In this dish, the carp skin is crispy and the fish meat is tender and tasty. Coupled with the sweet and sour sauce, it is not only sweet and sour to appetize, but also goes very well with rice.

Jia Dequan has never tasted a dish made by Jiang Yu that was not delicious, and the same goes for this sweet and sour carp. The sweet and sour taste, coupled with the tender and delicious fish meat, reminded him of his wife.

.

Although decades have passed, he still remembers clearly that his wife was very beautiful when she was young, just like Yan Tongtong, youthful, beautiful, lively and cute.

Her favorite thing is to eat the candied haws of sugar-coated haws that he secretly brought to her.

The hawthorn balls wrapped in crystal clear sugar coating are strung one by one on long bamboo sticks. They are red, shiny and sparkling with an attractive luster.

She was always reluctant to part with just a bunch of candied haws, and had to share it with each other, so she took a bite, and Lao Jia took a bite too, and then the two of them looked at each other and giggled.

This bite of candied haws, sweet yet sour, sour yet sweet, very much like those days when he was young, and very much like the love between him and her.

It's a pity that they promised to grow old together, but she passed away before his hair turned gray.

As he thought about it, Jia Dequan's eyes, full of vicissitudes of life, suddenly became blurry, as if covered with a layer of fog.

He woke up with a start, quickly took out a tissue and wiped his eyes, and began to eat sweet and sour carp over and over again.

He couldn't bear to forget this taste!

Jiang Yu, who was sitting on the side, could see this scene clearly. He couldn't help being surprised. How could this old Jia shed tears while eating?

Judging from the emotion on his face, he didn't know what he was remembering.

He originally wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

If others shed tears, it must not be a happy thing, so why should I mention other people’s sad things?

Shaking his head, Jiang Yu stopped caring about Lao Jia's affairs and continued to eat in silence.

Not to mention, the dishes prepared by the master chef were indeed very delicious. Jiang Yu could not stop eating them.

Yan Tongtong and Pan Jingchen's assistant Liu Qian were much simpler. They didn't care who cooked the dishes. Anyway, every dish on the table was countless times more delicious than what they had eaten before.

Then why should you care who made it? Just close your eyes and eat whatever you want!

Anyway, every bite of the dish is extremely delicious and a carnival for the taste buds!

Everyone enjoyed this meal with great enjoyment. Five people and six plates of food were all eaten cleanly, leaving only a mess on the table.

After sending Pan Jingchen and her life assistant Liu Qian away, Jia Dequan turned to look at Jiang Yu and said with emotion:

"Xiao Jiang, I finally know why I like eating your food so much."

Jiang Yu turned his head and asked curiously: "Why?"

"The food you cook seems to be able to release different emotional values ​​​​according to different people's life experiences. It is like a master key that can open locks of different specifications."

Jia Dequan thought for a moment and expressed his understanding as clearly as possible. He glanced at Jiang Yu, who looked confused, shook his head and said,

"Then let me put it another way. Do you know what I was thinking when I tasted your sweet and sour carp?"

Jiang Yu asked subconsciously: "What are you thinking about?"

He only saw Jia Dequan wiping away tears. As for what he was thinking, how could Jiang Yu know?

He is not a roundworm in Lao Jia's belly.

"The most unique taste of sweet and sour carp is sweet and sour, and the candied haws squid that my wife loved to eat when she was young also has a sweet and sour taste."

Jia Dequan's eyes were full of nostalgia. He described to Jiang Yu the memories that he had been reminded of by the sweet and sour carp dish. He sighed again and said to Jiang Yu,

"These memories are the most missed and sweetest moments in my life.

If I take one bite of sweet and sour carp, it will play out in my mind like a slideshow. If I take another bite, it will play again...

How can I let it stop?"

"..."

After hearing what Jia Dequan said, Jiang Yu was shocked. He really didn't expect that the dishes he cooked could have such "effects"!

