Volume 1 Chapter 62 Boiled Fish
The three of them upstairs were chatting with each other, strictly speaking, Mo Qingcang and Xiao Xiao were chatting, Juelin was a man of few words, only occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, most of the time he was sitting on the stool with his lips pursed, half-hanging his eyes, and he didn't know if he was thinking about something.
Time passed unconsciously, Mo Qingcang suddenly felt that his stomach was hungry, and then remembered the person who said that he went downstairs to get a new dish and said, "Hey, isn't Xiaoxi going to make a new dish?" Why hasn't it been done yet? I'm hungry. ”
Xiao Xiao hooked the corners of his mouth, squinted at him and said, "Are you very familiar with her?" Xiaoxi Xiaoxi screamed so affectionately. ”
"What are you talking about, didn't I call after you? I don't know what her name is, so I can't call her village girl, right? ”
Xiao Xiao glanced at him and said, "Forget it, you can call her Xiaoxi." ”
Mo Qingcang glanced at him and stood up, and said, "Don't wait, I'll go down and take a look, maybe she will run away early in the morning." ”
Who knew that as soon as Mo Qingcang's words fell, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a cool female voice sounded at the same time.
"Who did you say ran away?"
Mo Qingcang didn't hear Mu Jinxi's words, because his attention was completely attracted by the person who walked in behind her, to be precise, by what the person was holding in his hand!
Oh, it's so fragrant, just smelling this fragrance makes people feel shocked!
Mo Qingcang walked over briskly without waiting for anyone to approach, his eyes staring at the dish tightly, and saliva quickly flooded in his mouth.
"Xiaoxi, what kind of dish is this, so fragrant! And this fragrance, tsk, makes people's appetite move and invigorate! ”
Xiao Xiao also raised his eyebrows in surprise, this fragrance exudes a strong chili pepper smell. Although he doesn't like spicy food very much, he has to admit that he has also whetted his appetite.
The most calm person was Juelin, he just flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes, and his gaze followed the two of them to the pot of vegetables.
The red peppers are bright and attractive, and the white fish is embellished with red and white, exuding a spicy and fragrant taste, which makes people secrete saliva quickly.
Seeing the salivation on Mo Qingcang's face that could not be concealed, Mu Jinxi felt a sense of accomplishment. Although this dish was not made by her own hands, she taught it, without her, where would this dish come from?
Mu Jinxi asked people to put the dishes on the round table in the private room, waved his hand to make people step back and raise his chin and said, "Taste it!" Later, I'll have someone bring chrysanthemum tea to relieve your heat. ”
Mo Qingcang sat down honestly and unceremoniously and picked up the chopsticks, but looked at the red chili peppers in the basin and said with some hesitation: "Xiaoxi, can you eat so many chili peppers?" ”
Mu Jinxi glanced at him disdainfully and said, "If this dish doesn't have these peppers, what else is there to taste?" It is because of these chili peppers that this dish is even more delicious. Say you're a dirt bun and don't admit it! ”
Mo Qingcang was speechless, and the second time he was said by the same person that it was a soil bun, he had to wonder if he had really become a soil bun.
It was Xiao Xiao, who saw the pot full of red chili peppers, just raised his eyebrows and sat down, picked up chopsticks and reached into the basin, picked up a thin slice of meat and put it in his mouth.
Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, these four words are the first thing Xiao Xiao thought of. He thought that so many chili peppers would be very spicy, but in fact it was not, this kind of spicy was fragrant, not dry, unlike the spicy food he had eaten in the past, and there would be a choking spicy taste in his mouth when he ate it.
And the fish meat is smooth and refreshing, so people can't stop chopsticks.
Xiao Xiao quickly picked up the second piece and nodded while eating, "Very good, this dish will definitely be sought after once it is launched." It's just that it's summer, I'm afraid I'll get hot if I eat it, right? ”
Not everyone can afford it.
Mu Jinxi smiled: "Master Xiao, don't worry, I have also taken this aspect into consideration." In the summer, it can be sold with chrysanthemum tea. Chrysanthemum tea on fire, just right. ”
Xiao Xiao smiled at Mu Jinxi and didn't speak, but there was something clearly in his eyes. Mu Jinxi looked away, but she didn't see it.
