I have a role in the heavens

The old man drank the tofu soup in the small bowl in one go, with a look of satisfaction on his face, which made the children behind him secretly amazed. Then he looked at Wang Li and Li Ji who had put down the bowl, and asked directly .

"How about it? You don't need me to comment on this dish. You should know the level of the craftsmanship, so I don't have to show my shame!"

Wang Li's face turned a little bitter. He had nothing to say. He was not qualified to evaluate such craftsmanship, so he remained silent.

Li Ji had a hint of admiration on his face and praised.

"This master's craftsmanship is amazing. I am resigned to being inferior. But for some reason, Wensi tofu was served first and the pagoda meat was put behind?"

A look of doubt appeared on Li Ji's face. As soon as he said this, even the old man showed curiosity. Wensi tofu and pagoda meat are both knife-making dishes, but in comparison, pagoda meat is simpler to make. The difficulty is lower, so it should be played first. Why did Wensi Tofu play first?

Chefs are very particular about serving dishes. They start with easier dishes and then more difficult ones. Generally, the later dishes reflect the skill and level of the chef. Logically speaking, the order of serving dishes is not unknown to the other party. Why do they do it this way? It really makes everyone happy. Puzzled.

The old man and Li Ji both looked at Ma Suqin, hoping that she could help clear up some doubts. Although Ma Suqin knew some cooking skills, she was not advanced and could only cook some home-cooked dishes. Although Ma Suqin was able to cook well thanks to Ma Hua's guidance. They looked alike, but they had no idea why they were confused. They just shook their heads slightly and said softly.

"I don't know the reason either!"

There was a trace of disappointment on the faces of the old man and Li Ji, but they suddenly lifted their spirits. Only the unknown can make people more excited. They couldn't help but cast curious eyes on the kitchen, waiting for the arrival of the next dish.

When Ma Suqin saw this, she hurriedly walked towards the kitchen without any urging from the two of them. The people watching didn't realize it, but they also turned their attention to the kitchen. The diners who had just speeded up their meals stopped their chopsticks again, and they didn't even notice. Regardless of the urging and anxiety of the diners queuing up behind them, they won't be ready to leave until they finish watching this good show tonight, so just worry about those behind you.

Ma Suqin had just returned to the kitchen. The pagoda meat that Ma Hua had prepared was placed on a plate, but it was covered by a lid and did not show its true face. Ma Wu Suqin only saw everyone in the kitchen looking at the table with dull eyes. Regarding the dish that was served, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and his clear and bright eyes looked at Ma Hua with a hint of inquiry.

Ma Hua smiled softly, washed his hands under the water, shook his head slightly, and didn't explain much, just urged.

"Hurry up and serve the food! Be careful to handle it with care!"

Ma Suqin, full of doubts, picked up the pagoda meat and walked toward the lobby with brisk steps and a graceful back.

Ma Suqin gently placed the plate in the middle of the table. At this time, the bowl of Wensi tofu had been drank by Wang Li and others, and there was no trace left. As for the three non-sticks, it was gone long ago, and only the bright and clean ones were left. The dishes looked as if they had just been washed.

The old man looked at the pagoda meat covered by the lid, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He reached out to stop Ma Suqin from lifting the lid, stood up, and slowly stretched out his right hand, preparing to do it himself.

The old man's hands don't have much flesh, and the veins on the back of his hands are clearly visible. The skin is still shiny, but there are also some age plaques, which shows the old man's age.

The old man gently lifted the lid. Before he could see the whole pagoda meat, the aroma filled the air. It was rich yet elegant, making everyone couldn't help but sniff and exclaim.

"smell good!"

"Suck!"

Someone secreted a lot of saliva in his mouth and had to swallow it. The sound made the people next to him startled. Even Ma Suqin couldn't help but look back at the person, causing his face to turn red with embarrassment and lower his head. His head and eyes were still staring at the pagoda meat on the table, reluctant to move away.

The old man secretly marveled at the aroma of the pagoda meat. He slowly lifted the lid with his hands, and gradually the whole picture of the pagoda meat appeared in front of everyone.

Glittering, a pagoda suddenly appeared. Under the light, it sparkled and was lifelike. The well-informed old man was stunned on the spot. He stared at the pagoda that could be called a work of art in front of him and couldn't believe himself. eyes, stretched out his hand to rub his eyes for a long time, and murmured in his mouth.

"Is this still pagoda meat?"

Li Ji also looked dumbfounded. As a first-class chef, this pagoda meat is his hometown dish, so he can naturally cook it. It is one of his specialty dishes, so he suggested that Wang Li order this dish. , just to find fault in the field in which he is good at, but now it seems that he is using a big knife in front of Guan Gong and a big ax in front of Lu Ban's door, which is embarrassing.

Although pagoda meat is made of piled meat slices due to its shape, it is still a variant of braised pork. The meat slices are just right in thickness, but the pagoda meat in front of you is different.

The old man looked at the sparkling pagoda, slowly stretched out his chopsticks, picked out a piece of meat, and looked at the lighted lamp in the lobby. It was as thin as a cicada's wings, clear and transparent, and he couldn't help but admire it.

"This chef is really good at his craftsmanship. This dish should no longer be called Pagoda Pork, but should be renamed Linglong Lantern Shadow Pagoda Pork!"

Li Ji nodded when he heard this, with a look of amazement on his face. The pagoda meat was actually sliced ​​as thin as a cicada's wings, so exquisite and clear that it could be clearly seen under the light. This kind of craftsmanship was unheard of.

"This is the pinnacle of the master's cooking skills. On the basis of the original pagoda meat, he has improved and upgraded it, bringing this dish to perfection!"

The old man was very moved. This level of cooking skills was amazing, but he didn't know how the dish tasted. After all, the appearance had changed, so the taste must have changed as well.

The old man put the shiny piece of meat into his mouth, took a sip, and it melted in his mouth without chewing at all. The aroma of the meat filled his mouth, it was fat but not greasy, and the texture was soft and glutinous. It was simply the best delicacy in the world, and he couldn't help but Satisfied, he closed his eyes and let out a contented sigh.

After a long time, the old man slowly opened his eyes, with a look of aftertaste in his eyes, shook his head and sighed.

"Amazing, pioneering, innovative, inclusive, a great master!"

At this time, Wang Li had a gloomy look on his face, and he kept holding the exquisite lantern-shadowed pagoda meat with the chopsticks in his hands. He was reluctant to put down his chopsticks, but his expression became more and more miserable the more he ate, which made everyone watch very interestingly.

The old man looked at the pagoda meat that was almost eaten up, and quickly joined in the fight for food. Finally, he looked at the empty plate and said angrily.

"It is a waste of natural resources. This kind of delicacies should be savored slowly. You are eating like gluttons and swallowing jujubes. You really let down the craftsmanship of this master!"
