072 Rainbow of seven colors
'Dragon Gate Inn! Damn, can't this guy take a reliable name? Standing outside the chef's tavern, Lin Heng looked at the four big golden characters and was speechless.
The Dragon Gate Inn is an inn opened by the chef himself, and the business of this inn is not good, but it is very profitable. Let's put it this way, although this Dragon Gate Inn is a tavern on the surface, it is actually a place for people to come up with new dishes every time they come up with new dishes. He invited the chefs of other restaurants, let them taste his own dishes, and then sold them the recipes.
With this method, the human chef made a lot of money, but this guy obviously couldn't keep the money, so he bought the ingredients and then continued to research new dishes.
Walking into the inn, Lin Heng found that many people came here today, but looking at the outfits of these people, they were not tavern chefs, but people from the rivers and lakes.
"Huh? He's here too? Suddenly, Lin Heng's expression froze and he said in surprise.
Li Mochou glanced at it curiously and said, "What?" See an acquaintance? ”
Lin Heng nodded, pulled Li Mochou to walk to an old man with gray hair, and said respectfully: "Qigong, I didn't expect you to come too." ”
"Lin boy......" Hong Qigong saw that it was Lin Heng, laughed twice, and immediately pulled him to sit down, and said: "Lin boy, the things made by the human chef are very delicious, how can I not come?" By the way, Lin boy, this is ......" Hong Qigong looked at Li Mochou and Lin Heng's intimate appearance, with an ambiguous look on his face.
Lin Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Seventh Prince, this is the wife of the next, Li Mochou." Mo Chou, this is the former leader of the Beggar Gang, the Nine-Fingered God Beggar Hong Qigong! ”
"Li Mochou has seen the Seventh Prince!" Li Mochou naturally knew the name of the Seventh Duke of Dao Hong, and immediately got up to salute. Qigong Ha Luha smiled, immediately asked her to sit down, and said, "Little girl, don't be polite." Lin Xiaozi said with good luck, this little girl is no worse than Guo Jing's Rong'er. ”
Lin Heng smiled, and immediately changed the topic: "Qigong, you also know a human cook?" ”
"I've only heard of him, I haven't been in contact with him. Boy, I've heard that this man's cook is both good and evil, and you kid didn't come here to make friends with him, did you? ”
"What did the Seven Princes say? I met Chef Ren a few years ago, and although he is a grotesque person, he is a good person. It's just that this guy is extremely obsessed with cooking, so he looks a little weird to others. Lin Heng shook his head and explained. Qigong, when I met the chef, I tasted a dish he cooked, and that dish had three flavors, which was really unprecedented. This time, the chef himself posted a post, and he must have invented a more delicious dish. Your elderly family can come here, but there is an oral administration. ”
"Is it true that there are three flavors in one dish?" Hong Qigong couldn't believe it. How can there be three flavors in one dish? He Hong Qigong can also be said to have eaten all over the world, but such a strange dish, let alone eating, he has never heard of it.
"Of course it's true, how can I lie about such a thing. But that dish is very troublesome to make, otherwise it would have been in Hangzhou City a long time ago. Now it seems that those ordinary chefs can't learn. Lin Heng shook his head with some pity. The cooking skills of a human chef are really unprecedented, but it is a pity that his cooking skills use kung fu, which makes it impossible for ordinary chefs to learn, otherwise they can be passed on.
Just as the two were talking, the people in the hall were startled, and the two looked up, and it turned out that the cook had come out at some point. With a smiling face, he said to everyone: "Welcome friends to the Dragon Gate Inn, my chef feels a lot of light on his face today." If you say anything superfluous, the chef won't say it, so let's have an appetizer now! As he spoke, the man clapped his hands, and several people came out behind him with one large wooden plate after another. On a wooden plate, there are some delicate side dishes. The chef pointed to these side dishes and explained, "Everyone, these are some of the side dishes that I have studied in the past few years, you can try them first, and when I make the main dishes, everyone can eat them with an open stomach." ”
"Good!" Everyone applauded happily, and there was no need to say much about the cooking skills of the human cook, even if it was just a small dish with wine, it was also commendable, so they did not have any displeasure, but looked at those exquisite side dishes with great interest.
Soon, under the busyness of several people, three small dishes were placed on each table, Lin Heng and Hong Qigong looked at these three small plates of delicate side dishes, and they all stretched out their chopsticks to add a piece and put it in their mouths.
"This is beef, how does it taste like this?" Hong Qigong looked surprised, added a piece again and put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "This beef is rotten and crispy, it's really good, it's just how did you get this spicy taste." Hanako has eaten so much that she can't even think of it. ”
"Ha Lu Ha ......" Lin Heng laughed and said, "Qigong, if I guessed correctly, this beef must have been marinated in chili peppers, otherwise it wouldn't have such a taste." ”
"Chili?"
