Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Gourmets of the Warring States Period (Part II)
There was no golden light, no moving music, and no bursting clothes due to the mixed medicine in the aroma, just a burst of steam, which whitened everyone's faces.
At this time, Zhaoyun really wanted to match himself with the music of "Little Master of China", otherwise how could he show the charm of his food?
As soon as the steamer was opened, it was an ordinary black clay pot, because the steam was still flowing with beads of bean-sized water, exuding a faint smell of mud.
This scene seems to be a change of times, attracting the attention of countless people; However, many of the chefs didn't get close to see it for the first time, which is a pity. Only Su Qin couldn't wait to grab the clay pot, and it was almost burned and broken.
Zhaoyun secretly scolded Su Qin, and carefully placed the clay pot on the table with a hot and humid handkerchief. Although the officials strictly forbade the cooks to watch, everyone couldn't wait to look over.
Su Qin, Ziyang and Invincible all approached, fearing that they would miss this historic moment.
Zhaoyun glanced at the waiting official with disdain, and slowly opened the clay pot, and a rich and sweet smell came to his face, but it diffused throughout the stove room in a moment.
"This ...... What kind of aroma is this? ”
"There are sweet and savory flavors...... This, how is this done? How is it possible to put two seasonings with different tastes? ”
"No, I've got to go check it out! How is this done? ”
"Eh, your rice is almost cooked!"
"It's not the first day that those guys have scorched rice again, leave him alone!"
“…… Wait for me, I'm going to see it too! ”
The entire stove room instantly became agitated, and nearly a hundred cooks swarmed away, surrounding Zhaoyun and his party, and even the officials had no effect at all.
Finally, the official also fell, and forced himself into the crowded line to see this different kind of cuisine.
Dongpo meat stands quietly in the bronze bowl, crystal clear, exuding a bright luster. Oil and water seeped out of the skin, and the crystal pork was covered with a layer of ash, but it looked even more eye-catching.
If there are lotus leaves, Zhaoyun will definitely choose to wrap them in lotus leaves, so that the Dongpo meat will be more vibrant.
The cooks couldn't stop swallowing their saliva, and finally someone asked, "My lord, what is this pork dish called?" Why is it so bright and delicate? ”
Zhaoyun blurted out: "Dongpo meat!" As soon as he exited, he secretly felt that something was wrong, this Nima Su Dongpo had not been born yet!
"Why is it called Dongpo meat?"
Zhaoyun thought about it for a while, and finally said, "This ...... This meat is a dish I came up with on the slope east of my hometown, so it's called Dongpo meat. ”
"I see!"
"What a good name!"
While speaking, Su Qin couldn't help it for a long time, and hurriedly picked up chopsticks and vegetables, but was hurriedly stopped by Zhaoyun.
Su Qin was dissatisfied: "What? Don't you want to eat it when you make it? ”
"It's not that you don't want to eat, it's that you don't eat it in the right way!"
Zhaoyun sighed helplessly, ordered someone to fill a bowl of yellow corn, and carefully picked up a piece of meat. Dongpo meat is like an obedient child, gently moving on the chopsticks, making people want to eat it in one bite.
The pieces of meat were sandwiched on the corn, and the soup seeped down, leaving a pale black shadow. Su Qin couldn't wait at all, snatched the dishes and chopsticks, and devoured the hulala.
"Howe, Haus!" Su Qin praised inarticulately.
At this time, Zhaoyun took the cold pork head meat and put it in front of Su Qin, because too much seasoning was added, the pork head meat was black and black, which made people not have much appetite. However, Su Qin couldn't care so much now, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one, not even bothering to say that it was delicious.
"You two can also serve dinner."
Ziyang and Invincible couldn't wait for a long time, they came to three bowls of yellow corn in a row, cherished and ate only ten pieces of Dongpo meat, the fragrant and tender juice was no longer than the throat, and the king of the stove had to say that it was good.
"Gollum ......"
"I'm hungry."
The sound of swallowing saliva sounded one after another, and the cooks watched the four of them eat like evil ghosts. Obviously, these meals do not have their share, and they can only satisfy their hunger.
"Look, look at what? The rice is ready to cook, and I don't want to prepare it yet...... Shh ”
What kind of pig food does the official Xindao eat on weekdays? can only be happy in the bitterness, comforting the cooks to prepare for dinner. The cooks were reluctant, looking at Dongpo Meat's eyes getting redder and redder, but they didn't dare to fight.
The rice was cooked, but the cooks ate tastelessly, only the occasional aroma of Dongpo meat, which increased their appetite.
Su Qin was the first to finish eating, and half of the Dongpo meat was eaten alive by him, and he praised heartily with a big belly: "It is worthy of being a gourmet, I took it today!" This dish alone is enough to make you surpass Yi Yin! ”
Zhaoyun smiled bitterly, how dare he compare with the kitchen god? People use cooking skills to govern the country, he just fills his stomach, and it is not at the same level at all.
