Chapter 164: Wine and meat also have people in the Tao
Shang Buqi's whole body mana was vigilant, and he didn't dare to relax, if he hadn't been able to see the cultivation of this thin old man, and he could play with this thunderball in his palm, he would have already launched an attack.
At the time of business and thought.
I saw that the old man held the hand of the thunderball, grabbed it violently, and the thunderball turned into a little spiritual power and disappeared into the air.
This time, Shang Buqi, who was even more shocked, was a little hairy.
The thin old man smiled, looked at what Shang Buqi was about to say, and a smell of rabbit meat came into his nose, he moved his nose, and said with a smile, "Little brother, what are you roasting." ”
Shang Buqi's mana was suddenly confused at this time, not for anything else, but was shocked by the nonsense of this thin old man, he looked at the thin old man with disdain, and said in his heart, isn't this old man talking nonsense, the rabbit is roasting there, and he asked what it is, is it not blind.
Shang Buqi said, "Senior, junior roasted rabbit meat, if the senior doesn't dislike it, eat some with me." ”
The oil on the rabbit's body made another rattling sound, and the old man seemed to be a little panicked, but he couldn't step forward and say, "The fire is over." ”
Of course, Shang Buqi knew that the fire was over, if he hadn't been on guard against this thin old man, he would have been on fire a long time ago.
He hurriedly turned around and took off the rabbit, the old man's eyes narrowed, and he sat opposite Shang Buqi with a smile, although Shang Buqi was reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to go crazy easily, after all, the thin old man's thunder skills just now were enough for him to be afraid of.
Shang Buqi dragged down the rabbit leg and threw it to the old man, but the old man was not polite, and he was not busy eating it after taking it, but put it in front of his nose and sniffed it first.
With a look of enjoyment, he said to himself, "Hmm~, the fragrance is first-class." ”
Then he took a bite gently, and Shang Buqi saw that the old man was weird, so he didn't pay attention to it, so he ate it in a big gulp.
And the thin old man who had just taken a bite suddenly opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and was stunned, Shang Buqi was also strange when he saw the old man like this, "Could it be that my rabbit meat is poisonous?"
"It's so delicious!" the old man cried out suddenly.
Startled, Shang Buqi almost let out the Fallen Flame.
The old man took a few more bites and grabbed Shang Buqi's hand and said, "Big brother, what kind of spices do you put in this rabbit meat, how can the meat be kept so tender, and the spices will not cover the taste of the original rabbit meat itself, what kind of spice is this." ”
The old man's name for Shang Buqi changed from a little brother to a big brother, which shows his flattery.
The thin old man chewed the rabbit meat in his mouth and opened his eyes wide and waited for Shang Buqi's answer, Shang Buqi didn't make a sound for a long time, and the old man realized that he was rude, so he hurriedly returned to his position, smiled embarrassedly and waited for Shang Buqi's answer expectantly.
And Shang Buqi also admired the old man's sense of taste in his heart, when he roasted this rabbit, he was indeed coated with his special spices, this spice was developed by himself when he was in Zhongzhou, it is one of a variety of spices, made of many medicinal herbs and plants that can play a role in seasoning, it can be said that it is unique to Shang Buqi.
The biggest feature of the spices on this rabbit meat is that it is not easy to detect, and then the person who eats it feels that it has a unique aroma, but after careful chewing, it is found that there is no trace of seasoning at all, but the taste of the meat itself.
This thin old man has eaten it, if it is not for the excellent attainments in taste and cooking skills, it is absolutely impossible to taste it, even if it is the chef of today's big restaurant, I am afraid he will have to scratch his head.
Shang Buqi cleared his throat and said, "This spice is my exclusive configuration, specially used when roasting rabbit meat, if it is other meat or other cooking methods, you can't use this spice to flavor, you don't understand." ”
The old man's mouth kept chewing, and when he heard Shang Buqi's words, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Could it be that you have other kinds of spices?"
"Of course, it's all my own configuration. Shang Buqi's words are true, when he was in Zhongzhou, in addition to practicing the elixir of life every day, he was thinking about what to eat and drink, Dongting basically didn't eat, he only had his own local materials in Zhongzhou, developed various ingredients to eat, and unconsciously made him a side business, a top chef.
When the old man heard this, he came to Shang Buqi again, turned his hand, and a bottle appeared in his hand, as soon as the bottle appeared, there was an overflowing aroma of wine floating around, Shang Buqi couldn't help but be moved, the old man saw Shang Buqi's expression, and he was also a little proud, and said, "Big brother, this is my own wine, how about it, the taste alone is very fragrant." ”
As he spoke, the old man opened the bottle, and the aroma of the wine was even stronger, but Shang Buqi pretended to be calm and said, "I won't know until I drink it." ”
As he spoke, he reached out to take the wine bottle, the old man did not refuse, Shang Buqi poured a sip of wine, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, "This old man really has two hits, this is fruit wine, the aroma is overflowing, after drinking, there is not only the aroma of wine, but also the fragrance of fresh fruit left in the mouth, it should be brewed with a variety of rare and exotic fruits." ”
Shang Buqi in Zhongzhou when he did not study the things to drink, although he opened a pharmacy, but since he was a child, he has a good relationship with the Lu family across the road, since he was a child, he always ran to the Lu family's restaurant, and the chef is also close, and later Lu Bufeng's daughter Lu Yun was born a few years later, Shang Buqi took Lu Yun, who was five years younger than him, to play in the Lu family restaurant, there are many people in the kitchen, children naturally like to be lively, and inevitably come into contact with the cooking method, there was a time when the chef of the Lu family restaurant had to accept Shang Buqi as a successor, teach him to cook, and Shang Buqi arrived in Zhongzhou, the problem of eating and drinking is naturally difficult for him。
Although Dong Ting didn't eat, it was good tea and good wine, and seeing that Shang Buqi's cooking skills were good, he passed on the method of brewing, and Shang Buqi knew that it was Dong Ting himself who was too lazy to move, and took him as a coolie, clearly saying that it was to pass on the method of brewing to Shang Buqi, in fact, it was to let Shang Buqi make wine, but Dong Ting drank most of it, and then jokingly said that Shang Buqi's understanding of eating and drinking was far more than practice.
