The Xuanxu Daoist stood up and nodded at Lu Xiaoxian: "Is Gongzi Lu here to find the poor road?" ”

The relationship between Xuanxu Daoist and Lu Xiaoxian does not belong to the owner and the employee, and Xuanxu Daoist should be regarded as a guest chef in the restaurant. Although Lu Xiaoxian is not good at cooking, he can come up with a lot of exquisite dishes, which makes Xuanxu Daoist admire him very much, so he speaks very politely.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded and shook his head again.

Xuanxu Dao sighed and said, "When you came in just now, Master Lu, although Chen San didn't look at you, his mood had already changed. At the beginning of the knife, he could still hold his mind, but the later he went, the more impetuous his mood became, and he always wanted to finish it as soon as possible. Although this thought was extremely weak in his mind, it finally distracted his mind, and his sword speed naturally slowed down. Although I kept my eyes closed, when I heard the sound of the knife, I knew that the cucumber slices were getting thicker and thicker as they were cut. ”

"Hey, hey." Lu Xiaoxian smiled and asked, "Dao Chief, how about I choose this apprentice for you?" ”

Xuanxu Daoist glanced at Chen San and said proudly: "If he can practice according to my requirements, he should be able to become a teacher in less than a year and a half!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked at the cucumber slices piled up like a hill next to the board, and said to Xuanxu Daoist with a smile: "Daoist, you and Chen San each have a cucumber for me to taste, how about it?" ”

"No problem!" Xuanxu Daoist knew that Lu Xiaoxian was going to test himself, so he pouted at Chen Sanyi, "Take out all your craftsmanship and let Lu Gongzi taste it!" ”

Soon, Chen San and Xuanxu Dao Chang's cucumbers were mixed and placed in front of Lu Xiaoxian and Liu Qi.

Chen San used the cucumber slices he cut, while the Xuanxu Daoist simply slapped a cucumber on the case.

Lu Xiaoxian and Liu Qi tasted each other, and sure enough, the plate of cucumbers that were the head of Xuanxu Dao tasted better.

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's inquiry, Xuanxu Daoist said with a smile: "Shooting cucumbers is a home-cooked dish, and the trick is in one shot." Others were slapped with iron knives, stained with the smell of iron; And I shoot it with a wooden board, and the freshness is all there, and the gap is here. In addition, there are salt, peppers and garlic, and other people's garlic is chopped, and I took it. Others put oil and spicy seeds, and I sprinkled dried chili powder. So, the taste will be different. ”

Lu Xiaoxian was breathtaking, a real master of cooking, and it is these subtleties that are different from each other.

Xuanxu Dao Chang's words seemed to be for Lu Xiaoxian, but in fact he was saying it to Chen San.

Of course, Chen San understood the mind of the Xuanxu Daoist, and listened carefully with sincerity and convincingness.

Xuanxu Dao Chang glanced at Chen San, and then said: "For example, stewed meat, most people only pay attention to the heat and seasonings, but in fact, the real key is on the lid. This is definitely worse without a lid, an iron lid is definitely worse than a wooden lid, and the lid of a general miscellaneous wood is definitely worse than a metasequoia lid. The new lid of the metasequoia wood is far inferior to the old pot lid that has been used for a lifetime, and the incense of the hundred-year-old soup is all hidden in this wood. The heat is steaming, and it is forced back by the lid of the pot, so that the fragrance of the spices can penetrate deep into the meat. ”

Listening to Xuanxu Daoist talk about cooking is simply a pleasure, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly felt hungry, he said curtly: "Dao Chief, listening to you say this, I feel hungry!" ”

Xuanxu Daoist smiled at Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, let's do it, I'll cook a dish for you alone, I promise you haven't eaten it!" ”

After that, the Xuanxu Dao Chief's body, which was extremely lazy just now, suddenly became as light as Ling Bo's slight steps. I saw him shuttling around, selecting a few in the cabbage pile like a concubine, and waving the kitchen knife, revealing a few tender yellow cabbage hearts.

Then, he picked up a few pieces of pork rinds placed randomly behind the board, burned them on the fire to remove the miscellaneous hairs, and then quickly poured a pot of vegetable oil into the pot, boiled it, threw in the pork skin, and in a blink of an eye, it exploded out of the goose yellow like shrimp chips, and burst out of the bubble eyes and swelled into several large pieces, which were completely unrecognizable as pigskin.

Xuanxu Dao Chang scooped up the pigskin and soaked it in cold water, which became soft after a while, and then cut it into long strips with a quick knife; Then boil water and simmer, then add salt, put in the choy sum, simmer, remove from the pot, and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

A pot of cabbage soup with white and tender yellow flesh skin was magically completed under Lu Xiaoxian's eyelids.

Xuanxu Daoist took a bite first, frowned and sighed: "I haven't made this dish for a long time, my hands are a little raw, and Lu Gongzi can only settle for it!" ”

Xuanxu Daoist asked Chen San to serve a bowl of rice to Lu Xiaoxian and Liu Qi, and the two of them were not polite to eat it.

What a plain and elegant dish, the meat skin is soft and elastic, there is no meat, the cabbage heart is tender and smooth, and the bitterness is sweet......

