Biyou Palace is very large, and the three of them naturally will not eat in the Heavenly Master's study, and they have their own special hall.

Qi Xuansu saw several female crowns of Biyou Palace floating into the restaurant like clouds, holding various cups and plates, and placing them one by one on a round table.

In fact, this is a typical ancient ritual meal system, but with Zhang Yuelu's craftsmanship, it is unlikely to be one for one person, in Qi Xuansu's view, Zhang Yuelu's cooking is like throwing dice, it is completely random, it is likely that there are three people and three tastes. Therefore, the Taoist priests of Biyou Palace had to temporarily arrange a round table.

However, this round table is still a bit large, and the various cups and plates only occupy a small corner of the huge round table, but fortunately, there are only three people dining.

After purifying his hands, the Heavenly Master naturally sat on the main seat, Qi Xuansu sat on his left hand, and Zhang Yuelu sat on his right hand, enjoying himself.

The Celestial Master waved his hand to the female crowns standing around: "Yuelu has not done much, so I won't leave you together." ”

Because the Heavenly Master treats the people around him very kindly on weekdays, these female crowns are not so honestly afraid, and they all smiled and turned away.

It was precisely because of the kindness and kindness of the Heavenly Master that Qi Xuansu's tension was greatly eliminated.

It's just that Zhang Yuelu's craftsmanship gave Qi Xuansu a little foreboding.

Zhang Yuelu got up and served dinner to the two.

It looks like rice, but it is mixed with some lotus seeds, red dates, and longan.

Qi Xuansu's face did not change, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Lotus seed soup." Zhang Yuelu said as a matter of course.

The Celestial Master's eyebrows moved imperceptibly, but he didn't speak.

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I thought it was a new-style lotus seed cake. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yuelu raised her eyebrows.

Qi Xuansu said bluntly: "There is less water." ”

The Heavenly Master picked up the bowl and said with a smile: "The lotus seed cake is also good, there must always be a staple food when eating." ”

Zhang Yuelu corrected again: "Soup." ”

One old and one young nodded, no longer arguing.

Qi Xuansu tasted it, at least it was sweet, not salty, it was already good.

Zhang Yuelu took another glass cup and didn't rush to open it: "Tianyuan, don't cheat with your supernatural powers, guess what kind of dish this is?" ”

Qi Xuansu twitched his nose: "There is the taste of river fresh, and the aroma of rice wine, it can't be drunk shrimp, right?" ”

"Clever!" Zhang Yuelu lifted the lid of the lamp, and then saw a number of river shrimp scrambling out of the glass jar, carrying the rice wine all over their bodies, and fled for their lives.

Qi Xuansu clearly saw that the Heavenly Master's eyebrows moved again.

Because the dish of drunken shrimp is to eat live shrimp, and the glass cup is opaque, Zhang Yuelu didn't expect such a scene, and suddenly he was a little in a hurry.

Qi Xuansu had to help catch shrimp, and at the same time secretly slandered himself in his heart, his vision was quite high, just fry a green vegetable, and he wanted to play tricks, so he messed up.

The two celestials shot together, and a few river shrimps naturally couldn't escape the sky net, and they were soon stuffed back into the glass cup, but this drunken shrimp was inedible.

Qi Xuansu sighed and said, "Let the shrimp get drunk for a while." ”

The Heavenly Master, who had already picked up the chopsticks, smiled lightly: "It's already good to do it like this for the first time, and next time you pay attention to the amount of alcohol." What else? ”

Zhang Yuelu glanced at Qi Xuansu, and pulled over another plate: "Clear water cabbage." ”

Without waiting for Qi Xuansu to speak, the Heavenly Master who had eaten it couldn't help but say: "This dish is not easy to make, you have to boil the meat of ham, chicken and duck with water for twelve hours, and then use the meat puree chopped from lean meat to absorb impurities, and so on, and in the end, only a bowl of clear soup remains." Divide this bowl of clear soup into two parts, one part is used to steam the cabbage, and the other part is poured on the steamed cabbage, and this set of processes will take two days and two nights to say the least. Yuelu, how did you manage to do it in such a short time? ”

Zhang Yuelu was surprised: "Do you want to boil soup? ”

She didn't have much time, so she just looked at the name and thought it was boiled cabbage.

"It turned out to be a new practice." The Heavenly Master was very popular.

Qi Xuansu stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a small cabbage: "It's really veritable clear water, it's all white, there is no meat, and there is not even salt." ”

Zhang Yuelu glanced at Qi Xuansu again.

Qi Xuansu put the cabbage on the lotus seed cake without changing the color: "It's good with rice." ”

In fact, with Zhang Yuelu's swordsmanship, knife work is not difficult at all, even if it can't be carved, it is not far away. The so-called color, fragrance, taste, this "color" word is actually quite good, Zhang Yuelu will not do the thing of treating salt as sugar, but the bad is bad in the word "self-study", Zhang Yuelu does not have much time, can not focus on this, can only read a few pages of recipes in his spare time, do not seek to understand, take it for granted, naturally worse.

Zhang Yuelu was too lazy to correct it, and even broke the jar a little: "I learned this dish from the book." ”

Qi Xuansu secretly screamed in his heart.

I haven't learned to walk yet, so I want to run. How much do you despise cooking? Although I can't say anything close to the Tao, it's not something that can be done in three or two days. But fortunately, Zhang Yuelu is not arrogant enough to create his own dishes.

