Due to his own background, Cao Cao has eaten many dishes cooked by senior chefs, and even tasted them by special chefs. Others do not have the same benefits. Senior chefs can become officials and cannot condescend to serve a certain family unless they are members of this family.

Unfortunately, the research and development of "umami flavor" is something that many chefs cannot achieve in their entire lives. Therefore, there may be many intermediate chefs in many families, but few senior chefs. After all, after deducting the development of "umami flavor", the requirements for "umami flavor" are also very high!

In theory, I should have been able to avoid reacting to the umami flavor at will... Cao Cao always thought so, but he didn't expect that this ugly appearance would still be revealed today. The heart, which was closed by a hard shell, cracked a little bit at this moment, but she didn't notice it at all.

"Have you started eating?" Wenming came over with two fish and saw that the food on the table was almost finished.

"Just keep doing it!" Wang Yong smiled, "There are still many people waiting to eat, right? By the way, why are there two?"

"Hehe..." Wenming smiled, "I also want to try the taste..."

"Okay, you're a kid!" Wang Yong laughed and was about to turn around and return to the kitchen. A six-kilogram fish to exchange for meals for one person is still very cost-effective than buying and selling. It's impossible to have more, after all, the prices of other seasonings are also not low.

"Oh, it seems that I have missed something?" Wang Yong was about to turn back to the kitchen, but a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. When he looked back, it was not Yang Cizheng who slowly walked into the store.

"Chef Yang, I didn't expect to see you here!" Cao Cao came forward to say hello. He had tasted the dishes cooked by this old man in the court before, although he only once. At that time, his position was even above Cao Cao.

"Oh, it's the daughter of Lao Cao! I haven't seen you for a long time, so don't be fine!" Yang Ci nodded. Although this person in the court used to be without a high position and power, he was an existence that could not be ignored.

"Master, why are you here?" Wang Yong stepped forward and said hello. He didn't expect Yang Ci would come suddenly.

"Haha, have you forgotten?" Yang Ci laughed, then took out a post and handed it over, "Three days later, it will be auspicious day. I'll come and tell you, the day after tomorrow, I'll teach you some basic etiquette so as not to make a fool of myself on the day of apprenticeship. Originally, my purpose here was to take this, but now this meal makes me very curious, but is there more?"

"Yes! I just need to continue doing it. Mentor, please wait!" Wang Yong immediately responded.

"Congratulations to Chef Yang for finding a Ruyi disciple." Cao Cao flattered him at the right time.

"After all my disciples are young, I'm afraid I will take care of Meng De in the future!" Yang Ci nodded, then took out an invitation and handed it over, "Three days later, it will be the old disciple-taking ceremony, and I hope Governor Cao will appreciate his face!"

"Sure, certain!" Cao Cao naturally agreed happily after receiving the invitation. Wang Yongke was not only a disciple of the old man, but also a chef under her command. His apprenticeship ceremony was naturally to be witnessed.

The two were originally colleagues, so they naturally had a lot of topics, so they sat down and started chatting. As they chatted, they naturally talked to the Han court.

"It's a pity that Your Majesty was poisoned by Dong Zhuo, and King Chenliu disappeared in five years, and his life and death are unknown. Now, he relies on Dong Zhuo as his minion to control Guanzhong and establish himself as emperor. Yuan Shao was in Hebei, but he did not want to fight against the thieves, but instead had the idea of ​​enthroning Liu Yu as emperor..." Yang Ci sighed.

"King Chenliu is the only remaining bloodline of the late emperor. Even a man is also the orthodox heir to the throne of the Han Dynasty. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been several records of men ascending the throne as emperor. If he continues and cannot find him, he is afraid that among the sidelines, the royal family with the closest bloodline will be selected to succeed him. Liu Yu from Youzhou can be said to be the first candidate." Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

The conversation between the two was not low, and Wang Yong naturally heard it. History seemed to have changed significantly here. For example, Lu Bu came to Yanzhou but did not kill Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo did kill the Shao Emperor, but Emperor Xian of Han disappeared early. The key is that Empress He was the emperor in Guanzhong. This development is a bit of a destruction of the three views!

It is said that Emperor Xian of Han would escape from Chang'an this year and be welcomed by Cao Cao to Xu County, which is later Xudu. However, since Emperor Xian of Han disappeared five years early, who can know where she went?!

"Liu Li?" The fish head sour bamboo shoots and tofu soup entered the stage of watching the fire. Wang Yong shouted and planned to deal with the fish.

Who knew that Liu Li did not respond, and couldn't help but look at Liu Li in curiosity, looking at him with a look of worry. Wang Yong simply stepped forward, patted her shoulder lightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey!" Liu Li was shocked, as if he was frightened, and then reacted, patted his chest and said, "No, nothing... I just thought of something..."

"Well, help me check the fire, I'll deal with the fish!" Wang Yong didn't think much, then turned around and continued to cook the pickled fish.

"Five years......" Liu Li came to the soup pot, looked at the rolling fish head soup, and couldn't help but mutter.

Instead of indulging in memories too much, she quickly recovered and began to help watch the fire. This time, for convenience, Wang Yong cooked two fish in one breath, then cooked soup together, and cooked sauerkraut fish together.

