Chapter 49 Sending troops

Lao Qi, who is in charge of the City Lord's Mansion, is particularly busy today,

The dozens of exquisite dishes that had been prepared yesterday were all changed by the light words of the Lu steward who came over early in the morning today.

The spirit wings, abalone, bear paws, and luan tongue prepared yesterday were directly replaced with green vegetables, tofu, green bamboo shoots, and spirit mushrooms.

When the Lu steward came, he also emphasized that there must be no green onions, ginger, garlic, etc.,

As soon as Lao Qi started in the morning, he was as busy as a spinning top. Even if the people below broke seven or eight dishes and six bowls one after another, he didn't have the strength to curse.

Don't look at this vegetarian light, in fact, it is more skillful,

It is necessary not only to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, but also to pay attention to the collocation of the monarch and the minister, and not let the side dishes steal the limelight of the staple food.

In addition, the seasonings that can be used are already limited, and they have to be made light and elegant, which makes people have a fragrant lips and teeth and a great appetite after eating, which really forces out the old Qi's kung fu.

On the stove, three or four fireheads were desperately spitting tongues of fire. In each stove, there are long strips of spiritual carbon evenly and neatly stacked, and a tall guy on the side is desperately pulling the bellows to transmit fresh air into the stove.

This spiritual carbon is taken from a kind of spiritual bamboo on the West Mountain, and after being fired by a special method, it becomes spiritual carbon.

This kind of spiritual carbon is extremely popular in Jixia City, I heard that a large basket requires a spiritual stone, and there are even special qi refiners who plant this spiritual bamboo in Xishan, and live on this spiritual carbon for generations.

The spiritual fire spit out by this spiritual carbon is also very good, not to mention stable, the heat is also extremely uniform, even if it burns to the last moment, this spiritual fire will not change in any way.

Therefore, every year the city lord's mansion is the largest guest of the spirit carbon in the West Mountain, it is said that because of this, the West Mountain is full of this kind of spiritual bamboo, and the wind has passed, and the sound of a rustle is very good-looking, so that it has become a scene.

Lao Qi is the stove in this back kitchen, and all the dishes have to pass through his eyes before they can be on the table of the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, the more time it is to start eating, the more he dares not slack off.

On the stove, one after another stir-fry was roasted along the tongue of the spiritual fire, and as soon as the chefs played with their skillful hands, they turned into fragrant dishes, which were filled with porcelain white plates and passed on one by one.

Lao Qi stared at the actions of these chefs, and kept admonishing him, for fear of breaking a link. On the other side, he counted the time silently in his heart, and at the time of 1,300 strokes, he took the cage drawer woven by Xishan Lingzhu from the stove with a hand.

In this cage drawer, it is a famous dish in Jixia City: "Qingshui Lingsun".

Don't look at this dish as ordinary, it seems that water and Lingsun are steamed, but in fact, the effort and heat in the middle are extremely particular, and a difference will make this dish difficult to swallow.

Lao Qi's secret recipe is that he must use the hot spring water in the middle of the city to steam the Lingsun on the West Mountain, plus his own secret seasoning, after 1,300 times, it has become the most famous dish in Jixia City.

And Lao Qi also relied on this famous dish to become one of the famous stoves in Jixia City.

Therefore, every time this dish, Lao Qi does it himself, from beginning to end, so as to ensure that diners can eat the most authentic taste.

Lao Qi beckoned, and arranged for a guy who was usually the most serious to help him keep an eye on the back kitchen, and he walked to the front hall with this Lingsun.

Different from the usual carving dragons and painting phoenixes, today because it is a vegetarian diet, Lao Qi has the scheming to choose a plain and elegant green stew pot to hold this Lingsun, and wait quietly outside.

Every time this happens, it's a glorious moment that belongs to him alone.

When he brought Lingsun in, he clearly introduced the origin, and saw the guests open the stew pot, and a unique fragrance rushed into the noses of the diners, which was often the most glorious moment for Lao Qi.

With the praise of the guests, Lao Qi will feel that his reputation has flown a little farther away like wings.

I didn't let him wait too long today, and I passed him in in a short time.

After Lao Qi entered, he peeked in, in addition to the city lord and his two worshippers as accompaniments, there were two elegant figures sitting on the other side.

