Chapter 325: Craftsmanship
Chapter 325 Craftsmanship
When Wan Qiyang made these dishes, he also deliberately asked the chef of Chengfu to learn how to do it on the side, and explained the steps in detail, which also made the cook thank him from the bottom of his heart.
Today, he plans to make dishes such as Kung Pao chicken, spicy pork slices, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, green pepper corn, mapo tofu and other famous Sichuan dishes that will only exist in later generations. Of course, because everyone eats chili peppers for the first time, he uses very little, and it is enough to have a taste, but not only his practice is special, but also includes some hand-carved plating, so that everyone is surprised when they see such exquisite dishes, especially the color, fragrance, and taste, just seeing the index finger moves, not to mention that Wan Qiyang also let everyone be hungry for a while before eating, just let everyone drink some boiled water, so when his dish comes out, everyone salivates when they smell it.
At the end of the banquet, all the dishes he made were all gone, but fortunately, Wan Qiyang also prepared steamed sweet potatoes, which made everyone eat to their heart's content, which was equivalent to the dessert being served at the end. And what made Zhu Yuan even more reluctant was Wan Qiyang himself, which made this young girl who was just beginning to fall in love completely immersed in a kind of self-weaving illusion.
After everyone was full of wine and food, Wan Qiyang asked, "Everyone, have you ever been satisfied with this banquet?" What do you think? ”
Although Wan Qiyang asked everyone, the most noble person in this banquet still belonged to Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, so everyone looked at him, and everyone could continue to speak only after he said something, and at this time, the princess Zhu Yuan was still eating a steamed sweet potato in her hand.
"Young Master Yang, this king really admires, to be honest, not only have I never heard of these dishes, but this is also the first time this king has eaten such delicious dishes, even the imperial chef can't make such delicious dishes. It is a great honor for this king to be invited by his son to participate in such a banquet today, which is really a feast for this king, and it is rude! This king loves this plate of kung pao chicken and this plate of mashed potatoes very much, fifth sister, why are you still eating! I couldn't help but laugh when I finished speaking.
Everyone also smiled but didn't make a sound, Wan Qiyang also smiled and said: "It's okay, the princess likes to eat, let her eat, this thing is only good and not harmful, I want to tell you that these dishes are the first batch of you to enjoy, and these ingredients are purchased by me from overseas, I traveled across the ocean and ran half the world to our Chengdu Mansion, at present, only this son has these seeds, and I will let the next person bring you some back when the King of Shu returns to the house, and I will take care of it if you want to eat it in the future, and then I will reveal a message to you, These dishes will be sold in the restaurant I will open in the future, of course, the price will not be cheap, only distinguished people can enjoy, in the future in other big cities I will also open the same chain restaurant, the same name and the same dishes, of course, the same valuable identity can be enjoyed, there are a few dishes that need to be made after a while, then naturally everyone will have a mouthful, give you a preview in advance. What does the king of Shu think will happen to the restaurant's business in the future? I conservatively estimate that it will not take a year to earn the capital, and the profit will be doubled in the future, so let's wait and see! In addition, when the seeds are ripe next year, if the king of Shu is interested, he can also plant these agricultural products, I dare to say that as long as our agricultural products are harvested, there will be no more disasters in the future. ”
Wan Qianyang's words made the King of Shu, a talented person with business acumen, seem to see that he could make a lot of money with this agricultural product in the future, and at the same time, he also admired the Yang Gongzi in front of him for such courage to spend a lot of money to introduce agricultural seeds from overseas to sow them, not to mention such tricks to promote.
He only ate two or three bites of each of those dishes just now, and now he is full, and the taste is indeed extraordinary, especially novel and delicious. Each flavor is very unique, and I heard Wan Qiyang Gongzi say that there are other methods, and the taste is different, which also makes him look forward to it very much!
