Gourmet food starts from the green leather train chef

Chapter 46 Are You Zhou Zhou's Chef?
The old man is very satisfied. Ever since he was found to have high blood sugar, his wife has been restricting his diet. It has been a long time since he ate and drank so happily as today.
Touching his chubby belly and slowly drinking the free cheap black tea provided by the dining car, the old man felt that his spirit had never been so good.

"Good food, good food, even the free black tea!
You guys, don't look at my old man with such eyes, do you think that I, Zhang Zhouxuan, have a little reputation in the chef world, so I should drink the top Mingqian tea?
Tea... Those new products that are the most in season and the luckiest will be pinched and made into green tea, and then their value will double, but it will empty your wallet sooner or later.

Some tea leaves are unlucky, so they are left to make black tea, maybe they are not as expensive as green tea, but they can always warm your heart and stomach when you need it most.”

There is a lot of knowledge in this passage.

Xu Ning couldn't help but smile, the old man is really funny, it looks like a comfortable meal.

Su Rou and Lu Meiqi's expressions were somewhat weird, Lu Meiqi pouted and said, "Old man, why do I feel like you have something to say?"

"Haha, my old man is just judging tea leaves"

Zhang Zhouxuan chuckled.

That is to say, when he got older, he was abruptly pushed into the position of "high moral and respected" by his juniors. When he was young, he was famous for his poisonous tongue. Whenever he was in a good or bad mood, he liked to say a few words.

A few years ago, the railway system wanted to completely eliminate the green leather trains, but he did not miss the bosses who "viciously attacked" the railway system. What is it to judge a tea now?
"Old Zhang, is that you?"

It was the first time that the dining car launched high-quality dishes with a price of up to 388 yuan. Zhang Xia, the conductor of the train, naturally had to care about it.
Hearing the rave reviews from the passengers, he was completely relieved, and was happily walking into the dining car, ready to praise Zhou Zhou, but he saw the old man at a glance.

Back then, the old man spoke out for the green leather train, and even the photos appeared on the travel media. How could Zhang Xia forget this benefactor of x164?

Hastily walked to the old man's side: "Mr. Zhang, I am Zhang Xia, the conductor of this train. It's really great that you can come to our train.
Last time you spoke out for x164, you helped me a lot, I didn't have a chance to thank you. "

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

The old man smiled and waved his hands: "My old man cooks road dishes. When I was young, I used to be a chef on a green leather train for half a year.

Today's young people probably don't even know that food stamps were not used on the green trains back then, and the food on the train was more abundant than at home!
In those days, being able to take a train for a business trip was almost like Chinese New Year.

In the 80s, the chefs of the railway system once held a vigorous "competition", and passengers could even eat famous dishes from eight major cuisines in the dining car!
It's a pity, the grand occasion is over now. A group of kids who forget their origins actually sell pre-made dishes on the train that even dogs don't eat!This also deserves to be called a dining car?

There are still a few green leather trains left in Huaxia. Even if it wasn't for the love of the past, my old man would still speak for the green leather trains.

Wait, you are the train conductor of x164?That would be great, can I meet your Zhouzhou chef after lunch time is over? "

What's wrong with this?Not to mention the relationship between the old man and x164, the identity of the old man should also be respected by Zhou Zhou, a junior.

So as soon as the lunch time was over, Zhou Zhou came to the old man under the leadership of Zhang Xia.

"Young man, you cook well. This 'Osmanthus fragrans' is very authentic!"

When the old man saw Zhou Zhou, he raised his thumb.

In fact, if you insist on picking Zhouzhou's faults, it's not without: First of all, the sweet-scented osmanthus tie itself is very delicate, and it doesn't need to be placed on a plate.

After all, the taste of coriander is not acceptable to everyone. Putting this thing out of nowhere will only reduce points.

In addition, half of the reason why the old man can't stop eating is that this dish has been lost for many years, and it is his memory; Zhouzhou does not know where to learn the authentic secret recipe, so that he can eat it again in his sixtieth year The delicacy in the memory can be regarded as fulfilling one of his wishes.

