Chapter 205: It's hard to greet this distinguished guest
"Fragrant, this bun is really fragrant." Wang Shishi smelled the smell and entered the kitchen, secretly took a small bun with chopsticks and blew it down, and then stuffed it into her mouth.
However, the filling inside the bun was piping hot, almost burning her tongue!
Wang Shishi took a small bite and put the bun in a bowl, but the filling flowed out.
"What kind of stuffing is this? Why haven't I eaten it? Wang Shishi poked the bun with chopsticks again, and peeled off all the skin of the bun, and a stream of crab roe flowed out.
"It looks quite familiarβ" Wang Shishi poked with chopsticks, put the chopsticks in her mouth and licked them.
"This, this can't be crab roe, right?" Wang Shishi was shocked, and ran to the place where the ingredients were put to see, and the crabs that were crawling around were all gone.
"No, Manxi, you actually use crab roe to make steamed buns! Or make it a staple food! There is no reason for this! Do you know how expensive I sell this crab? Do you know how much this bun is worth? My heart hurts! Wang Shishi wailed.
"Crab roe is indeed a good thing, not only can you make steamed buns, but also fried rice, I'll make it for you another day." Hua Manxi was taking out the baked cakes in the oven and said casually.
"Forget about making steamed buns, you still have fried rice! Chef Hua, can we not be so violent! This crab should be steamed with soju, warmed with a pot of fine lotus white, and then carefully took the crab meat and crab roe while drinking the wine! Wang Shishi said sadly.
"The dishes are ready, let's go and entertain your guests." Hua Manxi took out the baked cake, visited it, and then said, "By the way, this baked cake has a different name, it is called Shishan baked cake, and from now on, it will be our specialty here." β
"And what about this bun - can you change the name?" Wang Shishi cautiously glanced at Hua Manxi and said.
"Yes, whatever you like, it's just a bun anyway." Hua Manxi doesn't matter.
"Hehe, this steamed bun made of crab roe is so expensive, then I'll call it a golden bun." Wang Shishi said proudly, beckoned, and asked the maids waiting outside the door to come forward to serve the food.
After setting up the meal, Chen Xiuli invited the Nine Princes and Shen Shaoshan to come late.
"Breakfast has been set, please invite Lord Wang and Lord Shen to eat." Chen Xiuli smiled slightly, pulled the stool again, and poured tea, very thoughtful.
Nan Jinxing and Shen Shao glanced at the dishes on the table, and saw that the dishes were all colorful, flavorful, and flavorful, and after sitting down, they didn't forget to praise them: "I heard that Lord Chen lives in my uncle's house, and that Miss Wang last night was your cousin, your cousin is quite capable." β
Although it was Shen Shao who spoke, not Nan Jinxing, who has always liked to play with women, Chen Xiuli still couldn't help but be a little nervous, and said cautiously: "It's all the people in the house who are busy, and this cousin of Xiaguan has lost her mother since she was a child, and she can't be disciplined, and she has a somewhat domineering temperament, and she doesn't like kitchen things, but she likes to do business." β
"Lost your mother since childhood? That is similar to Lord Chen, no wonder Lord Chen treats Miss Wang more kindly than Miss Chen. Shen Shao smiled faintly and took the sentence seemingly harmlessly.
Chen Xiuli clenched his fists silently, he couldn't figure out what he meant, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and personally sandwiched a piece of abalone to Shen Shao with chopsticks, and still introduced calmly and elegantly: "Lord Shen said with a smile, please taste the dishes, what we made today are all the specialties of our Shishan County." β
He sandwiched the dishes for Nan Jinxing again, and introduced them one by one: "This is a product of abalone, this is a golden anchovy shrimp, this is an iron plate squid, this is a seafood soup, this is a steamed bun, all of them are seafood buns, there are vegetarian meat, this is dim sum, Shishan baked cakes." β
Chen Xiuli's voice is clear and warm, and he introduces them one by one, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"Lord Chen is really proficient in the way of eating, it seems that although this Shishan County is a little poor, Lord Chen eats well." Shen Shao smiled again, but his tone didn't know why it was thorny.
It just so happened that Wang Shishi came in and served the last dish, which was cold seaweed and kelp made by Hua Manxi.
As soon as she entered the door and heard the old fox surnamed Shen sarcastically mocking her cousin, where could she still bear it, and immediately put a large plate of cold salad in her hand on the table, and responded: "This adult, this is a bad word, my cousin is a poor seven-grade small county order, where can he eat these things every day, not to mention anything else, just say that there is a golden bun in this bun, something called a golden bun, guess what it is made of?" β
Shen Shao was aroused by her, his peach blossom eyes smiled slightly, and his radiant eyes paused on Wang Shishi's bright face with thin anger, and said word by word: "Shen is shallow, and I hope that Miss Wang will teach him." β
Wang Shishi glared at him unceremoniously, sneered, and then said: "I used a sea crab weighing more than two catties, and I needed to take the crab roe of the mother crab, and the crab roe was modulated to make the filling, and the bun was wrapped." This plump bun requires at least two crab roe to make it, right? What is the price of a two-pound sea crab, I guess Lord Shen also knows a little, right? β
"I really don't know that there are so many doorways hidden in such a small bun, it's really ashamed. In this way, this official and the ninth master are really bothering Lord Chen? β
"Where is it bothering him, Lord Shen is eating now with my Wang Shishi's own pocket, for the sake of your cousin's guests." Wang Shishi snorted unceremoniously.