The princess heard that the King of Shu was laughing at her, and she also felt a little embarrassed at this time, "Big brother! Didn't I look at it so as not to waste it, Sister Xing'er, you said it was delicious! But I'm really a little bloated! ”
Everyone naturally nodded and echoed the princess's statement, saying that she was not wrong, "It's a good thing that the princess likes to eat it, and I told everyone that this sweet potato can also be boiled directly into sugar, which is especially sweet." It can also be eaten baked, steamed and then cut into slices and dried, and then eaten sweet potato chips, this potato can also be like this. Anyway, there are many ways to eat, and it's easy to get full. This corn can be ground into flour and boiled with rice when it matures in the future, and the benefits are particularly many, such as eating these often in the future, it will not appear that you can't see things clearly at night, and you can also avoid foot odor, and often work hard to grow tall. Anyway, everyone will be able to appreciate the benefits after eating! ”
After Wan Qiyang finished speaking, he was choked by the princess's question, and the princess said: "Childe, you are really amazing, you know all this, who told you?" ”
"This...."Wan Qiyang was a little embarrassed all of a sudden, he couldn't say that he already knew, this was summed up by everyone over the past few hundred years, so he could only say: "Hahaha, these are naturally known from those foreigners overseas, so now foreigners can know a lot of things we don't know, do you know?" Foreigners can also build ships made of iron to sail on the seas, and they can also produce lightning things. This is because they ate these things earlier than us, you see they are stronger and taller than us! It also makes sense. ”
"Oh!" Everyone now suddenly realizes that foreigners often eat these things to grow so tall and strong. Is it just that this ship made of iron sails on the seas? Doesn't iron sink as soon as it is placed in water? It's weird!
This banquet has almost become a classroom for Wan Qianyang's popularization of knowledge, and the princess has become a good student who loves to ask questions, and several times Wan Qianyang asked Wan Qianyang to think for a long time before answering, because many questions are simply laws, but the princess did not understand as a question, the key is that everyone also has an expression of wanting to know the answer, Wan Qianyang only remembered that he is still a little old when he talks about these problems now, for example, why this potato does not bear fruit at the flowering place but underground, after flowering, This made Wan Qianyang answer like a peanut, born in the ground, there is no reason, and then they asked what peanuts are, Wan Qiyang thought that at this time, peanuts have not yet arrived in the Ming Dynasty, right?
After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that at this time, peanuts had already been planted in the Ming Dynasty, but they were called 'longevity fruit' by everyone, the key is that there is a kung pao chicken made this time, so when we took out the plate that everyone had eaten up and said that the 'longevity fruit' inside was also called peanuts, everyone understood, but everyone also learned that this thing also grew in the soil after listening to Wan Qiyang, and thought it was hanging on the tree! For this reason, Wan Qiyang was careful and careful when he spoke, so as not to be put on his own oolong again.
Finally, the princess asked, "Childe, I heard that you can speak the language of foreigners?" That's amazing! ”
Wan Qiyang could only smile and said, "Actually, as long as you study hard, nothing is difficult." Today, Bao'er is the most well-behaved, only eating and not talking. ”
Because Bao'er has been playing with Xing'er Xiaoqian recently and studying together, she naturally stays by Wan Qiyang's side at night, just because there are too many delicious foods, and they are all what she likes to eat, so she only cares about eating and doesn't ask questions, because she knows that she can ask any questions at any time, and she doesn't think these questions are problems, she is only interested in scientific curiosity.
In this way, everyone ate a feast for more than an hour, and when the king of Shu left in the afternoon, the princess also took some ready-made food that had been cooked!
Master Cheng naturally enjoyed this sumptuous banquet and felt very happy. He was used to being surprised when Wan Qiyang suddenly took out an item or a craft. Anyway, what could be more mysterious in this world than this nephew he recognized?
Song Changqing and Irene were naturally at the same table, but they didn't express their feelings, but at the same time, they were also shocked by Wan Qiyanglu's hand, they also thought it was too delicious, they never thought that the dishes could be so delicious, and they were very lucky to be by Wan Qiyang's side, this was the most correct decision he made in his life!
