Volume 2: Yuan Zhu Moves in the Eight Directions of the Present World Chapter 144: People are not as good as horses
Guo Xu was not interested, he only raised his hand and put a chopstick, and then ignored it, this bear's paw is too rough to make, it is simply a tyrannical thing.
Such a rare good material is not even a mid-level spiritual food, if this is in the restaurant, this so-called spiritual chef has already been blown away by Huzi.
"Oh, Guo Daoyou, why don't you move the chopsticks, but this bear paw is too rough to swallow?"
Since he participated in this grand event today, he has always been very aware of the sense of proportion, knows how to advance and retreat, and this is the first time he has spoken.
"Yes, it is indeed as Bai Daoyou said, it is difficult to swallow. ”
As soon as Guo Xu's words came out, those hearty royal relatives and nobles who were eating, and the dignitaries and dignitaries were instantly shocked, and they didn't eat the bear's paws in their chopsticks, nor did they put them down.
"Haha! Guo Daoyou is refreshing, Dugu is used to eating the food in this restaurant, and such a vulgar thing is also difficult to swallow. The bear's paw on his desk was barely touched.
Not only him, but Bai Izumo, Pang Sihai, cold as ice, and Dongfang Rulong's case was almost untouched.
Li Yuanji showed a wry smile on his face, the tastes of these masters are too tricky, this imperial chef is already the best spiritual chef in the Tang Kingdom, if he is not satisfied, where can he find a better one?
"Guo Daoyou, I heard that you are a close disciple of Master Li, a third-level spirit chef, and you have superb cooking skills, can you show your hand to let Leng see and understand. ”
But it was as cold as ice to speak, and his voice was hoarse, his tone was stiff, and he was cold.
He has always been silent, and today he actually spoke, but what he said sounded very uncomfortable, which obviously meant to be a test.
But he is not making things difficult for Guo Xu, in fact, he is by nature, and he himself knows that speaking is easy to cause misunderstanding by others, so most of them usually simply keep silent.
Li Yuanji and the others' faces changed instantly, how did they not know what kind of character this Guo Xu was after the right thing, the implicit provocation of these words was that they could all hear it, let alone Guo Xu?
With this young master's temperament, I don't know what kind of turmoil will arise, Dongfang Rulong, Dugu Nameless, Bai Izuyun and others also smiled wryly and were speechless.
On the contrary, Dongfang Ruyu, Steward Xiao, Dongfang Falcon and others showed a touch of playfulness in their eyes.
"Oh, Leng Daoyou wants to see Guo Xu's craftsmanship, why not. Guo Xu looked at Leng Rubing and smiled slightly, turned his head to Li Yuanji and said.
"I don't know if Your Highness's bear paw can be used up, if there is any leftover, you might as well bring it, and let Guo make a bear paw for Leng Daoyou, Bai Daoyou, Dugu Daoyou, Pang Daoyou, and Dongfang Daoyou, you can't be hungry at the feast tonight." ”
"Hahaha! Guo Daoyou wants to get it, nameless admiration! Come, nameless to give Daoyou a drink. Dugu Wuming looked excited when he heard this, Huo Ran got up and toasted to Guo Xuyao.
Guo Xu also drank to the end of the glass, looked at Dongfang Rulong and smiled slightly, and then sat back.
In a short time, a group of maids had already walked up quickly with a few plates of dehaired and cleaned bear paws.
There are more than a dozen of these bear paws, which is enough for everyone here to have one.
There was a muffled sound, and a simple and atmospheric dark iron cauldron stood in the center of the ceremony, and then a table dedicated to Zhang Ling's kitchen was also placed next to the cauldron.
There was another crisp sound, and the desk was full of jade plates, jade bowls, jade cups, etc.
Guo Xu brought more than one set of spiritual kitchen utensils with him on this trip, and at this moment, he took out a set at random and put it out one by one, which was a posture of making spiritual food on the spot.
Everyone's eyes suddenly shone brightly, Guo Xu actually made it on the spot!
Dongfang Rulong and others looked at each other, Li Yuanji and others had hot eyes, Dongfang Ruyu and others looked mysterious, but the slightest ridicule at the corner of their mouths could not be concealed.
"Thorn, sting!" The spirit oil cooked, a burst of curling green smoke swirled, the fragrance was overflowing, Guo Xu made a move with his right hand, and the bear paws placed on the jade plate flew up one after another.
These bear paws were lined up in a neat queue, cooked in the spiritual oil very quickly, and then quickly circled and flew back.
There was a soft sound, and the bear's paws all fell back into the original jade plate, but they had crossed a layer of gold at the moment, and they were steaming white.
"Thorn, stab!" The voice rose again, and this time Guo Xu casually summoned countless spiritual herbs and elixirs from the jade plate and jade plate, and just put all of them into it to fry.
"Bang" again, and then "Zizizi!" There was a melodious whisper, and a large basin of cold and biting Xisi spring water was poured into the cauldron.
There was another clang, and the lid of the pot was covered. Guo Xu stood quietly by the cauldron, engrossed in a light purple, smoke-like flame.
This flame is no longer the original blue spirit fire, the blue spirit fire is born from the lungs of the earth, and it is too closely related to the terrain to be easy to carry.
This time she went out to celebrate her birthday, and Li Linger gave her purple orchid to Guo Xu.
This Zilan belongs to the second-grade spiritual fire, no matter the fierceness of the flame, or the temperature of the flame core, etc., it is more than the blue spiritual fire, although it is more conducive to cooking spiritual food, but this is also much more difficult to control.