When Mu Jinxi and Xiao Xiao were talking, Mo Qingcang couldn't help but start, he was a spicy person, and this meal was even more incredible, he was eager to take a whole pot of vegetables for himself.
"Juelin, come and try it, you have never eaten such a dish before, it is so delicious! We didn't eat any sashimi today, but it was worth it. Mo Qingcang stuffed the fish fillet in his mouth, and did not forget to beckon Juelin to come over.
Juelin? It turns out that this person's name is Juelin, and his name is a good name, a person who is worthy of him. Mu Jinxi thought silently in her heart.
Juelin walked over unhurriedly, slowly and logically, and tried it very elegantly.
Mu Jinxi saw Juelin's movements, and was even more sure that this person must be of noble birth. A person's cultivation is not something that can be cultivated overnight, like him, who has engraved the noble elegance in his bones, must have been nurtured and received this kind of education from birth, so that he has the outstanding cultivation he has now.
It's like the people around her in her previous life are all members of a big family, but when she attends a banquet, she will inevitably meet some people who are similar to nouveau riche, wearing customized clothes, and they have been specially taught, but once compared with them, they will be beaten back to their original form immediately.
"Xiaoxi, is your dish really a new dish that you came up with?" Mo Qingcang took the time to ask.
"Of course." Mu Jinxi replied without any heart.
She's original in this plane!
"I can't see that you still have this ability, since your brain is so good, why didn't you make good use of it before? If so, your life should be much better now, right? Mo Qingcang asked casually.
Mu Jinxi's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled: "Didn't you use it because you were too young before?" My father and mother are also worried, but now it is much better, and this matter is an opportunity. ”
Everyone lowered their heads and no one noticed the flickering eyes of Mu Jinxi, otherwise they would definitely find out with their keen observation.
"And what's the name of this dish? You can teach the people around me, so that I can continue to eat after I leave Peach Blossom Town. Mo Qingcang had a wishful thinking.
Mu Jinxi pursed her lips and smiled: "You have to ask Xiao Ye about this." ”
Mo Qingcang immediately moved his gaze to Xiao Xiao, who had stopped his chopsticks.
Xiao Xiao wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Do you think it's possible?" ”
He opened a restaurant in the capital, so he would be so stupid as to tell others about the new dish?
"Why are you so stingy? What is the relationship between the two of us, isn't it just a dish? Are you concerned? ”
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Since you said so, why are you obsessed with a dish?" What is your identity, what can you eat if you want to? ”
Mo Qingcang choked.
Damn, I know that this is a new dish that Xiao Xi came up with by himself, except for Xiao Xi, only the people from Peach Blossom Restaurant can make it, right? What are you doing with so much pretense, if you don't want to do it, you don't want to, what excuse to make!
Hmph, wait for him, if it is not suitable, he will invite Xiaoxi to the capital with a lot of money, specially cook for him, and see how arrogant he is!
"By the way, Xiaoxi, what's the name of this dish? Have you figured it out? Xiao Xiao asked.
Name? Do you still need to think about it? Of course, there are ready-made ones, and ready-made ones are used.
"This dish is called boiled fish."
Xiao Xiao frowned, "Boiled fish? It's a bit too common. ”
"Master Xiao, our Peach Blossom Restaurant is not a too high-end restaurant, the names of the dishes don't need to be too elegant, it's best to be easy to understand." After all, most of the consumers are middle-class people, and there is really no need to think of a nice name for each dish like a five-star hotel or a Western restaurant.
Xiao Xiao lowered his head and thought for a while: "That's it, since this dish is what you came up with, it's up to you to decide the name, it's called boiled fish." Let the shopkeeper prepare as much as possible and arrange the dishes! ”
Mu Jinxi responded, then turned her eyes, looked at Mo Qingcang and asked with a smile, "What do you think of this dish?" Are you satisfied? ”
Mo Qingcang nodded reflexively, "Satisfied, satisfied, very delicious, to my taste." ”
Mu Jinxi nodded, and said sharply: "Then I am willing to gamble and lose, give money, a total of two hundred taels of silver, thank you." ”
Mo Qingcang suddenly turned into a stone carving.
