Volume 1 Dali Fengyun 43 The wine has its own dishes from afar, and how can the family have grudges

"Oops, this one is so delicious, come and taste it, come and taste it!"

“......”

"Well, it's a good wine, but it seems to be intoxicating. ”

“......”

"Brother Xiaoyi, you're not in good health, don't drink so much wine!"

“......”

Childe sat on the side, watching Xiao Yi and the three of them eat and drink, as if they were more enjoyable than eating and drinking by themselves. Sun Baoshan was full of smiles, poured another cup for the three of them, and said with a smile,

"This 'Wind and Snow Moon' drink is famous all over the world, but the price is also very expensive, but not everyone can drink it!"

Tong Lubai glanced at him and said,

"Childe invited us to eat and drink, and it seems that you are not very happy. ”

Sun Baoshan said with a smile,

"That's a big injustice. The three heroes are good at tasting, and if there are any deficiencies, please explain, and they will be informed of the improvement. ”

Tong Lu laughed,

"Oh, those people say that Dongfulou's food overshadows the 'wind and snow', it's really nonsense. It's too stingy to say it's bad if you don't have the money to eat it. You said that the ancients said that this 'color, fragrance and taste', why did you put this word 'color' first, not to highlight its importance. You think, if a plate of fried meat is black, how can it be in your mouth, so if it is done well, it will make you taste good and eat a few more bowls. ”

Bai Qing shook his head and said,

"Lu Lu, you're talking nonsense again, this 'color and fragrance' is about the order of eating, look at it first, then smell it before eating, you can do it well, it's a mess, people who don't know still think it's really as you said!"

Xiao Yi smiled,

"In my opinion, in terms of the taste of this meal, Dongfulou cuisine is indeed superior. The name of each dish of 'Wind Flower Snow Moon' is by Wen Zou Zou, you can guess what this 'ant on the tree' is! Although this dish is exquisite and beautiful, the portion is very small, and it feels like eating silver, which makes people feel distressed. The Dongfu Lou is different, each dish is extremely realistic, and it seems to be more delicious, and it is much more refreshing to eat. In general, the environment is better and more emotional!"

Childe smiled and said slowly,

"I see, it's still the truth that Xiao Yi said, but I really haven't been to this Dongfu Building, and as for its dishes, I don't know anything about it. Baoshan, you go and order a few good dishes from Dongfu Building, how about we compare them on the spot. ”

Sun Baoshan said with a smile,

"It's easy to do, I'll go and go back. ”

Sun Baoshan went out, Xiao Yi took another sip, and said,

"Childe, his wine is indeed very flavorful, the taste of 'wind', 'flower', 'snow' and 'moon' is different, even I, a little drunkard, can taste it well, if Grandpa comes, he will have to pour himself down three times. You see this injury has been more than a month, why don't we have a toast too!"

Childe smiled bitterly,

"How can I have your body, and this political affairs are very busy, and I have accidentally torn open the wound a few times, and it will still hurt now! ”

Tong Lu took a bite of food and quipped,

"Our little brother Yi's body is beaten with iron, and he drank wine as soon as the wound healed, haha, this will be done in a big bowl!"

A few people talked and laughed, leaving their stomachs waiting to eat the good dishes of Dongfu Building. Sure enough, as long as you are willing to spend money, this dish will come as you say, and you don't have to wait at all. No, Sun Baoshan has already returned with two 'Wind Flowers and Snow Moon' guys. The two men looked dazed, and reluctantly opened the basket, brought out all kinds of dishes, and placed them neatly on the table. Xiao Yi picked up a chopstick of winter bamboo shoots and fried meat, chewed it in a big mouthful,

"This taste is really real and authentic, with this Dongfulou dish, just this 'wind and snow moon', it's really wonderful. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and a fat man with a greasy face stood in the doorway, his whole body was white, and even the hat on his head was snow-white. The fat man didn't seem to know the son, he glared angrily at a few people, and shouted at Xiao Yi, who was intoxicated,

"Isn't it you, a little black charcoal, who doesn't feel enough after eating Lao Tzu's food, and you have to eat that Dongfu Lou again! That's it, and let the guy go over there and bring all the dishes! Lao Tzu can't bear it! I can't bear it! Ah!"

The fat man rushed in, and a large kitchen knife stomped straight on the plate of fried pork with winter bamboo shoots, the plate cracked and the bowl shattered, and the soup splashed everywhere, staining his white coat. The fat man was panting and was about to continue his attack, but he saw that there were suddenly seven or eight more people around, and they all seemed to have guys in their waists. He has a bad heart, and the people in this room are afraid that they can't be provoked no matter what. So he hated Xiao Yi and a few others, and said,

"Hmph, even if you have good luck this time, Lao Tzu won't bother with you today, don't let me run into it again, otherwise, hum!"

