Chapter 137: Blatant Poisoning (Subscription Requested)
After about an hour, Wang Billy, who was carrying a sack full of ingredients, returned to the view of heaven and earth.
Although he couldn't see what was in the sack, looking at Wang Billy's satisfied expression, he thought that he should have found his ideal ingredients.
Humming a little song that no one could understand, Billy Wang closed the kitchen door and buried himself in preparing the Daomen Zhai meal that had been drafted in his heart.
Nowadays, some famous Taoist scenic spots, Daomen Zhai rice has become a major feature.
Not to mention the color and fragrance of the rice, it also uses many Taoist elements such as "Tai Chi" and "Yin Yang Fish", which is indeed worth tasting for tourists in terms of appearance.
In order to cater to the taste of tourists, there are many vegetarian meat dishes in the meal, such as Dongpo meat and abalone made with gluten, sesame seeds, and corn flour, beef jerky and crispy pork made with bracken and noodles.
These vegetarian dishes are not only very similar to real meat dishes in form and color, but also have little difference in texture and taste.
In some places, Daomen Zhai rice is even subdivided into cold dishes, hot dishes, dim sum, and soups, which can be described as varied.
As part of brand marketing, these Daomen Zhai meals have undoubtedly played a certain role in attracting tourists, but aside from those deliberate gimmicks, how many Daomen connotations are really in them?
To apply the form of a Taiji diagram, or to pose as a gossip, even if it is set with Taoist philosophy and thought?
Obviously, this is only the most superficial and empty application of cultural connotations.
As for the "meat dishes" that cater to tourists, it is actually a little inexplicable when you think about it.
Tourists come to the Taoist temple to experience the culture and atmosphere of Taoism, but the vegetarian food they taste takes a lot of effort to imitate the taste of the big fish and meat that they can eat almost every day?
What is the point of this?
Could it be that in order to make tourists sigh, it turns out that vegetarian food can actually make the taste of meat dishes?
Or after eating, the monks who secretly discussed a few words and kept saying that they were vegetarians, but they didn't want to open meat in a different way?
The act of adding commercial elements and innovative elements is certainly worthy of recognition and encouragement, but the foundation of Daomen Zhai Rice lies in the cultural heritage of Daomen.
One must build on a firm foundation!
If the Daomen Zhai rice is served out and there is no difference between it and the Buddhists' Zhai, and there is no trace of characteristics at all, then it can still be called Daomen Zhai?
Therefore, in this test of Wang Billy, the taste of the rice is the second, and whether it contains Taoist philosophical ideas is the key.
If Billy Wang presents a table of delicious dishes that are exquisite and beautiful, but lack the Taoist heritage, then Xuanwei will not be recognized as qualified.
It took more than half an hour to prepare the meal, and the disgraced Wang Billy wiped his sweat, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Rao is Wang Billy has hardly used an earthen stove, and the kitchenware in the kitchen is not very handy, but the chef is a chef after all, and Wang Billy has overcome these disadvantages by relying on his superb cooking skills.
Holding the Daomen Zhai meal carefully prepared by himself, Wang Billy was apprehensive for a while.
Since becoming a Michelin-starred chef, this is the first time he has served a dish, and he feels a little unsure!
"Dao Chief, there are a few more, the meal is on the table!" Wang Billy said to the Xuanwei people sitting around the dinner table.
Although the final judgment is in Xuanwei's hands, but a few people are staring at it tomorrow night, and it is a little inappropriate not to let them taste it.
It just so happened that the amount prepared by Wang Billy was quite sufficient, otherwise Ming Ye and the others could only watch Xuanwei enjoy the meal alone with greed.
"Needless to say, Chef Wang's cooking skills are not much to say, and I don't know what the carefully prepared Daomen Zhai rice looks like. Tomorrow night is looking forward to it.
"Just smelling the scent in the air makes me feel like I can't help but move my index finger. Ruoshui echoed.
"Hmph, smell the fragrance, don't eat it hard to eat!" Qinglian snorted very viciously, but the fingers on the table were impatiently clicking on the table.
The green lotus with the lotus root body actually doesn't need to eat, just absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and occasionally drink some water to maintain physical activity, but Xuanwei thinks that this will be a little less human, so every time he eats, he will let Qinglian go with him.
"I've been waiting for a long time, this is the Daomen Zhai meal prepared by my Wang Billy!" After serving a large pot on the table, Wang Billy said to Xuanwei and the others.
After staring at the cauldron in front of him for a few seconds, Xuanwei opened his mouth and asked, "Is there only one dish?"
A few people were also embarrassed tomorrow night, although the ingredients were limited, they wouldn't be so cold, right?
Prepare a few side dishes, plus staples such as rice!
Billy Wang smiled mysteriously and reached out to lift the lid of the pot.
White steam rises and a rich fragrance hits the nostrils, making everyone intoxicated by the fragrance of nature.
The steam dissipated, and the cauldron was filled with colorful and layered porridge like a rainbow!
"Tsk, it's more like a work of art than a pot of porridge!" Qiushui exclaimed sincerely.
"Hurry up and take a photo, such a beautiful porridge, I can't bear to eat it!" Ruoshui nodded in agreement, holding his mobile phone and slamming at the pot of porridge.
After taking the photo, a trace of cunning flashed in Ruoshui's eyes, and he immediately uploaded the photos he had just taken to various social platforms of Tiandiguan.
In almost a second, the photos attracted countless comments.
"Ah~~~ Ruoshui Fairy Gu, you actually openly poisoned at night!"
"Is this really porridge? I was drinking white rice porridge, and I suspected that I was drinking fake porridge!"
"Envy the small days of heaven and earth!"
"Rainbow-like porridge, who made this?"
"@小当家, I'm afraid you've crossed over!"
"I just finished dinner, and after seeing this photo, my stomach started rumbling again!"
"Holding a bucket of instant noodles, the taste is the same as chewing wax, pretending to be sitting with Xuanwei Daoist and them drinking porridge!"
On the Internet, foodies are always indispensable.
These photos uploaded by Ruoshui are completely popular when the majority of foodies mobilize their energy to tell each other.
What exactly does rainbow porridge taste like?
Who wrote this porridge?
Where can I eat this porridge?
Related hot topics quickly dominated major charts and search engines.
The most direct consequence is that a more alternative group has been added to the pilgrims who came to the Heaven and Earth Temple the next day.
The other pilgrims are here to ask for marriage and blessings, and they are good, begging for food with shy faces!
If it weren't for the rules of Heaven and Earth, they would definitely be able to bring their own cutlery and cheekily ask for packing after eating!
And Chef Wang Billy Wang also quietly became an Internet celebrity with the help of rainbow porridge.
There is no shortage of domestic dignitaries and nobles who offered sky-high prices to ask Wang Billy to cook a pot of rainbow porridge, but Wang Billy didn't dump them.
