Chapter Seventy-Seven: No Way to Return (Part II)
The ultimate value of all dishes is only reflected in the moment when they are served on the table.
And at this moment, on the second floor of the entire Ye Tower, only the Friends Society at the end of summer and Xi Che Xingxi were sitting there, because no matter how much Ye Qing wanted to ignore and cover up this fact, but the Emperor of Sturt was now in Ye Ye, which was a fact known to everyone in the world.
So even if Ye Qing invited him to the banquet in his own name, in the end, no one dared to become the thirteenth bystander.
So serve.
The first dish was naturally cold fighting, but I saw Mo Xiaojing bring up a plate of seven-colored lotus flowers, and the petals and calyx lotus canopies were clearly visible.
Ye Qing was curious, so he put a basket in his mouth, only to feel cold and crispy, with a sense of sweetness, and suddenly realized that this was actually the shape of a lotus flower carved from a lotus root, and the carving was amazing.
"I would like to thank the president for his exquisite knife work." Mo Xiaojing said with a smile, hating Ao Xuehua's teeth. "The name of the dish, Ice Heart Snow Lotus."
Ge Sheng was more interested in the lotus pod, so he took a whole piece of it, and touched it lightly with chopsticks, revealing the lotus seeds inside, but it was brewed with wine ice, crisp and delicious, and the wine was fragrant.
This hand is second to none in terms of creativity, knife work, and ingredients, and the surrounding nature is appreciated, and each person has a basket before waiting for the next one.
The second is still Liangpin, which is the handwriting of His Majesty Xi Che, when you put it up, you can see a verdant mountain peak with undulating hills, terraced chess, and wildflowers blooming.
Ye Qing looked at Xi Che and waited for him to explain, but His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, and made a gesture of invitation.
Ye Qing got off the chopstick, and the mountain peaks rose one by one, but he found that it was the bamboo shoots that had been sliced by Xi Che before, and then skillfully stacked into peaks.
"What about this flower?" Ge Sheng said and picked up another piece, took a vermilion flower up, and looked closer, but found that the vermilion flower was actually carved from the danguo, which was juicy and crunchy, and it was difficult to carve it with it, but this majesty was able to carve it one by one, which made people stunned.
"Nature is not down." Xi Che shook his head with a smile, glanced at Xingxi, and then reported the name of the dish: "Flowers bloom." ”
Is this done on behalf of the guy who wasn't there? Ye Qing scratched his head, and then everyone tasted it one by one, the next one!
The third dish was pasta, and Ye Qing brought a plate of golden spring rolls.
"I don't make so many fancy, it's delicious that is the most important thing!"
This is a home-cooked dish taught by An Ning's mother, Ge Sheng has a bottom in his heart, so he is the first to clip a spoon, only to see that it is crispy and golden, and the fragrance is overflowing.
"Red gold." Ye Qing reported the name of the dish without any nonsense: "The batter blended fine pork is marinated in the sauce for three days, and then wrapped in raw rice skin and fried in an oil pan. ”
"Of course, if you consider that you, a little girl of thirteen, can make such complex dishes, it really should be a plus." Ao Xuehua smiled and sandwiched one: "If you think about the identity again, I'm afraid you will directly add full points." ”
Then Ao Xuehua looked at the half-bitten spring rolls and paused: "Okay, it's crispy and tender, praise." ”
The fourth course, pastry.
"You can see it, Jiuguo Snow Cake."
Ye Qing brought over the plate of pastries and directly reported the name.
Ice paste cake is a traditional pastry of orchid leaves, while Jiuguo ice cream is a more elaborate preparation method, and almost different regions are completely different flavor pastries.
Ye Qing's nine-fruit ice paste is naturally from the personal tradition of An Ning's mother.
"Rice flour is mixed with honey, vegetarian yarn sugar, mixed with water and kneaded into a ball, then compressed from a mold and steamed in a basket." Ye Qing's introduction was concise and to the point.
"Where's the heart?" Ziquan had tasted one, and she had made it for her family, but the flavor was obviously different, so she asked.
The filling of the ice cream refers to the proportion of spices in the water used to mix it, which is the core of controlling the taste of the ice cream.
"Roses, lilies, honey and mint." Ye Qing's words were concise and to the point.
Pastry is Ye Qing's best item, and it is naturally handy.
"Which nine fruits?" Xi Che asked with a smile.
Jiuguo is actually a general reference, in the Lanye culture, as the largest singular number in decimal notation, this number is generally referred to as extremely large.
On the other hand, because nine is the last number in the ranking, it is also used to describe the youngest child.
Therefore, a certain princess will be called Xiao Jiu and Nine Princesses.
