Chapter 100: Two Dishes and One Soup (Part II)
Xie Wei was not in a hurry to explain the origin of the two dishes to Yang Guang and the others, but pointed to a pot of soup next to him and asked, "Can the prince know this soup?" ”
Yang Guang saw that the soup was like a pot of eel paste soup, which was not much different from what he had eaten in the restaurant before he crossed, only a layer of finely chopped leek leaves was densely sprinkled on top of the soup, and the oil was mixed with turquoise, which seemed more attractive to look at.

"Hey, what's in this soup, I really haven't seen it." Before Yang Guang could speak, Li Hun, who was sitting on him, couldn't help but ask Xie Wei.
"I named this soup 'Shenghu Changchang Eel', the prince, the two sons, I am afraid that they have never been to Jiangzuo, and they may not know this thing." Xie sarcastically pointed to the wisps of soup in the soup, with shiny eel silk and said, "This thing is called eel, I take it homonym, called the winning word of victory or defeat, make the eel into a paste, take its homonym for the Hu character, after the soup is made, sprinkle a layer of leek leaves on it, which can not only remove the greasy, but also arouse people's appetite, take its homonym for the long-term meaning, together it is 'Shenghu long soup'." ”
"What is the eel, how can I look like a snake cut into pieces?" Li Hun had never seen an eel before, and he was not interested in the name that Xie Yan had chosen for this soup, so he just stared at the wisps of eel silk in the soup and asked.
Yang Guang saw that Li Hun was so interested in eel silk, and his heart moved, so he moved the pot of soup in front of Li Hun and persuaded him: "Jin Cai, you might as well taste it first, and see how this soup tastes?" Li Hun was familiar and informal, scooped a bowl of soup from the basin, brought it to his mouth and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise again and again: "Fresh, fragrant, this soup can be called delicious." Hyo-in, you can taste it too. ”
Yang Guangben had a thought of asking Li Hun to taste the soup for himself to test the poison, and when he saw Li Hun drink the soup with his own eyes, he regretted it a little, and was afraid that Yu Xiaoren would drink the soup again, so he hurriedly moved the pot of soup in front of him, pointed to the two dishes and asked Xie sarcastically: "Since the soup is named 'Shenghu Changchang Soup', what are these two dishes called?" ”
"Back to the prince, these two dishes are a 'Xijiang cuisine'." Xie Wei pointed to the plate of meatballs first and replied.
"Oh, I see." Yu Xiaoren next to him was able to come, "The year before last, during the Chinese New Year, someone sent two wild boars to my father, saying that these two wild boars are different from ordinary wild boars, which are the local specialties of Xijiang, and are used to pay tribute to the wild boar of Emperor Nanchen every year. This dish is called 'Xijiang Cuisine', Chef Xie, but it is made with wild boar meat from Xijiang? ”
"Young Master Yu is really knowledgeable." Xie Wei gave Yu Xiaoren a thumbs up, praised sincerely, and then pointed to the dish next to "Xijiang Cuisine" that looked like "tamales" and said, "But, as for this dish, Yu Gongzi is afraid that he won't recognize it." ”
"Isn't this a two-course meal made from a bite of pig's meat? I had to taste it before I could tell what kind of meat it was. Yu Xiaoren was asked by Xie Yan to arouse a strong appetite, seeing that Yang Guang was smiling and silent, he raised the chopsticks in his hand, picked up a piece of snow-white meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and asked tentatively: "Fresh and smooth, faintly mixed with a fragrance of pine resin, this is not pork, nor does it look like venison......"
"This dish is called 'Segmented Steamed Bear White', and the method is exceptionally simple, but this Bear White is a very rare thing in Chang'an City, and it must be steamed with the fat on the back of the black bear in winter. Lord, do you taste it, how does it taste? Xie Yan saw that Yang Guang himself didn't have a bite of the two dishes he had carefully prepared for Yang Guang, but he first went to the stomachs of Yu and Li, and couldn't help but feel a trace of regret, and hurriedly persuaded Yang Guangdao.
Yang Guang was still not in a hurry to eat, and asked Xie sarcastically: "Chef Xie specially prepared these two dishes for this king, one is made of wild boar meat and the other is made of black bear meat. ”
Xie Wei saw that Yang Guang saw through his intentions, and immediately took two steps back, raised his hand to straighten his clothes, and threw Yang Guangchang to the ground, and said: "Although Xie Wei lives in Jiangzuo, he has also been taught by his ancestors, in the past three hundred years, I have been in the Central Plains of China, and have long fallen into the hands of Hu Man. Shenghu long-term soup', I only hope that the prince will win Hu for a long time, so that my Chinese man can raise his eyebrows in front of Hu Man. ”
His words were sincere, Yang Guang heard it in his ears, and he couldn't help but be moved, and secretly thought to himself: "This Xie sarcasm came from Jiang Zuo, and Qu Tutong appeared in the lobby of the restaurant again, I originally suspected that even if he was not the murderer of Master Huizhen, he was probably a secret agent sent by Nan Chen to Chang'an, but now listening to his generous statement, it is clear that Hu Man has been occupying the Central Plains for a long time, and with his own intentions, he is by no means like a treacherous villain who poisons himself in the meal." ”
Thinking like this, Yang Guang calmly raised his hand and stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of bear white, put it in his mouth, and tasted it.
"Hey, Chef Xie, it's summer and autumn right now, where did you get the bear white on the back of this winter black bear?" Yu Xiaoren asked puzzled while eating.
"If you go back to Yu Gongzi, this piece of bear white was originally brought by the boss of Gao Liangao of the leather goods in the East City Technical College, and it was specially cooked for him to enjoy himself. I mentioned it to him just now, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Jin came to the 'south bank of the Yangtze River' today, and wanted to ask him for a piece of bear white to present to the King of Jin to enjoy. ”
"Gao Liansheng, he's also upstairs now!" Yu Xiaoren exclaimed in surprise, and immediately stopped talking, only staring at Yang Guang and smirking, "Chef Xie, you go, in my name, invite Boss Gao to meet here." ”
Xie Wei only said that Yu Xiaoren wanted to thank Gao Liansheng in person, agreed, and turned out of the private room.
Yang Guang blamed Yu Xiaoren for not discussing it with himself, so he instructed Xie Wei to invite strangers to meet him in the private room, his face sank, and he asked Yu Xiaoren: "Who is this Gao Liansheng, why are you so excited when you hear his name?" ”
"Lord Wang, do you remember the 'Jade Claw' I mentioned to Lord Wang two months ago?" Yu Xiaoren turned a blind eye to Yang Guang's displeasure, and said with a flattering smile, "If there is one person in Chang'an City who can get the 'Jade Claw', this person must be Gao Liansheng." The prince is not interested in seeing him? ”
