"Yes," Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, and Zhang Hu replied immediately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, the two of you are responsible for cutting the pier."
"Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, the two of you are responsible for preparing the materials."
"Zhang Hu, you follow me to cook."
"Zhou Cang, you are responsible for chores." Wang Sen commanded at the first time.
At this time, everyone moved, and at the same time, everyone also understood why Wang Sen had been cooking on their behalf during this time, it turned out that he was laying the foundation for going to Jingzhou to cook.
And everyone has also learned different crafts, for example, Dian Wei and Xu Chu learned knife skills, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang learned to know materials, Zhang Hu has always been stir-frying, but Zhou Cang, he joined the latest, and he didn't learn anything, and now he can only do chores.
However, at this time, Zhou Cang also understood that if he wanted to live a relaxed life in the future, he would need to learn a cooking skill, otherwise he would always do chores, which would be really tiring.
All of them are in their places...
Zhang Hu picked up Wang Sen's recipe and said: "Hot dishes, pearl tofu balls, sorrel fat sausage, Lao Dian, I want good meat filling, Zilong I want clean fat sausage, you can help me prepare it." ”
"Cold dishes, cold pork ears, cucumber rolls, Lao Xu, cut the pig ears into shreds, cut the cucumbers into sections and hollow them out, Gongming will prepare all the ingredients for me."
"Main course, sauce board duck, Zhou Cang, I'll use it after killing a duck, everyone hurry up."
After Zhang Hu finished speaking, a person prepared pork ribs and rice, after all, the last soup was pork rib soup, and the staple food was fried rice with minced meat.
And Wang Sen was not idle at this time, shuttling among several people, pointing out their cooking skills from time to time.
"Brother Dian, this meat filling must be chopped, otherwise it will be made into meatballs and it will not taste good."
"Zilong, if you wash this fat intestine, use chopsticks to wear it, so it's much easier."
"Brother Xu, if you shred it, you can cut it along the texture of the meat, so that the taste will be better."
"Gongmei, the ingredients should be separated, and if you mix them, the taste will be impure."
……………
Watching Wang Sen answer the cooking things for everyone one by one, Zhou Cang was envious at this time,
His miscellaneous work has no technical content at all, either killing this, killing that, and then helping people to do it, anyway, he is so busy that he is more tired than going to the battlefield.
Zhou Cang said secretly, it's better to learn the same craft quickly, just like everyone else, as long as you finish the work in your hand, you can rest.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and Zhang Hu to be busy with their own work, and they sat aside and began to brag.
And Zhou Cang was the only one who cleaned up the final endgame for them.
"Hey, I said brothers, you're done, and you don't say come to help me, it's too boring!" Zhou Cang said with some unevenness.
"I said Lao Zhou, it's not that we don't help you, this is the best time for you to exercise, how can we take care of your progress?"
"Besides, we're a skilled worker, so don't look like we're sitting here and it's okay, but we're talking about technology."
"You don't understand this, let's do your job well!" Zhang Hu was talking nonsense there.
As soon as Zhang Hu's words were finished, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately nodded and echoed on the side
"Lao Zhou, you just came, you don't understand it yet, you will understand it later, this is technology."
"That's right, Lao Zhou, we're also discussing cooking, your level, it's not good yet."
……….
Listening to the four of them talking there, Zhou Cang was speechless, these people are really enough to say, talk about cooking, so that Zhou Cang has no way at all, who told him that he really doesn't understand!
Zhou Cang rolled his eyes, ignored them anymore, and continued to do the work in hand alone.
And Wang Sen sat on the sidelines and watched everyone bickering, snickering there.
It's not that Wang Sen doesn't help Zhou Cang, but he understands that everyone is joking, and this is also a good opportunity to motivate Zhou Cang to learn more things, so Wang Sen also acquiesced in this matter.
……..
Time passed quickly, the sky gradually darkened, and Wang Sen knew that Liu Biao's birthday banquet was about to start.
He clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, pay attention, I will cook for Liu Biao in a while, what you want to see, just watch it on the side, if there is anything you don't understand, ask me directly, I will give you an answer." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Sen's words were finished, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion came to the room and said to Wang Sen: "Lord Wang, the people have arrived, Lord Liu asked me to inform you that you can cook!" ”
Wang Sen nodded and said to the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion: "You go back and tell Lord Liu, I will start here." Then, Wang Sen glanced at Zhou Cang and said, "Zhou Cang, you go to the door to guard it, don't let others in, and I'll start stir-frying." ”
Zhou Cang had no choice but to walk out impatiently and set up a sentry at the door.
At the moment when he just walked out of the door, he heard a sound of 'bang', and a special fragrance came out of the room, Zhou Cang knew that this was the sound of oiling, it seemed that Wang Sen had made a move...
At the same time, the voices of Zhang Hu and others were also heard in the room.
"Big brother, your dish is also too good, it's really delicious, let's try it again!"
