Chapter 133: The Taste of the First Bite of Cake

Seeing that several people were walking in the direction of home, thinking about the agreement made with Boss Wang in the afternoon, as well as tomorrow's new dishes, Ye Feng said, "Wait a minute, let's not rush home first......

As a result, before Ye Feng finished speaking, Ye Shi said helplessly: "Hey, you haven't played enough!" It's getting dark, and I'm still thinking about playing. I'm so hungry, let's go home. ”

In this regard, Ye Feng said: "Sister, you are finished listening!" We made an appointment with Boss Wang of Liuyunxuan, and we will bring some longevity fruits to cook tomorrow. Are you hungry? Then you go back first, let's go to the field to dig some longevity fruits, put them in the ox cart and transport them home. ”

Ye's stomach was big, so he was naturally hungry.

Hearing this, Chen Jixing said: "Then let's do it, your sister and I will go back first, and you guys will dig it." Anyway, it's getting dark now, and not many people are passing by. However, you should remember to make a mark on how much you have dug up. ”

But Ye said: "Forget it, anyway, there are pastries and roast chicken here, come, give me some, I'll eat to cushion my stomach first." Let's go, I'll be with you, dig fast when there are many people, and go back after a few clicks. By the way, how did you negotiate today? ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng said: "With me coming out in person, it is naturally negotiated." However, the contract has not been signed yet, and Boss Wang has to taste the new dishes made by the longevity fruit before deciding whether to sign a contract with us. ”

"Boss Wang, which Boss Wang?" Ye asked casually.

Without waiting for Ye Feng to answer, Qianyan said: "Mother, Boss Wang is the Boss Wang of Liuyunxuan." Today's pastries and roast chicken are what he invited us to eat, no silver, and they are very delicious. Uncle said, "We'll go eat tomorrow." ”

"How much is that a pound?" Chen Jixing asked.

In his opinion, these peanuts this year are not easy to come by, and they cannot be sold cheaply. However, when I thought of Ye Feng's ruthlessness in selling bonsai and dendrobium, I felt that my worries were a little redundant.

No matter how much he priced, Ye Feng always had the ability to sell it several times more.

I didn't know that I heard Ye Feng say: "The price, it's not decided yet, everything will have to wait for Boss Wang to try a new dish tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, before everyone had time to speak, they heard Ye Feng say, "But I'm going to sell it for ten taels of silver a catty." Hey, don't be too expensive, there is only so much for this year, and half of it will be used as seeds. When the village grows more next year, it won't be able to sell it so expensive. ”

At this time, except for Chen Qianshan, several people stopped talking, and they were simply dumbfounded. This longevity fruit is good, but isn't it too expensive to sell it for ten taels of silver a catty?

If Chen Jixing and Ye were allowed to set the price, they would dare to set a pound of silver for one or two taels at most. Ye Feng is good, it has risen so many times at once.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, and they were dumbfounded, and Qianyan was only thinking about the bags of pastries and roast chicken, Ye Feng said: "Don't be in a daze, let's go to the field and dig up the longevity fruit, otherwise it will be impossible to see when it gets dark." ”

When they arrived at the ground, without Ye Feng's instructions, Ye Shi said to Chen Qianshan: "When you pull one by one, don't pull one by one in the east and one in the west." When you're done, tell me how many I pulled out, and I'll have to write it down. ”

As he spoke, he crossed his waist again and adjusted his posture. Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is already a little overwhelmed, and she often feels a sore back.

"It used to be fine, the whole field was full, and if someone pulled it out, you could see it. Now it doesn't work, if someone pulls a few next to us and doesn't count them, do you say that God doesn't know it? ”

I have to say that Ye's words are very reasonable, the family has been guarding this peanut for more than half a year, and seeing that the harvest has been harvested, it can't be destroyed. But you don't have to stay too long, if nothing happens, you can sign a contract with Boss Wang tomorrow.

As soon as the contract is signed, it will all be taken back tomorrow.

Qianyan and Chen Jixing have both done it, so they are familiar with it. However, Chen Qianshan and Ye Ermei not only saw peanuts for the first time, but also plucked peanuts for the first time, both of them were light-handed, as if they were afraid of breaking them.

