[Interstellar] King of Food

The old man kindly looked at the boy who was making faces.

"It's not like that!" Hearing this, the boy jumped off the chair, blushed and said angrily, "Grandpa, how can you say such a thing? Food is something that brings people happiness, so it's not like It's as dark as you said. I want to be the best chef, just because I hope that one day in the future, everyone in the world can't help but hear my name and see the food I cook. Smile! This is the power of food itself!"

"Remember what you said yourself." The old man's eyes became clear for a moment, "In any case, food must not be a tool for people to fight for power! That's why I hand over the heirloom recipe to you, not to others Human reasons. Only in the hands of those who truly love it can this recipe exert its incomparable power."

"I know, Grandpa, I will take good care of the recipes, as long as there are people, the recipes will be there." The boy said seriously.

The old man shook his head: "Haoxuan, cut your finger, drop a drop of blood on it, then write down the recipe carefully, and then burn it. I asked Master Yi Xue to calculate it for you when you were very young. Fate, your life is doomed to be childless, full of disasters and disasters, there is no unparalleled path, the phoenix burns into fire, spreads its wings and flies again, after experiencing life and death, your future life will be smooth."

Li Haoxuan stuck out his tongue: "Those fortune tellers are feudal dross, I don't believe what they say."

The old man stroked his hair lovingly: "What are you talking about? Master Zhou is a man of real ability. Since you are doomed to have no blood to continue Li's blood, and I don't want to give the recipe to the son who got into the eyes of money, then we The royal chef Li's lineage is destined to be cut off here, and the recipes are useless, just burn them."

Li Haoxuan nodded half-understood: "I see, Grandpa."

The old man stopped talking, as if he had fallen asleep, Li Haoxuan pushed him: "Grandpa, go to sleep in the room, you will catch a cold if you sleep outside."

The white-haired old man sat quietly on the rocking chair, a relieved smile froze on the corner of his lips.

The young man panicked, and tentatively put his finger under the old man's nose, his eyes widened in a daze, and a mist gradually spread on those bright eyes.

....................................

Breaking away from the memories of the past, Li Haoxuan's mood became terrible.

The chefs had just realized that the second prince was going to handle the ingredients by himself, and they were stunned in a daze. One of the older chefs said cautiously: "Second prince, please don't touch these things. , this is not a joke. The sharp blade will cut your delicate and soft fingers, and His Majesty will blame us. You don’t have to come here in person for what you want to eat, just send a servant to tell us, Leave the kitchen to us."

Li Haoxuan, who was in a bad mood, didn't want to talk to him, so he moved his fingers quickly, so fast that only an afterimage could be seen, and there seemed to be a wonderful melody in it.

You should know that when people evaluate whether a dish is good or not, it is often based on six aspects: color, aroma, taste, meaning, shape, and nourishment:

Color, whether the color of the food is attractive;

Fragrance, the sense of smell is the feeling that has been preserved for the longest time in human memory. Whether a dish is good or not can be roughly understood by smelling its taste;

Taste, different people have different tastes, how to make a dish that suits the taste of most people is a kind of knowledge;

Note that food should have cultural connotations, and the name of the dish should echo the material and shape of the dish;

Shape, the shape and decoration of dishes should bring beautiful enjoyment to customers;

Food can support people, the most important thing for a good dish is that it is rich in nutrients and has a reasonable mix of meat and vegetables.

In fact, there is another point, which is the cooking process of a chef: when a real chef cooks, every move will have a wonderful rhythm, giving people visual enjoyment, just like what Li Haoxuan showed at this time, even though I don’t know How about the final product, but just seeing the process of processing the ingredients will make people feel salivating.

Emerald green cucumbers, brightly colored tomatoes, bright orange carrots, ham exuding a strong aroma... all kinds of ingredients that need to be used are cut into small round or square pieces and neatly arranged together.

While slicing with one hand, Li Haoxuan beat the pot with the other hand, knocked the eggs lightly, turned the eggs over with a spoon, and turned off the heat when they were about seven ripe.

In this unique visual feast, everyone completely lost their ability to speak, and could only stare blankly at the handsome young man and the smooth and beautiful movements in his hands: his fingers seemed to be casting the greatest magic, with a power that made people feel ashamed. The magic of the human eye.

