"One person can't cook, can't choose vegetables, doesn't know that there are meat and vegetables, and don't know the order of dishes. Cooking is like practicing a sword, if you don't know anything, you don't know how to do it, so the food you make is naturally not as beautiful and delicious as you think......" Li Zhou Qinheng stir-fried the meat in the iron pot, and then added it to the plate.

Xu Fuquan stood respectfully and watched Li Zhou Qinheng's every move, while Tang Zhengya looked at the stove next to her, which was already full of rows of freshly baked stir-fried vegetables, and the taste was so fragrant that she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"I didn't expect Mr. to be a chef god!" Tang Zhengya praised again and again.

"The word chef god is not used correctly, it is far from the real chef god." Li Zhou Qinheng smiled lightly, "It's just that I have traveled all over the world and seen a lot of other people's cooking processes and steps, and then studied and practiced them, so I naturally slowly found some ways." ”

"I want to hear about it!" Tang Zhengya replied.

"Let's talk while we eat." Li Zhou Qinheng took out the food and put it in the small courtyard and had already set up a small wooden table, Li Zhou Qinheng took out a pot of wine from his bamboo box, opened the wine stopper, and a faint fragrance of fruit wine immediately filled the entire courtyard.

Xu Fuquan was stunned: "Brother Li actually carries wine with him." ”

Li Zhou Qinheng said with a smile: "Walking in the end of the world, if you don't have a little wine to accompany you, you will feel lonely on the way." It's rare to meet the two of you today, so I'll share it with you. ”

"Brother Li, what is this wine?" Xu Fuquan asked.

"It was given to me by Prince Shen of Southwest City, saying that he personally brewed it, and I was fortunate enough to ask for a cup, so I thought it was delicious, so I asked for a few jars." Li Zhou Qin Heng explained.

"Open the rice, open the rice." Tang Zhengya took out the dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw the jar of wine on the table, her eyes lit up, "Mr. also brought wine, so you're polite!" ”

Li Zhou Qin Heng was puzzled: "Can the girl drink?" It won't get in the way, right? ”

The corners of Tang Zhengya's mouth rose slightly: "It's not in the way, sir, please rest assured." ”

"Brother Li said that the way of food is very particular about it, and I want to hear Brother Li's preaching to solve my doubts." Xu Fuquan poured a glass for each of them, and his tone was respectful.

Li Zhou Qinheng drank a glass of fruit wine, seemed to be in a good mood, and began to talk eloquently: "I don't know if you have heard of the heavenly banquet in the imperial capital. ”

Both shook their heads.

"This banquet is rare once in ten years, and it can only be seen on the birthday of the emperor and the queen, or the birth of the prince, and the victory of the three armies. At the beginning of the banquet, there will be a line first, 'vegetarian steamed embroidery flower and fruit high', first with vegetarian vegetables and steamed noodles to make a group of Penglai fairy-like singers and dancers, and then with fragrant rounds, real oranges, pomegranates, oranges, goose pears, milk pears, hawthorns, flowers and papayas, these eight kinds of rare and exotic fruits are placed on it. ”

Xu Fuquan nodded while listening: "This dish must be a strange dish that is rare to see in the world, and the taste is naturally excellent."

"If Brother Li just thinks so, then he would underestimate this feast." Li Zhou Qinheng waved his hand and said, "This 'Su Steamed Embroidery Sound Flower and Fruit High' came out first, because the color is gorgeous and dazzling, but it is not for people to eat, and the participants are just watching." After seeing enough, there will be 7749 boxes of 'wisps of medicinal incense': there are fragrant papaya, pepper plum, fragrant vine flowers, fragrant cherries, perilla persimmon incense, fragrant daylily whisk, fragrant grapes, licorice flowers, brain flowers, licorice flowers, cinnabar balls, woody cloves, water borneol, gentleman, shrinking sand flowers, official osmanthus flowers, olive flowers. ”

Tang Zhengya knew a lot about medicinal herbs, and she was not unfamiliar with these names, so she drank a bowl of fruit wine and asked, "These things can also be cooked?" ”

"Naturally not. These 7749 boxes of 'wisps of medicinal incense' are just to make the whole heavenly banquet full of the fragrance of medicine and flowers. Li Zhou Qinheng drank another glass of peach blossom wine, "Then there are twelve products of 'carved nectar fried', 'preserved eight lines', 'eight plates of hanging hands' for appetizers, and then the main banquet, first fifteen glasses of wine, each with two dishes, meaning pairs." After eating these fifteen lamps, I am about full, but the wine banquet is not over yet, so there are still seven kinds of food, ten times of persuading wine and fruits, ten flavors of cooking and persuading wine, and ten twenty points of food. This feast will last all night. This is really an eight-character proverb that gathers the esophagus of the world. ”

"Then sir, why is there a six-character proverb in the esophagus!" Tang Zhengyan asked.

