Qin Xiu, who was obviously the protagonist but had been speechless since Han Shida came in, looked at Old Man Yang with an expressionless face, and a trace of boredom flashed in his eyes.

After warning Yang Quan, although he was still a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't plan to do anything, and what happened after that was completely regarded by him as a farce, and now, this farce is over.

It's just that what he doesn't plan to do doesn't mean that he has to forgive and don't care, so he has no interest in taking over Yang Quan's father's words.

Suddenly, he stared at the door, and at the door of the main hall, after King Ning and his group walked in, a group of people appeared again, this group of nearly 100 people, all wearing eunuch palace maid clothes, each of them held a tray in their hands, and only a piece of food covered with a semicircular lid was placed on the tray!

Seeing them, Qin Xiu's eyes lit up, this is the beginning of serving!

However, although he was looking forward to it, he didn't make any moves, after all, the dishes that came first could only be regarded as appetizers, and the cooking dishes were still to come.

After not waiting for Qin Xiu's reply for a long time, Master Yang felt a little embarrassed, and he was so ignored in front of everyone's eyes, and there was still a burst of dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Qin Juma, I-" Master Yang wanted something, but Qin Xiu directly ignored him, walked around him and walked behind him, his face froze, what he originally wanted to say was just abruptly stopped, and the glances around him made him feel as ridiculous as an ugly.

The reason why Qin Xiu left was because he saw Zhao Fei and Li Yi who followed in after the group of palace maids and eunuchs walked in!

It was not unusual to see them, the key was the tray they were holding in their hands! That moment attracted Qin Xiu's attention, and Master Yang, who made him directly ignore the words, walked towards the two.

"Qinzi, come and try my best food. Zhao Fei sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hall when he stepped into the main hall, but as soon as he saw Qin Xiu walking towards them, he immediately left this little wrongness behind him, and beckoned to Qin Xiu with a smile.

"Yes. Qin Xiu nodded, looking at the tray in his hand, his eyes showed interest, obviously very interested in his specialty dishes.

As the dishes were served, it meant that the banquet had begun, and Qin Xiu found his place under the leadership of Mu Hualan, who came over, and he didn't care at all about how the group of people behind him dealt with it in the end.

However, he later heard that Xiao Xuan and Yang Quan were imprisoned by Han Shida on the grounds of 'bribing court officials', and stayed in prison for a whole month! If it weren't for his father to dredge up the relationship, he wouldn't have been able to get out!

Of course, this is a later story, now Qin Xiu only has expectations for food, watching the palace maids and eunuchs put a piece of food on the table one by one, these dishes are very good at the art of cooking, the dishes in each plate are mainly used in the modeling means of "around, matching, inlay, stuffing" and other process methods, the patterns are as beautiful and pleasing as bonsai, and the air is beginning to be filled with a burst of appetizing fragrance.

The food on each table is different, and the closer you get to the dragon chair, the more exquisite the food on the table becomes.

For such a situation, the people present were not surprised, and they felt that they were taken for granted, after all, the identities of the people who could sit in those seats were not ordinary, and the closer they were to the emperor, the more noble their identities were.

However, Qin Xiu found that the food on the table of the military generals was obviously much more sumptuous than the food on the tables of those civil officials, but when he remembered the theme of this banquet, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes.

However, Zhao Fei and Li Yi followed to the table where Qin Xiu was, and put the food on the tray in their hands on his table, and the several eunuchs and palace maids who followed behind them also stepped forward and put the food on the tray in their hands on the table.

Qin Xiu looked at the food on the table, the food that Zhao Fei and Li Yi put on the table with their own hands was still covered with a cover, so that people couldn't see what kind of food it was, and at the same time, people couldn't smell a little fragrance, and he also found that there were also four covered foods in front of Ning Wang and the others, but they were not Zhao Fei and the others who gambled with their own hands.

Zhao Fei rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "These delicacies are my specialties, Qin Zi, you can taste it, how it tastes, I am looking forward to your evaluation." ”

Qin Xiu nodded and was about to lift the cover of one of the delicacies, when suddenly a sharp voice sounded in the main hall.

"The emperor has arrived—"

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

With this voice, civil and military officials, wealthy merchants, ladies and others closed their mouths one after another and began to greet the emperor, but because it was another banquet, this time they did not get up and salute.

