"Boss Chen, this is wrong. I'm an old customer, why can you mock me like this? This dish is so different from what I ate in the morning. Did you find someone to make it for?" The fat Chinese man said to Chen Tian angrily.

Chen Tian, ​​who was originally full of anticipation and confidence, suddenly became confused when he heard these words. This dish was much worse than what Ye Chui made on the opposite side. Her body shivered subconsciously, and then said angrily: "You... what do you mean? What is the dish not delicious?"

The fat Chinese man also understood that what he said seemed to be a bit too much, so he calmed down and continued: "The tofu I ate at the Chen family hotel opposite this morning was not like this. It felt much better than this. Chen Jiao told me that it was your newly developed method, and what seasoning did he put in... Oh, by the way, it was pepper. The whole dish had a bit of numbness and spicy taste, but it tasted particularly delicious. In addition to numbness, the garlic sprouts inside were also a major feature. They looked like raw, but they were fried in their mouths. It was really amazing... Why, wasn't that dish you made?"

Chen Tian shook his head with a pale face: "No..."

"This is strange. The whole Chinatown is better tofu than you do. Is there anyone else?" The fat Chinese man continued to ask with a strange look on his face.

Chen Tian didn't say anything, but her face seemed to be even more ugly. She has always been the number one person in Chinatown to make tofu. Now Ye Chuilai is there, and some people say that he is even more delicious than the tofu he made himself?

This made Chen Tian feel that his authority was violated!

She immediately rushed to the opposite side with anger.

The fat Chinese man seemed to realize something, so he quickly put down the spoon in his hand and followed him out.

Angel followed closely behind.

When the three of them came to the Chen Family Hotel opposite, because it was evening, there were already many people in the small hall. In addition to Chen Family Tofu (Mapo Tofu), the food they ate was even some dishes sold in the Chen Family Hotel. Ye Chui cooked here to replace the Chen Family Hotel opposite, so if there were customers ordering other dishes, Ye Chui naturally had to cook them. Ye Chui naturally had no difficulty with those dishes in the Chen Family Hotel.

When Chen Tian walked into the hotel, several customers were complimenting the hotel waiter with joy—

"This dish is really good, it's even better than what I've eaten before. Tell your boss that his sister's dish has become more and more delicious recently."

"I have eaten this dish of Chen's tofu many times before, and it is very familiar to me. But this is the first time I have eaten this dish today. The newly added condiment called peppercorns is very strange when I first started. But after getting familiar with it, I can't stop. This peppercorns are so magical."

"Okay, that's great."

Most of these people are Chinese, but some are native Americans.

Listening to these conversations, the expression on Chen Tian’s face became even worse. She shouted: “Chen Jiao, get out of here!”

"Here you come." The voice of the tofu Xishi was indescribable. Chen Jiao hurried out from the back of the hotel. When he saw Chen Tian, ​​he paused slightly. Then he came forward with a shy smile, "Sister, why are you here? Isn't the business of this hotel order busy? Come and please sit down."

As he said this, Chen Jiao opened a chair next to Chen Tian.

As a result, Chen Tian kicked the chair away with one foot: "Don't give me this set, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Why can't I understand what you say?" Chen Jiao said with a look of confusion.

"Stop pretending, let Ye Chui make another plate of tofu for me to taste!" Chen Tian seemed to have calmed down. She sat down on a stool next to her and said with anger, "I've bullied me. I want to see how delicious his tofu is!"

"Sister, don't do this..." Chen Jiao tried to persuade his sister.

But Chen Tian glared at the eyes, and Chen Jiao swallowed all the words he said: "Okay, okay, sister, don't regret it, the tofu made by Master Ye Chui is really nothing to say."

After saying this a few words, when Chen Tian's face became more and more gloomy, Chen Jiao hurriedly ran to the back of the hotel. The fat Chinese man had already found a seat to sit down at this time, and hurriedly shouted from behind: "Don't forget that I have another one."

Ye Chui already knew about Chen Tian's killing at the hotel. Han Yuyan was outside the hotel lobby and saw clearly what had just happened. Without waiting for Chen Jiao to find Ye Chui, she ran to the kitchen to report to Ye Chui what had just happened. Ye Chui was cooking in the kitchen, and Li Xiuyun and Tang Shanshan who had arrived this afternoon were helping to help. When he heard Han Yuyan's report, Ye Chui laughed: "Here you come so soon? That's just right."

