Chapter 18: Appetizers

The tender green fairy tofu was cut into pieces, and the cooled oil and spicy seeds and garlic paste covered the surface of most of the demigod tofu, and the tofu cubes also trembled with the steps of the four eunuchs holding the vegetable plate.

However, there are also special people who test the dishes for poison first, and then use silver needles to pierce the tofu for further drug testing.

Wait until it's okay to submit it. It has the same texture as ordinary tofu blocks, but it is also as layered as stratus rocks, reflecting in the sunlight.

"The leaves themselves are made up of 30% pectin, which is why they have this jelly-like texture, but he omitted the process of tofu, which may be related to the addition of preserved eggs and white tofu." Qin Yuelou's lips moved slightly, thinking in his heart.

He is simulating the taste and texture of this fairy tofu, and he can't say that he is inseparable from ten, but can only say that he has copied and pasted all the beards and tails.

The first to taste the dish is the queen mother, the queen mother looks to be in her fifties, although the figure is uncontrollable and some of the old people are bloated, but the grace is very comparable, and the clothes on her body are also quite luxurious.

"Although it is tofu, it is as soft and tender as turtle jelly, and its color is green and elegant, and it also has a sense of vitality." The Queen Mother commented, then put it in her mouth and chewed it elegantly.

Although the lips and teeth are fragrant with herbs and trees, under the action of the spicy seeds and garlic, the spicy ones are quite appetizing, but what is hidden at the deepest level is a faint bitterness.

Guo Houcong chewed the fairy tofu in his mouth, but it was bitter but vague

"Ignited" his past memories. He himself is a wandering dragon species, but this is only at best, and it is actually an illegitimate child to the worst of it.

's mother has no name until she dies, and the queen mother has never given herself much good face, although she doesn't say it, but the diaphragm in her heart should naturally be glimpsed.

It seems that there is no estrangement between the two, but the embarrassing situation is not enough for outsiders, for the sake of royal majesty, they can only be a pair of superficially filial stepmother stepsons.

It's like in the old mansion of a wealthy family, only the illegitimate child can manage things, and the wealthy lady naturally responds, but she can only maintain it like that, after all, except for this illegitimate child, nothing else can take over.

The so-called clean officials are difficult to decide family affairs, and the royal family is naturally not exempt from vulgarity. It's just that the more Guo Houcong chews, the more he can recall the bitter memories of the past, since he was a child, he was said to be a fatherless child, and he was ridiculed, and his mother was often chewed behind his back.

After this bitterness, it is the stimulation of the taste buds by garlic and spicy oil, the so-called spicy is not the taste, but a stimulating touch.

The pepper itself is produced to prevent other animals from eating it, but birds peck at the pepper and are not affected by the capsaicin.

So birds not only spread pepper seeds, but also improve them, so the natural pair of peppers is birds.

It's just that in order to improve the aspect of eating, human beings don't even let go of chili peppers. The spicy and garlic spicy seeds also stimulate Guo Houcong's taste buds.

He thought of his mother's hard work in hoping for her son Jackie Chan, if he didn't fight for it, he would be beaten in the palm of his hand with rattan, or he would be spanked by his mother after being naughty, and that spicy feeling can not be forgotten to this day.

And the spicy taste in his mouth also deepened the impression of his childhood, but he couldn't forget it, after beating himself, his mother would silently weep and drug himself, and asked himself if it hurt.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, what competent parent doesn't want their children to grow up and get ahead?

Getting ahead is not to glorify the lintel or glorify the ancestors, but to make life better, and competent parents want their children to live happily.

It's just that you are blindly happy and happy, but what if you have a hard time in the future? Competent parents will inevitably have some ideas for the future.

Guo Houcong recalled that he had eaten, so he also ate it with oily spicy seeds and garlic, although it was not so wolf-like, but it did damage his manners.

The Queen Mother wanted to mention a few words, but the memories of the past also rose in her heart, for the Queen Mother, it was a commoner who was favored to enter the palace, but she also lived between intrigue and deceit, and lived in fear every day, in addition to this, she had to be careful, and she should also avoid saying too many mistakes, every sentence had to be considered repeatedly, looking back, how many opponents of the palace fight could not even leave a whole corpse when they died, not to mention those who died because of themselves, when they were young, they were not a simple person, But once you fall into the palace bucket dye vat, you must grow rapidly, but when you get old, you will also be kind and soft-hearted again, and you will think of the past from time to time, although the status is the same now, but the past is really too tired, and most of the bitterness comes from being frightened.

