When Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai walked up to the second floor, in the lobby on the first floor, more than ten eyes had already stared at them and recorded their appearances.

These people, without exception, are all people in the martial arts.

Among them, there are invitees who came to participate in the Young Heroes Association like Sun and Huang, there are seniors who come to Luoyang to watch the excitement, and there are also local snakes...... And the reason why they look at this is because they all understand that the "upstairs" of this non-return building is not so easy to go.

Knowledgeable people know that this is not a building of return, there are three floors.

The lobby on the first floor is the most lively place on weekdays, and you can sit down and eat if you have money, but the price is really not cheap.

The second floor, called "Zhixian Pavilion", has a few private rooms, and a large kitchen set up separately from the back kitchen on the first floor; on weekdays, most of the time, there are no guests on the second floor, because there is a rule when you eat on the second floor—you have to pass the three levels of "one product", "one eye", and "one word" before you can eat the food on the second floor.

If you don't go up, it's fine, but if you go up and don't pass the third level, then I'm sorry; not only will the second floor not entertain you, but you won't want to enter the first floor in the future, and you will be on the "blacklist" of the non-return building. If you dare to come again, you will be blasted out directly when you get to the gate.

You're going to ask why? It's simple, because you don't know what you can do.

The boss who doesn't return to the building hates this kind of self-conscious person the most.

Of course, if you want to find the boss to theorize, you can also, the boss is on the third floor; the third floor is named "Si Yan Ju" by him, the boss himself eats and lives there, you want to "complain", you can go up and talk to the boss yourself.

Anyway, in these years, there are not a few people who go in vertically to complain, come out horizontally and say "very satisfied".

Even if those people with heads and faces in Luoyang City come, they have to abide by the rules of this boss, and there is no exception; that is to say, even if you have money, as long as you can't pass the three levels, you are not worthy of sitting on the second floor, and you have to stay on the first floor obediently.

Over time, the people who go up to "bring humiliation on themselves" are basically gone.

And those distinguished guests who can go up to the second floor are undoubtedly very capable people, such as ...... That Shen Youran can go to the Zhixian Pavilion to eat at will, but most people of his level are very busy, and they don't have time to run here every day, and those who are free may not have so much spare money...... After all, the food on the second floor is more expensive than the food on the first floor.

However, tonight, Sun Yihui and Huang Donglai, two faces who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, actually walked up like this.

No doubt...... The people who saw this scene in the lobby on the first floor were already waiting to see their jokes.

"These two boys must not understand the rules here, or they are just ignorant and fearless, and it probably won't take much effort to be driven down. This is the vast majority of those present...... No, it should be said that all those who noticed them were in the same mind.

This speculation is actually not wrong, however...... The world is unpredictable.

............

"Two guest officers, please sit here for a while, and the villain will go and inform Mr. The one who greeted them led Sun and Huang up to the second floor, left them in a place that resembled the front hall, and then turned around and left.

There were seats and small tables for teacups, but no one served them tea, and there were no fruit plates or snacks or anything like that.

"What's going on?" Looking at the other party's departing figure, Sun Yihuan was a little unhappy at that time, "What's going on with this shop?

When he said this casually, he was really right.

"I don't know. Huang Donglai continued, "But I just took a look around on the first floor, and the food here is really good, maybe we entered that kind of very awesome store, so there are many rules?"

"Hmm......" Sun Yihun thought for a moment, "You say that...... It seems that this is also possible, but if you open the door to do business, can you still set up that kind of rules that prevent others from consuming?"

"It's hard to say. "Huang Donglai is still a martial arts family in the end, even if he hasn't walked much through the rivers and lakes, he still has heard of some strange people and strange things, "I have really heard of the kind of store that sets a threshold for consumption, there is one in the capital, called 'Zhuangyuan Building', the best banquet in it, money can't buy it, you have to exchange it for poetry or pairs, of course...... Poetry must be good, right and absolute, and an illiterate limerick like you will definitely not work. ”

"Get out!" Sun Yihun pouted, "Is it okay for Lao Tzu to go to private school?"

They were chatting like this, when they heard footsteps.

After a while, from the direction of the greeter's departure, a thin figure walked up.

That person, about forty years old, not tall, bearded, white-faced, rosacea, dressed as a literati, hand-cranked paper fan, light steps, as soon as he opened his mouth, he listened to a Shaoxing accent: "Two, contemptible Xue Tui, the word is light, and the person gives the No. 1 'Little Dezu', and has not yet consulted ......"

