Suddenly, the sound of chopping vegetables, pouring water, the sound of firewood crackling, and the sound of iron spoons and pots colliding in the open space came and went, so lively.

The chefs were busy cooking, and Cai Jing and the guests were not idle, sitting there tasting wine, talking and laughing, of course, the topic was still inseparable from wine and food.

In fact, this time Cai Jing held a crab roe banquet, just for food, and he didn't want to mix too many political factors in it, so he didn't invite predators like Wang Huang, Gao Yu, and Liang Shicheng, he knew very well in his heart that if these people came, this crab roe banquet would definitely change its taste, maybe it would be another political confrontation, besides, Wang Huang and they were all busy forming gangs now, and they didn't have time to come here to participate in any crab roe banquet.

The people sitting here now are also some foodies who are usually very knowledgeable about eating, and the size of the grade is secondary, of course, no matter how low it is, it will not be low.

"Boqing, I heard that you went to the Drunken Immortal Residence last time, and you also tasted the 'boiling water song leaves'?" Cai Jing suddenly asked Zuo Boqing, his tone was very flat.

When Zuo Boqing heard this, his expression was stunned, and his heart suddenly brightened, knowing that Cai Jing didn't deliberately want to punish Li Qi, but just wanted to scare him, and said, "Yes, I did go to the Drunken Immortal Residence a few days ago. ”

Cai Jing smiled slightly: "But I don't know what the taste of that boiling water song leaf is?" ”

Zuo Boqing nodded and said: "It can definitely be called a delicacy, and I am ashamed to say it." I still haven't figured out how to make that dish. ”

"Oh? can make you so distressed, it seems that that kid does have some ability. Cai Jing nodded with a smile.

Cai Qian on the side didn't care, and said: "Master Zuo, you are too humble, I see that kid is young, no matter how high his cooking skills are, he can't be high." ”

Zuo Boqing smiled and nodded, but did not answer.

Cai Jing glanced at Cai Qian slightly. His expression was slightly displeased, but he didn't say anything, and said with a slight smile: "Since Boqing has a lot of praise for that boiling water songye." The old man wanted to try it too. After a pause, he said to Zuo Boqing again: "In this way, you seem to be more optimistic about that kid." ”

Zuo Boqing shook his head and said, "This." Bo Qing didn't dare to make judgments. ”

Suddenly, I heard the first person on the right: "In my opinion, it must be Zhang Niangzi of the Fan Building who wins." ”

This person is the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhao Ye.

This person has very strong communication skills, and he is also a source of left and right in the court, and he is mixed with wind and water, when Cai Jing and Wang Huang alternated, except for him who won the trust of the two, no one could please both sides like him.

And he is a regular customer of Fan Lou, of course he hopes that Zhang Niangzi can win.

I heard another person: "Zhao Shangshu's words are bad, just in terms of cooking skills." I think that Cai Minde of Jade Xuan and that lady Zhang are only between the best, and it is not certain who will win. ”

This person is Wu Min in the matter, he has known Cai Jing for a long time, and. At the beginning, Cai Jing still had the grace of knowing him, and he pulled him up with one hand. At that time, Cai Minde was still working as a cook in the Taishi Mansion, so he naturally preferred Cai Minde.

Zhao Zhi was not convinced, and arched his hand towards Cai Jing, saying, "I don't know who the prime minister thinks will win?" ”

Cai Jing stroked his beard. Shaking his head, he said: "These two are both skilled cooks, and there are rising stars like Master Li, the old man thinks that he will have to wait until he has tasted the delicacies they have made before he can judge." ”

"What Eun Xiang said is very true." Wu Min said

On the other hand, Li Qi had already wrapped the tofu in lotus leaves and bamboo slices, put it in a stew pot, and then placed it on the stove, and the next thing they had to do was to control the heat.

Li Qi and Wu Xiaoliu squatted by the stove, sweating profusely, looking like they were hurting, which may be the most relaxing for the two of them.

"Brother Li, I just secretly glanced at the materials prepared by Cai Yuanwai, tsk, what did you say I saw?" Wu Xiaoliu said.

Li Qi was not interested in any of these at all, and asked lightly, "What did you see?" ”

"Eggs."

Wu Xiaoliu said with a gossip on his face: "There are a lot of eggs." ”

"Eggs?"

Li Qi was surprised: "What egg? ”

"I don't know this very well, anyway, there are a lot of eggs, and the crab is also the eldest one, in my opinion, it seems to be transported from the sea." Wu Xiaoliu said enviously.

