The decoration in the private room is also very luxurious, but it is not only luxurious.

In this box, there is a faint very relaxing fragrance, which seems to be some kind of light floral fragrance, but it can't be named.

"This is Qingshen incense, which is an incense method from the Western Regions, which is different from traditional incense, which is flavorful and smokeless. ”

Lin Ruo's knowledge is so high that he doesn't know where to go.

After all, she is the eldest lady of the Lin family, and she is naturally rich in poetry and books.

Hu Yue sat on a particularly soft chair bouncing around, and the two waiters waited to help Hu Yue's chair push forward.

Eating in this box, it is exquisite, the position where the main family sits must be facing the main seat at the door, and it is Lin Ruo who is the east today, so she is naturally sitting in the main seat.

Yongzhou Mansion has a rule, all guests who come to the third floor to consume must bring their own two tea and wine.

One is for this banquet, after all, the people who eat on the third floor are people with heads and faces, and they can only bring their own drinks to highlight their status.

The other is to pay the service fee for this banquet.

While the first drink was being opened and poured for all of you, the second had already been valued by the waiter.

At the end of the banquet, if the value of the wine is higher than the banquet consumption, the difference will be made up by Songhelou in the way that the customer needs.

If the value of the drink is lower than the consumption, the customer will have to make up the difference.

Because Zuo Gongquan himself is naturally a lover of wine, there are often many dignitaries and nobles on the third floor of Songhe Tower, who do not lack money to contribute precious wine.

So, this unwritten rule has been handed down ever since.

The tea that Lin Ruo brought today is the best tea brick in Nanyue Fengming tea - Liyang Fengyun.

Just such a small piece that is not enough for the palm of your hand can buy thousands of taels of silver on the market.

What is the heritage, this is called the heritage.

From the heritage of the first family of Yongzhou Mansion, it is definitely the best stitch and thread.

"Four dishes and one soup. ”

Lin Ruo opened the menu and ordered a four-dish and one-soup, the names of these four dishes and one soup are very elegant, and they are all specialties of the fried king.

"Gold powder glazed dragon and phoenix lamp. The moon sets, and the clouds and rain disperse. Just like when you are in love. Luo Hong's love and concubine's affection. ”

Hu Yue read the names of these four dishes, and she knew the words, but she couldn't tell what the dish was.

"Senior sister, what kind of dishes are these? ”

Yang Ming, who had already done his homework, said directly:

"Actually, it's shrimp and smooth chicken, white sprouts in the clear soup, fried tenderloin with honey, and braised eggplant. ”

"Oh, it's such an elegant name, I thought it was!"

After listening to Yang Ming's explanation, Hu Yue suddenly realized.

"Then what kind of soup is this golden and jade full of good marriage?"

Yang Ming smiled, the name was very interesting.

"Well, it's pumpkin vermicelli. Kim is a pumpkin and jade is a fan. ”

"It's really bluffing!"

Hu Yue, this girl is really outspoken, and such a blunt statement makes the waiters a little embarrassed.

The diners who usually serve in the luxurious room are all big names full of poetry and books, what's going on today?

Poor relatives in the countryside went to the city for the New Year?

Although the name of the dish is quite bluffing, this dish is really good.

The shrimp and smooth chicken are selected from the best sweet shrimp in the East China Sea, and this shrimp alone can be sold for more than a dozen taels of silver a catty.

The tenderness of this chicken is incredible, it is very soft and soft, but it absorbs the aroma of seasoning.

Absolutely high-end ingredients!

"In this dish, there is actually a harmony of yin and yang!"

After Yang Ming finished eating, he actually felt a sense of harmony between yin and yang.

Shrimp meat is the yin of water, chicken is the yang of the earth, between water and soil, compatible with each other, bursting into vitality!

"The shrimp and chicken in Songhelou are a famous dish that has been praised by the Zongjia family. ”

Seeing that Yang Ming was eating so vigorously, the waiter on the side told him the status of this dish.

The clear soup below is white, the honey hanging fried tenderloin, and the braised eggplant, each dish is very amazing.

Although the ingredients used are all daily seeing, except for the chicken and shrimp meat, which are very valuable, the others are very simple materials.

However, these dishes all reveal the whimsy of Zuo Gongquan.

Yin and Yang are harmonized, and the five elements are born together! Open up a new world of taste.

"I kind of can't wait to try it. ”

These four dishes are enough for Yang Ming to eat, although he tastes every bite very carefully, but the speed at which he eats is not fast.

