Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Yuzhu was confused. How could your wife give me a surprise? Why did this sentence sound so unpleasant? Or ambiguous!
Unfortunately, Lou Zhenhua did not say much, but left the study with a meaningful smile;

The master has left, and as a cook, He Yuzhu can't stay in the study any longer, right? He can only smile bitterly and follow;
He wanted to see what Lou Zhenhua was up to. After all, he was already the father of three children, so he couldn't let him marry that naive girl, right?

“Zhu Zi, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Lou Tan, and my daughter, Lou Xiao’e;

Madam, this is He Yuzhu, the man who cooks Tan's cuisine that I mentioned to you!"

Walking into the living room, Lou Zhenhua introduced He Yuzhu to his wife and daughter with a smile, and Lou Tan was stunned;
In the past year, the old man looked worried, and even when facing guests, she could tell that he was forcing a smile, but today was strange;

It had already been known that He Yuzhu knew how to cook Tan's cuisine, and it was impossible for the two of them to discuss recipes in the study. So how did Old Lou resolve his worries?
What is so special about this cook? You know, Lao Lou’s worries are not simple!

"I'll call you Zhuzi too. Please take a seat. Aunt Xu, serve the tea!"

No matter how much she was thinking, Lou Tan still reacted immediately, suppressed her doubts, and asked Xu's mother to serve tea;
As for Lou Xiao'e, she looked at He Yuzhu with great interest, as if she was admiring a rare treasure, which made the experienced He Yuzhu feel uncomfortable and wanted to ask him what he was looking at.
"Hello, Madam, hello, Miss Lou!"

He Yuzhu simply said hello and sat down on the sofa confidently, looking forward to the next surprise!

"I'll call you Zhuzi too. Zhuzi, where did you learn how to cook Tan's cuisine? It smells very authentic. How about the next dish?"

Lou Tan was curious. The hanging soup part was indeed good. There was nothing to say. Even the family members were almost the same and had a deep understanding of the three flavors.

But after all, it's just a smell, the actual cooking skills remain to be verified;
Although I am not good at cooking, I have no problem tasting it, as it is a family tradition;
There are very few people in Beijing who can cook Tan's cuisine. We can't let Tan's cuisine decline, right? Especially in the current situation of material scarcity;

If this young man really has this talent, I wouldn't mind giving him some benefits!
"Madam, I learned Tan's cuisine from my father. As for where my father learned it from, I don't know.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but this is just word of mouth, without any systematic practice. You also know that the ingredients of Tan's cuisine are too precious!"

He Yuzhu didn't lie about this. He still had a lot of theoretical knowledge about Tan's cuisine in his mind, but it was only at the theoretical level.
I've never tried it in real life. The ingredients are either abalone or shark fin. How can ordinary people enjoy it?

“That’s true. This is why Tan’s cuisine cannot be introduced into thousands of households like Sichuan cuisine. The ingredients are too picky.

Our meal was prepared with great difficulty, let alone others. Without the opportunity to cook, their cooking skills will naturally be limited! " Lou Tan nodded in agreement, but she was indescribably proud in her heart. This was the crystallization of her ancestors' wisdom, and it was also a dish pursued by the upper class, unique in its own way!
Next, He Yuzhu and Lou Tan had an in-depth discussion. Although Lou Tan couldn't do it, he liked it because of what he saw and heard, so he naturally surpassed him.

He Yuzhu has a wealth of experience as a chef, and he can learn from others' experience, so he is naturally not inferior. Lou Zhenhua looked at the two with interest;

Although I don't understand it, this is already very difficult. In the battle between family tradition and unconventional methods, the unconventional methods still have the upper hand. Is there anything funnier?
He Yuzhu's understanding of Tan's cuisine is not as deep as Lou Tan's, but when communicating, he still does not lose out and is very comfortable;

If this kid had not been born in this era, he would definitely not be what he is now. If nothing else, his cooking skills would make him stand out from the crowd.

As for Lou Xiao'e, she kept looking into the kitchen. What kind of dish was that? After stewing for such a long time, this chef still had no intention of taking it out of the pot? It was too tempting, wasn't it?
Xu's mother looked at this scene speechlessly. After all, she was considered He Yuzhu's elder, right? Her legs were sore from standing aside. Why were people so different?

"Zhu Zi, I have to admit that you understand Tan's cuisine to a certain extent. Your father He Daqing doesn't have such a level.
What Lao Lou said is right, you are indeed extremely talented. Now it all depends on your cooking. If the following dish pleases me, I will give you a gift!"

Lou Tan smiled with satisfaction. She didn't know what challenges she would face next. The copy in her hand could not be without a successor.

Tan's cuisine has been passed down to this day, and there are countless factions. It is no longer exclusive to the Tan family, but the most authentic inheritance is still in the hands of the Tan family;
This is also caused by thousands of years of culture. Even in the 1960s, the technological judgment has not been broken.
The son of a technician is a technician, and it is impossible to acquire skills without apprenticeship, unlike in the past, when a single New Oriental could train many people;
"I'm looking forward to it, ma'am. You guys can chat slowly. The soup should be almost ready. I'll go check it out!"

He Yuzhu looked at the wall clock. It had been five hours. It was time to start cooking. It was a feature of Tan’s cuisine that a meal could take several hours to prepare!
"Madam, how is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? Zhuzi's talent in cooking is unmatched by ordinary people, even better than most;
He Daqing can only be considered a bit talented, and you are very picky about the dishes he cooks. Next, take a look at what Zhuzi cooks, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!"

Lou Zhenhua recalled the scene many years ago when he asked He Daqing to come to his home to cook. His wife tasted a few bites and said that it was not authentic enough.

He Daqing, who was a hottie, immediately looked unhappy. If it wasn't for his face, he would have walked away in anger. It would be strange if the chef would be happy to tell him that his cooking skills were not good.
Finally, when he learned that his wife was from the Tan family, He Daqing's attitude changed 90 degrees and he humbly asked for advice;

My wife is absolutely impeccable when it comes to tasting Tan’s cuisine. Now it seems like a reincarnation after many years. If the father fails, what about the son?

After about an hour, the dish was ready, and Xu's mother was called to serve;

Braised shark's fin, bird's nest in clear soup, king prawns, braised black sea cucumber, duck and braised beef brisket were placed on the table. Lou Xiaoe was shocked.
Xu's mother didn't recognize it, but she had eaten a lot of it when she was a child. She didn't expect today's dishes to be so luxurious that they blinded her eyes!
"It's delicious, I wonder how it tastes. Xu Ma, prepare a few cups and a clean spittoon!"

Lou Tan looked at the dishes on the table with a smile. Today's Tan family dishes were a gift from Lou Zhenhua to her. How many years had it been since she last ate them?
The food tasting must be done professionally, so that the taste of some dishes cannot be mixed and affect her evaluation;
She was more serious than ever before. If she seemed a little casual, it would be disrespectful to her ancestors! (End of this chapter)
