438, dream bubbles and crystal balls

"Xuanyuan faction, five flavor people."

"Yangyuan Valley, Hua Zhenxing."

This question and answer were all filled with divine thoughts, and they introduced each other's situation. In fact, Hua Zhenxing had long heard of the Xuanyuan faction, and Dan Zicheng, the son of the Xuanyuan faction's protector Dan Xiasheng, worshiped under the Meiye Shimen, and was Shi Shuangcheng's senior brother.

The relationship between the Xuanyuan Sect and the Three Dreams Sect is very close, and everything advances and retreats together. When the master of the Mei League first built the Weishui Zhiwei Building into the liaison headquarters of the Kunlun League, the Xuanyuan faction elder Wuweichang was the first head chef.

The "rotating store manager" of Zhiwei Building must have at least eight realms of cultivation, and they are basically masters of major factions, such as Yu Cangwu. And the "rotating chef" of Zhiwei Building also has the customary qualification requirements, not only to cook well, but also to be good at alchemy.

After the head of the Mei League moved the liaison headquarters of the Kunlun League from Weishui to Wucheng, Wuwei Chang also came over from time to time to be the head chef for a period of time, and he was also one of the veterans of the Kunlun League, and he liked the place of Zhiweilou very much.

Wuwei is a smiling fat man, not young, but he looks like he is in his early forties. The secret method of the Xuanyuan sect has been good at health preservation since ancient times, and its effect on rejuvenation is actually no less than that of the Yuan cultivation technique.

It's just that the requirements for cultivating the Xuanyuan Secret Method are much higher than those for the Yuan Cultivation Technique, and a specific environment is also required. Wuwei Chang already has seven realms of cultivation, so as far as he is concerned, there is actually no need to cultivate the Yuan Cultivation Technique.

For Dacheng monks, the main thing to describe is to look at the state of mind, and the inheritance of the Yuan Cultivation Technique is of course very useful to the Xuanyuan Sect, so there is no need to say more.

Hua Zhenxing saw that Wuwei was long, and unconsciously remembered Fan Dack, the head of the R&D department of Huanxiang Industry.

If the big shell also has long hair and combs a ball head, and then leaves a short beard along the chin, the appearance is seven points similar to the five flavors, and it can even be regarded as a young version of the five flavors.

A fat uncle has long hair and combs his balls, which looks quite individual, because Wuwei is a Taoist priest, if he inserts a hairpin, his hairstyle will become a Taoist bun, and he is a layman's attire at the moment.

"My patriarch, Mr. Yang, has been bothering you in Wucheng Zhiwei Building for so long, and I've caused you trouble!" This is Hua Zhenxing's second sentence.

Wuwei Chang said with a smile: "It's really troublesome to meet a guest like him." ”

Hua Zhenxing didn't feel easy to accept these words, so he only asked cautiously: "Mr. Yang didn't do anything excessive, right?" ”

Wuweichang asked rhetorically: "Once he ordered a dish called Feilu Baixue, have you heard of it?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I just heard Yu Daxia say yesterday that his old man ordered eleven plates, saying that it was not enjoyable to eat only one plate, so he added ten more plates, presumably because the chef's craftsmanship is too good!" ”

Wuwei laughed out loud: "Don't you know what happened before checkout?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I really don't know, Yu Daxia didn't say it." ”

Wuweichang: "I was called out by him and taught a lesson in front of everyone. There was also a divine thought in the words, telling what happened at that time-

Yang Tehong finished eating eleven plates of flying reed white snow, and then slapped the table again and said, "Waiter!" ”

The waiter thought he was going to settle the bill, so he walked over quickly and said, "Have you eaten well today?" ”

Yang Tehong glared: "I didn't eat well!" This flying reed white snow is simply doing it blindly, fooling the devil? Call the chef over and I'm going to talk to him. ”

If Hua Zhenxing was on the sidelines, he would feel that he didn't even look at it, and this old man was too arrogant and unreasonable! In the eyes of other employees and guests, I guess this is also the way it looks.

The suspect didn't do well in the dish, and you said it after the first bite? After eating one plate, I ordered ten plates, and all eleven plates were eaten, and then I slapped the table and called the chef, what kind of thing is this?

