Chapter 39: Braised Shark Fin

"I think Huainan roast duck is better."

"Ever since I was a child, I've never eaten such a novel food." Xiang Zhirou was the first to say.

Qin Xiuwen also took the opportunity to nod and said, "Yes, not to mention that Brother Gu Xian added the name of Huainan to the roast duck, which can also be regarded as giving me Huainan fame, and the old man also voted for Huainan roast duck." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Tenglong's face changed suddenly.

How can it be?

Sun Yuchu's royal Buddha jumping over the wall is a famous dish, how can he lose to a little-known roast duck?

Do you still have vision?

It's a pity that he only dares to slander in his heart. On the surface, he didn't dare to show the slightest anger.

"It's more atmospheric for Buddha to jump over the wall." Liu Wenzhou Road.

"I agree with Brother Liu's point of view, after all, the royal Buddha jumping over the wall is a royal meal, and it has long been famous. This Huainan roast duck, although it tastes good and the way to eat it is novel, it has no corresponding reputation. Zheng Ximeng said.

"Old man, I think this roast duck is good." Mr. Drunkard said.

The only ones left were Wang Tiexuan and King Jing who did not speak, and Huainan roast duck in the field had already accounted for three votes.

In other words, if Wang Tiexuan also voted for Huainan roast duck, then King Jing's opinion would not matter.

This... It's not a smart move.

Wang Tiexuan is especially good at poetry, although he is a civil servant, he also dreamed of one day going into battle to kill the enemy.

But that doesn't mean he lacks political wisdom.

"I choose the royal Buddha to jump over the wall."

As soon as these words came out, the situation in the field was instantly balanced, and the crucial vote was in the hands of King Jing.

King Jing looked at the two dishes in front of him, and it was a little difficult to choose for a while.

In fact, both dishes taste good.

Huainan roast duck is even better in terms of novelty.

But... His lips moved slightly, and he slowly spat out a few words:

"Master Sun's Buddha jumping over the wall is still doing well."

As soon as these words came out, everyone instantly understood the meaning.

Qin Xiuwen sighed in his heart, and secretly said that His Royal Highness King Jing still saw the past after all, and voted for the Buddha to jump over the wall.

It's just that in this way, Brother Gu Xian is only afraid that he will feel uncomfortable.

"In this round, Tenglong Restaurant wins."

Hearing this, Zhao Tenglong and others were overjoyed.

Only Sun Huaimin frowned even tighter.

Although he has never eaten Huainan roast duck, the chef has been doing it for a long time, and sometimes he doesn't have to eat it, just by looking at it, he can guess the taste of the dishes.

Judging from his years of experience, the taste of Huainan roast duck should be comparable to that of the royal Buddha jumping over the wall.

However, the ingredients used in the royal Buddha jumping over the wall are particularly precious, and ordinary people can't afford to eat them at all.

Huainan roast duck, the main ingredient is only one duck.

In terms of ingredients, Buddha jumping over the wall is a little weaker.

What's more, Huainan roast duck is unique in eating and quite innovative.

So in this round, if he is allowed to choose, eighty percent will choose Huainan roast duck.

And Your Highness...

After thinking about the reason, Sun Huaimin was both grateful and ashamed.

I am grateful because he is an imperial chef, and if he speaks well, he is an official, and if he doesn't speak well, he is a cook.

His Royal Highness still remembers the friendship of the year and is willing to help him. How could he not be moved?

It's a shame that I've been working hard and studying the kitchen for decades.

I thought that if I was not the first in Daqian, I should be among the top five.

Unexpectedly, after all, it was sitting in the well and watching the sky.

Not to mention the entire Daqian, just one Huainan, there are people who can beat themselves.

In this round, my grandson is a person, and he will not win.

On the high platform, Gu Beichuan also frowned when he heard this.

Today's competition, there are only three rounds in total.

Now let Tenglong Restaurant win the first round, which means that they have to let one chase two to win.

This is really not good news for Fei Hung Restaurant.

But... Thinking of the second course, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He has full confidence in this dish!

"Let's take a second course." On the high platform, the Huainan roast duck and the royal Buddha jumping over the wall have been removed, and King Jing spoke.

The first to serve the food is still Tenglong Restaurant, which is still the same plate and the same white cloth.

It's just that the fragrance wafting out under the white cloth is very different from the Buddha jumping over the wall.

But it's just as delicious and appetizing.

When the white cloth is lifted, there is a full-length gold-colored soup bowl with a lid.

After lifting the lid, the umami smell that was ten times richer than before wafted out and penetrated into everyone's nostrils.

The talents who were close to the audience even made movements of swallowing saliva one after another.

This dish has only one color - yellow!

To be precise, it is apricot yellow and translucent.

It is another famous dish of the palace - yellow braised shark fin.

This is made by using old hens, yellow shark fin and duck as the main ingredients, adding a variety of precious fresh ingredients, and stewing them together.

This dish is not like the royal Buddha jumping over the wall, only the royal family has it.

There are restaurants in all over Kyoto.

But the only one who can really make it into a hot and authentic one, and meet the three major standards of apricot yellow translucent, soft and rotten wing meat, and mellow taste, is the only one who can make it into a hot and authentic one!

And this, like the royal Buddha jumping over the wall, is also one of the housekeeping skills of the imperial chef Sun Huaimin!

Being able to take it out is enough to show that he attaches great importance to this competition.

After eating, everyone praised each other, and even King Jing nodded without leaving a trace.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Zhirou's brows furrowed slightly.

If you can't come up with a dish that is far better than braised shark fin, I'm afraid that the ending will be the same as the previous round.

No, I have to do something.

I saw her quietly leaning into Xiang Qingfeng's ear and whispering:

"Brother Jingwang, in this round of competition, you can't look at Sun Yuchu's face and do biased things again."

When Xiang Qingfeng was said like this, he couldn't help but blush, which was quite unnatural.

Xindao patronized and remembered his childhood, but forgot the occasion.

If today's events reach my father's ears, I am afraid that I will say that I have no king's wind again.

Each family has its own troubles, although Xiang Qingfeng is the king of Jing, he also has troubles.

He was born to a noble concubine, and his mother's family was also quite powerful, so he was a strong contender for the throne.

It's a pity that he is honest by nature and shy and polite.

This is a good thing, but it is not always true in the eyes of the king.

Today's saint, Emperor Renxuan, is an out-and-out emperor.

The greatest wish is to uphold the will of the first emperor to go north and destroy the Great Yan in the north and the Great Liang in the west.

Regain the territory laid down by Emperor Taizu Gao!

Therefore, Emperor Renxuan's requirements for his heirs should be brave and powerful, and they should have the ability to command the three armies.

In this way, after his death, he can inherit the great cause of going north, and at the worst of all, he can also hold the territory.

And Emperor Renxuan's evaluation of him was: This son is cowardly and hard, and it is difficult to achieve great things.

Therefore, he was crowned king very early and was forced to go to Huainan to become a vassal.

In order to keep him away from Kyoto, so as not to pose a threat to his two elder brothers.

But... Xiang Qingfeng was not convinced.

He believes that it is not his fault to observe etiquette and etiquette and have a gentlemanly style.

I don't feel that I am cowardly and rigid, and it is difficult to achieve great things.
