Chapter 118: Questioning
"Tang Gongzi, Master Du, welcome. Li Zhanqi greeted him and said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Li, I've been waiting for you again. Tang Xiaoxiao arched his hand and said in a similar manner.
Du Youzhen on the side also nodded, although he was the garrison of Wujiang Town, but Tang Xiaoxiao was the main one, so he didn't speak.
Tang Gongzi was polite. Li Zhanqi made a gesture of please and said, "Tang Gongzi, please inside." ”
"Hmm. Tang Xiaoxiao responded, walked into the Yellow Crane Tower Restaurant, turned his head to look at Li Zhanqi on the side, and said, "Shopkeeper Li, the Meng Tongyu you mentioned to me last time, is it in the restaurant this time." ”
"In the restaurant, you take you to the private room to rest first, and immediately send someone to find Meng Lingchu. Li Zhanqi replied and said.
Meng Tongyu in Li Zhanqi's mouth is not only the spiritual chef of the Yellow Crane Tower Restaurant, but also the son of Meng Tianxiang, who has always wanted to study the Wujiang puffer fish and reproduce the glory of his father.
Meng Tongyu was already a middle-aged man, tall, handsome, and personable, and after seeing Tang Xiaoxiao, he just arched his hand without being humble or arrogant, and said: "In Xia Meng Tongyu, I have seen Tang Gongzi and Du Shoubei." ”
"Chef Meng Ling is polite, please take a seat. Tang Xiaoxiao made a gesture of please and said.
"Tang Gongzi, I don't know what you are looking for me?" Meng Tongyu asked.
"Well, I've heard that you've been researching the natural cuisine of the Azurite pufferfish, and I happen to need it, so I'd like to ask you to ask, and I hope you don't be surprised. Tang Xiaoxiao said.
"It doesn't matter. If Tang Gongzi has anything to ask, just say it directly. Meng Tongyu said quite generously.
"Before, I heard from Shopkeeper Li that you have made great progress in researching the natural dishes of the blue crystal pufferfish. Tang Xiaoxiao said.
"It's okay. Meng Tongyu responded.
"I don't know, how is this talented dish you studied compared to the Wujiang puffer fish back then?" Tang Xiaoxiao said with a look of curiosity.
"Don't hide it from Tang Gongzi, the Wujiang puffer fish in your mouth. It was the dish developed by my father. Meng Tongyu said.
Heard Meng Tongyu's words. Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he had a little more confidence that Meng Tongyu could make talented dishes, and said: "It turns out that from this origin, Meng Lingchu can be said to inherit his father's business." ”
"Tang Gongzi has won the prize. Meng Tongyu said modestly.
"Chef Meng Ling. There is a reluctant invitation below. I hope you don't get offended when you say it. Tang Xiaodao.
"Tang Gongzi, please speak. ”
"I'd like to see it now. I don't know if it's okay for the talented dish of the blue crystal puffer fish you studied?" Tang Xiaoxiao said expectantly.
"Tang Gongzi, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. That dish has not yet been developed and cannot be sold to guests for consumption. Meng Tongyu shook his head and refused.
"How long will it take for this dish to be developed?" asked Tang Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao's concerned look, and Li Zhanqi on the side also kept giving him a look, Meng Tongyu pondered for a moment and said:
"Three months, within three months, I will definitely be able to develop a gifted dish that enhances my spiritual sense. ”
......
After Yan Nantian finished treating Lin Yue'er, he first prescribed two pairs of medicinal meals to Lin Yue'er, and asked her to order some silver needles, and then returned to the Yue Dining Room to continue preparing ingredients.
The dish that Yan Nantian wants to make is called Tsing Yi pufferfish, which is the imperial dish of the Japanese emperor back then, and Yan Nantian also spent a lot of effort to learn the recipe of this dish.
This dish of Tsing shirt puffer fish requires more than a dozen ingredients, the most important of which is Tsing Yi cuisine, so it is called Tsing shirt pufferfish, but after changing to otherworldly ingredients, the name does have to be changed.
After Yan Nantian thought for a while, he simply named this dish Yipin Fugu, to put it bluntly, it was named after Yipinju Restaurant, presumably Yan Yunhua would be quite happy when he knew about it.
There are also more than a dozen kinds of auxiliary dishes used in this Yipin puffer fish, which are the spirit grass, abalone flower, water jade brown algae, double leaf vegetable, flower stick, and dragon beard fruit......
Of course, one of the most important ingredients is the blue crystal puffer fish of Lake Mingbo Lake, cooking puffer fish is a deep science, and unplaning puffer fish is also very complicated, and there are dozens of processes alone.
The poison in the puffer fish is very widely distributed, in the ovaries, liver, intestines, gallbladder, sperm nests, muscles and skin, and the strength of the toxicity is not different in different parts.
Ovaries and liver are the most toxic, followed by blood sausage contents and skin, and most of the muscles and sperm nests are weak or non-toxic, so when people eat puffer fish meat, they generally only eat the muscle part.
Because puffer fish is highly poisonous, it is necessary to be very careful to divide it, remove the liver, ovaries, eyes, and other poisonous things, and ensure that they are completely destroyed.
It's easy to say, but it's really a very complicated job, even if Yan Nantian's cooking skills are amazing, you have to be very careful to make zuò, a little carelessness will not only make the whole dish fail, but may even poison the person who eats it.
......
In the dining room and the east wing.
Wu Qiankun was sitting in the middle of the room meditating and cultivating, the spirit chef was not only a chef, but also a cultivator, so naturally he couldn't relax his cultivation of spiritual power.
