Chapter 41: Tang Yan's Engagement Banquet (First Update)
Zhou Zheng only made two dishes and one porridge, which is a relatively simple home-cooked configuration.
He himself is not too dependent on those nutrients in food, and he does not eat much. With Liang Yulan's physique, it is estimated that he usually eats only fine but not much.
Therefore, if you cook too many dishes, it has no meaning except to look good on the face, and it will only cause waste. The richer the people like them, the more frugal they are.
The two dishes are stewed mutton with dried ginger and cinnamon, and astragalus and dragon ginseng pot. Among them, the materials are all good products that replenish Yuanyang, warm the spleen and stomach, clear the blood veins, and disperse cold air.
Both dishes are red, with lots of chili peppers.
"Do you know I like spicy food?" Liang Yulan was surprised.
Zhou Zheng shook his head, "You didn't say it, how could I know? I just know that you need to eat spicy food." Other girls may be afraid of chili peppers, afraid of fire, and afraid of poor skin. But you won't, your body is worse than the average cold constitution. ”
"As for the ingredients and auxiliary materials, they are also warm properties. You taste it. ”
Liang Yulan moved her chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.
"Well," Liang Yulan smiled and nodded, "How did you make the mutton so tender?" It retains the umami of the mutton, but it is as tender as fish, which is really unprecedented. ”
"You can do it by completely crushing the tiny tendons inside the lamb. Zhou Zheng said.
"Then you're strong enough. ”
Zhou Zheng was noncommittal. He just urged the true yuan, and he could do it with a light grip on the mutton.
Liang Yulan sandwiched a piece of meat in the flying dragon pot with anticipation and savored it.
The flying dragon is commonly known as the hazel chicken, the dragon meat in the sky and the donkey meat on the ground, it is said to be. It is also a nourishing famous product, and it is one of the signature dishes of Yangcheng Sovereign Hotel.
But after Zhou Zheng's improvement, not only the quality and quantity of ginseng and astragalus are guaranteed, but the processing of flying dragon meat is by no means comparable to ordinary chefs.
"My God, I heard you say that you pay attention to health and don't care about taste, but you still pretend to be modest! I have eaten many famous chefs at home and abroad, and your cooking skills are not even weaker than the master chef who has been in charge for twenty or thirty years!"
Zhou Zheng listened to Liang Yulan's praise and was not proud.
What is twenty or thirty years? He has been cooking in the Tianxuan Continent for more than 100 years, and he has cooked all kinds of delicacies and seafoods, elixirs, and strange beasts, but his cooking skills have been criticized by Meng Li for being useless.
Zhou Zheng inevitably missed Meng Li's dishes that were burned away from the fire, which were veritable delicacies in the world, immortal food in the sky.
Looking at these dishes on my table again, it is really boring.
Liang Yulan didn't care about Zhou Zheng, she was happy to eat, and she was full of praise for Zhou Zheng's craftsmanship.
After two dishes, there is a third porridge.
"Safflower longan glutinous rice porridge. Use freshly picked saffron that has been cultivated in a special way, which has an excellent effect on your ailment, try it. ”
Zhou Zheng gave Liang Yulan a good treat and handed it over.
Liang Yulan took it, with a little warmth on her face. While drinking with a spoon, he looked at Zhou Zheng from time to time.
Zhou Zheng also lowered his head and drank a little, not noticing Liang Yulan's gaze. His face was pale, as if he didn't make the food that this foodie who had eaten all over the world was full of praise.
"Have you always been so cold since you were a child?" Liang Yulan put down the porridge bowl and stared at the big eyes of Min Min Temur, looking at Zhou Zheng curiously.
Zhou Zheng gently put down the soup bowl that was brought to his mouth and smiled, "It seems that no one has said that I am cold, why do you think so?"
Liang Yulan shook her head, "On the surface, you are a person who talks and laughs, is relaxed, and treats people and things in a measured manner. In fact, I can feel that you have a unique temperament in your bones, as if the whole world does not matter in your heart, it is a kind of arrogance that thinks that you are above the whole world. This is what I understand as high coldness, which exists invisibly and is particularly deadly. ”
Zhou Zheng picked up the soup bowl again, "My personality is like this, I don't like to have deep friendships with people. ”
"I think you need to check your mental age. Liang Yulan said with a smile, "Maybe it's an old monster in his seventies and eighties." ”
Zhou Zheng couldn't help but smile and looked at Liang Yulan.
"Everyone has their own way of life and their own way of life. Because what I understand as success is not about being rich and powerful, nor about pursuing fame and fortune and being respected. It's enough to be able to spend your life the way you like. ”
"You have a point. But don't be too cold, be easy-going, communicate more with people, and communicate more with the outside world in order to find more meaning in life. There is a saying: The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. ”
Zhou Zheng wiped his mouth with a piece of paper, "In the fifth episode of Dream of Red Mansions, you will be in the fantasy realm and will be fascinated by the twelve hairpins, and you will drink immortal mash to perform Dream of Red Mansions." ”
Liang Yulan laughed, "You are really a living treasure." ”
After eating, Zhou Zheng made some medicinal tea for Liang Yulan. The two made small talk about some trivial matters in their respective lives.
"It's not early, I still have to go to the station to pick up Xiaozhuang. I'll be staying here in Haicheng for a while now, and I'll be in touch at any time. ”
Zhou Zheng got up to see her off.
"When you're a few days of the month, remember to call me. I said I would heal you, and I would do it. ”
Liang Yulan's face turned red and nodded. "Bye-bye. ”
Seeing Liang Yulan leave the lakeside garden, Zhou Zheng went to the courtyard of Tang Wanjun's villa again, picked a lot of medicinal materials that were effective for women's palace cold and menstrual pain, and used the decoction furnace in Tang Wanjun's house to refine a small pot of decoction.
When the soup was hot, he supplemented it with the True Yuan juice to shape his body, and finally got more than a dozen round nameless pills.
Not all pills in the cultivation world have names, a qualified pill master will adjust the formula and ratio according to the different physical conditions of the target, so the pills refined each time are different, and of course there is no need to have the same name.
Nameless, that is, famous. For example, the Sauvignon Blanc in the Blue Jade Tobacco Bar is not also a name that you want?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng called Liu Sha and asked if he could meet her best friend.
Liu Sha said that her best friend has not been feeling well in the past few days, and there are a lot of things, and it is estimated that it will be a few days before she is free to see him.
However, in the evening, Zhou Zheng received a call from Tang Wanjun, saying that it would be Tang Yan's engagement dinner two days later, and he wanted to invite Zhou Zheng to attend, and by the way, he could introduce some fellow people to him and let him see the piece of jade.
Zhou Zheng agreed, he really needed Tang Wanjun's network resources. For example, in today's world, there are many things such as elixirs, jade antiques, magic weapons, etc., which are not casually seen by ordinary people, nor can they be bought with money. There is also a need for pathways, and there is a need for circles.
If you are not a person in the circle, no matter how much money you take, people may not take care of you. And if you don't know how to do it, you won't understand the value of that kind of thing. In this regard, Tang Wanjun's door is bound to be wider than his own.
So Tang Yan's engagement dinner, he really planned to go there.
