Talking, talking, before I knew it, I came to the dining room. The fruit cart had just been pushed to the door of the dining room. I saw a man in his twenties dressed in the chef's costume, standing in the dining room, busy with his work, commanding the smashed guy with his left hand, and commanding the pier hand with his right hand: "The cabbage is torn into slices by hand, and the radish is cut into thin strips, the fish is not cut, it is sliced, not vertically sliced, it is floated out diagonally, and it tastes out when it is thinner, why are you Lingnan people so stupid?" while commanding, he cursed at the same time, and his attitude was very fierce.

The guy who cut vegetables hurriedly apologized: "Master Fu, I'm sorry, we are here to cut this kind of fish vertically." ”

The chef Fu scolded loudly: "Fart, since your Southern Han Emperor invited me to cook a meal for Lord Zhao, you have to make it according to my Shu flavor method, the spicy sauce soy fish has to be like this, what a fool, you don't talk nonsense, just do what I say." ”

The pier hand was scolded so much that he didn't dare to fight back, so he had to lower his head and slice the fish seriously.

After the chef finished scolding the dunner, he turned to the guy who was choosing the dishes and said, "You, go and choose the oldest ginger, it should be spicy, otherwise it will have no taste." ”

The guy nodded again and again like pounding garlic, and hurriedly turned around to choose the old ginger like a trot.

At this time, the chef saw Yi Dan and the others pushing the fruit in at the door, so he said, "Are you here for all the longan loquats?" Hurry up and bring them in, hurry, what are you rubbing? Wait for me to pour hot oil on you and make a braised lion's head?"

Yi Dan was so angry that he was almost about to teach this arrogant and domineering cook a lesson, Ouyang Yucheng touched her lightly, only then did he suppress his emotions a little, and came back to his senses and said, "Oh, here it is." ”

As a cart of fruit was pushed into the dining room, a man dressed as a Uighur soldier stopped Yi Dan's cart and said, "Stop and let me check before sending it in." ”

Yi Dan stopped the car. After confirming that it was correct, he pushed it in.

Yi Dan and the three of them slowly packed all the fruits into the basket. When loading the bananas, the chef said, "You don't need to pack the bananas, just take them over in a while." After that, he said to the guys next to him who had just finished washing the dishes: "What are you waiting for?" Quickly wash your hands, peel and core these loquats, and immediately boil loquat paste. ”

Those people had no choice but to obediently agree and wash their hands. Lift the basket of loquats, wash it, make a pot, start peeling and pitting, and put the pulp in the pot.

At this time, on one side of the stove, the water in the sand pot was already boiling. The chef poured a large bowl of washed red beans into a clay pot and slowly simmered over medium heat.

The guy on the side said, "Master Fu, you red bean lotus seed soup." Why do you put so many red beans in them?"

The chef said, "This is my way, you don't care so much, just cut your dishes." ”

"I'm sorry! Master Fu, the little one is too talkative again. ”

That chef with a spoon. Stirred the red beans in the clay pot, closed the lid again, and then said to the guy who was chopping vegetables: "Let me come, you go and see if the steamer steam is blocked." And also. The heat of the snow ginseng dragon and phoenix soup must be controlled well, not too big. It can't be too small, and it can't be extinguished. Otherwise, the soup will not taste good. ”

The guy stopped the knife in his hand and said, "Okay, Master Fu, I'll go." With that, throw the knife on the cutting board.

The chef picked up the kitchen knife, "bang, bang" three times, slapped the old ginger to pieces, and cut it with a few lightly chops. Then he picked up a few garlic sprouts and put them on the cutting board, and "brushed and brushed" quickly sharpened dozens of knives, and the garlic sprouts instantly turned into a plate of white sprouts. All kinds of ingredients on the table, whether meat and vegetarian or hot or cold, have become in a myriad of states, uniform and beautiful under the kitchen knife he danced. Yi Dan and the three of them were also dumbfounded, the three of them were all martial arts people who danced knives and swords, and they had seen a lot of people who could dance swords smoothly in the rivers and lakes, but they had never seen a cook, who could use the kitchen knife so superbly, that elegant posture and brisk technique were simply not inferior to any swordsmanship on the rivers and lakes.

Soon, the chef finished cutting and matching the various ingredients. Yi Dan thought to himself, this cook's knife skills in cutting vegetables are so good, and he also has an obvious kung fu figure, could he be a person who also knows martial arts?

After a while, a large basket of loquat was all peeled, and the guy said, "Master Fu, the loquat has been peeled, what should I do next?"

The chef Fu said, "Well, okay, then let's start boiling loquat paste." ”

After that, Master Nafu put a little water in a clean iron pot, then poured a large basket of loquat into the water, and began to slowly stir it with a wooden stick. After a while, the water in the pot became less and less, and the loquat was yellow again, slowly getting darker and darker, and turning brown.

After a while, Master Fu felt a little overwhelmed, he wiped his sweat, and said to the guy on the side: "I'm tired, you can stir it up, the strength should be appropriate, not too fast, not too slow." ”

The guy took the stick and nodded, continued to stir in the pot, and then asked with concern: "Master Fu, haven't you had a good rest recently?" I see that your face has become more and more haggard these days. ”

Master Fu said: "It's nothing for you, you just do your own thing, and don't ask about other things, don't care." ”

The fellow said aggrievedly, "Oh, I see. ”

Yi Dan also felt that this cook's temper was so strange, and when others cared about him, he responded so coldly.

Just thinking about it, carefully boiling loquat ointment, it has been boiled.

Yi Dan looked from a distance and saw that the big basket of loquat just now had only made a small bowl of loquat paste.

Master Fu put up a small bowl of loquat paste, and then asked the man, "What time is it?"

The guy looked at the sundial outside the door and said, "If you pay back to your lordship, it should be more than half of the time by now." ”

Master Fu said: "Okay, I'm going to start making lunch, you look at the heat, I'll stir-fry." ”

"Yes, Master Fu. "The man agreed. Mr. Nafu personally stir-fried several side dishes, including stir-fried bacon with capers and wild bracken, stir-fried lamb liver with shredded ginger, and fried salted fish, etc., all of which are some delicious home-cooked and appetizing Shuzhong dishes.

After a while, a few dishes were fried and served. At this time, a family member at the door ran over and said, "Master Fu, the master has retired and returned home, please hurry up and serve the food, it's time to eat." ”

Master Fu said: "Well, Haole, the dish is coming up." After the messenger left, Master Fu turned around and asked, "Where is the maid who serves the food, why hasn't she come yet?"

The guy on the side said: "Lord Fu, that's the case, in two days it will be the eightieth birthday of the mother of the king of Chaojun, and now she is preparing a birthday banquet." The lord asked all the maids in our house to go to the Chaojun Wangfu to help, and there are no maids in the house today. ”

Master Fu said: "Then what should I do, how can this meal be delivered?"

One of the guys said, "Then let me deliver it." ”

Fu Dadao: "How can this work? Men do chores, women serve tea and food, this is the rule, we can't break the rules without permission." ”

The guy said: "It's okay, our master is not the kind of person who picks on luxury and pays attention to pomp, it's okay if I send it." ”

"Even that won't work, look at the oil you're all over. If Xiangye sees you so dirty in a while, can you still eat?" said Master Fu.

At this time, Yi Dan, who was standing on the side, took the initiative to ask: "It's better to let me try" Yi Dan thought to himself, in this way, he could get in touch with the legendary virtuous minister Zhao Guangyi, and it was much more convenient for him to investigate the case, so he said so.
