ps: Important note: On the question of why seaweed is not kelp, Lao Yu explained here that kelp is not actually a seaweed native to the coast of China, but was transmitted to China from Japan and other places at the beginning of the 2O century, which can be searched on the Internet, and the composition of seaweed is similar to kelp, and the most important thing is that seaweed also contains gluten amino acids, which is the main component of monosodium glutamate, so Lao Yu chose seaweed.

As the dishes were delivered, the guests were all conquered by the exquisite cooking skills of the empty ones, and even Zhao Yan suspected in his heart that there was a special seasoning in the empty dishes, but he also knew that even if there was no such seasoning, these dishes were absolutely delicious, no wonder so many restaurants in the capital were not as good as a feast in this Xiangji Temple.

Compared with these delicious dishes, the master of Likong is also more interesting, he can talk about Buddhism with his senior brother Liyuan, while talking about poetry with Su Shi and others, and he can also talk with Cao Song and Hu Yanping about which miscellaneous drama in the tile is the most interesting, and even did not forget to discuss the piano skills and tunes with Xue Ning'er and the two women, and in the end, even Zhao Yan was not left out in the cold, because he was also quite proficient in painting, and also pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of several paintings that Zhao Yan handed down, such a knowledgeable monk, I am afraid that he is the only one in the entire Great Song Dynastyis really a rare wonderful person.

Seeing that this incense feast was about to come to an end, suddenly the great monk Liyuan said: "Senior brother, I don't know if I haven't tasted your dishes for a long time, or because your cooking skills have made great progress, why do I feel that today's meal is more delicious than before?" ”

Hearing Yuan's question, he didn't wait for the time to answer. Su Shi, who was sitting next to Yuan, also hurriedly spoke: "Yes, yes, I also think today's food is exceptionally delicious, for example, I have eaten the first Luohan Zhai a few times, but the previous Luohan Zhai is definitely not as delicious as today!" ”

As soon as Su Shi's words came out, several other people who were not attending the incense banquet for the first time also agreed. And Zhao Yan was also stunned when he heard the words of Yuan and Su Shi and others, it turned out that he was not the only one who felt that today's dishes were too delicious, and it seemed that it was probably the first time that he used that kind of seasoning today.

After listening to everyone's questions, he smiled very freely and said: "I didn't expect everyone to have tasted it, but please let Xiao Seng sell this question here first, and you will understand when everyone tastes the last dish." ”

He stood up and went out and commanded. It didn't take long for the result. Then I saw that the little novice who had delivered the food before served a dish again, which was a soup, and I saw a clear soup in a lotus-shaped soup bowl, and there were egg flowers and something like black tulle in the soup. Su Shi and the others didn't recognize it. For a while, they all looked at the sky.

But I haven't waited for an empty opening. Zhao Yan, who was sitting there, was shocked when he saw this bowl of soup, and couldn't help blurting out: "Seaweed soup, I didn't expect Master Kong, you have seaweed here!" ”

It turned out that the last dish that came up turned out to be a very ordinary seaweed egg drop soup in later generations. Seaweed is very common in later generations, but in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Yan is still the first time to see it, and even before Zhao Yan asked people to buy it, they didn't buy it, it is estimated that because people in this era have less understanding of the sea, and the use of seafood is less, plus Tokyo is in the inner 6, and the seafood that can be seen is only some salted fish, dried scallops and the like, but the seaweed is not at all, I didn't expect to see the familiar seaweed here in the air today, which makes Zhao Yan also feel very cordial.

I wanted to introduce the seaweed, but I didn't expect Zhao Yan to say the name of the seaweed, which made him very surprised, and only after a moment did he smile and said: "I didn't expect the county king to be so knowledgeable and actually know the seaweed, I don't know if the county king knows the origin of this seaweed, how about helping us all explain?" ”

He must know seaweed very well, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it out at the end, but when he saw that Zhao Yan also recognized seaweed, he immediately gave up the idea of introducing himself, but wanted Zhao Yan to introduce it, so that Zhao Yan could be in the limelight, and it could be regarded as the beauty of an adult, and secondly, the words that came out of Zhao Yan's mouth were more convincing.

"Hehe, Master Kong, don't worry, I haven't eaten seaweed for a long time, let this king taste this soup first, and then it's not too late." Zhao Yan said and picked up the soup spoon and took a sip of seaweed soup, tasting the familiar taste of seaweed, which made him smile with satisfaction.

When Zhao Yan opened his eyes again, everyone in the meditation room was staring at him, and even Xue Ning'er showed a funny look at this time, which made Zhao Yan blush, and finally smiled cheekily: "Don't blame everyone, this king is greedy for a while, and he is really a little out of shape." ”

"Haha, the king of the county is free and easy by nature, he is really a man of temperament, which is really enviable!" Su Shi opened his mouth and laughed at this time, which caused the people around him to laugh again, and even Zhao Yan himself laughed.