"Knock knock knock......" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, which couldn't help but make Wu Qiankun frown, exhale and slowly stand up, and said:
"Come in. ”
"I've seen Chef Wu Ling. Chen Xue walked into the east wing, saluted Wu Qiankun, and said.
"Steward Chen, why are you here?" Wu Qiankun said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone when he was disturbed from his cultivation.
"Chef Wu Ling, I'm sorry to disturb you. Chen Xue also saw Wu Qiankun's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly said apologetically.
"It's okay, just say anything. Wu Qiankun waved his hand, his face softened a little, and said.
"Chef Wu Ling, I'm here this time to send you an invitation to the tasting banquet. Chen Xue said.
"The invitation to the tasting banquet?Who researched the new dishes?" After hearing Chen Xue's words, Wu Qiankun showed a look of surprise. asked, "Could it be Zhou Xuebin?"
"It's not Zhou Lingchu. Chen Xue shook her head slightly and said.
"Could it be Li Yue'e again, she just failed to develop it, it can't be so fast. Zhou Xuebin muttered to himself.
Seeing that Wu Qiankun didn't guess correctly twice, Chen Xue showed a wry smile and said, "Chef Wu Ling, it was Yan Nantian who developed the new dish. ”
"Oh, it's that kid. Although Wu Qiankun was a little surprised, he was not unacceptable, and said, "What type of dishes did he develop?"
"It's a gifted dish that enhances spiritual sense. Chen Xue said truthfully.
"How is this possible?" said Wu Qiankun with a look of disbelief.
"Chef Wu Ling. This is an invitation for you. Chen Xue said. He handed over the invitation and said.
"Hmph, it's useless for you to give me an invitation, this kid will definitely not be able to cook this dish. Wu Qiankun took the invitation. Said with some disapproval.
"Chef Wu Ling. Are you so sure?" Chen Xue wondered.
"Of course. If I'm not mistaken, this spiritual enhancement dish should be made with aquamarine puffer fish as the main ingredient. Wu Qiankun guessed.
"Not bad. Chen Xue responded.
"Actually, in the early years. Our Yuelaiju Restaurant has also developed talent dishes that increase spiritual awareness, but it has not been successfully developed, and the spirit chef who tasted the dishes was poisoned by the blue crystal pufferfish. Speaking of this, the corners of Wu Qiankun's mouth twitched, as if he remembered some unpleasant memory.
"Wu Lingchu, since the invitation has been delivered, then I will leave first. Chen Xue showed a wry smile, she was specially here to make an invitation, if this dish could not be developed, what was the meaning of the qiē she was making now.
After leaving the east wing, Chen Xue took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, came to the south wing next to her, and knocked on the door: "Knock knock knock......"
"Come in. A woman's voice came from the room.
With a "sque......ak", Chen Xue pushed open the door of the room and saw two women in the room, who were Li Yue'e and Zhao Yue's master and apprentice.
"I've seen Chef Li Ling. Chen Xue bowed and said.
"Manager Chen, what is the matter with you coming to me?" Li Yue'e raised her head, glanced at Chen Xue, and said lightly.
"Chef Li Ling, I'm here to give you an invitation to the tasting banquet. Chen Xue said.
"Whose tasting banquet is Zhou Xuebin or Wu Qiankun?" Li Yue'e snorted lightly and asked.
"It's Yan Nantian. Chen Xue whispered, for fear that this name would be angry with the other party.
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Xue's words, Li Yue'e's face changed, and she reprimanded: "Yan Nantian is just a small cook, why did he hold a tasting banquet, who does he think he is?"
"Master is angry, and Steward Chen is just helping to deliver invitations. Zhao Yue on the side hurriedly reminded, afraid that Li Yue'e would be angry with Chen Xue.
"Hmph, what kind of dishes does Yan Nantian make?" Li Yue'e asked in a cold voice.
"It is a natural dish with the main ingredient of blue crystal puffer fish wei, which can enhance the spiritual sense of the monk. Chen Xue said.
"Wujiang pufferfish!" As soon as Li Yue's first reaction was to mention the dishes that enhanced her spiritual sense, she shook her head and said: "Impossible, this dish has been lost for many years, and it is impossible for Yan Nantian to make it." ”
"Chef Li Ling, Yan Nantian is not cooking Wujiang pufferfish, but his newly created talent dishes. Chen Xue explained.
"Hmph, just with his small cook, he also wants to create his own talented dishes, I really think that no one in the spirit kitchen world can do it. Li Yue'e laughed happily as if she had heard a joke.
Seeing Li Yue's attitude, Chen Xue knew that it was not interesting to continue, so she took out an invitation from her sleeve and said, "Chef Li Ling, please also ask for your subordinates for this invitation to the tasting banquet." ”
"Yue'er, accept the post. Li Yue'e commanded.
"Yes, Master. ”
"Chef Li Ling, don't disturb your work, I'll leave first. Chen Xue sent out the invitation and hurriedly said goodbye.
"Hmm. Li Yue'e replied noncommittally, and instructed Zhao Yue on the side, "Yue'er, you go and send Steward Chen." ”
"Yes. Zhao Yue answered, then sent Chen Xue away, and closed the door smoothly.
"Master, where is this invitation to the tasting banquet placed? Zhao Yue asked.
"Just throw it away!"
Li Yue'e shook her head slightly, revealing a hint of mockery, and said, "Yan Nantian, a small cook, it is impossible to make talent dishes that enhance spiritual sense, it is simply a fantasy!" (To be continued!)