Wuwei Chang was in the back kitchen at the time, and he was clear about the movement in front of him, he was really self-contained, and he actually came out with a smile and asked: "I am the head chef of this restaurant, may I ask the old man, where is this dish not to your taste?" ”

Yang Tehong: "It's not that it's not in line with my old man's taste, but what you're doing is fundamentally wrong!" ”

Wuwei Chang: "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Tehong: "You made it from farmed crucian carp, right?" The original recipe of this dish should be made with wild sea bass from the river. ”

Wuweichang was taken aback at the time, and quickly explained: "It seems that you are always a connoisseur, the reason why I use crucian carp is to make the soup whiter and purer, the fish jelly is more beautiful, and the taste is actually okay." ”

Yang Tehong said unceremoniously: "You fat man, there is a problem with aesthetics!" ”

Wuwei let out a long sigh, and was stunned for a few seconds before he said: "What do you always think?" ”

Yang Tehong: "This dish is called Feilu Baixue, are you because I haven't seen this scene, or can't I appreciate this artistic conception?" When it snows in winter, the reeds are withered but the reeds are still there, and they will fly up with the wind.

The reed flower is not a snowflake, and if it has a pure white background, it will be slightly yellow in color. The authentic way to make this dish is to use the river bass in winter, and the cooking itself is nothing special.

The flesh of the sea bass is frothed, and the layer of skin that sticks to the fish skin is slightly darker, and the fish jelly is like dancing with reeds in the snowflakes in the sky, and the taste is also the best.

I ordered eleven plates of flying reed white snow, but I didn't get a single plate of authentic food! Tell me yourself, should you come out and admit your mistake to my old man? This is clearly fake and shoddy, only the snow does not see the flying reed! ”

Some restaurant employees next to him wanted to refute, but they were stopped by Wuweichang, who actually apologized: "This old gentleman, I'm really sorry, I didn't let you taste the most authentic flying reed snow today."

But the season is not right now, and you can't get the kind of wild sea bass you want now, so you have to wait until winter. You can always make an appointment and come back then, and this meal will be free for you today! ”

Old man Yang rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm eating the overlord meal?" I'm just telling you how to make this dish, don't fool around and forget it when you get used to it! Waiter, checkout. ”

Yang Tehong checked out and left, Wuwei Chang kept laughing and sent him out of the door, and said that he was welcome to come again next time.

Hearing this, Hua Zhenxing couldn't help but rub his brows, and sighed that Old Man Yang was too capable of the show, and Wuwei Chang's temper was also really good, he asked with a wry smile: "How much does the flying reed white snow in Wucheng Zhiwei Building sell for?" ”

Five flavors long: "Twenty-eight." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "This is Mr. Yang's mistake, his so-called authentic practice, you can't eat it for twenty-eight yuan, but you are not angry at all?" ”

Wuwei Chang: "What's there to be angry about?" He didn't eat the overlord meal, he just told the chef what to do with the original recipe of this dish, obviously he was an expert, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

It was the first time he slapped the table after eating and called the chef out to theorize. Later, I called several times, and every time I went, and then even if he didn't, I had to go out and say hello. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "It's really difficult for you, his old man's taste is not easy to serve." ”

Wuwei Chang smiled again: "That's not it, Feilu Baixue is not a dish." Once his old man ordered a dish, and later Zhiweilou had to delete the dish from the menu. ”

Hua Zhenxing was shocked: "There is such a thing? ”

Wuwei Chang explained what happened again. The name of that dish is Dream Bubbles, and it is a vegetarian dish made with several kinds of dried mushrooms, and when it is served, there is only a shallow layer of soup on the plate, and a colorful bubble floats on it.

This bubble is made of raw egg white, only the size of a walnut, and the colorless transparent film refracts various light and shadow colors in the air.

People who don't use chopsticks so well can also use a soup spoon to scoop up the bubbles, and when you bite into the mouth, the bubbles will burst, with a delicious soup fragrance.

This dish can be said to have a lot of flavor and taste, but it feels like you haven't eaten anything, because it's just a bubble made of egg whites, and it's almost nothing.

This dish looks simple, but the craftsmanship is by no means simple, the egg white is raw, so the bubbles made are in the form of a transparent film, and they can't be easily broken, and they have to be processed with the monk's divine sense.

Old man Yang ordered a plate first, and of course he was not full after eating, no one could eat enough of this dish. This time, he didn't ask for ten plates at once, like ordering Feilu Baixue, but ordered another plate, and after eating, he ordered another plate......

No one has calculated how many plates this "dream bubble" needs to be fed? Such a boring thing, but Yang Tehong seemed to have made up his mind to try, and ordered fifty-one dishes in a row.

Did Old Man Yang finally eat enough, of course not, how can fifty-one plates of dream bubbles be enough? Later, the waiter came to him and whispered apologetically: "Old man, I'm really sorry, we took the bill." ”

Zhiweilou is not open 24 hours a day, let's just say lunch, order from 11 o'clock at noon, take orders at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and waiters and chefs also need to rest.

There is a two-hour break in the afternoon, and then the order starts at 5 p.m. and continues until 9 p.m. After receiving the order, the customer can continue to eat, but he can no longer order.