When the bowl of soup came up, Yang Ming was stunned.

This is a very simple soup.

The golden pumpkin, the white vermicelli, the bright juice is bright, and the transparency is incomparable.

Yang Ming gently put a spoonful of soup into his mouth with a spoon.

The sweetness of the pumpkin, the softness of the vermicelli, and the deliciousness of the soup.

The taste is still superb, and like the previous dishes, it has a feeling of creating a new world.

But...... Yang Ming always felt that something was wrong.

Because in this soup, he tasted a feeling of confusion.

A kind of doubt, a kind of self-questioning, a kind of confusion.

The reincarnation of the five elements, life and creation, but there is a link missing, which seems to be done on purpose.

"There's something wrong with this soup. ”

"Huh, what's the problem?"

Lin Ruo asked, looking at Yang Ming's suspicious eyes, she tasted it again.

"It's no problem, it's delicious. ”

"It's not the soup, it's the chef's problem. ”

Yang Ming wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Mr. Zuo left a problem in this bowl of soup!"

Hu Yue drank all the bowls of soup, covered her mouth with her hand and burped before saying:

"No problem, I think it's so delicious, hey, it's worth it in this life!"

Yang Min thought for a while, and asked the waiter:

"Can I meet Mr. Zuo?"

"You're the first diner to see Zuo Gong's problem in all these years. ”

The waiter smiled and made a gesture of please.

"Zuo Gong is in the private kitchen on the fourth floor, you can go there to find him. ”

After that, Yang Ming left his seat and walked out of the luxury room, and Lin Ruo pulled Hu Yue to follow behind Yang Ming, wanting to see what Yang Ming was talking about.

When the three of them walked up to the fourth floor, they found that the layout of the fourth floor was completely different from the third floor.

The layout of the third floor is graceful and luxurious, while the fourth floor is extremely simple.

A table of eight immortals, eight small wooden chairs, decorated with only small green plants and some artworks collected by Zuo Gong.

On a wall due south, there are various souvenirs of Zuo Gong, some commemorative bowls, chopsticks and plates.

Go upstairs and walk to the east, there is Zuo Gong's private kitchen.

An old man who is nearly seventy years old is seriously carving a thumb-thick radish, presumably this old man is Zuo Gong.

"Ordinary people are not qualified to come to my kitchen. ”

"Then Old Man Zuo should know that the people who can come to your kitchen are naturally not ordinary people. ”

Yang Ming said, Zuo Gong stopped what he was doing, turned around, and glanced at Yang Ming.

Zuo Gong's hair was already white, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed that he was old, but the enthusiasm and light flashing in his eyes did not retreat.

This is a very dedicated old man.

"I'm not old, but my tone is not small. Where did the fight come from?"

"Senior Tianheng Mountain, Yang Ming, meet Old Man Zuo. ”

In front of Yang Ming is the king of the kitchen, the chef of the world must make a big salute when he sees the king of the kitchen, Yang Ming knelt down on one knee and arched his hand to Zuo Lao.

"If it weren't for my chef's family, no one would make such a big gift, I heard that there was a little chef god in Tianheng Mountain, could it be possible?"

Old Man Zuo found a Mazar to sit down and looked at Yang Ming's eyes.

"It's the juniors. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not here to see you salute, hurry up and talk about things, I'm still busy here." ”

"When the younger generation was drinking the soup, he realized the doubts of the seniors. ”

After Yang Ming finished speaking, the expression of the old man Zuo, who had just looked relaxed, paused, and then showed a look of disbelief.

"Then tell me what doubts I have. ”

"In your soup, the pumpkin is a golden thread, and now the gold state of the five elements, the vermicelli is white jade, and the earth state of the five elements is formed, and the white jade and gold threads are entangled with each other, and the gold and soil are born together. ”

"In the two flavors of the symbiosis, the soil contains gold and gold breaks the soil, you neutralize the three flavors of sweet and sour, accompanied by sesame pepper, and feel the five flavors of life are mixed. ”

"In the soup, there are all five flavors of life, but there are five flavors, and there is a state of mutual growth, but there is a lack of endless reincarnation. ”

"The first four dishes all have the meaning of reincarnation, but in this soup, it is true that Jin Cheng broke the ground and came to an abrupt end. ”

The more Yang Ming spoke, the more moist Zuo Gong's eyes became, and it seemed that Yang Ming had said it to his heart.

"Could it be that Mr. Zuo, no one later?"