The first middle-aged nun looks like her, but her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and she looks delicate, which makes people respect it at a glance.

The next one is a young layman dressed up, her face is bright, her unpowdered face is still a little baby fat, a pair of smart eyes are like a pool of spiritual water, looking at everything as if with curiosity, especially vivid.

The city lord was originally frowning, but when he saw Lao Qi coming up, his face relaxed, and he smiled politely: "This is to introduce you to one of the four famous chefs in our East China Sea, and the most unique is this Qingshui Lingsun." “

"Come, come, this city is remote, and there is nothing to take, this Lingsun is a specialty, please taste it from Master Jingci. ”

After speaking, he motioned to the maids to take the green cup from Lao Qi's hand and pass it to the table.

Lao Qi stepped aside and peeked at the guests to taste.

Although he has been in the City Lord's Mansion for some years and has seen many guests, it is not common for nuns, so he is also a little curious.

He peeked at Master Jingci at the top, and after opening the lid, he first praised it, and then lightly dipped the spoon in some water, put it in his mouth, and then put it aside, no longer moving.

Obviously, it can be seen that this Jingci has been practiced to the point where the mind is as calm as a well and does not fake foreign objects. Therefore, although there is admiration for him as a spiritual sun, he will never let himself indulge in the desire of the tongue.

You must know that Lao Qi is extremely proud of his Lingsun, and how many people with face and status he has received, all of them are full of praise for this Lingsun, such as a middle-aged nun, which is rare.

The younger laymen, on the other hand, obviously do not have the meditation skills of middle-aged nuns.

Her whole person was shrunk in a big robe, although it was out of place in this dining room, but the City Lord's Mansion had no opinions, and Lao Qi naturally wouldn't make a fuss.

In this mountain and wilderness, there are many strange people and strange things, and Lao Qi's vision in the city lord's mansion has also been raised, and his qi cultivation kung fu is also getting deeper.

I saw that after the girl brought the green cup, she stretched out her right hand, gently pinched the lid with two fingers, and took the lid away with an elegant gesture.

Lao Qi assessed that this girl was obviously very educated, and even with this cup lid, her actions were quite elegant and extremely natural.

After putting down the lid of the cup, I saw that she also lightly dipped some soup and put it in her mouth.

She first frowned slightly, then raised it beautifully, and then sent a small piece of Lingsun into her mouth.

Lao Qi secretly praised it, knowing that he had met someone who could eat.

You must know that the essence of this cup is actually half of the soup and half of the sun, but who comes first and who comes next is extremely particular.

If you are in a hurry to eat the Lingsun first, it is easy to be occupied by the rich aura in the Lingsun. In this way, when you drink the soup again, you won't be able to taste any beauty.

And when you drink the soup first, you can only taste a little first.

Otherwise, the soup will not be able to roll along the tip of the tongue, the coating of the tongue, the side of the tongue and the base of the tongue, and you will not be able to taste the flavors of the soup.

You must know that each part of the human tongue has the function of each part, sweet and sour, and each part has different sensitivity to various tastes.

If you can't let your tongue distinguish them one by one in a slight order, there are three or four subtle tastes in this freshness. Instead, if you take a big sip, all the areas will be occupied by the soup at the same time, and you won't be able to feel the beauty of this time.

Therefore, observing others drinking soup, you can also see how a person's upbringing is, and when you look at the girl, you will know that this is the master of this way.

Lao Qi was carefully observing everyone's reactions, and he heard the sentence "Amitabha",

Master Jingci said to the city lord: "Since Lord Zhang is willing to send troops to destroy demons, my Asan faction is naturally grateful. ”

"It's just that I don't know when Lord Zhang will be able to get together the hundreds of people needed for this?"

City Lord Zhang was round and chubby, and he didn't rush to move the Lingsun in front of him, but observed the reactions of everyone in the field.

Seeing that Mrs. Jingci asked, she immediately whispered a few words to the worshippers around her, and then smiled kindly: "So that Mrs. Jing can rest assured, these people want to come to me for three days, which is enough to make up." ”

After listening to this, Jing Ci whispered another Buddha horn and said: "In this way, it is the luck of my Eshan, and it is also the luck of the people around the city of Jixia. ”

Lao Qi was stunned when he stood on the side: "Demon, is there going to be an accident in this Jixia City again?"