Once the amount is larger, the taste will become more and more difficult to control, especially the control of the heat will increase several times. Many people think that cooking two or even multiple dishes at the same time is nothing more than adding seasonings in the same proportion. In fact, when it is actually cooked, it is impossible to use the previous experience at all, and it depends on the chef's own exploration.

The key is that it is very difficult to stir the pot. Fortunately, pickled fish does not need to stir the pot, otherwise Wang Yong would never show his ugly appearance.

Finally, after cooking, the dishes were served, and then they were sent out. At the same time, they took another portion and made a set meal and placed it in front of Wenming. The latter thanked him and began to taste it.

"The owner's cooking skills seem to have improved a lot!" Wenming ate a bite of sauerkraut fish and couldn't help but exclaim, "In addition, this strong smell is spicy? I have tasted it. It turns out that the spicy taste is like this. I didn't expect it to be surprisingly good! If you go back like this, you can explain it to the head!"

"It seems that you can eat spicy food too!" Wang Yong thought Wenming would be spicy, but he didn't expect that he would eat quite happily, and he suddenly felt a little bored.

"Shopkeeper, why do you feel disappointed?" Wenming looked at Wang Yong in confusion and said to himself: What did you do wrong?

"No, please taste it slowly!" Wang Yong smiled, turned around to Yang Ci's table, and brought him another portion.

"The soup is fish head sour bamboo shoots and tofu soup, the vegetables are pickled cabbage fish, and the staple food is rice. I hope it can help my teacher's appetite. In addition, the sauerkraut fish is added with chili peppers, which tastes a bit heavy, so please pay attention to it," Wang Yong reminded.

"Hahaha, I understand!" Yang Ci nodded with a smile. When he was chatting just now, he already knew that the pepper was said to be spicy, but it was not spicy like ginger or dogwood. According to Xun Yu, it felt a bit hot or painful, which made him very curious.

What is really worth curious about is where Wang Yong found this kind of pepper, and how did he find out its usage?

You should know that in the past two hundred years, various chefs have spent a lot of time on the research of seasonings. The results are nothing more than researching various sauces, processing balsamic vinegar into aged vinegar, and developing sesame oil.

As a result, Wang Yong was fine. It is said that he made food with medicinal materials, and now he found a new seasoning called pepper. As a former special chef, Yang Ci even believed that Wang Yong's discovery may cause important changes in the seasoning industry.

The old man had a bad stomach, so he naturally could not eat sauerkraut fish directly, so Yang Ci tried to drink the soup. The soup was fragrant and the slight sour taste of the sour bamboo shoots well set off the umami flavor of the fish and the fragrance of tofu. It was both appetizing and delicious, and it was a rare soup, especially the umami flavor, which was really touching.

"Wuyou's talent is indeed too strong!" Yang Ci drank the soup enjoyably, "and his understanding of umami is no less than that of those senior chefs who have cooked for four or five years, or even seven or eight years."

No, no, no, through composite materials, the continuous impact of umami flavor is already the field of a super chef. Of course, this is just a much inferior understanding of taste, knife skills, cooking and seasoning.

"Suddenly I want to cook..." Yang Ci felt a little unsatisfied. Wang Yong couldn't do his best with such a good idea. As a super chef, he hadn't cooked for a while, and now he has begun to have itchy skills.

"If this is the case, then we will have a good time!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"No, no, no... it's important to eat!" Yang Ci shook his head and then continued to taste it. This time he started to taste the pickled fish. As the saying goes, how can you live up to the food at present?

First of all, it is naturally the chili pepper. The first time I smelled this fragrance, it was very strong. It had been cooked in the soup, but the smell was still very strong. Yang Ci smelled carefully and even felt like she wanted to sneeze, which was a bit like the pepper she had been in contact with.

Then I took a bite and suddenly felt hot and spicy. It was as if I was burned by fire, and it seemed to have a sudden pain. However, I didn't hate this feeling, but instead I had the idea of ​​continuing to try.

In modern terms, spicy taste will create a feeling of pain on the tongue. In order to balance this pain, the human body secretes endorphins, and while eliminating the pain on the tongue, it creates a feeling similar to happiness in the human body. We mistake this feeling for the spicy taste itself, so many people like spicy foods.

This argument actually has a bit of a change of concepts. After all, peppers themselves have a strong umami flavor. Especially Wang Yong remembers that there is a variety of spicy peppers with millet, which has a very strong umami flavor. If you don’t like its spicy flavor, put some pepper leaves in the soup to cook, which can also improve freshness.

"How come this fish meat is so tender?" After taking a bite of chili, Yang Ci started eating pickled fish. After taking a bite of fish meat, he exclaimed immediately.

"I used some secret recipe..." Wang Yong smiled. The tender meat powder must not be exposed.

"Interesting, so interesting!" Yang Ci suddenly felt that Wang Yong was really a disciple given to him by God. He had too many secrets waiting for him to discover, just like a treasure, or a door to a new world, constantly refreshing his understanding of cooking.

The pickled fish is delicious and appetizing. Even when he is old and cannot eat, he rarely finishes his portion. After touching his slightly bulging belly, he suddenly feels like he has become younger.

"It's delicious, thank you for the hospitality! I'll wait for you at the chef's guild the day after tomorrow, come here early!" Yang Ci smiled and stood up to say goodbye.

"Disciple understand!" Wang Yong nodded and personally took him out. He did not turn back to the store until he got on the carriage.
Chapter completed!
