"Old Sir, these are all simple home-cooked dishes. I don't know if they are to your liking." Xu Yun smiled slightly and said, "If there's anything that doesn't suit your appetite, feel free to tell me. I'll get someone to cook whatever you want to eat right away. "
The old man nodded his head with satisfaction. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip himself. "Then I'll taste this Double Cooked Pork Slices first."
Little Dongbei also seemed to want to hear his evaluation of the chefs under him. Although Little Dongbei was the head chef here, several of his subordinates were high-level chefs.
Many times, Little Dongbei would humbly ask them for advice.
"In order to adapt to the taste of the foreign guests, this Double Cooked Pork Slices was changed from the salty and fresh Charred Pork Slices to a sweet and sour dish. The pork tenderloin was sliced and marinated to taste. Then, it was wrapped in the gravy and fried. After that, it was put into the pot and fried until golden brown. Then, it was put into the pot and stir-fried." The old man seemed to be very knowledgeable about eating. "Therefore, this Double Cooked Pork Slices has a golden color and a sweet and sour taste."
"Old Sir, are you a gourmet?" Xu Yun asked with a smile.
The old man shook his head. "I can't be considered a gourmet, but I still have a little research on eating. This Double Cooked Pork Slices has a slightly stronger sour taste. If you remove this slight sourness, the taste will be the pinnacle."
Slightly sour? You can even taste that? When Lin Ge heard this, he was actually a little unhappy.
At least in his opinion, everyone had different tastes. Some people could pour half a bottle of vinegar and a plate of chili when eating noodles, while some people couldn't even eat a drop of chili oil because of the spiciness.
Therefore, there was no standard for how sour it was. Why did this old man say that it wasn't delicious if it was more than half sour?
After evaluating this dish, the old man took another sip of the wine and praised, "I can't find any fault with this wine. Hahaha, Hua Xia has been brewing wine for so many years. This white wine is more fragrant than those foreign wines. Is there anything wrong with this?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." Xu Yun smiled.
After putting down the wine glass, the old man picked up a piece of potato from the dish. This dish was made up of eggplant, potato, and green pepper. The old man spat it out after eating half a mouthful. "Why is it called 'San Xian'? It's because this dish must be made with fresh ingredients. This potato is obviously not that fresh. If it wasn't just dug out from the ground, it doesn't deserve to be called 'San Xian'."
Lin Ge was a little annoyed. Why was this old man always finding fault with him?
"We really have to pay attention to this matter. We can't cook the Fried Potato and Green Bean Dish if they are not fresh." Xu Yun was still calm and composed.
"You're worth teaching." The old man was very proud. "Let me try this marinated bone again."
At this time, Xu Yun and Little Dongbei no longer expected that he wouldn't find fault with them.
However, the old man was full of praise for the bone. "Yes, yes. It's very good. The marinated bone blends well with the meat. This can also be considered a craftsmanship!"
But before Xu Yun and Little Dongbei could relax, the old man complained again. "Wait, why is the marrow-marinated bone marinated in the bone broth … Sigh, the marrow-marinated bone marinated in a special way. What a pity. It's really a pity."
"Sir, I'm really sorry. My chef here is still a little too inexperienced. It's been hard on you. I can only make do with it," Xu Yun said.
At this time, Bai Liang couldn't sit still. He was really afraid that the old man would say something bad again.
In his memory, the old man wasn't so particular. Back then, in the mountains, he gave him some boiled pig meat and water and he ate it very happily.
Why was he suddenly so picky now? He wasn't so picky even when he ate the Pig Slaughter Dish he made just now.
Lil 'Dongbei raised his head and looked at Xu Yun. He felt very sorry for Xu Yun. He really didn't expect the old man to pick on him like this.
"I don't have any appetite after seeing this dish." The old man pointed at the stew. "Although the stew is called stew, it doesn't put everything in it. Don't look at how there are all kinds of delicacies in it. Deer antler, abalone, you can see them at a glance. The taste of these good things together doesn't necessarily taste good."
