Chapter 113: A Taste of Food
On the eighth day of the first month of October, Wang Dashou, a month earlier, Xiao Shizi pretended to mention it inadvertently in front of Baili Zimo at the suggestion of his mother. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Who is Zimo, like a human spirit, and quickly understood the king's purpose - I wanted her to help host the birthday banquet. Mu has a way, he is the direct leader of Qingjiang, Ye Ji Qingjiang laid the foundation so smoothly and quickly, it can't be said that it has nothing to do with the king, besides, they also gave the Ye family a courtyard.
So Zi Mo obediently ran to the king and automatically invited Ying to host the king's birthday banquet. After the news spread, the dignitaries and nobles in Qingjiang and the surrounding areas all broke into the relationship with the Wangfu, which could not only pat the sycophants of this great god, but also taste the rare cooking skills of the little boss of Yeji.
Since the last "Xiangfu" opening banquet, everyone who participated in the dishes of that day has never forgotten it. In the upper circle of Qingjiang, there have been hot topics for a long time, except for the banquet that day, it is Zi Mo's exquisite dishes like works of art. It's a pity that since that opening banquet, I haven't had the opportunity to taste the craftsmanship of the little boss.
Wang Shouyan gave another opportunity to a group of gourmets who had eaten and thought about it, or had not eaten it. As a result, at Wang's birthday banquet this year, the guests were unprecedentedly active, even if they wiped a little bit of the relationship, they also prepared heavy gifts to congratulate.
The birthday banquet began with the attention of Zhang Qiu, who sang the name of the dish, and one after another delicacies emerged: "fruity glutinous lotus root", "mountain treasure snowball", "rice fragrant golden silk tofu", "swiftlet homecoming", "one palm determines the world", "mountain treasure crab porridge", "lamp shadow fish fillet", ......
Just hearing the name of this dish makes people salivate, and people are full of praise for it, and the king's table is the officials who sit around according to their grades. Wang glanced at the delicacy called "One Palm Determines the World", and the plate was a shiny "soles of the feet", surrounded by green melon slices and red spherical tofu, and the color match was harmonious, making people very appetizing when they looked at it. Wang gently picked up a slice and sent it to his mouth, the taste was delicious and delicious, Wang couldn't help but squint his eyes and look like he was enjoying it.
The other officials waited for the king to put down his chopsticks before they moved, and then there was a sound of praise. Wang beckoned Han Qiu, who was singing the name of the dish, and asked, "Do you know what this dish is made of?
Zhang Qiu replied thoughtfully: "Back to Your Highness, this dish is made with selected ostrich palms. Our young master said that ostrich palm contains a large amount of collagen and organic substances that are beneficial to the human body, and is an excellent dietary supplement. When cooking, use fatty ostrich paws to remove nails and odors, and then add fat chicken, ham, etc. to simmer for eight hours to make a dish. The taste is glutinous and fragrant, with ostrich palm as the ingredient, and carefully placed into the shape of the foot, so it is called 'one palm determines the world'".
The Governor stroked his hands and praised: "Wonderful, the color, shape, taste, and fragrance are all complete, and the dishes are wonderful!"
Wang nodded and said, "Zhang Qiu, did your young master let you memorize the subtleties of each dish, or how do you know so much?"
Han Qiu bowed down and said: "Your Highness is wise, our young master is just as His Highness said, let the little one memorize the names, ingredients, heat, and characteristics of all the dishes, and if the guests at the banquet have any questions, they will reply one by one." ”
"Well, what's this dish called?" asked Wang, pointing to a plate of golden dishes that had just been served, surrounded by white radishes carved into the shape of cherries and dyed with tomato juice.
"Back to Your Highness, this plate is called 'Crystal Cherry Goo Meat', which is fried with tender tenderloin and coated in a secret sauce. The color is golden and shiny, and the taste is tender and delicious. ”
"Well......" the king tasted and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, it's none of your business, go down." Zhang Qiu bowed down, and after a few steps, he was stopped by another table and helped them to be a commentator.
Baili Zimo, who is busy in the kitchen, has several famous chefs from Wangfuluo, and Baili Qianxiang, whose cooking skills are already on par with her, are also handy. After the latter dish was completed, with the help of Zimo Qianxiang's brother, he went to the sleeves and apron, picked up a plate, and prepared to personally serve the food to the king to celebrate his birthday.
