Chapter 120: The Tao Te Ching

In the kitchen, Zhu Liye had a light smile on his face, his eyes were withdrawn from the red stewed beef, and he fell on Wang Ming in front of him, and asked slowly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Alright, let's all go up."

And in the face of the fifth brother Zhu Liye's question, Wang Ming also smiled, just when he was about to speak, Wei Lao stood up and said to a few people, and then, with the support of Xiaoya, he took the lead and walked slowly outside the kitchen, and seeing this, Wang Ming put the hand towel in his hand on the cooking table, and immediately shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Zhu Liye.

"Fifth brother, go up first."

Wang Ming said with a smile, as his voice fell, Zhu Liye also nodded, and each of the six people held a dish in his hand and walked slowly upstairs.

In the private room on the second floor, next to the huge round table, several people sat around, looking at Wei Lao on top of the first place with a smile on their faces.

Wei Tianxiang had a smile on his old face, and when he looked at the few dishes on the table, he nodded slowly, and Gao Yuan cleverly made two refreshing small cold dishes and put them aside, then turned around with a smile and walked outside the door.

"Jidong, what is this? …”

Wei Tianxiang's eyes looked at the first dish on the table, the pumpkin cup in the vessel exuded a glutinous and soft feeling, and as he asked, Mi Jidong stood up, and the smile on his face was a little simple.

"Master, here's a small chop with soy sauce..."

Mi Jidong's voice fell, scratching his head a little sneeringly, as his voice fell, Wei Tianxiang nodded, and then, Xiao Ya on the side turned the turntable, turned the pumpkin cup in front of him, and gently removed the lid on it, a fragrance of tempeh chops, mixed with the glutinous softness of the pumpkin, slowly spread out.

"Huh? Not bad, some interesting. ”

Wei Tianxiang's eyes lit up slightly, then nodded, and when he spoke, Xiao Ya had already taken out a small chop from the pumpkin cup and put it in the snack plate.

The reddish-brown row was stained with some silk threads in the pumpkin, and the surface exuded bursts of heat, and under the illumination of the light, it was as if wrapped in a layer of transparent glass, and several people around them also nodded secretly.

Wei Tianxiang carefully picked up the small chop, and after taking a small bite, the smile on his face spread with a slight chew.

"Yes, the cooked short ribs are wrapped in starch and fried, then cooked with tempeh and oil, etc., and then put them in the pumpkin and put them in the steamer for secondary cooking, which is very creative and pertinent."

Wei Tianxiang praised with a smile, and as his voice fell, Mi Jidong also nodded.

"This is also the time when the menu has been released recently, and one of the improved dishes is only being cooked for the first time, and there are some imperfections that will be corrected in practice later."

Faced with Mi Jidong's answer, Wei Tianxiang slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and shook his head with a smile.

"You guys, you just have to keep an eye on it, otherwise, you'll waste your talents... I have this ability, but I'm too lazy..."

Wei Tianxiang said with a smile, Mi Jidong on the side also nodded again and again, and Xiao Ya on the side handed over the water in the cup, every time grandpa tasted the dish, in order to minimize the deviation of the taste buds, he would rinse his mouth with warm water when tasting the next dish, and this has become a habit.

"Minglei, this is crispy white meat, right?"

Wei Lao had a smile on his face, and when he looked at the second dish, he slowly spoke, and as Wei Lao's voice fell, Ma Minglei also nodded and spoke to Wei Lao.

Wei Tianxiang nodded, the chopsticks in his hand gently poked out, and he took a strip of pork belly wrapped in sugar juice, put it to his mouth and blew it, then he gently bit a small piece and chewed it slowly.

"The ratio of starch and flour in the hard paste is good, but when the pork belly strips are marinated, the bottom should be lighter, the frying heat is just right, and the boiling of the sugar juice is also pertinent, which is good..."

Feeling the crispy and sweet familiar taste of crispy white meat in his mouth, Wei Lao nodded and spoke, as his voice fell, Ma Minglei nodded with a serious face.

"Don't be so restrained, don't just listen to my nagging here, you can also taste it, and by the way, make a summary in your own heart..."

Wei Tianxiang spoke again, and as his voice fell, several people at the table began to move their chopsticks, and the atmosphere gradually became easy-going.

After commenting on the dishes of the other three again, Wei Tianxiang's gaze stayed on the glassware in front of Wang Ming, and when there was a hint of a smile on his face, he reached out and opened it.

The faint sour smell came to his nose, making Wei Lao's eyes, who had just eaten a few kinds of meat, brighten, while Wang Ming stood up, used a small spoon to pack some of the dishes in it, and put it in front of Wei Tianxiang.

"Taste it, braised beef."

Wang Ming showed a smile on his face, and when he spoke, he sat down slowly, and as his voice fell, Wei Tianxiang also nodded, picked up a small piece of potato, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it down his throat with an appetizing sour fragrance without chewing too much.

"Huh?"

