Chapter 94: Bet
The imperial garden is very large, but Shen Daoquan and the two of them are more and more remote, and finally turn to a garden in the garden, the furnishings in the garden are completely different from the outside, the whole garden is rectangular direction, a bit like an old-fashioned courtyard in Beijing, the most bizarre is the small courtyard, built extraordinarily bright, completely different from the Central Plains.

Li Xiaoyu looked at this small courtyard and couldn't help but be amazed, "Hey, I didn't expect this big palace to have such a boundary, it's really unexpected." ”
Shen Daoquan shook his head, "This is also a helpless thing, I just sat in this position before, there were too many worries, those old guys annoyed me, I ran here to hide, and those old things couldn't find it." ”
"I've been to this place before, but it's been a long time!" Shen Zhong sighed, but his heart was a little sad, when he was a child, his father often took him to this small courtyard to play, at that time there were still many small animals in this courtyard, and he and a few brothers were playing in the yard, but as he grew older, he never came here again.
"Hey, this yard was bustling at that time!" A smile appeared on Shen Daoquan's wrinkled old face, and only then did Li Xiaoyu see a trace of aging and exhaustion on his face.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready for you." Your father-in-law walked out of the hut in the courtyard, put his hands in front of him, and greeted him with a smile.
At the moment when your father-in-law opened the door, Li Xiaoyu felt a mellow and rich fragrance coming from the house, even in the previous life, Li Xiaoyu had never smelled such a rich and mellow soup, "It's so fragrant?" It's such a rich bone broth, this taste is really unique in the world! ”
Shen Daoquan heard Li Xiaoyu praise his back kitchen so sincerely, and the old man said proudly, "Girl, just your nose, are you a dog?" How do I remember that you are a chicken? ”
"Where? It tastes really good. ”
"That's natural, the one in the back room has been cooking for ten years, and although his craftsmanship is not as exquisite as yours, he is better than yours." Shen Daoquan's words aroused his interest, although Li Xiaoyu knew that the cooking industry was outside the world, but it was still very uncomfortable to be surpassed by her in this world.
So she said unconvinced: "Cooking is not just about making a bowl of soup. ”
"You're right, but to make a good bowl of shark fin, this broth is indispensable!" A man came out of the back room, this man had pale temples, but his face was very clear, and it couldn't be more appropriate to describe it as a crane-haired childish face.
Seeing this old man, Shen Zhong was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists slightly, and bowed seriously. This person's name is Duan Hong, he is close to the age of sixtieth, he is Shen Daoquan's sworn brother, and he is also his personal guard, the Wuyue Sword Sect sent several times and three times to assassinate Shen Daoquan at this moment, but it was because of the existence of this person. This person has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, and he is nicknamed the gibbon monkey, and his fist is superb, and he once killed seven top masters sent by the Murong clan to assassinate Shen Daoquan within three days.
"Brother Duan, this girl is Lao Li's daughter, how is it, she is in a good situation, right?"
"She doesn't look like her father, but she looks like her mother." The old man said.
Li Xiaoyu couldn't listen to their conversation at this time, because she had already seen the cooked sea tiger wings.
"Come on, I'll let the people in the imperial dining room cook the shark fin, you can just get it later, Xiao Zhong and I, go over there to sit down, you two are delicious people, let's learn from each other." Shen Daoquan smiled.
Li Xiaoyu knew that Shen Daoquan had something to discuss with her son, but now she only cared about how to cook the shark fin in the back kitchen, and he left everything else aside.
"Little girl, don't move the things in the back kitchen, I'll give you a shark fin when you go back, and make me today's wing." Duan Hong walked in front of him with his own thoughts, looking unfathomable.
Anyone who hears these words will definitely be uncomfortable, let alone Li Xiaoyu, a chef with high self-confidence. "You have to tell Your Majesty this, and he promised me to give me this sea tiger wing."
"Yo, little girl, what's the most important thing about shark fin?"
"When cooking shark fin, the most important thing is naturally the stock."
"You know that, too? The time and heat of this soup are very important, are you still too late to make it now? The old man looked sly and proud, fiddling with the Buddha beads in his hand.
"Isn't that a ready-made dashi?" Although Li Xiaoyu also guessed what Old Man Duan meant, she still had some hope for it.