Her obedient, steamed buns made of crab roe, she hasn't eaten them yet! Serve them with delicious food and drink, and dare to sarcastically mock her cousin openly and secretly! What a big face!
"Then Shen and Jiu Ye are really grateful to Miss Wang, but what about the group of Qin family boys outside, who also paid out of Miss Wang's own pocket to find hospitality? Miss Wang is really rich. Shen Shao said lightly again.
This person looks good, why does he speak so badly?
Wang Shishi really wanted to glance at him again, but Chen Xiuli dragged her shirt under the table several times!
"Hehe, that's not it, although Miss Ben has a few small money, but you are such a big group, you really can't afford to entertain, they are doing business in partnership with me, and they will naturally deduct expenses from the profits in the future." Wang Shishi said truthfully.
"Oh, I don't know what kind of business Miss Wang is doing with them? Shen also happens to have two small coins that have nowhere to spend, why don't you take Shen to make a fortune together? Shen Shao hooked the corners of his lips and said slowly.
"Yes, if you want to cooperate, take 100,000 taels." Wang Shishi was not ambiguous at all, and suddenly approached Shen Shao, and said mysteriously, "I'll make money for you." β
"Haha, Lord Shen, it's all a bunch of children messing around, what are you making a fuss? Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, what is this steamed bun called golden bun, this king has never heard of it, taste it first. Nan Jinxing suddenly interrupted Shen Shao and Wang Shishi's words.
"The ninth master is right, this golden bun, the filling is golden, there are shrimp buns in it, and vegetarian buns, please use it slowly." Wang Shishi unfolded a flower-like smile, and after saying that, she turned around and went out.
It was Shen Shao, who stared at her for a long time, and only after half a sound did he retract his eyes and said to Chen Xiuli: "Lord Chen, your cousin is very interesting, why don't you lend me and the ninth master a guide and take us around your Shishan County?" β
Chen Xiuli was eating steamed buns, Shen Shao suddenly asked, he was stunned for a moment, the buns bit the skin, the filling gushed out, and the hot soup stimulated his tongue a little hot, and he couldn't help but tear it in a low voice.
"What, Lord Chen is reluctant?" Shen Shao raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.
"No, no, it's Shishi's honor to be able to accompany Jiu Ye and Lord Shen, it's just that she has been messing around since she was a child, and she is my uncle's heart, so I have to be cautious and look at her." Chen Xiuli returned to the Tao.
"Poetry? Good name. Shen Shao didn't know why, he actually chewed these two words, and his eyes were dark, which made people more and more incomprehensible.
This meal, Nan Jinxing and Shen Shao were quite satisfied, especially Nan Jinxing, who never ate steamed buns, after listening to Wang Shishi's gimmick of golden steamed buns, he was stunned to eat three small steamed buns and ate vegetables, and he felt a little full at this time.
"Master Chen, you are really blessed, you are a good cook, not bad." Nan Jinxing said continuously, "Although I am from a wealthy background, but Kyoto is so far from the sea, I have never eaten such fresh seafood, it seems that the plaque that my father gave you the town of food is really worthy of its name." β
"The Ninth Master has won the prize." Chen Xiuli's face was still polite and sparse, not flattered, nor overjoyed.
"I'm a little envious of Lord Chen, but although the poor official is a high-ranking official, he is still cuminous, and he has no sweetness for a girl, but Lord Chen, who has both a cousin who fights righteousness and squanders money, and a confidant who is a confidant." Shen Shao smiled coldly, and said, "I and Jiu Ye have eaten these two meals very well, why don't you invite that friend of Lord Chen to come and meet?" It's not easy for this official to accept this heart in vain, so he has to give some rewards. β
This is the second time Shen Shao has mentioned that he wants to see Manxi.
Could it be that he already knew that this food festival was made by Manxi? That's why that's why it's so?
Chen Xiuli had mixed feelings in his heart, and thousands of thoughts flashed through him, but he couldn't refuse anymore, if he blocked it again, it would add to the incident.
"Where, if Xiaguan's friends can be rewarded by Lord Shen and the Ninth Master, Xiaguan also feels honored." Chen Xiuli nodded slightly, beckoned to the maid who was guarding outside, and said in a low voice, "Go and invite Chef Hua to come over and meet the distinguished guests." β
