The salty soup poured suddenly on the golden Yellow River carp, making a sizzling sound, like a small hand, opening the city gate under your nose, and putting the delicious fish flavor in a steady stream, so that people have no place for a while, and in an instant they will become a delicious captive, in front of them is the golden and red appearance of the Yellow River carp, under the nose is a delicious way, the mouth is full of relish, that is, the ears that are out of tune are only full of the chef's proud introduction, Then a layer of dragon whisker-like things hula suddenly pasted on the body of the Yellow River carp, like a fish fairy who had just come out of the bath and put on the heavenly raccoon veil, gorgeous and unbelievable, Liu Mengeng was also the master who had eaten and seen, but at this time, he was hooked by the carp in front of him, Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "The difficulty of Gengzi Lafayette fled to Kaifeng, and the famous chef of Kaifeng Mansion served sweet and sour fish and baked noodles." When Lafayette saw this, he suddenly said on a whim that the carp was lying on the plate, probably asleep, and that it should be covered with a quilt so as not to catch a cold. Then the chopsticks cover the baked noodles with the fish, and the carp baked noodles have since become a delicacy. It is characterized by the color of jujube red, soft and tender, baked noodles as thin as hair, fluffy and crispy, it is also a special dish in Central China, brother may wish to try it! As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks and gently tore off a piece of fish meat from the fish and put it on the dish in front of Liu Mengeng. Liu Mengeng took advantage of the situation to excuse himself after a few words, and then put the fish in front of him into his mouth, but he felt sweet and delicious, and the end was attractive, in fact, he didn't come to Central China once or twice, but on the occasion of the banquet in the past, the staggered selection was staggered, and all kinds of fresh food emerged in endlessly, this fish is also there, but he is too ordinary to pay attention to it, and now on the small table, there is no meat and vegetables, only this fish has just been baked, and the color and flavor are all over the place, and he has also received a lot of love from him for a while.

"How does the old brother taste? I don't know if it's to your taste. Chang Zhenbang asked with a look of concern.

Liu Mengeng smiled faintly and said, "This fish is well done, where is the cook." ”

"Yes, sir, please command!" The cook said proudly that he trusted his craft, even more than his son, so he was very confident that the next thing should be the praise and reward of the great master.

"How long have you been in the Overseer's Mansion to help cook?"

The cook said: "Don't dare to deceive the adults, the younger father and son have been helping the chef for two generations, and the younger ones have been out of school for five or six years." ”

"It's been five or six years." Liu Mengeng said lightly: "The days are not short, this dish is good, but the master hates others for tricking me the most, and Brother Chang let people drag him out to beat him with twenty military sticks!" Let him also teach him a long lesson, so as not to mislead people's children! ”

The cook David was frightened, his face became hideous, and his face fluctuated because of emotional fluctuations, like when a snake shed its skin, but he may have really stayed in this Overseer's Mansion for a long time, and knew how to deal with the blame from above, only to see him puff, knelt on the ground, and did not beg for mercy, but said with a sad face: "The little one has a few heads, how dare he deceive the master?" If you really deceive the master, the little one will not dare to beg for mercy, but only ask the adult to explain one or two, and let the little one understand the punishment. ”

Liu Mengeng smiled and said, "Okay, seeing that you are so sincere, the master will tell you what is wrong, you are also a person in your forties, early thirties, how can you not know about Lafayette's West Hunting?" Does Galeries Lafayette like to eat carp? Have you really eaten this carp baked noodles? I think it's just hearsay. ”

The cook was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly asked, it is said that this thing, who knows if it is true or false? It's just that everyone is used to saying this, and it's probably impossible to scrutinize it if you really want to pursue it, and besides, isn't this something Chang said? Why don't you blame him, but blame Lao Tzu on his head, because Lao Tzu killed your father, or slept with your mother, and he was so embarrassed by Lao Tzu. I was really a little frightened and angry in my heart, if it weren't for the fact that the old guy in front of him was a big official, he would have picked up the pig-killing knife and rushed over to reason with him. Not to mention that his family is two generations of cooks in the Overseer's Mansion, even if he doesn't know how to solve the crisis in front of him, he still subconsciously looks at Chang Zhenbang, Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly, and said: "Lord Liu, who in the world doesn't know that Lafayette loves fish and loves fish?" This legend can't be said to still exist. ”

Liu Mengeng said: "Brother doesn't know, there are two kinds of carp that Lafayette likes to eat, one is golden carp, the other is red carp, and other carp is not eaten." ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "Most of the carp in the Yellow River are white and golden, but it is not excluded that one or two are golden, after all, the governor of Henan at that time has been preparing for several months, if this little thing is not done well, will this official be done?" ”