But at this moment, this Zilan seems to have become an extremely well-behaved girl in Guo Xu's hands, without the spicy and domineering of the past, dancing happily and singing happily under this cauldron.
In less than a fragrant time, the soup boiled by various elixirs in this cauldron has boiled, and the squeaking sound, accompanied by bursts of aroma, makes people have a great appetite.
"Go!" reprimanded, and then with a clang, the lid of the pot opened, and the bear paws placed on the jade plate flew up in the air again, only to hear more than a dozen sounds of "poof, puff, puff", and all these bear paws fell into the cauldron.
With a clang, the lid of the pot is closed. Guo Xu did not continue to stay in front of the pot, turned around and walked back to his seat.
"Leng Daoyou, such as Long Daoyou, wait for a while, this bear's paw will be fine for a while. ”
Guo Daoyou's spiritual kitchen display is amazing, it is really eye-opening, like a dragon admires, come, let's toast Guo Daoyou with a cup. ”
Dongfang stood up like a dragon and toasted Guo Xu with his four followers, Guo Xu made such an exception, he didn't know how to thank him.
"Haha, Taoist friends are polite, carving insect skills, not elegant, let you laugh. ”
With this toast, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly eased again.
Li Yuanji also came up to toast, his eyes were full of reverence, it was the first time he knew that Guo Xu was a third-level spirit chef.
Half an hour passed in an instant, and the purple lan at the bottom of the pot also slowly shrank, and finally turned into a little tinder suspended at the bottom of the cauldron.
"Your Highness, you can now let your spirit chef come out and help Guo Mou pick up the bear's paw and serve it on a plate. Guo Xu looked at Li Yuanji with an inexplicable smile.
Guo Daoyou reminded him that such a trivial matter, how could he bother Daoyou to make a move, it was exactly what he should do. Li Yuanji snorted, and made a slight move with his right hand.
There was a sound of shredded footsteps, and from the back door of the platform came a middle-aged monk with a thin body, messy hair, and a dark robe.
"Mo Ai to meet the master!" As soon as the middle-aged monk appeared, he made a big salute to Guo Xu, who was sitting on the chair, but his etiquette was quite strange, but he bent down with one hand behind his back and the other hand on his chest.
Guo Xu also got up and returned the same etiquette, but he didn't bow down and nodded slightly.
Their strange etiquette is the etiquette prescribed by the Soul Chef Guild, and it is common for all levels of spirit chefs to meet and pay homage.
"Put this bear's paw on a plate, and I'll see how you do it. ”
"Obey the Master's orders!" This middle-aged monk named Mo Ai was obviously very excited, and his whole body trembled a little, and it was a rare opportunity to get the guidance of a third-level spirit chef, and it was also a great honor for him to be a casual cultivator without a teacher.
With a clang, the lid of the pot was lifted, and a burst of extremely rich aroma bloomed, and Mo Ai's eyes lit up.
This yellow braised bear's paw is the same as his, but just looking at this color and fragrance is beyond his own.
"Knock! knock!" The bear's paws had been placed on the jade plate, and there was a stabbing and stabbing sound several times, which was the sound of the soup pouring on it.
Guo Xu nodded slightly, the technique of presenting the pot on the plate was also so-so, but it was a little sluggish and stiff, and even let a lot of essence escape, and the effect of this bear's paw was reduced by at least three points in this last step.
"Come on, bring it to Master Guo and Gongzi Rulong. As soon as Li Yuanji saw that the bear's paw had been presented, he couldn't wait to let the maid serve it.
It's just that his nose is flapping and his Adam's apple is rolling, and he obviously likes this bear's paw as well.
"Go, you go and serve your Highness and the two generals, and each bring a plate. Guo Xu smiled slightly and beckoned the maid beside him to get up.
"Hahaha! Yuan Ji thanks Master Guo. Li Yuanji was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Guo Xu's eyes full of excitement.
"Mo Ai, you are just working hard, you also take a plate back to taste, remember that this spirit kitchen is the heaviest spirit word, everything is around this spirit word, don't be too rigid in form. ”
Mo Ai's expression was shocked when he heard this, and his face was immediately ecstatic, Guo Xu obviously intended to mention him.
In this pot of bear's paws, Dongfang Rulong's five people and Li Yuanji each have a plate, Guo Xu has a plate for himself, and Mo Ai has a plate, and most of it has gone in a blink of an eye, and only six plates are left.
Guo Xu smiled coldly, ignoring the eager eyes of the rest of the people present, and picked up the jade chopsticks by himself and feasted on them.
Li Yuanji looked at the food in front of him, but he couldn't swallow it, his face was extremely embarrassed, he looked at Guo Xu for a while, and looked at Dongfang Ruyu and others who were already gloomy for a while, and he didn't know how to speak.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, but Dongfang Falcon couldn't help but shoot the case, raised his finger and scolded angrily: "Guo Xu, what do you mean by this?"
"Oh, Falcon, what kind of nerves are you doing, Guo Mou eats so well, where did he provoke you. Guo Xuwu buried himself in eating, and didn't even look at him.
"You! you...... To be a man, you have to know how to repay your kindness, and you are now riding on my Oriental family's spiritual boat. Dongfang Falcon's tone was extremely cold.
"Oh, yes, what Hayabusa said makes sense, to be a man, you have to know how to repay your kindness. Guo Xu put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, turned his head and said to the maid standing beside him.
"Go and take these plates of bear's paws to the black-scaled horses, they have run all the way, they have worked hard, and treat them. ”