After eating a birthday banquet, the king's heart was overjoyed, and he tasted the delicious food, and his face grew in front of the guests. Seeing Xiaoxue coming up, a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Zi Mo, what kind of name is this plate in your hand?"
Zi Mo gently placed the dish on the table and replied: "This dish is called 'Rich and Longevity Golden Melon Cup', and the outside is a whole pumpkin of the right size, carved with pine cranes to prolong life, implying health and longevity." This dish is mainly light and nutritious, and there are more coarse grains in the dish, such as pumpkin, oats, corn, red lettuce, sea cucumber, etc., which are reflected in nutrition, taste and grade. The time spent on this dish is mainly on the soup, and it took two days to boil the soup alone, simmering it with local chicken, duck, ham, etc., boiling a bucket of water to two bowls of water, the soup is rich and the taste is fresh and fragrant. ”
"Okay, good! Zi Mo has worked hard today, he deserves to be rewarded, and he will be given ...... seat" Immediately, a seat was added to the last seat of the lower king's table, and next to him happened to be an acquaintance.
Baili Yuluo was still intoxicated at this time, she saw Zi Mo sitting next to her, and couldn't wait to express her respect: "Zi Mo, there is really you." To tell the truth, you are a master of your work, and the imperial chefs in the palace are difficult to compare with you. If you are interested, I can recommend you to the palace as an imperial chef in front of my mother. ”
Baili Zimo waved his hand again and again, and said: "I am a native of the countryside, and I am used to it outside, you want me to enter the palace, don't you have the same as Sun Monkey with a tight hoop spell? Maybe one day if you are not careful, you will violate the rules of the palace, and you will be clicked, and Sister Yuluo will never have a chance to eat my food again." Hey, by the way, why are you at this table? Could it be that my sister has a meritorious body at a young age?"
Baili Yuluo's face was a little unnatural, and she smiled: "My mother is the companion of His Royal Highness King Su, and she has formed a deep friendship since she was a child. Now that the border is a little unstable, my mother has no time to go to the border to celebrate the birthday of her best friend, so she sent me to represent her. As for the fame, alas, it is just the remnants of the ancestors, and it is not enough to worry about. If I could, I would rather not have this fame. ”
"Haha...... Sister Yuluo is so ambitious, although her fame is valuable, but if she is in her position, she can contribute to the country and share her worries, what about Yu Yin?" Zi Mo thought that she was being tongued, so she comforted her.
"I ......" Zhu Yuluo's mouth opened, and he didn't say anything more, and drank the wine in front of him.
Zi Mo was about to enlighten this again, although she only had one side, but she wanted to get close to the woman from her heart, but was interrupted by the words of His Royal Highness the King: "Zi Mo, you have such an outstanding skill, hide it all day long and not let people appreciate it, but it's too unkind?"
Zi Mo blinked his eyes a few times, and said very strangely: "Why did Your Highness say this?"
"This king has heard people mention more than once that although the dishes of 'Ye Ji Fast Food' are delicious, they can only be tasted by themselves, or with three or two families, if they want to entertain guests, or family gatherings, Ye Ji does not have such conditions. Although the dishes of 'Xiangfu' have a bit of meaning. But for those who were accustomed to the taste of your last opening feast, it is tantamount to scratching the itch in their boots. Seeing that Zi Mo was still confused, Wang frowned, how could this person be very smart and clever sometimes, but sometimes he was extremely confused.
The prefect immediately took over the conversation and helped Zi Mo solve his doubts: "His Royal Highness the King has the same intention as us, that is, I want to see if Ye Ji can open a place to make such a high-quality dish today, so that we, the gourmets, can go from time to time to feast on our mouths and make tooth sacrifices." ”
"Oh...... I see, Your Highness and the adults mean, let me open another restaurant, yes. Zi Mo finally understood what Wang had said.
"yes, yes. Since the last time 'Xiangfu' ate the dishes made by the little boss, I felt tasteless wherever I ate, and I went to a fast food restaurant a few times, but I didn't feel like it. I have long been looking forward to the small boss opening a serious restaurant, hotel or something. When I'm old and don't have any other hobbies, I'm good at food. I don't know if the little boss can be fulfilled?" The one who spoke was the veteran of the Three Dynasties who told the old man and returned to his hometown, the old prime minister who was old but in good spirits.