"Guess for yourself!" Ye Qing pursed his lips and smiled.
"Crispy walnuts, dried grapes, boiled melon seeds, sun-dried red dates." Ge Sheng smiled and said, "Then there are fried pine cones, roasted peanuts, crushed sesame seeds, and candied plum prunes." ”
"Ahem." Ye Qing coughed loudly.
If there is really one person in this world who can eat all the nine fruits she uses, then that person can only be the person in front of her.
"One less, right?" Lan Che kept counting.
"If so." Ge Sheng spread his hands and smiled: "You don't have to guess this." ”
The fifth course, soup.
"Don't look at me, you don't want to do it, so I can only come."
Ye Qing served bowls and bowls to everyone, not like a princess at all.
"The white jade is reunited." Ye Qing returned to his seat and spread his hands and said, "Originally, it was still quite a novelty, but we have eaten green silk lotus root and jasper soup for so many days, and there are not too many surprises." ”
"yes." Mo Xiaojing looked at the soup in the bowl that was as clear as water, and several balls the size of a dragon's eye were as smooth as jade.
"Rice noodles wrapped in candied fruit are guaranteed to be delicious, but not guaranteed to be amazing." Ye Qing added embarrassedly.
His Royal Highness nodded, scooped one up with a spoon, cooled it a little, then took a bite into the white jade-like rice balls, tasted the taste, and then swallowed them in one gulp.
"It's delicious."
Then, as before, the dishes were served one by one, and then everyone tried them together.
It's a total of twelve dishes, because it happens to be twelve people.
Ye Qing host, four ways.
Mo Xiaojing is second, two.
Xi Che also has two ways.
Then Ge Sheng, Qi Xia, Shi Feng, and Ziquan each came out.
Although Ye Qing has the most, she is also ingenious, a pastry, a soup, so there are only two dishes that need to be bothered.
So one by one to win the praise of everyone, and finally arrived at the finale.
"There is no way for those who return."
Xi Che was concise and to the point, and directly said the name of the dish.
The so-called finale dish, the most important of which is the portion, because after a meal, if someone is not full, this is the most decently hurtful thing for the host's family, so the last dish is actually delicious in the second, the most important thing is to be sufficient.
So Xi Che directly served a plate half a square circle, and the silver plate lid was almost half a person high.
"What is this?" Ye Qing asked curiously.
"There is no way for those who return." Xi Che repeated the name of the dish, then lifted it.
The heat rises.
Everyone looked at the food on their plates and was almost stunned.
Grilled meat, all barbecued meat.
All of the finest barbecued meat, charred over a charcoal fire, cut into pieces of meat and stacked on a plate, is half a person tall.
If you talk about affordable portions, this dish is inevitably too affordable.
"Wild boar, wild horse meat, pheasant meat, sea bream meat." Mo Xiaojing looked at this layer of Roshan instead.
He counted from the bottom, and each layer reported the type of meat.
There are 31 layers of barbecue in this barbecue mountain, so it is composed of 31 different delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Birds and animals, horned wings and scales. Everything that should be, everything that is there.
Choose the best and most tender parts and bake them with the best chefs.
At this time, it has just been baked, and you can still see the golden grease that continues to pour out.
"Is the dish ready?"
Mo Xiaojing asked.
"Of course not." Xi Che replied with a smile.
With that, he poured a scoop of boiling water on the top of the roast.
The boiling water starts from the first layer of barbecue at the top and goes down, mixed with the fat and aroma of the meat, constantly penetrating and falling, and the boiling water on the hot barbecue encounters the boiling water, the indescribable aroma is diffuse, and the sound of sipping is endless.
It wasn't until it seemed that the boiling water had penetrated the bottom of the barbecue that Xi Che nodded and said okay.
As he spoke, he held the knife in his hand and slashed at the bottom of the barbecue, then stopped in the middle, lifted the entire barbecue mountain with a slender knife, and casually put it into the package of the space.
It was only then that everyone saw that there was something underneath the barbecue mountain.
It was a pancake, large and thick, spread all over the plate, obviously carefully made, and the dough was kneaded with sesame seeds, green peppers, and shallots, and it was golden and burnt.
But that's not all.
The scoop of boiling water that had just been poured down was only pure grease when it reached the bottom.
Thirty-one layers of fat from different meats are mixed together and eventually penetrate into this golden pancake.
With a few strokes and a few ups and downs, the whole pancake was divided into twelve equal portions, just like the hour.
"If you can't finish it, you can take it with you."
The Emperor of Sturt added.
"But why is that the name?" Ye Qing asked.
Xi Che smiled and replied lightly.
"Because too often, the person who leaves will look back and see too many things, but never find what he really needs."
"So there is no way for those who return."
