Chapter 146: Cooking Competition
Eating and drinking after becoming an immortal is just a habit, even if the immortals don't eat or drink for hundreds of years, they will be fine, their energy is aura.
Drunken Immortal Tower, like the Mengyuan Chamber of Commerce, will have it in every city. It's just that the drunken immortal building in Tianshan City is not as good as the world, and it is a spiritual stone. Of course, the spirit stones naturally have the value of spirit stones, and the wine and food they provide are made of the meat of demon beasts. All in all, as long as you can afford the spirit stone, the Drunken Immortal Mansion can provide you with food of corresponding value.
The stall owner took the stall and took his daughter to invite Meng Yuan to dinner. In the drunken fairy building, in order to facilitate the conversation, the stall owner chose a private room.
The wine and food are all together, and it seems that it has cost a lot of spirit stones. In the Yuan Ruler of the Dream Trace, Yang Yuning shouted that she wanted to come out to eat, and Meng Yuan persuaded: "It's not convenient now, I'll invite you to eat better when I'm done." ”
Yang Yuning looked aggrieved, "I'm hungry." ”
Meng Yuan was helpless in his heart, he was still hungry when he became an immortal, and he was greedy, as if he abused her more.
The stall owner took the lead in raising a glass, "Thank you for the gift of Dan, this cup of decay is a tribute." ”
Meng Yuan raised his glass, "How dare you, there are many offends, don't blame the immortal friends." After saying that, he followed a glass. Seeing the man named Yu'er standing behind the stall owner, he pointed to an empty seat and said, "Miss Yu'er, don't stand, let's eat together!"
Yu'er looked at her father, who nodded slightly, and walked to the empty seat and sat down. The stall owner asked again: "Immortal friends come to Tianshan City for the first time, and some rules may not be clear. ”
Meng Yuan got up and saluted: "Ask the immortal friends to solve their doubts." ”
The old man roughly explained the situation in Tianshan City, and Meng Yuan admired Qin Ce very much after listening to it. This person is not only highly cultivated, but even the city government is very deep. If he really kills people and makes a prestige after taking office, it will backfire. After all, the Northern Hells Flood War has already suppressed the cultivators to the point where it is difficult to raise their heads, and if he forces it again, he, the city lord, is afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of the previous ones.
In the conversation with the stall owner, he also got a lot of things about Yuhengfeng. The seal has not yet been lifted, and some people are not in a hurry to find an opportunity, but the result is that there is no return.
After hearing this, Lei Jie admired Meng Yuan even more. He couldn't stand Meng Yuan and Yang Yuning's friendship before, and wanted to take the first step to find out the news. Meng Yuan said to him, "Give you a word of advice, never be a bird." Let's not talk about whether Yuhengfeng has been unsealed, even if it is unsealed, in the face of unknown places, there must always be 'fearless warriors' to explore the way, and there has always been only one end for warriors - death. ”
In addition to the news of Yuhengfeng, there was another item that caught his attention - the "medicine exhibition" of Tianshan Pavilion.
The Mengyuan Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Shenzhou Continent, but it does not mean that it dominates every city. In Tianshan City, the reputation of Tianshan Pavilion is much higher than that of the Mengyuan Chamber of Commerce.
The so-called "medicine exhibition" is an auction for cultivators, which not only contains natural treasures, but also exercises, divine weapons, and the like. And the finale of this "medicine show" is very interesting, it turned out to be a snow demon.
The Tianshan Mountains are not only inhabited by human races, but also by the snow demon clan. The Snow Demon clan has a racial talent - Snow Hide. As the name suggests, as long as they are in the ice and snow, they are like fish entering the sea, and it is difficult to catch them.
After Yu'er's father and son left, Meng Yuan released Yang Yuning and ordered a table of more expensive wine and food again. Yang Yuning seemed to be hungry for many days, and grabbed it directly halfway through eating. Meng Yuan admonished on the side, "Grandma, you are a fairy, can't you pay attention to your image? Look at you, can't you wipe a mouthful of oil before eating?"
However, there was only one sentence in response to him - I was hungry.
Lei Jie didn't dare to look at Yang Yuning because of Meng Yuan, but her eating appearance really made him can't help but peek. I thought to myself, how can such a beautiful woman not have any courtesy at all? Shaking his head slightly, he expressed his disappointment with her.
Seeing this, Meng Yuan said angrily, "What do you mean by shaking your head?"
Scared, Ray explained, "I don't mean anything, I just think..."
"Do you think my wife looks ugly and doesn't know how to be polite?" Seeing that he was silent, he reprimanded, "Etiquette? Why didn't you say etiquette when you snatched my fire spirit spear?"
"I... I... At that time, I wanted to be curious and want to take a look, but I didn't really mean to rob it. Lei Zheng explained.
"Okay, since I can't get used to it, I'll call a table again. ”
Lei Jie had no choice but to go out and wait. After he went out, Yang Yuning began to serve the plates. Meng Yuan took the plate and begged: "Ancestor, you are now an immortal, not a human. Immortals are not hungry, no matter how hungry you are, you have to eat slowly with chopsticks, right?" Seeing Yang Yuning grabbing it again, she glanced at it from time to time, and said helplessly, "I have reason to suspect now that you were infected by Rong Jingwan's foodie." If it weren't for the Zhuyan Pill for you, it's hard for me to imagine what would have become of you. ”
Yang Yuning put down the plate, licked her fingers and said, "I haven't eaten enough." ”
Meng Yuan couldn't help it, and pointed to a few dishes on the table that had not been touched, "You can eat one dish on a table, and there is no picky eater like you." ”
Yang Yuning looked at him and blinked, "But I don't like to eat anything else." ”
Meng Yuan brought her a plate of dishes beside him, "This is the same as the way you eat, and the taste is not much worse." However, Yang Yuning shook her head, indicating that she didn't like to eat. Meng Yuan wondered in his heart, could there be something wrong with that dish? Greeting the guy, he ordered another plate, and Yang Yuning ate it with satisfaction.