Seeing this, Chen Jixing said: "You don't have to be so careful, this longevity fruit grows in the mud, and the top is just a seedling, so it won't get in the way." You see, it's just ......," he said, and demonstrated.

I saw that Chen Jixing made a slight effort, and the peanut easily broke through the soil, like pulling a radish. And underneath the peanut seedlings were dozens of fruits that they had never seen before.

Dare to love this is the fruit of eternal life? It doesn't look good.

After a while, Chen Qianshan and Ye Ermei successfully mastered the essentials of the movements, and they were able to pull them out. They were responsible for pulling it out, and Ye Feng was responsible for counting the cattle carts. When he counted to thirty, Ye Feng said, "Okay, it's almost, it's enough." ”

When Ye Shi heard that it was thirty, he thought about the two that he pulled out yesterday, that is, thirty-two, and then looked at the gap carefully, and then followed a few people home.

Seeing that Ye Ermei and Chen Qianshan were very curious, Chen Jixing volunteered to go into the stove room to cook. Anyway, there is roast chicken, and only he and Ye Shi have not eaten, just make some noodles, and the roast chicken is also a big meal.

Speaking of which, he and the Ye family have never eaten the dishes cooked by a big restaurant like Liuyunxuan.

Ye Shi took Ye Feng and a few people to close the door in the yard, which made everyone start to pull the peanuts off the seedlings one by one, and Ye Feng asked everyone to pick the needles again, and then threw them into the dustpan.

Thirty peanuts, there is actually a small dustpan full, Ye Feng feels that this is enough for tomorrow's cooking. Too much is a waste, anyway, it will be eaten by Boss Wang and Zhao Da.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng reacted, today's roast chicken and pastries can't be regarded as a free gift, after all, so many catties of peanuts are definitely worth more than that.

Then, hearing Ye Feng say that the peanuts still needed to be washed, Chen Qianshan volunteered to bring water and wash it over and over again. When all the sediment was gone, Ye Feng used a big bamboo fence to drain the water, and then said to Chen Qianshan and Ye Ermei: "You can also taste it." ”

After saying that, he went into the house to make tea.

Ye Feng and Qianyan had eaten enough tonight, so they were not interested. Ye smelled the roast chicken and tasted good, so he entered the stove room early and tore off a chicken leg and began to gnaw.

Only Ye Ermei and Chen Qianshan were left looking at each other in the courtyard, and they really didn't know how to eat this thing.

Picking up a peanut, Ye Ermei said: "I think this outer layer may be a shell or something, don't you see those melons and fruits like this?" With that, he squeezed it vigorously, and the shell deflated.

Seeing that she had guessed correctly, Ye Ermei started to peel it off, only to see four red bean-like things lying quietly inside.

So he said: "Ah, look, it's so beautiful, but this is really edible?" ”

Chen Qianshan also learned to peel off the flowers, took out two and threw them into his mouth and said, "Since Ye Feng's kid said that he could eat it, he would definitely be able to eat it." Well, it tastes really good, it's delicious, you taste it. ”

Ye Ermei also hurriedly threw all four peanuts into her mouth and chewed, her expression was exactly the same as Chen Qianshan's, they were all surprises.

Then, the two of them ate a few more in a row before stopping. These are all for tomorrow's cooking, but I can't continue to eat, it's really a little unfinished.

The two of them were reluctant to face the peanuts in the yard, and in the stove room, Chen Jixing and Ye were also satisfied. When Qianyan came out of the house, one and a half roast chickens were gnawed by two people, and only the chicken rack remained.

Looking at the pile of bones, he said with a thousand words: "Dad, mother, why have you all eaten it?" ”

She still wants to have a little tomorrow for breakfast. Thinking of this, he was glad that he had just put the pastries on the table in the hall, otherwise, it was estimated that he would have eaten them by the Ye family.

Hearing this, Ye Shi said with some embarrassment: "If you want to say that the chef of this big restaurant makes a different meal." You say it's the same chicken, why does it taste like this? Well, it's delicious, I'll buy another one tomorrow and come back. ”

After Chen Jixing and Ye finished dinner, several people discussed tomorrow's affairs. It was still Ye and Chen Jixing who stayed at home, guarding peanuts and looking at the new house. Chen Qianshan drove to take Ye Ermei and Qianyan to Liuyunxuan to try the dishes.