Old man Yang finally put down his chopsticks, and this time he didn't call the chef, but shouted: "Waiter, call the store manager over!" ”

Yu Cangwu slipped over: "Old man, I am the store manager." We did take the bill, and we won't continue until 5 p.m. ”

Yang Tehong glanced at him up and down a few times: "You are the store manager?" I thought you were a cleaner! ”

Yu Cangwu: "I am the store manager and cleaner. ”

At this time, Wuwei Chang was not called Zilai, and his apron and chef's hat had not yet been taken off, so he asked with a smile: "Old man, what is your opinion this time?" ”

Yang Tehong: "The dish I just ordered, the gimmick is not small, what is it called a dream bubble, can I ask if it can be drunk, or can it be eaten, or can it satisfy hunger?" ”

Yu Cangwu and Wuwei didn't answer, but the waiter couldn't help but say: "The essence of this dish is its meaning, the purpose is not to satisfy hunger or drink. ”

Old man Yang glared at him: "Is it me ordering or you ordering, what purpose do I need you to be verbose?" Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and it should be viewed in this way. That's what you want to say, right?

Then you don't make the right dish, what about the dew and electricity? Shouldn't we make that poor layer of soup on the plate into droplets, and then make an electrified device in the bubble to get some electric sparks out?

I'm afraid you don't know, this kind of thing is found in toy stores, and people make it out of glass. Do you make such a dish to amuse the guests, or do you want the guests to eat?

This dish is the most clumsy formalism and symbolism I have ever seen! Such a vulgar deconstruction, what kind of moral do you talk about, implying that you are a big-headed ghost!

Do you want to make a bubble with egg whites, do you want to show that the dish you make contains Zen power, or do you want the guests to feel that after eating this dish, they can have an epiphany after two mouths?

If this is a dish that is satirical and mysterious in a realistic way, I can still have some recognition......" Old man Yang unceremoniously reprimanded several monks in front of him, and finally did not forget to settle the bill, and left with his hands behind his back.

That night, Shi Ye, the owner of Zhiwei Building, that is, Mei Yeshi, the leader of the Kunlun League, received a phone call, and he seemed to have been scolded by someone. Then, the dish of Dream Bubble was deleted from the recipe of Zhiweilou.

The matter of changing the recipe was known to the five flavors, and he was also present when Old Man Yang said that. But the matter of the scolding of the master of the Mei League, Wuweichang only vaguely heard about it, and did not say it explicitly when he introduced Hua Zhenxing, but only hinted.

After listening to it, Hua Zhenxing didn't know what to say, so he had to ask: "How many dishes are on the recipe of Zhiweilou?" A dish like Dream Bubble shouldn't be ordered for ordinary guests, right? ”

Wuwei Chang smiled bitterly: "Director Hua guessed correctly, Zhiweilou has two recipes, and the first recipe has seventy-two dishes, which anyone can order; The second cookbook has twenty-seven dishes and is usually not served to regular guests.

Mr. Yang came more often, and the waiter was also cooked, seeing that he ordered a different dish every time, and later showed him the second recipe.

The monks would also come to the Zhiwei Building to dine, and the Kunlun League would also feast on the masters of various factions in the Zhiwei Building, and the second recipe was originally for them. Of the 99 dishes in total, fifteen are vegan, with some in both large and small recipes.

There are many monks in the Kunlun League, and they are vegetarians, and these dishes are also prepared for them. Yang Laodian's dream bubble is a vegetarian dish in a small recipe to entertain Buddhist monks. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "As far as I know, the precepts of vegetarianism are not the same, and the eggs of chickens that cannot hatch are indeed not considered meaty, but some people do not eat them." ”

Five flavors: "It's just a dream bubble, if you don't eat it, you won't eat it." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I mean, bubbles can be made with cold powder!" Zhiweilou can make colorless and transparent fish jelly, and of course, it can also make colorless and transparent cold powder balls.

Wouldn't it be better to try to make the meatballs less dense than the soup, so that it can float on the soup and then try to make it taste good, so that it looks good and tastes good? Why bother making it so fancy and making a film bubble out of egg whites. ”

As soon as he heard that Hua Zhenxing was going to discuss cooking, Wuwei Chang came to his senses, and he frowned and thought: "There should be no problem with using cold powder to make colorless and transparent balls, but the visual effect is different, and there is no colorful light and shadow like soap bubbles." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Ordinary chefs can't do it, can't the chefs of Zhiweilou do it?" Just figure it out!

