Chapter 211: Golden Wind and Jade Dew Soup
The words and deeds of this young man surnamed Luo exude a charm that is as warm as the sun, making it difficult to refuse his proposal.
Sun Yan couldn't help pouting, brother, I met you to see you so handsome and lawless of the same sex, but there was no joy at all, you should not be born in this world with a little white face.
In front of everyone's eyes, coupled with Chen Qinglian's constant coercion and temptation, Sun Yan had no choice but to nod and agree. At the same time, he reluctantly responded: "My name is Luo Yan." β
"Well, tonight is really a great event for our Bell and Drum Tower. Tao Wei laughed, his voice was loud, and he commanded: "It's almost time, go and prepare immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
Beside him, a group of waiters got busy and began to clean the tables and chairs on the top floor, and after a while, the place by the window on the west side of the top floor was vacant, and then an antique round table was moved and placed in the place of the window.
"Well, that window. β
Sun Yan had noticed before that the window directly west of the top floor was sealed, and a large lock was also attached. This made him feel rather strange, because the window directly to the west, which was the best place to view the inland sea of Tatsukaze City, was sealed and locked for some reason.
Led by Tao Wei, Sun Yan and Luo Chen sat at opposite ends of the round table, each with a set of utensils in front of themβa wooden stick, a spoon, and a small bowl.
The stick was about half a foot long, transparent in texture, made of some kind of wood, and the spoon and small bowl were porcelain, pale blue, paper-thin, crisp and pleasant, and very valuable.
Standing in front of the round table, Tao Wei, the current boss of the Bell and Drum Tower, restrained his smile, looked serious, and said: "The first boss of this Bell and Drum Tower is Mr. Chen Xian of the Chen family. In the Third Snow River War, Mr. Chen Xian unfortunately died, and although he left a cooking method for the three rare dishes he created during his lifetime, few people know how to taste them. β
Speaking of this, Tao Wei paused and said excitedly: "Tonight, two young talents, Mr. Luo and Mr. Luo, have cut ice and taken lotus, and successfully challenged the first rare dish of our store - [Curling Fire Lotus]. Now, they will challenge the second gem of our store, the Golden Wind Jade Soup, and I sincerely hope that the two of you will be able to taste this rare dish and fulfill my wish for nearly 100 years. β
At this time, the guests of the entire bell and drum tower also poured to the top floor, blocking the entire top floor with blocked water, and everyone stretched their necks one by one, unwilling to miss every detail that followed.
For these foodies, this is a rare event in their lives, and if they miss it, it will be a regret in their lives.
"Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup?"
Only then did Sun Yan know the name of the second delicacy, and he had some expectations in his heart, [Curling Fire Lotus] was already so peculiar, what should be the treasure of the second town store of the Bell and Drum Tower?
On the other side, Luo Chen was always smiling, the golden halo in his eyes was circulating, and his body revealed a dazzling light, like a prince who was meeting his courtiers.
Standing up straight, Tao Wei raised his hand and signaled: "Open the west window!"
The waiters on both sides walked quickly to the window, took out the key to open the big lock, and opened the dusty west window.
Creak...... , The window opened, and the moonlight immediately poured in, spilling on the table, like a cascading silver veil, draped over the shoulders of Sun Yan and Luo Chen.
Outside the window, you can see the inland seas to the west of the city, which glisten in the moonlight, like pieces of crystal clear jade.
The west window on the top floor is indeed the best place to enjoy the inland sea view.
In the window, two outstanding teenagers sat opposite the table, one with brilliant blonde hair and the other with black hair like ink, as if a pair of friends were partying, climbing high and looking into the distance, enjoying the beautiful scenery at night.
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Chen Qinglian opened his beautiful eyes and muttered, "Wow, beautiful." β
Around, the people present were also shocked by this scenery and let out bursts of admiration.
At this time, Tao Wei smiled and said: "Two gentlemen, the second treasure of our bell and drum tower, the golden wind jade soup, is sunk in these inland seas, and the first step to taste this rare delicacy is to find out the golden wind and jade soup." Please!"
"What?"
"Huh?"
Sun Yan and Luo Chen showed a look of surprise at the same time, and asked them to go to the inland sea to find a dish, wouldn't that be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack? Even if they fished for 100 years, they might not be able to find it.
It was the first time for the diners present to encounter such a grand event, and when they heard Tao Wei say this, everyone looked at each other and felt incredible.
Looking up at Tao Wei, Sun Yan barely squeezed out a smile and asked, "Boss Tao, what do you mean, this [Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup] is in these inland seas?"
"Not bad. β
Tao Wei seemed to expect Sun Yan to ask this question, nodded and smiled: "But it's not a [Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup], our special chef in the Bell and Drum Tower will make a [Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup] every 10 years, sink into these inland seas, and calculate, in the past 200 years, there are a total of 18 [Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup]." β
"Eighteen Ways [Golden Wind and Jade Dew Soup] ......"