"My lord, is this a private dish? Sure enough, it lives up to its name, and it is much more delicious than ordinary stir-fried dishes. ”
"Wang Sen, it's really yours, you can make this kind of dish, it's really amazing!"
………….
Listening to everyone's discussions, Zhou Cang's heart was itching, he knew that Zhang Hu and the five people were trying it, and he could hear that the taste was really good, Zhou Cang was a little greedy, and at the same time, Wang Sen also finished all the dishes,
"Zhou Cang, come in, our dishes are finished!"
After hearing this, Zhou Cang suddenly came to his senses, and he immediately ran into the room, and saw Zhang Hu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and Dian Wei all with their mouths full of oil, and they were burping from time to time.
Zhou Cang knew that these people had already tried the food, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, and said with some grievances: "Okay, I'm guarding outside, you guys are here to taste the food, and you don't leave some for me, you brothers can't talk too much!" ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this...
Zhang Hu came to Zhou Cang's side and said: "Old Zhou, we are brothers, how can we forget you, we have left you a lot." After speaking, Zhang Hu pointed to the cabinet under the room.
Zhou Cang fixed his eyes and saw that it was really like this, it was filled with various dishes below, and Zhou Cang's face suddenly smiled, "I'm sorry, I just blamed everyone, I, Zhou Cang, am here to apologize to you!" ”
After saying that, Zhou Canggang wanted to try these private dishes, but Dian Wei stopped him on the side
"Lao Zhou, we don't have to say anything to you, but you can't eat without finishing your work!"
"Now you go and call the people of the Liu Mansion in, let them serve the food, and when you are done, you will eat..."
Zhou Cang suddenly lost his temper, he didn't expect that there was still this thing waiting for him, Zhou Cang didn't dare to take on any more affairs, and immediately went to the subordinates of the Liu Mansion. At this time, Wang Sen was also invited by Liu Biao to have dinner together.
……..
The hall of Liu's mansion is really full of talents at this time, and all the official eunuchs in Jingzhou City are present to celebrate Liu Biao's birthday, and the scene is also very spectacular.
Liu Biao also came out to express his gratitude at the first time,
"Today is the old man's 60th birthday banquet, I didn't expect everyone to gather here so warmly, the old man is deeply honored."
"Especially Her Royal Highness the Princess, who came from thousands of miles away, flattered the old man, and the old man also remembered everyone's intentions."
"At the same time, the old man is also very grateful to one person, that is, Lord Wang Sen, the leader of the imperial kitchen."
"Everyone knows that Lord Wang's cooking skills are really rare in the world, and it is definitely a great blessing to be able to eat the dishes he cooks, but today Lord Wang not only prepared a birthday banquet for the old man, but also took out his exclusive secret private dishes, which made the old man extremely moved, this is definitely the best gift for the old man's birthday."
"So the old man is here to thank Lord Wang, thank you for everything you have done for the old man."
Hearing this, Wang Sen couldn't sit still, he immediately got up and said: "Lord Liu, you don't have to be so polite, I also feel very honored to be able to participate in your birthday banquet, and private food is also a part of my heart to Lord Liu, I hope Lord Liu will be satisfied." ”
As soon as Wang Sen's words were finished, Liu Biao suddenly laughed, "Okay, Lord Wang, the old man is no longer polite to you, let us taste the delicious food you made." ”
After speaking, Liu Biao clapped his hands, and the subordinates of Liu's Mansion also began to serve the food, and at the same time, the guests sitting there also showed a look of expectation.
Sure enough, when the hot dish pearl tofu balls and fat intestines came up, everyone couldn't hold it and ate it, pearl tofu balls, delicious and juicy and tender and smooth, the taste was very delicious, after everyone tasted it, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they secretly sighed that it was really delicious, but this amount was really a little less, only four.
And the fat sausage taste is particularly fragrant and tender, the fat sausage is fat and heavy, oily but not greasy, and it makes people have an endless aftertaste, but unfortunately it is the same as pearl tofu balls, the amount of dishes is really too small, and it is gone without eating a few bites, which makes everyone a little disappointed.
At the same time, everyone also whispered,
"Lord Wang is a good cook, but this dish is too little, and I haven't eaten enough!"
"Yes, such a delicious thing, only making such a little bit is really disappointing."
…………..
At this time, Liu Biao also had the same feeling, how could Wang Sen make so little, is it because there are not enough ingredients?
No, these are all controlled by Wang Sen personally, did he miscalculate?
Just when Liu Biao wanted to inquire on behalf of everyone, Wang Sen took the lead and said: "Everyone, please be quiet, the pearl tofu balls and fat sausages on the table now are just two hot dishes, which are used for everyone to appetize." ”
"After that, there will be cold dishes, main dishes, soups and main dishes, and I hope you will enjoy them slowly."
As soon as Wang Sen's words were finished, almost everyone's faces turned red unconsciously, this is not to say that they have done anything wrong, but that they have too little knowledge and are too embarrassed!
It's also the first time they've heard of cold and hot dishes for dinner...
