Chapter 439

"The old man is right, but I don't know what kind of state he is in now." Duan Hong heard from his words that the first step for Taiji practitioners is to practice the form, which is simply the action. The second step is the meaning, which is the experience from the action. This is more difficult. The third book is the battle.

"The old man said:" shame, the old man contact late, so still care about this stage

Having said so much, Duan Hong still didn't know what kind of Taiji he was practicing. He asked again, "I'm very bold. I really want to know what kind of Taiji the old man is practicing. Can you tell me?"

The old man said: "it doesn't matter if you say it. This set of boxing was exchanged with an old friend. He called it" Hunyuan Taijiquan! "

Hunyuan Taijiquan?

Duan Hong has never heard of this name.

The old man said, "if you treat me to a bun, maybe I can tell you more."

"Ha ha, the old man is joking. The reason why a bun can change a set of fists is worth it."

They walked to the last bun shop. The woman boss saw the old man from a long distance and said, "Yi Lao! Why are you late today? The first buns are sold out. Please wait for a while

The old man said, "don't worry. Today are two people. The young man invited me to eat two buns and two bowls of wonton."

"Yes, ten minutes. Just a moment." The female boss arranged them on a slightly quiet and clean table, and then she went.

"Old man, your name is Yi?"

The old man nodded and said, "yes, they all call me that. Young man, what's your name? You don't sound like a native of the sea. "

Duan Hong said with a smile, "Duan Hong is a native of Haizhong. He was wandering outside when he was young. He hasn't been home for many years. When he comes back, he can't speak Haizhong dialect well. He can understand it."

"I see, young man. What do you do?" Old Yi took a pot of tea from the boss and asked casually.

Duan Hong did not hide his words: "I have done everything. Now I am a chef in a big hotel, that is, the Manchu and Chinese restaurant where the new decoration has not yet started. I am going to take part in the kitchen god competition in two days."

"Oh?" Yi Lao's eyes brightened and he said excitedly, "can you take part in the kitchen god competition?"

"Yes."

Yi's face darkened and sighed: "if you are so young, you can take part in the kitchen god competition. If it's not for your outstanding skills, the kitchen god competition will decline. However, the competition in the past two years is very fierce. I think it's not declining. It seems that young man, you should be outstanding!"

Duan Hong said with a shy smile, "it's nothing. I've just learned a little bit. I'd better talk about Hunyuan Taijiquan first."

"It's no big deal, old man. I'm over 50 years old. I know an old friend who likes my cooking. We two reached an agreement. I'll cook for him three years for free. He taught me this set of Hunyuan Taijiquan. Now it's more than ten years. I don't know if the old man is dead now."

When I was young, I always like to recall the past. Duan Hong has a deep understanding that when I was in kuchan temple, the three masters always talked about the past when I was drinking.

At the beginning, I listened with relish. If I listened too much, I was tired of it.

Yi continued: "according to my old friend, he learned from the two masters of Yang's and Hu's and created them through his own experience. I don't know whether they are true or not. He can practice this set of fists much better than me."

"Oh, why is it called adding Hunyuan?" Duan Hongqi asked.

Yi Laodao said: "Hun is the meaning of all things, yuan is the initial meaning, and the combination of Hun and Yuan is the initial meaning of all things, the beginning of meaning. I think it's arrogant of this old friend to call his Tai Chi as the beginning. "

The lady of the baozi shop presented two cages of steamed buns and two bowls of wonton, which were sprinkled with shredded chicken and coriander. Duan Hong felt that his appetite was very good, so he picked up chopsticks and ate them with Yi Lao.

After a bite of steamed stuffed bun, Duan Hong had a good time.

Yi took a bite, tasted it carefully, and asked, "young man, what do you think of this steamed bun?"

Duan Hong took a sip of the soup and said, "yes, it's really good to make such delicious food in this kind of store. It's almost the same as last time. It seems that some seasonings have been added in this time. Maybe the meat quality is not very fresh. He wants to add the seasoning to suppress the meat taste. Unfortunately, he ignores the flavor of seasoning. Sometimes it's more disgusting than the rancid meat. Fortunately, he realized his mistake and added some meat stuffing to it to dispel the flavor of seasoning

Yi Lao nodded with some satisfaction and said: "yes, young people are not simple. They can eat out their shortcomings simply. What kind of steamed stuffed bun do you think is the best?"

Duan Hong swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth and said, "there are many steamed buns in China. In the south, there are Guangzhou barbecued pork buns, Shanghai Guantang buns, in the north, there are Tianjin Goubuli, roasted steamed buns, xiaolongbao, Yipin steamed buns, etc. all of them have their own characteristics. But if we want to say good steamed buns, I think it's the best way to look at people's practice

Yi Lao slightly moved, said: "what kind of practice do you think is good?"

Duan Hong had finished eating a drawer of steamed stuffed buns while he was talking. When he practiced this morning, his stomach was empty. His eyes were fixed on Yi Lao's share and he said, "the most natural and fresh way is the best." Yi Lao chuckled and pushed his drawer to him and said, "can you be more careful? Or take an example. " Duan Hong said with a smile: "take this kind of steamed buns as an example. There are several points to pay attention to. One is steamer, the other is noodles, the third is meat stuffing, and the fourth is heat. The steamer should be clean and full of five flavors, and not let his flavor infect the steamed stuffed buns. As for the noodles, the first-class flour should be instant, and the dough should not wake up too early or too late. It's the best to wake up at the beginning. The meat stuffing is the most exquisite, and it must be fresh. The flavor of the meat itself can't be reached by any condiment. MSG can be put, but I don't put it. If you put too much meat, it will be gone. As for the fire, it's usually very simple when it takes more than ten minutes for the meat to harden and not ripe. There are some difficulties in doing well. " Yi Lao nodded happily and sighed to himself: "there are successors in the culinary industry." Duan Hong ate seven or eight steamed buns in one breath. Seeing that Yi Lao's share was almost eaten up, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Yi Lao, why don't you eat it? By the way, Madame, two cages are coming. " Yi Lao nodded happily and said: "young is good, can eat, old eat less, when I was young, I ate 50 small caged buns at most." Duan Hong with a smile, thought: "fifty a lot? My younger martial brother Wure can eat 60 at most. If I make them, I'm afraid he can eat them for a day! " "Young man, I'm also very concerned about the kitchen god competition," said Yi Duan Hong thought to himself, "now there are colorful newspapers all over the city. It's strange not to pay attention to them."“ I hope to see you in the kitchen god competition. Haizhong is the center of cooking development in China. Although his economy is a little underdeveloped, how about eating? I'm afraid no one can eat better than Haizhong. " "Don't let me down, young man," said Yi Duan Hongdao said: "I'm talking about it. It's not certain whether I will take part in it or not. I don't like this kind of thing very much."
