Night fell quietly, and Xilin City, which has been prone to frequent bloodbaths recently, also seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Shen Gui, who originally planned to enter the city at night to commit a bloody case, followed the scarred man Lu Tai at this time, and stopped at the top restaurant in Xilin City-Baoyuan Building. This Baoyuan Building has an excellent geographical location, and the neighbor to the door is the entire Xilin City, which is the entire Luxi generation of the emperor of the Confucian Academy.

Lu Tai looked up at the gold-lettered signboard on a blue background hanging in front of the door, and said to Shen Gui behind him:

"If Young Master Shen doesn't plan to take off the head of the underneath, then you and I will end up here."

Shen Gui smiled, patted the scabbard on his waist and said:

"My family's big shaman mother-in-law's favor, you still owe it. As for the debt between the two of us, this time it will be paid off; If I run into it again next time, your head won't be so strong. ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Gui raised his legs and stepped into the brightly lit front hall of Baoyuan Building.

There are three floors up and down the Baoyuan Building, there are only a number of tea houses in the front hall on the first floor, and the rest of the places are some flowers and birds antiques. But at this moment, this is a top restaurant specializing in regular customer business. Looking up, the spiral staircase leads directly to the center of the second floor, with the special pattern of the octagonal building, there are many scattered seats that can overlook the landscape in the window, but now they are all empty; At the entrance of the spiral staircase leading to the third floor, there are two thin and ordinary women standing, the expressions on their faces are numb and flat, which makes people feel very disturbed!

The two thin girls watched Shen Gui come forward, their eyes only glanced at his hidden thunderous left sleeve and the Spring Rain Sword behind him, and then moved out of the staircase, without saying a word halfway.

The service attitude is extremely bad!

Shen Gui muttered nonsense in his heart as he stepped up the steps of the three stairs with full vigilance.

The third floor of the entire Baoyuan Building turned out to be a magnificent whole floor of boxes; If you look due north, you can see the Confucian Academy across the street. After Shen Gui looked around at the scenery, he sat alone at the square table with two pairs of dishes and chopsticks; He looked up at the dome of the octagonal tower, and felt a little lonely and sad in his heart.

In addition to a teapot on the square table, there are also sour tangerine peel plums, sweet golden silk dates, spicy mustard vegetable mounds, and bitter honey-stained lotus hearts. Shen Gui simply had nothing to do, so he pinched a little bit of everything and tasted the taste, and found that although the dried fruits were ordinary, they were all excellent products. Then he picked up the teapot again, poured himself a cup of pale yellow tea soup and pecked it lightly......

After drinking a sip of tea soup, Shen Guicai was surprised to find that the teapot with beeswax under it turned out to be the housekeeping skill of Confucian cuisine on Ludong Road - three sets of soup!

The so-called three sets of soup are made of hen, duck and ham as the main ingredients, and three different processes of ingredients are used to hang out three kinds of broth; After that, the three kinds of broth are fused into one, supplemented by two forms of meat puree accessories in red meat velvet and white meat velvet, to absorb excess oil and impurities in the soup, so that the soup color looks as clear and translucent as a bowl of tea soup; But when you drink it in your mouth, the soup is mellow and delicious, enough to make any gourmet's heart intoxicated.

However, hanging soup is a basic skill, and although the technique is not difficult, the process of concocting it is extremely lengthy; In addition, this three sets of soup are actually mixed into a bowl of three kinds of broth, so even if you only use a simple addition, it is impossible to start preparing it after Shen Gui agreed to go to the banquet!

After all, in today's Huayu Continent, there is no soup stock killer - monosodium glutamate.

Being in the three-story box representing the round sky, tasting the four flavors of life, and then drinking this three sets of soups representing heaven, earth and water, the category of today's banquet is ready to come out - orthodox Confucian cuisine.

Fire is the origin of human civilization, and it is the ultimate meaning of Huayu's diet. Ludong cuisine, with the unique technique of heat control, crowns the Huayu continent. However, today's Confucian banquet is the only banquet pedigree that can be called famous in the entire Ludong Road and even the north of the Huajiang River. Even the top state banquets in the Zijin Palace of Beiyan are now in charge of the masters of the Confucian faction.

With a cup of three sets of soup in the stomach, the cold breath inhaled in the stomach on a night road is also completely neutralized; One of the maids, with an indifferent expression, stepped forward with a cold face, holding a teapot in one hand and a spittoon in the other, and slammed into front of Shen Gui, making a piercing sound.

Get! After this aunt and grandmother stirred it so much, the previous soup was considered to be a white drink.

A cup of nectar enters the throat, diluting the delicious aftertaste of the soup wrapped around the tongue. Shen Gui spat the residual tea into the spittoon, and gave the equally unhappy woman a blank look with great dissatisfaction; And in the next moment, another girl came over with a plate of "pot collapse Bazhen tofu" and threw it on the table with a bang! I don't know if it's because her hands are very measured, or because this celadon plate with a picture of finding plum blossoms in the snow is of enough hard quality; Even though it made such a loud noise, not even a drop of the sauce was spilled off the plate!

