Dining room No. 7, in the kitchen.

Today is another weekend day, but Jiang Yu is not idle. He and Jia Dequan are hiding in the kitchen, each occupying a stove, each cooking vegetables.

Both of them have extraordinary cooking skills, and they both cook very quickly. In less than a while, they each prepared three dishes, and the whole kitchen was filled with the enticing aroma of food.

Yan Tongtong stood outside the kitchen door and couldn't help but sniff. Looking at the dishes placed on the countertop, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

She was temporarily "caught" by Jiang Yu to help, and she had no idea why Jia Dequan and Jiang Yu, the old and the young, hid upstairs cooking.

If they want to eat something delicious, then why are the three dishes they cooked exactly the same?

Could it be that this is a competition of cooking skills?

Well, that must be the case, otherwise, there would be no need to cook the same dish in separate dishes!

When Yan Tongtong was thinking about this, she suddenly saw Jiang Yu turning his head to look at her and asked:

"Xiaoyan, is Sister Chen here?"

Yan Tongtong suddenly came back to her senses, nodded quickly and said:

"Oh, Sister Chen is already here. There are two of us in total. I took them to the 'Spring' box."

"Okay, let's serve the food. Please help Lao Jia."

Jiang Yu gave her instructions, then turned to Jia Dequan, smiled, and asked,

"Lao Jia, what do you think the result will be?"

"You need to guess? I know the food I cook, but it doesn't have the magical effect you mentioned."

As if he already knew the result, Jia Dequan shook his head and said,

"Look carefully, she can only taste one of the dishes I cook, and she won't taste any more."

"This hasn't even started yet, how do you know?"

Jiang Yu put the prepared dishes on the food delivery truck, stretched out his hand to grab Jia Dequan, and said with a smile,

"The dishes cooked by the master chef are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Look, Xiaoyan's mouth is almost watering!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Tongtong's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and pushed the food cart and hurried forward.

"You kid!"

When Jia Dequan saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and nodded Jiang Yu, shook his head and sighed,

"You can't speak like that, so be careful you'll be a bachelor for the rest of your life!

You have to learn from me, old man, girls are very concerned about face, how can you say that to others in front of outsiders?"

Jiang Yu raised his hand and touched his nose, and said with some embarrassment:

"Well, I just said it casually, just as a joke..."

Jia Dequan kept shaking his head. This boy is hopeless, so let him be a bachelor!

After a while, Jiang Yu and Jia Dequan arrived at the "Spring" box. At this time, Yan Tongtong had already pushed the food delivery truck in.

In the box, in addition to Pan Jingchen, there was another girl who was her life assistant Liu Qian.

Jiang Yu stepped forward and helped Yan Tongtong place all six dishes on the table. The three dishes cooked by Jia Dequan and the dishes he cooked were all messed up.

Except for themselves, even Yan Tongtong couldn't tell who cooked which dish, let alone Pan Jingchen who had been waiting in the box to eat from beginning to end.

After all six dishes were placed on the table, Jiang Yu smiled and said to Pan Jingchen:

"Sister Chen, I have told you before. Today I mainly want to test whether you can eat the dishes of other chefs besides the dishes I cook.

One is to see how you are recovering?

On the other hand, I also want to verify whether you were willing to eat the food I cooked because it tasted good or because of other reasons.

This is very important to me, so thank you in advance, Sister Chen!"

Pan Jingchen listened to Jiang Yu's words calmly, then she pursed her lips and smiled, and said calmly:

"Thank you for what? You have helped me so much before, and I have never thanked you. What's more, you are also helping me now.

Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Yu said: "Actually, it's very simple. There are three dishes here, and two portions of each are made. You can just try whatever you want. The main thing is to see which three dishes you like the most."

There are three dishes on the table, one is farm-style stir-fried pork, one is sweet and sour carp, and the last one is vinegar, pepper and black fungus.

These three dishes are found in many cuisines, and they are also home-cooked dishes in the homes of people in Sanjin.

"That's okay."

Pan Jingchen picked up Kuaizi, looked up at Jiang Yu and others who had been looking at him, and said with a smile,

"You all should sit down too. Don't you want to eat together later? You all stand there and watch me eat. I'm very stressed."