Next, Zhao Yan recalled the knowledge of laver, and immediately introduced: "As far as I know, laver is a kind of seaweed that grows and grows on the reef by the sea, which can not only be eaten, but also used in medicine, with the effect of dissolving phlegm and softening firmness, clearing heat and water, nourishing the kidneys and nourishing the heart, and the laver is delicious, without any too complicated cooking, it only needs to be simply cooked and added with salt, it can be turned into a delicious soup dish, ah, I know......"

Zhao Yan suddenly patted his head when he said the end, he finally understood why the dishes he had made before were so delicious, it turned out that it was all because of these seaweeds. It's just that his last sentence startled Su Shi and the others, and they couldn't understand what Zhao Yan understood?

"Master Kong, those dishes before were extremely delicious, is it all because of these seaweeds?" Zhao Yan said excitedly, when he tasted those dishes just now, he saw that these dishes seemed to have MSG in them, and each dish was delicious and abnormal, but he couldn't understand where the other party got MSG from, and even he doubted whether Kong was also from the same as him, but he didn't expect that the other party was extracted from seaweed.

"Hahaha~, the little monk really admires the five-body throw of the king of the county, I didn't expect you to know so much about seaweed!" When he heard that Zhao Yan had debunked the secret of his cooking, he was not angry. Instead, he laughed and saluted Zhao Yan.

"Master Likong is polite, and this king only got some seaweed by chance, so I learned about seaweed, where can I match the master's erudition." Zhao Yan also said very modestly, he also has a good impression of this empty monk, maybe he can become friends with him in the future.

However, Su Shi and the others were confused about the conversation between Zhao Yan and Likong, and the great monk Liyuan even asked loudly: "King of the county, junior brother." What are you two talking about? Although this seaweed is also delicious, what does it have to do with those dishes I ate before? ”

Zhao Yan knew that Sora would definitely not take out the seaweed for no reason, he must have something to say about the seaweed, and he had already been interrupted by himself just now. So he stopped talking. Leave the following time to the air.

At this time, he took a step forward and said, "The reason why the dishes that everyone ate before were so delicious." It's all because the monk added a special seasoning to the dish, which can make ordinary dishes very delicious after being placed in the dish. And this seasoning is made from this seaweed. ”

Hearing the empty words, it immediately made Su Shi and the others very interested in the seaweed soup that came up at the end, whether it was Yuan who had secretly tasted the seaweed before, or Su Shi and others who had not eaten it, they all picked up the soup spoon and tasted the taste of the seaweed.

"Senior brother, do you still have the seasoning made of seaweed? Be sure to leave some for me, with this spice, the poor monk will be blessed in the future. At this time, Monk Yuan laughed again and said, although he is a monk, he is different from ordinary monks, because he never abstains, and it is precisely because of this that he will become friends with Su Shi, a famous foodie in history.

"Yes, yes, you must leave some for me when you are free, and there is also seaweed, I don't know where to buy it?" Su Shi drank all the seaweed soup in the bowl at this time, and then laughed and said, I didn't expect that this fragrant soup banquet not only tasted the food, but also knew that the seaweed was a delicious food, which was really rewarding.

Liyuan and Su Shi started up, Li Gonglin and Cao Song and others also spoke, but they were not as familiar as Su Shi and Likong, so the rest of the people wanted to spend money to buy, and even Xue Ning'er opened his mouth to join in, and only Zhao Yan and the quasi-Bingbing Yan Yuru did not speak.

However, for the words of Su Shi and others, Likong shook his head helplessly and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, although that kind of seasoning is from the seaweed, but because it is not easy to manufacture, the number of this seasoning is extremely rare, and the seasonings in the hands of the little monk are all used in today's incense feast." ”

Hearing Kong's words, Su Shi and the others shook their heads with some regret, but at this time, Cao Song was a little unwilling to say: "Master Likong, can you help me make some more of this seasoning, I am willing to buy it at a high price, and donate money to reshape the golden body of the Buddha in Xiangji Temple!" ”

Cao Song managed the Cao family's business during this time, and he was also contaminated with the habits of many businessmen, and now he saw that the seasoning made of seaweed was so magical, so he naturally didn't want to let it go. However, for his words, Likong shook it again and said: "Master Cao, it's not that the little monk is unwilling to make that kind of seasoning, but that kind of seasoning is difficult to make, and the output is extremely low. ”

Hearing Kong's words, Cao Song wanted to hold on a little longer, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to suddenly speak: "Brother Jiu'er, don't be embarrassed Master Kong, the output of that kind of spice is too low, and it is impossible to manufacture it in large quantities." ”

"Low yields?" Cao Song was also a little disappointed when he heard Zhao Yan's words, but he still asked, "Third brother, how low is the output of that seasoning?" ”

"Hehe, let's talk to you like that." Zhao Yan said this and pointed to the meditation room where they were, "If you use seaweed to fill this meditation room, you can only make one or two catties of that kind of seasoning in the end." ”

"Hiss~" Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Su Shi and the others all gasped, and then they knew the preciousness of that spice, and Cao Song was directly deflated and never mentioned the seasoning again. However, at this time, Zhao Yan looked at the void, and then said with a smile: "Master Kong, you spent so much effort to introduce seaweed to us, there must be another purpose, right?"
