Chapter Twenty-Three: I'll Order a Dish
After a while, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper came to the two 'handsome men and beautiful women'.
The owner of the shop is in his forties, with a slightly fat belly, a wide chin, and a round face. A standard businessman's look. He respectfully held a recipe made of 'red satin silk', which was rare and valuable in prehistoric continents, in his hand. With a signature smile on his face, he slowly walked in front of the two young people.
"Two guest officers, the dishes that can be made in the small shop are basically all on this 'recipe'. Please take your pick!" said the shopkeeper in a warm tone, respectfully.
Li Erbao didn't look at them, so he grabbed the book with one hand, which was considered a 'valuable recipe' in the prehistoric continent. Then he looked at it casually. After flipping through a few pages, he pouted and threw the recipe on the table with a very unscrupulous gesture.
Then he frowned slightly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "This is the recipe of your store?"
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper looked at each other for a while, not knowing how to answer.
"Hey, it's too low-grade," Li Erbao raised his eyebrows and sighed.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened and he said in astonishment: "Aren't you joking, guest? The dishes of our shop are very famous in this town! No one who has come to our restaurant for their food has not praised the delicious taste of our restaurant." ”
"Oh......! Who are you complimenting you?" Li Erbao's eyes widened, his face lengthened, pretending to be an exaggerated and curious expression, and asked with a bit of sarcasm and embarrassment.
"This ......" The shopkeeper showed an embarrassed expression, and he didn't know how to deal with Li Erbao's sarcastic words for a while.
"Alright, alright, you are doing business in such a backwooded place. It is inevitable that you have not seen anything in the world. I shouldn't blame you. Well, I'll teach you how to cook a few dishes. How is it?" Li Erbao opened the delicate 'paper fan' again, and slowly shook it gently. While holding his head high, he said with a lot of spirit.
"It's not that we brag. As long as you can tell the price, you can afford it. There is no dish that we can't make. I'm afraid of you...... Hehe!" The shopkeeper in distress replied.
Li Erbao smiled slightly, and slightly stopped the swaying of the beautiful paper fan in his hand. Unhurriedly, he took out a gold coin that was glittering and worth a lot of money from his pocket. Placed on the table, he smiled contemptuously and asked, "Is it enough?"
In an instant, the eyes of the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper both straightened at the same time. Then the shopkeeper, who was slightly bloated and looked a little flustered, carefully held the gold coin in the palm of his hand with his trembling hands. I watched it carefully.
After a while, he showed irrepressible joy and smile, and said in an excited voice: "Oh, guest officer! We really don't know the nobles! Tell me! What do you want us to cook, how do you cook it? Just give us orders, and we will make it for you at once." After saying that, he continued to maintain his signature smile, and after carefully wiping the gold coin twice with the corner of his clothes, he put it in his pocket.
In fact, it wasn't just the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper who looked straight at each other. Fan Xiaoqi, the 'big beauty' next to him, was also a little dizzy. He was secretly regretting in his heart at this time, why didn't he accept this gold coin just now, which seemed to be worth more?
Li Erbao saw that the two 'soil buns' were messed up by himself, stupid and embarrassed. The corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a hint of sadistic satisfaction. Then he continued to gently shake the paper fan, which exuded a faint bookish fragrance and was expensive. said arrogantly: "Hehe, the dish I said may not be made by everyone......"
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper stared at each other for a while. Then, the shopkeeper replied tentatively: "Is there anything you can't do?
"Okay, then I'll tell you about it!" Li Erbao continued to shake the paper fan and smiled lightly. Then he said: "The first dish is very simple, it is called 'fried shredded tofu'. ”
"Fried tofu shredded ?......" shop Xiao Er repeated it and waited for his further explanation.
"Take two pieces of tofu and cut them into shreds with a knife, as thin as a human hair. I don't want anything coarse. Li Erbao then explained.
"It's as thin as a hair, this ......," the shopkeeper said with a bitter expression.
"In addition, when stir-frying, not only ordinary ingredients should be used, but also maltose, red lady vinegar, Damaha meat sauce, Shengdis Mountain mushroom king monosodium glutamate, sika deer wine, Shenlong Mountain life slices. After frying, it should be done so that the outside is charred and the inside is tender, smooth and refreshing. In particular, there must be no shredded tofu that has been fried. If I can't do the above things, I won't eat it!" Li Erbao explained casually.
"Ah......" The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper opened their mouths wide at the same time, looking surprised and dazed.
"How, can you make it?" asked Li Erbao pretending not to care.
"This, this...... Well, the prince will move on to the second course!" The shopkeeper didn't dare to answer directly whether he could or couldn't, so he had to listen to him and continue to finish the other dishes. Hopefully, the next dish he asked for would be a little simpler.