Li Qi was puzzled: "Is what your kid said true?" How much silver does it cost to bring it from the seashore? ”

"How do I know this, anyway, Cai Yuanwai is not short of money."

Wu Xiaoliu said more and more, and said: "Also, Brother Li, I also saw that Zhang Niangzi prepared a hen, and the ancient master of Panlou prepared a big winter melon, counting, it belongs to our materials are the most cold, a piece of tofu, a river fish, some soybeans, and a few river crabs. ”

When Li Qi heard the board, his heart was shocked, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Do you have a good word in your kid's mouth?" Do you have to see Lao Tzu hit the board to be happy? MD, sue you, if Lao Tzu's ass suffers, you kid won't have a good life. ”

Wu Xiaoliu pursed his lips and said, "Don't, I'm not worried about you." ”

"Lao Tzu, do you need to worry, this dish hasn't been served yet, you kid will do everything here to pour cold water, I knew this, I should have brought the pillar brother here in the first place." Richie didn't have a good airway.

Wu Xiaoliu stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to talk back anymore, afraid that Li Qi would put him in the cold palace from now on

Time is fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, noon will pass.

The delicacies carefully prepared by the twenty chefs have also been baked, and suddenly, bursts of aroma emanate from the huts, which is so tempting.

A series of delicacies made of crab roe were placed on the low table of Cai Jing and the guests, such as what kind of baihua crab roe tripe, crab roe lobster dumplings, turtle crab bucket, etc., it was really full of dazzling and beautiful.

The guests were very happy and happy to eat, but Cai Jing had these dishes. He only nodded slightly, and didn't make too many evaluations, but Zuo Boqing gave his own evaluations one by one, but so far, there doesn't seem to be a dish that he is very satisfied with.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen dishes had been served, although they were not appreciated much. But it's also decent, and for those chefs, it's already a job done.

After all, there are Zhang Niangzi and Guda behind. and Cai Minde, the masters of these masters, they don't dare to have too many thoughts about this crab roe banquet.

Next will be Liu Yongfu from Yang Lou, the dish he made today. It's called 'sea cucumber'.

Sea cucumber, as the name suggests, is made of sea cucumber and crab roe. The key to his dish is that the sea cucumber and crab roe are completely separated, some seasonings such as sea cucumber and cooking wine are fried in an oil pot until golden brown, and the crab roe is made of crab meat, corn, pumpkin, etc., and finally the crab roe soup is poured directly on the sea cucumber.

Sea cucumbers. Just like gold bars, the gold is shining and exciting.

Cai Jing tasted it, nodded and said, "It's soft and mellow, and the taste is delicious." Not bad, not bad. This was the first time he had spoken up to praise.

Zuo Boqing also nodded and glanced at Liu Yongfu approvingly.

When Liu Yongfu heard Cai Jing praise his dishes for being delicious, his excited hands were trembling.

Next it was the turn of Guda of Pan Tower.

When Guda brought out the dish, everyone exclaimed.

But what was on the plate was a fan made of jade, and the grip of the fan was dark red. The body of the fan is pale green, with some earthy yellow patterns on it, and the tassel at the top is gray, and the whole fan is crystal clear and luxurious.

"Is this a dish?"

"What is this fan made of, how is it like jade?"

Cai Jing was also very curious and asked, "Master Gu, what are you using for this dish?" ”

Guda replied: "If you go back to the Taishi, the villain's 'crab yellow jade fan' is made of winter melon. ”

"Winter melon?"

Everyone shouted in unison again, they could never have imagined that this gorgeous fan was actually made of winter melon, which was really incredible.

Even Li Qi was secretly surprised, secretly thinking that this person was not good-looking, and he also looked like a reckless man, and the knife work was so powerful, it was really blinding, it seemed that I underestimated this chef of the Northern Song Dynasty.

After the introduction, Guda took out the turquoise part in the middle with a knife, put it in a bowl, and presented it to Cai Jing and the guests.

When everyone saw him cut this fan with a knife, they were still a little unbearable in their hearts.

Zhao Ye saw that Gu Da only took the middle part, but the red grip and the gray part on the top did not move at all, and said strangely: "Master Gu, could it be that you only eat the middle part of this dish?" ”

Guda nodded, "Not bad." The rest is just for the villains to decorate. ”

"I see."

