Chapter 52: The Imperial City Zhenguowei -52

While eating the food, Edward carefully sipped the ginseng and osmanthus wine, and looked at him with an intoxicated face, as if he were an emperor.

Edward looked at the dry wine glass with regret, and he said with some loss: "Such a good wine, why don't we have Diouman?"

Wu Nai smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth after hearing this: "The main ingredient of fire ginseng osmanthus wine is too rare, so it can only barely meet our own needs, and it is generally not exported." After saying that, Wu Nai filled another glass for Edward.

This fire ginseng osmanthus wine is known as the entry artifact of the corruption of the Daxuan people, and sure enough, it has a wonderful effect on foreigners with different skin and hair colors.

However, because several faint monarchs of the year were fond of this wine, after Gaozu seized power, he completely swept this thing out of the palace, so that the people of the Diuman mission could not understand the "power" of this thing.

After listening to Wu Nai's explanation, Edward cherished the wine in this cup even more, and he carefully took another sip, this kind of elixir and jade liquid, he was really reluctant to drink as much as wine.

After tasting it carefully, Edward temporarily put down the wine in the cup, one is that the wine has an endless aftertaste, and it is another layer of enjoyment. Second, he has another question that he has always wanted to ask Wu Nai.

Edward smiled and asked Wu Nai, "Mr. Wu Nai, can I ask you a question?"

Wu Nai also replied with a smile: "Mr. Edward doesn't need to be polite, just ask." ”

Edward cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Wu Nai, you really don't know the man wearing the hat today?"

Wu patiently thought: This bearded man has told you that he doesn't know him, why don't you give up?

Wu Nai replied: "I didn't hide this from you, I really don't know." ”

Edward didn't give up, he immediately asked, "But that person obviously looks like he knows you, don't you remember who it is for a while?"

Wu Nai looked helpless and returned: "My contemptible memory has always been very good, I confirm that I must not know him, although he insists on knowing my father, but I really haven't seen him when I was a child." ”

Edward sighed heavily: "Alas...... I really want to have a good fight with him!"

Wu Nai comforted Edward, and secretly thought in his heart: Don't let this kid know that I am "the best in the world", this bearded man is too aggressive, so that he understands my details, and he will not fight with me to the death?

But one thing is okay, I was unknown before, and it didn't take long to win the "first place in the world", not to mention the common people walking on the street, even if you are a person in the rivers and lakes, you may not be able to recognize yourself. And the palace pretended to be a person who sent auspicious rui at the beginning, and he was not afraid of leaking the news.

Therefore, as long as he does not report his name as a death, nine times out of ten he will not be known by Edward as the "number one in the world".

The two were enjoying appetizers when there was a sudden knock on the door. Then came Xiao Er's voice: "Second master, your first peony duck is here." ”

"Come in. As Wu Nai's voice fell, Xiao Er walked in with a basin of hot water first, and when the two of them wondered where the dish was, a chef walked in behind Xiao Er, who was holding a large plate of roasted duck.

A strong aroma of roast duck spread throughout the private room.

The chef first placed the peony duck in the center of the table, the duck was golden brown and crispy, not a trace of it was burnt, and the fat on the duck skin sizzled, mixed with the aroma to attract people to salivate.

The chef first washed his hands in the basin of hot water that Xiao Er was holding in front of Wu Nai and the others, and then dried them with a towel and passed them in front of them, as if to let the two see if his hands had been washed.

Edward was looking out when the cook suddenly pulled out a shiny knife from behind his waist.

Edward was startled when he saw this, and he immediately stood up and scolded angrily, "What do you want to do!?"

The chef just stared blankly at Edward with a sharp knife.

Wu Nai hurriedly got up and said, "Mr. Edward, don't panic. The chef was just going to make us duck slices. ”

The cook smiled awkwardly at Edward, who looked embarrassed, arched his hand at the crispy golden peony duck and sat back down.

It turned out that the chef washed his hands in front of him because he had to touch the duck with his hands during the process of dismembering the peony duck. Mochizuki Pavilion is located in Taijing, the capital of Daxuan, and as the restaurant with the highest specifications in Taijing, there are many kinds of princes and nobles and wealthy high-ranking officials who usually receive them.

The chef dismantled the roast duck with dazzling knife work, and in a few moments the duck was divided into no more than ninety-eight pieces, each of which was the same size.

Edward was shocked, and hurriedly asked Wu Nai with a curious face: "This is also your martial arts?"

Wu Nai almost didn't laugh out loud after hearing this, and then said to Edward seriously: "Yes, this is a mysterious knife technique that we have Xuan, which is specially used to deal with chickens, geese and ducks. ”

Edward nodded in surprise, "What, are your Daxuan's poultry more dangerous than wild beasts?"

The shopkeeper and the chef almost didn't burst out laughing after hearing this, but due to the strict rules in the store, they could only hold back their laughter painfully.

Xiao Er took the duck bones away, and then left with the chef, and Edward couldn't wait to pick up a slice of duck and taste it.

As soon as the duck meat was eaten in his mouth, the aroma of the oven and the thoroughly flavored slices of meat conquered Edward's taste buds. The moment he used his tongue to bring the slices of meat to his teeth, the fat but not greasy duck skin burst out of the roasted duck fat, filling Edward's teeth and tongue.

Edward didn't speak, he just greedily chewed and squeezed out a mouthful of oily slices, and kept making a sound of mmmmm! to express his admiration for the delicacy.

Wu Nai watched Edward also eat a piece of duck meat, and secretly laughed in his heart: "Bearded, is it delicious?" This thing is the second "corrupt artifact" that was driven out of the palace along with the fire ginseng osmanthus wine.

Although this peony duck has the word peony, it is not that it will use peony flowers. It's just that there are many ducks stocked on the Peony Canal, and they are sold on Peony Street, so they are called Peony Ducks.

There is only one main ingredient for peony ducks, and that is the fat ducks raised in the Peony Canal. But it's a kung fu dish that starts with the duck being slaughtered that night, marinated in the store's special secret sauce, and kept fresh in a dedicated ice room.

After a night of flavoring, it is taken out of the ice room and grilled when the guests arrive. And if it is not sold out on the same day, the ducks will no longer be used.

Because the freshness of the duck and the special secret sauce need a perfect time to achieve the best fit, half a day earlier, it will not be enough to taste, half a day late, it will not have the freshness of slaughtering alive, so it will also lose its greatest value.

For this dish, Edward was different from tasting the ginseng wine slowly, he ate it in large gulps, and the fat, but not greasy and roasted golden and crispy duck skin was almost eaten by him alone.

Wu Nai looked at Edward, who was gobbling up, and laughed in his heart: Hmph, it's very good. You also swallowed this second sugar-coated arrow.

Wu Nai hurriedly persuaded Edward kindly: "Mr. Edward, don't be in such a hurry. ”

Then Wu Nai pretended to be mysterious and said: "Today's finale is not on yet." ”
