Chapter 222: Delicacies
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head, no longer thinking about these meaningless things, and instead returned his attention to the banquet itself.
This gathering is mainly to let the first members of the Star Alliance get to know each other better, and by the way, they can familiarize themselves with the branch station located in Longmian Mountain.
As for the words like celebrating the establishment of the Star Alliance structure, it was all incidental, after all, the organization he conceived was not a company in the traditional sense, and if all the people gathered at every turn, then it should be more cheap? It's not a den of cheaters.
Therefore, gatherings like this will not be frequent in the future. Even if there were, it would be set up on the island of rebirth after the base was built, and it would probably be a long time later.
Zhang Xiaoman's side was Lin Sisi and Ye Cang, and his mother asked to do it at another table, she deliberately wanted to keep her identity secret, and Zhang Xiaoman had no other opinions.
Next, it's time to start the meal, according to the food tradition of Huaxia, it is naturally indispensable to toast, but Zhang Xiaoman doesn't like such politeness, so he simply let everyone not come over to toast, and eat well.
I have to say that the food prepared by Longmian Mountain is really delicious, and with the name of the chef's dishes, a series of delicacies that he has never heard of are served to the table one after another.
"This dish is called 'Yuelongmen', which is made of the big lotus root in the blue water lotus pond of Guanlongtai, cut off both ends, put the middle part into the special mandarin duck pot, half of the broth is added to the ice, half of the clear soup is boiled for fire, and finally it is cooked together with a small fish of great value in the lotus pond, which has a unique taste and also has the effect of warming yang and replenishing qi."
At the table, a young man with a missing arm was introducing this dish to everyone, and he was naturally Ye Fei.
Zhang Xiaoman saw him talking about these things so fluently, and he also knew that this was probably carefully prepared, coupled with his somewhat apprehensive gaze from time to time, he could somewhat understand his intentions in his heart.
However, he didn't take the previous matter to heart, firstly, for the sake of Ye Cang's face, he didn't care about him, and secondly, with his current temperament, that kind of trivial matter was really not worth his attention.
But it also happened that this Ye Fei turned out to be a person who likes adventure, and he is also a loyal fan of Bei Ye, and today after seeing the idol, he was so excited not to want it, and there was a common topic between the group of people in the light blue department.
"This dish, called 'Qiqiao steamed lotus root', is also picked to the blue water lotus pond, taken from the seven holes of the big lotus root, according to legend, in ancient times it was a dish for sacrificing to the sky, which was filled with the meat foam of the characteristics of three livestock and four animals, supplemented by white fungus, honey, sand cucumber, rock sugar, autumn pear and other ingredients with considerable nutritional value to cook together, not only the entrance is delicious, but also has a good health function."
Ye Fei pointed to a dish on the table and introduced it to everyone, looking at the appearance of the leader, Zhang Xiaoman felt that this was still a talent in food.
"A dish is 'Twenty-four Bridges Bright Moon Night', which is to cut the pork loin into thin strips, and then after 7749 days of pickling, and then add it to the small balls made of tofu, 24 grains at a time, surrounded by quail eggs, yams, sweet potatoes, melons, put in the broth together, simmer it slowly over low heat, and finally collect the juice, which is an absolutely rare delicacy."
Ye Fei's introduction continued, and the names of one dish after another came out of his mouth, followed by the introduction he carefully prepared for each dish.
"It's called 'Wind of the Wilderness', it's made from beef hind leg meat, and it has a three-layered texture, crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle, and juicy on the inside, and it's a delicious dish from the grassland."
"This dish is 'Green Willow Fufeng', and the main ingredient is also beef, which needs to be cut into extremely thin shredded meat, and the aftertaste will be endless after making it into a finished product......
"This is the 'Five Immortal Rabbits'......"
"This is the 'turtle and snake plate'......"
"This is the ...... of 'Golden Cry'"
"This is the ...... of 'Ice Heart Cicada Wings'"
One after another delicacies were served on the table, and the people who watched it were dizzying, and now Zhang Xiaoman understood why Xiao Shun was so exaggerated at the beginning, it seems that he is indeed not wrong, the kitchen here in Longmian Mountain is really a hand.
Zhang Xiaoman even had the slightest idea of poaching that chef, it would be good to let him teach two apprentices to cook for the headquarters of the Star Alliance, if he could eat this level of food every day, what a wonderful thing it would be.
But it's okay to dig people directly, after all, he is a chef taught by the Ye family, he eats a meal and thinks it is delicious, and then he directly poaches the chef in charge of others, which is still very inappropriate.
But when it comes to chefs, Zhang Xiaoman can't help but think of the newly recruited people in the Star Alliance base, although they don't have a problem living there, but they are always a little troublesome in eating, and they can't let their families grow vegetables and eat fish every day, it seems that it is necessary to arrange a chef for them.
Rubbing his temples, Zhang Xiaoman felt that he had another headache, it was probably not enough to find a chef, and he had to arrange a shuttle bus to pick him up to buy vegetables outside every day.
Fortunately, at the current speed of the Aurora, it will only take more than twenty minutes to make a round trip, and if you really follow this method, it is not unfeasible.
Seeing his expression, Ye Cang on the side couldn't help but ask, "Star Lord, what troubles did you have?" ”
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, shook his head and said, "It's not bothering, but I suddenly remembered that there are still some relevant personnel lacking in our main base......"
He didn't want to say more, naturally he was afraid that Ye Cang would be embarrassed.
Who knew that this old man suddenly figured out what Zhang Xiaoman was worried about, and immediately asked, "Has the star lord ever been a troublesome chef?" ”
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at him in a slightly surprised way, his heart was really old, but since the other party had seen it, he no longer covered it up, and even nodded in affirmation.
Ye Cang laughed and said, "Don't worry about the star lord, I have three chefs in Longmian Mountain, all of whom grew up here, if the star lord doesn't dislike it, you can choose one person to take it to Rebirth Island." ”
Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand: "This is someone from your Ye family, how can I just poach it like this, it's okay, I'll just go back and recruit one." ”
"The star lord is too worried, not to mention that Longmian Mountain is now the headquarters of the Star Alliance, and the three of them alone are also very eager to enter the island. Joining the Star Alliance is a blessing for them, and who can turn down that opportunity? ”
While they were talking, a chef who was serving food happened to hear it, and when his hand shook, his eyes looked at Zhang Xiaoman's side expectantly.
Zhang Xiaoman naturally noticed his reaction, and at the same time understood what the other party meant, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head, it seems that he came back to have a meal this time, and in the end, he really wanted to turn back a cook.
"That's fine, but let's ask them first, if you're willing to go, that's the best, if you don't want to, don't force it, I'll just recruit people." As for the specific candidates, it is still up to Ye Lao to decide personally. ”