After saying that, he pulled out the kitchen knife inserted on the table, turned around and was about to leave. Childe only felt funny, coughed lightly, and several guards surrounded him, and the fat man was a little flustered.

"What do you want to do, this is a good man, you can't bully the law-abiding people!"

Childe laughed,

"By the way, what's your name, is this 'Wind and Snow Moon' cook?"

The man looked at the child, looked arrogant, and replied,

"Hao Xiang, the top chef of 'Fenghua Xueyue', it's me!"

When Bai Qing heard this, he laughed and said,

"Hao Xiang, it's so fragrant! How fragrant are you, haha, your name is so cute!"

The fat man looked at Bai Qing angrily, but he didn't speak, Bai Qing closed his mouth and muttered,

"Say you're so fragrant, you're not happy, so fierce!"

Tong Lu looked at the fat man and said with a smile,

"Do you have a brother named 'Hao Xiang', so that it can match, haha, haha, laugh to death! Is it called 'Hao Xiang', and the dishes you cook are more fragrant than others?! What is the meaning of 'Hao Xiang'? Oh yes, you can make stinky tofu! Haha, that's right!"

Tong Lu hugged his stomach and laughed, the fat man's face was pale, he clenched the big knife in his hand, and gently lifted it upward, Tong Lu hurriedly stopped his mouth and slowly moved to the window. When Xiao Yi saw it, he smiled and said,

"Brother 'Hao Xiang', what are your best dishes, can you introduce them to us?!"

When Hao Xiang heard this, he was immediately interested, but when he looked at the surrounding guards, he didn't dare to make a sound. The son was also happy when he saw it, and he made a look, Sun Baoshan waved to disperse the guards, and the fat man relaxed, found a stool to sit aside, and talked endlessly.

This Hao Xiang's eloquence is also very good, starting from his birth, how he began to learn cooking, how to become a generation of famous chefs, and how his best dishes are recognized. Everyone listened to it speechlessly, and Gongzi also found it interesting, Hao Xiang had fat on his face when he spoke, and he squeezed his eyebrows from time to time, which made Bai Qing laugh more than once. Speaking of this, after Hao Xiang came to 'Fenghua Xueyue', the business here was a little better, he shook his head proudly, his legs trembled, and the fat on his body trembled, which was very funny. Tong Lu saw that this fat man was only afraid that he was also the one who loved to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and he deliberately wanted to tease him, so he picked up a piece of fat meat from the Dongfulou dish and handed it to Hao Xiang's mouth. Hao Xiang is a cook, of course, he also loves food very much, and there is no reason not to eat the food when it comes to his mouth. He ate with a greasy mouth, enjoyed it very much, and as soon as he swallowed it, he realized that something was wrong, his huge body bounced up, his face was full of anger, and he shouted loudly,

"This is what the man did! You gave me this!"

Tong Lu laughed,

"Didn't you just eat deliciously! I think it's more comfortable than you eat what you made yourself!"

Hao Xiang said angrily,

"I didn't taste it well just now, this dish is still a little worse, far worse than what I made!"

Bai Qing brought another dish and smiled,

"I said Chef Hao Xiang, you can try this again!"

After saying that, he was about to feed him, the fat man hurriedly shook his head to avoid it, Bai Qing followed behind him, and the two chased after each other, touching the stool and almost overturning the table. The fat man finally didn't know his physical strength, and his mouth was stuffed into a lot of Dongfulou dishes by Xiao Yi and the three of them. The fat man knew that the people in this room had special identities, so he didn't dare to have a seizure, and he neither spit out nor swallowed the food in his mouth. Seeing this, Childe spit out a mouthful of white water, pulling the wound so painfully that cold sweat broke out on his nose. Xiao Yi looked at Childe, and Childe just smiled slightly, signaling defenselessness. Hao Xiang said something vaguely, and no one could hear it clearly. Tong Lu quipped,

"Isn't it delicious, would you like some more wine?"

After speaking, he was about to pour wine for him, Hao Xiang hurriedly ran towards the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw many strong men blocking the door, he knew that something was wrong, and his mouth was also relaxed, and he slowly swallowed the delicious food into his stomach. Hao Xiang turned back, smiled a little sadly, and said,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I was wrong, you have a lot of adults, don't be like me. ”

Tong Lu looked at him with a smile and said,

"The 'Wind and Snow' is generally a noble minister, a wealthy businessman, and a rich man, but I'm afraid that there are few you can afford to provoke, why are you scolding and playing with knives, is it just for those few dishes?"

