Chapter 43 Looking for Mapo

The Zui Taoist plotted against the fierce ghost Taoist. The two of them fought for about three or four hours, and the vitality was fluctuating within dozens of miles. Then a black light escaped from the sword formation. Then a green light chased after him, and fled and chased the two of them for a thousand miles in a flash. However, Zhou Gan had already bid farewell to the villagers of Yangjia Village and rushed back to Tiandu Mansion with the ashes of Sister Zhaoer. As soon as he entered the city gate, he heard people around him discussing the strange phenomena of heaven and earth a few hours ago. He couldn't help but mutter: "Why are there always strange signs during this period? Is it really the rhythm of the immortal being born?"

When he returned to the Inn, he saw Zhang Fu using lunch. He was not polite and served a bowl of rice on his own and chewed it. Seeing this, Zhang Fu said contemptuously: "You can eat these simple rices with delicious food. If you go out in the future, you will learn craftsmanship in Jingxianglou!"

Zhou Gan Lian ate five bowls of rice before touching his mouth and said, "The food is just to fill his stomach. Whether it is delicious or not, it is much better than not eating it!"

"Then what do you learn to cook? Anyway, everything you eat is the same!" Zhang Fu retorted.

"Of course it's for enjoyment. If life is without fine wine and delicacies, wouldn't it be fun!"

"Hmph! You're right!" Zhang Fu was so rare that he didn't fight with Zhou Gan, but frowned and said, "Where have you been? Have you found the trace of Mapo?"

Zhou Gan shook his head, and Zhang Fu said again: "I just went to the neighborhood to inquire and found that the name of Mapo is widely circulated, but the dragon has always seen its head but not its tail. Unless it is a delicious dish that spreads, it will be difficult to see its traces."

"What about that?" Zhou Gan asked.

"I think that Mapo is the pioneer of Shu cuisine, so if someone challenges one by one in all Shu cuisine restaurants, and wins it, and says that Shu cuisine is just Er'er, then do you think Mapo will come forward?" Zhang Fu's eyes flashed with an excited and crazy light.

"Are you talking about challenging the entire Sichuan restaurant?" Zhou Gan was shocked. This idea was too incredible.

"What? Don't you dare?" Zhang Fu said proudly. No matter how many shortcomings Zhang Fu has in his personality, the name of the little chef god is real and is recognized by the entire cooking world.

"This method~" Zhou Gan thought about it carefully and found that although this method was fantastic, it was not without operability. As for challenging the entire Sichuan cuisine, Zhou Gan felt a rare passion in his heart.

"So what if you challenge it! Master Hei and Master Yishen fought all over the Central Plains. Can't we be as good as our predecessors?" The two looked at each other and smiled, and the original estrangement was also laughed out.

"This Sichuan is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is suitable for producing fresh fruits, vegetables, and wild game. This Sichuan cuisine is also available in two major factions: The River Gang and the Xiaohe Gang. If I want to challenge, I have to fight against these two factions..." Zhang Fu said slowly.

On the second day, the two arrived at a famous restaurant "Renheju" in Tiandu Mansion. A servant immediately introduced him. When the servant nodded and asked what dishes they wanted to eat, Zhang Fu began the first step of the restaurant!

"What are you doing?"

"Our Renheju is one of the seventeen most famous restaurants in Tiandu Mansion. Of course, there are everything you want to eat!" the servant said, ".

"I'll ask for boiled cabbage, salt-roasted white, Sichuan-style steamed pork, Qingcheng Mountain Ginkgo Fruit Stewed Chicken, garlic-silk white, hibiscus chicken slices, pot crumb meat slices, white oil tofu, roasted white, croak loach, salt-roasted meat, dry-stood eel slices, eel vermicelli, spicy and sour duck snow, steamed river glutinous rice beef, Xiba tofu, snow konjac, konjac roast duck, Jianyang lamb soup, dried roast rock carp, dried roasted mandarin fish, Ya'an Ya fish full banquet, and pickled pepper cuttlefish, Shiqu white fungus stewed local chicken, Long Zhuozhe, Zhong Shui Dumpling, Wu Zhuozhe, Lao Ma Zhuozhe, Jiang pork ribs, Han dumplings, Wenfu bean soup rice, Mom's hoof flower, Qingcheng Mountain old bacon." Zhang Fu finished reporting in one breath and said: "If there is a dish that is not done properly, and there is no authentic Sichuan vegetable field, I will sue your restaurant to the government to cure you for deceiving guests!"

The servant wiped his sweat and said, "Wait objectively, wait!"

Zhang Fu said loudly again, immediately attracting a group of diners.

"Is this kid here to play a restaurant? Why is he so arrogant? Can the chef make all the essence of these Sichuan cuisines? And it tastes authentic Sichuan cuisine?"

"Is it the other restaurants sent to make trouble? I don't think it looks like it?"

"We, the real people in Tiandu have not eaten all these dishes yet. How could this kid report so much in one breath?"

Just as everyone was talking, a fat chef led a few aggressive helpers to the two of them. The fat chef shouted, "It's you who are here to make trouble? If you don't leave any explanation, be careful, I'll tie you up and send you to the official!"

Zhou Gan interrupted at this time, "How can it be considered as my troubles? You said you can cook any dish, so what if we order seventy or eighty dishes? If we have no money to pay the bill, you will naturally have a reason to send me to the official, but if you blame the guests because you can't cook these dishes, then it's better if you don't eat in the restaurant! You don't eat it!" After that, he turned around and left with Zhang Fu.