Meng Yuan also tasted it and found that there was nothing special. Asked Yang Yuning, "Are you hungry only when you see this?" Seeing Yang Yuning nodding, he picked up the dish and observed it repeatedly. This dish is not very rare, just a plate of braised fish, and the only special thing is the addition of lotus root. I couldn't figure it out, so I asked the guy to bring the cook over.
The cook was a man who looked to be in his forties, with a red face and a big beard, and he was drinking wine when he came. Seeing Meng Yuan, he said unhappily: "Hey, what's the problem with Lao Tzu's cooking?"
Meng Yuan slapped it on the table and said sharply, "How did you make this dish?"
The bearded man glared and replied, "Braised red." ”
"Braised braised food, as a cook, you don't care about the salty, sour and spicy taste of the guests, but now you can't even control the heat, why do you have the face to be presumptuous in front of me?" Meng Yuan said.
"Nonsense, Lao Tzu has been cooking for so many years, when is the heat not in place?"
"The facts are in front of you, and you still have to quibble? Call your shopkeeper. Meng Yuan pointed to the guy and said.
The shopkeeper was an old man, and he had long been aware of the disturbance in the private room, and said gently: "Don't be angry, son, it's a small shop's problem if the food doesn't fit." I'm invited to this meal. ”
The bearded man was anxious, "The shopkeeper, he just wants to make trouble." ”
The shopkeeper glared at him, the bearded man turned a blind eye, pointed at Meng Yuan and said, "Lao Tzu has poor cooking skills, you can give it a try." ”
Meng Yuan was proud in his heart, and he snorted angrily on the surface, "Okay, I'll let you see what braised fish is today." ”
The shopkeeper was a little puzzled and stopped: "The son has a noble status, how can he enter the kitchen." Today's events, can you give the old decay a face?"
Meng Yuan didn't follow: "I have to compete with him today and take me to the kitchen." ”
The bearded man led Meng Yuan to the kitchen, Meng Yuan clasped his hands on his shoulders and said arrogantly: "Prepare the materials." ”
The bearded man endured his anger and prepared the materials, Meng Yuan lifted a fish, flipped over and said in disgust: "This time the fish dares to accept my spirit stones?"
"Nonsense, this is the fish in the spiritual pond on the Shaking Light Peak, you actually said it. ”
"You were caught by Tianchi, and you are also a secondary fish after freezing. Also, your lotus root is seven-hole, and it can only be used to make soup, not braised it. Meng Yuan swept the materials, just these two were special, so he began to find faults.
The bearded man was dumbfounded by the question, obviously thinking that he was looking for fault, but the problem was that this stubble was found at the right point. The shopkeeper came in to relieve the siege, "The old man remembers that Childe said that there is a problem with the heat, right? Why do you blame the materials now? The small shop has always charged a reasonable fee, and Childe wants fresh materials, but this is not the price." ”
"Is Ben Gongzi like a man who is short of money, get me the best materials. Meng Yuan's head was almost raised to the sky.
The shopkeeper nodded and motioned for the bearded man to prepare the materials. After a while, he was holding a black jade basin with more than a dozen fish in it. This fish lives in the extremely cold Tianshan Lingchi and is called the ice fish.
Ice fish are not easy to catch, and they will die in less than an hour after leaving the spirit pool, even if they are filled with spirit pool water, they will die without special containers. Zuixianlou uses a basin made of black jade, which can maintain the temperature of the water without affecting the activity of the ice fish.
In order to make Meng Yuan lose and find no reason, the bearded man chose the best nine-hole lotus root, which is also a good seasoning.
Meng Yuan asked everyone to leave and cook the dishes himself. The bearded man said angrily: "Didn't you say that Lao Tzu is not in good heat? ”
Meng Yuan leaned over with a face, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Do you want to steal from school?" ”
After everyone left, he began to cook, making two portions, one made of spiritual fire and the other of firewood. After doing it, he ignored the beard and served it directly to Yang Yuning. After she ate it, she asked, "Which one do you think is delicious?"
Yang Yuning thought for a moment and replied: "It's all the same!"
Meng Yuan asked again: "What about the previous one?"
"It's not too much. Pointing to the spiritual fire, "This one tastes better!"
Meng Yuan began to think, it seems that the method of the dish is not the key, the key is the material. Could it be that the fish and lotus roots in the Tianshan Spirit Pond can arouse her hunger?
Just thinking about it, I saw the bearded man holding chopsticks to taste, and after tasting the first one, he muttered, this is the same as the eight catties and eight taels made by himself, it is simply taught by a master, and even his own craftsmanship is a little better than it. But when he tasted the second serving, the expression on his face was interesting. Shameful: "I admit defeat. ”
Meng Yuan came back to his senses and said apologetically: "Actually, you have done a good job, but the materials I use are better." Then he said to the shopkeeper, "The cost of these two dishes is mine." ”
This made the shopkeeper confused, and he thought to himself what he was trying to do this? Show off his skills? But a cook, no matter how good his skills are, is not something to show off. Is it really just for cooking? Looking at Meng Yuan's overflowing love, he smiled bitterly in his heart, it turned out to be for a woman.
At the moment, he said gently: "Son, please use it slowly, this meal is considered an old treat." Then beckoned the bearded man and his men to leave.