After Yang Ming asked, Zuo Gong rubbed his eyes through a handkerchief, cleared his throat, and asked:

"You, your name is Yang Ming, right? ”

Yang Ming nodded.

"How old are you this year?"

"I just passed my fifteenth birthday, and I just happened to be sixteen years old during the Chinese New Year. ”

"It's good, if my family is alive and well, my grandson should be so old. ”

Yang Ming's guesses are all right, Old Man Zuo is indeed no one later.

Thirty years ago, Old Man Zuo's name was Zhenyongzhou Mansion and he won the name of the king of fire, and he originally wanted to pass on this name to his children.

It's a pity that Zuo Gong's child was full of enthusiasm, so he didn't want to be a cook, so he went to the front line alone and went to the frontier to protect his family and defend the country.

Ten years is like a day, what Zuo Gong is looking forward to is not the great victory in the frontier, but the funeral report of his son.

The four dishes in front are all high-spirited works of Zuo Gong when he was young.

And this soup is indeed the last dish with the pain of losing a child.

After the pumpkin vermicelli soup, Zuo Gong sealed the stove and never pushed new dishes.

"Old man Zuo, how about letting the junior cook a dish for you?"

Yang Ming suggested, Zuo Gong was a little curious, this junior in front of him actually dared to cook in front of him?

Not to mention this junior, even the other seven famous chefs dare not say that they are playing tricks of stir-frying in front of his Zuo Gongquan.

Not to mention whether it is done well or not, this kid's courage surpasses that of ninety percent of chefs.

Yang Ming picked up the apron hanging on the wall, quickly slice the ingredients, and after stir-frying on high heat, a plate of dishes was presented to the table in front of Zuo Gong.

This dish is also very simple, it is an ordinary shredded potato with sharp peppers.

"You appreciate the light, you taste it. ”

When he saw this dish, Zuo Gong was inevitably a little disappointed.

This shredded potato with sharp pepper is completely a folk dish, and it is a home-cooked dish.

Not to mention the taste of this dish, he is too simplistic to reflect the cooking skills of the cook.

Zuo Gong reluctantly took a bite of chopsticks, but after eating the first bite, he suddenly found something.

So, Zuo Gong ate the second, third, and fourth bites.

"You kid, hey, that's kind of interesting!"

"Yang Ming, isn't this just ordinary shredded potatoes with sharp peppers? Could it be that there is some mystery?"

Yang Ming took out a seasoning from the seasoning box.

Aniseed.

"Ordinary shredded potatoes, fried in octagonal pan frying oil, will also have a different taste. ”

"Of course, this is not my main purpose, potatoes are the most common ingredient eaten by the soldiers of the border area. ”

"In the cold northern Xinjiang, potatoes provide these soldiers with food and clothing energy, and they taste very good and are loved. ”

"Potatoes are the roots of plants, rooted in the soil, thriving, breaking the soil, but the heart remains in the soil. ”

"It is not a combination of mutual support that can create a new world, and a single thing can also open up a new field. ”

"Star anise can strengthen the stomach, dispel wind, labor pain, cold and dampness, and is one of the seasonings with medicinal value. ”

"Zuo Gong, it's true that the soil contains gold, but the soil is not just gold. ”

"Soil can contain all things. ”

Yang Ming's words actually made Zuo Gong a little moved, so it seems that he is indeed an old man who is narrow-minded.

Because of the pain of losing a child, it was muddy, and it was closed and nothing new, and for so many years, I have been immersed in this pain.

So many years have passed, and the frontier has been victorious, after all, his stupid son did not die in vain.

Rooted in the soil, it grows like crazy.

Minimalist as a potato, but it feeds the soldiers of the frontier.

Sure enough, the road is simple.

"It's a little interesting, but ah, my problem is still not solved, hey, little guy, you want to enlighten me, but what?"

"I'm a bad old man, won't I be the queen after all? You can't help me with this. ”

Yang Ming thought about it, indeed, he did understand Zuo Gong's heart knot, and he did interpret the solution of the heart knot in his own way.

But in the final analysis, the heart knot is still the heart knot, if there is no successor, how can it be completely dissolved?

"That's it, let's discuss, you recognize me as a godfather, and I will pass on your mantle!"

"Huh?"

"Ahh

The king of Beiqian fried wants to pass on Yang Ming's mantle?

This is big news, and Lin Ruo is still a little envious of this lucky Yang Ming.

However, looking at Yang Ming, he didn't know what this meant at all......