The thin old man stared at Shang Buqi, with a strong look of pride in his eyes, thinking that he was waiting for Shang Buqi to finish drinking and praising his wine.
Although the fruit wine brewed by this old man is of the highest quality, it is by no means top-notch in Shang Buqi's eyes, and he said quietly and lightly, "You have to enjoy wine and meat, your fruit wine is okay, and it is paired with the rabbit meat that I have caught fire." ”
"What! okay?" The thin old man was obviously displeased, Shang Buqi's words were obvious, his rabbit meat was over, and the old man obviously knew that the heat of this kind of roasted food was the most important, once the heat was over, no matter how good the ingredients and seasonings were, it would be in vain, since Shang Buqi's rabbit meat was over, it was naturally not the best quality, and said that his wine was still matched, the meaning was self-evident, it was his wine.
The old man's expression was a little annoyed, and he was about to have a seizure, when he heard Shang Buqi say, "Your wine belongs to fruit wine, and it is made with a total of five kinds of fruits, tiger bone fruit, plantain, white frost melon, purple leaf dates, and the largest amount of Wankou grapes. ”
These five kinds of fruits are not rare fruits, and they are also relatively common fruits in Changsheng Prefecture, but they are expensive fruits, which are difficult for ordinary people to eat, and they can only be enjoyed by some dignitaries.
Shang Buqi didn't say the name of a fruit, the old man's face became more and more ugly, Shang Buqi glanced at the old man, poured another sip of wine and continued, "This fruit wine has the most changes, the combination of different fruits has different tastes, different dosages, different brewing times have a lot of attention, although your five kinds of fruits are cleverly matched, but the order of the order is not grasped well, and the brewing time is a little long, and there is no timely opening of the cellar." ”
Shang Buqi said eloquently, the old man couldn't sit still, his face was full of shock, to say that there are a few kinds of fruits this is a trivial matter, but the brewing process was said by Shang Buqi is not bad, this is not ordinary people can do, this old man boasts of studying eating and drinking for hundreds of years, but he can't reach such a state.
And Shang Buqi said that the opening of the cellar was not timely, which is talking about the old man's sore spot, this fruit wine was originally a matching method developed by him, everything was ready, and when he was preparing to open the cellar, he was in trouble, delaying the time of opening the cellar, he was also very angry at that time, but after tasting the taste, he was still very satisfied, and then he didn't care about the problem of too long brewing time, but Shang Buqi drank it and said the shortcomings, how could he not be shocked.
The old man snatched the wine bottle and drank it, tasted it carefully, and carefully pondered what Shang Buqi said, Shang Buqi saw that he had nothing to say for a long time, and he didn't make a sound, and ate rabbit meat by himself.
The old man coughed and said, "You say I can't drink this wine, so you can take it out better than mine." ”
Shang Buqi couldn't take it out, and he didn't have any brewed wine on him at this time, so how could he get it.
"Nope. Shang Buqi said coldly.
The old man didn't get angry when he heard Shang Buqi's words, but tore another piece of rabbit meat, and then ate it and poured the fruit wine in the bottle, enjoying it with a face, as if he had forgotten Shang Buqi's evaluation of his wine just now.
Then he said to Shang Buqi with a smile on his face, "Hehe, brother, look at the recipe of your rabbit meat spices, hehe......"
Shang Buqi despised the old man's fast change of face in his heart, and said, "This is my exclusive formula, and I will not pass it on to outsiders." ”
The old man didn't give up, and said all the good things until the whole rabbit was eaten and the bottle of fruit wine was drunk, and Shang Buqi just didn't let go.
The old man saw that he couldn't get it for a while, so he changed his method, and chatted with Shang Buqi on the side, and Shang Buqi didn't push him away, so he chatted with him all night, basically the old man was asking, he was answering, all of them were cooking questions, but they didn't involve the brewing method of wine.
Shang Buqi also said lightly, but did not reveal the slightest thing about the seasoning formula, although this made the old man a little annoyed, but after this night, the old man's admiration for Shang Buqi was even more attached, and Shang Buqi also knew that this old man had reached a level of obsession with eating, drinking and cooking, and his attainments were not low.
But if Shang Buqi knew the old man's age, and he had been obsessed with cooking for hundreds of years, and he was not as accomplished as Shang Buqi, I am afraid that Shang Buqi would have scolded this old man for being a fool, but this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
