Chapter 210: The Manchu and Han Banquets

If Zhao Zixian was suspicious of what the old man said just a few times, then Zhao Zixian would never doubt what the old man said this time. No matter what weird things the old man said, Zhao Zixian wouldn't feel weird, because the old man himself was too weird. But I still couldn't help but ask: "-Eat, how to eat?" ”

"Our gamble is that he makes all the dishes one by himself, and I have to eat them all within three minutes after he makes each dish, and if he can't do it if he has that dish, or if he doesn't do it right, he loses. And me? The old man smiled again, "If I can't finish his cooking, even if I lose." ”

Zhao Zixian obviously felt that his head was big. Who are the people of the Dark Restaurant Group, are they all monsters? I know too much about the Manchu and Han Quanxi. The Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet is a feast for the Qing Dynasty court, and it is a grand banquet created by Emperor Kangxi when he celebrated his 66th birthday, in order to promote the integration of the Manchu and Han ethnic groups, he ordered hundreds of imperial chefs to spend a month.

There are a total of 108 dishes in the Manchu and Han Dynasty, 54 in the south and 54 in the north. It is divided into three days and three nights, a total of six banquets, and hundreds of people can eat together. Moreover, many of the recipes in the court of the Qing Dynasty have been lost, and the current Manchu and Han banquets are not complete at all, and I have not heard of anyone who can make all the dishes on the Manchu and Han banquets. Such a person may not exist at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zixian felt a thought flash in his mind: Ah! If there is a recipe, there is a willingness to practice hard, if there is a kung fu on the body, it is not impossible to spend more than ten or twenty years studying hard and learning all the dishes. But--this Manchu banquet was eaten by hundreds of people for three days and three nights in a row, can this old man fit so many things in his stomach? But think about it again, the Manchu and Han full banquets, when Kangxi was on his birthday, the imperial kitchen under his command was also busy with hundreds of people for a month to finish, even if a person has the ability, it is estimated that he will have to do half a year, seven or eight months, and of course the meal is fast, just like when he went to the restaurant to eat a large plate of chicken, he had to wait for half a day, but the chicken was served, but it was solved after a while, what is so difficult about this, maybe that person makes a dish a day, eats a dish a day, it is definitely not a difficult thing.

As soon as he thought of this, the old man spoke again: "Little brother, do you know this gamble Of course, why do we have to settle that within three minutes of his cooking, I will finish this dish?" ”

"To show you the pieces you ate?" Zhao Zixian came to say.

"Wrong." The old man smiled: "On the contrary, although I eat fast, but he makes it faster, these three minutes, but I don't set it, three minutes, is the time for Suzaku to make each dish, about three minutes, if I don't finish this dish in three minutes, the next dish will be served, I will lose." ”

No way! What Suzaku makes a dish in three minutes, and this old man eats a dish in three minutes! But this seems to make sense, some people run fast, some people run slowly, through exercise and hard practice, chefs can also improve their cooking speed, if you are a first-class master, it is not impossible to make a dish in three minutes, but you have to eat a dish in three minutes. Is this a human thing? I want to eat it, but my stomach doesn't agree. Moreover, in the Manchu and Han banquets, many dishes such as fried pheasant, golden silk suckling pig, and so on are whole chickens and ducks. It takes three minutes to eat a duck, is that still a human? But thinking of this, Zhao Zixian finally figured it out, so it is, in this case, eating is indeed much more difficult than cooking.

The old man seemed to see Zhao Zixian's thoughts, and asked, "Haha, little brother, it seems that you finally understand why eating is more difficult than cooking." ”

Zhao Zixian smiled bitterly: "Well, it's difficult to eat, it's really difficult to eat." ”

The old man's eyebrows moved: "Little brother, it seems that you don't believe it." ”

How dare Zhao Zixian not believe it, his psychology is to absolutely believe what the old man said, since he knew the old man, what the old man said and did was not bizarre and weird, it was even stranger than what he encountered in Mount Tai. The old man just said that he could eat a live pig raw, and Zhao Zixian also believed it, but he was still curious about how to do it, that is, if a tiger eats a chicken, it has to be chewed for six or seven minutes, right? How could it be possible to eat a dish full of Han people in three minutes.

