Chen Yu's question was so tricky that Lee Yanyi didn't expect it.
Lee Yanyi believed that he knew a lot about food ingredients. For example, he even knew the knowledge that the water in the middle of a river could become sweet and delicious overnight. However, he was really not proficient in breeding.
"Humph. This old man doesn't raise pigs." Lee Yanyi came to himself and said without hesitation when he saw Chen Yu's complacent face.
"Yes, of course you don't raise pigs. But isn't this an ingredient? It's the ingredient of the meatball you just ate." Chen Yu pointed at the meatball in Lee Yanyi's bowl and revealed a malicious expression.
"Humph." Lee Yanyi snorted coldly and didn't answer him.
"Heh-heh. I'm sorry. I know what kind of pig it is." Chen Yu pointed at his own nose proudly.
Without waiting for Lee Yanyi to ask, Chen Yu started to tell him automatically.
"Do you know the Wuzhi Mountain pork?" Chen Yu rarely showed off in front of Lee Yanyi, so he naturally wouldn't say it out.
"Don't tell me it's the Wuzhi Mountain pork. That kind of pig has long been extinct. Do you think you can dig out my Wuzhi Mountain just because you know the Wuzhi Mountain?" Lee Yanyi snorted and said.
"Of course not. I just want to see if you have enough knowledge. Otherwise, you won't understand my introduction." Chen Yu said without hesitation.
"There's no ingredient that I don't know." Lee Yanyi was quite confident on this point.
While the two of them were confronting each other, Yuan Zhou was slightly surprised when he heard that. After all, he still had a lot of the extinct Wuzhi Mountain pork in his fridge.
"This is the shoulder meat of the Jasper Flower Pig. The Jasper Flower Pig is a rare small meat pig breed improved from the combination of the Hainan Wuzhi Mountain pork and the British Black Pig breed." Chen Yu glanced at the booklet at the side secretly and then said in one breath.
"I know this breed. But isn't it said that the breeders only supply it to others?" Lee Yanyi was a little puzzled.
"Who is Boss Yuan? Isn't it normal to have this kind of meat? Besides, Boss Yuan didn't say which breeders supplied it to him. I think it must be a better supplier." Chen Yu said confidently.
"Indeed, the taste is different. The taste isn't so crisp and tender. Ordinary plum blossom meat is at most tender and exquisite, but this meatball is crisp and tender and has a better texture," Lee Yanyi said earnestly.
"I'm not done yet. Boss Yuan's Seaweed Pigs eat jasmine, spirulina, and acorns. Moreover, the oleic acid in the acorns can keep the pig's heart healthy. This way, the meat produced is delicious," Chen Yu said. With Yuan Zhou's booklet in hand, he was able to quickly and fluently explain these professional terms.
For a moment, Lee Yanyi really didn't notice Chen Yu's small movements.
"Isn't it like a cow chewing on a peony if you know all these?" Lee Yanyi said sarcastically.
In Lee Yanyi's opinion, even if Chen Yu knew how precious the raw material was, it didn't matter how he fed it. If he didn't know how to appreciate it, then he didn't know how to appreciate it.
"Even so, it's still better than someone like you who only knows how to eat but doesn't know these things. You're even a critic," Chen Yu said with a look of disdain.
"I'm not a pig farmer," Lee Yanyi said coldly.
After making things difficult for Lee Yanyi, Chen Yu was in a good mood.
However, Lee Yanyi's days hadn't come to an end yet. One must know that he had offended many customers with his mouth.
Usually, he didn't care about it. But now that Chen Yu had become the first person to eat crabs and even managed to eat it, others naturally came.
This time, it was a very courteous little girl who came.
"Grandpa Lee, you like to drink this lemon water. Do you know the origin of this lemon?" Compared to Lee Yanyi, the little girl was actually in her twenties.
"Aren't you always ignorant and incompetent? Why are you suddenly interested in learning now?" Lee Yanyi frowned and asked.
"I just want to know all of a sudden," the girl emphasized the word "suddenly" and asked with a fake smile on her face.
As for the reason why Lee Yanyi said the girl was ignorant and incompetent, it was very simple. She had once said something wrong about the taste and cooking method of a dish.
At that time, Lee Yanyi directly ridiculed her for a long time and even defined her as ignorant and incompetent.
At that time, the girl was just chatting with her friend. Unexpectedly, she happened to be sitting beside Lee Yanyi and that was how this incident happened.
"The origin of this lemon is Malaysia, the Mediterranean coast, Southeast Asia and America. But now, we also grow it. It's more commonly eaten in France. But the one Boss Yuan has is produced in An Yue." Lee Yanyi said a bunch of professional words in one breath.
"You really know a lot. It's a pity that this lemon is only the seed of An Yue and doesn't grow in An Yue." The girl said with a look of pity.
"No. Judging from the taste of this lemon, it should be the Lemon King of An Yue." Lee Yanyi said affirmatively.
"It really isn't. This lemon is produced in the southern foothills of the Himalayas. The annual precipitation there is about 1000mm. Moreover, because the lemon likes warmth and is resistant to shade, cold and heat, it's suitable to be cultivated in the subtropical areas where it's warm in winter and cool in summer. The area is warm in winter and the annual temperature difference is small. Just like Chen Yu, the girl said a bunch of words as soon as she opened her mouth.
The difference between the girl and Chen Yu was that she came prepared and directly recited the words without having to read the booklet.
Not waiting for Lee Yanyi to retort, the girl continued to explain why the taste and fragrance were like that of the Lemon King.
"The lemons in Boss Yuan's restaurant are only taken from the mother plant and the other branches are all trimmed. After the nutrients are directly absorbed by a small amount of the lemons, it naturally has the top-notch taste." The girl said with a confident and earnest expression.
It was as if she had participated in such a strict selection of ingredients.
"Interesting. You surprisingly know all these. You must have memorized a lot of materials." Lee Yanyi said sharply.
"Of course. I also like to do homework very much. I don't fight unprepared." The girl said confidently.
"It's good that you don't speak carelessly." Lee Yanyi glanced at the girl and didn't get angry.
The girl had achieved her goal and let Lee Yanyi know that she also had outstanding abilities. Therefore, she went back to her seat contentedly.
However, Lee Yanyi still had to face questions from other customers one after another, such as the watermelon and the soybeans, the raw material of tofu.
The Clear Broth Noodle Soup provided by Yuan Zhou. In short, there were a lot of questions.
"I've told you. I'm not from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. How would I know these damn things?" Lee Yanyi said angrily.
"Um. It's good that you also don't know. It seems that Boss Yuan is really awesome. He even uses such top-notch ingredients." The customers sighed with emotion one after another.
"Ridiculous!" Lee Yanyi looked at the customers who had come to find him and said angrily.
"Grandpa Lee, look at this and you'll understand." Zhou Jia handed the booklet prepared by Yuan Zhou to Lee Yanyi at the side.
Lee Yanyi read quickly. He found what it was only after flipping through it slightly.
"You little brats. Is it fun to bully an old man like me? And you, the chef, why don't you cook properly and write the ingredient list? "Lee Yanyi said discontentedly in an angry manner.
