Chapter 8: A Taste of Pot

Because Le Yuyu and Chef Gao wanted to compete, and Gu Yu and his party wanted to watch the game, the competition that was originally competing in the kitchen was moved to the backyard of the kitchen.

She raised her head to look at the hot sun, couldn't help frowning, looked at Gu Yu and his party in the kitchen, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, waved the spoon, but accidentally knocked off Chef Gao's hat.

"What do you want to do?" Chef Gao yelled at her viciously, put the radish in his hand on the ground, picked up his hat and patted it, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to......"

"I know you didn't mean it, but you did it on purpose...... Hum! She watched Chef Gao raise her eyebrows slightly and put down the spoon in her hand, while Chef Gao glared at her fiercely and flicked his sleeves away. She shrugged her shoulders with a grin and pondered as she glanced at the ingredients, fruits, vegetables, and seasonings prepared on the table.

"Wow-"

Gu Ji's voice exploded into her musings, and she followed Gu Ji's line of sight to look at the tall chef opposite, a large carp swimming in his hand. She saw that the scales fell off the cutting board, and the sides of the carp had been cut diagonally, and if the carp was fried after being dipped in flour, the carp would burst into a dragon as the first oil bubble burst.

"Ahem-" Ye Yan coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back, Le Yan glanced at Ye Yan's face, smiled, and immediately picked up the beef with the best ingredients. As soon as she fell to the cut, she found that the beef had been poured with water, which had caused the meat to be eroded, and the inner meat gave off a rancid smell, she immediately picked up the other meats, the situation was similar, and her face sank. She picked up the fruits and vegetables and cut them all together, only to find that they were either eaten by insects, broken or flooded.

She raised her head and glanced at Ye Yan, biting her lip slightly, but her eyes were attracted by the smile on Gu Ji's face, "If you want Ye Yan to marry you, have you asked me!" She cut out all the meats, fruits and vegetables that could still be used, and cut them into chunks as much as she could.

She boiled the corn, lotus root, huaishan and chicken nuggets in a clay pot to make the broth, and on another stove she slipped the pork ribs, squid and tofu into the hot oil and fried them, then scooped them up and drained the oil.

The marinated beef and mutton are poured into a hot pan and stir-fried with the garlic until fragrant, while she pours in strong sorghum wine, stir-fries it in the pot over high heat, and tosses the dish at the last turn. She then stir-fried the shelled prawns and celery, then opened them in the corner and simmered the radish and mutton.

Every dish on her side can only be eaten by one person, Chef Gao sneered at the unfashionable Le Xuan, and began the final steps. She opened the lid, looked at the corn, lotus root, Huaishan and chicken nuggets tumbling in the pot, pursed her lips, glanced at the time when there were still two sticks of incense, her face sank, and muttered: "I can only fight!" ”

She rekindled a small stove and placed a casserole pot with stock on the small stove. After putting it in the ironing rack, she put the corn and white radish on the bottom, and then spread the Huai Mountain, fried yuba, and lotus root slices.

After the vermicelli was placed on top of the lotus root slices as a water-absorbing and insulating artifact, and surrounded the casserole with a few slices of Chinese cabbage, she put the stewed radish and mutton on top of the vermicelli, then spread the crispy fried tofu, squid, and pork ribs, and finally put the prawns stir-fried with celery on the top layer.

She closed the lid, and seeing that there was only one stick of incense left, she took the risk of pouring a wet cloth to wipe her hands full of sorghum wine and covering the casserole, and after adding a lot of firewood, she proudly poured the whole jar of sorghum wine on the casserole.

Suddenly, the casserole was wrapped in raging fire, and from time to time it spat out tongues of fire, Le Xuanyu hid from afar, but his eyes were always watching the situation of the casserole. Everyone in the house sighed when they watched her dishes turn into a raging fire in front of them, Ye Tiangang looked at the expressionless Ye Yan, Gu Yu smiled and said, "It seems that I am going to prepare a dowry for Ji'er!" ”

"Father......" It is estimated that Jiao bowed his head and smiled, while Ye Yan looked at Le Xuan's miss, although his face was expressionless, but there was indeed trust in his eyes, "Your Majesty!" I don't know who will win and who will lose......"

"Hahaha - it seems that Ye Aiqing will only be convinced if she eats her burnt dishes!" Gu Yu looked at Ye Yan intently, only to see him nod slightly, and at this moment, the inner supervisor beside Gu Yu shouted: "It's time-"

Le Xuanyu watched the flame outside the casserole just go out, and the entire casserole was burned black, and she was very uneasy, but at this time, wisps of white smoke rose, she smelled the fragrance of meat, vegetables and fruits, and the strong smell of wine, her eyes flashed, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she shouted: "Serve-"

Everyone watched Le Xuanyu walk into the house with a thick white cloth and a black casserole, and the "Carp Leaping Dragon Gate" made by Chef Gao was almost the same, "Chef Gao, what kind of dish are you cooking?" ”

Chef Gao bowed to Gu Yu and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the 'Carp Leaping Dragon Gate' that the minister has recently researched. Le Yuxuan looked at Chef Gao's carp leaping dragon gate, which belonged to the best products in terms of color and fragrance, and looked at Chef Gao with appreciation in her eyes. Ye Yan coughed lightly and pulled her gaze back, "Le Xuan, what kind of dish are you cooking?" ”

Chef Gao looked at the black casserole and sneered: "Lord Wang, if you look at the black appearance of this dish, you can know that the dishes inside must be burnt and burned. Le Xuan glanced at the poor quality of the tall chef with disdain, and looked at Ye Yan and Gu Yu with his hands on his chest. Gu Yu looked at the black casserole in front of him, and the smile on his face made the nasolabial folds deep, "Ye Aiqing, you can't admit defeat anymore." ”

He glanced at Ye Tiangang beside him with a smile and said nothing, put the fish meat from the inner prison into his mouth, and chewed it contentedly, "Your Majesty! Turnip greens, each with their own love. Wechen has been used to eating the dishes made by Le Xuan, and now how her dishes look, Wechen still believes that she will not disappoint Wechen. Ye Tiangang watched Ye Yan save face for Le Xuan, and looked at her contemplatively.

