The aroma of spicy chicken is so strong that it is not comparable to the previous dishes, the main hall is full of oily flavor, and through the thin silk curtain connecting the side hall, the two women behind the silk curtain are drooling.

"It smells so good! I don't know what it is. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, if you don't let this person present the spicy chicken now, I won't participate in today's competition." Wu Ruyi took a sip of tea and proposed.

Princess Runan looked at the plate in front of her, and after several hesitations, she nodded in agreement because the aroma was too tempting.

Princess Runan wanted to eat spicy chicken, and Xia Shang naturally complied.

A plate of spicy chicken was served, and the two women inside were smiling. Although the appearance of the two women is high and low, the sweetness of their laughter is indistinguishable.

"It's right to stay here!"

The attention of the two women around them is on the spicy chicken, looking at the golden red skin of the spicy chicken, and even the hot oil is bubbling on it, the thick aroma comes to the nose, just thinking about it is dry and feels the taste of the outside is charred and tender, the rich chicken juice is not lost in the slightest after frying, and the hot juice is in the mouth when you bite it.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Princess Runan took a sip, and the heat made her fan her mouth uncontrollably, just like the Monkey King drank for the first time, but this Monkey King looked too good.

"What a hemp! It's spicy! Wu Ruyi, who was beside him, couldn't help but sigh.

But even though it was numb and spicy, the two girls couldn't help but continue to taste it.

The last dish not only made the two girls salivate, but also made everyone in the audience like a magic barrier, chili pepper showed its magic for the first time in this world, as long as any ingredient is rendered by chili, any dish will show a distinctive style.

Everyone was concentrating on tasting the spicy chicken, and the spicy flavor made everyone forget to speak, but when everyone ate more and more, someone stopped chopsticks: "No, no!" Water, give me water. ”

The eldest lady smiled: "It's the final stage of the competition, and according to the rules, you can't drink water." If you want to drink water, it means that you have taken the initiative to give up the competition for Huajinzi. ”

"What? And this rule? The person who spoke was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and after several hesitations, he finally chose to compromise, "That's it, I don't want this flower brocade, hurry up and bring me a glass of water." ”

In the side hall, the lips of the two beauties are dyed with a layer of fiery red, exuding an oily luster, which looks so attractive.

Princess Runan held the chopsticks, looking at the spicy chicken that still had most of it left, hesitating, obviously it had been spicy and tearful, but she still looked at the chicken and swallowed saliva.

It's funny that Princess Tang Tang showed this, Xia Shang was secretly happy, and Wu Ruyi seemed to understand something: "I know." What a trick empty gloves white wolf! ”

Xia Shang was shocked, this Wu Ruyi was so smart? No wonder she can be an empress in the future.

Wu Ruyi looked at Xia Shang, stretched out his little tongue and licked his lips that were still a little red before speaking: "You little cook, where did you get so many ghost ideas?" ”

"Sister Wu, these are all the ideas of the eldest lady, I am just a subordinate, but I just do what I am told."

This can deceive others, but it can't deceive me. If it weren't for the chef himself, who would have thought that there would be such a dish in the world? You challenge the endurance of diners with the four flavors of sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, and you can't think of anything else to think of. ”

Xia Shang smiled undeniably, and then asked rhetorically: "Sister Wu is not also a woman, everyone present did not find out about it, but my sister found out, it can be seen that my sister is also very human, and her future should be limitless." ”

Xia Shang's words made Wu Ruyi stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and his eyes showed a hint of gloom: "Future? What future do I have? Next year, I will enter the palace as a talented person, and then stay in the palace for the rest of my life**, and it will be a blessing to be able to live a safe life. ”

"Sister Wu, you can't be so discouraged, you must know that gold will shine sooner or later."

"Is it gold that will shine sooner or later?" Wu Ruyi muttered, the darkness in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and he glanced at Xia Shang in disbelief.

……

As time passed, the guests chose to drink water one by one. The previous three flavors of "sweet and sour" were not so bad that people couldn't swallow, but the last taste of "spicy" became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The fundamental reason is that the dogwood used by the Tang people is far inferior to the chili pepper, and the dishes with the chili pepper suddenly become spicy, which is naturally difficult for the Tang people to accept. And spicy is the only flavor that is daunting.

First-time chili guests never thought the spicy taste would be so thrilling, like a lotus flower in a pond, which can be viewed from a distance and cannot be desecrated.

As the scorching sun became more and more poisonous in the afternoon, the guests of the Saijia gradually left.

In the end, no one was able to finish this last dish. Judging from the expressions of the guests who left the Sai family, they didn't seem to be unwilling or regretful, thinking about the four dishes on the table today, and the words of the eldest lady of the Sai family at the end, they were thoughtful and rewarded.

……

Soon, in the spacious kitchen of the Xiangshi Tianxia Restaurant diagonally opposite the Saijia, a table was placed on the four dishes of today's Saijia banquet. Although each dish is leftovers eaten by others, it is cold.

"Bittersweet and sour. The four flavors of life, those who want to eat one flavor alone will be difficult, only the four flavors can be tasteful, just as life can not be happy and sad, and the alternation of joy and sorrow is the right way in life. A plainly dressed subordinate said with a heavy face.

The shopkeeper of the fragrant food world is a fat and fat mustache, called Hu Bei, his eyes are very small, but at this time he is shining: "This is the last thing Mrs. Saijia said?" ”

The man nodded.

Hu Bei stroked his mustache and sighed: "What a Saijia wife, I didn't expect that after Master Sai left, the Saijia could produce such a shrewd wife." I don't think this Saijia will fall away. ”

"What do you mean, shopkeeper?"

Mrs. Saijia said this to tell those guests that Saijia is like a dish on today's table, the sour will not be sour to the end, and the sweetness will not be so sweet that it will be greasy, and the Saijia has just experienced sad things, and will not experience worse things in the future. At the same time, using life as a metaphor adds a bit of connotation to a businessman's family, and this word will definitely make a group of literati have a great change in their opinion of the Saijia. Today's feast is a complete set, and every step leads to this last sentence. I am afraid that there are few commercial houses in the entire Chang'an City who can have such an arrangement, and Mrs. Ji and her daughter will have such a mind? I underestimated her before! ”

When Hu Bei spoke, a person at the table was looking at the four dishes on the table, and he was dressed as the chef of this restaurant.

After Hu Bei finished speaking, the chef said to Hu Bei with a solemn face: "Shopkeeper, compared to Mrs. Nasaijia, I think these four dishes are more amazing!" ”

"Even you say that? Tell us what you found. ”