Feeling the faint sour fragrance in his mouth, Wei Tianxiang's eyes lit up slightly, and then he picked up a small piece of beef brisket wrapped in fiery red soup again, put it in his mouth with a hint of expectation, and chewed it gently.

"Tomatoes and beef are matched, slightly sweet in the sour aroma, I think, this sweetness should be spread out after the onion is heated, as for the potatoes, after frying, there will be a fried flavor, mixed with the sour taste of tomato juice, in the compound flavor dishes, it is a very good match, and the selection of beef is also very careful, crispy but without losing the chew, it should be beef under the ribs of the cow in the prime of life... Very good. ”

Wei Tianxiang's voice fell, and he added a piece of beef to his mouth again, and when he nodded slowly, the rest of the people also looked over and looked at Wang Ming's gaze, which was a little different.

"Let's try it, as a senior brother of the same sect, I will have time in the future, and I will also communicate and communicate, Xiaoliu is still young, you are senior brothers, you usually have time to guide and guide him, as long as you can unite well, my old bones, I will really rest assured..."

As Wei Tianxiang's voice fell, several people also nodded, tasting each other's dishes, and while tasting each other's dishes, they also began to slowly tell about the latest catering trends in each other's fields.

With the passage of time, everyone gradually ate and drank to their heart's content, sitting on their chairs and drinking tea and chatting from time to time.

"Okay, take it, you all go back to rest, during this time, it should be quite tiring."

Wei Tianxiang opened his mouth and said, and immediately stood up, and seeing this, several people also got up, and when they followed, after the group went downstairs, they left with several people saying hello one after another, and Wang Ming on the side also raised his eyes to look at the time.

"If it's okay, let's talk to the old man..."

Seeing that several people left one after another, Wei Lao turned sideways and said to Wang Ming on the side, as his voice fell, Wang Ming also nodded respectfully, and seeing this, Wei Lao Fang, with the support of Xiao Ya, walked slowly to the only private room in the hall on the first floor of Lao Chuanlu, and Wang Ming in the back saw this and hurriedly followed.

Following the two into the private room, Wang Ming was slightly stunned, the private room was obviously specially cleaned, the layout inside was similar to that of a general hotel, the toilet and the like were all available, in addition, on the wall behind the desk, on the temporary bookshelf, there were many books.

"Xiaoya, you go and rest for a while, I'll talk to Xiaoliu."

Wei Tianxiang sat down on the sofa in the private room, the whole person was faintly tired, after the crutches in his hand were put aside by him, he raised his head, looked at Xiao Ya in front of him, and said in a soft tone, and as his voice fell, Xiao Ya nodded hesitantly, and then, his eyes paused on Wang Ming for a moment, and there was no trace of a smile on his cold face.

"Look after grandpa, I'm in the hall on the first floor."

A few simple and quick words came out of Xiaoya's mouth, and then, on the side of the tall figure, walked slowly towards the door.

"This kid has been spoiled by me since he was a child..."

Looking at Xiao Ya's disappearing back, Wei Lao shook his head with a smile, but the smile on the old face made Wang Ming see the doting in it.

"It feels good, at least to you, master, I can see that she cares very much."

Wang Ming shrugged his shoulders, immediately sat down beside Wei Lao, and said slowly, and as his voice fell, the smile on Wei Lao's face became more and more intense.

"I'm seventy-three years old... Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, people are old. ”

Old Wei had a smile on his face and said softly, while Wang Ming on the side was full of seriousness, looking at the kind old man in front of him with dark eyes, listening to his voice.

"Little Liu, you should be able to see that the master is not in good health, as the saying goes, seventy-three, eighty-four, Lord Yama is looking for you to talk about your heart... Hehe. ”

"In my life, I have accepted these five disciples, and when I originally hung the spoon, I had already announced to the outside world that I would never accept disciples again, but it wasn't until Gao Yuan called and said that after the spread of the three-way knife technique, I met you."

"You are very talented, and your brain turns quickly, although you don't talk much, but the master can see that you have something in your heart, so it's not good."

Listening to Wei Lao's voice, Wang Ming nodded gently, the old man's eyes were very sharp, perhaps, this had something to do with his many years of acquaintance, at this moment, as Wei Lao's voice fell, Wang Ming nodded, with a smile on his face.

"Don't praise me, otherwise Xiaoliu will be proud, and that kind of feudal superstition is not worthy of credibility, your old body is tough..."

Wang Ming said with a smile, and as his voice fell, Wei Lao shook his head with a smile, looking at Wang Ming's gaze, which softened.

"Little one, you still know how to comfort the master."

Stretching out his hand and stroking Wang Ming's hair, Wei Lao's somewhat cloudy eyes, with a hint of reminiscence, looked at Wang Ming in front of him, hesitated slightly, and nodded silently.

"You go... Bring the Tao Te Ching on the shelf. ”

As Wei Lao's voice fell, Wang Ming nodded, and when he got up, he walked in the direction of the bookshelf, and after flipping for a moment, he pulled out a copy of the Tao Te Ching in the middle of the bookshelf.

"Huh?" (To be continued.) )
