Volume 1 The Sword Enters the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 62 This thing should only be in the sky
The crowd was silent and silent.
The young man smiled at everyone and held the huge copper pot high in front of him.
"Now that you all know how to use this copper pot, please come inside!"
The boy summoned the men at the table one after another to make way for them.
"What, do you think my restaurant is too small, or are you afraid that the next hospitality will not be good?"
Before the words fell, I heard a commotion from the crowd.
"Shopkeeper, you're clearly making fun of us!"
"There are only some raw meat, vegetables and fruits on this table, as well as this strangely shaped copper pot. Don't say that the wine and delicacies are not even seen in the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, is it for us to drink the northwest wind?"
The young man listened to the voice in his ear complaining, and the corners of his mouth still raised a smile.
"Since you don't believe it, why don't you wait patiently for a while, and then show it to you. ”
There was a burst of heartfelt laughter from the crowd.
"Shopkeeper, we have to talk about it in advance. Regardless of the outcome of your presentation, we're going to have to go in and have a meal. ”
"Yes, the shopkeeper must not break his word!"
Everyone was skeptical and echoed loudly.
"Don't worry, you won't smash the signboard of this restaurant with your own hands. ”
The boy smiled and nodded, and slowly lowered the copper pot on the table.
"Brother Mouse, has the charcoal fire ever burned?"
A gray-black figure suddenly jumped out beside him, holding a pitch-black copper basin in his hand. The charcoal in the basin is red, the breeze is blowing, and there are faint stars and sparks.
"It's already burned red, just waiting for your big shopkeeper to give an order!"
The gray mouse wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose, and in an instant, an ink-like trace slowly slipped off.
"Shopkeeper, next time I have this dirty and tiring drudgery, can I change someone to toss?"
The young man looked at the dark-faced gray mouse not far away, and couldn't help but snort and laughed.
"Brother Mouse is working hard, I'll let you have a good time. ”
The red-hot charcoal is slowly put into the bottom layer of the pot, and the temperature of the cold metal rises sharply in an instant.
"Brother Shi, has the boiling water ever been boiled?"
Another burly figure stepped out from the side, carrying a huge kettle in his hand.
Unlike some people, who dress rustically and smoked unkempt, it's really unsightly. ”
The stone gently passed the kettle, and did not forget to say a few sarcastic words before leaving.
Fortunately, the gray mouse has been dizzy and ringing recently, and he has never heard this remark, and he even grinned at the two.
The boy shook his head helplessly and tilted the kettle slightly.
Boiling water into the pot and a hissing sound erupts.
Everyone in the audience was confused by this series of actions, and their eyes were full of doubts.
"It's ...... Want to boil water and boil noodles?"
"Then there's no need to use such a strange pot!"
Before the words fell, I saw the young man roll up his sleeves, pick up all kinds of ingredients on the table, and throw them into the copper pot.
The crowd was instantly full of discussions.
"What is he doing here?"
"A smorgasbord of copper pots?"
"It's the first time I've seen this way of eating, and I don't know what it tastes like?"
"Look at your useless appearance! The clear soup in the copper pot is low water, and there is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. No matter how tender the ingredients are, they are afraid that they are tasteless. ”
“............”
The onlookers have their own opinions, but most of them are not optimistic about the fresh meat and vegetables tumbling up and down in this copper pot.
The young man's face remained unchanged, and he turned around and smiled at the dialect.
"Brother Fang, it's up to you next. ”
"You baby, you will play tricks. ”
Fang Yan smiled helplessly and walked towards the restaurant.
In a moment, a sealed jar of sauce slowly lowered onto the long table.
"Baby, success or failure is here. ”
Fang Yan clasped his arms in his hands and stared at the boiling water in the pot.
The man in the robe had already walked beside him for at least a year, watching him move step by step.
There was no sound in the crowd, and all eyes were focused on the inky black crockpot.
After about half a pillar of incense, the boiling water in the pot was boiling, and the meat slices had changed color.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already shown you how to use this copper pot. ”
"Now that the ingredients in the pot are fully cooked, who would like to come up and try the taste?"
