"I'm sorry, you might not be able to accept it at first, but…" Chen Yun smiled and said lightly.
As for Zheng Shu, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. However, she immediately smiled gently and pulled Zheng Yuan's arm to comfort him."Brother, don't be anxious. Since the Taoist priest said so, he must have his reasons. Moreover, I believe that the Taoist priest must be thinking for me.”
Zheng Yuan gradually calmed down upon hearing this. He cupped his hands and bowed slightly. With a sincere expression, he said,"I believe that you won't spout nonsense. I wonder if we can have the honor to ask you to solve the problem that has troubled my little sister for decades?"
"Please, Daoist Priest. The reward is not a problem.”
"Hahaha, don't worry! I said that your sister is inhuman, but she is a living person at this moment!”
" Haha!" Chen Yun laughed." I definitely won't sit by and do nothing. But before that, you should try my cooking first. There's no hurry!"”
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Seeing Taoist Master Little Chen's calm and collected appearance, Zheng Shu felt very relieved for some reason.
She heaved a sigh of relief and asked with a smile,"Oh right, brother, you haven't told me why I suddenly saw Taoist Priest Xiao Chen! Is this a surprise?"
"Didn't you say that you wanted to try Taoist Priest Little Chen's cooking? I specially invited him over.”Zheng Yuan composed himself and smiled helplessly.
It had to be said that Chen Yun looked very calm on the surface, but she sighed in her heart.
Zheng Yuan's younger sister was indeed outstanding and beautiful.
One had to know that although Chen Yun had not seen countless women, many of the most beautiful women in the world had pursued him.
This was the first time Chen Yun had seen Zheng Shu's style.
It was as if she had walked out of a classic painting of a beautiful lady. She was gentle and pleasant, untainted by dust, and was just about to bloom.
However, such an understanding and beautiful girl with an outstanding temperament was actually envied by the heavens to this extent. What a pity.
Chen Yun suddenly thought for a moment and asked Zheng Shu with a smile,""Oh right, don't tell me you're the Hatred Sea of Love?”
Zheng Shu smiled awkwardly when she heard that. She nodded slightly and said,"It's me. Ah, I'm ashamed that this name does sound very shy. Haha, actually, I came up with it when I read a romance novel. I'm called Little Shu now."
"I was right. You are indeed a beautiful and moving young lady, haha ~"
"Thank you for exaggerating."
"Alright, let's not chat anymore."
Hearing this, Chen Yun did not waste any more time and was about to start cooking the grilled fish.
"Move aside! I want to see where Director Zheng hired this chef from.! Who was this? Why did the young miss have an appetite for his food?？”
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the garden. Hearing this voice, Zheng Yuan could not help but frown slightly.
Chen Yun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a chef in a white chef's uniform walking over with a dissatisfied expression.
Chen Yun narrowed his eyes. He noticed the five-star symbol on the chef's chest.
Chefs with higher standards in China would often get a chef qualification certificate, which was divided into five levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Mechanic, Advanced Mechanic.
The pure gold five-star logo he wore represented the first level of the country's professional qualification and was also a senior technician. In their eyes, even a five-star Michelin chef was nothing more than this.
The chef walked up to Zheng Yuan and said politely,""Director Zheng, I heard that you found a mountain bumpkin to take care of Miss 'meals today. Although I, Dongfang Han, don't dare to say that my culinary skills are unrivaled in the world, I can't let such a nameless person snatch my rice bowl.”
Dongfang Han was specially invited by Zheng Yuan from the Chinese Catering Industry Association. He was a top-notch chef. He had once been in charge of a state banquet. Currently, only Zheng Shu could barely enjoy some of the dishes he cooked, so Zheng Yuan was very polite to Dongfang Han.
"Master Dongfang, my sister saw this Taoist priest having a picnic yesterday and made a meal of pork ribs and wild mushrooms. That's why she suddenly had an appetite increase.”
Zheng Yuan explained awkwardly.
"Stewed pork ribs with wild mushrooms?"
Dongfang Han's expression was uncertain." Director Zheng, you know your sister's situation. She will vomit whenever she eats food that is too heavy. It's not like you haven't seen your sister vomit until she's exhausted. How would outsiders know some of the young miss 'taboos and know the limits?？What if it causes Miss to feel unwell?"
"Moreover, you said that this is a mere Daoist priest just now. That's just to join in the fun. A Daoist priest only knows how to make some simple tea and food.!”
Dongfang Han said anxiously.
It was obvious that Dongfang Han was very concerned about Zheng Shu.
Dongfang Han had been ensuring Zheng Shu's food for so many years. This person was very responsible. When he heard that Zheng Yuan had actually found a streamer from some unknown mountain ditch to cook for the lady, he was instantly furious.
First of all, he was worried that Zheng Shu's body would not be able to withstand the torture. What if she got sick from the mouth? Secondly, he felt that his ability was being questioned.
After all, he was a national high-level chef, and many of his disciples were at the level of state banquets. How could he bear such a feeling of distrust?
Regarding Dongfang Han's rude remarks, Chen Yun pretended that nothing had happened.
It had nothing to do with him. If he didn't need him, he would just leave immediately. Anyway, his reward of 100,000 yuan was already in his pocket.
"How about this? I was also very sincere to invite Taoist priest here. It wasn't easy for me either. Master Dongfang, please calm down and don't make things too difficult for me.”
"Let him cook a meal first, then you can check. If you have any questions or opinions, just raise them directly.”
Zheng Yuan thought for a moment and comforted her.
