Chapter 329 The Master of Bamboo Carving

“A’Jing, your Knife Techniques was praised by Bamboo Master Carver.” Zhao Mengxiang smiled as he walked into the kitchen after serving the dishes.

“Bamboo Master Carver?” Su Jing asked.

“It was the elegant old man who ate the Jade Palace Hidden Dragon you made and spoke highly of your Knife skill. It is said that he used to be a carpenter, but now he is a Bamboo Master Carver.” Zhao Mengxiang said.

“Cooking and bamboo carving are two different things, how can you mix them up?” Su Zhenhong laughs.

“Wait, Sister-In-Law, you said he used to be a carpenter? In other words, he could repair wooden chairs and the like?” Su Jing suddenly remembered something and asked.

“That is of course. If you have any damaged antique woodcarvings, you can ask him to repair it.” Zhao Mengxiang said.

“I’ll meet him,” Su Jing said, and walked out of the kitchen, making Zhao Mengxiang, Su Zhenhong, Liu Shu all baffled. As soon as Su Jing went out, many customers gave thumbs up to praise him, although Su Jing’s dishes are twice as expensive, they are definitely worth the money.

Su Jing walked straight to the elegant old man, and smiled, “Hello Old Mister, I’m Su Jing.”

“Hello, my last name is Tao. Your dishes are very good.” The old gentleman praised with a thumbs up, but he was a little puzzled and didn’t know why Su Jing came here to talk to him. The freckled girl next to him and a tall young man were also curious, thinking what this Young God of Cooking want from their teacher?

“Hello Old Tao, I heard that you were used to be a carpenter and now you are a Bamboo Master Carver. I have a few dilapidated chairs, sofas and antiques. I don’t know if I can ask you to help me fix them.” Su Jing said, he was already planning to find someone to mend those Hainan Yellow Sandalwood chair sofas, since this Old Tao can repair even wood carving antiques. It shouldn’t be hard for him to fix the chair sofa.

“Sorry, I’m not free.” Old Tao waved his hand and replied while smiling.

“Can’t you take the time to help me out? I’ll pay whatever you ask,” Su Jing said.

“This is not a question of money. I have recently participated in a bamboo carving appreciation party and am specializing in new bamboo carving works. I am already quite old and I don’t know how long I can live and I don’t want to waste my time on repairing chairs and sofas. If I charge you a high price, you feel bad, and it would not be cost-effective for you, you might as well ask some professional carpenters to repair it.” Old Tao said.

The freckled girls and tall young man on the side thought that this Young God of Cooking was really something. Their teacher’s time is precious. How can he repair the broken chair sofa? Their teacher is now the Bamboo Master Carver, and he is not a little carpenter.

“Okay. I apologize for bothering you, and I hope you can have better bamboo sculptures.” Su Jing had some regrets in his heart but he didn’t force them, Old Tao was right. Old Tao has something he needs to do in this world. Since he has no time, let’s find someone else.

“Young God of Cooking, go and cook right now.”

“Yeah, we also ordered Duck Holding Bamboo.”

The freckled girl and the tall young man said. After eating the Jade Palace Hidden Dragon, they can’t wait anymore.

“Wait a moment.” Su Jing smiled and returned to the kitchen and continued to cook the third course.

After a while, the dish of Duck Holding Bamboo came out and was brought out by Zhao Mengxiang. This dish also sells very well. The bamboo tube is broken and cut into pieces and spread out in all directions to form a “bamboo plate”. The bamboo filaments on both sides are longer and slightly rolled up like two mandarin ducks opposite to each other. With the pork tenderloin, chicken breast, various condiments, the color and shape are perfect.

“This dish looks so beautiful, it’s almost like art.”

“Yeah, I’m a bit reluctant to eat it.”

“Don’t eat it if you can’t bear it. Give it to me.”

“What the hell are you talking about, I was just talking.”

The customers were impressed by the sales of this Duck Holding Bamboo, but they couldn’t resist the rich aroma. After the dishes were served, they couldn’t wait to take a bite, and then they couldn’t stop and gorged it. They finally knew that the beautiful bamboo shreds were so finely cut and they were not flashy but that the bamboo incense was completely exuded and penetrated into the dish, forming a unique and attractive fragrance.

“It’s so delicious!”

“This bamboo is so fragrant, I can’t help but want to eat it too.”

“What kind of bamboo is this? I have never heard of any bamboo that is so fragrant.”

“The Knife skill for cutting bamboo shreds is also extremely good. How can it be cut so finely?”

“This dish is full of color, flavor, and form, and it is perfect.” The middle-aged man was completely shocked. The so-called color, flavor, and form meant that the color refers to the color of the food; the aroma refers to the flavor of the food; the flavor refers to the taste of food;

In fact, the shape is slowly separated from the color and it mainly focuses on the shape and decoration of the dish; the meaning is sublimated from the color and shape, and it is also more particular about it in the Chinese people, it is like when drinking tea, one had to pay attention to a mood and atmosphere. Similarly, food must also reflect cultural connotations. If the name of the dish can be matched with the shape of the material and the finished product, it will be better. Nutrition refers to the nutritional content, and the so-called medicinal supplement is not as good as the food supplement. The reason is that what people pay attention to is whether the food fully reflects the nutrition and to have a reasonable mix of vegetarian food.

Masters in the culinary arts are pursuing all kinds of flavors, because only by doing so can they be regarded as the best dishes. However, few people can achieve the color, fragrance, shape, and image to get more than 90 points out of 100 in it, but this Duck Holding Bamboo has the color, fragrance, shape, and image of culture and it is closer to getting the full score.

“Third Uncle, I rarely compliment people, but this Qingyun Town Young God of Cooking, I really appreciate him from the bottom of my heart. I think we must invite him to be a chef at our Wang Family restaurant.” The thin young man was excited and said something while eating so his words were a little unclear.

The audience was full of praise and the people on Old Tao’s table were no exception, but after taking a few bites, Old Tao was attracted to the bamboo. As the Bamboo Master Carver, Old Tao would try to use a variety of Bamboo to finish different works. Naturally, he came into contact with a variety of Bamboo and knew almost all the famous Bamboo in the world.

However, he has never touched or heard of bamboo with such a faint fragrant fragrance. He took a bamboo down and observed it for a moment, he scratched it with his hands and suddenly showed a hint of surprise and then chopped it hard.

This bamboo is very hard and very tough, the bamboo looked so thin but he couldn’t even break it using his strength. If he looks closely, he can see that the bamboo is so delicate and smooth that it almost looks like jade. He has never seen or heard of bamboo made of such good material.

Old Tao suddenly picked up the entire “bamboo plate” and poured the dishes inside. The freckled girl and the tall youth were puzzled and the tall youth asked, “Teacher, what’s wrong, don’t you like this dish?”

“No, you eat, I will look at this bamboo.” Old Tao said.

“Oh-oh.” The tall young man and freckle girl were also curious about the bamboo, but they couldn’t resist the temptation of good food so they continued to eat while looking at Old Tao.

The upper part of the bamboo tube is all cut into silk and spread out in all directions to form a bamboo plate. The bottom is still a complete bamboo knot. Old Tao took out a delicate knife and carved it in the bamboo-section at the bottom. After making a few engravings, his face showed excitement, and he breathed quickly with excitement.