"Well, it's chili. Chili pepper grows in Sichuan and Chongyang, and it is a very spicy food, which can be chopped and put into food to increase the flavor of dishes. Saying that, Lin Heng laughed to himself. This chili pepper is still said by Lin Heng and the chef, it seems that he has been there personally, otherwise there would be no such spicy beef.
A plate of spicy beef, a plate of fungus, and a plate of gold needles, these are the three side dishes of the human cook. These three things were all Lin Heng told him, but he only said it roughly, but the human chef spent a lot of effort to make it, and the cooking was also very delicious, at least in Lin Heng's opinion, he had never eaten such a delicious dish in modern times.
"Good stuff, really good stuff......"
"I can't imagine that the human chef is so beneficial and makes such a simple dish so delicious!"
"Yes, he is worthy of being a human cook, his cooking skills are really invincible in the world!"
All around, there were voices of praise, but it was a pity that the human cook couldn't hear it, and even if he heard it, he wouldn't care. The only thing this guy cares about is that others say that his cooking is not good. Of course, if you come up with enough reasons, it won't be anything.
About half an hour later, the cook returned, his face was red, his forehead was sweaty, as if he was very tired, but his eyes were full of energy. He said to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, my treasure has been prepared, and this is a dish that I have spent four years preparing. I'm confident that in front of this dish, nothing else is anything. Everyone, please take a look! ”
As he spoke, he moved out of the way, revealing a boat-shaped porcelain plate that was being held behind him.
"Wow...... What is it? Rainbow? ”
"It's incredible, is this a dish? It's a work of art! ”
Everyone was chattering, all of them showing shocked expressions, and Lin Heng and Hong Qigong were no exception. Look at the dish, it's on a big boat-shaped plate, and you can see it at a glance, like a rainbow hanging in the sky.
"This is my new dish, the seven-colored rainbow!"
The man chef proudly announced to everyone, and then he asked the little servants to bring bowls one by one, and asked them to serve a seven-colored rainbow to each of them.
At first, everyone didn't notice that the seven-colored rainbow that had been stepped into the sky by the chef had no fragrance, but when they dug up the rainbow above, the rich fragrance wafted out.
This fragrance is very unique, and people unconsciously relax their minds when they smell it, just like the Buddha incense in the temple.
"Good thing, really good thing......" Hong Qigong sat at the table and said that his face was full of eagerness. When the little guy came to his side in front of his bowl of seven-colored rainbows, he didn't hesitate to reach out and grab it, and then took a quick bite.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, and it has three flavors, sweet and spicy, incredible!" Saying that, Qigong took another bite, and this time he was even more shocked, because this time the question was different from just now, this time it actually had a sweet and sour taste.
Opposite him, Lin Heng listened to him mutter, and he was also very curious to eat two bites, which almost made him bite his tongue off. It's so delicious, and the flavors of the different colored dishes are different, each with three flavors, which is unbelievable.
"Chef, do you still have it, hurry up and bring me another bowl!" Hong Qigong finished eating the seven-colored rainbow in the bowl in two by three, and then shouted loudly. When the others saw it, they immediately followed suit. They really haven't eaten such delicious dishes, no wonder chefs dare to boast about it.
"Ha Lu Ha ......" The man smiled very happily, he pressed his hand, and said to everyone: "Friends, this dish has been prepared for four years before I made, and there are a few ingredients that are difficult to find, if you can find these ingredients, I don't care about making them a few more times......
"What kind of ingredients are they, tell me quickly, we will definitely find ...... for you" Everyone immediately made a fuss when they heard this, and seeing that this person had to press everyone again, he continued: "These flavors are not ordinary ingredients, but medicinal herbs. In addition to the dishes on my plate of seven-colored rainbows, I also used seven kinds of seasonings, seven kinds of medicinal herbs, seven kinds of animal meat, a total of 28 kinds of ingredients. The rest is easy to say, but these seven medicinal materials are not very easy to find......"
Then, the chef talked about seven kinds of medicinal materials, these seven kinds of medicinal materials are not very rare medicinal materials, that is, ginseng, poria cocos, snake gall bladder, deer antler, flower ear, Ganoderma lucidum, lotus root seven kinds of medicinal materials, but his requirements for these medicinal materials are more than three hundred years. Damn, it's more than three hundred years, why don't you grab it!
When everyone heard this, they all scolded in their hearts, if they had these medicinal materials, where would they use them to cook, they would have eaten them to increase their strength.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the chef felt a little lost in his heart. After he made the seven-colored rainbow, he was afraid that he would not be able to continue because he had no medicinal materials, so he came up with this method for everyone to taste, but now it seems that everyone will not be willing.
Shaking his head, the man walked back a little tired. When everyone saw this, they immediately dispersed in groups, leaving only a few dozen or so people, these people, except for the three of them, were all friends of the human cook, and the extra three people were naturally Lin Heng, Li Mochou, and Hong Qigong.