Chen Jiao hurried in: "Two portions of Mapo tofu, Master Ye Chui, I think my sister is really angry this time. I want to taste what your Mapo tofu tastes. You can make it quickly."

"Wait for a while, the two portions of Mapo tofu will be prepared soon." Ye Chui said with a smile.

After a while, two steaming plates of Mapo tofu were freshly released. Ye Chui personally walked out of the kitchen with two plates of Mapo tofu tofu to the lobby of the hotel.

Chen Tian was sitting on the stool and sulking. He saw Ye Chui coming in and snorted coldly. As for the fat Chinese man sitting on one side, his eyes were very sharp. He laughed and stood up and helped Ye Chui take a plate of Mapo tofu in front of him. He couldn't wait to enjoy it. Ye Chui put the other side in front of Chen Tian: "Master Chen, please try this dish, how about your Chen family tofu."

"It has been a long time since I met someone who challenged me tofu in Chinatown!" Chen Tian said with a cold look on his face.

"You are wrong. The one I made is not Chen's tofu, it is called Mapo tofu." Ye Chui corrected with a smile, "This dish originated from your Chen family. The original name was Mapo tofu. The name Chen's tofu was the name that your family used after coming to Chinatown. As for why the name was changed, I think I can guess some reasons."

“What’s the reason?”

"You will know after eating this dish."

Ye Chui continued to smile and said, picking up the vegetable spoon and handing it to Chen Tian in person.

Chen Tian snorted again, picked up the vegetable spoon, scooped up a spoonful of tofu with an impatient look, and looked at it carefully. She was very angry now, but in addition to being angry, there was also some nervousness. The Chen family tofu dish is her specialty dish. In this dish, I am afraid that no one in the world can compare with the efforts she has put in. She doesn't believe that anyone can beat her in this dish. She has encountered someone who came to challenge her before, but no one can make such delicious Mapo tofu. But today is different. The previous evaluation of the fat Chinese man and the conversations of everyone in the lobby of this hotel have told her a lot of things. The dish made by Ye Chui may... really be better than herself?

With this nervousness, Chen Tian put a spoonful of tofu into his mouth.

Spicy, soup, fragrant, tender, fresh...

As an expert in this dish, Chen Tian first tasted these flavors. These flavors stimulated her mouth and were most familiar. However, from these flavors, this dish is no worse than her. However, this feeling of enjoyment just appeared, and another flavor appeared out of control.

numb.

The tongue is very sensitive to this taste. The numb feeling quickly rushed out of the siege surrounded by several other flavors, landed on her taste nerves, and occupied the main position in an instant.

Chen Tian ate this dish with a picky feeling, so when this strange taste appeared, she immediately spit out what she was in her mouth and judged how unqualified the dish Ye Chui was. But suddenly, she was stunned again after being caught off guard.

“This taste…”

Her eyes suddenly widened.

A long time ago, my father had not passed away at that time. For the chef's signature at home, he had to practice making the Chen family tofu every day, and he had to give it to Chen Tian for every time after making it.

At that time, Chen Tian was only eight years old. He couldn't say hesitate to the dish made by his father, but he would never like it, especially a certain taste that made her feel very painful every time she ate it.

With the repeated trials, she felt extremely disgusted with the taste.

But suddenly, her father died of illness and no one was more ill than that. Although he was not very skilled, he was still very persistent in making the tofu dish. So she suddenly began to miss that taste.

Especially the taste that makes her hate in the dish.

Gradually, she began to feel that the taste was not annoying. The strange taste was actually so refreshing, but she could never taste that taste again.

She tried hard to recall some of the cooking tips her father taught her. She made this dish again and again. She made this dish into a representative dish in Chinatown. She called this dish one of the most famous dishes, but... the taste in her memory never appeared again.

Her father's skills are not as good as hers, and even worse than her. The Chen family tofu dish never shines with this kind of brilliance in his hands. However, what she remembers most was the taste of the dishes she cooked in her father's hands, the strange taste that once disliked the memories now.

What exactly does that taste mean?

After eating Mapo tofu with the hanging leaves, she suddenly remembered it.

That's the taste.

It's this kind of numb feeling.

It's very annoying, but it has a strange feeling of pleasure. Combined with the taste of spicy, it seems to greatly arouse the secretion of adrenaline and feel the value and beauty of food.

"Sipper..." She thought of what the fat Chinese man said and murmured, "It turns out that the taste of my memory is pepper." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
