Chef system

"Sir, what are you doing in the kitchen?" A chef spotted Yang Chen and asked.

Yang Chen replied: "A friend of mine sprained his ankle, so he wanted to come to the kitchen to get some medicine."

"Get medicine?" The young chef was frightened by Yang Chen's words, and it took him a while to react, and said cautiously: "Sir, if you want to get medicine, you should go to the pharmacy, not the kitchen, right? If you don't know the way, go out and turn left There is a big pharmacy within 200 meters.”

Yang Chen smiled, and said: "I know a kind of medicinal food, which has a miraculous effect on treating bruises, so if I want to come to the kitchen to cook some, it only takes about 5 minutes."

The young chef didn't dare to agree to Yang Chen, but Yang Chen came from the living room in front, he must be rich or expensive, so he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to tell the chef about it.Soon, a tall, middle-aged chef in a chef's uniform and a tall chef's hat walked over.

He glanced at Yang Chen up and down, and said softly: "Sir, I am Shi Hongguang, the head chef here. Is there any problem with you coming to our kitchen?"

His tone was neither humble nor overbearing, even because Yang Chen came to the kitchen without authorization, he was a little cold, after all, he relied on his ability to eat.Having been in the chef industry for so many years, as a national chef, I have made friends with many dignitaries.Even if the young masters of these aristocratic families were angered, they would not dare to deal with him.

Yang Chen said: "I want to borrow the kitchen and ingredients from your hotel, and make a bowl of medicinal food for my companion to heal his injuries."

"Medicine?"

Shi Hongguang looked Yang Chen up and down several times, he had heard of medicated diet.But the so-called medicated diet is something to nourish health and nourish qi. He has never heard of medicated diet to treat bruises.Even in traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment of bruises is just safflower oil made from various medicinal materials.

Instead of making a medicinal diet, it is better to go to the hospital and buy a bottle of safflower oil to use. The effect is definitely much better than the medicinal diet.

"Sir, I'm sorry, our kitchen is generally not open to outsiders. If you want to make medicinal food, please go back! But your friend suffered a bruise, I suggest you go to the hospital to buy a bottle of safflower oil better. "Shi Hongguang said quietly.

Seeing Shi Hongguang's refusal, Yang Chen was too embarrassed to stay here to interfere with the other party, after all, they still had to cook for the guests in front.

Just about to leave, a little chef suddenly shouted, "Master, this person seems to be Yang Chen."

Yang Chen?

Shi Hongguang carefully looked at Yang Chen. As a chef, he was more sensitive to matters in the catering industry. After hearing that Yang Chen's Chenguang Hotel had become a Michelin three-star restaurant, he had always wanted to try it, but because things were too busy, there was a crowd in the hotel. There are a lot of things to take care of, so there is no past.

"You are Yang Chen?" Shi Hongguang asked with some doubts.

"it's me."

Shi Hongguang dubiously took out his mobile phone, checked it on the mobile phone, and compared the pictures on the Internet with Yang Chen's appearance, and finally became convinced, "It turns out that it is really Master Yang."

"I heard that Chenguang Hotel has become a Michelin three-star restaurant. I've always wanted to try it, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance. I didn't expect Master Yang to come here in person." Shi Hongguang said in a rather joyful tone.

Yang Chen hurriedly replied: "You are welcome, I heard that you once worked as a chef for the leaders, I have always admired you and wanted to taste Master Shi's cooking skills, but unfortunately Lingyun Hotel has too strict requirements, so I only had the opportunity to come here today. "

After being flattered by Yang Chen, Shi Hongguang seemed to be in a much better mood. He said with a smile: "These are all things from the past, and they are nothing. Since Master Yang wants to use the kitchen, it's no problem."

After finishing speaking, Shi Hongguang asked a small chef to bring a chef's uniform for Yang Chen to change into, and asked curiously: "Master Yang, you are going to make medicinal meals this time. But as far as I know, most medicinal meals are only nourishing. Medicinal diet to treat bruises, why not just buy a bottle of safflower oil?"

