"Taste Building" just look at the name to know that it is a hotel, and then look at its door and stand outside the door to welcome the second dress, you know that this is still a big hotel.

Looking at the customers who kept entering the taste building, Mu Fan speculated that it should be lunch time. If you want to fill your stomach in a restaurant of this level, fifty yuan is definitely not enough, and you can order two cold dishes at most, the kind without meat. But it's okay to go in and take a look, for Mu Fan, who often borrows the bathroom of the hotel, this bit of cheekiness is still there.

After tidying up his clothes, Mu Fan put on an expression of a gentleman, and strode to the door of the taste building. With his hands behind his back, he stepped up the steps. Xiao Er bowed his waist slightly, took two steps to Mu Fan's side, and said with a respectful smile: "Come here, please come inside." ”

Mu Fan nodded slightly, crossed the threshold and walked in. The first floor is a spacious hall, the decoration is antique, the right side of the door is a half-height wooden bar, an old man dressed as a bookkeeper is standing behind the bar to settle accounts for the guests, behind it is a wine rack to the top, from top to bottom there are all kinds of wine jars, next to the shelf there is a delicate herringbone ladder, which should be used to take the top drink.

At this time, more than a dozen tables and chairs in the hall were basically full, and Xiao Er, who served wine and food, shuttled through them, and was busy in full swing.

"Master, are you looking for a guest or a meal?" Xiao Er, who followed Mu Fan's side, asked with a smile.

"Eat." Mu Fan replied casually, and when he saw that there was an empty table at the innermost part of the hall, he stepped forward.

Xiao Er diligently pulled down the white towel on his shoulder, and wiped the wooden chair and table top that were already clean before Mu Fan.

Mu Fan sat down in the robe of the ancients, clicked on the table and asked, "What about the menu?" On the way from the gate to the table, Mu Fan had already observed the surrounding environment, and there were no dishes and prices on the wall.

"Master, this is your first time, right?" Xiao Er took out a menu from his back waist as if by magic, put his hands in front of Mu Fan, and said with a smile: "Do you want to recommend a few special side dishes to you?" ”

"No, I'll take a look first." Mu Fan waved his hand, "You go get busy, I'll greet you when you order." Mu Fan knew in his heart that the dishes recommended by the general waiter to the raw customers were indeed the specialty of the store, and the taste should be good, but the price must also be high. With the fifty gold in Mu Fan's pocket, how dare he listen to Xiao Er's advice.

"Hey, raise your hand to order." Xiao Er bent down slightly, took two steps back, and turned to greet the other guests.

After Xiao Er left, Mu Fan opened the menu. Although they are all traditional characters, they are inseparable from the word 'dish', and Mu Fan can understand it.

The menu is similar to that of a human restaurant, with cold dishes in the first row, stir-fried dishes and grilled dishes in the middle, and dim sum and drinks at the end. It's just that the number of dishes is less than that of restaurants in the world.

Mu Fan glanced at the others, and his attention was mainly focused on the pastry. There are not many pastries in the taste building, only three kinds, namely Ruyi cake, plum blossom Su and Tangram dim sum. Just hearing the name makes people have an appetite, but unfortunately the price of these three items is not low, and the cheapest Ruyi cake costs 45 gold.

This price is too high, according to Mu Fan's inference, if the taste building is in the world, it is also a four-star hotel at the most. If you want to fill your stomach here, I'm afraid you can't do it without three or four hundred gold. The smell of vegetables around hit the nasty smell, and the gluttonous insects that Mu Fan had cut off not long ago were hooked out again. This time, it wasn't just gluttony, but his stomach also rumbled twice, he was really hungry.

Looking at the menu, Mu Fan gritted his teeth and wanted to order a wishful cake. But when I looked at the price, I was a little reluctant. If you eat Ruyi cake, there is only hardware left in your pocket, and what can five steel hammers do.

Thinking of this, Mu Fan couldn't help it. The fifty gold in your hand should be used to buy some gifts, and when the time comes, you can give it to the pastry chef, maybe the other party will be happy, and the cooking skills will be handed over to yourself. It's not a big hope, but it's still a hope. And the amount of Ruyi cake should not be much, and it is even more uncomfortable to make a half-full one after a serving.

Just as he was about to get up and find an excuse to leave, Xiao Er happened to walk past Mu Fan with a tray, and a unique fragrance of wheat entered his nose. Mu Fan turned his head to look, his eyes lit up slightly. There are two plates in the small two trays, and what is placed on the plate is actually steamed buns, which are not small, about the size of a fist.

"System, steamed buns should also belong to the category of pastries, right?" Mu Fan hurriedly asked in his heart.

"Steamed bread belongs to the staple food, and it also belongs to the pastry." System loopback.

Mu Fan, who got the system's reply, was overjoyed, raised his hand to beckon Xiao Er, and asked, "How do you sell steamed buns in your store?" ”

"Hui Ye, fifteen gold each." Xiao Er replied respectfully.

"Fifteen gold?" Mu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, equivalent to fifteen yuan a piece, this steamed bun is too expensive, originally Mu Fan thought that the price would be three gold at most.