When the emperor sat down on the gorgeous dragon chair, he made a few solemn opening remarks, and he didn't listen to what Qin Xiu didn't listen to, what was wrong with his opening remarks, and the important thing was when he could taste the food.

Fortunately, the emperor was not a verbose person, and after a few words of morale, he announced the opening of the feast, and as his words fell, accompanied by echoing applause, a group of bewitching dancers rushed in from the doorway, and began to dance in the center of the hall as the music sounded.

At the same time as the feast began, a few miles outside the city of Kyoto, a soldier wearing the armor of the Tanglin Empire, covered in blood, rode a brown horse galloping in the direction of Kyoto......

But Qin Xiu reached out and lifted the cover on the food, and as soon as the cover was lifted, a drunken aroma suddenly sprayed his face, he sniffed, and his eyes lit up slightly.

This fragrance is good! Qin Xiu saved a sentence in his heart, and looked at the food on the plate, the white porcelain plate has a goose-yellow eight-character edge pattern on the edge, and there is a circle of pink edge lines in the back, and there is a fiery red carp on the plate, with its tail upturned and bent, so it seems that it is going to cross from the plate to the air in the next second, which is extremely realistic.

The sides of the fish are covered with a straight knife flower, sprinkled with shredded shallots, and the thick red soup slides off the fish, gathering a thin layer of red on the plate.

The fish is dotted with a few rose-red flowers and celery leaves, and the style is not complicated, but the color is bright, the aroma is overflowing, and it is very appetizing.

The palace cuisine is characterized by strict selection of materials, fine production, beautiful shape and color, and the taste is clear, fresh, crispy and tender, but no matter what, they all have a common characteristic, that is, luxurious and rare, and the side dishes pay attention to classic specifications.

A trace of pride flashed in Zhao Fei's eyes, and he saw that the people on the table around him also lifted the cover, and there was even the sound of many people swallowing saliva, and he proudly introduced: "The name of this dish is 'Liyue Dragon Gate', which means ......"

Zhao Fei was gushing about his delicacies, and Qin Xiu listened as he rode his chopsticks and stretched out to the carp on the plate.

He first used chopsticks to point zero on the fish, felt the softness of the fish, the fish was very elastic, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

With a little force in his hand, the chopsticks directly pierced the body of the fish and picked up a piece of fish, the surface of the fish was red, but the inside was very snow-white.

Qin Xiu opened his mouth, and ate the chopsticks and fish meat into his mouth, as soon as the fish meat entered his mouth, his face showed a trace of satisfaction, but immediately he frowned, his cheeks stirred twice, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment before his brows opened, and then he stretched out his chopsticks again and picked up a piece of fish meat and ate it into his mouth, but his face returned to expressionlessness after swallowing it.

"How is it?" Zhao Fei asked expectantly, when Qin Xiu started eating, he closed his mouth and didn't disturb him to taste, looking at the subtle expression on Qin Xiu's face, he was a little confused, is this satisfied or dissatisfied?

It's not just that Zhao Fei is curious, but many people present want to know Qin Xiu's evaluation, and they all look at Qin Xiu with interest, wanting to see what kind of evaluation he will make.

"Taste...... It's okay, though. Qin Xiu put down his chopsticks and said unhurriedly, without waiting for Zhao Fei to show his smugness, he continued with another but.

"But what?" Zhao Fei asked a little unconvinced, this dish is his specialty, every step has been carefully studied by him, and it is definitely the most suitable production method.

Qin Xiu looked at Zhao Fei and said with a serious face: "You used fatty pork, magnolia slices, and shiitake mushrooms as ingredients here, and you also added spicy bean paste, hmm...... There is also a very important ingredient continuous dish, which is no problem in this book, but you don't have the right timing when you put in these ingredients, and ......"

Qin Xiu pointed out the problems one by one, and although the evaluation was very vicious, it was very accurate, and the accuracy was to the point.

What is the most awesome thing about Qin Xiu now? It's not his cooking skills, it's not his fast cultivation, it's his physique! It's his five senses! Especially his sense of smell and taste! Among them, the sense of taste is the most!

Yes, his sense of taste has reached a very bad level, no matter what kind of food, as long as he is allowed to taste it, even if he doesn't know the most authentic taste of that dish, he can taste the shortcomings, and can accurately point out, and even it can roughly outline the production process, this is the special feature of the chef's physique!