However, Zhouzhou's culinary skills have not yet reached the level of flawlessness. Although it has reached the realm of "changes of five flavors, a mellow and delicate fragrance ending", it is a pity that the aftertaste after the ending is still weak, far from the "fragrant lips and teeth". Lingering for days' still some distance.

This is actually due to the limitations of Zhou Zhou's basic attribute panel. Even if he exchanged his perception points for the secret of 'Osmanthus fragrans', his cooking skills still have shortcomings. Ordinary people may not be able to eat it, but they can't hide it from the old man.

However, the flaws do not conceal the merits. A young chef in his early twenties can restore [-]% of this famous dish that has been lost for many years, which has already surprised Zhang Zhouxuan.

Now the more he looks at Zhou Zhou, the more he loves him, and at the same time he feels aggrieved for Zhou Zhou.

How could the current chef world become like this!

There are thousands of passengers on x164, and he doesn't believe that there are no cooks among them; but none of these "comrades" are willing to speak for Zhou Zhou on the "Zhi Wei" forum after eating Zhou Zhou's dishes, but those ordinary passengers We can still feel our conscience to support this conscientious and talented young chef!
Today's hard work is really unbearable.
Thinking of the various disputes between the eight major cuisines, and the practice of slandering and tearing each other down at every turn, the old man became more and more angry, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Xu Ning and the others didn't leave after lunch. They wanted to stay and see what the old man was going to say to Zhou Zhou. Now they were taken aback by the old man, thinking about what was going on. He was giving thumbs up just now, but he changed his face in a blink of an eye?
Is there something wrong with Chef Xiao Zhou's dishes?No, the old man ate better than anyone else just now.

"I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you, Chef Xiao Zhou."

The old man also felt that something was wrong, and quickly explained with a smile: "It's because you are too good, it reminds my old man of some unsatisfactory things in the chef world."

He Wuhuo, who was sitting next to the master, suddenly felt a chill in his neck.

Compared with the super talented and amazing senior brother, I am far behind. The master always said that he accepted himself as an apprentice because he was blind. Now he saw "other people's children" and was annoyed again. Can't live up to yourself?
"Xiao Zhou, the first time my old man saw you, he fell in love with you, and you are just pleasing to the eye!
So let me ask you something that shouldn't be asked in the name of a senior: Where did you learn this 'sweet osmanthus piercing'?Who is your master?
I have also been in the chef industry for decades, so I have some qualifications. Maybe I am an old acquaintance with your master. "

Some passengers posted on the Internet that Zhou Zhou was a talented student who graduated from a chef school. The old man didn’t believe it at all. The chef’s profession is like Chinese medicine. You can’t learn it in a technical school alone. There are many dishes that must be taught by the master. , You have to follow the teacher for a long time before you can get the inheritance.

Let’s just talk about this “Osmanthus fragrans tie”, even I don’t know the secret of it, what can a chef school teach me?

Sure enough, this is the problem
Zhou Zhou glanced at Aunt Xia who was smiling, and bit the bullet to repeat the excuse he had told Aunt Xia before. (Everyone who has been with the book from the beginning, see Chapter 7 for details, and the patch will be applied later.)
"An old chef from Tibet?"

Zhang Zhouxuan frowned and thought for a while, then his expression changed slightly.

"Xiao Zhou. Didn't your master tell you his name?"

"No, maybe the master doesn't want people to know that he has accepted me as an incompetent apprentice?"

Zhou Zhou felt a burst of blush. Fortunately, he had just come out of the kitchen. Others would only think that it was due to his hard work.

"Then it's almost inseparable. That senior has such a temper."

Zhang Zhouxuan was both shocked and regretful. He originally wanted to find a chance to accept Zhou Zhou as his closed disciple, but now it seems that he can only give up this idea.

If Zhou Zhou's master is really "that one", what kind of apprentices do I have to accept? Zhou Zhou and I can be regarded as peers!
