Chapter 9 Cooking

After learning that the other party was "his own person", Lu and Wei Shiwen, the boss of Hongzhou Banquet House Taishan, politely got together, and threw out one question after another, like doing a census, wanting to ask whether Wei Shiwen is married, how many people are in the family, where they work, how much they have in savings, whether they have a car and a house, etc., giving Wei Shiwen a feeling of being surrounded by three aunts and four uncles when he is at home during the New Year.

After the greetings were over, the little man with a lame leg seemed to have just discovered the existence of the King of Conquest and Weber, and asked, "......Who are these two people?" ”

"Oh, let me introduce you." Wei Shiwen said: "This little man's name is Weber, and he was my classmate when he was studying in the UK, and his home is in Dongmu City. Taking advantage of the holiday, I followed him to Fuyuki City to appreciate how good the place where he spoke was brilliant; As for the big guy, huh...... You just think he's a characteristic actor who is too deep in the play! This guy has played too many emperors in movies and television recently, and he can't get out of the feeling that he can't get out, there is no distinction between people and plays, some are stupid, and some are ...... What do you say about that word? ”

Lu glanced at the King of Conquest with a smile on his face, and then whispered to Wei Shiwen: "Is that word you want to say crazy?" ”

Wei Shiwen nodded, also lowered his voice, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, going mad is going mad - this guy regards himself as an emperor who has traveled from ancient times to modern times, although he has mastered the basic common sense necessary to survive in this era in a short period of time, but he still regards conquering the whole world as his life's wish." ”

"What an admirable artist!" Lu said cautiously: "By the way, what is the name of that drama, for such a dedicated actor, I have to support it no matter what." ”

Wei Shiwen thought for a while and said: "The movie is a Sino-foreign joint venture, so there are two official versions of the name, but I can't remember the name of the English version, and I remember the Chinese name very clearly, called "Palace Lock Heart Jade". Also, brother, we have always communicated in Chinese, these two people can't understand, don't be so quiet. ”

"Palace Lock Heart Jade"?" Lu's eyes swirled in his sockets, obviously not believing in Wei Shiwen's random name: "This name doesn't sound like a character with this type of actor!" It's like a long-form TV series about the love of a woman and a few men, and it also involves the struggle for the throne, palace fights or something. ”

My God, brother, are you also here in time, just listening to a name, you can calculate the original plot to eight nine and ten, it's really humiliating not to be a screenwriter at your level. Although he kept complaining in his heart, Wei Shiwen didn't show it at all on his face, but looked like 'it really is': "It's not you who commented on the Chinese translation of this drama like this." Brother, if you know, you will know that the domestic translation industry pays attention to 'letter, da, and elegance' when translating, and "Lolita" can be translated into "Always Pear Blossom Presses Begonia", and it doesn't matter what the original name literally translates to.

Besides, before the release of the film, the producer has strict confidentiality measures, except for a name, we outsiders don't know, what the film is about, that can only be known after the movie is released. Moreover, I heard that the translator of this film is a woman, although the Chinese is slippery, but the meaning of the language and text she probably may not understand, it is estimated that the original title is called "Palace, Chains, Heart, Gems" is possible. ”

Lu suddenly realized and said, "I see. ”

Wei Shiwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his own reasoned and well-founded explanation finally rounded the words, although it was full of loopholes, but if you don't think about it carefully and don't dig deeper, you can't find it.

"Hey! Little brother, I'm hungry. The Conquest King and Webber casually found a table and sat down, bored as Wei Shiwen and Lu chatted in their hometown dialect - anyway, there were no other guests in this restaurant except them, so Lu and Wei Shiwen talked at length freely, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country is one of the four joys of life, and he almost burst into tears when he met someone who could communicate with him in his native language after not hearing the native voice for a long time. But Webber and the King of Conquest were really hungry and wanted to come for a meal, so Wei Shiwen and Lu chatted energetically, and their stomachs were unwilling.

Lu then remembered that his "little brother" came with guests, and immediately showed the generous habits of Chinese people when someone came to the house as a guest, and wanted to return to the kitchen to prepare a table of meals to entertain Wei Shiwen and the conqueror and Weber he brought, but Wei Shiwen, who knew his cooking style, couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly stopped him, saying: "This time it's my younger brother and I came to disturb, how can you let you cook yourself, it just so happens that I have some research on cooking, let me come." ”

"You are a guest, I am the host, how can there be a reason for the guests to cook when they come to the host's house." Lu politely prevaricated.