Although Dongfang Han was still a little reluctant, he had nothing to say after hearing Zheng Yuan's words.
Zheng Yuan needed Dongfang Han very much, so he was still very respectful and polite to him. After all, even among the chefs in charge of the state banquet, there were very few who could satisfy Zheng Shu's appetite. It was also extremely difficult to find someone like him.
Chen Yun had only come here to cook a meal. In the future, Zheng Shu's food would still have to rely on Master Dongfang!!
"Um, you can start now. "Please forgive me, Master Dongfang was also confused because of his concern," Zheng Yuan said apologetically.
"It's fine. I naturally have to do my best to take someone's money.”
Chen Yun still had a calm and composed look on his face. Faced with Dongfang Han's doubts, his heart did not waver at all.
Zheng Yuan admired Chen Yun's magnanimity and attitude.
Soon, Chen Yun was preparing to roast the fish. Dongfang Han was staring at him with an unfriendly expression. Zheng Yuan, Zheng Shu, and some of his subordinates were also looking forward to it curiously.
Dongfang Han looked at Chen Yun's handsome and young appearance with disdain.
Which real chef wasn't a fat or burly man with a strong back and a strong waist?
Even if he did not make a general comparison, he had to be muscular. He glanced at the young Taoist priest's arms and wrists and had a rough idea in his heart.
There were some reasons for this. On the one hand, it was because the strong wrist and arm strength of the spoon was indispensable. The chef would naturally be trained for a long time. On the other hand, the chef would often taste the dishes personally. Over time, he would definitely gradually become fat and strong.
His body was well-proportioned and thin, and he was not strong at all. He reckoned that the young miss had taken a liking to his handsome face, so what was this? A feast for the eyes?
Dongfang Han thought to himself. Then, he snorted coldly.
Moreover, what was a mere Daoist priest eating in the Daoist temple all day? Radish and cabbage porridge?
What kind of proper dishes could she cook?？
This was the prejudice he had always had against Taoist priests.
At this time, Chen Yun officially began to cook.
He did not care about the gazes of the people around him at all.
The first step was to choose the fish. The fish that Zheng Yuan had chosen were undoubtedly of excellent quality and extremely expensive.
"This one."
Chen Yun was very satisfied as she fished up a big fish from the water.
"Wild split belly fish? How rare! Split-belly fish only thrived in rivers where snow melted in the highlands or in rapids in high mountains and valleys. Their meat was delicious and firm, and wild ones were even more priceless.”
Hearing Chen Yun's explanation, the others could not understand what was going on, but Dongfang Han raised his eyebrows slightly.
What Chen Yun said was completely correct.
Moreover, this wild fish was slightly smaller than the farmed fish, but it could get enough exercise in the wild, and the meat was more delicious.
He didn't expect a young Taoist priest in the mountains to be able to distinguish the species of this fish and whether it was wild or artificially bred.
Ha, but it might just be a coincidence.
Following that, Chen Yun skillfully scraped the scales and removed his cheeks. His saber technique was extremely fast, dazzling people. He flew up and down with extreme agility.
Zheng Shu didn't dare to watch the process of killing the fish. She covered her eyes with both hands, but she couldn't help but peek at Chen Yun's handsome knife movements through the gaps between her fingers.
She couldn't help but have her eyes sparkle. A man who could cook was the most handsome!!!
Zheng Yuan also praised Chen Yun's technique.
Looking at Dongfang Han at the side, he was slightly surprised at this moment.
"Good fellow, this…It's actually Scaling?"
He exclaimed in surprise.
One had to know that ordinary people would at most roughly scrape off the scales when cooking fish. If the fish scales were not handled properly, it would have a great impact on the taste of the final cooked dish.
However, Chen Yun's move had surprised Dongfang Han!!
Scaling, using a knife to perfectly match the fish scales, and then cutting off a very thin layer on the surface of the fish's body, completely shaving off the fish scales.
This operation sounded simple, but it was very difficult to actually operate it.
Whether it was strength or accuracy, the chef had high requirements!!!
As far as he knew, even among the chefs at the level of state banquets, there were very few who could be said to know how to scale!!
"Director Zheng, where did this Taoist priest come from?？？Which family did you learn from?"
Dongfang Han could not help but ask Zheng Yuan.
At this moment, he did not dare to underestimate Chen Yun at all. Instead, he was a little excited.
Even if he could barely do it, he probably wouldn't be able to do it so perfectly.
"You can ask him yourself later." Zheng Yuan smiled.”
Dongfang Han nodded. He stood at the side and watched Chen Yun's operation attentively.
At this moment, Chen Yun gripped the kitchen knife tightly and quietly cut and shaved. A very complete fish bone was actually removed from the entire fish's body!!
The speed was so fast that it made people dumbfounded!!!
"Bone shaving?"
This time, Dongfang Han's eyes widened in disbelief!!!
This little Taoist priest actually knew how to shave bones with such high skill difficulty!
One had to know that China's traditional food culture had been passed down for thousands of years. There were many magical techniques and recipes that had gradually been lost in the long river of history.
For example, this bone shaving technique.
Dongfang Han had once heard from his master that there was once a top-notch imperial chef who could cut open a fish's body with a knife to remove the bones. After that, the fish's body was still intact. This was like a chef dissecting a cow, and the overall beauty of the fish was completely preserved.
At that time, Dongfang Han felt that this was just some exaggerated story with some legendary elements.
Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was truly shocked.
This young man really couldn't be judged by his appearance. He was an expert!