Liu Mengeng smiled and said: "The family law handed down by the ancestors of the Manchurian Emperor is that you are not allowed to eat more than three spoonfuls of vegetables. If Lafayette thinks the dish is not bad, the eunuch will put another spoonful, if the third spoonful is served, the other eunuchs will immediately shout to withdraw, and this dish will not be served again for ten days and half a month, so no one knows what Lafayette likes to eat, and those are said to be just rumors in the market to solicit business. Chang is also a person who has eaten and seen it, and he should know how the upper-class celebrities eat it, and how this noodle is, and he will not comment on it, but the act of putting the noodles on the fish will definitely not be the work of Lafayette. ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said: "Lord Liu should also know that the people have a lot of yearning and speculation for the court, yearning for it to be a high and powerful, knowing that its diet is exquisite, it is inevitable to add branches and leaves to it, in order to show that it is well-informed, it is not an important thing, if the adults don't like it, just remove this dish, why be so aggressive and unhappy with a cook?" ”

Liu Mengeng said: "People always have to know their own position, so that they will not talk about good things and turn bad things, this cook's skills are good, although the method is vulgar, but it is also a rare delicacy, but it is a pity that this hearsay of the palace past, does not make people lose their appetite." I should have rewarded you with twenty military sticks, but for the sake of Lord Chang, I have the right to spare you once. ”

The cook saw that a catastrophe had passed, and the heart that mentioned his throat and eyes finally slowly put it in his stomach, and while he was relieved, he saw Liu Mengeng crackling and throwing out a lot of Dayang, and hurriedly said loudly: "Little thank you for the reward of the old man." Picking up the ocean on the ground, the cook was slowly about to withdraw.

Chang Zhenbang said: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, this dish is not to Lord Liu's appetite, let's withdraw it together!" The cook hurriedly came and took the carp noodles away.

When I went to this dish, the small table was empty, and there was already a servant who brought a white iron pot and a charcoal stove with his hands and feet, boiling hot water, and exuding a light smell, and the rippling water lines showed that this was unprecedented freshness.

"It's water!" Liu Mengeng said curiously.

Chang Zhenbang smiled, beckoned to the servants behind him, and saw that the person after that cleanly brought a plate of white-gold carp, in front of everyone, the flying knife was like a shuttle, but I saw a piece of white tender fish meat jumping into the pot quickly, and the skin and flesh rolled in an instant, and the light aroma of fish meat was like a strong soldier who cut through the pass in an instant, and suddenly dispersed the idle atmosphere in the house.

There was already a side waiting for the servant to bring two small bowls full of condiments, Chang Zhenbang picked up a piece of tumbling tender white fish meat and put it into the condiment, gently rolled it, put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but say: "Tender, this clean house is on fire, and it tastes very delicious." ”

"Cleaning the house and firing?" Liu Mengeng was taken aback, and the fish he picked up was transferred to the hot pot again without paying attention.

"What's the matter, isn't Brother Liu a little hot?" Chang Zhenbang asked with concern.

Liu Mengeng's eyes suddenly burst out with two rays of light, only to see him gently take out the piece of meat just now with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chew it for a while, and then said with praise: "The taste is really delicious." This name is also quite ingenious, the elder brother likes it very much, if the virtuous brother is interested, how about giving it to the elder brother? Of course, my brother won't let you suffer! ”

Chang Zhenbang said noncommittally: "The Yellow River carp is beautiful and fresh, it is really a good accompaniment to the meal, not only Cao Sanye, Wu Peifu likes it, but I Chang Zhenbang also wants to accompany the meal, brother might as well offer me a price." ”

Liu Mengeng said noncommittally: "The Yellow River carp is delicious, but the pot is here, the fish is here, if Brother Chang wants to eat, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, it's better for me to go to Cao Sanye's place to talk to my brother, when to give the price to the brother, you can't let the brothers walk in vain, right?"

Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Listening to the tone of the elder brother, Cao Sanye is rich." ”

Liu Mengeng smiled, and then said noncommittally: "In Cao Sanye's opinion, personnel is the most important, and everything else is easy to say, as long as things can be solved with money, no matter how much money there is, it is not a problem." ”

"The third master is really bold, but I don't know how much this Huazhong is worth in the eyes of the third master?"

"Three million oceans!" Liu Mengeng said: "This is the reserve price of the third master, it can't be more." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "There are 20 million people in Central China, and one person is no less than 300 oceans!" ”

"Brother Chang is not even and it makes sense, but it was said that it was before the Qian Defa Rebellion, and now Central China has gone through so many tosses, but it is worthless, that is, the elder brother has searched hard, maybe more than 30 million, but why bother, the elder brother was born here, grew up here, a little local love still has to be talked about, how much money can be wanted? It's better to accept it when you see it! ”

Chang Zhenbang listened, his eyes and brows furrowed slightly, as if he was in deep thought, and after five or six minutes, he sighed leisurely and said, "Three million can't be more?" ”

Liu Mengeng said with a smile: "Although the big carp of the Yellow River is delicious, there must also be a suitable guy, my brother is not a greedy person, why bother with my brother here!" After all, this Central China is not your southeast, and the southeast will not be of any benefit when the army arrives, so it seems that the third master is generous enough. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Brother, what you said is wrong, this pot in Luoyin City is in my hands!" ”

Liu Mengeng said with a smile: "Luoyin City is always a lonely city, my direct soldiers risk death, even if a few divisions are killed or injured, can my brother be alone?" ”

Chang Zhenbang was silent.