Out of the back hall, Lu Xiaoxian was still reminiscing about the food just now, and Liu Qi followed him and didn't speak.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoxian stopped, he turned his head to look at Liu Qi: "Shopkeeper Liu, how are you preparing for the opening?" ”

Earlier, Liu Qi was in a hurry to open, but Lu Xiaoxian thought that the preparations were not sufficient, and the time was not yet yet, so he kept pressing and not letting him move. Later, Lu Xiaoxian completely convinced Liu Qi through Xuanxu Daoist, and made him understand that there are still many things to be done in preparation for the opening. But now, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly brought up the opening again, which made Liu Qi a little confused.

He muttered, "It's still in the process of preparation, try to be as good as possible!" ”

"Almost, find a good day, let's open in two days!" Lu Xiaoxian said bluntly.

"Huh? Opening in two days? Liu Qi didn't know why Lu Xiaoxian was in a hurry to open the business, and reminded carefully, "Isn't it a little too anxious, didn't you say that you want to be foolproof?" ”

"I'm a little too anxious!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "At this time and that time, it won't be long before I have to go out for a long time, and I must finish the opening of the business before leaving!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian wants to go far away?

Liu Qi looked at him in surprise, I don't know why he wanted to go far away, where he was going.

Liu Qi knows the relationship between the owner and his partner, and he can do his part, and he won't take the initiative to ask what the owner doesn't want to say.

Lu Xiaoxian is not joking, he is indeed planning a long trip, and the destination is Taozhou. Luoyang is thousands of miles away from Taozhou, of course, it can be regarded as a long away.

According to the history of the Tang Dynasty that Lu Xiaoxian knew about in later generations, it would not be long before the Tubo would send a large army to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Xiaojie would go out to defend against the Tubo army by holy order.

Lu Xiaoxian planned to go on the expedition with Wang Xiaojie out of two considerations.

On the one hand, he wanted to understand the actual situation of the Tang army, and later historians had mixed opinions on the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty, some said that wars with foreign races were rarely won and vulnerable, and some said that they were extremely powerful and could not compete. Without investigation, there is no voice, and he must experience it himself before he can make a judgment.

On the other hand, he wanted to understand the situation of the Tubo army, after all, Tubo is the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty at present, and only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated.

Because of this, before leaving, Lu Xiaoxian must first let Yonghe Building officially open to ensure the smooth operation of the restaurant before he can go to the border with peace of mind.

……

Counting spring, summer, autumn and winter, May is the most beautiful. May has entered the early summer, which is a season of growth and vitality.

On the eighth day of the first month of May, it is advisable to collect, open the market, trade, enter the house, and sacrifice, and avoid building bridges, crowns, houses, and digging wells.

On this morning, a restaurant in the bustling area of Chengnan City, Luoyang, opened the curtain of rewards amid the noisy music of gongs and drums.

The original name of the restaurant opened was "Yonghe Building", and now the new name is "Autumn Wind Break". The opening of "Autumn Wind Break" brought an unexpected delicacy to the southern market in early summer in May.

Unlike other restaurants, "Autumn Wind Break" not only erects five wine banners high outside the gate, but also hangs a huge plaque above the entrance to the hall. The three words "Autumn Wind Breaking" on the plaque are charming and vigorous, and they really deserve to be "floating like floating clouds, like a frightened dragon", "dragon jumping over the gate of heaven, and the tiger lying in the Phoenix Pavilion". It is said that the person who wrote the inscription was Cui Xiang, a famous genius in Luoyang City.

At this moment, the opening scene of "Autumn Wind Breaking" is like this: people, people, from, from, many, many, many......

The crowd was full of people, and the great enthusiasm of the guests was ignited by something, let alone what attracted them.

There are so many people who come to eat that the restaurant can't accommodate it at all. Many people had to sit outside the door and wait for their seats, and a neatly dressed Xiao Er was handing out number plates to the waiting guests. Don't underestimate the role of this license plate, once the restaurant is vacated, the guests with the license plate can enter the restaurant in the order of the license plate, and those who do not have the license plate can only stare dryly, and there is silver. It can be seen how popular "Autumn Wind Break" is.

Every table in the lobby of the restaurant is full, and the four people in front of a square table in the corner are very leisurely, which forms a great contrast with the restraint and hurry of other diners.

Wang Haibin glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, who was sitting opposite: "Master Lu, if it weren't for your light, I really don't know how to entertain distinguished guests!" ”

Wang Haibin is telling the truth, he is really stained with Lu Xiaoxian's light, not only does he not use a license plate, he eats and drinks for free, and he does not have a time limit. You must know that the guests at other tables have time limits, and they have to leave at an hour to make room for the guests outside, and Wang Haibin does not have to think about how long it will take to eat.

Since Wang Haibin asked to come to the door, of course Lu Xiaoxian would not refuse, he was the owner of the restaurant, and this matter was just a gesture for him

The guests in Wang Haibin's mouth are sitting on the left and right sides of Lu Xiaoxian at the moment. They are father and son, the father's name is Hatred Water, and the son's name is Qiu Tao.

After listening to Wang Haibin's words, Hated Water also thanked Lu Xiaoxian very politely, and Lu Xiaoxian also smiled and nodded at the other party politely.

Hate Shui is about forty years old, and Qiu Tao is about the same age as Lu Xiaoxian. The father and son are both very burly, especially Qiu Tao's appearance is very handsome, if it weren't for the fact that his face is red because of the frequent wind and sun, his beauty can be completely comparable to Zhang Yizhi.