Yang Chen smiled and explained, "Master Shi, my medicinal diet is different from ordinary medicinal cuisine. You can call it medicinal cuisine, but I think the medicinal cuisine I make should be on the premise of retaining it as food, so that it has The function of the medicine. To put it simply, the medicated diet I made is a kind of food, but it has a therapeutic effect."

"Is there this kind of medicinal food?" Shi Hongguang said in surprise, "I, Lao Shi, have been living outside for so many years, and I have never heard of medicinal food that can be used as real medicine. Master Yang must show me today."

"Of course."

Yang Chen said with a smile: "Because the knowledge of the most simple information is medicine for bruises, so there is no need for special medicinal materials, and it is enough to use some common ingredients with medicinal properties."

As a five-star hotel, Lingyun Hotel has almost all the commonly used ingredients in stock. Yang Chen explained to Shi Hongguang while selecting ingredients, "Black rice has the effect of relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation. Carrots can invigorate the spleen and detoxify, and are good for the blood cycle……"

Yang Chen selected four or five kinds of ingredients, most of which have the function of relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation.

Shi Hongguang asked strangely: "Master Yang, I know a little about the medicinal properties of these foods. Although your foods have some effects, are there some problems when they are used as quick-acting medicines?"

Yang Chen ground these ingredients into powder according to a certain proportion, and then poured out a pot of boiling water, "Master Shi, the effects of these foods are indeed very weak, but they have their own influence on each other. If the advantages of various ingredients can be brought out , learning from each other’s strengths, the effect obtained is not as simple as one plus one.”

"Is it so magical?" Shi Hongguang was full of doubts, staring at Yang Chen's movements, for fear of missing a step.

But he looked around, but couldn't find any key points.After the water boiled, put the carrots first, then the black rice... Except for the order, he hardly got any useful information.

"Could it be the amount of ingredients used?"

Shi Hongguang secretly thought.But when Yang Chen put the ingredients, he just grabbed them casually, looking extremely casual.He can't do it. Yang Chen can accurately control the weight of it.

Although he is only a chef, he also knows the truth that there is a difference between a small difference and a thousand miles.Making medicated diet is different from cooking. If there is more or less in the latter, the taste will deviate at most, so there is no big problem; but if you make medicated diet, a little bit or a little bit more will have a great impact on the properties of the medicine. Sometimes a good medicine can even turn into a poison.

"Is it reliable or not?" Shi Hongguang couldn't help being suspicious.

However, Yang Chen didn't have time to pay attention to Shi Hongguang's thoughts. He focused his attention on the medicinal food. He kept adjusting the heat according to the state of the pot. First, it was a high fire, then a low fire. When it was almost ready, it changed to became a raging fire.

After the medicinal food was cooked, I opened the lid of the pot and saw that the medicinal food was clearly divided into upper and lower layers. The lower layer was some dark things, which should be the residue of the ingredients; the upper layer was a layer of dark red soup.

Looking at the strange meal in the pot, Shi Hongguang was amazed, "Master Yang, how did you cook it like this? It's really strange that the upper layer and the lower layer are completely separated."

Yang Chen carefully poured the dark red liquid from the upper layer into a small bowl, and at the same time explained in his mouth: "Master Shi, this is actually not a big secret, it's just the control of the heat. The real reason for this situation is that I The materials selected are special. After all, you have been a chef for so many years, and you probably haven’t heard of anyone who cooks black rice and carrots together?”

Seeing that Yang Chen was not hiding anything, Shi Hongguang's attitude towards Yang Chen became more and more relaxed, he laughed and said, "Even if ordinary chefs are proficient in controlling the heat, I don't think there is a way to make this medicinal meal like this."

Yang Chen chuckled, and said: "This medicinal meal should be used while it's hot, and its effectiveness will decrease a lot when it's cold. Master Shi, keep busy, I'll go there first."

"Wait, I'll go there with you." Shi Hongguang was extremely interested in Yang Chen's bowl of medicinal food, entrusted the matter at hand to another senior chef, and followed Yang Chen out of the kitchen.

