Chapter 22 How many people are high

The tables and chairs on the second floor are more spacious than those on the first floor, and many areas are specially placed with flower and plant partitions to block them.

After looking around, Ji Wanyi chose a table near the window, walked over and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, a shopkeeper appeared next to him, poured tea for the three of them, and took out a book...... Talk book? It was placed on the table.

Seeing this, Ji Wanyi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, reached out with interest and took the notebook on the table, and said jokingly: "You little second is interesting, you only serve tea and pour water here, and don't report the name of the dish, just put a notebook, don't you let us read this book to satisfy our hunger?" ”

"Guest, you're here for the first time." Xiao Er smiled when he heard this, "Our Drunken Immortal Building is different from other places, you might as well open that 'talk book' and take a few looks." ”

These words aroused Ji Wanyi's interest even more, and she turned the first page unhurriedly.

This book can only be said to be mediocre from the outside, only in the center of the autumn word, open the first page you can know that this is not the case, and the cover is different from the first page with a different color written a whole page of place names.

"This 'word book' is actually a collection of dishes made by the shopkeeper of our Zuixian Building, which records the different specialties of each region, divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, respectively, corresponding to all the dishes that we can do in the season, as long as there are dishes on it, we can make it in Zuixianlou, of course, some dishes may need you to inform us in advance when we need it, and we need to prepare in advance."

After listening to Xiao Er's explanation, Ji Wanyi was very interested in this, and couldn't help but ask again, "Then why are these place names written in different colors?" ”

"Because there are too many dishes that we can cook in Zuixian Building, our shopkeeper writes all the dishes on the pages of different colors according to the region, so that it is convenient to order the dishes. And it's not that I'm talking big, the method of coloring the pages of this book is probably only known to our shopkeepers. The tone of Xiao Er, who mentioned the shopkeeper, became different, and his face was full of admiration.

According to Xiao Er's explanation, Ji Wanyi turned to the page that belonged to the color of the capital, and it was really the names of some dishes that Ji Wanyi had seen in the capital, and ordered a few common dishes at random, and Ji Wanyi turned the corresponding pages of several counties at random according to the prompts, and ordered a few dishes at random, and then asked Xiao Er to take the book and retreat.

Xiao Er stepped back, and he didn't speak until he picked up the ink and sighed, so I had to talk about it one sentence at a time.

"This shopkeeper is not ashamed, such a thin book dares to be called the world's dish, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue."

"Indeed, I caught a glimpse of the name of the place just now, but I wrote a lot, how can anyone really learn the dishes of so many places, it will take more than ten years to travel through these places, not to mention learn all the characteristics of others."

Ji Wanyi, who was leaning on the back of the chair on the side, listened to their condemnation, shook the folding fan in her hand, and said: "I don't think it maybe, if it is really like what you said, the first floor of this Drunken Immortal Building will not be full, since it can attract so many people, it should always have its own reason, and it is not too late for us to wait for him to serve good food." ”

Xiwen and Shimo both looked at each other and closed their mouths one after another.

After a short wait, the first course was served, and several squared golden pastries were neatly stacked on top of each other, and you could smell the faint floral fragrance just by placing them on the table.

"This is the osmanthus cake of Yangzhou County, the taste is dense and sweet but not greasy, eat the mouth and mouth, the osmanthus is dried in advance, and now the fragrance is rich, before other dishes come up, you can eat some pastries to fill your stomach."

Ji Wanyi picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite, and sure enough, as Xiao Er said, the osmanthus cake melted in the mouth, and it melted in the mouth with a light sip, and a rich osmanthus fragrance spread rapidly from the air, making people feel as if they were really under an osmanthus forest.

Next is a fish-flavored shredded meat from Shuyu County, obviously there is not a single fish meat and fish bone in the whole dish, but it can make people taste the unique umami of fish.

There is also the mushroom stewed chicken in Sunan County, the soup is clear and retains the original flavor of the mushroom and chicken to the greatest extent, the mushroom absorbs the chicken soup, the chicken is stewed crispy and delicious, and the whole dish is fresh and beautiful.

There are six or seven dishes in total, each of which is incredible, although I don't know if the specialties of other counties taste the same as the local taste, but the dishes that almost made the three of them doubt whether they returned to the capital alone are enough to show that they will definitely not be too far apart.

The three of them enjoyed a delicious meal in the Drunken Immortal Building, and it always made people lazy and didn't want to move, so Ji Wanyi invited Xiao Er to talk about the Drunken Immortal Building.

"Do you know why your shopkeeper opened the Drunken Immortal Tower in the west of this mixed city? With just these few dishes, he is enough to make a good name in the east of the city, earn more money and explain more dignitaries, but with such a skill, he is only willing to nest in this small corner, which really makes me wonder. ”

"Hui Gongzi, you don't know this, according to our shopkeeper, he wandered around for various reasons, he has been everywhere and seen everywhere, but whenever it comes to eating, it is always the most suitable taste in his hometown, but people always have to leave their hometown involuntarily, if they can eat a bite of hometown food in a different place, it must be a great luck, so our shopkeeper opened this drunken fairy building after settling down in the western suburbs."

"I guess you must have also thought about why we have so many recipes from all over the world in Zuixianlou," Xiao Er paused after speaking, and saw Ji Wanyi nod before continuing to speak, "Actually, some recipes are not from the south to the north to ask, you may not have noticed when you came in, we posted a list of begging and buying delicacies from all over the world by the door, but anyone who can provide dishes that are unique to our hometown and that we do not have in Zuixianlou can get a large bounty, and it is by collecting around in this way that we can make the restaurant's "World Cuisine Collection" Thicker and thicker. ”

Hearing this, Ji Wanyi suddenly sighed, "I see, that's why your shopkeeper opened the store in the west of the city!" Merchants in the west of the city come and go, a large number of traveling merchants from all over the world pass by every day, only in this way can more and more vegetable recipes be collected, if you are in the east of the city, you may not be able to see a vegetable recipe for more than a month. ”

"Childe is really a man of great wisdom." Xiao Er's reflection confirmed Ji Wanyi's conjecture.

After figuring it out, Ji Wanyi was extremely happy, slapped the folding fan together, and her eyes seemed to be about to emit light.

The west of the city is really a good place! It's a pity that I didn't come over earlier, and I wasted two years in vain!

But it doesn't matter. Ji Wanyi's eyes rolled, anyway, there will be more time in the future, and she has to avoid Xie Jingliang these days, which is not a good reason to run to the west of the city!
