Chapter 129: Strange Dish Names
Chi Huo entered the city smoothly, and after a few days of dust, he also felt tired, in this huge imperial city, he didn't know anything with a black eye.
"This senior, it should be the first time to come to Tancheng!"
Chi Huo turned his head to look, and there was a young man in a green shirt walking towards him, with a smile on his face, he smiled and said with a smile on Chi Huo's puzzled face: "My name is Yang Xiaofan, seniors can call me Xiaofan, I have lived in this imperial city since I was a child, there is no place here that I don't know, if the seniors want to quickly get acquainted with ......"
Chi Huo waved his hand and smiled: "Are you a tour guide?" After speaking, he knew that he was wrong, and this Xuantian Continent probably doesn't have this word.
But I saw Yang Xiaofan clapping his hands and said: "The two words of the predecessor summarize it incisively, yes, we generally say the guide, but the word guide is very exquisite, the senior should be a person who reads poetry and books, and the little student is envious!"
Chi Huo was speechless, this guy is too good at talking, and said with a smile: "May I ask you to be a tour guide, how much does it cost a day?"
Yang Xiaofan suddenly said happily: "Senior, I charge a very low fee, ten taels of silver a day, not five taels!"
Chi Huo nodded: "Okay, I've been on the road for a few days, the food in this imperial city is the best, you lead the way in front!" "Since you have arrived in this imperial city, as a foodie, the first task is naturally to taste the food here."
"Senior, you have found the right person, I have a clear door to the taverns and restaurants in this imperial city, what grade do you want to choose?" Yang Xiaofan looked at Chi Huo, the other party's clothes looked very plain, so he couldn't guess how much money Chi Huo had on him, so he asked.
"Of course, it's the best and most distinctive!" Chi Huo smiled.
"Okay!" Yang Xiaofan said, leading the way in front, but the area of this imperial city is also large enough, so Chi Huo chartered a carriage.
"Senior, you see that this street is full of shops, but they are all pills and herbs and mysterious weapons, if you need it, you can come here to have a look, especially the one called Treasure Pavilion, which is the best shop in the imperial city, and from time to time there will be high-grade Xuancao and Xuanqi for sale......"
Along the way, Chi Huo didn't say a word, quietly listened to Yang Xiaofan's introduction, and walked all the way to roughly understand the distribution of this imperial city.
It is roughly divided into five areas, the most central place is the core of the imperial city, where the imperial palace of the Great Xia Kingdom is located, and the outer circle of the imperial city is inhabited by royal relatives and nobles and some prominent officials.
Outside, there are all kinds of shops, and they are also the gathering places of most cultivators, and outside, they are the places where ordinary people live.
"Senior, look, the restaurant called Jufulou in front of you is the most famous in the imperial city, and the chef in it used to be the imperial chef of the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, but the price is a bit expensive!"
Chi Huo nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll go in and take a look, if you have something to do, just busy yourself first, if it's okay, just wait for me here! This is your hard-earned money!"
Yang Xiaofan was happy to find silver, this is a piece of ten taels of silver, firstly, Chi Huo is not short of money, and secondly, there is really no broken silver smaller than these ten taels on him.
Walking into the so-called best restaurant in the imperial city, a shopkeeper greeted him: "How many are you?"
"One! Find me a window spot!"
The shopkeeper agreed, and took him to the second floor, not to mention, this Jufu Building is clean and tidy, and the ground will be split if the flies fall, and he found a position by the window Chi Huo, and said with a smile: "What specialties do you have here, just go on!"
The shopkeeper smiled: "The guest officer should be here for the first time, we have four or five hundred kinds of dishes in Jufulou, and there are forty or fifty special dishes, so ......."
Chi Huo scratched his head, he really couldn't finish these forty or fifty dishes, so he simply picked up the recipe, and the names on it were all strange and incomprehensible.
"This peerless double pride, the name is good, let's have a copy! This is called teasing you, what kind of dish, forget it, let's have a copy! This mother and son meet, I said that you gave this name, I don't even know what kind of dish it is, how to order it?" Chi Huo looked at it for a long time, and many of them were names he knew.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, if you like lighter, this volcanic snow is very good, if you like meat, this is a good choice to caress your black hair!"
Chi Huo didn't bother to choose again: "Okay, let's come up with these dishes!"
"That guest officer, our twenty-year-old daughter Hong, do you want to have a pot?"
Chi Huo shook his head: "I have my own wine, I can't get used to other wines, go and serve the food!"
The shopkeeper agreed, and hurriedly retreated, and after a while, the dishes were served one by one, the corners of Chi Huo's mouth twitched, and he looked at the shopkeeper and said, "What kind of dish is this green chili fried red pepper?"
"Hey, guest officer, this is the peerless double pride you ordered, but this is not ordinary green pepper and red pepper, this is the wisteria pepper carefully cultivated by our store, and it is the Xuancao of the ninth grade!"
Chi Huo was speechless for a while, his eyes looked at a red fruit that was cut into small pieces, like a tomato, and simply sprinkled a layer of white sugar on it and said, "Don't tell me, this is the so-called volcanic snow?"
This is the best Huoyun fruit used in our store, with secret sugar, crisp and delicious......
When Chi Huo heard this explanation, he endured it and continued: "Then what is this plate of fried soybeans with bean sprouts?"
"Oh, guest officer, you don't know this, this is the famous mother and son meeting!"
When Chi Huo heard this explanation, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the remaining grass was a meat dish, called caressing your black hair, and it turned out to be a pot of pig's feet stewed kelp, and he really had the urge to scold his mother.
Fortunately, the ingredients used in these dishes are okay, basically they are all made of Xuancao Xuanyao or Jiupin's Xuanqi meat, although the name is a bit nonsense, but the taste is not bad.
For example, the beans used by the mother and son to meet are a kind of nine-grade Xuancao golden-veined beans, Chi Huo looked at these ingredients, but remembered some of the things he used to eat in his previous life, and his heart moved.
"Brother Shopkeeper, are these ingredients for sale in your house?" Chi Huo asked as he put down his chopsticks.
The shopkeeper said with a look of embarrassment: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, these ingredients are all grown by the store itself, and there are not many raw materials, so they are not sold to the public!"
Chi Huo knew that the other party would say this, most of these materials were nine-grade Xuancao Xuanyao, if they were planted, they would generally mature once in two or three years, and it was estimated that the business of this store would not have to be done at that time.
