Master descends to earth

Chapter 142 Dragon Kiln
"This kind of thing is not worth boasting about. The way of food is profound and profound, and I still need to keep working hard!"

Kanemoto came with the food, heard Zaemon's words, and said humbly: "As long as you cook with your heart, the guests will definitely feel the chef's sincerity. I firmly believe in this!"

He personally delivered the eel rice to Su Yuan. In the black lacquer box, there was pearl rice as white as snow, and on it was grilled eel overflowing with burnt fragrance, which squeaked from time to time.

The gravy produced by the high-temperature grilling of the eel slowly seeps into the white rice, and the rice gradually absorbs the soup and turns golden yellow, which is very appetizing.

Pick up a mouthful of rice, first smell it, the aroma is overflowing, and then put it in your mouth, the rice melts in your mouth, and the rich eel juice hits the taste buds, as if the wild eel is reborn in the mouth, alive and kicking, extremely delicious!

Su Yuan didn't expect that a bowl of white rice could be so satisfying. After seeing all the prosperity in the world, he suddenly realized that plainness is the real thing!
Jin Ben looked at the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces and said with a smile: "The best is wild river eel. There is a layer of fat between the skin and meat of wild eel, so it is thick and smooth. Not only are the thorns small and easy to digest, but the meat is also firm. , very soft, but the whole fish will not loosen with chopsticks.”

"The heat is very important when grilling, and the eel skin is the most critical part. If you bake it too much, it will lose its sebum feeling, and if you don't bake it enough, it will produce a fishy smell. The best state is when the eel skin is slightly burnt and yellowed when it is baked until the oil seeps out. .”

"The rice should be thick enough to show its own luster under the eel, and the softness should be able to set off the eel, and the sweetness of the rice should be different from the sweetness of the eel. In the mouth, the rice is the first layer to absorb the essence of the eel to balance it The thickness of the eel leaves us with the fragrance of the mountains and fields, which is the top grade of eel rice."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, took out a few dishes and put them in front of everyone, and asked everyone to taste them: "All the dishes in Noda House are related to eels. The first dish is fresh and refreshing eel jelly and side dishes. Then there are eels Egg rolls are delicious and not greasy, with the aroma of eggs sandwiched with the aroma of eel, which has a unique flavor."

"Then there is Noda Iwa's signature dish, Shiraiyaki eel! Compared with Kabayaki, there is less sauce, and it is purely to bring out the original fragrance of eel. A grilled square eel in the center of the red lacquerware is like a bride to be married. Although it matches Wasabi and soy sauce are also available, but the simplest way to eat it, dipped in salt, is the most delicious.”

Picking up a piece of eel meat and grilling it without adding extra seasoning requires great confidence in the ingredients. When the chopsticks touch the slightly burnt and yellowed eel, the snow-white meat will be revealed.When you put it in your mouth, the texture is tender and glutinous, unhurried, like a crystal clear stream flowing slowly.

The meal was spent quietly, and everyone was immersed in the satisfaction brought by the most common ingredients. At the end, there was eel liver soup, which tasted slightly bitter, and just swept away the greasy food in front of it, which was endless aftertaste.

In all fairness, the level of the three great chefs in the island country is not necessarily higher than that of the top chefs in China, but what touched Su Yuan the most was his persistence for decades, the ability to turn the most common ingredients into delicious dishes is the essence of gourmet food truth.

Once again, strengthen your beliefs, be brave and diligent, and never forget your original intention. What is your original intention?

Craftsmanship!

After the trip to the island country, everyone finally returned to Longquan. Yagyu Emi immediately began to make plans, recruit troops, expand investment, and turn the Sujia Sword Shop into a chain operation as soon as possible.

Not only the island countries, but even the domestic ones have to be carried out at the same time. After challenging the Guinness book hit, everyone in the circle witnessed the birth of a myth.Can the traditional Longquan sword be able to stand out from the crowd and kill all the top saber brands in the world?

Like a shot in the arm, making all collectors proud, Su Yuan became the No.1 strongest swordsmith!
Leave the rest to the little girl to worry about, asking for money and money, recruiting talents with high salaries to join, Xu Kui and Hu Jinquan as quality supervisors, and Wang Tian as the sales director, each performing his own duties.

Su Yuan didn't care about these trifles, and he had more important challenges. Porcelain was a new field, full of opportunities and fun, and especially after he understood the true meaning of craftsmanship, he became more courageous and diligent.

"Do you want to meet the celadon master?"

After listening to Su Yuan's request, Third Master Jin was very confused and said: "I heard that you killed the little devil and helped Liu Sheng Xinyinliu regain its glory. Now is a good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot. Why..."

Su Yuan waved his hand and explained: "As the saying goes, there is no end to learning. Forging swords is no longer challenging. Naturally, I have to find some new fun."

Jin Sanye rolled his eyes, this is crazy!It would be shameless for anyone to say it, but Su Yuan...

He nodded and said: "In this case, I happen to know our Longquan kiln master, Mao Zhengcong, who is as famous as Xu Chaoxing and a national arts and crafts master."

"Every year through him, Yagyu Zaemon collects masterpieces. The island country advocates the tea ceremony, and celadon is a national treasure. A tea set of 30 million is the best gift."

After speaking, he dialed the mobile phone and made an appointment to meet in the afternoon. Although he didn't understand why Su Yuan was interested in porcelain all of a sudden, it was like a mountain across the road. In Jin Sanye's view, he was just idle and having nothing to do.

After dinner, we set off in the car. When people from other places talk about going to Longquan, they often say the word "Shang Shang".Because Longquan is located in the upper reaches of the Oujiang River, the scene of bamboo rafts traveling through the green mountains was very common 20 years ago.Bamboo wood and porcelain were tied on bamboo rafts and flown down the Oujiang River to Jinhua, Wenzhou and other places.

Nowadays, wide and smooth expressways have replaced waterways and are built through the mountains, connecting Longquan, which was once closed, to the outside world.Shangyang Town, 36 kilometers away from Longquan City, is the birthplace of Longquan Celadon. It is surrounded by mountains and streams.

In the early 1960s, the country revived Longquan Celadon, and the state-owned Longquan Porcelain Factory was established here. The factory is located in a beautiful place with mountains and rivers behind.During the heyday of the porcelain factory, more than 2000 technicians and workers gathered here to restore the Longquan unique skills that have been lost for thousands of years.

Along the way, Jin Sanye introduced: "The factory has become the current celadon town, and it has been developed into a tourist attraction. The technical backbones have scattered, and most of them have established their own businesses, such as national masters Xu Chaoxing, Mao Zhengcong, Xia Houwen, etc. .”

"The place where they used to work was preserved, and their names were engraved on wooden signs and hung in front of the door. The famous porcelain makers were placed in the luxurious and magnificent celadon master garden by Longquan City, where they lived next to each other."

"Son inheriting father's business, master-student inheritance, this inheritance method is the mainstream of Longquan. The craftsmanship restored and improved in the porcelain factory is like a big river, spreading to every corner of Longquan along the connection of father-son, master-student. , torrent. It not only means the inheritance of skills, but also determines the acquisition of resources and opportunities, and even aesthetics."

Pointing to the green hills in the distance, he exclaimed, "That's Zeng Qinji, the 170-year-old dragon kiln!"