"The second dish is called 'Tulong Pig's Blood Waterfall'. Li Erbao also ignored the expressions of the two, and continued casually.
"Tulong Pig Blood Waterfall ......" The shopkeeper looked stunned, and said the three words "Blood Waterfall" very seriously.
"It's also very simple. Add an appropriate amount of starch to the fresh soil dragon pig's blood. Then add some common seasonings, as well as sea crystal salt, cremo pine oil, ice vinegar, spiced coconut water, and char siu sauce. After stirring well, put it on the stove and grill it while pouring out the blood of the earth dragon. The moment it is poured out, it should be solidified into a waterfall. Li Erbao's paper fan shook lightly and continued to explain calmly.
"Solidified into a waterfall...... The shopkeeper's two eyes widened as much as copper bells, and the shopkeeper's mouth was wider than half of his face.
"Yes, you must all know that the blood of the dragon pig is inherently sticky, right? After adding starch to it, if it encounters the right amount of high temperature, it will condense into a solid form. However, it should be noted that its solidification temperature is very narrow. A little higher, it will scorch the blood of the earth dragon pig, and a little lower it will be difficult to solidify. So, you have to get the heat right. Li Erbao explained it to them in detail again.
After he finished speaking, he deliberately looked at the expressions of the two 'soil buns'. It turned out that a large cold sweat had broken out on the forehead of the shop owner. And the shopkeeper actually started to tremble!
"What about the third course?" asked the shopkeeper, swallowing the saliva that remained in his mouth, in a slightly hoarse voice. His expression at this time was as if a prisoner was preparing to be tortured.
Li Erbao smiled and then said, "This third dish ......"
"The third course, I'll talk about it!" Fan Xiaoqi, who was watching the rise next to him, couldn't help but interject.
Fan Xiaoqi was still there just now, pretending to be shy and sitting silent, while thinking about how to deal with Li Erbao's next offensive. However, when he heard that Li Erbao ordered two such high-end and fun dishes, he finally couldn't help but be excited and put aside his serious business!
So, Li Erbao turned his head and looked at Fan Xiaoqi with a smile. Then, he pinched his beautiful little face and said, "Okay! Order three dishes, you can come, my beauty!"
"Thank you, Brother Erbao. Fan Xiaoqi's soft voice pretended to be more beautiful than that of a woman. He paused for a moment, then added, "The name of the third course is 'Loyal Liver and Righteous Gall Soup'. ”
"Loyal liver and gallbladder soup!" The shopkeeper followed Fan Xiaoqi in a sluggish and slightly excited tone, and read the 'name of the dish' that he had never heard of.
"It is made from abalone, crucian carp, carp, yellow croaker, grass carp, herring, silver carp, bream heart and liver. And the hearts and livers of pigs, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, snakes, and deer. It is served with black sesame oil, caviar, caviar, Tianshan oil, strawberry, glutinous rice, honey and some other commonly used ingredients. "Fan Xiaoqi danced his red and sexy lips and continued to explain.
"So many ......," the shopkeeper exclaimed in a trembling voice.
"I'm not done yet...... Fan Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, and then explained in a delicate voice: "After getting all these materials." Then cut each heart and liver of the fish with a sharp knife and cut it with a hundred cuts. Cut each heart and liver of the other animals with three hundred knives. Each knife has to be cut, and only a little skin is left, and the heart or liver is about to be cut apart. After cutting, put the heart, liver and ingredients in a boiling pot and boil. It should be cooked very flavorful and crunchy. But at the same time, we can't let these hearts and livers loosen in the slightest. If you don't have that, I won't eat a bite. ”
After hearing this, the shopkeeper was already paralyzed, and sat on a Taishi chair next to him.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly helped him touch his chest and beat his back. Eagerly asked, "How's it going?" boss. You can still stand it, right?"
The shopkeeper gasped for breath with dull eyes, waved his plump palm, and said weakly: "It's okay, it's okay!"
Fan Xiaoqi and Li Erbao couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the two 'soil buns' looking so embarrassed, and then snickered.
"How about it, two, can you do it?" Li Erbao mocked the two of them in a sarcastic voice.
After bowing his head and gasping for breath and being silent for a moment, the shopkeeper suddenly shook his spirits, and replaced his face with a decadent face that was firm and passionate. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who said we can't do it! Only you can't think of it, there's nothing we can't do." ”
"Okay, okay, I want you to say that to me! So, then, I'm going to talk about the fourth course. It's called 'Flying Cucumber'!"
"What......! Cucumber ......" The shopkeeper, who had just plucked up his courage, was a little timid at this time.
