Chapter 17: Then He's Not Going to Be Polite (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation!) )
Zhao Jiuxiang still looked cold.
It's just that when he talks to Chen Er, he brings a bit of gentleness.
"This is a banquet for me personally, and I invited some partners and friends."
"Hopefully there will be some fresh food."
What he means is that some of the specialties of well-known cuisines don't have to be cooked.
Zhao Jiuxiang said again, "You only need to make the main dish, and the other side dishes can be handed over to others to do." ”
Chen Er was still quite satisfied with Zhao Jiuxiang's arrangement, there were not fifteen or twenty people attending the banquet, if so many people had to rely on him to fill their stomachs, then I am afraid he would be exhausted to death in the kitchen.
"And." Zhao Jiuxiang's expression was serious, "I hope this banquet is as perfect as possible." ”
Chen Er raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Try to be perfect, then he won't be polite.
Zhao Jiuxiang accompanied Chen Er to see the kitchen.
No matter what Chen Erti asked, he agreed to them one by one without the slightest hesitation.
Chen Er only glanced at the kitchen and asked for a new one.
He walked to the window, looked out at the large garden, and pointed to an open space, "Split a place there and get a kitchen." ”
"Make four stoves, all made of mud and red bricks that have good heat dissipation. I'll give you a drawing when I get back, and I'll do it according to the method on the drawing. ”
When a middle-aged man followed behind Zhao Jiuxiang heard this, he hurriedly took out a small notebook and quickly wrote down Chen Er's request.
Chen Er leaned against the window and said slowly, "Then use fine marble to build a long case that is two meters long and one meter wide." ”
"The best wood for the kitchen is paulownia, mahogany or bamboo."
"The water used in the kitchen should be taken from Yuquan Mountain in Yanjing, scooped with a bamboo tube, poured into an earthen or porcelain jar, and covered the mouth of the jar with wood and branches, so that it could not be stained with the slightest smell of metal in the middle."
Hearing these words, Zhao Jiuxiang, who had been expressionless, finally felt a little moved.
The middle-aged man who followed him even looked dumbfounded and wanted to continue writing.
Chen Er thought for a moment, then looked at Zhao Jiuxiang.
"Well, I forgot to mention that although you seem to be quite rich, my requests can be very laborious and costly."
Zhao Jiuxiang nodded very casually, "These requirements are not difficult for me. ”
His reaction was also expected by Chen Er.
So he nodded his head and continued.
Zhao Jiuxiang glanced at the middle-aged man behind him at the right time, and he reacted and hurriedly picked up his pen to keep up with Chen Er's progress.
"I also need some ice, and if I can, I hope to take it from Changbai Mountain, break it up and send it to the kitchen for later use. Didn't need much ......"
Chen Er pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand and gestured, "The earthen tank that is as high as my waist can fill a tank." ”
The middle-aged man was so excited in the back that he almost broke the pen in his hand.
A half-human-high vat filled with a tank, but it's embarrassing to say not much?
Not to mention taking it down from Changbai Mountain and transporting it to Yanjing.
It will be done in just three days.
In three days, it's time for the banquet!
Unexpectedly, Chen Er muttered, "If only there were glacier ice cubes that have been melting for years......
When the middle-aged man heard this, he almost rolled his eyes to the sky.
I thought to myself, this kid has a really big appetite, and the glaciers that have not melted for years are only available at the foot of the mountain and on the top of the mountain, who has nothing to climb so high, and has to carry a large piece of ice down?
There is no such thing as looking for death.
He didn't know that Chen Er really thought so.
However, what Chen Er thought was that the next time he saved enough points to upgrade the small world, he must build a big snow mountain.
It's best to make one like the appearance of Kunlun Mountain.
When the time comes, don't mention how cool it is.
Chen Er followed Zhao Jiuxiang to wander around the garden, and then continued to make requests.
"All the charcoal used for cooking in the kitchen is made of paulownia wood."
"All spatulas for stir-frying are made of iron."
"36 large steamers are also needed. It's all made from freshly cut bamboo. ”
At this point, Chen Er suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Zhao Jiuxiang.
"What are you going to use for the tableware at the banquet?"
Zhao Jiuxiang said, "I just made a batch of blue and white porcelain tableware from Jingdezhen, and it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow." ”
"Blue and white porcelain ......" Chen Er retracted his gaze, "It's okay." ”
Zhao Jiuxiang was suddenly stunned when he heard this.
The middle-aged man who followed behind couldn't help but roll his eyes again.
What does it mean to be okay? Does this kid know how much it cost to rush out a batch of blue and white porcelain?
Chen Er continued to walk in the garden, "Then the chopsticks are made of green bamboo." ”
Green bamboo and blue and white porcelain, think about it is quite a match.
Chen Er asked, "Where are the guests eating?" ”
The middle-aged man in the back said, "Of course, the guests are eating in the hall, and there will be some decoration." ”
Chen Er showed a happy expression, "Let's go, go over and take a look." ”
The middle-aged man took Chen Er and Zhao Jiuxiang over to look at each other with a smug expression.
"This is a designer who has been specially invited to design it, and there will be flowers flown in from New Zealand here."
After speaking, he looked at Chen Er with a look of me.
Then he looked at Zhao Jiuxiang again, waiting for his praise.
Zhao Jiuxiang didn't speak, and Chen Er didn't speak.
It was very quiet for a while.
The middle-aged man was a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Jiuxiang looked at Chen Er, "What advice does Master Chen have?" ”
Chen Er also opened up and said, "This place is well furnished, but it doesn't match the dishes I want to make." It's as discordant as the beauty of the wide-sleeved kaftan playing the violin at the XN Opera House. ”
Zhao Jiuxiang said, "Then is Master Chen willing to help transform." ”
Chen Er is of course 10,000 willing.
Eating is like cooking tea, the person who cooks the dishes is very important, the ingredients are also important, the tableware is important, and even the environment in which you eat is also important.
The ancients still had to pay attention to a meandering water, and our modern conditions are better, shouldn't we pay more attention to it.
Zhao Jiuxiang is a perfectionist at first glance, and he is happy to see it.
Chen Er glanced at the flowers in the courtyard outside.
Then he slapped his hands sharply.
"I remember that there was a place in your yard where a wooden shed was built and a lot of mandarin duck vines were planted."
"Clean up under that shed, and you'll be fine."
Zhao Jiuxiang thought about it carefully, and he also felt that it was good, that place was indeed big enough.
And now is the season of mandarin duck vine flowering, and the fragrance is pleasant.
Chen Er and Zhao Jiuxiang went over there to take a look.
Chen Er pointed to the open space under the shed, "The banquet is held at night, and there are many small insects in places with many flowers and plants, so just light some incense that can repel insects when the time comes." ”
"The incense is placed in a small copper furnace with a nice shape, and then it is hung up and hung on the shed."
"The lights are all white energy-saving lamps, and the outside is covered with colorful glass covers. The tripod of the lamp is half a person tall and placed at the back of the seat, so it can illuminate and look good. ”
"When the time comes, it's up to you to set the table for dinner." Chen Er suddenly looked at the middle-aged man behind him who was speechless.
The man's eyes lit up.
"Choose a calmer wood color."
"You can put some flowers on the table to put in a bottle."
"Choose the pink one for the moon season and insert it in a white porcelain vase."
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.
Chen Er said, "Wait a minute, I'll write out the list of ingredients you need and prepare it for you." ”