Hao Xiang blushed and replied,

"I'm just angry, but there are still people in my territory who dare to take back the dishes of Dongfu Building. ”

Tong Lu looked at the dishes on the table, everyone ate the signature dishes of Dongfu Building, but there was still more than half left, Tong Lu glanced at Gongzi and said with a smile,

"Hao Xiang, yes, our son-in-law has a lot of them, and I don't care about you. ”

When Hao Xiang heard this, he was overjoyed, and then heard Tong Lu continue,

"Our son-in-law often educates his subordinates not to be extravagant and wasteful, you see so many delicacies, we can't eat them anymore, I see that you have such a stomach, it's better to ......"

Hao Xiang swallowed her saliva and looked at Childe secretly, who smiled and nodded. Hao Xiang reluctantly sat down at the table and took a big gulp. Xiao Yi poured him wine with a bowl, he ate a few big sips and drank a bowl of wine, and everyone felt that he was very delicious when they saw him eating. After a while, all the dishes on the table were cleaned up, Hao Xiang had a full burp, the smell was strong, and everyone covered their noses and mouths and ran to the window. Tong Lu pinched his nose and said,

"Your cooking skills are not good, but eating and drinking are very tight, change Ming'er and let Gongzi hold a chef competition, you will definitely be able to win the championship!"

Xiao Yi smiled,

"Master Hao Xiang, I'm a little curious, what kind of holiday does the chef of Dongfu Lou have with you, your performance is very surprising to me!"

Hao Xiang stared at the dishes on the table, her eyes sharp,

"I'm at odds with him, and I don't have much to say. In short, I can't get used to him, and he can't get used to me. ”

Xiao Yi frowned and said,

"Is it that you are quite good at cooking, and you don't accept each other, so you don't like each other!"

Hao Xiang said hatefully,

"How can I be a good cook, I'm a lot higher than that person!"

Xiao Yi smiled,

"But I think his cooking is more to my taste!"

Hao Xiang opened his mouth and said,

"You are a boar that can't produce fine chaff......"

After only half a sentence, he knew that he had lost his words, so he had to keep his mouth shut. Tong Lu asked with a smile,

"Why don't you two have a competition and see whose dish is more popular!"

Hao Xiang muttered,

"Compared with him, wouldn't I lose my identity, so I won't go!"

Tong Lu said regretfully,

"Hey, okay, since you don't dare, then forget it, anyway, most people in this Dali City think that you are inferior to him, hey, okay, okay. ”

Hao Xiang was furious and roared,

"I'm going to be scared of him?!, you say, what a comparison!"

Tong Lu took a sip of wine and said slowly,

"Let's hold a contest for the two of you in this city, and invite the people of this city to be judges, you see. ”

Hao Xiang shook his head and said,

"Most of the people don't know how to taste food, how can they be convincing!"

Tong Lu saw that Gongzi was a little displeased, and said with a smile,

"Master Hao Xiang, do you want people from all walks of life and different walks of life to participate? This is also easy to do, our son knows a lot of people, and he can call a lot of rich sons at will. ”

Hao Xiang thought that if more rich people participated, his chances of winning would be much greater, so he nodded and asked,

"How about doing your own good food competition?"

Tong Lu said with a smile,

"Of course, our son-in-law will make the question, and the two of you will do it separately, and then everyone will evaluate it. ”

Childe was silent for a long time, and after listening to Tong Lu's words, he clapped his hands and said,

"Not bad, Lu Lu, this game is really interesting, let's set it up in these three days, outside the East City Gate, I will let people set up a stove and let both sides of the game do it. You two can bring your own handy, and I will personally order the five dishes, of course, this dish cannot be disclosed to the two of you in advance. Hao Xiang, how are you?"

Hao Xiang smiled when he heard this,

"This is naturally excellent, I'm afraid he won't dare to come!"

Xiao Yi laughed,

"I see that the two of you are half a pound and eight taels, and that person will definitely not flinch, we will go to Dongfu Building later, let Lu Lu blow the wind well, and you will wait to compete with him! ”

Hao Xiangman said reluctantly,

"With the same surname as me, a single name and a taste. ”

Tong Lu chattered a few times and shouted,

"Oh, you two must be brothers, one fragrant and the other smelly. Well, these two brothers are more energetic, but they are much better than the others. ”

Hao Xiang was noncommittal, Tong Lu looked at him with a smile, and said,

"Will you two still have an elder brother, a single name with a 'color' word, and the three brothers have all 'color, fragrance', fortunately, you are the second, if you are the eldest ....... ”

Bai Qing muttered and laughed,

"'Hao Se',! Oh, it's so fun, haha, haha!"

