"Who is this old man? He dares to pick on a little white ape in public, doesn't he?"

Old man Hong came forward, and the old men were nothing more than that. The Chinese people present immediately started talking. Even the individual guests who were sitting on the first floor to eat stood up and looked upstairs to see where this was. The diners are so awesome.

Who is the little white ape? Anyone who has eaten here several times knows that you can let the guests criticize you at will? If the old man can't tell you something today, he will be killed by the Tiangang Tower. Can't you just kick him out? Other chefs may not do this, but Little White Ape will definitely do it. This guy is so angry...

There are eight major cuisines in China, which are divided into Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and Hunan. Originally, Shandong cuisine was the leader and led the world's cuisine. However, in modern times, Shandong cuisine was too self-contained and was gradually overtaken by Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine. , among which Cantonese cuisine is unique in the world for its diversity. The three top chefs in Cantonese cuisine, the 'Snake King', 'Elvis King' and the 'Monkey King', known as the Three Sacred Beasts, are in charge of the world, and this 'Little White Ape' 'He is the proud disciple of the 'Monkey King' Hou Junjian. It is said that Master Hou valued this disciple very much and intended to pass on the mantle to him.

Hou Junjian's inheritance is incredible! Since the rise of animal protection in China, the whole monkey banquet in Cantonese cuisine has been incredible. This 'Monkey King' has used great perseverance and great wisdom to learn from the best of hundreds of schools of thought, and his professional level is extremely high. It is said that once he made a snake soup for the "snake king" She Baiwei to taste. After taking one bite, She Baiwei suddenly changed his color and said, "There is no snake feast after the monkey king"; the cat meat he made, That also made 'Elvis' stay away.

So these regular customers who often eat Cantonese cuisine all know that the three holy beasts of Cantonese cuisine are now the Monkey King Qitian! Moreover, both the master and the apprentice are as hot as fire. In other families, the guests pick the cooks, but in their case, the cooks pick the guests. Do you still want to come? Come on, eat it if you like! Now this old man dares to touch the monkey’s butt, isn’t he afraid of being caught?

Sure enough, before Old Man Hong finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a chef's hat, thin figure, sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and bright eyes walked out, looked down at Old Man Hong and said, "Isn't this old gentleman? Is this the winner of yesterday’s unicorn fish? Let me thank you first for your support, old gentleman. Just now you asked me what kind of snake I want to use. It seems that you are a foodie?"

Yuan Xuan said very politely, but as a chef, he greeted the guests condescendingly without walking in front of the guests. This already showed his arrogance, and if it hadn't been for Mr. Hong who spent 8,000 francs to take photos of his life yesterday. Kan Qilinyu, I guess I don’t even have these kind words, and I don’t even bother to pay attention to them.

Zhou Yi shook his head secretly. He had also heard what the diners were talking about just now. He knew that this 'little white ape' had a very high status in the Chinese food world, but no matter how high your status is, you shouldn't treat your guests like this?

"Haha. What's the matter? Master Yuan is not satisfied? Yes, I have no other hobbies. I just love eating. Master Yuan, you are the descendant of Master Hou, are you an expert? Let me ask you. France Is there any difference between snakes and Chinese snakes? Are there any differences between snakes in northern China and snakes in southern China?"

Old Man Hong chuckled.

"I would like to hear what the old gentleman has to say." Yuan Xing smiled faintly and didn't even answer the question.

"Well, you are a measurer? Okay, I will tell you. Who is Master Yuan? Listen! Youdao is a place where water and soil nourish a person, and the same goes for snakes and insects. France is located in the west of the Mediterranean. It is greatly affected by the marine climate. The hibernation period of snakes and insects is shorter, or even they do not hibernate. The difference is huge...Old man Hong obviously wanted to show off. He shook his head proudly and glanced at Zhou Yi before saying: "This is Because before hibernation, snakes need to accumulate nutrients, just like a piece of Ganoderma lucidum. At this time, digging it out of the soil and making it into snake soup can play a nourishing role in winter, nourishing yin and aphrodisiac; But this French snake does not hibernate. If you come out of the fort, it is just a bowl of ordinary meat soup. What nourishing effect can it have? This is eating snakes in winter. French snakes are not as good as Chinese snakes, and snakes from southern China are not as good. The principle of the northern snake! Master Yuan, am I asking the right question?"