Is this the special function of the recipes provided by the food system?

However, what Lao Jia said was completely different from what Pan Jingchen said before!

Before he could ask the question, Jia Dequan seemed to know his thoughts in advance and said again:

"Miss Pan's situation was different before. When she ate the food you cooked, it was as if she saw hope in the midst of being helpless.

This is why I say that the dishes you cook seem to be able to release corresponding emotional value according to different situations of different people.

Can you understand it now?"

"Uh, I almost understand."

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said,

"What you mean is that you miss the days when you were young and with your wife, so it amplifies your emotions.

As for Sister Chen, she feels surrounded by negative emotions such as sadness and despair. In fact, she hopes to escape from this predicament, so in response to Sister Chen's situation, it gives her hope.

Is that what you mean?”

"Yes, that's what it means."

Jia Dequan turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yu, his eyes showing surprise, and then he said with approval,

"Don't tell me, you expressed it much more appropriately than I did, and it's also easier to understand. You really deserve to be a graduate student soon."

"By the way, Lao Jia, have you seen this situation before?"

At this moment, Jiang Yu was full of doubts. He didn't pay attention to Jia Dequan's teasing and turned around and asked,

"A dish is so delicious that it can even arouse other people's emotions. Have you ever seen such a thing?"

"I've seen it before."

Jia Dequan nodded and said with a smile,

"I ate it just now. Isn't this the food you cooked?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

"Before you, I have never seen anyone or any chef cook dishes that can have such an effect."

Seeing Jiang Yu's speechless look, Jia Dequan laughed loudly and then said,

"However, I have heard of it."

Jiang Yu, who was still a little disappointed at first, was overjoyed and asked quickly:

"Come on, tell me, what's going on?"

"It's too outrageous for us to just stand at the entrance of the cafeteria and talk, isn't it?"

The little old man Jia Dequan was showing off at this time. He glanced at Jiang Yu and said with a smile,

"Besides, the story is so long, I feel thirsty even as I talk about it!"

Jiang Yu: "..."

This little old man is actually putting on airs at this moment...

But now he was eager to know about this aspect, and he also wanted to know who else besides him could cook dishes that had similar magical effects?

Will that person also have a gourmet system like him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu also cared about it like Jia Dequan, turned around and walked to the box on the first floor, saying as he walked,

"Let's go, Lao Jia, I'll make you tea. Let's sit down in the box and talk slowly!"

"If you had said this earlier, wouldn't it be enough?"

Jia Dequan chuckled, turned around, and swayed toward the box with his hands behind his back.

Because there was something on his mind, Jiang Yu moved very quickly. In a short time, he made tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Jia Dequan. By the way, he also made himself a cup.

After both of them sat down on the sofa, Jiang Yu said:

"Can we talk now?"

"Haha, actually I'm not the only one who has heard of this, most people should know about it, right?"

Jia Dequan picked up the teacup and blew on the tea leaves floating on it, carefully took a sip, smacked his lips, and then said with a smile,

"For example, a person could often eat rice crackers from a wood-fired stove when he was a child. After many years, he suddenly tasted the taste of rice crackers from a wood-fired stove one day. It brought back memories of his childhood. This is not a normal thing.

?"

After a pause, he said again,

"Just like what you told me before, why does Miss Pan like to eat tomatoes, oatmeal, fish, and fish?

Because the tomato oatmeal and fish fish you made is not only delicious, but also because when she was little, her grandmother would often make this pasta for her.

She hasn’t eaten it in so many years since she came out, and if she suddenly eats this pasta you made, it would be really weird if it doesn’t remind her of her longing for her grandma.”

After being reminded by Jia Dequan, Jiang Yu suddenly came to his senses. He had indeed heard of such a thing, and he had heard of it more than once.

The last time he watched the news, he saw a news story about a man who bought a roasted sweet potato from a roadside stall and burst into tears while eating it.