Yang Chen and the two walked through the living room with the medicinal food, and soon found the corner where Xu Shuangyue was, and the two walked forward.Yang Chen asked: "Miss Xu, how do you feel now?"

"It's okay!" Xu Shuangyue said softly.

Yang Chen shook his head, thinking that Xu Shuangyue might be trying to be brave, her ankle is swollen like this, it must be excruciatingly painful.

"It's quite strong."

Yang Chen secretly admired it, brought the medicinal bowl in front of Xu Shuangyue, and said, "This is the medicinal diet I cooked just now, try it, the effect should be quite good."

Holding the medicine bowl, Xu Shuangyue looked at the steaming liquid medicine and asked, "How to use it? Do you drink it directly or apply it on the wound?"

"It's all right." Yang Chen thought for a while, and said: "But yours is swelling and blood stasis, and the effect should be better if you apply it to the wound. If you cooperate with special massage techniques, the liquid will penetrate the skin faster and the effect will be better." It will be better, about five or six minutes after painting, you can walk on the ground."

Xu Shuangyue nodded, holding the medicine bowl in one hand, and dipped the other hand into the liquid medicine. As soon as it touched the hot liquid medicine, she exclaimed suddenly and stretched out her hand.

"It's hot!"

Xu Shuangyue put the medicinal soup on the table, raised her head and asked, "Yang Chen, can this medicine be used when it's so hot? Do you want to wait for the temperature to come down before using it?"

Yang Chen shook his head, "This kind of medicinal soup works best when it's just out of the pot, and it won't have any effect at all when it's cooled down. Why don't you just go outside and buy a bottle of safflower oil to rub it on."

Xu Shuangyue hesitated for a while, then said, "Then you should use safflower oil!"

"Okay!" Yang Chen shook his head, he couldn't deny Xu Shuangyue's decision, "If not, I'll find you a towel..."

"There's no need to be so troublesome." Shi Hongguang said suddenly from the side, "Master Yang is a chef, and he often smokes and smokes, and he is already immune to this temperature. If you don't mind, let Master Yang help You can apply it. And since Master Yang said it, he will definitely use that special massage technique. Your sprained ankle is a bit severe. From my point of view, even if you apply safflower oil, it will take half a month to fully heal. "

Hearing what Shi Hongguang said, Xu Shuangyue showed obvious hesitation on her face, and finally said: "Yang Chen, then wipe it off for me!"

Yang Chen looked at Shi Hongguang, and saw that the latter was smiling at him triumphantly, and kept winking at Xu Shuangyue, as if telling him to act quickly.

"This guy is just looking for trouble for me."

Yang Chen doesn't understand, Shi Hongguang is creating opportunities for him, but he already has Shen Mengting, if he provokes Xu Shuangyue again, she will know about it.With Shen Mengting's temper, he really doubted that she would do some stupid things.

But Xu Shuangyue had already spoken, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and let Xu Shuangyue put her calf on the coffee table.When moving her calf, Xu Shuangyue frowned, with a painful expression on her face.

Only now did Yang Chen have the opportunity to observe Xu Shuangyue's injury, it was more serious than he had feared, her ankle was swollen and frightening, it turned blue and red, almost as thick as her calf, it looked shockingly rough.

Yang Chen didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly dipped a little medicinal soup with his hand, and massaged Xu Shuangyue's ankle.

"it hurts!"

When Xu Shuangyue's wound was touched, she let out a low cry, and instinctively pulled her leg back.

Yang Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to pinch her calf, and said in a deep voice: "Don't move around, there will be a little pain at first, it will be fine after a while."

The calf was pinched by Yang Chen, and Xu Shuangyue couldn't move it even if she wanted to. After the pain relieved, she slowly said: "I see. Yang Chen, can you stop pinching my leg?"

"Oh..." Yang Chen blushed, and quickly let go of Xu Shuangyue's calf.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his mind, and concentrated on helping Xu Shuangyue deal with his injuries.

When Tan Fuyi walked over with safflower oil, he saw this scene.

Xu Shuangyue was lying on the sofa with her face flushed, Yang Chen squatted beside her and rubbed his ankle, and there was a middle-aged chef standing beside her, watching intently.