"Since, if Aiqing can finish this pot of burnt dishes, then the bet will be written off!" Gu Yu was clearly embarrassed by the night fire, and eating a pot of burnt and mushy dishes was as painful as being cut by someone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Without hesitation, he lifted the lid of the black casserole, and the bubbling heat rose to the sky, and the aromatic aroma of wine suddenly emanated from the pot and broke into everyone's noses. The aroma of meat and wine complement each other, and the aroma in the pot lingers on the tip of each person's nose. The meat and vegetables are slightly tumbling under the residual heat of the broth, attracting everyone's attention from the "carp leaping dragon gate" to the many dishes in the pot.

Ye Yan pursed his lips and smiled, stood up and picked up the prawns stained with soup stock and sent them to his mouth, the delicious prawns bounced in his mouth, making him feel like he was deep in the deep sea, and the salty and moderate soup stock was like a warship riding the wind and waves in his mouth. He looked at Le Xuan with satisfaction, and then picked up the crispy fried tofu and ate it in one bite, the crispy skin perfectly locked the soup stock in the tofu, and the crispy tofu on the outside and tender on the inside made a smile on his expressionless face.

Gu Yu couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he looked at the black casserole in front of him, and Ye Tiangang even directly took the chopsticks and reached into the pot to pick up the squid slices, "Poof! The squid fillet was like a depth charge in his mouth, the broth exploded in his mouth, and the hot squid fillet made his tongue suffer, but he was reluctant to spit it out because of the deliciousness and swallowed it, "It's delicious!" ”

Ye Tiangang praised Le Xuanyu uprightly, and picked up the ribs in front of Gu Yu and gnawed them deliciously, "Your Majesty! This pot is really delicious! These ribs are fried and crispy, but the meat is soaked in broth and moistened, and the combination of the two is delicious! ”

"Wow! This beef slice is refreshing and tender, thick and fresh...... "Ye Tiangang did not hesitate to praise the words, and praised the deliciousness in the black casserole, Chef Gao couldn't believe it and watched the famous two generations of war kings not eat his dishes at this moment, but ate a pot of stew.

Le Yuxuan picked her teeth with a smile, nodded at Ye Yan, her eyes fell on Gu Yu, who was constantly swallowing saliva, and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you taste it?" ”

Gu Yu frowned and struggled, but when he saw that half of the dishes in the black casserole were gone, his face sank, and he slapped the table heavily, scaring everyone. But the next moment, he grabbed his chopsticks, no longer waiting for the inner supervisor to pick up the dishes, but did it himself.

Gu Yu put the pork ribs that Ye Tiangang said into his mouth and ate them with satisfaction. His taste buds were like Ye Tiangang, deeply attracted by this hot delicacy, but when he put down the chopsticks for the second time, he was provoked by Ye Tiangang, "Your Majesty! Don't you look down on this pot thing? ”

"You're embarrassed to say me! It's not that you didn't look down on you just now! Gu Yu glared at Ye Tiangang, and Ye Tiangang swallowed the fans in his mouth, "But Lao Chen and Ye Yan are on the same front, since Ye Yan agrees with her, it also means that Lao Chen agrees with her." Gu Yu backhanded the chopsticks in the Yetiangang pot, "According to what you say, your two grandfathers and grandsons are cultivating the plank road to me, and the darkness is Chencang!" ”

Ye Yan silently stepped aside, letting the two fight because of eating the things in the casserole, as if there were no monarchs and ministers. When the two of them were fighting, Le Yuyu heated up the remaining Ganoderma lucidum, stuffed it into Yeyan's hand, and said in a low voice: "There is only one bowl left, hurry up and eat it!" This porridge is good for the wound on your back! Ye Yan looked at the warm porridge that was forced into his hand in astonishment, and just wanted to ask her why he knew that he was injured, but saw the two of them smash the bottomed black casserole on the table to the ground because of the fight.

Le Xuanyu tugged at the corners of her mouth, watching the black casserole turn into countless pieces, and the soup juice was scattered all over the ground, and roared angrily: "You guys are still fighting!" You've wasted everything! The two of them stopped because of Le Yu's angry shouting, and stood in a corner like two children who had done something wrong, and shouted in unison: "It's all his fault!" ”

The two of them had a surprisingly tacit understanding, pretending to be annoyed, she was amused by the two in front of her, "You two are a hundred years old and still fighting, it will make people laugh if it is spread." ”

"Whoever dares to say it, I will behead him!" Gu Yu glanced around the people in the room fiercely, and Ye Yan secretly handed the clean porridge bowl to her, cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty! Who do you say won this game? Ye Yan pointed to the broken black casserole on the ground, and Ye Tiangang snorted even more, "If someone has nothing to eat in the future for the sake of face, I will tell outsiders - their high Son of Heaven actually demolished other people's houses for a delicacy!" ”

"Ye Tiangang, you are in danger!" Gu Yu glared angrily at Ye Tiangang, who was not afraid of death, flicked his sleeves, pointed at Le Xuanxuan and said, "What is this pot thing called?" Why is it so delicious? ”
