Chapter 206: Eight Treasures

The other party is the heir of Fangshan, needless to say, it must be used to fight against Gu Xingzhi with the Manchu and Han full seats, you must know that the Manchu and Han full seats can be called the crystallization of the wisdom of the diet of various ethnic groups in China for thousands of years, even if it is now because of many wildlife protection regulations, there are some dishes that cannot be played, it is definitely difficult to shake its status.

Wu Ming was a little nervous, so he kept asking Gu Xingzhi if there was any way to fight against Jing Wenqing's Manchu and Han Quanxi.

Gu Xingzhi was also a little at a loss: "Against ordinary chefs, even if the other party uses what kind of delicacies and delicacies, I am not afraid, but the full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty is definitely not something that can be compared casually." ”

Wu Ming was a little frustrated: "In that case, wouldn't we be defeated, the other party is the successor of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, and he once served as the head chef of the state banquet group, such a name can overwhelm us, if things can't win them, then we are still a fart." ”

Gu Xingzhi thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not completely impossible. ”

Wu Ming's eyes lit up: "Really, if you need something, you say, I will help you prepare it even if it is smashing the pot and selling iron." ”

Gu Xingzhi said: "Now in the Chinese food industry, in the hearts of the public, the Manchu and Han banquets are already the crown jewels of the food industry, and there is nothing that can compare with them.

But in fact, in the chef's circle, there is also a legendary banquet that can compete with the Manchu and Han banquets. ”

"Really?"

Hearing Gu Xingzhi say this, Wu Ming, Xiao Cai and Bai Bin all pricked up their ears, after all, a banquet that can compete with the Manchu and Han Dynasty, just listening to this name is enough to attract people.

"Eight treasures of the East Pavilion. Gu Xingzhi said a name.

This name sounds very bluffing, but after all, Wu Ming, Xiao Cai and Bai Bin have never heard of it, and the three of them all stared at Gu Xingzhi: "Dongge Eight Treasures Feast, what is that? Why have we never heard of it?"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Gu Xingzhi said: "The so-called East Pavilion, in fact, in the ancient language, refers to the place where the dignitaries set up banquets, and the Eight Treasures Feast is a legendary banquet.

This kind of banquet has eight treasures, eight treasures in the middle and eight treasures in the lower eight, the upper eight treasures, corresponding to the eight kinds of ingredients, the middle eight treasures, corresponding to the eight cooking techniques, and the lower eight treasures, corresponding to the eight kinds of dining utensils. ”

Wu Ming was stunned when he heard this: "I don't know how to feel it." ”

Gu Xingzhi smiled: "Actually, it's not very mysterious, we want to copy the Eight Treasures Feast of the East Pavilion, it's not impossible, just like the Manchu and Han Banquets, because the Eight Treasures Feast includes some precious wild animals, so many dishes can't be used for the competition."

But fortunately, this banquet is just a small banquet, four cold, four hot and one dessert, such dishes, we can still do it if we piece it together in the Eight Treasures Feast. ”

"Then you say, what's there?" Wu Ming asked.

"First of all, the ingredients, the eight treasures, divided into three categories: mountains, seas, and grasses, each category corresponds to a kind of ingredient, I can find it now, and the ingredients that are not illegal are listed, you go to purchase. Gu Xingzhi said: "As for the eight cooking techniques, I only learned a small part from an ancient cooking book, but it can still be used to deal with this kind of small banquet that is four cold and four hot in a day."

As for the eight kinds of tableware and utensils in the eight treasures, it is not easy to do, many of them are very harsh, I can give you drawings, if you can find the right person to help build, it will not be a big problem. ”

Wu Ming thought for a while: "I'll solve the ingredients of Shangbazhen, and let Xiao Cai help me as an assistant, and then he should pick things better than me."

As for the eight techniques of Zhongbazhen, these days, you have to work hard to practice more to ensure that you don't drop the chain during the competition.

As for Xia Bazhen, I think you can hand over the drawings to Bai Bin, Bai Bin knows a lot of people in the magic capital, I think it should not be a big problem to be able to find a master in the machining industry. ”

After finishing speaking, several people hit it off, and Gu Xingzhi immediately wrote and drew the menu and utensils drawings, handed them over to Wu Ming and Bai Bin, and went into the back kitchen of the hotel to start the practice.

For this competition, the back kitchen of the hotel specially divided two blocks and provided them to Jing Wenqing and Gu Xingzhi as a practice field, and in the past few days, Wu Ming took Xiao Cai to run all the vegetable fields, fish steaks, ports, hotels, etc., all the places where it is possible to buy these ingredients.

Bai Bin directly contacted a friend who was engaged in handicraft processing in the local area, and this friend was working in a local art factory, an eighth-level technician, and it was not a problem to create these tableware with his own craftsmanship.

Three days later, the game officially began, in fact, as early as three days ago, when the two sides just reported the menu, the entire public opinion circle was boiling, and the Manchu and Han full seats played against the Eight Treasures Feast, such a scene can be called a showdown at the top of the Forbidden City in the entire culinary world.

Because it takes a long time to complete these extremely exquisite dishes during the holding process, whether it is the Manchu and Han banquets or the Eight Treasures Feast, the time for the finals has been directly extended to three days.

Wu Ming and Xiao Cai have traveled all over the magic capital in the past few days, and finally reluctantly found some ingredients that can meet Gu Xingzhi's standards, and Bai Bin is also dead-faced, and he asked his friend to promise him that he would close the door within three days and create this set of Bazhen tableware for Bai Bin.

