiled slightly, played with her chopsticks, and said, "Let's put it this way, Master Zhang's stall in Building A of Lin'an Conservatory of Music is always full!"

Teacher Xu nodded.

Every school has delicious stalls and bad ones!

The dishes at Chef Zhang’s stall in Building A are recognized as delicious. Every time after class, if you come later, you won’t be able to eat them at all!

but……

What does Lilac mean by that!
Ding Xiang smiled and continued: "The dishes cooked by Zhou You are a hundred times more delicious than the dishes at Master Zhang's stall!"

Teacher Xu:……

A hundred times?
What does that taste like?
It's too exaggerated!
But it seems that Tong Yang also knows?
No wonder when Hua Yi mentioned the treat, the two reacted so strongly that Teacher Xu suddenly looked forward to it.

……

"Oh my god, this knife skill is amazing!"

"Yes, yes, how could it be so fast!"

"Yes, men can't be so fast!"

Because it’s just after lunch time, and there are still several hours before lunch, so everyone is not in a hurry, do it for a while and take a break, especially when a handsome guy comes in suddenly, even if it’s an aunt, she likes to see handsome guys!
then……

They saw Zhou You pick up the kitchen knife.

Aunt Wang even stepped forward to sniff it: "Would you like me to help!"

After all, there are fewer young people who know how to cook. Everyone eats takeaway, and cutting vegetables is a technical job.

"No, thank you!" Zhou You turned his head and smiled at the aunt!
then……

They saw the kitchen knife in Zhou You's hand, as if it was alive, cutting, chopping, peeling... smooth flow!
"It's amazing, I haven't seen anyone who can use a kitchen knife so proficiently!"

"How old is he!"

"Is it a professional chef?"

All the aunts gathered around.

At this time, Zhou You had already started cooking.

They are all simple lunch dishes, shredded pork with green peppers, spicy tofu, stir-fried green beans, Mushu pork...

As the fragrance spread out, the bellies of the aunts who smelled it first started to growl.

"It's so fragrant, I think Lao Hu's fried dishes are delicious!"

"Yeah, yeah, look at this method, look at this material, it's too skillful!"

"The color looks good too, especially the green pepper shredded pork, which feels brighter than Lao Hu's stir-fried green pepper shredded pork!"

All the ingredients were prepared by the stall itself, and Zhou You simply cut it up and marinated it.

But different chefs, the same dish, the appearance and taste of frying are naturally different.

These aunts themselves worked in the university cafeteria, and were familiar with the appearance and taste of each dish, but now they suddenly smelled the smell of Zhou You's fried dishes, and they suddenly felt more delicious than before.

Pots of dishes are out of the pot. After all, there are only a few people to eat. In fact, the amount is too much, but this is a university cafeteria, and the pots and ingredients are relatively sufficient. Zhou You's pot can satisfy at least a dozen or 20 people.

"Is it alright, is it alright!"

Ding Xiang couldn't wait a long time ago, she had been running back and forth several times before, but now that she smelled the fragrance, she went directly to the back kitchen.

"Okay, let's make dinner first!"

"okay!"

Ding Xiang went out in a hurry, greeted Tong Yang and the others, then quickly took the dinner plate, made some rice, and went straight to Zhou You's window.

Behind the buttocks, Tong Yang followed closely. Although Teacher Hua Yi Xu and others were very puzzled, they also practiced full of rice.

then……

"Do you smell it? It smells so good!"

"Yeah, yeah, I smell it too!"

"I looked through the window just now, Mr. Zhou's cooking is so handsome!"

Several female students were also holding dinner plates and discussing excitedly.

"This, this, and this!"

Ding Xiang pointed out several dishes, and then asked Zhou You to order more. After a while, several people returned to the dining table with their plates.

The color and aroma are good, and it is indeed better than that of Master Hu at this stall. I really didn't expect Zhou You to have such a skill.

Just waiting for her to taste it, Ding Xiang and Tong Yang have already buried their heads in cooking.

"This……"

"Well, it's so delicious!"

"Yes, yes, this green pepper shredded pork, the shredded pork is really tender!"

"There are also stir-fried green beans. The stir-fried green beans in our canteen always have a strange smell, as if they are not cooked, but this stir-fried green beans taste crunchy, but they don't taste raw!"

At this time, the three female students had already started eating, and their eyes almost fell out of shock.

You know, this is Zhou You's cooking. I'm afraid there is only one chance in this life. The reason why they feel lucky is not because they know that Zhou You's cooking is delicious, but because they think that people like Zhou You are too far away from them. It was as if the fans had eaten the dishes cooked by the idol himself.

Can you not be excited?

But they never expected that the dishes cooked by Zhou You were so delicious!
"Really delicious?"

Teacher Xu was puzzled, but he also took a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth.

The tofu just out of the pan doesn't seem to be very hot, but... the heat is actually locked by the red oil.

So when the tofu was in the mouth, Mr. Xu almost spat it out, but then, the aroma of spicy and red oil began to spread in the mouth.

Ah!
good to eat!

After the spicy and red oil aroma, the umami taste also appeared, this is... dashi?
Teacher Xu's eyes lit up instantly.

She knows the difference between spicy tofu and mapo tofu, and she also knows that authentic mapo tofu can't be eaten in school cafeterias, but there must be broth. It's just that the spicy tofu in the past has almost only the taste of spicy and spicy, even red oil. The aroma is also relatively weak!

but……

Zhou You’s Spicy Tofu, after scalding, no one seems to be able to cover up the tastes of numb, spicy, fragrant, fresh, etc. The flavors are revealed one by one. Unlike the spicy tofu made by Master Hu, there are only spicy and spicy.

At first, she thought that there was no broth at all, but Zhou You sang the delicious taste of chicken soup in this spicy tofu dish, and chicken soup can't be cooked in such a short time.

So there should be chicken soup in the cafeteria. I am afraid that Master Hu is too heavy handed, so that the numbness and spicyness completely overwhelm other flavors.

Of course, the taste of this plate of spicy tofu is tender, and it is better than Master Hu's!
Material problem?

No, they just borrowed a stall, and the materials were all prepared long ago!

and so……

That is the technical problem of cooking.

The same material can produce different flavors, and even different textures.