The old man drank the white wine in the cup in one gulp. Suddenly, he took out a large iron wine pot and said to Little Dongbei, "Bai Liang, go and pour the Wuliangye into my bottle. I won't drink it today. I've drunk enough."
Little Dongbei could only do as he was told. Xu Yun pointed at the old man's bowl and motioned for Lin Ge to get him a bowl of soup.
Although Lin Ge was very unwilling in his heart, he could only do as he was told in the end.
It was this bowl of soup that completely ignited the anger in Lin Ge's heart.
The old man didn't stand on ceremony. He took it and drank it directly without saying thank you. Lin Ge wasn't someone who would bicker with the old man about a thank you.
What was infuriating was that the old man directly spat it out after drinking a mouthful as if he had drunk some disgusting poison!
"Soup, soup, soup! This big dough is called a soup?! That's not how a soup is made! " The old man said angrily, "The soup has to be as big as the small pill of the Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill. That way, it'll be easier to drink. What's the name of such a big soup? It's hard to eat it. How can it be drunk directly?!"
Lin Ge slammed the table without warning. Xu Yun didn't react.
At this time, Lin Ge didn't care whether Xu Yun would control him or not, but he had to get their face back. "What do you mean?!"
The old man was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Lin Ge. "Is that all you have?"
"Don't take advantage of your seniority!" Lin Ge said, "I can respect you, but the premise is that you have to respect us too! From the moment we came in until now, you've been talking nonsense and looking for trouble. "
"Pigeon, don't mess around." Xu Yun softly stopped him.
Lin Ge didn't want to listen anymore. "Brother, let me finish. Let's talk about whether this old man is nitpicking and looking for trouble!"
"Say it. I want to hear it too," the old man said.
"Let's not talk about how useless it is for you to take the wine back. Let's talk about this Double Cooked Pork Slices. You said that it's a little sour, but for someone like me who can eat sour food, I still feel that it's missing a little bit!" Lin Ge said as he picked up a piece of Double Cooked Pork Slices and stuffed it into his mouth. "It's not sour at all!"
The old man smiled. "It's also a failure if it's not sour at all. But as the saying goes, it's hard to please everyone. You have to find the most popular taste. That's what I said, it's a little less sour."
"Okay, okay, okay. I won't argue with you about this. Also, this potato, you said it's not fresh. It must have just been dug out from the ground?" Lin Ge said, "There aren't many people farming in this city now. Where am I going to find fresh ones? It's just a matter of logistics. It takes at most two days. You're saying it's not fresh. You're really good! "
The old man didn't think he was wrong at all. "I'm just telling the truth."
"Come on!" Lin Ge said, "You're just looking for trouble! Dumpling soup requires the dumplings to be the same size. I think you've eaten too many Six Flavor Rehmannia Pills, right?! "
Seeing Lin Ge flip out, Little Northeast was too embarrassed to say anything. Other than embarrassment, there was more embarrassment. At this moment, he was the one who felt the most uncomfortable being stuck in the middle.
Fortunately, Xu Yun didn't look angry. "Pigeon, stop talking nonsense. Old Mister's opinion is still very meaningful."
"Brother, I know you're giving Bai Liang face. I also want to give him face. If he's your brother, then he's my brother." Lin Ge said as he glanced at Little Northeast. "Brother, it's really not that I don't want to give you face, but this acquaintance of yours is too … thinking too highly of himself. Where is our Brother Yun's face?"
Little Northeast nodded repeatedly. "It's all my fault."
Xu Yun patted the table lightly. "Both of you aren't wrong, but Old Mister is even more right. His advice is precious. Pigeon, don't interrupt."
"I just feel aggrieved," Lin Ge said.
"If you feel aggrieved, then do your best." The old man said, "Don't let others find a chance to make you aggrieved."
Lin Ge didn't even look at him. Who cares!