"Phew, I'm still thinking about using my old soup, you can think it's so beautiful, that shark fin is Shen Daoquan's, he just said that it was made for the two of us, half of us are each, and the others are counted separately." Old Man Duan stretched out his hands, stretched his waist, and walked into the kitchen.
"Just now, Your Majesty said...."
"What did you say? When I got to this house, I had the final say, old man, for the sake of your father's face, so I agreed to give you half of it, otherwise, you wouldn't even want to smell the shark fin. The old man said that his hand shook slightly, and the skewer that was still playing with the Vajra Bodhi seed in his hand just now became a handful of powder.
"This.... Internal vaporization? ”
"It is worthy of Li Duan's daughter, and she will do a few kung fu, you give me the sea tiger wings, this rare ingredient in a hundred years, you have to match it with good ingredients to do it well, you give me this fan, and I will teach you kung fu when I have time."
Li Xiaoyu was afraid that the old man would change his mind again, she was really willing to miss such a cherished ingredient, "Okay, senior, let's be half of us, and I will bring everything I need to cook broth." Li Xiaoyu said that he was on the board, took out his cooking knife, and a complete set of cooking knives swung towards it, and Duan Hong was also stunned.
"I don't have soup on it, how do you simmer shark fin?"
"Hmph, this doesn't bother you all the time, I don't need your soup, I can still cook a pot of stock with some cold water, do you believe it or not?"
Duan Hong looked at Li Xiaoyu and said slowly, "Is a pot of high-grade broth just a matter of making it?" How do you simmer it without a day and a half of time? Just to say this to you, if I give that thing to you, it will be a pure tyrannical thing! ”
Li Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and glared, looked at Old Man Duan with disdain, and asked with a smile, "Who told you that a good pot of soup takes so much time?" For me, an hour is enough! ”
"Hmph, young people are really impetuous, they dare to say anything for the sake of face, fortunately you are a girl, if you are a brat, I have to pull out your tongue, old man!"
"Hey, I can only say that it is thanks to your good kung fu, otherwise with you being so arrogant and crazy, I would have to poke those two holes in your nose if I have the chance." This old man dared to question his cooking skills, he couldn't bear it, he said that he could stew a pot of soup in two hours, then he can, he is not the kind of person who deliberately brags for the sake of face, this old man is disrespectful to the old, and it is okay to bully himself, and now he even looks down on himself, Li Xiaoyu's anger naturally came up.
You are an old man, a senior, I respect you, but you can't go too far, once you can be arrogant, but there must be a limit, once you rely on the old and sell the old, what kind of academic authority is there, I'm sorry, then I can only hit you! In the previous life, his restaurant had just become a little famous, and there was a senior in the catering industry, relying on the fact that he was out tomorrow morning, with high knowledge and reputation, and denied his own cuisine for no reason, and then Li Xiaoyu didn't say anything, ran directly to him, made a few dishes that he criticized and accused, and let him taste them, and the result was still a variety of slaps in the face.
"Hmph, good girl, you cook me a pot of soup now, if you can't cook it, I have to teach you a lesson!"
"Get out of the way, I'm annoyed when I look at you, Tianyin is in the palace, are you afraid that those from the Wuyue Sword Sect will seek revenge on you? Why are you afraid that the enemy will come to you when you are old? How many years have you been here? You don't even know what's going on out there, do you? I haven't seen the world and dare to accuse me at will, you are still quite reasonable? Li Xiaoyu mocked the old man in a strange tone, only to see Duan Hong's white hair fluttering on his head and his body trembling constantly.
He lives in seclusion in the palace is not to avoid any enemies, just because he is old, his martial arts have reached the extreme, and he can no longer improve, he has no other hobbies, except for practicing martial arts, is eating, he is a veritable gourmet, in this palace compound he can eat delicious, and he can also cook some dishes with top ingredients, which has made him very satisfied.
"Hard-mouthed little girl, if you can't do it today, the old man will pinch off your hands, so that you can't touch the kitchen knife in the future."
"What if I make it?" Li Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, his soup may not be as good as that pot of broth, but it can definitely be regarded as a top-notch soup.
"If it is really made, then the old man can be regarded as opening his eyes, and it is useless for the old man to ask for these eyes again, just as you wish!" Duan Hong's whole body trembled, someone actually said that she was living in seclusion in the palace to avoid the enemy, who did she see as her? I am not the kind of villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for wealth and wealth!
"You said it yourself, don't regret it later!"
"A gentleman's words are difficult to chase, and you will be at your disposal when the time comes!"