Next, a series of Confucian dishes with full pot atmosphere were served by these two service staff with an extremely bad attitude: fresh fish belly and sheep, carrying children to the palace, braised hoof tendons, fried prawns, golden silk sea crab, osmanthus shark fin, peony blood bird's nest, green onion roasted sea cucumber and so on......

It only took about half an hour for these workmanship, materials, cooking, and skills to be top-notch Confucian dishes, and they were served on the table by two cold-faced girls with top light skills in turn. The appearance of the dishes is flawless, but Shen Gui is really a little awkward. It wasn't until a pot of charcoal stove with old wine was pushed to the side of the square table that the two unhappy aunts and grandmothers left the Baoyuan Building completely.

Without those two military judges here to supervise the battle, Shen Gui, who went to the meeting alone, relaxed a little. Since he went south to the East Customs, he has rarely eaten this kind of top-level noodles! Even if he still has big things in his heart now, he still has to eat his stomach before he can send others on the road!

"Ahem, my family invited you to dinner, but you moved your chopsticks first?"

Just as Shen Gui picked up the chopsticks, a familiar voice came from downstairs; Immediately afterwards, the other party's footsteps climbed the stairs and soon appeared at the position of the spiral staircase; Shen Gui looked back and saw that the person who came was a thin and elegant middle-aged man; He untied the white cloth kitchen skirt around his waist, and walked unhurriedly to the copper basin stand in the corner, and began to use the soaphorn water in the basin to remove the oil from his hands.

Thousands of miles away from home is a great blessing in life! As soon as Shen Gui saw Song Xingzhou appear, he was so happy that he almost jumped up! Along the way, they are eating and drinking, and every time he doesn't eat well, he misses Master Song who is in charge of the stove in Qinghe Building in Yanjing City. Now that the concern in his heart has become a reality, how can he not be excited?

"The person who invited me to dinner, the score is too big! But for the sake of him being able to invite you, the great god, to Xilin Mansion, I won't pursue it anymore! He loves to come or not, we haven't seen each other for a long time, first fill my stomach, and then drink a few pots of wine, and talk about it...... By the way, the two little ancestors are gone, and there is still a spare bar on the third floor? ”

Song Xingzhou pointed to a wooden square cabinet in the corner, and said a dialect to Shen Gui:

"It's hard to build!"

After Shen Gui listened, he caught a fried prawn with a pair of chopsticks: the crispy skin full of heat, the sweet and sour sauce, and the tight and delicate top-quality prawn meat, which simply moved Shen Gui to cry.

The chef loves the cat's tongue the most, and Song Xingzhou has just been in charge of the kitchen himself, and he has no appetite when he is choked by the smoke. So he just drank by himself, listened to Shen Guilian's criticism, and occasionally expressed some of his own unique opinions. The so-called wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and a pot of Shou Mei spring wine in season has helped the two confidants who have not met for a long time to promote sex, and they drank until the end, and Shen Gui, who had a round belly, could only be forced to give up tonight's action. After all, if you have to walk hard, it is really not convenient to fight with people.

Shen Gui raised his head and drank a cup of Shou Mei Chun, which was warm to half hot, and asked with a puzzled voice:

"I can't live in Yanjing City, why did I come to this ghost place?"

Song Xingzhou also tasted his own craftsmanship, and then nodded with satisfaction:

"I'm a native of Ludong, what else can I say when I go back to my hometown?"

"When you go back to your hometown, who is in charge of the stove in Qinghelou? Could it be that you had a dispute with the Gu couple? ”

As Shen Gui said, since Gu Jie and Su Yiqing took down Qinghe Building, they invited Song Xingzhou, who worked odd jobs everywhere to take charge of the kitchen. Although Master Song's craftsmanship is one in a million, his temper is also very eccentric, and he often falls out with the restaurant owner completely for some puzzling trivial things, otherwise, he would not live this kind of upside-down life.

As for the Gu family couple, they are originally from the rivers and lakes, not only have a broader mind, but also have seen countless weirdos of all kinds, so they naturally don't care about Master Song's loneliness and weirdness; In addition, there is also a friend from both sides, Shen Gui, from which he is matched, Song Xingzhou also got off this errand and settled down in Qinghe Building in Yanjing City.

However, it has not been long since he has been in charge of the back kitchen of Qinghe Building, and he can't teach apprentices who can substitute for the class at all; So now that he has returned to his hometown, how can the business of the Gu family and his wife continue to be done?

Moreover, he clearly remembered that this Song Xingzhou was originally bullied and suppressed by the Confucian school, which finally led to the negative qi and resolutely decided to go north; In the end, he chose the three roads in the cold and snowy and the lack of materials; Otherwise, with his craftsmanship, he will not be able to eat anywhere. After all, the ghost place on Youbei Third Road, after winter every year, as long as the heavy snow is covered, it is simply a cook's nightmare!

Since he was squeezed away by these villagers, why did he come to this sad place now to save any bullshit relatives?

Could it be that this Song Xingzhou is also the same as himself, and he came to seek revenge from the Confucian school?