"Master, your first time here, you may not know, the steamed buns in our store are all Jiao Xiang steamed buns made by Jiao Xiang himself." Xiao Er explained, "Fifteen gold, it's really not high. ”

"Jiaoxiang steamed buns? Who is Jiao Xiang? Mu Fan hurriedly asked, unexpectedly inadvertently drawing out the name of a chef, listening to Xiao Er's tone, he was still a famous chef.

"You're from somewhere else." Xiao Er asked.

"Yes, I'm from Tianlu." Mu Fan remembered that the coachman once said that he was the Bibo vegetable that went to Tianlu Fangjin, and Mu Fan was learning and selling now.

"Oh, no wonder." Xiao Er nodded, and introduced very quickly: "Although you are not from this side, you should also know Mr. Kong Ming, the wonderful idea of this steamed bun was thought up by Mr. Kong Ming." And Jiao Xiang is Mr. Kong Ming's royal chef, and he personally made the first steamed bun, which is very famous in our Luxiang City. ”

Hearing Xiao Er's words, Mu Fan also remembered. He really knows some about the origin of this steamed bun, it is rumored that after Zhuge Liang captured and subdued Meng Shu in seven ways, the class teacher returned to the dynasty. When the army marched to Lushui, it was suddenly overcast and the waves were so monstrous that it was impossible to pass through at all. Meng Huo said that this was the unjust soul in the water who came out to make trouble, and he needed to use human heads as sacrifices in order to cross the river safely.

After Zhuge Liang heard this, his heart sank, thinking that since the person who was doing the trouble was an unjust soul, if he killed people again, wouldn't there be more unjust souls. So he ordered his royal chef to make stuffing with beef and mutton, bread and flour, and make the shape of a human head, put it in a cage drawer and steam, as a sacrifice to hide it, and give it the name 'Concealment Shou', which was later passed on by the world as 'steamed bun'.

Before the Song Dynasty, whether it was stuffed or unstuffed, it was collectively called steamed bread. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the term Baozi was applied.

Mu Fan didn't expect that he would be able to meet Zhuge Liang's royal chef here, that is, the first person to make steamed buns.

"That's it." The steamed buns made by the founder of the steamed buns, Mu Fan must taste them, and this steamed bun is not small, so he must be hungry.

"Master, do you want to order now?" At this time, business was booming, there were many customers, Xiao Er chatted with Mu Fan patiently for a long time, and he was also a little anxious at this time.

"Order, just this steamed bun, give me three first." Mu Fan said proudly, at this time, he was hooked by the aroma of steamed buns, and he couldn't take care of it too much, first relieve his hunger and fill his stomach, and then find a way to worship Na Jiao Xiang as a teacher.

"Okay." Xiao Er nodded to note it, then stood in place, looking at Mu Fan.

Mu Fan saw Xiao Er staring at him, and said, "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and get me steamed buns." ”

"That...... Master, you just need steamed buns? Xiao Er asked in surprise, although the steamed bread tasted good, but there was no dry steamed bread.

"I'll start with three steamed buns to appetize." Mu Fan coughed dryly, glared slightly, and said, "What, no?" He wanted to order a few steamed buns, but he didn't have enough money.

"Okay, okay, you wait." It was the first time that Xiao Er had heard of using steamed buns to appetize, but when he entered the door, he didn't dare to offend, so he hurriedly fetched steamed buns for Mu Fan.

After about two or three minutes, Xiao Er came over with a tray, "Master, the steamed bun you ordered." As he spoke, he put a plate of steamed buns in front of Mu Fan, and then bent down and retreated.

On the table in front of Mu Fan was a small milky white disk with several graceful curves at the bottom. Three steamed buns of the same size are placed on top of them in a zigzag shape, steaming slightly. Mu Fan took a deep breath, and the unique wheat fragrance was intoxicating.

Mu Fan reached out and picked up one, this steamed bun is not as white as other steamed buns, but uniform wheat yellow, and the surface is very smooth and flat. It is not as heavy as Mu Fan imagined, but it feels very good, and the hardness and softness are moderate.

In the process of bringing the steamed buns from the plate to his mouth, Mu Fan subconsciously swallowed several times. Put the steamed bun in his mouth, bite it gently, and the pure wheat fragrance swept Mu Fan's taste buds, soft and delicious to the extreme, as if the essence and fragrance of the entire wheat field have gathered in Mu Fan's heart and spleen. So much so that Mu Fan's thoughts stopped, but he kept stuffing the steamed buns into his mouth, chewing and swallowing, his face full of intoxication.

In less than a minute, the three steamed buns were eaten up by Mu Fan. But at this time, Mu Fan didn't enjoy it at all, so he raised his hand and called Xiao Er without thinking about it, and asked for three more.

After six steamed buns were in his stomach, Mu Fan burped lightly before he was slightly satisfied. This is the first time he has eaten all-you-can-eat steamed buns.

"It's delicious." Mu Fan thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find the right words to describe the deliciousness of this steamed bun, so he could only sigh with emotion.

After sighing, looking at the two empty plates on the table, Mu Fan remembered that he seemed to have eaten six steamed buns just now. If each steamed bun is fifteen gold, that is, ninety gold, but he only has fifty gold.

Thinking of this, Mu Fan's cold sweat immediately fell. I don't know what the consequences will be if you eat a bully meal in Yudu.