"By the way, didn't you just see pig's feet? Why don't you see the goods? ”
When the cooks heard that there was still something delicious, their minds were about to explode, and they hurriedly showed pleading glances to the cook. The official was helpless, nodded, and hundreds of people hurriedly put down their rice bowls and gathered in front of the stove where Zhaoyunwang was scorching, for fear of missing every drop, and even the officials were mixed in, their eyes were hot.
Zhaoyun didn't pay attention to these believers at all, and went straight to open the bowl of the sauce pig's trotters, at this time the heat was just right, although there was no unique aroma, but the soft appearance of the sauce pig's trotters completely conquered the hearts of the cooks, even if they only looked at it, they felt that the taste would not be bad.
Su Qin looked at the soft and fragrant sauce pig's trotters, and Fang Cai's satiety instantly disappeared by half, and he immediately grabbed the biggest one and gnawed on it, his hands and mouth were full of greasy and he didn't care.
Everyone looked at Su Qin in unison, as if they were waiting for his evaluation; But the trotters were half eaten, and he did not say anything.
Zhaoyun glanced at Ziyang and Invincible, who were stunned, and said with a smile: "What, are you still waiting for him to eat your share?" ”
There are only four trotters in total, and one for each person is gone; The two of them hurriedly moved, fearing that Su Qin would eat quickly, so they ate their own.
"Ah...... Refreshing! It's been a long time since I've eaten so cool! After eating these things, am I also a foodie? ”
Su Qin's chopsticks were thrown away, and he was completely paralyzed and rolled on the ground, Zhaoyun sneered: "You can only be called a foodie, not a foodie at all!" ”
"So how do you count as a foodie?"
Zhaoyun put down his chopsticks, pulled away Su Qin's thief's hand that was still about to claw, and said, "After eating, you can't just say that it's cool, it's too boring, and others don't know the deliciousness of the dish at all." ”
The cooks nodded again and again, they appreciated Zhaoyun's words, and even the officials had to obey.
"It's like this Dongpo meat, you can't swallow it wildly, you have to taste it carefully, and then say: 'Dongpo meat is soft and delicate, fat but not oily, melts in the mouth, and the soup is rich; Eating more and not knowing that you are hungry, eating less and being afraid that the delicious taste will be difficult to get again, is the best in pork dishes'...... How's that, do others want to try it more? Far better than you, isn't it? ”
Su Qin exclaimed: "I see, what you said is very reasonable!" ”
As soon as Zhaoyun spoke, the cooks who couldn't eat completely collapsed - I don't take you like this! It's enough to be hungry if you can't eat it, and you're still so exciting!
Ziyang ate with the invincible beauty, glad that he was with the right person; Ziyang is even more sorry for his master, it seems that he must go to this Shu land!
Su Qin digested it, stood up again, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you gourmets unmanned?" You see if I can do it, can I take an apprentice? ”
Zhaoyun scolded with a smile: "You just want to eat with me!" …… It's not impossible, you have to pay tuition! ”
"Tuition? Do we still have to pay tuition for our relationship? ”
"What's the relationship between the two of us? You and I contradict each other's theories, they are enemies, and if you don't ask you to pay more tuition, it will be considered to give you face! ”
Su Qin's face became bitter and asked, "What is the tuition fee?" ”
Zhaoyun thought for a while and said, "Kong Qiu accepted apprentices and collected tuition fees back then, and even dried meat was fine, and I couldn't ask for too much...... In this way, a sack of grains can be anything! ”
"A sack? Why don't you go and grab it? Su Qin scolded directly, "How many people can eat this year?" You changed hands to a sack, do you still want to start a sect? ”
Zhaoyun originally regarded the gourmand as a joke, and didn't think about starting a sect, so he said casually: "In this case, three taels of grain or a box of salt...... Well, a jug of wine will do. ”
"That's pretty much it! I added it, what kind of official position do you give? ”
Zhaoyun smiled: "Just you? Let's start with the hall owner! But let me tell you first, there is no one in this sect except you and me. ”
Su Qin said very indifferently: "It's okay, just rub the rice!" ”
Zhaoyun whitened him, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
However, this sentence has set off a storm between the cooks!
"If you hear it, just three taels and five grains!"
One person swallowed his saliva: "Three taels and five grains, a pot of wine is enough...... The two dishes just now are definitely more than this price! ”
"I want to add!"
"I want to add it too!"
The voices rang out one after another, and what made Zhaoyun stunned was that almost all the cooks wanted to join his school, and even the officials who had been arrogant before couldn't help but raise their hands.
The temptation is just too great! You can learn this delicious food in just three taels and five grains, and it's a clearance sale!
Join, must join!
