Liu Pleiades nodded slightly to Chef Hojo and then planned to turn around and leave.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Liu Pleiades!"
But before he could leave, he was stopped. He turned around and asked with some confusion:
"Chef Hojo, is there anything else?"
I saw Chef Hojo's face changing for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and bowed straight to Liu Pleiades. It was not the usual neon bow for daily greetings, but the big bow at 90°, and it was also a straight bow.
It is really hard to believe that a middle-aged man over forty would give such a gift to a young man.
Next to her, Miyoko Hojo stood up anxiously and shouted:
"Father, what are you doing?"
Chef Hojo ignored his daughter and continued to bow in a low voice:
"Mr. Liu Pleiades, I would like you to give some guidance to my daughter Miyoko in her cooking skills. Please."
Miyoko Hojo couldn't help being stunned after hearing this, but Liu Subaru narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Hojo, do you know what you are talking about? Since you understand Chinese culture so well, you should have heard the saying "the law shall not be passed on", especially when it comes to traditional Chinese cuisine."
Of course, Chef Hojo knows that in mainland China, the sectarianism among Chinese cuisine schools is quite serious, even more serious than that in other countries’ culinary circles. What I’m referring to here is not the differences between men and women, but “xenophobia”!
"From father to son, from son to grandson, from generation to generation..." These words are not just words. Some cooking factions even prefer to cut off the inheritance rather than pass it on to outsiders, let alone foreigners, because they have no heirs. Although now
It is rare, but it does exist. Those people think that the laws of their ancestors are left to the barbarians, which is a great disrespect. They will not have peace after death, and will be held accountable by their ancestors.
Modern people may find it ridiculous, but this is their lifelong persistence. Even in modern society, the Chinese cuisine world is much more open, but there are still many people who insist on tradition, and there are not a few.
Although Liu Pleiaxing is not such a conservative person, it does not mean that he is willing to teach others. He is unconventional enough to put it aside. The most important thing is that he is lazy... He has not yet fully figured out his cooking skills, so how can he have any free time?
Teach others!
"Mr. Liu Pleiades, I know my request is a bit abrupt, but please rest assured that I am not asking for anything. My daughter is the next generation heir to the Hojo House, but she still has many shortcomings. I just want you to
Just give me some advice... I will definitely be very grateful afterward!!"
When Liu Pleiades heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out:
"Thank you very much? How many are there? Is it a lot?"
This sudden change instantly made the father and daughter dumbfounded. The master in Hojo Miyoko's heart was instantly shattered. She looked at the young man with golden eyes in front of her, which was a vivid proof that her eyes were open to "money".
Chef Hojo was slightly startled when he saw this, but he quickly came to his senses as he was well-informed, and with a hint of joy in his heart, he quickly said:
"I will definitely not disappoint you sir, please rest assured!"
At this time, Liu Pleiades also realized that his appearance was contrary to his tall image, so he coughed quickly and covered it up:
"Well, these are not important, but since Mr. Hojo is so sincere, I will make an exception and give some guidance to Miss Miyoko!"
Maybe it was indeed a bit false. Even Liu Pleiades couldn't speak anymore in the end. He could only smile awkwardly and stopped talking.
Kitchen!
In order to prevent Miyoko Hojo from being disturbed this time, Chef Hojo took great pains. Not only did he close the business early for the first time, but he also emptied the entire kitchen, leaving only Liu Pleiades and Miyoko Hojo. Even he himself was not allowed to be here.
, but in fact, this was requested by Liu Subaru himself. Although Chef Hojo felt pity, he didn't say anything.
…
In the huge kitchen, only Liu Pleiades and Miyoko Hojo were left. The cooking table in the middle was filled with a variety of fresh ingredients. Most of the kitchen utensils were modern Chinese kitchen utensils.
Liu Pleiades stood in front of the cooking table, looked at Miyoko Hojo who was standing upright, and said in a deep voice with no expression on her face:
"I won't teach you anything specifically, and preaching and explaining is not what I'm good at. The cooking skills you have learned are very different from my god, so I will only teach you some basic skills."
Looking at the serious-looking Liu Subaru, Miyoko Hojo also looked stern and replied:
"yes!"
"Okay, let's start now!"
After Liu Pleiades finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the stove, pulled out a square knife and explained:
"From basic to advanced, just see what you can learn while I cook. First, the first dish is "Stir-fried Qingjiang Cai"!"
After saying that, Liu Pleiaxing took out the ingredients from the cooking table, cleaned them up, put them on the chopping board and said:
"Pay attention to where I cut the knife, which lines of vegetables, how to fully bring out all the deliciousness of the vegetables without destroying the texture of the ingredients, how to apply spices correctly according to the properties of the ingredients, and
The precision of the heat…”
As Miyoko Hojo listened to Liu Subaru's explanation, her big bright eyes became brighter and brighter, as if a new world had opened before her eyes, and countless new knowledge she had never learned before was revealed bit by bit in front of her eyes.
While explaining, Liu Pleiades cooked the ingredients, and soon a delicious "fried green vegetables" appeared in front of Miyoko Hojo. As soon as she tasted it, Miyoko Hojo felt that her taste buds were exploding, and she felt extremely delicious and refreshing.
Can't stop.
When Hojo Miyoko came back to her senses, she realized that the plates in front of her were all empty, not even a shred of vegetables was left. With a "swish", Hojo Miyoko's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she bowed and apologized to Liu Subaru.
road:
"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, I was so rude..."
Liu Pleiaxing waved his hand but said it didn't matter. He had seen such scenes a lot. If he couldn't conquer even a girl's cooking with his dignified chef, that would be his biggest failure.
However, Miyoko Hojo didn't think so, and she kept bowing to him and apologizing. If just now her father begged Liu Subaru to teach her cooking skills, Miyoko Hojo was still a little worried, but now she is completely convinced.
She was convinced that even a simple dish like "fried green vegetables" was cooked by Liu Subaru to be so delicious. Miyoko Hojo was full of expectations for the next instructions.
Liu Pleiades looked at Miyoko Hojo's beautiful big eyes, which were full of hope, and smiled slightly, saying softly:
