Chapter 30 The Taste of China

Zhuge Jun happily accepted the tofu competition proposed by the boss of Yipinge, not because of how exquisite his cooking skills were, but because he was confident enough to beat the masked female chef of Yipinge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Tofu originated in the Han Dynasty, the original method of making is just that farmers use beans and rice to grind into a paste to make pancakes, with soy milk to drink and eat, and later people found that soybean milk can be metamorphosed and condensed for a long time, so there was a self-delaying method to create the earliest tofu.

However, the self-lake method is slow and time-consuming to produce tofu, so the tofu has not been widely spread, until Liu An, the king of Huainan, believes in the art of immortality, and spares no expense to recruit the magician to cultivate the danmiao with bean juice, but the alchemy does not succeed, the bean juice and the salt brine meet and solidify, and the tofu is fragrant and tender, so under the improvement of this group of "chemists", there is finally a method of making tofu with gypsum and salt brine.

However, because the tofu at this time has not been around for a long time, it has not been developed much, because its preparation method has not heated the soybean milk, so the coagulation and taste are very different from the tofu that Zhuge Jun ate in his previous life.

Zhuge Jun and Huang Zu tasted the Yipin tofu produced by Yipinge at the first banquet, because it is very loose, it tastes more like the crushed tofu brain that has been eaten before, the key is that this tofu is a steamed product, with accompanying vegetables, the taste is sweet and pleasant.

Zhuge Jun, as a northerner in his previous life, although this sweet tofu is good, it is far from the way to eat tofu in Zhuge Jun's impression.

As an inventor, Zhuge Jun naturally has the attribute of a house, but unlike other otaku who are unkempt and rely on instant noodles for three meals a day, Zhuge Jun has the beautiful character of a foodie.

When foodies meet the house, it naturally makes this inventor with a high pursuit of quality of life, so as an authentic Chinese, traditional Chinese cuisine is naturally Zhuge Jun's best dish.

However, Zhuge Jun was not in a hurry to compete with the masked chef of Yipinge, and in addition to being confident that he could win this cooking competition, Zhuge Jun considered it more comprehensively.

What he wants to do is to make this competition not only limited to the kitchen of Yipinge, but also to use the previous dumpling project to build momentum and scale it, and then use the tofu competition as a dumpling promotion to heat up, and beat the reputation of Chinese cuisine out of this county!

The venue of this cooking competition is naturally in Yipinge, because of the design drawings provided by Zhuge Jun, the entire Yipin Pavilion is being renovated and set up in a miscellaneous or simple way, and during this period, because of the financial support provided by Zhuge Jun, the owner of the fund, the expenses of Yipin Pavilion are paid by Zhuge Jun, and because of the suspension of the city's famous Yipin Pavilion, many people in the city have a lot of attention to this event.

With such a plan and arrangement, Zhuge Jun and Yipinge set the time for the tofu competition to be half a month later, and the people of Jiangxia who had experienced the Estee Lauder Conference, businessmen from all over the country, and even some dignitaries and nobles, were ready to move after getting the news of this cooking competition jointly organized by Yipinge and Mr. Linghu.

Produced by Linghu, the brand concept of being a boutique seems to have been tacitly acquiesced in everyone's hearts, which is very interesting.

However, it was said that Xu Shu and the others, who were heading north, stopped at the Runan boundary because Liu Ye was sick.

Since Xu Shu left Jingzhou, he felt that the further he went, the more desolate he became, and after entering Runan County, he saw that he was starving all over the land, and the people were not able to make a living, which was very different from what he saw in Xiangyang City.

Of course, this situation is not uncommon in the war era, not to mention that since Liu Bei took over, Runan has had a depression at this time due to many wars with Cao Cao's forces.

Xu Shu was originally a ranger, and although punishing rape and eliminating evil has become a thing of the past, since he studied abroad, the original intention and responsibility of helping the people of the world have never been forgotten, and even one day is better than one day.

Therefore, out of mercy or responsibility, Xu Shu scattered almost all the gold and silver delivered by Zhuge Jun to these poor people along the way, and the little silver money left had to seek medical treatment for Liu Ye at this time, which was really stretched.

However, the place where the two settled was not a city, but a village called Qingye, and it was at least three days and two nights away from the nearest Gushi City, but Liu Ye's body was already very weak at this time, and he could no longer suffer from the bumps of the carriage and horses, so it became a very difficult thing to find people and heal the sick.

"Hey, it would be nice if Mr. Linghu was here." Xu Shu looked at Liu Ziyang lying on the bed and sighed softly.

Xu Shu because of his good deeds all the way, but also in this realm of refugees have a small name, coupled with the chivalrous spirit accumulated in the past, this small fame has gradually spread, at this time the two of them are because of Xu Shu's good name, received by the villagers of Qingyezhuang, temporarily living in a farmer's house.

Liu Ye woke up slightly, and when he heard Xu Shu's sigh, he asked about Zhuge Jun a little weakly, and Xu Shu told Zhuge Jun's ability to Liu Ye.

After all, although Liu Ye is a friend, this kind of shocking thing is not something that can be easily accepted by the identity of a friend, and at this time, each is his master, Xu Shu does not say it, naturally he also has the intention of protecting Zhuge Jun, and no one knows whether this kind of thing will attract luck or disaster once it is publicized.

Originally, Liu Ye also wondered why Xu Shu would talk about Mr. Linghu's words, but under Xu Shu's introduction, he knew that Zhuge Jun was really a ghost talent, not only had unique insights in mechanics, but also had a deep attainment in the art of rejuvenating the face, and also studied diet therapy and pharmacology.

Unlike other literati who think of the sideways, Liu Ye likes to study ingenuity, and does not have any prejudice against Zhuge Jun's talents, but admires Zhuge Jun's talents more, and also strengthens his desire to win over, so he expresses his hope that Xu Shu can help persuade more.

It's a pity that although Liu Ziyang has a heart at this time, he has not recovered from his illness, and after such a long journey, frequent vomiting and loss of appetite make him look much thinner and pale.

"Brother Ziyang, don't mention this matter again, let's take care of your body first."

Liu Ye heard Xu Shu say this, knowing that it was a prevarication, he was already sick, and at this time, he added to his heart, and he was even more reluctant to eat, and he couldn't even drink the potion that Xu Shu asked someone to exchange.

Liu Ye hadn't woken up for two days, and Xu Shu took off the Qingyun jade belt and brought it to him, but it didn't work. Liu Ye was not qualified by the Divine Machine System, let alone that the Qingyun Jade Belt would take effect on him.

Of course, Xu Shu didn't know the reason for this.

After all, after getting along for so long, Xu Shu still recognizes Liu Ye very much, looking at him like this at this time, although he has more than enough, but his strength is insufficient, he can only cry out in vain.

Another day, Xu Shu suddenly heard the news from the farmer, saying that a doctor had come to the village, which was a long drought and rain for Xu Shu, who was at a loss, so he went out to find it.

Xu Shu walked to the village, only to see a person holding a battle, holding a golden hoop bell, talking to the old man in the village, one time he stretched out his finger and pointed to the distance, and then pointed at the old man with a cane, I don't know what he was doing.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency if you can heal the sick and save people?" Xu Shu stepped forward and asked.

The man with the staff did not answer, signaling Xu Shu not to speak, and then after a while, I saw the old man on the opposite side spit out a small red worm worm from his mouth, and when it fell to the ground, he still squirmed, and the man with the staff explained:

"It should have been because I drank unclean water that this insect grew, and now that the insect is gone, it will be fine, so be careful not to drink the water in the depression in the future."

After hearing this, the old man nodded again and again, saluted and thanked him before leaving.

"What did Your Excellency just ask me?"

When Xu Shu saw this strange scene, he still questioned it, and he didn't say more, so he told Liu Ye's story to the person holding the golden hoop bell in front of him, and asked, "I don't know if there is still salvation?" ”

The man said unhurriedly, "Let's go, take me to see it." ”

......

But it was said that half a month would pass in a moment, and the competition between Zhuge Jun and the shy masked cook in Yipinge also came as scheduled.

In addition to studying the dishes for the battle, Zhuge spent more time on making tools.

Zhuge Jun asked people to find craftsmen to build a stone mill, the size is much smaller than the ordinary stone mill, and then he imitated the grinding of the wooden cow made by Huang Yueying before, because it is an imitation, so the system did not rate it, which is also within Zhuge Jun's expectations.

However, Zhuge Jun did not do it this time to get the reward of the system, his purpose was just to get more raw materials in the cooking competition, and keep the materials fresh, you must know that the freshness of the raw materials will greatly affect the taste and taste of the dishes.

In fact, this is not to blame Zhuge Jun for being stingy, nor for his lack of love, but because of the previous Estee Lauder auction, these beggars and homeless people who ate and drank caused a lot of trouble to the security work of the entire conference, so this commercial competition naturally took into account the market and excluded these groups who have no purchasing power.

Of course, this does not mean that their enthusiasm for this event will fade, after all, these people have also inherited Zhuge Jun's favor, so the competition in Yipin Pavilion is tense, but outside Yipin Pavilion is full of shouts, all of them are cheering for Zhuge Jun.

The newly renovated Pimpao doesn't look like much has changed, but it has a mystery. For example, movable cabinets and foldable walls create a larger space for the viewing venue at this moment.

The two sides of the contestants are setting up stoves on the stone platform, nervously preparing.

I saw a pair of plaques with the word "Absolute Taste" written on it, and the handwriting was strong. This was specially written by Zhuge Jun with the help of Lu Su.

And Lu Su, who originally planned to return to Jiangdong with Ling Tong, was also curious about Zhuge Jun's research and this food competition, so he delayed it for half a month, but he didn't want to make Sun Quan make an unexpected decision just because of this half a month.

At this time, the plaque is the center, the left side is the attacking party Zhuge Jun, and the right side is the defending Fang Wen Pheasant (masked cook).

The following seats are respectively VIP area and ordinary area, the front row of the VIP area is selected through the test of the taste buds of the more sensitive tasters, some are including the Yan family, the Huang family, the Cai family and other representatives sent by the family, of course, there are also some Zhuge set up special money-making seats, which are naturally some of the children of some small families who want to show their faces in front of the big family, these people want to buy a seat, naturally need to pay some money, according to the seat arrangement price is also different, of course, the VIP also has the right, That's two points of voting power.

As for the ordinary area, it is a lucky draw organized by Zhuge Junming Gan Ning and Lu Xun, who use the promotional page of the previous Estee Lauder conference, and also exchange the discount event ticket for three lottery tickets, as long as one of them wins, you can go to the scene to watch the cooking competition, and have a point of voting power.

The cooking skills of both the attacking and defending sides are carried out at the same time, and the audience has never watched the cooking competition so closely, but it also feels fresh, and from time to time there will be people cheering for Zhuge Jun, but in comparison, there are many fewer cheers on Wen Pheasant's side.

Wen Pheasant didn't like to show his head very much, but when he saw many people at this time, he was very nervous, so he turned his head and secretly looked at Zhuge Jun's side, only to see that in addition to the usual stove hot pot bowl on Zhuge Jun's platform, there was a miniature version of the stone mill placed on the stone table, and the two wooden cows pulled the stone mill to rotate at the same time, and the bean juice slowly flowed into the delicate bowl from one end of the stone mill.

This invention attracted the attention of almost everyone on the field, and it also shocked Wen Pheasant.

It's not because of how subtle this invention is, but as a cook, fresh ingredients are definitely a key to adding points, and Wen Pheasant looked at the bean juice on his table that had been prepared in advance because of the need for competition, and sighed secretly.

And Zhuge Jun is nowhere to be seen at this time, so what is he doing?

It turned out that this guy was squatting on the ground and studying how to make a fire.

Not to mention that I was used to using natural gas in my previous life, and I could get out of the fire with a twist of my hand, let's just say that the current stove is fundamentally different from what I watched on TV before, Zhuge Jun, who was still a sure winner, didn't expect that it would be stuck on this hurdle, and at this time, wisps of choking smoke came out of the grass.

Fortunately, in order to prevent the smell of oil smoke from being too choking, this place was renovated and renovated, so the people below could not smell it, otherwise it is estimated that the whole house will be fainted after a while.

"Combustibles, combustibles, fire sources, and the conditions for burning are all there, why can't they burn, it's really killing the dog!" Zhuge Jun looked at the hay and firewood in his hand and muttered like reciting a formula, but the smoke was not on fire, and he secretly insulted the dog.

Although everyone in the audience could smell a slight smell of smoke, they were a little curious when they saw that Zhuge had not moved on the stage. Wen Pheasant, who was guarding the side, naturally knew what was going on Zhuge Jun's side because he was on the stage, so he walked over from this side, squatted down and asked, "Can I help you?" ”

Because of the rules, except for the people on the stage who can walk around on the stage, the people under the stage cannot go on stage, so Yu Shuang'er, who was in the VIP area, saw Wen Pheasant walking to the attacking party's stove and squatting, he couldn't see what the two people were doing at all, and an evil fire rushed to his heart, and he gritted his teeth and read:

"Vixen!"
