Chapter 52: Talent

The wine and food came up, it was extremely rich, twelve dishes and three soups, and the portion was very sufficient, according to Xiao Qian's appetite, seven or eight people might not finish eating.

Xiao Qianxin said: Zhou Datong is not kind, if he catches a person for a treat, he will die, Guili, and want to knock Zhen Ri'an hard, who knows that Zhen Ri'an is Lin Yanyan, Zhou Datong has to pay the bill himself if he doesn't eat it, and this bamboo bar will be knocked to his grandmother's house.

"So much, I can't finish eating, it's too wasteful, Your Highness, or ...... Tell your brothers in the yamen to eat? "Lin Yanyan has money and is willing to spend, but he doesn't like to waste.

Xiao Qian said: "I can't finish eating, I'll give alms to the beggars at the door later." ”

Guan Sheng's gang are all rough men, as soon as they sit down to drink, they are full of meat words and pick their feet, so it's strange if they don't scare her away.

Lin Yanyan nodded, that's fine.

Lin Yanyan began to savor the dishes here.

"How much does this free living in a restaurant in the capital count?"

"In terms of business, it can be called first-class, the taste is good, the price is fair, but it is not as good as Tianxianglou, Hongfuxuan's dishes are exquisite, of course, the price of these two is much more expensive than here."

Lin Yanyan understands that Tianxianglou and Hongfuxuan take a high-end business mode, while Changyiju adopts a people-friendly business mode, with different positioning and each has its own strengths.

Xiao Qian saw that she had to taste it for a long time to take a bite, and she chewed it slowly, and couldn't help but worry that this meal might take more than half a day.

"You eat more." Xiao Qian was embarrassed to say bluntly that you ate too slowly, a vague hint.

"You eat, I mainly want to taste how their dishes are made."

Xiao Qian smiled: "How can you taste it?" ”

Lin Yanyan said seriously: "Naturally, for example, this honey fire recipe is very particular about the materials, using the middle part of the south leg, which is also the part with the best proportion of meat quality, and is cut into small squares with a knife, and the depth is half of the fat." Put the skin side down in a bowl, add water, the water needs to cover the south leg, steam it for about an hour and a half, take it out, and decant the soup...... Add rock sugar and a little light soup, and steam for about half an hour. The white sugar lotus seeds are steamed for two quarters of an hour, but unfortunately this lotus seed is not made of Xuanlian, and it is not as large and round as Xuanlian, full and thick, and the taste is also worse......"

"After the lotus seeds are steamed, take out the decanting and remove the marinade and put it on the same plate as the fire recipe. When the pine nuts are fried until golden brown, remove them and set aside...... Then put the pot on the fire, pour in the marinade, add honey to boil, thicken with water starch, add sugar osmanthus and stir, pour it on the fire, and then sprinkle pine nuts. ”

Xiao Qian was dumbfounded: "You tasted all of these?" "Or do you already know how to do it?

"Well, depending on how soft the meat is and how flavorful it is, you can roughly deduce the process and time it takes to cook the food." Just kidding, her sense of taste is not just used to taste the sweet and sour, the inference of the dish is much simpler than the inference of medicine, no matter what decoction, she only needs to take a sip to know which herbs are in it, what kind of water to boil, what the heat is, which requires talent and accumulated experience.

Xiao Qian still felt incredible, and pointed to a soup: "Then you talk about this." ”

and thoughtfully served a bowl for her.

Lin Yanyan tasted it: "Clear soup conpoy and jade shoot slices." The conpoy is soaked in Huadiao wine for at least six hours, the bamboo shoots are fresh bamboo shoots in the mountains, cut into thin bamboo shoots like cicada wings, this is a test of knife work, hang the clear soup on the pot and steam for an hour, so that the umami of the two ingredients is fully released, and then start the pot, the steamed conpoy and jade shoots are poured into the pot together with the clear soup, put a little Huadiao wine, seasoning, simmer for a quarter of an hour, and then put in the fresh vegetables, and the fresh vegetables can be cooked out of the pot, this soup highlights the word fresh, if the full score is ten, I will give eight points. ”

Xiao Qian's face was embarrassed, compared to her, he could only eat to satisfy his hunger. How can there be such a big gap between people and people?

"The two dishes you just mentioned are chef Changyiju's specialty dishes, and they are easy not to be passed on, but you are good, and you will learn all the skills of others after eating two bites." Xiao Qian smiled bitterly.

"I'm just talking on paper now, it's one thing to know, it's another thing to actually do it, but I've tried it once, and I'm sure I can do it better than here." Lin Yanyan did not have the consciousness to be ashamed, for her, it is indeed that simple, not everyone has talent.

Xiao Qian: ...... If you can really try it once and do it better than others, then the chefs must not be angry? People are cooking skills that have been honed for more than ten years.

"Then next time you invite me to eat pig heart and lungs, by the way, make these two dishes, I will taste it to see if it is better than Changyiju." Check to see if she's talking big.

But it seems that last time she was also the first to make medicinal food, and she did quite well.

"No problem." Lin Yanyan agreed, there are too few dishes she can cook at present, and she urgently needs to learn a few more dishes, and it seems that she will have to go to Tianxianglou and Hongfuxuan another day.

"Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao......" Guan Sheng's loud voice came from outside.

Xiao Qian's brows frowned, how did Guan Sheng find this?

"You eat slowly, I'll go out and have a look."

Xiao Qian got up and went out: "Guan Sheng." ”

"Lord Xiao, it's not good, someone went to Shuntianfu to complain." Guan Shengran's head was sweaty, and he panted.

Xiao Qian was speechless: "Isn't Shuntian Mansion Lord Ji?" Wouldn't it be okay for someone to sue and let Master Ji open a court trial? Also, how do you know I'm here? ”

"My lord, when you entered Changyiju, one of your brothers happened to pass by and saw you, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find you. After you left in the morning, the government received a murder case, Lord Ji personally took people to the suburbs of the city to investigate, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while, and the current situation is that some people have complained that Yu Qingtang's doctor has killed his family, and the body has been carried to the yamen. ”

Xiao Qian: "Yu Qingtang? But the pharmacy opened by the royal envoy of the Tai Hospital? ”

"Exactly, and the defendant is Wang Ke'er, the daughter of the royal court's envoy, and the people of the Wang family have also arrived, and the most important thing is that Wang Ke'er has not yet obtained the qualification to practice medicine."

"The Medicine Guild will have to come forward in this matter!"

"The lowly has sent someone to invite the guild president, but there is no one in the yamen to preside over the overall situation!"

Xiao Qian: "Wait a minute, I'll tell my friend." ”

Really, it's rare to have a meal alone with Lin Yanyan, and before he got into the main topic, the matter came.

"Lord Xiao, can I go with you? I also know a little bit about medicine, so I'm going to see what's going on. Lin Yanyan walked out.

She heard it all, the case involved the royal envoy and Wang Keer, this is a good opportunity.

Xiao Qian understood: "Then let's go together!" ”

Guan Sheng didn't recognize Lin Yanyan, he just looked a little familiar, and thought it was really a friend of Lord Xiao, how could he have thought that it would be the eldest lady of the Lin family?

The three of them went to Suncheon Mansion together.