After talking for a while, Ye Ermei and Chen Qianshan went home.

On the second day, the first thing Qianyan did after getting up was to go to see her pastries, and when she saw that they were not eaten by Ye, who has a frightening appetite now, she was satisfied, and she didn't want to eat well, so she just drank some noodle soup and kept eating the pastries.

When Ye Ermei came to the door to call the door, Ye Shi gave a few more instructions, and Ye Feng went out with a basket of peanuts. It's good to have your own ox cart, and you don't have to hide it.

If they were riding someone else's ox cart today, they would not dare to carry peanuts blatantly, so they must have taken a basket and put the peanuts underneath and covered them with clothes.

When he arrived at Liuyunxuan and jumped out of the car, Ye Feng actually saw that Boss Wang was already waiting at the door in person. When Ye Feng lifted the basket down, Xiao Er, who had been prepared a long time ago, pulled the ox cart and went down to settle it.

Seeing a few people, Boss Wang said: "You guys are here, but I've been waiting here early in the morning." I haven't even eaten breakfast yet. ”

Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Ye Feng still said: "I'm very sorry, Boss Wang, the road in the countryside is not so easy to walk." You don't know, it was very bumpy to go fast, so we walked a little slowly, which made Boss Wang wait for a long time. In this case, my second sister and I will go to your back kitchen, and please greet my brother and my nephew. ”

Zhao Da hurriedly said: "This is natural, little brother, you can rest assured." After speaking, he led Qianyan and Chen Qianshan to the eighth floor, and Ye Feng and Ye Ermei followed Boss Wang to the back kitchen.

It's also a pity that the Ye family didn't come today, otherwise it would be impossible for her to climb such a high building.

As soon as he entered the back kitchen, Ye Feng was stunned by the posture in the back kitchen. Without him, more than a dozen chefs from Liuyun Xuan were all standing there neatly, waiting for the dispatch.

After walking around, Ye Ermei's eyes lit up. Not only are there a variety of ingredients, a good cutting board, a bright kitchen knife, and a variety of spices, many of which she has never seen before.

It's so happy to cook here, Ye Ermei thought in her heart.

She didn't know that these chefs were already tired of cooking, but they were just eating together to support their families, and they didn't have the feeling that Ye Ermei naturally liked to cook. Even if there were, there is no more.

When preference becomes a technique, it's just a matter of repetition day after day.

Pointing to the basket, Ye Feng said, "Boss Wang, this is what I call the immortal fruit, how about you taste it first?" This longevity fruit is very easy to eat, just peel it off. It's raw, just dug out of the ground last night, and when it's dried, it tastes different. ”

Hearing this, Boss Wang was not polite, grabbed a peanut and quickly peeled it off, put it in his mouth and chewed. As Ye Feng said, this longevity fruit tastes very good, and there is a faint milky fragrance, which is simply amazing.

After eating a few in a row, Boss Wang said: "Okay, it's really delicious, let's sign a contract!" ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng said in surprise: "Boss Wang, don't you try new dishes?" ”

Boss Wang said: "This immortal fruit is born with such a taste, and when it is cooked, won't it be a hundred times more delicious!" I am confident that this immortal fruit will definitely be on fire. Doesn't I want to delay my little brother's time? ”

Ye Feng knew in his heart that this old fox had tasted it, and he was afraid that Ye Feng would regret it in the next moment, so he wanted to sign the contract while the iron was hot.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said: "Boss Wang, don't worry, since I have promised that this immortal fruit will only be sold to Liuyunxuan, I will naturally not break my word." Let's wait until I tell these chefs about the new dishes, and then we'll go out and sign a contract. ”

In this regard, Boss Wang is naturally willing. To be honest, he was also very much looking forward to the taste of these longevity fruits after they were made into dishes. As long as it can be kept as good as when it was eaten raw, then there is no worry about not being able to sell it at all.

"Okay, these chefs are ready, you can just ask for it."