"Okay, let's all sit down."

Jiang Yu smiled, turned to greet Jia Dequan and Yan Tongtong, and each found a seat and sat down.

After everyone was seated, Pan Jingchen glanced at the six dishes on the table, then stretched out his kuaizi, picked up the sweet and sour carp closest to him, put it into his mouth and tasted it slowly

Taste it.

Jiang Yu could see clearly that as soon as the fish meat entered her mouth, Pan Jingchen couldn't help but frown slightly, but soon relaxed it again.

After finishing the fish in her mouth, she didn't say anything, then reached out and took a piece of sweet and sour carp from another plate.

This time, Pan Jingchen put the fish into his mouth, chewed it carefully a few times, his eyes lit up, and before he could swallow the food in his mouth, he couldn't help but reach out and pick up another piece of fish.

She raised her head, glanced at Jiang Yu and others, and said:

"Both these two plates of sweet and sour fish taste delicious, but for some reason, I just want to eat the latter one."

She frowned and thought for a moment, then added,

"How should I put it, you have never suffered from depression, so you may not be able to understand that feeling. In fact, people with depression are surrounded by sadness and despair every day, and feel very helpless.

When I tasted this plate of sweet and sour carp, it was as if a gap had been opened in the cage surrounding me, giving me hope of escaping.

But the plate of sweet and sour carp in front of me is sweet and sour, and the taste is very delicious, but this is a stimulation to the taste buds, and I still have a little resistance in my heart.

Well, that's about it, do you understand?"

After listening to Pan Jingchen's words, Jia Dequan and Jiang Yu couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Jia Dequan couldn't help but shook his head, with a look of disbelief on his face, and said:

"Ms. Pan described it very clearly. You can't eat food cooked by others, but you can eat food cooked by Xiao Jiang. This speaks volumes.

This is not a question of whether the food tastes good or not, but what Xiaojiang cooks is not the same thing as what others cook."

"It's all the same ingredients, the same seasonings, it's just a different person cooking it. How can it become something different?"

Jiang Yu raised a hand and scratched his head. Although he had already guessed, but the facts were really put in front of him, he couldn't believe it.

"I think Sister Chen's situation may be an exception. How about we find a few more people to try?"

"It doesn't matter how many people come."

Jia Dequan glanced at Jiang Yu sideways, curled his lips and said,

"You've been running the store for so long, haven't you figured it out yet?

If nothing else, let’s just say that the soup dumplings you made can actually make the old Lu family’s precious grandson run away from home and come to work for you. Do you think this is normal? "

As he spoke, he shook his head again and mumbled,

"I am still self-aware. No matter how delicious the food I cook is, others will only praise it for how delicious it is, but they will never think of coming over to work for me."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Brother Xiao Wu is greedy for the delicious soup dumplings. He wants to have them at any time, so he comes to my shop to work. Isn't this normal?

Not only Brother Xiao Wu, but also you, Lao Jia, are like this?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong!

Of course, he would never dare to say this, otherwise Lao Jia would definitely get angry and jump up and hit himself on the head!

"Okay, Junior Brother Xiao Jiang, hurry up and eat. If you don't eat, the fish won't taste good when it gets cold."

At this moment, Pan Jingchen said hello,

"Old man, Xiaoyan, you guys should eat together too!"

"Well, let's eat together, eat together!"

Jiang Yu nodded and stopped thinking about these things. He picked up Kuaizi and put a piece of fried pork made by Kuaizi Jia Dequan into his mouth and started eating.

After just a few chews, his eyes lit up. The meat was tender, juicy, spicy and refreshing. One bite made his taste buds explode. It was definitely a "magic dish"!

Lao Jia is indeed a top chef with the title of cooking master. The dishes he cooks by himself are so delicious!

Like Jiang Yu, Jia Dequan did not eat the food he cooked. He picked up Kuaizi and picked up a piece of the sweet and sour carp made by Kuaizi Jiang Yu, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

To make this sweet and sour carp dish, you usually need to marinate the carp first to add flavor, then batter it, fry the pastry, and finally boil the sweet and sour sauce and pour it on.
