第七十章 食神的诞生？

桌上的每个人都有些震惊.楚天怎么能只咬一口就看出整个烹饪过程呢?

阿姨显然不相信.她觉得楚天胡说八道,是为了博得三叔的好感.她哼了一声,说道:"你想说什么就说什么,还以为我们什么都不知道.然后,她想让楚天代替他,就叫来一个服务员说:"年轻人,请叫厨师.食物太好吃了,我们想当面感谢他.

服务员善解人意地笑了笑,点点头,然后离开了.由于厨师的厨艺非常好,人们想当面感谢他是很常见的,所以他已经习惯了.况且,目前还不算太忙.

过了一会儿,厨师走了过来,他的肚子突出了.姨妈的脸变得像三月的春风一样温暖.她笑着说:"师父,你的厨艺真棒.你能告诉我们你是怎么做这些菜的吗?

厨师谦虚地摆摆手说:"哦,没什么.你在奉承我.

厨师正要说话,阿姨打断道:"师父,这里有个人自称对烹饪略知一二.让他先试一试,告诉我们它是如何制作的.然后你就可以判断他是不是对的.

厨师惊讶地看着阿姨,但觉得这有点有趣,所以他点头同意.阿姨对楚天说:"来吧,神童.尝试一些其他菜肴,向三叔展示你的才华.这里的厨师可以评判.

三叔微微蹙眉.他觉得欣欣的妈妈太过分了,但他也想看看楚天是不是真的懂吃,所以没有阻止她.

楚天微微一笑,拿起一块八宝竹笙,咬了一口,道:"这八宝竹笛,选用了上品野生蘑菇.将平菇,帝王平菇,鲜茶树菇等八种蘑菇切成小丁,翻炒至熟,然后塞入八种竹菌中.将它们放在一个小碗里蒸熟,带出蘑菇的香气,并将其混合到竹菌中.这就是为什么它的味道非常美味.

大家都看着大厨,等待着他的判断.没想到,这位厨师没有做出评判,而是指着一道名叫"丝雨孤云"的菜道:"小伙子,尝尝这道菜.

楚天轻轻捡起一点,仔细品尝,然后平静地说道:"将粉丝放在碗底,加入素肉丝,冬菇丝等,蒸5分钟,然后翻盘,倒上清淀粉酱.这是一道如此简单的粉丝菜肴,但它并不缺乏新鲜和芬芳.

阿姨忍不住说道:"师父,他说的错了吗?

厨师没有理会她,指着豆腐皮糯米卷,兴奋地说:"尝这个.

楚天咬了半口,在嘴里细品味,眼中浮现出一丝笑意."用素食香肠给豆腐泥调味,做成馅料.将鲜豆腐皮蘸上糯米,放上馅料,盖上盖子,炸至金黄色,然后切成块,撒上芝麻碎和花生碎,最后浇上番茄酱.咬一口,糯糯的香气盖过了所有的不安.

这一次,没有人再问厨师,因为他的表情已经表明,楚天说的一切都是对的.三叔的脸上浮现出一丝笑容.这小子楚天真是个神童.

"厨师还是不服气,说:"小伙子,如果你能告诉我怎么做这汤,我就请你吃这顿饭.厨师指了指炖的翡翠燕窝汤,这显然要困难得多.

Chu Tian scooped a spoonful, put it in his mouth, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "Chef, I'm really sorry. You'll have to spend money on this meal. The Emerald Bird's Nest Soup combines all the beauty - enhancing and nourishing cool ingredients like lotus seeds, tremella, and aloe. It's simmered over low heat for half an hour. It tastes smooth and refreshing, pleasing the heart and lungs."

The chef walked around happily and said to Aunt, "This kid is really a prodigy. He got everything right. In my years as a chef, I've never seen such a talented diner. Young man, here's my business card. Come and taste my cooking when you have time. It's all on me. It's not easy to meet a kindred spirit." Then the chef called a waiter and said, "Charge this table to my account. I'm treating." With that, he patted Chu Tian on the shoulder and went back to the kitchen.