The old man saw Zhao Zixian's doubts, and smiled: "Little brother, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, come, I have a way today to let you see is believing and believe in this matter." ”

What's wrong with this old man, Zhao Zixian has no score in his heart, and asked, "What's the way?" ”

The old man pointed at Ding Man with his hand: "The way is in front of you, you compete with Ding Man, and you will find out during the game." ”

Zhao Zixian thought to himself, okay, it's still going around here, it seems that today's competition can't be avoided, but Zhao Zixian doesn't care about eating and cooking, he still cares more about Mu Lingshen, so he asked the old man: "Then there will be a prize in the competition, if I win, what will you give me?" ”

The old man smiled haha, "Little brother, I can see that you want this fan, although the fan is valuable and can dominate the dark dining world in Asia, but my old man has never been short of money, and he doesn't want to ask more about the things in the world now, okay, if you win, I will give you this fan." However, both sides of the gambling have to gamble, and my gambling book is put down, so what about your gambling book? After speaking, he began to stare at Zhao Zixian.

Zhao Zixian's heart was cold, and he hurriedly put his hands behind his back.

The old man laughed: "Little brother, don't be afraid, I won't want your hands, you don't have your hands, how can you cook for me." ”

"Then what do you want," Zhao Zixian asked tremblingly.

"If you lose, you won't be able to leave the God of Kitchen Hotel for the rest of your life! Cook for me during the day and gamble with me at night, and you can't leave for the rest of your life. The old man said lightly.

Zhao Zixian almost scolded in his heart, so I would rather cut off my hands, I will keep a fart, I still have a lot of wives at home waiting for me to go back to make love. Stay with you, I'd rather die. However, if I win, I can get the Wood Spirit Ginseng, and I will be one step closer to my ideals.

At this time, a person next to him walked towards him, and Zhao Zixian saw that it was not an old man, but Ding Man.

"Do you know why this hotel is called the Chef Hotel, but when you come in, it's all a casino?" Ding Man asked, and then didn't wait for Zhao Zixian to answer, of course, Zhao Zixian couldn't answer, Ding Man said to himself: "Because the Chef God Hotel is a restaurant during the day and a casino at night." But if you want to win me, it's even harder. After speaking, he looked at Zhao Zixian viciously.

The old man said again: "Ding Man, since the rules of the gambling game have been set, you all have to be the same, before I said that I want you to bet on the dice as long as you win one game with me, I will give you the Ugin fan, if you lose one game, you will stay here and cook for me for a year." Now do the math...... You're going to cook for me here for fifty years, well, your cooking isn't tasty, but it's not hard to swallow. I'm going to give you a chance today. If you can win this little brother, Ugin Fan, I'll hand it over to you right away, and let you go back to the city and dominate, but if you lose......"

Ding Man felt a chill slowly creeping up his back!

The old man smiled meaningfully: "You have to stay here for life, cook for me every day, and you can't leave for the rest of your life, but you do things with me, no one in Hengshan dares to go against you, everyone has to bow their heads to say hello when they see you, this is also a kind of enjoyment, don't be obsessed with taking the Wujin fan, return to the city, establish your own group, the catering industry in the city is not so easy to mix." Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Zixian again and said, "And you, of course, are the same." After speaking, he smiled, "In other words, no matter what the gamble is, one of you can return to the city, and the other will stay and be my lifelong chef!" ”

Zhao Zixian just heard the old man talk about gambling on dice, and thought to himself that this Ding Man and one more dice have used such treacherous tricks, and he still can't win against this old man? Then I'm out of the picture.