But Wei Shiwen had already walked into the kitchen one step ahead of him, leaving a sentence: "You are a senior, how can we who are juniors let our seniors work; Besides, this visit was more accidental, and I didn't prepare any door-to-door gifts, so I didn't want to go, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. ”

The first second he entered the kitchen of the Red Island Banquet Pavilion, Wei Shiwen took out a gas mask from the space and put it on his head, isolating the air that was no different from the wolf spray, and then said to himself with palpitations: "Fortunately, I snatched the cooking matter, if you really let Lu sit on a table of the special meal of the Red Island Banquet Pavilion, it is estimated that it will be very difficult for someone to go to the toilet tomorrow." ”

If you want to ask what is the biggest feature of the dishes of Hongzhou Yansui Restaurant, that is, there are no desserts, and all the ingredients are coated with a layer of chili peppers when stir-fried in the pot, as if the real protagonist of the dish is the chili pepper as a seasoning. In addition to the decoration, the super spicy taste is also a big reason why this restaurant does not have a high turnover.

Spicy is classified as one of the five flavors, which is actually incorrect, because the mixed sensation of heat and pain can also be felt with the skin, and even as long as there is a nerve that can feel it, it can feel spicy - except because of the deviation of the feeling, which leads to Yan Feng Qili's extraordinary love for the Chinese cuisine mapo tofu, so it has won the title of "mapo priest".

In the words of Emiya Shirou describing the special mapo tofu made by the Hongzhou Banquet House, "It's like pricking the tongue with a toothpick a thousand times and then sprinkling the salt on it, so spicy" It is estimated that few people can accept this level of spiciness, except for the Yanfeng Qili, who is happy with evil.

And the reason why Wei Shiwen brought the unwitting Webber and the King of Conquest to this store was precisely to meet Yan Fengqili, a regular customer, and the same is true for opening his own restaurant opposite - it seems that he made a mistake today.

After Wei Shiwen carefully washed his hands under the water pipe, he gently wiped his fingers in the scramble on the stove, lifted his gas mask and stretched out his tongue to lick the finger gently, and then said: "As I expected, because of the large number of chili peppers used as ingredients all year round, the spicy taste has reached into all the kitchen utensils, and the dishes fried with these things are still full of spicy flavor even if they don't put chili peppers, fortunately I have preparation." ”

Without letting the people outside wait long, Wei Shiwen walked out on a tray with three oversized dishes on large plates, and took off the gas mask by the way and threw it back into the space.

"This is - mapo tofu? And still do it! Rao is a character who revolves around the stove all day long, and when Wei Shiwen put the three dishes on the table, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and praised: "The color and flavor are amazing, just looking at the color and shape and smelling the smell make people can't help but drool." With a little research, it is clear that you are proficient in this way - little brother, it is not good to be too modest, others will treat your words and deeds as pretending to be 13. ”

Wei Shiwen took off the apron on his body and said, "I'll be embarrassed if you praise me like this, eat the vegetables first." ”

As soon as the king of conquest picked up the spoon and started with Wei Shiwen's dish, Lu's chopsticks had already been drawn on the back of his hand, and his hand was pulled back, and then the place where it was drawn quickly swollen The chopsticks were traces - the dignified Alexander the Great was actually whipped by an ordinary person and the back of his hand was red and swollen, tsk!

Ignoring the aggrieved eyes of the conquering king, Lu looked at Wei Shiwen with blazing eyes and said, "Brother, introduce your dishes, they are different from the dishes in my impression." ”

Wei Shiwen smiled: "Okay, first of all, that dish that looks no different from ordinary mapo tofu, I named it magic mapo tofu, and because it has six flavors: spicy, fragrant, color, hot, crispy, and numb, it can be called six-in-one magic mapo tofu." ”

"In addition to the five flavors of spicy, fragrant, color, hot, and numb, is there one more flavor of crispy? I'm going to have to taste it and see where the 'crisp' is. As he spoke, Lu pulled back Weber's hand that wanted to destroy the shape of the dish, and it hurt so much that Webb covered the back of his hand and burst into tears: "The next one." ”

Wei Shiwen glanced at Weber sympathetically and said: "The dish made of black and white tofu to form a panda is called the Great Magic Panda Mapo Tofu, because everyone has a different tolerance for spicy, in order to relieve the spicy sensation of Mapo Tofu, I made black tofu with black beans and brown sugar, and used sweetness to offset the stinging sensation brought by chili peppers to the mouth."

As for this dish that looks like chow mein, it's actually made with tofu, the tofu filling, the tofu noodles made from broken tofu mixed with flour, and the meat scraps made from fried okara - I named it the Tofu Trio! ”

The smell even wafted through the doors and windows to the street, attracting a few young people who had not been destroyed to test the poison, and Lu who had just tasted two bites of each dish had to regretfully return to the back kitchen to cook the mapo tofu that those people ordered.

The king of conquest wiped the spicy sweat on his forehead with a tissue, it seemed that he had eaten very refreshingly, and after taking a sip of the drink to relieve the spicy stimulation, the king of conquest said to Wei Shiwen: "Little brother, although the food you cook is delicious, why do you have to go to the kitchen by yourself when you get to the restaurant." ”

Wei Shiwen sneered, squinted at the few people at the next table who were hungry for the dishes on their table, and said: "I saved your lives, and when the dishes of those people come up, you will know what is going on, wait to see the show!" ”