Uncle, Aunt, and Chu Xinxin all had very难看的脸色. They had intended to embarrass Chu Tian, but instead, he stole the show.

Third Uncle kept nodding.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the entire restaurant. It was the eminent monk from Tianfa Temple. The diners around the bodhi tree gradually quieted down, and some even put down their chopsticks. Delicious food could be ordered again, but the sermon by the eminent monk from Tianfa Temple was a rare opportunity.

Master Kongjian? Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled.

Master Kongjian obviously didn't notice Chu Tian on the side. His face was solemn, with a hint of mystery. This expression made the diners in the restaurant feel respectful and in awe, not daring to be disrespectful. Master Kongjian walked to his own meditation mat, sat down with his two disciples, and a faint smile appeared on his face, making everyone feel flattered. The place became completely quiet.

The owner of Bodhi - edge Restaurant stood up first and said to everyone, "Today, Bodhi - edge Restaurant is honored to invite Master Kongjian from Tianfa Temple to give a sermon on Zen. All those who are fated can listen attentively and also ask Master Kongjian for advice. Thank you, Master, and thank you all."

Master Kongjian smiled again, and then slowly began to speak: "Zen is a realm of unrestrained body and mind, a home for the unconstrained soul. Zen tells people that Buddha is within oneself. This very mind is Buddha. If one can recognize one's own mind, everyone can become a Buddha." Master Kongjian's words were a bit abstruse, but everyone couldn't help but nod, for fear of showing their ignorance and being laughed at. Chu Tian noticed that even Third Uncle was listening intently.

Master Kongjian continued, "Next, I'll tell a story. Some of you may have heard it, and some may not. But in any case, the encounter itself is a kind of fate. If you savor it carefully, you'll always have a different feeling."

Master Kongjian smiled and said, "The story I'm going to tell is - - - A Blind Man Lighting a Lantern."

On a pitch - black night, a Buddhist pilgrim on a long journey to seek Buddha came to a desolate village. On the dark street, the pilgrim saw a blind man carrying a lantern. He found it ridiculous. Puzzled, the pilgrim asked, "Since you can't see anything, why are you carrying a lantern?"

The blind man said, "It's night now. I've heard that in the dark, without the light of a lamp, everyone in the world is as blind as I am. So, I lit a lantern."

The pilgrim seemed to understand and said, "So, you lit it to light the way for others?"

But the blind man said, "No, I did it for myself." "For yourself?" The pilgrim was stunned again.

The blind man, after hearing this, said earnestly, "Although I'm blind and can't see anything, by carrying this lantern, I not only light the way for others but also let others see me. This way, they won't bump into me because they can't see."

The Buddhist pilgrim listened and suddenly had an epiphany. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "I've been traveling all over the world to seek Buddha, but I didn't expect that Buddha is right by my side. It turns out that the Buddha - nature is like a lamp. As long as I light it, even if I can't see Buddha, Buddha can see me."

After Master Kongjian finished, he sighed and said, "Many people complain that they go out of their way to help others but get no benefits for themselves. But this can't be an excuse. Just imagine, if everyone goes out of their way to help others, how can it be said that it has no benefit for you? Treating others wholeheartedly is treating yourself well. Let's light the lamp of our own lives for others. Only in this way can we find our own peace and happiness in the darkness of life."

Master Kongjian's story touched the hearts of everyone, leaving many people deeply moved. It's true that helping others is helping oneself. Although they had known this truth before, being reminded by Master Kongjian like this still made them feel a shock. Chu Tian glanced at Chu Xinxin's family, thinking, I wonder if they can understand something from this? Will they be a bit kinder to me in the future?

At this moment, a stiff Chinese voice came, "Master, your Buddhist teachings are indeed profound. May I ask, which is greater, 'one' or 'two'?"