But how could that fat chef let these two men leave? Not to mention anything else, people want shame, tree bark, but when this spread, the reputation of his own restaurant was overwhelming...

"Stop it for you two!" Chef Pang said in a rough voice: "The servant of my family praised me just now, but I made you laugh. I will only know how to cook..." As he said that, more than a dozen famous dishes from Shu were reported, "If you want to eat them, I will send someone to cook them here, what about?"

Zhou Gan shook his head and sighed deliberately: "It's not that I want to make things difficult for me, but your restaurant just now was untrustworthy and did not do anything to say. It made me and the two of us doubt whether you can make this delicious food in Shu?"

"Why not do this!" Zhang Fu said, "My brothers and two of them happen to have some kitchen methods. It's better for us to compete. If you win, I have a thousand taels of silver on you, and I will all be with you. If I lose, I don't want you. I just sigh that I have no eyes and chose the wrong restaurant. How can you think?"

"Thousand taels of silver?" The fat chef's eyes were about to glar, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Can you two be true?"

"Take it seriously!" the two nodded at the same time.

"How to compare?"

"We make a dish at the same time, and after that, let the audience see the audience taste it. The number of votes on the audience determines the outcome of your and my side. How about it?"

"Where is better than that dish?" Obviously, he was worried that Zhou Gan and the others ordered a Sichuan dish that they didn't know about.

"Just like this boiled cabbage. Didn't you say you were good at this dish just now? And this is also one of the famous dishes in Shu."

"Okay! Just compare this dish!" The fat chef was happy and thought to himself, "These two people really don't know what the taste of the dish is. I have been here for twenty years. Do you even know the taste of the nearby diners? The right time, place and people, I have more chances of winning with three or four points just!"

When he arrived at the kitchen hall, Zhang Fu quietly said to Zhou Gan: "This boiled cabbage is a clear soup dish. The focus of this dish is on the soup. I guess Renheju is also famous, so it must have a unique recipe for soup. I am not afraid of him when it comes to the soup technique. As for the choice of cabbage, I will leave it to you."

Zhou Gan also knew that 99% of the skill of boiled cabbage is lying on soup. The skill of choosing cabbage is also a rough job, but who can give you a good master? The title of Little Chef God is not in vain. In addition to teaching yourself basic skills, it is also a basic skill, such as knife skills, seasoning, stir-frying, soup, viewing dishes, and cooking skills. When will your family be as cool as Zhang Fu and say: 'You add firewood to me, leave this skill of cooking to me...'

Even if you complain, you still have to choose this dish. Zhou Gan saw Zhang Fuzheng selectively putting precious ingredients such as hens, female ducks, ham, scallops, elbows and other precious ingredients into the pot to make soup. He knew that there was still a while before he picked it up from the pile of cabbages.

‘The heart of the vegetable is tender and yellow, and the cabbage is better if it is not cooked,’ Zhou Gan muttered, and picked up three fresh and tender cabbage, holding it over and over again, staring at Zhang Fu’s soup without blinking.

Zhang Fu was staring at me and said, "Help me wash the cabbage cramps and remove the cabbage heart so that it will not hurt its tender yellow heart. Then use boiling water to stop the growth. If the cold water is rinsed, can it be done?"

Zhou Gan responded happily and started to cook quickly. As long as he cooked, no matter what kind of work it was, it was something to be happy about.

‘Are you so happy to cook this dish?’ Zhang Fu shook his head and muttered, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He hadn’t experienced this feeling for a long time.

Zhou Gan finished it after only a short while. Looking back at Zhang Fu's concentrating on the soup, he had an idea.

Zhang Fu used a spoon to stir the chicken putty in the direction and sucked out all the impurities and oil. At this moment, the soup was clear and the aroma was scented. Zhang Fu used another pot of broth that had been prepared for the drizzle. He waved his hand, but Zhou Gan did not respond.

"Why can't you do such a little thing well!" Zhang Fu said dissatisfiedly. The heat of this soup should be controlled well. If one point is increased, one point will be increased, and one point will be reduced. Isn't it a mistake to do this week!

"Caicai is here!" Zhou Gan hurriedly brought cabbage over, but Zhang Fu was stunned when he saw it.

The surface of this cabbage is actually engraved with a map of mountains, rivers and the country. As for this content, it is the beautiful rivers and mountains in Shu, Emei, Qingcheng, Minhe, Fuyun Mountain, Tiandu Prefecture, Chengdu Prefecture...

With the flowing water and the magnificent atmosphere, Zhang Fu could only flash these two words in his heart, "Your knife skills, your painting skills..."

Zhou Gan said frightenedly: "No? No?"

Zhang Fu twitched his lips and said insincerely: "It's OK, it's just too fancy!"

Zhang Fuyou found out that the soup was enough, so he took the cabbage over and pretended not to care while watering it, and asked, "How did you carve the mountains and rivers in Shu?"

"Oh, I have this picture at home," Zhou Gan sat on the ground, observing Zhang Fu's technique and said indifferently. This dynasty geography map was a time when the master and Butler Sun calculated the location of the Qin Emperor's tomb. As for this carving technique, it might not have been possible if Zhou Gan had accidentally understood the state of swordsmanship when he was fighting with the ghost child.

"What about your knife skills?"

"Learn from Master Hei!" Of course Zhou Gan couldn't tell the truth.