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said to the chefs who were standing in a row: "Which one is good at stir-frying?" Who is good at making braised vegetables? Who is good at making noodles? ”

As soon as the words fell, three chefs stood up one after another.

Seeing this, Ye Feng was not polite, first grabbed a large handful of peanuts and said to the master who was good at making noodles: "Trouble the master to peel these longevity fruits, chop them into one by one, and then fry them with oil, add water, and make a pot of noodles." Except for the fried longevity fruit, you can just do the rest according to your usual practice, and you don't have to change anything. ”

Boss Wang was about to ask if the new dishes Ye Feng said included longevity fruit noodles, when he heard Ye Feng say: "Your host hasn't eaten breakfast yet, so you can make a few bowls of noodles and give him a taste." ”

Hearing this, Boss Wang was relieved, and at the same time full of expectations. It seems that this immortal fruit, as Ye Feng said, is actually versatile, and it can even be used to make noodles.

Then, Ye Feng estimated and grabbed some peanuts again, and said to the chef who was good at stir-frying: "This dish is called Kung Pao Chicken, I don't know how to make it, but I know the ingredients." In fact, these ingredients are very simple, and you will definitely be. ”

Seeing that the chef was a little nervous, Ye Feng said so.

It's just that he doesn't know how to cook at all, so he really can't help.

"You first prepare some chicken thighs, chili peppers and green bamboo shoots, all cut them into cubes, and then pour in the longevity fruit after it is crispy, and follow the daily practice." Ye Feng felt that his language in cooking was very poor, he really didn't know what to say, and he was afraid of misleading the other party, so he had to say this.

Who knows, the other party still asked: "What to do to make the longevity fruit crispy?" ”

It's just simple fried peanuts, Ye Feng thought to himself. It's just that the peanuts are fresh, and it is estimated that they will be the scene of a disaster when fried, and the oil will definitely splash around, and the taste may not be good.

What to do?

Another dish is fried peanuts with celery and tofu, which also uses fried peanuts.

Thinking of the fourth dish, Ye Feng suddenly brightened up, and said with a smile: "This longevity fruit is fresh, but it is not suitable for crispy. It will be convenient when it is dried. Let's be expedient this time, let's be lazy. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Feng said to the master who was good at making marinated vegetables: "You are responsible for all these longevity fruits, pour them into your commonly used marinade, and they will be ready to cook in about half an hour." The salt should be grasped well, not too salty. Of course, it can't be without taste. By the way, if you're not sure if it's cooked or not, call me. ”

The master was very surprised, because Ye Feng said this as if he didn't say anything. If the other party was a junior apprentice, he would have scolded him a long time ago, but now the other party's identity is expensive, and even the boss is waiting for him, so he stammered and asked, "Then how to get these longevity fruits?" Is it all stripped or ......"

Ye Feng said: "This is very simple, I have washed these longevity fruits once at home, but for the sake of safety, you can wash it again, dry the water after washing, and then pour it directly into it." ”

"You don't have to peel it off, just pour it in with the shell?"

Such a simple and crude way of cooking simply stunned this experienced chef. He didn't expect that he had been making braised vegetables for half his life, and he had mastered the exquisite recipe, and now he was good enough to make such a dish.

Seeing that he was suspicious, Ye Feng said: "That's it, you just do it, don't worry, there will be no problem." ”

As he spoke, he said to the master in charge of stir-frying: "In addition to Kung Pao chicken, you can prepare some parsley, some dried tofu, and the ingredients you can do by yourself, and you can fry them as usual." It's just that when those longevity fruits are marinated, you peel out a bowl, half a bowl for kung pao chicken, and half a bowl for the second dish. ”

Now the chef understood.

To put it bluntly, those ripe long-lived fruits are just an addition, just put them in. As for the rest, it's just as you usually do.

After doing this, the peanut noodles that the first chef was in charge of were ready. I have to say that this chef is amazing, a bowl of noodles looks beautiful and delicious, and there is more fragrance of peanuts, which makes this bowl of noodles a little different.

After the meeting was done, Ye Feng said: "Boss Wang, I think you are also hungry, how about you taste the taste of this peanut noodles?" ”

When the chef saw that the boss was going to eat noodles in the back kitchen, he quickly brought a stool and wiped the greasy board clean.