But Zhao Fei felt more and more frightened the more he listened, and he was still a little unconvinced in his heart, but as Qin Xiu pointed out one by one, he had to say the word "obey".

The places he pointed out were all very different without exception, and even many of the details he was usually vaguely aware of, but he didn't pay attention to them.

From this point, it can be seen that Qin Xiu's cooking skills are far more powerful than what he is going to come!

After Qin Xiu finished what he was thinking, he didn't look at the expressions of everyone after listening to his words, he lifted the cover of the food next to him again, and suddenly a fragrance penetrated the tip of his nose, and he lowered his eyes.

A white porcelain bowl like a jar, with a protruding middle, a slightly concave mouth, and a wavy surface, without too much decoration on it, except for a daffodil that looks like an ink painting.

In the bowl, the pale yellow soup base is crystal clear, and the tender yellow bamboo shoots timidly emerge from the soup noodles, which are mixed with two baskets of tender pink meat slices, sprinkled with tender green onions, which looks very tender and delicious!

"The name of this dish is pickled and fresh, mainly the soup cooked with spring bamboo shoots and fresh, salted pork belly slices, "pickled", that is, salted meat; "Xian", that is, fresh meat, "Du", that is, with the meaning of fire, this dish ......" Seeing this dish, Zhao Fei sank his mind and began to introduce, he didn't believe that this dish could not be praised!

Zhao Fei still introduced the dish, while Qin Xiu still stretched out his spoon while listening, and scooped a mouthful of the clear pale yellow soup in the bowl.

Put it on the side of his mouth and blow lightly twice, and then drink it into his mouth, as soon as the soup is in his mouth, his eyes light up slightly, the taste is salty and fresh, the soup is clear and the juice is thick, and the umami is very thick.

"Not bad!" Qin Xiu praised, this soup has reached the expected value in his mind, although it is still a little insufficient, but compared to the advantages of it, it is negligible.

Hearing this, Zhao Fei immediately showed a smile on his face, very happy, that's it! This is his best dish! How could it not be well received!

But he was clearly too early in his heart.

I saw Qin Xiu sandwiching a tender yellow bamboo shoot and a piece of meat slices, and said seriously: "This meat is not crispy and fatty, the bamboo shoots are fragrant but not crisp and tender enough, although the wine you use can make the bamboo shoots more delicious, but ......"

Under Zhao Fei's surprised eyes, Qin Xiu Balabala made a lot of comments, and these opinions have a certain basis, which sounds very reasonable, and Zhao Fei rehearsed it in his mind according to Qin Xiu's method after listening, and found that if it is made according to Qin Xiu's method, this dish will taste even more delicious!

"Overall, only the soup is acceptable, and the rest of the dishes are not up to my expectations. Qin Xiu said lightly, the tone was like 'this qi is really good', "Ah, and the aesthetics are also good, although it is not gorgeous, but it is very appetizing when you look at it." ”

This evaluation of Zhao Fei is not the slightest frustration, Qin Xiu's two points are also his most satisfactory place, the dishes in the palace, the characteristics can be summarized by "rare, rare, quaint, weird" eight characters, it is particularly exquisite in color, quality, taste, shape, utensils, with the royal grace and luxury temperament, very rich in artistic blessings

Among them, one of the biggest features of this dish is that it is "thick soup" and "soft and glutinous and elegant", which can achieve this point from the selection of materials to the operation requires a lot of secrets, and this soup is made by him with a unique and unique secret, all the refinement is in this soup, and the focus of this material is naturally the soup, not the bamboo shoots, and meat.

Mu Hualan on the side also stretched out her chopsticks and ate the two delicacies, saying, "It's really not as delicious as what you make!"

Before Qin Xiu could answer, Mu Hualan sighed and said, "Sure enough, I still like the food you make the most! I won't be able to eat the food you make for a long time......

Mu Hualan's mood was a little low, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and turned her head to look at Qin Xiudao: "Xiu, why don't you go out with me!"

Ahem, the people around me choked, and the corners of their mouths twitched, General Lan, do you want to be so inseparable from the horse master!?

"Don't go. Qin Xiu replied with a lack of interest, and opened the lid of the third delicacy, "If you want to eat delicacies, wait for you to come back and eat!"