You can make a fuss about the structure, so that the density of the layer on the surface of the dough is larger than that of the inside, but the whole is still colorless and transparent, and you can have a light refraction effect...... I'm afraid this will require the use of divine consciousness mana to process. ”

Wuwei patted his thigh: "That's right, this method really works!" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Don't just go on one plate, you can have a few more, ten will you succeed?" Ten cold noodles dumplings are in the stomach, and then a few mouthfuls of soup, isn't Mr. Yang full? ”

Wuwei Chang suddenly smiled again: "But in this way, is it a crystal ball or a dream bubble?" What kind of dream bubble can be eaten in one plate? ”

Hua Zhenxing asked rhetorically: "Forgive me for talking too much, is the dish you made a dream bubble?" ”

Wuwei Chang: "This is indeed the truth, so this dish was deleted from the recipe of Zhiweilou." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "So I'll help you make up for it again, and I'll see what the name is." Of course, this is just my suggestion, and it doesn't matter if Zhiwei Loucai doesn't adopt it. ”

Wuwei Chang: "This is also the fate!" This Taoist person still has a bit of face, and he can make the decision to add this dish to it, and he will make it when he goes back this time. Mr. Hua can also try it when he has time.

I also tell you one thing, during this time, the cleaning of the lobby of Zhiwei Building has been replaced, and it is said that the time is three months. If Director Hua wants to enjoy the service of cleaning the table in person by the leader of the Kunlun Alliance, he can take advantage of these three months to go to Zhiwei Building, and if he misses it, he will have no chance. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "What's going on?" ”

Wuwei Chang: "I don't know the inside story, according to the Mei League Master himself, this is to obey the teacher's orders." ”

After Old Man Yang left, the "store manager" of Zhiwei Building was replaced, because Yu Cangwu went to wipe the table in retreat. This was originally a position where the masters of each faction took turns, but the next one was replaced by Mei Yeshi, the leader of the Kunlun League.

The store managers in the town are not all like Yu Cangwu who work as cleaners in the front lobby in person, and they basically stay in the back kitchen or upstairs on weekdays, and there are so many junior disciples from various factions, and they don't need them to do this work.

The most "hard" job of Zhiwei Building is the cleaning of the lobby, which is different from ordinary restaurants.

Usually the hardest thing in the restaurant is the helper in the back kitchen, but the staff of Zhiweilou are all monks, as long as they are not in front of ordinary guests, they can wash all the dishes with a wave of their hands.

Yu Cangwu volunteered to do cleaning in the lobby, and then Mei Yeshi also came to do this work according to his master's orders, and it was likely that he was scolded by his master. But this is just Hua Zhenxing's speculation, and it's not easy to talk nonsense.

Hua Zhenxing: "Is anyone going to order?" ”

Wuwei Chang: "Of course there are people, there are people every day, and the business of Zhiweilou is very good." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I mean Brother Kunlun. ”

Wuwei Chang: "That's not true. ”

Hua Zhenxing smiled: "Then I can't go either!" ”

If it was an ordinary guest who didn't know the inside story, it would be just a Kunlun monk who knew the inside story, and if he had to go to the lobby of Zhiwei Building to order food, and beckon the Mei League Lord to personally wipe the table for himself, it would really be to find fault.

Hua Zhenxing chatted with Wuweichang very closely, and he learned through Wuweichang that in fact, all the employees of Zhiweilou did not have a bad feeling towards Old Man Yang, but regarded his arrival as a daily pleasure.

This time, Old Man Yang didn't go to Zhiweilou to eat, and many people still felt a little lost.

Since the topic can't be avoided by Old Man Yang, Hua Zhenxing mentioned that Old Man Yang has been reading recipes to himself since he was a child, and he laughed so much that he couldn't stop laughing!

Hua Zhenxing mentioned Chunrong Dan again, which amazed Wuwei Chang, he was very interested in this, and also discussed with Hua Zhenxing the possibility of the Xuanyuan faction and the Kunlun League cooperating with Chunrong Dan Center in the future.

Before parting, Hua Zhenxing finally couldn't help but ask: "Dao Chief, may I ask if your common name is Fan?" ”

Wuwei Chang: "Who are you listening to, Shuangcheng that girl?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "No, that's what I guessed." ”

Wuwei Chang: "Which secret method are you cultivating, can you guess this?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Because I know a person named Van Dark, is it a relative of your family?" ”

He introduced Van Darker with his divine thoughts, and Huanxiang Industry has Van Dark's archives, as well as his ancestral home and the names of his parents in the Eastern Kingdom.

Wuwei was surprised when he grew up, Van Darker was really his distant cousin, but he hadn't met before, and I heard that this person had already gone abroad.

This is considered to be a relative, Hua Zhenxing also invited Wuwei Chang to go to a few miles of country to inspect and guide when he has free time, and by the way, he will teach the practice of the younger generations of his family.

Wuwei smiled and nodded in agreement.

With the friendly "demonstration" of Yu Cangwu and Wuweichang, in the next few days, Hua Zhenxing simply became a courtesan in the Kunlun cultivation world, and he had to catch up with the meal every day, and many times there was more than one meal.