The prince of Qi over there also told the allusion of fairy tofu, and introduced it more, and even told the nutritional value of this dish.

"Cool and detoxifying, often taking it is good for the liver, this taste of comfortable tea rhyme makes people feel calm, its color is like jadeite is quite interesting to watch, such a good craft, I really can't imagine it from the hands of a child." Prince Qi seemed to be in a happy mood.

Guo Houcong and the Queen Mother, who listened to the fairy tofu allusions, couldn't help but think deeply. This cold dish is good, but what if there is a famine?

We still have to pay attention to people's livelihood. If there is no justice in the world, if those corrupt officials and corrupt officials are powerful, if the local ruffians and hooligans infringe on the person, if the officials of the government and the yamen are in collusion with each other, the people who are full of fat brains only care about themselves and ignore the people, the weak students have lost the way up, and if the children have lost the opportunity to get an education... There are too many, there are days and nights in this world, but the sun is so dazzling, and there is always a gloom that makes people feel indignant after hearing about it.

"Remember the bittersweet and sweet, guide people to be kind, let this powerful person think more about people's livelihood, Hong Fuxing is a good boy." Qin Yuelou felt the will of the chef in the fairy tofu and knew the original intention of Hong Fuxing.

"Not bad." Qin Yuelou nodded slightly. The great master of Pudu Cihang ate a piece of fairy tofu, wiped his mouth elegantly and said: "Although it is just jelly, it has the taste of preserved eggs and tofu at the same time, and it is excellent to cool off, not bad." But this great master glanced at Qin Yuelou, Qin Yuelou felt something, and also followed the line of sight.

What you see is a 10,000-legged centipede that is large enough to cover the sky and the sun, this centipede has a carapace showing a red golden glow, although it is a centipede, but it also has the shape of a dragon, but this centipede dragon sits in the middle of a Buddha.

Although the Buddha has a golden body, he can still do the top Buddha hand with one hand, and in the hand of the top Buddha, there is a monk with black hair and black robes.

Buddha or Demon Buddha or Demon Buddha, that's One Zen. The four eyes were facing each other, the cook's eyes were sharp, and the dream was myriad, but behind him was the illusory shadow of a golden-winged Dapeng bird, but it was only aimed at the great master of Pudu Cihang.

"It turned out to be you, Pudu Cihang, although you put on a vest, I still recognized you." Qin Yuelou sneered,

"Since I've met you, it's time to make a break." The cook sneered, but the Great Master of Pudu Cihang shook his head, and he no longer paid attention to Qin Yuelou, but instead paid attention to the spicy cabbage presented to the table.

Although the cabbage still retains its original appearance, it has become soft, and the top layer of conspicuous and bright spicy red is not flaked, but like a strip, dipped in a little marinade, dug out of the clay pot, put into the plate, and presented to the table one by one.

The white plate of red cabbage, eye-catching, just looking at it, you can feel a spicy taste to stimulate the taste buds, can't help secreting saliva, the index finger moves, although the plate is casual, but there are some casual ingenuity, this Lei Yinxin is also a powerful chef.

Although fairy tofu has a good appearance and taste, it can't smell as solid as this spicy cabbage.

"If this spicy cabbage is served earlier, it will be red, and it will be very appetizing to look at." As he spoke, Prince Qi took a pair of chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Hmm." Qi Wang Ye chewed, raised his eyebrows, and then pinched a few more chopsticks,

"The spicy taste is not spicy, and crisp and refreshing, and there is a little fruity sweetness as a sweet aftertaste and spicy, although the fairy tofu is also spicy with garlic paste, but it is not as spicy as this pickled taste, spicy cabbage I haven't eaten, but like this I still want to eat... It's rare. Previously, Lei Yinxin chopped pears and apples into pieces, mixed them into chili paste and evenly spread them on the Chinese cabbage, and the purpose of adding these two fruits was to improve the formation of ginger, garlic and chili peppers

"Net" spicy. This kind of spicy is that only spicy is left in the palate, but when two fruits are added, it becomes crisp and sweet.

That is, it turns into sweet and spicy. Seeing that Pudu Cihang had died down, Qin Yuelou only snorted coldly and did not continue to demonstrate, but he also began to simulate the taste of the spicy cabbage.