These six-character proverbs correspond to shape, color, fragrance, taste, nourishment, and picture, and this banquet not only uses these six-character proverbs in the dishes, but also the layout of the whole banquet from beginning to end. And what Xu Gongzi presented before, from the first word 'shape', has been a failure... ......" Li Zhou Qinheng glanced at Xu Fuquan.

Tang Zhengyan giggled: "Mr. Li has said so much, just to pave the way for this last sentence." ”

"Hahaha." Li Zhou Qinheng looked at Xu Fuquan and said puzzledly, "Brother Xu, why are you ashamed?" I didn't expect you, a famous executioner, to be affected by what I said about not being delicious to cook. ”

"Shh Tang Zhengyan even made a silence, "Mr. recognized the wrong person, I only have Xu Gongzi in this courtyard, but there are no executioners in Xuanwu Pavilion." ”

"Oh, oh, in the next abrupt situation, I punished myself with three cups." Li Zhou Qinheng took the bowl and drank it all, poured it again, and raised his glass to signal to Xu Fuquan.

Xu Fuquan waved his hand and said: "Mr. misunderstood the meaning of the miracle doctor, I listened to what Brother Li said, I don't know if Brother Li can teach me to cook well." ”

"That's fine, of course, but I'm going to leave tomorrow, and I don't know how long it will take to see you again." Li Zhou Qinheng took out a booklet from the bamboo box and handed it to Xu Fuquan, "So I borrow you a copy of the cooking secrets I wrote when I traveled all over the world, as long as Brother Xu can read it in December of the year, you can also become a chef." ”

"Thank you! What if you could only see the twelve? Xu Fuquan asked.

Li Zhou Qinheng frowned and thought for a while: "Then it's no problem to make a bowl of Yangchun beef noodles." ”

After three rounds of drinking, the food on the table had been swept away, and Tang Zhengya fell asleep on the wooden table. When the moon was in the air, Li Zhou Qinheng drank the last sip of wine and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the last time we met was in the Biandi Capital City, at that time you made a big fuss in the Imperial Capital City, but unfortunately I couldn't win you that time." ”

"At that time, I was also on a mission, and if I didn't complete it, I might not survive." Xu Fuquan sighed.

Li Zhou Qinheng put down his wine glass: "I have some doubts in my heart, I don't know if Brother Xu can answer it for me." ”

"I'm still in the Xuanwu Pavilion." Xu Fuquan answered in advance without waiting for Li Zhou and Qin Heng to ask a question, "It's just that in the first three months, in Tiannan City, Xuanwu Pavilion had a earth-shaking change, and he almost died there. ”

Li Zhou Qinheng frowned slightly: "Oh? Seeing you here is a good change. ”

"Xuanwu Pavilion has a new successor pavilion master." Xu Fuquan said slowly.

Li Zhou Qinheng was stunned: "Who is it?" Could it be you, Brother Li? ”

"It's Xiuzhe." Xu Fuquan replied.

Li Zhou Qinheng held his forehead with his hand: "It seems that I want to be too simple, this is a bad change at all." ”

Xu Fuquan smiled: "Brother Li doesn't seem to like Xiuzhe. ”

"I said that I have traveled all over the world, and I have naturally met many wicked people along the way, and they have suffered from the reasons why they have become wicked people. But Brother Li's good brother has no bitterness, and he kills people for the sake of carrying out his mission. Li Zhou Qin Heng snorted coldly, "And he is definitely the most annoying person in the world, just like a piece of stinky stuff, you have to take a detour when you see it." ”

"Brother Li said that there are some things that I also agree, but I believe that Xiuzhe can take charge of the Xuanwu Pavilion well, after all, I asked him to sit in this position." Xu Fuquan pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked directly at Li Zhou and Qin Heng, "Moreover, all this is only temporary, I believe that he will eventually lead Xuanwu Pavilion to the sun." ”