The young man smiled and slowly opened the crockpot. In an instant, an enticing aroma wafted everywhere, and it was clearly audible within five steps of the surroundings.
"...... this?"
The robed man's pupils shrank, and his eyes were fixed on the crockpot in the young man's hand.
The onlookers were far away, and although they couldn't smell the aroma of the sauce, they could already see the changes in the expression on Mr. Liu's face.
"Could it be that there is a problem with the crockpot in the doll's hand?"
Looking at the expression on Mr. Liu's face, there seems to be another mystery. ”
"Third brother, why don't you go up and try it?"
"Hey, why don't you go? I don't want to lose my appetite, and I'm not in the mood to go to this restaurant to enjoy later. ”
There was a lot of chatter in the crowd, but no one came forward to try it.
"Jiang Gongzi, can I try it first?"
The man in the robe only felt a stir under his tongue, and finally couldn't help but speak.
The young man was a little surprised: "Mr. Liu is really willing to try?"
"If Liu's guess is right, Jiang Gongzi's crockpot in his hand is the key to seasoning. ”
The man in the robe put his hands behind his back and smiled at the boy.
"Mr. Liu, please!"
The boy slowly poured the sauce from the crockpot into a porcelain bowl and handed it to the man in the robe.
"Mr. Liu may eat spicy?"
"The ancestral home of Sichuan and Shu has always been spicy. ”
"Very well, sir. ”
The boy pulled out a small wooden box from under the table, which was divided into compartments and contained several different colored powders.
"Does Mr. like Sichuan pepper or Shu pepper?"
The man in the robe looked surprised: "Jiang Gongzi still understands these statements?"
The young man grinned: "To do one line and learn one line, you always have to put in some effort." ”
"In that case, let's have one for each. ”
The boy bowed slightly, poured the two-color powder into the bowl, and slowly stirred well.
"Sir, please!"
The man in the robe took the porcelain bowl and picked up the chopsticks from the table.
The eyes of the crowd converged here, staring at the big man's every move.
"Look! Mr. Liu really wants to give it a try!"
"How much benefit did this doll give to Mr. How could he be so desperate. ”
Before the words fell, he heard a rebuttal from beside him.
"Oh my name, you think everyone is like you!"
"Mr. Liu has always been highly respected, and he must not be able to bear that doll not to get off the stage, so he is willing to try. ”
"I see that you are a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and you can only talk nonsense all day long......"
Although there was a commotion in the crowd, without exception, they did not focus their attention on one person.
I saw the man in the robe holding the bowl in one hand, and slowly poking the chopsticks into the copper pot with the other hand.
"Good knife work!"
Mr. Liu looked at the thin and even slices of meat in his hand and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"How about a taste, sir?"
The young man was full of confidence, and stood beside the man with his hands.
The dishes and chopsticks collide, and the meat slices are coated with a thick layer of sauce.
The man in the robe closed his eyes slightly, and slowly put the slices of meat into his mouth.
"Hiss~!"
But in an instant, the man's eyes opened suddenly, and a little essence burst out.
"This ......"
The softness of the tender lamb was complemented by the mellow flavor of the secret sauce, and the man in the robe spat out only one word and then stopped talking. His eyes closed again, and he began to chew carefully, his expression full of comfort.
Mr. Liu's expression ...... Seems to be enjoying?"
There were already people with deaf ears and eyes around, who were the first to notice the strangeness of the man in the robe.
"Could it be that the ingredients in the copper pot are really so delicious?"
"How is it possible? Boiled pork slices in clear water, or stewed cabbage in clear water?"
"I've tried all these things, and they are so bad that I can't swallow them!"
"But looking at Mr. Liu's expression, it doesn't look like it's pretending. ”
"I know! Mr. Liu probably doesn't have a sense of taste, right?"
Everyone was speechless for a while, and automatically ignored such absurd and brainless words.
On the square table, next to the copper pot.
The robed man chewed incessantly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
After a few moments, slowly open your eyes.
There is still a lingering fragrance between the lips and teeth, and the eyes are full of aftertaste.
A sigh came out slowly, clearly audible.
"This thing should only be in the sky, how many times can I taste it in the world!"