"Okay, wonderful, if Hong Fuxing has made a feeling of molecular cuisine with his magical powers, then the pickled taste of this spicy cabbage is the pinnacle of wonder." Qin Yuelou couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

Everything is too much, and the time of pickling and flavoring is accurate to milliseconds, a little more heavy, a little less light, but it is not really in line with the balance of timing.

Just like the sentence "eat while it's hot, it's not delicious when it's cold", some foods and drinks have a tasting period, just like opening the chilled fat house happy water in the scorching heat of 42 degrees and 7 degrees, and drinking the first sip of the stimulating sweetness full of bubbles, and satisfyingly burping with the heat in the body, this is the best tasting period for the fat house happy water.

Once the tasting period has passed, most of the satisfaction is lost when eating and drinking. But Rao is so, and it also gives this spicy cabbage a prefix to the extraordinary dish, its appreciation period is always locked in the inside of the ingredients, and it is the appreciation period before it deteriorates, which makes people want to eat it, but it is not the magic of adding taboo plants and then becoming addicted.

What is really delicious is that you don't get tired of eating, even if you eat too much. This spicy cabbage is not tired of eating.

It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to make, no matter how much you love noodles, you will always choose to eat steamed buns one day, right?

This spicy cabbage is not spicy, but the sweetness is appropriate to neutralize the spicy, if the spicy of fairy tofu lies in the seasoning attached to the surface, then the spicy cabbage is immersed in the cabbage leaves.

But this spicy also evokes the past in the heart of Prince Qi. As a king with a different surname, the prince of Qi, who is over fifty years old, has not done evil things, once the family newly accepted a little concubine who did not know what to do, the concubine sprinkled on the dinner table, and broke the luminous cup given by the previous emperor, although it was just a cup, but it could not stand up to be a royal gift, if someone said this, then through the heart of the person to fan the flames, that unintentional loss will also turn into a heartfelt mistake.

So he ordered the concubine to be buried alive, so that the matter could be characterized as a concubine's crime and should be killed, because it was the concubine who broke it, wasn't it?

But does this concubine deserve death? Maybe she is spicy and boring, but does she really deserve death?

Is this the evil of Prince Qi again? Lei Yin's heart was not clear, but the prince of Qi was eating this spicy cabbage, and the spicy was like salt sprinkled on the wound, seeping into the flesh.

I couldn't help but think of the place where the little concubine was buried, and the flowers that bloomed were bright and red, just like the spicy cabbage in front of her.

There was a ghost in his heart, and the prince of Qi shuddered, but the movements in his hands still didn't stop. I sweated profusely, but it was not spicy, but cold.

Guo Houcong doesn't have so much evil, but the Queen Mother is also like Prince Qi, drenched in cold sweat, who will she think of?

Only she knows in her own heart. Pudu Cihang also took a bite of spicy cabbage, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but give rise to a burst of laughter.

"If you want me to say, this spicy cabbage is better than the fairy tofu, I don't know how much, I think Lei Yinxin should continue to participate in tomorrow's food war." Pudu Cihang said.

"National teacher, the rules of the food war can be discussed after all the dishes have been evaluated." Guo Houcong reminded Pudu Cihang.

This is the rule of the Golden Jade Dining War, only comment on the dishes when eating, but after all the dishes are tasted, one person from the table and the inside of the food world will be eliminated.

However, Qin Yuelou also figured out the deep meaning of this food war.

"The reason why Guo Yuewu wants to hold this food war is that he still wants to use this good and evil ends to spur the powerful people, to inspire the heart of loving the people like sons with goodness, and to arouse the reason of the people with evil, which is a bit interesting." Qin Yuelou thought in his heart, and he was suddenly enlightened.

He also wanted to make a cold cut. Then, when he thought about it, he really did it, completely ignoring where he was and where he was.

Although there are many stoves in the food battlefield, Qin Yuelou is in full view of everyone, and in the middle of the banquet, another stove is started.

Reaching out and grabbing a piece of dream, the stove rose, and the dream turned into a kitchenware that matched Qin Yuelou's mind.

With a breath of fire, the stove caught fire, and the pot of kitchen utensils was placed in the stove, which was also full

"Clear water". Then he filled the flames with the red dust threads that had been torn off earlier. What dishes does Qin Yuelou want to cook?