Maybe he was stimulated by Huang Donglai just now, or maybe he heard the other party's way of greeting the literati was quite compelling, Sun Yihuan was also on a whim, and opened his mouth and said: "It's easy to say, in the next Sun Yihuan, the word 'Yifeng', known as 'Sea King'." ”

Huang Donglai was listening, and almost laughed out loud, but after thinking about it, this is also quite fun, so he also jokingly continued: "Then I am Huang Donglai, the word 'Gongren', and the number 'Xudong Old Immortal'." ”

After Xue Tui listened to the self-introduction of these two illiterate people, he was shocked.

He muttered in his heart, "Where did you come from these two goods? Come up and take us to have fun? I don't know where we are? Or did you come up on purpose to find trouble?"

I think so, but he won't turn his face after just saying two words.

Xue Tui thought for a few seconds, and still said in his slightly arrogant tone: "Okay, since Sun Gongzi and Huang Gongzi have come up, it means that you are also prepared, and I won't say much about the rules......" He paused and glanced at the two of them, "So, who will pass this 'one product' level of the two?"

It must be explained here that the three levels of "one product", "one eye" and "one word" of Zhixian Pavilion do not have to be completed by one person; because a private room here can entertain eight people to eat at the same table, as long as one of these eight people can pass these three levels, then it doesn't matter if you pass the three levels alone, or three people each pass one level, but one thing remains the same...... Each level can only be challenged once, and if you fail, you can't change people and start over, and after failing, all eight of you at the same table will have to be blacklisted in the future.

"Uh......" When they heard this, Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai both had a little aftertaste - it seems that they guessed casually just now and really guessed correctly.

But the matter has come to this point, Brother Sun, who loves face, must not know how to pretend to understand, slap a swollen face and become fat, so after a short hesitation, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and stepped forward: "I'll come!"

"Heh......" Xue Tui sneered in his heart, as if he had read something from the expressions of the two, but he didn't say anything, just calmly continued, "Okay, two of you, please." ”

With that, he turned around leisurely with his hands behind his back and led the two of them down the corridor.

After turning two corners, the three of them came to a rather spacious tearoom, where an old man was already waiting.

Sun Huang and the others just glanced at it, and they knew that the old man was a chef and a famous chef.

Generally speaking, the colors are red, green, green, gold, blue, soap, tea, and white, and there are skirts, helmets, robes, shirts, silks, sprinkles, jackets, and scarves; of course, in fact, there are far more than these eighty-eighty-sixty-four correspondences, and here is just a general list of some of the most common combinations.

Most of these common colors and styles have a certain symbolic meaning, which can not only symbolize status level, professional characteristics, but also sometimes refer to the five elements, directions, or personalities...... These characteristics have a certain inheritance on today's opera stage, but there are not many people who are interested.

Cook, in those years, even if it was a relatively humble line, it was said to wear green, but if the cook was famous and rich, he could also wear red, because the king of the stove belonged to fire.

And go up a gear, the imperial kitchen, there is a special official robe, and a "fire skirt" on the periphery of the official robe works.

If the imperial kitchen stops working one day...... Those who were blasted out don't count...... For the few who can leave the palace safely, the official robe can not be worn, but the fire skirt can be left.

In addition, the waist card used by the cook in the palace can also be brought out.

The waist card is divided into two pieces of yin and yang, two tails of carp are carved on the plate, a tail head is upstream, a tail is upward, two fish are convex such as relief, a concave is such as a cake mold, the fish pattern is raised is the yang card, the sinking is the yin card;

When the cook leaves the palace, you can take the yang card away, and the yin card is directly destroyed; after leaving the palace, this waist card is the status symbol of your imperial chef...... Of course, this operation has to make money, and the eunuchs and guards have to be filial, otherwise they will collect your waist card.

Right now, the old man in front of Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai has a waist card and a fire skirt on his body, so his identity is self-evident.

"Old Yuan Fangzhi has seen two sons. After Xue Tui's brief introduction, Yuan Fangzhi also bowed, and then asked, "I don't know...... What kind of ingredients does Sun Gongzi want to 'taste'?"

When he heard this question, Sun Yihuan realized that the so-called "Yipin" turned out to be to taste food, and he responded: "Then what are the total types to choose?"

"Heh......" Yuan Fangzhi had already changed his eyes with Xue Tui just now, and knew that the two boys in front of him had broken in by mistake, so his attitude of replying was also a little arrogant, "Heaven and earth, mountains and seas, birds and beasts, water, wood, fruit and flowers...... Both. ”

When Sun Yihuan heard this, he said in his heart that this old guy was very arrogant, this was jumping in my face, and he was already a little hungry, so he couldn't help but feel a little evil: "Heh...... That is to say, those who fly in the sky, those who run underground, those who swim in the river, and those who jump in the grass...... It's all right, right?"