Sun Yan's expression was indifferent, these inland sea groups in Chenfeng City, the small ones are about a few kilometers in diameter, and the large ones are more than dozens of kilometers in diameter, not to mention 18 dishes, even if they are 18,000 dishes, scattered into these inland seas, it is almost impossible to salvage them by manpower alone.
At this time, I only heard Tao Wei say again: "The inland sea of Chenfeng City, its topography is leaky, and they communicate with each other, and some [Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup] may also enter the leaking rock formations, so after our bell and drum tower sank into these rare delicacies, we don't know where they are now." β
Sun Yan and Luo Chen were silent, and the two knew that since Tao Wei said so, there must be a way to determine the location.
The guests present were also quiet, listening to Tao Wei's next words, not wanting to miss a word.
Seeing that everyone's attention was concentrated, Tao Wei cleared his throat, pointed out the window, and said, "Confirm the location of [Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup], when Mr. Chu Chen Xian only left one sentence - when the moonlight can cover the sea at night, you can find the location of [Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup]." β
Looking at the antique clock on the wall, Tao Wei smiled: "After so many years of observation, when the moon is in the middle of the sky, it can just shine on all the inland seas, and there are still 30 minutes before this time." Please note that this time period is only 10 minutes. β
"When the moon cage is in the sea, there are only 10 minutes to look for the trace of the [Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup]?" Sun Yan was deeply curious.
Luo Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled: "Is 10 minutes of searching time?" There is a lot of gossip about Mr. Chenxian, but in my opinion, Mr. Chenxian is a person with high aspirations. The golden wind and jade dew meet, taken from the ancient poems of the Chinese people on the earth, the artistic conception is far-reaching, presumably Mr. Chen Xian must have some regrets during his lifetime, so as to sigh the beauty of the world, the passing years. β
These words, insightful and thought-provoking, silenced everyone and resonated.
Next to him, Chen Qinglian looked at Luo Chen's perfect face, a strange light flashed in his beautiful eyes, about what happened in front of Chen Xian, only a few members of the Chen family knew about it. Luo Chen is just a teenager, but he can say it, which makes her feel incredible.
Looking at Luo Chen, who was smiling freely, Sun Yan secretly sighed, such an outstanding person, among the friends he knew, only the mysterious Belon could be compared.
At this time, Luo Chen's eyes came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, this kind of challenge is very interesting, why don't we add some more color to make this challenge more interesting?"
"Uh, Caitou?" Sun Yan was stunned, not knowing why.
Luo Chen nodded slightly, and said, "Mr. Luo's knife work just now to cut the ice and take the lotus is amazing, and I am amazed. At least two-thirds of them have changed, and I still can't understand them, so I'm curious. Why don't you take the opportunity to challenge the [Golden Wind Jade Soup], if I am lucky enough to win, Mr. Luo will tell me the trick of knife work, how about it?"
"Oh, what if you lose?" Sun Yan asked calmly.
Luo Chen smiled silently, took out something from his pocket, and put it on the table, "This is my most important item, it is precious to me like life, if I lose, I will give it to Mr. Luo." β
Although the tone was understated, as if he was talking about an inconsequential thing, Luo Chen had a unique charm, and since he said that this thing was precious like life, he couldn't help but be disbelieved by others.
The item on the table, which appeared to be a hand, was a deep dark red, palm-sized, boxy, about 2 centimeters thick, and its texture was neither gold, silver, nor wood, but it was made of what kind of material. One side of the transept is smooth and neat, and it seems to have been cut in half with a sharp weapon, probably because it is too old and the pattern on it is blurred.
There was no shortage of well-informed people present, but none of them recognized what it was, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
Grandma is a bear, you say it's a precious item of life, then it must be true? Maybe it's a scrap?
Sun Yan scolded secretly in his heart, and after thinking about it, he was able to take the lotus with one knife just now, but he actually relied on the true meaning of the martial arts he had mastered, and it did not have much to do with the so-called knife work. Now his identity is Chen Qinglian's bodyguard, and it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches, and any change may affect the mission performed.
Thinking of this, Sun Yan nodded and said, "Okay! Since Brother Luo, your precious life, it is equivalent to the value of my knife work." β
Chen Qinglian almost laughed out loud when he heard it on the side, this Luo Chen's age was obviously older than Sun Yan, and the latter wanted to call the other party "brother", which was really a temper that refused to suffer.
Luo Chen smiled and nodded, and immediately chatted with Sun Yantian, talking about the anecdotes encountered during Gu Fengxing's journey. It was like chatting with a friend, without any restraint, and his breadth of knowledge was far less than that of a young man, talking eloquently, showing romance, which made the eyes of many women present shine, and they couldn't wait to eat Luo Chen alive.
In comparison, Sun Yan pales in comparison, since he was a child, his footprints have not even left Luoshan City, how can he be extensive. In addition, his current identity can't be revealed, and he doesn't dare to say much about himself, so he can only occasionally echo a few sentences, and be an honest listener.