Zhang Yuelu introduced: "The main ingredients of this dish are tofu and ham, first cut a ham, dig 24 round holes, cut the tofu into 24 small balls and put them into the holes, tie the ham and then steam, and wait until it is steamed, the umami of the ham has all reached the tofu, but the ham is discarded and not eaten. This steamed tofu also has an interesting name, called 'Twenty-four Bridges Bright Moon Night'. ”

Qi Xuansu complained: "If you dig thirty-six round holes and put thirty-six tofu balls, is it called 'Thirty-six Tiangang Shen Beidou'?" ”

The Heavenly Master smiled, still cheering: "The tender tofu is rotten at your fingertips, if it weren't for the Heavenly Deer's cultivation, how could it be cut into twenty-four small round balls?" The fine and difficult of it, it is no less than the rice grain lettering, carving the core for the boat, if it is cut into squares, it is easy to be easy, how can there be a square-shaped bright moon in the world? That's a big mess of the scenery. There are many cooks in this world, but there are very few chefs who have been cultivated by heaven and man, so this dish is very rare. ”

The Heavenly Master said so, and Qi Xuansu could only nod in agreement.

However, in Qi Xuansu's opinion, the quality of this dish is not bad, but the taste is difficult to say. Originally, Qi Xuansu still hoped for this dish, after all, there is such a thing as ham, no matter how you do it, it will not be difficult to eat, but the food in this book is "ham is discarded and not eaten", only eating tofu, then Qi Xuansu is very pessimistic.

Qi Xuansu looked at the Heavenly Master again, and found that the Heavenly Master had no intention of moving the chopsticks, so he could only take the initiative to stretch out the chopsticks, clip a tofu ball, and put it in his mouth.

Then Qi Xuansu didn't speak for a long time.

He had to admit that this was the most successful dish Zhang Yuelu had made, but the story in the book couldn't be taken seriously after all, the tofu tasted good, but it was salty, and even the saltiness had overwhelmed the taste of the ham, leaving it salty and bitter.

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu expectantly: "How is it?" ”

Qi Xuansu swallowed the tofu in his mouth without changing his face, nodded and said, "Very good, you can taste it yourself." ”

Zhang Yuelu is such a smart person, where can he be fooled, waved his hand and said: "This is made for you, I won't be too late to eat it when you finish eating, since you think it's good, then eat more." ”

Qi Xuansu never thought that he would be countered by Zhang Yuelu, or how to say that he would harm others and end up harming himself, so he could only eat a few more tofu balls.

To be honest, it's like eating salt.

But Qi Xuansu still had to pretend to be nothing, which was really a big hardship.

Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "Since you like to eat, then this 'Twenty-four Bridge Bright Moon Night' will be yours." ”

Qi Xuansu swallowed a tofu ball, and said, "How can this work, the Heavenly Master and his old man haven't tasted it yet......"

Before he could finish speaking, the Heavenly Master had already said, "People are old and don't like these new tricks, I think this lotus seed cake is good." ”

Qi Xuansu took a deep breath.

He knew that the Heavenly Master was the elder, he could eat if he wanted to, and if he didn't want to eat, he wouldn't eat, and in the end it would have to fall on his head.

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to say: "There is one last dish, it's not too late to eat it after reading it." ”

Zhang Yuelu is quite self-aware, and he already understands what level he is from the results of the first few dishes, so the last dish is already a broken jar: "Four dishes and one soup, and finally pearl jade and white jade soup." ”

Qi Xuansu's face changed suddenly.

The Celestial Master said with great interest: "This name is rich and magnificent. ”

The Celestial Master is an immortal, but the immortal can't know everything about the world, not to mention that the Celestial Master has already opened the valley as early as the age of twenty, and only eats occasionally, usually once a year, such as the annual Laba porridge, so naturally he will not pay attention to the things that are eaten.

But Qi Xuansu is different, Wufu doesn't pay attention to Bigu, and he is from a poor background, he knows the suffering of the world, and naturally he also knows what this so-called "pearl jade white jade soup" is, it also has a name, hybrid leftover soup.

To put it bluntly, cabbage and spinach leaves are "jade", tofu is "white jade", and pot rice grains are "pearls".

Zhang Yuelu lifted the lid, blue and white, the sale was unsatisfactory, as for the taste, it was something that the poor people ate, and naturally it would not be much better.

The Heavenly Master is old and refined, and he just knows what is going on at a glance: "The second virtue of the Taishang Dao Ancestor is frugality, this dish, as well as the previous 'clear water cabbage', corresponds to the virtue of frugality, good, very good." Xuansu, this is a piece of Yuelu's heart, you don't want to waste it. ”

Zhang Yuelu served a bowl to Qi Xuansu very cooperatively: "Tianyuan, you are a martial artist, and you have a lot of food." You just said that cabbage with rice is just right, and you like 'Twenty-four Bridges Bright Moon Night', then 'Clear Water Cabbage', 'Twenty-four Bridges Bright Moon Night', and 'Pearl Jade White Jade Soup' are all yours. ”

Qi Xuansu smiled reluctantly: "That's really good." ”

After eating a bowl of lotus seed cake, the Heavenly Master got up and left the table, leaving a table of delicious food for Qi Xuansu.

Zhang Yuelu put her hands on her cheeks and watched Qi Xuansu eat intently.

Qi Xuansu sighed, how could he bear to refuse Zhang Yuelu's "kindness"?
