Chapter Seventy-Three: Linjiang Tower
Linjiang Building is a three-storey high wooden building, golden beams and columns, not the gold paint of the brush, but with a kind of wood called golden sandalwood, which is born golden and has a little sandalwood, although this thing is in Shu, but it is sold by catties, I heard that it is five taels of silver a catty, if it is shipped out of Bashu to reach the Shendu, the price can be at least ten times higher.
Just looking at these golden sandalwood beams and pillars that are no less than 10,000 catties, Wu Zheng has an urge to find a knife, and if he can rip out a pound of wood from it, it is five taels of silver! Even if you can't cut out a catty, it's not bad to be able to cut out chopsticks and make a golden sandalwood hairpin!
"Brother Wu, don't look at this golden sandalwood, the ordinary knife can't be sharpened, if there is an axe, you can make do with it and see if you can deduct a little."
Qin Xiang looked at Wu Zheng's appearance and laughed, but Wu Zheng didn't think it was insulting at all, pointed to the mortise and tenon of the pillar and said: "Who said that you must use a knife to sharpen, I can use the handle of the knife to knock out a wooden wedge and sell it for four or five taels!" ”
Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Eh! That Brother Wu, I didn't say. However, I heard that the backstage boss of this Linjiang Building is not small, so you have to be careful when you knock on someone's wooden wedge. ”
Seinfeld said, "Xianggong, this wood is so valuable?" ”
Wu Zheng smiled slightly: "Now we know how earthy we are!" Seven thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money for us, but for some people, it is just some pillars and beams. ”
Hearing Wu Zheng say this, Song Fei'er couldn't help but look at the pillar in front of her, especially the wooden wedge at the mortise and tenon joint that Wu Zheng just said, she felt that the thing didn't need to be knocked with a knife handle, and she could deduct him out with her own hands.
Qin Xiang saw that these two people were really not a family and did not enter the door, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Wu, don't look at it, let's go in!" ”
"Brother Qin, please!"
When the three of them entered the building, there was a warm little two who came up to greet the guests, Qin Xiang asked for a private room on the second floor, and when the three of them sat down, a maid dressed in green sent the recipe.
The recipe is inlaid with gold, which makes Wu Zheng curiously touch the gold thread on it, it is really a gold thread, just a recipe is made like this, so the dishes in it ......
Wu Zheng just opened the recipe and glanced at it, then said to Qin Xiang: "Are you sure you want to invite us to eat here?" ”
Qin Xiang said with a smile: "Why does Brother Wu also have a time to save money for others?" ”
Wu Zheng closed the recipe and said: "I don't want to save you money, I'm afraid that my mouth will be short, if you ask me for the recipe for salted fish, I'm afraid that I won't be able to refuse!" ”
Qin Xiang smiled: "Brother Wu, don't worry, today we only talk about salted fish and not about recipes, so Brother Wu shouldn't be polite to Qin." ”
Wu Zheng smiled: "Since that's the case, then I'm not welcome." ”
handed the recipe to the maid and said: "Four seasons Chengxiang will give us a set, and we will get a point for these three signature dishes that fly in the sky and swim in the water." ”
Hearing Wu Zheng's words, the maid couldn't help but be surprised, because in her opinion, these two guys are two people who do salted fish business, and salted fish for five cents a pound is not a big business, and it is the cheapest meal to eat in this Linjiang Building, but this guy actually ordered the most expensive Four Seasons Chengxiang in Linjiang Building, but it is still a set, when Lord Thorn Shi feasted Yuzhou hundred officials here to wash the dust of Xia Gong, so many people only came to one set, and the three of you dare to eat like this?
Forget it, and you have to fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water to have a signature dish, isn't this a bit too much?
Thinking of this, the maid holding the recipe couldn't help but look at Qin Xiang, and kept giving him a look, looking at her, she seemed to be very ashamed of Wu Zheng's way of ordering, and she had a very kind of look like she wanted to give Qin Xiang a grievance.
The maid really made Wu Zheng feel very embarrassed, didn't she just order the signature dish in your restaurant, do you need to save money for others with such bitterness and hatred?
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "This girl, since Brother Wu appreciates his face today, you should hurry up and ask the cook to serve the food!" I heard that the river gorge in your Linjiang Building is steaming well, so let's drink this wine today. ”
"Childe, are you sure?" The maid asked with a look of regret.
Qin Xiang smiled slightly: "When did I Qin Xiang talk and not count?" Let's go and serve! ”
Three people and eight dishes, set up a big table, because the dishes are white jade plates, I have to say that the chefs of this era really don't think about whether the guests will waste the problem, just the eight basin-like basins on the table, each plate is full, it seems that what they want is a good atmosphere.
There is a appearance, there is a meaning, the chef's knife skills are also very good, it is this method but it is single, there are only two ways to make eight dishes, in addition to boiling is steaming, so these eight dishes give Wu Zheng the feeling that in addition to looking good, Wu Zheng really dare not compliment this taste.
But thinking that there are still a lot of spices lying in the pharmacy in this era, Wu Zheng doesn't care so much.
Qin Xiang saw that Wu Zheng was not in the smoke of eating, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the matter, Brother Wu, isn't this dish not in line with Brother Wu's taste?" ”
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "It's so-so, it's okay, it's such a dish, the price is two hundred taels, I really feel a little bad for Brother Qin." ”
"This ...... Brother Wu said something presumptuous, could it be that Brother Wu has eaten a better dish than this? ”
"Of course, you can see that this table full of dishes is not even fried except for boiling or steaming, and it is okay to fry it if it is not fried! Let's just say this pheasant, this chicken piece is cut to the same size, but at least it has to be oiled first, and it is fragrant when it is cooked! No seasoning, forget it, this steamed Changyu has to say that such a big little brother is really the first time to see, but it was all ruined by soy sauce, steamed with some ginger and green onions, of course, a little garlic and soy sauce actually tastes good, but you don't need to take soy sauce to soak it? Do you say I'm here to eat fish or soy sauce? ”
Seeing that Wu Zheng became more and more excited, Qin Xiang couldn't help but look embarrassed, because his family was the major shareholder of Linjiang Building, which entered the gold today, and the cooks here were all disciples trained by the old imperial chef in the palace back then.
But now after listening to Wu Zheng's meal, he could only smile awkwardly: "I can't imagine that Brother Wu is still an expert in the way of food, and there must be a lot of delicacies to come to Brother Wu." ”
Wu Zheng shook his head and smiled: "If I say that I have indeed eaten a lot of food in my dreams, do you believe it?" ”
Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Brother Wu is really funny when he speaks, since the food is not palatable, then let's drink more wine, this river gorge double steamed is a rare wine, Brother Wu must taste it!" ”
Speaking of this wine, Wu Zheng couldn't help but slander in his heart, listening to the name of this wine also has a double steam, but he didn't know how they were steamed, and the taste of the double steaming was still the same as beer, but he could only say this in his heart, and he couldn't say it clearly, he didn't see the embarrassed face of Qin Xiang now, and he still put his face when he said it.
The two of them raised their glasses and drank for a while, and Wu Zheng smiled while adding wine: "I also ate and drank this dish today, Brother Qin, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly!" ”