Hao Xiang's face was white and purple for a while, and it took a while before he opened his mouth,

"There are two brothers in the family, I am the eldest brother, he is a year younger than me. Since I was a child, he and I have always competed, and then we fell in love with cooking together, and then we learned to compete together, and gradually, his understanding of food and I became different, and the differences became bigger and bigger. Later, they couldn't get used to each other, and they got to the point where they had to fight as soon as they met. We left Jianchang Mansion together and came to Dali City just to have a good competition. This 'Wind and Snow Moon' and Dongfu Lou are famous restaurants in Dali City, and they also have their own merits, we have been here for three years, and we still can't look down on each other, and we haven't met once in the past three years, and I don't remember what he looks like. ”

Xiao Yi looked at him and said with a smile,

"You two are brothers, forget about this, you are really big-hearted. You prepare well, and we will go to the Dongfu Building in a while to see what my brother has to do. ”

Tong Lu added,

"In the past few days, we have been building momentum everywhere to stir up the topic of this competition, and when the time comes, whoever wants to win will be known to everyone, and our reputation will be a thousand miles away. But the losing party will be unlucky, Master Hao Xiang, if you lose, you will be shooting yourself in the foot!"

"How could I lose! How could I possibly!" Hao Xiang said urgently, but very excited.

Childe stood up and said with a smile,

"That's it for today, I have to go back to work. Xiao Yi, Baoshan will send it to you today, you must make this cooking contest prosperous and beautiful! I hurried back to finish my business before I came to watch the competition. Haha!"

Gongzi patted Xiao Yi and Hao Xiang, turned around and went out, Sun Baoshan stayed, and asked the details of this stove boiler one by one, Xiao Yi and the three of them also sighed at the delicacy of Sun Baoshan's thoughts. After remembering it, Sun Baoshan let Hao Xiang go back, discussed it with Xiao Yi and the three of them, and then went out and went straight to Dongfu Building.

At this hour, the diners had already dispersed, and there were only a few people in the Dongfu Building who ran the hall to clean up the tables and chairs, Xiao Yi inquired, only to know that Hao Wei was not in the building, and it was unknown where he was going. A young man rushed back from outside excitedly, and when he saw Xiao Yi and a few people, he stepped forward to greet him, and when he heard that he was looking for a chef, the guy smiled lewdly and said softly,

"This will be in Xiao Cui, don't you know that Xiao Cui has a graceful figure, and Chef Hao is a natural pair!"

Xiao Yi and the three of them were interested, asked east and west, and the guy who ran the hall also came up, the little guy spread his hand, and everyone hated to put the silver money, and the guy counted it, and he was very satisfied, so he said slowly,

"When I went out of the city today, I happened to meet Chef Hao, he was not far in front of me, I was about to call him, and then I looked back and thought about it, he lived in the city, why would he be in a hurry to go out of the city, and then look at his expression, he must be going to meet that friend. I cautiously followed him to a farmhouse, where he was acquainted with me. Tsk, one of Xiaocui's arms is thicker than my thigh, I have been bullied by her since I was a child, and I was afraid that she would find out, so I hid...... Hey, somehow, I'm so thirsty!"

Someone poured tea diligently, and the young man took a sip and continued,

"I stayed outside the door for half an hour, and I didn't hear any movement, so I came back bored. ”

Everyone sighed and scattered, and a strong one gave the little guy a kick in the ass, and the little guy stroked his ass and laughed. Tong Lu grabbed the young man and said with a smile,

"You kid, this is also called storytelling, it's not exciting at all. Hurry up and take us to the chef, you can't do without it. ”

The young man waved his round hand, this is not good, if Chef Hao knows, then I can't eat and walk around! Tong Lu grabbed him by the collar,

"Didn't you just say it to so many people, why didn't you just say that you were afraid of Chef Hao? Don't you just want money, hum!"

Tong Lu glanced at Sun Baoshan, Sun Baoshan had already prepared a small ingot of silver, he walked over and stuffed it directly into the young man's hand, the man saw the silver, quickly put it away, and then laughed,

"Let's go, I'll take you there. ”

Xiao Yi didn't expect this young guy to be so fickle, so he smiled helplessly and walked out of Dongfu Building with him. A few people went out of the city gate in a hurry, and saw some pedestrians from a distance, and the little man shouted,

"Look, look, that's Chef Hao, the fattest one!"

Several people tried to look at it for a while, only to find a fat man shaking his body and walking away.

"Chef Hao has found it, I'll leave first!" As soon as he finished speaking, the young man ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Several people saw that Hao Wei was indeed somewhat similar to his brother, dressed in gray cloth clothes, and his hair was extremely well-coiled, which should not be his own doing. As he approached, no one stepped forward to speak. Hao Wei didn't notice it at first, but when he got closer, he realized that something was wrong, these four people stared at him very uncomfortable, he checked himself up and down, and asked suspiciously,

"Is there something wrong with me? Why do you look at me like that?"

Tong Lu has a treacherous face,

"Master Hao Wei, you're too fast!"