In fact, the reason why this topaz fan can be fake and real, the key is that everyone just watched from a distance, and did not look closely, after the maid presented the small bowl on the low table in front of everyone, everyone took a closer look, and then suddenly realized that the blue-green object in the bowl is not a winter melon, and the middle of the winter melon has been hollowed out in half, and there are some patterns made of some earthy yellow clay.

Zuo Boqing asked, "Master Gu, what's in this winter melon?" ”

Guda said: "This is made by the villain with some ingredients such as crab roe, mushrooms, egg whites, winter melon juice, etc., together with the winter melon, the basket is simmered, and then poured on the soup." ”

"I see."

Zuo Boqing nodded and praised: "Master Gu is ingenious, and he can carve a lifelike jade fan with only winter melon, which is really amazing." ”

Cai Jing laughed and said: "If you want to talk about knife skills, who can compare to you Zuo Boqing." ”

"It's too much of a teacher." Zuo Boqing smiled modestly.

Because of the visual impact in front of it, and then tasting this 'crab topaz fan', everyone is naturally full of praise for this dish.

Gu Da's face showed joy, and he glanced at Cai Minde and the others behind him proudly.

However, Li Qi, Cai Minde and the lady all looked disdainful.

It was Cai Minde's turn to appear next, but he was presented with an egg as small as a shot put, smooth and clear on the outside, and the sun shone on it, and the side was decorated with flowers carved from vegetables and fruits, which was very strange.

Cai Jing had never seen such a big egg in his life, and asked curiously: "Minde, what is the name of your dish?" ”

"Back to the master, the villain's dish is called 'Jade Pearl', which is made with twenty quail eggs, twenty eggs, twenty duck eggs, as well as crab roe, ham, and pumpkin."

When Cai Jing heard this, he was even more surprised in his heart, and asked, "Then how is this dish made?" ”

Cai Minde replied: "The villain first took out the egg whites of the sixty eggs, stirred well, put them into the washed pork belly, sealed the pork belly, and then soaked it in the soup, kept turning the pork belly, and then poured the prepared egg yolks such as crab roe, pumpkin, ham, and rice wine into the pork belly, and then soaked it in the soup and rotated until it was cooked. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

After hearing this, Zuo Boqing shook his head and praised.

Cai Jing glanced at Zuo Boqing and said, "Boqing, what do you think of this dish?" ”

Zuo Boqing said: "Back to the Taishi, Master Cai's dish, if there is no twenty years of hard work, it will not be able to be done, he poured the egg white into the pork belly, and then put it into the soup to turn, it sounds very easy, in fact, it is not, this turn must be fast, and there can be no pause in the middle, the purpose is to make the egg white even, layer by layer on the inside of the pork belly, the middle seems to be hollow, to do this, it is not easy, and Master Cai can think of using pumpkin with crab roe, it is also very thoughtful. ”

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

When Li Qi heard this, he secretly admired it in his heart, in fact, even if Zuo Boqing didn't say it, he had already thought of the key to this dish.

After Cai Minde cut the big egg, the egg white inside was really as Zuo Boqing said, with clear layers, and the "egg yolk" was like the sun in the morning, red and tempting.

Afterwards, the maidservant presented the sliced eggs to the guests.

After Cai Qian tasted it, he immediately praised: "This egg white also has ginseng soup in it, which tastes more sweet and refreshing, good, good." ”

Wu Min nodded and said: "And this egg yolk melts in your mouth, and pumpkin is added to it, and it doesn't taste so greasy, it's very good, I like this 'Jade Pearl' very much." ”

The rest of the people nodded their heads in applause.

Cai Jing heard everyone's appreciation, his face showed a look of relief, he also tasted it, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Cai Minde: "Minde, I didn't expect that over the years, your cooking skills have grown a lot." ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

Cai Minde bowed down and said, "Although the villain has been away from the Taishi Mansion for more than ten years, the villain has always regarded himself as a person from the Taishi Mansion, hoping that one day he will be able to cook for the master again." ”

When Cai Jing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said: "I still remember the first time you cooked for me to eat, when you were only in your twenties, and in a blink of an eye, you and I were both old." ”

Although the status of the cook is not good today, Cai Jing is the first foodie in the Northern Song Dynasty, loves the house and Wu, and still attaches more importance to this cook, except for the palace, it is the highest treatment of the cook in his house.

"The lord has the blessing of God, and he will live a long life."

Cai Minde knelt on the ground and said with a hint of choking.

Depend on! Are you here to cook, or are you here to recognize your father?

Li Qi saw this old fox playing the family card, and secretly scolded him for being shameless. (To be continued)