"Okay, this old gentleman asked a good question, but isn't that the truth?"

"Yes, this should be the same as eating bear paws. The bear paws before hibernation are extremely expensive, and the bear paws that have passed the winter are just a scam... But this time, I don't know what happened to the little white ape. Answer? If you don’t answer well, even his master Hou Junjian will lose his face.

The people sitting on the second floor were all real gourmets. Even those old men were all familiar with China. After hearing what Old Man Hong said, they immediately cheered.

"Little Zhouzi, how are you? My old man is right. It won't be a loss if you treat me to dinner. How knowledgeable are you?"

Old man Hong is so good at showing off his skills to Zhou Yi.

"Haha, this old gentleman is really an expert, so let me tell you that the snakes I have here are winter snakes captured from the Changbai Mountains in China. They are kept in special earth boxes separated by ice and airlifted all the way to France. This snake should not have any question?"

Yuan Xing looked around at everyone: "In fact, we need to use serious hibernating snakes. Don't they exist in Europe? But since I, Yuan Xing, have been a teacher, I have been very particular about not cooking anything I am not familiar with. Even ordinary dishes, I will try my best to fly the ingredients from China. I can use this winter snake from Changbai Mountain easily. Even if the cost is higher, it doesn’t matter. In order to satisfy everyone, I am not afraid of trouble... The first half of his words are explanations, and the second half are just to show off. Zhou Yi thought after hearing this Laughing, I said to myself that Lao Wang is selling melons and boasting about himself. I didn’t expect that you, the little white ape, also learned this skill. I just don’t know if your skill was also passed down to you by the ‘Monkey King’?

"Old sir, I don't know my answer. Are you satisfied with it?"

"It sounds okay, but I don't know if the facts are really what you said..." Old Man Hong said with a smile: "Anyway, your snake soup is going to be auctioned, so I may not be able to taste it. If it’s not you, then you can say whatever you want?”

When Zhou Yi heard that the old man was wrong, wasn't this funny? They had already explained it, but you still continued to make fun of him. Are you here to eat or to cause trouble?

"Oh? It seems that the old gentleman doesn't really want to eat, but wants to destroy my place."

Yuan Xing sneered, and finally couldn't help but walked downstairs, arrived at Zhou Yi's table and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, someone is going to find trouble today. Even if Yuan can bear it, I, the Monkey King, can't stand it. I don’t want to give up. So today’s auction is cancelled. Yuan worked hard today, and everyone present on the second floor today will have a bowl of snake soup for everyone, and it will be sold at a fair price! Yuan is not doing anything else. He just wants you to be a witness. Tell me whether this snake soup tastes good or not!"

"Okay, okay... all the diners were happy when they heard this. They thought that the old man was making trouble, so he immediately practiced communism. It can be seen that revolution must be carried out at the critical moment!

"Drink, you are not stupid. Isn't this just bribing everyone to speak for you?"

When Old Man Hong opened his mouth, Zhou Yi couldn't bear to listen. He said that even the most fiery-tempered person should soften his temper when he reaches his age. But this man is just a very aggressive husband.

Chicken. You can let him pick out the trouble no matter what.

But the commotion has already started, and it's hard for Zhou Yi to leave. After all, he came with the old man. If he leaves now, he will be laughed at. Although he doesn't like to make trouble in the limelight, he still has dignity.

They are all raised by their father and mother, so who wants to have someone point at their backbone and talk behind their back?

"You can rest assured that in order to show fairness, the two of you will be exempted from the contribution!"

Yuan Xing sneered: "And if you two don't nod and praise me after eating my soup, then I, Yuan Xing, will lose. From now on, there will be no Tiangang Tower in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. I will pack up and go back to China to apologize to my master."

go!"

"Hey, Chef Yuan doesn't need to be so angry?"