Now that the ingredients and utensils have been taken care of, the rest is to take care of Xingzhi's craftsmanship.

During the three-day competition, Gu Xingzhi took Xiao Cai and the two of them into the kitchen and had a hard-fought battle with Jing Wenqing's chef team.

Even Bai Bin sighed that he had always been cynical, and he hadn't felt such a tense and exciting atmosphere for a long time.

Seeing that time passed day by day, and the competition between the two sides won and lost each other, Wu Ming also took the opportunity to taste the Eight Treasures Banquet and the Manchu and Han Banquets, two legendary banquets in the domestic food industry.

In addition to feasting on himself, Wu Ming was constantly shocked, Wu Ming always felt that what was delicious and unpalatable was actually just everyone's taste, and those so-called food critics were simply a bunch of liars who moaned without disease and used to earn eyeballs.

What Michelin, what state banquet, to put it bluntly, is just a little better than ordinary chefs, where is the real high energy?

But this time, Wu Ming was completely shocked, and the concept of the whole person was subverted, what is a master, what is delicious, he used to be a fucking guess, this is the real chef of Niu Cha!

Seeing that it is about to be the last day, the records of the two sides are basically a tie, but who wins and who loses, it is still unknown who will die, and the weight of the score is different for different dishes, so the method of converting the final game score is not necessarily what it looks like now.

But in any case, the competition with the most dishes on the last day will definitely affect the outcome of this competition to a large extent.

That night, even the competition-type players, Gu Xingzhi, who was more calm the more he arrived at the competition, couldn't sleep a little, and he was on the rooftop almost all night.

In the middle of the night, Wu Ming walked next door, dialed Bai Bin's phone, and asked Bai Bin how Gu Xingzhi was now, but Bai Bin was stunned for a long time after answering the phone: "No, Wu Ming, Chef Gu is gone!"

Wu Ming was taken aback, and hurriedly took Xiao Cai and them to look for them in the hotel, and finally saw Gu Xingzhi sitting with another person on the rooftop.

The two men looked to be talking and laughing, each holding a cigarette in his hand, and in addition to that, there seemed to be a bottle of wine next to him.

Wu Ming hurriedly walked over and was surprised to find that the person who accompanied Gu Xingzhi to talk and laugh on the rooftop was none other than Gu Xingzhi's opponent, Jing Wenqing, who was known as the only successor of the contemporary Manchu and Han Dynasty.

Seeing Wu Ming and them coming up, Jing Wenqing laughed: "Okay, I think I should leave too, Chef Gu, see you on the field tomorrow." ”

Wu Ming watched Jing Wenqing leave in a daze, and said after a long time: "I'll go, you guys are really playing on the top of the Forbidden City, sitting on the roof and chatting, it's romantic enough, you Chef Gu." ”

Gu Xingzhi knew that Wu Ming was joking, so he scolded with a smile: "Can you kid be a little serious, okay, continue to chat with me for a while, damn, Jing Wenqing, this old boy, deceived me into smoking half a pack of cigarettes, did any of you bring cigarettes?"

Wu Ming took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xingzhi: "Teacher Gu, you really opened my eyes, what did you talk about just now?"

Gu Xingzhi frowned and took a deep breath: "I only know now, every family really has a scripture that is difficult to read, but as for what it is, I promised Jing Wenqing, I have to rot in my stomach for this matter." ”

Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "Okay, you two heroes cherish heroes, I will be a villain in vain, but let's make it clear first, tomorrow's game still has to go all out to win, by the way, Chef Gu, are you sure?"

"Please, Wu Ming. Gu Xingzhi said: "Can you find me a Chinese chef from the world who dares to claim that he is sure to win Jing Wenqing?"

Wu Ming scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "What you said is that a Chinese chef of Jing Wenqing's level, looking at the world, no one dares to say that he is sure to win him, but ......"

Wu Ming said as he took out a small bottle from his pocket: "This seasoning is the last thing I can help you with." ”

Gu Xingzhi paused for a moment, "Could this be ......?"

"That's right, it's the medicine for your tongue, and it's also the spice added to your beef hall that day. Wu Ming said: "I can't help after other favors, but I'm sure that with this thing on the field, you will have a better chance of winning." ”

Gu Xingzhi nodded: "Okay, thank you." ”

Early the next morning, Gu Xingzhi got up, and after washing, he followed everyone to the venue, today is the last day of the finals of the King of Chefs Competition, and the dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty and the Eight Treasures of the East Pavilion that have been baked these days have also earned the attention of these media, and someone came early this morning to surround the competition site, in order to get first-hand materials.

The Manhan Quanxi and the Eight Treasures Feast are facing each other, who can win, and the person who sees the last is even likely to witness a piece of history in the food industry, so this game is definitely not too much to describe as a lot of attention.

As the referee announced the start of the game, both sides began to prepare nervously, Wu Ming sent a letter, Jing Wenqing's last dish was bamboo cage lamb soup, Wu Ming sat in the distance, staring at Jing Wenqing's cooking table carefully, and suddenly, Wu Ming's eyes lit up.

On Jing Wenqing's platform, there was a small transparent bottle containing some pale green liquid.

What is that?

Bamboo leaves, foreign wine, or ......

In this way, why does it look so much like a elixir!
