Chapter 160: There is a birthday banquet
It is said that women love gold, and Huang Yuya, the female companion brought by Wang Gongzi, liked this golden "wealth and glory" at first sight, she even ate it in her mouth before Wang Gongzi, and ate two bites in a row, which was a little inappropriate, so she smiled and said: "Sweet but not greasy, glutinous but not sticky, fragrant, long aftertaste, and this rich and magnificent, graceful and luxurious appearance, worthy of wealth and glory."

Another talented girl, Lin Meier, was not very accustomed to this taste, she gently put down the porcelain spoon, nodded too, and said lightly: "It is indeed different." ”
Both beauties said so, and the others certainly had no opinion.
"Li Gongzi...... Belch...... I don't know what is the beauty of this glory and wealth...... Belch! Wang Gongzi ate too violently, was choked, and burped twice in a row.
"Well, there are also these, which can clear the stomach, anti-aging, whiten the skin, maintain elasticity, and avoid aging," Li Xiang said in that era, when health preservation was particularly popular for a while, and he also knew a little about it, so he said.
I didn't want the words to fall, and immediately there was a warbler Yanyan, Huang Yuya's little hand caressed her white and tender face, stared at her watery eyes, and asked in surprise: "Really?" I'm going to have to eat more. ”
Li Xiang nodded, the effect must be there, but it is difficult to say how big it can be, if you eat too much sweet potatoes and other foods with high sugar content, maybe you will be fat or have diabetes before you have time to age.
But others obviously don't think so, in addition to the two talented women, there are five or six singers, all chirping at the moment, or surprised, or sighing, all regretting that this golden dish can't be eaten often.
"You can take care of your skin! Wonderful, really wonderful, this wealth and glory, it is really a must-have for Qinglou! Wang Gongzi squinted his eyes and couldn't wait to ask loudly: "But I don't know what is the beauty of this third golden dish?" ”
Li Xiang smiled: "It's still the old rule, please taste it first." ”
After the foreshadowing of the first two dishes, especially one to help the yang, one to beautify, and they are all new dishes that have never been seen before, with all the color, flavor and flavor, everyone's expectations have been lifted, and they are all staring at the beautiful waitress who serves the dishes in a daze.
This time, it was a clay urn that was not good-looking, and when the lid was removed, the rich fragrance came out with the steam, Zhou Gongzi took a deep breath and said, "Huh": "It smells like chicken soup." ”
"Zhou Gongzi is right, this third dish is a soup," Li Xiang gestured, and a beautiful waitress willingly brought the first bowl to Zhou Gongzi.
In the white porcelain bowl, an inch away from the mouth of the bowl, the surface of the viscous soup is tender and yellow, and the faint white steam and fragrance rise, and the same as the first two dishes, this soup also looks very good.
Zhou Gongzi picked up the white porcelain spoon and scooped it up, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder he was the first to taste it, this dish is obviously the most effortful, if you want to belittle it, but you can't talk nonsense, you can only be embarrassed by yourself.
"There are chicken soup, fresh shellfish, ham, and egg drops, but the main ingredients are very unfamiliar," Wang Gongzi had to say slowly without praise or disparagement.
Li Xiang smiled: "Corn, also called pearl rice, red wheat, this soup is called red face like a dream." ”
"Red like a dream?" Wang Gongzi shouted in a low voice, looking at the three fresh corn soup in the bowl stupidly: "But I don't know why it's called this name?" ”
Li Xiang was slightly stunned, he didn't know why corn was called Hongyanmai, so he had to say nonsense: "Corn knots on the plant, it was originally wrapped in leaves, layer after layer, only by peeling off these clothes-like leaves, you can see the milky yellow and pink fruit inside, and the top of the fruit has a long beard, like a woman's green silk." The long beard is, the green leaves are the clothes, the body is fragrant and white, like a peerless beauty, so the folk are also called red wheat. ”
Lin Meier took a sip: "Phew, it's really obscene." ”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wang Gongzi shouted again: "Leeks can help the yang, wealth and glory can stay beautiful, and then a bowl of red soup, golden three dishes, are really necessary for Qinglou." ”
As soon as Wang Gongzi's voice fell, some talented people applauded.
The atmosphere has become very lively again, regardless of whether the golden dish is Li Xiang's nonsense, but from now on, it will spread its reputation all over the world.
Chunfeng Lou's fame is getting louder and louder, and Li Xiang didn't expect that a few days later, the old mother of Zhao Xiyuan, the capital supervisor of Fuyi Prison, celebrated her 80th birthday, found Chunfeng Lou, and paid a lot of money to invite Chunfeng Lou to Fuyi Prison to hold a banquet for her.
After Li Xiang inquired, he learned that this Zhao Xiyuan was Zhao Mengxue's uncle and a descendant of the Great Song Dynasty, but he had only been seven or eight generations old, and he didn't get any titles.
Li Xiang had to agree, for the sake of other people's heavy money, and besides, he was still thinking of opening a branch in Fuyi Prison, this time it was a good opportunity.
Second, he knew that his father Li Kang would definitely go too, so he happened to meet his father again to see his father's governance in Shaoxi Mansion, and the father and son could plan again.
It's just that this time there should be some special dishes, if you use the dishes of the current restaurant, although it is also very good, Li Xiang wants to be a hit.
In the end, Li Xiang already had a plan in his heart, if it was just the existing dishes in Chunfeng Building, at most the Zhao family would have no opinion, but it was not enough for the Zhao family and the people who participated in the birthday banquet to remember Chunfeng Building, and the Zhao family invited officials and well-known rich gentry in Sichuan, if they could make a dish that they would never forget, it would be worth it.
So Li Xiang decided to make the most complicated dish - Buddha jumping over the wall.
Buddha jumping over the wall has always occupied an important position in China's cuisine, is the representative of Fujian cuisine, the biggest feature of Buddha jumping over the wall is that the soup is incomparably fresh, it is to have "the altar of meat incense floating in the neighborhood, the Buddha smells and abandons Zen to jump over the wall", the Buddha jumping over the wall is also named because of this.
The reason why Li Xiang chose the Buddha jumping over the wall is because the Buddha jumping over the wall is very valuable, the Buddha jumping over the wall should use eighteen kinds of main materials, more than ten kinds of auxiliary materials, after a few hours of boiling and stewing can be out of the pot, these do not include the processing time of various ingredients in the early stage, and the eighteen main materials, but also contains shark fin, abalone, sea cucumber and other precious ingredients.
Li Xiang knew that the dishes of Chunfeng Building, even if they tasted good, were enough to shock the rich gentry who came to the banquet, but many of these people had eaten the dishes of Chunfeng Building, and this was a birthday banquet.
In his previous life, Li Xiang knew that making money would always have to make three kinds of people's money, or to cheat three kinds of people's money, one was women's money, because women spend money very blindly, sensibility is greater than rationality, women's sensitivity to numbers is limited to their own weight and measurements, and they don't even know how long the news network will last, let alone the price of goods; The second is children's money, in fact, in the end, it is also to earn adults' money, and the idea that parents should not let their children lose at the starting line is to put it bluntly, it is the vanity of parents; The third is the rich people's money, as long as you can provide the right environment and the right products, the rich people's money is the best to earn, because they are not bad for money.