Boss Wang was not polite, and after sitting down, he took the chopsticks and began to eat. I almost didn't eat my tongue when I ate it.

To say that this noodle and these seasonings are his daily food, there is no difference. He also watched the process of making noodles just now, and there was nothing new about it. However, due to the addition of peanuts, this noodle is very fragrant when chewed. The smell was unlike any bowl of noodles he had eaten before, and it was simply soul-stirring.

Maybe he was really hungry, maybe he was in a hurry to talk about business, maybe he wanted to give Ye Feng face, Boss Wang drank all the noodle soup very cooperatively.

After eating, he said to Ye Feng: "God! This immortal fruit is truly magical. You said earlier that it was versatile and could be used to make porridge or something, but I was only half-convinced, but now I believe it all. A bowl of ordinary noodles, with the addition of this longevity fruit, can change the taste. I see, it's just called soul hooking! Let's go, let's sign the contract and go. ”

Again, Ye Feng climbed the eighth floor again.

Ye Ermei climbed to such a high place for the first time, and after entering Penglai Pavilion, she saw Qianyan and Chen Qianshan looking at the scenery outside through the window, and the table was naturally full of delicious food.

Seeing that Ye Feng and Boss Wang were going to discuss the contract, Ye Ermei took the initiative to lean towards Chen Qianshan and followed them to see the outside world.

Taking the contract handed over by Boss Wang, Ye Feng looked at it carefully.

To say that the ancient contracts are really not rigorous at all, not to mention that there are many loopholes, at least there are many loopholes to exploit. But Ye Feng is ready to follow the local customs, and he is not ready to point it out.

Seeing that there was nothing unfavorable to him about this paper contract, Ye Feng happily signed the contract.

Seeing that Ye Feng finally signed the contract, Boss Wang was even happier. In this way, the three hundred catties of immortal fruit in Ye Feng's mouth were his own.

Thinking of this, Boss Wang said, "Brother Ye, then when are we going to pick those immortal fruits?" ”

Ye Feng said, "It's okay in the afternoon." It's just that after picking it back, you have to find a reliable person to wash it carefully, and then take advantage of the recent strong sunlight to dry it as soon as possible. Under the current conditions, it is enough to bask in the sun for five days. When it's dry, you'll be fine with it for a year. ”

In this regard, Boss Wang naturally had no objections, and then said solemnly: "Brother Ye, then look, how much are you going to sell these immortal fruits for a catty?" ”

Ye Feng didn't answer, but just said: "Boss Wang, don't be anxious, when the dish is ready, it's not too late to talk about this after you taste it." ”

Seeing Ye Feng like this, Boss Wang couldn't do it, so he could only wait for the dishes to be ready. But he knew in his heart that the price was naturally not cheap. So he began to think in his heart, how much silver a pound to set to satisfy Ye Feng.

After a while, Zhao Da came in and said, "The dish is ready, is it okay to serve it now?" ”

Boss Wang hurriedly said, "Okay, bring it up immediately." ”

To be honest, he wasn't particularly looking forward to it in his heart, after all, the methods that Ye Feng said just now were too simple. He originally thought that he would have to use abalone cucumber wings to match, but now it seems that it is estimated that it is like that.

After a while, several chefs came up with their own dishes.

The first plate is the famous Kung Pao chicken, the second plate is fried peanuts with parsley and dried beans, and the third is directly a large clay pot with fragrant braised peanuts that exude a strange taste.

Boss Wang first tasted Kung Pao chicken, and then ate a few chopsticks and parsley dried beans fried peanuts, and nodded while eating, feeling that the taste was more than many times better than he imagined.

Then, there is the pot of braised peanuts.

He peeled one and threw it in his mouth, and immediately fell in love with the taste. Originally, this was the most inconspicuous dish, and the method was simple and crude, but I didn't expect it to be the most delicious one.

ate more than a dozen pieces one after another, and then said to Chen Qianshan and the three chefs: "You also sit down and taste it." Ah, this braised longevity fruit is really delicious. ”

They had wanted to try it for a long time, but because Boss Wang hadn't ordered it yet, they didn't dare to move. After tasting it, several people were a little surprised.