Li Haoxuan fetched the hot toast that the chef had just baked, cut it into slices, smeared it with bright red granular strawberry jam, put in the cut ingredients, and poured fragrant milk into a crystal clear glass , Eat it with relish.

Everyone in the kitchen swallowed in unison.

'Suddenly I feel very hungry and want to eat, I must not be alone.That fragrance seems to have its own consciousness, and it can't stop drilling into my nose~'

'It looks like an ordinary sandwich, why does it smell so good?I ate two bowls of oatmeal with dried yam and fruit in the morning, why is my stomach starting to growl now?It must have been digested too quickly...'

'Although the second prince doesn't look like His Majesty the King at all, the way he cooked just now is like a king inspecting his own territory!After picking up the kitchen knife, the temperament of the second prince changed suddenly!His whole body exudes a noble and elegant unique atmosphere, as if the whole world is under his control! '

'The second prince's cooking process is really handsome! !Starting today, my number one object of worship will change from the first prince of the military god to the second prince of the kitchen god!The second prince is really amazing! '

Li Haoxuan knew that the more hungry he was, the more he had to eat slowly, otherwise it would burden his stomach.He finished his breakfast slowly, drank all the milk, stretched out the tip of his bright red tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, and wiped the thick white circle of milk on his lips. Seems like a bad(?) Queen sent.

When washing rice, the white rice grains and jade-like fingers complement each other, almost dazzling people's eyes.Everyone in the kitchen blushed for some reason.

'What beautiful hands!Slender and slender, with distinct joints, like new bamboo shoots after the rain, full and clean nails, and knuckles that look just right! '

'It is said that hands are the second face of a person. Regardless of the appearance of the second prince, just by looking at these white and elastic hands, you can tell that the owner of the hands must be a handsome man! '

"The second prince's hands are so white and tender, they look very delicate, even better than the hands of the stars on TV who often use various expensive hand masks to maintain, it's really unreasonable!" '

Li Haoxuan said aloud: "Don't be in a daze, help me deal with the ingredients that I will use later." When cooking, Li Haoxuan is a different person than usual, he will be very strict with himself and others, and his speech will be very concise , so as to save time and prevent the freshness of ingredients from decreasing.

Seeing everyone nodding in a daze, Li Haoxuan thought inwardly: Do people in the palace have the habit of being in a daze?He shook his head, focused on the work in front of him, and directed them to process the ingredients to be used: sea cucumbers, shrimps, squid, herring, clams, and put them into the pot according to different time and heat.

These people are usually very proud of their status as imperial chefs, but they are full of joy when they carry out the tasks assigned by Li Haoxuan. How could it be possible to share a little bit of it with others?

Everyone in the kitchen has different ideas:

'Maybe the second prince will teach me a few tricks in private after seeing my performance, even if not, building a good relationship with the prince is a sure-fire deal.Remember these things now, when I leave the palace in the future, I can also publish books to make money. The title of the book is, um, it's called "The Second Prince That People Don't Know". '

"The second prince's knife skills just now are really amazing. He cuts vegetables quickly and quickly, unlike many people who are fast and slow. The cut ingredients are either wide or narrow. Even and neat, like a veteran with more than ten years of experience, the work is really beautiful, compared to his current age, it is really unbelievable. '

'The second prince is so handsome when he cooks, so handsome that people can't even close their legs!It is said that men who work hard are the most attractive, this sentence is really true!Those focused eyes, those slender fingers, those straight legs... Ah, he saw me, he saw me!What are you going to say to me?The light makeup I painted today suits me well?Has my recent weight loss paid off?Or does this little floral dress look artistic, fresh and sweet? '

"Don't be dazed," Li Haoxuan said sternly, "This is the third time I've said it, take the ginger that's in your hand!"

"Ah? Oh, oh, okay." For some reason, the chef, who seemed a little lost, fetched the ginger beside him.

Master the heat well, add finely chopped coriander, shredded ginger, and chopped green onion to taste, drop a few drops of mellow and rich sesame oil, and form colorless and transparent thin oil flowers on the water surface, turn off the heat, and the seafood porridge is done.

Everyone in the kitchen smelled the delicious and rich taste, their expressions were intoxicated, and the corners of some people's mouths couldn't help drooling.

Emerald green scallions, orange-red sesame oil, snow-white shrimp meat, white rice grains...all of these constitute a perfect picture, which deeply catches people's attention, and their mouths unconsciously secrete Lots of saliva.