Zhou Yi frowned, he was just treating the old man to a casual meal, who would have thought that he would be a troublemaker. Although Yuan Xing also had some problems, it was not easy for him to leave his hometown and create such a business in France, so why bother for such a trivial matter?

What if it interrupts other people's livelihood? So I just want to be a peacemaker.

"No, my little white ape has this temper, so you don't have to sing along. I haven't finished speaking yet."

I don't want Yuan Xuan to be unappreciative, but it's okay if Zhou Yi doesn't persuade him. The more he persuades him, the more enthusiastic he becomes.

"Okay, just think I'm saying too much? You said, please... Zhouyi listen, I'm a popular singer? This is not the Kyoto Grand Theater, my brother is also a role after all, yes

Do I need to come to your place to sing? No wonder I am called "Little White Ape". He is obviously a middle-aged pretty boy, but his temper is even hotter than that of a monkey. He is quite similar to Old Man Hong... You two, if I lose, I will leave my bed.

Back to China, if I win, what will happen to the two of you?"

Yuan Xing had a hot temper to begin with, and recently

i There is another critical juncture in France, and it is the time to show off its power, so it is necessary to use the provocation of Old Man Hong to amplify the situation; he is not afraid of Old Man Hong deliberately making things difficult. There are many diners here.

Everyone said the soup was good, but Old Man Hong would only be more embarrassed if he opened his eyes and told lies.

"Haha, if you win, the two of us will kneel down and kowtow to you on the spot! Boy, are you satisfied?"

"Hey, Mr. Hong, what do you mean? You two have a bet, what's wrong with me?" When Zhou Yi heard this, he was angry. He had seen an old man disrespectful. This was the first time he saw Mr. Hong being so capable.

The one who caused trouble was dragged into the water for no apparent reason.

"Okay, then it's a deal!"

Yuan Xing turned around and left regardless of Zhou Yi's objection.

"Hey, kid, you're trying to save your friend, so don't glare..." Old Man Hong said with a smile: "I can't help it, this little white ape is too powerful, and he does have a few tricks.

I'm afraid I won't be able to find fault with him for a while, Youdao is better than Zhuge Liang, so wouldn't I be more confident with you helping me?"

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes when he heard this. He secretly swore in his heart that when this gambling match was over, he would hide as far away as possible. This man was obviously a martial arts master, but he insisted on making trouble for a cook. He must have something wrong with his head.

The little white ape was probably hooked, but after more than an hour, rows of waiters came to the second floor carrying red lacquered wooden trays, delivering bowls of steaming snake soup to the diners; each of these diners

They were both sophisticated gourmets, and they knew it was good food as soon as they smelled it. They didn’t care about the snake soup burning their mouths, so they picked up the spoons and started to taste the delicious food. Suddenly there was a sound of "xixixixixi" drinking the soup, which attracted Old Man Hong.

Er swallowed hard and called the waiters repeatedly: "Hey, here, here are two bowls... The waiters ignored him, just treating him and Zhou Yi as nothing, watching other people's tables

There was something for everyone, but there was nothing in front of him and Zhou Yi.

"Okay, it tastes so good! This soup is definitely the best in the world!"

"Isn't it just the best in the world? This soup should only be found in heaven. How many times can I taste it on earth... It's so beautiful that I really want to have another bowl!"

"Okay, it's really nourishing and aphrodisiac! Why do I think any woman looks like Xi Tzu at this moment? It's over, it's over. It's hard for the old man not to kowtow. He's quite old, so pitiful... You two, yours

The soup is here, please taste it."

Seeing that all the diners on the second floor had drunk the soup and praised each other, the little white ape Yuan Xuan slowly walked over with a mahogany plate and placed the two bowls of soup in front of Zhou Yi and Old Man Hong: "You two.

Don't you be surprised? I opened a small stove specially for you. Everyone else's soup is cooked in a big pot, but I made yours in a small pot. So it came a little slower."

"Hehe, don't worry, kid, if the food is good, it's good. I will never speak unconscionably when it comes to food. What are you doing? Do you think I'm a shameless green-skinned gangster?"

