Back to the Basics of Cooking

"Huh, who said I'm old!"

Old Wu smiled and cursed, but he didn't argue, and cleared out the dishes on the three plates together with Hu Xiaomeng.

"Burp!"

Hu Xiaomeng burped cutely and seemed to realize that she was very unlady-like, so she quickly covered her little mouth, her face flushed with shame.

Turning her head, and seeing Li Yun looking at her with a smile, Foxy Xiaomeng frowned, "B-Big brother, don't laugh at Xiaomeng~, big brother, why was your cooking so delicious?"

Zhou Chunyong was hit hard and murmured, "How is it possible, how is it possible that... my antelope hanging horn actually lost to the stir-fried lamb?"

The crowd around the audience also widened their eyes, wondering if they were partial to Li Yun. The three daily dishes they often cooked actually lost to the carefully cooked antelope hanging horns?

"Try it for yourself."

Li Yun put the newly fried dishes in front of Zhou Chunyong and then asked the boss and his wife to try them.

Zhou Chunyong's face sank. Is this kid afraid that he won't admit it if he loses?

"Hmph, then I'll come and taste it!"

Picking up the chopsticks, grabbing a piece of mutton, and putting it in his mouth, his movements are clean and tidy, it was better to say that he couldn't wait.

He eagerly wanted to know what secrets these dishes had that would make Old Hu fall in love with them!

As soon as the mutton was eaten, Zhou Chunyong was stunned.

What kind of taste is this?

Delicious? Sweet? Spicy?

No, neither of them.

It should be said, to return to the basics!

Yes, just returning to the basics!

Zhou Chunyong's face changed drastically, he reached out his shaking chopsticks and tasted the pork fried celery, and finally understood the mystery of Li Yun's dish.

'The unpretentious cooking method perfectly brings out the essential taste of meat and vegetables. It isn't a top delicacy, but it can greatly increase the appetite, and it can be used with rice...

Yes, with rice, this dish makes the food return to its essence, not just simply satisfying the appetite, but to make the body feel full and satisfy the body's needs!'

After drawing a conclusion in his mind, Zhou Chunyong sighed deeply, and said to Li Yun with emotion and admiration, "I am deeply impressed by your culinary skills, I am convinced that I have lost!"

Everyone was shocked. What do these three daily dishes have to actually make the unconvinced King of Food voluntarily surrender!

Mr. Hu smiled and said, "Old Zhou, why are these three dishes good? According to my judgment, it was clear that your dishes are more delicious, but for some reason, these three dishes work well together, and I couldn't help but eat so much!"

"Yes, Xiaomeng thinks the same as Grandpa!"

Zhou Chunyong's face showed an awkward expression, "Old Hu, I should apologize to you!"

"Oh?"

"I have always made all kinds of things that stimulate the taste buds and satisfy the cravings in order to show off my skills, but I have overlooked one thing."

Zhou Chunyong gave a deep bow to Li Yun, "Your Excellency, Li Yun taught me that the role of food is not only to satisfy the taste buds but more importantly, to fill the stomach!"

"Isn't it the same?" Xiaomeng asked.

"No, it isn't."

Zhou Chunyong pointed to the antelope hanging horns that he had made, and said, "Although the dishes I made were delicious, people will soon get tired of them after a while and won't have the appetite to continue on. They will be satisfied, but still hungry."
