The people in the other sedan chairs also came down one after another, and went upstairs under the leadership of the middle-aged man with the face of the national character. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The housekeeper got the order of the middle-aged man with the national face, and immediately ordered to prepare to serve the food, and turned his head to inform Xue'er who was on the side with a serious face.

"Li Kang wishes Zhao Lao's birthday star happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan."

"Zhou Wu wishes Zhao Lao Shouxing good luck and good health."

The sound of blessings and birthday greetings was mixed with the sound of silk music, which was endless, Li Xiang didn't have the heart to listen to these sounds, and he was now worried about whether the Buddha jumping over the wall he made would be able to impress these guests and hosts.

Lu Wende, the deputy envoy of Sichuan Province, also arrived at this time, and naturally all the officials and squires went downstairs to greet him in person, so it was not lively, Li Xiang knew that this Lu Wende family was also one of the top families in the Great Song Dynasty, and they had always been very influential in the military circles, so it was certain that these officials and gentry would tie up.

When Cher reached the first floor, she instructed the kitchen man to move the Buddha jumping over the wall that had just been lifted off the stove to the bottom of the second floor, and asked the man to open the three jar lids at the same time.

As soon as the altar was opened, the fragrance of the Buddha jumping over the wall was dispersed, Xue'er ordered a few guys to use a fan to fan the fragrance to the upstairs, the fragrance of the Buddha jumping over the wall was already strong, and the fragrance of the Buddha jumping over the wall of the three large jars that had just been opened quickly drifted towards the second floor.

Xue'er arranged all this, and quickly ran to the door of the first floor to wait for the people of the Zhao family to come to her.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, the chief butler of the Zhao family hurriedly ran down, saw Xue'er on the side, and said hurriedly: "Ouyang shopkeeper, hurry up, our master told you to go up." ”

Ouyang Xue and Guan Yu'er followed Li Dong upstairs together, and the housekeeper directly brought the two to the middle-aged man with a national character face, who was the current head of the Zhao family and the capital supervisor of Fuyi Eunuch Zhao Xiyuan.

Zhao Xiyuan asked with a pleasant face: "Shopkeeper, just now we all smelled a strange fragrance, but it doesn't seem to be emitted from the Chinese dishes on this table, I don't know why." ”

Mrs. Zhao's face was wrinkled, and she also said with a smile: "I have never smelled such a fragrance, it is quite unique, can you tell me the reason." ”

Li Xiang glanced at Xue'er, Xue'er bowed and said: "Master Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, I am Ouyang Xue, the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Building, this time the Zhao family can choose my Chunfeng Building to congratulate Mrs. Zhao on her birthday, it is really an honor for Chunfeng Building, it is because Chunfeng Building specially prepared a dish for Mrs. Zhao's birthday banquet, as a birthday gift, this strange fragrance is from this dish." ”

"Oh, what kind of food can have this kind of strange fragrance, you can smell it from such a distance, and the old woman is a little moved." Old Lady Zhao said with a smile.

Li Xiang gave Guan Yu'er a look, Guan Yu'er hurriedly went downstairs, and soon a few guys carried three large jars to the second floor.

The man lifted the lids of the three large jars, and in an instant the aroma of the jars filled the entire second floor, and some people on the first floor actually ran to the second floor when they smelled the incense.

Buddha jumping over the wall is known as "the altar of meat incense floating in the neighbors, the Buddha smells of abandoning Zen jumping over the wall" said, originally known for the strong fragrance, for a time the second floor has been discussed, some greedy people's eyes have become straight.

Even the head of the Wang family, one of the four major families of Shaoxi Mansion on the side, couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "I said Ouyang shopkeeper, you won't let us smell like this all the time." ”

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "Miss Ouyang, even my old wife is a little greedy, no matter what, the old woman thank you for this generous gift first." ”

The guy had already been instructed by Li Xiang that the Buddha jumped over the wall on one altar and one altar, but because there were too many banquets today, Li Xiang instructed the man to use bowls to serve the main tables on the second floor, and the rest of the tables were served in a large bowl per table, so as to ensure that the main guests ate well, and that the rest of the people could eat.

In order to ensure that all kinds of ingredients are fully reflected, each bowl is put some of each ingredient, mainly to drink soup.

It took a lot of effort this time, and finally this Buddha jumped over the wall and distributed it to every place.

Ouyang Xue said in a coquettish voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, because this time is a bit of a rush, I haven't prepared too much, so I can't let you enjoy it, so forgive me first." ”

Everyone has already been overwhelmed by this aroma, where can anyone still pay attention to what Ouyang Xue said, in the first few tables, it was okay, one person was given a small bowl, and the rest was just a big bowl on the table, and some people didn't care about being reserved and began to feast.

Even Lu Wende, the deputy envoy of Sichuan Province, couldn't help but drool, although he had seen a lot, but the famous dishes that appeared after hundreds of years were also unheard of, smelling strange fragrance, the Adam's apple was sensational, looking at this bowl, most of the ingredients were known, they were some precious ingredients, he scooped up a mouthful of soup with a soup spoon, put it next to his nose and smelled it, the indescribable aroma came to his nose, although the soup was dark, but it was still clear, and it aroused people's appetite brightly, and Lu Wende sent the soup to his mouth.

As soon as this soup is eaten, the umami tastes from the tip of the tongue directly to the root of the tongue, this taste is something that Lu Wende has never tried before, and Lu Wende seems to be a little reluctant to swallow this umami into his stomach, so that the umami will remain on the tongue for a while.

The soup is like the throat, and the umami goes straight into the stomach along the throat line, and Lu Wende only feels a warmth coming back from the stomach.

Lu Wende hurriedly scooped a pigeon egg with a spoon, put it in his mouth and chewed, now this pigeon egg actually has a strong salty fragrance, because this pigeon egg is steamed with ham and fat, so the pigeon egg completely absorbs the salty freshness of the ham, plus the original taste of the pigeon egg, the mixture is wonderful.

In the mouth, there is no fishy smell, and it is extremely smooth and firm, especially the half-spoonful soup mixed with shark fin and abalone, which is full of fragrance.

The rest of the people feel the same, each ingredient in this Buddha jumping over the wall not only squandered the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, but also mixed with a rich soup, which is delicious and delicious.

Lu Wende quickly finished eating this bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Ouyang shopkeeper, Lu asked himself to have a lot of experience in eating, but this dish has never been eaten by Lu before, and I don't know what the name of this dish is." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Ouyang Xue in unison, because no one had eaten this dish, these people were all people with heads and faces in Sichuan, and they all attached great importance to food on weekdays, so they all had the idea of asking the servants at home to imitate this dish in the future.

"Lord Lu, Master Zhao, this dish has just been researched by our Chunfeng Building, and it doesn't have a name yet, but Xue'er wants to use Mrs. Zhao's birthday to ask the old birthday star for a lottery." Ouyang Xue bowed and said, you must please Mrs. Zhao, the emperor likes to nominate Mobao everywhere, presumably these rich people love this false name even more, so he had an idea in his heart, if he asked Mrs. Zhao to name this Buddha jumping over the wall, it would not only be able to please Mrs. Zhao, but also be regarded as a celebrity nomination, easy to get the popularity of the rich class in Sichuan, anyway, no one knows the name of this Buddha jumping over the wall.