Baili Zimo looked at this posture, it would be impossible not to agree, it was worth getting up and clasping his fists and saluting: "Zi Mo thank Your Highness and all the adults for your love, Zi Mo will go back to prepare to ensure that you adults can eat Ye Ji's unique boutique dishes before the year." As soon as these words came out, the officials at the table all showed satisfied smiles on their faces, and the wrinkles of the old prime minister could trap mosquitoes.
At night, Zi Mo, who was tired, drooped his shoulders and returned to his comfortable nest from the small corner gate connecting the palace and the Shao mansion. Baili Qianxiang personally served Zi Mo, who was lying lazily on the bed and couldn't get up, wiping his face and washing his feet: "If you're tired, wash and sleep." ”
Zi Mo hugged the bear pillow like a lazy bone and collapsed on the bed: "I'm not tired of cooking, I'm tired of dealing with those old guys." These old guys eat the marrow and know the taste, let me open a restaurant to satisfy their appetites, hum!
Baili Qianxiang wiped her feet clean, put it on the bed, and moved Zi Mo who was lying on the bed horizontally, and was about to cover the quilt, but she was not careful, and Zi Mo pulled her hard and pounced on her, hugging her.
Baili Qianxiang is already an adult, and he has a vague understanding of the affairs of men and women, and his face is flushed with shame for Zi Mo's closeness, and he stammered: "Press ...... Is it tender?"
Zi Mo gave up the little bear, used Brother Qianxiang as a pillow, and put his chin on Baili Qianxiang's shoulder. There is a reassuring taste on Brother Qianxiang's body, and it is really comfortable to hold. Zi Mo touched Qianxiang's face, which was so hot that he could fry eggs, and teased him: "How can my brother be so shy, when I become an adult at the end of next year, I can marry Brother Qianxiang home, and hold it like this every day, hehe!"
Baili Qianxiang patted her lightly in shame, and changed the topic: "Zimo, didn't you promise Miss Song Xiaohui not to steal business with her?
Zi Mo gently bit Baili Qianxiang's neck, watched his ears turn pink with satisfaction, sighed at his ears, and said, "I have a way not to offend the Song family, but also to meet the requirements of those bigwigs, you can rest assured." ”
Baili Qianxiang struggled to get up, Zi Mo deliberately hugged him tightly and didn't let him go, after all, Zi Mo took advantage of his internal strength, Qianxiang was like a bee that crashed into a spider's web, no matter how he struggled, it was useless. Baili Qianxiang was a little annoyed: "Miss! Qianxiang has been set as Miss since he was a child, if you ...... I'll have to wait until you're an adult...... If the big officials know about it, they will blame Qianxiang for seducing the master, I ...... I ......" said this, and his eyes were watery.
"Alright, alright...... I'm playing with you, don't cry, when you cry, my heart hurts. Don't worry, I won't force you to have sex with me before I give you a grand wedding. Zi Mo hurriedly let go of Baili Qianxiang and comforted him in a good voice.
Baili Qianxiang, who was out of her clutches, stood up straight, straightened out her messy clothes, and didn't know whether to be angry with this trouble-loving young lady, so he only snorted and said, "I love to fool around, aren't you tired, hurry up and rest." With that, he took the water for washing his feet and walked out the door.
Zi Mo shouted sweetly at his back: "Brother Qianxiang, good night, don't dream of me." Then looking at the background of Baili Qianxiang hurriedly fleeing, hehe Zhile is really good to be a person.
A month later, a small and elegant courtyard was carved out on the street of Yefu, and "Ye Ji Yipinzhai" was hung at the door. So the streets, alleys, teahouses and bookstores are all rumors about Yipinzhai: it is said that this Pinzhai is not a place that can be eaten at any time; it is said that this Pinzhai only entertains one table of guests every day, and after a table, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be entertained; it is said that the dishes of this Pinzhai are all fine products, and it is a kind of enjoyment to look at; it is said that the price of Yipinzhai is also very expensive, a plate of tofu costs five taels of silver, but people's tofu tastes better than the abalone ginseng wings; it is said that the orders of Yipinzhai are scheduled to be a month later; it is said... …
