During the conversation, the shopkeeper brought the dishes ordered by Changle to the table, and immediately the table was full of various dishes, such as suckling pig, steamed dumplings with Longtaizi, abalone chicken crispy, Longding crispy chicken, top poplar branch nectar, bird's nest stewed fresh milk and horseshoe pork bone soup.

At the same time, the shopkeeper brought a few small dishes and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, these dishes were given by our boss, and he said that you are all the most outstanding disciples of the major factions, and it is our honor to come to our restaurant." ”

Chang Le swallowed his saliva, looked at the dishes presented by the boss, and said with a smile: "Your boss is really generous, the gifts are stewed duck paws with foie gras, stewed sea cucumbers, crab roe xiaolongbao, gold leaf seafood roasted wheat, black truffle roasted eel, these dishes are not cheap." ”

"But I don't know much about this dish, what kind of fish do you use?" Chang Le's interest in cooking is getting stronger and stronger, but at this time, he saw a dish that he couldn't recognize, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

I saw that in the center of the table, there was a large plate of freshly stewed fish, the body was long, the meat was white and tender, the body was bright white, and there was a pair of long whiskers, which smelled fragrant and made people can't help but move their appetite.

"This dish is specially made for all the guests, and it can't be found in the menu of our restaurant, called Wuyue Star Grouper, the meat is white, fragrant and tender, and the entrance is sweet, but it is a first-class delicacy, and ordinary people can't eat it."

"Oh? Could it be that this kind of Wuyue star grouper is not sold to the public? Chang Le asked with interest.

The shopkeeper smiled, nodded and said: "Exactly, this kind of Wu Yue star grouper is very rare, it is said to be a different species in ancient times, only in the ancient Yue Kingdom and Wu Kingdom, that is, the current Jiangnan region has a small amount of production, this kind of fish reproductive capacity is very low, the annual output is probably not more than 100, most of them are transported to our Longding Xuan." As he spoke, the little two faintly showed a hint of pride.

Chang Le swallowed a mouthful of saliva, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite into his mouth, immediately closed his eyes and nodded repeatedly, and said: "The meat quality is really good, but the cooking technique is better, the sweetness should be the ancient sugar of Xiangjiang, and the ginger slices are added to remove the smell, as well as the fragrance of green onions, it should be fried with fresh shallots and shallots before steaming, and the most rare thing is to combine the flavors of ginger shreds, soy sauce, star anise, pepper, and spice to knock to the benefit, amazing!" ”

Seeing Chang Le's intoxicated appearance, the other four people moved their chopsticks one after another, and couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and stretched out to the Wuyue star grouper, sandwiched a piece of tender meat from the belly of the fish, closed their eyes and enjoyed this rare delicacy.

"Well, it's really delicious!" Ling Yi'er couldn't help but admire, and her two pairs of white calves swayed happily under the table.

"As long as the guest officers are satisfied, the little ones will retire first." Seeing that everyone looked very satisfied, the shopkeeper seemed to be relieved and respectfully withdrew.

"Chang Le, you are really an expert! Like what I ate Wu Yue star grouper, I can only say whether it is delicious or not, you just taste it, and you have already figured out the condiments and methods. Li Taibai said with admiration.

"Hehe, I've won awards, come on, come on, don't be stunned, what about this table of dishes, move chopsticks." Chang Le pointed to the dishes on the table and said enthusiastically.

He got up and took everyone's small bowls in turn, scooped a full bowl of horseshoe pork bone soup for the four of them, and said, "This horseshoe pork bone soup is a good thing, let's drink this soup before eating." ”

Seeing Chang Le say this, everyone picked up a small spoon and began to slowly taste this horseshoe pork bone soup, Li Wuyan said while drinking: "Well, this soup tastes really mellow, it should have been boiled for more than eight hours." ”

Although he is not as good as Changle in terms of eating, after all, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has a lot of research in this area.

"Why are all the people of your Shushan Sword Sect like the God of Cooking, could it be that the food in Shushan is particularly good, haha." Li Taibai said with a smile.

"Oops, hey, I forgot, Senior Brother Hongzhi is a monk, and this horseshoe pork bone soup is a meat and fishy thing, and you can't drink it!" Chang Le seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately frightened him to slap the table and get up, and hurriedly stopped Hongzhi, who was drinking soup there.

"Hahaha, you underestimate Hongzhi too much." Li Taibai touched Hongzhi's shiny little bald head and said: "I have also had a ten-year friendship with Hongzhi, he is a wine and meat monk, let alone a little meaty, I haven't seen any dishes he doesn't eat!" ”

"This ...... That's okay, Brother Hongzhi, do you have any misunderstanding of Buddhism? Chang Le sat back in his chair and asked in embarrassment.

Isn't it true that there can't be contaminated with meat in Buddhism?

I saw Hongzhi smile freely, whispered a sentence of Amitabha, and said with a smile: "As the so-called wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha stays in his heart, as long as he is sincere, as for what to eat, it doesn't matter." ”

As soon as the words fell, he swallowed his saliva, looked at the suckling pig on the table with fragrant aroma and golden oil dripping down, and couldn't help but grab the pork leg and gnawed it, as if he didn't feel greasy enough, he grabbed a small piece of cut pork skin and put it in his mouth, and the whole sheet was covered with oil and water in the most instant, looking like a monk.

"Huh...... It seems that Brother Hongzhi's understanding of Buddhism is really in place. Chang Le smiled, looked at Hongzhi's oily mouth and slightly bulging belly, and said secretly in his heart: "This little monk Hongzhi is simply wine and meat through the intestines, and there are three layers of meat on the belly......"

"Come, don't patronize eating, this bottle is my treasure in Longding Xuan, Chang'an Moutai! This is a wine as famous as Shaoxing's daughter red, and it is rare to get together today, and everyone is drunk and homeless! Li Taibai enthusiastically poured wine for everyone.

Although Chang Le and Li Wuyan didn't like to drink, they also felt quite close after talking with these three people, and they didn't want to ruin their interest, so they had to drink a few glasses with them.

After a few glasses of spirits, a trace of red powder appeared on Ling Yi'er's originally pretty face, which made Chang Le look a little stunned.

"Ahem! Cough! It's rude to stare at a girl like that. Li Taibai reminded with an embarrassed cough.

"I'm sorry, I ......" Chang Le scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard it, and just wanted to explain, but he was suddenly stunned.

It turned out that Li Taibai's words were said to Hongzhi beside him.

Monk Hongzhi drank a lot of wine and ate meat in a big bowl, his cheeks were already red at this time, and his mouth was full of oil, but after he saw Lingyi'er with a slightly red face, his eyes were round, and his little head rested on the dining table, so he kept staring at Lingyi'er, and a trace of crystal saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"This ...... It's really ugly to eat......" Chang Le embarrassedly covered his face with his hands and twisted his head to the side, just staring at Li Wuyan, the two looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads helplessly, this Master Hongzhi is really a clear stream among the disciples of Buddhism.