This part of him is a word in cross talk, Huang Donglai has also heard it, and knows that as soon as the other party agrees, Brother Sun's next sentence will be "wipe the butt paper".

Huang Donglai felt that raising the bar could not help them eat faster, and in case the other party really took out the butt wiping paper and gave it to Brother Sun, Brother Sun might be subjected to heavy damage, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, okay...... Brother Sun, give me a face, Benima is dead, okay?"

His vulgar words made Xue Tui and Yuan Fangzhi frown, but Sun Yihui really listened: "Okay." ”

Sun Yihuan took another deep breath and paused, before he said to Yuan Fangzhi: "Then I...... Let's choose 'fish'. ”

"Oh?" When Yuan Fangzhi heard the word "fish", his expression was a little subtle, and he smiled immediately, "Heh...... Okay, okay, Childe wait a minute. Then he turned and went to the kitchen.

In less than a cup of tea, Yuan Fangzhi returned with a large tray.

On the tray, there are five small plates, each containing something, each of which at first glance appears to be fish, but it is clear that it is impossible to tell what they are just by looking at them.

Yuan Fangzhi quickly stacked the plate on the table next to Sun Yihuan's seat, and then stood to the side, looked at Sun Yihuan with a smile and said, "Sun Gongzi...... Please. ”

Obviously, in Yuan Fangzhi's heart, at this level, Sun Yihui has already killed himself.

You said that if you choose something like pork, tofu, etc., you may have a chance to guess the origin of the ingredients, or at least guess the method;

Fish? With the knowledge of aquatic products and fishing techniques of that era, even fishermen sometimes couldn't figure out what they were caught...... So, it's arguably the hardest option.

But Yuan Fangzhi never expected it......

"Huh...... That's it?" Sun Yihuan hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, but he just looked at the contents of the five plates, and he already showed a disdainful smile.

At this moment, the smile on Yuan Fangzhi's face disappeared, because he faintly felt that the other party was not like a bluff.

Tuk tuk.

Sun Yihuan lazily picked up the chopsticks, slapped them twice on the table, and then tasted them one by one: "Anglerfish liver, boiled with white wine." Before he finished speaking, his second chopsticks had already gone out, and the aftertaste of the previous fish in his mouth had not disappeared, so he ate the contents of the second plate, "Fugu sashimi, a few drops of soy sauce." Then, there is the third bite, "Dried barracuda, pickled with chili, salt, cooking wine, green onions, ginger and garlic." "The fourth bite," the mackerel, steamed and softened, mixed with tempeh. Finally, when the fifth fish was put in his mouth, he smiled again, "Huh...... As for the last whitebait, it's just a good idea, considering you've cooked five kinds of fish in that short amount of time...... Oh no, dried barracuda should be ready-made...... It's really difficult to cook four kinds of fish, so I don't care about the rough cooking method. ”

Huang Donglai didn't feel any surprise at Brother Sun's pretend, after all, they knew each other.

But Xue Tui and Yuan Fangzhi are stupid......

Xue Tui was stunned there, and said in his heart: "I'm blind? Could it be that they deliberately when they signed up just now?" and so on...... He seems to have said he was 'Aquaman'?"

Yuan Fangzhi was even more miserable, his face was crooked; Sun Yihui not only said what kind of fish and how he took out the "five products", but also said "sashimi", a term he had heard for the first time, as if he knew better than him.

Yuan Fangzhi thought to himself: I was never educated so much when I cooked for the emperor's mother?

But his idea is actually digging into the horns of the bull - what does the emperor know about this? They don't even know how much an egg costs a pound, and they don't know how to make meat out of the water first, of course they can't argue with you; but Sun Yihuan is a person who has been dealing with the fish market for two lifetimes, and you are hypocritical with him? It's like a human swimmer discussing diving with the Atlanteans.

"Hmph...... The tone is not small. Sure enough, Yuan Fangzhi pondered for a while, but he was still not convinced, "It is true that Sun Gongzi guessed what my five-flavor fish was, and passed the 'first product' level, but if you want to say that the old man's whitebait is still 'okay', the old man wants to ask you a question or two." ”

This translates as, "You say I can't do it, right?" ”

In fact...... It's a bit of a mess.

But Sun Yihuan didn't mind having a fight with the other party in this kind of win-winning situation: "Okay, come, where is the kitchen?" he said as he got up, and turned his head to Huang Dong by the way, "Brother Huang, come over together, I'll make an appetizer for the two of us first." ”