Old Man Hong smiled coldly. Yuan Xing was just letting everyone have a taste first, and after everyone praised him, it became an established fact, which made him have some scruples. Little did he know that he was full of wits and tricks in his life, and he could do anything wrong, but he never

He won't tell lies about food. Yuan Xuan looks down on others.

After speaking, Old Man Hong picked up the spoon and took a sip. As soon as the soup was in his mouth, his expression changed. Oh no, there is nothing wrong with this soup! Or maybe he didn't work hard enough on his mouth, and even if there was something wrong, he would pick it out.

If you don't come out... what should you do?" Old Man Hong glanced at Zhou Yi with a guilty look, and said to himself, boy, I know what you're capable of, I'm entirely relying on you today.

Zhou Yi did not move the spoon. Looking at Old Man Hong and Yuan Xuan, he felt a little embarrassed.

In terms of the 'Way of Food', although he has not yet touched the great road of food, he is still the strength of a contemporary god of cooking. In fact, he does not need to eat at all, he just takes a look and smells it to know how well the soup is done.

Honestly speaking, this soup is extremely well made. With this soup, Little White Ape is qualified to enter the Nanshui Palace of the Imperial City. Whether it is the color of the soup, the fragrance, or the size of the meat particles in the soup, it can be

It is said that he has achieved the first-class level that a chef can achieve. When it comes to making snake soup, Cao Lang, Kong Jie and even He Wenxiu of Xinjiapi who Zhou Yi has met are probably not his opponents. I really don’t know what the so-called three holy beasts of Cantonese cuisine are.

How does 'Snake King' compare to him?

Old man Hong obviously didn't have enough skills to find faults with this soup, but Zhou Yi could still find faults with it. He just couldn't bear it. After all, he relied on his acquired skills. I don't know how long he studied to make this soup. Is it appropriate to slap someone in the face like this because I have an idle system?

Since the basic skills were upgraded again and the main profession was opened, his mentality has become more and more calm. The purpose of setting a trap for Henry is to cure diseases and save people, but he has no grievances against Yuan Xing. He really doesn't want to ruin his hard work. This foundation was built in Paris.

"Why, the old gentleman has already finished the bowl of soup, why don't you say anything?"

Old man Hong wanted to live up to his expectations, but he really couldn't live up to his expectations. He didn't care, so he drank the whole bowl of soup. When he was done, he narrowed his old eyes and smashed his mouth, as if he still had something to say. Look.

Is there any need to evaluate this? His expression betrayed his heart. A burst of snickering suddenly sounded on the second floor, and even a few old men who looked like big bears covered their mouths and had fun.

But Yuan Xing was unyielding, knowingly asking questions and forcing people to jump over the wall: "Old sir, would you like to give me a comment? If you can't say it well, then I lose!"

"Well? You're still in high spirits. My old man... Old Man Hong wants to be arrogant, but after all, he's not a rogue. He got stuck in the middle of the sentence, but he couldn't go on.

"How are you doing, old man?" Yuan Xinghe sneered: "If you don't say yes, you won't say no either? Old sir, we Chinese men stand upright and don't let foreigners laugh at us."

"Okay, good boy, you are cruel! I will never speak out of conscience. This soup of yours is so good, I can't find any fault with it."

"Okay, then you admit defeat?"

Yuan Xing laughed loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have all heard clearly. This old gentleman has admitted defeat. If you admit defeat, you have to kowtow! Old gentleman, I can't bear it even if you kowtow to me. In this way, you Just face the east and kowtow three times to my master. He is about the same age as you, so it doesn't matter."

"Boy, are you so confused?"

Old Man Hong's face turned red. He pointed at Zhou Yi and said, "We are here together. I can't fault this soup. This little brother of mine is an expert in esophagus. He will definitely cause problems after drinking it. Xiao Zhou , you should take a few bites and give a review... The old man is really anxious. Now he calls Zhou Yi a friendly name, just like the people in the old district treat the People's Liberation Army. He no longer calls him Xiao Zhouzi, but changes his name to Zhou Yi. I went to Xiaozhou.

"This old man Hong knows a lot, doesn't he? How does he know that I am an expert in esophagus? Is it just random nonsense?"
To be continued...
